Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques - Chapter 1198

Chapter 1198: Chapter 1154: Arrogantly Ignorant

Extracting spiritual essence and utilizing the Bronze Rune and God Devouring, Chen Fei’s innate talents and physique once again increased slightly, especially his talents. At the Open Heaven Realm Middle Stage, his talents could significantly boost his insight.

Of course, there were also the memory fragments from Nan Longtu’s fragmented soul, allowing Chen Fei to gain a deeper understanding of the Heart Deceit Bureau, a somewhat special dark organization.

The Heart Deceit Bureau was an extremely powerful force that, according to the memories of Nan Longtu and Xie Changxuan, extended its influence far beyond the Xuanling Domain, possessing branches in other regions of the Return to Nothing Realm.

Unlike ordinary sects, the Heart Deceit Bureau functioned more like a platform for issuing and accepting missions. It did not care about the life or death of its assassins.

It wasn’t the case that killing a Heart Deceit Bureau assassin would prompt the Bureau to dispatch others in relentless retribution.

Any cultivator above the Rule Integration Realm could become an assassin for the Heart Deceit Bureau, complete missions for rewards, and, after accumulating enough, even exchange for precious treasures, martial arts, and weapons from the Bureau.

Because it simply operated as a platform and was backed by a sufficiently powerful background, ever since its establishment, the Heart Deceit Bureau was thriving and had become increasingly formidable and unshakeable.

“What a great place!”

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered slightly. What he lacked the most now wasn’t this mid-grade Primordial Crystals and various cultivation techniques?

In the Xuanling Domain, nearly all the top-grade martial arts of the seventh-tier and above were held by the various Eighth Tier Races.

Within the Seventh Rank Races, possession of a complete seventh-tier top-grade cultivation techniques would typically be the limit. Rarely did one encounter ultimate-grade techniques of the seventh tier.

Like the previously encountered Wu Meng Clan, their overall strength was considered decent, but the Raging Wave Sky Kill they inherited was merely a mid-grade technique of the seventh tier.

The Xuan Clan was similar; the complete inheritance within their clan was also a mid-grade martial art of the seventh tier.

.Co

Both Nan Longtu and Xie Changxuan had been assassins for the Heart Deceit Bureau for many years and exchanged for top-grade martial arts of the seventh tier, as well as numerous other precious treasures.

Both being in the Open Heaven Realm Middle Stage, the gap between Li Song of the Xuan Clan and Nan Longtu had begun to show.

Of course, to attain high rewards in a place like the Heart Deceit Bureau, one has to take on high risks.

Your head shouldn’t be carried on your belt; should a mission be mishandled, the outcome would be death and complete obliteration, just like the current fate of Nan Longtu and Xie Changxuan.

Whereas Li Song of the Xuan Clan, relying on the power of his entire Race’s generational inheritance, cultivated more slowly but safely and steadily, focusing on long-lasting heritage.

Each path had its advantages and disadvantages–it was a matter of personal choice.

Now, the Human Clan in the Xuanling Domain also had their own territory and a foundation for orderly inheritance.

But for Chen Fei, accustomed to rapid cultivation and growth, to cultivate slowly like other cultivators felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, unlike Li Song and others who were Open Heaven Realm cultivators, those in the Open Heaven Realm Middle Stage longed to break through to the Open Heaven Realm Late Stage or even the Peak of Open Heaven Realm, but they knew how difficult this was.

Without special opportunities, it was likely a hopeless endeavor.

Chen Fei was different. With the aid of his panel, Chen Fei knew he could definitely break through; it was only a matter of time.

If the martial arts were of a higher grade, the Eighth Rank would not pose an obstacle for Chen Fei.

The perspectives on the future between them bore a severe discrepancy and could not be entirely equated.

Chen Fei’s right hand flipped, and half of the Heavenly Escape Talisman appeared in his hand.

The chaotic power within the talisman had settled, but as only half remained, the power was less than thirty percent of its original. Yet even so, the value of this Heavenly Escape Talisman remained immense.

If Chen Fei wished to sell this talisman, he could quite easily fetch around a hundred thousand mid-grade Primordial Crystals.

Nan Longtu encountered Chen Fei, causing the Heavenly Escape Talisman to become ineffective. It was not common for someone in the Open Heaven Realm to meet an opponent who not only mastered the Space Rules but was also adept at the Causality Rule.

Chen Fei pocketed Nan Longtu’s Open Heaven Profound Treasure and turned his head to the south, where more than a thousand miles away, Lv Fan was frantically fleeing for his life.

From the moment Chen Fei’s sword shattered Xie Changxuan, Lv Fan began his terrified escape.

Just as Nan Longtu and the others couldn’t fathom Chen Fei’s battle strength, Lv Fan was even more baffled. How had the mere Rule Integration Realm human become so formidably strong in just a few short years?

Since following Liao Xia to the Xuanling Domain, Lv Fan’s horizons had broadened, for Open Heaven Realm practitioners were not as ubiquitous as in the Black Stone Domain, but there were indeed many more present.

At Liao Xia’s side, there were also quite a few Open Heaven Realm Early Stage followers.

Lv Fan believed he had gained considerable understanding of the Open Heaven Realm but seeing Chen Fei’s performance today made him realize that the Open Heaven Realm Early Stage could be so powerfully incomprehensible.

At this very moment, Lv Fan’s heart was filled with immense regret. He regretted not the mission to obliterate a member of the human race, but his decision to follow along.

He thought a human, at most in the Sixth-Tier Realm, would be an easy target for any Open Heaven Realm practitioner from the Heart Deceit Bureau to annihilate, and he could enjoy the human’s agonized expression as they were slain.

But instead, a human of the Open Heaven Realm emerged, one who defied all norms. Who could have predicted that?

Praying desperately that Nan Longtu could withstand a little longer, Lv Fan suddenly felt a faint resonance of the rules, causing his face to turn pale.

“`

This is the fall of an Open Heaven Realm cultivator, the subtle fluctuations of the Rules.

How could Nan Longtu die so quickly!

Lv Fan’s heart grew increasingly terrified. He didn’t want to die. The Evil Clans of the Black Stone Domain were already annihilated, and he was perhaps the only remaining cultivator of status among the Evil Clans.

If he also died, then the Evil Clans would cease to exist entirely in the Return to Nothing Realm.

Even if there were still members of the Evil Clans in the lower realms, those who ascended and were only in the Sun Moon Realm would hardly survive in the Return to Nothing Realm.

In the end, they would become vassal tribes to other races, never to rise again!

Lv Fan continuously urged the power within his body, trying to fly faster, but soon realized that this choice was wrong.

How could the Rule Integration Realm compete with the Open Heaven Realm in terms of speed?

Hesitating for a moment, Lv Fan looked down at a huge lake below and plunged into it.

Within the vast lake, filled with many demonic beasts yet to awaken their intelligence, Lv Fan found a huge Chi Bone Fish and burrowed directly into its mouth, hiding within its belly.

Lv Fan concealed every trace of his presence, even his soul’s fluctuations sank into silence, assuming a state akin to fetal breathing.

The strong presence of the Chi Bone Fish shrouded Lv Fan, making his own aura even more obscure and undetectable.

Over the lake, Chen Fei’s figure appeared, looking downward, and then he immediately detected Lv Fan’s aura.

If it had been another cultivator in the early stages of the Open Heaven Realm, Lv Fan’s concealment might have had some chance of deceiving them.

But Chen Fei, who controlled the Space Rules, could see through all traces. How could he be deceived by such tactics?

As Chen Fei’s thoughts arose, the form of the Chi Bone Fish below suddenly stiffened. Then, its mouth opened involuntarily, and Lv Fan’s form was forcibly dragged out.

Lv Fan felt a tremendous force envelop him and opened his eyes sharply, only to see himself being lifted out of the water and brought before Chen Fei.

Lv Fan’s complexion turned deathly pale; all his previous actions had been futile, and he hadn’t fooled Chen Fei at all.

“You… you can’t kill me. My soul token is with my master, and he will sense it immediately if I die,” Lv Fan shouted loudly at Chen Fei, his only hope now lying in the card that was Liao Xia.

In the late stage of the Open Heaven Realm, he was considered a powerful figure even in the vast Xuanling Domain. Races like the Xuan Clan, a Seventh Rank Race, would hold Liao Xia in awe.

Just like back in the Black Stone Domain, where Liao Xia demanded all cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm to kill the Black Demons of the Wu Meng Clan, the Xuan Clan and Wu Meng Clan had no choice but to obey, and their own Rule Integration Realm cultivators had to join the battle as well.

“So, I should just send you safely back?” Chen Fei looked at Lv Fan and chuckled softly.

“You can erase my memory, make me forget this part, or whatever other method you deem safe. Killing me benefits neither you nor the human race,” Lv Fan said as he gazed at Chen Fei’s smile, his inner terror intensifying.

“Everything comes with a price. The price you must pay is already determined,” Chen Fei said as he reached out with his right hand towards Lv Fan. Instinctively attempting to dodge, Lv Fan found his body completely immobilized and could only watch helplessly as Chen Fei’s hand landed on his head.

In the next moment, intense pain flooded his soul, and Lv Fan involuntarily began to recall everything about his past.

A moment later, Chen Fei finished the God Devouring process, now having gained some understanding of Liao Xia, who was in the late stage of the Open Heaven Realm.

Then, Chen Fei seized Lv Fan by the neck, and his figure flashed quickly, leaving the territory of the human race to choose a deserted wilderness with no racial affiliation.

“If you kill me, the human race is doomed, and so are you. My master will seek vengeance for me!” Lv Fan shouted loudly, as if this were the only way to alleviate his fear.

“In the end, it might be your master who dies at my hands,” Chen Fei said softly with a smile, tightening his grip slightly on his right hand.

Hearing Chen Fei’s words, Lv Fan’s eyes widened involuntarily. He was about to refute Chen Fei’s arrogant ignorance when unimaginable pain overcame him; the next moment, everything before Lv Fan went dark.

He died without getting the chance to unleash even a breath of resentment, his body and path vanishing from existence.

Chen Fei waved his hand, erasing all traces of Lv Fan, then disappeared from the spot, heading toward the direction of Human Clan Qiankun City.

At this moment, within the territory of the human race, as two distinct waves resonating Open Heaven Realm deaths arose, the spies of various races were filled with surprise.

These cultivators of the Open Heaven Realm, they died too quickly.

When the spies saw Chen Feian returning unharmed, various speculations arose in the minds of the surrounding races.
