Chapter 575: Who Are You?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon reaching the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, one underwent the Triple Expansion, also known as the Triple Transformation. Subsequently, after experiencing the Triple Entanglement, or the Hexagonal Transformation, they advanced into the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

After that, with three converging flowers atop the Combined Apertures, which is the Ninth Transformation, one can step into the pinnacle of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Within the Profound Heavenly Sword, there was a detailed record of how to elevate one's cultivation to the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Each step was meticulously planned. Following this plan diligently, it became almost inevitable for individuals like Chen Fei to cultivate to the pinnacle of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

However, this process required time; several decades were indispensable. This duration was not considered long, and by the time Chen Fei reached it, he may not have even reached a hundred years of age.

The lifespan of those in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was three hundred years. Upon reaching the pinnacle of this realm, obtaining longevity elixirs was not difficult. This meant that Chen Fei would have over two hundred years to contemplate how to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Yet, Chen Fei wished to expedite this process, hence his current forced breakthrough. However, the entire process, even without danger, could still be considered smooth as Chen Fei successfully broke through.

Nevertheless, Chen Fei did not immediately continue to compress the Combined Apertures. Such forced breakthroughs inevitably caused damage to the Combined Apertures, albeit minor and not fundamentally harmful.

But if Chen Fei were to continue forcing his breakthrough, he would only exacerbate this damage, ultimately leading to collapse.

“Resting for a few months will allow the Combined Apertures to recover fully, and then I can proceed with another breakthrough!”

Sensing the condition of his Combined Apertures, Chen Fei estimated a timeframe. Just a few months would suffice to advance further from the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. This speed, if known, would be astonishing.

However, with the assistance of the Heavenly Eye, these few months would also allow the proficiency of the Profound Heavenly Sword to advance further Chen Fei was confident in his ability to forcibly break through to the fifth stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

If he had another piece of Celestial Azure Flower or a similar spiritual object at this time, one that could directly repair and strengthen the Combined Apertures, Chen Fei would dare to forcibly break through to the fifth stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Unfortunately, such treasures were only obtained from Min Yanlu. Even within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, there was no news of anything similar being circulated.

Even if such treasures existed, even if not consumed personally, they would be internally digested rather than sold to the outside world.

Chen Fei closed his eyes, and the blood light reappeared in the cultivation chamber. The insights of the three martial arts collided once again in his sea of consciousness, then were absorbed one by one by Chen Fei.

Several third-grade superior pills flew out from the medicine bottle and entered Chen Fei's mouth, transforming into pure medicinal power that permeated his body.

During the few months of repairing the Combined Apertures, Chen Fei would still practice elemental energy cultivation in the normal manner. Not only would this accelerate the repair of the Combined Apertures, but it would also enhance his cultivation to some extent.

Forced breakthroughs also require a foundation. The closer one is to the breakthrough, the lower the difficulty will be.

Although Chen Fei was confident in his ability to force a breakthrough, he didn't mind lowering the difficulty a bit more.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed, during which Chen Fei remained in the cultivation chamber, diligently practicing. During this time, Tong Linyun visited once. In Chen Fei's cultivation chamber, the two discussed their insights on cultivation for two hours.

As the grass grew and the eagles soared, and the clear springs flowed, the elemental energy in the cultivation chamber remained in a rhythmic ' oscillation, never calming down.

In the end, Tong Linyun felt that she had gained a lot and left satisfied. However, she couldn't quite keep up with Chen Fei's pace, which ultimately led to her running out of energy and leaving Chen Fei's cultivation chamber early, agreeing to meet again next time.

The residence of the Eternal Spring Sect.

Zong Zhengren carefully handed over the information he had collected over the past few days to Liu Wanggu. Liu Wanggu looked at the jade slip in his hand and, after a moment, lifted his head to gaze at Zong Zhengren.

Are these all the activities and movements of Shizhen since he arrived in Sea Dominion City?” Liu Wanggu asked expressionlessly.

“Yes, I've verified it multiple times, and there are no mistakes!” Zong Zhengren hurriedly replied.

To ensure the accuracy of the information, Zong Zhengren had not closed his eyes for the past few days, spending all his time on this matter. For many slightly unclear pieces of information, Zong Zhengren had to ask repeatedly until the information was complete.

Zong Zhengren understood that if he didn't handle this matter well, Liu

Wanggu would not just lightly punish him as he did a few days ago.'

Even though Zong Zhengren was at the pinnacle of cultivation in the Eternal Spring Sect, his status seemed lofty, but in the eyes of those in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, he was not irreplaceable.

Within the Eternal Spring Sect, there were many practitioners at the pinnacle of cultivation, and the nature of the sect's techniques meant that as long as there were enough excellent furnaces and cauldrons, cultivation speed would be very fast.

Therefore, even if the Eternal Spring Sect lost a practitioner like Zong Zhengren at the pinnacle of cultivation, it would only suffer some losses, nothing more, and it wouldn't cause any significant waves.

Naturally, Liu Wanggu wouldn't directly kill Zong Zhengren. However, as the true authority figure in the Eternal Spring Sect, Liu Wanggu had numerous methods to deal with a practitioner at Zong Zhengren's level, and none would arouse any suspicion.

Zong Zhengren understood this point, which was why he was desperate to handle the matter well.

Liu Wanggu remained silent, continuously dissecting the information in the jade slip in his mind, searching for suspicious individuals.

Based solely on the information in the jade slip, Shizhen seemed to be very honest within Sea Dominion City, which was also something Liu Wanggu had warned him about in advance.

There were too many powerful individuals here, and one never knew who they might offend or what kind of background they might have.

Shizhen had obviously taken this warning to heart and executed it well However, despite his efforts, he still ended up dead, killed by the sea demons.

Liu Wanggu selected a few suspicious individuals in his mind, and in the next moment, he disappeared from the spot.

Seeing Liu Wanggu disappear, Zong Zhengren felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders. He had managed to save half of his life. As for the other half, it now depended solely on Liu Wanggu's mood.

If Liu Wanggu was in a good mood, Zong Zhengren would be safe and sound.

But if Liu Wanggu was in a bad mood, Zong Zhengren would still have reason to fear for his life.

This is the most helpless aspect of being weak in the face of the strong Even if you do everything right, the ultimate outcome is still not up to you, but up to others.

And when others determine your fate, sometimes it's entirely based on their mood. Whether or not they decide your fate depends on whether they feel like it, and it's only loosely related to how well you handle things.

Liu Wanggu stood on a courtyard wall, looking down at a person below from a position of superiority.

At this moment, Liu Wanggu seemed to blend with the courtyard wall, clearly standing there, yet the people inside the courtyard seemed to overlook his presence.

Liu Wanggu wasn't using invisibility, and his Combined Aperture Tempering realm aura was present, but he directly masked his presence from the perception of everyone in the courtyard, causing them to subconsciously ignore Liu Wanggu's existence.

With Shizhen's death, Liu Wanggu would certainly have to find an answer.

Among Liu Wanggu's many descendants, Shizhen was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding. He could have stayed within the Eternal Spring Sect this time, but Liu Wanggu ultimately decided to bring him along.

Breaking through from the cultivation realm to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was extremely difficult. Even though the techniques of the Eternal Spring Sect might offer some shortcuts, they only slightly lowered the difficulty.

In a high-pressure environment like Sea Dominion City, it was possible to stimulate a warrior's potential, enabling them to advance further.

Liu Wanggu had considered that Shizhen might be in danger, even facing death directly, but he refused to believe that Shizhen had died in such a manner.

After observing for a moment from the courtyard wall, Liu Wanggu disappeared.

Three days later, Liu Wanggu appeared in the bustling market, steadily walking towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei was standing at the entrance of a shop when he seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at Liu Wanggu.

Liu Wanggu's gaze pierced directly at Chen Fei, filled with coldness.

“Are you Chen Fei from the Primordial Sword Sect?” Liu Wanggu approached

Chen Fei, his mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm aura enveloping

Chen Fei.                         6

“Yes, may I ask who you are?” Chen Fei nodded.

“You've got some nerve, daring to harm someone from my Eternal Spring

Sect!” Liu Wanggu's voice was low and chilling, his oppressive aura spreading all around.

Some passing warriors sensed the aura and couldn't help but be astonished, all of them moving aside.

Two days ago, Liu Wanggu had visited the residence of the Primordial Sword

Sect. However, with a single glance, he saw that all of them were only at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, not even at the pinnacle.

According to the information Liu Wanggu had received, there was only one practitioner at the initial stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm in the residence of the Primordial Sword Sect, who had been in seclusion in the cultivation chamber in Sea Dominion City.

Although Shizhen had visited the residence of the Primordial Sword Sect and left shortly after, Liu Wanggu was unwilling to let go of any suspicious individuals.

To make someone like Shizhen meet his demise, the practitioner at the

Combined Aperture Tempering realm from the Primordial Sword Sect became suspicious. With suspicion arising, it was natural for Liu Wanggu to come and investigate.

Today, Liu Wanggu heard from his surveillance that Chen Fei had left the cultivation chamber, so he came directly to the market and confronted Chen Fei.

“From the Eternal Spring Sect? Sir, I think there's a misunderstanding. I've been in the cultivation chamber ever since I returned from my last mission,” Chen Fei said with a hint of surprise on his face.

Two days ago, when Liu Wanggu went to the residence of the Primordial Sword

Sect, Chen Fei's clone had already detected his presence. However, the clone pretended not to notice, and since Liu Wanggu left directly without making any moves to test the people of the Primordial Sword Sect, Chen Fei thought the matter would end there.

After all, Shizhen had only briefly visited the residence of the Primordial Sword

Sect, so the suspicion against the sect should have been minimal.

Chen Fei didn't expect Liu Wanggu to come and make such a scene.

“Dare to act but not to admit it? You should have known that one day you would face the consequences for harming someone from my Eternal Spring Sect!” Liu Wanggu leaned forward slightly, his elemental energy fluctuating as if he might strike at any moment.

“Chen Fei, what's going on?” Suddenly, a voice sounded nearby. Tong Linyun emerged from a shop and stood beside Chen Fei.

Upon seeing Tong Linyun suddenly appear, Liu Wanggu sensed her mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivation and furrowed his brow.

Chen Fei actually had a friend at the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm? Especially considering the way Tong Linyun had looked at Chen Fei just now, Liu Wanggu could clearly see that their relationship was probably not ordinary.

“This senior is asking about something,” Chen Fei said to Tong Linyun with a soft smile.

Tong Linyun glanced at Liu Wanggu, her eyes showing a hint of amusement.

Tong Linyun had clearly sensed Liu Wanggu's arrogant demeanor just now. While being at the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was respectable, Tong Linyun herself was at the same level.

But who was Chen Fei? Within a single day, he had slain five practitioners at the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.. Liu Wanggu, what significance did you hold compared to that?
