Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 162 - Harvesting the Fruits of Battle

Yuanfu realm martial artists liquefied the primeval qi in their dantian and transformed it into primeval force before shaping it into a primeval vessel resembling a human abode. Each advancement in their cultivation level added a new layer to this vessel, creating a structure akin to a pagoda. In the nine-tier Yuanfu realm, this architectural progression corresponded to nine stories.

Another fact was that Yuanfu realm experts could only have one primeval vessel.

However, the Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art challenged this norm. Utilizing their original primeval vessel as a foundation, Yuanfu realm practitioners could project nine illusory primeval vessels, amplifying their combat strength ninefold. This technique, exclusive to the Yuanfu realm, transcended the limitations of one's cultivation technique and seamlessly integrated with any approach.

Take Chen Fan, for example. If he formed his primeval vessel and practiced the Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel, he could project nine illusory primeval vessels in his dantian. When battling others, those nine illusory primeval vessels would erupt together, increasing his combat strength by a terrifying ninefold.

Even though he was just a Qi Grandmaster, he could already perform the heaven-defying feat of killing an early-stage, first-level Yuanfu realm expert. If he broke through to the Yuanfu realm, he could fight even second-level Yuanfu experts. Even if he wasn’t a match for them, second-level Yuanfu experts could forget about killing him.

If he advanced to the Yuanfu realm and practiced the Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art, he could fight with nine times his combat strength. This strength could easily kill a second-level Yuanfu realm martial artist and even contend with someone in the third level.

“This... Another secret art? My luck is insanely good!” Chen Fan was wild with joy inside.

Secret Arts, unlike ordinary cultivation methods or martial skills, were elusive and bestowed extraordinary effects.

However, according to what was written in the Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art, condensing nine illusory primeval vessels wouldn’t be easy.

Ordinary Yuanfu realm martial artists would struggle to condense even one illusory primeval vessel. Only those with outstanding talent and a strong physique could condense a second and a third illusory primeval vessel.

The difficulty increased tenfold for a fourth, and condensing all nine vessels was as challenging as reaching the heavens.

“It’s truly unexpected that an insignificant clan like the Tan Clan has such a powerful secret art. If that old fogey Tan Wanshan had managed to form even one illusory primeval vessel, I would have tasted defeat. How fortunate, how fortunate...”

Chen Fan felt some lingering fear.

Unexpectedly, the Tan Clan had a precious secret art that could cultivate illusory primeval vessels to increase combat strength.

If Tan Wanshan had cultivated an illusory primeval vessel and gone all out, he would have been comparable to a peak-stage, first-level Yuanfu expert. Not even Chen Fan could win against them, and it would have been impossible for the Chen Clan to win this battle.

“Very good, now this secret art is mine. The primeval qi in my dantian is already starting to liquefy and transform into primeval force. I’m already a peak Qi Grandmaster. It will soon completely transform into primeval force. I will start forming my primeval vessel then and try to break through to the Yuanfu realm.”

Chen Fan’s eyes shone. “My combat strength will rise explosively after I advance to the Yuanfu realm and practice the Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art. I’ll even be able to cross one or two cultivation levels and kill my enemies.

“It’s a pity I can only cultivate illusory primeval vessels. If I could also cultivate illusory golden cores at the Core Formation realm... In three years...hmph, I could use the power of nine illusory golden cores. I could even fight someone in the Divine Nascent realm with Core Formation realm cultivation!”

However, this was nothing but his fantasy.

After all, illusory primeval vessels and illusory golden cores were completely different, and this technique specialized in the former.

Still, Chen Fan felt satisfied.

With this Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art, he might not be invincible in the Yuanfu realm, but no one at the same cultivation level could be his match.

“Oh, right, Father’s injuries are about to be healed, and Grandfather can also advance to the Yuanfu realm with the Realm Breaking Pill. They can also practice this Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art.

“Even if they can’t form nine perfect illusory primeval vessels, their strength would greatly increase if they succeed in forming even one. It wouldn’t be a problem for them to fight against five people at the same cultivation level!”

Chen Fan’s eyes lit up, and he put away the tortoise shell, planning to find some time to study it properly.

......

The hidden treasure vault shimmered with wealth, brimming with valuable items.

There were various materials for forging weapons, demon beast furs, and other high-quality items.

Aside from this, there were chests after chests of Qi Gathering Pills and primeval stones, emitting pure primeval qi.

In a cold jade box were precious pills designed to replenish qi and blood, enhance intelligence, and purify and strengthen one's constitution.

“The Tan Clan is truly a fat sheep. With all these items, our clan members can produce many martial geniuses. Good, very good. And there is still the Liu Clan to go through. Even if they aren’t as great as the Tan Clan, they shouldn’t be all that bad.”

A rare smile of joy surfaced on Chen Fan’s face.

Strength in isolation meant little; the true path lay in elevating the entire clan's power.

He would have to leave the Great Chu Empire and compete in the outside world, so he couldn’t always remain in the clan to protect it.

Without a powerful expert overseeing the clan, the clan would be vulnerable to potential threats.

Now, with these pills and primeval stones, the Chen Clan’s overall strength would increase several-fold, and many experts would emerge in the future.

Even if Chen Fan were venturing outside, he wouldn’t need to worry about the clan’s matters.

Swish, swish.

Chen Fan clenched his fist. Three boxes came flying into his hand, each containing a demon core emanating boundless demonic power.

“Good. With these three demon cores, I can liquefy all my primeval qi quickly and try to advance to the Yuanfu realm!”

Chen Fan, without reservation, retained the three demon cores for his own use.

Despite having just produced a Yuanfu realm expert, the Tan Clan still had three demon cores. It was out of Chen Fan’s expectations.

After all, only tier-two demon beasts—demon beasts equivalent to Yuanfu realm experts—had demon cores inside them. In other words, three demon cores were equivalent to three Yuanfu realm demon beasts.

This definitely hadn’t been obtained by Tan Wanshan killing three Yuanfu realm demon beasts.

Of course, they were a clan with three hundred years of heritage. It wasn’t strange that they had three demon cores.

Others might be unable to use the demon cores and could only sell them, but Chen Fan didn’t have such concerns. His fully-formed Heaven Seizing Furnace could easily refine their energy into pure essence of vitality.

“Move all the treasures outside. Back at the clan, you will be rewarded accordingly!” Chen Fan shouted. The Chen Clan’s private troops moved even more vigorously.

Chests of treasures, servants, and clan members were transported away from the Tan Clan mansion, forming a steady stream as they entered the Chen Clan.

Aside from this, the two clans’ businesses were quickly taken over at the lead of the Chen Clan elders. Close to seventy percent of the businesses in Xuanyang City had become Chen Clan’s.

Chen Clan’s wealth increased by several levels.

Chen Fan led people to confiscate the two clans’ assets cleanly, leaving only two large mansions behind.

Of course, the two clans’ mansions had also become Chen Clan’s properties. No one dared to touch them.

Currently, the Chen Clan’s council hall was full of people. Chen Fan, Chen Zhengqing, and Chen Tianxiong were all here.
