Chapter 867: Seven Sacred Land’s Cultivation Techniques

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Two hours later, all arena competitions had ended, and the final rankings appeared.

If anyone had objections, they could challenge the top five in each realm.

There were challengers, but in the end, the rankings did not change.

This single-victory advancement system had its flaws, but those who made it to the end certainly had their own strengths.

“Alright, the selection for the life-and-death decisions is concluded here. You may disperse.”

floated Zhan Xuming in mid-air, addressing the people below in the central hall in a soft voice.

Everyone respectfully bowed to the several masters of the Sun Moon Realms, then subsequently flew away from the central hall.

As for what happened next, it could be said that it was no longer their concern.

The future of the Boundless Sea would depend on the top twenty on the list and their performance in the life-and-death decision a month later.

Zhao Ruizheng and others waved to Chen Fei and flew towards the direction of Thousand Geese City.

“For the next month, you would all be staying in the central hall. During this period, we would spare no effort in enhancing your combat abilities!”

Zhan Xuming turned to look at Gu Zhongquan and others, nodding slightly before proceeding to fly forwards.

The Monster Emperor Chiho Elephant and Zhan Xuming would accompany these Mountain Sea Realm experts and Monster Kings in a mentor-like role.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhan Xuming and Chiho Elephant, along with twenty Mountain Sea Realm experts and Monster Kings, appeared in a secret chamber.

“This is the Enlightenment Chamber. Regardless of the cultivation method, you can quickly enter a state of comprehension, even achieving sudden enlightenment,” Zhan Xuming introduced to everyone.

Chen Fei immediately noticed a large boulder at the center of the Enlightenment Chamber.

A profound and mysterious aura emanated from it.

Even before starting their cultivation, various insights and inspirations about cultivation methods involuntarily surfaced in their minds.

The strength of the Mountain Sea Realm depended greatly on their comprehension of cultivation methods. Why was Zhu Xiaowen so strong? It was because, in the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, he had already perfected the Nine Heavens Dust Technique.

For Monster Kings, cultivation involved inherent information within their bloodlines, which was also a form of cultivation method tailored specifically for the Monster race.

“In the bag are Fairy Sound Grass. If you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation method, you can consume it directly. Remember, whether human or monster, this grass can only be used once in a lifetime,” Zhan Xuming cautioned.

Zhan Xuming waved his hand, and several Qiankun bags floated towards everyone.

Chen Fei instinctively caught one and probed inside. It contained a jade box holding a spiritual herb.

Fairy Sound Grass. Chen Fei had only seen it in ancient texts; it wasn’t even listed on the exchange board at the Mission Hall.

The effects of Fairy Sound Grass were direct and formidable, enhancing comprehension several times over.

Moreover, whether in the early or peak stages of the Fourth Rank, its effect remained unchanged, unaffected by the cultivator’s level.

In addition to Fairy Sound Grass, the Qiankun bag also contained dozens of Thousand Soul Pills that could enhance spiritual power.

Since the life-and-death decision a month later was categorized by realm, cultivation level could no longer be improved. However, strengthening mental and spiritual power was still possible.

For Fourth Rank cultivators, these enhancements were crucial to their combat prowess.

“Next, each of you come to me in order, and I’ll offer you cultivation advice. If you have any needs, feel free to ask,” Zhan Xuming said with a smile.

“Monster race, come to me,” Chiho Elephant’s deep voice resonated.

All the resources provided by the Sacred Lands and the Monster race were solely for the upcoming life-and-death decision a month later.

Just the Fairy Sound Grass and Thousand Soul Pills alone were priceless treasures.

Zhan Xuming and Chiho Elephant each entered separate chambers.

Starting from the early Fourth Rank, the Mountain Sea Realm experts and Monster Kings sought out Zhan Xuming and Chiho Elephant respectively.

Chen Fei arrived at the center of the Enlightenment Chamber, curiously observing the massive stone before him.

The stone wasn’t a single piece but composed of multiple fragments. Chen Fei could sense faint traces of different cultivation methods on each fragment.

“Several Sacred Lands pooled together?”

Chen Fei discerned various sect-specific cultivation methods on some of the Enlightenment Stones.

During the earlier selection matches, Chen Fei had gained a rough understanding of the cultivation methods of each Sacred Land.

“This kind of power accelerates comprehension like the Myriad Clone, but without its drawbacks,” Chen Fei noted.

As people around him began their cultivation, Chen Fei could feel the energy within these Enlightenment Stones gradually dissipating.

Pooling resources from several Sacred Lands was evidently necessary. These Enlightenment Stones were extremely precious even to the Sacred Lands, and they wouldn’t have been brought out if not for the upcoming life-and-death decision.

Within the Sacred Lands, many strong individuals emerged. Besides the innate talents of the disciples, these external items played a significant role.

This ensured that every generation of the Sacred Lands produced formidable individuals, even seeing the birth of Sun Moon Realm experts each generation.

After observing for a moment, Chen Fei noticed that although these Enlightenment Stones were absorbing natural energy, their recovery rate was very slow.

Without Chen Fei’s keen perception, one might think these stones were only depleting and not replenishing.

There was no record of these Enlightenment Stones in the ancient texts, and it was unknown where the Sacred Lands had obtained them from.

Rubbing his chin, Chen Fei happened to see Zhu Xiaowen emerging from Zhan Xuming’s chamber. Chen Fei stopped studying the Enlightenment Stones and walked over.

Inside the chamber, Zhan Xuming sat cross-legged on a cushion. Seeing Chen Fei’s arrival, a smile appeared on his face, and he gestured for Chen Fei to sit.

“What do you need?”

Zhan Xuming asked with a smile once Chen Fei was seated. This selection process had been Chen Fei’s biggest gain, undoubtedly, along with Gu Zhongquan and Bloodwing Divine Phoenix.

But none of these were as stunning as Chen Fei’s performance.

“All the sect-specific techniques from the Seven Great Sacred Lands!” Chen Fei looked at Zhan Xuming and after a moment’s thought, spoke up.

“All the sect-specific techniques from all the Sacred Lands?” Zhan Xuming couldn’t help but be taken aback by this request, something he hadn’t anticipated beforehand.

Zhan Xuming furrowed his brow slightly. If Chen Fei had just asked for the complete Stellar Divine Technique from the Stellar Sacred Land, he would have immediately provided it.

After all, Chen Fei had already cultivated half of the Stellar Divine Technique, and integrating the remaining half would undoubtedly enhance his abilities significantly.

But asking for all the sect-specific techniques from every Sacred Land was different. It wasn’t that Zhan Xuming was unwilling to provide them, nor that the other Sacred Lands would refuse. It was simply that there was only one month left until the life-and-death decision.

Even if Chen Fei had access to all the sect-specific techniques from every Sacred Land, how much could he truly learn in such a short time?

Could he end up spreading himself too thin and missing the optimal period for strengthening his abilities?

One month was indeed short, especially in terms of cultivation in the Mountain Sea Realm.

For the future of the Boundless Sea, any mistake during the life-and-death decision was absolutely unacceptable.

“Would it be too much? How about I give you the Stellar Divine Technique and another Sacred Land’s sect-specific technique for you to compare and analyze?” Zhan Xuming pondered for a moment.

“I have the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique. Sacred Master, you don’t need to worry about me. Mastering the supreme techniques of the Seven Sacred Lands will allow me to enhance my strength even more.”

Upon hearing that Zhan Xuming didn’t outright refuse but instead proposed a negotiation, a smile crept onto Chen Fei’s face.

This was precisely why Chen Fei had exerted almost all his effort on the arena before.

If he had only aimed to secure the top spot in the mid-Fourth Rank, Chen Fei wouldn’t have needed to challenge both Zhu Xiaowen and Bloodwing Divine Phoenix simultaneously. One-on-one, it would have been easier for him.

But Chen Fei needed the sect-specific techniques from all Seven Great Sacred Lands to completely integrate them into a new form, surpassing even the sect­specific techniques of the Sacred Lands.

To achieve this goal, Chen Fei needed to monsterstrate sufficient value.

Whether facing two opponents at once or sweeping through them, with such strength and talent, any request from the Sacred Lands had to be carefully considered.

Because those in the Sun Moon Realm understood that many prodigies couldn’t be judged by conventional standards.

“I understand you have the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, but it does have its drawbacks,” Zhan Xuming frowned.

The Dream Shadow Master of that year was arguably the foremost figure under the Sun Moon Realm. Unfortunately, such a gifted individual ultimately couldn’t break through to the Sun Moon Realm.

“I will focus on mastering the Stellar Divine Technique while concurrently studying the techniques of other Sacred Lands. This will allow me to further enhance my strength,” Chen Fei said solemnly.

If not for this opportunity, let alone the sect-specific techniques of the Seven Great Sacred Lands, Chen Fei wouldn’t even have a chance to learn the complete Stellar Divine Technique.

Zhan Xuming looked at Chen Fei’s determined gaze and couldn’t help but ponder. He then communicated with the other Sun Moon Realm experts through profound treasures.

After a moment, Zhan Xuming looked back at Chen Fei and said, “Your request has been agreed upon by all the Sacred Masters. I hope you understand what you are undertaking!”

“Thank you for your kindness, Sacred Master!” Chen Fei’s eyes brightened, bowing respectfully to Zhan Xuming.

Zhan Xuming shook his head slightly. If it weren’t for Chen Fei’s exaggerated performance on the arena, even tearing through spatial rifts, such a request would not have gained his agreement, let alone approval from other Sun Moon Realm experts.

“Besides the sect-specific techniques, what else do you need?” Zhan Xuming continued.

“Myriad Bamboo, the more, the better!” Chen Fei grinned broadly.

An hour later, Chen Fei sat cross-legged on a cushion, surrounded by nineteen other Mountain Sea Realm experts and Monster Kings.

The spacing between everyone was considerable, ensuring no mutual disturbance. The cushion Chen Fei sat on was an extraordinary treasure that, coupled with the Enlightenment Stones, allowed him to enter the state of comprehending techniques almost instantly.

However, these details were trivial compared to the fact that Chen Fei now held seven jade slips in his hands, each containing the sect-specific techniques of the seven Sacred Lands.

Of course, Chen Fei had also sworn an oath that these sect-specific techniques would only be studied by himself and not disseminated to others.

Chen Fei had no intention of sharing them anyway. Yet, once he integrated these techniques together, they would become his own, vastly surpassing the individual sect-specific techniques of each Sacred Land.

In addition to the jade slips, at Chen Fei’s feet lay a multitude of Myriad Bamboo, totaling thirteen hundred stalks.

This quantity was approaching the number of Myriad Clones used by the Dream Shadow Master in his prime.

If Chen Fei had gathered these on his own, considering one stalk of Myriad Bamboo cost six thousand high-grade elemental stones, the total value of these bamboos would amount to seven hundred and eighty million high-grade elemental stones.

This figure left Chen Fei himself astonished.
