Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 511: Can’t Wait

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Before Chen Fei beheaded Zhu Guannu, he used the Dream Entry Technique to examine Zhu Guannu’s life up to this point. Zhu Guannu’s remarkable growth and formidable combat abilities owe much to this Mystic Forging Treasure Technique.

Zhu Guannu, initially just a slave, managed to ascend to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and his innate talent was undeniable. However, the pivotal role played by this Mystic Forging Treasure Technique cannot be understated.

Without this technique, Zhu Guannu, in his daily practice or even just relying on observation, would have likely caused irreparable harm to himself due to his erratic cultivation habits.

In such a state, not only would he have struggled to advance in cultivation, but it’s highly likely that he would have perished prematurely.

Yet, thanks to this fortuitous discovery in a mountain stream, Zhu Guannu managed to break through these limitations, enabling his body to endure such rigorous cultivation practices.

It must be said that Zhu Guannu had a stroke of luck, for without it, he wouldn’t have obtained such extraordinary abilities. What’s more, his exceptional talent allowed him to persevere with this exceptionally challenging Mystic Forging Treasure Technique.

If it weren’t for his encounter with Chen Fei, Zhu Guannu’s future accomplishments would undoubtedly have surpassed his current early-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm status.

However, in this world, there are no “ifs.”

Zhu Guannu’s ability to withstand the repercussions of various restrictive techniques and rapidly recover from physical injuries can be attributed entirely to this Mystic Forging Treasure Technique.

Compared to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, which emphasizes recovery and immense strength, the Mystic Forging Treasure Technique technique is solely focused on enhancing the physical body, treating it as if it were a treasure. This is the ultimate goal of the Mystic Forging Treasure Technique.

However, humans are ultimately flesh and blood and cannot truly become a treasure. This technique, to some extent, treats the human body as a treasure to be tempered, thereby gaining immense power.

“Suppressing Dragon Elephant Spirit Tempering emphasizes recovery and great strength, while this Mystic Forging Treasure Technique prioritizes defense. They could be considered complementary,” a smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face.

This time, the battle with Zhu Guannu had yielded much richer rewards compared to ordinary encounters.

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant Spirit Tempering had reached its current state, and further cultivation would require either the accumulation of time or having the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point within absorb rare materials.

Chen Fei had tried many things, but the response from the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point was rare. Many materials that had been absorbed once did not elicit a response a second time. Chen Fei even went as far as to exchange for high-grade elemental stones.

This time, the response was somewhat more pronounced. After absorbing two pieces, the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point could still continue to absorb high-grade elemental stones to strengthen the physical body.

However, the cost was exorbitant, and the effects were not as significant as desired. At least in terms of the value of the high-grade elemental stones spent, it seemed somewhat wasteful.

With Chen Fei’s current financial resources, this method of enhancement was far too extravagant.

Moreover, Chen Fei had yet to fully grasp what kind of energy the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point wanted to absorb. Dealing with a technique that was mostly theoretical and fragmented was indeed challenging.

Initially, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Spirit Tempering’s sealing and mind-controlling parts were all fragments. It was likely that the creator of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Spirit Tempering had the idea of finding individuals with potential or innate talent to continue the work.

After all, if all the fragments could be pieced together to form a complete technique, they might be able to create the missing “soul tempering” part.

The original Dragon-Elephant True Immortal was evidently not the chosen one, and Chen Fei wasn’t either, but somehow the system forcefully made him into one.

Fortunately, this newly discovered Mystic Forging Treasure Technique could compensate for some of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Spirit Tempering’s shortcomings. According to the information on the jade slip, this technique could be cultivated starting from the Body Tempering realm.

If cultivated to its pinnacle, it would grant a physique comparable to the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, with superior defensive capabilities.

Of course, the difficulty of cultivation was immense, accompanied by intense pain. After all, it involved forging the flesh and blood body, and such pain was unavoidable.

But when it came to gaining immense power, there were rarely any easy ways!

“Discovery of a technique: Profound Suppressing Dragon Elephant…”

Hundreds of miles away, Mo Shiyi and his four companions gathered in a courtyard.

The five of them fell into a momentary silence. It had only been a few days since the end of the Blood Battle, but for them, it felt like an agonizingly long time had passed.

Not only was there widespread discussion throughout the Sea Peak City, but even within their respective sects, people were unsettled.

As the defeated side, both they and their disciples were unsure of what to do next.

“On the day of the Blood Battle, Chen Fei suffered severe injuries,” Mo Shiyi looked up at the four, his voice heavy.

Miao Wanhong and the others nodded. They had witnessed the scene on the day of the battle clearly. Although Chen Fei had emerged victorious, it was far from an easy victory, and his aura was greatly diminished.

“If we want to eliminate Chen Fei, this period is the best opportunity. Otherwise, once he recovers from his injuries, killing him will become even more difficult!” Mo Shiyi said firmly.

“So, what should we do?” Meng Heng asked in a low voice.

In Meng Heng’s heart, there was already some hesitation. However, once they sought the assistance of the Death Shadow Sect to kill Chen Fei, the cause and effect between them had already been established.

At this point, trying to seek Chen Fei’s forgiveness would come at an extremely high cost, and neither Meng Heng nor Miao Wanhong and the others were willing to give up.

Moreover, they felt that it hadn’t reached a point where they had no other opportunities. As strong as Chen Fei was, he was still only in the early stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

“Draw him out of the Primordial Sword Sect, and in the open sea, we’ll find an opportunity to surround and kill him!” Mo Shiyi’s eyes gleamed with a hint of coldness.

“In the past, that might have been possible, but now that he’s injured, he’s definitely staying at the Primordial Sword Sect to recuperate,” Miao Wanhong shook his head. If it were him who was injured, he would also stay within the sect until his injuries healed.

“Has the Death Shadow Sect given us a response? Why did our information leak?” Hu Yanwu exclaimed loudly. They wouldn’t have been in this passive situation if it weren’t for the mistake made by the Death Shadow Sect.

“The Death Shadow Sect said this matter has nothing to do with them,” Meng Heng shook his head.

In such situations, even if it were the Death Shadow Sect’s responsibility, they would never admit it, and any form of compensation was out of the question.contemporary romance

“What about the assassination? Why hasn’t it been carried out yet?” Hu Yanwu pressed on.

“The Death Shadow Sect said that this task has already been taken by an assassin, and they are still looking for an opportunity,” Meng Heng sighed.

The explanation sounded like a way of shifting blame. From the moment they issued the task to now, it had been over a year, and not only had the task not been completed, but it had also led to so many problems.

Hu Yanwu and the others were visibly angry, but dealing with a behemoth like the Death Shadow Sect left them with no practical options.

After all, the Death Shadow Sect was capable of assassinating even a mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert; their own strength was no match for that.

It was precisely because of the Death Shadow Sect’s formidable strength that they had entrusted the task in the first place. Now, they found themselves in a predicament with no way to reason it out.

“What if we raise the price and get the Death Shadow Sect to send a mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm assassin?” Miao Wanhong suggested.

When it came to Chen Fei, a monstrous figure in their eyes, Miao Wanhong believed in avoiding direct confrontation whenever possible. Hiring an assassin at the mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm would be a straightforward solution.

Upon hearing Miao Wanhong’s suggestion, Hu Yanwu and the others began to consider it. After all, they knew that Chen Fei wouldn’t spare them, and they would rather give their money to the Death Shadow Sect than let Chen Fei continue to strengthen his power.

“But what if the Death Shadow Sect takes the money and doesn’t deliver results?” Meng Heng suddenly whispered.

When a task was commissioned to assassinate someone at the early stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, the maximum time limit for the task was five years, with the Death Shadow Sect promising results within that time frame: either success or three consecutive failures.

They were aware of this rule from the beginning, as assassinating someone at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was no easy feat and vastly different from battling in the realm of cultivation.

In the past, they could have waited patiently.

But now they realized that they couldn’t afford to wait. It had only been a year, and so much had already transpired.

If they continued to wait for four years or even less, each of their sects would likely have fallen to Chen Fei’s onslaught.

Handing over two thousand high-grade elemental stones as payment was a significant amount, and if the Death Shadow Sect didn’t act soon, they would end up with nothing.

In the end, who would be the one at a loss?

“Tell the Death Shadow Sect that within a month, either they find a way to lure Chen Fei out to the open sea alone, cooperate with us to surround and kill him, and if they succeed, we’ll increase the payment by thirty percent!”

Mo Shiyi looked at the others and spoke with determination. “Or, they send a mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert to directly slay Chen Fei, and we can double the payment!”

Mo Shiyi was no longer willing to wait passively. While Chen Fei was heavily injured, if the Death Shadow Sect could lure him out, he would be willing to pay more to have Chen Fei killed.

Hu Yanwu and the others exchanged glances and finally nodded. The payment for the task given to the Death Shadow Sect should not be in vain; they had to ensure that the Death Shadow Sect took some action.

“Activate our planted spies and closely monitor the movements of Qin Haishan and the others. If Chen Fei really goes out to sea, make sure that these few people don’t follow him!” Mo Shiyi instructed.

One day later, at the Primordial Sword Sect.

Chen Fei was in the midst of his meditation when suddenly, a jade stone in his hand vibrated. It was a jade stone left by Duan Muxiao, specifically for communicating with the various undercover agents of the Death Shadow Sect.

Chen Fei contemplated for a moment and then disappeared from his location. An hour later, he reappeared in the courtyard, wearing a somewhat peculiar expression.

“They want to lure me out to sea?” Chen Fei stroked his chin.

Because not long ago, Chen Fei had appeared at a branch of the Death Shadow Sect in the guise of Duan Muxiao. As a result, the Death Shadow Sect had been under the impression that Duan Muxiao’s mission was still ongoing.

Of course, Duan Muxiao’s mission had a total time limit of only two years. If it couldn’t be completed within that time frame, the position would automatically become available for others to take.

Regarding Meng Heng’s protest against the Death Shadow Sect, the Death Shadow Sect didn’t really believe that they were at fault. They had thoroughly investigated all aspects, and everything appeared normal.

If there was a leak of information, it was likely due to the customer mishandling their own information, and it had nothing to do with the Death Shadow Sect.

“It seems they’re getting impatient because of my injuries! They’re willing to spend money to hire a mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert.”

Chen Fei’s gaze shifted. At the moment, the Death Shadow Sect was waiting for Duan Muxiao’s response on whether they could lure him out to sea. If they couldn’t, they would cancel Duan Muxiao’s mission and have a mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert take over..
