Chapter 378: Thousand Miles of Locked Souls

Chapter 378 – Thousand Miles of Locked Souls
It was so dilapidated that it was unknown how many years it had been abandoned.

Chen Fei stood close by and looked at the buildings in front of him, as if a gust of wind was about to blow all these houses down.

Chen Fei stood still and cautiously observed for a few moments, making sure that there was no danger before slowly walking in. At the first glance, Chen Fei discovered the words inscribed on the walls.

It was still a gongfu, but it was also still badly broken. It was so severe that a line of words could be broken in four or five places.

Chen Fei didn’t care, and browsed through the gongfa on each wall word by word, and when he was done, he walked to the next building and continued to browse through the words recorded on the walls.

In these buildings, apart from the words on the walls, there was nothing else left, the room could be said to be empty. And there were quite a few buildings that had completely collapsed, leaving only a floor of masonry tiles.

After the complete collapse, the words on the masonry also disappeared, and with a light touch, the masonry turned into flying ash. This time, the masonry did not recover again.

With a dozen or so buildings, Chen Fei walked through all of them. Standing at a high place, he overlooked this complex. Back then, this place should have been extremely prosperous, but now only these ruins remained.

[Technique: Heart Technique (Miscellaneous)]

Looking at the information on the panel, a small smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face. This was the reason why Chen Fei had to look over each wall, carefully.

Chen Fei himself was unable to cultivate these broken gongfu, but the panel could be summarized and sorted out, just like back then in Pingyin County, a nearly blindly made up book of Shocking Thunder Sword Strength was sorted out into the Shocking Character Technique.

And the feats on these walls were clearly in the same vein, there was no reason why they couldn’t be sorted out a little bit.

“Feats found, does it cost thirty Yuan Stones to simplify the Heart Recipe (Miscellaneous)?”

“Heart Technique (Miscellaneous) simplification in progress…simplification successful…Heart Technique (Miscellaneous) → Stargazing Technique!”

The simplification cost was more than expected, good thing Chen Fei had enough Yuan Stones on his panel today for this kind of consumption. Chen Fei checked the Stargazing Technique with some curiosity, after all, it had cost a whole thirty Yuan Stones.

A moment later, Chen Fei’s attention moved away from the panel.

The Stargazing Technique, was not about looking at the stars from afar, but rather observing other people’s breath from a distance, somewhat similar to the Qi Surveying Technique, though it was more subtle than the Qi Surveying Technique.

In the concept of the Stargazing Art, everyone was a star, and if one memorized a person’s breath, one could even observe it from a super long distance.

Of course, exactly how much distance it could be was somewhat closely related to the degree of comprehension of the technique, as well as the strength of one’s own mind.

“This finding, chasing, and monitoring can almost all be done ah.”

Chen Fei had some surprise in his eyes, Thousand Mile Soul Lock, Thousand Mile Chase, more often than not, it relied on placing a Mind Marker on the other party, so that the other party would not be able to clear it in a short period of time, and then chasing after them.

And this Stargazing Technique, directly sees where you are, and then chases after you.

“According to the narrative at the end of this Stargazing Technique, it seems like it can also cut through the air. But the technique, after all, is crippled!”

Chen Fei couldn’t help but feel some regret in his eyes as he looked at the dilapidated building in front of him. The inheritance of this lineage simply specialized in mind attacks.

The Stargazing Technique combined with the ability to cut through the air, this ability, it was simply great. As long as the mind power was strong enough, how could an ordinary person carry it off, not even knowing where the attack came from, only being able to passively withstand the attack.

Unfortunately, what the panel was able to do was to comb through the feats based on the information that was already available, and could not directly deduce it. Thus, the end of the Stargazing Technique, the said killing through the air, the version that Chen Fei was currently learning, it couldn’t do it.

But even so, the current Stargazing Technique was already a very powerful existence.

If it wasn’t for the panel, wanting to rely on these tattered words to organize a technique this powerful would be a fool’s errand.

“Feats found, do we spend forty Yuan Stones to simplify the Stargazing Technique?”

“Stargazing Technique simplification in progress…simplification successful…Stargazing Technique → Stargazing!”

Stargazing? Stargazing?
Chen Fei looked up at the sky, it was gray above, there was no starry sky within the Heart Guile Realm, it seemed that this technique would have to wait until he returned to reality before he could cultivate it.

Chen Fei walked around a bit more and found nothing else, Chen Fei thought for a moment and turned around to leave the area.

This mysterious inheritance, it was unknown what had broken it down to such a state. If it was an enemy within the Heart Guile Realm, then Chen Fei might be in other dangers if he continued to stay here.

Because there were no other written records, Chen Fei did not even know what this inheritance was called back then. On those walls, all that was recorded were gongfa, without a single record of its own origin.

After withdrawing for a long enough distance that he could no longer see the complex, Chen Fei slowly stopped.

Chen Fei glanced around, sensing the scent, and slowly walked towards the location in front of him on the left. In Chen Fei’s perception, in that direction, there was an aura of madness and chaos.

This was a state unique to the weirdness within the Heart Guile Realm.

As the distance drew closer, that epileptic feeling became more and more obvious, and eventually Chen Fei saw a silhouette standing there vaguely in a black mist.

Seemingly sensing Chen Fei’s breath, the silhouette that was originally facing Chen Fei with its back turned, suddenly folded its head to the back and looked straight at Chen Fei. Chen Fei’s expression didn’t move, this bizarre wasn’t strong, according to the division, it was estimated that it was only of the first rank, which was the stage of a Body Refining Realm martial artist.

Previously, when he entered the Heart Creepy Realm, most of the ones Chen Fei had killed were also Heart Creepy of this level, only that the Heart Creepy Origin that had been drawn by the Spirit Slaughtering Technique was full of chaos and could not be absorbed.

Chen Fei glanced around the black mist, there was no other weirdness, Chen Fei stepped in.

Sensing Chen Fei’s arrival, this weird disappeared into the black mist at once, as if what he had just seen was just an illusion of Chen Fei.

Chen Fei stopped his steps and looked around, suddenly looking upwards, a pair of scarlet eyes locked eyes with Chen Fei as countless murmurs began to echo in Chen Fei’s ears.

Illusions began to appear in front of Chen Fei’s eyes, and black spots even began to appear on his mind, which was contamination.

Decimation of the gods!

A sword light chopped out from Chen Fei’s body, straight into the bizarre body. The murmurs that were rampant all around suddenly stopped, and a crack started from the bizarre’s head and went all the way down, splitting it in two.

Dealing with this kind of first-order Heart Creep was already extremely easy in terms of Chen Fei’s strength today. Even though this was the Heart Creepy Realm, where contamination was everywhere, these Creepy could even amplify this contamination continuously.

However, the gap in the tier rank made this Heart Creeper not have the slightest resistance to the Divine Beheading Sword.

Wisps of black light gathered in front of Chen Fei, Chen Fei made a seal with both hands and slapped his palm on the ground, a layer of shimmering light rippled out, and a formation had already appeared on the ground.

The black light transformed by the Heart Creep was dragged by the formation diagram and came to the center.

After the Heart Refining Formation had been cultivated to great perfection by Chen Fei, the Heart Trickster Stone, which was the basic formation material, although still needed, had changed from a consumable to a device similar to a start-up.

Once the Heart Refining Formation was in operation, it would automatically absorb the surrounding earth qi to complete the final formation, and would no longer consume the Heart Trickster Stone.

As for this Heart Trickery Stone, it was when Chen Fei was in the sect a few days ago that he sent a letter to Si Yuanhai of the Royal Trickery lineage, asking if there were any Heart Trickery Stones left behind, and wanting to purchase one.

Si Yuanhai had managed to find a few more in the past few years and wanted to give them to Chen Fei. However, Chen Fei only left a piece behind and wanted to pay for it, Si Yuanhai excused himself and Chen Fei finally had to accept it with a bitter smile.

The Heart Refining Formation was completed, but Chen Fei’s hands’ sealing did not end, a few moments later, two more formations appeared under Chen Fei’s feet.

With each iteration of the Heart Refining Formation, the difficulty increased exponentially, three layers of Heart Refining Formation was Chen Fei’s current limit.

However, this was Chen Fei’s current limit, not the limit of the Heart Refining Formation. As long as Chen Fei’s mind power continued to improve, the Heart Refining Formation could still be iterated.

This iterative formation had almost no end, and all that depended on was the user’s own abilities and what level they were able to reach.

The three iterations of the Heart Refining Formation seemed to have turned into a giant mill, as silky black gas escaped from the Heart Guile Origin.

In just the blink of an eye, the black gas dissipated, leaving behind the pure Origin within the Heart Refining Formation. Chen Fei perceived the Heart Guile Origin, and the feeling of extreme madness and chaos from the past had long disappeared.

Chen Fei placed his palm on the Heart Refining Formation, and a trace of the Heart Guile Origin separated out and merged into Chen Fei’s palm.

As if a river had entered the sea, Chen Fei did not feel any abnormalities, whether it was the Thousand Silk Skill or the Zhen Dragon Elephant Zhen Shen, neither of them had the slightest bit of rejection towards this silk origin, and it naturally melted into Chen Fei’s heart and mind.

Just this trace of origin, the gain for Chen Fei was minimal, but Chen Fei himself could feel the nourishment of this trace of origin to his mind.

Chen Fei couldn’t help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the remaining Heart Guile Origin within the Heart Refining Formation, emitting a faint fluorescent light. In the next moment, this mass of Origin surged into Chen Fei’s palm.

Chen Fei’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly, a feeling of floating naturally appeared in his heart, the already stable heart spirit slightly trembled, and Chen Fei’s entire being seemed to be glowing.

A moment later, the abnormality in Chen Fei’s body disappeared, and Chen Fei’s eyes opened, feeling the strength of his mind.

If before, Chen Fei’s mind was in control of sixty orifices, close to the sixty-one degree, then after absorbing this mass of Heart Guile Origin, it was directly plucked up to the sixty-one position.

It directly raised the strength of the Heart Spirit by a small half a grain.

This was only a small first-order Guile, and such Guile could be said to be numerous in the entire Heart Guile Realm. Every time Chen Fei entered the Heart Creepy Realm, he would encounter many such Creeps.

It was just that Chen Fei didn’t even kill them, and was more likely to search for Heart Creepy Stones.

Because killing the Heart Creeps would not allow the extracted Heart Creep Origin to be melted into a Spiritual Weapon, nor would it be able to produce any benefit to himself, thus Chen Fei’s attitude had always been one of ignorance.

Those that he could avoid, he would avoid all of them, and those that he couldn’t avoid, he would just behead them and leave, and he wouldn’t purposely try to extract the Heart Creep Origin.

But now, these Heart Guile, in Chen Fei’s eyes, instantly became different.

It was simply a walking elixir.
