Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

“`

Two thousand li away, Hu Mang gazed at the mark in his palm, his brows slightly furrowed.

Since a moment ago, a faraway mark had begun to resonate with him.

Initially, the distance was quite vast, so Hu Mang thought for a moment and decided not to go.

Because from the details of the resonance, it was certain that it wasn’t a member of the Ice Race in the Rule Integration Realm.

Since it wasn’t a fellow clansman and the distance was so great, rushing to help might not be worthwhile.

The Ice Race and the Evil Clans had an alliance aimed at opposing the human race, a fact known by all races within the Black Stone Domain.

But in truth, this matter had already caused dissonant voices within the Ice Race, primarily because the elder ancestor of the Evil Clans was not a legitimate Open Heaven Realm cultivator.

Originally, the Ice Race was willing to ally with the Evil Clans, not just out of their own desire, but significantly because the elder ancestor was of the Open Heaven Realm, which served as a huge motivation.

After all, inside the Black Stone Domain, the Open Heaven Realm represented the pinnacle of battle strength, and following the Evil Clans could at least guarantee the future status of the Ice Race within the domain.

In this small world of the Black Stone Domain, for tens of thousands of years, the Evil Clans had always been the strongest, and their prestige reached its peak when a cultivator of the Open Heaven Realm emerged among them.

The human race has been developing nicely over the years, even showing an increasingly positive trend, and now, the number of strong individuals in the Emperor Realm has reached as many as nineteen, marking a period of culmination.

Whether the Evil Clans aim to dominate the Black Stone Domain absolutely, or for the Qiankun Stone within the Qiankun Cauldron, a decisive battle between them and the human race is inevitable.

Or rather, the Qiankun Stone within the Qiankun Cauldron might be the trigger that prompted the Evil Clans to risk it all in an attempt to annihilate the human race.

The Ice Race, following behind the Evil Clans and deferring to them, was only perturbed by the fact that their elder ancestor was a fake wielder of the Open Heaven Realm.

Outside the Glass Space, when the elder ancestor of the Evil Clans was injured by the human race’s Qiankun Cauldron, the Ice Race was full of doubt, wondering if the power of the Qiankun Cauldron was perhaps excessively strong.

Only after the Wu Meng Clan arrived did they realize it wasn’t that the Qiankun Cauldron was powerful, but that the elder ancestor of the Evil Clans simply did not have the true power of the Open Heaven Realm.

Various thoughts flashed through Hu Mang’s mind as his eyes surveyed the surroundings, searching for any traces of the Human Clan’s Rule Integration Realm cultivators that might be there to intercept them.

No matter what the Ice Race thought of the Evil Clans, now that they had formed an alliance and slain so many of the human race, there was no turning back; they could only march forward into the darkness.

Moreover, even though the elder ancestor of the Evil Clans was only a fake Open Heaven Realm cultivator, he was certainly still much stronger than an average Emperor Realm cultivator. In the current environment of the Black Stone Domain, he was somewhat of a significant asset.

When the Ice Race faced a life-or-death crisis, they too could seek assistance from the Evil Clans.

“Hmm?”

Hu Mang looked puzzledly downwards as he noticed the resonating frequency of the mark in his hand begin to increase. Turning his head to the side, he saw the Rule Integration Realm cultivator of the Evil Clans, whom he had just sensed, was now actually rushing towards him.

Hu Mang felt a strange premonition, sensing that something was off.

As Hu Mang focused on the resonating mark, lost in thought for a moment, his eyebrows suddenly raised slightly as he finally understood where his uneasy feeling was coming from.

The mark resonating with him had many subtle differences compared to the marks of other Rule Integration Realm cultivators of the Evil Clans.

“What is going on?”

A wave of confusion rose in Hu Mang’s heart. Could someone be pretending?

But Hu Mang quickly dismissed the thought, since it was simply not feasible—irrespective of cultivation level; certainly not within the Rule Integration Realm.

This anchoring mark was created by both the Ice Race and the Evil Clans according to their innate racial attributes.

In truth, it wasn’t some profound technique; it would be incredibly simple for other races to create such an Inscription.

But the foundation of this Inscription was the racial attribute, which made resonance impossible among different races due to their diverse characteristics.

It’s like trying to resonate the Earth Rules with the Water Rules to unleash the power of the Water Rules, an utter impossibility.

It is the same with the racial anchoring mark.

“Could it have changed due to severe injury?”

A possibility occurred to Hu Mang; a body gravely wounded, especially after casting forbidden techniques and burning one’s essence, energy, spirit, and soul, could possibly cause a distortion in the soul, thereby altering the mark.

With this in mind, Hu Mang did not remain where he was; instead, he flew directly towards the opposite location.

Regardless of whether forbidden techniques were used or not, none of it boded well.

Initially, it was agreed upon that the marks could only be activated when there was insufficient strength to surround and kill the enemy. This act of activating the mark for aid after injury broke the original agreement.

Hu Mang, at the mid-stage of Rule Integration Realm, knew there were quite a few human cultivators whose realms were higher than his. He did not wish to take any risks.

A thousand li away, Chen Fei sensed the distant mark moving away and was slightly taken aback. Had he been exposed, or had something else happened?

Regardless of the reason, having pursued this far, Chen Fei naturally could not allow him to escape.

A thousand li was neither too far nor too near, but quickly crossing that distance was not easy. Moreover, as the other was flying away and with Chen Fei’s burst speed, it would still take a considerable amount of time to catch up.

Chen Fei thought for a moment, and within his soul, the energies of earth, water, fire, and wind ignited instantaneously. Violent power swept through his entire body, and Chen Fei, facing forward, brought his hands together before thrusting them outward with all fingers bending sharply in a sudden hook.

A ripple emanated from the position of his palms, causing the surrounding space to wrinkle.

With this simple action, Chen Fei had grasped a space rift.

As Chen Fei let out a low shout, his arms began to exert force, and a thin black space crack appeared before him.

Terrible power flowed within the black space crack, as if at any moment it would shatter Chen Fei’s body.

Chen Fei’s eyelids twitched slightly, not attempting to further widen the space crack. Setting aside whether Chen Fei had the strength to do so, even if he did, he would not try it.

For once an unstable space rift truly formed, the first one to suffer would be Chen Fei himself, a power that the Rule Integration Realm could not withstand.

The space in the Return to Nothing Realm is unimaginably sturdy; it is nearly impossible for those in the Rule Integration Realm to shatter the space barrier with brute force, much less create a space crack.

Only certain special techniques could be used, such as what Chen Fei was doing now.

Only the Open Heaven Realm, where the four secondary rules of earth, water, fire, and wind are refined together, yielding tremendous power, could substantially affect the space barrier in the Return to Nothing Realm.

At this moment, Chen Fei creating a tiny space crack was merely to travel more quickly.

Even without comprehending the rules of space, the Open Heaven Realm powerhouses far surpassed those in the Rule Integration Realm in terms of burst speed, all because they used a different method of travel.

This method involved using the power of earth, water, fire, and wind to carve out a specific route within the space rift.

It bore some resemblance to a teleportation formation, but teleportation formations required long-term route verification, selecting stable space rifts.

Establishing each teleportation formation required a tremendous amount of effort and spirit.

Of course, if a transmission route could be established, then setting up other routes afterward would be much easier.

But the Open Heaven Realm powerhouses did not need it; even if some space rifts were unstable, their power was enough to withstand the spatial turbulence.

This method of traveling was naturally not part of the human race’s heritage, but was mentioned briefly in the Nine Heavens Star Kill of the Wu Meng Clan.

Chen Fei was not of the Open Heaven Realm, but he had the power to ignite earth, water, fire, and wind, and his main comprehended fragment of rules was space, already possessing the ability to teleport within space rifts, albeit over short distances.

With the combination of the two, Chen Fei gained the ability to use this method of travel.

Chen Fei swept his arms backward, and the scenery of the surrounding space changed rapidly, with the tremendous pressure of the space rift bearing down on Chen Fei’s body.

The Space Secondary Rules, the power of earth, water, fire, and wind, and his sturdy physique allowed Chen Fei to withstand the scouring force.

Chen Fei loosened his arms; without even needing to sense the inscription in his palms, just by his mental awareness, he had already captured the presence of a mid-stage Rule Integration Realm member of the Ice Race hundreds of miles away.

With a single spatial transfer, Chen Fei advanced over a thousand miles, a speed at which even some at the Peak of Rule Integration Realm would not catch up.

Hundreds of miles away, Hu Mang suddenly turned his head, sensing the abrupt disturbance that had appeared hundreds of miles away.

More crucially, the resonance from the inscription in his palm was clearly that of the same Evil Clan member who had been resonating with him all this while. How did they manage to travel a thousand miles in an instant?

Moreover, now that they were only a few hundred miles apart, Hu Mang felt that the other party didn’t seem to be of the Evil Clans’ Rule Integration Realm.

This realization was no longer about feeling strange or not but that the other party definitely had a major problem.

Could there really be another race that has mimicked the anchoring inscription of the Evil Clans? How was that done?

Countless questions surfaced in Hu Mang’s mind, and he felt a touch of panic as he frantically teleported towards the distance.

Yet barely after flying a few miles, Hu Mang’s figure involuntarily stiffened, as he saw a figure suddenly appearing tens of miles ahead.

“Human Chen Fei?”

Hu Mang looked at the distant figure’s appearance; he had glimpsed this human prodigy from a distance when he was within the territories of the Wu Meng Clan, and now, within the Ice Race, there were also continuous discussions about Chen Fei’s appearance and aura characteristics.

So with just a glance, Hu Mang recognized the identity of this figure.

Imitating the anchoring inscription of the Evil Clan, continuously resonating with his from three thousand miles away and now having directly crossed over a thousand miles to his front.

Was this the human prodigy at the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm?

Seeing Chen Fei appear, not only did Hu Mang’s doubts fail to diminish, but they also multiplied, and his soul began to signal wildly because the murderous intent emanating from Chen Fei was completely unmasked.

Hu Mang’s eyes darted left and right, and in the next instant, the power within his body exploded out, as he without hesitation used forbidden techniques, and his figure shifted toward the left.

A thousand miles away in that direction, Hu Mang sensed the fluctuations of someone from his own race at the Rule Integration Realm.

Chen Fei looked up at Hu Mang and extended his left hand, slightly tightening his palm.

The moment Hu Mang tried to move, his body froze in mid-air, as boundless tremendous strength poured over him, rendering him utterly powerless to move.

Chen Fei took a step forward, vanishing from sight, and on reappearing, he was already in front of Hu Mang.
