Fall

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Thousands of miles away, Chen Fei appeared in mid-air, looking down below.

This area belonged to the Thousand Feathers Alliance’s waters. Min Yanlu was currently leading his men to reclaim each area one by one. This one had yet to be reclaimed.

Chen Fei extended his right hand forward, gathering the essence of heaven and earth into a palm about a mile in diameter, probing beneath the sea surface.

*Bang!*

The entire sea surface instantly concaved, revealing a massive octopus monster hidden below.

At the peak of the Third-Tier, its body still exuded vitality, evidently having recently feasted on blood.

Despite the imminent reclaiming of the Thousand Feathers Alliance, it seemed reluctant to leave this place.

Within the giant palm, the octopus monster struggled violently, its compound eyes filled with fear.

Chen Fei clenched his right hand, and the octopus monster instantly turned into a mass of flesh. With the Slaughter Spirit Technique in operation, spiritual essence surged before Chen Fei.

Compared to the spiritual essence of a Fourth-Tier Monster King, the essence of a peak Third-Tier sea monster was naturally insignificant. However, it was sufficient to verify Chen Fei’s speculation.

Chen Fei looked at the two attacks within the spatial grid, regretting the lack of suitable opponents. Otherwise, these two attacks would undoubtedly surprise others greatly.

Dispersing the two attacks into the essence of heaven and earth, Chen Fei placed the spiritual essence of the octopus monster into one spatial grid, then took out the spiritual essence of other monsters and placed it into another spatial grid.

As Chen Fei issued the command, a mass of impurities scattered from the spatial grid of the octopus monster.

It was useful. It could be filtered!

However, Chen Fei looked at the remaining spiritual essence within the spatial grid of the octopus monster, unsure if this experiment was a success or a failure.

After filtration, the spiritual essence was sparse, barely a tenth, if not less.

In other words, in the eyes of the spatial grid, only this tiny amount of spiritual essence belonged to something similar to the pure spiritual essence of monsters.

Chen Fei collected the spiritual essence that had just scattered. Although it was expelled spiritual essence, some parts could still be absorbed by spiritual treasures.

Chen Fei didn’t immediately stop the experiment but instead began to divide the spiritual essence of the monsters into the smallest portions, storing them in the spatial grid, and decomposing the spiritual essence of the octopus monster once again.

This time, a small portion of pure spiritual essence was once again separated from the impure spiritual essence.

Continuing his attempts, Chen Fei placed other parts of the monster’s spiritual essence into the spatial grid.

After repeated efforts, consuming nearly half an hour, Chen Fei discovered that the final extractable pure spiritual essence still only constituted a small portion of the entire spiritual essence of the octopus monster.

The remaining spiritual essence of the octopus monster still possessed considerable energy. In the end, Chen Fei threw it to the Concealment Bell.

The Concealment Bell fluctuated with spiritual vitality, slowly absorbing it.

It could be consumed, but it wasn’t as palatable as before, requiring more time for digestion.

Chen Fei took out the remaining pure spiritual essence of the octopus monster from the spatial grid. After inspecting it with the Heavenly Eye, he found no issues, leaving some behind and absorbing the rest into his body.

The third Divine Palace emitted a faint light, but it subsided after a moment.

The spiritual essence was too scarce, only slightly advancing the progress of the third Divine Palace.

It contained more energy than a Fourth-Tier spiritual pill, and its absorption was effortless, but indeed, it was somewhat lacking.

“If it were a Fourth-Tier Monster King, there would undoubtedly be more spiritual essence, but the exact amount of pure spiritual essence that can be extracted is still unknown.”

Chen Fei frowned slightly. The individual differences were too significant, only the distorted rules of the spatial grid could strip it away like this.

With an anchor of pure monster spiritual essence added, Chen Fei now had an extra option when slaying Monster Kings in the future.

First, filter it himself, then filter the remaining spiritual essence and give it to the spiritual treasures for absorption.

One fish, two meals! This provided Chen Fei with another path to enhance his cultivation.

“So, killing these kinds of monsters to obtain pure spiritual essence is indeed a better method!”

Compared to randomly slaying Monster Kings on the Middle Continent to obtain spiritual essence, the efficiency of this altar was undoubtedly much higher.

Moreover, these monsters seemed completely incompatible with this world, naturally belonging to opposing sides with no possibility of reconciliation.

They were like a bizarre anomaly to humans, even more so.

Chen Fei activated his Heavenly Eye and, more than three thousand miles southwest, captured and killed another late-stage Third-Tier sea monster.

In the same experiment, this time Chen Fei not only took the pure spiritual essence of the monster but also tried the pure spiritual essence of the octopus monster. However, the final results showed no difference.

Only a very small portion of pure spiritual essence could be extracted, while the majority of the spiritual essence remained mixed with impurities.

Chen Fei shook his head. He regarded the remaining small portion of monster spiritual essence as an anchor for the future, while he assimilated all the other pure spiritual essence into his body.

Ripples spread from Chen Fei’s body, causing the surrounding essence of heaven and earth to tremble slightly.

Chen Fei lifted his head slightly, and the third Divine Palace accumulated rapidly. After a moment, the refinement of the spiritual essence was complete, and the third Divine Palace reached over seventy percent completion.

Chen Fei examined the condition of the Divine Palace within his body. In less than three years, he could complete the condensation of this Divine Palace.

With the experiment concluded, Chen Fei flew back towards the direction of the altar.

The results were not perfect, but there was still some gain.

Now, what Chen Fei wanted to see was when exactly the altar could regain its teleportation ability.

After over a dozen hours, Chen Fei returned, while his clone had been observing the altar the entire time, yet it remained inactive.

Chen Fei himself stood in front of the altar, activating his Heavenly Eye to carefully observe, while also using his innate teleportation ability to diligently sense the spatial fluctuations on the altar.

This observation lasted for a full day.

After this day of observation, Chen Fei confirmed that the altar was accumulating the power of the void. Based on the current progress, the altar would need at least a year to reopen.

“A year!”

Chen Fei’s gaze fluctuated. A year was a conservative estimate, and it might happen earlier. Moreover, through observation, Chen Fei found that while the altar absorbed the power of the void, it was subtly strengthening itself.

In other words, the next time the altar opened, its teleportation ability would become stronger.

At the mid-level of the fourth rank, it was estimated that it would not be able to come through, but the number of initial Fourth-Tier monsters transported in one go would probably increase.

Currently, Chen Fei could only transport two monsters at a time, but perhaps next time, it might increase to three or even four.

If three monsters teamed up to attack, Chen Fei would have to let his clone bear some of the pressure. If four monsters teamed up, they would likely exceed Chen Fei’s pressure threshold directly.

For the next time, if Chen Fei wanted to perfectly devour all these monsters, he would need to continue improving his strength within the year.

The stronger he became, the more capable he would be of devouring these transported monsters.

Moreover, based on what he saw outside the Feihuang City initially, if the number of these monsters reached a certain level, it would trigger a chain reaction, significantly increasing their difficulty to deal with.

“The monsters I kill here, their souls will actively escape. But if one day I kill them on the other side of the altar, will their souls still escape?”

A question suddenly arose in Chen Fei’s mind, but without having gone to the other side of the altar, Chen Fei couldn’t answer it himself.

A day later, on the outskirts of the altar, Chen Fei set up another formation based on the original formation, with a phantom body of himself within it.

Surrounding Chen Fei’s phantom body were also over a hundred high-grade elemental stones.

The phantom body had no attacking power, and its absorption of the essence of heaven and earth was extremely slow, so it couldn’t exist for a long time.

Chen Fei could only forcibly maintain the existence of the phantom body using high-grade elemental stones, after all, it was somewhat wasteful to place his early-stage Mountain Sea Realm clone here.

Leaving a phantom body here wouldn’t waste combat power, and the situation at the altar could also be supervised.

After all, one year was only Chen Fei’s estimation. If there were any sudden changes at the altar, Chen Fei would be able to detect them firsthand.

As for asking Min Yanlu to send someone to guard here, it would be difficult to truly observe the changes at the altar under the Mountain Sea Realm, and it might even cause trouble.

Each of these incoming monsters had the strength of the early stage of the fourth rank. Even Min Yanlu would have to flee when faced with them.

If two monsters came, neither Min Yanlu nor Master Haiyue would be able to escape. It hadn’t been long since the Thousand Feathers Alliance was reclaimed. They might end up dying in battle here.

It felt too tragic.

“Returning to Thousand Geese City so soon?”

Yan Yinwen was slightly surprised when she heard Chen Fei’s words.

“Yes, things here are done. I’ll go back to continue cultivating.” Chen Fei nodded.

Yan Yinwen looked at Chen Fei, wanting to say something but ultimately didn’t.

A moment later, Chen Fei transformed into purple light and disappeared into the sky.

Yan Yinwen watched Chen Fei’s departing figure, feeling somewhat annoyed as she stomped her foot.

Chen Fei didn’t specifically seek out Min Yanlu and Master Haiyue; he just sent a message using a fragment of the Enlightenment Tower.

Crossing through the Thousand Feathers Alliance, Chen Fei observed the situation in the sea below.

Compared to before, the Thousand Feathers Alliance had clearly undergone significant changes. Especially the vitality, it was filled with a new and vibrant energy.

After spending a day, Chen Fei returned to Thousand Geese City.

Before even entering the city, Leixie Tiger was already waiting in the sky above the city, with a bewildered Nie Li beside him.

Every time Chen Fei returned, Nie Li could actually sense it, but he never thought there would be such a thing as welcoming him outside the city.

It wasn’t that he didn’t respect Chen Fei, but he simply had no experience in this aspect at all.

Nie Li turned to look at Leixie Tiger. Where on earth did he learn all this from?

Chen Fei’s return once again elevated the recent waning enthusiasm surrounding the Primordial Sword Sect.

After all, everyone knew that the current status of the Primordial Sword Sect ultimately stemmed from Chen Fei, the Mountain Sea Realm powerhouse.

After exchanging pleasantries with the members of the Primordial Sword Sect for a moment, Chen Fei returned to the Tingfeng Pavilion and entered a state of closed – door cultivation.

In one year, if he wanted to make progress in his strength, he could only start from the martial arts.

The Sword Mastery talent could be perfected by simply wielding the sword, so one year was enough to cultivate it to the Great Completion stage.

The Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword was also at the perfection stage, but one year was not enough to advance it to the Great Completion stage. However, continuous improvement in proficiency could ultimately enhance the power of this martial art.

As for the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, the final stretch of improvement was slow, but fortunately, there were no bottlenecks, and it remained in a state of enhancement.

The Thousand Illusions Profound Slaying Sword was improving, but proficiency was now a secondary factor due to the constraint on the power of this martial art. The real factor was Chen Fei’s own soul strength and how far it could reach.

“The third Divine Palace is only a little over twenty percent away from completion. Should I take a trip to the cities under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Land to see if there are any good natural treasures?”

Improving the basic realm naturally increased combat power, and the results were remarkable.

However, Chen Fei hesitated on whether to let his clone carry the elemental stones or to go himself.

If the clone went, he could focus on cultivation without worry, but entrusting such a large sum of money to the clone seemed a bit risky.

The clone’s strength wasn’t lacking, so normally there wouldn’t have been any issues, but there were too many high-grade elemental stones, which instinctively made Chen Fei feel unsafe.

While Chen Fei was still pondering over how to go to the Sacred Land City, a message suddenly reached Thousand Geese City.

The Feihuang City, tens of thousands of miles away, had been captured!
