Chapter 958: Day by Day
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Go to that room. It’s a hundred merit points per day. Merit points will be deducted when you enter the cultivation room, and they will stop when you leave.”
Yu Dingshan nodded and didn’t ask further.
Each prodigy has their own cultivation schedule. Although they are all in the Rule Integration Realm and have more experience, cultivation is a very personal matter.
What works for one person might not be suitable for another.
Therefore, the usual teachings in the Qiankun Mansion focus more on broad cultivation philosophies that apply to everyone, rather than specific methods.
“Thank you, senior!”
Chen Fei cupped his hands and then walked forward, entering a cultivation room.
The room was very simply furnished, with only a mat inside, nothing else.
Cultivators in the Sun Moon Realm have long since given up eating regularly. They still eat occasionally, mainly to savor different tastes or special spiritual materials that, after cooking, offer unique flavors.
Other than that, few cultivators in the Sun Moon Realm maintain a three-meal-a-day habit.
Chen Fei closed the door of the cultivation room and sat cross-legged on the mat.
In just a moment, Chen Fei felt the difference in this cultivation room.
With a slight adjustment of his techniques, the spiritual essence from the heavens and earth directly filled Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness.
If the spiritual essence in the previous courtyard for late-stage Sun Moon Realm was at a level one, here it was at least level five.
No wonder a hundred merit points a day seemed so worthwhile to Chen Fei. The effectiveness was well worth the cost.
It’s hard to say how much others’ cultivation speed would increase. After all, spiritual essence only aids in enhancing comprehension and doesn’t directly lead to insights into techniques or divine powers.
But Chen Fei had his own insights, and these insights could evolve further from this base, making a significant difference.
For others, it’s moving from zero to one, but for Chen Fei, it’s about turning one into more.
Moreover, with the resonance of the Qiankun Cauldron, before breaking through to the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, Chen Fei’s resonance was the highest among all cultivators in the Sun Moon Realm.
With the Indestructible Vision evolving into a complete divine power, the resonance between Chen Fei and the Qiankun Cauldron, according to the height of the lifting ceremony, had reached five inches.
The Qiankun Technique, which enhances resonance, had already reached perfection after several months of cultivation and was now progressing toward the Great Completion stage.
Given the current level of spiritual essence in this cultivation room, achieving the Great Completion of the Qiankun Technique would only take a few days.
Once the Qiankun Technique reaches Great Completion, Chen Fei’s resonance with the Qiankun Cauldron would likely be locked in at between five and six inches.
Due to Chen Fei’s high base resonance, even the Great Completion Qiankun Technique couldn’t significantly increase the resonance any further.
Chen Fei pushed aside distractions and began to focus on cultivation. Soon, the insights into the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword, the Pillar Mountain, and the Qiankun Technique appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Under the cover of spiritual essence, these three insights evolved into even more profound understandings.
Chen Fei greedily absorbed these insights. His techniques and divine powers began to advance at an astonishing rate.
By the evening of the third day, sooner than Chen Fei had anticipated, the Qiankun Technique reached Great Completion.
The already extreme enhancement from the Qiankun Cauldron surged even more, making the spiritual essence in the cultivation room even richer.
Outside the cultivation room, Yu Dingshan glanced curiously at the direction of the room. The fluctuation in spiritual essence was quite obvious.
Among all the cultivation rooms in the area, Chen Fei was the only one currently using it. Other cultivators in the Sun Moon Realm were reluctant to spend a hundred merit points a day.
Yu Dingshan took a few looks and then withdrew his gaze.
It’s normal for a genius to stir up some commotion during cultivation. Yu Dingshan didn’t intend to investigate further—there was no need and no inclination to do so.
At that moment, most of Yu Dingshan’s attention was focused on the area where the Human Race and the Monster Race intersected outside the Qiankun Mansion.
In fact, most of the cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm had concentrated their attention on that area.
Four days earlier, Dao Yuefeng had been the first to notice something unusual, and recently, news about the area had reached all Human Race cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm.
A shattered space had appeared in that region.
The Return to Nothing Realm, as it was called, was known as such because it was the endpoint of all dimensional spaces.
In the Return to Nothing Realm, other dimensional spaces were occasionally pulled into it.
Dimensional spaces in the void were mostly like the Boundless Sea, where the highest realm one could cultivate was the peak of the Sun Moon Realm. To advance further, one had to enter the Return to Nothing Realm.
However, the void was boundless, with countless dimensional spaces. Some of these spaces evolved to reach the Rule Integration Realm.
These spaces had more stringent and robust rules, but eventually, they were locked by the Return to Nothing Realm and forcibly pulled into it.
Due to their uniqueness, when these spaces merged with the Return to Nothing Realm, they underwent many peculiar changes.
The most noticeable change was that the source of the dimension began to dissipate and condense.
The source of the dimension had a certain chance to help cultivators in the late stage of the sixth rank of the Rule Integration Realm to peer into the final layer, thus reaching the peak of the Sixth Stage Emperor Realm.
Even if it didn’t assist late-stage cultivators, it could still aid those in the sixth-rank Emperor Realm.
Controlling a secondary rule was not the limit for an Emperor Realm cultivator; the difference in the number of rules refined resulted in significant differences in combat power between Emperors.
Besides the source of the dimension, the process of merging with the Return to Nothing Realm also caused the rules of the dimension to become clear and eventually condense into rule crystals.
These rule crystals were also highly sought after by cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm. They could be directly comprehended and even absorbed.
Since the rules were in a solidified state, the mixed rules, although not as distinct as those in the void, were much simpler to understand compared to those.
Cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm were in the process of mastering rules. Such rule crystals allowed them to rapidly advance their realms, making them highly desirable.
In addition to rule crystals, the intense changes caused by collisions also led to the emergence of many rare materials during the process, which absorbed various spiritual essences to grow.
The dimensions being forcibly pulled into the Return to Nothing Realm were those capable of reaching the Rule Integration Realm. These dimensions already had rare materials.
With further transformation, their value skyrocketed.
Although not as valuable as rule crystals, they were still extremely rare.
Naturally, as these rare materials absorbed spiritual essences, the races within these dimensions also absorbed spiritual essences and grew stronger.
During the collision, the immense forces caused severe casualties among the beings within the dimension. However, those who survived became exceptionally powerful.
As for top-grade spirit stones and other resources like the sixth-rank primordial crystals used by cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm, they were not of much concern.
It wasn’t that they were overlooked, but rather, if one actually entered this shattered dimension, their focus would not be on these resources.
The fallen dimension attracted attention not only from the Human Race and the Monster Race but also from all capable races in the vicinity.
At that time, there was no intense fighting in the area because the shattered space was still inaccessible.
The collision of such extreme spaces distorted the rules too much.
Although the sixth-rank space was negligible compared to the Return to Nothing Realm, for nearby races with a maximum strength of only the sixth stage, the distorted rules were sufficient to block all those who attempted to enter.
To truly explore and find the aforementioned treasures, one had to wait for the distortion in the rules to subside somewhat.
According to Dao Yuefeng’s calculations, in about ten days, the distortion in the rules would decrease by one level. At that point, the strongest beings would be able to enter the shattered space.
The lower the cultivation level, the smaller the disturbances caused.
Cultivators in the Sun Moon Realm, who do not control rules, find that their divine powers—though they function like miniature rules—encounter a rebound effect when faced with the distorted rules of the shattered space, making entry impossible.
This is true for Sun Moon Realm cultivators, and even more so for those in the Rule Integration Realm who control some rules.
In ten days, beings at the Mountain Sea Realm could enter. In about twenty days, cultivators in the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm would be able to enter, followed by those in the mid-stage and late stage of the Sun Moon Realm as time went on.
For cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm to enter, it would take at least six months, or even up to a year.
The shattered space was extremely dangerous. The distortion in the rules wasn’t limited to the outer layer of the shattered space; even the interior was twisted and entangled.
Therefore, any situation encountered in the shattered space was possible.
Besides the distorted rules, the surviving beings within the shattered space also posed significant threats.
It could be said that while treasures were likely to be found throughout the shattered space, one could also face fatal dangers immediately upon entry.
Despite the dangers, entry into the shattered space was still necessary.
Securing enough dimensional sources and rule crystals could significantly boost a race’s strength, making it possible to gain several more Emperors.
Worrying about dangers and avoiding entry would only reduce a race’s competitiveness.
The Human Race already had six Emperors stationed outside the shattered space, including Dao Yuefeng.
Additionally, a group of exceptionally powerful Mountain Sea Realm cultivators was also ready to enter the shattered space as soon as the opportunity arose.
Amidst the external turmoil, Chen Fei was fully immersed in his cultivation.
By the thirteenth day in the cultivation room, the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword technique had reached the mastery stage, boosting Chen Fei’s combat power by thirty percent.
On the twenty-fifth day, the divine power seed Pillar Mountain reached perfection.
At this point, if Chen Fei faced off against Kuang Xingfeng, he could easily defeat him, similar to their previous encounter, by simply using thirty percent of his soul power.
On the thirtieth day, Chen Fei regretfully left the cultivation room.
The proficiency of the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword was already more than halfway to perfection, and in another half month, it would likely reach completion.
At the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, no one had been able to comprehend the Emperor Realm legacy to such an extent, let alone the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword, which was even stronger than the Emperor Realm legacy.
But Chen Fei had achieved it.
