The acquisition of this kind of technique was completely achieved by accumulating a large number of elemental stones. For others, even if they had spiritual treasures and elemental stones, they might still have ended up empty-handed.

Only Chen Fei had the possibility of turning this impossibility into possibility, thanks to his panel.

Chen Fei’s strength was constantly improving, and the consumption of elemental stones was also astonishingly high, because each time the spiritual treasure swallowed, it consumed nearly a hundred pieces of medium-grade elemental stones.

Although over ten thousand medium-grade elemental stones seemed like a lot, the time that the spiritual treasure could indulge in devouring them without restraint wouldn’t be too long.

However, Chen Fei didn’t mind. The ultimate goal of earning so many medium-grade elemental stones was to use them.

As long as those medium-grade elemental stones could eventually be transformed into strength, then everything was worthwhile.

The energy contained in the spiritual treasure was indeed miraculous. Not only could it be absorbed by the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point to enhance the physique, but also the speed of recovery of the cracks in Chen Fei’s body’s Combined Aperture Tempering had been improved after being nourished by the energy of the spiritual treasure.

Originally estimated to take more than a month, the cracks in the Combined Aperture Tempering would only completely recover. But now, looking at the pace, it might not even take half a month to restore the Combined Aperture Tempering to its original state.

By then, Chen Fei could start preparing to break through to the Fifth Transformation of the Combined Aperture Tempering.

The situation around Sea Dominion City continued to deteriorate, and Chen Fei didn’t know how much longer he could quietly cultivate like this.

Therefore, Chen Fei had to take advantage of this calm period to quickly elevate his strength. Even if there were any unforeseen circumstances later on, Chen Fei would have enough time to deal with them.

Chen Fei had two spatial grids, one usually used to store spiritual treasures, and the other used to store sword elements.

After refining the Profound Heavenly Sword to perfection, Chen Fei had intended to update the sword elements in the spatial grid. However, considering the opening of the Five Forbidden Laws, which not only damaged the physique but also had a significant impact on the Combined Aperture Tempering, it was not a small matter.

Now, the most important thing was to first elevate his realm.

The difference in the Profound Heavenly Sword before and after reaching perfection had an impact on strength, but it wasn’t to the extent of a significant gap. Even without changing the sword elements, the impact wouldn’t be too great.

As time passed, with a large consumption of medium-grade elemental stones, Chen Fei’s strength continued to advance, and insights gained from the spiritual treasure were also accumulating in his sea of consciousness.

Profound and mysterious, the gate of myriad wonders.

This feeling of being able to perceive but unable to describe it in words was truly extremely wonderful.

If others were to find out how many medium-grade elemental stones Chen Fei had consumed in such a short time, they would probably be completely bewildered. Chen Fei himself acknowledged the significant consumption of elemental stones, but he had no regrets whatsoever.

Compared to the eventual appearance of the soul cultivation technique, this investment in spirit stones was insignificant.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed, and the Combined Aperture Temperings in Chen Fei’s body were almost as good as new. However, Chen Fei wasn’t in a hurry to break through immediately.

Forcing a breakthrough to the Fifth Transformation of the Combined Aperture Tempering would exert even greater pressure compared to when he forced the fourth turn. Therefore, Chen Fei wanted to ensure that his Combined Aperture Temperings were in the best possible condition before attempting the breakthrough.

Recently, with the nurturing of the spiritual treasure’s energy, Chen Fei could even feel a slight improvement in the resilience of his Combined Aperture Temperings.

While it couldn’t be compared to the effect of the Celestial Azure Flower, it was indeed much stronger than ordinary spiritual materials.

Chen Fei decided to spend a few more days to ensure that his Combined Aperture Temperings were in the most ideal state before attempting the breakthrough. A few days more or less was something Chen Fei could naturally afford to wait for.

If the breakthrough to the Fifth Transformation of the Combined Aperture Tempering went smoothly, then he could schedule the breakthrough to the Sixth Transformation of the Combined Aperture Tempering.

Since he knew that the spiritual treasure had a repairing effect on the Combined Aperture Temperings, Chen Fei wouldn’t need to wait for months like now when attempting the breakthrough to the Sixth Transformation of the Combined Aperture Tempering.

The only thing was that the spiritual treasure was a devouring beast. With over ten thousand medium-grade elemental stones, it was likely that Chen Fei’s consumption wouldn’t be sustained, and he’d probably need to figure out a way to earn more elemental stones to replenish his supply.

Only by doing so could Chen Fei support his rapid cultivation progress.

Inside the cultivation chamber, Chen Fei suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion in his gaze.

Dozens of miles away, Chen Fei’s clone stood amidst the formation of the Primordial Sword Sect, engaged in the relentless slaughter of first and second-order sea monsters that continued to attack.

These sea monsters were like locusts, especially the first-order ones, which seemed to be densely packed as far as the eye could see.

In the Boundless Sea, first-order sea monsters could be considered the most common existence. Many sea monsters reached the mid-level of the first order shortly after birth, and reached the peak of the first order after reaching adulthood.

Some powerful sea monster races could even reach the level of the early second order after reaching adulthood.

This means that many sea monsters are born with much stronger strength than humans, and their strength can increase steadily without the need for cultivation.

Compared to sea monsters, humans have almost no advantages to speak of.

However, for many sea monsters, once they reach adulthood, their strength is almost fixed, and breaking through again is extremely difficult.

Therefore, first-order sea monsters are almost everywhere, but as they reach the early second order, their numbers sharply decline, and this trend continues as they go higher. By the third order, their numbers have become rare.

In terms of high-end strength, humans are not much different from sea monsters, at least in the vicinity of the Thousand Feathers Alliance, which is why Sea Dominion City has been able to hold on until now.

Chen Fei’s clone swept through with a sword, causing dozens of first-order sea monsters to stiffen and then sink into the seabed. Stepping forward, Chen Fei arrived beside Qu Qingsheng. With a flash of sword elements, a second-order late-stage sea monster stiffened before turning into minced meat.

Qu Qingsheng turned to look at Chen Fei, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He didn’t currently need assistance, as Chen Fei usually only intervened when people around him were in danger.

“Something’s not right, let’s retreat!” Chen Fei said in a deep voice.

In Chen Fei’s perception, there was a faint aura of third-tier sea monsters in the distance. Due to the limitations of the clone’s strength, the amount of mental energy that could be infused into the clone was extremely limited.

Therefore, if the clone were to use the Heavenly Eye, its mental energy would quickly be depleted, causing the clone to automatically dissipate.

So, the clone generally wouldn’t use the Heavenly Eye. However, even without using the Heavenly Eye, the innate perception of several eye techniques was enough for Chen Fei to detect danger in advance.

The presence of third-tier sea monsters in the distance wasn’t surprising, as these sea monsters attacking Sea Dominion City would definitely include third-tier ones.

But what puzzled Chen Fei was the disappearance of the aura of Combined Aperture Tempering Tempering realm cultivators on the side of Sea Dominion City.

The Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators were responsible for killing first and second-tier sea monsters, while the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators were supposed to intercept when third-tier sea monsters appeared to prevent heavy losses among the Combined Aperture Tempering realm warriors.

However, Chen Fei currently didn’t sense a single Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator deployed nearby, which was against the rules.

Otherwise, if a third-tier sea monster charged in, not only would the Primordial Sword Sect suffer, but the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators from other sects in the vicinity would also sustain heavy losses.

This was a serious dereliction of duty, something that Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators wouldn’t dare to do unless someone wanted the nearby Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators to truly perish, weakening the strength of Sea Dominion City.

Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators couldn’t determine the final outcome of the battle because they were too weak, but that didn’t mean their strength was useless.

Facing the numerous first and second-order sea monsters, although Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators could easily kill them, it would undoubtedly consume a lot of energy. If third-tier sea monsters joined the fray later, Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators wouldn’t be able to kill the first and second-order sea monsters anymore.

At that point, these sea monsters could directly charge at Sea Dominion City. Despite the formidable formations of Sea Dominion City, they were still fixed in place and unable to move.

Mass tactics were of little significance against top-tier powerhouses because they could move freely, traversing the depths of the ocean or soaring into the sky, making it impossible for first and second-order sea monsters to catch up with them.

However, formations were fixed and could be forcibly depleted. Even Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators could potentially be worn down if dragged into the midst of a group of third-tier sea monsters.

Therefore, Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators were valuable to Sea Dominion City. It was precisely because of this that the Thousand Feathers Alliance had summoned so many Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators to guard Sea Dominion City.

When Chen Fei’s clone sensed the absence of Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators nearby, the first thought that flashed through his mind was that there were traitors targeting the Primordial Sword Sect. However, he quickly dismissed this notion.

Such actions would be too obvious, and the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators stationed here would undoubtedly be held accountable afterward, which would outweigh the benefits.

Regardless, it was too dangerous for the members of the Primordial Sword Sect to remain here. Moving closer to Sea Dominion City’s direction would be the safest choice.

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, Qu Qingsheng didn’t hesitate at all and began to control the formation of the Primordial Sword Sect, moving toward the rear.

Chen Fei observed his surroundings, noticing that the distant third-tier sea monsters seemed to sense the absence of human Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators and began to cautiously move closer.

Chen Fei frowned slightly, urging the Primordial Sword Sect to accelerate their retreat. Meanwhile, his main body, currently in the cultivation chamber, appeared outside.

“What’s happening?” Tong Linyun walked out of the cultivation chamber, looking at Chen Fei with confusion.

“There are some issues outside of Sea Dominion City. You’d better go to the defensive area of your own sect and take a look,” Chen Fei said to Tong Linyun in a low voice.

“This situation seems a bit strange this time. Be careful on the way.”

Tong Linyun’s expression instantly became serious. She knew Chen Fei’s strength well. If even Chen Fei felt the need to be cautious, then something must have really gone wrong at Sea Dominion City.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered and disappeared from the spot. Midway, he made a sword gesture with his right hand, brushing past his own brow, and looked towards the central area of Sea Dominion City.

Min Yanlu was not there!

Chen Fei didn’t directly observe Min Yanlu. If Min Yanlu were really there, he would definitely be sensed, and such probing might anger Min Yanlu.

Chen Fei observed the entire area instead. There were subtle differences if Min Yanlu was there or not, and Chen Fei’s Heavenly Eye could sense those slight variations.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a loud explosion came from afar, causing the entire Sea Dominion City to tremble slightly. Chen Fei looked up and noticed the formation of Sea Dominion City swaying slightly.

Someone was undermining the formation of Sea Dominion City!

Chen Fei’s brow furrowed, and he scanned the area around his brow, sensing a familiar aura drifting, but in such a short time, Chen Fei couldn’t capture it.

“Hum!”

A ripple flashed by, and the power of the aerial prohibition in Sea Dominion City dissipated, followed by several figures soaring directly into the sky..
