Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chen Fei’s heart was full of surprise. He hadn’t expected that the purpose of the Ding Ear was to create Rule Crystals.

If it was possible to create Rule Crystals, after Chen Fei broke through to the seventh-tier, the value might be relatively low, but for the Primordial Sword Sect, and for the entire human race, its value would be immense.

Chen Fei seriously examined the embryonic form of the Rule Crystal inside the cauldron. A moment later, Chen Fei’s brows slightly furrowed as he seemed a bit too optimistic.

The Ding Ear was indeed absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth and then creating Rule Crystals, but the speed was exaggeratedly slow.

Perhaps the original, complete bronze cauldron could create Rule Crystals very quickly, as it was an Eighth-Tier Supreme Treasure. But now, with only the Ding Ear left, both its function and capability had significantly decreased.

To say that it retained one-tenth of its original capability might still be an overestimation.

...

Chen Fei roughly estimated the condensation speed of the Rule Crystals inside the cauldron. If left undisturbed, it would take over a hundred years to produce a single Rule Crystal.

For a sixth-tier race like the humans, automatically harvesting a Rule Crystal every hundred years would certainly be welcome.

Continuing for thousands of years, that would be several dozen Rule Crystals, which represented an immense wealth.

But for Chen Fei, harvesting one Rule Crystal every hundred years was far slower than his own daily cultivation speed. He didn’t need the Ding Ear to create Rule Crystals.

Chen Fei tried feeding ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals into the cauldron. With the slight tremble of the bronze cauldron, the production speed of the Rule Crystals increased somewhat.

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered, meaning that if he wanted to speed up the creation of Rule Crystals, interference was still possible. Low-grade Primordial Crystals worked, and those sixth-grade spiritual materials would probably also be effective.

After all, whether it was low-grade Primordial Crystals or sixth-grade spiritual materials, both contained rule particles. Absorbing these rule particles, the Ding Ear would naturally speed up the production of Rule Crystals.

But for Chen Fei, the significance was still not very great.

Chen Fei thought for a moment, then swept the Ding Ear into his palm, refining it with his Divine Soul Elemental Force. An hour later, Chen Fei stored the Ding Ear inside the Source Point Space.

Chen Fei vibrated the Source Point Space, extracted the Ding Ear again, and used the panel to retain the runes inside the Source Point Space, just like the original bronze fragments.

Knowing the function of the Ding Ear, Chen Fei now meticulously pondered the runes of the Ding Ear inside the Source Point Space, feeling as if he had grasped something.

From the Ding Ear Rune, it was clear that the damage was extremely severe. With Chen Fei’s current cultivation and insight, he was also unable to repair the rune, as it was created by the Yuan Clan at its peak, using the full force of the clan.

Chen Fei’s current state naturally could not compare with the Yuan Clan of the past.

The Ding Ear runes in Chen Fei’s Source Point Space could also absorb the essence force from within Chen Fei, or the rule particles from devouring the spiritual essence, to create Rule Crystals.

In principle, there was no difference from the previous two bronze fragments; it was just that their respective responsibilities led to different characteristics.

Chen Fei looked at the Ding Ear in his hand and again formed hand seals to activate its characteristics, causing a bronze cauldron composed of light to reappear. Chen Fei vibrated the runes of the Ding Ear within the Source Point Space, augmenting the bronze cauldron before him.

“Hum!”

A ripple spread from the bronze cauldron, and the intensity of absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth suddenly increased significantly, making the Ding Ear achieve the effect of two.

With this rhythm, the production speed of Rule Crystals could be reduced to within a century, but for Chen Fei, that was still far too long.

However, after absorbing the Ding Ear Rune into the Source Point Space, Chen Fei realized something: for others, Rule Crystals were used to comprehend the rules within them.

Chen Fei used the Rule Crystals not to look at the rules contained within, but to directly shatter them, extracting the abundant spiritual mechanisms.

The reason why the Ding Ear took so long to create Rule Crystals was that the challenging part was solidifying the rules into crystals. Due to the bronze cauldron being shattered and the runes incomplete, this step was exceedingly difficult to complete.

If Chen Fei did not seek Rule Crystals but only the spiritual mechanisms, during the process of creating Rule Crystals, the Ding Ear was continuously absorbing heaven and earth’s spiritual mechanisms, which Chen Fei could directly release.

This way was the most correct usage of the Ding Ear for Chen Fei.

Chen Fei formed hand seals, but the seals were now different from before. As the seals landed on the bronze cauldron, the embryonic Rule Crystals inside dispersed, the spiritual mechanisms and essence force permeating the cauldron.

Chen Fei’s face revealed a slight smile as he drew out the spiritual mechanisms from the cauldron while allowing the bronze cauldron to continue absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth to condense spiritual mechanisms.

The spiritual mechanisms in the cultivation room became increasingly rich. Compared with real Rule Crystals, the spiritual mechanisms naturally fell short, but they were much more concentrated than those from shattering ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

Moreover, this process did not conflict with obtaining spiritual mechanisms by shattering low-grade Primordial Crystals.

Thus, Chen Fei directly shattered ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals and entered a state of cultivation.

Many insights appeared in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, and his skill level in Celestial Suppression still increased, advancing toward the final Great Completion.

At the same time, fragments of Space Secondary Rules “Void” and “Nothing” also slowly grew.

A day later, Chen Fei opened his eyes, his gaze containing a hint of joy.

If he had only used the spiritual mechanisms from ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals for cultivation, Chen Fei would have needed about two and a half to three days to condense a fragment of a single secondary rule.

But now, with the Ding Ear gathering spiritual mechanisms, Chen Fei’s speed of cultivation had once again surged, reaching the level of condensing a fragment of a secondary rule each day.

Just from the day’s cultivation, fragments of the Space Secondary Rules “Void” and “Nothing” each increased by one.

Following such a pace, Chen Fei would need just over a month more to raise the Space Secondary Rule “Void” to a complete state.

As for the Space Secondary Rule “Null,” it might take a bit longer, but only just over two months.

Although this speed of cultivation could not be compared with that of Rule Crystals, it was actually very exaggerated, equivalent to breaking through from the early stage to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm in less than four months.

Chen Fei continued by shattering ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals and then closed his eyes, re-entering the state of cultivation.

In a courtyard on the southeast side of Han Yun City, Yu Wuheng was sitting cross-legged, healing the injuries within his body.

Having narrowly escaped death, Yu Wuheng did not know if that place was indeed the burial ground of the Open Heaven Realm. He only knew that, in that place, he had very little power to resist.

To venture deeper, only someone at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm could hope to do so.

However, Yu Wuheng thought about the current situation of the human race; the three Emperors would definitely not risk it, thus this might very well lead the human race into the abyss.

At this thought, Yu Wuheng couldn’t help but sigh deeply as he focused on recovering from his injuries.

Ten thousand leagues from Han Yun City.

“How’s the preparation of the evidence?” Lv Yan looked in the direction of Han Yun City and said calmly.

“After meticulous investigation, there are quite a few loopholes. I’ll prepare for a few more days; I believe by then the Wu Meng Clan will be willing to give us some face,” Sang Che said with a smile.

Hearing Sang Che’s words, a slight smile appeared on Lv Yan’s lips.

With Lv Fan becoming a servant to Liao Xia, a late-stage Open Heaven Realm power, the Wu Meng Clan’s attitude towards the entire Evil Clans had indeed shifted.

As the saying goes, “you hit the dog, you must look at the owner,” although it’s a bit crude, the principle rings true.

Ignoring the powerful race behind Liao Xia, Liao Xia’s own strength alone is something the Wu Meng Clan could not compare to.

Although Lv Fan is just a servant by Liao Xia’s side, many who wish to serve under Liao Xia could not even get the chance; this clearly reflects the significant transformation in Lv Fan’s status.

The Wu Meng Clan’s attitude towards the Evil Clans was no longer like their view of other races in the Black Stone Domain, as if they could be easily manipulated.

The most obvious change was returning all the soul tokens of those above the Rule Integration Realm to the Evil Clans.

This action greatly reflects the change in the Wu Meng Clan.

“Then, once you’ve prepared the evidence, come with me to the Wu Meng Clan.”

Lv Yan looked towards Han Yun City, his gaze gradually turning cold, he continued, “This human race is no longer necessary to exist in the Black Stone Domain.”

“Yes!”

Sang Che, stroking the jade scroll in hand, had a similarly cold expression directed towards the human race.

The Evil Clans and the human race have long been in a state of life-and-death conflict; to annihilate the human race, the Evil Clans had thought of many methods and made various plans.

Even many arrangements had begun years ago.

This so-called evidence in Sang Che’s hand was a conspiracy against the human race.

To frame the human race for colluding with the Xuan Clan, thus, prompting the Wu Meng Clan to take action.

Once this accusation was established, there would be no escape for the human race, and the breakthrough point for all this rested on Yu Wuheng of the human race.

That alleged burial site of the Open Heaven Realm had been intended for Yu Wuheng from the beginning. Originally, the objective was to ambush this young genius, who had the opportunity to break through to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm, right there.

Especially when Yu Wuheng used three Dimension Origins and still could not break through to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm, the attraction of this suspected burial site of the Open Heaven Realm was undoubtedly huge for Yu Wuheng.

That kind of stagnation just half a step before the peak of the Rule Integration Realm, that kind of torment and anxiety, was deeply understood by all races at the pinnacle of the Rule Integration Realm.

Originally intended to kill Yu Wuheng, now it was to frame Yu Wuheng, thereby implicating the entire human race.

If it had been before, the Wu Meng Clan would not even have cared about the Evil Clans. However, now, the situation had become somewhat different.

Even if the Wu Meng Clan only needed to take away the strongest of the human race, Qiu Gongzhi, for interrogation, the Evil Clans could easily capture the entirety of Han Yun City.

Lv Fan’s becoming a servant to a late-stage Open Heaven Realm strongman was simply the prelude to the demise of the human race, which could only be said to warrant annihilation by their Evil Clans!

Unbeknownst when, the surroundings of Han Yun City had become covered with dark clouds, lightning weaving through them. The citygoers rushed about — each face carrying a faint sense of urgency.

Several days had passed, but the atmosphere in Han Yun City remained extremely tense.

Qiu Gongzhi, within the City Lord’s mansion, was restless. His figure appeared above Han Yun City, gazing into the distance with a solemn expression.

Inside the cultivation room of the courtyard, Chen Fei’s figure was once again replaced by a black hole.
