Chapter 737: Return to Origin

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The three talents he had just seen regarding the Suppressing Dragon Elephant were actually very good. They could be considered tailor-made for the cultivation method. With mutual cooperation in cultivation, they could rapidly enhance Chen Fei’s combat power.

Alternatively, these three talents emerged precisely because he had succeeded in practicing the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.

In other Mountain Sea Realms, to obtain talents corresponding to the cultivation method, one would definitely have needed to comprehend the cultivation method to a profound degree.

Leaving aside ordinary sects and cultivation methods for the moment, the outstanding talents that could be obtained were relatively limited.

For those top sects or even sacred grounds, once the cultivation method was successful, the talents were bound to be so strong as to arouse envy.

Not to mention the top sects, just looking at the Saint Yan Sect, once the Nine Hells Refining Technique was successfully cultivated, talents related to the One-Armed Hades would definitely appear, greatly enhancing the power of the cultivation method.

However, to have matching talents, the prerequisite was to cultivate the cultivation method to a certain extent, allowing the inner world to resonate with the void and pull the talents close enough.

That meant those prodigies from the top sects or sacred grounds had to wait until the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, or even until the late stage of the realm for extremely difficult-to-cultivate techniques to obtain sufficiently good talents.

As for Chen Fei, due to his high proficiency in the technique, he could see matching talents now.

However, the only regret was that Chen Fei currently only had the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, which could be considered a top-tier technique.

Other techniques like the Nine Hells Profound Slaying Sword and the Profound Demon Sword were just better than ordinary techniques.

As for the Profound Demon Sword, it went without saying since it was just a fusion of ordinary techniques. It was the Nine Hells Profound Slaying Sword that had integrated some aspects of the Nine Hells Refining Technique, allowing Chen Fei to encounter new concepts of techniques in the Mountain Sea Realm.

The key was the condensation of the Xuanyuan Sword, which gave this technique a considerable broad prospect.

However, at that stage, the level of techniques Chen Fei possessed was still too low.

Several thoughts had flashed through Chen Fei’s mind as his figure had flown a distance away.

If there had been no desirable talents ahead, he would have come back to take either the Imprisonment or the Sky Piercer. Both were good choices, so he could have picked either one without any loss.

His spiritual energy consumption had reached three and a half percent. Chen Fei crossed a blank segment of the void, where there were no talents or light, only endless silence.

This was the true face of the void. If he ever had the opportunity to break through the void with his physical body, this would be the scene he would encounter.

Finally, new lights appeared ahead. Compared to the bustling lights before, the number of lights here was undoubtedly much fewer.

The further into the latter half of the void, the fewer talents appeared, and the greater the distance between talents.

Talents that appeared in the later stages of the void, generally speaking, would be stronger than those seen just upon entering the void.

However, this was not an absolute situation because the talents hidden in the void ultimately revealed the deepest aspects of your being.

Some people were naturally gifted, and many excellent talents were already evident in superficial ways.

For example, those born with divine strength might be able to see superior strength just upon entering the void, while it might take until the latter half of the void to see agility.

The talents within the void were not identical; they varied from person to person.

Overall, talents in the latter half of the void were much stronger than those in the front, and if one ventured deep enough, they might even discover talents from other races.

Here was where the resonance between the inner world and the void occurred, with more emphasis on the void than the inner world.

The void encompassed everything, naturally containing all the talents that had appeared in this world.

Therefore, as long as you were truly strong enough, with deep enough foundations, possessing a set of talents from demonic beasts was quite commonplace.

Seeing a stream of light ahead, Chen Fei reached out his hand.

[Bronze Skin, Iron Bones: Reduces damage, enhances strength, self-healing]

Chen Fei’s expression slightly changed. This was a talent that provided enhancement in three aspects. In the eyes of many in the Mountain Sea Realm, this could be considered an extraordinary talent.

Especially for those who practiced body-refining techniques, this was much stronger than just pure strength or self-healing.

Of course, perhaps it couldn’t match up to the top-tier strength alone, but considering it provided enhancements in three areas, it surpassed those talents in terms of quantity.

If the practiced technique happened to lean towards these aspects and allowed Bronze Skin, Iron Bones to break through limits and grow, it would be incredibly beneficial.

If Chen Fei chose this talent, reducing damage could complement Domain Suppression, increasing the upper limit of pressure endurance. Enhancing strength and self-healing would also be a perfect match for the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.

So, although this talent wasn’t exclusive to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant could help this talent break through its limits and grow.

To be honest, Chen Fei was somewhat tempted.

Compared to Imprisonment and Sky Piercer, Bronze Skin, Iron Bones was just as good, if not better, because of its three enhancements. In a sense, it seemed even more enticing.

Bronze Skin, Iron Bones might not excel in everything, but it excelled in everything it did.

Backup!

Chen Fei checked his spiritual energy to see a few more talents. There was no hurry to make a decision.

This was the benefit of having deep foundations; you could see excellent talents and then choose your favorite among them.

It might not be the most suitable, but it would definitely be the most in line with one’s heart.

Chen Fei flew to another stream of light and reached his hand into it.

[Indomitable: Maintain strength despite severe injuries]

Whether human or demonic beast, once severely injured, they would lose the vast majority of their combat power, or even have none at all.

But this talent allowed a martial artist to maintain some degree of combat power even when severely injured or on the brink of death. Perhaps it was this window of time that could change the course of a battle.

Or simply using that time to escape would also be an excellent choice.

This talent, when developed, could continually extend the time of maintaining combat power and the degree of strength possessed.

It was another excellent talent, but Chen Fei seemed not to need it.

Having cultivated the Suppressing Dragon Elephant to Great Completion and being able to directly undergo blood rebirth, no matter how you looked at it, was much stronger than this.

However, other individuals in the Mountain Sea Realm didn’t have the ability of blood rebirth. Choosing this talent, Indomitable, was like taking out an insurance policy.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be needed in a lifetime, but as long as it was used once, it would be worth it.

Only the one who used it would know how good this talent was.

Chen Fei continued his swift movements and arrived at another stream of light.

At this point, his spiritual energy had already consumed forty percent. Chen Fei had set a limit for himself: once his spiritual energy consumption reached forty-five percent, regardless of whether he found satisfactory talents, he must immediately return.

[Illusionary Form: Etherealizes the body]

This cluster of light seemed to hint at the talent of demonic beasts to Chen Fei.

In the scriptures, Chen Fei had seen demonic beasts with similar talents. They could etherealize themselves at critical moments.

Once etherealized, the speed of their body movements would greatly increase, and at the same time, they would receive reduced damage from attacks.

Moreover, the efficacy of this ability to etherealize would increase as the injuries became more severe.

It was another talent that could ensure survival. If combined with the talent Indomitable, escaping from danger at crucial moments would likely be very smooth.

“So, has such outstanding potential always been hidden within my body?”

This talent of Illusionary Form, along with Indomitable, didn’t seem like an extension of a technique but rather like Chen Fei himself possessed this potential.

Although having teleportation, this Illusionary Form couldn’t be called redundant, but its utility was indeed greatly reduced.

The only advantage Illusionary Form had over teleportation was probably its ability to directly penetrate many formations, and the more severe the injury, the stronger this effect became.

Compared to teleportation, this was the only area where Illusionary Form excelled.

But choosing Illusionary Form just for this aspect would be too much of a loss.

[Sword Mastery: Enhances all sword techniques, reduces the difficulty of practicing sword techniques]

Another talent appeared in Chen Fei’s perception, a pure sword-related talent.

Previously, Chen Fei had seen a sword-related talent, Swordsmanship Affinity, which was a smaller version of Sword Mastery.

Chen Fei also practiced swordsmanship. While he had previously overlooked Swordsmanship Affinity, this Sword Mastery truly made Chen Fei reluctant to pass it up.

It was unlikely for Chen Fei to switch to other weapons in the future, and even at this moment, there was still the Xuanyuan Sword in his sea of consciousness.

Exchanging for Sword Mastery would be beneficial to Chen Fei without any harm.

While reducing the difficulty of practicing sword techniques wasn’t necessary for Chen Fei, enhancing the power of sword techniques was something no swordsman could refuse, including Chen Fei.

Compared to Sky Piercer of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, the value of Sword Mastery was undoubtedly stronger.

As for the future breakthroughs in Sword Mastery’s talents and practicing sword techniques, it would probably have a promoting effect.

Sword Mastery, Bronze Skin Iron Bones, Imprisonment!

Three options, with Sky Piercer excluded.

Chen Fei perceived the state of his spiritual energy and looked towards another stream of light ahead, flying forward and reaching out his right hand into it.

[Blood Fury: The more severe the injury, the stronger the power]

It was somewhat similar to Indomitable, but Indomitable took effect after severe injuries, even when on the brink of death.

Blood Fury, on the other hand, activated as soon as you were injured. However, once Blood Fury was triggered, your own defense was reduced, and during battle, your injuries continued to worsen.

On one hand, it enhances your combat power, but on the other hand, it deepens your injuries. In the end, it’s a race to see whether you’ll be killed by your own wounds or whether you ‘ll kill your enemy first.

“When combined with the Suppressing Dragon Elephant’s insane self-healing ability and the talent Domain Suppression’s damage reduction, this seems pretty good too.”

Chen Fei checked his spiritual energy and realized that forty-five percent had already been consumed. He didn’t have time to look at other talents anymore.

Chen Fei had to choose one from Blood Fury and the three talents he had previously chosen.

Sword Mastery and Bronze Skin Iron Bones were for daily self-enhancement, but once Chen Fei was injured, a decrease in combat power was inevitable. The more severe the injury, the lower the combat power. At this point, he could only rely on the Suppressing Dragon Elephant’s self-healing ability to keep up.

Imprisonment could control the battlefield, and in complex situations, it could be easily managed. Especially when facing surrounded attacks, the combination of teleportation and imprisonment was an excellent match.

Blood Fury, the last-ditch counterattack, had its drawbacks, but under the coverage of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, it could be directly mitigated.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Fei realized he wanted each of them. If he hadn’t tried dragging two talents back initially, Chen Fei would have chosen one right away.

“Sword Mastery!”

Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Fei’s mind. After a moment of contemplation, he dragged the Sword Mastery talent and flew off in the direction he had come from.
