Chapter 286: The Primordial Sword Scripture

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei looked at the formation in front of him and extended his Qianyuan Sword to tap lightly on the membrane of light, causing faint ripples to spread across it.

Attempting a direct breach would undoubtedly trigger changes in the formation. This would lead to increased commotion, likely attracting other practitioners at the Aperture Tempering realm. Such a scenario would result in numerous uncertainties, and it remained questionable whether he could secure the treasure amidst the ensuing chaos. Chen Fei’s current combat strength could handle two or three Aperture Tempering realm initial-stage opponents, but facing more would become increasingly challenging.

With a furrowed brow, Chen Fei pointed his finger forward, and a black sword thread appeared before the light membrane. The membrane started to ripple in concentric circles, evolving into waves. The brightness of the light membrane began to fluctuate, and the elemental energy within it quivered.

“No good!” Chen Fei’s brow furrowed even deeper as he withdrew the sword thread. In normal circumstances, this level of fluctuation in the formation would have immediately alerted the members of the Long Rainbow Sect to come and investigate. However, given the current state of the Long Rainbow Sect, no one would venture here. As for members of other sects, without control over the Long Rainbow Sect’s central command, they wouldn’t be able to sense it either.

Yet, if Chen Fei continued to intensify his attacks, it would become difficult for others not to notice.

“I know too little about formations,” Chen Fei mused, his hand gently stroking his chin. He recalled all that he had learned and extended his palm, placing it slowly on the light membrane.

Concentric rippies spread across the membrane, and a counterforce swelled from the point of contact. In Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, the Thousand Threads Technique operated at its peak, continuously perceiving changes within the formation.

Silently breaking through the formation and infiltrating it unnoticed was beyond Chen Fei’s current capabilities. However, he could attempt to keep his actions within a smaller range and avoid detection by cultivators from other sects.

The ripples on the light membrane grew larger and Chen Fei collected more and more information. In the next moment, a black light burst from Chen Fei’s palm.

The Zhongyuan Force Formation unfolded, enveloping the area ahead. Not only that, but the Dragon Elephant Formation was embedded at the edge of the Zhongyuan Force Formation, stabilizing the fluctuations of elemental energy in the vicinity.

“Rip!”

Chen Fei suddenly opened his eyes, and the faint light in his eyes intensified. A black sword radiance pierced directly into the light membrane, tearing open a gap-

The entire light membrane trembled violently. Chen Fei swiftly entered the light membrane, retracting his power. The light membrane instantly repaired itself completely. However, it did not become completely calm at this moment but continued to oscillate at a certain frequency.

It’s actually transmitting information outward, but it’s a pity that there are no longer any Long Rainbow Sect members to receive this information,” Chen Fei noted the change in the formation. His expression shifted slightly. This formation was quite impressive, not because of the strength of its defense, but due to its strong warning capabilities.

Even if someone managed to break in, this formation would continue to issue warnings and transmit information about the situation.

Chen Fei shifted his gaze away, his figure flickering as he dashed towards the location where starlight was twinkling in the distance.

In just a moment, Chen Fei stood in front of several stone steles. These indeed contained the Long Rainbow Sect’s legacy cultivation techniques. Similar to the Primordial Sword Sect, the Long Rainbow Sect transmitted their techniques through these stone steles.

These stone steles could vividly display the essence of cultivation techniques. Compared to the monotonous descriptions in written text, this method was clearly more conducive to cultivation techniques.

“The Long Rainbow Sect possesses four sets of cultivation techniques, all of them related to spear. So, what set is this?”

There were a total of five stone tablets placed in front of Chen Fei. Among them, the aura emanating from four of the stone tablets was sharp and domineering, clearly related to spear techniques.

However, the one stone tablet standing beside them gave off an aura that was not only slightly fierce but also more of a harmonious nature. Chen Fei recalled the information about Long Rainbow Sect’s techniques, and it seemed that none of their spear techniques matched this description.

Curiosity piqued, Chen Fei approached the stone tablet and observed it. Suddenly, the techniques within his body, the Zhongyuan Sword Art and the Soaring Heaven Technique, experienced a slight tremor.

This tremor was very subtle, quickly subsiding, and if one wasn’t paying close attention, it would go unnoticed. However, Chen Fei had already perfected his skills in the Zhongyuan Sword Art and the Soaring Heaven Technique, understanding all the nuances of these techniques. Therefore, he immediately noticed this anomaly.

“It’s not a danger warning. It’s more like resonance? Resonance with these two techniques…”

Chen Fei’s eyes widened slowly as he looked at the stone tablet in front of him. After some thought, he placed his palm on it.

In the next moment, an image rushed into Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness. Simultaneously, the Zhongyuan Sword Art and the Soaring Heaven Technique started trembling continuously.

**

Primordial Sword Scripture!

**

The heritage preserved within this stone tablet was none other than the total technique of the long-lost Primordial Sword Scripture of the Primordial Sword Sect.

The Primordial Sword Scripture, a fusion of the techniques from the four peaks and three meridians, leads to the pinnacle of combat strength.

However, within the Primordial Sword Sect, not only were the other four techniques incomplete, but the most crucial total technique of the Primordial Sword Scripture had also vanished without a trace.

Chen Fei never expected that he would find the total technique of the Primordial Sword Scripture in the Long Rainbow Sect’s heritage site.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei opened his eyes, gazing at the stone tablet before him, his expression filled with regret.

This is indeed the core of the Primordial Sword Scripture, but it is still damaged. The complete Primordial Sword Sect consists of seven levels, which can integrate seven sets of techniques into a cohesive whole.

However, this Primordial Sword Scripture inscribed on the stone tablet only contains the complete methods for the first two levels. The third level is damaged, allowing for only partial cultivation.

Even if Chen Fei fully cultivates this Primordial Sword Scripture, he can only integrate two sets of Primordial Sword Sect techniques. As for the third set, he might be able to partially cultivate it, but it won’t be complete.

“The calamity that befell the sect back then was truly catastrophic. The techniques we’ve found are still damaged,” Chen Fei muttered with a hint of frustration. However, obtaining a portion of the Primordial Sword Scripture would greatly benefit Chen Fei’s strength improvement.

At the very least, once he fully cultivates these two levels of the Primordial Sword Scripture, Chen Fei can choose to fuse the Zhongyuan Sword and the Giant Spirit Sword. Chen Fei has been curious about the Giant Spirit Sword for a long time, but due to conflicting techniques, he couldn’t cultivate it.

Not only could Chen Fei cultivate it, but he could also bring it back to the sect for other elders to cultivate. Fusing the Zhongyuan Sword with the Giant Spirit Sword would undoubtedly open up many more acupoints, greatly benefiting the enhancement of the sect’s top-tier combat strength.

With a resounding impact, Chen Fei turned his palm into a fist and struck the stone tablet. Precisely controlled force followed the edges of the inner core, causing the entire stone tablet to tremble slightly. It shattered into numerous stone fragments, making a dull sound.

Extending his right hand, Chen Fei caught a stone fragment emitting a faint glow. In his hand was the core of the technique’s inheritance, while the other shattered fragments served as the source of energy for the core.

Chen Fei summoned the wooden box from the spatial grid, tossed the core stone fragment of the technique into it, and then placed the wooden box back into the spatial grid.

“Why hasn’t the panel shown the prompt to purchase a second spatial grid?” Chen Fei wondered aloud. Every time he used the spatial grid, he had the same question. Unfortunately, the panel was just an inanimate object and wouldn’t provide any answers. Chen Fei had no way of knowing how to exchange for a second spatial grid.

Taking a step, Chen Fei walked over to the nearby stone tablet. He had come here for the inheritance of the cultivation techniques of the Long Rainbow Sect. While the Primordial Sword Scripture was a pleasant surprise, he had no intention of passing up the other four sets of spear techniques.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei removed his palm from the stone tablet, his expression peculiar as he looked at it. The spear technique inherited within the stone tablet was actually altered.

Calling it “damaged” might not be entirely accurate. A more precise description would be that this spear technique had been modified.

The Broken Yuan Spear Technique allowed the cultivation of eighty-five acupoints. The methods for the first twenty-seven acupoints were correct, but the method for the twenty-eighth acupoint had been altered.

Starting from the twenty-ninth acupoint, it reverted to the normal method.

The most challenging lies are often those that mix truth with falsehood. By altering minor details while keeping the majority true, it becomes nearly impossible to discern the deception.

In the realm of cultivation techniques, such deceptions could be particularly treacherous.

For the Broken Yuan Spear Technique, if someone were to practice the altered version, they would likely encounter problems when they reached the twenty-eighth acupoint, potentially leading to dangerous consequences.

“Quite ruthless!”

Chen Fei thought to himself that this spear technique had little value even if he brought it back to the sect. So why not leave it here and let other sects fall into the trap?

Of course, even if people from other sects brought the technique back, they wouldn’t practice it lightly. They would undoubtedly examine it carefully and allow their disciples to study it.

The Long Rainbow Sect’s approach was probably expected by others. When faced with life and death, most sects, if they had the time, would either destroy their own inheritance or make modifications to harm others.

Chen Fei turned to look at the other three sets of inheritance, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to take a look. Since he was already here, he might as well take the opportunity to understand the principles behind these techniques, which could still offer some valuable insights.

One hour later, Chen Fei had reviewed all the remaining three stone tablets. As expected, the other three sets of inheritances had also been modified, with acupoints moved to different positions.

Shaking his head, Chen Fei glanced at the broken stone fragments that he had destroyed earlier. After a brief thought, he extended his palm, and a black beam of light swept across, obliterating all the stone fragments.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, becoming like a shadow as he circled the entire cave. The cave wasn’t large, and the central area with the stone tablets was the focal point. He also noticed an artificial passage, which was likely the usual route for members of the Long Rainbow Sect to access this place.

Suddenly, as Chen Fei was considering his next move, he sensed the outermost formations of the cave trembling. It was clear that someone else had found their way here.

Not wanting to confront others, Chen Fei created a rift in the formations with his Qianyuan Sword, and swiftly entered it.

Not far from the martial arena, Chen Fei’s figure burst out from the ground.

It had been quite some time since he had infiltrated the Long Rainbow Sect, and by now, most of the sect’s resources were likely discovered. The fact that the location of the inheritance of cultivation techniques was only found so late indicated that it received the least attention..
