Chapter 2036 Return to the Xuan Yu Realm
Chen Fei's figure, illuminated by the dazzling golden light of the Heavenly Ranking, turned and disappeared from the Life and Death Arena.
The people in the surrounding spectator area all looked surprised as they stared at the empty arena and the newly revealed anonymous code name on the leaderboard above their heads.
"You...you just left like that?"
"Based on the combat power he just displayed, he is fully capable of continuing the challenge!"
"Yeah, that crushing dominance just now shows that his strength is far more than 100th place. He could at least break into the top 90 or even higher, right?"
A chorus of doubts and questions arose. In their view, although Chen Fei's defeat of Situ You was brief, the absolute strength and physical advantage he displayed clearly indicated that he still had energy to spare.
Logically speaking, this should be a time when morale is at its peak.
"It's also possible that the series of battles have taken a toll, and they need to rest."
"No, he doesn't seem to be injured, and his breathing is very stable. He doesn't need to rest at all."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but no one could guess what Chen Fei was thinking.
They were naturally unaware that Chen Fei's main goal this time was to earn Source Points and exchange them for the Seed of the Primordial Light of Time.
Now that the goal has been achieved, the natural next step is to cultivate the future true form.
As for the rankings... there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Chen Fei appeared in the battle zone and reached out to touch the ball of light.
"Buzz!"
The ball of light swirled, and a stream of information flowed into his mind. At the same time, the mark on the back of his hand warmed slightly.
In battles at the peak of the fifteenth rank, the rules of the training ground allow participants to wager up to two million Xuan Crystals per match.
Chen Fei naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. From the first game to the thirtieth game, he unhesitatingly placed the maximum bet on himself in every single game.
"Collect it." Chen Fei's mind raced.
"Crash..."
As if an invisible torrent surged into his storage space, the amount of Xuanjing increased by another two million in an instant.
Adding to the massive gains accumulated in the Demon Lotus Realm, the total value of the Xuan Crystals, Dao Crystals, and various spiritual materials in Chen Fei's possession has already exceeded one hundred million.
This is a huge fortune that would make most fifteenth-tier individuals envious.
Sensing the mountain of resources within the mark, one can only say that for a prodigy with high combat power, not only will their faction allocate resources to them, but even if they rely solely on themselves, they will not encounter any resource problems.
The strong get stronger, easily acquiring enormous resources that are unimaginable to ordinary people. These resources, in turn, further enhance their strength, creating a virtuous cycle.
Chen Fei has now entered such a cycle.
Without lingering in the battle zone, Chen Fei went straight to the exchange zone and touched the light orb again.
The scene before him shifted, revealing a nebulous abyss and an ancient pavilion standing silently. He reappeared inside the Lin Yuan Pavilion.
The old man in the gray robe remained seated, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw Chen Fei.
"Young hero, you've arrived." The old man's voice was calm as he poured a cup of tea into the empty teacup in front of him. "Sit! What do you need this time?"
Chen Fei sat down opposite the old man, without touching the cup of tea, and went straight to the point: "Senior, I wish to exchange for the Seed of the Primordial Light of Time."
Upon hearing this, the old man nodded, then extended his withered finger and gently tapped the air in front of him.
The mark on the back of Chen Fei's hand felt slightly warm as 240 source points were deducted. At the same time, a strange stream of light, flowing with the hazy colors of time and seemingly containing the birth and death of countless worlds, condensed from the void and floated in front of Chen Fei, hovering quietly.
This is precisely the precious Seed of the Primordial Light that will enable his future true body and even his physical foundation to reach true perfection and flawlessness.
Chen Fei put it into his sleeve and sensed the remaining source points in the mark: seventy-nine points.
After exchanging for the most crucial spiritual materials, Chen Fei did not leave immediately.
He looked at the calm old man before him, pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"Senior, I have another question. I was fortunate enough to be listed on the Heavenly Ranking today. I wonder what special benefits this ranking brings? And what additional benefits can I gain if my ranking improves?"
This is a question that Chen Fei is concerned about. Since he has unintentionally made it onto this list, he naturally wants to find out whether it is good or bad.
Upon hearing this, the old man's smile deepened. "The Heavenly Origin Ranking is a list recorded by the rules of the Martial Arts Arena, ranking the top talents among the fifteen ranks. Being listed on it is itself a form of recognition and honor."
The old man paused slightly, then continued, "Its function is mainly twofold."
Firstly, there's the blessing of fortune. The rankings are connected to the martial arts arena and even some of the rules of the heavens. Those ranked higher receive the favor of fortune, and their speed in comprehending cultivation techniques and understanding the rules is further enhanced. Although not particularly obvious, the accumulated advantage over the years is not to be underestimated.
"Secondly," the old man's gaze became somewhat playful, "is the real reward: ranking 100th on the Tianyuan Ranking will grant you three Origin Points every year free of charge."
"Three source points?" Chen Fei raised an eyebrow, his face showing obvious surprise.
Three source points may not seem like much, but they represent the annual reward. Reaching the fifteenth level, even in the primordial continent, requires a cultivation period that typically starts at a thousand years.
Compared to cultivation time measured in millennia, a year sometimes seems very short. And it is precisely because it is so short that rewards are received every year; little by little, they accumulate into a great sum!
Although the Tianyuan Ranking is full of geniuses and prodigies who have already reached the fifteenth level limit and may break through to the sixteenth level Tai Cang Realm at any time, these are free source points and you don't need to fight for them.
Don't be fooled by the fact that you can often get thirteen source points in a single match at the peak of the fifteenth rank. The longer the winning streak goes, the more difficult it becomes. It's not something you can just win on a whim.
Chen Fei's thirtieth match was against Tianyuan Daoji, and after that, he would only encounter stronger opponents on the life-and-death stage.
Once you enter the Tianyuan Ranking, you can obtain Origin Points without fighting, which is a stable and risk-free source of income.
If one stays for several hundred years, that would amount to hundreds or even thousands of source points—what a considerable profit that would be!
Seeing the change in Chen Fei's expression, the old man knew that he had grasped the key point. His smile widened, and he continued, "Of course, the rewards are different depending on the ranking."
"If you can get into the top 100, or between the 99th and 70th place, you can get four Source Points every year."
"Those ranked 69th to 40th can obtain five source points each year."
"Thirty-ninth to eleventh place can obtain six source points each year."
"The tenth place winner will receive seven Source Points each year."
The old man paused, a profound meaning in his eyes: "For each rank you rise, you'll receive one more Source Point. The first place winner will receive sixteen Source Points per year!"
What do sixteen source points mean?
This means that as long as one can maintain the top position on the Heavenly Origin Ranking for a hundred years, one can effortlessly obtain 1,600 Origin Points. This is an enormous fortune that would drive any fifteenth-level cultivator mad.
Chen Fei won 30 consecutive games, but only obtained more than 300 Origin Points.
After listening, Chen Fei remained silent for a moment.
He raised his head, looked at the old man, and slowly said, "Such a reward means that the top ranks of the Heavenly Yuan Ranking are likely controlled by various powerful forces, given the significant interests involved."
Such an astonishingly stable source point reward will inevitably spark a frenzied competition among the top forces in the myriad realms. They will spare no effort to cultivate, and even guarantee, their own prodigies to reach the top of the rankings, in order to obtain this long-term, enormous return.
The old man nodded upon hearing this. "Yes, the competition for the top spots on the Heavenly Yuan Ranking is extremely fierce, and it often involves complex power struggles behind the scenes."
But then, the old man changed his tone, looked at Chen Fei, and smiled: "However, you have already concealed your information. Under the rules of the martial arts arena, as long as you have the strength, you can be ranked at the top."
The old man's voice was calm yet powerful: "There's no need to worry about anything else. The neutrality and fairness of the martial arts arena are the foundation of its existence."
As long as you are strong enough to fight your way up, you don't need to worry about being targeted and ostracized by certain powerful forces, or being forced to expose your identity.
Chen Fei nodded. It seemed that the ranking on the Tianyuan Ranking could potentially serve as a stable source of origin points in the future, which was worth paying attention to.
However, there are more important things to do right now.
Chen Fei looked at the old man, his expression becoming more serious. "Senior, I would like to ask about another matter."
"But it doesn't matter."
"I was forced to leave the Xuan Yu Realm back then," Chen Fei said calmly, but a deep, cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Now that I have enough strength, do you have any way to take back the Xuan Yu Realm?"
As he spoke, Chen Fei extended his right hand, and in his palm, a beacon key, pale gold in color and radiating the same aura as the Xuan Yu Realm, quietly emerged.
This was the only remaining connection between Chen Fei and the Xuan Yu Realm after he was forced to leave. It was also thanks to this beacon key that Chen Fei was able to enter the Myriad Realms Martial Arts Arena ahead of schedule.
The old man looked at the beacon key in front of him and slowly nodded.
"Yes, the Heavenly Dao of this Xuan Yu Realm must have already regarded you as the future successor."
The old man paused slightly before continuing, "But your strength was too weak at the time, and you were unable to successfully bear it. However, it still left this beacon for you."
"Is there any way?" Chen Fei asked the old man.
"Yes!" The old man looked at Chen Fei, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "Now, you are ranked on the Heavenly Origin Ranking. Those ranked on the Heavenly Origin Ranking can spend fifty Origin Points to purchase a Heavenly Origin Duel."
"As a person from the original Xuan Yu Realm, you can use this beacon to forcibly bring into the Life and Death Arena the beings who invaded the Xuan Yu Realm and have an irreconcilable karmic connection with you, and have them engage in a life-or-death duel."
"A direct life-or-death duel? The other party can't refuse?" Chen Fei asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, I can't refuse!"
The old man nodded in affirmation, "This is a privilege of the geniuses on the Heavenly Origin Ranking. Of course, not everything can be subject to a forced life-or-death duel. A prerequisite for a forced life-or-death duel is that there must be a significant causal connection between you."
“You are a native of the Xuan Yu Realm. You are favored by the Heavenly Dao of the Xuan Yu Realm. You were driven out of the Xuan Yu Realm in the past. This is an irreconcilable cause and effect relationship, which meets the conditions for a forced life-or-death duel.”
The old man then changed the subject, reminding him, "However, it's best to conduct a forced life-or-death duel when the opponent is not within your sect. Because the sect's formation can cause some trouble, potentially increasing the difficulty of the duel or causing unnecessary complications."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Chen Fei realized for the first time that the Martial Arts Arena of the Myriad Realms truly granted immense power to prodigies and geniuses.
As long as there is a major causal connection, a life-or-death duel can be directly forced. This rule is simply designed to protect and encourage top geniuses to settle scores and clear obstacles on their path.
The old man seemed to sense Chen Fei's shock and continued, "A prodigy cannot be insulted! If someone insults you to your face in the Martial Arts Arena of the Myriad Realms, you can use that as grounds for a forced life-or-death duel."
"You can even swear?" Chen Fei looked even more surprised.
No wonder so many of the onlookers at the life-or-death arena were furious, yet none dared utter a single curse. They were not only wary of his strength, but also afraid of triggering the rule and being dragged directly onto the life-or-death arena.
Chen Fei understood the rules of the All-Heavens Martial Arts Arena, which had a bit of the "Don't underestimate a young man's potential" vibe.
You were initially expelled from your original plane, but if you are a prodigy and become powerful, you will have the opportunity to reclaim it. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must be a prodigy.
Ultimately, the rules of the martial arts arena still honor the strong. It grants privileges to prodigies because they represent limitless future potential and are worthy of investment and protection. As for the mediocre, it maintains absolute neutrality and indifference.
“Senior,” Chen Fei raised his head, “this junior wishes to exchange for a Heavenly Origin Duel.”
The old man nodded and pointed his finger into the air again.
A golden light, imbued with a unique Daoist aura and shaped like an ancient battle talisman, flew out from the void and landed in front of Chen Fei. At the same time, the number of source points in the mark on the back of Chen Fei's hand decreased by forty again, leaving only thirty-nine.
"Thank you, senior!" Chen Fei bowed respectfully to the old man, then his figure gradually faded and he left Lin Yuan Pavilion.
A moment later, Chen Fei returned to the Realm of Return to Nothingness.
Chen Fei sat cross-legged and took out the Seed of the Beginning of Time, which he had exchanged for at great expense.
The seed floated quietly in his palm, its interior containing a mysterious image of the beginning of time.
Chen Fei closed his eyes and began to fully activate the Divine Palace Undying.
As the cultivation technique circulated, a dark golden luster appeared on his palm, and a vast and profound Daoist aura, carrying an undying will, slowly covered and enveloped the Primordial Seed of Time in his palm.
Chen Fei guided the power of the Primordial Seed of Time, along the specific meridians and acupoints of the Divine Palace, flowing towards the mysterious and profound future true body deep within his soul and body.
"Rumble..."
In an instant, Chen Fei's senses once again entered that illusory river that belonged to him, composed of countless fragments of time.
At the end of the long river, the true form of the future stands there.
The moment the future true form came into contact with the power of the Primordial Seed of Time, it suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.
That radiance represents the beginning and the completion of time; it seems to have added the last and most crucial piece to the puzzle for the future true form.
Countless fine, shimmering patterns imbued with the rhythms of time spread and intertwined wildly across the surface of the future true form, ultimately forming a perfect closed loop.
The aura of the future true form began to rise at a steady yet rapid pace, quickly approaching that theoretically ultimate realm.
Within the Realm of Return to Nothingness, although the River of Time was not visible to the naked eye, Chen Fei's body began to exude a strange, ancient charm, as if it had undergone the baptism of endless time.
Beneath his skin, the dark golden Dao patterns shone even deeper, as if establishing some profound connection with heaven and earth, and with time itself.
The surrounding space rippled slightly, and even the flow of time was subtly affected.
Time passed, and I don't know how much time had gone by.
When the last trace of power from the Primordial Seed of Time in his palm was completely absorbed, Chen Fei slowly stopped cultivating.
His future true form has already cultivated to its peak, reaching the perfect state of the fifteenth level limit.
Chen Fei's heart stirred, and he once again activated the method of communicating with his future true body within the Divine Palace's Imperishable Form.
"boom!"
A terrifying power, more immense and profound than ever before, projected from the end of time and instantly poured into Chen Fei's body.
This time, the fusion of power was smoother and more perfect. Although it did not reach the simple addition of the power of two fifteenth-level ultimate physiques, it still added at least about 70% of the physique power.
Moreover, when this superimposed physical strength is further amplified by the 60% amplification of the Divine Forbidden Heavenly Prison... the terrifying level of that power even made Chen Fei himself feel alarmed.
Moreover, Chen Fei keenly discovered that by using the Heavenly Union and the Sixteenth-Order Heavenly Origin Technique in this state to obtain the pseudo-Taicang Realm state, the duration of his combat power would exceed the original nine breaths.
A significant increase in physical strength means the ability to withstand greater power.
After finishing the experiment, Chen Fei let out a deep breath.
Chen Fei looked up and saw a streak of light flying from afar, hovering quietly in front of him—it was the Heavenly Origin Duel Talisman.
At the same time, the beacon key connected to the Xuan Yu Realm was also summoned, flew from afar, gently touched the battle talisman, and merged together.
In an instant, the merged battle rune shone brightly, and a blurry image of the Xuan Yu Realm appeared inside.
Chen Fei focused his mind on the battle talisman, attempting to activate the Heavenly Origin Duel.
"Om..."
The battle talisman trembled slightly, emitting a strange fluctuation of rules, as if it were exploring and locking onto a target on the distant other side.
A moment later, the trembling of the battle rune stopped, and the light stabilized. Chen Fei could sense that the lock-on had been successful and had not encountered any resistance.
"The Annihilation Lord is not within the sect's grand formation!" A cold glint flashed in Chen Fei's eyes.
Without any further hesitation, he began to fully activate the Heavenly Origin Battle Talisman.
"boom!"
The fused battle talisman burst forth with a soaring golden light. A power containing the supreme rules of the martial arts arena, following the causal connection provided by the beacon key, instantly traversed the endless void and descended upon the Xuan Yu Realm, countless miles away.
Xuan Yu Realm.
The Destroyer was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. In front of him floated a ball of light that kept changing shape. This was the core of the Xuan Yu Realm's origin, or the Heavenly Dao of the Xuan Yu Realm.
Recently, the Destroyer has encountered a major obstacle in his fusion with the Mysterious Feather Realm, causing his progress to be slow.
Beside him, Cang Huaying stood quietly, occasionally offering a few pointers on the key to merging the origins of the realms.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, the Destroyer's tightly closed eyes snapped open, his gaze filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Almost simultaneously, Cang Huaying, who was standing to the side, also sensed that sudden, strange fluctuation filled with the will of absolute rules. His eyes changed drastically, and his face revealed an undisguised shock.
"This is the aura of the rules of the Heavenly Origin Duel? How could the rules of the Heavenly Origin Duel have descended upon this Xuan Yu Realm!"
As a prodigy on the Tianyuan Ranking, Cang Huaying naturally knew about the Tianyuan Duel, but it was precisely because he knew the prerequisites for the Tianyuan Duel that he was so surprised.
