Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 1165: Chapter 1121: Celestial Suppression Great Completion

Unlike the last time he transformed into a black hole, this time, in addition to the distortion of light, the entire black hole was pulsating rhythmically, as if it was nurturing a primordial beast within.

Inside Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, realizations about Celestial Suppression were still arising, but compared to before, the frequency of these insights about Celestial Suppression had started to slow down.

On the panel, the final increments of proficiency in Celestial Suppression, which had been stagnant for quite some time, seemed to have had their restraints lifted and began to rapidly increase, until the last of the proficiency was completely filled.

“Thump!”

A ripple emanated from Chen Fei’s body, and the formations in the cultivation room simply couldn’t stop this ripple, which spread through the void like a wave.

In almost the blink of an eye, the ripple had spread throughout the entire Han Yun City, and it swept outward toward the periphery.

...

Within Han Yun City, everyone from practitioners in the Rule Integration Realm to children in the Body Tempering stage faintly heard the sound of a heartbeat, but when they tried to listen closely, they found nothing; it seemed like an illusion.

Most people didn’t feel much, thinking it was just some disturbance caused by a practitioner in the Rule Integration Realm during cultivation.

This kind of event wasn’t unheard of in Han Yun City; in fact, it happened quite frequently.

But a few people, or rather, all the practitioners in the Rule Integration Realm within the city, detected something different in this sound.

What was more critical was that some in the Rule Integration Realm, even when inside their own quiet rooms with isolation formations set up, still heard this barely perceptible sound.

This was not the kind of disturbance that could be produced by ordinary cultivation.

Qiu Gongzhi was standing midair in Han Yun City and heard this sound too, his expression changing subtly because he couldn’t discern where the sound was coming from.

Han Yun City’s formations were under Qiu Gongzhi’s control, and he should be aware of any significant commotion within the city, but for some reason, he had no idea about the origin of that sound just now.

Moreover, as a practitioner at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm controlling three secondary rules, Qiu Gongzhi perceived a grand and unprecedented sense of awe in that sound.

In the face of that imposing force, Qiu Gongzhi felt his own insignificance, as if he were facing a practitioner of the Open Heaven Realm, utterly incapable of resistance.

The key question was, how could such a momentous power flash by within Han Yun City?

Or was the source actually outside the city, with Han Yun City merely affected by it? Is this where his restlessness stemmed from?

Two figures appeared beside Qiu Gongzhi, other human race practitioners, Xia Yingzhen and Wang Yanyu, both at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm and wielding two secondary rules each.

Without being at this level of cultivation, it would have been very difficult to survive in the ruins before.

“Brother Qiu, did you feel it?” asked Wang Yanyu in a heavy voice. Nowadays, the slightest disturbance made Wang Yanyu anxious.

“Hmm, let’s send some people to check the surroundings. If necessary, everyone should leave this place,” Qiu Gongzhi nodded.

“I’ll go out and take a look as well,” Xia Yingzhen said softly.

“All right, be very careful,” Qiu Gongzhi advised.

In the courtyard cultivation room, Chen Fei was unaware that his fluctuations had somewhat unsettled Qiu Gongzhi and the others, but even if he had known, there was nothing he could have done about it.

Having stepped into the Great Completion stage of the Sixth Rank Celestial Suppression, the complete rule of power resided within Chen Fei’s physique, making such commotion unavoidable.

The black hole within the room had vanished, and Chen Fei sat cross-legged, sensing the changes within his physique.

When he had a hundred fragments of the rule of power, Chen Fei achieved the Open Heaven rule body and thought that was the ultimate transformation. He believed that reaching Great Completion in Celestial Suppression and adding eight more fragments of the rule of power would just enhance his physique slightly further.

But now Chen Fei realized that he had underestimated Celestial Suppression, or rather, the rule of power – the main rule.

Compared to the time he initially achieved the Open Heaven rule body, Chen Fei found the strength and resilience in his physique had doubled.

These one hundred and seven fragments of the rule of power, compared to the complete rule of power, resulted not merely in an increase in quantity but a transformation in quality.

Chen Fei felt unable to assess the strength of his physique at this moment, uncertain where it stood among the seventh tier because he didn’t possess any seventh-tier elemental power techniques in hand.

But judging from the fluctuations of the battles of the seventh-level Open Heaven Realm within the chaotic space streams, Chen Fei believed that his physical strength should have entered the mid-stage of the seventh tier.

Moreover, this wasn’t a rule body barely entering the mid-stage of the seventh tier; it was considerably stronger.

How formidable the Yuan Clan once was could be clearly seen from this Celestial Suppression technique.

A sixth-tier body refining technique, upon completion, granted a physique equivalent to the mid-stage of the seventh tier.

Of course, amongst the Yuan Clan in the Rule Integration Realm back then, only a few prodigious members chose to cultivate Celestial Suppression because the difficulty of its cultivation was immense. Even those prodigious members of the Yuan Clan who managed to make some progress were few and far between.

But this couldn’t hide the might of Celestial Suppression.

Such a powerful Yuan Clan and technique, and yet it wasn’t enough to elevate the Yuan Clan to a ninth-rank race. How powerful then were those of the ninth rank?

Chen Fei stood up and executed a set of ordinary fist techniques within the room, swiftly mastering the surge of power in his physique.

It had to be said, this overwhelming power gave Chen Fei a sense of security. And with such a resilient physique, Chen Fei had some other ideas about breaking through to the Open Heaven Realm.

According to the original plan, Chen Fei intended to break through to the Open Heaven Realm by mastering the Space Main Rule, and by then, with both the Rule of Strength and Space as his main rules, Chen Fei’s foundation would become extremely solid.

But now, with the Celestial Suppression having granted Chen Fei such an exaggerated Open Heaven physique, it seems that he could attempt a different way of breaking through.

The Space Main Rule will remain the same, and on that basis, could it be possible to also gather the four secondary rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind?

Others at the Peak of the Rule Integration Realm would choose one of the two paths, but Chen Fei wanted them all!

However, doing so would present a small problem, as there were only ten fragments of the four secondary rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind within Chen Fei’s soul.

That is to say, a total of ten fragments. To coalesce them into complete secondary rules would require a considerable number of rule fragments.

Even with Chen Fei’s current cultivation speed, accomplishing this would take a considerable amount of time; several months wouldn’t be avoidable.

Chen Fei’s gaze fluctuated as he seated himself cross-legged once more.

Regardless of whether he wanted to add Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind to the foundation of the Space Main Rule, his cultivation must continue as normal, especially since he still had two Space Secondary Rules left to master.

There was good news, once the Celestial Suppression was complete, Chen Fei would be able to add new secondary rules and cultivate them simultaneously.

Cultivating three secondary rules at once, one could add a fragment to each rule in one day’s time, and anyone would become addicted to such rapid progress.

Chen Fei closed his eyes and circulated the rules, with a great deal of insight emerging in his sea of consciousness.

In just a moment, Chen Fei’s eyes snapped open, filled with astonishment.

Under the sudden epiphany, Chen Fei realized that his cultivation speed had increased even further, and he no longer needed to maintain any sort of small Open Heaven state to aid his cultivation.

Because the Rule of Strength within his physique had coalesced completely, in some ways, the difference between Chen Fei and the Open Heaven Realm had become minimal.

For this reason, Chen Fei found that his cultivation speed had once again surged dramatically. @@novelbin@@

If originally a day’s time could increase one secondary rule’s fragment, now it was likely that less than half a day was needed for an increase of one fragment.

If one were to set aside the issue of epiphanies, Chen Fei’s cultivation efficiency had effectively doubled.

If there were Rule Crystals available for consumption right now, one crystal could enhance a single secondary rule by over thirty fragments.

Chen Fei hadn’t expected for the breakthrough to Great Completion in Celestial Suppression to bring such a pleasant surprise.

Unfortunately, Chen Fei was not yet able to cultivate the Seventh Rank Celestial Suppression because it required mid-grade Primordial Crystals to simplify the process.

Within the Black Stone Domain, Chen Fei had heard of mid-grade Primordial Crystals but had never seen one; they were the type of crystals used by cultivators in the seventh-level Open Heaven Realm.

Without simplification, Chen Fei would have to rely on his own to cultivate.

Chen Fei’s talents were not weak, but Celestial Suppression was not meant for humans to cultivate; attempting to force his cultivation could not only result in half the effort for twice the work, but it could also be completely ineffective.

If there were enough time, Chen Fei might attempt it, but with time so short, it was naturally better to first strengthen himself.

Chen Fei closed his eyes once more, sinking into a state of cultivation.

As days passed, Qiu Gongzhi and the other two never detected that initial disturbance and remained uneasy.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days had gone by, and nearly a month had passed since the matter of the Yuan Clan’s ruins.

While Han Yun City remained peaceful, the hearts of the human race within the Rule Integration Realm could not settle down, but instead, the feeling of a storm approaching grew stronger.

The Evil Clans would definitely not allow the human race time to recover; this was inevitable.

Inside the courtyard cultivation room, Chen Fei remained in a state of cultivation without ever leaving.

The Divine Power Indestructible Vision had issued an early warning sometime before, but Chen Fei hadn’t felt any danger and had pushed it to the back of his mind, continuing to improve his cultivation.

Two days earlier, the cultivation of the Space Secondary Rule “Void” was complete, transforming Chen Fei’s essence, energy, spirit, and soul once more, heightening the sensitivity of his physique to various rules, and increasing his resilience.

The Space Secondary Rule “Nothingness” had advanced to eighty-three fragments of rules, the Earth Secondary Rule to forty-three fragments, and the Water Secondary Rule increased to seven fragments.

Chen Fei was about to complete the coalescence of the Space Main Rule, while the secondary rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind were catching up rapidly.

Thirty thousand li away from Han Yun City, several silhouettes flickered past, and right below where the patrols of the human race’s Sun Moon Realm were stationed, nothing could be seen because each of these individuals was at the Peak of the Rule Integration Realm.

The distance of thirty thousand li vanished in an instant, and within the city lord’s mansion of Han Yun City, as Qiu Gongzhi just realized something was wrong, those several silhouettes had already arrived within a few hundred li of Han Yun City.

Qiu Gongzhi appeared outside the city walls, looking towards the distant figures with a slight change in his complexion.

Four pinnacle Rule Integration Realm figures from the Evil Clans, two from the Ice Race, and most crucially, one from the Wu Meng Clan, Wu Ze.

Having mastered three secondary rules completely and already understood more than half of the fourth, Wu Ze’s identity and cultivation realm were the highest among those present!
