Chapter 691: Forging the Mountain Sea Spirit Treasure

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The artifact spirit violated the rules set by Master Dream Shadow at the beginning. Normally, the artifact spirit would not have had the ability to do so.

But time was the most powerful force in this world. Over thousands of years, the artifact spirit had quietly modified many rules. Only this most core rule remained unaltered.

At that moment, the artifact spirit directly violated the rule, causing the main body of the Dream Shadow Stone to tremble violently.

That was the most fundamental rule laid down by Master Dream Shadow in those years, designed to prevent possible situations. However, it was estimated that Master Dream Shadow did not expect that thousands of years later, no one would have obtained his inheritance.

Chen Fei sensed the increasingly faint breath of the artifact spirit. In that moment, even if the artifact spirit could still survive, its power had plummeted to the extreme, and the might of the artifact spiritual treasure no longer existed.

The artifact spirit was unwilling to acknowledge a master, yet most of the power of the artifact spiritual treasure had been forcibly left within the cave.

Surrounded by the rich origin, countless thoughts flashed through Chen Fei’s mind. The next moment, he raised the Qianyuan Sword in his hand, and the artifact spiritual treasures around began to converge one after another.

If Chen Fei successfully became the new master of the Dream Shadow Cave, he would also erase the wisdom of the artifact spirit. Keeping such a rebellious ent.i.ty might result in a backstabbing betrayal at any moment.

Now, over ninety percent of the origin essence was gathered here, enough to refine a completely new artifact spiritual treasure. It was estimated to be quite a challenge, but if these essences were fused into the Qianyuan Sword, perhaps it could be directly promoted.

After all, the handle of the Qianyuan Sword was still the Broken Ruler of a artifact spiritual treasure.

The Broken Ruler no longer had any possibility of repair. So why not just complete the Qianyuan Sword in the end? With the surrounding origin essences, it might have been possible to break through the limits of top-grade magical treasures in one fell swoop.

The Qianyuan Sword trembled violently, filled with excitement in its artifact spirituality, because it understood what that moment represented.

The faint artifact spirituality of the Broken Ruler flickered for a moment, not opposing Chen Fei’s decision.

Once the Qianyuan Sword successfully broke through, the Broken Ruler would also gain new life. What use was there for its current shattered state?

The majestic origin essences continuously flowed into the body of the Qianyuan Sword, and relying on the instinct of the artifact spiritual treasure, the Broken Ruler began to refine these powers, constantly tempering the material of the Qianyuan Sword.

The area where the Broken Ruler and the Qianyuan Sword touched began to truly merge, and a powerful aura permeated all directions. In just a moment, it reached the critical point of a top-grade magical treasure.

Within the Strange Heart Realm, the artifact spirit of the Dream Shadow Cave watched this scene with eyes wide open, on the verge of splitting. All those years of hard work had been devoted to acc.u.mulating power, and now it was to benefit this human, to benefit other treasures.

But unfortunately, at this moment, the artifact spirit could do nothing.

In the Dream Shadow Cave, in the outside world, it had completely lost control. All it could do now was watch.

The momentum of the Qianyuan Sword grew stronger and stronger, but its artifact spirituality became silent. This was the final breakthrough stage, akin to a martial artist transcending their soul.

Success meant entering the Mountain Sea Realm, while failure meant possibly remaining in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm for a lifetime.

The same applied to treasures. If their artifact spirituality successfully transcended, they could step into the realm of artifact spiritual treasures.

For other treasures to transcend into artifact spiritual treasures, the success rate was very low, not much easier than for martial artists. But now, with the Qianyuan Sword possessing so many origin essences, the success rate would be very high.

The artifact spirit of the Dream Shadow Cave, in order to forge its own path, had tirelessly polished its own essence. And thousands of years were enough to gradually accomplish these tasks.

Therefore, for treasures, the power of these origin essences could be considered the best nourishment, completely something that could be encountered but not sought.

After a quarter of an hour pa.s.sed, the profound artifact spiritual treasure origin essences were all integrated into the Qianyuan Sword. The astonishing momentum of the Qianyuan Sword was completely concealed, and at this moment, it looked like an ordinary iron sword.

The Concealment Bell sensed this scene, filled with envy. It had become an artifact spiritual treasure now; how many treasures dreamed of this?

The Concealment Bell was now at the level of a top-grade magical treasure. Compared to the past, it was naturally much stronger. But if there was a chance to break through to an artifact spiritual treasure, which treasure could refuse such a thing?

However, today the Concealment Bell watched its master almost entirely manipulate the Dream Shadow Cave, this artifact spiritual treasure. In the future, would there be hope to provide artifact spiritual treasure origin essences and elevate itself too?

Chen Fei sheathed the Qianyuan Sword and looked around. At this moment, the Dream Shadow Cave was nothing but an empty sh.e.l.l, still able to be sustained because Chen Fei was still here. That was how the rules of the Dream Shadow Cave worked.

“Give me the Dream Entry Technique, and I’ll let you go!” Chen Fei declared loudly.

This was spoken to the artifact spirit. Chen Fei knew that the artifact spirit of the Dream Shadow Cave was still watching here. It could hear him.

“You’ve robbed me of my origin, robbed me of my path, and yet you still want to get your hands on the technique? Hahaha!”

The grating laughter echoed within the Dream Shadow Cave, the voice of the artifact spirit dripping with mockery.

“These were the rules set by Master Dream Shadow all those years ago, and I’m just following the rules,” Chen Fei said calmly.

In this world, it was survival of the fittest, sometimes regardless of right or wrong. Chen Fei only followed his own intentions.

And over the years, the Dream Shadow Cave still appeared at intervals, refining the beliefs of others. It knew there was a possibility of being acknowledged as a master, but it still chose to act this way.

Whether it was people or things, sometimes they had to pay the price for their actions.

Even if Chen Fei didn’t show up, there might be others in the future who would push the artifact spirit of the Dream Shadow Cave to this point.

“That old man, even in death, still wants to impose such shackles on me. He deserves to die, and so do you!” The artifact spirit roared in immense anger.

“So, you’re not going to hand over the technique?” Chen Fei’s head tilted slightly.

“If you have the guts, come into the Strange Heart Realm and chase me, find my true form, and annihilate me. Otherwise, you’ll never get your hands on the Dream Entry Technique in this lifetime!”

The mocking voice of the artifact spirit resounded in all directions. Even many Mountain Sea Realm experts couldn’t find its true form, let alone those at the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm.

What qualifications did Chen Fei have to surpa.s.s the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm and find its location?

“As you wish!”

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered, his thoughts stirring. A gentle breeze inexplicably began to blow within the Dream Shadow Cave.

Although it was just an ordinary breeze, the grating laughter of the artifact spirit suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

“No, what is this, what is this!”

The next moment, the terrified voice of the artifact spirit rang out. It felt its artifact spirituality dissipating, and it was uncontrollable.

Even though almost all of its artifact spiritual treasure origin had dissipated before, as long as its artifact spirituality remained, the artifact spirit was confident that it could slowly cultivate it back over thousands of years.

By then, this human before it would have long been dead, and it would return anew.

But at this moment, its artifact spirituality was crazily dissipating, and no matter how the artifact spirit tried to stop it, it couldn’t.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I’ll talk, I’ll say everything!” The artifact spirit screamed loudly, frantically begging Chen Fei for mercy.

Chen Fei remained indifferent, simply watching as the voice of the artifact spirit grew fainter and fainter.

This was the last trick left behind by Master Dream Shadow. For those who underwent the trial, if they truly reached such a point, the life or death of the artifact spirituality of the artifact spiritual treasure depended entirely on the will of the trial taker.

Master Dream Shadow was truly ruthless. Faced with the artifact spiritual treasures he had crafted, as long as they dared to resist the will he had set, there was no need for their existence.

In just a moment, the voice of the artifact spirit completely dissipated.

Chen Fei floated in mid-air, with the main body of the Dream Shadow Stone still in the Strange Heart Realm. To obtain the technique, Chen Fei only needed to find the Dream Shadow Stone.

At this moment, there was already a faint connection between Chen Fei and the Dream Shadow Stone. Chen Fei only needed to enter the Strange Heart Realm and rely on this connection to find the Dream Shadow Stone.

However, the location where Master Dream Shadow had placed the stone was extremely deep and dangerous, surrounded by fourth-tier Evils.

Because of this, even a slight summoning from the Dream Shadow Stone would attract a fourth-tier Evil to appear.

Therefore, Chen Fei decided it would be best to wait until his cultivation broke through to the Mountain Sea Realm before venturing into the Strange Heart Realm to find the Dream Shadow Stone.

Glancing around, Chen Fei disappeared from the spot in the next moment.

As soon as Chen Fei left, the Dream Shadow Cave lost all support.

In the outside world, the ma.s.sive mountain formed by the Dream Shadow Cave crumbled into powder from its peak. In the blink of an eye, the Dream Shadow Cave vanished completely.

Everyone watched in astonishment. In the past, after completing the trial, the Dream Shadow Cave hadn’t collapsed so quickly. This time, why were there so many strange occurrences during the trial?

Several miles away, Tang Shouchang watched the Dream Shadow Cave dissipate, his eyes narrowing slightly. Then, he suddenly turned to look several tens of miles away.

There, a faint aura appeared, but before Tang Shouchang could perceive it clearly, the aura had disappeared again.

“It really is a talent for teleportation. To have such a talent in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and it’s even a talent from a monster. Truly peculiar,” Tang Shouchang thought to himself.

Tang Shouchang was one of the four Mountain Sea Realm experts in Thousand Geese City. Today, he had come specifically after hearing the report from Gu Fangyu about the situation inside the Dream Shadow Cave.

As expected, with such a high level of mastery over teleportation, even if someone in the Mountain Sea Realm wanted to intercept, they wouldn’t be able to.

They could set up formations near the Dream Shadow Cave in advance, but once the cave sensed the formations, it would directly exert all its power to shatter them. This had happened several times in the past.

Moreover, according to Gu Fangyu’s words, the person inside the cave was extremely powerful, and it was difficult to ascertain their background.

Perhaps there were protectors nearby, but it was uncertain.

Anyway, Gu Fangyu hadn’t suffered any losses. At most, he had been shaken. Therefore, it would be unwise to intercept just out of curiosity.

So Tang Shouchang just stood several miles away and did nothing else from start to finish. The other three Mountain Sea Realm experts from Thousand Geese City also didn’t appear here, all due to these considerations.

There were too many powerful forces in the Boundless Sea, and too many strong individuals. Thousand Geese City was good, but just good.

Throughout the history of the Boundless Sea, there were countless examples of sects being destroyed due to temporary mistakes, which were no longer rare occurrences.

Over two hundred miles away, Chen Fei’s figure appeared, having continuously pushed the limits of teleportation. Even Chen Fei was feeling a bit strained.

Not sensing anything unusual, Chen Fei’s aura returned to its original state.

After sensing the harvest inside the Qiankun Bag, especially the Soul Heartstone, Chen Fei’s face lit up with a smile.

Hundreds of miles away, deep in the Thousand Geese Mountains, within a cold pool, a crimson eye suddenly opened.

“It’s the power of the Emperor!”
