Chapter 1875 True Power (4K)
Guided by the profound fortune, Chen Fei traversed the spatial crevices of the Fire Spirit Secret Realm. The fortune, like invisible threads, pierced through the chaotic rules and scorching flames of the secret realm, pointing to an extremely hidden point.
He broke through a nearly transparent spatial barrier, and the scene before him suddenly opened up.
This is a relatively complete space, not large in scale, but quite different from the lava seas or dilapidated ruins commonly found in other parts of the secret realm.
In the center of the space stood hundreds of stone tablets of various shapes, arranged in a mysterious array like silent giants.
The stone tablets were mostly covered with cracks and had been eroded by the years, but surprisingly, the characters engraved on them were still largely legible, unlike other places in the secret realm where the stone tablets with cultivation techniques had long been worn away by the violent power of the rules.
Chen Fei's gaze swept over the forest of stone tablets. This space seemed to be connected to several relatively stable spatial fragments around it, forming a subtle "buffer zone." Perhaps it was this special spatial structure that allowed these stone tablets to be preserved relatively intact over the long years.
Chen Fei slowly walked into the forest of stone tablets, his divine sense spreading out like a tide, covering every stone tablet, and prompts began to appear on the panel:
[New cultivation technique discovered: Burning Star Reverse Meridian Technique (incomplete)]
[New cultivation technique discovered: Nine Nether Soul-Locking Curse (Fragment)]
[New Technique Discovered: Void Transformation Escape (Fragment)]
[New cultivation technique discovered: Profound Origin Tribulation Body (Fragment)]
As Chen Fei looked at the cultivation techniques on the panel and tried to comprehend the methods of cultivation, his expression gradually became strange.
These exercises appear to be well-preserved and logically structured, with some even possessing lofty ideals and ingenious designs. However, many of these exercises are highly "hypothetical" and "experimental."
These are not mature traditions that have been refined through countless trials and verified by numerous cultivators. Rather, they are more like various theoretical concepts and deductive paths proposed by one or more exceptionally talented ancient cultivators when they were exploring the origin of the rules and trying to break through the limits of their realm.
Many of these techniques employ extremely radical, even self-destructive, methods at crucial junctures to forcibly leverage higher-level forces.
"To cultivate the 'Burning Star Reversal Meridian Technique,' one must draw the fiery energy of the star core back into the heart meridian, using extreme pain to unleash potential. The slightest mistake will destroy the heart meridian and ruin the entire foundation..."
"The Nine Nether Soul-Locking Curse uses the soul as a conduit to communicate with the Yin energy of the Nine Netherworlds. Once the curse is completed, its power is unparalleled. However, the caster's soul is also affected by the Yin energy, resulting in either clouded intelligence or, in severe cases, being reduced to a puppet of the Yin energy..."
"The 'Void Transformation Escape' technique pursues ultimate speed, requiring the physical body to partially become ethereal and merge into spatial turbulence. Long-term practice can lead to instability in the physical structure, and even permanent 'etherealization'..."
"The 'Mysterious Origin Tribulation Body' technique draws upon the power of heavenly tribulation to temper the body, claiming to forge an indestructible physique. However, each tempering is like undergoing a tribulation, with a near-death experience. Moreover, the tribulation power remains within the body, forming 'tribulation poison,' which, when it accumulates and erupts, is more potent than any amount of immortal mystic crystals..."
Chen Fei frowned as he looked at these techniques. If one only dabbled in them, one might gain some unique abilities or insights. However, if one were to cultivate them deeply, the side effects would be terrifying, one after another, and they would all directly affect the source. Once the backlash occurred, even an Immortal Realm expert would need to consume a massive amount of Immortal Mystic Crystals to recover, and might even be left with permanent Dao injuries.
The most troublesome thing is that before actually practicing, it is difficult to fully understand the hidden fatal flaws of the technique based solely on its description and conventional perception.
"No wonder it survived... For ordinary immortals, it would be tasteless to eat, a pity to throw away, and they might even avoid it like the plague," Chen Fei thought to himself.
The value of these stone tablets may lie more in the ancient rules, concepts, and reasoning they embody than in the cultivation techniques themselves.
Chen Fei did not underestimate it because of this, and still carefully walked past each stone tablet, making sure the panel recorded all the information completely.
Knowledge itself is neither good nor bad; the key lies in how it is used. These "dangerous" ideas might provide him with some unexpected inspiration or insights.
Unbeknownst to him, Chen Fei had already arrived at the end of the Stone Stele Forest.
The last stele was taller than the others, dark gold in color, and had fewer cracks.
Chen Fei's gaze moved down from the stone tablet, and a figure came into view.
The man was dressed in the distinctive black star-patterned robe of the Zhenyu Palace, his aura heavy and profound, clearly a mid-stage Immortal Realm expert. Sensing Chen Fei's arrival, he slowly turned around, his face cold and stern. Looking at Chen Fei, he raised an eyebrow, already recognizing Chen Fei's identity.
"Illusionary Gate, Chen Fei?" Hong Xingchen's voice carried a hint of condescension, his brows furrowing slightly. "I arrived here first and am currently comprehending a crucial point. You must leave immediately and not disturb my enlightenment."
Zhenyu Palace and Huanhua Sect have a long-standing feud, and when their disciples and elders meet, the atmosphere is often tense. As a mid-stage Immortal Realm elder, Hong Xingchen's tone was naturally domineering and unquestionable when facing a disciple who had only recently broken through to the early stage of the Immortal Realm.
Chen Fei remained calm and did not get angry at the other party's reprimand. He simply said, "Elder Hong, this place is spacious and the stone tablet stands there. Let's each look at our own things and not disturb each other. I will only observe here for a quarter of an hour and then I will leave."
"Humph!"
Hong Xingchen snorted coldly, his face growing even colder. "Don't you understand the rule of first come, first served? I've reached a crucial point in my comprehension. Your presence here, even the flow of your energy, is a disturbance! Misleading someone's enlightenment is a grave offense. Leave immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Hong Xingchen's aura subtly rose, starlight shimmered on his star robe, and his words were undisguised in their threat.
Chen Fei's eyes also turned cold. He didn't want to cause trouble, but the other party was being so aggressive, treating this place as their private property, which was going too far.
"Elder Hong, do you mean you've taken over this place?" Chen Fei's voice remained calm.
"Yes, so what can you do about it?" Hong Xingchen said coldly.
A smile suddenly appeared on Chen Fei's face, and his aura changed.
There was no earth-shattering burst of power, nor any dazzling brilliance. Chen Fei simply took a step forward, his figure as swift as a ghost, seemingly ignoring spatial distance, and instantly appeared in front of Hong Xingchen.
Hong Xingchen narrowed his eyes. He hadn't seen how Chen Fei moved at all, and at the same time, an indescribable sense of crisis instantly seized his mind.
Hong Xingchen subconsciously channeled his immortal power, causing his star robe to radiate starlight, transforming into layers of star curtains that protected him. At the same time, he unleashed a palm strike imbued with immense star power, slamming it into Chen Fei's chest.
Chen Fei slightly raised his eyelids and kicked out.
"Oh!"
A dull thud!
Hong Xingchen felt an indescribable, terrifying force crashing into his protective star screen as if an ancient divine mountain had collapsed.
The star curtain, which was strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a mid-stage Immortal Realm cultivator, shattered like paper! Immediately afterward, the power imprinted itself onto his hastily slapped palm without any obstruction.
"Crack!"
A clear cracking sound rang out!
Hong Xingchen felt an irresistible force surge into his arm, instantly tearing apart his protective energy, and his internal organs seemed to have shifted.
Hong Xingchen was like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing hard into a smaller stone tablet in the distance, causing the tablet to crack and scatter gravel.
"you…"
Hong Xingchen steadied himself, clutching his aching chest, his face filled with disbelief, shock, and bewilderment. He stared intently at Chen Fei, who remained standing in place, his aura merely at the early stage of the Immortal Realm, a tidal wave of emotions surging within him.
How can it be? !
He was in the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm, while Chen Fei had only recently broken through to the early stage of the Immortal Realm. Despite his full-force defense and counterattack, he couldn't even withstand a single move from his opponent.
The power, speed, and mastery of the rules contained in that kick were simply unbelievable!
Chen Fei didn't even glance at Hong Xingchen, who had been kicked away. He turned around, his gaze falling on the last dark gold stone tablet, and probed it with his divine sense.
Hong Xingchen watched Chen Fei's retreating figure, his eyes flashing. He didn't utter any harsh words or launch a sneak attack. Instead, he turned around and disappeared in a rainbow of light.
Hong Xingchen was only slightly injured by that attack, but he knew that Chen Fei had held back.
If someone gives you face, you can't be ungrateful. Otherwise, even if you're both cultivators, what can he do if Chen Fei kills him here?
After Hong Xingchen left, Chen Fei continuously scanned the stone tablet with his divine sense. As time passed, a new prompt finally appeared on the panel.
[New cultivation technique discovered: Returning to the Void and Sharing in the Dust Seal (Fragment)]
As soon as the panel notification appeared, Chen Fei immediately focused his attention on the cultivation technique. After a moment, Chen Fei seemed to be deep in thought.
This seal is neither offensive nor defensive; its core meaning lies in "returning to the void and becoming like dust," aiming to minimize one's own presence and even simulate the state of "returning to the void and becoming silent" and "dust without hindrance," thereby avoiding the attention and lock-on of the rules of heaven and earth.
“It goes a step further than the Heavenly Dao’s False Form… it focuses more on ‘assimilation’ rather than ‘simulation’…” Chen Fei’s eyes flashed. This technique was exactly what he needed right now!
"Fusion!"
[New cultivation method discovered: Nirvana and Return to Dust Method]
The Nirvana Return to Dust Method takes the "Return to the Ruins and Dust Seal" as its core, integrating the scattered concepts of "avoidance," "concealment," and "assimilation" from all the previous stone tablet techniques, as well as the previous Heavenly Dao False Form, to form a top-level secret technique specifically used to eliminate one's own "existence imprint," especially the malicious imprint of the Heavenly Dao.
Its effect is naturally far superior to the previous Heavenly Dao False Form!
Chen Fei sensed the profoundness of this new cultivation technique, and his eyes revealed joy. He turned around and entered the Void Realm, where he sat down cross-legged.
"simplify!"
"The method of returning to dust and annihilation is being simplified... Simplification successful... The method of returning to dust and annihilation → Heavenly Dao False Form!"
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth enveloped the surroundings, and at the same time, the Time Pavilion descended. Just as Chen Fei was about to activate the Heavenly Dao Illusion, his eyes suddenly opened.
An extremely powerful, tyrannical, and greedy demonic aura, like a dam-breaking torrent, crashed down upon this stone tablet space.
This aura was so strong that it reached the peak of the late stage of the Immortal Realm, even surpassing Li Taichang whom they had encountered before. It was already one foot on the threshold of the peak of the Immortal Realm.
A figure slowly emerged in the sky.
Its figure was tall, its face shrouded in swirling black demonic energy, with only a pair of scarlet demonic eyes piercing through the demonic mist, sweeping across the entire space before landing on the area where the Guixu Realm was located.
Inside the Void Realm, Chen Fei frowned slightly, stepped out of the Void Realm, and then pointed his fingers like a sword, making a sudden slash in the void beside him.
"Hey!"
A deep spatial rift appeared instantly, behind which twisted and rolled waves of magma and fire. Chen Fei's figure flickered, and he directly entered it.
Having obtained the method to eliminate the malice of Heaven, Chen Fei naturally focused on cultivation.
A powerful aura brings Chen Fei good fortune, but the cruel hand of fate also puts his life in constant danger. Chen Fei is currently in a strange state of being both lucky and unlucky.
These late-stage Immortal Realm peak Heavenly Demons may have been drawn here by the invisible Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm.
"Trying to escape? Do you think you can escape from me?"
Tianmo Shi Qingmo sneered, his laughter filled with disdain. His figure suddenly transformed into a viscous, ink-like demonic shadow, and he forced his way into the healing crack by following the traces left by Chen Fei's spatial rupture.
"boom!"
As soon as Chen Fei stood firm in the new space, the space behind him trembled violently, and Shi Qingmo's tall demonic shadow broke through the air, locking onto him once again like a shadow.
"Young prodigy, you have great talent, but unfortunately, there's no time left for you to grow!"
Shi Qingmo looked at Chen Fei with a leisurely air, his scarlet demonic eyes full of a cat-and-mouse-like playfulness. He recognized Chen Fei's identity the moment he saw him.
He single-handedly pierced through the Xuan Ranking with his sword, how impressive! But alas, he is now about to die at his hands.
Chen Fei frowned slightly. He sensed that Shi Qingmo's speed and agility were even stronger than his own at full power.
If they keep running away, they will probably be caught up again in this secret realm soon. Not only will they not save time, but they will also attract other unexpected situations.
Thinking of this, Chen Fei slowly turned around and calmly looked at Shi Qingmo's imposing figure.
"Not planning to run away?" Seeing Chen Fei's posture, Shi Qingmo laughed loudly, his voice full of sarcasm.
Chen Fei remained silent as two figures, whose auras were identical to his own, silently appeared on his left and right sides.
On the left, the past self, with an ethereal aura, carrying ripples of time.
On the right, the Night Demon Warrior exuded a deep and dignified aura, his fighting spirit boiling intensely.
The three stood side by side, and the Yuan energy emanating from their bodies had all reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm!
Shi Qingmo's previously mocking smile froze. His scarlet demonic eyes scanned Chen Fei, as well as Chen Fei's past self and his clone.
It's perfectly normal for Chen Fei to possess a remnant of time from the Void Secret Treasury, a past incarnation.
It's understandable that he would secretly cultivate an avatar, relying on the Illusion Gate for support.
But at this moment, Chen Fei's main body and his clone have both cultivated to the peak of the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm.
After a brief silence, Shi Qingmo burst into an even more maniacal laugh, filled with absurdity and disdain:
"Hahaha! Three mid-stage Immortal Realm cultivators? Brilliant! Today, I will show you that in the face of true power, quantity is meaningless!"
A monstrous burst of demonic energy erupted from Shi Qingmo's body, like a dark, world-destroying wave that instantly engulfed the entire space.
