Dream Entry Technique!

This was the technique left in the crystal. However, what gave Chen Fei a headache was that this crystal was not complete. According to the information above, a complete crystal should consist of five pieces, but what Chen Fei held in his hand was only the first piece.

So, the Dream Entry Technique that Chen Fei had obtained was only a small part of it. When practicing it, if he were facing someone with weaker mental power or less pure mental power than his own, this Dream Entry Technique could still be used.

After all, this Dream Entry Technique was indeed a formidable mental technique. It could lead people into a dream world, making it difficult for others to detect any issues.

However, if someone’s mental power was stronger than Chen Fei’s, they would quickly discover its flaws. In that case, if the opponent followed the dream and directly attacked his Core Soul Origin, it could become a significant problem.

It was somewhat similar to what Chen Fei did to deal with the Evil in Pingyin

County.

Chen Fei shook his head with a bitter smile. This incomplete Dream Entry Technique was actually quite good. Moreover, this crystal could directly enhance the power of the dream world.

Wearing this crystal for an extended period allowed it to actively absorb the natural aura of the world, aiding in the growth of mental power.

Considering how fast the power of the Evil in Pingyin County was growing, the role of this crystal was probably significant.

But to say it was powerful, well, it was not much use against those stronger than oneself. It seemed to be not much different from the usual mental techniques, all of which could only be used to bully those weaker than oneself.

“It’s not completely useless, it just depends on the context.

Chen Fei thought for a moment and decided that when he had time, he would practice this Dream Entry Technique. Perhaps it could come in handy in the future.

Chen Fei looked around, and since he had come all this way, he decided to kill a

Tier 2 Evil and then refine it into his own mental power.

At the same time, Chen Fei also wanted to see if he could get lucky and find a few pieces of Strange Heart Stones.

Recently, the Heart Refining Formation had been running, and the consumption of Strange Heart Stones was significant. Unfortunately, the appearance of these stones was quite irregular. Every time Chen Fei came to the Strange Heart Realm, he had to rely on luck to find a few pieces to ensure the Heart Refining Formation could be activated.

Using Star Gazing Art, the distant presence began to appear in Chen Fei’s perception. After a moment, a slight smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face as he sensed a Tier 2 Evil.

Chen Fei returned to reality first, cleared the spatial grid, and then reappeared in the Strange Heart Realm. His figure flickered as he ran towards the left.

In less than fifteen minutes, Chen Fei stood before a black mist. Within the black mist, the Tier 2 Evil sensed Chen Fei’s arrival and stared at him with a cold gaze.

Chen Fei was about to step in and slay the Tier 2 Evil when he suddenly turned his head and looked back. There, he sensed a massive power fluctuation.

After coming to the Strange Heart Realm so many times, Chen Fei had never sensed such a fluctuation before.

It wasn’t that this fluctuation was so strong that it was overwhelming, but rather that in the Strange Heart Realm, such fluctuations were almost unheard of.

Among Evils, there were instances of them devouring each other, but when they did, it was usually quiet, and even if they were a bit far apart, it might go unnoticed.

Therefore, this recent fluctuation was definitely not the result of Evils fighting each other. Instead, it indicated that a practitioner like Chen Fei was engaged in a battle with Evils.

Moreover, the one sensing the disturbance was at least at the third level or higher, which meant they were at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm or beyond to produce such a fluctuation.

“Which of the three is it?” Chen Fei wondered. However, he decided to charge into the black mist first and faced the Tier 2 Evil head-on, attacking it with a flurry of Godslayer Sword.

When Chen Fei chose Evils, in the vast majority of cases, he went for those in the early or middle stages of the second tier, rarely touching Evils in the late stages or higher. It wasn’t because he couldn’t defeat them, but rather because unexpected incidents could occur.

Tier 2 Evils in the early or middle stages might have slightly fewer origins, but they were easier to defeat. With the then slashes of the Godslayer Sword, he could resolve the battle on the spot, and unexpected incidents were rare.

If something did go wrong, he could just throw another ten slashes again, ensuring that nothing unexpected happened.

Inside the black mist, Chen Fei drew the origin of the Evil into the spatial grid. He then turned to look into the distance where the battle had not yet ended.

Chen Fei hesitated for a moment, activated the Star Gazing Art, and extended it towards that direction.

The Star Gazing Art was almost tailor-made for the Strange Heart Realm. As Chen Fei continued to invest his mental power, the range of the Star Gazing Art began to extend further and further.

When Chen Fei’s mental power was depleted by about thirty percent, he finally saw the scene of the ongoing battle in the distance.

“Jian Jinsheng?”

Recognizing the figure and especially the aura emanating from him, Chen Fei immediately identified the person in the battle. It was Jian Jinsheng, a Combined Aperture Tempering realm powerhouse from the Divine Flame Sect.

At this moment, Jian Jinsheng was executing a sword technique, one sword following another, continuously severing the body of a distant Tier-3 Evil. Despite the constant regeneration of the Tier-3 Evil’s body, its aura was clearly weakening.

Even though they were far apart, the aura of Jian Jinsheng’s sword technique remained terrifyingly sharp, as if it could slice through the soul. Chen Fei glanced at it a few times and felt a sharp pain in his eyes.

Satisfied with his curiosity, Chen Fei intended to dispel the Star Gazing Art. After all, such surveillance was easily detectable by powerhouses like Jian Jinsheng, and they might counteract it.

■Wait a minute!”

Chen Fei was about to dispel the Star Gazing Art when suddenly his heart trembled. He looked at Jian Jinsheng more carefully. With just one glance, Chen Fei confirmed that he hadn’t misperceived earlier.

Jian Jinsheng’s mental strength was not at the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm; he had already reached the mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Within the Strange Heart Realm, there were many Tier-3 Evils, and Chen Fei had observed them through the Star Gazing Art at various stages. Therefore, he easily noticed the anomaly in Jian Jinsheng’s mental state.

The mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm mental strength was a significant advantage. Although it didn’t necessarily represent a mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivation, it meant that Jian Jinsheng would face fewer obstacles when trying to break through to the mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Even if Jian Jinsheng hadn’t made the breakthrough yet, with the mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm mental strength combined with his early Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivation, battling opponents of the same stage wouldn’t be as difficult as one might think.

“Immortal Cloud Sword Sect is in danger!

Tong Zhongqiu of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was already nearing the end of his life, and his combat strength was continuously declining. If he encountered Jian Jinsheng, he might be forcibly killed.

Of course, Jian Jinsheng would also inevitably be injured, as they hadn’t reached a crushing level of power.

If Tong Zhongqiu died, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect would be directly disbanded. Would the other sects in the alliance before, including the Divine Flame Sect, seek retribution?

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Jian Jinsheng’s gaze shifted, looking towards the direction where Chen Fei was.

In the void of the Strange Heart Realm, it seemed that a sharp sword light was following the trajectory of the Star Gazing Art, slashing its way towards them.

Chen Fei’s heart jumped, and he quickly formed hand seals, activating the Slaughter Spirit Technique to extinguish his own aura. Then, he disappeared directly within the Strange Heart Realm.

“Swish!”

A ripple passed through the void, and the black mist where Chen Fei had just been split silently in half. A fine sword mark appeared on the ground, seemingly bottomless.

Jian Jinsheng withdrew his gaze, not having sensed what had been observing him. His brows furrowed slightly. However, the Strange Heart Realm was inherently mystical, and there were many things that even Jian Jinsheng had blind spots for.

Back in Pingyin County, Chen Fei opened his eyes, exhaling a sigh of relief. Chen Fei absentmindedly formed hand seals, tossing the Evil origin into the Heart Refining Formation. In his mind, he kept thinking about what he needed to do next.

Plans couldn’t keep up with the changes, and it seemed that no one had anticipated how quickly Jian Jinsheng’s strength would grow.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had no chance of victory anymore. The probability of Jian Jinsheng breaking through to the mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm in the future was too high. Even if the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had two Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators in the early stage, they wouldn’t be able to defeat Jian Jinsheng.

At that point, despite the vastness of this dynasty, there would be no place for the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect to exist, and the same would apply to the Primordial Sword Sect as an alliance member.

Chen Fei reached out and absorbed the Evil origin within the Heart Refining Formation into his mental power. With everything in order, he headed straight for the Primordial Sword Sect.

This matter had to be reported back.

Both the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Primordial Sword Sect needed to prepare for this situation. Otherwise, they faced the imminent danger of destruction..
