Chapter 225: Returning Home in Glory

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei stood in front of the Hall of True Transmission, looking at the disciples of true transmission in front of him, with a calm expression.

As the Chief Disciple of the true transmission, it should be said that Chen Fei has now reached the highest position achievable among disciples. To go further, he would have to move towards the direction of becoming an elder of the sect.

But to reach this step, what Chen Fei needed to do was to enhance his own strength.

Reaching the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm, he was among the top combatants in other cities. In Immortal Cloud City, however, he could only handle some daily affairs. To become a pillar of the sect, he must achieve the Aperture Tempering realm.

However, just thinking about the Aperture Tempering realm cast a shadow over Chen Feis heart.

After reaching the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm, his mental power became even more agile. This was indeed somewhat helpful in consuming the obsession around the apertures. But it was still just a little more help.

That obsession was extremely tenacious. With Chen Feis current mental power, even achieving visible progress in wearing down the obsession would take a considerable amount of time, around ten days or even half a month.

The main reason was that Chen Fei dared not exert too much force. Outside the apertures, he could only wear it down little by little. If he used too much force, the Apertures would be damaged, causing significant problems.

At this rate, without more than a decade, this obsession couldnt be eliminated at all.

Thinking about the other true transmission disciples in the sect, such as Miao Daoxin and Yan s.h.i.+jin, who had also spent several years at the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm and were still not fully prepared, Chen Feis situation seemed more understandable.

Compared to these people, it seemed reasonable for Chen Fei to stay in his current position for about a decade.

But considering the time that had pa.s.sed since Chen Fei first encountered martial arts, it really hadnt been that long. It was clearly within reach to achieve the Aperture Tempering realm, yet it would take a decade to wear down the obsession. The time spent seemed excessively long.

Waiting for the Dragon Suppressing Elephant!

Chen Fei watched the true transmission disciples sparring in the martial arena and thought to himself. The only thing that might help Chen Fei at this point was the Dragon Suppressing Elephant.

Once the Dragon Suppressing Elephant reached the Great Completion stage, Chen Fei could see if it could accelerate the process of wearing down the obsession. Otherwise, waiting for more than a decade was something Chen Fei was unwilling to do.

Wasnt it just a matter of taking a look at the village near Pingyin County? Although he didnt know if that village still existed, it was still better than wasting more than a decade in the Primordial Sword Sect.

After several days of sparring among the true transmission disciples, the compet.i.tion came to an end.

The top ten rankings of the disciples hardly changed, at most, someone had slightly improved their position by two places, and no disciples outside the top ten managed to climb up.

This was the normal rate at which disciples improved their strength. After all, those who could become true transmission disciples had exceptional talent and apt.i.tude. As you progressed, others were progressing as well.

Chen Fei, who had risen from the bottom of the true transmission disciples to the Chief Disciple position in less than half a year, was considered highly abnormal by others and seen as a prodigy.

Guo Linshans ranking hadnt changed much; he remained at ninety-fourth place. The entry-level true transmission technique he had just learned didnt bring about a significant increase in his strength.

However, this position was good enough. At least, he didnt have to worry about challenges from inner disciples.

The half-year compet.i.tion among the true transmission disciples came to an end, and Chen Fei returned to the True Transmission Peak to begin his daily cultivation. Now that his cultivation had reached the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm, he couldnt break through to the Aperture Tempering realm without opening up his Apertures.

With the spare time on his hands, Chen Fei decided to increase his alchemy efforts. Although he didnt currently have a need for money, he believed that acc.u.mulating resources was always beneficial.

It was similar to learning knowledge through reading books. Even though it might seem useless now, when the right opportunity arose, one wouldnt regret having learned less.

Opportunities favor those who are prepared.

Chen Fei allocated a significant portion of his earned money to his resources. He was confident that he would eventually break through to the Aperture Tempering realm.

As for the cost of simplifying the techniques after reaching the Aperture Tempering realm, it was a complete unknown. Thus, it made sense to save money now in case he needed it when the time came.

In addition to refining pills, the other thing Chen Fei was working on was cultivating the Dragon Suppressing Elephant technique. It was the only technique he was currently cultivating, representing a hope to quickly dispel his obsession.

Chen Fei didnt go back to the Sutra Library to find more manuals to continue his cultivation.

There wasnt much necessity for it. The only technique that could enhance Chen Feis strength at this point was the true transmission inheritance. In the Visceral Tempering realm, a true transmission disciple could only cultivate a single inheritance. This was a rule that couldnt be broken just because of Chen Fei.

As for archery, Chen Fei could still make some improvements. However, the archery techniques stored by the Primordial Sword Sect, while decent, were not exceptional.

The Primordial Sword Sect primarily focused on sword techniques and hadnt specifically collected techniques for other weapons. Many times, these techniques were collected incidentally.

Having witnessed the Demonsweeper Bow of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, Chen Feis desire to cultivate ordinary archery had somewhat diminished.

Chen Feis archery techniques were all derived from a fusion of basics, following the path of using strength to achieve wonders. For ordinary warriors, these techniques were sufficient.

Against slightly stronger opponents, the added level of archery proficiency wouldnt be enough; in the end, Chen Fei would still need to rely on his sword techniques.

Alchemy and cultivating the Dragon Suppressing Elephant technique had become the two tasks Chen Fei consistently worked on every day.

Two months later.

Is Lan Yunzhi expecting a child? Congratulations!

Chi Defeng brought a large bag of medicinal materials and shared the news with Chen Fei. Chen Fei was somewhat surprised to hear this, considering that both Chi Defeng and Lan Yunzhi werent young anymore.

But considering Chi Defengs cultivation, which was approaching the Marrow Tempering realm, and the fact that Lan Yunzhi also possessed some martial skills, it wasnt entirely appropriate to view them with a regular persons perspective.

Bring these medicinal materials to me tomorrow. Ill refine some pills. When the time comes, you can give them to Lan Yunzhi to take. It will help maintain her pregnancy and improve the childs apt.i.tude.

After a moments thought, Chen Fei took out a piece of paper and wrote down the names of several medicinal materials for Chi Defeng to bring.

Chen Fei hadnt formally studied the recipe for this kind of pill that promoted apt.i.tude while still in the womb. But having been an alchemist for so many years, he had read many books to deduce formulae back then.

All of this was acc.u.mulated knowledge and experience from Chen Feis own efforts. Creating such a simple pill recipe wasnt a significant task for him at his current level.

Chi Defeng couldnt help but feel moved and gave a respectful salute to Chen Fei. Given their current relations.h.i.+p, there was no need for formalities; everything between them had become a silent understanding.

Early the next morning, Chen Fei spent half an hour refining dozens of pills that promoted apt.i.tude. He handed them over to Chi Defeng.

Take one pill every ten days; remember not to take too many.

Overconsumption wont be beneficial for the fetus. Chen Fei reminded.

Chen Fei was concerned that Chi Defeng might overconsume the pills out of desperation to secure the health of his own child, which wouldnt be ideal.

Understood!

Chi Defeng carefully received the pills, his face beaming with a smile, and left the Primordial Sword Sect.

Chen Fei had a hint of a smile on his face as well and began his days cultivation.

Time flew by, and before he knew it, four months had pa.s.sed. Half a year had quietly gone by since the previous true transmission compet.i.tion, and it was time for the new compet.i.tion.

Chen Feis thoughts werent focused on the true transmission compet.i.tion anymore. Not only was no one daring to challenge him, but also because the Dragon Suppressing Elephant technique had finally reached the stage of Great Completion.

Chen Feis defenses, endurance, strength, and various other aspects had all significantly increased, as if he truly possessed the power to bind dragons and throw elephants.

At the same time, Chen Feis control over his physical body had reached an even more profound level after achieving the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm. He could even directly stop his heart from beating for over half an hour.

In other words, with the Great Completion of the Dragon Suppressing Elephant technique, even if Chen Feis internal organs were damaged, he could maintain a certain level of combat capability. He would also have time to expedite their recovery using pills.

This single point significantly enhanced Chen Feis survivability and combat prowess, in fact, it greatly strengthened them.

Due to his exceptional control over his physical body, Chen Fei could now manipulate his breath freely. He could alter and converge his aura, seemingly suppressing his cultivation to the Visceral Tempering realm. Even Aperture Tempering realm experts would find it difficult to detect any anomalies.

Aside from these changes, the Great Completion of the Dragon Suppressing Elephant technique had caused Chen Fei to grow a bit taller. As always, he had become more handsome.

This newfound attractiveness made Chen Feis appearance seem very natural. He no longer stood out conspicuously like a sore thumb; instead, his appearance was pleasing and comfortable to the eye.

Chen Fei wasnt overly concerned about these changes; he was more focused on whether achieving the Great Completion of the Dragon Suppressing Elephant technique could accelerate the eradication of the obsession outside his Apertures.

These past few months, this was what Chen Fei had been waiting for.

Two months later, within the Chief Disciples courtyard at the True Transmission Peak.

Chen Fei sat cross-legged. After a moment, he opened his eyes, and their bright and clean appearance was unforgettable.

Since breaking through to the Great Completion stage of the Dragon Suppressing Elephant technique, Chen Feis primary focus had been on wearing down the obsession outside his Apertures. The Dragon Suppressing Elephants Great Completion stage was effective in this regard, and its effects were significant.

What originally might have taken a decade to accomplish could now be halved to six or seven years, thanks to the Great Completion stage of the Dragon Suppressing Elephant technique.

Six or seven years to break through to the Aperture Tempering realm was an acceptable timeframe for most true transmission disciples. Even the true transmission disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect would be content with this timeline.

But Chen Fei wasnt satisfied. Spending six or seven years to break through to the Aperture Tempering realm was too long; he didnt want to wait that long.

In pursuit of erasing this Apertures obsession, Chen Fei had diligently cultivated within the Primordial Sword Sect for almost ten months. Now he found out he needed another six or seven years, and that was under ideal conditions. Chen Fei wasnt even sure if the obsession would truly vanish after that time.

Returning home in glory? Then I should take a good look around! Chen Fei stood up, tidied up his things in the room, placed them into his spatial grid, and then left the courtyard.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Fei appeared in Feng Xiupus courtyard. After a brief moment, he left.

Chen Fei didnt return to the True Transmission Peak; instead, he left the mountain directly, departed from the Primordial Sword Sect, and headed towards the direction of Immortal Cloud City.

Chen Fei has left the sect? As per the previous arrangement, its up to you to protect him. Qu Qingsheng smiled upon hearing the report from Wu Guangyin.

Naturally, disciples like Chen Fei needed to be well protected by the Primordial Sword Sect. Having an Aperture Tempering realm expert to watch over him would help prevent certain incidents.

Wu Guangyin nodded and vanished on the spot.

An hour later, Wu Guangyin reappeared before Qu Qingsheng, his brows slightly furrowed.

Has Chen Fei returned? Qu Qingsheng asked with surprise when he saw Wu Guangyin.

Chen Fei has masked his aura, and I lost track of him! Wu Guangyin wore an incredulous expression on his face. An Aperture Tempering realm expert like him had somehow lost track of a Visceral Tempering realm disciple.

Qu Qingshengs brows furrowed, and he quickly moved towards the courtyard where Feng Xiupu resided. Chen Fei deliberately concealing his aura meant he likely had more than a simple trip to Immortal Cloud City in mind.

Qu Qingsheng was concerned and wanted to get a clear explanation from Feng Xiupu.

Ten days later.

Chen Fei masked his aura, disguising himself as a Bone Tempering realm warrior. He followed an Immortal Cloud trading caravan as it departed from the city.

Their next stop? Apricot Fen City!
