Chen Fei instructed Zhao Ruizheng and the other two to sever the elemental power ropes, allowing the nodes to return to the barrier.

Normally, the Black Divine Barrier wouldn’t concern itself with such trivial details. However, due to Chen Fei’s caution, he decided to relocate to continue.

Taking advantage was fine, but grabbing onto a sheep and pulling it too hard could easily lead to problems.

In the past hour, Chen Fei closely observed the changes in the nodes, allowing him to reopen special areas elsewhere without spending much time observing.

Zhao Ruizheng and his companions appeared slightly excited, tirelessly manipulating the nodes for an hour without feeling any fatigue, but rather rejuvenated.

It would likely be the same no matter who was involved.

Although Chen Fei took the lion’s share of the contributions, each of them also gained a small reward during that hour.

Killing monsters wasn’t easy, especially those above the Fourth-Tier, as one could easily get injured.

This was particularly true now that scattered monsters are hard to find on the outskirts.

Therefore, after just an hour, Zhao Ruizheng and his companions were very satisfied with their gains and had no complaints whatsoever.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Fei repeated the process elsewhere, and monsters began to appear once more.

Slaying early-stage Fourth-Tier monsters was effortless for Chen Fei now. Especially when the monsters just appeared and were still figuring out the situation, his Qianyuan Sword had already struck.

With Chen Fei’s current combat strength, dealing with a Fourth-Tier early- stage monster with a single sword was hardly a burden.

“Bang!”

With a dull sound, the monster turned into powder before Chen Fei. He glanced towards Green Acorn Lake.

This was the third location Chen Fei and his companions had moved to. Just now, Chen Fei sensed the trend of barrier energy, and it coincidentally pointed towards Green Acorn Lake.

Evidently, the Mountain Sea Realm should have already assembled, currently besieging the monsters at Green Acorn Lake.

Compared to the fierce battle at Green Acorn Lake, Chen Fei and his companions here were like whack-a-moles. Whenever a monster showed up, they simply dealt it a swift blow with their swords, that was all.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, with nightfall imminent.

After five continuous hours of combat, Chen Fei had accumulated nearly fifty points of merit on his Jade Ruler, a quite impressive figure.

And achieving these contribution points had only taken such a short amount of time.

As night approached, Zhao Ruizheng and his two companions couldn’t help but look towards Chen Fei.

“Should we take a rest tonight and come back tomorrow?” Zhao Ruizheng asked.

The feeling of continuously earning contribution points was great, but the night within the Black Divine Barrier was considerably more dangerous than daytime and more prone to anomalies.

Every time there was a new change in the Black Divine Barrier, it occurred under the cover of night.

Chen Fei pondered deeply. Normally, he would choose to rest at night.

However, with the recent outbreak of fighting at Green Acorn Lake and the overall peculiar sensation the barrier was giving him today, Chen Fei had a distinct feeling that something might go wrong.

Zhao Ruizheng and his companions didn’t share this perception, clearly indicating it was something Chen Fei, with his gang’s unique insights, had captured.

Yet, being merely an outsider, Chen Fei couldn’t pinpoint exactly what might occur.

“Let’s continue. I feel something is off. Let’s make the most of this time to earn more contribution points,” Chen Fei said, lifting his gaze to the three with a serious tone.

Zhao Ruizheng and his companions were slightly taken aback by Chen Fei’s unexpected decision.

But considering Chen Fei’s ability to detect anomalies even within the barrier nodes, it seemed somewhat reasonable.

Under the cover of night, the battle at Green Acorn Lake showed no signs of stopping, remaining as intense as it had begun. However, overall, the humans seemed to have the upper hand.

With the peak of Mountain Sea Realm as the spearhead, the clustered monsters were forcefully separated, then swiftly dispatched by other peak experts of Mountain Sea Realm.

As for the Tree King hidden deep within Green Acorn Lake, it was directly struck down by a special treasure held by the peak experts of Tianyang Sacred Land, shattering half its body.

During the Tree King’s frenzy and rampage, all Mountain Sea Realm experts retreated from a distance.

Knowing its position beforehand resulted in heavy losses for this peak-level Fourth-Tier Tree King.

Meanwhile, the battle at Green Acorn Lake continued to escalate with mutual crushing. Chen Fei and his group had already relocated to their sixth position.

During the relocation, Chen Fei briefly departed for a moment, absorbing insights into the talent of Adamantine Body.

His proficiency with Adamantine Body advanced from novice to mastery.

Thus, the enhancement provided by the Adamantine Body talent increased Chen Fei’s strength from a one-tenth improvement in offense and defense to a two-tenths improvement, further bolstering his abilities.

While monsters within the barrier moved towards Green Acorn Lake, Chen Fei and his group roamed freely in areas devoid of both humans and monsters.

Monsters under the cover of night were indeed more aggressive than during the day. However, regardless of their heightened aggression, a Fourth-Tier early- stage monster remained just that. Chen Fei continued to dispatch them with ease, maintaining the speed of harvesting contribution points unaffected.

In the blink of an eye, several more hours passed, and the night was torn apart by dawn.

Chen Fei’s contribution points had surged past a hundred, marking his ability to exchange for a sect’s foundational technique from the Sacred Land.

Though it was only a half-set, it fully satisfied Chen Fei’s requirements. At most, he could exchange for another top-tier technique.

With such integration, Chen Fei’s primary cultivation technique could achieve the complete status of a Sacred Land foundational technique.

Standing in place, Chen Fei effortlessly dispatched a Fourth-Tier early-stage monster before him with a sword, yet his brow furrowed slightly.

The peculiar sensation granted by the barrier had become even more pronounced after fermenting overnight.

The Black Divine Barrier seemed to be brewing something, though it had yet to manifest.

During the initial month, it seemed the Black Divine Barrier was familiarizing itself with the rules of the Boundless Sea. Now, this familiarity had evidently reached its final stages.

“Keep killing!”

Chen Fei turned to Zhao Ruizheng and his two companions, whispering, “I feel something’s not right. There might be danger when we enter the Black Divine Barrier again later. Let’s take advantage of now and kill more!”

Perhaps Chen Fei was overly cautious, but he wanted to continue for a few more hours, then retreat to a safe area when night fell, absorb insights from the techniques, and then exit the barrier.

According to Chen Fei’s estimation, the changes in the barrier might occur either slightly before or after the dawn tomorrow.

He didn’t want to personally experience what kind of changes the barrier might undergo.

Seeing Chen Fei’s serious expression, Zhao Ruizheng and his two companions nodded in agreement.

Despite spending the entire day inside the barrier, Zhao Ruizheng and his companions didn’t feel fatigued. After all, it wasn’t intense combat.

Continuously changing locations every hour, the merit points on Chen Fei’s Jade Ruler were rapidly increasing.

When the contribution points on Chen Fei’s Jade Ruler reached one hundred and sixty-seven, he stopped because night was approaching.

The battle at Green Acorn Lake should be reaching its most intense phase right now. Even without being there in person, Chen Fei could sense it from the fluctuations within the barrier.

Leading Zhao Ruizheng and his two companions, Chen Fei returned to the city wall.

Zhao Ruizheng and his companions left the barrier first, while Chen Fei stayed behind under the pretext of something.

Under the cover of night, the lingering spirits seemed to transform into eerie entities, crazily assaulting from all directions.

Under the protection of the Xuanyuan Sword, Chen Fei tore through the illusion.

Compared to the previous night, the intensity of the illusion had increased significantly, which had little effect on Chen Fei but posed a challenge for other experts of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Thirty Xuanyuan Sword illusions shattered directly, causing Chen Fei to narrow his eyes slightly. The contamination within this insight had reached a dangerously extreme level.

His proficiency with the talent of Adamantine Body had taken a significant stride within mastery. With increased contamination, the amount of insight gained also rose.

Standing on the city wall, Chen Fei looked at the Black Divine Barrier. While it was a slaughterhouse for other Mountain Sea Realm experts, for Chen Fei, it had become a place to rapidly enhance his strength.

There were no dangers, no significant setbacks.

This was all due to the various techniques and foundations Chen Fei had mastered early on.

Meeting challenges was not difficult; in fact, it was almost effortless. This was because of the solid foundation laid in the early stages and Chen Fei’s habit of continually collecting techniques.

This habit served him well, and Chen Fei intended to maintain it.

Turning away, Chen Fei left the barrier directly.

Zhao Ruizheng and his two companions waited outside the barrier for Chen Fei. They didn’t inquire why Chen Fei had chosen to stay behind for a moment; everyone had their own secrets.

Chen Fei and his companions arrived at the Mission Hall. After considering for a moment, Chen Fei reported his speculation about possible changes in the Black Divine Barrier.

With little evidence, the strengthened illusion was one aspect.

The Mission Hall recorded Chen Fei’s speculation. Such subjective guesses were often reported by experts of the Mountain Sea Realm, so it wasn’t particularly unusual.

However, as Chen Fei wasn’t apeak expert of the Mountain Sea Realm, the likelihood of his speculation being accepted was low.

Chen Fei didn’t insist on the Mission Hall believing him because even he couldn’t articulate a clear reason. Nonetheless, he harbored no regrets about reporting it.

Glancing back at the barrier in the distance, which almost connected heaven and earth, Chen Fei pondered for a moment before deciding to exchange all his contribution points.

After leaving the Mission Hall and returning, Chen Fei appeared different in appearance and demeanor.

“I’d like to exchange for something,” Chen Fei said, handing over his Jade Ruler.

Moments later, a jade box was placed in front of Chen Fei.

Without specifying the exact items, just leaving information on the Jade Ruler was sufficient. The attendants of the Mission Hall wouldn’t see the request; instead, others from the Mission Hall would prepare the items and place them in the sealed jade box.

This was a rule established for the exchange of a large amount of contribution points, set by several major Sacred Lands to reassure the hearts of many Mountain Sea Realm experts, knowing well that wealth could stir desires.

Chen Fei opened the jade box, from which rose a concealing array to prevent others from peeking inside.

Gazing at the contents before him, the most significant item was a half-set of a Sacred Land’s foundational technique, now nestled inside the jade box.

Closing the lid of the jade box, Chen Fei turned and left the Mission Hall.

Taking a few deliberate turns outside to ensure no one was following, Chen Fei returned to his secret chamber.

Normally, there shouldn’t be any issues; after all, the major Sacred Lands wouldn’t make mistakes in such matters involving significant assets. However, Chen Fei preferred to trust himself more.

He first placed the spiritual materials from the jade box into the Qianyuan Sword, then took out the Sacred Land’s foundational technique.

The Stellar Divine Technique, the pinnacle technique of the Stellar Sacred Land.

Having previously exchanged for the Seven Star Illumination Technique, which offered better continuity, naturally led to the Stellar Divine Technique.

Chen Fei meticulously studied it word by word, sentence by sentence, a process that consumed three hours.

Despite being only half of the Stellar Divine Technique, the profound principles contained within involuntarily captivated Chen Fei, drawing him deeper into its intricacies.

“Discovered technique: Stellar Divine Technique (Partial).”

“Fusion!”

“Discovered technique: Purple Sky Stellar Technique!”

The proficiency of the original Purple Sky Stellar Sword, once in the Perfection realm, now swiftly dropped to the beginning stages of Mastery upon integrating the new Purple Sky Stellar Technique.

Seeing the change in proficiency, Chen Fei’s eyes lit up because it indicated the new technique was of an exceptionally high level.

Chen Fei focused intently, beginning to examine the specifics of the Purple Sky Stellar Technique. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye as he remained deeply immersed.

Suddenly, the entire secret chamber violently shook.

Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly, thinking of the Black Divine Barrier. His figure flickered, swiftly appearing outside the secret chamber.

Looking up, Chen Fei saw a black pillar of light erupting from the Black Divine Barrier, piercing into the sky. The ground trembled intensely beneath his feet.

To his surprise, the Black Divine Barrier was visibly shrinking at a rapid pace.
