Chapter 781:1 Want Your Temptation
After refusing once, they actually increased the amount?
In this other Mountain Sea Realm, rejecting insights into a technique once already required firm determination, as feeling stuck at a bottleneck without progress was too unbearable.
Knowing that the insights given by the Black Divine were flawed, but sometimes if the temptation was too great, many in the Mountain Sea Realms were likely to waver, even take risks.
Chen Fei remained expressionless, continuing to disperse the black mist with a wave of his hand, dissipating all insights related to talents around him.
Chen Fei stood still, watching the black mist churn. In less than a moment, that inexplicably mysterious feeling emerged once again.
Chen Fei narrowed his eyes, this time the amount of insight directly reached the position of six.
At this moment, let alone how other Mountain Sea Realm cultivators would react to this situation, Chen Fei himself, with his own system, felt a slight fluctuation in his emotions.
Had this Black Divine mastered the habits of humans?
Or rather, understood the nature of sentient beings.
Facing temptation without being moved, either the tempting object was not needed, or the item was needed but the chips were not enough yet.
As long as the chips were enough, there was nothing that couldn’t be bought. Chen Fei1 s gaze returned to calm, and another palm dispersed the black mist. And in the blink of an eye, the insights unexpectedly increased again, reaching the level of twelve.
Chen Fei frowned slightly. If he were to absorb this amount of insight, he estimated he could directly save over a month of labor. For other cultivators in the Mountain Sea Realms, this wasn’t just a month, but decades, or even longer.
Chen Fei raised his hand, just about to continue dispersing the black mist, when suddenly his palm paused.
In the depths of his consciousness, a voice told Chen Fei that if he continued to disperse the black mist, those insights would not appear again.
Chen Fei looked at the insights around him, feeling somewhat tempted, but the proficiency that could be cultivated in just over a month wouldn’t sway him too much.
Still, it was somewhat regrettable to let these insights disappear like this.
It was inevitable that these insights were poisonous, but what if the poison could be removed?
At this moment, within two spatial grids, attacks were stored, serving as Chen Fei’saceinthehole.
To use the spatial grid to detoxify, Chen Fei first needed to clear out the spatial grid and also require d the poison from the insights as a reference.
With a light tap of his right foot on the ground, the Heart Refinement Formation enveloped these insights within it.
Using the power of his soul to set up the Heart Refinement Formation, Strange Heart Stones were no longer necessary. With Chen Fei’s current realm, the Ninefold Heart Refinement Formation was almost completed in an instant.
The Heart Refinement Formation emitted a faint glow, but there was no trace of foreign objects within the insights.
The Heart Refinement Formation was not omnipotent; it was initially more focused on heart deception. It was powerless against the insights deliberately created by the Black Divine.
The array under Chen Fei’s feet dispersed, and as he looked at the surrounding insights, his gaze deepened in thought.
Chen Fei didn’t necessarily have to absorb these insights; just over a month’s time was nothing. But if he could absorb these insights without any loss, wouldn’t that be better?
Moreover, after absorbing these insights, would there be an opportunity to absorb insights like this every night within the Black Divine’s boundary? Currently, Chen Fei only possessed the “Endless Regeneration” ability and had not yet reached the state of Great Completion. However, as long as this mission succeeded, apart from the sect’s foundational techniques, he should be able to exchange for other techniques.
When the time comes to integrate into the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword, theproficiency will inevitably decrease, and that’s when the opportunity to absorb insights will arise!
Chen Fei possessed an interface, and the growth of his understanding of techniques was several times, or even tens of times, greater than that of other cultivators in the Mountain Sea Realms. However, it still took several years to cultivate a technique.
Several years might seem short, but in the current world, with opportunities available, one could naturally cultivate as fast as possible.
It was to avoid a situation where when a real disaster struck, Chen Fei wouldn’t even have the strength to resist.
After pondering for a moment, a sword shadow appeared behind Chen Fei, with mountains, rivers, and vegetation engraved on its golden blade, the Xuanyuan Sword.
As the Xuanyuan Sword appeared, a golden ripple spread out, causing the surrounding black mist to disperse instantly. Even within those insights, one could faintly see black filament-like substances moving, resembling parasites. But soon, these black substances disappeared, as if they were either expelled or concealed themselves.
Chen Fei glanced at the insights condensed from the vitality of heaven and earth around him, then looked into the distance.
The Sacred Land Sun Moon Realm once said that the current Black Divine was in a state of slumber, and all the changes within the boundary were subconscious responses of the Black Divine.
With such subconscious responses, so many changes have emerged within the boundary. If the Black Divine truly awakens, it’s likely that every cultivator in the Mountain Sea Realms would be directly annihilated by the Black Divine.
Chen Fei withdrew his gaze and formed a sword seal with his right hand. In the next moment, thirty-six illusory Xuanyuan Swords appeared behind Chen Fei. Each illusory Xuanyuan Sword was connected end to end, forming a circle that enveloped Chen Fei within it.
Confirming that the Xuanyuan Sword could deter the contamination within the insights was sufficient for Chen Fei. The next step was to truly force out this contamination.
Chen Fei waved his right hand, and the surrounding insights surged toward him.
However, Chen Fei did not directly absorb these insights. Instead, he let these insights enter the illusion of the first Xuanyuan Sword. Chen Fei intended to use the true spirit within the illusion of the Xuanyuan Sword to slay this contamination.
As the insights truly entered the Xuanyuan Sword, the entire illusion of the Xuanyuan Sword trembled violently, and the contamination within the insights silently dissipated.
The sword light from the Xuanyuan Sword just now had made the contamination visible. Now, with direct contact with the true spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword, the result was self-evident.
The insights condensed from the vitality of heaven and earth flowed through the illusions of the thirty-six Xuanyuan Swords one by one, and even after that, they still needed to pass through the Xuanyuan Sword condensed by Chen Fei’s spiritual consciousness.
The tremors were most pronounced in the illusion of the first Xuanyuan Sword, while towards the later ones, only slight vibrations remained.
A single illusion of the Xuanyuan Sword was not enough to slay all the contamination within the insights because the true spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword condensed within the illusion was too sparse.
However, thirty-six illusions of the Xuanyuan Sword were completely sufficient, as there were no disturbances at all when the insights passed through the latter part of the Xuanyuan Sword formation.
Chen Fei had already prepared himself earlier; if even thirty-six illusions of the Xuanyuan Sword were insufficient, he would directly condense the maximum of fifty.
If even fifty illusions couldn’t completely eradicate the contamination, then Chen Fei would have no choice but to give up.
It was just a shortcut, one that Chen Fei could choose to take or not.
Compared to other cultivators in the Mountain Sea Realms, Chen Fei had too many paths to choose from. There was simply no need to stubbornly persist here.
As the insights flowed through the Xuanyuan Swords and entered Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, he didn’t immediately absorb them. Instead, a Dragon Elephant manifested, opening its mouth to swallow these insights.
The Dragon Elephant had the power to suppress and subdue spirits. Even though the Xuanyuan Swords hadn’t sensed any issues just now, Chen Fei still wanted to use the Dragon Elephant as the final safeguard.
As the Dragon Elephant swallowed the insights without any disturbance, a hint of smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face. He confidently absorbed the insights of Endless Regeneration.
With his eyes slightly closed, the Xuanyuan Sword surrounded him. The insights regarding Endless Regeneration had all been filtered out. The first illusion of the Xuanyuan Sword trembled slightly and dissipated silently.
Then all thirty-six illusions of the Xuanyuan Sword disappeared, and Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes.
On his interface, the insights of Endless Regeneration had risen a notch, advancing him another step closer to the state of Great Completion.
Glancing around, Chen Fei teleported to where Tang Shouchang was. He noticed that Tang Shouchang had only recently broken free from the illusion, but there were no insights into techniques around him.
Chen Fei furrowed his brows slightly. Were these insights into techniques not given to every cultivator in the Mountain Sea Realms?
Suddenly, Chen Fei remembered the mental illusion that appeared before the insights emerged.
Because of the protection of the Xuanyuan Sword, as soon as that illusion appeared, Chen Fei sensed that something was amiss and immediately broke free.
So, was that illusion a test? By swiftly passing the test, were the insights granted as a reward?
“Brother Tang, are you alright?” Chen Fei whispered.
“I’m fine!”
Tang Shouchang forced a weary smile. Breaking free from that illusion had consumed a considerable amount of his mental energy.
“Go check on Captain Zhao and the others.”
Chen Fei instructed, then disappeared on the spot, with Tang Shouchang following closely behind.
In just a moment, they spotted Zhao Tianyue.
Compared to Tang Shouchang’s fatigue, Zhao Tianyue seemed much better. Chen Fei glanced at the jade hairpin in Zhao Tianyue’s hair—it was a spiritual treasure.
However, there was no fluctuation of techniques around Zhao Tianyue. Such fluctuations, even if dispersed or absorbed, would linger for a moment.
Upon seeing Chen Fei and the others arrive, Zhao Tianyue understood their intentions without much ado and hurried in the direction of Zhao Ruizheng. Within a few steps, the three of them saw Zhao Ruizheng’s figure. At the moment, there was a special aura of vitality surrounding Zhao Ruizheng, and his expression seemed somewhat hesitant.
Chen Fei’s gaze flickered. Had Zhao Ruizheng passed the test?
“Brother, what’s going on?”
Approaching closer, Zhao Tianyue suddenly noticed the peculiar aura of vitality around Zhao Ruizheng, carrying a mysterious and enigmatic atmosphere. Yet, Zhao Tianyue couldn’t discern what it represented.
“Sigh…”
Zhao Ruizheng sighed and dispersed the insights into techniques around him with a wave of his hand.
It was almost self-evident that these insights must have traps, but Zhao Ruizheng couldn’t bear to give them up just now.
However, after trying various methods, Zhao Ruizheng couldn’t extract the traps within these insights. In such a situation, how could he dare to absorb them?
A moment later, Chen Fei and his group appeared in the outer hall of the task hall, reporting the scene that had just occurred within the Black Divine’s Barrier.
As they were speaking, another team hurried over, also to report the same incident.
Chen Fei’s group wasn’t the first to report this incident, but they still received a reward in the end. The task hall welcomed reports from all teams because this was the first occurrence within the Black Divine’s Barrier.
Any report that could provide additional details held value.
In the task hall, Chen Fei looked at the jade ruler in his hand.
It was considered a spiritual treasure, albeit the lowest-tier one, possessing only durability without any other characteristics.
At this moment, a mark coalesced on the jade ruler, representing the slaying of a Fourth-Tier early-stage monster and the contribution points gained.
