Boom!
Chen Fei’s earth shield aura was as fragile as paper against this force—it was completely useless.
Just when he thought he was doomed, the terrifying power suddenly stopped right in front of him without striking him down.
“An eight-hundred-segment Technique Spirit Master?”
“How did you manage to slay late-stage ninth-rank True Spirit Master phantom beasts?”
Abruptly, the force attacking him coalesced into a human figure. Upon closer inspection, it was identical to the statue he had once kowtowed before.
“Senior, please understand!”
“I never violated the rules of this secret realm.”
“The reason I can slay late-stage ninth-rank True Spirit Master phantom beasts is that I naturally possess a unique ability to suppress pure energy beings like them.”
Facing a life-and-death situation, Chen Fei could no longer afford to hold back. The being before him had the power to erase him in an instant.
“Such a unique existence in this world?”
“Let me test you!”
As the voice fell, the guardian of the secret realm attacked directly.
A surge of power crashed toward Chen Fei!
At this moment, he couldn’t afford any reservations. The Void Heaven Cauldron was his greatest secret, but now that he was on the verge of death, nothing else mattered.
Since the guardian was also an energy entity, the moment its power drew near, Chen Fei activated the Void Heaven Cauldron.
The cauldron’s terrifying pull immediately absorbed a large portion of the guardian’s energy.
“What is that?”
The secret realm’s guardian was visibly startled. Its own strength was unfathomable, yet part of it had been sucked away.
At that moment, it finally believed Chen Fei’s words—he truly had a natural ability to suppress energy-based beings.
Chen Fei, however, had turned pale. He was pushing the Void Heaven Cauldron to its limits, yet he had only absorbed less than one-hundredth of the guardian’s power—far from enough to defeat it.
The guardian’s strength was beyond his imagination!
Fortunately, the guardian did not seem intent on killing him. Once it confirmed his ability, it broke free from the cauldron’s pull and returned to its humanoid form.
“Are you willing to become my successor?” The guardian asked, staring at Chen Fei.
“Senior, my cultivation is weak…” Chen Fei wanted to explain that he had already obtained the inheritance but had no way to refine it.
“No matter. Since I have chosen you as my successor, I will ensure you receive my complete inheritance,” the guardian interrupted, continuing, “I only ask—are you willing?”
“I am willing!” Chen Fei nodded.
At this moment, he had no choice but to agree.
Besides, how could he refuse the inheritance of such a powerful being?
The Axe Spirit Weapon he had obtained had already saved his life multiple times.
“Very well!”
The guardian had been waiting for this answer. Once Chen Fei agreed, it nodded in satisfaction.
Then, with a flick of its finger, the Axe Spirit Weapon hidden in Chen Fei’s robes floated into the air.
As it hovered before the guardian’s shadowy figure, it shone with brilliance, as if it had come to life. Its oppressive aura surged, exuding an unfathomable presence.
Before Chen Fei could react, the Axe Spirit Weapon shot toward his forehead.
The next moment, he sensed something entering his consciousness—it was the imprint of the Axe Spirit Weapon.
Its radiance burst forth, merging with the misty light cluster forming in his sea of consciousness, instantly illuminating the remaining stars within.
A continuous stream of pure energy poured out from the Axe Spirit Weapon, rapidly expanding the glowing cluster in his consciousness at an astonishing speed.
In just a few moments, the Axe Spirit Weapon’s glow dimmed and returned to its usual appearance.
However, in Chen Fei’s consciousness, the misty light cluster had undergone an unprecedented transformation—its segments had jumped from nearly four hundred to over a thousand.
This imprint alone had provided him with the equivalent of six entire misty light clusters’ worth of mental energy!
The speed of this increase was beyond belief.
Even though he was not well-versed in spirit cultivation, he knew how incredibly difficult it was to enhance one’s mental energy.
Even with the help of the Three-Colored World, reaching the level of a thousand-segment Technique Spirit Master would have required countless years of arduous training.
Now, in an instant, he had achieved it effortlessly!
Not only that, but in his sea of consciousness, alongside the imprint of the Axe Spirit Weapon, was also the mark of the Earth Spirit Technique.
The connection between the Axe Spirit Weapon and his mind had become incredibly close—it felt like an extension of his own thoughts.
With just a single willful command, the Axe Spirit Weapon pulsed with light, and a flood of knowledge surged into his mind.
Technique Spirit Master!
A cultivation path based on spiritual energy, establishing a foundation within one’s sea of consciousness.
Upon reaching a thousand-segment mental energy threshold, a cultivator could complete their foundation, triggering their first transformation—the manifestation of a Dao Embryo Spirit.
Only by manifesting a Dao Embryo Spirit could a Technique Spirit Master step into higher realms.
The principles of Technique Spirit Master cultivation unfolded before Chen Fei, instantly granting him an understanding of its essence.
To manifest a Dao Embryo Spirit, one needed the right cultivation method. Fortunately, the Axe Spirit Weapon contained an exceptionally advanced technique for this purpose.
“Dao Embryo Spirit?”
“Once formed, it cannot be changed. That means I will have to follow the path of the axe forever?”
“That won’t do!”
Now that he understood the importance of the Dao Embryo Spirit, Chen Fei didn’t rush to use the Axe Spirit Weapon’s method to manifest it.
In his sea of consciousness, he not only possessed the Axe Spirit Weapon’s imprint but also the Earth Spirit Technique’s mark.
Normally, he could choose one of the two to manifest his Dao Embryo Spirit, establishing his foundation for future cultivation.
However, Chen Fei was well aware that besides the Axe Spirit Weapon’s inheritance, he also possessed something far more mysterious—the Void Heaven Cauldron, the very artifact that had transported him to this foreign world.
The power of the Void Heaven Cauldron was undeniable!
Its recorded myriad Dao methods were incomparably vast, and it had once come close to refining the Axe Spirit Weapon itself.
Most importantly, the Void Heaven Cauldron and its myriad Dao methods could replicate any path.
In comparison, Chen Fei’s first instinct was to use the Void Heaven Cauldron’s techniques to manifest his Dao Embryo Spirit.
Now, with the help of the Axe Spirit Weapon, he had reached the thousand-segment level much earlier than expected.
It was time to forge his own path.
And this time, he would choose carefully…
