Supreme magical treasures!

In the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, Chen Fei slew the three men of the Tan Bingxiu, obtaining three supreme treasures. Apart from those belonging to Tan Bingxiu’s group, the weapons obtained from other Peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts slain by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion were also in Chen Fei’s possession.

Within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, it wasn’t easy to trade these supreme treasures, but now in the Thousand Geese City, there naturally weren’t any reservations.

Moreover, Chen Fei had made some modifications to the appearance of these supreme treasures, so unless one was from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion back then, it would be difficult for anyone to recognize the origin of these treasures.

Upon seeing the sword blade, Situ Song’s eyes lit up.

Supreme treasures were hard to resist for any expert at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Although the Heavenly Heart Sect was once powerful, they had quite a few supreme treasures, but over the years, except for the damaged spiritual treasure that suppressed the sect’s luck, many other supreme treasures had been lost due to various accidents.

Therefore, the supreme treasure before Situ Song was very attractive to him.

“Your Excellency shows ample sincerity!”

Situ Song looked at Chen Fei, intending to raise the price, but also fearing to scare him away.

After all, the value of the Mountain Sea Realm techniques was actually quite hard to define.

To say it holds immeasurable value would not be an exaggeration, but to say it’s worthless is also somewhat justifiable.

“Is your sect’s Heavenly Heart Scripture intact?” Chen Fei asked softly.

“Three hundred years ago, due to some accidents, thirty percent of the Heavenly Heart Scripture was lost. However, this thirty percent constitutes the latter part of the scripture; the earlier portion remains intact,” Situ Song replied without concealment.

Since it was a transaction and both sects were currently in the Thousand Geese Mountains, there was no need for deception.

Because in the Mountain Sea Realm techniques, although experts at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm couldn’t practice them, whether they were complete or not could be discerned after studying them for a while.

“Is the main outline still present?” Chen Fei pondered for a moment before continuing.

“It is!” Situ Song nodded.

“Good!”

A smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face as he pushed the sword blade on the table towards Situ Song.

“Please wait a moment!”

Situ Song didn’t immediately take the sword blade but instead bowed to Chen Fei before disappearing from sight.

After a moment, Situ Song returned, holding two jade slips in his hand, and handed one of them to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei reached out and took the jade slip, not sensing anything unusual, and delved his consciousness into it.

Inside the jade slip was indeed a portion of the Heavenly Heart Scripture, containing only the general outline and some methods of practice. Relying solely on this content, even in the Mountain Sea Realm, one couldn’t cultivate anything.

However, this amount of content was enough for one to discern some levels of the Heavenly Heart Scripture.

Seeing Chen Fei presenting a supreme treasure right away, Situ Song, after weighing his options, decided to make the deal more transparent.

After all, not every Peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert could casually use a supreme treasure as a bargaining chip.

After a moment, Chen Fei withdrew his consciousness and looked at Situ Song, nodding. “All good.”

A smile crept onto Situ Song’s face as he handed another jade slip to Chen Fei and picked up the sword blade from the table.

As soon as he held the sword, Situ Song could sense its sharpness; this sword had been tempered for no less than hundreds of years.

Situ Song glanced at Chen Fei discreetly, pondering whether the Primordial Sword Sect was wealthy like the Heavenly Heart Sect of old or if Chen Fei possessed exceptional strength, having slain peers of his level.

Situ Song leaned towards the latter possibility in his mind because if Chen Fei truly had wealth and had encountered Mountain Sea Realm experts before, there would be no need to exchange for the Heavenly Heart Scripture.

It took Chen Fei over an hour to withdraw his consciousness, and at this moment, there was an additional message on the interface.

[Technique: Heavenly Heart Scripture (Incomplete)]

“Many thanks for your generosity!” Chen Fei bowed to Situ Song.

Supreme treasures held great value, and Chen Fei didn’t lack one.

If he were still within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, Chen Fei wouldn’t even have a way to exchange a supreme treasure for a Mountain Sea Realm technique.

The three Mountain Sea Realm experts led by Min Yanlu didn’t lack supreme treasures at all, or rather, the value of supreme treasures to them was too low.

The likelihood of Chen Fei being rebuffed if he attempted to exchange a supreme treasure for a Mountain Sea Realm technique would be even higher.

But here in Thousand Geese City, Chen Fei managed to make the exchange instantly.

The same thing could have vastly different values in different places.

“You’re too kind. Let’s each take what we need. However, this technique must not be leaked to others. I hope you will abide by this,” Situ Song also bowed to Chen Fei.

“That’s only natural.”

Chen Fei could transmit the Heavenly Heart Scripture within the Primordial Sword Sect, but he couldn’t pass it on to other sects. Chen Fei naturally understood this, and he had no need to disseminate it elsewhere.

After exchanging pleasantries for a moment, Chen Fei took his leave.

Situ Song escorted Chen Fei out of the main hall. After Chen Fei bowed and departed, he transformed into flowing light and disappeared from sight.

Watching Chen Fei’s gradually fading figure, Situ Song gently stroked the long sword in his hand, his gaze filled with some emotion. He felt both emotions towards the current state of the Heavenly Heart Sect and towards Chen Fei’s determination.

Situ Song himself had once possessed such determination. In order to revive the Heavenly Heart Sect, he had relentlessly improved his cultivation.

However, Situ Song’s realm ultimately stalled at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, never breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm threshold.

Under such circumstances, forcing a breakthrough was possible, but failure was inevitable.

To truly break through, encountering the right opportunity was indispensable. Yet, for many years, that opportunity had never presented itself. Situ Song understood that his foundation was not strong enough.

But now that he had reached the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, how could he further enhance his foundation?

Situ Song was unaware, and the Heavenly Heart Scripture did not provide guidance on how to proceed in this regard.

Today, giving the Heavenly Heart Scripture to Chen Fei was twofold: first, because of the supreme treasure in his possession, and second, to cultivate a favorable relationship.

While the Heavenly Heart Scripture remained within the Heavenly Heart Sect, the sect had now formed a beneficial relationship with a peer-level faction, which far outweighed any disadvantages!

Upon returning to the Primordial Sword Sect, Chen Fei immediately entered a state of seclusion.

“Merge!”

On the interface, the Heavenly Heart Scripture and the Profound Heavenly Sword gradually approached each other, finally merging together.

“Discovered Technique: Heavenly Profound Sword!”

“Discovered Technique: Would you like to spend 4,500 medium-grade elemental stones to simplify the Heavenly Profound Sword?”

“Heavenly Profound Sword simplification in progress… Simplification successful… Heavenly Profound Sword -> Profound Heavenly Sword!”

4,500 medium-grade elemental stones might not be a small sum, but for Chen Fei at present, it wasn’t much of a burden.

As Chen Fei wielded the Profound Heavenly Sword, insights regarding the Heavenly Profound Sword emerged in his mind, and he began to contemplate deeply.

The level of the Heavenly Heart Scripture, among Mountain Sea Realm techniques, should be relatively ordinary. At least Chen Fei could compare it to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering from before, and draw some parallels.

However, even if it’s considered ordinary, it’s still a Mountain Sea Realm technique. Now, after merging with the Profound Heavenly Sword to become the Heavenly Profound Sword, Chen Fei, in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, can unleash some of the mysteries of Mountain Sea Realm techniques.

To everyone else, this seems completely impossible.

Yet, it’s about to happen in Chen Fei’s hands.

Completely immersed in cultivation, Chen Fei found that the cultivation of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant and the Heavenly Profound Sword didn’t conflict with each other. Thus, he simultaneously operated both techniques, gaining insights from both.

As Chen Fei quietly cultivated, the Primordial Sword Sect appeared extremely honest and modest to outsiders.

Other forces in the Thousand Geese Mountains initially thought that as time passed, the Primordial Sword Sect would gradually start to take action and secure some secret realms, as it was crucial for the sect’s future development.

However, the Primordial Sword Sect showed no intention of doing so. While they engaged in basic activities and trade, they showed no interest in acquiring information about secret realms or resources nearby.

The entire sect seemed devoid of desire.

Of course, the Primordial Sword Sect couldn’t truly lack ambition; rather, their resources were already overflowing.

During their months-long voyage, not to mention the third-tier sea monsters Chen Fei slew, he actually dispatched quite a few of the sea monsters encountered on regular days.

These sea monsters weren’t particularly powerful individually, but their sheer numbers meant that after being slain, they yielded abundant resources.

However, the sea monsters Chen Fei dispatched, aside from the peak third-tier ones from which he extracted spirit essence, rendering their flesh and blood useless, he didn’t extract spirit essence from all the sea monsters of other tiers.

Some lower-tier spirit essences were of no use to Chen Fei, so after dispatching the sea monsters, he simply dragged them back to the fleet.

These sea monsters might be useless to Chen Fei, but they were extremely valuable to others, especially those under the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Encountering third-tier sea monsters on a regular basis was inconceivable to them, yet now it seemed commonplace.

Of course, the Primordial Sword Sect had always operated on a contribution value policy. Despite their abundance of resources, if one’s contribution value wasn’t sufficient, they couldn’t obtain enough resources for cultivation.

With the resources currently at the disposal of the Primordial Sword Sect, they could sustain themselves for a very long time. There would be no worries about resource shortages for at least twenty years, and it wouldn’t hinder the growth of disciples.

With plenty of time ahead, there was no need to display urgency upon arriving in Thousand Geese City. Otherwise, they might easily fall into traps set by others.

Business could be conducted as usual in Thousand Geese City, and the Primordial Sword Sect had the strength to do so. As for secret realms, there would always be opportunities in the future.

In the blink of an eye, another half year passed.

Some neighboring factions of the Primordial Sword Sect had somewhat reduced their vigilance, while the Primordial Sword Sect still maintained an appearance of non-interference with worldly affairs.

In the Tingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fei floated in mid-air, surrounded by sword essence.

The Heavenly Profound Sword, which had just been fused, had dropped from the state of Great Completion to the early stages of Proficiency, indicating the significant difference between Mountain Sea Realm techniques and Combined Aperture Tempering realm techniques.

After half a year of cultivation, the proficiency of the Heavenly Profound Sword had reached more than halfway to Proficiency.

The most obvious change was that the range of the sword essence’s manipulation of natural energy had expanded, and the amount of sword essence that could be outputted in a single move had also increased dramatically. This had an immediate impact on combat effectiveness.

Furthermore, Chen Fei’s spiritual consciousness had become much stronger due to the cultivation of the Heavenly Profound Sword.

A few days later, a piece of news suddenly spread near Thousand Geese City.

The inheritance cave of the Master Dream Shadow had appeared thousands of miles away from Thousand Geese City.

For a moment, countless martial artists, except for those at the Mountain Sea Realm, rushed to seek the inheritance of the Master Dream Shadow.

Chen Fei naturally heard this news.

The Master Dream Shadow, a peerless expert from thousands of years ago.

Min Yanlu had mentioned him to Chen Fei once because of the Dream Technique. Never did they expect that the inheritance cave of this legendary figure would appear here today..
