Chapter 1623: Chapter 1628: First Exploration of the Upper Realm

Lin Fei and Leng Daoqiu could be considered the pinnacle figures of this world, so this was not a difficult task for them.

Unless they encountered incomplete cultivation techniques or martial arts that couldn’t be deciphered immediately, they set those aside for later research; unbeknownst to them, three months had passed.

In three months, Lin Fei and Leng Daoqiu had familiarized themselves with the operation routes of those cultivation techniques and martial arts, as well as their power and potential. They eliminated half of the items from a third, leaving half useful, but half of them were incomplete cultivation techniques that couldn’t be deciphered.

Lin Fei and his team hadn’t anticipated this, and afterward, Lin Fei and Leng Daoqiu began contemplating the creation of cultivation techniques and martial arts.

At this moment, people from the Upper Realm also received the news. The sky was dim, and it was unclear what atmosphere pervaded the area, giving it a desolate, ancient sense.

On the earth, black soil sprouted tall and resilient grass, hard as swords. In the distance, large trees flourished with dense foliage, their trunks like steel, imparting an impression of indestructibility.

In the dusky sky, gray clouds drifted. Below, on an endless grassland, a group of people stood around a massive circular light pillar shooting towards the sky, unleashing spatial forces.

At this moment, a figure appeared within the spatial array; it was the person from the Upper Realm who fled from the Lower Realm.

After this Upper Realm person appeared, they were immediately surrounded by many who began to inquire with clamor. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

At this point, a gray-robed elder with white hair and disheveled appearance stepped forward and said, "Nobody speak, let him talk alone. Did you obtain the Divine Artifact when you went to the Lower Realm?"

The Upper Realm cultivator answered, "Report to Elder Bai, we obtained nothing, and many were killed or injured!"

"What? That’s impossible, how could this happen?"

The surrounding crowd started to discuss; how could those bugs from the Lower Realm possibly harm people from the Upper Realm?

"What’s going on? Explain in detail." The disheveled elder asked.

The person from the Upper Realm immediately began to explain.

As the events in the Lower Realm were revealed, the Upper Realm cultivators realized the situation was much more severe than anticipated.

"Due to the rules in the Lower Realm, those from the Upper Realm are affected to some extent when going there. However, this isn’t the issue; how could Lin Fei from the Lower Realm possess power beyond the rules? Could it be due to the Divine Artifact?" The elder continued to speculate.

In the end, they didn’t reach any conclusions, as they didn’t understand Lin Fei or know what was happening with him to defeat people from the Upper Realm; it was incredible.

"Since that’s the case, we can only ask others to create something for us!" The elder said through gritted teeth; all of this was for the Divine Artifact.

"Elder Bai, do we really have to do this? If the people from Qianhuang Peak find out, we might be in trouble!" One elder spoke.

"What else can we do? We’re already at a dead end; we must make a choice. If word spreads to those major powers, we’ll gain nothing and suffer losses too. What do you choose?"

The crowd fell silent.

"We’re already at a dead end, so we must take a chance!" The elder said.

After some struggle, those around nodded; one elder even said, "Let’s send more people this time; just a small group can’t solve the problem!"

"But maintaining the spatial array is a huge expense; have your Elemental Stones prepared. Since we’re asking a Casting Master to forge something for us, we must exchange more things for it."

Upon hearing this, the others felt the weight of the matter, as spending money was indeed swift, and Elemental Stones, the common currency here, were not easily attained.

"Since it’s decided, everyone should take out their Elemental Stones."

A conspiracy continued to ferment.

Meanwhile, in the Lower Realm, a year had passed, and during this time, Lin Fei and his team finally emerged from closed-door training!

What Lin Fei and his team did was gather cultivation techniques rather than create them.

It wasn’t the essence of creation but rather the collection of various cultivation technique strengths, compiled into a powerful technique. Of course, this experiment had to work on oneself first.

The difficulty lay in the conception, as Lin Fei and his team couldn’t always experiment on themselves with every idea. Thus, they could only imagine, pondering deeply whether a meridian idea would work, checking which meridian didn’t work, and finally reaching a rough outline for repeated experimentation. Ultimately, Lin Fei came up with a technique that satisfied him.

As for martial arts, it was even simpler; martial arts were inherently simpler than cultivation techniques. They fundamentally rely on cultivation techniques, much like modern society’s compatible mobile software. Compatibility and adaptability determine the quality of martial arts and cultivation techniques; if successful, they could change the Lower Realm’s status.

Lin Fei didn’t have grand ideals, but he didn’t want to remain at the world’s bottom either, so he strived to change the status quo.

The world he lived in shouldn’t be one of conquest; people from the Upper Realm shouldn’t have originated from the Lower Realm. Lin Fei hadn’t encountered Upper Realm people from the Lower Realm before, likely because he was just an ordinary human unaware of the secrets.

But Lin Fei understood, the Ancient Martial World should have been peaceful, and when he worshipped the Five Mountains, he felt the world’s tranquility and the Ancient Martial World’s serenity.

Lin Fei didn’t understand what was happening; isn’t someone keeping the Upper Realm people in check? Where is that person?

Though perplexed, Lin Fei didn’t actively search for answers, as the Lower Realm was his living world, where his family and friends resided, and he wouldn’t let Upper Realm people interfere.

However, now it seemed the Upper Realm people might be coming down because of her, prompting Lin Fei to take the opportunity to strengthen the Ancient Martial World, enabling them to resist the Upper Realm!

To resist the Upper Realm, the primary focus remains progress in cultivation techniques and martial arts. The quality of a technique is akin to using the right tool when carving jade; without a sharp knife, one can’t craft something good.

Thus, the importance of cultivation techniques is unquestionable.

"Time to head out, wonder how Senior Brother is doing." Lin Fei thought to himself.
