Chapter 650: A Cuckoo in the Nest

However, such power was easily obtained, yet the drawbacks were also significant.

Shen Yuanjun was refined into a sh.e.l.l, and the initial power came from here, from the mind!

Nurturing the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul was never about hoping for the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm, but rather to incite chaos within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, as well as controlling and breeding various Evil ent.i.ties.

Even at the appropriate moment, directly pulling out the Evil from the realm of the mind.

The Thousand Feathers Alliance needed to be in turmoil; only with enough chaos would human grievances gather, and the operation of the Minghe Record could absorb these grievances for its own use, enhancing its power.

Originally, many things in the Fallen Heaven Pavilion could only be done secretly, but the appearance of the Sea Monster gave the Fallen Heaven Pavilion a rare opportunity.

The entire Thousand Feathers Alliance, due to the occupation of many sea areas, became displaced and swallowed by the Sea Monster. This acc.u.mulated grievance was something that the Fallen Heaven Pavilion had been unable to acc.u.mulate over the years.

Shen Yuanjun’s power also surged during this period.

In this chaos, the Fallen Heaven Pavilion naturally allowed the increasing strangeness within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, and the grievances became even more terrifying.

The Bewilderment City was originally used to acc.u.mulate grievances, but its role has significantly diminished. Instead, it continued to place ordinary people into the Bewilderment City, mostly to serve as food for the Evil ent.i.ties within the mysterious realm.

Now, Shen Yuanjun’s power had reached a critical point. As long as all the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators dragged into the mysterious realm this time were killed, not even all of them were needed.

Only half of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators needed to die, with ninety percent of the eerie ent.i.ties used as nourishment, and Shen Yuanjun would have had a great chance to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Although it was only the Evil path of the Mountain Sea Realm, with many drawbacks, nonetheless, the Mountain Sea Realm was the Mountain Sea Realm, much stronger than the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

At the moment Shen Yuanjun broke through, Tan Bingxiu would enter Shen Yuanjun’s sh.e.l.l, seizing control like a cuckoo in another’s nest, with Tan Bingxiu becoming a true cultivator of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Once successful, the fate of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion would truly change!

“That Chen Fei’s talent, compared to Shen Yuanjun, was probably only stronger, not weaker!” whispered Si Huayuan.

Merely possessing the Minghe Record alone could not achieve the immense power of Shen Yuanjun today. Inside Shen Yuanjun’s sh.e.l.l, there was also the true form of the Minghe Record, a piece of black jade.

If Tan Bingxiu truly took over Shen Yuanjun’s sh.e.l.l and became a cultivator of the Mountain Sea Realm, then a portion of the black jade from the Minghe Record could be extracted, replicated, and used to continue refining new sh.e.l.ls for the Mountain Sea Realm.

Of course, to refine a sh.e.l.l, the black jade of the Minghe Record was indispensable, but a person with exceptional talent was also essential.

Shen Yuanjun met the criteria, so Shen Yuanjun was killed by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, he was dead!

Now, this Chen Fei also seemed to meet the criteria, so they had no reason to let him go.

Not to mention, daring to kill disciples of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, this person already had a reason to die.

“See if this person is here.” Tan Bingxiu waved his right hand, and a breath flew out from Shen Yuanjun’s body, landing in Tan Bingxiu’s hand.

Any Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator dragged into the mysterious realm this time had their breath recorded by the formation.

Chen Daoheng stepped forward to examine the breath in Tan Bingxiu’s hand.

There were more than a hundred breaths, ranging from the peak to the early stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Chen Daoheng identified them one by one, and soon his gaze locked firmly on one breath, with black light almost overflowing from his eyes.

For Chen Daoheng, this breath had left a deep impression; he would remember the person behind this breath until death.

“That’s him! That’s him!” Chen Daoheng growled fiercely, his face contorted in anger.

Tan Bingxiu’s expression shifted slightly, showing some surprise. He hadn’t expected Chen Fei to be dragged into this mysterious realm after all.

Well, that could only mean that this individual was fated to become a part of their Fallen Heaven Pavilion, serving as a stepping stone for the disciples of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion to enter the Mountain Sea Realm.

“Who should go and capture him?” Guo Xuanji chuckled.

As long as they were within the mysterious realm, whether to kill or capture was entirely up to them, with no possibility of a second outcome.

Even the formidable peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators were now at their mercy, with Elder Sun Congshu of the Heaven Wind Sect already dead and gone.

Let alone that Chen Fei was only in the mid-Combined Aperture Tempering realm; even if he were in the late or peak stages, he would have to bow down before them.

“To be able to kill Huang Yuheng, even in an injured state, this individual cannot be underestimated now. It might not be easy for ordinary disciples in the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm to capture him.” Si Huayuan pondered for a moment.

Killing and capturing were two different matters; capturing would undoubtedly be much simpler.

“Then I’ll go and take him down,” Guo Xuanji said.

“You were too severely injured before, and we still have to kill Gu Danying and a few others,” Si Huayuan reminded.

Tan Bingxiu shook his head and said, “The mysterious realm is vast. First, we’ll find this Chen Fei, and then let two disciples in the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm make a move. You can a.s.sist from the side.”

“Understood!” Guo Xuanji nodded.

Hearing that two disciples in the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm would be sent, and even Elder Guo Xuanji would a.s.sist from the side, a fierce expression appeared on Chen Daoheng’s face.

The memory of how Chen Fei had killed him was still vivid in Chen Daoheng’s mind; he wanted to repay Chen Fei tenfold or even a hundredfold.

Although he couldn’t kill Chen Fei, there was no problem with inflicting all sorts of torment!

In the Bewilderment City.

As the butcher dissipated, the surrounding blood mist began to slowly dissipate as well.

Two Evil ent.i.ties were killed, but a cultivator in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm also died.

There was no joy on the faces of the people. Today, they managed to drive away a wave, but in this mysterious realm, there weren’t eerie ent.i.ties everywhere, but there were indeed a considerable number of them.

Today, only two eerie ent.i.ties appeared, but if several or even dozens of such eerie ent.i.ties appeared simultaneously in the future, these people would probably not survive so easily.

The cultivators in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm around Chen Fei came forward to exchange a few words with him. It was thanks to Chen Fei’s reminder today that everyone discovered the butcher’s weakness.

Otherwise, they might have had to sacrifice several more people before finally killing the butcher.

After a moment, the group reached a consensus.

Staying in the Bewilderment City was futile; it was simply a place where humans were kept within this mysterious realm.

If they wanted to leave this mysterious realm, they needed to continue searching outward, find those peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, and, with the collective effort of everyone, break open this mysterious realm.

But there were still too few cultivators in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm now. They would wait until tomorrow to see if there would be more cultivators in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Chen Fei returned to his house, his expression grave.

Compared to others, Chen Fei’s means of self-preservation would undoubtedly be more numerous. However, his current strength was still too weak to confront the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

“Peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm!”

The materials for the third flower of the Unfettered Matrix Technique were all gathered in Chen Fei’s Qiankun Bag, everything was ready.

If it were elsewhere, Chen Fei would have already started preparing for his breakthrough.

But here, it wasn’t possible. After the breakthrough, one needed to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on a large scale. With only the elemental stones in Chen Fei’s Qiankun Bag at the moment, it was far from enough to complete the final breakthrough.

If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was insufficient in the end, not only would he fail to achieve the three flowers converging at the apex, but he might even suffer a backlash.

When the time came, not only would his strength fail to advance, but he might also suffer severe injuries.

Within the Bewilderment City, those who knew how to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had all died by now. Chen Fei had deliberately searched once, but everything had been taken away.

The extreme caution displayed by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion this time also proved that their ambitions were truly significant.

If a cultivator in the Mountain Sea Realm appeared within the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, Chen Fei would undoubtedly be doomed, with nowhere to escape.

Chen Fei extended his finger, and a sharp sword aura appeared in his hand, while various mental techniques were applied to the sword aura.

Unable to find a way to access the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Chen Fei could only try on his own.

A night pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye, but Chen Fei’s expression became even more solemn.

Because Chen Fei discovered that the will within the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was growing stronger.

This strengthening was silent but continuous.

So it was possible that the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators who were swept into this mysterious realm were probably dying one by one, and their spiritual essence was forcibly extracted by the mysterious realm after death.

The time left for Chen Fei was probably truly just a few days.

In the early morning, the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators gathered within the city, waiting for more of their kind to arrive at the Bewilderment City.

However, after an hour pa.s.sed, only three Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators had arrived at the Bewilderment City, with the highest cultivation being only in the mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Many frowned; the number of people who arrived was far fewer than expected. With only around twenty or so Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, even if they found the hiding place of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, they would have no fighting chance.

Chen Fei stood in the corner, occasionally flickering a trace of sword aura between his fingers.

Despite the strengthening will within the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Chen Fei never gave up on breaking through it. Even absorbing a trace would be sufficient for him.

However, the power of the owner of this mysterious realm was stronger than Chen Fei’s, making it difficult for him to break the rules here.

Last night, Chen Fei even took out his spiritual treasures, but unfortunately, the will within the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth did not target the spiritual treasures at all. The damaged spiritual treasures couldn’t resist at all.

This was completely different from the situation where Chen Fei used the spiritual treasures to resist the power of Yan Liu, the Monster King.

“Hmm?”

Chen Fei suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart, not because his attempts had yielded results, but because he suddenly sensed a strange late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator lurking in the shadows, observing him.

Chen Fei didn’t lift his head, but his Heavenly Eye had automatically activated. In an instant, he captured the aura of that late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

“The Fallen Heaven Pavilion!”

Chen Fei might not be extremely familiar with the aura of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion’s techniques, but he could indeed recognize it.

“Not observing others, but deliberately observing me?” Chen Fei felt puzzled internally, but his expression remained unchanged.

In less than a moment, the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator who had been secretly observing disappeared.

Chen Fei glanced at the other Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators present. They possessed formidable power, but they wouldn’t obey Chen Fei’s orders.

Chen Fei moved into the shadows, his figure flickering, disappearing from the spot.

Several miles away, Yan Gongli’s figure flickered. After a moment, he stood atop a hill.

Yan Gongli had already relayed the message of discovering Chen Fei back to the Fallen Heaven Pavilion. At this moment, he was waiting here for Guo Xuanji and another senior late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator to arrive.

Yan Gongli was a solitary and arrogant individual. If it weren’t for the orders from within the sect, he would have wanted to take action directly to capture a mid-Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

Suddenly, Yan Gongli frowned.

“Who’s there? Come out!”

Yan Gongli immediately turned around, shouting loudly, causing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge and oscillate in all directions.

From the void, Chen Fei emerged.

“It’s you!” Yan Gongli’s eyes narrowed when he saw Chen Fei, and then his killing intent surged.

Just now, with many people in the Bewilderment City, Yan Gongli had found it somewhat difficult to take action. But now, with only Chen Fei present, the situation suddenly became straightforward.

‘Til spare your life for now!”

However, recalling the instructions from the Elder, Yan Gongli sneered and turned to fly away into the distance.

Chen Fei remained silent. With a flicker of his figure, he appeared in front of Yan Gongli, blocking his path..
