Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 896: Sun Moon Four Extremes

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The innate abilities possessed by the main body were also present in the Demonic Body, and thus, the innate abilities Rebirth. From the second Demonic Body onward, they were all fully developed.

However, the Rebirth of innate abilities was useless for the Demonic Body. Chen Fei’s method of absorbing the Demonic Body involved directly advancing the stagnated proficiency of the Six Desires Demonic Separation.

Normally, once the proficiency of the Six Desires Demonic Separation reached a certain level, it stopped advancing unless the Demonic Body was consumed, in which case the proficiency would continue to grow.

Chen Fei reversed this process by advancing the stagnant proficiency, causing the technique to believe the Demonic Body had failed, so all the essence flowed back to the main body.

The essence of the Rebirth innate abilities, entrusted in the void, was composed of essence itself, which the Six Desires Demonic Separation automatically devoured.

Thus, while the Rebirth of innate abilities was useful to others, Chen Fei did not need to seek the essence in the void—it was directly consumed.

In the Tingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fei diligently practiced the Stellar Divine Technique Sun Moon Chapter.

As the proficiency of the Stellar Divine Technique Sun Moon Chapter continued to increase, the twelve divine palaces had gathered together, and the fourteen innate abilities transmitted their power through the formation patterns.

Chen Fei had hesitated for a period but eventually chose the Unblemished Divine Vision as the foundation for his divine seed, using other innate abilities as resources.

Chen Fei had considered the innate ability of the Heaven’s Overlord Blood but ultimately decided against it.

This was ultimately an innate ability of another race, and turning it into a divine ability for the future might have caused unknown changes in his body. Compared to Heaven’s Overlord Blood, the innate ability of the Unblemished Divine Vision posed no problems and was absolutely suited to the human race.

Chen Fei’s understanding of the future path of martial arts was still at the level of the Sun Moon Divine Art Realm, or rather, still within the Stellar Divine Technique Sun Moon Chapter.

Although Chen Fei was currently in the Mountain Sea Realm and could perform various incredible feats, such as managing twelve divine palaces and fourteen innate abilities, these were based on his understanding of the Mountain Sea Realm. He only undertook these actions because he knew they wouldn’t harm him.

Chen Fei could be said to have a level of understanding of the Mountain Sea Realm that even the top practitioners of the Sun Moon Realm in the Sacred Lands might not surpass.

Practitioners of the Sun Moon Realm often had a broad perspective, but in practical operation, Chen Fei might have even surpassed them.

Thus, while Chen Fei’s cultivation in the Mountain Sea Realm appeared fantastical, he preferred to follow a methodical approach for realms beyond the Mountain Sea Realm.

According to the Stellar Divine Technique Sun Moon Chapter, after refining innate abilities into a divine seed, breaking through the shackles was akin to reaching the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

The Sacred Master of the Stellar Sacred Land, Zhan Xuming, had been very generous and provided a jade slip containing cultivation methods from the early stage to the peak of the Sun Moon Realm.

Regardless of the level of the Stellar Divine Technique within the Sun Moon Realm inheritance, this Stellar Divine Palace had allowed Chen Fei to understand what the Sun Moon Realm truly entailed.

Many practitioners of the Mountain Sea Realm who broke through to the Sun Moon Realm chose to accumulate their energy, spirit, and soul before breaking through the bottleneck and entering the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

This method made the breakthrough somewhat easier, but once in the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm, they needed to refine their innate abilities into divine seeds for it to truly be considered the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm. In the Sun Moon Realm, there were no longer divine palaces within the body. At the moment of breakthrough, the divine palaces were refined into a single origin point.

The innate abilities within the divine palaces were also contained within this origin point.

Since the innate abilities were not refined into divine seeds beforehand, during the breakthrough, some innate ability information might have shattered due to mutual compression, reducing their power.

Thus, after reaching the Sun Moon Realm, extracting and refining innate abilities into divine seeds from the origin point would inevitably reduce their power.

However, many people were more concerned with whether they could break through to the Sun Moon Realm. As for the power of the divine seeds, it could be gradually strengthened through subsequent cultivation.

The early stage of the Sun Moon Realm focused on refining divine seeds and the origin point.

When the divine seed had fully transformed into a true divine ability and the origin point was sufficient, it could be used to impact the origin point and expand it.

Unlike the Mountain Sea Realm, the Sun Moon Realm did not require cultivation through nine levels of the Nine Palaces.

The Sun Moon Divine Art Realm was also known as the Four Extremes. Each extreme represented an advancement in the realm.

Completing the Four Extremes achieved the peak of the Sun Moon Realm.

The so-called Four Extremes were essentially the origin point.

At the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm, the origin point was indeed just a tiny point, the beginning of all things. What needed to be done in the Sun Moon Realm was to continuously cultivate and expand it.

By the peak of the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm, the origin point had grown significantly, but it was still essentially a point. To reach the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, one needed to transform the divine seed into a divine ability and then impact the origin point to elongate it.

This meant transforming the origin point into a towering pillar with length and width, where the so-called “Two Extremes” were essentially the length and width.

The third extreme of the Sun Moon Realm involved adding a height dimension to the origin point. This height dimension required a new divine ability to anchor it.

At this point, the origin point had actually become a small space, a unique space within the body.

The fourth extreme of the Sun Moon Realm added another divine ability to the origin space, introducing the concept of spatial flow and fully forming the space.

With the formation of the space, the power of the Sun Moon Realm underwent a tremendous change and enhancement.

At this stage, practitioners of the Sun Moon Realm rarely worried about insufficient primordial force because the internal space had already accumulated a sufficient amount of power.

This was also a crucial reason why those at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm could traverse the void.

With a source of power and a concept of space within the body, resistance to the void naturally improved significantly. As long as one was not in the void for an extended period, the problems were minimal.

Chen Fei cultivated the divine seed directly in the Mountain Sea Realm. Otherwise, using ordinary methods to break through would have resulted in significant losses of the fourteen innate abilities, rendering Chen Fei’s previous efforts futile.

On the twelfth day, the fourth Demonic Body was devoured by Chen Fei, and his essence continued to strengthen.

On the morning of the eighteenth day, the fifth Demonic Body was also devoured.

As Chen Fei grew stronger, the Demonic Bodies he split off naturally became stronger as well. However, no matter how strong these Demonic Bodies were, the final result remained unchanged.

The later Demonic Bodies attempted to learn from the failures of the earlier ones, but the earlier failures were inexplicable, making it impossible to derive any useful experience.

For others practicing the Six Desires Demonic Separation, the difficulty of cultivation increased with each subsequent Demonic Body, eventually leading to failure.

But for Chen Fei, this situation did not exist. He waited for the Demonic Bodies to grow, met them, absorbed the essence, and then continued to split the Demonic Bodies.

Cultivating the Six Desires Demonic Separation gave Chen Fei the illusion that others were working for him.

As long as some time passed, his power would increase incrementally.

If Chen Fei aimed to complete the Six Desires Demonic Separation in a short time, he could have used minimal heavenly and earthly treasures and let the Demonic Bodies seek them out themselves.

Just like the first Demonic Body, which had grown in this manner.

With the sixth Demonic Body cultivating outside, Chen Fei’s main body practiced in the Tingfeng Pavilion.

Suddenly, Chen Fei’s eyes opened, and he looked with some confusion towards the southwestern region of the Boundless Sea, then towards the central hall.

The Heart of Sincerity was fluctuating, indicating that something related to Chen Fei was happening.

Chen Fei furrowed his brows slightly. The warning from his Heart of Sincerity was still quite vague, and he couldn’t discern exactly what was happening, but it was evident that it involved visitors from the Return to Nothing Realm.

In the southwestern region of the Boundless Sea, at the location of the spatial passage on Thousand Rocks Mountain:

Since the arrival of visitors from the Return to Nothing Realm, a fortress had been established here to guard the spatial passage.

After nearly a month of expansion, the power of this spatial passage had finally increased a notch.

Compared to its initial formation, the spatial passage had now doubled in size. “Buzz!”

A ripple spread out from the spatial passage, and six figures emerged. Leading them was a practitioner at the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, while the other five were at the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

“Brother Nie, you finally arrived,” PanQingwu said, stepping forward with a smile and cupping his hands.

Pang Changping and the others stood behind, their expressions showing slight excitement.

Over twenty days ago, Pan Qingwu had come from the Return to Nothing Realm to the Boundless Sea, depleting the power of the spatial passage. Pang Changping and the others had to wait for the passage to stabilize before they could proceed to the Return to Nothing Realm.

Now that the spatial passage was stable, they finally had the opportunity to leave the Boundless Sea and continue improving their cultivation.

“Brother Pan, you’ve worked hard.”

Nie Shengyun sensed the spiritual energy of the Boundless Sea and the oppressive atmosphere, and couldn’t help but frown.

With Nie Shengyun’s peak mid-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivation, he could clearly feel the suppression from the Boundless Sea on him.

“It’s nothing. Just doing my job; there’s no talk of hardship,” PanQingwu said, waving his hand.

Nie Shengyun nodded, glanced at Pang Changping and the others, and then looked at Pan Qingwu. “Is everything in order?”

“We’re making arrangements, just waiting for Brother Nie to arrive,” Pan Qingwu said with a hint of a smile.

In the Tingfeng Pavilion of the Sacred City:

Chen Fei appeared in the courtyard. The warning from his Heart of Sincerity was growing stronger, and continuing to practice in isolation was no longer feasible.

Moments later, at the City Lord’s Mansion of Thousand Geese City:

“I have a bad premonition, so I plan to leave the Sacred City. Are you willing to come with me?” Chen Fei asked Zhao Ruizheng and the others.

Chen Fei decided to leave the Sacred City, as the warning from his Heart of Sincerity indicated that staying here was not a good idea.

Chen Fei would, of course, take everyone from the Primordial Sword Sect with him. He also wanted to consult Zhao Ruizheng and the others, along with the former forces of Thousand Geese City.

Zhao Ruizheng and the others were surprised. Given Chen Fei’s current reputation in the Boundless Sea, if there was danger, it could only be from the Sun Moon Realm.

They exchanged glances and all nodded in agreement.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Fei floated in mid-air, holding the Profound Heavenly Ring. Thousand Geese City trembled violently before slowly lifting off and flying towards the Profound Heavenly Ring.

The Profound Heavenly Ring was a top-quality spirit treasure that Chen Fei had obtained after killing the Black Divine’s supporter.

Thousand Geese City grew smaller and smaller as it ascended, until it eventually vanished into the Profound Heavenly Ring.
