Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 1008: Chapter 979: Age Tower

“`

Though millions block my path, I shall pass!

Others may face a mighty army without changing their expression. Chen Fei faced a mighty army and charged directly, cutting them all down.

“It’s just luck,” Chen Fei couldn’t help but chuckle softly upon hearing Hua Zhichun’s words.

Hua Zhichun also smiled. In matters of battle, there was no such thing as luck.

“I came to see you today because I have a favor to ask.”

After some more idle chatter, Chen Fei placed a mid-grade Spiritual treasure from the alien races on the stone table.

Hua Zhichun glanced at the treasure on the table and, seeing that Chen Fei did not object, reached out and picked it up.

“It’s somewhat damaged, and it’s from the alien races, so it’s probably worth around seventy percent of a normal mid-grade Spiritual treasure.”

Hua Zhichun set the treasure back on the table, looked at Chen Fei, and asked, “Are you looking to sell?”

“Yes, I have several hundred of these treasures, as well as some unused spiritual materials. Can you help me find a suitable buyer?” Chen Fei nodded.

Compared to a veteran at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm like Hua Zhichun, Chen Fei’s connections in Sky Sea City were almost nonexistent, given that he had only been in the Return to Nothing Realm for a short time.

When Hua Zhichun heard that Chen Fei had several hundred mid-grade Spiritual treasures to sell, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly at the staggering amount of wealth they represented.

At this moment, Chen Fei’s image in Hua Zhichun’s eyes underwent another transformation, seemingly radiating golden light.

If Hua Zhichun encountered Chen Fei out in the wild, he would genuinely consider making a move, simply because Chen Fei was too wealthy.

However, whether he could actually defeat Chen Fei was something even Hua Zhichun was unsure of.

After all, Hua Zhichun couldn’t slay over a thousand at the mid-level of the Sun Moon Realm, but Chen Fei could, and what that represented was vastly different.

Though unsure if he could resist the temptation, no one at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm would likely be able to resist facing such wealth.

“If you trust me, the power behind me can take off these items. If you find that suitable, I’ll notify them to come over now,” Hua Zhichun said after some thought.

Hundreds of mid-grade Spiritual treasures, although alien and not easily usable by the human race, diminutive in value,

would, if taken by strong enough forge masters willing to spend the time to individually remodel these treasures, eventually have their value greatly increased.

The key was having the people, ample time, and some patience.

For both him and Chen Fei, it was a win-win situation.

“All right, it’s troublesome, but thank you,” Chen Fei said with a smile as he nodded.

Half an hour later, a group of more than twenty people arrived at Hua Zhichun’s courtyard, and an appraisal meeting for the treasures and spiritual materials began.

Chen Fei brought out all of his treasures. With several hundred mid-grade Spiritual treasures no longer suppressing their aura, the vital energy of heaven and earth was thoroughly stirred up for a time.

Hua Zhichun stood to the side, his eyes filled with a touch of sentiment.

Having cultivated for many years, this was the first time Hua Zhichun had seen so many unused mid-grade Spiritual treasures.

Three hours later, the several hundred mid-grade Spiritual treasures, along with the precious treasures Chen Fei wished to sell, were all appraised.

The final sale of these treasures yielded a total of ten million and seventy-three thousand top-grade primordial stones. Chen Fei had kept some spiritual materials and pills for himself, including a dozen portions of Sixth-Tier spiritual materials.

In these circumstances, to still fetch ten million top-grade primordial stones was considerable.

“I need Sky Extreme Pills, what’s the price?” Chen Fei looked at the person in charge.

“One Sky Extreme Pill goes for one thousand three hundred top-grade primordial stones in the territories of the human race. That’s the price everywhere,” Hua Guangjin said with a smile.

“Good, let’s start with five hundred. You can deduct it directly from the primordial stones,” Chen Fei nodded in agreement.

Sky Extreme Pills were just right for increasing cultivation at the later stages of the Sun Moon Realm, and they could also be exchanged at Qiankun Mansion. Now that Chen Fei had enough money, he naturally preferred to buy them with top-grade primordial stones.

As for the possibility of breaking through to the Rule Integration Realm, Chen Fei had no doubt about it. There was no need to save so many top-grade primordial stones, even if they were intended for the Primordial Sword Sect, nor was there a need for such an exaggerated amount.

“Great!” Hua Guangjin’s smile grew even wider.

Since Hua Guangjin and others did not carry so many top-grade primordial stones, they waited for a short time until a figure at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm appeared. He glanced at Chen Fei and subtly measured him up before handing over an inferior-grade profound treasure.

Chen Fei received it and checked inside. It contained precisely ten million and eighty thousand top-grade primordial stones, as well as five hundred Sky Extreme Pills.

Chen Fei didn’t know how effective the Sky Extreme Pills would be, just as he was unaware of how big the Source Point Space, protected by three Divine Powers like Indestructible Vision, could ultimately expand.

The inferior-grade profound treasure given by Hua Guangjin and others was not taken back.

It served as a holding place for those ten million-plus top-grade primordial stones and the Sky Extreme Pills. A transaction of over ten million top-grade primordial stones might not happen even once in several hundred years.

After exchanging pleasantries with the group for a short time, Hua Guangjin and the others left the courtyard, leaving only Chen Fei and Hua Zhichun.

“Going back to continue your secluded cultivation?” Hua Zhichun asked with a smile, looking at Chen Fei.

The exchange that had taken place over the previous few hours had stabilized Hua Zhichun’s emotions, although the ten million top-grade primordial stones were still astonishing.

“Before returning to seclusion, I’ll do one thing first,” Chen Fei shook his head.

“What is it?” Hua Zhichun asked curiously.

“Try the Age Tower,” Chen Fei said with a smile on his face.

A short time later, Chen Fei left and returned to his own courtyard.

“`

Feng Xiupu and the others showed sincere smiles on their faces upon seeing Chen Fei.

Chen Fei took out fourth-grade spiritual materials from the Celestial Treasure, which Feng Xiupu and the others could use.

To Chen Fei, the only use for these fourth-grade spiritual materials now was to give them to people from the Primordial Sword Sect.

After several months of cultivating, Feng Xiupu and his group had again increased their Cultivation Realms.

When cultivating within Qiankun Mansion, accumulating essence force was secondary; the most important thing was the enlightenment gleaned from the martial arts.

As long as the level and realm kept up, there were plenty of spiritual materials to help with the essence force needed for Tier-3 and Tier-4.

Feng Xiupu and the others did not cultivate the martial arts that Chen Fei had originally refined; those were more oriented towards Chen Fei’s personal traits. Chen Fei was able to unleash their full power, but that might not be the case for others.

Furthermore, the martial arts refined by Chen Fei were designed for power, and Chen Fei did not consider whether they were easy to cultivate or comprehend.

Therefore, it would be more detrimental than beneficial for them to cultivate the martial arts refined by Chen Fei.

Because Chen Fei rarely left seclusion, everyone from the courtyard came out, and they all sat together.

“There have been many visitors recently. Only after they learned you were in seclusion did the number slowly decrease,” said his senior brother, Guo Linshan, with a smile.

During this recent period, it had been Guo Linshan acting as the steward, receiving visitors when they came.

“Chen Fei, if there are too many enemies, you still need to be cautious,” Feng Xiupu couldn’t help but interject from the side.

They had also learned about Chen Fei’s deeds in the Glass Space from those visitors.

To others, Chen Fei appeared invincible, sweeping across all adversaries, but Feng Xiupu and his group could only worry.

“I understand. When I first joined the Primordial Sword Sect, Master taught me how to run faster,” Chen Fei said with a soft laugh.

Body movements and defensive sword techniques were the primary focus of Feng Xiupu’s teachings at that time, which was also related to Feng Xiupu’s own experiences.

Hearing Chen Fei’s words, everyone in the courtyard couldn’t help but laugh.

In the blink of an eye, several decades had already passed.

Who could have imagined they would go from Immortal Cloud City to the Return to Nothing Realm?

“Later, I want to challenge the Age Tower. Does everyone want to come and see?”

After chatting for a while, Chen Fei looked at the people and said.

Previously, during the duels in the martial arena with other cultivators of the Sun Moon Realm, all the spectators were from the Sun Moon Realm. To avoid making Feng Xiupu and the others feel uncomfortable, Chen Fei didn’t invite them.

Now that they were challenging the Age Tower, which didn’t involve competing with others, Chen Fei was fine with letting Feng Xiupu and the rest come and watch.

“The Age Tower? Sounds good!” The sect leader, Qu Qingsheng, showed a look of interest on his face, and the others felt the same.

Inside the Qiankun Mansion, they rarely left the courtyard, cherishing the cultivating environment within.

However, they were still curious about Qiankun Mansion, especially the Age Tower, which gathered the top hundred cultivators from previous generations and was widely talked about.

An hour later, Chen Fei, leading Qu Qingsheng and the others, arrived at the public area.

At that moment, there was a duel happening in the martial arena, thus attracting many cultivators at the Sun Moon Realm to watch from below.

“Chen Fei?”

Some people noticed the arrival of Chen Fei and his group, and then all the surrounding Sun Moon Realm cultivators turned their heads to look over.

Now, within the whole Qiankun Mansion, Chen Fei’s reputation had overshadowed all the Sun Moon Realm cultivators, including those at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm.

The main reason was Chen Fei’s unbelievable achievements in the Glass Space, which made people unable to resist discussing the matter.

Chen Fei nodded to the surrounding Sun Moon Realm cultivators and then walked towards the Age Tower.

The Age Tower was actually a battle strength ranking, and by now, it had already been filled with the names of a hundred cultivators at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm.

The first time someone made the ranking, they received a substantial reward in merit points, with additional points awarded daily based on their ranking.

Therefore, the competition for the ranking of the Age Tower was extremely fierce among those at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm.

As for the other cultivators at lower stages of the Sun Moon Realm, none had made the list yet.

Naturally, there were Sun Moon Realm cultivators in the later stages who tried to challenge the tower, but ultimately none of them managed to break into the top hundred.

“Chen Fei, are you going to challenge the Age Tower?” Seeing Chen Fei walk under the Age Tower, numerous people’s eyes instantly lit up.

All of them knew about Chen Fei facing a thousand adversaries in the Glass Space and heard that thereafter, the Emperors had greatly rewarded him.

However, the only humans who actually witnessed the event were Kuang Xingfeng and Lu Shuzhang—all the remaining mid-level Sun Moon Realm cultivators had only heard the story.

Such a thing surely couldn’t be fake; otherwise, this wouldn’t be a reputation but a disgrace.

But after all, it was hearsay, and it was so far-fetched that many people remained skeptical.

But today, if Chen Fei was to challenge the Age Tower, then his true strength would become apparent.

The Age Tower was now dominated by those at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm; those below simply couldn’t set foot in it.

Yet Chen Fei had faced a thousand alone. Although he had used some other means, his battle strength was definitely far higher than his peers.

And judging from his aura, he had also broken through to the later stages of the Sun Moon Realm.

Challenging the Age Tower might still have its disadvantages, but he couldn’t possibly fail to squeeze into the top hundred, right?
