Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 1053: Chapter 1016: All Directions Above and Below Called Yu

Time is supreme, space is king. Destiny does not emerge, cause and effect reign supreme.

This is a rhyme popular among the human race. In fact, there are many similar sayings, and each person in the Rule Integration Realm has their own opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of each rule.

However, no matter how it changes, the rules of space always play an extremely important role.

In front of Chen Fei were five Emperor inheritances, all of which involved cultivating the rules of space.

Of course, these were not the main rules of space, but rather the secondary rules of “Big.”

The main rule of space, which requires the blending of various secondary rules, hasn’t even been reached by those in the Open Heaven Realm of the human race, naturally leaving no one who had cultivated the main rule of space.

Being able to cultivate the secondary rules of space was, to Chen Fei, already quite an incredible achievement for the human race.

This specific secondary rule “Big,” as the name suggests, can extend and enlarge normal space. If one could completely control this secondary rule, ordinary attacks would even hardly reach oneself.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Or it might be said that in this world, very few things are absolute.

When the opponent masters other rules of similar caliber, it then mostly depends on each individual’s ability to control their respective rules.

Just as water extinguishes fire, but sometimes fire can also extinguish water.

The secondary rules of space “Big” and “Small” are supposed to be relatively easy to control, but Chen Fei had just glanced at the inheritances on the shelves.

In the Emperor inheritances of the human race, only the secondary rule of space “Big” existed, as if the human race’s talent could only comprehend this aspect of the space rules.

Chen Fei finally chose this secondary rule of space, mainly considering the uniqueness of the space rules.

Beyond the inherent strength of the space rules, they also form the foundation for most other rules.

Chen Fei was different from other cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm; the rule fragments within him were forged from rule particles of various characteristics.

This ensured that Chen Fei’s three Divine Powers were not only unweakened but also elevated to a higher level.

If Chen Fei could obtain all fifty-seven Emperor inheritances, then he could continue to refine various rule particles and cultivate upwards.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But now, since he could only choose one rule, Chen Fei felt that selecting a fundamental but powerful rule would be a better choice.

If Chen Fei had the chance later to acquire other Emperor inheritances and cultivate other secondary rules, he could fully integrate them into the space rules.

Moreover, now that he was cultivating this secondary rule of space, any shortcomings related to his body movements could be said to be completely resolved.

In the future, whether Chen Fei was pursuing an enemy or forced to flee due to lack of strength, this secondary rule of space could provide him with great assistance.

The embarrassing situation of not being able to catch up to save Yu Dingshan within the boundaries of Pushan City should no longer occur.

“Space rules, ah, they’re not easy to learn.”

Seeing Chen Fei stop in front of the five inheritances of space rules, Zhuo Mingyong chuckled and said,

“Don’t think that just because there are five inheritances concerning the rules of space in the Emperor inheritances, that it means they are suitable for many in the human race; in fact, very few can cultivate them, and most in the Rule Integration Realm can only reach entry level before they cannot advance further.”

“Thank you for the guidance, Senior, but the junior would like to give it a try,” Chen Fei said, bowing.

After all, the highest rules are difficult to comprehend, which is almost inevitable. However, difficulty in comprehension was not within Chen Fei’s considerations; he only considered suitability.

“You have the freedom to choose which martial arts to study. Have you made your decision?” Zhuo Mingyong responded neutrally to Chen Fei’s words.

Previously, Zhuo Mingyong did not know who Chen Fei was, just treating him as a usual newly advanced cultivator in the Rule Integration Realm.

Zhuo Mingyong, who stayed in this storeroom, had long been detached from worldly affairs, and with his life nearing its end, he did not have the strength to concern himself with many things.

But Chen Fei gave Zhuo Mingyong a very young impression, which piqued his curiosity, leading him to inquire about Chen Fei through special channels, and thus he understood Chen Fei’s current reputation and achievements within the human regions.

A prodigy indeed; even by Zhuo Mingyong’s standards, he had to admit that Chen Fei was a true prodigy.

A prodigy naturally has his own pride, and unless he truly encounters insurmountable difficulties, he will firmly believe his own talent can solve all problems.

However, Zhuo Mingyong’s reminder just now was indeed sincere.

The inheritances of the secondary rules of space, though seemingly plentiful with five in total, represented a rather mediocre aspect of human talent.

The five Emperors did not breakthrough to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm using only the secondary rules of space, but rather, after achieving the Emperor Realm, they later comprehended new rules and created these martial arts.

And in the end, only these five Emperors managed to control the complete secondary rules of space; no other Emperors throughout human history had ever controlled these secondary rules of space.

“The junior is certain,” Chen Fei nodded.

“Good!”

Zhuo Mingyong waved his hand, and five inheritance stones appeared before him, then flew towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei carefully caught them, sensing the breath from the inheritance stones, and a smile could not help but appear on his face.

Although he hadn’t obtained all the Sixth Stage Emperor Realm martial arts, with these five, Chen Fei’s battle strength would rapidly increase, especially since many of his weaknesses were now addressed.

“Did the Emperor say in the token that you still wanted to exchange top-grade primordial stones for low-grade Primordial Crystals?” Seeing Chen Fei carefully store the inheritance stones, Zhuo Mingyong revealed a slight smile as he spoke.

“Yes, I have quite a lot of top-grade primordial stones in my possession.”

Chen Fei nodded, pulled out an inferior-grade Celestial Treasure from his sleeve, and handed it over.

Previously, when he was in Qiankun Mansion, Chen Fei had over six million ultimate-grade primeval stones. Later, in the land’s boundary of Pushan City, Chen Fei killed quite a few warriors at the later stages of the Sun Moon Realm and the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm.

Especially at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm, there were not many low-grade Primordial Crystals, but there were considerably more ultimate-grade primeval stones.

Even if he did not sell those upper-grade and ultimate-grade Celestial Treasures and kept the spirit materials inside them, the number of ultimate-grade primeval stones Chen Fei possessed had once again exceeded ten million.

“Exchange all of them?”

Zhuo Mingyong checked the number of ultimate-grade primeval stones in the Celestial Treasure, his eyebrows twitching slightly, as the amount was indeed quite substantial.

“Yes, exchange all of them.”

Chen Fei nodded, ultimate-grade primeval stones were no longer useful to him, and even for his master and others, such a huge quantity wasn’t necessary.

“Alright!”

Zhuo Mingyong nodded, his palm trembling slightly, as he directly emptied the ultimate-grade primeval stones from the Celestial Treasure and replaced them with low-grade Primordial Crystals.

Watching Zhuo Mingyong’s movements, Chen Fei glimpsed the power, seeing from these simple actions the strong application of Rules in the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm.

After Zhuo Mingyong exchanged them for low-grade Primordial Crystals, he released his hand and the Celestial Treasure flew towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei caught the inferior-grade Celestial Treasure with his right hand and a brief sweep of his mental defense revealed that it now contained nearly thirty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

“If you have any fifth-tier materials or Celestial Treasures you don’t need, I can also exchange them for low-grade Primordial Crystals,” Zhuo Mingyong softly said.

Although geniuses possess their pride and generally don’t take advice, Zhuo Mingyong was still willing to provide as much help as possible to Chen Fei within his responsibilities.

Only by each generation growing up could the human race stand more firmly in the Return to Nothing Realm.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Hearing Zhuo Mingyong’s words, Chen Fei’s eyes brightened, and he quickly took out the upper-grade and ultimate-grade Celestial Treasures from his sleeve.

Previously, on the way back to Jiguang City, Chen Fei had already roughly sorted out the precious treasures in the Celestial Treasures.

For the current Chen Fei, ordinary fifth-tier materials were no longer of much use, except for some that could help with breakthroughs, which he kept on hand.

He would give them to Feng Xiupu and the others when they needed them.

After receiving more than twenty pieces of Celestial Treasure from Chen Fei’s hand, Zhuo Mingyong’s mental defense swept over them, quickly assessing their value.

A payment of just over twenty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals was placed into Chen Fei’s Celestial Treasure.

Thus, Chen Fei had exchanged all the fifth-tier materials and ultimate-grade primeval stones that he could not use for nearly sixty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

A short time later, Chen Fei left the storeroom.

Zhuo Mingyong watched Chen Fei’s disappearing figure, his gaze thoughtful.

In his heart, Zhuo Mingyong still hoped that Chen Fei would gain some understanding of the Space Rules and embark on that path.

Because in actual combat, Space Rules indeed held a significant advantage, especially for a prodigy like Chen Fei, it could protect him before he fully matured.

But understanding the secondary rule of space was really too difficult.

Under the escort of the deacon, Chen Fei left the city lord’s mansion.

Just as he stepped out of the main gate, a figure approached Chen Fei with respect.

“Senior Chen, I apologize for the intrusion!” Wei Hongyuan bowed in greeting.

Chen Fei stopped, gazing at Wei Hongyuan with a hint of confusion; the face looked familiar, probably also a student from Qiankun Mansion before.

“My master, Sun Guangyuan, was also in Pushan City’s land’s boundary before but had not taken Senior Chen with him earlier. Hearing that Senior Chen has safely returned, he specially sends an invitation for Senior Chen to visit our mansion,” Wei Hongyuan said softly.

“Oh, it’s Senior Sun.”

Chen Fei’s expression shifted and then he smiled, saying, “Please tell Senior Sun that I appreciate his kind intentions, but I just broke through to the Rule Integration Realm and urgently need to stabilize my cultivation realm. I will definitely visit next time!”

Wei Hongyuan paused, surprised by Chen Fei’s refusal, but Chen Fei’s reason was indeed reasonable.

After all, having just made a breakthrough to the Rule Integration Realm under those circumstances, he naturally needed to find a place to properly stabilize his condition.

Wei Hongyuan bowed respectfully to Chen Fei, then turned and left.

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered slightly, and then a smile appeared on his lips as he turned to leave the city lord’s mansion.

Chen Fei wondered why he had not reported Sun Guangyuan in front of the Emperor.

Without proof, it would just be idle speculation.

That day in Pushan City, Sun Guangyuan had not made a move against Chen Fei, and there were no witnesses or evidence; relying solely on an uncharacteristic token proved nothing.

After all, Sun Guangyuan was a mid-stage Rule Integration Realm powerhouse and had made visible contributions to the human race over the years.

Aside from his high talent, Chen Fei’s contributions to the human race were far less significant than those of Sun Guangyuan.
