Chapter 3: Mixed Element Golden Palace, No Distance Between Heaven and Earth (Part 2)
So the two got up and walked toward the backyard.
Li Fei summoned Lv Wenxing and Xu Xiaotian, two Tao Foundation Stage protectors, to guard outside while he and Shen Zhen entered the secret chamber.
"I only provide True Power and basic Magic, the specific content of the Illusion Realm is handled by the Marquis himself?"
Shen Zhen asked.
This pattern is the most common, because the Illusion Realm might involve personal privacy, sect's martial arts secrets, and other contents, so usually, people from the Nightmare Sect only help to establish the basic part of the Illusion Realm and provide 'energy', while the other specific content is constructed by the person entering the realm.
To avoid the secrets being spied upon, an Oath Technique will be set in advance with people from the Nightmare Sect.
Li Fei himself understands the Nightmare Sect's Magic, and he is already a True Master, so he is not worried about being spied on by Shen Zhen, and does not need to set an oath.
He nodded to Shen Zhen: "That's correct, thank you, True Master."
Shen Zhen: "The Marquis is too polite, please begin."
Then, Li Fei injected his True Power into the Dream Command in his arms, and performed Magic.
Perceiving the aura of the Dream Command, Shen Zhen's expression changed slightly, somewhat excited.
At this moment, Li Fei was distractedly constructing the Illusion Realm, and so close to her, if she made a move, she had a great chance of snatching the Dream Command back.
However, she did not take any action, just infused her True Power into the Illusion Realm constructed by Li Fei.
Soon, Li Fei appeared atop a massive White Jade Square.
Dense fog was enveloping the square, and mountain winds were howling.
This was precisely the Cloud Sea Plateau of the Daluo Sect!
As Li Fei continually poured in True Power and practiced Magic, a humanoid figure gradually emerged up ahead.
Dressed in a Daoist robe, carrying a longsword, with floating beard and solemn expression, it was the Martial Arts Master Qing Xie of the Daluo Sect.
Shen Zhen did not intentionally spy on the Illusion Realm constructed by Li Fei, but her cultivation was indeed there, and in terms of understanding and mastery of the Nightmare Sect's Magic, she far exceeded Li Fei.
Thus, when Li Fei constructed Qing Xie, she immediately sensed it and guessed who Li Fei was constructing in the Illusion Realm.
This moved her heart and spirit.
Back in the Dream Realm, she pursued Li Fei all the way to confirm his identity.
Ultimately, to avoid exposing his identity and shake off her pursuit, Li Fei dared to enter the subconscious world of Master Qing Xie.
She followed closely and went in too.
Both had some adventures in Qing Xie's subconscious world and left without harm, both gaining something, understanding Qing Xie's Martial Arts.
Now, as Li Fei constructs Qing Xie in the Illusion Realm, Shen Zhen can make Qing Xie within the Illusion Realm more realistic.
This is why Li Fei sought help from Shen Zhen.
Though he was already a True Master, his practice and research on the Nightmare Sect's Magic were not extensive. With Shen Zhen, who had similarly ventured into Master Qing Xie's subconscious, helping him, coupled with information provided by True Master Qing Ding, he could confidently restore Qing Xie as realistically as possible in the Illusion Realm.
Before breaking through, Li Fei simulated Qing Xie in the Illusion Realm with the cultivation of four Implants and attempted combat.
Each time resulted in complete defeat.
Qing Xie was a Martial Arts Master of Three Divine Abilities, also the strongest in swordsmanship among the Martial Arts Masters of the Daluo Sect, with Tao Power cultivation reaching the Peak of Mysterious Realm!
His true combat power far surpasses You Ming, whom Li Fei encountered in the Tianshui Tomb, and many Martial Arts Masters of Four Divine Abilities are not Qing Xie's match!
So before the breakthrough, Li Fei could not defeat his opponent in the Illusion Realm.
Now that he accomplished the breakthrough, and achieved Magic and Martial Unity, he planned to challenge Qing Xie again with the realm of Martial Arts Master and True Master.
Though he blocked the full-power strike of a True Monarch on the first day of the month, Li Fei did not henceforth underestimate the heroes of the world.
The key to blocking Qi Ming's strike was the Myriad Blood Pearl's temporary upgrade, restoring all Blood Souls.
This was the same key as when he killed You Ming before, relying on the Myriad Blood Pearl's temporary upgrade.
But now the Myriad Blood Pearl is already at level 41, and going forward, the energy value required for upgrading becomes larger.
Thus, wanting to recreate the scenario of upgrading during combat will be difficult in the future.
Even if all the Blood Souls currently on Li Fei were consumed, the Martial Arts Master's attack could not advance the Myriad Blood Pearl by another level.
In this situation, Li Fei certainly wouldn't arrogantly believe that below the Peak Strong Person, no one could kill him.
However, he did not disparage himself either.
Having just entered the realm of Martial Arts Master and True Realm, he planned to challenge Qing Xie, who is also top-tier among Martial Arts Masters, to gauge his own 'position'.
Moments later, Qing Xie in the Illusion Realm took full shape.
This time, with Shen Zhen's help, Li Fei deliberately adjusted Qing Xie's 'strength' upwards slightly.
Thus, even if the adaptability was less than the original, the combat power displayed by Qing Xie in the Illusion Realm should not be much weaker than the original.
Next, it was Li Fei's turn to set his own 'strength'.
After his breakthrough, [Mixed Element Heavenly Gold] was completed, the Flying Sword Body was enhanced, and his physique was once again greatly strengthened, gaining over 600 more Blood Souls in one go!
[Myriad Blood Pearl
Rank: Level 41 11%
Blood Souls: 3765
Blood Soul Skills: Blood Rage (Extreme), Blood Slaughter (Extreme), Blood Power (Extreme), Blood Spring (Extreme), Blood Breath (Extreme)
Transform Skill: Blood Demon (Strong)]
This is Li Fei's current 'panel'!
When the total number of Blood Souls in the Myriad Blood Pearl exceeded 1500, Li Fei gained an opportunity to enhance a Blood Soul Skill, which he did not rush to use.
Later, when the total number of Blood Souls exceeded 2000, 2500, and 3000, he gained a chance to enhance a Blood Soul Skill each time.
In total, there were 4 enhancement opportunities, and Li Fei enhanced the remaining Blood Soul Skills [Blood Rage], [Blood Slaughter], [Blood Power], [Blood Spring] to the extreme!
When the total number of Blood Souls exceeded 3500, Li Fei did not gain a new enhancement opportunity.
He anticipates needing to wait until the total exceeds 4000 or higher for an opportunity to enhance the transform skill [Blood Demon].
Once [Blood Spring] was enhanced to the extreme, the daily recovery rate increased from 2% to 3%, but the maximum storage limit remained 3000 Blood Souls.
Therefore, Li Fei set his 'blood volume' within the Illusion Realm to 6765 Blood Souls.
All other 'data' is extremely close to his real situation.
After setting everything up, the battle began:
Li Fei did not rush to make a move; his entire body suddenly shone with brilliant golden light.
Unlike the golden light when entering the Sword State, this golden light was less sharp and more noble.
At the same time, a golden symbol appeared on his forehead, resembling a flame with many cloud patterns.
Rumble——
It seemed as if the sound of a giant mountain moving echoed between heaven and earth.
Behind Li Fei, the Gate of Heaven and Earth opened, and a massive stream of Five Elements Primordial Qi surged into his body!
At this moment, he seemed like an Immortal residing in the Immortal Palace, descending into the mortal world through the Gate of Heaven and Earth.
This is the Divine Skill——[Mixed Element Golden Palace]!
With the completion of the Tao Foundation [Mixed Element Heavenly Gold], the Divine Skill manifested on its own.
This was Li Fei's first Divine Skill obtained in martial arts——[Mixed Element Golden Palace].
Once this Divine Skill is used, it forms the 'Mixed Element Heavenly Gold Body', which, though not as absolute in defense as the [Indestructible] Divine Skill, still possesses top-notch defensive power.
In addition, once the Divine Skill is activated, it can rapidly absorb external Five Elements Primordial Qi to sustain, repair the 'Mixed Heavenly Golden Body', and restore his own force.
Once the Tao Foundation is formed, a Martial Arts Master has the ability to absorb Heaven and Earth Qi from the outside, but different Tao Foundations can only absorb the corresponding attribute Heaven and Earth Qi.
For instance, [Mixed Element Heavenly Gold] is a Gold Attribute Tao Foundation, capable of absorbing only Gold Attribute Primordial Qi.
However, once [Mixed Element Golden Palace] is activated, it can absorb Five Elements Primordial Qi simultaneously, and at an extremely fast rate, with a recovery speed over five times the normal rate!
Furthermore, the massive Heaven and Earth Qi can also be used for offense.
Thus, [Mixed Element Golden Palace] is an integrated Divine Skill that combines attack, defense, healing, and recovery!
Once [Mixed Element Golden Palace] was activated, Li Fei stepped forward and rushed towards Qing Xie.
Qing Xie didn't make any movements, but countless Sword Qi were generated out of thin air, forming a curtain of swords between the two.
All these Sword Qi appeared blood-red, carrying an overwhelming aura of blood and murder, as if soaked in a blood pool for a hundred years!
Li Fei charged directly into this curtain of swords, activating Sword State·Unrestricted Heaven and Earth, weaving through the 'gaps' in the countless Sword Qi.
Qing Xie still did not draw his sword; with just a thought, the 'gaps' disappeared, forcing Li Fei to breakthrough forcefully.
In the next instant, Li Fei vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already behind Qing Xie!
No passage appeared in between, no trace was left, and the Sword Qi cast by Qing Xie still existed.
This is the Divine Skill——[No Distance]!
After the Flying Sword Body broke through to Profound Level and Li Fei ascended to True Realm, he gained a Divine Skill as well, which was [No Distance].
This Divine Skill, in other words, can be called Instant Movement!
