Chapter 900: Extreme Sublimation

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Where did you get this news?” Yan Ming’an had asked, gently tossing the jade slip in his hand.

“It was slipped to me secretly,” Duan Zhize had replied with a slight smile.

Seeing the news, Duan Zhize had specifically looked up information about the Mortal Combat battle. When he had seen Chen Fei’s performance record in the duel, he had been quite impressed.

Achieving a complete victory over opponents of the same rank had been a feat difficult to accomplish at any level of cultivation.

Especially considering the involvement of the Black Divine and the Shadow Island, accomplishing this had been nearly unimaginable.

The information on the Black Divine had been too scarce for Duan Zhize to judge their strength.

However, Shadow Island was well-known and hosted powerful figures of the peak Sixth Stage Emperor Realm.

What had been more critical was that Shadow Island was actually a branch of another powerful race, meaning it was only a sub-faction of that stronger race.

The fact that even Shadow Island had failed had suggested the Mortal Combat battle held significant value.

Yan Ming’an had nodded, and a ray of light from the ring on his finger had illuminated them both.

Though it had been just a layer of light, it had effectively separated them from the Boundless Sea and prevented others from spying on them.

“The matter of the Mortal Combat battle had been known to Elder Pan a few days ago, but ultimately, Elder Pan had done nothing,” Yan Ming’an had said, looking up at Duan Zhize.

“Why is that?” Duan Zhize had asked, puzzled.

With Chen Fei’s combat power and talent, if he had been sent to the Return to Nothing Realm, he would likely have had a high chance, though not absolute, of breaking through to the Sun Moon Realm.

With additional breakthrough materials, his success rate could have been further improved.

Given Chen Fei’s displayed talent in the Mountain Sea Realm, he should not have stagnated in the early stages of the Sun Moon Realm and might have continued to advance in the future.

Of course, no one could say for sure how far he could advance.

The Return to Nothing Realm lacked ordinary talents but focused on those with potential to break through to the sixth tier.

From Chen Fei’s performance in the Mortal Combat battle, there had still been a small chance, as long as he didn’t perish prematurely.

“In chaotic times, heroes emerged, and even in a declining plane, there could be children of fortune,” Yan Ming’an had said with a smile.

In a declining plane, some fragments of the origin might have fallen, potentially landing in the hands of fortunate beings.

“Are you suggesting that Chen Fei is the child of fortune of the Boundless Sea?” Duan Zhize had asked with a frown.

“Maybe, maybe not. If we’re talking about a child of fortune, that little phoenix might have been a better fit,” Yan Ming’an had replied, shaking his head.

A common beast transforming into a phoenix had been an extraordinary event, almost unheard of even in the Return to Nothing Realm.

To encounter such a phenomenon in the lower realms had been against reason.

“So, what was Elder Pan’s intention?” Duan Zhize had asked, still confused.

“Whether it was that little phoenix, Chen Fei, or Zhu Xiaowen, Elder Pan had not recruited any of them.”

Yan Ming’an had spoken softly. Seeing Duan Zhize still didn’t understand, he had continued:

“Locking the origin of a plane was extremely difficult. Although a plane lacked consciousness, it had operating rules. If they had met with Zhu Xiaowen and others, it might have triggered the plane’s origin.”

Duan Zhize’s expression had changed to one of understanding.

They did not belong to the Boundless Sea, and their essence and spirit came from the Return to Nothing Realm. freewёbnoνel.com

If it had been the peak period of the Boundless Sea, they would have been directly targeted.

Now it was not possible, but meeting with those who contained the plane’s origin might have disturbed the Boundless Sea’s origin.

Of course, it was just a possibility. Given the difficulty of locating the Boundless Sea’s origin, Pan Qingwu had not wanted to complicate matters.

Compared to such treasures as the plane’s origin, having a few more Sun Moon Realm experts in Sky Sea City had seemed trivial.

“So, should they have left things as they were and waited until the origin was locked before making a move?” Duan Zhize had asked in a low voice.

“Yes, Zhu Xiaowen had his own sect and was hard to recruit. The only one they could potentially recruit was that little phoenix,” Yan Ming’an had nodded.

“What about Chen Fei?” Duan Zhize had wondered.

Both Zhu Xiaowen and the phoenix were not as strong as Chen Fei at the fourth tier.

Moreover, Chen Fei had had no sect in the Return to Nothing Realm and had thus been the easiest to recruit.

“Zhan Xuming of the Stellar Sacred Land not only gave Chen Fei the Mountain Sea Chapter of the Stellar Divine Technique but also the Sun Moon Chapter,” Zhan Xuming had said.

“Is it because he was worried that Chen Fei might seek justice for Zhan Xuming in the future?” Duan Zhize had wondered, somewhat enlightened.

“Yes!”

Yan Ming’an had nodded and continued, “Elder Pan had investigated Chen Fei’s past and used his own divination to deduce that once Chen Fei became powerful in the future, he might indeed seek justice for Zhan Xuming!”

Duan Zhize’s brows had furrowed slightly, realizing that Pan Qingwu had also been intrigued by Chen Fei’s talent, leading him to use his divination skills.

Pan Qingwu, who was a disciple of the City Lord of Sky Sea City, had been a powerful figure mastering the principles of Karmic Laws.

His current Divine Powers were also related to causality, allowing him to predict many things based on known information.

The reason for Pan Qingwu coming to the Boundless Sea had been to use his divination abilities to lock onto the plane’s origin.

“Then, will we have to capture Chen Fei afterward?” Duan Zhize had asked quietly.

Since divination had shown that Chen Fei might cause trouble, it would be necessary to eliminate him first.

After all, Chen Fei was still only at the Mountain Sea Realm and had not yet fully matured, making him easy to capture.

“Once the plane’s origin is locked, we will capture Chen Fei. To extract the plane’s origin, it must be done with a power of the same origin. Capturing Chen Fei will serve this purpose perfectly,” Yan Ming’an had said solemnly.

Burning the origin, transcending to the extreme, and drawing out the plane’s origin would certainly result in the person being rendered useless.

It would not be suitable to use Zhu Xiaowen or the phoenix for this purpose; Chen Fei, however, was just right.

“It is a pity for such talent.”

Duan Zhize had shaken his head, reflecting on Chen Fei’s performance in the Mortal Combat battle. Fate and timing had played their roles.

Chen Fei probably didn’t realize yet that his life had already been predetermined.

“Since someone has provided the information, let them keep an eye on Chen Fei and notify us immediately of any updates,” Yan Ming’an had instructed.

“Before coming to see you, I had taken a distant look at Thousand Geese City; it’s already empty,” Duan Zhize had frowned.

“Oh?”

Yan Ming’an had been surprised. They hadn’t even made a move yet, and Chen Fei had already left ahead of time.

It was clear that their earlier lack of overt hostility had not prevented Chen Fei from sensing danger.

“Mobilize those sects to search for the three from the Stellar Sacred Land while also looking for Chen Fei. Since he practices the Stellar Divine Technique, he shouldn’t be able to escape our pursuit!” Yan Ming’an had said firmly.

Although normally one could not escape the Boundless Sea’s bounds, frequent space anomalies might have allowed Chen Fei to slip away through a spatial portal.

Of course, he might be overthinking it; perhaps Chen Fei had simply left to establish a sect elsewhere in the Middle Continent.

Regardless, Chen Fei was the most suitable candidate for burning the origin. If he escaped, they would have to find someone else.

“Understood!” Duan Zhize had nodded.

In the region of Immortal Cloud City, at the former location of the Primordial Sword Sect’s main gate, Chen Fei, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, had suddenly opened them.

Just moments before, a disturbance had appeared in his Heart of Sincerity, stronger than before but from the same source.

Chen Fei’s brows had furrowed as he had appeared in mid-air, looking out at the distant sky.

Even though he had hidden here, the sensation had indicated that his location had likely been discovered; it was only a matter of time.

Chen Fei, lacking time, had introspected and sensed the condition of his fourteen talents.

With the guidance of the Stellar Divine Technique’s Sun Moon Chapter, the fusion of the fourteen talents had proceeded smoothly.

Chen Fei could sense the immense power contained within the divine seed he would need to condense in the future.

A few days ago, he had absorbed the Sixth Demonic Body with minimal disturbance. As a result, he had easily cultivated the Six Desires Demonic Separation—a method known for its difficulty—to the perfected realm.

Both his origin and talents had increased significantly. If someone else had cultivated the Six Desires Demonic Separation to perfection, their gains would have been even greater.

However, Chen Fei’s foundation was exceptionally solid, having already surpassed the usual level for the Mountain Sea Realm. Consequently, each incremental growth had become exceedingly challenging.

To break through to the Sun Moon Realm, it was crucial to use Divine Powers and the internal space to carry even stronger power.

His overly powerful origin and talents had slightly delayed the time needed for talent fusion. After all, the stronger the power, the more effort was required to fuse it together.

Nevertheless, with the guidance of the Stellar Divine Technique’s Sun Moon Chapter, this methodical training still faced no significant obstacles.

However, it required some time.

Chen Fei glanced downward, observing that Qu Qingsheng and others were discussing matters.

The former site of the Primordial Sword Sect had not been occupied by other forces. Now, the current leading faction had its main gate at the former site of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.

This faction was quite domineering, and as a result, almost no other forces dared to establish their main gates nearby.

Chen Fei withdrew his gaze and began to operate the Profound Slaughter Sword, extinguishing all the aura he had revealed.

The threat sensed by the Heart of Sincerity had suddenly decreased.

Yet, the threat had not entirely disappeared; it was still slowly increasing. Clearly, the Profound Slaughter Sword could only provide temporary relief, and the area would eventually be discovered.

Chen Fei turned his gaze and returned to the training room, leaving his clone to guard his main body. He then plunged his soul into the Strange Heart Realm.

The threat sensed by the Heart of Sincerity had decreased further. Although it was still growing, Chen Fei’s soul’s concealment had significantly increased the difficulty of detection for the others.

“I should be able to buy about a month of time. That should be enough for me.”

Chen Fei’s eyes flickered as he operated the Stellar Divine Technique’s Mountain Sea Chapter with his soul, continuing to enhance his proficiency in the Stellar Divine Technique’s Sun Moon Chapter.
