Chapter 1386: Chapter 1345: One Year Later

After Chen Fei returned to the Enlightened Deity Mansion, he brought Apel and his mother Lin Ling, who were still on Earth, over into the Cultivation World.

Though he had already decided in his heart to go take a look at the Spirit Essence Holy Academy of the Triple Emperor Domain, he couldn’t just up and leave all of a sudden; he needed to first spend some time with his family.

Thus, over the following half year, Chen Fei would sometimes take the whole family out to tour mountains and rivers, and at other times return to Earth to experience that tranquil life again. Whenever he was free, Chen Fei would also open a preaching altar in the Enlightened Deity Mansion.

On this day, all Cultivators of the Enlightened Deity Mansion would put aside everything and come to respectfully listen to Chen Fei preach.

To the Enlightened Deity Mansion’s Cultivators as they were now, Chen Fei’s strength absolutely counted as “super-divine level.” As long as anyone listened seriously to what Chen Fei taught, they were guaranteed to gain something. How much they could gain, however, depended on their own fortune.

Besides that, in idle and boring periods, Chen Fei would even give the Mansion’s internal Alchemists special, private guidance, personally teaching them Alchemy. At first many Alchemists were unconvinced, thinking that even if Chen Fei’s strength was formidable, when it came to teaching them Alchemy, he was still off by ten thousand eight hundred miles.

But once Chen Fei casually displayed even a sliver of his Alchemy strength, all the Alchemists of the Enlightened Deity Mansion were stunned!

Only then did they truly realize that their Mansion Lord Chen Fei, aside from being a powerhouse Cultivator of terrifying might, was also a fearsome Alchemist whose skill bordered on the miraculous. Chen Fei’s Alchemist strength at the very least left them ten thousand blocks behind.

Subsequently, under the private guidance Chen Fei provided from time to time, the Alchemy level of the Enlightened Deity Mansion’s Alchemists soared as if taking flight! Some of the elders who had been in the Mansion from the very beginning even broke through to the realm of King Level Alchemist.

That was a King Level Alchemist!

A few years ago, such a figure in their eyes was practically no different from a Celestial Deity!

Many Alchemists’ lifelong dream was merely to get to work as an assistant under a King Level Alchemist, serving as a mere fire-tending boy.

And now, that dream had become reality, and even exceeded it tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold! The feeling in their hearts, that shock, that heartfelt submission, simply couldn’t be put into words.

Because of this, many Alchemists who had once been incomparably arrogant had now wholeheartedly settled down in the Enlightened Deity Mansion. They hoped that one day, they too could catch the eye of Lord Mansion Master Chen Fei, receive private guidance, and become one of those legendary King Level Alchemists…

In such an environment, the overall strength level of the Enlightened Deity Mansion also began to rapidly rise.

King Level Alchemists could refine King Pills. And some King Pills could even allow a Cultivator of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm to break through to the Primordial Core True Lord Realm.

As a result, more and more Cultivators of the Primordial Core True Lord Realm appeared in the Enlightened Deity Mansion.

The strength of the Enlightened Deity Mansion became unprecedentedly mighty.

But in Chen Fei’s eyes, this still didn’t feel like enough. Because as his strength grew stronger and stronger, the enemies he would face in the future would no longer be mere Cultivators of Minor Heavenly Position or Great Heaven Rank. Even Cultivators of Mystic Heaven Position were, in his eyes now, nothing to speak of.

Under such circumstances, if one day he provoked some Ancient King of Supreme Heavenly Position, and that existence came to slaughter, then no matter how prosperous the Enlightened Deity Mansion looked now, it would still only be “outwardly strong but inwardly weak.”

Even as strong as the Enlightened Deity Mansion was now, if some Ancient King of Supreme Heavenly Position truly descended upon them, they would probably be able to crush the entire city with a single slap.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei decided to rearrange and lay down a new protective Great Formation for the entire Enlightened Deity Mansion.

And for this Ten Absolute Formation, Chen Fei’s first choice was to set his sights on Yee Hua Pill King’s Ten Absolute Killing Formations. Though every single one of these Ten Absolute Killing Formations was a Fifth Layer of Earth Formation, as long as he had enough time, to lay down an incomplete version of it was still not too much of a problem.

After picking and choosing repeatedly, selecting the best among them, he finally decided to choose the “Soul-Falling Killing Formation” among Yee Hua Pill King’s Ten Absolute Killing Formations to serve as the protective Great Formation of the Enlightened Deity Mansion’s new city.

Soul-Falling Killing Formation—this formation was no ordinary thing. It could close the life gate and open the death gate; with sufficient support from nature’s baleful energy, even an ordinary Ancient King of Supreme Heavenly Position descending personally would have one of his three souls and seven spirits seized, soul scattered, spirit dispersed, and be unable to move an inch.

However, this Soul-Falling Killing Formation in the Ten Absolute Killing Formations was, after all, a Fifth Layer of Earth Formation. Even though Chen Fei had now reached the Third Layer of Great Formation Master, wanting to set down this Formation was still far, far too difficult.

In the end, Chen Fei truly had no choice but to seek help within the inherited memories of that expert of the Cultivation World. A method of breaking through.

It could be counted as good luck, or perhaps the inherited memories of that expert of the Cultivation World were powerful enough, but they actually allowed Chen Fei to find a shortcut method within them.

That was to steal Star Power, and use Star Power to lay down this “Soul-Falling Killing Formation.”

Star Power could be said to be one of the highest-tier types of power in this Cultivation World, no inferior to the True Dragon’s draconic might, no inferior to the Divine Phoenix’s phoenix flame. If he could steal this kind of power to lay down the Soul-Falling Killing Formation, it indeed might produce inconceivable changes.

Very quickly, with a single command from Chen Fei, twelve Black Jade Pillars, ten zhang thick and a hundred zhang tall, rose abruptly from within the Enlightened Deity Mansion’s city, thrusting up from the ground. The four at the very center corresponded to east, south, west, and north, one pillar in each direction, yet at the same time, they also served as the “central palace.”

The remaining eight Black Jade Pillars encircled the four directions, forming a profound Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation. Facing the starry sky above from afar, they actually began to steal the Star Power bit by bit.

That very day and night, all the Cultivators within the Enlightened Deity Mansion’s city felt a hundredfold surge in nature’s spiritual energy!

And that surge even surpassed many Earth-level Spirit Veins of Spirit Grade and Human Grade Spirit Veins of Holy Grade.

Everyone was in an uproar.

After that, Chen Fei spent a full two months inscribing incomprehensible Formation Patterns in every street corner and alley of the Enlightened Deity Mansion’s city.

When all work was finally completed, the Earth Level Spirit Vein of Spirit Grade deep underground erupted with endless, majestic Spiritual Energy, rising up from the ground like Golden Lotus Emerging from Earth, pouring into the earth and making those twelve colossal Black Jade Heavenly Pillars radiate a dazzling, Divine Holy light.

“It finally succeeded.”

Thick Spiritual Energy continuously spread out in all directions, suffusing the entire Enlightened Deity Mansion’s city and making everyone feel as if they were in a Fairyland Holy Land.

Because the density of Spiritual Energy within the Enlightened Deity Mansion’s city was now at least a hundred times what it had been before!

Yes, a hundred times! That number was absolutely not an exaggeration.

This kind of foundation even surpassed the five great powers of the Inner Region, and even surpassed the Wang Clan. However, all of this was something only the core personnel of the Enlightened Deity Mansion were qualified to enjoy. As for outsiders, this news would not be exposed for a very long time to come.

Within this Spiritual Energy range that was a hundred times the previous “Immortal Realm Holy Land,” one could easily imagine how many powerhouses would emerge endlessly from the Enlightened Deity Mansion in the future.

Among the major powers of the Cultivation World, there was a saying.

Only when you possess terrifying enough resources will you possess powerhouses strong enough. This was absolutely not empty talk.

Cultivator, Cultivator—if in the end you’re not competing with resources, then what are you competing with?!

And the level of resource accumulation of the Enlightened Deity Mansion now had absolutely already far surpassed the five great powers and surpassed the Wang Clan!
