Chapter 285: The Godslayer
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Inside the Sutra Library, the other figures quickly steered clear of Chen Fei’s area.
Everything that had just occurred, they had observed from beginning to end. They had initially wanted to witness Chen Fei’s misfortune, as it was quite rare to encounter soone so fresh in their breakthrough, yet so recklessly audacious.
The outco was that Chen Fei’s situation had not turned into a source of amusent. Instead, it beca a source of amusent watching Nie Zhiyang’s predicant and even their own folly.
They were laughing at their own narrow-mindedness.
Chen Fei paid no mind to the opinions of the others in the Sutra Library. He sat cross-legged on the ground, bringing the well-preserved ntal cultivation techniques before him, and began reading them one by one.
Chen Fei’s reading speed was incredibly fast. In just a short while, he had flipped through half of the ntal cultivation techniques. Most of them were quite similar, and none of them had much impact on him.
The ntal cultivation technique he currently practiced had already incorporated many aspects from various manuals. It had evolved from the initial Tranquil Heart Technique to the current Thousand Threads Technique.
Ordinary ntal cultivation techniques were hardly effective on Chen Fei anymore. He had prepared for this situation because rare as ntal cultivation techniques were, advanced ones were even rarer.
Hmm?”
After flipping through several more manuals, Chen Fei’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten as he gazed at the content of a particular manual.
The Godslayer Sword!
That was the na of this manual. As the na implied, mastering this technique to a high level allowed one to slay the minds of their enemies without suffering a backlash.
The lack of a backlash was the most crucial aspect that caught Chen Fei’s attention.
Core soul energy is crucial for cultivators in the Aperture Tempering Realm. It affects the control and developnt of their acupoints.
Typically, cultivators in this realm avoid directly attacking their opponents using core soul energy. This is because the fluctuations in a cultivator’s blood and elental energy can hinder the penetration of another person’s core soul energy.
Using core soul energy for direct attacks is not very effective, and it can also damage one’s own core soul energy.
Unless there’s a significant gap in core soul energy, such as a cultivator in the Aperture Tempering Realm attacking a cultivator in the Body Refining Realm, such attacks are usually precise and without unexpected consequences.
Even if a cultivator in the Body Refining Realm has a spiritual weapon protecting their core soul energy, it would be difficult to withstand an attack from a cultivator in the Aperture Tempering Realm due to the vast difference in quantity and quality of core soul energy.
However, when dealing with opponents of the sa realm, this advantage disappears. Both the quantity and quality of core soul energy are on a similar level, making it challenging to penetrate the protection of blood and elental energy without risking counterattacks and backlash.
Chen Fei rarely used his core soul energy to attack others, as most cultivators in the Aperture Tempering Realm did the sa.
The Godslayer Sword technique, on the other hand, took a unique approach. Its fundantal principle involved splitting one’s own core soul energy into two parts and refining the smaller portion into a separate entity called the Mind Sword.
Once the Mind Sword was cultivated, it could be directly used in combat without causing vibrations or backlash to the cultivator’s own core soul energy.
Since the Mind Sword and the cultivator’s core soul energy were now two independent entities, it was akin to using a bow and arrow. Once an arrow was released, no one worried about the bow getting damaged if the arrow missed its target.
This was the basic idea behind the technique, and Chen Fei was intrigued by this principle.
“Great technique! However, the fact that the separated Mind Sword can only be used once is a bit of a double-edged sword. This thod can harm both the enemy and the user,” Chen Fei thought to himself.
The act of splitting one’s own core soul energy would inherently cause damage, and it would require ti to recover.
The core soul energy has been refined into a Mind Sword, and it can only be used once. In other words, it can only be used as a last resort, which makes it sowhat underwhelming.
Chen Fei placed the “Godslayer Sword” aside and quickly perused other ntal techniques, but there were no other surprises to be found. The most advanced among them was not much different from the “Heart Locking Technique” that Chen Fei originally learned. Even if he were to incorporate these techniques into the “Thousand Threads Technique,” it wouldn’t significantly improve its effectiveness.
Chen Fei stood up, and in just a short while, he sensed several auras outside the Sutra Library. Without confronting those individuals, Chen Fei held the manual for the “Godslayer Sword” and disappeared within the repository.
In most sects, the majority of resources were stored in places similar to treasure vaults. However, this was only a portion of the resources.
Certain items, such as elental stones and spiritual materials used by Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, were kept in separate, more secure locations.
These were the primary targets the representatives from various sects were currently searching for. After all, these storage areas might contain the vast resources accumulated by the Long Rainbow Sect over many years.
For a sect to thrive, relying solely on accumulated resources was unsustainable and would lead to its decline. The Long Rainbow Sect had prospered for many years and continued to grow, in part due to careful resource managent.
While so mbers had already evacuated as a precaution, taking valuable resources with them, there were still so resources that they couldn’t move in ti and were now trapped behind the sect’s gates by the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s sudden arrival.
The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s speed had been so overwhelming that the Long Rainbow Sect couldn’t evacuate in ti or destroy many of their belongings.
Once they located the storage area, even if most of its contents were destroyed, the remaining resources were still unimaginably vast from a personal perspective. As for the agreent to surrender fifty percent of the recovered resources to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect afterward, that still held true.
Chen Fei’s figure flickered as he landed on the eave of a pavilion, looking down from a vantage point at the entire terrain of the Long Rainbow Sect.
The map of the Long Rainbow Sect was now well-known to any Aperture Tempering realm cultivators who ca here. The most crucial treasure locations were already marked, and there were also so suspected locations.
However, these suspected locations were currently overcrowded, and Chen Fei had no intention of going there. After leaving the Sutra Library, he had actually considered checking out the top inheritance grounds of the Long Rainbow Sect.
Just as the real treasures were not usually stored in the treasure vault, the techniques inside the Sutra Library were certainly not where the top inheritances of the Long Rainbow Sect were kept.
For example, in the Primordial Sword Sect, several inheritances were stored beneath the Hall of True Transmission. The Long Rainbow Sect should have similar places, such as underground chambers similar to the Hall of True Transmission.
Chen Fei’s gaze flickered, and his ntal power extended outward, sensing his surroundings, especially the underground. However, he found nothing.
Whether it was due to the concealnt of formations or if there was genuinely nothing there, he couldn’t tell.
This was already the third potential location for inheriting techniques that Chen Fei had investigated, but he had found nothing. Especially in the main Hall of True Transmission, there were no hidden passages or anything of the sort.
Evidently, the Long Rainbow Sect’s approach to storing techniques was different from that of the Primordial Sword Sect.
“Where could they have put them?” Chen Fei furrowed his brows slightly. While he also liked Elental Stones and Spiritual Pills, there were too many people fighting over them now. Facing mid Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, Chen Fei had no advantage. Moreover, he could still obtain pills through the Alchemist Alliance.
On the other hand, techniques were sothing Chen Fei could excel at because of the panel’s capabilities, which had significant aning for him. As for whether the techniques he found in the Long Rainbow Sect would be maliciously altered, it was not within Chen Fei’s consideration because the panel would help him verify them.
However, the current problem was that Chen Fei couldn’t find the location of the Long Rainbow Sect’s inheritance techniques. They were undoubtedly concealed by formations, making it impossible to locate.
Many formations had the capability to directly deceive probing by core soul energy. Chen Fei’s understanding of formations was relatively basic, and the formation he was best at now was the Dragon Elephant Formation he had learned on the fly.
“Dragon Elephant Formation?”
Chen Fei’s expression suddenly changed slightly. When the Dragon Elephant True Immortal arranged formations in the cave, he didn’t use any formation tools. Instead, he directly used elental energy to set up the formation and then drew on the elental energy in the mountains to activate it.
As a result, the Dragon Elephant Formation could slightly interfere with the flow of elental energy in the mountains and rivers.
So, Chen Fei could now set up a Dragon Elephant Formation to observe the formations around him, effectively discovering the hidden places within the Long Rainbow Sect.
Radiant light emanated from Chen Fei’s right hand, and then he pressed his palm to the ground. Using a special thod, the elental energy in his palm condensed into a formation. In the blink of an eye, a simple Dragon Elephant Formation took shape in Chen Fei’s hand.
Chen Fei had already practiced the Dragon Elephant Formation to the level of perfection, so he could easily set it up at will. However, this level of formation didn’t possess significant power because the absorbed earth’s vein elental energy was not substantial enough. Nevertheless, Chen Fei was using it solely to investigate the surrounding formations.
With his eyes half-closed, Chen Fei’s Dragon Elephant Formation now acted as his eyes, freely roaming underground, observing the flow of elental energy within the earth’s veins.
After a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei opened his eyes. There were no formations around, and the earth’s veins underfoot were empty, with no hidden places.
Undeterred, Chen Fei withdrew the Dragon Elephant Formation, his figure turning into a phantom as he ran back to the places he had previously investigated.
In just a mont, Chen Fei arrived at the Long Rainbow Sect’s martial arena. His right hand emitted a shimring light, and in the next instant, the Dragon Elephant Formation took shape and was placed under his feet.
Chen Fei’s core soul energy extended with the Dragon Elephant Formation, and in the next mont, his eyes suddenly opened wide. The Dragon Elephant Formation had detected a slight fluctuation in another formation. Indeed, there was a hidden formation beneath the martial arena.
Chen Fei didn’t imdiately destroy the martial arena, as that would draw too much attention. If anyone happened to pass by and saw a gaping hole, they would realize sothing was amiss beneath the martial arena.
Instead, Chen Fei moved several hundred ters away from the martial arena, calculated the position of the hidden formation from earlier, and dug a small tunnel accordingly. He crawled through the tunnel and took care to conceal the entrance sowhat.
Not concerning himself with the tunnel’s stability, Chen Fei dug rapidly. In just a short mont, he arrived at the location of the hidden formation.
Here, he finally saw the area behind the formation, which revealed a massive cave artificially excavated. At the rear of the cave, faint glimrs of light shimred..
