Chapter 290 - 290: Limit



The Primordial Sword Scripture, the pinnacle technique of the Primordial Sword Sect that once dominated all directions, integrating the legacies of the Four Peaks and Three Veins. As the head of the Primordial Sword Sect, Qu Qingsheng naturally wished to retrieve this scripture.

Due to the loss of this technique, the strongest technique that the Primordial Sword Sect currently possesses can only be cultivated up to 80 acupoints, which is the late Aperture Tempering realm.

Although it can’t be considered the weakest in the late Aperture Tempering realm, it’s far from being exceptionally strong. Therefore, for many years, the cutting-edge combat strength of the Primordial Sword Sect has remained in a rather awkward state.

Neither too high nor too low: above them, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect has several legacies that far surpass the Primordial Sword Sect, and below them, they used to be stronger than the majority of wandering cultivators.

However, with the ongoing conflict between the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Divine Flame Sect, the techniques they now bring out are stronger than those of the Primordial Sword Sect.

What currently gives the Primordial Sword Sect a slight advantage is the inclusion of the Soaring Heaven Technique, which can be used in conjunction with the other two legacies, making them appear less awkward.

“Master, the Primordial Sword Scripture in this inheritance stone is damaged. Only the cultivation methods of the first two layers and a part of the third layer are intact,” Chen Fei explained as he looked at Qu Qingsheng, who was becoming increasingly excited.

“Damaged, you say? Well, that’s quite normal.” Qu Qingsheng regained some composure upon hearing Chen Fei’s words.

Taking the inheritance stone from Chen Fei’s hand, Qu Qingsheng looked at him and said, “I wonder if there have been any alterations to this Primordial Sword Scripture. You shouldn’t cultivate it for now. Wait until 1 and a few elders have verified it, and then you can start cultivating.”

“Understood!” Chen Fei replied with a respectful nod.

The Primordial Sword Scripture wasn’t a method for opening acupoints; instead, it was a series of techniques that linked seven different techniques from the Primordial Sword Sect. Therefore, verifying it was not particularly difficult for the members of the Primordial Sword Sect.

This set of Primordial Sword Scripture is incredibly precious to the Primordial Sword Sect. For other sects, its value is considerably lower, at most offering some theoretical insights.

As a reward, the sect gave Chen Fei a hundred elemental stones and a spirit-refining stone.

Elemental stones, needless to say, are highly versatile, serving both personal cultivation and the purchase of spirit pills. The spirit-refining stone, on the other hand, is used for enhancing spiritual weapons.

Currently, Chen Fei’s Qianyuan Sword is classified as a low-grade spiritual weapon. To further enhance it, he needs to continuously smelt spiritual materials into it. The spirit-refining stone can augment the power of the Qianyuan Sword.

Compared to the value of the Primordial Sword Scripture, these two rewards may seem somewhat ordinary, but they still represent a significant gesture of goodwill from the sect.

Unlike the mighty Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, the Primordial Sword Sect doesn’t have a substantial monthly income. Most of their resources are things that the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect doesn’t find valuable, and the Primordial Sword Sect must also compete with other sects for these resources.

Contributions and similar measures don’t hold much significance for Chen Fei, who has already reached the Aperture Tempering realm. Only elemental stones, spirit pills, and spiritual materials hold real value for him.

Furthermore, Chen Fei, as a member of the Primordial Sword Sect, contributes to the sect, creating a mutually beneficial relationship where rewards don’t fully capture the dynamics between the two parties.

This is quite different from when Chen Fei was just a Body Refining realm disciple.

After leaving the main hall, Chen Fei sought out Feng Xiupu and informed him about the Primordial Sword Scripture. Feng Xiupu’s expression filled with excitement upon hearing this news.

The greatest significance of the Primordial Sword Scripture lies in its applicability to the sect’s senior elders who have reached the late Aperture Tempering realm.

At this stage, they have already cultivated the Zhongyuan Sword or the Giant Spirit Sword to perfection. With no further room for advancement, the Primordial Sword Scripture, by merging these two sword techniques, is likely to increase the number of acupoints they can cultivate.

Not only will their cultivation improve, but the combined power of these two sword techniques will also see a significant increase. Additionally, their chances of breaking through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm will also be considerably enhanced.

Conversely, for those in the late Aperture Tempering realm and below, the significance is somewhat diminished. After all, human energy is limited, and those in the early and mid Aperture Tempering realm haven’t fully comprehended their original sword techniques. At this point, splitting their focus between Primordial Sword Scripture and another sword technique would strain their energy.

At most, they can cultivate the Primordial Sword Scripture up to the second level and merge it with the Soaring Heaven Technique, which would still boost their strength considerably. However, the Soaring Heaven Technique is originally not conflicting with the other two sword techniques. Even when combined, the effect is not as pronounced as merging the Zhongyuan Sword and the Giant Spirit Sword.

After leaving Feng Xiupu, Chen Fei returned to his private chamber.

“Discover a technique, would you like to spend ten elemental stones to simplify the Primordial Sword Scripture (Incomplete)?”

“Simplifying the Primordial Sword Scripture (Incomplete)… Simplification successful… Primordial Sword Scripture (Incomplete) —> Zhongyuan Sword!”

Simplifying the incomplete Primordial Sword Scripture cost almost as much as the complete Zhongyuan Sword and the Soaring Heaven Technique techniques combined. Fortunately, Chen Fei had enough elemental stones to afford this simplification.

To ensure that the simplification leaned towards the Zhongyuan Sword, Chen Fei deliberately allowed the two techniques to merge briefly before initiating the simplification. This prevented it from deviating towards a different outcome, like the Great Thunder Sword, which would have been problematic.

Thankfully, the simplification process went smoothly. Chen Fei then tried cultivating the Body Refining version of the Zhongyuan Sword and was pleasantly surprised. Two realizations emerged in his sea of consciousness: one was the understanding of the Aperture Tempering version of Zhongyuan Sword, and the other was the Primordial Sword Scripture.

Getting two realizations from one cultivation session is like a buy-one-get-one-free deal. It’s quite a gain. The only slight inconvenience is the simultaneous collision of the two realizations in his sea of consciousness, which can sometimes confuse Chen Fei.

Fortunately, since both techniques originate from the same source, it won’t truly lead to any mental instability.

Chen Fei is now waiting to reach the second level of the Primordial Sword Scripture before starting to learn the Giant Spirit Sword technique.

The first level of the Primordial Sword Scripture forms the foundation for integrating the second technique into the body, so simultaneous cultivation is not heavily affected, similar to how the Zhongyuan Sword and the Soaring Heaven technique coexist.

However, it’s only at the second level that he can truly fuse the second technique into his body to enhance his combat abilities. Without the Primordial Sword Scripture, trying to simultaneously cultivate both the Giant Spirit Sword and the Zhongyuan Sword would be detrimental to his physical body, potentially causing damage to his Aperture Tempering realm and hindering his progress.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Fei moved back to Immortal Cloud City. During this month, the most talked-about topic in Immortal Cloud City was the situation with the Long Rainbow Sect. Their betrayal had been exposed, and Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had devised a plan to eliminate them, resulting in the deaths of over a dozen Aperture Tempering realm cultivators from the Divine Flame Sect.

The duel between Jian Jingsheng and Tong Zhongqiu had ended without a clear winner, as both had their reservations and hadn’t gone all out.

The Long Rainbow Sect was now history, and due to the loss of over a dozen Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, the Divine Flame Sect had to retract its forces and couldn’t continue to pressure Immortal Cloud Sword Sect as before.

In contrast, Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had taken advantage of the situation to reclaim several resource points that had been occupied by the Divine Flame Sect. In the overall situation, they gained the upper hand.

The duel between Chen Fei and Shen Tucang had also become a topic of discussion. Both of them had broken through to the Aperture Tempering realm in recent years, leaving a lasting impression on many. Their initial draw had been memorable, and now, with another contest, Chen Fei’s victory had surprised many.

After all, once you reach the Aperture Tempering realm, besides innate talent and comprehension, the quantity and quality of your cultivation resources become crucial factors. Many people are aware of the current situation in the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.

They didn’t expect that under these circumstances, Chen Fei could still surpass Shen Tucang. Clearly, in terms of innate talent and comprehension, Chen Fei had the upper hand.

However, with the passage of time, it’s likely that the balance will eventually tilt in Shen Tucang’s favor. This is the reality because there’s no comparison between the strength of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Primordial Sword Sect.

Many even lamented that Chen Fei wasn’t a disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly be among the rising stars of the sect. Unfortunately, Chen Fei belonged to the Primordial Sword Sect.

Since the incident with the Changhong Sect, the Primordial Sword Sect had intentionally increased Chen Fei’s monthly resources. Previously, he received one Elemental Stone and one Spirit Snow Pill per month, but now it had become two Elemental Stones and two Spirit Snow Pills per month.

This change had been advocated and ultimately approved by Qu Qingsheng. Qu Qingsheng understood Chen Fei’s potential, and the duel with Shen Tucang had showcased it to the other elders. Combined with the return of the Primordial Sword Scripture, this decision had been agreed upon.

In group settings, it’s not about quantity but about fairness, meaning that Chen Fei’s displayed talent and contributions were essential for this decision to be approved.

Compared to the benefits from the Alchemist Alliance, what the Primordial Sword Sect provided wasn’t much. However, it was the sect’s attitude, and Chen Fei naturally accepted it.

During this month, Chen Fei refined pills during the day and practiced various techniques at night. Due to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s favorable position in the current situation and their own resource reserves, there had been a reduction in commissioned tasks within the alliance.

Chen Fei had expected this situation, as even a large sect like the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect couldn’t sustain continuous large-scale production of pills.

If there had been a sustainable resource level like this, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect would have done it directly in the past, rather than waiting until now. The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect is currently depleting its stockpile, aiming to quickly raise the cultivation levels of its disciples.

According to Chen Fei’s estimation, as time passes, the number of alchemy tasks within the alliance will gradually decrease, stabilizing at a level slightly higher than normal, perhaps by twenty to thirty percent.

Chen Fei was prepared for this, and with the rewards he had recently received, he opened two more acupoints, reaching a total of fifteen.

He had already made significant progress in the early stages of the Aperture Tempering realm, nearing the halfway point. And all of this had taken less than two years, an efficiency that was almost unimaginable.

At the same time, he had completed the first level of the Primordial Sword Scripture and had recently gone to the inheritance ground to acquire the techniques of the Giant Spirit Sword.

The simplification of the Giant Spirit Sword cost Chen Fei ten Elemental Stones, and the result was an increased burden on his body. Chen Fei tried it out, using the force field of the Zhongyuan Sword to press down on himself.

After experimenting for a while, Chen Fei found that the heavier the physical burden, the more insights he gained about the Giant Spirit Sword in his mind.

This discovery led Chen Fei to immediately put himself under the force field of maximum weight, pushing himself to the limit..
