The crimson pupils blinked slightly, according to the imprint in the bloodline, when sensing the power of the Emperor, it was necessary to provide enough power for the Emperor.

The pupils closed, transforming back into a stubborn stone. The strange fluctuations of power around disappeared, and the cold pool returned to calm.

From beginning to end, no one discovered that such a creature was hidden in this cold pool.

Thousand Geese Mountains, Tingfeng Pavilion of Primordial Sword Sect.

Chen Fei sat cross-legged on the cus.h.i.+on, a peculiar force spreading from the cus.h.i.+on, calming Chen Fei’s mind involuntarily.

The Tranquil Mind Cus.h.i.+on, obtained by Chen Fei in the Mysterious Realm battle of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, had the effect of calming the mind, allowing for better meditation and perception of the Energy of heaven and earth during cultivation.

There were several such cus.h.i.+ons, and Chen Fei kept one for himself, distributing the rest to others in the Primordial Sword Sect.

For Chen Fei, this cus.h.i.+on was almost ineffective now. He did not need the a.s.sistance of this cus.h.i.+on to meditate and perceive the Energy of heaven and earth.

Nevertheless, it was better to have some a.s.sistance than none at all. Having a bit more aid was always beneficial.

Gathering sand to build a tower, collecting arm hair to make a fur coat.

The Qianyuan Sword flew out from its sleeve, and Chen Fei sensed its condition.

Its spiritual essence was completely dormant, but Chen Fei could perceive that the Qianyuan Sword was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

Chen Fei gently stroked the sword body, recalling the scene of forging the Qianyuan Sword years ago.

A piece of Gold Sky Stone, worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, equivalent to over a dozen low-grade elemental stones, served as the main material for the Qianyuan Sword.

Gold Sky Stone, as the main material for a low-grade spiritual weapon, couldn’t be considered exceptional, but it was acceptable, being a relatively common material for low-grade spiritual weapons.

At that time, the successful transformation of the Qianyuan Sword into a low- grade spiritual weapon was largely due to the cultivation of the Sword Essence Technique practiced by Chen Fei.

Subsequently, as Chen Fei progressed, the Qianyuan Sword rose from being a low-grade spiritual weapon to the position of a supreme treasure.

The amount of celestial and earthly treasures consumed in this process was an extremely exaggerated figure.

Few other martial artists did such a thing. Using high-quality spiritual materials directly for forging not only increased the success rate but also enhanced the power. Moreover, the expenditure of resources was significantly less.

After briefly sensing the Qianyuan Sword’s condition and finding no abnormalities, Chen Fei set it aside.

His right hand flipped, and the Soul Heartstone appeared in Chen Fei’s palm.

The Soul Heartstone, nearly impossible to find on the market, was the subject of numerous legends, each with its own bizarre methods of refinement.

For a Combined Aperture Tempering realm peak cultivator to refine a Soul Heartstone of this size, it would require at least a year or more using the power of the Three Flowers, with a considerable amount of energy dissipating in the process.

The issue wasn’t with the refinement method per se, but rather that the divine soul of a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator could only pa.s.sively absorb the energy of the Soul Heartstone.

Only those who had successfully cultivated secret techniques related to the divine soul at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm could slightly stimulate their own divine soul, allowing them to absorb a bit more of the Soul Heartstone’s power.

The most effective method was to seek a.s.sistance from Mountain Sea Realm experts for refinement.

Even with the help of a Mountain Sea Realm expert, considering the limits of absorption for a Combined Aperture Tempering realm divine soul, it would still take at least six months or more.

Even for direct disciples, having a Mountain Sea Realm expert by their side for six months to aid in refinement was a rare occurrence.

Only those extremely powerful sects with numerous Mountain Sea Realm experts could utilize such methods.

The Soul Heartstone slowly floated up from Chen Fei’s palm. Chen Fei gazed at the Soul Heartstone, and a trace of divine soul power surged from the depths of his body, enveloping the Soul Heartstone.

A sensation of coolness spread through Chen Fei’s divine soul, extending to his entire body. His spirit and soul felt as if they were immersed in an icy landscape.

But before this sensation could last a moment, a wave of heat surged within Chen Fei’s divine soul.

The cold dissipated, replaced by the sensation of being in a furnace.

Chen Fei remained motionless, his eyes slightly closed. In this alternating cycle of extreme cold and heat, his divine soul began to slowly strengthen.

Rather than tediously absorbing the Soul Heartstone, Chen Fei activated his elemental energy and began to operate his techniques. Insights from the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering, and Heavenly Profound Sword techniques emerged in his sea of consciousness, and Chen Fei began to absorb them one by one.

Ten days later, Qu Qingsheng arrived at the Tingfeng Pavilion, delivering an invitation from the Thousand Geese City.

A month later was the celebration in Thousand Geese City.

Having stood for over a thousand years, after many years of development, the current strength of Thousand Geese City was considered to be at its peak, with the largest number of Mountain Sea Realm experts.

The four Mountain Sea Realm experts of Thousand Geese City did not belong to the same sect; rather, they were from different sects within the Thousand Geese Mountains. Whenever a sect in the Thousand Geese Mountains produced a Mountain Sea Realm expert, they could settle in Thousand Geese City and share all the resources within a radius of thousands of miles.

These resources naturally included the celestial and earthly treasures offered by various powers in the Thousand Geese Mountains each year.

Once the Mountain Sea Realm expert from a sect fell, they withdrew from Thousand Geese City and returned to the Thousand Geese Mountains to gather strength anew.

This was why there were sects in the Thousand Geese Mountains that had produced Mountain Sea Realm experts in the past.

This rule had been in place since the founding of Thousand Geese City and had persisted until then. Cooperation led to mutual benefit and better preservation, especially in the fiercely compet.i.tive environment of the Middle Continent.

The celebration in Thousand Geese City commemorated its founding. This celebration occurred once every ten years and was the most lively time. Capable individuals from hundreds of miles around would come one after another.

Many people even started their journey months in advance.

The celebration lasted for several days, during which rare celestial and earthly treasures, rarely seen in the market, appeared in the markets of Thousand Geese City. There were also higher-profile auctions.

Most importantly, each of the four Mountain Sea Realm experts of Thousand Geese City would spend three hours explaining their respective martial insights.

This was the most attractive aspect for those martial artists because the Mountain Sea Realm experts’ explanations started from the basics and went deeper. Even martial artists at the Body Tempering realm might gain some insights.

Such opportunities were highly precious even for sects already blessed with Mountain Sea Realm experts, because these experts rarely explained martial arts casually.

They mostly a.s.sisted disciples at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. As for martial artists below the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, opportunities to even see a Mountain Sea Realm expert were few and far between.

“When the time comes, preparing a gift similar to those of other sects will suffice,” Chen Fei said with a smile.

After a while, Qu Qingsheng left, and Chen Fei continued his closed-eye cultivation.

After several days of refinement, the Soul Heartstone had been depleted by more than thirty percent. With another twenty days or so of refinement, Chen Fei would finish the remainder.

The Soul Heartstone truly lived up to its reputation as a treasure for the divine soul of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Just by refining thirty percent of it, Chen Fei felt a significant growth in his divine soul.

Once he fully refined this Soul Heartstone, his total divine soul capacity would increase by over thirty percent.

Chen Fei made use of his divine soul and even the Heavenly Eye to a.s.sist, not wasting even a bit of energy, which led to such remarkable results.

As Chen Fei’s total divine soul capacity increased, he could feel a slight improvement in the speed of his cultivation of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering techniques.

The proficiency of the Heavenly Profound Sword still had a long way to go, so let’s not dwell on that for now.

However, achieving perfection in the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique was within reach. It would probably take a few more months of effort to accomplish. By then, it would also mark Chen Fei’s breakthrough into the Mountain Sea Realm.

A more cautious approach would naturally be to wait until the Heavenly Profound Sword reached perfection. By then, Chen Fei’s divine soul would be stronger, and breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm would be even more certain.

But that would take too long. Without several years, it simply wouldn’t be possible.

Moreover, while reaching perfection with the Heavenly Profound Sword was secure, wouldn’t it be even more secure to find another Mountain Sea Realm technique to integrate into cultivation? Such considerations had no end.

If achieving perfection in the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique didn’t allow Chen Fei to smoothly break through to the Mountain Sea Realm, it was hard to imagine how other peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators would fare.

In the blink of an eye, a month had pa.s.sed, and the celebration in Thousand Geese City was in full swing, with crowds bustling through the streets.

Apart from appearing on the first day in Thousand Geese City, Chen Fei spent the rest of the time continuing his cultivation within the Primordial Sword Sect.

Whether it was the market or the auction, they held little significance for Chen Fei now.

For him, even the rarest items in these places couldn’t aid a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, let alone provide an opportunity to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

On the contrary, it was the ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators who might find some useful items in these places.

Therefore, there were still many disciples from the Primordial Sword Sect heading to Thousand Geese City to experience this grand celebration held once every decade.

On the seventh day, Chen Fei appeared in Thousand Geese City, where the lectures by the four Mountain Sea Realm experts were set to begin.

While he could skip other events, Chen Fei wouldn’t miss the opportunity to hear Mountain Sea Realm experts lecture. On this day, the number of people in Thousand Geese City reached its peak.

As a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, Chen Fei naturally had an exclusive position.

He sat cross-legged, watching the figure emitting a powerful aura ahead.

Like towering mountains, he revered them!

As Chen Fei’s divine soul continued to strengthen, his perception became more acute, allowing him to better sense the power of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Ning Baizheng, who had broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm over two hundred years ago, was the youngest among the four Mountain Sea Realm experts in Thousand Geese City. Therefore, he was the one to commence the lectures on the first day.

As the appointed time arrived, Ning Baizheng opened his eyes, emitting a presence akin to thunder, causing everyone’s hearts to skip a beat. The deeper one’s cultivation, the stronger this feeling became.

“The path of martial artists lies in the heart, starting from the Body Tempering realm…”

Though Ning Baizheng’s voice was not loud, it resounded clearly in the ears of everyone present.

Starting from the Skin Tempering realm, Ning Baizheng began to expound upon his understanding of the martial path.

Chen Fei listened attentively, continuously reflecting on his own martial path.

Ning Baizheng’s martial path might be suitable for himself, but it might not necessarily suit Chen Fei. However, Chen Fei had no intention of blindly following. He came here to hear different martial ideologies.

Three hours pa.s.sed in a leisurely manner. After listening, Chen Fei pondered, especially on Ning Baizheng’s insights into how to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm from the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Although it was briefly touched upon, it still provided Chen Fei with some inspiration.

On the second day, Chen Fei once again appeared in the same spot, this time to listen to another Mountain Sea Realm expert. He listened with the same dedication as before.

The third day was no different. Chen Fei listened attentively while also refining his own understanding of martial arts. His perception of the Mountain Sea Realm became clearer and clearer.

Because he understood, he feared nothing! That was how Chen Fei felt about the Mountain Sea Realm now.

Suddenly, Chen Fei’s brow furrowed.

In the Primordial Sword Sect within the Thousand Geese Mountains, Chen Fei’s figure disappeared with a flicker as he opened his eyes, reappearing in a kitchen.

An old woman was busy in the kitchen. As soon as she turned around, she saw Chen Fei standing there.
