Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques-Chapter 1174 - 1130 Time Rule
Chapter 1174: Chapter 1130 Time Rule
The human cultivators at the Rule Integration Realm looked somewhat bewildered towards the distant horizon, where amidst the extraordinary visions of heaven and earth, each cultivator perceived different scenes based on their innate talents.
However, there was one commonality—many of the past confusions about their martial arts were resolved at this moment.
It was as if the miraculous visions were specifically set up for them to reveal the profound mysteries of the martial arts they had learned.
The breakthrough to the Open Heaven Realm was a significant event for most races, and normally, their offspring or disciples would be present to observe it.
During the breakthrough process from the Rule Integration Realm to the Open Heaven Realm, a cultivator would perform all the techniques they had learned to their fullest.
This performance, more effective than any words, struck directly to the soul.
...
At this moment, as Chen Fei achieved his breakthrough into the Open Heaven Realm, the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique—a martial art that integrated the Emperor inheritances of all human lineage—naturally exhibited its brilliance in full display.
The martial arts currently practiced by humans in the Rule Integration Realm all stemmed from the Emperor inheritances. Naturally, many insights could be gleaned from what was manifesting in Chen Fei’s progress.
Qiu Gongzhi’s body slightly quivered due to the surging emotions he felt.
While other human cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm were still puzzled and unsure of what martial arts Chen Fei had practiced to produce such a magnificent scene, Qiu Gongzhi had already guessed a possibility.
Even Xia Yingzhen and Wang Yanyu, the two human imperial sovereigns, hadn’t come to realize this yet since they were still too far from reaching the Open Heaven Realm.
Only Qiu Gongzhi, who controlled three secondary rules and was in the midst of comprehending a fourth, had the most sensitive intuition towards these fluctuations.
Qiu Gongzhi not only felt grandeur within the distant extraordinary visions but also sensed endless destruction along with overwhelming vitality.
Destruction and vitality are inherently opposing forces, but during the process of creating heaven and earth, they perfectly merged into one.
The human race did not possess the Open Heaven Realm, but they collected all rumors about it with utmost diligence.
They sought to deduce a possible method for breakthrough from these gathered clues and traces.
Xia Yingzhen and Wang Yanyu noticed the oddity in Qiu Gongzhi, and as they saw the multitude of human martial arts reflected in Chen Fei, they, too, began to comprehend something.
“Brother Qiu, do you think it’s true?” Xia Yingzhen’s voice trembled slightly. Since reaching the Peak of the Rule Integration Realm, it had been a long time since he felt such a way.
Even when Wu Ze and the Evil Clans from the Ice Race had invaded, Xia Yingzhen felt angered and helpless inside but always maintained his composure.
But now, the mere conjecture was too shocking, yet it also made the human race irresistibly drawn to find out, stirring a wave of excitement in Xia Yingzhen.
“I don’t know.” Qiu Gongzhi shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the scene unfolding before them.
Xia Yingzhen didn’t ask further, and the three of them waited in silence for the final outcome.
Meanwhile, other human cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm were still gaining insights into the martial arts from the distant extraordinary visions of heaven and earth.
And for Chen Fei, as the dust settled within the source point space inside his body, the breakthrough into the Open Heaven Realm had, in essence, been completed.
The most dangerous and challenging part was already behind him, and what was left was just the natural unfolding and transformation of his essence, energy, spirit, and soul.
In Chen Fei’s perception, the first to change was his soul.

When compared to the soul during the Rule Integration Realm, the most pronounced change for the Open Heaven Realm soul was the immense vitality infused within it.
This vitality enabled an Open Heaven Realm cultivator with an injured soul to restore themselves quickly, much like flesh and blood—usually, any minor soul injuries could be completely healed within days.
It also made one’s perception of heaven and earth sharper.
Chen Fei, while in the Rule Integration Realm, had already had a small taste of this, due to his state of a small Open Heaven Realm.
Latterly, with the Great Completion of the Sixth Rank Celestial Suppression and the rule of strength enveloping his physique, Chen Fei profoundly felt the difference of the Open Heaven Realm.
Now, as his soul transformed, Chen Fei discovered that his perception of heaven and earth could be even more delicate.
Not to mention other aspects, just the range of his perception expanded from just over two thousand li to more than six thousand li.
With a broad sweep of perception, Chen Fei could even extend this range to over ten thousand li.
Besides the transformation of the soul, there were tremendous changes in the essence force as well.
The power of the Open Heaven Realm possesses the Breaking Dao Effect. Chen Fei had already encountered this during his fight with the Oddity from the Ice Race, Lv Ji.
However, at that time, thanks to the body attuned for the Open Heaven Realm and the elemental energy of destruction from the small Open Heaven Realm, Chen Fei forcibly withstood Lv Ji’s Breaking Dao Effect.
But other cultivators at the Rule Integration Realm don’t have as many characteristics as Chen Fei, and when faced with the power of the Open Heaven Realm, the secondary rules they control would be forcibly broken.
Under normal circumstances, the Breaking Dao characteristic of the Open Heaven Realm only applies to those below the same rank and hardly affects those of the same rank.
But Chen Fei’s essence force had a Breaking Dao Effect that was not only targeted at those below the Open Heaven Realm, but even when facing the Open Heaven Realm, it possessed extraordinary effects.
This effect stemmed from Chen Fei’s initial Divine Power of the God Slaying Sword, which had the Forget Technique effect; it was essentially a faint version of the Open Heaven power.
Chen Fei, who now had four secondary rules of earth, water, fire, and wind, in addition to the Space Main Rule, broke through to the Open Heaven Realm, causing his Source Point Space to expand rapidly. Moreover, the Divine Powers he initially possessed were greatly enhanced.
Aside from the God Slaying Sword which could produce the Forget Technique characteristic against the Open Heaven Realm, the effects of Chen Fei’s other two Divine Powers naturally wouldn’t be weak either.
Indestructible Vision, initially, meant that even if one’s defense was breached, as long as there was still strength left in the body, one could maintain peak condition with no concept of being injured or severely wounded.
Now, Indestructible Vision went a step further. If Chen Fei’s defenses were breached and the strength within his body was exhausted, bringing him close to a dying state,
Chen Fei would revert to peak condition within the span of nine breaths.
However, once the nine breaths elapsed, Chen Fei’s injuries would erupt in full force, plunging him into true death’s door.
Indestructible essentially bought Chen Fei an additional nine breaths, as if it had dragged a copy of Chen Fei’s physical state from the river of future time and replicated it in the present.
To some extent, this already had the semblance of the Time Rule’s shadow.
Indestructible Vision, Chen Fei’s first Divine Power, became increasingly mystical as Chen Fei’s realms of cultivation improved.
The other Divine Power, Planting Beans into Soldiers, was not as mystical as Indestructible Vision, but rather straightforwardly strengthened based on its original foundation.
Originally, Chen Fei had nine warriors at the early stages of the Rule Integration Realm. Now, as Chen Fei had broken through to the Open Heaven Realm, the warriors he summoned possessed the basic strength of the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm, and their number was one hundred and eight.
Twelve warriors could merge to form a Peak Rule Integration Realm warrior, controlling one of the secondary rules of earth, water, fire, or wind, as Chen Fei could specify.
Nine Peak Rule Integration Realm warriors were quite formidable, since they were indestructible, and Chen Fei could summon as many as he wished, though the total number could not be increased.
But for Chen Fei’s current Open Heaven Realm cultivation, it didn’t provide substantial help.
Therefore, if it were only this kind of change, the Divine Power Planting Beans into Soldiers might not become worthless, but it would likely seldom come into play in the future.
Fortunately, Chen Fei’s breakthrough in such a manner, with the main rule of space and the four secondary rules, indeed made him different in all aspects.
The Peak Rule Integration Realm warriors, thanks to the formidable inclusiveness of the Space Main Rule, could further merge.
Four warriors of earth, water, fire, and wind could merge with each other, directly evolving into an Open Heaven Realm Early Stage warrior.
That is to say, Chen Fei could directly summon two warriors at the Open Heaven Realm Early Stage.
Such Open Heaven Realm warriors, in terms of battle strength, were virtually no different from cultivators who had just broken through to the Open Heaven Realm. Since the warriors could employ Indestructible Vision, they had no evident weaknesses in physique or soul.
In the future, as Chen Fei cultivates sufficiently powerful Sixth-Tier martial arts, the strength of his warriors will continue to grow.
With this breakthrough, Chen Fei effectively became the equivalent of three individuals at the Open Heaven Realm. Probably no one has expected that an unremarkable skill like Planting Beans into Soldiers could be enhanced by Chen Fei to such an unbelievable extent.
With his elemental energy and soul greatly strengthened, Chen Fei’s rule body that had already reached the Open Heaven Realm Middle Stage, with this breakthrough, further intensified.
Normally, once the physique reached this level, it would not be possible to improve any further.
But Chen Fei’s breakthrough method unleashed such powerful Open Heaven forces that it catapulted his rule body to the initial stages of the Open Heaven Realm Late Stage.
This was a strength that only those who practiced Seventh Rank Celestial Suppression to Great Perfection could achieve, yet Chen Fei resolved a good portion of it in advance.
Of course, if one truly cultivated Seventh Rank Celestial Suppression to Great Perfection, the rule body would reach the peak level of the Open Heaven Realm Late Stage, not just the initial stage.
Having such an overreaching physique allowed Chen Fei to execute various moves without any restraint.
At the Peak of Rule Integration Realm, Chen Fei could condense the space within a hundred miles in the palm of his hand and unleash an intensely powerful attack.
At the Open Heaven Realm Early Stage, under normal circumstances, Chen Fei could condense the space within five hundred miles in his hand and add the four secondary rules of earth, water, fire, and wind, as well as the rule of strength, to refine and strike out together.
And now, with such an exaggerated physique, Chen Fei could forcefully control the space within a thousand miles in his hands. The difference in attack strength was not as simple as a mere doubling.
The vital energy of heaven and earth from within tens of thousands of miles rushed towards Chen Fei’s location, filling his Source Point Space and constantly purifying his essence force.
The majority of the Open Heaven Realm’s transformations were by now complete, leaving only the final touches to be slowly finished by the scouring of the vital energy of heaven and earth.
This is known as the stabilizing period upon entering the Open Heaven Realm, which lasts several years. If one has enough mid-grade Primordial Crystals, this time can be reduced.
As for the exertion of battle strength, naturally, there is a slight effect.
However, Chen Fei didn’t care about that. With the main rule of space and the four secondary rules at his command, Chen Fei’s rate of absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth was several times that of others at the Open Heaven Realm Early Stage, and his stabilizing period could be completed within a month.
As for that slight impact on battle strength, it was even less within Chen Fei’s consideration.
The dark veil of the Cangqiong Domain surrounding Chen Fei dispersed, and hundreds of people from the Rule Integration Realm of the human race looked at Chen Fei with bright, expectant, and excited eyes.
