Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 1086: Chapter 1042: The First Among All Clans

“We meet again.”

Inside the treasury of the City Lord’s Mansion in Jiguang City, as soon as Chen Fei stepped in, Zhuo Mingyong’s voice reached his ears.

“I’ve seen Senior!” Upon seeing Zhuo Mingyong emerge from the shadows, Chen Fei greeted him with cupped fists.

“You’ve performed very well, the choice you made earlier was the right one.”

Zhuo Mingyong’s eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Chen Fei. Slaying eight early-stage Rule Integration Realm opponents in quick succession, nothing could prove Chen Fei’s talent more than this.

Though Zhuo Mingyong had long since withdrawn from worldly affairs within the City Lord’s Mansion, the boost in morale that Chen Fei’s actions had given the human race was echoed throughout the mansion. Zhuo Mingyong could not have remained ignorant even if he wished to.

It had only been a year since Chen Fei’s last visit to the treasury, and already he had cultivated the Emperor inheritances to this extent.

The title of a genius was indeed well-deserved.

“Senior flatters me,” Chen Fei said modestly.

“What do you seek from the treasury this time?” Zhuo Mingyong asked with a slight smile.

“These spirit materials, exchange them all for low-grade Primordial Crystals, and also the remaining Emperor Realm inheritances,” Chen Fei said as he handed over his token to Zhuo Mingyong.

“The remaining Emperor Realm inheritances?” Zhuo Mingyong was slightly startled, thinking he had heard wrong, so he quickly probed into the token with his mental defense.

A short time later, Zhuo Mingyong withdrew his mental defense from the token, still with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Weng Zongfang and the other human imperial sovereigns had actually agreed to let Chen Fei examine the remaining Emperor Realm inheritances.

It was an ironclad rule not to cultivate other Emperor Realm inheritances governed by different Rules unless one reached the peak of the Rule Integration Realm, to prevent those in the Rule Integration Realm from straying off the path.

Yet today, this rule had been broken for Chen Fei.

Zhuo Mingyong looked at Chen Fei, thought for a moment, but in the end, he chose not to persuade him otherwise.

Since the other imperial sovereigns had agreed to it, any advice from him seemed meaningless.

“Which spirit materials do you want to exchange?” Zhuo Mingyong asked.

“All of these for low-grade Primordial Crystals, please help me with this, Senior,” Chen Fei replied.

Chen Fei took out the thirty-seven portions of sixth-tier top-grade spirit material he had obtained, handing them over to Zhuo Mingyong.

“These spirit materials are all quite rare, with varying prices. I’ll convert them for you using the current market rate,” said Zhuo Mingyong as he meticulously inspected each batch of sixth-tier top-grade spirit materials. Their high value meant that even if they were offered by Chen Fei, Zhuo Mingyong would still personally verify them.

After a short time, Zhuo Mingyong found no issues and stored away all thirty-seven portions of spirit material.

“If you have any spirit materials or mystical treasures that you don’t need, you can also bring them out, and I’ll convert them at the market price,” Zhuo Mingyong offered as he looked at Chen Fei.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Chen Fei was momentarily stunned, then a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. He brought out the inferior-grade mystical treasures he had acquired, along with the spirit materials that he did not need.

Out of the eight Rule Integration Realm opponents, seven were near the peak of the early stage. Though Si Sheng’s realm had not reached this level, as a prodigy of the Evil Clans, the materials and low-grade Primordial Crystals within his mystical treasures were also quite substantial.

Initially, Chen Fei had only intended to sell the sixth-tier top-grade spirit materials at the City Lord’s Mansion, as dealing with materials of this level could be quite time-consuming.

Given the human race’s current special circumstances, with everyone busy resisting the Ice Race and the Evil Clans, organizing a trade fair for those in the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm was not so simple.

Selling to the City Lord’s Mansion was the simplest option, especially since Chen Fei only needed low-grade Primordial Crystals.

As for the spirit materials obtained from the eight early-stage Rule Integration Realm opponents of Si Sheng, those could be sold at the black market fairly quickly, which was not really a hassle.

But now that Zhuo Mingyong was willing to help, Chen Fei naturally couldn’t ask for more, and he even saved himself a trip to the black market.

Zhuo Mingyong, observing the mystical treasures and the numerous batches of sixth-tier low-grade spirit materials floating before him, was rather moved.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Together with the previously mentioned sixth-tier top-grade spirit materials, it was hard to imagine that these belonged to someone who had broken through to the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm less than two years ago.

Even if a late-stage Rule Integration Realm practitioner was to be considered, they wouldn’t have this much wealth at their disposal.

If it weren’t for these unusual times, any late-stage Rule Integration Realm practitioner learning of Chen Fei’s assets would likely target him with assassination attempts the moment he left the border.

In the past, the human race was more unified, but people are unpredictable. Without strong external pressure, personal desires inevitably would prevail.

“A total of two million three hundred and seventy thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals, see if there’s any issue,” Zhuo Mingyong said as he handed over an inferior-grade Celestial Treasure.

Chen Fei glanced at the amount of low-grade Primordial Crystals within the Celestial Treasure and couldn’t help but smile.

Any Rule Integration Realm person seeing such a quantity of low-grade Primordial Crystals would undoubtedly show a smile, for the amount was indeed vast.

Within the Concealment Bell, there were already about one hundred and fifty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals, which were from the mystical treasures of the eight Rule Integration Realm adversaries that Si Sheng had stored up, in addition to some of Chen Fei’s own.

With these two million three hundred and seventy thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals, along with Chen Fei’s own pocket, Chen Fei’s total low-grade Primordial Crystals instantly skyrocketed to a staggering two million five hundred and twenty thousand.

Given Chen Fei’s prior rate of cultivating two thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals a day, these two million five hundred and twenty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals would be enough for Chen Fei to cultivate continuously for over one thousand two hundred days without interruption.

For the foreseeable future, Chen Fei wouldn’t need to worry about a shortage of low-grade Primordial Crystals.

As for the inferior-grade mystical treasures he obtained from killing Lou Yu and the other five, Chen Fei still had two in his possession and wasn’t in a hurry.

When he had some time, he could go to the black market and sell these inferior-grade mystical treasures directly.

“The count is correct, thank you, Senior.” Chen Fei transferred the low-grade Primordial Crystals from the Celestial Treasure to the Concealment Bell, then returned the Celestial Treasure to Zhuo Mingyong.

“Come with me, the Emperor inheritances are this way.”

Zhuo Mingyong nodded and led Chen Fei forward.

“Hum!”

Chen Fei took a few steps and sensed some subtle fluctuations sweeping over his body.

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered slightly. The last time he had come to the treasury, his cultivation had been too weak to sense these restriction fluctuations.

Now, with the improvement in his cultivation, he could perceive even these concealed restrictions.

In just a few steps, the two arrived at a row of bookshelves, upon which were neatly arranged fifty-seven Emperor Realm inheritances of the human race.

“Last time, you already looked through the introductions of these inheritances, so there’s no need to do so again. I will give you the inheritance stones directly,” Zhuo Mingyong said as he waved his hand lightly, causing the Emperor inheritances on the bookshelves to tremble slightly. Ray after ray of light flew out from the inheritances, then condensed into fifty-two inheritance stones in mid-air, which landed in front of Zhuo Mingyong.

Zhuo Mingyong scanned the inheritance stones and, not finding any missing, pushed them towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei respectfully took the fifty-two Emperor Realm inheritances, a slight excitement in his gaze.

Once he refined these fifty-two Emperor Realm inheritances into the Desolate Universe God Splitting Sword, the number one martial arts of the human race would be born.

Of course, such martial arts would only be suitable for Chen Fei to cultivate. Presenting such a cultivation method to others in the Rule Integration Realm—let alone the difficulty—the need to simultaneously cultivate so many secondary Rules would surely dissuade them.

The new martial arts would be a tremendous boost for Chen Fei, but for others of the human race, it would indisputably be an inheritance that could ruin their prospects.

“Do you need anything else?” Zhuo Mingyong asked with a smile, seeing that Chen Fei had put away the fifty-two Emperor Realm inheritances.

“No, thank you for your help, Senior.” Chen Fei shook his head, already somewhat impatient to go to the cultivation room and integrate all the Emperor Realm inheritances together.

“Cultivate well, the future of the human race depends on you to uphold it!” Zhuo Mingyong nodded, expressing his great expectations to Chen Fei.

A short time later, Chen Fei left the city lord’s mansion.

He thought about whether he should return to Primordial Courtyard to see his master and the others, and possibly discuss cultivation insights with Chi Yuqing and Tong Linyun.

In the end, he couldn’t resist the temptation of the human race’s number one martial arts and went straight to Jiguang Mountain, where he opened a cultivation room.

Inside the cultivation room, Chen Fei sat cross-legged, placing the fifty-two inheritance stones around him. He picked up one at random and started reading it carefully.

The human race had a total of fifty-seven Emperor Realm inheritances, containing cultivation methods for twenty-three secondary Rules.

Most secondary Rules are roughly equal in terms of battle strength, but there are indeed a few that stand out more than others.

Such as the Space Rules, the Rule of Strength, and the Causality Rule.

If one could comprehend the Time Rule, that would be extraordinary, a genuine Supreme Rule that towers above all others.

Even the Power Rule, which boasts the ability to “Power Breaks All Laws,” is, in some ways, inferior to the Time Rule.

Of course, Chen Fei doesn’t actually know what would happen if the Power Rule and the Time Rule truly collided. After all, such matters are too distant from Chen Fei. The human race has never produced a seventh-level Open Heaven Realm practitioner, so naturally, there is no record of this in the books, and if there is, it’s simply hearsay and cannot be relied upon.

But, if both are secondary Rules, the Time Secondary Rules would definitely come out on top over the secondary Power Rule.

In the fifty-seven Emperor Realm inheritances of the human race, there are as many as six martial arts that are cultivated for the secondary Rule of Strength, all emphasizing flesh power.

But there are none for cultivating the Time Secondary Rule.

None of the races around have mentioned having an Emperor inheritance that includes a method for cultivating the Time Secondary Rule.

The Time Rule can be sensed, but no race among those nearby has managed to cultivate it.

This fact alone shows just how special the Time Rule is.

After all, even the Space Secondary Rule, which ranks second, has been cultivated by the human race.

Chen Fei focused single-mindedly, reading each inheritance in turn.

After spending a full ten days, Chen Fei finally finished reading all fifty-two Emperor Realm inheritances and completed the recording of the cultivation methods for all fifty-two martial arts on his panel.

“Merge!”

Following Chen Fei’s command, the Desolate Universe God Splitting Sword began to integrate with the other fifty-two Emperor Realm inheritances.

With so many Emperor Realm inheritances, a hierarchy had to be established, with Space Rule being the main one chosen by Chen Fei.

“Martial arts detected, Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword!”
