Chapter 400: The First Ti in My Life
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Before Chen Fei ca to West Cloud City, he was sowhat worried that West Cloud City might have been directly wiped out in the last disaster of cunning and misfortune. After all, at that ti, many forces were dispatched to supervise Shangwu City, and almost anyone with a bit of strength would send soone there.
The strength of the Sword Return Tower was naturally formidable. There were two advanced stage Aperture Tempering realm cultivators previously, and several Aperture Tempering realm cultivators at other realms, making them dominant in the vicinity of West Cloud City.
However, in the last encounter, Xing Xinzhao was besieged by Qu Qingsheng and Zhou Zixuan, his Aperture was shattered, and his strength must have significantly declined. It would be difficult for him to remain at the Aperture Tempering realm Middle Stage, and the best-case scenario would be the Aperture Tempering realm Initial Stage.
Probably because of this, the Sword Return Tower did not send anyone to join the excitent in Shangwu City again. After all, they had their own affairs to deal with, and they couldn’t spare the ti to ddle in the affairs of the world.
Moreover, Shangwu City was more than a thousand miles away from West Cloud City. With such a distance, by the ti Shangwu City arrived, the Sword Return Tower would have more than enough ti to leave.
In a sense, it could even be said that they were fortunate because of this misfortune.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
The power attached to the arrow beca stronger and stronger, and both the bow and the arrow emitted a sharp sound at this mont. This was because the materials of both the bow and arrow were limited and sowhat unable to withstand such a trendous force.
Chen Fei remained expressionless, manipulating the Thousand Thread Technique to constantly adjust the power.
With the Great Thunder Sword reaching Great Completion, it ant that Chen Fei could freely manipulate the power of thunder within the scope of the Great Thunder Sword’s application. With the subtle control of the Thousand Thread Technique, the basic conditions for the electromagnetic cannon were already in place.
The only drawback was that the execution speed was relatively slow. It was only suitable for besieging cities and breaking through enemy fortifications. In a face-to-face battle, with such a long preparation ti, he would probably have already lost his way.
As ti passed, the montum on Chen Fei’s body beca increasingly powerful, and the power contained in the arrows beca more and more exaggerated, even surpassing the power limit of the combination of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant and the Primordial Sword Scripture.
And this was not the end; although the bow and arrow were already trembling at this mont, in Chen Fei’s observation, more power could still be added.
Chen Fei exerted a slight force with his arms, stabilizing the bow and arrow.
Within a radius of several hundred ters around Chen Fei, all was silent. Whether it was the birds, beasts, or insect chirping, they had all disappeared without a trace. The terrifying aura pressed down on them, leaving them unable to move a muscle.
At the main peak of the Sword Return Tower,
Sui Wengong, who was ditating cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. Unexplainably, a sense of crisis erged in Sui Wengong’s heart, and as ti passed, this sense of crisis beca increasingly heavy.
But at this mont, he was in the main peak of the Sword Return Tower, which had the strongest protective power within the Sword Return Tower.
If he felt a sense of crisis here, how powerful would the incoming force have to be?
Xing Xinzhao walked out of his private chamber within the main peak. He had been healing, but he was also awakened by the impending sense of danger. Although Xing Xinzhao was injured, his injuries were mainly concentrated in his acupoints, and his ntal state was not heavily affected.
Therefore, in terms of sensing danger, he was on par with Sui Wengong.
Sui Wengong and Xing Xinzhao both walked out of the main hall. Outside the hall, the wind was gentle, and in the distance, the setting sun was still radiating its last warmth, painting the sky crimson.
However, at this mont, neither Xing Xinzhao nor Sui Wengong had the heart to appreciate these sights.
The sense of crisis weighing on their hearts had intensified in just a mont, and as ti passed, it continued to rise, seemingly without end.
Sword Return Eye!
Sui Wengong pointed his right hand as if drawing a sword and touched his own brow. In an instant, the surrounding space seed to slow down significantly. Sui Wengong calmly sensed for a mont and then looked to his right.
Xing Xinzhao was slightly slower, but his gaze also turned towards the distance. There, an extrely powerful force was gathering, but it was too far away to sense until just now.
“Activate!”
Sui Wengong shouted lowly, and the formation of the Sword Return Tower suddenly rose, exuding a chilling aura.
All disciples of the Sword Return Tower involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky in confusion. Not only the new disciples but even the senior disciples who had been with the sect for many years had never seen such a formation before.
The Sword Return Tower had been thriving for many years. Several decades ago, there were other sects competing with them in the vicinity. However, as the Sword Return Tower produced advanced stage Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, these competing sects gradually disappeared.
As a result, for many years, the Sword Return Tower had not encountered any significant challenges, let alone a situation where the sect’s formation was actively activated.
The elders of the Sword Return Tower who were at the Aperture Tempering realm cultivation level sensed the change in the formation and rushed to the main peak. They saw the solemn expressions of Sui Wengong and Xing Xinzhao.
“Master, what is this?” soone asked with confusion.
Due to the distance being too great, the other Aperture Tempering realm cultivators did not have the sensing ability of Sui Wengong and Xing Xinzhao. Many of them only felt a slight anomaly, but it was just that—a slight anomaly.
“There is soone over there with strong hostility towards our sect,” Xing Xinzhao whispered.
His ntal power spread out, connecting the Sword Return Eyes of everyone present. In the next mont, everyone sensed a powerful force coming towards them from afar.
Sensing the intensity of this force, everyone’s expressions changed, including Xing Xinzhao and Sui Wengong.
Even though they had sensed the formidable nature of this force earlier, it was only after connecting everyone’s perception together that they realized that this force had reached the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm cultivation level.
At the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm cultivation level, Xing Xinzhao and Sui Wengong had never offended such top-tier experts in all their years. In recent tis, due to Xing Xinzhao’s injury, they had even reduced the influence of the Sword Return Tower.
No grudges in the past, no recent enmity. Xing Xinzhao and Sui Wengong couldn’t make sense of it.
If they had to ntion soone they had recently offended, it would be the Primordial Sword Sect. However, the strongest in the Primordial Sword Sect was only at the advanced stage Aperture Tempering realm cultivation level. Even though they had retrieved their secret manual, refining it into a true skill was not sothing that could be accomplished quickly.
As for the disciples of their sect offending such a powerful expert, it was likely that they would have been obliterated on the spot, and there was no way they would have taken so long to track them to the sect.
“Concentrate!”
Sui Wengong shouted lowly, and the blade in his hand emitted a dazzling light. The power of the entire Sword Return Tower formation was concentrated on Sui Wengong alone.
At the sa ti, other Aperture Tempering realm cultivation level elders stood at the formation’s core on the main peak, infusing their energy into the formation, continuously boosting Sui Wengong’s power.
This was the function of a sect’s formation – it could unite and focus the power of all its mbers. With Sui Wengong’s current strength, he was at the advanced stage Aperture Tempering realm cultivation level, and there was no way he could break through alone. He might even be defeated here.
Unless a situation like the one where the Long Rainbow Sect was besieged by multiple sects occurred, where the power of the formation, while still present, was overwheld by the sheer number of opponents and was rendered powerless.
Several miles away,
Chen Fei saw the Sword Return Tower’s formation rising, his expression unmoving. It was inevitable for the Sword Return Tower to notice sothing unusual, especially considering the trendous montum gathered by Chen Fei’s arrow.
Regardless of the circumstances, there were Aperture Tempering realm cultivators at the late stage within the Sword Return Tower, and if they didn’t react to such a situation, it would be a sign of their vulnerability.
Chen Fei didn’t care whether the Sword Return Tower would discover the situation or not. When it ca to conquering a sect’s mountain gate, ultimately, it was about each side’s strength.
In this world, sches and tricks could be effective, and very effective at that, but it required roughly equal strength between the parties or a slight disadvantage for strategy to play a crucial role.
However, if one side possessed significantly greater strength than the other, the effectiveness of strategy would be greatly diminished.
Just like when the Cliff Mountain Sect attacked Qinhai City, despite Qinhai City’s defenses, the Cliff Mountain Sect only needed a decapitation strategy, rendering the city’s defense useless.
This was a world where power ultimately mattered. In the end, it was strength that counted.
Just like dominant forces, all they needed was an Aperture Tempering realm cultivator to suppress the energy circulation. Everything else was secondary. As long as there was an Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, all other forces would obediently attach themselves to them.
“Sizzle!”
The sound of magnetic storms was incessant, and despite being desperately suppressed, the bow and arrow were still trembling, and the amplitude of the tremors was increasing.
It seed as if, in the next mont, the entire bow and arrow set would explode.
Star Gazing Art!
The scene at the Sword Return Tower’s main peak was getting closer in Chen Fei’s eyes. Vaguely, Chen Fei saw Sui Wengong and Xing Xinzhao, as well as the other Sword Return Tower elders standing to the side.
Seemingly sensing Chen Fei’s gaze, Sui Wengong, who had gathered a group of experts, also turned to look in Chen Fei’s direction.
Sui Wengong didn’t possess the Star Gazing Art, so he couldn’t see such a distant location, but with the support of the Sword Return Eyes and the enhanced formation, he had beco extrely sensitive to the scrutiny of his gaze.
Seeing Sui Wengong’s reaction, Chen Fei revealed a slight smile. In the next mont, he released the arrow in his right hand.
“Buzz!”
A burst of sonic clouds appeared behind Chen Fei. The trees in the vicinity were shattered by the power fluctuations, turning into splinters. With Chen Fei as the center, an area of more than ten ters in radius turned into a clearing.
Further away, rocks shattered, trees were uprooted, as if this place had beco the epicenter of a storm.
This arrow’s power was so astonishingly great that in a conventional battle, Chen Fei would never be able to unleash such force on the spot.
Chen Fei’s iron longbow in his left hand had turned to dust at so point. It was just an ordinary iron longbow, and without the support of elental energy, it was instantly destroyed.
Under the Star Gazing Art, Chen Fei watched as the arrow pierced through the air, creating a hole in the atmosphere. Despite the several miles of distance, it seed to arrive in front of the Sword Return Tower’s main peak in the blink of an eye.
Just as the formation outside the Sword Return Tower’s mountain gate had just issued a warning, a deafening sonic boom resounded throughout the entire Sword Return Tower. All Sword Return Tower disciples stared in astonishnt at the location of the main peak, where a dazzling light erupted.
“Boom!”
The Sword Return Tower’s main peak shook, and the elental energy of heaven and earth surged, causing the hearts of all Sword Return Tower disciples to skip a beat, and a hint of panic involuntarily crept into their hearts.
This kind of power was sothing they had never witnessed in their entire lives..
