Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 962: Celestial Suppression
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“This is the story of our Yuan Clan, or the Three-Eyed Clan.”

Yan’s gaze shifted from the distance, his voice carrying an infinite sense of longing and nostalgia.

As a member of the Yuan Clan, Yan deeply loved his people. He didn’t want the Yuan Clan to truly become history, disappearing into the vast river of the Return to Nothing Realm.

Thus, when Chen Fei appeared, the last person he had deduced to have successfully mastered the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, Yan couldn’t help but recount the history of the Yuan Clan in detail.

“Yuan Clan was so powerful, and yet it was destroyed?” Chen Fei asked, somewhat incredulously.

According to Yan, after the Yuan Clan suppressed the Dragon Elephant Clan, their power surged dramatically, and eventually, there were strong figures from the Yuan Clan who reached the eighth stage.

Seventh Stage to attain Open Heaven Realm, and eighth stage to create the mirror of creation!

What is the Creation Realm?

It involves recreating the universe, turning the internal space into a complete world with its own rules. Beings within this world can survive, cultivate, and even comprehend these rules.

In a Celestial Treasure, people can also survive, but it’s because the world’s energy within the treasure is fully connected to the external world.

If one is in the void, people within the Celestial Treasure would not sense the world’s energy.

The world opened by the Creation Realm, however, is a world with its own rules. Even the beings in that world might not realize they are actually living inside a powerful being.

Such a powerful entity’s strength is unimaginable.

At its peak, the Yuan Clan had not just one but dozens of such Creation Realm experts.

According to Yan, there were even Yuan Clan experts preparing to break through to the ninth stage to become a truly supreme race in the Return to Nothing Realm.

“Being weak means being trampled upon. Being too powerful also breeds envy. The Yuan Clan was too proud, too fragile, and ultimately fell.”

There was a hint of melancholy in Yan’s expression. The matter of the Six-Legged Dragon Elephant was already known to those supreme races, who naturally would not allow such events to happen again.

Thus, the Yuan Clan was completely wiped out, with not a single member left.

Chen Fei remained silent, processing what Yan had just said.

The Yuan Clan, with its Eighth Stage Creation Realm power, was completely annihilated by other races. If the human race, with only Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm strength, encountered powerful races, would they also be wiped out?

“You are of the human race, but since you have mastered the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, you are considered half of the Yuan Clan. Therefore, if you want to practice the subsequent Celestial Suppression, I can offer it to you. However, there are a few things I need to make clear,” Yan said seriously, looking at Chen Fei.

“Senior, please speak!” Chen Fei responded with a bow.

“The Yuan Clan is despised by the supreme races, who will not allow the Yuan Clan to appear again. Even if other races practice their techniques, they will also not be permitted.”

Yan fixed his intense gaze on Chen Fei and said solemnly, “Therefore, if you practice the Celestial Suppression and these supreme races find out, your entire human race will be annihilated!”

Chen Fei’s heart shook slightly. Because of practicing the Yuan Clan’s techniques, once discovered, would it lead to the extermination of the entire human race?

Even the powerful Yuan Clan was wiped out, and with the human race’s current strength, it might be completely erased from the Return to Nothing Realm with a single swipe.

“Hahaha, are you scared?” Yan laughed heartily, as if seeing Chen Fei’s expression.

“Being afraid is normal. If someone views their own race’s survival as insignificant, I wouldn’t pass on the technique!” Yan’s laughter gradually subsided.

Chen Fei remained silent. If practicing the Celestial Suppression would inevitably lead to death, he naturally wouldn’t foolishly pursue it.

After all, in comparison to those supreme races, the current human race truly had no chance at all.

To put it bluntly, even if the human race wanted to ally with those supreme races, they wouldn’t even be given a glance.

The supreme races would only consider enslaving races that were at least Seventh Stage of Open Heaven Realm, or even Eighth Stage Creation Realm.

“If practicing the technique leads to death, I won’t make a Celestial Hall here. The Celestial Suppression can reach up to the Ninth Stage, but I will only teach you up to the Seventh Stage of Open Heaven Realm.”

When he mentioned reaching the Ninth Stage, Yan’s expression was filled with pride.

Even though the Yuan Clan never produced a true ninth-stage supreme expert, they had perfected their technique up to the ninth stage.

This demonstrated the unparalleled talent of the Yuan Clan, and it was no wonder that the supreme races were wary of them, ultimately leading to their complete destruction.

Because if not suppressed, the Yuan Clan might have indeed produced a ninth-stage expert.

“As for the remaining techniques, you may continue to seek them out in the future with confidence. Once you reach the Seventh Stage of Open Heaven Realm, you will have your own insights. But if you practice the Celestial Suppression beyond the seventh stage and it is discovered, the risk of being found will significantly increase!” Yan advised earnestly.

Is it safe to only practice part of the Celestial Suppression without being discovered?

The human race is in a remote corner of the Return to Nothing Realm where the supreme races wouldn’t even look. Even if Chen Fei reaches the Seventh Stage of Open Heaven Realm, the supreme races likely won’t pay much attention to the human race.

“Please teach me the technique, Senior!” Chen Fei thought for a moment and bowed with his hands clasped.

If necessary, Chen Fei decided he could integrate some other techniques into the Celestial Suppression to obscure its appearance.

This would further reduce the chance of being discovered.

“I was waiting for you to say that!” Yan laughed heartily, though his voice grew a bit hoarse toward the end.

The Yuan Clan had perished, and now he could only find a human to inherit their techniques, proving that the Yuan Clan had once existed.

How sad, how lamentable.

But Yan had no other choice. He truly didn’t want the Yuan Clan to silently disappear from the history of the Return to Nothing Realm.

Moreover, Yan saw a vague future in this human youth.

Such a situation represented endless possibilities for the future of this human youth.

Perhaps one day he would die in some corner of the Return to Nothing Realm, or perhaps he would soar to great heights, leading the human race to glory.

And maybe, he could even destroy that supreme race?

No matter what, Yan was destined not to witness it.

But Yan was content!

At least there was still hope!

The entire Bronze Ancient Hall began to tremble violently, and countless streams of light enveloped Chen Fei’s body. A mysterious and profound technique appeared in Chen Fei’s mind.

Chen Fei couldn’t help but immerse himself in it after just a glance.

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant within him began to operate at its fullest.

Yan watched Chen Fei floating in midair with a smile on his face, his eyes involuntarily reflecting the past of the Yuan Clan.

Yan’s figure began to fade, and then disappeared.

The traces of Yan and the Yuan Clan truly vanished from the Return to Nothing Realm.

Unless in the future, Chen Fei stood at the pinnacle of the Return to Nothing Realm with the ninth-stage Celestial Suppression, other races might faintly see traces of the Yuan Clan from back then.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Fei opened his eyes. The Bronze Ancient Hall had long since vanished, and Chen Fei stood on a mountaintop.

Everything that had just happened felt like a dream.

Chen Fei looked at the panel, which now displayed a new message.

“Technique Discovered: Celestial Suppression (Seventh Stage).”

“Simplify!”

“Insufficient Primordial Crystals, unable to simplify!”

Chen Fei’s brow furrowed slightly; he needed Primordial Crystals to simplify the technique.

Primordial Crystals are used by those in the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm, and Chen Fei, currently in the Mid-Sun Moon Realm, naturally does not have any.

Chen Fei glanced into the distance, where the deathly aura had already grown quite dense. Within half an hour at most, this aura would reach its peak.

At that point, other situations would arise.

“The Yuan Clan, a supreme race!”

Yan’s words echoed in Chen Fei’s mind.

The peak had previously been littered with hundreds of blood-soaked eyeballs, and a portion of the space storm had been torn apart. It was likely that other races, aware of the Yuan Clan’s past, came here hoping for a stroke of luck.

Being pursued by supreme races would only occur once one reached a sufficient level.

Obtaining the Celestial Suppression from the Yuan Clan would be a significant achievement, whether for personal cultivation or to present to a supreme race.

However, it would be difficult for other races to cultivate the Celestial Suppression, as they would first need to perfect the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique.

Cultivating the Suppressing Dragon Elephant required the bloodline of the Dragon Elephant.

The Dragon Elephant was a powerful race at the Seventh Stage of Open Heaven Realm, and its bloodline could not simply be extracted at will.

Moreover, Chen Fei had learned that the Dragon Elephant bloodline required for the Celestial Suppression needed to be from a Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm Dragon Elephant to be effective.

Additionally, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique was specifically created by the Yuan Clan for themselves.

Some races could practice it, but they were inherently unable to reach its peak.

The techniques recorded on the Dragon Elephant Stele appeared to be ever-changing, not due to deliberate design by the Yuan Clan, but simply because the techniques were like that. If you couldn’t understand it, it was because you couldn’t practice it.

Before their destruction, the Yuan Clan had distributed thousands of Dragon Elephant Stele fragments into the void.

In the end, Yan saw only Chen Fei arriving at the Celestial Hall in the river of time.

Chen Fei, having returned from the peak, withdrew the Eternal Night Manifestation and approached the spatial passage.

“Vroom!”

The entire peak began to tremble as a sense of annihilation started to permeate.

Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly. It seemed the peak was self-destructing to conceal Chen Fei’s presence.

Chen Fei took one last look at the surrounding peak before stepping into the spatial passage.

As Chen Fei vanished, the trembling of the peak reached its climax.

When Chen Fei reappeared at the Corpse Cliff Mountain and looked back at the spatial passage, he saw it had already turned into nothingness. The spatial passage had also been destroyed after a brief tremor.

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered as he tore through space, heading towards the teleportation array at Thousand Rocks Mountain.

The harvest this time was exceptionally rich, with a direct inheritance of a seventh-stage technique—something the entire human race lacked.

Unfortunately, only Chen Fei could cultivate it; others in the human race would not be able to master this technique.

Chen Fei arrived at the teleportation array at Thousand Rocks Mountain and stepped inside.

Meanwhile, in the Return to Nothing Realm, amidst the space storm surrounding the Yuan Clan’s peak, a figure shrouded in deathly aura appeared.

Looking at the now-emptied space, the entire area began to tremble violently, with countless pieces of information constantly replaying in the figure’s eyes.
