Chapter 710: Borrow Your Head

Tu Zaichuan’s mood fluctuated. This was the Blood Spirit of the Mountain Sea Realm. Despite practicing the Bloodline Origin Technique for many years, the strongest he could produce was only a Blood Spirit at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

As for the Mountain Sea Realm, in a one-on-one battle, Tu Zaichuan himself didn’t have much confidence. Moreover, if the opponent couldn’t hold their ground and chose to flee desperately, Tu Zaichuan didn’t have the confidence to stop them.

Furthermore, in the Middle Continent, there were still some friends at the Mountain Sea Realm level. Stirring up trouble would attract attention, and Tu Zaichuan’s reputation was not good, making him susceptible to being besieged.

But now, a severely weakened Mountain Sea Realm cultivator, especially one who had migrated from outside the Middle Continent, wasn’t this the perfect target for refining a Blood Spirit?

Although it was just a fleeting glance that day, Tu Zaichuan could feel that the Mountain and Sea cultivator was not just heavily injured; their spiritual soul was also in great trouble.

In other words, if the opponent couldn’t hold their ground, they wouldn’t even have the opportunity to burn their spiritual soul and flee.

“I really want to kill him, but I’m slightly lacking alone.”

Tu Zaichuan’s gaze flickered. Finding another Mountain and Sea cultivator to help would naturally guarantee success, but in doing so, the benefits would be diluted.

Tu Zaichuan’s expression was full of hesitation. In the end, he decided to seek another person’s help. After all, when facing someone at the Mountain Sea Realm, caution was paramount.

He didn’t care about anything else on that person; he only sought to refine this Mountain and Sea cultivator into a Blood Spirit.

With a Blood Spirit from the Mountain Sea Realm, not only would Tu Zaichuan’s strength skyrocket, but his Bloodline Origin Technique, which had been stagnant for a long time, might also advance further because of it.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

During these few days, Chen Fei and Min Yanlu exchanged insights into their cultivation.

At first, Min Yanlu’s mentality was to help Chen Fei understand. After all, compared to Chen Fei, Min Yanlu had already condensed the second Divine Palace and was even preparing for the third.

Chen Fei was powerful, but he had just broken through, and that was an undeniable fact.

However, as Min Yanlu continued to exchange cultivation insights with Chen Fei, his mentality underwent a complete reversal.

On many cultivation issues in the Mountain Sea Realm, Chen Fei’s insights were not only profound but also unexpectedly deep. Many of the problems were ones that Min Yanlu himself had not considered.

This was not the insight of someone who had just broken through; it was more akin to the experience of a veteran Mountain and Sea cultivator who had been practicing for hundreds of years.

Yet, the reality was that Chen Fei had only broken through less than a month ago.

This extreme sense of disparity momentarily left Min Yanlu at a loss.

In this world, there are many geniuses, and the Middle Continent is overflowing with them. In a sense, Min Yanlu himself is a figure of genius level.

However, even so, Min Yanlu was impressed by the cultivation insights demonstrated by Chen Fei. It was impossible not to admire, because Min Yanlu himself was absolutely incapable of achieving such insight.

In the end, only one phrase could express Min Yanlu’s feelings: “astonishingly brilliant.”

“Longhu City is far from Thousand Geese City, but this item can easily transmit messages.”

Before leaving, Min Yanlu took out a piece of jade and handed it to Chen Fei. It was for mutual communication. If there was anything important, they could also pass messages through it.

“The Enlightenment Tower?”

Chen Fei took the jade piece, feeling the familiar aura above it, his expression subtly changing.

When he had just arrived at the Thousand Feathers Alliance not long ago, Chen Fei had borrowed the Enlightenment Tower to perfect his techniques. He hadn’t expected to see it again today, but compared to before, things had changed drastically.

“Yes, but it’s already broken. Only these jade pieces remain, but they can still serve some purpose,” Min Yanlu said with a hint of melancholy in his expression.

Although Min Yanlu still maintained the cultivation realm of the Mountain and Sea, his strength was at its lowest since breaking through the Mountain Sea Realm.

Although he now had an additional Divine Palace in his body compared to when he first broke through, and his comprehension of techniques was higher than before, he was now at his weakest since the breakthrough.

But both his spiritual soul and lifespan were at their lowest point. Either of these would greatly affect his strength, let alone both together.

Even the two cherished spiritual treasures, nurtured for many years, had lost much of their power.

The Enlightenment Tower, in particular, suffered the most. Besides being cracked due to the siege by numerous Monster Kings back then, more damage was caused by the collapse of the Thousand Feathers Alliance. The backlash from the shattered faith and belief completely shattered the Enlightenment Tower.

This incident had also affected Min Yanlu to a considerable extent.

As for the Heavenly Manifestation Blade, Min Yanlu’s main weapon, it had also been greatly damaged that day when Min Yanlu burned its spiritual origin, causing it to plummet to the level of a mere magic weapon. Combined with the damage sustained in battle, it was practically rendered useless.

“Chief Min, take care!”

After a moment, the disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect escorted Min Yanlu and Gu Danying outside Thousand Geese City. Chen Fei bowed to Min Yanlu.

“No need for further escort. Take care!”

Min Yanlu returned the gesture to the disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect, then, with Gu Danying, soared into the sky and disappeared from view.

Watching Min Yanlu leave, Chen Fei led the disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect back to their residence.

Chen Fei continued his seclusion cultivation. The exchanges with Min Yanlu over the past few days had indeed been fruitful for him.

Furthermore, the jade slip gifted by Min Yanlu, containing the insights into cultivation, was genuinely sincere, with no falsehoods.

Despite having cultivated the Heavenly Profound Sword, a Mountain Sea Realm technique, to a profound level with the help of the interface, Chen Fei’s perspective was still limited to the Heavenly Profound Sword.

The cultivation of the Mountain Sea Realm was extremely profound and couldn’t be fully comprehended by just one martial art. Even if Chen Fei mastered the Heavenly Profound Sword to perfection, he couldn’t possibly grasp everything about the Mountain Sea Realm.

Sometimes, Min Yanlu would express insights from different angles that would enlighten Chen Fei, leaving him with a sense of enlightenment.

This was why many martial artists of the same level were willing to sit down and discuss with each other because there were always aspects that one couldn’t consider alone.

Sometimes, with just a little guidance from others, you could see things clearly and avoid many detours.

While Chen Fei continued his seclusion cultivation, the other members of the Primordial Sword Sect busied themselves with their own tasks.

Since taking over Thousand Geese City, the affairs of the Primordial Sword Sect had become increasingly complex. After the recent incident with the Monster Kings, the workload of the Primordial Sword Sect had suddenly increased significantly.

Despite feeling busy, this sense of busyness somewhat hindered their cultivation.

However, everyone in the Primordial Sword Sect enjoyed it because behind each task, there might be significant resources and benefits.

In the past, acquiring these resources and benefits often required risking one’s life and fighting for them. But now, they were being actively and willingly offered by outsiders. No one would find it troublesome, regardless of who they were.

In the Thousand Geese Mountains, Min Yanlu flew swiftly through the low sky with Gu Danying.

After these few days of calming down, Gu Danying had completely settled his state of mind. At the same time, his desire for the Mountain Sea Realm had become stronger than ever before.

He was only waiting to return to the Longhu City, where he would immediately seclude himself and seize the opportunity to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Min Yanlu noticed the determination in his disciple’s eyes, which gave him some comfort. However, he was unsure whether Gu Danying could take that final step.

Entering the Mountain Sea Realm, even on the Middle Continent, was no easy task.

Foundation, talent, and luck were all indispensable.

Min Yanlu looked ahead, his thoughts swirling.

Although the visit to the Primordial Sword Sect had turned out to be vastly different from what he had expected, it had brought more surprises than anything else.

After all, the stronger Chen Fei became, the higher the possibility of reclaiming the Thousand Feathers Alliance in the future, provided the timing was right.

Now, Min Yanlu only needed to restore his strength alongside Master Haiyue, offer generous rewards, and invite a few helpers before returning to the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

The most important things are Chen Fei’s strength and that Monster King.

As Min Yanlu was lost in thought, suddenly his gaze sharpened, piercing forward.

Without hesitation, Min Yanlu’s figure swiftly changed direction, grabbing Gu Danying and dashing towards another direction.

“Tu Zaichuan, this person doesn’t seem to be as heavily injured as you claimed!”

A voice suddenly erupted, initially faint but quickly resonating in all directions, its immense sound waves stirring the primal energies of heaven and earth. At the same time, beams of light within a radius of several miles lit up in an orderly manner.

All of these were concealed formations, all of which were now activated.

Min Yanlu and Gu Danying glided past the edges of these formations, surprisingly unhindered by any of them.

“If there’s nothing special, why invite you?”

Tu Zaichuan’s figure appeared about a mile ahead of Min Yanlu. Hundreds of Blood Spirits swarmed out from Tu Zaichuan’s body, engulfing the path ahead in the blink of an eye.

A trace of worry flashed in Min Yanlu’s eyes. Instead of forcefully breaking through the Blood Spirits, he chose the impossible and traced an arc, finding another fleeting path.

“Clap! Clap! Clap!”

A tall figure seemingly emerged from the void, clapping his hands mockingly at Min Yanlu.

“If there were only one of you, I’m afraid there might be a chance for you to escape.”

Looking at Min Yanlu from such close proximity, Fei Boyong also slightly sensed something unusual about Min Yanlu’s aura, although it was just a hint and not as clear as Tu Zaichuan’s perception.

“What’s the meaning of this, gentlemen?”

Min Yanlu halted his movement, looking at Fei Boyong and Tu Zaichuan, his voice stern. “We have never met before!”

“Indeed, we have not met before. Today’s purpose is simple. We just need to borrow your heads for a bit!”

Fei Boyong laughed loudly. As his words fell, the surrounding formations merged, forming a large array that completely enveloped the area for several miles.

Tu Zaichuan couldn’t help but smile when he looked at Gu Danying beside Min Yanlu. As a Blood Spirit at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, he was also a good material.

Feeling a chill down his spine when Tu Zaichuan glanced at him, Gu Danying didn’t hesitate. He immediately activated the fragment of the Enlightenment Tower in his hand and sought help from Chen Fei in Thousand Geese City.

Min Yanlu sensed the change in the fragment of the Enlightenment Tower and sighed softly. It was too late.

The distance between here and Thousand Geese City was thousands of miles. Even with the speed of the Mountain Sea Realm, it was impossible to arrive in a short time.

By the time Chen Fei really got here, it would be too late.

Thousand Geese City, the residence of the Primordial Sword Sect.

Chen Fei was in the midst of closing his eyes, circulating his techniques to improve the proficiency of the Heavenly Profound Sword and the innate talent of Domain Suppression. Suddenly, the fragment of the Enlightenment Tower in his sleeve trembled slightly.

Chen Fei’s eyes snapped open, and he looked towards the fragment of the Enlightenment Tower.
