Chapter 552 - 552: Profound Heavenly Sword



Kou Yuanheng probed Chen Fei, but he wasn’t entirely sure if Chen Fei really killed Duan Muxiao and took his place.

After all, Chen Fei’s imitation of Duan Muxiao was almost flawless. If it weren’t for Chen Fei’s inability to mimic Duan Muxiao’s aura, there wouldn’t have been any issues with mistaking Chen Fei for Duan Muxiao.

Kou Yuanheng only had suspicions, but he acted directly nonetheless.

In Kou Yuanheng’s view, Chen Fei was nothing more than an early-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, and the place where they were at the time was rarely visited by people, making it an excellent opportunity to strike.

However, little did he expect that Chen Fei, with a single counterattack, would completely catch him off guard.

It was fortunate that Kou Yuanheng belonged to the mainline sect, which allowed Chen Fei to learn the true location of the Death Shadow Sect.

Since the Death Shadow Sect already suspected Duan Muxiao, there was little significance in Chen Fei continuing to impersonate him. As for impersonating Kou Yuanheng, problems might arise later.

In that case, it was better to first deal with the Death Shadow Sect to avoid further trouble for Chen Fei.

Chen Fei’s current strength wasn’t sufficient to confront the Death Shadow Sect directly, as there were late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts within the sect.

If Chen Fei rushed in like this, he might be defeated by a late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert before he even got a chance to fight back.

Chen Fei currently lacks only the time for cultivation and growth, so naturally, he won’t confront the Death Shadow Sect head-on.

When unable to win, seeking assistance is the right approach.

Like a stone, Chen Fei simply controlled his body’s posture, without even utilizing his elemental power or the strength of his qi and blood. He followed the hidden currents under the sea surface, arriving quietly at the side of Haiya City.

The Death Shadow Sect’s elite forces were almost entirely concentrated in Haiya City. Inside Haiya City, there were no outsiders; everyone there was a member of the Death Shadow Sect.

To outsiders, the strongest within Haiya City were only at the pinnacle of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. However, in reality, all other Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators of the Death Shadow Sect suppressed their own aura and cultivation.

Within Haiya City, there was a mysterious treasure of the Death Shadow Sect. Within a certain range of it, as long as one cultivated specific techniques, they could conceal their aura by entrusting it to the treasure, allowing the treasure to suppress their aura on their behalf.

Thus, even if outsiders came to Haiya City, they wouldn’t be able to detect the presence of Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts, or even late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts.

During Chen Fei’s first encounter with the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, if he had led it to Haiya City instead of going to the Shadow Abyss Sect, there would have been a great opportunity to wipe out the Death Shadow Sect.

However, at that time, what Chen Fei hoped for more was to truly kill the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, rather than provide it with provisions.

Regarding the matter of the Death Shadow Sect, Chen Fei could at least conceal it for a few years. After a few years, who would spare who would be a matter for the future.

But if the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul isn’t dealt with, the future of the Thousand Feathers Alliance might truly be chaotic. This kind of cross-tier strangeness poses a significant threat to humanity.

Within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, those truly capable of threatening the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul are almost exclusively the top ten forces.

Other sects facing the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul would probably not even be able to escape.

Perhaps later, strong experts from the Mountain Sea Realm will appear to kill the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, but those who died before would truly be gone. If the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul appears in the Sea Peak City, Chen Fei would be powerless to resist.

By then, the entire Primordial Sword Sect would disappear completely, and those familiar to Chen Fei would not survive.

Therefore, Chen Fei first led the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul to the Shadow Abyss Sect, resulting in the unexpected emergence of so many contaminated Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

Although the Shadow Abyss Sect did not kill the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, at least it has been exposed. Now, it is likely fleeing far out to sea, avoiding pursuit by experts from the Mountain Sea Realm.

And under unforeseen circumstances, Chen Fei even obtained the techniques of the other nine forces.

With each sip and bite, Chen Fei’s original intention was for the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul to die first, but he ended up gaining even greater benefits.

Below the coastline, the legacy stones from the Qiankun Bag appeared in the cracks of the rocks.

Without the activation of elemental power, these legacy stones were indistinguishable from ordinary rocks and emitted no special aura.

Therefore, these legacy stones wouldn’t attract the attention of the Death Shadow Sect members.

Chen Fei left these legacy stones here in hopes of attracting the attention of the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul.

The traps he painstakingly set up were being dismantled one by one. Those traps were originally supposed to continuously attract other humans and contaminate them.

But now, with the disappearance of the legacy stones, that effect naturally vanished as well.

If the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul could truly evade pursuit from the Mountain Sea Realm, when it returns later, it definitely won’t spare those who destroyed its traps.

If the ones who destroyed the traps cannot be found, then wherever the legacy stones are, the humans there will be deemed guilty. Being guilty naturally warrants immediate execution and consumption.

The legacy stones in the cracks contain only some insignificant techniques. Even if discovered by members of the Death Shadow Sect, it wouldn’t benefit them much.

Chen Fei adjusted his posture, and with the hidden currents carrying him, he left the original spot, drifting away for dozens of miles.

Throughout the entire journey, no one in Haiya City noticed that someone had passed through this area underwater.

Actually, Chen Fei didn’t need to be so cautious. Under normal circumstances, a late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator wouldn’t keep their mental consciousness constantly expanded, covering the entire Haiya City.

Nevertheless, it was better to be cautious and handle the details well, as sometimes it could avoid significant trouble.

Under the sea surface, Chen Fei vibrated his elemental power, transforming his figure into a sharp arrow, swiftly shuttling underwater.

It wasn’t until he was a hundred miles away that Chen Fei’s figure soared into the sky.

Chen Fei glanced back at Haiya City from afar, a faint smile appearing on his face. Then, his figure turned into a phantom and disappeared from view.

Several hours later, Chen Fei returned to the Primordial Sword Sect and met with Qu Qingsheng.

He informed Qu Qingsheng that most of the sea monsters outside the secret realm had been eliminated, except for a third-tier sea monster that escaped due to Kou Yuanheng’s elemental power.

“In a while, I’ll go take another look. If there’s anything, you can inform me,” Chen Fei said in a low voice.

Normally, that sea monster, having had part of its flesh crushed by Kou Yuanheng, would have been scared away long ago.

But there are also some revengeful sea monsters who, in such situations, would instead take detours.

After briefing Qu Qingsheng on the matter, Chen Fei returned to the secret chamber in the courtyard.

“Fuse!”

On the panel, the nine martial arts emitted a faint glow, gradually merging into the Three Lives Slicing Shadow Sword.

Each of the nine martial arts was incomplete, and their significance for individual cultivation was minimal. Only by integrating them all into the main martial art and relying on the power of the panel to complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses could Chen Fei maximize his benefits.

The panel’s light fluctuated, and at the same time, various martial arts cultivation methods began to appear in Chen Fei’s mind. Many things were deleted and then rearranged.

“Discover the martial art. Will you spend one thousand high-grade elemental stones to simplify the Profound Heavenly Sword?”

A prompt popped up on the panel, and upon seeing the price given by the panel, Chen Fei’s molars suddenly felt sore.

The previous fully perfected Three Lives Slicing Shadow Sword had disappeared, and the newly appeared Profound Heavenly Sword, with a proficiency level only at the Proficient Level and not yet halfway through.

Compared to the previous Three Lives Slicing Shadow Sword, this newly emerged Profound Heavenly Sword had improved by at least two tiers in terms of level.

Chen Fei hadn’t seen complete top-tier martial arts, but judging from what he could see, the Profound Heavenly Sword, formed by the fusion of the nine incomplete martial arts, surpassed the sect-defining martial arts of those nine forces in both power and depth.

Taking the strengths of each and compensating for the weaknesses, this wasn’t just empty talk. Although it was extracting the essence from nine incomplete martial arts, the quantity was sufficient to compensate for many deficiencies.

As for whether it could compare to the martial arts in the Thousand Feathers Alliance’s main sect, only when Chen Fei encountered someone from the main sect in the future could he make a judgment.

The only thing was that Chen Fei felt a bit distressed about the simplification cost.

This simplification cost exceeded all the previous records for simplification of Chen Fei’s martial arts. Even the Profound Suppressing Dragon Elephant didn’t have such a high amount.

However, the main foundation of the Profound Suppressing Dragon Elephant lay in the Dragon Elephant aspect, and its ultimate limit was only the pinnacle of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm in terms of physique before reaching its peak.

On the other hand, the true target of the Profound Heavenly Sword was aimed at the Mountain Sea Realm. In essence, there were many differences between the two, so it was understandable that there was a significant gap in simplification costs.

Unless Chen Fei could find other martial arts to reinforce the Profound Suppressing Dragon Elephant once again and raise its limit, it would be possible to compete with the Profound Heavenly Sword.

Or, Chen Fei could truly deduce the original Spirit Suppression of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, completely supplementing it, rather than its current incomplete state.

However, even the creator of the Profound Suppressing Dragon Elephant, back in the day, only had a rough idea of how to complete the soul-restraining aspect. It would be extremely difficult for Chen Fei to truly fill in the gaps.

“Spiritual treasures?”

Suddenly, in Chen Fei’s mind, the image of that incomplete spiritual treasure appeared. Did the Mountain Sea Realm expert who also cultivated the Profound Suppressing Dragon Elephant manage to complete it in the end?

If he were to use a spiritual treasure to deduce the soul-restraining aspect in the future, would there be any unexpected surprises?

Leaving the secret chamber, Chen Fei’s figure soared into the sky, heading towards other sea areas.

Currently, Chen Fei’s Qiankun Bag didn’t contain anywhere near a thousand pieces of high-grade elemental stones. The high-grade elemental stones he obtained earlier had been almost completely depleted during his cultivation.

As for Kou Yuanheng’s Qiankun Bag, it didn’t contain so many elemental stones either.

Kou Yuanheng’s wealth was naturally far more than just a thousand pieces of high-grade elemental stones. As a mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert, his wealth was quite considerable.

However, most of it was stored in Haiya City, the stronghold of the Death Shadow Sect, where Chen Fei couldn’t access it.

For now, Chen Fei could only sell off the high-grade treasures in Kou Yuanheng’s possession to gather the required thousand pieces of high-grade elemental stones.

The Sea Peak City was naturally not suitable for buying and selling, and Chen Fei couldn’t explain the origins of the high-grade treasures. Going elsewhere would naturally relieve him of this dilemma.

As long as he was cautious, high-grade treasures were still in high demand.

Previously, Chen Fei hadn’t anticipated that the newly fused martial arts would require so many high-grade elemental stones.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity to go out, while liquidating Kou Yuanheng’s assets from his Qiankun Bag, he could also inquire about the current situation of the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

It had been more than a day since the appearance and disappearance of the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul. There should be some rumors circulating about whether the leader of the Thousand Feathers Alliance had managed to kill the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul. Some minor rumors should have surfaced by now..
