Chapter 724: The Beginnings
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In Xing Xinyang’s mind, he went through everything that had happened in the past few days, and the final scene settled on the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Stone Stele.
Xing Xinyang couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly, finally understanding where his peculiar feeling was coming from.
The disciple claimed to be from the Hairen Peak lineage, but Xing Xinyang did not sense any fluctuations of Hairen Peak’s techniques from him.
At that time, Xing Xinyang’s attention was more focused on the activation of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Stone Stele, especially when he saw the accessories made of mixed-element iron, so he didn’t think much about it.
The Mountain Sea Realm consists of people, not gods, so they cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, and their attention can also be diverted.
Especially Chen Fei’s performance, which made Xing Xinyang develop an affection for his talent, even considering bringing Chen Fei under his wing.
Xing Xinyang’s figure flashed and he appeared directly in front of Zeng Shaoyu.
Zeng Shaoyu was walking on the mountain path, suddenly seeing Xing
Xinyang, instinctively startled, but upon seeing the visitor clearly, Zeng Shaoyu quickly bowed in respect.
“Where is that disciple just now?” Xing Xinyang asked in a deep voice. “He’s in the room at the North Lin Peak,” Zeng Shaoyu replied quickly, his mind filled with doubts, but he still answered promptly.
Xing Xinyang remained silent, grabbing Zeng Shaoyu. In the next moment, the two appeared at North Lin Peak, where Zeng Shaoyu quickly pointed to a room ahead.
Xing Xinyang squinted his eyes because the room below was completely empty
at this moment.
If Xing Xinyang had only harbored a slight suspicion in his mind earlier and had come here more to confirm it, seeing the empty room now confirmed his suspicions in an instant.
Xing Xinyang’s gaze swept around, but there was no lingering aura, not even a trace of a soul’s imprint.
Xing Xinyang’s face darkened. Such sophisticated concealment techniques were beyond even his judgment. He couldn’t determine how the person who had been here just now had left.
If the person had truly flown away, Xing Xinyang would have sensed something
even in his study just now.
But now, arriving here, he discovered the person had long disappeared without
a trace, and he didn’t know how.
“Playing tricks, actually playing tricks on my Saint Yan Sect,how audacious!” Cold words spat out from between Xing Xinyang’s teeth. Thinking back to how he had even considered nurturing talent, it felt like a mockery of his judgment. Xing Xinyang turned to look at Zeng Shaoyu. Under Xing Xinyang’s gaze, a chill swept over Zeng Shaoyu’s body, almost causing his heart to stop beating altogether.
Zeng Shaoyu had originally come to Corpse Cliff Mountain with Xing Xinyang.
It could be said that he was a native of the Saint Yan Sect, almost impossible to betray, let alone betray and then obediently stay here.
A faint light emanated from Xing Xinyang’s eyes, directly penetrating into. Zeng Shaoyu’s soul. After a moment, a ripple emanated from Zeng Shaoyu’s body.
Xing Xinyang’s right hand encircled, intercepting this ripple.
Looking at the ripple in his hand, Xing Xinyang frowned slightly. This seemed like an illusion, but it was different from ordinary illusions, much more deceptive.
As the Dream Entry Technique was broken, Zeng Shaoyu’s gaze became vacant. Then, many memories began to resurface, but unfortunately, memories related to Chen Fei vanished along with the breaking of the Dream Entry Technique.
“You’ll take responsibility for this.”
Xing Xinyang glanced at Zeng Shaoyu and suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Stone Stele in the cave.
Xing Xinyang formed seals with both hands, causing the entire cave, and even the entire mountain peak, to tremble. Countless runes inscribed on the walls of the mountain glowed brightly, filling every corner of the cave.
The disciples in the cave were all stunned, some of them looking at the scene before them in astonishment.
The next moment, where the glow of the runes shone, countless figures began
to appear.
These figures were the imprints left by those who had entered and exited the
cave today.
These imprints are usually imperceptible, but because of the special array and environment within the mountain, they have this magical effect.
Xing Xinyang, utilizing the array, observed all these imprints. Then, one by one, the imprints belonging to disciples of the Saint Yan Sect began to disappear. In just a moment, only some barely perceptible imprints remained in the cave.
These remaining imprints were too faint. Even with the help of the entire array within the mountain, only a trace could barely be preserved, and with the passage of time, these imprints continued to dissipate.
Clearly, someone had deliberately erased these imprints beforehand.
A cold sneer appeared on Xing Xinyang’s face. Forming seals with both hands, these individual, incomplete imprints began to converge.
individually, the imprints were too fragmented to track anyone, but as they merged together, a slightly more complete imprint emerged.
“Swift!”
With a low shout, Xing Xinyang released the imprint from the mountain and flew towards the mountain gate. This was to lock onto the soul from afar. Xing Xinyang stepped back with his right foot, closely following behind the imprint.
impersonating a disciple of the Saint Yan Sect, stealing the method of mastering the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, deserves punishment!
Six hundred miles away, Chen Fei was sitting cross-legged in a cave, examining the complete method of mastering the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. After finishing reviewing the method, Chen Fei’s expression fluctuated slightly. Even though Chen Fei had been looking forward to the effects of mastering the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, he was still surprised when he finally saw what the Suppressing Dragon Elephant could truly achieve.
Before, Chen Fei had speculated whether there would be any special changes to the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point inside the body once the Suppressing Dragon Elephant reached Great Completion.
Now the question was answered. After mastering the Suppressing Dragon Elephant to Great Completion, the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point would disappear.
It didn’t transform into a new Divine Palace; instead, the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point would disperse into every drop of blood within the body, locking the practitioner’s personal information in the Induction Point, or rather, in the blood.
If this could truly be achieved, as long as the practitioner wasn’t annihilated with a single blow, they could be reborn with a drop of blood!
Yes, reborn with a drop of blood, this was simply the beginning of the divine! With the practitioner’s information contained in every drop of blood, as long as the energy was sufficient, they could use this drop of blood to restore themselves.
This was an extremely exaggerated concept. Even the top-tier talents in the
void couldn’t compare to this.
Of course, Chen Fei had only entered the void once. It was difficult to say whether there were talents stronger than top-tier recovery talents at the end of the void.
But the ability of mastering the Suppressing Dragon Elephant alone was enough to categorize this skill as a peerless divine technique. Of course, if one encountered opponents whose realm was vastly superior, they could be annihilated with a single blow, rendering even the strongest recovery ability useless.
Moreover, there was a prerequisite for blood rebirth, which was having sufficient energy. If you were completely defenseless and couldn’t even resist, your enemy wouldn’t give you the opportunity to absorb the qi of heaven and earth to recover.
Therefore, blood rebirth had significant limitations.
But regardless, if Chen Fei truly mastered this ability, his survival ability would leap to a new level.
“Suppressing Dragon Elephant Blood Essence!
To master the Suppressing Dragon Elephant to the point of being able to undergo blood rebirth, there was another crucial prerequisite in the technique: the need for Suppressing Dragon Elephant Blood Essence as a catalyst.
Only then could ultimate success be achieved.
Chen Fei had only heard of creatures like the Dragon Elephant in legendary tales, in official records, not a single mention was made. In this realm, there were no such divine beasts as Dragon Elephants.
Even if there were such divine beasts as Dragon Elephants, they would undoubtedly be excessively powerful, beyond the reach of the Mountain Sea Realm.
In other words, even if someone else obtained the complete method of mastering the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, this final step could still become a stumbling block for them.
But Chen Fei didn’t need to worry. With his simplified technique, he could directly improve his proficiency in the technique using another method. Chen Fei didn’t need any Suppressing Dragon Elephant Blood Essence. He could still master the Suppressing Dragon Elephant to Great Completion; all he needed was time.
As Chen Fei operated the technique of mastering the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, insights into the remaining part of the technique appeared in his mind.
A slight tremor ran through Chen Fei’s blood, and a subtle change spread within him.
And as Chen Fei continued his cultivation, the talent of Domain Suppression within the technique began to emit a faint glow, complementing the technique of mastering the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.
The talent of Domain Suppression originally came from mastering the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. Now that Chen Fei had completed mastering the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, it naturally began to enhance the talent of Domain Suppression in reverse.
“Those geniuses from the holy lands, their cultivation techniques correspond one by one with their talents, forming a complete system. Moreover, with the breakthroughs in the five talents successively, they can cooperate with their techniques. This kind of power…”
Chen Fei, based on his own situation, couldn’t help but think of those holy lands on the Middle Continent. Delving deeper into his thoughts, he pondered what kind of power the cultivators from those holy lands, even without the presence of Sun Moon Realm experts, would possess.
The designation of “holy land” was qualified by the presence of Sun Moon Realm experts. But even without them, the cultivators from those holy lands, especially those in the Mountain Sea Realm, were estimated to be formidable and could likely dominate warriors from other factions.
Even if they were not top-tier forces, they would probably be no exception. This was the power of inheritance.
Chen Fei immersed himself in his cultivation, somewhat forgetting about time. Suddenly, Chen Fei’s brow furrowed slightly. He opened his eyes and looked ahead, where a figure was swiftly approaching.
Abeam of light radiated from Chen Fei’s brow, finally allowing him to discern the newcomer—it was Xing Xinyang from the Saint Yan Sect.
A faint sense of intuition arose in Chen Fei’s mind. Lost in thought, he understood why he had been caught up to.
Even though he had used the Slaughter Spirit Technique to erase his previous aura and imprints, the Slaughter Spirit Technique was ultimately just a technique.
Although miraculous, under certain conditions, it could also be countered. Xing Xinyang was now holding onto Chen Fei’s imprint. Even if Chen Fei shifted away, the other party could still continue to pursue him. Even if Xing Xinyang couldn’t catch up to Chen Fei, there might be more powerful members of the Saint Yan Sect appearing behind him. Sensing Chen Fei’s scrutiny, Xing Xinyang’s eyes suddenly widened. His fierce elemental power swept through the surroundings, shattering Chen Fei’s gaze. “Sneaking into my Saint Yan Sect’s mountain gate, stealing our sect’s supreme techniques, you audacious thief!
Xing Xinyang’s voice thundered as he saw Chen Fei inside the cave.
The admiration Xing Xinyang had for Chen Fei earlier at the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Stone Stele was now replaced by intense hostility.
The premise of admiration was that Chen Fei had to be a disciple of the Saint Yan Sect. If he wasn’t, then only by tearing him apart could Xing Xinyang extinguish the fury burning in his heart!
“The Suppressing Dragon Elephant has appeared in the Corpse Cliff Mountain and is possessed by multiple sects. Since when does it belong exclusively to your Saint Yan Sect?”
Stepping forward with his right foot, Chen Fei appeared in the sky above, facing Xing Xinyang directly.
“And I spent twenty thousand middle-grade elemental stones to learn this technique, which was approved by your Saint Yan Sect beforehand!
“Nonsense! Once I capture you, let’s see what you’ll have to say then! Seeing that Chen Fei didn’t flee in panic, Xing Xinyang narrowed his eyes slightly. A blade of light spanning over a dozen miles slashed towards Chen Fei.
“Bang!”
Chen Fei raised a single hand, holding up the blade of light.
“Crack crack crack!”
With a slight tightening of his right hand, the blade of light emitted a strained sound and shattered the next moment.
Seeing Chen Fei revealing his cultivation in the Mountain Sea Realm, Xing Xinyang showed no surprise. The three Divine Palaces within his body trembled violently, and a majestic momentum soared into the sky.
He was just one step away from entering the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm.
Moreover compared to other cultivators in the Mountain Sea Realm, Xing Xinyang, being from a major sect like the Saint Yan Sect, had already perfected his first talent long ago. Coupled with his technique, it continued to promote the growth of his talent.
How could these petty cultivators in the Mountain Sea Realm compare to him, who had achieved such feats through proper means!
