Chapter 434: Where Did You Come From?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Yan Zesong’s lips curled slightly, daring to venture to the eighth floor of the Enlightenment Tower. It truly showed his fearlessness in the face of ignorance.

The pressure on the seventh floor of the Enlightenment Tower required even him to concentrate fully to maintain his best deductive abilities. Any slackness would lead to the tower’s pressure encroaching on his apertures and mental state, greatly reducing efficiency.

As for the eighth floor of the Enlightenment Tower, Yan Zesong had been there, but he came down voluntarily after just a moment. The pressure there was not something a normal Aperture Tempering realm cultivator could withstand; it was specifically designed for the Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts.

Yan Zesong’s eyes closed again. He knew that in a matter of moments, that person would willingly come down.

Chen Pel was unaware of Yan Zesong’s thoughts. At this moment, Chen Fei had just stepped onto the eighth floor, feeling a sudden weight on his body as pressure surged from all directions.

Compared to the seventh floor of the Enlightenment Tower, the pressure on the eighth floor instantly increased several times over.

The pressure on the seventh floor of the Enlightenment Tower was already immense, and this additional pressure, if not handled with care, could even damage his apertures and mental state directly.

The elemental force under Chen Fei’s skin trembled incessantly, and both the Suppressing Dragon Elephant and the Spirit Suppression were activated simultaneously, counteracting the pervasive pressure from the Enlightenment Tower one by one.

After just a moment, Chen Fei gradually adapted to the pressure around him, and his posture straightened.

Exhaling a breath, Chen Fei’s expression relaxed slightly.

Looking around, the eighth floor of the Enlightenment Tower was deserted. Chen Fei took step by step towards the center of the eighth floor and sat down cross-legged.

Chen Fei’s thoughts gradually focused as information about the Primordial Sword Body’s cultivation method began to appear in his sea of consciousness, starting from the Dirty Refinement Realm all the way to the early stages of the Acupuncture Refinement Realm.

Every step and detail of the Primordial Sword Body’s cultivation process flashed through Chen Fei’s mind, and then he began to deduce the subsequent parts of the Primordial Sword Body.

Right from the start of this deduction, Chen Fei immediately felt the magic of the Enlightenment Tower. The all-pervading pressure seemed to be squeezing out Chen Fei’s own potential, and various thoughts about the Primordial Sword Body emerged in his sea of consciousness.

Chen Fei had tried deducing the Primordial Sword Body in the past, and while he made progress, the efficiency was not particularly high.

However, inside the Enlightenment Tower at this moment, the eruption of these inspirations seemed to be accelerated. Correct and incorrect thoughts alike were whirling in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness.

These thoughts verified and contradicted each other, and then a correct line of thinking gradually emerged in this intense collision.

This feeling was quite extraordinary, much like the collision of insights, sharing a striking similarity. However, when it came down to the details, there were many differences.

The collision of insights allowed you to gradually unlock the previously incomprehensible aspects of a cultivation method and gain a deeper understanding of the creator’s thoughts behind the technique, using an approach that closely connected you to the essence of the technique, enabling rapid comprehension.

At this moment, inside the Enlightenment Tower, it was as if something was being created from nothing. Building upon the foundation of the Primordial Sword Body’s practice, Chen Fei continued to progress backward.

In the past, Chen Fei was feeling his way across like crossing a river with his eyes closed, not knowing if he was heading in the right direction. But today, it felt like he had a torch in his hand, illuminating the path ahead.

With each step forward, the darkness ahead was automatically lit up by the torch’s light. There was no need to worry about running out of ideas; the ideas were flowing freely in his sea of consciousness, debating with each other.

A faint smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face. This trip to the Enlightenment Tower was the right decision. At the current pace, completing the Primordial Sword Body was only a matter of time.

Looking at the progress, it wouldn’t take too long.

In fact, half a year ago, when the Primordial Sword Sect and the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect went their separate ways in the Boundless Sea, Qu Qingsheng had privately inquired with the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect about the Primordial Sword Body.

They had already reached the Boundless Sea, and the events in Immortal Cloud City had become a thing of the past.

Qu Qingsheng hoped that if the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect truly possessed the complete Primordial Sword Body, they could return it to the Primordial Sword Sect. In that case, all seven gates of the Primordial Sword Canon would be reclaimed.

However, the result of Qu Qingsheng’s inquiry was far from satisfactory.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect did not admit to having the complete Primordial Sword Body. What was returned to the Primordial Sword Sect originally was all they had in their possession.

Qu Qjngsheng felt disappointed in his heart. Although he suspected that the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was lying, he had no evidence. Or perhaps, even if there was evidence, Qu Qingsheng wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had been forced to leave Immortal Cloud City because of the overwhelming power of the Divine Flame Sect, not necessarily because the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had weakened to a certain extent.

Compared to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, the Primordial Sword Sect was much weaker.

If you are a weaker party, you must have the awareness of being weak. When the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect claimed not to have the Primordial Sword Body, it was indeed true.

Whether it existed or not, it didn’t matter.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was not like the Sword Return Tower. The Sword Return Tower had taken the Primordial Sword Sect’s techniques, and the two sides were locked in a bitter feud. That was because the Primordial Sword Sect and the Sword Return Tower were evenly matched in strength, which allowed them to continue their relentless conflict.

If the Primordial Sword Sect were to engage in relentless conflict with the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect now, it would be the Primordial Sword Sect that suffered casualties, and the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect would not incur any losses.

It was harsh, but it was also extremely real. Everything relied on one’s own strength, while everything else was just falsehood.

Chen Fei had been prepared for this outcome when he heard about the situation with the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, and he had prepared several contingency plans.

Now, inside the Enlightenment Tower, the seventh floor to be precise, Yan Zesong suddenly furrowed his brows and opened his eyes.

The deductive power provided by the Enlightenment Tower was gradually diminishing, or to put it another way, the surrounding pressure was weakening.

Yan Zesong had been to the Enlightenment Tower many times, and this situation often occurred when Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts entered the tower. The primary power of the Enlightenment Tower would be used by those Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts.

The Enlightenment Tower was a spiritual treasure, but even spiritual treasures had their limits. This ability to grant deductive power to others consumed the Enlightenment Tower’s own energy.

Of course, it didn’t mean that with so many people, they would completely deplete the tower’s power. It was a mechanism of the Enlightenment Tower to provide deductive abilities using its spare energy.

The total sum of the Enlightenment Tower’s spare energy remained constant, so if some people used more, others naturally used less.

At this moment, Yan Zesong felt that he could borrow less of the Enlightenment Tower’s power than he did initially. At first, the reduction was not very noticeable, but as time passed, the borrowed power continued to decrease.

Yan Zesong looked puzzled. He hadn’t sensed any Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts passing through the seventh floor just now, and before he had arrived, there were no Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts in the tower.

He glanced up at the staircase leading to the eighth floor and suddenly remembered that the person he had seen earlier had not come down from the eighth floor.

Yan Zesong had been deeply immersed in his deductions and had completely forgotten about Chen Fei’s presence until now.

Yan Zesong’s brows furrowed slightly, and a strange conjecture crossed his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

The person he had seen earlier had only cultivated to the advanced Aperture Tempering realm, and practitioners with such cultivation levels typically trained in the sixth floor of the Enlightenment Tower, where the pressure corresponded to that level.

If someone could stay on the seventh floor for a while, Yan Zesong would have held them in higher regard, but the eighth floor of the Enlightenment Tower seemed somewhat exaggerated.

“Was I too engrossed just now to not sense a Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert passing by?”

Yan Zesong stood up, despite having denied his earlier thoughts. However, he couldn’t help but be curious. Was that person really on the eighth floor?

He ascended the staircase, step by step, heading towards the eighth floor of the Enlightenment Tower.

The staircase was only a few steps away, and Yan Zesong quickly arrived at the location of the eighth floor of the Enlightenment Tower.

The surging pressure pressed down on Yan Zesong’s apertures and mental state, even though he had mentally prepared himself. This pressure made him pause in his steps.

While resisting the pressure, Yan Zesong’s gaze scanned the eighth floor.

Compared to the seventh floor of the Enlightenment Tower, the eighth floor had a smaller space, and as a result, when there was a person sitting cross-legged in the middle, it was quite conspicuous.

Yan Zesong’s eyes widened slightly as he looked at Chen Fei in the center, and his mind was suddenly filled with various thoughts.

Although he had entertained this conjecture in his mind, Yan Zesong had quickly dismissed it. He hadn’t expected the most unlikely scenario to be the most real one.

A advanced Aperture Tempering realm practitioner was actually staying on the eighth floor of the Enlightenment Tower to cultivate, and it seemed like he wasn’t forcing himself at all. Because if it were forced, it would have weakened the deductive power borrowed by others from the Enlightenment Tower.

“Where did he come from?”

Yan Zesong’s mouth moved, unsure of what to say. He cast a deep look at Chen Fei and then turned to walk back to the seventh floor.

Yan Zesong suspected that Chen Fei must have some special spirit weapon, possibly even a top-grade spirit weapon, that protected his apertures and mental state, allowing him to cultivate safely on the eighth floor.

However, spirit weapons, even top-grade ones, were ultimately external objects, and using them to resist the Enlightenment Tower, a spiritual treasure of this caliber, would not be sustainable for too long.

Otherwise, the spiritual weapon’s spirit would unconsciously be damaged by the Enlightenment Tower, and that would be a true case of diminishing returns. Yan Zesong, if he had a top-grade spirit weapon, would never use it like this.

Yan Zesong returned to the seventh floor, resumed his cross-legged position, and sensed the diminishing deductive power in his sea of consciousness. He wasn’t in a hurry, as he knew that in a little while, the power of the Enlightenment Tower would return to normal.

At this moment, not only Yan Zesong sensed that the deductive power he borrowed from the Enlightenment Tower was weakening, but also the warriors on other floors, especially the advanced Aperture Tempering realm practitioners on the sixth floor, also perceived this situation.

However, no one specifically ascended the tower to investigate the cause. In their eyes, this situation could be because Yan Zesong had gone to the eighth floor to cultivate.

As the only pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm practitioner inside the tower at the moment, only Yan Zesong had the capability to do so..
