Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques Chapter 1070: Chapter 1026: Rough

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1026: Rough

“Senior Chen, what’s the matter?” Yuan Bizheng asked, seeing Chen Fei stop, his curiosity apparent.

“It’s nothing, let’s continue on our way,” Chen Fei said with a smile, shaking his head.

A thousand miles away, the recently crushed figures of Chen Fei and Yuan Bizheng were both warriors conjured by Chen Fei.

Originally following Yuan Bizheng’s designated route, Chen Fei had barely traveled a few hundred miles when he sensed something was amiss.

Following this, Chen Fei immediately altered their route and summoned two warriors to impersonate himself and Yuan Bizheng.

One was to confuse any observers, and the other was so Chen Fei could see who would attempt to strike at him.

As Chen Fei’s cultivation increased, the power of the warriors had not enhanced much, but with his continuous understanding of the s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules, Chen Fei was able to increase the extreme distance between himself and the warriors considerably.

When the two warriors were crushed moments ago, they did not resist excessively; they merely observed to see who was attacking.

However, the attacker, who was at the Rule Integration Realm, was extremely cautious and did not reveal themselves at all; the warriors only sensed the fluctuations of power typical of the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm.

The five lost lives in the Rule Integration Realm in Lou Yu, although not yet confirmed to be Chen Fei’s doing, made it impossible to send someone from the early stages of Rule Integration Realm to kill Chen Fei now.

If someone were to make a move, it would at least be someone from the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm or higher, using absolute power to eliminate any accidents.

“Is it the human race?” Chen Fei’s gaze flickered.

Given the high likelihood of human traitors, who avoided showing their faces, it was very possible; after all, if it were from the Evil Clans or the Ice Race, even if Chen Fei saw their features, what would it matter?

Only the human race, fearing the failure of their sneak attack, would go as far as not revealing any trace of their appearance.

Chen Fei focused his mental defense and pondered no further; together with Yuan Bizheng, he headed determinedly toward Jiguang City.

Confronted with the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm, even if he couldn’t win, escaping unscathed was still not a problem for Chen Fei now.

His biggest reliance was naturally the powerful physique formed by Celestial Suppression.

Eleven Power Rule Fragments, conservatively estimated, were equivalent to about fifty or sixty Secondary Rule Fragments.

That is to say, in terms of physique, Chen Fei was already not much different from someone in the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm.

Chen Fei still could not achieve victory across different ranks, and the primary reason was that his elemental power and soul were far too inferior compared to those in the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm.

This world’s mainstream cultivation method is from the inside out.

From the soul to the Source Point s.p.a.ce, then to elemental power, and finally affecting the physique.

It’s not just the Rule Integration Realm that does this, from the first-level of Body Tempering Realm, the most crucial is also the inner synergy, followed by physique.

It’s not that physique isn’t important, but cultivating elemental power eventually strengthens the physique as well. It’s more efficient!

Of course, there are martial arts that specifically favor physique, and cultivators practicing such martial arts would be somewhat stronger than their peers at the same rank, giving them some advantages in compet.i.tions.

But correspondingly, such cultivation is considerably more difficult.

It depends on each cultivator’s choice, whether they want simpler cultivation or stronger battle strength.

Now, facing someone from the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm, Chen Fei’s physique was comparable, but his elemental power and soul were not; however, his martial arts might not necessarily be inferior.

After all, the Desolate Universe G.o.d Splitting Sword was stronger than many inheritances from the Emperor Realm and he had reached Perfection in it, something many at the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm probably couldn’t match.

So, the most Chen Fei could do was to escape unscathed; winning was very unlikely due to foundational differences.

Having only broken through to the Rule Integration Realm a year ago, doing this much was something Chen Fei was quite satisfied with.

The panel was a huge boost, but ultimately it required time to manifest and could not appear out of nowhere.

Just like a genius’s talent, even if they could learn instantly and induce further understanding from one instance, achieving a breakthrough in realm still required step-by-step progression, though they would be much faster than other cultivators.

Chen Fei had the panel and now his insight had also improved, so his future cultivation speed would only get faster.

Therefore, now facing attacks from the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm or higher, it was best for Chen Fei to avoid them altogether, as there was no need to truly engage hard and risk everything, especially since the Evil Clans’ late-stage Rule Integration Realm forces were not far off.

Engaging with combatants at this level introduces too many variables.

A thousand miles away, Sun Guangyuan’s figure vanished into thin air, his expression gloomy as he observed the shattered warriors below.

Having made this special trip, he hadn’t expected such an outcome.

Sun Guangyuan waved his hand, erasing all traces of himself from the area before disappearing.

This Chen Fei was too difficult to kill, and despite Sun Guangyuan’s unawareness of the specific reasons why the Evil Clans and Ice Race had so greatly increased their rewards for Chen Fei,

he deduced it was likely because they perceived Chen Fei’s potential as too strong to allow him to continue growing and becoming a threat to both races.

Sun Guangyuan also could not afford to let Chen Fei continue cultivating; otherwise, Chen Fei would certainly become a great threat in the future!

In less than half an hour, Chen Fei and Yuan Bizheng safely returned to Jiguang City, encountering no further threats along the way.

Back in Jiguang City, Yuan Bizheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yuan Bizheng had not been aware of what exactly had happened en route, Chen Fei’s sudden change in their path clearly indicated he had sensed something out of the ordinary.

Had they continued on the initial route, they would likely have encountered danger.

Whether Chen Fei would be affected by it, Yuan Bizheng did not know, but he, a Sun Moon Realm partic.i.p.ant in a Rule Integration Realm conflict, would undoubtedly die without question.

“Senior Chen, I must return to report my duties, so I’ll take my leave now,” Yuan Bizheng said, clasping his hands towards Chen Fei on the street.

“You’ve worked hard,” Chen Fei said with a smile and a nod.

“Senior, you’re too kind,” Yuan Bizheng replied with a smile, bowing to Chen Fei before heading in the direction of the city lord’s mansion.

Chen Fei watched Yuan Bizheng’s figure fade away and paused for a moment.

The encirclement of Moya Mountain was likely to come to an indecisive end.

A moment later, Chen Fei returned to the courtyard where Sect Leader Qu Qingsheng and others lived.

Seeing Chen Fei’s return, Qu Qingsheng and the others couldn’t help but smile.

Because Chen Fei had taken the task of guarding Moya Mountain, as Chen Fei’s relatives, Qu Qingsheng and the others were exempted from conscription.

Among them, the strongest was only at the Mountain Sea Realm, an abundantly available rank among the cultivators within Jiguang City.

This was considered a trade-off, after all, the value produced by Chen Fei at the Rule Integration Realm was far beyond what any number of those at the Mountain Sea Realm could match.

Whether Qu Qingsheng and the others partic.i.p.ated in the external wars or not, it would have no impact on the outcome of the war.

“Did you encounter any dangers?” Qu Qingsheng and the others surrounded Chen Fei, showing concern.

The battle with the Ice Race and Evil Clans was a struggle of life and death, with no second possibility.

Although they were not involved in the war, the atmosphere throughout Jiguang City was always extremely somber.

“I can handle it, don’t worry,”

Chen Fei smiled and then turned his head to look at Chi Yuqing and Tong Linyun, only to find that the two had already broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Having been in Jiguang City for nearly a year, both were initially at the pinnacle of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. With abundant resources and in a wartime atmosphere, both had successfully advanced to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Chen Fei had initially taken ten people into Qiankun Mansion. Over the past few years, eight of them had seen significant changes in their cultivation.

Sect Leader Qu Qingsheng, Elder Zhou Zixun, Master Feng Xiupu, Chi Yuqing, and Tong Linyun—five of them—all reached the Mountain Sea Realm, although still at the early stages, which was vastly different from their initial status.

Elder Guo Linshan, Elder Sister Zhang Fangqiong, Chi Defeng, Si Yinan, and Si Yuanhai all reached the Combined Aperture stage, and with the lifespan of the Combined Aperture Realm, they had enough time to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

If the cultivation environment and resources in the Return to Nothing Realm kept up, reaching the Mountain Sea Realm was not particularly difficult.

For the human race, the Sun Moon Realm was the real significant barrier.

“When encountering danger, safety is still the most important!” Feng Xiupu thought for a moment and quietly reminded.

Although Chen Fei’s current realm had reached the Rule Integration Realm, stronger by far than theirs,

the affairs of the world are often interconnected, and wouldn’t change just because of the advancement in realm.

“I’ve always kept Master’s teachings in my heart,” Chen Fei couldn’t help but grin.

When he had first joined under Feng Xiupu, what Feng Xiupu most advocated was perfecting body movements.

Being proficient in body movement afforded tremendous advantages whether in combat or fleeing.

This philosophy was tied to Feng Xiupu’s own experiences; having suffered setbacks because of it, Feng Xiupu hoped these would not recur with Chen Fei.

Back then, Feng Xiupu’s philosophy had matched perfectly with the younger Chen Fei, who believed that it was acceptable to be unable to overpower others, but one must never be outpaced.

Thus, Chen Fei had been exceedingly enthusiastic about all sorts of body movements, and this habit had continued to the present.

Previously outside Jiguang City, it was because of such a mindset that Chen Fei had not thought to forcefully contend against a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm; it wasn’t worth it.

Because Chen Fei’s strength could still improve rapidly, while for others, including those alien races, it was absolutely impossible to cultivate as swiftly as he did.

Frankly speaking, the future belonged to Chen Fei!

Elder brother Guo Linshan also grinned, and the whole courtyard lightened up with Chen Fei’s return.

An hour later, everyone dispersed to attend to their own matters.

Chen Fei, hand in hand with Chi Yuqing and Tong Linyun, entered the house to discuss questions about cultivation.

With the advancement in the girls’ cultivation realms, this discussion turned out to be notably longer and louder than previous ones.

Fortunately, the houses in the courtyard were soundproofed by formations, so there was no need to worry about disturbing others.

Early the next day, Chen Fei left the courtyard.

He went to Jiguang Mountain and opened a cultivation room there.

Previously, as the Evil Clans and the Ice Race encroached upon the city, the cultivation rooms on Jiguang Mountain had been shut down. Now, months later, Jiguang Mountain had reopened.

People who had completed their tasks could now continue to meditate there for a period.

Chen Fei stayed in the cultivation room for a few hours. As night fell, he changed his appearance and his aura, then left the cultivation room.

There was a black market within Jiguang City, a fact known to all at the Rule Integration Realm and permitted by the Emperor himself.

The cleanest waters do not harbor fish; many matters could not be suppressed merely by force, but systematic guidance could help keep these matters under control.

Chen Fei wandered around Jiguang City and arrived at a corner of the northern city wall. Stepping in, his surroundings immediately shifted.
