Chapter 819: Ascending in Daytime

If Chen Fei could obtain the insights of the Black Divine’s rewards by slaying Duan Suizhi, perhaps Chen Fei wouldn’t have put so much effort into refining the Bird Cloud Blade.

Unfortunately, there was no reward.

Within the space fissure, Chen Fei looked around cautiously and moved towards the empty void.

The space fissure was still a considerable distance away from the true void, so moving here normally didn’t risk being torn apart by the void’s power.

Chen Fei now intended to extend the Bird Cloud Blade into the void itself, using the power of the void to directly cleanse the residual aura from the spiritual treasure.

High-grade spiritual treasures were extremely sturdy; compared to the physical bodies in the Mountain Sea Realm, they were much tougher.

Chen Fei’s physique was already extremely powerful in the Mountain Sea Realm, but it couldn’t compare to a spiritual treasure.

Therefore, while the physical body in the Mountain Sea Realm couldn’t withstand the erosion of void energy, a high-grade spiritual treasure could definitely withstand it for a short period.

After advancing a distance, Chen Fei arrived before a thin film. Beyond it lay the true void.

Beyond the film was true emptiness, endless darkness, with occasional flashes of faint light.

Unlike the vast clusters of light in the Innate Talent Void, the void in reality was a forbidden zone for life. Even those in the Sun Moon Realm could only briefly stay in the void; staying too long would lead to disaster.

Beyond the void lay a world stronger than the Boundless Sea, shattered by daylight ascensions, located at some position within the void.

The Sun Moon Realm knew this, but they lacked the strength to traverse this infinite darkness.

Without precise coordinates, attempting to enter the void was a path to certain death.

Chen Fei held the Bird Cloud Blade, pressing its edge against the thin film.

This film seemed delicate as a cicada’s wing but was extraordinarily tough. Even peak existences in the Mountain Sea Realm might struggle to break it forcibly, and with Chen Fei’s current strength, it was equally challenging.

However, compared to ordinary peak existences in the Mountain Sea Realm, Chen Fei possessed the talents of Teleportation and Endless Regeneration. These two void-related talents allowed him to attempt alternative methods to break through into the void.

Within Chen Fei, the talents of Teleportation and Endless Regeneration emitted a faint glow, causing the film in front of the Bird Cloud Blade to tremble slightly.

Chen Fei focused all his spirit, eyes fixed ahead. In the next moment, the film wrinkled slightly, the resisting force vanished, and the Bird Cloud Blade smoothly penetrated into the void.

“Buzz!”

Chen Fei’s arm suddenly straightened, nearly causing his whole body to topple over.

Though the void appeared calm, as the Bird Cloud Blade ventured into it, a tremendous force abruptly pressed down upon the blade.

Chen Fei gripped the Bird Cloud Blade tightly, every muscle in his body tensed. The blade shimmered with spiritual light, its edge gradually distorting as it penetrated into the void.

No sound came forth, but merely observing it made clear the immense force bearing down upon the blade at this moment.

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant automatically operated within Chen Fei’s body, preventing the Bird Cloud Blade from being crushed deep into the void.

Chen Fei sensed the rapid purging of residual aura related to Duan Suizhi within the Bird Cloud Blade.

He had to time this carefully; he couldn’t afford the Bird Cloud Blade to be truly damaged. If it were, it might fall into the category of a medium-grade spiritual treasure, resulting in significant losses for Chen Fei.

“Hmm?”

As Chen Fei gripped the Bird Cloud Blade, his expression suddenly shifted slightly. He looked strangely toward another position in the void.

At some unknown moment, a peculiar call emanated from the other end of the void.

“I’ve entered the space fissure multiple times before without any such call. Why is it happening this time?”

Chen Fei felt puzzled. He glanced down at the Bird Cloud Blade in his hand. Was the call emanating because he had caused the void membrane to crack open?

As Chen Fei continued to sense the condition of the Bird Cloud Blade and discern the strange call, after a moment, his brow furrowed slightly, and he began to exert all his strength to activate the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.

As Chen Fei fully activated the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, the call from the void became even more pronounced.

“It really is calling out to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. And the origin is not within the void itself; it seems to be transmitted through the void from somewhere else on the Middle Continent.”

Several thoughts raced through Chen Fei’s mind, and subconsciously, he thought of Corpse Cliff Mountain.

There was no other reason. Throughout the entire Middle Continent, the closest connection to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique was the Suppressing Dragon Elephant stele on Corpse Cliff Mountain, wasn’t it?

Initially restricted by the Saint Yan Sect, Corpse Cliff Mountain had now been evacuated to the Sacred City with the arrival of the Black Divine. There were hardly any humans left active in Corpse Cliff Mountain.

As he sensed the eradication of Duan Suizhi’s information remaining in the Bird Cloud Blade, Chen Fei withdrew the Bird Cloud Blade. The void membrane returned to its original state, and the call promptly disappeared.

Returning to the secret chamber of Tingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fei began to alter the appearance of the Bird Cloud Blade.

After being cleansed by the power of the void, the spiritual essence of the Bird Cloud Blade suffered some loss, but fortunately, it still remained at the level of a high-grade spiritual treasure.

Selling it would definitely fetch a reduced price, but it would start at a minimum of a hundred thousand high-grade elemental stones, which would be more than enough for Chen Fei to buy numerous Myriad Bamboo.

Recently, it wasn’t a good time to sell the Bird Cloud Blade, so Chen Fei planned to wait another ten days or so before taking it to the Green Cloud Market.

However, the spiritual herbs and pills inside the Qianyuan Sword could be sold now. Chen Fei also planned to exchange the tens of thousands of high-grade elemental stones he had just acquired for Myriad Bamboo.

Everyone carried elemental stones and medicinal pills like these, so no one would suspect Chen Fei just because he sold them.

An hour later, the Bird Cloud Blade had undergone a significant transformation in appearance. Chen Fei put it away, then his body flickered, and he flew out of Thousand Geese City.

In midair, Chen Fei saw Tang Zhiliang’s escape light returning to Jade Spring Valley from a distance.

Tang Zhiliang also saw Chen Fei, but only glanced at him before retracting his gaze.

Tang Zhiliang didn’t associate Chen Fei with the death of Duan Suizhi.

Just now, Tang Zhiliang had reported the soul card of Duan Suizhi was broken, and Ji Zhanfeng and the others immediately thought of the battle outside the Hidden Sword Palace. Considering the time when the soul card of Duan Suizhi was broken, the two were almost the same

The news of the direct death in battle weighed heavily on Ji Zhanfeng and his companions, because Duan Suizhi was a late-stage Mountain Sea Realm expert.

Despite having recently broken through, being in the late-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm meant possessing a solid foundation of combat strength.

According to the reports from several sects within the Hidden Sword Palace, the battle had been extremely brief, possibly lasting only a few exchanges.

Under these circumstances, for a late-stage Mountain Sea Realm expert to be slain, the perpetrator must be of an extraordinary realm.

Such a person aligning with the Black Divine posed a significant threat to the safety of the entire Sacred City.

Ji Zhanfeng and the others suspected that the killer might be the same person who had attacked Jade Spring Valley not long ago.

Tang Zhiliang’s expression showed sorrow and indignation, yet inwardly, he felt confused.

The incident at Jade Spring Valley had been orchestrated by them, with no involvement from outsiders. Yet now, Duan Suizhi had been forcibly slain.

Most importantly, Tang Zhiliang had no idea when Jade Spring Valley had offended someone so powerful.

Not finding answers from Ji Zhanfeng only deepened Tang Zhiliang’s doubts.

He needed to quickly determine who killed Duan Suizhi. Otherwise, being threatened by such power would leave Tang Zhiliang restless day and night.

The good news was that Ji Zhanfeng and his group had recently been hiding near Jade Spring Valley, watching for the killer’s reappearance.

The bad news was that Jade Spring Valley had allied with the Black Divine. Under the scrutiny of the Sacred City’s officials, Ji Zhanfeng couldn’t help but feel uneasy, fearing any unusual behavior might be exposed.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei appeared in the Green Cloud Market Market.

First, Chen Fei sold off unused spiritual materials and pills to several shops, totaling over seventeen thousand high-grade elemental stones.

These materials and pills were only unnecessary for Chen Fei, not lacking in value; some were quite rare, fetching good prices.

Next, Chen Fei chose a new shop and purchased eleven stalks of Myriad Bamboo.

Once again, his pockets were emptied of high-grade elemental stones, leaving him with just under two thousand. It was better than last time, but still not enough to accomplish much.

Eleven stalks of Myriad Bamboo were far from enough to fully stack his innate divine blessings to the Great Completion realm.

Even if Chen Fei were to sell the Bird Cloud Blade next time, there would still be a shortfall of Myriad Bamboo. He needed to find another way to raise funds.

“I really want to push Jade Spring Valley!”

A thought flashed through Chen Fei’s mind, followed by him transforming into a purple light soaring into the sky.

“Or perhaps I should roam the entire Sacred City and see who’s aligned with the Black Divine?”

The thought crossed Chen Fei’s mind in midair, but he quickly dismissed it.

The Sacred City was vast, and if Chen Fei wandered around like that, he could easily be mistaken for a Black Divine loyalist by Sun Moon Realm experts.

Moving Through Nothing was very secretive, undetectable by those below the Sun Moon Realm, but Sun Moon Realm experts could detect it.

Sun Moon Realm experts could tear through space barriers and see people in spatial rifts, which wasn’t difficult.

The three Black Divine loyalists who were arrested were discovered while they were employing Return to Nothing.

Currently, the Sun Moon Realm in the Sacred City is monitoring Black Divine loyalists, and this phenomenon will affect the security of the Sacred City.

“You’re just a mid-level Mountain Sea Realm cultivator. If you don’t stay within your own faction’s territory and keep wandering around like this, it’s bound to raise suspicions.”

Chen Fei thought to himself as he returned to Thousand Geese City, his mind racing with concerns. If he were ever caught, how would he explain it? After all, he did bear the mark of the Black Divine.

He had no idea whether Sun Moon Realm experts could detect the Black Divine mark from close proximity.

Back in Thousand Geese City, Chen Fei began crafting his Myriad Clones.

Thanks to his mastery of the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, the process was significantly faster.

Moreover, due to the Divine Blessing’s innate properties, any damage to his soul fragments would swiftly heal.

Chen Fei efficiently created eleven clones in just one hour.

Examining them on the ground, he picked one up and commanded the others to contemplate the Divine Blessing, then stored them within the Qianyuan Sword.

Focusing on one clone in his hand, Chen Fei commanded it to contemplate the Water Source Shadow Technique, and soon a destructive aura emanated from it.

Moments later, the clone dispersed, leaving behind a surge of enlightenment in Chen Fei’s mind.

Another hour passed, and a ripple emanated from Chen Fei, signaling mastery of the Water Source Shadow Technique to its Great Completion.

Inside the secret chamber, Chen Fei observed his clone. In the next moment, with a flicker, he and the clone swiftly exchanged positions.

A smile crept onto Chen Fei’s face as he finally prepared this escape route.

In the future, if he encountered danger elsewhere in Middle Continent, Chen Fei could instantly employ the Water Source Shadow Technique. Using his innate talent of Teleportation as a medium, he could swap places with his clone and return to Thousand Geese City.

Leaving the clone in the Tingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fei soared into the sky, heading towards Corpse Cliff Mountain.

If indeed it was the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Stele calling out, Chen Fei wanted to understand the reason behind it. He had already fully mastered the content on the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Stele, so why was it calling out to him now?
