Cultivation starts from simplifying the exercises

Chapter 2246 A Great Harvest

When Chen Fei opened his eyes, he had basically adapted to the special environment of the Chaotic Heaven Domain and was able to more freely draw upon and control the power of the Great Dao origin here.

"Let's go." He stood up and looked at Cao Feiyu beside him.

Cao Feiyu also opened her eyes at the same time, sheathed her sword, stood up, and nodded with a smile.

The two pushed open the door to the quiet room and walked out of the fortress's heavy gate.

Once outside the fortress's safe zone, a vast and desolate landscape came into view.

The earth had a grayish-brown hue, covered with potholes and cracks of all sizes, as if it had been the site of countless fierce battles.

A faint gray mist filled the air; it was free-floating chaotic energy.

In the distance, one can see some prismatic chaotic celestial stone veins, like crystals, exposed on the surface or half-buried in the soil, emitting a soft and profound light.

Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu flew side by side, carefully searching for valuable resources along the outer edge of the Chaotic Heaven Domain.

Their primary objective on this trip was, of course, the Chaos Stone.

This wondrous object, imbued with the power of the Great Dao's origin, has an extremely wide range of uses.

The most direct use is to extract the power of the Great Dao contained in the Chaos Heavenly Stone and inject it into one's own divine weapon to help the divine weapon complete its transformation and upgrade.

This is also one of the important ways for Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu to continue to improve the quality of the two low-grade Heavenly Monarch Divine Weapons they just obtained.

Furthermore, cultivators can even directly devour and refine Chaos Stones, absorbing the pure power of the Great Dao's origin within them to better comprehend the rules of heaven and earth, understand the true meaning of the Great Dao, and accelerate their own cultivation process.

For Cao Feiyu, who has only recently entered the Heavenly Monarch Realm, the Chaos Heavenly Stone is undoubtedly one of the most suitable cultivation resources for her at this stage.

Besides searching for finished Chaos Stones, Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu are also keeping an eye on Rank Fragments.

The unique environment of the Chaotic Heaven Domain means that fragments of a plane can condense at any time, or that fragments of a plane from a broken plane can drift here due to the turbulent void currents.

These fragments of a rank, though not as priceless as complete rank materials, are still extremely valuable cultivation resources. When there are enough of them, they can be condensed into complete rank materials.

Therefore, even if you are just wandering around and exploring the outer perimeter of this Chaotic Heavenly Domain, you may encounter some fragments of the seventeenth-tier rank if you are lucky.

However, after searching by air for a while, Chen Fei's brows furrowed slightly.

Relying solely on flight and spiritual perception to find resources is far too inefficient.

The area of ​​the Chaotic Heavenly Domain is too large.

At their flying speed, the area they could cover in a short time was but a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Chaos Heaven Domain.

Moreover, the environment here is extremely complex, filled with energy turbulence and fragments of rules caused by spatial instability.

These chaotic energies and fragments of rules will severely interfere with a cultivator's spiritual perception, greatly reducing the range of perception and significantly diminishing its accuracy.

At this rate, let alone finding any precious resources, it will be difficult to even find the Chaos Stones needed to sustain daily cultivation.

"That's a bit too slow."

Chen Fei stopped and hovered in mid-air: "The Chaotic Heavenly Domain is too vast, and the sensory interference is too severe. Searching aimlessly like this is too inefficient."

Cao Feiyu also realized the problem and nodded: "Use a secret technique?"

Chen Fei extended his right hand, his five fingers spread open.

"Om..."

In the void, a dark golden light flashed, and the Qian Yuan Halberd, which he had just acquired, appeared in his palm.

On the halberd, the spacetime array patterns seemed to come alive, slowly flowing and exuding a mysterious and profound aura.

Chen Fei gripped the halberd with his right hand and gave it a gentle shake. A surge of pure Dao Origin Power flowed into the Qian Yuan Halberd like a tide.

Immediately afterwards, he gently patted the halberd with his right hand.

The Qian Yuan Halberd, about twelve feet long, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling dark golden light. Within the light, the halberd began to split.

In the blink of an eye, the complete Qian Yuan Halberd transformed into a total of 1,296 smaller Qian Yuan Halberds, each only the length of a finger and resembling a spear.

These small Qian Yuan halberds, with their dark golden metallic luster and subtle spacetime array patterns flowing across their surfaces, resembled a group of metallic fish, quietly floating around Chen Fei's body.

The predecessor of the Qian Yuan Halberd was the Array Puppet. One of the core characteristics of the Array Puppet is that it can be disassembled and combined at will, resulting in countless variations.

When Chen Fei upgraded it to a low-grade Heavenly Monarch Divine Weapon, he deliberately preserved this characteristic and combined it with his own insights, so that after the Qian Yuan Halberd was disassembled, each of the smaller halberds had a special connection based on the Great Dao of Time and Space.

Upon seeing Chen Fei's actions, Cao Feiyu immediately understood his intention.

She extended her slender finger and gently touched the space between her eyebrows.

"Whoosh!"

A surge of powerful and pure sword energy erupted from her body, transforming into a condensed, ice-blue pillar of light that poured into the 1,296 small Qian Yuan halberds that hovered around Chen Fei.

With the infusion of this sword energy, the small halberds, which were originally just dark gold, were immediately coated with a faint layer of icy blue luster.

On the halberd, the flowing spacetime array patterns and the icy blue sword energy began to merge and resonate in a strange way.

The aura emanating from the Small Qian Yuan Halberd instantly surged significantly. Moreover, it also gained a sharp sword intent unique to Cao Feiyu.

This is a set of combined attack techniques that Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu have worked together to develop and refine over the past year.

This secret technique is primarily based on Chen Fei, with his powerful divine soul and control over the Great Dao of Time and Space as its core.

With Cao Feiyu as her assistant, she provided Chen Fei with additional support from the Great Dao Source and amplification of his sword intent, using her pure sword essence and unique icy sword intent.

The two, one leading and one supporting, one assertive and one gentle, worked together seamlessly.

With a thought, Chen Fei caused the 1,296 small Qian Yuan halberds that were floating around his body to suddenly transform into streaks of light and fly off in all directions.

Some of them fly close to the ground, like agile fish, weaving between rocks and crevices.

Some soared upwards, flying tens of thousands of feet into the sky, overlooking a wider area. Others disappeared directly into the hazy, chaotic mist, merging into the shadows.

Each of these scattered small Qian Yuan halberds is imbued with a wisp of Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu's divine soul power and the power of the Great Dao Origin.

They are like the eyes and ears that Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu extend, continuously transmitting all information they encounter back to their sea of ​​consciousness through that special connection based on the Great Dao of Time and Space.

Compared to relying solely on one's own spiritual perception, this method of detection using the Small Qian Yuan Halberd is far more efficient.

First of all, these small halberds are themselves part of the low-grade Heavenly Lord Divine Weapons, and are made of solid material, making them difficult to damage.

Secondly, the power of the Great Dao attached to the small halberd can better resonate with the rich power of the Great Dao in the Chaotic Heaven Domain, thereby filtering out some of the chaotic energy interference and making the perception clearer and more accurate.

After setting up their eyeliner, Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu no longer flew around aimlessly as before.

About half an hour later, Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu, who were flying, both had their eyes slightly moved at almost the same time.

Through a small Qian Yuan Halberd scattered in the distance, they sensed an extremely faint yet extremely pure fluctuation of energy.

That was the aura of a fragment of a personality.

The two looked at each other, and without any hesitation, immediately took hands, their hearts in perfect harmony.

Chen Fei simultaneously pushed the Myriad Soul Source Technique and the Devouring Heaven Creation Technique to their limits, using the small Qian Yuan Halberd scattered in the distance as an anchor point and the power of the Great Dao Origin jointly controlled by the two as a bridge, and suddenly activated the spatial teleportation method contained in the combined secret technique.

"Om..."

A low hum echoed from the void. Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu's figures rippled like water before vanishing instantly.

The next instant, in a secluded valley thirteen million miles away from their original location, a small Qian Yuan halberd stuck in a crevice of a rock suddenly lit up.

The space around the halberd rippled violently, and then two figures emerged directly from the void, appearing beside the small Qian Yuan Halberd.

This is another wonderful use of the secret technique that the two practiced together. As long as those scattered small Qian Yuan Halberds are still there and maintain a connection with Chen Fei's main body based on the Great Dao of Time and Space.

Therefore, within a certain range, they can use these coordinates to achieve rapid movement that approximates spatial teleportation.

This not only greatly enhances their mobility, but also allows them to react more quickly when faced with emergencies.

At this moment, not far in front of Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu, a strange crystal with an irregular shape and strands of golden threads flowing slowly inside was quietly suspended in the air about three feet above the ground.

This crystal is absorbing the chaotic energy and fragments of order from the surrounding environment at an extremely slow rate.

Its aura, while not as vast and powerful as a complete seventeenth-tier spiritual material, is far more refined than that of ordinary seventeenth-tier natural treasures.

This is a fragment of a seventeenth-tier low-grade grid that is currently in the process of condensing.

Neither Chen Fei nor Cao Feiyu expected that they would actually encounter a nascent fragment of a rank so soon after entering the outer reaches of the Chaotic Heaven Domain, using such a secret technique.

Although it's just fragments, it's already a pretty good find.

The two stood quietly not far away, waiting patiently.

After about three breaths, the amber crystal that was suspended in mid-air finally completed its final condensation process.

The flowing golden threads inside it stabilized, and the entire crystal exuded a more restrained aura.

Chen Fei reached out and gently beckoned to the amber crystal that had just been formed.

The fragment of the dimensional trembled slightly, then transformed into a stream of light and landed steadily in his palm.

It feels warm and smooth to the touch, like holding a piece of warm jade.

Chen Fei could sense that this small crystal contained the power of a rank.

He held the fragment in his palm, examined it carefully to make sure it wasn't tainted by any hidden restrictions, and then put it into the Void Realm with peace of mind.

"You're lucky."

Cao Feiyu, standing to the side, also smiled, "On the very first day here, I've already obtained a rank fragment. This is a good omen."

"Ah."

Chen Fei nodded, in a good mood. "This method is indeed effective. With the Little Qian Yuan Halberd leading the way, our search efficiency and range have been greatly improved. Let's continue."

For the next period of time, Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu maintained this efficient exploration mode.

One thousand two hundred and ninety-six small Qian Yuan halberds, like a net, were scattered in the vast area around their route of advance, constantly feeding back various information into Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu's sea of ​​consciousness.

Whenever they discover a location that seems to contain the aura of Chaos Stones or fragments of Rank, the two of them will use spatial teleportation to instantly arrive at the scene to confirm and collect the information.

This method allowed them to avoid a lot of ineffective searches and long journeys, greatly improving efficiency.

Of course, the Chaotic Heavenly Domain is not one's own backyard, and resources are not everywhere.

They don't have huge hauls every day; sometimes, they can only find ordinary Chaos Stones for several days in a row.

But more often than not, they are still able to achieve something.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout the month, Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu maintained this methodical pace of exploration.

Their activities were always confined to the outer areas of the Chaotic Heaven Domain, and they did not rashly venture into those high-risk or unknown areas.

The strongest opponents they encountered were some demonic beasts or demonic cultivators who also operated on the periphery and whose strength hovered around the early stage of the Heavenly Monarch Realm.

However, thanks to Chen Fei's powerful perception and spatial teleportation abilities, they were always able to avoid unnecessary battles by escaping in advance.

Over the past month, they have collected a total of seventeenth-grade low-rank spirit material fragments. If they were to melt them all down, they would be able to condense about one-tenth of a seventeenth-grade low-rank spirit material.

This harvest speed is already quite astonishing.

It should be noted that many Heavenly Monarch Realm cultivators may not be able to find so many rank fragments even after spending several months painstakingly exploring the outer reaches of the Chaos Heaven Domain.

Furthermore, Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu did not engage in any combat; they simply relied on searching for the naturally condensed fragments of their personalities.

Based on this most conservative harvesting efficiency, they might not even need a year to accumulate a complete set of seventeenth-grade low-rank spiritual materials.

Although a complete set of seventeenth-grade low-level spiritual materials is no longer useful for Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu, who have already broken through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, to improve their cultivation level.

However, this kind of thing can be used to exchange for other urgently needed resources, or even kept to prepare for condensing seventeenth-grade mid-level spiritual materials in the future. (End of this chapter)
