Chapter 647: The Boundary Between Mountain Sea Realm

If only for the sake of obtaining pure Heaven and Earth energy, Chen Fei could completely crush the elemental stones, obtaining normal energy to place into the first spatial grid.

Then, he could use the second spatial grid to absorb the Energy here, contrasting the two grids, allowing impurities to remain in the second grid while the Energy transitioned to the other first grid.

The rule of the spatial grid is to only retain one thing, with one grid retaining impurities and the other retaining normal Energy, which is flawless.

With this in mind, Chen Fei’s gaze flickered slightly. It seemed that most of the major Energy issues had been solved in an instant, while the remaining part was how to store the Energy here into the spatial grid.

The Energy here, summarized with impurities, seemed somewhat vague.

In Chen Fei’s perception, this Energy seemed to have its own will inside. Or rather, there were other people or eerie wills within it.

Because of this will, outsiders like Chen Fei couldn’t absorb and manipulate the Energy here using conventional methods.

And the spatial grid couldn’t absorb entities with a master, just like how Chen Fei couldn’t use the spatial grid to directly absorb attacks from others.

“There are some people here who can use special items to manipulate and absorb the Energy. I need to get my hands on these items.”

A thought flashed through Chen Fei’s mind. Compared to purifying the Energy, obtaining the special items for Energy manipulation had already become much easier.

With the assistance of the spatial grid, Chen Fei didn’t need to worry about randomly absorbing the Energy here causing any adverse effects.

For example, being unable to leave this space permanently or being controlled by certain eerie or human forces at critical moments.

Such possibilities might be an inevitable result, much like the situation with the Black Divine Realm in the past.

Once you accepted the gifts of the Black Divine, you could never leave the Black Divine Realm until death because you had been branded, unable to control your own fate.

The Bewilderment City had gates but no guards; the gates just stood open. When Chen Fei entered, no one questioned him.

Or perhaps, for the people here, there were simply no outsiders who would come to the Bewilderment City. Those who did come were all people caught in this strange situation.

As for the Evil outside the city, whether it would rampage within the city or not wasn’t determined by the opening and closing of your city gates.

According to the information Chen Fei received, the frequency of Evil running rampant within the city had been increasing lately.

In the past, people in the city, aside from sacrificial days, could still manage to survive during other times. But now, even ordinary days had become unsafe.

In the Bewilderment City, there was no shortage of food and clothing. The fields within the city were quite miraculous; you could plant anything, and it would grow well.

In the Bewilderment City, it’s not accurate to say the food was excellent, but starvation would never occur.

Everyone was essentially kept captive, and the people of the Bewilderment City were aware of this fact.

This kind of life was despairing, but humans have a desire to survive, even if living like this. Many people were unwilling to give up.

You couldn’t see anyone on the streets, and there were no shops. Occasionally, you could hear desperate cries, but most of the time, it was silent, an eerie silence devoid of any people.

Yet, despite the city being home to no fewer than tens of thousands of people, even with deaths occurring every day, there were occasional newcomers.

But the Bewilderment City was like stagnant water, only those newcomers could bring a slight ripple, albeit just a small one.

The cultivators who had entered previously, upon seeing Chen Fei, brought him to a house.

There were many empty houses in the Bewilderment City, and one could enter freely.

At this moment, nearly ten cultivators at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm were gathered in the room, with the strongest among them being at the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Although everyone was currently integrating their elemental power into their Combined Aperture Tempering realm, the strength of their aura was still discernible at a glance. Unless severely injured and on the brink of death, their aura would not sharply decline.

Several cultivators at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm were not in good condition.

One of them was due to the constant absorption of their elemental power by this strange situation. Even a minor injury would worsen to a frightening extent. Healing required a tremendous amount of elemental power.

As a result, everyone’s elemental power was extremely depleted, including the one at the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Moreover, before coming to the Bewilderment City, everyone had encountered Evil.

This place seemed almost tailor-made for Evil, and humans here were heavily suppressed.

Those who could still be alive here at this moment had encountered Evil that wasn’t particularly strong. Yet even so, it caused some people to be forever lost along the way.

Inside the room, the cultivators at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm exchanged information with each other. As time passed, the number of cultivators arriving at the Bewilderment City gradually increased, but the strongest among them were still only at the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

The six peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, including Gu Danying, remained missing.

Some went to inquire about the ruler of the Bewilderment City. Although they were all unfortunate people who had been captured here, the Bewilderment City indeed had someone in charge now.

Perhaps it started as mutual assistance, but naturally, during this process, some people rose to positions of power.

But when they went to inquire, they found that all those people had disappeared without a trace. The entire Bewilderment City was now only populated by ordinary people.

Chen Fei frowned slightly. He had been planning to learn how to manipulate the Energy from those people, but before he could even begin, they had vanished.

Without much thought, he understood that these actions must have been carried out by people from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

But even now that he knew, there was no other method of counteraction.

Because at this moment, they were unable to overcome many of the Evil outside. Apart from the Evil, nobody knew where the people from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion were in this strange situation.

As for Gu Danying and the other five peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, they might have been separately imprisoned in certain places after being transported to this strange situation.

For the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, perhaps only these peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators posed a real threat. As for other Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, no matter how numerous, they would simply be worn down over time.

“Sacrifices, continuously capturing people, grudges…”

Chen Fei looked up at the sky above the Bewilderment City. Were they nurturing the Evil here?

Was the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul also here? With the power of the

Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, even the two peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators from the Shadow Abyss Sect couldn’t overcome it in a short time.

Out of those six peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, only Gu Danying probably had the confidence to single-handedly slay the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, and even then, it was because Gu Danying possessed techniques left behind by the Mountain Sea Realm.

Otherwise, judging solely by their individual strengths, it was really hard to say who was stronger between Gu Danying and the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul.

If Gu Danying and the others were eliminated one by one, the remaining Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators would be like fish in a barrel. In no time, they would become fodder for the Evil.

Even without the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul making a move, many Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators couldn’t resist the other Evil within the strange situation. As time passed, this situation would only worsen because everyone’s elemental power wouldn’t hold up.

To break the deadlock, action needed to be taken early. But now, it seemed that even the path to breaking the deadlock couldn’t be seen!

A stalemate!

Moreover, why did the Fallen Heaven Pavilion keep nurturing the Evil? What did it have to do with betraying the Thousand Feathers Alliance?

Could nurturing the Evil also produce a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator?

As night fell, the number of Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators in the Bewilderment City had exceeded thirty, with five of them at the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. However, the peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators were still nowhere to be found.

Everyone already had some guesses in their hearts, but no one dared to voice them out.

Chen Fei sat cross-legged in a house, organizing the information he had gathered during the day, contemplating the next strategy.

This strange situation might indeed be related to the Fallen Heaven Pavilion’s cultivation of Mountain Sea Realm cultivators. Moreover, considering the situation, they might be close to success.

Leaving aside other factors, just by looking at the Energy within the strange situation, the situation was already very clear.

What kind of strength of will could affect the Energy to the extent that so many Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators were helpless? Perhaps only the existence transcending the Combined Aperture Tempering realm could.

Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators didn’t possess this kind of ability, even the peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators. This was almost like a domain, somewhat similar to the domain suppression exhibited by Yan Liu in the past.

Or perhaps a more apt comparison would be with Master Haiyue’s Haiyue Cave, where many rules were set by Master Haiyue himself. Anyone whose power didn’t exceed Master Haiyue’s had to obey the rules within the Haiyue Cave.

“We’re probably getting close, but we haven’t truly broken through yet. The critical point between the Combined Aperture Tempering realm and the Mountain Sea Realm?”

Chen Fei recalled the situation he encountered in the Strange Heart Realm before. It was probably the work of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion as well. The endless Evil within the Thousand Feathers Alliance couldn’t be separated from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

Only when there is hope of breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm would the Fallen Heaven Pavilion gamble like this. As for the lives and deaths of others within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, they are simply inconsequential in the eyes of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

As long as a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator appears, and even if they later decide to join forces with the Thousand Feathers Alliance to fight against the Monster King and expel or kill the Monster King, Min Yanlu and the others would still be willing to overlook the actions of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

It’s unreasonable, but sometimes reality is just like that.

Might makes right; that’s just how it goes.

As long as the power is strong enough, many previous matters can be negotiable.

“All of us Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators who have been transported here, along with the other inhabitants of the Bewilderment City, and even the Evil outside, will ultimately become nutrients, stepping stones for those who enter the Mountain Sea Realm!”

A sudden realization dawned on Chen Fei. If they couldn’t find a way out, everyone here would die.

Facing off against Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, no matter how many Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators there are, it would be futile unless you could trap the Mountain Sea Realm cultivators in one place. Only by gathering enough Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators would there be a possibility of wearing down the Mountain Sea Realm cultivators to death.

Otherwise, with the speed at which Mountain Sea Realm cultivators can move, you wouldn’t stand a chance of hitting them.

Chen Fei never considered fighting against Mountain Sea Realm cultivators. What he thought about more was finding a way out of here!

“Ah!”

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed within the Bewilderment City, but before the scream could finish, it abruptly stopped.

In just a moment, a faint scent of blood permeated the city.

Chen Fei stepped out of the house and noticed that a blood-red mist had risen on the streets, enveloping the Bewilderment City in its eerie embrace.

Subconsciously, Chen Fei looked up at the sky. The once black resentment had now turned crimson.

Like an abyss, boundless and deep!
