Chapter 482: The Limit

“Elder Tong, did you come to see me for something else?” Chen Fei’s gaze moved away from the panel and turned to Tong Zhongqiu.

“It’s nothing major. I guessed Zhao Tianxuan would come to you to sell the Profound Slaying Sword, so I came to remind you,” Tong Zhongqiu said softly with a light smile.

Chen Fei was brought into the alliance by Tong Zhongqiu and Yu Shoucheng. Tong Zhongqiu felt that there were some things he needed to remind Chen Fei about, which is why the scene just happened.

“Thank you, Elder Tong,” Chen Fei’s expression twitched slightly as he clasped his hands.

“I was being overly cautious,” Tong Zhongqiu shook his head. Regarding the recent incident, he knew that even without his intervention, Chen Fei wouldn’t suffer any losses.

“Elder Tong, this ‘Primordial Profound Art’ manual is still good. Do you need it? I can sell it to you at a discount,” Chen Fei took out another jade slip and smiled.

Chen Fei didn’t intend to reveal the ‘Azure Sky Technique’ that he obtained from Guan Hongxuan. It wasn’t about concealing the fact that he possessed two Combined Aperture Tempering realm martial arts; it was simply because the Azure Sky Technique was slightly inferior.

After all, Guan Hongxuan was just a wandering cultivator, and unless he had extraordinary luck, the martial arts he could obtain wouldn’t be too powerful.

If Guan Hongxuan truly had that kind of luck, he wouldn’t have resorted to robbing.

After all, it was somewhat unsightly to sacrifice one’s dignity to rob something from someone at the Aperture Tempering realm.

“The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect doesn’t need this right now,” Tong Zhongqiu said with a wry smile and shook his head as he saw Chen Fei trying to promote the martial art to him.

“I apologize if I was impulsive,” Chen Fei understood the meaning behind Tong Zhongqiu’s words.

Currently, the most crucial thing for the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was to have someone break through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, take up the banner of the sect, and prevent it from falling into the hands of a fifth-tier power.

Alternatively, it was for Tong Zhongqiu to obtain longevity elixirs or spiritual materials to extend his own life for a few more decades, allowing him to wait until a suitable successor appeared for the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.

However, both of these options were not easy. Whether it was having someone in the sect break through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm or obtaining longevity elixirs and spiritual materials, they were both extremely challenging tasks.

“If you wish to sell martial arts, you can go to Sea Peak City. There are many things there that could benefit us,” Tong Zhongqiu suggested.

“Thank you for your guidance,” Chen Fei nodded.

Compared to their previous location, Haiyan City, because of its rich natural aura, attracted many Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, making Sea Peak City even more prosperous.

“No need to be so polite,” Tong Zhongqiu waved his hand.

Chen Fei smiled faintly and exchanged a few more words with Tong Zhongqiu before taking his leave.

Tong Zhongqiu watched Chen Fei’s departing figure and let out a small sigh. Even though he knew that the past couldn’t be changed, whenever he saw Chen Fei, he couldn’t help but think about how Chen Fei had wanted to join the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect all those years ago.

However, Chen Fei never even had the chance to step through the sect’s gates.

That’s just how people were; not everything could be easily dismissed from one’s thoughts, no matter how hard one tried. The Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators were still human and couldn’t avoid such feelings.

Tong Zhongqiu shook his head and turned towards the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. No matter how much he thought about it, the past couldn’t be changed. All he could do now was to spread his goodwill, and that was it.

Chen Fei flew back to the new gate of the Primordial Sword Sect. It hadn’t been even an hour since he left, but the entire sect was still in an extremely excited state.

They were satisfied and content with everything about the new gate.

Although the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Yu family had worked diligently on the gate, it wasn’t just that. The key was the sense of pride and arrogance in their hearts that had everyone’s emotions running high.

After all, the Primordial Sword Sect had been waiting for a day like this for a long time. And this day had come so quickly, faster than anyone had anticipated.

Chen Fei’s courtyard was arranged on a separate peak, where the spiritual energy was the most concentrated, and it also provided him with solitude to avoid interruptions.

Chen Fei hovered in mid-air, his consciousness sweeping through, gaining a thorough understanding of the courtyard’s layout.

Every detail in the courtyard was luxurious, yet it didn’t appear ostentatious or extravagant at first glance; instead, it had a certain understated simplicity.

However, after gazing at it for a while, one could feel a sense of comfort.

Clearly, a lot of thought had gone into the construction of this courtyard.

But Chen Fei didn’t pay much attention to these details. He landed in the courtyard, found a spot to sit cross-legged casually, and turned his attention to the exclamation marks constantly popping up on the panel.

Chen Fei focused his consciousness on them and quickly understood the meaning of the panel.

The elemental stone was worth more than five thousand low-grade elemental stones, and the panel provided a new option to purchase a new spatial grid.

Initially, Chen Fei had purchased the first spatial grid when he had two thousand silver coins. At the time, he had thought that the second spatial grid would also cost around two thousand silver coins.

Later, Chen Fei realized that he had been too naive.

No matter how many two thousand silver coins Chen Fei had accumulated later on, the panel never gave any hint about acquiring a second spatial grid. This had led Chen Fei to briefly wonder whether the panel only allowed the purchase of one spatial grid.

Or perhaps it required a whopping five thousand low-grade elemental stones to obtain the second spatial grid.

Now, the truth was revealed, and it actually required a substantial sum of five thousand low-grade elemental stones. Before coming to the Boundless Sea, Chen Fei had no idea that elemental stones could be categorized by quality.

In the dynasty he had come from, Chen Fei had only seen low-grade elemental stones. There might have been mid-grade elemental stones over there, but he hadn’t been qualified to encounter them at the time.

Chen Fei looked at the panel’s message, contemplating it for a moment.

In the Thousand Feathers Alliance, there were storage spirit tools like Qjankun Bags, but nobody at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm used them because they were quite expensive. Although they were spiritual tools, even the cheapest Qjankun Bag would cost at least one high-grade elemental stone.

As for the size, they didn’t even have one cubic meter of space, which was significantly smaller than the spatial grid provided by the panel.

Of course, compared to the panel’s spatial grid, Qjankun Bags could hold various items at will, unlike the spatial grid, where Chen Fei had found a loophole to store so many things inside.

However, every time Chen Fei stored a new item in the spatial grid, he had to summon the entire wooden cabinet, which could be somewhat troublesome.

Because ordinary Qjankun Bags had limited storage space, many frugal Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators didn’t bother to buy them. For instance, the cultivator Guan Hongxuan whom Chen Fei had slain earlier didn’t have a Qjankun Bag.

If Chen Fei had a high-grade elemental stone, his first choice wouldn’t have been a Qjankun Bag; he would have used that money to enhance his own strength.

Perhaps in the future, a kind-hearted Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator would voluntarily give one to Chen Fei?

As for using five thousand low-grade elemental stones to buy another spatial grid, Chen Fei didn’t hesitate much. Because the spatial grid was not a Qjankun Bag, the spatial grid provided by the panel was not just for storing things.

Time would stagnate inside it, and even the space within would remain stagnant, relying solely on Chen Fei’s thoughts to move it.

Such an item would be somewhat overkill if it were only used for storage. Many years ago, Chen Fei had experimented with another way to use it.

Fifty mid-grade elemental stones in Chen Fei’s hand disappeared, and in his perception, a one-cubic-meter spatial grid slowly appeared.

Chen Fei stood up, and the Qjanyuan Sword leaped into his hand, emitting a crisp sound.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered slightly, and in the next moment, he was suspended in mid-air. The aura of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm radiated from Chen Fei’s body, but he immediately reined it in.

Chen Fei’s eyes slowly closed, and he began to mobilize the power within his body.

A roar that resembled the roar of a dragon and elephant faintly emanated from within Chen Fei’s body. A streak of blood flames ignited from his body, casting a bloody red hue all around.

Even when facing the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator Guan Hongxuan, Chen Fei hadn’t gone all out like this, but now, with no one in sight, he displayed his utmost strength.

And that wasn’t all; under the Blood Ignition Technique, the temperature of Chen Fei’s body continued to rise, his heart beating faster and faster. Even the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point within his body began to tremble slightly.

He was storing power, giving it his all, and compressing his strength in a situation where there was no room for improvement, all to unleash a more powerful technique, even if it meant damaging his own body.

In actual combat, such power storage had no practical purpose; you couldn’t afford to store power like this, as the enemy’s blade would have already passed your neck several times.

But right now, Chen Fei was continually compressing his strength, all for the sake of delivering theoretically, a more powerful strike.

In the blink of an eye, a dozen breaths had passed, and the air around Chen Fei’s body was trembling continuously. Even Chen Fei’s body felt the spreading sensation of tearing.

But Chen Fei didn’t stop; he continued to push his power.

At this moment, he was on a separate mountain peak, and he deliberately concealed his aura. Otherwise, the other members of the Primordial Sword Sect would likely have turned their attention in his direction.

Unbeknownst to those who didn’t know, they might have subconsciously thought that Chen Fei had encountered an enemy.

A crack suddenly burst open on Chen Fei’s back. Given Chen Fei’s current physical resilience, his body had been put in this state due to the power storage, and it was an unprecedented occurrence.

With the appearance of one crack, more and more cracks began to appear on Chen Fei’s body. Even the terrifying regenerative power of the Dragon Elephant couldn’t compensate for these cracks at this moment.

Because the speed of destruction at this moment far exceeded the self-healing capability of the Dragon Elephant.

Suddenly, Chen Fei’s tightly closed eyes opened, and if you looked closely, you would see that his eyes were now completely blood-red.

In the next moment, Chen Fei’s right foot suddenly stepped forward in mid-air, creating ripples that emanated from the sole of his shoe. The black Qjanyuan Sword, which had long since turned black, thrust forward.

“Boom!”

As the Qjanyuan Sword moved, the air burst, creating a massive sonic boom cloud that instantly exploded.

The power generated by this strike far exceeded Chen Fei’s current conventional strength. Even if he had shattered his own Combined Aperture Tempering realm, the resulting power would probably only be slightly better than this strike.

However, before this power could completely sweep across the area, the dazzling sharpness at the tip of the Qjanyuan Sword suddenly disappeared, and the Qjanyuan Sword stopped in mid-air, motionless.

Chen Fei’s aura plummeted to its lowest point.

But an involuntary smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face as he looked at the newly opened spatial grid.

Inside the spatial grid that had been empty just moments ago, there was now something extra – the Limitless Sword Essence that had abruptly disappeared earlier. This sword essence was now quietly resting inside the spatial grid, motionless..
