Sacred Land’s Unique Skill

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“This is an overview of three sword techniques. You can take a look, choose one, and then I’ll have someone provide you with the complete technique.” Qu Shangzheng looked at Chen Fei and said with a smile.

Compared to giving treasures from heaven and earth, Qu Shangzheng was even more willing to provide techniques.

After all, techniques like these, as long as they weren’t the core inheritance of a sect, wouldn’t pose much of a problem if spread.

It’s not that the techniques had no value, but they had better options in their

hands.

“Thank you!”

Chen Fei bowed to Qu Shangzheng, picked up the first jade slip from the table, and delved into it with a trace of his mind.

After a moment, Chen Fei put down the jade slip and picked up the second one.

The jade slips only contained a brief overview of the techniques, briefly explaining their characteristics and the effects that could be achieved through cultivation. Therefore, in less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei had finished reviewing the last jade slip.

“How about it, which one do you want?” Qu Shangzheng asked.

“Are these the only three? Are there any others?” Chen Fei looked up at Qu

Shangzheng.

These three sword techniques, just based on the overview, were actually quite good, much stronger than any technique Chen Fei had obtained before.

In the past, Chen Fei would have been satisfied.

But now, with all of Chen Fei’s previous techniques melted into the panel and the emergence of the Profound Demon Sword, it surpassed these three techniques by far.

Choosing any of these three and continuing to merge them into the Profound Demon Sword wouldn’t bring about much change, at most just adding a little extra embellishment.

In that case, Chen Fei might as well choose treasures from heaven and earth, which would be more cost-effective.

“These three are already quite good. Sometimes, better techniques don t necessarily yield better results.”

Qu Shangzheng said, his brows slightly furrowed, implying that Chen Fei shouldn’t aim too high.

True top-notch techniques require exceptional talent to cultivate. Even if an average person were to obtain those top-notch techniques, they might only remain at the introductory stage for their whole life.

“Thank you for the reminder!”

Chen Fei nodded, his right hand forming a sword gesture as he casually slashed forward.

A flash of sword intent passed, causing a slight tremor in the energy of the room before returning to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Qu Shangzheng’s brows twitched slightly, casting a somewhat surprised glance

at Chen Fei.

Qu Shangzheng, at the late stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, possessed unquestionable strength. Being in a top-notch sect like the Feihuang Sect, his vision and perspective naturally surpassed those of ordinary practitioners at the Mountain Sea Realm.

Although Chen Fei’s previous sword strike was casual, it revealed quite a lot. Initially dissatisfied with the three jade slips on the table, Qu Shangzheng had felt that Chen Fei was too arrogant, which somewhat displeased him. However, upon reconsideration, he acknowledged that this young practitioner at the Mountain Sea Realm indeed had some skills.

At least, judging from the level of proficiency displayed in that previous sword strike and the depth of comprehension of the technique, it was definitely not low. Thus, Chen Fei’s disregard for those three jade slips was somewhat understandable.

“A sealed subordinate of the Black Divine, while valuable, can only be exchanged for techniques at this level at most. As for the better techniques, the Feihuang Sect does not disseminate them,” Qu Shangzheng continued, looking at Chen Fei.

“It’s not just us; the situation is the same in other parts of the Middle Continent. Top-tier inheritances are already held by various sects, he explained further.

Chen Fei furrowed his brows slightly. Despite feeling somewhat disappointed,

he knew that what Qu Shangzheng said was true.

Feihuang City was already one of the prominent cities in the Middle Continent. After all, the strength of the Feihuang Sect spoke for itself. The only entities that could surpass Feihuang City were the Sacred Lands and the former sacred sects.

While the resources might be richer within the cities where the Sacred Lands were located, when it came to techniques, the outcome would not vary much. A top-tier inheritance could sometimes cultivate a top-tier powerhouse, and every sect guarded these inheritances very closely.

Unless you joined our sect, it was almost impossible for outsiders to obtain such inheritances. There might be slim chances, but they were rare.

“Or if you’re willing to join our Feihuang Sect as a guest, there are other techniques that can be passed down,” Qu Shangzheng said, looking at Chen Fei.

At the early stage of the Mountain Sea Realm and capable of sealing a subordinate of the Black Divine, whether through collaboration with others or independently, Chen Fei was qualified to become a guest of the Feihuang Sect.

“A guest?”

Chen Fei was slightly surprised at Qu Shangzheng’s words, then shook his head.

As a guest, although you could receive techniques, it didn’t mean that the sect would immediately provide you with them upon entry. You would have to contribute something, usually in the form of contributions points, to exchange for them.

This was the case for almost every sect or faction, regardless of size. After all, without merit, there was no reward. Things given too easily wouldn’t be valued, and this applied to guests as well.

Moreover, once you took on the role of a guest, you couldn’t leave the Feihuang Sect in the short term. If there was any danger to the sect, guests had to step up immediately.

It could be said that becoming a guest would greatly impact both freedom and personal safety.

For Chen Fei, the cost-benefit ratio was too low for the sake of slightly better techniques.

“Do you have any incomplete top-tier inheritances?” Chen Fei suddenly asked. Initially, seeing Chen Fei politely decline the offer to become a guest, Qu Shangzheng had been ready to present a list of other treasures that could be exchanged. But upon hearing Chen Fei’s question, Qu Shangzheng couldn’t help but pause.

Incomplete top-tier inheritances? The Feihuang Sect did have them, indeed. Despite being a top-tier power, the Feihuang Sect had never stopped collecting various techniques.

Whether out of vigilance or the desire for continuous improvement, they always sought to progress further.

While the Feihuang Sect had strong internal technique inheritances, there was always the possibility that external techniques could provide new insights. The Middle Continent was vast, and over the years, many powers had risen and fallen. Besides the few ancient Sacred Lands, there were numerous powers that had faded into obscurity over time.

Often, the techniques from these vanished Sacred Lands or the legacy of fallen top-tier powers became the focus of the Feihuang Sect’s collection efforts.

However, it was a pity that most of what they collected were incomplete techniques, with very few being complete. Moreover, these complete techniques were often quite ordinary, with relatively low value. Nevertheless, the collection efforts continued because sometimes new insights could be found within these incomplete inheritances.

However, these incomplete techniques were suitable for top-tier powers like theirs. They had enough manpower and time to deal with such meticulous matters.

For the vast majority of practitioners at the Mountain Sea Realm, the practical significance of incomplete inheritances was too low.

Imagine practicing halfway only to find no follow-up methods available. How frustrating would that be? Moreover, the insights provided in the inheritance couldn’t be converted into combat power in the short term.

If one were to expend energy on this, hundreds of years could pass in the blink of an eye, and the hope of advancing further on the martial path would seem almost impossible.

“incomplete sword inheritance?” Qu Shangzheng confirmed with a question.

“Yes, a top-tier inheritance is required,” Chen Fei nodded.

Since complete inheritances were unavailable, Chen Fei could only settle for second best. With the panel at his disposal, he could always find quality through quantity.

“Alright!”

Qu Shangzheng thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Although Qu Shangzheng thought Chen Fei’s choice of incomplete techniques was unwise, it was the other party’s decision, and he didn’t have the inclination to dissuade him.

Ultimately, the relationship between the two was purely transactional.

Chen Fei sold the subordinate of the Black Divine, and in return, the Feihuang Sect provided corresponding rewards. That was all.

In less than a moment, two jade slips were placed in front of Chen Fei. He focused a trace of his mind and delved into them.

The Samsara Reincarnation Sword!

It was the flagship technique of the once-renowned Samsara Sword Sect on the Middle Continent.

However the Samsara Sword Sect had disintegrated thousands of years ago. Today, there were only a few small sects on the Middle Continent that claimed to be descendants of the Samsara Sword Sect.

When Chen Fei read about various events on the Middle Continent before, he had some impression of the Samsara Sword Sect.

At its peak, the Samsara Sword Sect had six practitioners at the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm. Many even predicted that the Samsara Sword Sect was likely to produce practitioners at the Sun Moon Realm, elevating it to the status of a Sacred Land.

One of the most famous battles of the Samsara Sword Sect was when those six pinnacle Mountain Sea Realm practitioners formed the Samsara Sword Formation and directly withstood an attack from a Fifth-Tier Monster King without retreating.

Of course, it was only one attack. If another attack had followed, all six pinnacle Mountain Sea Realm practitioners of the Samsara Sword Sect would have perished if the practitioners of the Sun Moon Realm from the human race had not arrived in time.

However, the disparity between the Sun Moon Realm and the Mountain Sea Realm was immense. For six practitioners to withstand an attack from a Monster King was enough to immortalize the Samsara Sword Sect in history. But it was regrettable that such a powerful sect eventually became history, and even its flagship technique, the Samsara Reincarnation Sword, was now in a state of disrepair.

According to the information on the jade slip, the Feihuang Sect’s version of the Samsara Reincarnation Sword was less than twenty percent complete.

It was possible to cultivate up to the third divine palace, but there was no hope for further advancement.

To break through to the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, one would need to change to another technique. This meant starting from scratch with a new technique, wasting a considerable amount of time.

Alternatively, one could have the talent to integrate other techniques into the Samsara Reincarnation Sword.

However, this was much more difficult than re-comprehending a new technique from scratch.

With the energy and talent required, it was better to comprehend a slightly weaker technique to elevate one’s realm as soon as possible.

Chen Fei remained composed, placing down the jade slip in his hand and picking up another one, probing his mind into it.

The Purple Sky Thunder Technique!

Using the Purple Sky Thunder as a sword, it could vanquish demons and suppress evil. With full force, a single strike would rain thunder within a radius of several miles.

The Purple Sky Thunder Technique was a legacy of the Sacred Land, Purple Sky Sect. Although it wasn’t the flagship technique of the sect, its power surpassed that of the flagship techniques of many other top-tier sects.

For instance, the Purple Sky Thunder Technique was stronger than the Feihuang Sect’s flagship technique, showcasing the might of a Sacred Land. The fact that the Feihuang Sect could obtain the Purple Sky Thunder Technique indicated that the Purple Sky Sect had already been erased from the records of the Middle Continent.
