Chapter 264: Chaos

Chapter 264 – Chaos
A month later, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect formally circulated a message to the sects around Immortal Cloud City, hoping that the sects would contribute manpower to besiege the Divine Flame Sect together.

The content of the circular was very mild, it was just an invitation to besiege the Divine Flame Sect together. However, in the face of this invitation, no sect dared to refuse, nor would they really not send out a single person.

Just because a hegemonic level power was polite to you, that was their pattern, it didn’t mean you could refuse. If you really refused, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect probably wouldn’t do anything to you at that moment.

But what would happen down the road, no one would know, maybe it would turn into the next Divine Flame Sect?

Yuan Chen Sword Sect responded to the invitation and sent three Orifice Practicing Realm to Xian Yun Sword Sect, accompanied by dozens of Viscera Practicing Realm martial artists. Other sects, such as the Changhong Sect and these, sent out manpower comparable to the Yuan Chen Sword Sect.

Chen Fei was naturally not on the list of those going to battle, but stayed in the sect to continue his training.

Ten or so days ago, thanks to the blessing of refining the Spirit Snow Pill, Chen Fei finally filled up the first orifice, and at the same time smoothly opened up the second orifice on the same day, without a single ripple or obstruction.

Apparently the proficient level Heavy Yuan Sword, as well as Chen Fei’s own mind power that far exceeded his current cultivation level, all made opening the second orifice seem extremely natural.

The opening of the second orifice, although there was still a long time to go before it was full, Chen Fei could more clearly perceive the improvement in the realm.

Practicing the Orifices Realm was a process of constantly quenching the power of the mind and spirit, followed by the continuous opening of orifices. The level of the realm was entirely measured by the number of orifices, which was quite simple and easy to understand.

More than a month of cultivation, in addition to allowing Chen Fei’s cultivation to increase, the Vanishing Heavenly Walk as well as the cultivation of the Heavy Elemental Sword hadn’t been left behind either.

The Heavy Yuan Sword was still a fair distance away from the Perfection level, but the Transported Heavenly Walk was already very close to the Proficient level.

Since the simplification of the Transported Heavenly Walking, the speed of cultivation has been very balanced, without encountering any more hurdles or difficulties, and with the Heavy Yuan Sword in general, it has continued to progress by leaps and bounds.

There was also the formula for the Spirit Snow Dan, and with the recent stable refining of the Fei Ling Dan, the proficiency of the Spirit Snow Dan had gradually approached the Grand Completion level. And the outward manifestation of this result was that Chen Fei’s output rate of refining the Spirit Snow Dan was increasing.

Previously, when the Spirit Snow Dan formula had just been perfected, the probability of Chen Fei wanting to produce four pills per furnace of Spirit Snow Dan was only a little more than half. When he refined ten stoves, about five or six stoves would produce four pills, with the rest all being three pills.

Now that Chen Fei had refined ten furnaces of Spirit Snow Dan, the number of times four pills would come out had risen to seven or eight times.

Obviously as the proficiency of the Spirit Snow Pill formula approached the Great Perfection, Chen Fei became more and more comfortable with the refining of the Spirit Snow Pill.

While others needed to rely on status, Chen Fei had directly taken that status and given it an almost solidified presence. This was also a magical power of the panel, as long as it was attained, it would not regress.

It would not become rusty due to the passage of time, a proof forever!
Chen Fei’s recent fame within the Dan Master Alliance had already spread amongst the various Dan Masters, and it was still somewhat spreading.

Previously, the seventh grade dan master and improved Fei Ling Dan had caused Chen Fei to reap a wave of fame, but ultimately, it was only discussed for a while before slowly calming down.

But now Chen Fei has become a sixth grade dan master, which already belongs to the category of high grade dan masters, the entire dan masters alliance, belongs to the high end of the existence of the many low grade dan masters to look up to.

And recently, Chen Fei has been almost frantically picking up the task of refining the Spirit Snow Dan, and almost all of the tasks on the task list regarding the refining of the Spirit Snow Dan have been rounded up by Chen Fei.

And the key thing was that Chen Fei had completed these refining tasks perfectly every time, reaping a large amount of contribution value, making many dan masters envious.

In the eyes of many dan masters, in addition to earning a large batch of contribution value, Chen Fei should have also earned a little bit of Spirit Snow Pill. A Spirit Snow Pill was worth more than thirty thousand taels, and one more out of the furnace was a great gain.

The mere thought of this caused all sorts of envy, as well as jealousy, in the hearts of many dan masters.

Many people wanted to know that after refining so many Spirit Snow Dan, Chen Fei had actually earned a few more. But unfortunately, Chen Fei hadn’t told anyone about this matter.

Even in the middle of the alliance, when he encountered other dan masters and those dan masters asked about it, Chen Fei only smiled but did not answer.

Speaking the truth would hurt, and it was expected that many dan masters wouldn’t believe it either, thinking that Chen Fei was talking big. Since this is the case, it is better not to say anything and let everyone guess for themselves.

Chen Fei practiced cultivation and alchemy, every day was both monotonous and fulfilling because Chen Fei could see his progress in all aspects every day, and it was as if there was no limit to this progress.

As long as one puts in the effort, one could continue to reap the rewards.

Other people, when they worked hard, there were not necessarily rewards. Here in Chen Fei, effort was made, and it would inevitably be reciprocated!
In addition to cultivating, Chen Fei was also paying attention to the battle between the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Divine Flame Sect, and nowadays, everyone in the entire Immortal Cloud City was most concerned about this matter as well.

It was just a bit out of some people’s expectations that in the battle between the Immortal Cloud Sword Faction and the Divine Flame Faction, the Divine Flame Faction had performed quite tenaciously.

It was thought that the Xian Yun Sword Sect, as well as other sects, the synthesized team, would destroy the Divine Flame Sect, just like the result of every siege back then.

But the reality was that several sects were indeed advancing, forcing the Divine Flame Sect to retreat, but the daily deaths and injuries appeared to be a bit too many, among them the Divine Flame Sect, and also on the side of the Sect Alliance.

Of the people sent out by the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, an elder was directly seriously injured and returned to the sect to heal his wounds. At the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s urging, Yuan Chen Sword Sect had to send another elder to make up the number of three.

As for the disciples at the Viscera Practicing Realm, the losses were even greater.

Not only was this the case for the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, but several other sects didn’t have a good time with their manpower either, even the Xian Yun Sword Sect itself had lost some. However, according to the current trend, the Divine Flame Sect would eventually be overthrown, it was the fact that the losses of the various sects would be a bit much.

At first, the Divine Flame Sect’s people wanted to disappear in pieces, just like in the past.

But I don’t know if it’s because the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect did enough preparation this time, but they didn’t give the Divine Flame Sect this chance, chasing after them all the way, not giving the Divine Flame Sect a chance to escape.

Both sides were now approaching Taiyan Mountain, and it was rumored that the lair of the Divine Flame Sect might be there. But whether that was the case or not, no one knew, but both sides were indeed closing in on that side.

The Divine Flame Sect’s people tried to escape to other places several times, but they were forced by several sects to head towards Taiyan Mountain.

“Ka ka ka ka!”

Inside the courtyard chamber, Chen Fei operated the Inherent Sword Technique, causing the Qian Yuan Sword to continuously devour the Heavenly Stone Gold.

The Heavenly Stone Gold that was initially the size of a fist was now less than the size of a finger, and the essence of the disappearing portion was already all within the body of the Qian Yuan Sword.

At this moment, the Qian Yuan Sword was emitting a slight glow, and a spiritual aura filled the surroundings, if one did not look closely, one would think that the Qian Yuan Sword had been upgraded into a Spiritual Artifact.

But now it was almost there, under the Grand Completion level of the Embracing Sword Skill, the efficiency of warming the Qian Yuan Sword was extremely astonishing. And there were also spiritual materials like Heavenly Stone Gold, making the path of promotion of the Qian Yuan Sword, has been very smooth and fast.

According to Chen Fei’s estimation, in at most another month or so, the Qian Yuan Sword should be able to be upgraded into a true spirit sword.

This time would be a few months less than what Chen Fei had initially predicted.

Time passed day by day, and every few days, Chen Fei would head within the Dancer’s Union to take on a task to refine the Spirit Snow Pill, followed by earning a few Spirit Snow Pills back.

The silver taels on the panel had already accumulated quite handsomely, and apart from Chen Fei occasionally selling some Spirit Snow Dan, the most important income came from the Fei Ling Dan.

The selling price of Fei Ling Dan had always been considerable, Chen Fei had not refined Fei Ling Dan to sell in the first place because the source of herbs was too restricted.

However, after recently exchanging herbs within the Dancer’s Union, the problem of the source of herbs was solved at once. Refining Fei Ling Dan could not only improve the proficiency of Spirit Snow Dan, the key was that Fei Ling Dan itself was also very valuable.

Following this pace on, the silver taels for combing the Town Dragon Elephant could soon be raised, and then accumulating some more, perhaps even the money for the simplification of the Town Dragon Elephant, it was possible to get it out.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed, and several sects finally blocked the Divine Flame Sect at Taiyan Mountain. The geography of Taiyan Mountain was not good, there was no way to retreat here, being blocked here, the Divine Flame Sect almost had no room to escape.

And that was why the people from several sects had chosen to block the Divine Flame Sect at Taiyan Mountain. Regardless of whether or not Taiyan Mountain was the nest of the Divine Flame Sect, the people of the Divine Flame Sect who had been discovered now, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect didn’t want to spare a single one of them.

Seemingly also understanding their own situation, at Taiyan Mountain, the Divine Flame Sect’s people displayed an astonishing fighting spirit, going so far as to stalemate with the people of several sects in this desperate situation.

This kind of stalemate, in the eyes of the people of Immortal Cloud City, was expected to be broken in a few days. But to one’s surprise, this stalemate directly lasted for half a month.

In half a month’s time, it was as if Taiyan Mountain had turned into a meat grinder, and a very large number of Viscera Practicing Realm martial artists had died. Not only was it the Viscera Practicing Realm, even the martial artists at the Orifice Practicing Realm had all died six times in these ten days.

These six were both from the Divine Flame Sect and several other sects.

Luckily, the three practitioner realms of the Yuan Chen Sword Sect were only injured, and there were no casualties.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect reissued its summoning order, calling on the other sects to continue to send in additional manpower, and the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect itself re-sent a number of people towards this place.

However, just as everyone had guessed before, Taiyan Mountain seemed to really be the territory of the Divine Flame Sect, and even though the other sects had added quite a few people over, they were still unable to break the stalemate.

Although there was indeed a slow push upwards, the speed was too slow and the losses were too great.

Until, that is, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s Harmonization Realm powerhouse stepped in!

A stream of light was seen flashing in the sky above the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, flying in the direction of Taiyan Mountain.

The sky, belonged to the strongest of the Harmonized Orifices Realm. The Harmonization Realm could only briefly stagnate in the air, and was still far from being able to fly freely. Thus, it was clear that the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had made a big move.

A group of people within Immortal Cloud City were exuberant, it had been too many years since the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had allowed a strong person of the Harmonization Realm to make a move. Obviously, the Immortal Cloud Sword Faction didn’t want to dawdle any longer and wanted to directly resolve Taiyan Mountain.

A day later, a huge light exploded on Taiyan Mountain.

The violent vibrations could be clearly felt even dozens of miles apart.

Two days later, martial artists from various sects fled back to their sects in panic, bringing with them the shocking news that the strong Harmonization Realm practitioner from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was, well, dead.
