Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques - Chapter 643: Another Way

From the moment they spotted the giant palm to the shattering of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion’s formation, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

In the eyes of those at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, the seemingly unshakable formation was nothing more than trivial in the hands of those at the Mountain Sea Realm.

Chen Fei looked up at the sky, where a figure could faintly be seen. Judging from the aura of the recent attack, it was likely Master Haiyue.

“Everyone, obey my command, attack!”

With a thunderous roar, Gu Danying led the charge towards the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, followed by the other five peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts around him.

The disciples inside the Fallen Heaven Pavilion looked on, their eyes filled with confusion, as the Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts rushed towards them.

None of them participating in this extermination mission were below the Combined Aperture Tempering realm; they were all at least at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

As one of the top ten forces within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, the Fallen Heaven Pavilion’s strength was undeniable. However, no matter how strong they were, they couldn’t withstand the siege of so many Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts, let alone six peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts leading the charge.

Moreover, there was even a Mountain Sea Realm powerhouse overseeing things from above.

Since the Thousand Feathers Alliance had set their sights on the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, it seemed the fate of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion had already been sealed.

Chen Fei’s speed was neither slow nor fast, maintaining the level expected of an Initial Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert.

Ever since he discovered the Fallen Heaven Pavilion was nurturing the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul and their clandestine activities within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, Chen Fei had been filled with puzzlement.

Without a Mountain Sea Realm expert, the disruptions caused by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion wouldn’t affect the overall situation of the Thousand Feathers Alliance. Perhaps there would be some losses among the warriors of the alliance, and some talented individuals might perish as well.

But what difference would it make? Ultimately, the Thousand Feathers Alliance was still under the control of Min Yanlu and the other two.

Unless, the disruptions caused by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion would bring them significant benefits, prompting them to take such great risks to engage in these activities.

Their resistance was feeble, encountering hardly any substantial opposition. Even if Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion emerged, they would quickly find themselves surrounded by several peers.

The techniques passed down by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion were undoubtedly extraordinary, and those who could enter the pavilion for cultivation were certainly among the ranks of geniuses. However, outnumbered and facing formidable opponents from other top forces, the Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion found themselves in a precarious situation.

Thus, upon the slightest engagement, the Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion began to retreat steadily. Within just a few dozen exchanges, they would fall one by one, meeting their demise.

The Aperture Tempering realm and Body Tempering realm warriors of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion were frantically fleeing, unable to mount any decent resistance against such overwhelming force.

Most of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts had little interest in these individuals. If they were seen, they were killed without hesitation; if not, they were allowed to escape.

However, even if these warriors below the Combined Aperture Tempering realm managed to escape temporarily, they ultimately couldn’t truly get away.

At the outermost perimeter, Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts from the Thousand Feathers Alliance were stationed everywhere, capturing those who slipped through the cracks.

When it came to eradicating the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, the Thousand Feathers Alliance had truly made up their minds—no one would be spared!

Chen Fei wielded an ordinary low-grade magic treasure, casually launching a few attacks while his gaze lingered on several of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion’s restrictions.

For the Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts participating in this extermination, the most valuable assets were the pavilion’s inherited techniques and the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures it harbored.

Although many techniques were now available in the Thousand Feathers City, only a few could truly be considered transformative.

Those Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts willing to go to the Thousand Feathers City to learn techniques were confident in their abilities and were individuals who hadn’t given up on the pursuit of the martial path.

As the oldest sect within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, the Fallen Heaven Pavilion boasted a vast collection of techniques and a wide range that was well-known.

Especially their flagship techniques, which were rumored to surpass the inherited techniques of the other nine top forces in certain aspects.

Thus, the allure of the techniques within the Fallen Heaven Pavilion for the Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts present was immense.

As for the heavenly materials and earthly treasures collected by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, it went without saying that their value was simply staggering.

Even obtaining a small amount of these treasures would have been a huge gain for the Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts present.

Therefore, when they heard in the Task Hall that the Fallen Heaven Pavilion was to be eradicated, although many Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts were initially shocked, after the shock subsided, some of them were eager to try their luck.

By involving so many Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts in besieging the Thousand Feathers City, the goal of the Thousand Feathers Alliance was not only to utilize their combined strength but also to make everyone understand the consequences of betraying the alliance.

Even a top force like the Fallen Heaven Pavilion would ultimately meet its demise.

The various rare items within the Fallen Heaven Pavilion would serve as rewards for those who participated in the siege.

Whoever managed to obtain them would rightfully own them, as the Thousand Feathers City did not require people to turn in their spoils.

However, to prevent everyone from just focusing on plundering the treasures without attacking the disciples of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, the Thousand Feathers City had also placed a bounty on the Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

As long as they killed a Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, they could go to the Task Hall in the Thousand Feathers City and claim the corresponding reward.

With this dual approach, in just a moment’s time, more than half of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion had already been killed or injured.

Chen Fei had some interest in the techniques of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion. After all, they were techniques collected by such an ancient force, and there might be many extraordinary skills among them that could benefit him.

However, with so many people present, it would be extremely difficult for Chen Fei to obtain what he truly needed. At most, he could exchange with other Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts in the Thousand Feathers City afterward.

What Chen Fei valued more now was whether he could obtain the remaining two spiritual materials to cultivate the remaining third flower for the Unfettered Matrix Technique within the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

Compared to techniques, if he could get those two spiritual materials, Chen Fei could directly start breaking through to the Ninth Transformation of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

By then, with the Three converging flowers, stepping into the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, even though there were many formidable experts within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, the only ones who could truly threaten Chen Fei would be the Mountain Sea Realm experts high above.

Even if there were changes in the situation within the Thousand Feathers Alliance due to upheavals in the Sea Monster’s side, as long as Chen Fei stayed far away from those Monster Kings, he could ensure his safety.

Techniques could be exchanged afterward, and spiritual materials could be as well, but spiritual materials were unique. It was difficult to ensure that some people, once they obtained them, wouldn’t directly consume them.

Therefore, if given the opportunity, Chen Fei still hoped to obtain them himself.

As Chen Fei sent one of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion’s Initial Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts flying with a sword strike and was about to turn and fly towards a nearby mountain range, suddenly a violent fluctuation of the surrounding spiritual energy swept over from afar.

Chen Fei turned his head to look, his eyes narrowing slightly. In the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, there were unexpectedly three auras of Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts at their peak, and one of them even seemed to be stronger than Gu Danying by a few degrees.

In the past century, the information publicly revealed by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion had always been about a Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert at their peak suppressing the sect’s fortune.

Compared to other top forces where two peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts occasionally coexisted, the influence of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion undoubtedly appeared weaker.

Over the years, despite bearing the title of the oldest force within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, its disciples had increasingly kept a low profile.

But unexpectedly, within the sect, there were already three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts.

However, even if not considering Master Haiyue currently in the sky, just the six peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts besieging them would pose a significant threat.

No matter how formidable the hidden strength of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion was, faced with such a siege, the final outcome wouldn’t change.

Even when the three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion launched a fierce attack just now, they only managed to severely injure Jiang Xiuming from the Tiandao Sect.

Jiang Xiuming’s face was dark, but even with his severe injuries, he showed no sign of retreat. He joined the other five in besieging the three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

The techniques of the Tiandao Sect emphasized only advancing, never retreating. Moreover, the more injured they were, the stronger their combat power became.

Furthermore, being directly injured to such an extent fueled Jiang Xiuming’s anger, and he wished nothing more than to slaughter all three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

Above the sky, Master Haiyue watched expressionlessly. Even with the appearance of three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, Master Haiyue’s demeanor remained unchanged.

Master Haiyue wouldn’t intervene anymore. If even with so many peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts, they couldn’t eradicate the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, then the Thousand Feathers Alliance would indeed face problems.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered as he flew into a nearby mountain range.

The conflicts between the peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts didn’t concern Chen Fei much. His main goal was still to find those two spiritual materials.

Inside this mountain range, several Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts were currently attacking a restriction.

Master Haiyue shattered the outermost formation of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion with a single palm. However, within the pavilion’s mountain gate, numerous restrictions remained intact. These areas were crucial zones for the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

Unauthorized access by ordinary disciples would result in severe punishment.

Chen Fei glanced at the cultivations of the few individuals present: three Initial Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts and two Mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts.

Although the restrictions were currently being assaulted by the five individuals and appeared to be on the verge of collapse at any moment, under Chen Fei’s observation, they could still hold for at least another fifteen minutes.

The trembling of the restrictions didn’t indicate imminent failure; rather, it was diverting the force of the attacks into the earth and water veins below.

The Fallen Heaven Pavilion boasted top-tier formation masters, and peering through the surface, if not for Master Haiyue’s intervention, even with so many Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts attacking together, breaking through the outer formation would have undoubtedly taken a considerable amount of time.

The five individuals glanced at Chen Fei, noticing he was only at the Initial Combined Aperture Tempering realm stage, and paid him no mind.

Without approaching, Chen Fei dispersed into the wind, vanishing from the perception of the five individuals.

On the other side of the mountain range, Chen Fei’s figure reappeared. He gently touched his forehead with his right hand, and a beam of light shot out, illuminating the restriction.

Under the black and white vision, various information about the restriction appeared in Chen Fei’s mind. Especially now, as the restriction was under attack, all sorts of hidden mysteries within the restriction were revealed to Chen Fei.

“Impressive!”

Chen Fei murmured softly. His figure flickered, and he appeared deep within the soil layer of the mountain range.

Even within the soil layer, there were protective restrictions in place.

With his Heavenly Eye at its peak, Chen Fei slowly pointed his right hand forward.

“Hum!”

The restriction, which had been shaking violently, suddenly faltered slightly. However, it quickly resumed its trembling.

Outside the mountain range, the five Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts felt puzzled but continued their assault.

Meanwhile, within the soil layer, a gap appeared in the restriction. Chen Fei walked through the gap, and the restriction returned to normal..
