Chapter 122: Making Something Out of Nothing
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At the camp outside the Strange Wind Realm.
Sun Quan looked at the entrance of the Strange Wind Realm. At this moment, it was trembling slightly.
Sun Quan frowned. Once the entrance of the Strange Wind Realm was opened, it would be very difficult for the Evil King to close the entrance from inside.
Because the array device had already locked the entrance, if the Evil King wanted to forcefully close it, it would have to consume the power of the node in the Strange Wind Realm.
The disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect were cleaning up the nodes. The Evil King’s method was like drinking poison to quench thirst. Moreover, this entrance would be forcefully opened in six hours at most.
“Elder, does the Strange Wind Realm want to kill our disciples inside?” Someone asked worriedly.
“Open this entrance in four hours.”
Sun Quan sighed slightly. He had failed to take responsibility for this matter. Because of other matters, he left halfway, but this happened when he came back.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he would be guarding the Strange Wind Realm to prevent any accidents.
In the Strange Wind Realm, Chen Fei tried to use his core soul energy, the jade pendant, and the Tranquil Origin Technique. All these methods were unable to shake the power in his mind. In fact, with just a slight stimulation, Chen Fei’s brain seemed to be about to explode.
“What the hell is this thing!”
Chen Fei took a deep breath and began to operate the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.
Now, the only hope was the most mysterious cultivation technique that Chen Fei had.
As the Suppressing Dragon Elephant revolved, the flesh and blood of its entire body seemed to become active, from its skin to its internal organs. In the end, it even directly entered Chen Fei’s mind.
Buzz!”
The strange energy trembled slightly and began to be pulled bit by bit.
It’s effective!
Chen Fei could not help but feel delighted. He began to operate the Suppressing Dragon Elephant with all his might. As time passed, 90% of the energy in his mind was pulled down from his mind and entered his body.
At this point, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant lost its gentle pull. It instantly stepped forward and tore the energy apart, then digested it into Chen Fei’s flesh.
Chen Fei opened his eyes and let out a breath of turbid air. He did not expect the effect of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant to be so domineering.
Body Subduing was controlling everything in the body. It was not an exaggeration. Even though he was only at the beginner stage, he had already displayed his disdainful side.
This energy can be removed at any time, but Brother Ge and the others are still there.”
Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and decided to go to the entrance first to see if it was really sealed.
Chen Fei’s figure flashed and deliberately circled around the original courtyard for several hundred meters before returning to the city gate.
The entrance has really disappeared.”
Chen Fei looked ahead. There should have been a cave entrance there, but it was no longer there. Chen Fei stood on the spot with a slightly conflicted expression.
The safest way was naturally to stand here and wait for the sect to rescue him. However, from Fang Qinghong’s tone, it was obvious that the sect would not be able to enter within two hours.
In other words, Chen Fei was fine standing here, but Guo Hongjie and the others were dead.
“Let’s go and see what those three copper beads are for.”
Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and decided to give it a try. However, he would definitely not return to Fang Qinghong. Chen Fei’s small body was not even enough to be beaten by Fang Qinghong with one finger.
On the other hand, the copper bead that Fang Qinghong had been thinking about might have some other changes.
Thinking of this, Chen Fei carefully rushed toward the copper bead.
He did not know if it was Chen Fei’s misconception, but the entire Strange Wind Realm had become even quieter than before. Chen Fei used the jade pendant to enhance his senses and realized that it was really not Chen Fei’s illusion.
In Chen Fei’s perception, those black lines that were originally quite active had all quieted down at this moment, as if they were brewing something.
“It can’t be related to that person, right?” Chen Fei immediately thought of Fang Qinghong.
Why was the other party in this Strange Wind Realm with such a cultivation?
What was the purpose of looking for those three copper beads? Did the Strange Wind Realm become like this because of Fang Qinghong’s attack?
A bunch of questions appeared in Chen Fei’s mind, but no one gave Chen Fei an answer. Chen Fei could only search for it himself.
Chen Fei finally arrived at the general location of the first copper bead after carefully running all the way.
However, Chen Fei didn’t dare to move forward anymore. In his perception, there were dozens of black spots all around him. The feeling that each black spot gave Chen Fei was not inferior to the illusion that had just appeared.
If Chen Fei dared to take a few more steps forward, these black spots would probably swarm over and drown Chen Fei.
Chen Fei used his perception to scan the surroundings in detail. There were no gaps or routes. All possible places were occupied by these black spots. There were no blind spots at all.
“How do I get in?”
Chen Fei stood where he was and frowned. Looking at the strange energy in his mind, his heart moved slightly and he used his core soul energy to stimulate it.
Buzz!
The surroundings trembled slightly, and a small ripple appeared. Chen Fei hesitated for a moment before stepping into it. He found a lonely stone tower standing there, and the copper bead was at the top of the stone tower.
“That simple?”
Chen Fei was a little surprised. If Fang Qinghong really wanted this copper bead, he should be able to control a person if he was careful. Why did he have to do this?
Chen Fei carefully stepped forward and did not discover any danger. In a few steps, Chen Fei arrived at the top of the tower.
Looking at the copper bead in front of him, Chen Fei pondered for a moment, took out the dagger at his waist, and gently tapped the copper bead.
Nothing happened. There was only a slight sound when the dagger collided with the copper bead.
“What exactly is this?”
Chen Fei’s brows furrowed slightly as he thought about whether he should use the dagger to remove the copper bead. Just as he raised his head, he found that the surroundings had completely changed.
A monk was standing below the stone tower and smiling at Chen Fei. The surrounding trees were shady, and it was no longer the deathly still appearance of the Strange Wind Realm.
Illusion?
He quickly circulated the Tranquil Origin Technique, but there was no change in the surroundings. Chen Fei’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He glanced at his bosom. The awakening incense was still there. Chen Fei quickly lit it. As the fragrance wafted, there was still no change in the surroundings.
This is an illusion, but it’s not completely an illusion. This was in the benefactor’s heart, but it was not completely in the benefactor’s heart.” The monk looked at Chen Fei and smiled.
Chen Fei didn’t reply. The jade pendant glowed and strengthened the Tranquil Origin Technique, but it had no effect.
Chen Fei decisively took out a red candle. At this time, no matter how apprehensive he was, he had to give it a try.
The monk smiled as he watched Chen Fei light the red candle and then extinguish it without stopping him.
Chen Fei’s heart trembled. This Strange Wind Realm was too strange. Encountering Fang Qinghong was already abnormal enough, but at least Chen Fei could roughly guess what method Fang Qinghong had used.
But here, Chen Fei did not know if he was in the illusion or not. If this was an illusion, why couldn’t he tell at all?
However, it was not an illusion. Could it be that he had been teleported out of the Strange Wind Realm in a short moment?
“Where is this place?” Chen Fei jumped down from the stone pagoda and asked the monk warily.
Heart Realm!
The monk looked at Chen Fei and smiled. “Benefactor, you still don’t understand where the Heart Realm is. However, it doesn’t matter. This doesn’t affect what you’re going to do next.”
“What am I going to do?”
“Benefactor, there’s no need to be like this. Isn’t that Heart Pearl your goal?” The monk pointed at the copper beads on the stone pagoda.
“Can I take it just because I want it?”Chen Fei asked in a low voice.
“You can take it, but if you want to leave this place, you have to pass some tests.” The monk maintained his smile, as if nothing in the world could surprise him.
“Then can I leave now?”Chen Fei suddenly asked.
“No, since you came here, I have to accept the test.” The monk shook his head.
Chen Fei frowned slightly. It seemed that as long as he touched this Heart Pearl, he would be considered to have entered the trap. In fact, everything had already begun when he saw the stone tower.
“Someone asked me to take three Heart Pearls. Do you know his purpose?”
Chen Fei held the dagger and drew the three copper beads in his mind on the ground. He raised his head and looked at the monk.
“The Heart Pearl is a tool. If you are trapped by the Heart Pearl Formation, you can only get rid of it by getting the array.” The monk smiled.
“Doesn’t the formation break when the formation tool moves?”
Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly. Although he did not know how to set up an array, he still knew some basic array knowledge.
“This is the Heart Array, it has no form.”
“Then do you know who the person trapped in this heart array is?” Chen Fei asked.
Chen Fei was very curious about the background of a sealed expert who had appeared in a Strange Wind Realm.
“I don’t know.” The monk shook his head.
“Is the one sealed a human or a ghost?”
The monk did not urge him to take the test. Chen Fei wanted to see if he could get more information from here to provide more reference for his plans.
“Half-human, half-monster.”
Chen Fei’s eyes widened slightly. Although he had already guessed it before, he was still a little surprised when he really knew. There was actually a half-human, half-monster existence.
“Can I control this Heart Array?”Chen Fei asked.
If he could control this Heart Array, then he could control Fang Qinghong with the Heart Array. At that time, everything would be easily solved.
“I can’t say.” The monk shook his head and refused to answer Chen Fei’s question for the first time.
“Then…”
“Benefactor, the time is up. If you don’t take the test now, you will fail and be trapped in the Heart Realm forever.” The monk interrupted Chen Fei.
Chen Fei could not help but take a deep breath and said, “What is the test of the Heart Realm?”
It’s not difficult. I’ll do something, and you just have to copy me. If you can do it, then let me do something for you, and let me imitate you. We will continue doing this until one of us fails.”
Chen Fei frowned. The difficulty of this test depended entirely on how difficult the other party was.
Can I do it first and you imitate me?” Chen Fei asked in a low voice.
Sure.” The monk nodded and didn’t insist on the order.
“Then master, watch carefully. I’m going to perform a technique called creating something out of nothing. Master, please watch!”
Chen Fei took a step back and showed his hands. He even rolled up his sleeves to show that there was nothing on his arms.
Then, Chen Fei grabbed forward with his right hand, and a roasted chicken was pulled out by Chen Fei.
The roast chicken was still warm, as if it had just come out of the oven.
The monk’s originally calm expression froze. Light swirled in his eyes, but he stood there without moving..
