Chapter 2032 Dominating the Present
Chen Fei pondered for a moment, "Senior, what are the specifics? I would like to take a look."
Chen Fei did not hide his curiosity and desire to explore. Even if he would not use it immediately, understanding its principles and costs would be of great benefit to improving his understanding of the Dao and even when facing enemies with similar methods in the future.
Seeing Chen Fei's serious expression, the old man nodded, then stretched out his finger and gently tapped the air in front of him again.
The familiar transparent light screen unfolded once again. This time, instead of displaying spiritual materials, it showed the names and descriptions of three secret techniques.
"Since you want to know, then take a look."
The old man's voice was calm, "However, I must still remind you: know it, but use it with caution."
[Burn the road as a sacrifice to me]
By burning their own "Dao" as a sacrifice, they borrow a trace of destructive power from the "origin of rules" in the dark.
Within one to three breaths, its attack power slightly exceeds the limit of the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation, and it has characteristics such as "breaking the law" and "Dao injury".
Aftereffects: Permanent loss of some of the potential of the Dao foundation and affinity with the Great Dao, a sharp reduction in future cultivation speed, and a high probability of triggering "Dao Heart Demons," resulting in an unstable state of mind.
In severe cases, it may lead to the complete severing of one's spiritual path and rebirth as an ordinary mortal. (Note: This method is dangerous; the source of the power it borrows is unknown and may contain unforeseen risks.)
Blood Soul Reversal Technique
By burning away all essence, soul, and even part of the true spirit imprint, the essence of life is forcibly reversed, and the level of life is temporarily raised to the "pseudo-Taicang" realm in a short period of time (five to ten breaths).
Aftereffects: The soul will be permanently damaged, the true spirit will be obscured, and the cultivation level will permanently drop by one or two realms after the spell ends, which cannot be restored by any fifteenth-grade spiritual material.
[Heaven and Earth Return]
Dissolve the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation that you have forged, and merge it with your physical body, Yuan Power, and Divine Soul into one. Abandon the independence and growth of the Dao Foundation in exchange for an instantaneous ultimate burst.
Power: Within three breaths, it can unleash the power of the critical Tai Cang Realm.
Aftereffects: The Dao Foundation will permanently fall to the Earthly Dao Foundation, and due to the defects caused by the forced fusion of the Dao Foundation with itself, in order to break through to the Tai Cang Realm, it will require three portions of sixteenth-grade low-rank spiritual materials, otherwise it will remain at the current level forever.
The old man explained things in great detail, especially the aftereffects of each secret technique, which he described most clearly.
Chen Fei listened quietly to the old man's explanation, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the three secret techniques.
The "burning of the Dao to sacrifice myself" method has a terrifying cost and an unknown origin, posing too great a hidden danger and should be ruled out first.
The Blood Soul Reversal Technique is not bad, but it unleashes the pseudo-Taicang realm, not its power. There is a difference between realm and power.
Just like when Chen Fei was at the early stage of the fifteenth level, because of the perfection of his cultivation technique, he could be said to have the realm or vision of the peak of the fifteenth level, but Chen Fei certainly could not exert the power of the peak of the fifteenth level.
The phrase "[Heaven and Earth Return]" held Chen Fei's gaze for a long time.
The power of the Three Breaths Critical Realm is real, undeniable power.
“Senior,” Chen Fei raised his head and looked at the old man, “I would like to exchange for the Heavenly Union.”
The old man gave Chen Fei a deep look, then nodded without offering any further advice.
The mark on the back of Chen Fei's hand felt slightly warm as eight source points were deducted. Then, a legacy stone flew to Chen Fei's front.
After putting the inheritance stone into his sleeve, Chen Fei looked at the old man and continued:
"Senior, I have another question. If I cultivate my future true body to the peak of the Dominator Realm, what spiritual materials do I need to exchange for to allow my future true body to cultivate to its limit and complete all the cultivation of the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation?"
Upon hearing this, the old man recalled briefly, "The Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation Technique you exchanged for back then, was it the Heavenly Origin Divine Palace?"
“Exactly.” Chen Fei nodded.
"Ah."
The old man tapped his finger again, and the content on the light screen changed, revealing a new type of spiritual material information.
"If you exchange for another of these spiritual materials, you can completely complete the cultivation of your Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation."
【The First Seed of Time and Light】
Legend has it that a wisp of primordial time, accidentally splashed out from the source of the river of time, condensed into a seed, containing the purest power of the beginning of time.
Exchange requires 300 Source Points.
Three hundred source points!
Even with the 20% discount, 240 Source Points are still needed. After deducting the purchase of the Future Shadow Crystal and the Heavenly Union, Chen Fei only has 171 Source Points left, which is still not enough.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Chen Fei cupped his hands in greeting to the old man. "This junior will take his leave now."
"Take care, young hero," the old man said with a smile.
Chen Fei's figure gradually faded as he left Lin Yuan Pavilion.
The Martial Arts Arena of All Realms, Exchange Area.
Chen Fei's figure solidified again. Without pausing, he directly activated the martial arts arena mark on the back of his hand.
"Buzz!"
Intense spatial fluctuations enveloped him, and the next moment, Chen Fei's figure completely disappeared from this magical land that gathered powerful beings from all heavens and endless resources.
Tianhai City, military camp, Chen Fei's barracks.
The space rippled slightly, and Chen Fei's figure appeared out of thin air. The protective array inside the barracks remained intact, just as it had been when he left.
Chen Fei did not linger in the barracks; the next moment, his figure appeared within the Realm of Return to Nothingness.
Chen Fei sat cross-legged, took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then took out the Future Shadow Crystal.
Looking at the crystal, Chen Fei slowly closed his eyes, and within his body, the Divine Palace Undying began to operate.
"Om..."
As Chen Fei absorbed it, the grayish luster on the surface of the Future Shadow Crystal began to flow, and the fragmented future images inside seemed to come alive, turning into wisps of strange, gray light that were somewhere between reality and illusion. These wisps flowed along Chen Fei's palm and into his body.
These streams of light did not directly enhance Chen Fei's physical strength, but instead followed the undying trajectory of the Divine Palace, flowing directly into the depths of his soul and body.
In an instant, Chen Fei's perception underwent a strange change.
He saw a flowing, illusory river composed of countless fragments of time, a projection of his own countless "futures".
And in the far distance of this long river, near its end, a blurry yet awe-inspiring figure stands silently.
As the power of the future shadow crystal continued to be integrated, the figure at the end of time began to become clearer and more solid!
Countless subtle, time-reflecting patterns of rules spread and intertwine on the surface of the future true body, forging an even more perfect foundation of power for it.
"Rumble..."
In the darkness, it seemed as if thunder was rumbling at the end of the river of time.
That wasn't real thunder, but rather the Dao sound emitted when the future true body broke through the bottleneck and resonated with higher-level spacetime rules!
Chen Fei could clearly sense that the figure's aura was steadily and rapidly increasing!
From the peak of the late-stage Dominator Realm, rapidly approaching that invisible boundary, and then…
"Boom!"
A crisp sound, like the breaking of some kind of shackles, resounded deep within Chen Fei's soul.
The figure at the end of time suddenly underwent a qualitative change in aura, and a more vast and condensed power, capable of bearing more rules, emanated from its body!
The surrounding illusory river of time rippled slightly due to this power, and countless possibilities flickered and died within those flowing fragments of time.
The cultivation of the future true body successfully broke through to the peak of the Dominator Realm!
Only when the last bit of power of the Future Shadow Crystal in his hand was completely absorbed and dissipated into a wisp of gray smoke did Chen Fei slowly stop cultivating.
He carefully sensed that the physical strength of his future true body had stabilized at about 20% of the peak of the Dominator Realm.
Although he was still far from the fifteenth-level limit, it was already a huge leap. Most importantly, he had successfully obtained a clear template for a peak Dominator Realm physique.
Chen Fei's heart stirred, and he began to activate the method of communicating with his future true body within the Divine Palace's Imperishable Form.
"boom!"
In an instant, a vast and boundless power projected from the end of time and instantly poured into Chen Fei's body.
Chen Fei felt his physical strength surge instantly, and every part of his body emitted a joyful buzz. Although it was only a temporary projection, the sense of power it brought was very real.
Moreover, when this physical power from his future true body combines with the Divine Forbidden Heavenly Prison within him, which has already reached the Great Perfection Realm, Chen Fei can withstand an ordinary Earthly Dao Foundation cultivator with just his physical strength.
After sensing it for a moment, Chen Fei had a thought and withdrew the power projection of his future true body.
In an instant, the terrifying sense of power that filled his body receded like a tide, and his physical strength dropped back to the peak of the late stage of the Dominator Realm.
However, the clear perception of that peak Dominator Realm physique has already been imprinted in Chen Fei's soul memory.
"The future physical form is complete, the template is ready..."
Chen Fei closed his eyes again, his mind free of any doubts.
Through his future true body, he had a thorough understanding of the mysteries of the physique at the peak of the Dominator Realm, and he clearly knew how to forcibly break through his current physical bottleneck.
"boom!"
The Divine Palace began to operate at an unprecedented, even insane, speed.
As time went on, the aura emanating from Chen Fei grew stronger and stronger, a sign that his physique was being forcibly elevated and approaching a breakthrough point.
The spiritual energy within the Guixu Realm was drawn in and began to converge towards him frantically, forming a massive vortex of spiritual energy.
"laugh……"
Then, just as Chen Fei's momentum was about to reach its peak, a tearing sound suddenly erupted from Chen Fei's body!
Suddenly, countless deep cracks appeared all over his body, revealing the bone beneath.
Blood brimming with boundless vitality and an indomitable will gushed forth from these cracks like magma, instantly turning him into a blood-soaked figure.
Chen Fei sat upright without moving, his expression unwavering.
The immortal essence and powerful regenerative ability contained within the Divine Palace, along with the absolute control and enhancement of one's own power brought about by the Divine Prison, erupt simultaneously.
A gentle yet domineering power surged from the depths of his body, rapidly repairing the ruptured wounds and nourishing the damaged muscles, bones, and internal organs.
However, the more intense structural transformation and force impact brought about by Chen Fei's forced breakthrough were constantly tearing and destroying his flesh and blood and foundation.
A cycle of confrontation and repair was constantly taking place within and around Chen Fei's body. Under this extreme pressure and repair, his life essence was continuously purified and refined, and his connection with the rules of heaven and earth became even closer.
"Boom!"
After an unknown amount of time, a roar that seemed to come from the deepest part of his body suddenly exploded within Chen Fei's body!
His ever-increasing aura, hampered by his injuries, suddenly surged, breaking through the long-standing, invisible shackles!
Without relying on spiritual materials or rank, but based on his understanding of his future true body, Chen Fei forcibly raised his physique to the peak of the Dominator Realm.
"call…"
Chen Fei exhaled a long breath of turbid air. He was still circulating the Divine Palace Undying Technique to stabilize the realm he had just broken through to.
The hideous wounds on his body had long since disappeared under the influence of the undying true meaning and powerful vitality.
"not enough…"
With a thought, a large number of Xuan Crystals appeared in the surrounding void once again. A total of 129,600 Xuan Crystals flew up at the same time, forming a huge vortex above his head before shattering.
A torrent of pure energy, like the Milky Way pouring down, completely enveloped Chen Fei!
Chen Fei opened his mouth, like a whale sucking in water, frantically absorbing this massive torrent of energy into his body. It was quickly refined by the Divine Palace Undying to replenish and solidify his newly broken-through physical cultivation.
As time passed, and the last wisp of Xuanjing energy was completely refined, Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes.
The instant his eyelids lifted, a deep, dark light, like countless black lights from the darkest depths of the universe, flashed across the depths of his eyes.
This was a strange phenomenon that naturally manifested after his essence, energy, spirit, and soul simultaneously reached the fifteenth level limit and the power of the Divine Forbidden Heavenly Prison was fully activated, resulting in an overwhelming and natural outward manifestation of his power.
But this strange phenomenon only lasted for a moment. The next moment, the magnificent aura that Chen Fei possessed, which was like a vast starry sea, began to recede at an astonishing speed. Within a few breaths, there was no longer any trace of the powerful aura emanating from him.
This state of returning to simplicity represents Chen Fei's absolute control over his own power.
A faint light flew out and hovered quietly in front of Chen Fei. It was the Heavenly Union Inheritance Stone that he had exchanged for from the Martial Arts Arena of the Myriad Realms at the cost of eight Origin Points.
Why would someone exchange for a secret technique with such severe side effects, one that could be considered self-destructive?
The answer is simple: plan ahead and prepare for the worst.
The path of cultivation is never a smooth one, and no one can guarantee that they won't encounter an insurmountable crisis in the future. For example... encountering a true sixteenth-tier Tai Cang Realm expert.
Even with the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation, one would be powerless against such an existence. At that point, would one simply surrender and await death?
The purpose of exchanging for the same fate is to give oneself a glimmer of hope in such an extreme and desperate situation!
As for the daunting aftereffects... with a backup of the panel, it should be possible to restore it to its original state.
With his mind focused, Chen Fei's consciousness probed into the inheritance stone in front of him.
"boom!"
In an instant, a massive torrent of information flooded into his consciousness. It was not just words and images, but also contained an indescribable flow of Daoist principles, the trajectory of the evolution of rules, and a strange feeling as if he had personally experienced the outbreak and decline of "Heavenly Unity".
Two hours later, Chen Fei slowly withdrew his mind from the inheritance stone, a look of amazement on his face.
"I must say, the fact that Tian Tong Gui can unleash power at the critical Tai Cang Realm is truly unparalleled." A thought flashed through Chen Fei's mind.
Through his reading comprehension, he discovered that the core of this secret technique was not simply burning, but an ultimate fusion and unification.
It forcibly merges the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation painstakingly forged by cultivators with their current physical body, Yuan Power, and Divine Soul, sacrificing future possibilities in exchange for the ultimate sublimation of the present.
This fusion represents a deeper understanding of "existence" and "time".
In Chen Fei's view, many of the profound truths contained within these passages likely involve secrets that can only be accessed by those at the true sixteenth-tier Tai Cang Realm. Only by involving power at an even higher level could one explain why such power could be unleashed at the fifteenth tier.
It is precisely because the level is too high that forcibly using it would have such severe side effects on the life essence of a fifteenth-order being. This is a fundamental conflict and damage with the rules.
"simplify!"
"Simplification of Tian Tong Gui in progress...Simplification successful...Tian Tong Gui → Tian Qing Jian!"
The simplified fee is 30,000 Dao Crystals, not Xuan Crystals.
This further confirms Chen Fei's earlier conjecture: the previous simplification of other cultivation techniques, even the Divine Palace Undying, a Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation level technique, was based on Xuan Crystals.
On this particular day, the simplified fee was directly increased to Dao Crystal!
Chen Fei closed his eyes and tried to operate the device.
The surrounding spiritual energy of the Void Realm enveloped his entire body, and he began to cultivate according to the methods of the Heavenly Inclined Sword.
However, a moment later, Chen Fei opened his eyes. The spiritual energy of the Guixu Realm could not assist in cultivating the Heavenly Incline Sword.
He could feel the dense spiritual energy around him approaching his body, trying to stimulate his soul and gain insights, but it encountered an invisible barrier that could not penetrate it at all, let alone trigger the deep changes of the Dao foundation fusion.
Chen Fei had encountered this sense of alienation several times before. The spiritual energy in the Guixu Realm was insufficient, and a higher level of spiritual energy was needed.
Dao Crystal contains a fragment of the rules of the primordial continent, and its energy quality far surpasses that of Xuan Crystal.
Chen Fei closed his eyes again, a thought forming in his mind.
"Crash..."
In an instant, a total of 100,000 Dao Crystals appeared out of thin air in the void around him.
These Dao Crystals are the size of pigeon eggs, crystal clear, with fine, regular patterns flowing inside, radiating a powerful spiritual energy and Dao charm far exceeding that of Xuan Crystals.
The next moment, all 100,000 Dao Crystals shattered simultaneously!
"boom!"
An indescribable surge of spiritual energy and Daoist charm, like an exploding nebula, instantly engulfed and enveloped Chen Fei!
This energy is no longer simple primordial energy, but rather fragments of rules and ripples of Daoist rhyme with various attributes, making it far more active and pure than the natural spiritual energy of the Guixu Realm!
Chen Fei currently possesses a considerable number of Dao Crystals, enough for him to cultivate such a top-tier secret technique.
As Chen Fei activated the Heavenly Sword once more, a vast amount of insights about the return of Heaven appeared in his sea of consciousness, which he then absorbed one by one.
