Chapter 1068: Chapter 1024: The Feeling of Being a Proud Son of Heaven

More than 260,000 low-grade Primordial Crystals, on average contributed over fifty thousand each.

The wealth of someone in the Rule Integration Realm indeed correlates positively with their cultivation, unless encountering special circumstances such as a breakthrough in martial arts or the need to purchase some precious treasures.

Otherwise, in this world where mighty power belongs to oneself, the stronger one is, the more wealth they will possess.

Compared to Meng Ji’s approximate thirty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals, Lou Yu, who had mastered several fragments of rules—even upwards of twenty—was truly wealthier.

Moreover, Lou Yu, with five such pieces, was still in an upward trend with a considerable distance from his lifespan limit, so he wouldn’t think about using low-grade Primordial Crystals to buy any life-extending elixirs.

As for the precious treasures related to lifespan, none were cheap; Meng Ji and a few others had likely spent a lot of money on this.

“Even with a thousand Primordial Crystals a day, I could continue cultivating using cash for more than two hundred days,” he exclaimed.

Chen Fei’s eyes sparkled as he proceeded to collect all the low-grade Primordial Crystals into the Concealment Bell.

To spend a thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals daily, let alone the entire human race, even considering the surrounding races, no one in the Rule Integration Realm would cultivate like Chen Fei.

For those in the Rule Integration Realm, apart from better absorption of vital energy from heaven and earth daily, low-grade Primordial Crystals are used to purchase precious treasures.

Just for more epiphany, smashing low-grade Primordial Crystals, no one in the Rule Integration Realm would do this.

Because for those in the Rule Integration Realm, a cultivating environment rich in epiphany allows for better understanding of martial arts.

But they cannot have continuous insights into martial arts popping up in their minds like Chen Fei, hence they can’t talk about using epiphany to let these insights undergo fission.

Thus, smashing Primordial Crystals just to enrich epiphany is completely wasteful and incomprehensible to others.

Chen Fei continued organizing the spiritual materials within the five mystical treasures, his smile growing wider as he did so.

An hour later, Chen Fei, satisfied, categorized all the spiritual materials and collected them into the Concealment Bell.

The Concealment Bell, not yet transformed into a mystical treasure, benefitted from hosting low-grade Primordial Crystals and sixth-tier spiritual materials, aiding its understanding of the mysteries of rules.

If all the spiritual materials from the five mystical treasures were sold, they could roughly gather nearly eighty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals for Chen Fei.

If he were patient enough to sell them slowly, he could even fetch a price of up to ninety thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

Chen Fei, however, didn’t have much time to slowly sell the spiritual materials and would definitely look for an opportunity to sell these materials in batches to exchange for low-grade Primordial Crystals.

Then, adding the original low-grade Primordial Crystals he had, the daily expense of a thousand could sustain nearly a year of his cultivation.

“Murdering and arson for a golden belt, the speed of making money is just too fast!” he said.

Chen Fei felt somewhat emotional in his gaze, knowing that he could not accumulate such wealth through normal means.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t earn so much, but that daily cultivation in the Rule Integration Realm was costly; earning a lot and saving a significant amount were two different matters.

Besides low-grade Primordial Crystals and spiritual materials, the five mystical treasures themselves represented a vast fortune.

Even though the five mystical treasures currently lacked spirituality, they could still fetch the basic price of mystical treasures, about thirty to forty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals, which shouldn’t be a problem.

Jiguang City had a black market, or rather, places like this existed within the cities of the human race.

If sunshine falls on you, shadows shall form behind; let alone within a race.

Just as the Emperor knew, there would inevitably be traitors within the human race, just as humans might have placed their own spies among other alien races.

When in need of low-grade Primordial Crystals, Chen Fei could change his aura and dispose of one or two mystical treasures to exchange for sufficient low-grade Primordial Crystals to continue cultivating.

For now, the low-grade Primordial Crystals were plentiful, so Chen Fei was not in a rush to sell the mystical treasures.

The five portions of Rule Integration Realm early stage spiritual essence flew out from his sleeves and directly surged into the Concealment Bell.

Since they had been plundered of their talents and Lou Yu and the others had used forbidden techniques, the quantity of spiritual essence wasn’t large.

But all five portions should be sufficient for the Concealment Bell to elevate to a mystical treasure.

The last time it failed to breakthrough, the Concealment Bell was just slightly lacking in foundation; now, with this supplementation, there was absolutely no reason for it to fail again.

If it still failed, it could only mean that the Concealment Bell was probably only suitable to remain a top-grade profound treasure, and not destined to become a mystical treasure.

Chen Fei’s finger twitched slightly, a sword energy swiftly emerged, rapidly carving formations within the cavern.

It wasn’t any major formations—just a simple Gathering Essence Array, which was all that Chen Fei required because he was about to start smashing low-grade Primordial Crystals.

If there were no formations to gather elemental energy, the epiphany would immediately dissipate into the surrounding space, rendering the thousand low-grade Primordial stones he planned to use wasted.

In a matter of moments, a formation rose within the cavern, causing a slight fluctuation of the vital energy of heaven and earth within a hundred miles, slowly flowing towards the direction of the cavern.

Observing the effect of the formations, Chen Fei nodded slightly; two thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals appeared around him, a thousand of which were directly smashed.

The Gathering Essence Array’s epiphany surged, and Chen Fei started operating the Fifth-Tier Celestial Suppression. Within his sea of consciousness, insights about the Sixth-Tier Celestial Suppression appeared.

Under the effect of the epiphany, the insights began to undergo fission.

During this cleaving process, Chen Fei suddenly perceived something different from before.

In the past, when an epiphany appeared in his sea of consciousness, driven by epiphanies under the influence of spirituality, Chen Fei would begin to analyze this insight and extend new understanding based on it.

From this process, it was evident that for epiphanies to undergo cleaving, the key factors were Chen Fei’s own insight and also the richness of the spirituality.

Previously, Chen Fei’s inherent insight could hardly change; to improve, each breakthrough in his cultivation realm would enhance his insight.

Therefore, Chen Fei always chose to elevate the spirituality in his cultivating environment. With increased spirituality, the speed of epiphany cleaving would also rise.

This time in his cultivation, the level of spirituality was still equivalent to one thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals, but Chen Fei’s talent, after refining five early-stage Rule Integration Realm materials, had significantly improved from before.

What it meant to be a “genius,” Chen Fei thoroughly experienced it this time.

Although he had not yet reached Kuang Xingfeng’s ability to triumph beyond his own tier, his achievement was indeed remarkable.

Such a degree of talent now evidently induced a significant change in epiphany cleaving.

Previously, Chen Fei estimated that using one thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals for a day would double the speed of cultivation.

Now, after cultivating for a while, Chen Fei roughly calculated that the speed of cultivation had increased by one and a half times.

Due to the increase in insight, the amount of epiphany cleaving was immediately apparent.

Chen Fei opened his eyes, a slight smile inadvertently appearing on his face as he looked at the surrounding low-grade Primordial Crystals. He hesitated for a moment before shattering another thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

The level of spirituality within the Gathering Essence Array suddenly increased considerably.

One thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals a day is the most cost-effective consumption method, but definitely not the fastest in terms of increasing cultivation speed.

Chen Fei had tried before; shattering two thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals could increase the cultivation speed to one and four tenths, not even one and a half times.

Consuming twice as much only enhanced efficiency by forty percent.

At that time, with only several tens of thousands of low-grade Primordial Crystals in hand, Chen Fei would definitely opt for a method that offered better value.

Now, the quantity of low-grade Primordial Crystals was still quite sufficient; even if he used two thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals every day, it could support around half a year of Chen Fei’s cultivation.

If five mystical treasures were also sold, it could sustain several more months.

As for shattering even more low-grade Primordial Crystals, the increase in efficiency would become progressively lower, as the spirituality dissipated too quickly.

Such a method of consumption, even if possessing several hundreds of thousands of low-grade Primordial Crystals, would cause Chen Fei great distress, and it really wasn’t suitable for the current Chen Fei.

Chen Fei closed his eyes and began to operate the Fifth-Tier Celestial Suppression, the Desolate Night God Slaying Sword, and also vibrated the Source Point Space inside his body.

For a time, insights into the Sixth-Tier Celestial Suppression, the Desolate Universe God Splitting Sword, and the Space Rules incessantly emerged in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness.

Through the spirituality and Chen Fei’s own insight deduction, the epiphanies began to cleave, and then were absorbed by Chen Fei.

Two thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals, combined with Chen Fei’s current insight, directly increased the cultivation speed to between two and two and a half times.

Including the original expected pace, using two thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals for a day equated to cultivating for slightly more than three days.

Originally, cultivating the Sixth-Tier Celestial Suppression using normal methods would take nearly a hundred years to reach Great Completion.

If the low-grade Primordial Crystals in Chen Fei’s hands remained sufficient, this period could be shortened to just over thirty years.

Thirty-some years to incorporate a complete rule of strength into his physique; just pondering this made the significance clear.

The Desolate Universe God Splitting Sword, originally needing about fifteen years, could, with sufficient resources, reach Great Completion in less than five years.

With the Great Completion stage Desolate Universe God Splitting Sword, then cultivating essence, energy, spirit, and soul, and even simplifying Space Rules, Chen Fei breaking through to the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm might only take a few years.

A few years to break through a realm in the Rule Integration Realm — if spoken of, would sound like a mere fantasy, but Chen Fei was confident he could truly accomplish it.

Of course, all these premises hinge on his ability to keep up; only then will Chen Fei’s cultivation pace not diminish.

“If talent could be further improved, reaching Kuang Xingfeng’s level, cultivation speed would increase even more,” he mused.

A thought crossed Chen Fei’s mind, clearly seeing the life-changing potential of possessing the Bronze Rune.

With his current talent, Chen Fei actually had a high probability of usurping the talent of any early-stage Rule Integration Realm opponent he slew.

After all, as long as Chen Fei’s talent was still inferior, he could plunder a part of the opponent’s.

Only slightly stronger than Hua Zhichun’s talent, many alien races capable of breaking through to the Rule Integration Realm naturally possessed a talent that surpassed Chen Fei’s.

A slight smile appeared on Chen Fei’s lips as he then completely immersed his heart and mind into his sea of consciousness, seriously deducing and absorbing the epiphanies.

As Chen Fei was cultivating, the war outside Jiguang City had reached a stalemate.

It wasn’t just Jiguang City; the other three human race cities under siege were likewise caught in this situation.
