Chapter 849: The Path of Defying the Heavens

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Dream of a Thousand Years!

Activating the Dream Entry Technique, success or failure was actually a matter of just an instant.

Previously, the descendants of the Emperor’s Ancestor, those with bloodlines of Sixth-Tier or higher, blocked the Dream Entry Technique.

Ye Zhaoyu did not possess such a bloodline. Although his inheritance was extraordinary, his soul and mind were protected by specific techniques.

However, in the state of near-death, a person’s spirit and soul are inevitably at their most vulnerable, allowing the dream power of the Dream Entry Technique to invade, enabling Chen Fei to obtain the information he desired.

Without this, Chen Fei would not have been able to cleanly kill Ye Zhaoyu.

Chen Fei waved his hand, and the essence of Ye Zhaoyu and his Demonic Body flew into his sleeve.

As for spiritual treasures, besides the Metal Tiger, neither Ye Zhaoyu nor his Demonic Body possessed a second spiritual treasure.

It’s not that they couldn’t afford other spiritual treasures, but before separating from his Demonic Body, Ye Zhaoyu secretly set the rule that no spiritual treasures were allowed during their duel.

Six Desires Demonic Separation was extremely perilous, but it also didn’t mean there were no advantages for cultivators.

Just as Ye Zhaoyu had cleverly set rules when he first separated his first Demonic Body, and later with the help of the Metal Tiger, he devoured the first Demonic Body.

However, during the creation of the second Demonic Body, issues arose, causing delays of several months without any results.

Chen Fei put away the Metal Tiger, glanced at the space inside it, and couldn’t help but smile faintly.

Although most of the spiritual wisdom of the Metal Tiger dissipated with Ye Zhaoyu’s death, its foundation remained intact. Selling it as a high-grade spiritual treasure would pose no problem.

Moreover, the internal space of the Metal Tiger still contained many elixirs, spiritual materials, and some high-grade elemental stones.

This time, for Chen Fei, the gains were immense. It was even possible that the foundation for reaching the Sun Moon Realm in the future lay within this harvest.

Gong Lianfen watched as Chen Fei packed up his things, then cautiously approached.

The imposing manner Chen Fei displayed just now was too terrifying. Even Ye Zhaoyu, in the later stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, was not a match for Chen Fei.

Achieving such feats at the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm was simply unbelievable.

“Shall we leave here now and return to the Sacred City?” Gong Lianfen asked in a low voice.

“Yeah, let’s return to the Sacred City.”

Chen Fei nodded, looked at Gong Lianfen, and continued, “Can I trust you?”

Gong Lianfen’s face changed color. In her mind, she couldn’t help but recall what Chen Fei had said earlier: even with her corpse, she could obtain ten thousand high-grade elemental stones.

“Sir, for saving my life, I have no way to repay…”

As Gong Lianfen spoke, her clothes automatically slipped off.

“Ah… wait… hiss…”

With a flick of his fingertip, Chen Fei severed the dream power. He only intended to use the Dream Entry Technique to slightly modify Gong Lianfen’s memories.

Although from the moment he entered this secret realm, there was nothing Chen Fei did that couldn’t bear the light of day, he had a habit of wanting to conceal certain things.

Half a day later, Chen Fei and Gong Lianfen appeared in the Sacred City. Chen Fei received a reward of twenty thousand high-grade elemental stones.

Gong Lianfen was Gong Lianfen, and the mission reward was separate from personal matters. Chen Fei naturally accepted this sum of high-grade elemental stones.

Back at the Tingfeng Pavilion in Thousand Geese City, Chen Fei went straight to the secret chamber and activated the surrounding formations.

First, Chen Fei emptied out everything from within the Metal Tiger. In an instant, various glowing spiritual materials covered the entire secret chamber.

Carefully selecting them, Chen Fei gathered up all the spiritual materials that clearly did not belong to the Boundless Sea.

With two different dimensions, each naturally possesses unique spiritual materials. Selling such items could easily arouse suspicion.

An hour later, Chen Fei neatly arranged the spiritual materials.

Ye Zhaoyu had collected some secret manuals of techniques, but after briefly examining them, Chen Fei set them aside.

It wasn’t that these techniques were inadequate; rather, they didn’t offer much assistance to Chen Fei anymore.

Among all that Ye Zhaoyu had learned, the most valuable was the Six Desires Demonic Separation.

In Chen Fei’s view, this technique was not inferior to the foundational techniques of the Sacred Lands; in fact, in some aspects, it surpassed them by far in terms of lineage and power.

Of course, mastering the Six Desires Demonic Separation successfully would truly overshadow the foundational techniques of the Sacred Lands.

However, failing in its cultivation would leave one worse off than even the top-tier techniques.

After all, whether it was top-tier lineage or the foundational techniques of the Sacred Lands, the worst that could happen was not comprehending them fully, without the risk of death.

But with the Six Desires Demonic Separation, it was either devouring the six great Demonic Bodies to achieve greatness or facing death, swapping out for a new body with your memories intact, walking the world.

Chen Fei spent three hours reading through the Six Desires Demonic Separation, his expression deep in thought.

This technique easily reminded Chen Fei of the Reincarnation Slaughter Technique he had seen in the Evil City before.

Once you laid eyes on that Reincarnation Slaughter Technique, you couldn’t stop, and it would automatically cultivate itself, altering your soul.

The Six Desires Demonic Separation, however, didn’t work like that.

But once you started separating the first Demonic Body, there was no stopping the technique either.

When Chen Fei realized something was wrong with the Reincarnation Slaughter Technique, he could immediately remove it.

But with the Six Desires Demonic Separation, once you separated a Demonic Body, there was no turning back.

If you didn’t cultivate, it was like automatically giving up the fight, and everything you had would be absorbed by the Demonic Body and dissipate.

Chen Fei glanced at the panel, which now recorded information about the Six Desires Demonic Separation.

With each Demonic Body separated, as its strength grew, the proficiency of the Six Desires Demonic Separation would automatically increase.

Once the strength of the Demonic Body reached the same level as the original, the proficiency of the technique would plateau, unable to improve further.

At this point, defeating and devouring the Demonic Body would allow the proficiency to continue increasing, enabling the separation of more Demonic Bodies.

Defeating someone who fully understood him and matched his strength was no easy task.

Success and failure hung by a thread.

Moreover, the struggle between the original and the Demonic Body couldn’t involve the intervention of others.

Because if anyone else had interfered, whether the original or the Demonic Body had been injured, they could directly absorb energy from each other to replenish themselves.

Even borrowing spiritual treasures would have distributed their power between the original and the Demonic Body.

Ye Zhaoyu’s tactic of using his lifebound spiritual treasure to gain an advantage had been a clever approach, but it had failed outright during the second Demonic Body.

“What if, when the Demonic Body’s strength reaches its peak and challenges me, I use the panel to simplify techniques, absorb insights, and directly surpass the bottleneck of the Six Desires Demonic Separation?”

A sudden thought had flashed through Chen Fei’s mind.

Before being devoured, the proficiency of the technique would stagnate, no matter how much one had trained. However, the panel had always been breaking this rule.

As Chen Fei’s cultivation realm had continued to advance, he had increasingly felt that the panel in his soul had been like a Dao fruit, an enlightenment achieved by a great being.

However, this was currently just speculation, with no way to confirm.

But the so-called proficiency bottleneck of the Six Desires Demonic Separation, in Chen Fei’s view, surely wouldn’t pose a challenge to the panel.

Would the proficiency that stagnated then be directly consumed by the Demonic Body?

Or would the power flow uncontrollably back to the original?

After all, according to the Six Desires Demonic Separation, only by devouring the Demonic Body could the proficiency increase. Conversely, if the proficiency increased, it would imply that the Demonic Body couldn’t exist.

“Even if this trick doesn’t work, I can place two killing moves in the spatial grid, and the Demonic Body won’t be able to withstand them,” Chen Fei’s gaze flickered.

With identical strength, mixing in two killing moves would directly upset the balance. And the killing moves in the spatial grid belonged to Chen Fei’s own power, not violating any rules.

It was somewhat similar to Ye Zhaoyu’s clever method, but unlike a lifebound spiritual treasure that might not recognize its master, the killing moves in Chen Fei’s spatial grid didn’t have that issue.

When separating the Demonic Body with the Six Desires Demonic Separation, it wasn’t impossible to lean towards the original.

The original could conceal some things from the Demonic Body. Just as Ye Zhaoyu concealed the nature of his lifebound spiritual treasure, Chen Fei only needed to conceal the existence of the panel.

As for whether there was a panel on the Demonic Body…

None of Chen Fei’s clones or illusions carried the panel; it was unique to him.

If these clones could have the panel, Chen Fei’s current proficiency in practiced techniques would have increased significantly. It would have been more advantageous to specialize in a technique that allowed for multiple clones.

“I can cultivate this Six Desires Demonic Separation!”

Various thoughts flashed through Chen Fei’s mind, solidifying his decision.

Devouring one’s own Demonic Body wouldn’t increase the practitioner’s proficiency in talents but would enhance their own foundation.

You would master all the techniques learned by the Demonic Body.

These aspects weren’t actually important. What truly mattered was directly enhancing one’s vitality, spirit, soul, especially the mind and spirit, and the most fundamental origin, which would drastically expand.

Why did creatures with powerful bloodlines advance so rapidly in everything, including cultivation? It was because their origins were immensely strong.

The Six Desires Demonic Separation aimed to transform one’s ordinary origin into a profound foundation similar to that of other races’ prodigies.

This was an arduous path against the heavens, but if successful, the rewards would be astonishing.

Previously, Chen Fei had believed that the Six Desires Demonic Separation could even surpass the foundational techniques of the Sacred Lands.

This was because once the Six Desires Demonic Separation was successfully cultivated, with its vast origin, crossing into the Sun Moon Realm wasn’t just feasible—it wasn’t overly difficult.

Moreover, such a profound origin, even after reaching the Sun Moon Realm, could still provide powerful combat support to the practitioner and serve as a solid foundation for future cultivation.

Initially, Chen Fei had planned to visit the Mission Hall later and exchange for partial foundational techniques from other Sacred Lands, making it easier to break through into the Sun Moon Realm.

Now, possessing the Six Desires Demonic Separation wasn’t necessarily excessive, but it wasn’t an essential requirement anymore.

Three days later, Chen Fei appeared in the Green Cloud Market with a new appearance, selling a middle-grade spiritual treasure and various spiritual materials.

One month later, Chen Fei changed identities again, selling the refined Metal Tiger after cleansing its marks.

Ultimately, he obtained twenty-seven strands of Myriad Bamboo.

Combined with the original eighteen Myriad Clones, Chen Fei was now only a few strands of Myriad Bamboo away from cultivating his Thunderstorm to Great Completion.
