Chapter 350: Listening to Heaven’s Fate
The torn arm could not be recovered, and with the orifices being used like this, Xing Xin Zhao would not be able to open any more orifices in the future. This life’s cultivation stopped here, and without good pills or spiritual materials, the realm would slip straight down.
Sliding all the way from the late stage of the Orifice Training Realm to the early stage of the Orifice Training Realm was a possibility.
This was the result of Xing Xinzhao’s last desperate attempt, if the result hadn’t been so disastrous, Xing Xinzhao would have used this move a long time ago. If it wasn’t for that sudden mind attack from Chen Fei, it would have been fine for Xing Xin Zhao to hold on for a little while longer.
But things like battles were inherently ever-changing, and Xing Xin Zhao had at least saved a life.
“Cough!”
Zhou Zixun coughed lightly, he wasn’t injured, but on the contrary, his entire person looked much older again.
There was some sadness in Zhou Zixun’s eyes, what a good opportunity, but on the contrary, this body did not allow him to kill the Sword Returning House!
If he was ten years younger, even if the Sword Return Tower was protected by a formation, with the two of them, they might not have no hope of destroying the Sword Return Tower. But now, all this, can only think about it.
Although he had made the Sword Return Tower pay a small price, Zhou Zixun was not satisfied.
“Alas!”
Zhou Zixun sighed slightly and looked up just in time to see Chen Fei, his originally somewhat sad expression slowly disappearing. There was no hope for him, but with a Chen Fei in the Yuanchen Sword Sect, the Yuanchen Sword Sect would definitely be able to go farther.
“Let’s go, leave here first.” Qu Qingsheng whispered.
Not leaving Xing Xinzhao here completely, Qu Qingsheng also had some regrets. But this kind of thing couldn’t be forced, the strength couldn’t form a crushing force, so this was the only result.
Previously, the Yuan Chen Sword Sect only had two main battle inheritances, the Heavy Yuan Sword and the Giant Spirit Sword, but they couldn’t be melted down and only opened eighty orifices, which was too ordinary in the late stage of the Orifice Practicing Realm.
Some time ago, the Yuan Chen Sword Canon retrieved two layers, and was finally able to melt the techniques and raise the orifices to ninety, but the cultivation time was still too short, and it would take at least a few years for the results to show.
A few years to cultivate another gong method up, this is still because they are both Yuan Chen Sword Sect’s own gong methods, among which there is some interoperability, to be able to be so fast.
Otherwise, even with the understanding of martial arts techniques at the late stage of the Orifice Practicing Realm, a completely unfamiliar technique was placed in front of them, and without more than ten years, it would not be possible to talk about what help they could have for themselves.
The three of them flashed, rushing in the direction of Immortal Cloud City. With such a long distance, with the speed of the three of them, plus the time to rest in between, it would take at least a day or more.
Towards noon on the second day, the three had already traveled across a distance of over a thousand miles, and had long since left Xiyun City far behind. The three of them were currently sitting on a mountain, Qu Qingsheng and Zhou Zixun were lovingly holding the jade slip in their hands.
During the rush, Chen Fei had directly branded the Bladeslayer Sword, Water Yao Sword, Great Surprising Thunder Sword, and Yuan Chen Sword Dictionary, the four techniques, into the jade slip.
The Jade Slip was purchased by the Ruan Family in Qinhai City, Chen Fei had envisioned all kinds of possibilities, and had specially prepared a dozen of Jade Slips for emergencies, and now it had really come in handy.
Zhou Zixun rubbed the jade slip, eyes full of emotion. Zhou Zixun has always felt that in his lifetime, he is afraid that he will not be able to see these techniques back to the Yuan Chen Sword School.
After all, the Yuan Chen Sword Sect has been looking for these techniques for many years, and not without thinking about going to look for those branches that were separated out, if there is still a Yuan Chen Sword Sect technique, there are only these branches.
But so many years past, those branches as disappeared in general, do not know where to go. The Yuan Chen Sword Sect, after the catastrophe of that year, has at least been preserved.
Those branches are like being completely erased, disappeared without a trace, so that the Yuan Chen Sword Sect wants to look for, do not know how to find up.
As a result, although Zhou Zixun would sometimes think of these techniques, but more often than not, he could only treat them as a thought. Most of the time Zhou Zixun would laugh at himself, laughing at himself for thinking too much.
But Zhou Zixun did not expect that on this day, he had actually seen these techniques. In addition to the Yuan Chen Sword Body, the other six feats, including the most important one, the Yuan Chen Sword Classic, which was the general syllabus, had all returned today.
In time, the Yuan Chen Sword Sect’s late stage of the Orifice Practicing Realm would no longer be at the back of the pack amongst the neighboring sects. And with these additional techniques to choose from, there were more options for the Orifice Practicing Realm within the sect as well.
Gongfu cultivation was sometimes about fate, or compatibility. Whether or not the characteristics of the gongfu can match with you sometimes determines the speed of gongfu cultivation.
In the past, there were only two main battle techniques, so there was only one way to choose. And later on the choice surface a more up, the door practicing realm in the future cultivation speed, can certainly increase up.
In the long run, Yuan Chen Sword Sect can naturally become more prosperous.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zixun looked at Chen Fei, his eyes full of appreciation. Alone, sneaking into a sect like the Sword Returning House, how much courage and confidence was needed, and it really succeeded.
Something that no one else dared to think about was accomplished by Chen Fei alone.
Zhou Zixun lamented, how could Qu Qingsheng on the side not be the same, even as the head of Yuan Chen Sword Sect, Qu Qingsheng’s feelings were much more complicated than Zhou Zixun.
A sect master, what needs to be done is to lead the entire sect to pass on, on this basis, if it can be made more prosperous, it is undoubtedly a better thing. When Qu Qingsheng was first appointed as the head of the sect, his heart was full of hesitation, but after many years, he realized that there are many things that are not humanly possible to decide.
Or rather, with just the strength of a late stage of the Orifice Practicing Realm, and still an ordinary existence in the late stage of the Orifice Practicing Realm, many things simply could not be changed.
If one wanted to change, one needed a stronger power, and on the contrary, Qu Qingsheng was unable to obtain such a power.
While Zhou Zixun and Qu Qingsheng were feeling sentimental, Chen Fei was in the middle of cultivation with his eyes closed, a majestic heavy Yuan force field pressing down on his body, and the Giant Spirit Sword’s enlightenment constantly appearing in his sea of consciousness.
After such a long time of cultivation, the Giant Spirit Sword was about to reach the Great Perfection Realm, not only the Giant Spirit Sword, but the Transported Heavenly Walker was also just a little bit short of reaching the Great Perfection Realm.
Heavy Yuan Sword, Giant Spirit Sword, and Transported Sky Walk, if the three disciplines were to reach great perfection, and then cultivate the Yuan Chen Sword Canon to the third layer, Chen Fei would be able to fuse these three disciplines together.
At that time, within the sword formation, the sword bead would not only increase in force, but would also be upgraded a notch in speed.
Sometimes whether an attack was strong enough or not, besides looking at the force and sharpness, speed was a very crucial factor. Once the speed was increased, the destructive power generated would soar dramatically, reaching an extremely terrifying level.
A moment later, Chen Fei ended his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes, realizing that Qu Qingsheng and Zhou Zixun were both looking at him.
“Sect Leader, Elder Zhou, do you guys have something to say?” Chen Fei said suspiciously.
“Just now, I discussed with Elder Zhou and decided not to inform all the Elders about the return of these techniques first.” Qu Qingsheng said in a low voice.
Chen Fei’s expression moved slightly as he nodded and did not interject.
“The strength of our Yuan Chen Sword Sect in Immortal Cloud City is too low, and the Overwhelming Rainbow Sect is actually a bit stronger than our Yuan Chen. Now that the situation around Immortal Cloud City is unstable, once the news of these feats being recovered is spread, it will trigger the attention of others for no reason.”
Zhou Zixun sighed slightly and continued with Qu Qingsheng’s words. At a time like this, naturally, the lower the profile the better. The Merit Technique Retrieval should not be a problem in a short period of time.
But attracting the attention of others for no reason was clearly not a good thing. And if these feats of the Yuan Chen Sword Sect were melted together, they were a top-notch Orifice Practicing Realm feat, which would directly give pressure to the surrounding sects.
People’s hearts were unpredictable, when one’s own strength was insufficient, one should not allow others to be suspicious of you, that was never a good thing.
This was fundamentally different from the previous situation where the first two layers of the Yuan Chen Sword Codex were retrieved. The first two layers of the Yuan Chen Sword Codex, at most, was to raise the level of the Yuan Chen Sword Sect’s technique from eighty to ninety orifices.
The gong method that opened ninety orifices was naturally much better compared to eighty, but it was still within an acceptable range.
But now that these gong methods that had been retrieved were added on, if all of them were successfully cultivated, the number of orifices opened would be enough to reach over a hundred. A hundred plus orifices gong method was only available in the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.
“Some of the ones that need merit laws, we will inform them individually, and all the elders have not yet practiced thoroughly in the first two layers of Yuan Chen Sword Canon cultivation before, so other merit laws, even if given, will not be able to increase their strength.” Qu Qingsheng explained.
Merit cultivation had always taken time to pile up. The difference was that those with high natural talent would have a much shorter time to cultivate. Those with average talent would definitely have their cultivation time stretched out.
Those from the Yuan Chen Sword Sect who were able to cultivate to the Orifice Practicing Realm naturally had good natural talent, but cultivating the Orifice Practicing Realm Technique itself required quite a bit of time. Such as Qu Qingsheng and Zhou Zixun, who cultivated another technique at a high level, also needed several years.
The other Elders at the early and mid Orifice Practicing Realm would only take a little longer. Thus, not being informed for a short period of time did not affect the cultivation of these elders.
Unless there were elders who cultivated too slowly due to the characteristics of their techniques, Qu Qingsheng and the others would also use their discretion.
“Chen Fei understands.” Chen Fei nodded.
By not informing all the elders, it was possible to conceal the news of the merit law’s recovery to a great extent, while not affecting the sect’s strength. However, it was not necessarily possible to conceal it for long.
As for Qu Qingsheng and Zhou Zixun, they informed Chen Fei of this decision because these merit laws were recovered by Chen Fei, and they respected Chen Fei. For Chen Fei, Qu Qingsheng and Zhou Zixun, were appreciative and satisfied from the bottom of their hearts.
As for how long the news would be kept hidden, do your best and listen to heaven’s will.
With a smile on his face, Qu Qingsheng was just about to continue, when his brows suddenly furrowed, and a jade-like spiritual artifact flew out from Qu Qingsheng’s bosom.
This jade was crystal clear, but now it was trembling uncontrollably, the light in it fluctuating.
When Zhou Zixun saw the jade piece’s appearance, his brows were also slightly wrinkled.
“Something should have happened in the door, I will go back first, Elder Zhou, you and Chen Fei can just follow up.” Qu Qingsheng looked up at Zhou Zixun and Chen Fei.
This jade piece spirit artifact, connected to a spirit artifact within the Yuan Chen Sword Sect’s main peak, complex messages could not be transmitted, only early warning.
