Three hours later, Chen Fei returned to the inside of the city wall. On the appraisal jade ruler, he gained an additional two points of contribution.

It wasn’t much, as there were few solitary monsters. Chen Fei circled around the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon and saw many groups of monsters.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Currently, Chen Fei could reverse-slay a mid-Fourth-Tier monster. However, if faced with two, while he wouldn’t die, it would be impossible for him to slay both mid-Fourth-Tier monsters.

Their exaggerated self-healing abilities meant that Chen Fei couldn’t finish off one before being attacked by the other. His own chances of being seriously injured were even higher.

But Chen Fei wasn’t in a hurry. Those monsters tended to return to the Stone Forest Canyon.

Eventually, they would scatter, and single monsters would inevitably appear.

Leaving the Black Divine Barrier, Chen Fei returned to the secret chamber behind the Mission Hall to begin his daily practice.

During practice, time seemed to pass extremely quickly, almost just between opening and closing his eyes, several hours had silently slipped by.

The proficiency of the Purple Sky Stellar Sword had increased somewhat. At this rate, Chen Fei estimated it would take at least a year, perhaps even two, to advance this new technique from its current perfect state to the Great Completion realm.

The higher the level of the technique, the more proficiency it required.

The current level of the Purple Sky Stellar Sword surpassed the vast majority of techniques in the Sacred Land. In other Mountain Sea Realms, it would have taken hundreds of years, possibly, to reach its peak.

Chen Fei only needed a few years at this point, which was already an incredibly rapid pace.

However, with the Black Divine Barrier now in place, once his talent endlessly reached the Great Completion realm, Chen Fei would directly utilize the barrier to enhance the Purple Sky Stellar Sword.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Currently, the insights provided by the Black Divine Barrier every night were increasing. Of course, the contamination within them was also significantly increasing.

Even with just the naked eye, one could see the constantly wriggling black threads within those insights, sending shivers down one’s spine.

It was only beings of a higher level, like the Xuanyuan Sword Spirit, who could purify this contamination. Otherwise, anyone absorbing these insights would immediately fall into corruption.

Under the cover of night, Chen Fei once again entered the barrier.

Just as the previous night, several miles outside the city wall, Chen Fei absorbed the insights of talent Endless Regeneration once again.

After this absorption, only a tiny bit remained for talent Endless Regeneration to reach the Great Completion realm. As long as he absorbed it again the following night, talent Endless Regeneration would undoubtedly reach the Great Completion realm.

Chen Fei’s brow was faintly glowing as he walked toward the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon.

After two hours, Chen Fei returned. On the appraisal jade ruler, his contribution had increased by three points, slightly more than last night.

Moments later, Chen Fei appeared in the Mission Hall.

With seven contribution points now, Chen Fei had enough to exchange for some spiritual materials or elixirs.

Within the Mission Hall, elixirs were relatively cheaper compared to equivalent-effect spiritual materials.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The reason was simple: in the Sacred Land, some alchemists refined spiritual materials into elixirs. One main spiritual material, combined with some auxiliary materials, could produce three or four elixirs with slightly lower efficacy than the main material.

In such a scenario, the Sacred Land naturally preferred you to exchange for elixirs rather than choosing spiritual materials.

Alchemists were respected on the Middle Continent, and their status in the Sacred Land was no different. However, the Sacred Land’s resources were abundant enough to support many skilled alchemists.

Chen Fei had been proficient in alchemy back in Immortal Cloud City, but now, with the increasing need to practice various techniques, he no longer had the energy to delve into the art of alchemy.

Moreover, obtaining high-quality spiritual herbs for refining top-grade elixirs was difficult, and the difficulty of finding these auxiliary materials was only slightly lower. Gathering them was equally troublesome.

Without resources and energy, Chen Fei naturally abandoned this craft.

“Seven Purple Spirit Pills!” Chen Fei handed over the appraisal jade ruler at the counter.

The steward of the Mission Hall deducted the contribution points and handed over a jade bottle to Chen Fei.

The jade bottle was a medium-grade spiritual tool used by practitioners. Without it, the medicinal power of the Purple Spirit Pills couldn’t be contained. “Thank you!”

Chen Fei bowed to the steward of the Mission Hall and then left.

Purple Spirit Pills were specifically for use by practitioners in the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm. According to the current situation of Chen Fei’s fourth Divine Palace, approximately five Purple Spirit Pills would be enough to complete the forging of the fourth Divine Palace.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

However, Chen Fei exchanged for two extra pills, just in case he needed them during cultivation.

Returning to the secret chamber, Chen Fei continued to practice the Purple Sky Stellar Sword, awaiting the arrival of nightfall.

As time passed, while Chen Fei absorbed the insights of the Purple Sky Stellar Sword with single-minded devotion, a predetermined time point set in his mind awakened him from his insights.

Chen Fei opened his eyes, left the secret chamber, and approached the Black Divine Barrier.

At this moment, the sky had not yet fully darkened, and the distant sun cast its lingering radiance, painting the horizon in a golden hue.

Chen Fei smiled faintly and walked straight into the barrier, arriving ten miles outside the city wall.

In the past few days, the city wall had expanded considerably, and the speed of expansion was noticeably faster than before.

Clearly, the gradual changes in the Black Divine Barrier had caused a sense of anxiety among the major Sacred Lands.

Unfortunately, the specific location of the Black Divine could not be found now, and in the center of the barrier, more and more monsters were accumulating.

It was unclear whether it was because some monsters had gained enough spiritual wisdom or if it was an order from the Black Divine Barrier itself, but the monsters roaming the outskirts were gradually becoming scarce.

This made it more difficult for practitioners in other Mountain Sea Realms to slay monsters. After all, when monsters gathered in tens or even hundreds, it was an extremely terrifying situation.

Even peak practitioners in the Mountain Sea Realm had to detour when encountering such a scenario, let alone practitioners of lower cultivation levels.

Chen Fei stood still, looking up at the sky above the barrier. The black mist swirled around, and the glow of the setting sun couldn’t penetrate through. As time passed, darkness finally enveloped the entire barrier.

Chen Fei continued to practice the Purple Sky Stellar Sword while waiting for the appointed time to arrive.

Finally, the surrounding lingering souls began to grow ferocious, and then suddenly engulfed Chen Fei.

The insights of talent Endless Regeneration emerged, with thirty-six Xuanyuan Swords forming a connected array.

As the insights flowed into the Xuanyuan Swords, their blades turned as black as ink, and one could even see the frantic writhing of the black threads.

Ten of the phantom Xuanyuan Swords dissipated silently in succession as Chen Fei absorbed the last bit of insights from talent Endless Regeneration, completely assimilating them.

Inside the third Divine Palace, talent Endless Regeneration radiated dazzling brilliance before slowly settling down.

Chen Fei took out the jade bottle and swallowed all seven Purple Spirit Pills.

Chen Fei intended to directly forge the fourth Divine Palace within the Black Divine Barrier. After all, the divine power needed for forging the Divine Palace was enhanced by elixirs, and any other required natural energy could be drawn from the void using talent Endless Regeneration.

Therefore, the location of the breakthrough mattered little to Chen Fei.

The Purple Spirit Pills melted in his mouth, and the majestic medicinal power began to surge through Chen Fei’s body.

Activating the Purple Sky Stellar Sword, Chen Fei neatly organized the medicinal power and began to forge the remaining parts of the fourth Divine Palace.

The Divine Palace continued to rise, and the divine power flowed rapidly within Chen Fei’s body. After an indeterminate amount of time, Chen Fei’s body suddenly trembled slightly, and a ripple spread out in all directions from him.

The fourth Divine Palace was complete!

Chen Fei’s vision rapidly elevated, then suddenly plunged downward. The next moment, a void barrier appeared in front of him.

Teleportation, Prison Suppression, Sword Mastery, Endless Regenerations, all transformed into a sharp blade, easily opening a gap in the void barrier. Chen Fei’s soul directly stepped into the void.

Countless stars twinkled before Chen Fei’s eyes as he carried the phantoms of the four Divine Palaces and flew forward.

Finding an outstanding offensive talent was Chen Fei’s current goal.

If he couldn’t find one, Chen Fei might choose Iron Skin Bronze Bones, a talent he had been interested in for a long time but had never pursued.

Chen Fei rushed forward quickly, then his expression shifted slightly as he saw several familiar talents.

Sky Piercer, Imprisonment, both exclusive talents of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.

It seemed that the Suppressing Dragon Elephant had cultivated to the Great Completion realm, bringing these two talents very close to their starting points.

Imprisonment belonged to the category of control-type talents, while Sky Piercer, to some extent, could also be considered offensive, although it overlapped partially with the Sword Mastery talent.

They could have formed the talent technique Sword Star River Control, but it wouldn’t have been as beneficial for Chen Fei.

Without pausing, Chen Fei continued to fly forward and soon spotted the Iron Skin Bronze Bones talent.

Perhaps because of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, Iron Skin Bronze Bones was now much closer to Chen Fei, and he barely expended any soul energy at this moment.

Skipping over these clusters of talents, there was a segment of void without any clusters. For many practitioners in the Mountain Sea Realm, this had been a bottleneck, and in the void, there had been many such segments.

Only by crossing these bottlenecks could new talents be seen.

With twenty percent of his soul energy consumed, Chen Fei had seen talents such as Roar of Fury, Resilience, Swift, and Hidden Fury. Chen Fei had paused briefly on Resilience.

Last time, he had promised to choose Resilience, but it seemed Chen Fei had once again changed his mind.

If it hadn’t been for the appearance of the talent technique Sword Star River Control, Chen Fei would have truly chosen Resilience. It could only be said that fate had its own plans; Chen Fei couldn’t be blamed.

Skipping over these excellent talents, Chen Fei had encountered another segment of void with no talents present.

This segment of emptiness seemed somewhat lengthy. When Chen Fei’s soul energy consumption reached nearly forty percent, he finally saw two faint clusters of light ahead.

If no clusters appeared soon, Chen Fei would have to turn back.

However, if these two clusters couldn’t satisfy him, Chen Fei would still have to return; his soul energy wouldn’t hold up much longer.

Reaching into one of the clusters of light, the information about the talent appeared in Chen Fei’s mind.

[Divine Blessing: Increases soul protection, slow recovery from injuries]

Chen Fei was slightly surprised; it was actually a soul-based talent that enhanced soul defense, making it impervious to external influences. Even if injured, one could self-recover.

This was indeed a great talent. With this, there was confidence in burning soul energy during battles.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Fei reached into the other cluster of light.

[Adamantine Body: Utmost strength and resilience]

It wasn’t an upgraded version of Iron Skin Bronze Bones because Adamantine Body lacked self-recovery abilities. However, the increase in strength and defense far surpassed Iron Skin Bronze Bones.

Although not purely an offensive talent, with this option, there was no need for further hesitation. Chen Fei grabbed the cluster of light containing Adamantine Body and flew back towards the starting point.

What a scoop!
