Chapter 940 - 940: Rapid Growth
Chapter 940: Rapid Growth
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm, Chen Fei’s combat power was already extraordinarily impressive. What was even more critical was that, despite not advancing in realms, Chen Fei’s combat power continued to grow.
Once the divine seed transformed into a complete divine ability, and with Chen Fei improving his proficiency with the Desolate Thunder Night Star Sword and reaching the critical point with his source energy, his combat power would skyrocket further.
“This level of power should be enough to rank in the thirtieth position among the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm experts, right?”
Chen Fei recalled the scene of competing for the courtyard and thought that the thirtieth position in the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm was indeed very strong, but now, Chen Fei was even stronger!
“It’s likely that everyone is busy with tasks right now. I’ll challenge them again in a month!”
Chen Fei thought about it and decided not to rush. Instead, he continued to close his eyes and refine his techniques and the proficiency of his divine seed.
Compared to the merit points gained from such a cross-tier challenge, the rewards from ordinary tasks issued by the Qiankun Mansion were somewhat less.
With the Indestructible Vision reaching the perfect stage, not only did Chen Fei’s combat power increase, but his resonance with the Qiankun Cauldron also improved once more.
When Chen Fei first entered the Qiankun Mansion, his resonance with the Qiankun Cauldron was at three and a half inches, between high-grade and supreme resonance.
Now, with the Indestructible Vision perfected, and excluding the influence of the Qiankun Technique, Chen Fei’s resonance with the Qiankun Cauldron had reached four and a half inches.
This was the same level of resonance as Lu Shuzhang’s, who was considered the top expert among all Sun Moon Realm practitioners in the Sky Sea Branch and beyond.
With the Indestructible Vision perfected, Chen Fei had reached this level too.
Regarding the cultivation of the Qiankun Technique, with the support of the panel, Chen Fei was certainly the fastest in his cultivation.
In other words, Chen Fei’s resonance with the Qiankun Cauldron was the strongest among all Sun Moon Realm practitioners.
Soon, Chen Fei felt the difference.
Previously, when his Indestructible Vision was at the proficient stage, his resonance was at four inches, which was the supreme resonance.
At this level of resonance, Chen Fei could already clearly sense the enhancement.
Now, with the resonance being the strongest, the enhancement was not just a slight improvement but a significant leap.
After a brief period of cultivation, Chen Fei opened his eyes, surprised.
He hadn’t expected such a tremendous change after increasing the resonance to this level.
“Strong people get stronger, and the resources at the top position are significantly more!”
Chen Fei’s gaze shifted, and then he closed his eyes again.
Since the top-level resonance had such a huge advantage, Chen Fei naturally wanted to maintain it.
From the feedback gained at this resonance level, Chen Fei could achieve a fifty percent increase in the accumulation of source energy and the improvement of various techniques’ proficiency without using any spiritual materials or pills.
Cultivating within the Qiankun Mansion was already very fast, and an additional fifty percent increase was almost to the point of being abnormal.
Moreover, once Chen Fei advanced the Indestructible Vision to the Great Completion stage and transformed it into a complete divine ability, the resonance would increase again.
The Qiankun Technique reaching its peak would also add about half an inch to the resonance.
Chen Fei’s resonance was only slightly higher than that of Lu Shuzhang and others, yet it already provided such a significant enhancement.
Once his resonance surpasses theirs by half a grade, Chen Fei would become a unique existence, and the Qiankun Cauldron would likely provide even greater benefits.
“Everyone’s cultivation progresses from easy to difficult, but my cultivation within the Qiankun Mansion seems to be getting easier and easier?”
A thought crossed Chen Fei’s mind, and he immediately cleared his thoughts and began his formal cultivation.
Outside the human borders.
“How many have we killed?”
In a canyon, several shadowy figures stood together, a chilling aura lingering around them.
“Not many, and they were all ordinary human Sun Moon Realm practitioners. Those prodigies are very cautious.”
“Be careful. There might be a peak-stage human Sun Moon Realm expert hiding, deliberately waiting for us to make a move.”
“Don’t worry. Our clan has its own preparations. Whether we hunt them or they hunt us, it’s still uncertain!” One of the shadows chuckled softly.
“There’s a prodigy from the human Qiankun Mansion who has recently emerged in the early Sun Moon Realm. This person has suppressed all early Sun Moon Realm experts in the branches. Our clan has already listed him as a target for elimination, with a generous reward!”
“But according to the reports from our spies, this person hasn’t appeared recently, which is a pity!” Another shadow licked his lips, revealing his crimson teeth.
“There will be opportunities. This person can’t hide within human borders forever. As long as he dares to appear outside the human borders, it will be his death!”
“Hmm? A human Sun Moon Realm has appeared. Kill!”
With a low shout, several shadows vanished from their positions and rushed towards the location of the human Sun Moon Realm expert.
Recently, the intensity of localized battles along the human borders had been increasing.
The human Rule Integration Realm did not interfere with these matters. As long as there were no Sixth Stage alien creatures involved, they allowed humans and other alien races to clash.
Battle was not the entirety of cultivation, but it must be said that sometimes battles could become a catalyst for cultivation, gaining insights into realms through life and death, and then breaking through those realms!
The value of a Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm expert was far greater than that of a Sun Moon Realm practitioner.
Thus, if such catalysis could produce several Rule Integration Realm experts, it would be advantageous for the humans.
It was harsh, but when considering the survival of the race, only such cold-heartedness could potentially lead the humans through the Return to Nothing Realm.
Cultivation does not pause for a month, let alone just one short month.
As the rest period approached, human Sun Moon Realm practitioners gradually returned to the Qiankun Mansion to refine the gains from over twenty days of combat.
This battle yielded substantial gains for all the trainees, not only in terms of cultivation insights but also in merit points rewarded by the Qiankun Mansion.
Once these were fully digested, everyone’s strength would increase a level.
However, there were many casualties among the Sun Moon Realm practitioners. In battle, anything could happen, and life and death could hinge on a moment.
“Jia Hongwen is dead?”
Chen Fei looked at the usually occupied spot of Jia Hongwen beside him, now empty, and his brow furrowed slightly.
“Bad luck. He encountered a powerful member of the Evil Clan. If not for other Sun Moon Realm experts being nearby, we would all have perished.” Luan Liqing said softly.
“Fortunately, you didn’t go to the borders this time, Chen Fei. The Evil Clan and Ice Clans are specifically hunting our Qiankun Mansion’s prodigies.” Luan Liqing suddenly looked up.
“What’s the name of that powerful Evil Clan member?” Chen Fei asked, looking at Luan Liqing.
“Fu Zhao! Many have died at his hands!” Luan Liqing gritted his teeth.
“What’s his realm?”
“Peak Sun Moon Realm.”
Chen Fei nodded, said nothing, but noted the name down.
In one month, with the resonance with the Qiankun Cauldron, Chen Fei’s cultivation had advanced rapidly.
The Indestructible Vision, which had just reached perfection, was now already twenty percent advanced in progress.
In other words, if he maintained this pace, it would take another four months to evolve the Indestructible Vision into a complete divine ability.
Thanks to the resonance with the Qiankun Cauldron, far exceeding the supreme level, even the Qiankun Technique’s cultivation speed had increased, and it was now heading towards perfection.
As he continued towards the unique level of resonance, Chen Fei found that he was indeed cultivating faster and faster.
The newly acquired technique, the Desolate Thunder Night Star Sword, had now surpassed the halfway mark in proficiency. This meant that in another month, it would reach the proficient stage.
This was the most elite Sun Moon Realm inheritance, and the speed at which Chen Fei was mastering it had reached an astonishing level.
It could only be said that the Qiankun Cauldron truly lived up to its reputation as the number one treasure of the human race.
As for the source energy cultivation, Chen Fei had previously needed nine Returning Origin Pills to reach the threshold of the early Sun Moon Realm.
Today, Chen Fei discovered that he only needed eight Returning Origin Pills.
Without any spiritual materials to assist, Chen Fei had achieved this remarkable feat of requiring one Returning Origin Pill per month, thanks to his resonance with the Qiankun Cauldron and the support from the courtyard.
However, without the Returning Origin Pills, Chen Fei would need another eight months to reach the critical value of source energy cultivation.
By then, the Indestructible Vision would have already transformed, and the slow progress of source energy cultivation would be a hindrance. Therefore, exchanging for Returning Origin Pills was still necessary.
Currently, the fastest way to exchange for Returning Origin Pills was to challenge the thirtieth-ranked mid-stage Sun Moon Realm expert in the Sky Sea Branch.
On the third morning, Chen Fei arrived outside Hua Zhichun’s courtyard.
Sensing Chen Fei’s presence, Hua Zhichun appeared with a puzzled expression.
“I want to challenge Chang Jiyun. Are you going to open a betting pool?” Chen Fei asked with a smile.
Chen Fei could not be the house because he was the challenger, and his merit points and connections were not sufficient to act as the house.
He could not be the house, but he could place a bet.
“You want to challenge Chang Jiyun?” Hua Zhichun’s gaze shifted slightly upon hearing Chen Fei’s words.
Chang Jiyun was ranked thirtieth among the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm experts in the Sky Sea Branch. Hua Zhichun knew this, as he remembered only a few Sun Moon Realm experts worth noting in the Sky Sea Branch.
If Chen Fei wanted to challenge Chang Jiyun, it would be a cross-tier challenge.
Currently, there were a few people in the Qiankun Mansion who had attempted it, but all had failed.
“I need to think about it,” Hua Zhichun replied, not immediately agreeing.
Even Hua Zhichun was unsure if setting up the betting pool would be profitable.
The difficulty of cross-tier challenges was evident, and no student in this cohort had succeeded yet.
But Chen Fei’s reputation preceded him. A month ago, he had single-handedly overwhelmed all early Sun Moon Realm experts in the Qiankun Mansion without any resistance.
Given Chen Fei’s demonstrated strength, which was already comparable to that of an average mid-stage Sun Moon Realm expert, it was possible that he could succeed in challenging Chang Jiyun.
If a betting pool were set up, many might bet on Chen Fei winning, and he indeed had a chance of winning.
However, the possibility of losing was also significant!
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Fei appeared outside Chang Jiyun’s courtyard and delivered his challenge letter.
“You want to challenge me?”
Chang Jiyun looked at the challenge letter in his hand, then raised his gaze to look coldly at Chen Fei. Suddenly, he burst into loud laughter, which grew louder and louder.
The first in the early Sun Moon Realm—such great arrogance!
Challenging him across tiers?
Did he think that Chang Jiyun’s blade had become so dull it could no longer cut through people?
