Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 814: Breakthrough, Fifth Divine Palace

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Honestly, how fast was this speed?

Very fast!

At least for those in the Mountain Sea Realm who relied solely on their own talents for insight, this was already a god-like improvement.

Just like the Dream Shadow Master back then, with over a thousand manifestations, if he cultivated a top-notch technique of a Sacred Land, it might have only taken him a few years to complete his cultivation.

It was like having a weakened panel.

Of course, there were many errors in the insight, so it should have been possible to reach the Perfection stage, but definitely unable to reach the Great Completion stage.

But so what? The top-notch techniques of the Great Completion stage were already very fierce, surpassing more than ninety percent of the Mountain Sea Realms in the Boundless Sea.

The drawback was that the techniques cultivated by Myriad Clones could not be used to attempt a breakthrough into the Sun Moon Realm.

But if used only for battle, with several more such top-notch techniques, who in the Mountain Sea Realm could have defeated the Dream Shadow Master? It was simply an invincible existence in the Mountain Sea Realm.

Such an existence, back then on the Middle Continent, people believed that the Dream Shadow Master could certainly break through to the Sun Moon Realm, which was a very normal speculation.

If Chen Fei had over a thousand Myriad Clones, the time needed to cultivate a single technique could be halved.

Of course, because each Myriad Clone could only cultivate one technique at a time, there was still quite a gap compared to Chen Fei’s main body simultaneously cultivating three techniques.

But this was because the panel was too abnormal, not because the Myriad Clones were inadequate.

“In the future, continuing to spend so much money to enhance this kind of cultivation speed, it’s not that it’s not cost-effective, but it’s still too slow!”

With over a thousand Myriad Clones, Chen Fei now felt it was somewhat slow. Now with just fifty Myriad Clones, Chen Fei was naturally even more dissatisfied.

“It seems that I can only use the second method.”

In Chen Fei’s palm, what was originally a calm Myriad Clone suddenly trembled slightly, a destructive force circulating within the Myriad Clone.

The Myriad Clones blessed by the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique not only could comprehend techniques normally, but also had a more extreme method of cultivation.

At the cost of destroying Myriad Clones, these manifestations could erupt with a vast comprehension of techniques in a short time.

Under conditions of extreme despair, people can unleash powers far stronger than normal.

The divine soul fragments within the Myriad Clones lacked wisdom but possessed the ability to comprehend techniques, making them inherently simple, like blank slates.

However, being divine soul fragments, they instinctively resist and struggle against destruction.

Yet, the only thing Myriad Clones could do was to comprehend techniques, so their way of resistance was to burn themselves to comprehend techniques.

In the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, gaining insight in this manner was akin to killing the chicken to get the egg.

The Dream Shadow Master had only attempted this a few times in the past and had abandoned the practice.

Because in the long run, this method was fundamentally not cost-effective and incurred heavy losses. Each time this method was used, a Myriad Clone was destroyed.

These Myriad Clones were valuable assets; even though the Dream Shadow Master was wealthy back then, he couldn’t afford such expenditure, especially since it became difficult to acquire more Myriad Bamboo after he bought a large batch.

If Chen Fei had a choice, he wouldn’t want to resort to such methods. But in today’s world, he couldn’t afford to continue his slow-paced cultivation. He had to use this extreme approach.

The Myriad Clone in Chen Fei’s palm trembled more and more noticeably, eventually erupting into a dazzling radiance, and then disappearing completely.

Like fireworks, it burst forth and vanished in an instant.

In Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, a new comprehension about the Adamantine Body talent suddenly appeared.

Chen Fei absorbed it, and after a moment, he looked at the information about the Adamantine Body talent on the panel, his expression subtly changing.

Destroying one Myriad Clone had yielded a substantial amount of insight, much more than Chen Fei had expected.

It equaled the amount of insight Chen Fei would normally gain in over twenty days of non-stop contemplation on the Adamantine Body talent.

Chen Fei couldn’t help but look at the Myriad Bamboo at his feet. In other words, refining all these Myriad Bamboos into Myriad Clones, and then destructively absorbing their insights.

Now, even with just the adept realm of the Adamantine Body talent, Chen Fei could directly advance to the Great Completion stage, saving several years of time.

Each Myriad Clone, facing destruction, would surely yield varying amounts of comprehension of techniques, with more errors likely under such urgent circumstances.

But Chen Fei had the panel; he could correct the errors himself.

Was it worth spending so many high-grade elemental stones to save several years of cultivation time?

Absolutely!

The stronger his strength, the more opportunities he would have to obtain high-grade elemental stones, allowing Chen Fei to cultivate even faster.

With the Black Divine awakening and the uncertain situation across the Boundless Sea, spending more money to enhance strength seemed to Chen Fei a relatively straightforward approach.

As Chen Fei sensed his divine soul’s condition, the effect of the Redwood Fruit was dominant, especially for his minor initial divine soul injuries, which were hardly a concern.

Thus, at this moment, the Redwood Fruit still retained most of its medicinal power. Chen Fei only needed to rest for a while after each separation of his divine soul to allow the Redwood Fruit to restore his divine soul.

Back then in the Mission Hall, Chen Fei had exchanged a total of seven Redwood Fruits, thinking it was completely sufficient.

Now, looking at the need to refine the remaining Myriad Bamboo into Myriad Clones, these Redwood Fruits were barely enough.

As time passed, Chen Fei’s speed in refining Myriad Clones gradually accelerated, and the Redwood Fruits were consumed one by one.

The Myriad Clones at Chen Fei’s feet grew increasingly numerous. Instead of immediately destroying each one after refining, Chen Fei allowed them to first comprehend the Adamantine Body talent.

Once all were refined, he would destroy them together. This way, before their destruction, the Myriad Clones could still provide a wave of insights into the Adamantine Body talent.

Exploiting oneself and squeezing out every last drop of value — capitalists would be afraid to see this.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Thousand Geese City remained calm, but within the entire Sacred City, there was a tumultuous month.

Following the attack on Jade Spring Valley, other parts of the Sacred City also began to experience attacks on various factions.

There was even one sect of similar strength to Thousand Geese City that was completely annihilated before the officials of the Sacred City could intervene.

Two mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivators and five early-stage cultivators died directly, along with numerous practitioners below Mountain Sea Realm within the sects, leaving none alive.

This incident shocked the entire Sacred City and thoroughly enraged several Sun Moon Realm powerhouses.

Several days after the sect was annihilated, three Mountain Sea Realm cultivators were captured by the Sacred Land consecutively.

All three of these cultivators had pledged allegiance to the Black Divine. Although they were not from the same group as those who destroyed the sect, their actions still intimidated the Black Divine supporters within the Sacred City.

Aware that they had no chance of survival, these three Black Divine loyalists directly triggered the Black Divine insignia, silently shattering their divine souls.

While Sun Moon Realm cultivators could suppress the vitality and divine souls of Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, preventing them from deciding their own fates, the Black Divine undoubtedly had superior methods in certain applications of power.

Black Divine loyalists had means to bypass the Sun Moon Realm’s barriers, allowing their divine souls to be destroyed directly.

The Sacred City did not uncover more Black Divine loyalists; they were too covert. Sometimes, even face-to-face, the issues with these Mountain Sea Realm cultivators went unnoticed.

However, the deaths of these three Black Divine loyalists did intimidate others. In the subsequent dozen days, the Sacred City remained relatively calm, with no continuous attacks as before.

In the secret chamber of the Tingfeng Pavilion in Thousand Geese City City, Chen Fei looked at the forty-nine Myriad Clones on the ground, a faint smile on his face.

After absorbing the insights from the Myriad Clones, Chen Fei glanced at them again, his smile fading. Next, these forty-nine Myriad Clones were about to turn into fireworks.

Considering that these manifestations were almost his entire fortune, there was a moment of hesitation for Chen Fei. After all, it was a considerable amount of money!

“Hum!”

The first Myriad Clone trembled slightly, sending out ripples as the aura of destruction surged from within.

In less than fifteen minutes, this Myriad Clone trembled to its limit and then transformed into a ball of light.

A substantial amount of insights appeared in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, all related to the Adamantine Body talent.

Chen Fei diligently absorbed them, and at the same time, the proficiency of the Adamantine Body talent on the panel soared at an astonishing rate, while the second Myriad Clone began to tremble.

As night fell, the once neatly arranged forty-nine Myriad Clones within the secret chamber had all disappeared.

Chen Fei sat in meditation with closed eyes. On the panel, the proficiency of the Adamantine Body talent had crossed from Mastery stage to Perfection stage, leaving just a bit more to achieve Great Completion.

At this moment, Chen Fei’s manifestations continuously used elemental energy to strike his main body, correcting the errors in the Adamantine Body talent.

An hour later, the proficiency of the Adamantine Body talent began to rise, indicating that all previous errors had been corrected, allowing the proficiency to continue increasing.

The next morning, as the faint light of dawn spread over Thousand Geese City, within the secret chamber of the Tingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fei’s fourth Divine Palace burst forth in dazzling brilliance, achieving complete mastery in the Adamantine Body talent.

A layer of golden light descended from above Chen Fei’s head, flowing down and disappearing at his feet.

Both offense and defense were enhanced by forty percent from their current levels, directly boosting Chen Fei’s strength.

With a gesture of his right hand, a bottle of Dragon Breath Pill flew out from the Qianyuan Sword, and over a dozen pills inside it flew into Chen Fei’s mouth.

The Dragon Breath Pill was capable of quickly forging a mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm Divine Palace. Besides exchanging techniques at the Ethereal Lake, it was one of Chen Fei’s main focuses in pill exchanges.

As the Dragon Breath Pill was consumed, under the operation of the Purple Sky Stellar Technique, the fifth Divine Palace within Chen Fei’s body swiftly rose from the ground.

One hour passed, then two, then three. The vigorous medicinal power of the Dragon Breath Pill was completely absorbed by Chen Fei, and the fifth Divine Palace was finally fully forged.

Chen Fei’s body trembled slightly, and the divine soul deep within his physical form immediately soared. The divine souls within the other four Divine Palaces, each carrying their own talents, closely followed the main soul.

A barrier appeared within Chen Fei’s perception. The Adamantine Body talent burst forth with a radiant light, silently cracking open a fissure in the void barrier. Chen Fei’s divine soul rushed through the gap.

Chen Fei’s vision went black momentarily. When he opened his eyes again, all around him twinkled with countless stars.
