Chapter 2237 I Want to Be the Strongest
The next morning, Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu left the Danchen Sect's residence and arrived at the Cultivation Hall located in the central area of the capital.
This Martial Arts Hall is one of the sacred sites in the entire Yanyang Immortal Dynasty that houses the most advanced martial arts techniques. It has a long history and profound cultural heritage.
Although it is open to many cultivators, certain conditions must be met in order to enter and view advanced cultivation techniques.
At this moment, in the square in front of the Cultivation Technique Hall, many cultivators were already preparing to enter and exchange for cultivation techniques.
When Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu appeared in the square in front of the Cultivation Hall, they immediately attracted the attention of countless eyes.
"Look, it's Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu."
"It really is them, the champion of yesterday's Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects, and that equally outstanding Fairy Cao."
"The aura emanating from them... is so powerful. They have indeed broken through to the Profound Sky Heavenly Monarch Realm."
The cultivators along the way, whether young disciples or seniors, all stopped in their tracks upon seeing Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu, bowing to them with admiration and envy in their eyes.
Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu politely returned the greetings, and then walked side by side toward the Gongfa Hall.
At the entrance of the Cultivation Hall, an invisible wave swept over the two people, as if confirming their identities and authority.
When the wave sensed the unique mark on Chen Fei's body, which belonged to the champion of the Ten Thousand Sects Grand Competition, it immediately softened and did not hinder them in any way.
As you step through the gates of the Gongfa Hall, the scene before you instantly transforms.
It was as if we had passed through an invisible spatial barrier; the noise and clamor outside vanished instantly. In its place was an immense, vast space, independent of the rest of the world.
Rows of towering bookshelves are neatly arranged in this space.
Above the bookshelf float countless jade slips, stone tablets, scrolls, and even some strange metal pieces and animal skin scrolls of various colors and shapes, exuding all sorts of mysterious auras.
Each of these inheritance carriers represents a powerful technique or secret art.
In the center of the main hall, light and shadow shifted and slowly coalesced into the figure of a graceful woman. The woman wore an elegant palace dress, with a dignified and beautiful face and a gentle temperament; she was the spirit of this cultivation hall incarnate.
She bowed slightly to Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu, her voice as clear as a flowing spring: "Lord Chen, Lord Cao, welcome to the Hall of Cultivation Techniques. I am the spirit of this hall. May I ask what kind of cultivation technique you two wish to observe today?"
She paused, then added, "According to the rules, the two of you can choose a total of six 17th-level Heavenly Monarch Realm inheritance techniques here. However, these techniques can only be cultivated and comprehended by the two of you and cannot be passed on to others."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei turned to look at Cao Feiyu beside him, his eyes questioning: "How about choosing another sword cultivation lineage?"
Cao Feiyu was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected Chen Fei to consider her needs first. A warm feeling welled up inside her, but she didn't refuse out of politeness.
She was originally a sword cultivator, so if she could find a seventeenth-level sword cultivation inheritance in this cultivation hall that complemented her, it would undoubtedly play a huge role in improving her strength.
She nodded slightly, a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Okay."
Seeing this, the female spirit smiled slightly, said nothing more, and simply waved her hand gracefully.
In an instant, the space around the three of them seemed to ripple and swirl like water.
The scene before my eyes changed rapidly like a carousel, with countless bookshelves and clusters of light flashing by, as if I were traversing layers of space.
When the scene stabilized again, they found themselves in front of a bookshelf made entirely of some kind of crystal-clear white jade.
This bookshelf, towering into the clouds, seemed to support the entire dome of the hall.
Hundreds of orbs of light of varying sizes floated above the bookshelf.
Each ball of light faintly emanated a sword intent of various kinds, some sharp, some ethereal, some profound, and some eerie.
These sword intents intertwined, forming a sword domain aura that could stir the heart of any sword cultivator.
The spirit woman stood beside the bookshelf and introduced in a gentle tone: "Lord Cao Tianjun, what is stored here are all top-grade sword cultivation inheritances of the seventeenth rank. There are a total of three hundred and sixty, covering all the major sword styles of today."
Whether it's the swordsmanship that pursues ultimate killing, the swordsmanship that emphasizes harmony between man and nature, or the unpredictable swordsmanship of shadows, all are included here.
Cao Tianjun could take his time selecting. If he found one he liked, he only needed to touch the ball of light with his divine sense to perceive its general outline.
Cao Feiyu's gaze slowly swept over those orbs of light, sensing the various sword intents contained within them, her eyes gleaming.
She didn't start choosing immediately, but turned to look at Chen Fei and said softly:
"Actually, within our Danchen Sect, there is a seventeenth-tier inheritance that is in line with the Heavenly Sword Technique. Therefore, I don't necessarily need to find a completely unfamiliar sword path here to start cultivating from scratch."
She paused for a moment: "All I need to do is choose a lineage here that can bring out the full potential of my existing Heavenly Sword Technique. This way, my cultivation will be twice as effective, and I can transform it into actual combat power much faster."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei nodded. Although Cao Feiyu was usually gentle and charming, she had her own opinions and clear plans when it came to cultivation.
“Then take your time choosing here, no need to rush,” Chen Fei said. “I’ll go take a look at other types of cultivation techniques.”
As he spoke, he turned to the female spirit and said, "I need the inheritance of physical cultivation techniques."
Upon hearing this, the female spirit nodded slightly.
She didn't leave with Chen Fei immediately, but her figure swayed slightly, like a ripple on the water's surface.
Immediately afterwards, a figure exactly like her, except for a slight difference in the color of her clothes, separated from her and stayed by Cao Feiyu's side.
"Lord Cao, I, your clone, will accompany you in choosing a sword technique," the spirit clone that remained said with a smile.
The female spirit of the main body then gestured to Chen Fei, saying, "Chen Tianjun, please follow me."
She waved again, and the space shifted.
This time, they arrived at a bookshelf with a completely different style.
This bookshelf is a deep, dark gold color, exuding a sense of weight and solidity, as if it could bear the aura of the entire world.
Hundreds of orbs of light also floated above the bookshelf.
However, the aura emanating from these orbs of light was completely different from the sword cultivation inheritances of the past.
They are more restrained and more focused, as if each ball of light contains a sleeping ancient beast, imbued with explosive physical power.
The female spirit explained, "What's hidden here are all top-grade 17th-level body cultivation inheritances, totaling 280."
Among them are inheritances such as the Undying Golden Body, renowned for its defense; inheritances such as the Creation of Heaven and Earth, excelling in power; and inheritances such as Nirvana and Rebirth, famous for their restorative abilities—the variety is vast.
Chen Fei stared at the hundreds of orbs of light, his gaze shifting.
As expected of the Yanyang Immortal Dynasty, each direction of its inheritance has collected hundreds of top-grade level 17 inheritances.
Such profound foundation is far beyond what a sect like Danchen Sect can match.
Chen Fei turned to the spirit woman and said, "Help me select the ten most powerful physical inheritances. Don't worry about the difficulty of cultivation, or whether there are any side effects or other restrictions. I only need the most powerful ones."
Having a power panel means he has nothing to fear regarding the difficulty of cultivation. As for side effects? As long as he can gain enough power in return, he can completely bear any controllable side effects.
A hint of surprise flashed in the spirit woman's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She nodded, extended her slender finger, and gently touched the hundreds of orbs of light.
Among the hundreds of orbs of light, ten suddenly lit up. They automatically detached from the bookshelf and slowly floated to Chen Fei's front, lining up in a row.
These ten orbs of light are all different colors and emit different auras.
Some are like the blazing sun, fiery and domineering. Some are like a deep, icy pool, cold and lifeless. Some are like ancient beasts, violent and wild. Some are like the beginning of chaos, vast and boundless…
Chen Fei stretched out his fingers and touched each of the orbs of light.
With each touch, his consciousness would immerse itself in the ball of light, sensing the general outline of this physical inheritance.
The general outline records the core concepts, cultivation path, and ultimate power that can be achieved through this lineage. Although it consists of only a few thousand words, it is enough for Chen Fei to gain a preliminary understanding and assessment of this lineage.
Chen Fei touched nine orbs of light in succession, experiencing nine completely different and powerful physical inheritances, each one quite tempting him. Those specially chosen by the artifact spirit were indeed all strong.
Finally, his finger landed on the tenth and last orb of light.
The moment his fingertips touched the tenth orb of light, his consciousness was sucked into a chaotic, undeveloped void.
In the void, there is no light, no sound, no time or space, only a primordial and pure chaotic aura.
A profound and mysterious outline was branded directly into the depths of his consciousness.
This lineage does not teach specific body-refining methods, how to absorb a particular type of energy, or how to temper one's own flesh and blood.
It speaks of a concept of Tao, using chaos as fuel to forge all things, ultimately transforming itself into a chaotic Tao body capable of containing all Tao and bearing all laws.
This technique is quite good. Chen Fei opened his eyes and selected two more physical training methods that he liked.
Then Chen Fei had the artifact spirit take him directly to the area of divine soul inheritance and selected two cultivation techniques.
At this point, Chen Fei had selected all five lineages for his inheritance.
Meanwhile, Cao Feiyu had just finished making her selection.
She chose a sword cultivation inheritance called the Nine Heavens Frost Sword Technique. This sword technique, which shares the same origin as the Heavenly Descent Sword Technique she cultivates, can be perfectly integrated into her existing sword cultivation system.
After choosing their cultivation techniques, Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu did not immediately return to the Danchen Sect's headquarters.
The two walked out of the Cultivation Hall side by side, basking in the warm sunshine of the capital city, feeling the bustling atmosphere of the streets, and couldn't help but smile.
The Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, which lasted for several days, was a life-or-death struggle in almost every battle, posing a great test to one's mind and will.
Although they ultimately achieved brilliant results, the intense state of tension was also a huge drain on their mental and physical well-being.
"Shall we take a stroll around the capital?"
Cao Feiyu suggested, a hint of anticipation in her eyes, "On the day we arrived in the capital, we only hurriedly visited a small part of the city. I heard that it would take several months to thoroughly explore the entire capital."
Since we have nothing else to do right now, why don't we take a good look at the capital of this immortal dynasty?
Chen Fei looked at the rare, childlike curiosity and anticipation in her eyes and smiled, nodding: "Okay, then have a good look around."
The two walked along the wide and clean streets of the capital, looking at the rows of shops and stalls on both sides, and at the dazzling array of strange and wonderful goods, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.
There are shops selling all kinds of rare pills, spiritual herbs, and ores. The pills are radiant with light, the spiritual herbs are fragrant, and the ores shimmer with various colors of light. They are obviously not ordinary products.
There are shops selling all sorts of rare and exotic beasts, some as big as small mountains and others as small as the palm of a hand.
They also saw strange creatures from different dimensions, each with its own unique characteristics and style, which broadened Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu's horizons.
As Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu strolled through the streets of the capital, more and more cultivators recognized their identities.
"Look, it's Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu."
"It really is them."
Many cultivators cast awe-inspiring and envious glances at them, but no one dared to approach and disturb them.
Even in this capital city teeming with hidden talents, a Xuanqiong Heavenly Monarch Realm expert is definitely considered a top-tier powerhouse.
For many ordinary cultivators who are not even at the Tai Cang Realm, a Heavenly Monarch Realm expert is equivalent to an ancestor in their sect, someone they need to look up to.
They could only follow the two figures walking side by side from afar, their eyes filled with respect and longing.
Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu were happy to have some peace and quiet, enjoying this rare peaceful and beautiful time.
Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu were standing in a shop called Wanlingge, which sells exotic animals, and were watching with great interest several small fish that were crystal clear.
These small fish are called Ice Glass Fish. Although they have little fighting power, they are highly ornamental and are favored by some cultivators who appreciate elegance.
Just then, a figure slowly walked in from outside the store, walked straight through the sparse crowd inside, and came to Chen Fei.
The newcomer wore a dark blue official robe with silver cloud patterns embroidered on the hem. He also wore an antique-style token at his waist, on which was engraved a character in bold, iron-like strokes.
This man had a long, three-strand beard and an elegant demeanor, but a sharp glint would occasionally flash in the depths of his slightly narrowed eyes.
He stopped three feet in front of Chen Fei, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Greetings, Heavenly Lord Chen. I am a steward under the Heavenly Evolution Division of the Celestial Dynasty. My surname is Shen, and my given name is Zhao. I apologize for disturbing you, Heavenly Lord."
Chen Fei raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the man before him who claimed to be a deacon of the Tianyan Division with some surprise. (End of Chapter)
