Chapter 567: Transformation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A night of wind and rain, falling flowers and flowing water.

In the early morning, Tong Linyun left Chen Fei’s cultivation room with a rosy complexion. The outcome of last night, Tong Linyun’s proud defense, was ultimately broken through completely by Chen Fei.

Though not admitting defeat verbally, the result spoke for itself, it was definitely Tong Linyun who fell unconscious who lost.

Tong Linyun came to find Chen Fei for many reasons: gratitude, admiration for strength, and the strong impression of seeing Chen Fei turn the tide in desperate situations.

And now, this strong impression had one more aspect—Chen Fei’s almost inhuman physique.

Chen Fei watched Tong Linyun leave, then took out the five Qiankun Bags again and began to organize them.

Yesterday was just a rough categorization; today, Chen Fei planned to carefully examine the contents of the five Qiankun Bags one by one. Anything useless to him could be sold or given to the Primordial Sword Sect.

This whole process would take several hours. Most of the time, Chen Fei would be inspecting the various jade slips inside the Qiankun Bags.

Kang Hongdao and the other four did not place their primary cultivation methods inside the Qiankun Bags. Most martial artists didn’t, especially when it came to sect inheritance matters.

Chen Fei didn’t acquire the primary cultivation methods of the five individuals, and while it was somewhat regrettable, he didn’t feel disappointed. The Profound Heavenly Sword he currently possessed might not be the strongest technique within the Qianyu Alliance, but it was undoubtedly among the top tier.

Ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm techniques were no longer sufficient to complement the Profound Heavenly Sword.

However, Chen Fei wouldn’t cease his collection of techniques. “Stones from other mountains can be used for jade,” as the saying goes. Perhaps ordinary techniques couldn’t strengthen the Profound Heavenly Sword, but accumulating more knowledge was still beneficial in the long run.

Perhaps one day, he could integrate them with other techniques to form a new martial skill.

Just like the Mirror Image Technique he learned in Immortal Cloud City initially; it was just an ordinary mental technique. However, when combined with other mental techniques, it underwent a qualitative change.

And Chen Fei’s current Heavenly Eyes were the result of several eye techniques merging together. Individually, these eye techniques weren’t particularly remarkable, but within the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, they were indeed nothing special.

However, once fused together, they enhanced Chen Fei’s observational acuity far beyond that of ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators. They even surpassed the observational abilities of peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

After inspecting all the jade slips in the Qiankun Bags, only two remained before Chen Fei.

The other jade slips were of little help to Chen Fei at his current stage, but he could bring them back to the Primordial Sword Sect as part of the sect’s heritage.

As for these two jade slips before him, they could be considered a significant gain this time. In Chen Fei’s eyes, their value was not less than that of a middle-grade spiritual treasure, perhaps even higher.

Of course, to others, these might just be two difficult-to-cultivate techniques.

The Mirage Projection Technique! A technique for cultivating mirage projections.

Unlike the Soaring Heaven Technique Chen Fei practiced in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, this Mirage Projection Technique was significantly more ambitious in its concept. Its ultimate goal was to cultivate a true projection that could self-cultivate, indistinguishable from the original.

In other words, the projection would have its own physical body, no different from an ordinary cultivator. If the original body were to perish, the projection could seamlessly take its place, essentially granting an extra life.

This concept sounded incredibly enticing. After all, the world was exceedingly perilous, and it was difficult to predict what accidents might occur during cultivation.

Having such a projection would alleviate many worries.

However, while the Mirage Projection Technique was lofty in concept, Chen Fei discovered upon thorough reading that even if he mastered the technique to its highest realm, it wouldn’t achieve its ultimate goal.

The human body was exceedingly complex; it wasn’t as simple as recreating a physical body to perfectly mimic a person.

However, it seemed the Mirage Projection Technique was aware of this limitation, as it proposed an alternative: body snatching. By taking over the body of a dying individual, one could implant their own consciousness into their mind.

However, this approach also presented a problem. Because the physical body and the soul were not compatible, even if the soul had extremely high quality, it was difficult to predict the ultimate martial achievements that could be reached.

Perhaps one could enter the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, but when it came to the Combined Aperture Tempering fusion realm, it would likely become even more challenging, perhaps even impossible to achieve.

Furthermore, there was another crucial issue: since there were truly two physical bodies, over time, the consciousness within the projection would develop a separate identity due to its independent existence.

Though the projection might still be considered “you,” it became unclear whether it fundamentally remained so.

Even if the original consciousness occasionally synchronized with the projection’s consciousness, it was difficult to prevent this phenomenon from occurring.

It could be said that while this Mirage Projection Technique was extremely profound, its drawbacks were also significant, making its worthiness entirely subjective.

Upon seeing this technique, Chen Fei had no intention of resorting to body snatching. He simply wanted to integrate this technique with the aspects of the original Soaring Heaven Technique Projection.

The Mirage Projection was weak in strength, limited to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, unable to grow further, and currently used by Chen Fei as an elder for teaching purposes within the sect. It couldn’t stray too far from the original body, or it would dissipate.

But if this Mirage Projection were combined with the Mirage Projection Technique, perhaps a different effect could be produced.

This is the technique recorded in one of the jade slips. As for the technique within the other jade slip, it seems to be no less formidable in concept than the Mirage Projection Technique.

The Blood Refining Art! It’s a kind of body refining technique, but it differs greatly from typical body refining techniques..
