Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Choosing any one of these as the primary talent and integrating the other thirteen would result in drastic changes.

However, Chen Fei ultimately chose the “Unblemished Divine Vision,” the most top-tier physical talent among humans.

Decades had passed since Chen Fei embarked on the martial path. He had practiced countless techniques, mastering each to perfection.

In his heart, he had already concluded which were truly suited to him and which he genuinely preferred.

Chen Fei believed that using the Unblemished Divine Vision as the foundation for his divine abilities would be a wise choice.

With his body still, his inner force flowed slowly, and eventually, the flow of energy began to slow down. His soul was calm, and his mind was undisturbed.

His essence, energy, and soul gradually entered a state of tranquility, as if waiting for a moment—a moment of rebirth.

Days passed, and Chen Fei seemed to become a rock in the cultivation chamber, with all living presences avoiding him.

Inside Primordial Mountain, Qu Qingsheng suddenly opened his eyes with a trace of confusion.

Just moments ago, a heavy mental pressure had appeared abruptly, directly interrupting Qu Qingsheng’s meditation.

Frowning slightly, Qu Qingsheng rose and went outside, finding that everyone above the Combined Aperture Tempering Realm had emerged from their meditation spots.

Zhao Ruizheng and others had already floated in mid-air, their gazes directed towards Chen Fei’s cultivation chamber.

The sense of mental disturbance was not a calamity but a premonition, as if something significant was about to happen.

“Master!” Feng Xiupu saw Qu Qingsheng and flew forward to greet him.

“You felt it too?” Qu Qingsheng asked, turning his head.

Feng Xiupu nodded, glancing at Qu Qingsheng and then at Zhao Ruizheng and the others.

“Go and inquire.” Qu Qingsheng had some guesses but was unsure.

Although Qu Qingsheng had diligently cultivated over the years, he had only advanced to the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering Realm in just over a decade.

While progressing from the early to the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering Realm in such a timeframe was not slow and was even considered rapid, it paled in comparison to the cultivation speed of the Primordial Sword Sect and Chen Fei.

Therefore, Qu Qingsheng was unsure if his guess was correct or merely speculation.

“Master Qu, Brother Feng!”

Seeing Qu Qingsheng and Feng Xiupu approach, Zhao Ruizheng and the others greeted them with a bow.

In Thousand Geese City, circles were divided according to cultivation realms, and this was true for the entire Boundless Sea as well.

If the disparity in cultivation was too great, forcing oneself into another circle would only lead to discomfort.

However, there were a few exceptions in Thousand Geese City.

Qu Qingsheng, as the Sect Master of the Primordial Sword Sect, and Chen Fei, as the Lord of the Tingfeng Pavilion, had different statuses in people’s eyes.

Moreover, Feng Xiupu, Chen Fei’s master, had a relationship that surpassed even the Sect Master’s in influence.

Chen Fei’s exceptional talent and strength made Qu Qingsheng and Feng Xiupu, despite their Combined Aperture Tempering Realm status, equal in status to Zhao Ruizheng and others in the Mountain Sea Realm.

“As for Chen Fei…”

Qu Qingsheng and Feng Xiupu returned the greeting and then turned their attention to Chen Fei’s cultivation chamber.

“We’re not sure either.” Zhao Ruizheng and the others exchanged glances and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Though they were in the Mountain Sea Realm, their knowledge was limited to that realm, and they knew nothing of the higher Sun Moon Realm.

In the Boundless Sea, only a few sacred places possess an understanding of this matter.

In the cultivation chamber, Chen Fei, who had remained as still as a rock, began to see his aura gradually recover.

Like the dawn of all things, Chen Fei’s aura now radiated with extreme vitality.

This was only a superficial change. Within his body, the transformations were even more intense.

At this moment, all fourteen talents had finally merged together.

However, this was not the end but the true beginning of refining the divine ability seed.

“Vroom!”

A faint ripple emanated from within Chen Fei, causing his dormant soul to awaken. He soon observed the state of the fourteen talents.

Chen Fei formed hand seals and directly performed the sealing technique from the Sun Moon chapter of the Stellar Divine Technique. The fourteen talents trembled intensely, like a heartbeat.

A dazzling light erupted from the center of the talent cluster, then spread across Chen Fei’s body.

The talent of teleportation disappeared completely.

Chen Fei felt a surge of clarity in his heart: the talents had fully merged, and now it was time to make a choice.

In the Mountain Sea Realm, condensing the divine ability seed as a method of breakthrough has an implicit advantage: it allows for the targeted selection of abilities from the original talents.

If one were to condense the divine ability seed after reaching the Sun Moon Realm, many abilities would be set in stone and unable to be chosen, as much of the form would already be established upon successfully breaking through.

However, by condensing the divine ability seed beforehand, although the process is much more difficult, the range of choices is significantly expanded.

Chen Fei perceived the teleportation talent, with various directional options clearly presented before him.

Long and short-range teleportation, increasing spatial penetration. Flash teleportation, automatically teleporting to avoid fatal attacks and dissipating force within space. Permanent enhancement of attack speed, movement speed, and reaction speed.

Only one of these three can be chosen; the other two will vanish if one is selected.

Chen Fei considered his options. The first choice represents the basic form of teleportation. It is particularly useful for survival, allowing rapid escape from danger.

Short-range teleportation can also have unexpected advantages in some battles.

However, as future enemies grow stronger, the temporary blind spots created by spatial traversal could become fatal vulnerabilities, easily exploited by opponents.

Overall, the first choice is still valuable. Even though the space in the Return to Nothing Realm is as hard as iron, teleportation still occurs within spatial gaps. While the range may be less than in the Boundless Sea, it still qualifies as teleportation.

Moreover, the explanation suggests a direct enhancement of spatial penetration, providing a slight increase beyond the current capabilities.

The second choice represents the flashing ability Chen Fei had seen previously, which allows for escape from fatal attacks.

Although this ability is rarely used in normal circumstances, it proves extremely useful when needed.

The third choice likely involves modifying the physical attributes to better align with spatial characteristics, thereby achieving a permanent enhancement.

Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and chose the first option.

Since beginning his martial journey, Chen Fei had placed great emphasis on enhancing his movement techniques.

Was it to better confront enemies? Certainly. But the fundamental reason was that if he found himself unable to win, it was better to run quickly.

As long as he wasn’t the slowest to escape from danger, his chances of survival would significantly increase.

Chen Fei was definitely heading to the Return to Nothing Realm, and who knows what dangers it might hold. Sometimes, preserving one’s life was the key to preserving everything else.

If life was lost, everything else would be meaningless.

As Chen Fei’s thoughts settled, the teleportation talent completely merged with the Unblemished Divine Vision, and he found his spatial perception directly enhanced.

Although he did not choose the third option, Chen Fei noticed a slight increase in his attack speed, reaction speed, and movement speed.

It wasn’t as significant as the third option, but due to the enhancement of spatial penetration, it essentially modified his physical attributes, making him more attuned to space.

With the teleportation talent chosen, the second talent, the Prison Suppression, appeared, along with the talents of Sky Piercer and Imprisonment.

These three talents belonged to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant’s exclusive set. Now, integrated into the Unblemished Divine Vision, all three choices appeared simultaneously.

Enhanced strength. Enhanced internal and external defense. Enhanced domain.

The options were clear. Chen Fei immediately eliminated the domain enhancement. Domains were more like a tool for overwhelming weaker opponents.

Against those who were evenly matched, the domain’s power would be diminished due to its large area, causing the strength to scatter.

Naturally, if facing someone stronger, the domain would be like a thin sheet of paper, failing to provide obstruction and even potentially backfiring.

While domains have their merits, Chen Fei preferred to select other options if available.

Chen Fei reflected and chose the second option: enhanced defense.

The reasoning was the same as with the teleportation choice—safety first. Enhance defense, build up protection, and only then consider other aspects.

With the selection of the three Prison Suppression talents, Chen Fei felt his physique strengthening. Both his physical defense and the defenses of his mind and soul improved, and his strength also increased significantly.

Enhancing defense naturally complemented the increase in strength, though with a different focus.

If Chen Fei had chosen to enhance strength, defense would have increased as well, but not as much as with his current choice.

The talents continued to provide options.

Enhance the absorption rate of Void Vital Energy. Strengthen the connection with the Void.

The first option would increase the amount of Void Vital Energy absorbed based on the current foundation.

The second option, however, was a different direction.

If Chen Fei chose the second option, even if someone could sever his connection to the Void, he could still absorb Void Vital Energy through a subtle link.

This choice hinted at a touch of the rule-like quality.
