Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques-Chapter 775 - : Shattering the Void

Chapter 775: Shattering the Void

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The news of the Ethereal Lake spread rapidly across the entire Middle Continent.

The major Sacred Lands didn’t even consider concealing this information. Matters concerning the fate of the entire Middle Continent were of utmost importance, and secrecy served no purpose. It was better to make the situation public.

Within the Thousand Geese City, Chen Fei furrowed his brows as he looked over the message handed to him.

Although the dark clouds over Thousand Geese City had dissipated, the lingering sense of oppression remained, refusing to dissipate. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Those with higher cultivation could perceive this more clearly, while those below the Combined Aperture Tempering realm were oblivious to it. “Manipulating the rules!”

Chen Fei shifted his gaze away from the jade slip. The power of the Black Divine was truly astonishing, no wonder they dared to traverse through space to the Boundless Sea and seek to conquer it.

It was just unfortunate that the Boundless Sea could only accommodate power up to the Fifth-Tier, even just in the mid-stage of the Fifth-Tier. Any stronger, and it would clash with the rules of the entire world.

No matter how powerful a cultivator was, they were still individuals. Unless they were truly boundless in their strength, it was impossible to contend with an entire world.

The Black Divine was formidable, but in the end, could only dissipate part of its origin, in order to step into the Endless Realm.

Normally speaking, the Black Divine himself had an extremely high realm. Even if his power dropped to the Fifth-Tier, he should have been invincible among the Fifth-Tier.

Within the Boundless Sea, there should have been no opponents.

However, the eventual outcome, after decades of continuous battles, was the sealing of the Black Divine.

It was precisely from that time onwards that the method of deity incarnation spread throughout the Boundless Sea, learned from the Black Divine. However, the learning was incomplete, with significant drawbacks.

The Black Divine’s purpose in occupying the Boundless Sea was also extremely simple – it was for the vast population’s faith. But in the end, it failed.

Killing the Black Divine would definitely be a permanent solution, and it might even allow for the division of the Black Divine’s authority.

But unfortunately, it couldn’t be killed. The essence of the Black Divine was too high, definitely reaching the Sixth-Tier.

This was something that those in the Boundless Sea, whether Sun Moon Realm experts or Monster Emperors, completely failed to comprehend the levels of power.

Without understanding, the idea of killing or dividing naturally became an absurdity.

It was thought that such a seal could continue for many more years, but unexpectedly, the Black Divine eventually broke free, and even familiarized himself with some of the rules of this world, creating such a domain barrier. This barrier bore a striking resemblance to certain aspects of this world, namely that powers above a certain level could not enter it.

At that time, the Black Divine only possessed power up to the Fourth-Tier, so this barrier did not allow powers above the Fourth-Tier to enter.

In other words, beings like Sun Moon Realm experts or Fifth-Tier Monster Emperors could not step into the barrier. If they wished to force their way in, it was possible, but they had to disperse their own origin, just like the Black Divine did in the past.

When a Sun Moon Realm expert becomes a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator, or when a Monster Emperor becomes a Monster King, then they can enter the barrier.

This discovery left the Sun Moon Realm experts of the major Sacred Lands and those esteemed Monster Emperors utterly dumbfounded.

After painstakingly cultivating to their current level, they had been trying various methods to break through the limits of the Boundless Sea, reaching the later stages or even the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm, in order to shatter the void and enter a new world.

Yet they were told that they needed to dissipate the cultivation they had worked so hard to attain. How could they bear such a notion?

In the past, it was possible to cultivate to the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm in the Boundless Sea, then shatter the void and ascend during daylight.

However, something happened later on; the rules of the entire Boundless Sea began to change, causing the levels of power to suddenly drop to the later stages of the Mountain Sea Realm. freeweɓnøvel.com

In the few hundred years following the changes, there were still astonishing geniuses who forcefully broke through to the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm and quickly left this world.

But as time passed, the changes in the rules became more and more severe Even the geniuses found it impossible to break through to the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm, and even reaching the later stages of the Sun Moon Realm became extremely difficult.

The arrival of the Black Divine seemed to stimulate the rules of this world. After sealing the Black Divine, the levels of power directly dropped to the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, and even reaching the later stages became unattainable.

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered as the information in the jade slip opened up his perspective. The richness of the information contained within was truly eye-opening for him.

With the Black Divine condensing the barrier and the Sun Moon Realm unable to enter, the major Sacred Lands generously disclosed some of the world’s secrets.

The matter of the Black Divine, if not handled properly, would indeed be a disaster for the entire world.

This was not merely a struggle between humans and monsters, or some Evil dispute. It involved all species, all of whom would be under the rule of the Black Divine.

Spreading this information, the major Sacred Lands’ goal was actually quite simple – to rally all cultivators of the Mountain Sea Realm from across the Middle Continent to the Ethereal Lake, to slay the Black Divine.

To make Sun Moon Realm cultivators lower their cultivation and enter the barrier of the Black Divine, it’s unlikely that any Sun Moon Realm experts or Monster Emperors would willingly do so unless absolutely necessary.

Lowering their cultivation doesn’t guarantee they can break through again afterward.

Moreover, many Sun Moon Realm cultivators have already exceeded a thousand years in lifespan, which is the limit of the Mountain Sea Realm. Once they disperse their cultivation, if they cannot break back into the Sun Moon Realm in a short period, they will simply age to death.

In such circumstances, how could these Sun Moon Realm experts and Monster Emperors be willing to take such risks?

Since now only Fourth-Tier powers can enter the barrier of the Black Divine, it might be better to let Mountain Sea Realm cultivators and Monster Kings enter it instead, to find and potentially slay the Black Divine.

The Black Divine created this barrier to adapt to this world, which diluted his original Sixth-Tier essence significantly.

Back then, they couldn’t kill him, only seal him. Now that he’s only at the Fourth-Tier, it might be possible to forcefully kill him.

However, the original power level of the Black Divine was still extremely high. Even though he’s currently only at the Fourth-Tier, he’s not comparable to other Fourth-Tier powers.

It would require a sufficient number of Mountain Sea Realm cultivators and Monster Kings to gather and overwhelm him to death.

Re-sealing him might also be an acceptable outcome.

At this moment, within the barrier of the Black Divine, new monsters were continuously being born.

These monsters were formed within the Black Divine’s barrier, absorbing the soul fragments drifting in the energy of the heavens and earth within the Boundless Sea, then coalescing into new creatures.

There’s a theory that the souls of the creatures born in this world are almost entirely formed from the soul fragments in the energy of the heavens and earth. And now, the Black Divine is doing just that.

The more monsters there are within the barrier of the Black Divine, the faster the Black Divine will restore his origin. Therefore, stepping into the barrier of the Black Divine cannot be delayed.

Even if the Black Divine cannot be slain, the newly born monsters within his barrier must be continuously exterminated.

The major Sacred Lands attempted to isolate the energy of the heavens and earth outside the barrier, setting up an array spanning hundreds of miles. For other powers, this would be a fanciful notion, but for the Sacred Lands, although troublesome, it was not impossible.

However, as the array successfully condensed, it was discovered that while the energy of the heavens and earth had decreased, the rate at which new monsters appeared within the barrier of the Black Divine remained unchanged.

The barrier of the Black Divine directly connected to the energy of the heavens and earth of the Middle Continent, continuing to draw soul fragments from it. The array set up by the major Sacred Lands had no effect on the barrier of the Black Divine whatsoever.

Many methods had been tried, and now the only option left was to enter the barrier of the Black Divine and engage these monsters in close combat.

Naturally, the barrier of the Black Divine favored monsters, suppressing other creatures; this was almost inevitable.

The monsters within the Black Divine’s domain experienced rapid power growth. They might have started as First-Tier creatures when they appeared, but by the next day, they could become Second-Tier, and after some time, they might even reach the Fourth-Tier.

One could only imagine the staggering number of monsters within the barrier of the Black Divine.

Engaging in combat with these monsters within the barrier of the Black Divine would have been an extremely dangerous endeavor.

Everyone understood this, and the major Sacred Lands were well aware of it too, which was why they had offered astonishing rewards.

“All esoteric arts except for the sect’s core techniques has been made available.”

Chen Fei’s eyes had narrowed slightly as he had contemplated the reward mechanism he had just seen.

The danger had been real, but so had the benefits. This time, the major Sacred

Lands hadn’t been playing around; they had been using rewards and righteousness to motivate you to slay monsters.

All sorts of heavenly treasures and earthly materials, many of which had only been heard of but never seen by many Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, had been listed in the rewards.

As long as one could safely return from the barrier of the Black Divine, they might not have become incredibly wealthy, but they could certainly have improved their cultivation level significantly.

Chen Fei’s gaze pondered deeply. The Dream Shadow Master had been at the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm back then, and his martial arts level had been unquestionable. It should have reached the level of the top-tier sect’s core techniques, such as the current Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword.

But the Strange Heart Realm was filled with treacherous dangers, and obtaining the Dream Shadow Stone from there wouldn’t have been much easier than going to the barrier of the Black Divine.

“Do I want to go to the barrier of the Black Divine?”

Now that he understood everything, Chen Fei felt somewhat hesitant about whether to go or not.

If Chen Fei were to diligently cultivate for several decades according to the routine, he could certainly reach the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm By then, with some consolidation, he might even be able to break through to the Sun Moon Realm.

But with the appearance of the barrier of the Black Divine, there was no way he could have had several decades of peaceful cultivation.

Although it’s said that when disaster strikes, there’s someone to shoulder it, Chen Fei still hoped to have enough ability to protect himself.

And this sufficient self-protection ability, at least, required reaching the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm, or even directly entering the Sun Moon Realm.

With the rewards offered by the major Sacred Lands now, including many heavenly treasures and earthly materials like Heavenly Rain Flowers and Golden Purple Grass, if his power were sufficient, Chen Fei could completely accelerate his own cultivation progress.

There were also those Sacred Lands’ esoteric arts. By integrating several of them, Chen Fei could definitely reach the level of the core techniques of the Sacred Lands. Then, breaking through to the Sun Moon Realm would become a natural progression.

“Let’s wait another month, first cultivate the Suppressing Dragon Elephant to Great Completion, and then we’ll have the power of blood rebirth!”

Chen Fei suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and resumed his meditation with closed eyes.

With the power of blood rebirth, Chen Fei at least had a retreat. And this retreat would provide him with the greatest assurance.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. The attention of the entire Middle Continent was focused on the Ethereal Lake. Many Mountain Sea Realm cultivators had already arrived at the lake, preparing to enter the barrier of the Black Divine with their teams.

And on this day, Chen Fei’s cultivation of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant reach Great Completion.

Inside the city of Thousand Geese, regardless of their level of cultivation, faintly, everyone heard a roar that seemed to come from ancient times. ’
