Chapter 869: Peak of the Mountain Sea Realm
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Unfortunately, the Sacred Land didn’t provide any cultivation methods for the Sun Moon Realm!”
Chen Fei looked at the newly appeared Nine Heavens Stellar Technique on the panel with some regret.
Whether it was the half-set sect-defending technique exchanged in the Task Hall, or the complete set of techniques now given, they all focused solely on the Mountain Sea Realm.
Of course, the methods to break through to the Sun Moon Realm and the seven sect-defending techniques were provided in full detail, which was fair.
But there was nothing about cultivation in the Sun Moon Realm.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Saints, even if the Sun Moon Realm techniques were given to the Mountain Sea Realm, those pract.i.tioners couldn’t really cultivate them anyway, so whether they were given or not didn’t make much of a difference.
“If I can win in this life-and-death decision, maybe I can request some Sun Moon Realm techniques then.”
Chen Fei’s gaze flickered. Asking Zhan Xuming for Sun Moon Realm techniques now would definitely be refused.
The focus of this month’s training was crucial: enhancing combat effectiveness.
Chen Fei’s previous request for all sect-defending techniques from the Sacred Lands was already somewhat excessive; after all, the differences between them were minimal, and mastering one was sufficient.
As a result, Chen Fei demanded everything.
Although the major Sacred Lands eventually agreed, asking for Sun Moon Realm techniques was completely unreasonable.
“I don’t need to rush for Sun Moon Realm techniques now. I’ll prepare for the life-and-death decision in a month. Winning will naturally bring many things.”
Chen Fei looked at the newly appeared Nine Heavens Stellar Technique, slowly comprehending its method of cultivation.
The proficiency of the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique had now dropped to the level of initial mastery. This meant that compared to the previous Purple Sky Stellar Technique, it had improved by a whole level.
This technique was extremely dominant, tailored entirely to Chen Fei’s wishes and his own circ.u.mstances.
Others could practice it, but the difficulty was immense, and once practiced to a certain degree, it became unsustainable.
Because if one fully unleashed the power of the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique, the first to be unable to withstand it would be the pract.i.tioner themselves.
After a moment, Chen Fei opened his eyes, picked up a Myriad Clone beside him, and after some thought, began by igniting his innate talent, the Thunderstorm.
Currently, Chen Fei only possessed the innate talent Thunderstorm and the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique, which was not yet fully perfected.
A day later, a thunderous vibration emanated from Chen Fei’s body.
Opening his eyes, Chen Fei saw a flash of purple light, signaling that Thunderstorm had finally reached Great Completion.
The Nine Heavens Stellar Technique automatically activated, complementing Thunderstorm. Its proficiency began to slowly increase.
An hour later, the operation of the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique gradually stabilized, and its proficiency no longer increased.
Chen Fei glanced at it and noticed that the proficiency of the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique had increased by nearly twenty percent within the mastery level, showing significant improvement.
With Thunderstorm reaching Great Completion, not only did it greatly enhance thunder-based techniques, but it also increased resistance against dark and malevolent forces in various aspects.
Those close to Chen Fei glanced at him, then closed their eyes again.
They could feel Chen Fei’s strength had once again improved.
With the a.s.sistance of the Enlightenment Stone, those in the Mountain Sea Realm and the Monster King here had shown very noticeable improvements in their strength recently.
Even at the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm, one could learn some secret techniques to patch up their weaknesses.
Or one could directly learn an entire set of Sacred Land techniques to elevate all aspects to their utmost.
However, noticeable transformations like Chen Fei’s were indeed rare. The key was that Chen Fei’s combat prowess was already extraordinary even when he was in the mid-fourth stage.
In such circ.u.mstances, the rapid improvements were hard to fathom.
Even with the a.s.sistance of Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique and the Myriad Clones, once one’s strength reached a certain point, no matter how many techniques one learned, it wouldn’t significantly enhance their strength. Just like Dream Shadow Master, who, once reaching a certain level of strength, gradually stagnated. Learning more techniques didn’t change that.
Reaching the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm and surpa.s.sing into the Sun Moon Realm was also impractical because each realm had its inherent limits. Without special circ.u.mstances, breaking through these limits was exceedingly difficult.
It might be simpler instead to ascend to a new realm.
“Simplify Nine Heavens Stellar Technique!”
“Simplifying Nine Heavens Stellar Technique… Simplification successful… Nine Heavens Stellar Technique — Purple Sky Stellar Technique!”
In the high-grade elemental stones within the Concealment Sword, only a hundred or so remained in an instant. This simplification directly consumed thousands of high-grade elemental stones from Chen Fei, making it the most costly technique to simplify.
However, these were trivial matters. Chen Fei truly had no shortage of highgrade elemental stones, as he could simply ask Zhan Xuming for more when needed.
The Sacred Land had already provided Enlightenment Stones and sectdefending techniques; a few high-grade elemental stones were hardly anything at all.
In Chen Fei’s palm, one of his Myriad Clones began to burn.
Profound insights emerged within Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness. As he looked at the ashes of the Myriad Clones scattered around, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Enhancing the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique required astonishing proficiency, but Chen Fei’s Myriad Clones were currently abundant enough to withstand such consumption.
One after another, the Myriad Clones turned to ashes, with Chen Fei occasionally making corrections midway through, then continuing to burn them.
After a day had pa.s.sed, the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique had reached perfection.
A golden-purple light shimmered around Chen Fei’s body, enhancing his already exaggerated physical strength to a new level of resilience.
The Nine Heavens Stellar Technique demanded extremely high physical prowess. Without the firm foundation of the Great Completion state of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, it was advisable not to practice it at all.
Although the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique could enhance physical strength, this enhancement was aggressive and direct, akin to thunder, violent and straightforward.
Those whose bodies were not strong enough might not withstand such enhancement and would collapse under the strain.
Chen Fei opened his eyes, slowly clenched his fists, and the raging elemental power circulated freely within his body. Even though it hadn’ t erupted yet, the strength was visibly potent.
The array patterns between the six divine palaces within his body were now intricate and complete.
Previously, when the Purple Sky Stellar Technique reached perfection, the six divine palaces were roughly connected, comparable to the combined force of the later stages of the Mountain Sea Realm.
But now, the connection between Chen Fei’s six divine palaces was no different from those of true late-stage Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners.
The significant difference between each realm of the Mountain Sea Realm lies in whether the divine palaces can form a united force.
A faint smile graced Chen Fei’s face as he picked up the Myriad Clones from the ground and continued burning them to enhance the proficiency of the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique.
Three days pa.s.sed in the silence of the Enlightenment Chamber.
Chen Fei sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by a frenzy of golden- purple light swirling around his body.
At a certain moment, the golden-purple light transformed into intricate patterns that completely merged into Chen Fei’s body.
After a moment of silence, Chen Fei’s aura erupted like a volcano, shooting skyward in an instant. However, this surge was immediately contained within a defensive barrier that emanated from beneath every Mountain Sea Realm and Monster King present.
This barrier ensured that any disturbance wouldn’t affect others.
Slowly opening his eyes, Chen Fei gradually calmed the oscillating aura, allowing it to integrate entirely back into his body.
Compared to when the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique reached perfection, the elemental power within Chen Fei’s body now appeared less violent, yet remarkably refined.
However, upon closer observation, one could detect an even stronger aura of destruction brewing within.
When unleashed, it would undoubtedly be earth-shattering.
Standing up, Chen Fei’s body shimmered with the light of nine stars, followed by the apparition of three divine palaces within him.
Nine Stars Row!
A surge of energy burst forth from within Chen Fei, causing his head to tilt slightly upward.
The array patterns within the six divine palaces lit up and swiftly extended towards the three illusory divine palaces that had formed.
In the blink of an eye, the six real divine palaces, together with the three illusory ones, seamlessly connected, forming a united force.
An astonishing power emanated from Chen Fei’s body as the nine divine palaces linked together in full cohesion—the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm!
The original Nine Stars Row technique of the Stellar Divine Technique naturally lacked this capability. At most, it could add three illusory divine palaces without linking the array patterns. Otherwise, the Stellar Divine Technique would have long been regarded as one of the foremost secrets among many Sacred Land techniques.
However, now, relying on the perfected Nine Heavens Stellar Technique of the Stellar Divine Technique, Chen Fei had managed to achieve what seemed almost impossible—a feat akin to a fairy tale.
The tremendous power surged wildly within Chen Fei’s body, but he ultimately suppressed and smoothed it all out.
With a robust physical strength and sufficient innate talents, coupled with the safeguard of Divine Blessing and Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique against any soul consumption, Chen Fei had everything under control.
In the hands of disciples of the Starry Sky Sacred Land, Nine Stars Row was merely a single strike ability, but in Chen Fei’s hands, it underwent a complete transformation, overturning heaven and earth.
Of course, within the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique, there are also other Sacred Land techniques embedded to connect even the illusory divine palaces together.
Sword Dominates the Galaxy!
A sword shadow appeared above the nine divine palaces, into which Chen Fei’s seven talents merged completely.
Previously, in the perfected state of the Purple Sky Stellar Technique, Sword Dominates the Galaxy could only temporarily incorporate five talents, resulting in a 4.0% increase in attack, a 60% increase in defense, and a 30% boost in attack and movement speed.
However, with the new Nine Heavens Stellar Technique, Chen Fei intentionally strengthened the ability to integrate talents.
Naturally, other Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners did not require such peculiar demands. But with Chen Fei’s abundance of talents, achieving the Great Completion state of the technique and being limited to forming Talent Techniques with only six talents would be wasteful.
According to Chen Fei’s own preferences, the final form of the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique could integrate a total of nine talents.
Chen Fei had intended to integrate ten talents, but the ultimate limit was set at nine, seemingly predetermined. Even with all his capabilities, he couldn’t break through this limit.
Nevertheless, Chen Fei was quite satisfied with the Talent Technique formed by nine talents, which was far more powerful than one formed by six talents.
Talents such as Teleportation, Prison Suppression, Adamantine Body, Sword Mastery, Thunderstorm, Endless Regeneration, and Divine Blessing shimmered brightly within the divine palaces, converging onto the sword shadow.
Chen Fei’s already peak Mountain Sea Realm aura surged once more. Waves of fluctuations emanated from him, colliding with the surrounding defensive barriers.
Chen Fei closed his eyes, sensing his own condition, a faint smile appearing on his face.
His attack increased by 60%, defense by 70%, attack and movement speed by 40%, and recovery by 30%.
