“Tianhui Stone?” Feng Xiupu looked at the spirit material in Chen Fei’s hand, somewhat surprised.

This level of spirit material, when used for forging a spirit sword, could significantly improve the quality of the sword. In all the years Immortal Cloud City had existed, Tianhui Stones of this level had rarely appeared.

Feng Xiupu hadn’t expected that such a valuable item existed within this Mysterious City. What was even more surprising was that in just a short moment, Chen Fei’s doppelganger had obtained this high-grade spirit material.

Feng Xiupu glanced at the shops on both sides of the street but ultimately shook his head, choosing not to take any action.

Chen Fei’s success here was undoubtedly due to his previous visit to this place. Feng Xiupu knew nothing about this place, and even if he sent his doppelganger on an adventure, he would likely come back empty-handed.

Feng Xiupu had long outgrown the impulsive urge to rush towards something just because others had obtained a valuable item.

The entire team moved through the city, almost dividing it into two halves. This was probably the largest influx of humans the city had ever seen, but it was also the most stifling experience.

Chen Fei followed at the tail end of the group, choosing not to use his doppelganger to take advantage of other shops.

Occasionally indulging in such activities was fine, but if he kept using his doppelganger to take advantage of opportunities, he might eventually attract unwanted attention from the city’s inhabitants.

This Mysterious City was already on the verge of bursting, and Chen Fei’s repeated risky actions might get him thrown out if something went wrong later.

The possibility was not very high, but Chen Fei didn’t want to play such a dangerous game with his life.

There were plenty of spiritual materials in the world, and one’s strength determined how much they could obtain.

If Chen Fei truly coveted the treasures within this Mysterious City, he could wait until his own strength improved significantly. Perhaps, by then, he would have the power to dominate the entire city without anyone daring to object.

The group was moving quickly, and the people at the front had already left the city gates. Chen Fei could see the sinister soldiers standing at both ends of the city gates, their icy gazes fixed on the pa.s.sing figures. They remained motionless, but their chilling aura permeated the surroundings, almost freezing the entire city gate.

Facing these sinister soldiers, even someone like Si Yuanhai, a member of the Resisting Evil lineage, didn’t spare them a second glance. The Defeng couple kept their heads down and hurried past the soldiers.

Feng Xiupu sensed the aura of the sinister soldiers from a distance and his expression grew serious.

Before, when Feng Xiupu had observed the peculiarities of the shops on both sides of the street, the impact had not been very clear. But now, as he saw these sinister soldiers, Feng Xiupu immediately realized the struggle for survival faced by the group when they were trapped inside the Mysterious City.

Feng Xiupu tried to put himself in their shoes and understood that they had no means of resistance against these sinister soldiers.

In such a situation, Chen Fei had somehow managed to escape the Mysterious City with two people in tow. Moreover, his condition at that time had seemed quite normal, and his aura even appeared stronger than before entering the city.

While others faced life-threatening situations in the Mysterious City, Chen Fei not only escaped unscathed but also increased his cultivation. Back then, Feng Xiupu had found it incredibly puzzling, and now, looking at the scene within the Mysterious City, it was far beyond anything that mere puzzlement could explain.

Chen Fei gave Feng Xiupu a curious look, wondering why his master was glancing at him so frequently.

With a hint of a smile, Feng Xiupu responded to Chen Fei’s questioning gaze but offered no explanation.

Not receiving a direct response, Chen Fei continued to observe the entire Mysterious City, especially the sinister soldiers. He paid the closest attention to the chilling aura emanating from them.

When he was at the Initial Aperture Tempering realm, Chen Fei had been powerless against these sinister soldiers. They had been insurmountable obstacles for him, especially given their sheer numbers.

However, as he looked at these sinister soldiers now, Chen Fei realized that he should be able to easily defeat them. Despite their elusive nature and the various ways they attacked, based on what Chen Fei observed, these sinister soldiers were fundamentally weaker than the Tier-2 Evils in the Strange Heart Realm.

In fact, in terms of sheer madness at their core, the Tier-2 Evils in the Strange Heart Realm surpa.s.sed these sinister soldiers by far.

This only meant that as Chen Fei’s own cultivation improved, many seemingly insurmountable ent.i.ties from before now had numerous methods to be dealt with.

When you feel there’s something you can’t overcome, the biggest reason is that your own strength isn’t sufficient yet, and you haven’t reached that level.

Just like when Yu Zhongxin, sent by the Yu family explored the Mysterious City. Yu Zhongxin didn’t encounter too many dangers within the city due to the difference in strength, which led to significant disparities in their experiences. Before the city gate, Chen Fei turned to look at the Mysterious City, especially the central area. According to the Star Gazing Art, that place belonged to the core of the Mysterious City. Whether it was his first visit to the city or this time pa.s.sing through, Chen Fei hadn’t had a chance to witness the scene there.

A mysterious emotion flickered in Chen Fei’s eyes. Following in Feng Xiupu’s footsteps, he stepped out of the city gate.

As the world spun around him, the chilling sensation that had surrounded him moments ago rapidly dissipated.

With the pinnacle-level mental state of the Aperture Tempering realm, Chen Fei quickly opened his eyes and found himself standing at the edge of a ma.s.sive cliff. In front of him stretched an Boundless Sea.

“Rumble!”

The sound of colossal waves cras.h.i.+ng filled the air, accompanied by the salty, fishy scent a.s.saulting his nostrils.

While it had been a clear and sunny day in Immortal Cloud City, the weather here was gloomy, and the sea breeze was incredibly fierce, as if it could lift a person into the air.

But all of this was insignificant at the moment. Chen Fei stood there, and the first profound sensation that struck him was the essence of heaven and earth.

The essence of heaven and earth here was unexpectedly richer than in the Tier-2 Secret Realm. Not only was it richer, but Chen Fei also sensed a certain liveliness within the essence of heaven and earth.

It wasn’t that the essence of heaven and earth in Immortal Cloud City was lifeless. If it were truly lifeless, it would be impossible for anyone to cultivate, let alone break through to the Aperture Tempering realm or even the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

However, compared to Immortal Cloud City, the essence of heaven and earth here had an additional and inexplicable sense of liveliness.

It was somewhat reminiscent of the time when Chen Fei experienced the Elemental Tide in the Imperial City. There were certain similarities between the two experiences.

Under this kind of essence of heaven and earth, even ordinary people who were not martial pract.i.tioners would see a significant improvement in their physical qualities. For martial pract.i.tioners, the effect would be even more p.r.o.nounced.

Martial pract.i.tioners in the Body Tempering realm could complete the body refinement stage in a shorter amount of time, and there was no need to worry about the stability of their foundation; it would undoubtedly be solid.

Moreover, thanks to the liveliness of the essence of heaven and earth, the difficulty of opening the first Aperture would decrease for those aspiring to advance from the Body Tempering realm to the Aperture Tempering realm.

Even for martial pract.i.tioners in the Aperture Tempering realm, their daily cultivation speed would greatly increase.

While Immortal Cloud City had originally been considered a place of rich elemental energy within the empire, compared to this place, it seemed to have transformed into a barren land.

Chen Fei sensed the change in the essence of heaven and earth, and naturally, the others did too.

Especially the members of the Yu family, their apertures were interacting with the essence of heaven and earth, and many of them displayed a hint of nostalgia on their faces.

Having lived in the Boundless Sea for so many years, Immortal Cloud City had felt somewhat confining to them. There was even a strange sense of restraint a.s.sociated with it.

Now, returning to the Boundless Sea, there was a strange feeling of regaining something lost.

So, this is the Boundless Sea? The essence of heaven and earth is truly different here!” Tong Zhongqiu floated in mid-air, feeling the changes in the elemental energy, and his eyes were filled with astonishment. For those in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, any slight change in the essence of heaven and earth could be clearly sensed.

However, the contrast between the elemental energy in the Boundless Sea and Immortal Cloud City was not a slight change but a profound transformation.

“This place is already considered remote. After this, Brother Tong, follow me to the Thousand Feather Alliance. The essence of heaven and earth there is truly something else,” Yu Shoucheng said with a smile on his face. With the comparison to the Boundless Sea, Yu Shoucheng didn’t have many thoughts about Immortal Cloud City.

Having experienced true prosperity, the Yu family didn’t care much about the small Immortal Cloud City.

In Yu Shoucheng’s heart, going to Immortal Cloud City was just a temporary choice for the Yu family. The roots of the Yu family were undoubtedly in the Boundless Sea. Only in the Boundless Sea could the Yu family continue to grow and thrive.

“In the days to come, I’ll continue to trouble Brother Yu,” Tong Zhongqiu said to Yu Shoucheng, bowing slightly to show his respect.

“Mutual a.s.sistance is what we’re here for. Brother Tong, you’re too polite,” Yu Shoucheng waved his hand, wearing a smile.

Everyone began descending the cliff, each seeking shelter in caves to s.h.i.+eld themselves from the wind and rain.

With this weather and these turbulent waves, it was clear that going out to sea was impossible. Even the martial pract.i.tioners in the Aperture Tempering realm would likely lose their way in such conditions, let alone those in the Body Tempering realm.

Only those in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm could ride the skies and be unafraid of these storms.

But there were only two Combined Aperture Tempering realm pract.i.tioners here, and it wasn’t feasible to leave the rest of the people stranded on this island to fend for themselves.

According to the Yu family, the current weather would last for a maximum of three days, after which it would calm down, and they could proceed to the Thousand Feather Alliance.

“Boom!”

On the cliff, Tong Zhongqiu and Yu Shoucheng were working together to change the position of the Mysterious City’s gate, effectively forcing open the pa.s.sage leading to the Boundless Sea.

This kind of destruction wouldn’t make the pa.s.sage between Immortal Cloud City and the Boundless Sea disappear. In fact, even without this Mysterious City, the pa.s.sage had already fully formed.

The pa.s.sage couldn’t be destroyed, but it could be temporarily prevented from opening.

Tong Zhongqiu and Yu Shoucheng’s actions were aimed at delaying Jian Jinsheng’s arrival for the time being.

It wouldn’t take too long, perhaps just ten days to half a month, for the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect to firmly establish itself within the Thousand Feather Alliance. Jian Jinsheng’s attempts to destroy the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect with his own strength wouldn’t be that easy..
