Chapter 539:

Chapter 538 – A Thousand Years

The merit laws of the ten top forces of the Thousand Feathers Alliance were all capable of cultivating to the peak of the Harmonization Realm, and among them, there were also records of how one should break through to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Of course, the probability of breaking through was not high, after all, for so many years, among these forces, there was not really a single Mountain and Sea Realm powerhouse out.

The closest thing is that a strong man from the Heavenly Sword Sect had already crossed into the Mountain and Sea Realm, but in the end, he couldn’t control the power in his body, and his body directly dissipated.

As for the other forces who wanted to try to break through, they didn’t even make it this far, and directly died at the threshold.

But even so, the gong methods of the ten forces are still the most top-notch existence within the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

As long as there was enough talent and the resources were in place, the probability of cultivating to the peak of the Harmonization Realm was extremely high. These ten forces also relied on their respective township gong methods in order to keep the peak of the Harmonization Realm within their sects intact.

Unlike other general merit laws, although there were descriptions of the peak of the Harmonization Realm, the probability of actually being able to step into it was extremely slim.

Just like the Mixed Yuan Xuan Gong that Chen Fei had obtained in the Hai Yue Cave at the beginning, it was moderate, with no particular area of specialization or position of particular weakness.

For the peak of the Harmonization Realm, there were also some principles elaborated. But truly wanting to rely on the Mixed Yuan Xuan Gong to enter the peak of the Harmonization Realm was almost something that was difficult to do.

Even if Chen Fei had long ago cultivated the Mixed Yuan Xuan Gong to the Grand Completion Realm, allowing Chen Fei to rely only on this single technique to break through to the late stage of the Harmonization Realm, there was still hope.

But the peak of the Harmonization Realm was almost unattainable. This was because the base forged by the Mixed Yuan Xuan Gong was too thin, and it was simply not enough to allow a martial artist to step into the middle of this realm.

Every cultivation realm advancement was a test of one’s own martial arts heritage, and only those with a deep heritage would be able to cut through the thorns along the way.

Chen Fei’s Three Lives Broken Shadow Sword, which had been fused with a number of techniques, was already much stronger than the average technique. Even if Chen Fei fused other techniques, the enhancement of the Three Lives Shadow Breaking Sword would be extremely limited.

However, because of that broken spiritual treasure, relying on time, Chen Fei did have the opportunity to continuously solidify the foundation of the Three Lives Shadowbreaker Sword.

In a situation where the top inheritance was locked away, this was already considered a well-trodden path.

And now, in this trap set by the Thousand Eyes Guile, an inheritance like the Underworld Skill would even appear.

Even though it was crippled, but even more crippled, some of the supreme principles of martial arts contained within it would not be missing.

Merely incorporating this crippled Underworld Skill into Chen Fei’s technique would be enough to make the Three Lives Broken Shadow Sword even further advanced.

And more crucially, since there was the Underworld Skill here, it seemed not impossible for some top inheritance to appear elsewhere.

With Thousand Eyes Guile’s layout, the number of tainted martial artists within the Thousand Feathers Alliance today was definitely not a small number.

Even the Spectral Sect, which specialized in cutting down Guile, had been hit, and it was clearly not an easy thing for the sects of other top forces to completely avoid it.

Chen Fei slashed his right hand and took down the inheritance stone on the dome, his body flashed and disappeared within the cave.

Originally, exploring the Thousand Eyes Creepy Trap, Chen Fei only wanted to replenish his accumulation of martial arts.

It was naturally best to be able to use those techniques that he had obtained, and even if he couldn’t, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to see them and put them into the Yuan Chen Sword Sect’s library.

However, with the appearance of the Underworld Skill, Chen Fei’s mindset changed at once.

Where was this increasing one’s accumulation of martial arts, this was directly a great opportunity to pull up one’s gongfu level and solidify one’s martial arts base.

To say that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would not be an exaggeration.

After all, other than bumping into the techniques of these top forces here, Chen Fei could not think of how he could get these inheritances without bloodshed.

Not only were there many Harmonization Realms within their gates, there were even peak Harmonization Realms in attendance. If Chen Fei wanted to rival them, the only way to do so was to reach the same peak of the Harmonization Realm.

However, if they all reached the peak of the Harmonization Realm, perhaps by that time, Chen Fei would have already found other top techniques, so it would not make much sense to look for the techniques in these forces again.

Now that Chen Fei’s realm was only in the middle of the Harmonization Realm, and there was still room for improvement in his main cultivation techniques, how could the appearance of these legacies not make Chen Fei overjoyed.

Chen Fei’s speed of searching for the Thousand Eyes Tricky Trap accelerated significantly, and finally, on the third hour, Chen Fei obtained another power’s town school merit law.

The Sky’s End Sect, the Sky’s End Technique at Hand. It was still crippled, but Chen Fei was prepared for it.

In three hours, Chen Fei had found nearly twenty caves, amongst which the technique had already been obtained by Chen Fei within other caves before.

Even the Underworld Skill, Chen Fei had obtained it once more in the middle of it.

The Thousand Eyes Guile layout was extremely deep, but it was obvious that the number of top level techniques that could attract martial artists was also limited.

However, this was normal, after all, a martial artist would only enter one trap, and it simply didn’t matter what the techniques in the other traps were.

Even using only one Spectral Skill as bait was actually completely sufficient.

However, Chen Fei guessed that the Thousand Eyes Guile was presumably interested in letting the various techniques spread, especially the techniques of the top ten forces, and if they spread out, especially if they were obtained by the top ten forces from each other.

Then, if this issue was detonated at a critical moment, I’m afraid that it would cause a complete chaos within the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

After all, the cultivation techniques of the various forces have always been their most closely guarded secrets, with strict mental prohibitions placed upon them. If these techniques were to fall into the hands of ordinary people, simply destroying the techniques or even executing those who learned them could resolve the issue. However, what happens when they are taken by a power equal to our own? How can such a situation be resolved?

Simple killing can not solve the problem at all, after all, you do not know whether the merit method has been completely included by the other sect.

This would be a cut and dried situation that would greatly affect the stability of the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

However, nowadays, none of this would affect Chen Fei’s ability to continue searching for merit laws, before those top forces as well as the Thousand Eyes Guile reacted, taking advantage of this golden window, Chen Fei was going to find all the merit laws.

Time passed little by little, an hour later, Chen Fei found the Phoenix Dance Pavilion’s town school’s merit law, then but a quarter of an hour later, the Heavenly Saber Sect’s merit law also fell into Chen Fei’s hands.

Chen Fei didn’t stop, and after spending nearly seven more hours and crossing several seas, the top merit laws in Chen Fei’s hands had reached as many as nine.

The only thing that Chen Fei had never seen was the Falling Sky Pavilion’s Town School Technique.

Falling Sky Pavilion was one of the top ten forces, with the least number of personnel, and the disciples of Falling Sky Pavilion were extremely low-key on weekdays, seldom leaving the sea where their family was located.

Rumor has it that before the Thousand Feathers Alliance master came here, the Falling Sky Pavilion was the real leader here. At its peak, the Falling Sky Pavilion even had three peak Harmonization Realm powerhouses in attendance at the same time.

But even so, the Falling Sky Pavilion still did not have a single Mountain and Sea Realm.

In the last hundred years, there was only one peak Harmonization Realm within the Falling Heaven Pavilion, which caused the disciples of the Falling Heaven Pavilion to live more and more deeply.

Not finding the Falling Sky Pavilion’s technique, Chen Fei did not have any disappointment, after all, he had already obtained nine top inheritances, less a Falling Sky Pavilion’s technique, it would not affect anything.

Thousand Eyes Guile’s trap, there are nine top forces of the technique, it is obvious, these nine family members, there must be someone in the trick, and still the realm of the expert, or the town school technique will not fall into the hands of the Thousand Eyes Guile.

From this point of view, the penetration of the Thousand Eyes Gui, simply shocking.

However, these are not things that Chen Fei needs to consider now, Chen Fei’s most important thing now is to return to Yuan Chen Sword Sect and fuse the nine techniques in his hands into the Three Lives Broken Shadow Sword.

The next step was to close the door and cultivate until the new gongfu was completely perfected.

At that time, Chen Fei would reach a new height in terms of both his battle power and his martial arts background.

As for the fusion of the nine gong methods together, they had long since become completely different, so Chen Fei didn’t have to worry about being seen by the people of those nine forces.

Chen Fei stood in mid-air, no longer intending to continue searching for the trap laid by the Thousand Eyes Guile. There were too many repetitive techniques among them, and for Chen Fei, they were no longer very meaningful.

Chen Fei sensed the inheritance stone that he had purposely dug down within his Qiankun bag, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

These inheritance stones Chen Fei did not intend to bring back to the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, the contents of the gong methods, Chen Fei had already recorded them long ago, and they were all burned onto the panel.

If Chen Fei really wanted to keep the merit law within the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, he could simply burn some jade himself.

Chen Fei was now carrying these inheritance stones with the idea of sending them to a place.

Chen Fei looked around and recognized the direction, and in the next moment, Chen Fei’s figure disappeared in place.

Two hours later, Chen Fei saw a city from afar.

Chen Fei lowered his figure and rushed into the middle of the seawater, and even more so, he completely concealed his breath, and at the same time, he executed the secret method in the Withering Sutra, turning himself into an item as if he were a stone.

Chen Fei had traveled a long way, and his purpose was the city in front of him.

The Hague City, in the middle of this sea, belonged to an extremely ordinary city, and the strongest person in the city was at the peak of the Aperture Practicing Realm.

Such a city, amongst the entire Thousand Feathers Alliance, could be said to be in the thousands, unimpressive.

However, it was such a seemingly ordinary, isolated city, whose true face was the sect of the Mourning Shadow Sect.

The so-called headquarters of the Mourning Shadow Sect that Chen Fei had seen in Duanmu Lord’s memories at the beginning was actually just a contact point for the outside world.

Even though Duanmu Ling was an assassin at the Harmonization Realm, he was not considered to be the most direct line of existence in the heart of the Mourning Shadow Sect.

Only someone like Kou Yuanheng, who had grown up in the Mourning Shadow Sect from childhood to adulthood, was truly a direct lineage.

Chen Fei naturally saw all of this from Kou Yuanheng’s memory scroll.

The Mourning Shadow Sect had sent out Kou Yuanheng to investigate Duanmu Lord’s current situation, naturally because the Mourning Shadow Sect had begun to suspect Duanmu Lord.

Chen Fei’s imitation of everything Duanmu Lord had done according to what he had memorized was supposed to be flawless.

However, the Mourning Shadow Sect itself had a set way of identifying, and in the eyes of the Mourning Shadow Sect, there was something wrong with Duanmu Lord’s movements in the last few years.

That was why Kou Yuanheng appeared and followed the trail to find Chen Fei.
