Chapter 604: Everything Is Destined

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Watching as Huang Yuheng’s aura dissipated, Chen Fei exhaled deeply, and the momentum around him gradually subsided.

He didn’t employ the Dream Entry Technique on Huang Yuheng, as he had already tested it on Chen Daoheng. These top-tier forces had perfected their mental defenses to the extreme.

With the damaged Dream Entry Technique, it was impossible to perceive the techniques imprinted in their minds.

Chen Daoheng was like this, let alone Huang Yuheng.

As the four forbidden techniques dispersed, a sensation of being crushed permeated throughout his body, with flesh and blood constantly rupturing on the surface of his skin, only to be repaired soon after.

Not only the skin, but the interior of his body was the same. It was only the recovery speed bestowed by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant that allowed Chen Fei to unleash the forbidden techniques so wantonly.

A surge of spiritual essence flew out from Huang Yuheng’s body, and Chen Fei took out the Qianyuan Sword, directing the essence into it.

With a swing of his right hand, a sword essence flashed by, reducing Huang Yuheng’s body to ashes, simultaneously eradicating any traces of their presence in the surroundings.

The Qianyuan Sword trembled violently, already on the verge of transformation, but with the addition of this spiritual essence, the speed of its transformation suddenly accelerated.

Traces of the aura of a superior-grade magic weapon emanated from the Qianyuan Sword.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, disappearing from the spot.

A moment later, hundreds of miles away, Chen Fei landed on a desolate island and entered a cave.

Chen Fei looked at Huang Yuheng’s sword, pondered for a moment, and then also took out Chen Daoheng’s sword.

Gripping the Qianyuan Sword in his right hand, Chen Fei tapped it against Chen Daoheng’s sword.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The sound of metal twisting echoed as Chen Daoheng’s sword violently trembled, emitting a faint sword hum.

A continuous stream of spiritual essence surged out from Chen Daoheng’s sword, rushing into the Qianyuan Sword. In just a moment, Chen Daoheng’s sword lost all its spirituality.

The air flowed, and the entire blade of the sword turned into powder.

The Qianyuan Sword continued to tremble, filled with excitement in its spirituality.

With his left hand caressing the sword body of the Qianyuan Sword, Chen Fei then thrust the sword against Huang Yuheng’s sword.

A strand of sword light burst from Huang Yuheng’s sword, attempting to resist the extraction of its own spiritual essence, but this resistance was ultimately futile. In just a moment, a trace of spiritual essence was forcefully drawn out.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Again, the sound of metal twisting resounded. Compared to the mid-grade magic weapon, the spiritual essence contained in Huang Yuheng’s sword, an upper-grade magic sword, was undoubtedly more majestic.

To extract spiritual essence from a superior-grade magic weapon and then inject it into another mid-grade magic weapon, perhaps only Chen Fei in the entire Thousand Feathers Alliance would dare to do such a thing.

But whether it was Chen Daoheng’s sword or Huang Yuheng’s sword, both were clandestine magic treasures. Whether in the black market of Bianhu City or the market square of Sea Dominion City, they would definitely not be accepted.

The reason was simple: both items came from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, one of the top ten forces in the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

If anyone dared to accept them, once news reached the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, regardless of where you obtained these things, your shop, even your backers, would be uprooted.

Unless you were a member of the overall alliance of the Thousand Feathers Alliance. However, those people in the overall alliance of the Thousand Feathers Alliance wouldn’t easily pick a fight with forces like the Fallen Heaven Pavilion for no reason.

It’s not a matter of fear or not, but simply entirely unnecessary.

There’s no entanglement of interests between the two parties, no reason to bear grudges for no apparent gain—it’s simply a futile effort.

Thus, Chen Fei couldn’t sell or use the swords of Chen Daoheng and the other, Huang Yuheng. Since that’s the case, it’s better to let the Qianyuan Sword benefit from it all.

And as the spiritual essence from Huang Yuheng’s sword continued to be infused into the Qianyuan Sword, its blade radiated dazzling brilliance, accelerating its transformation.

Chen Fei took out a scabbard and inserted the Qianyuan Sword into it.

This scabbard was also a magic treasure, mainly used to better nurture the blade.

As the Qianyuan Sword was sheathed, the fluctuations emanating from it gradually subsided, channeling all its power into transformation.

Chen Fei then stowed the Qianyuan Sword into his Qiankun Bag, while also taking out everything from Chen Daoheng and the other’s Qiankun Bags, sorting them out.

Useful items were kept, while those with too conspicuous markings were directly destroyed.

A moment later, Chen Fei crushed both of their Qiankun Bags into powder. With that, all traces of the two were completely erased by Chen Fei.

Even if there were capable individuals in the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, they wouldn’t be able to link the disappearance of the two to Chen Fei.

An hour later, Chen Fei soared into the sky, heading towards the direction of Sea Dominion City.

Halfway there, with the help of the Heavenly Eye, Chen Fei slew an early-stage third-rank Sea monster and retrieved its demon core.

The sea monster was what Chen Fei intended to use to complete his mission and return. As for the Azure Dragon Carp, Chen Fei was no longer willing to expend energy searching for it, and whether he could find it was another matter altogether.

Besides, Chen Fei no longer needed the Aperture Condensing Pill. Possessing a new Celestial Azure Flower far surpassed the effects of the Aperture Condensing Pill.

With Chen Fei’s current cultivation at the early stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, slaying a Sea monster at the early third rank would grant him a month of free time. During this period, he wouldn’t need to undertake other missions.

A few months ago, warriors who killed sea monsters of the same rank could even receive three months of free time. However, with the ongoing intensification of warfare, this time frame has been continuously compressed.

The pressure on all Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators has become increasingly heavy.

After all, killing Sea monsters at the same rank is truly not easy, and getting injured is almost unavoidable. Sometimes, it takes the combined effort of several individuals to surround and kill a Sea monster in order to prevent oneself from being severely injured.

Several hours passed, and Sea Dominion City was already faintly visible. Chen Fei adjusted his aura and appearance and entered Sea Dominion City.

After wandering around Sea Dominion City for a while and restoring his original appearance, Chen Fei arrived at the residence of the Primordial Sword Sect.

When Qu Qingsheng and the others saw Chen Fei’s appearance, they couldn’t help but show joy on their faces.

Although a few days ago Chen Fei’s clone dissipated, they comforted themselves by saying that Chen Fei must have encountered something and recalled his clone.

But that reason was ultimately just for their own consolation, and the actual situation was unknown to anyone. Especially now, with the situation around Sea Dominion City becoming increasingly precarious, news of Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators dying can be heard almost every once in a while.

This place is too dangerous; the Combined Aperture Tempering realm is not without its risks, especially in the early stages.

“I encountered some situations that required the use of my clone,” Chen Fei said, looking at everyone. He noticed that no one was missing, which eased his mind slightly.

Given the current strength of the Primordial Sword Sect, without the assistance of Chen Fei’s clone, even slightly stronger Sea monsters could have caused significant losses to the sect.

Fortunately, that didn’t happen.

“The number of Sea monsters seems to have decreased recently,” Qu Qingsheng said softly, seeing Chen Fei’s expression and understanding what he was worried about. He chuckled lightly.

“Fewer Sea monsters?” Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly, finding this somewhat strange.

However, lacking other information, Chen Fei couldn’t guess the exact reason behind the decrease in attacking Sea monsters.

“These are Thousand Words Elixir, Phoenix Condensing Elixir, and Spirit Fusion Pill. If needed, you can take them to quickly enhance your strength.”

From his Qiankun Bag, Chen Fei took out several bottles of pills obtained from Xiang Qianling and handed them to Qu Qingsheng.

In this chaotic situation, both luck and strength were important for survival.

“Thousand Words Elixir?”

Qu Qingsheng looked at the three types of pills in his hand, his eyes full of surprise upon hearing Chen Fei’s words.

Having been in the Sea Peak City for some time, Qu Qingsheng was not completely ignorant of certain things within the Thousand Feathers Alliance. Though he might not be fully informed, at least he knew some of the publicly available information.

Pills like the Thousand Words Elixir, which are used to break through the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, are extremely well-known within the Thousand Feathers Alliance. Unfortunately, they are exclusive to a few top-tier forces.

For other sects to obtain some, it often depends on luck and connections.

Qu Qingsheng didn’t expect that Chen Fei would come back with so many of these pills after just one trip. With just these few bottles, if used wisely, the Primordial Sword Sect could see a significant increase in cultivators reaching the later stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm in a short time.

Even Qu Qingsheng and the others could greatly shorten their time to reach the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Qu Qingsheng looked up at Chen Fei, feeling a sudden complexity of emotions.

Fortunately, since Chen Fei became a true disciple of the Primordial Sword Sect, the sect had treated him wholeheartedly without any bias.

Also, Chen Fei’s master, Feng Xiupu, had taken great care of him since Chen Fei joined, which led to Chen Fei’s current gratitude towards the Primordial Sword Sect.

Every action has its consequences!

After exchanging a few more words with everyone, Chen Fei left his clone behind and headed towards the direction of the mission hall.

The mission regarding the Azure Dragon Carp was canceled, and in exchange for handing over the demon core of the early-stage third-rank Sea monster, Chen Fei gained a month of free time. Of course, the demon core was purchased by the mission hall at market price, so there was no taking it for free.

The steward of the mission hall didn’t express any surprise about Chen Fei’s failure to complete the mission regarding the Azure Dragon Carp. After all, it was quite normal for ordinary people not to find it, given the mysterious and elusive nature of the Azure Dragon Carp.

Chen Fei then went to the market and bought some spiritual materials before heading towards the direction of the cultivation chamber.

Chen Fei returned to the cultivation chamber and knocked on Tong Linyun’s door.

Tong Linyun’s face lit up with surprise upon seeing Chen Fei. In the entire Sea Dominion City, probably only Tong Linyun and the people of the Primordial Sword Sect knew that Chen Fei had gone out.

Given the current level of danger outside, even cultivators in the later stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm were not completely secure.

Tong Linyun knew about Chen Fei’s formidable strength in the middle stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, but strength was one thing, and accidents were another. Wasn’t the former team leader, Xu Wucheng, still missing?

Although labeled as missing, it was possible that he had already met an untimely end.

Tong Linyun pulled Chen Fei into the cultivation chamber, wanting to discuss some doubts about cultivation.

Chen Fei never admitted to feeling tired in such matters, and since he was about to enter a period of cultivation, discussing doubts about cultivation would be beneficial for both body and mind.

For a full hour, the vitality within the cultivation chamber surged continuously like mountains and rivers, uninterrupted. Accompanied by the sound of flowing mountain springs, it gradually returned to calm.

Tong Linyun collapsed onto the bed, feeling completely drained, while Chen Fei returned to his own cultivation chamber.

Cross-legged, Chen Fei took out the Celestial Azure Flower and the spiritual materials he had just bought.

Preparing the potion for the second time was already a familiar process. In just a moment, Chen Fei had prepared all the spiritual materials..
