Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

The next morning, the teleportation hall in Jiguang City buzzed with activity as the Rule Integration Realm cultivators from the other four human cities arrived.

Chen Fei stood at the back of the teleportation hall, observing the eighteen human imperial sovereigns in front and the surrounding Rule Integration Realm cultivators.

This was the pinnacle of human power, the reason the human race could exist independently in the Return to Nothing Realm and not become a vassal race to some other clan relied on their own strength.

However, with the arrival of the Wu Meng Clan, the independent status of the human race could potentially be broken.

Of course, there was another possibility, that the Wu Meng Clan would not even deem the dozen or so races of the Black Stone Domain worthy of vassalage.

After all, even vassal races are somewhat considered part of the collective and would normally receive a modicum of care.

But the Wu Meng Clan has retreated to the Black Stone Domain, and that race opposing the Wu Meng Clan might even pursue them there.

For the dozen or so races in the Black Stone Domain, the more likely outcome is that they become mere enforcers for the Wu Meng Clan.

Chen Fei’s gaze shifted, pausing briefly on someone before moving on.

Yu Wuheng, a prodigy of the human race, on whom everyone had high hopes, seeing him as the potential twentieth imperial sovereign. However, at this moment, Yu Wuheng was burdened with a heavy malevolence.

Many things cannot be achieved simply by hoping.

Yu Wuheng had used three Dimension Origins, but in the end, he did not break through to the Emperor Realm and remained at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm.

Normally, if someone has not achieved a breakthrough after using two Dimension Origins, Yu Wuheng’s contributions would have been insufficient to exchange for the third Dimension Origin.

But Yu Wuheng’s talent, exhibited back then, was so strong that after using two Dimension Origins, it was wondered if he was just a step away from reaching the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm?

In the end, the eighteen imperial sovereigns decided to give the third Dimension Origin to Yu Wuheng, yet after several months of seclusion, he still failed.

This not only severely damaged Yu Wuheng’s own confidence but also struck a blow to the entire human race. But it also illustrated just how difficult it is to reach the Emperor Realm.

Today, the talent Chen Fei has shown surpasses that of Yu Wuheng back then, but even so, no one dares to claim that Chen Fei will definitely achieve the Emperor Realm.

“I’ve heard about your exploits all the way in Han Yun City, well done!” Jiang Chengji, seeing Chen Fei at the back, approached him with a smile and said.

“It was just luck, I’m flattered by your praise, senior.” Seeing Jiang Chengji, Chen Fei said as he clasped his hands in a salute.

For this senior who proactively offered guidance on his cultivation in the Qiankun Treasure Depository, Chen Fei always felt grateful in his heart.

“In a head-on duel, there is no such thing as luck,” Jiang Chengji said with a smile, shaking his head.

“Now that everyone is here, let’s set off,” said Chen Fei.

Just as Chen Fei was about to speak, Emperor Pu Changyun’s voice resonated throughout the teleportation hall, followed by a massive teleportation formation lighting up, almost encompassing half of the entire hall.

For this trip to the Meng Clan’s land’s boundary, the humans would first teleport once, arriving in the Shan Clan’s Fengyue City nearby, and then fly to the Wu Meng Clan’s boundary from there.

The human race used to be in an alliance with the Shan Clan, but with the invasion of the Ice Race and Evil Clans, the Shan Clan withdrew from the alliance.

While the humans were somewhat discontented, they didn’t go out of their way to blame the Shan Clan.

Facing the Evil Clans with their Open Heaven Realm cultivators, the other races indeed lacked the power to resist, and their not aligning with the Evil Clans was due to the precarious state of the Clans’ elder, which was somewhat eerie.

Now, with the arrival of the Meng Clan, all warfare has ceased in the Black Stone Domain, and although the alliance with the Shan Clan was no more, there was no enmity between them.

Among the races, unless there is an irreconcilable conflict, many times it’s just a union of interests.

This time, by passing through Fengyue City, the Shan Clan would join the human race in heading to the Wu Meng Clan’s domain.

A beam of light rose from the teleportation hall into the heavens, and those within Jiguang City watched the column of light with mixed feelings.

No one knew whether the arrival of the Wu Meng Clan would be a blessing or a curse for the human race.

Inside the protective shield of the teleportation formation, Chen Fei watched the spatial changes around him, sensing a stirring in his heart.

It had been years since he last traveled through a teleportation formation, and now, with his growing grasp over the Space Secondary Rules, riding the formation again gave him a different sensation.

While enlightenment would be an overstatement, it did inspire some new thoughts about the Space Secondary Rules in Chen Fei’s mind.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the barrier of the teleportation formation trembled slightly before it slowly dissipated, revealing that they had arrived at a different location.

Looking ahead, Chen Fei saw many cultivators of the Shan Clan’s Rule Integration Realm already standing not far away, smiling at the humans on the teleportation formation.

“Thank you for accommodating us this time,” said the eighteen human imperial sovereigns as they stepped forward to exchange pleasantries with the Shan Clan’s Emperor.

The Shan Clan’s strength was not weak, with ten Emperor Realm powerhouses in total, making them above average among the races of the Black Stone Domain.

Compared to the human race, they were certainly at a disadvantage.

“It’s just the use of a teleportation formation; from here on, I hope our two races can continue to support each other,” the Shan Clan’s Emperor said, adopting a humble stance.

The future of the Black Stone Domain was uncertain to all, yet standing watch for one another offered some peace of mind.

“Of course,” Weng Zongfang said with a smile.

The imperial sovereigns of the two clans exchanged pleasantries in the front, while the Rule Integration Realm cultivators of both sides observed each other from behind.

Many from the Rule Integration Realm of the Shan Clan would size up Yu Wuheng and, sensing the violent aura about him, avert their gazes.

How many Dimension Origins the human race had acquired was something nearly a dozen surrounding clans were aware of, and they also understood which among them had imperial sovereign seeds growing within.

Although they did not know how many Dimension Origins Yu Wuheng had used up, the fact that he had yet to break through meant that his chances of reaching the peak of the Rule Integration Realm in the future were slim.

The gaze of the Rule Integration Realm of the Shan Clan moved around, and eventually, almost all of them landed on Chen Fei.

Having slain eight cultivators of the same rank at the early stage of Rule Integration Realm in one battle, and that too shortly after his own breakthrough about a year ago—the talent displayed was absolutely inconceivable, impossible to ignore.

Chen Fei remained expressionless, showing no reaction to these scrutinizing gazes.

After half an hour, a massive ship hovered in the sky, with all the Rule Integration Realm cultivators from both human and Shan Clans aboard. The ship trembled slightly and then vanished into the horizon.

On the ship, each Rule Integration Realm cultivator had a private room. Chen Fei was currently sitting cross-legged on his bed, activating the room’s formations to block any potential prying eyes.

Furthermore, Chen Fei had set up his own formation designed to contain any fluctuations of Vital Energy and to ensure concealment.

To reach Meng City of the Wu Meng Clan with the speed of this ship, it would take five days—a duration sufficient for Chen Fei’s cultivation to improve a bit.

Without Rule Crystals to aid growth, the only option was to seize every day for intensive training.

This assembly of all Rule Integration Realm cultivators in the Black Stone Domain by the Wu Meng Clan was for more than a mere demonstration of power; it was also for marshaling that power against the Wu Meng Clan’s enemy races.

This was something that every race within the Black Stone Domain had partially guessed.

There were those who wished to revolt, but faced with the might of the Wu Meng Clan, any reluctance was futile.

Compared to the war between the human and the Evil Clans of the Ice Race, this sort of conflict against a powerful race was undoubtedly more brutal. Being deficient in personal power, one could easily become cannon fodder, which was not what Chen Fei wished to witness.

With several thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen Fei shattered ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals and began his usual routine of cultivating.

Not three thousand, but directly using the full amount of ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

At such a time, there was no room to think about cost efficiency, only how to enhance one’s strength rapidly.

Ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals allowed Chen Fei to train for what amounted to more than seven days in one day.

Whereas three thousand crystals could extend a day’s training to the equivalent of five days, thus the additional wear and tear was evident from ten thousand crystals yielding just over seven days’ worth of training.

Had the concentration of Spiritual Mechanism not capped after surpassing ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals, Chen Fei would have continued to shatter even more crystals.

Chen Fei began to operate his martial arts, sinking his mental defenses deeper into the cultivation process.

The ship sped across the firmament—a low-grade mystical treasure produced by the Gong Clan. While its defensive and offensive capabilities were average, it had a slight edge in the speed of flight.

The vast majority of Rule Integration Realm cultivators chose to cultivate in their respective rooms, understanding that the Black Stone Domain was on the cusp of great upheaval; personal strength was the ultimate safeguard, and all else was insubstantial.

Five days flew by in the blink of an eye, without any complications arising.

Once the ship entered the territory of the Wu Meng Clan, Rule Integration Realm cultivators from the Wu Meng Clan appeared and led the ship in flight.

The entire way, the Wu Meng Clan’s Rule Integration Realm cultivators did not show any smiles, treating even the peak Rule Integration Realm cultivators of the human and Evil Clans the same.

Half a day later, the ship reached Meng City, the Wu Meng Clan’s central fortress, where the Rule Integration Realm cultivators of the human and Shan Clans were accommodated atop a mountain.

The human and Shan Clans were not the earliest arrivals; in total, the Black Stone Domain had seventeen clans overseen by Emperor Realm powerhouses, with the rest naturally becoming vassal clans.

By now, twelve clans had made it to Meng City, and it was expected that the others would arrive within the next two days.

After all, the Wu Meng Clan had given a deadline of ten days. Any delays could make it difficult to justify oneself, and it was not implausible that catastrophic consequences, such as annihilation, could ensue.

By the evening of the following day, the five remaining distant clans also arrived at Meng City. With this, all the clans in the Black Stone Domain were gathered, awaiting the summoning from the Wu Meng Clan.

Time swiftly moved to the tenth day. That morning, Chen Fei left his room early and, led by a deacon of the Wu Meng Clan, all the Rule Integration Realm cultivators from the Black Stone Domain ascended the main peak of Meng City.

Every Rule Integration Realm cultivator was silent, making no sound. Chen Fei glanced in the direction of the Evil Clans, where he saw the imperial sovereigns of the Evil Clans, as well as the elder from the Open Heaven Realm.

But at that moment, the Open Heaven Realm elder from the Evil Clans stood as solemnly as the other Rule Integration Realm cultivators.

At the hour of the Dragon, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon the main peak, weighing down Chen Fei’s soul as though mountains of immense mass bore down upon him.

Just as some Rule Integration Realm cultivators were about to falter, the pressure vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Subsequently, nine figures appeared in the sky above, gazing down from on high at all the Rule Integration Realm cultivators gathered from across the Black Stone Domain.
