“Why do you want to see me?” Min Yanlu looked at Chen Fei calmly.

Chen Fei had discovered some information about people aligning with sea demons, but Min Yanlu didn’t seem to place any particular importance or enthusiasm towards Chen Fei because of this. Being willing to meet Chen Fei was already considered a reward for discovering the information about the Formless Realm Formation.

“I have found some information about individuals who have allied with sea demons,” Chen Fei cut to the chase.

For strong practitioners like Min Yanlu in the Mountain Sea Realm, polite words held no interest. Chen Fei had to convey the matter that needed to be explained in the quickest way possible.

“Oh? Have you captured one of them?”

A hint of interest appeared on Min Yanlu’s face. He sensed Chen Fei’s aura for a moment—early Combined Aperture Tempering realm? No, there was something peculiar about the aura.

Min Yanlu’s expression shifted slightly, but he refrained from forcefully probing Chen Fei further; it wouldn’t serve much purpose. To Min Yanlu, regardless of Chen Fei’s realm, it was all the same.

Even if Chen Fei was currently in the later stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, it wouldn’t have much impact on the current situation.

Of course, if Chen Fei were at the pinnacle of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, it would be effective. But if truly at the pinnacle, that unique aura would never escape Min Yanlu’s perception.

“I haven’t captured anyone yet, but I used the Dream Entry Technique to investigate someone, thus obtaining some information,” Chen Fei replied softly.

“Dream Entry Technique? You actually possess Dream Shadow Master Master’s techniques; that’s intriguing,” Min Yanlu’s interest deepened in his gaze.

“Dream Shadow Master Master?”

Chen Fei expressed some confusion at Min Yanlu’s words. Initially, the crystal he obtained from the Dream Devourer didn’t mention who created the Dream Entry Technique.

Perhaps the complete technique would have some explanation, but the content recorded on Chen Fei’s small portion of the crystal was too limited.

“He’s an unparalleled master, with a sanctuary left tens of thousands of miles away. If you’re interested, you could give it a try,” Min Yanlu’s tone became more animated as he spoke of Dream Shadow Master.

Tens of thousands of miles?

Chen Fei blinked at the distance mentioned by Min Yanlu, unsure of how to respond.

In terms of his current speed, crossing such a distance wasn’t entirely out of reach for Chen Fei. However, there was a problem here: being tens of thousands of miles away meant completely departing from the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

That place was a world truly dominated by sea demons. It wasn’t that there were no human martial artists, but with Chen Fei’s Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivation, he could only barely ensure his own safety within.

Even a slight stroke of bad luck could lead to death, a common occurrence there.

Based on the information Chen Fei had gathered, the Thousand Feathers Alliance was actually situated in a corner of the Boundless Sea. The farther one ventured from the Thousand Feathers Alliance, the more powerful sea demons lurked outside.

And that time, when so many sea demons had come to the Thousand Feathers Alliance, rumors had it that there had been a disturbance in the Boundless Sea, driving these sea demons to seek refuge here.

The geographical location of the Thousand Feathers Alliance had aligned with the choice of refuge for these sea demons, leading to such a conflict.

However, this was just one of the more widely circulated explanations, and whether it was true or not, Chen Fei couldn’t verify.

“Show me the Dream Entry Technique,” Min Yanlu hadn’t intended to wait for Chen Fei’s response, instructing directly.

As Min Yanlu’s words fell, Chen Fei had felt the power that had been blocking him completely lift. Without delay, Chen Fei had begun to activate the Dream Entry Technique.

Chen Fei had pointed forward, and a subtle ripple had spread out. The surrounding elemental energy had vibrated slightly in response to the ripple, harmonizing with each other.

Sensing the power in Chen Fei’s gesture, Min Yanlu had nodded slightly. The exceptionally pure dream power had confirmed that Chen Fei’s words had not been false.

The dream state, as Min Yanlu had understood, often left many people unaware after being affected by its power.

It had been precisely because of this that Dream Shadow Master’s reputation had been so widespread in the Boundless Sea, and his sanctuary had attracted so many people eager to test themselves.

The goal? To attain such a unique and powerful technique.

Min Yanlu had also attempted it years ago but ultimately failed. It hadn’t been due to his lack of talent, but rather the incompatible nature between him and the dream techniques. Even if he had practiced reluctantly, he hadn’t been able to reach the pinnacle.

“Show me the memories you’ve seen,” Min Yanlu looked at Chen Fei, a hint of amusement now visible on his face.

If those in the Boundless Sea were to know that someone could wield dream techniques with such proficiency, there would likely be a scramble to claim this individual.

However, this wasn’t the Boundless Sea; this was the Thousand Feathers Alliance. Such unique talents didn’t offer any particular assistance to Min Yanlu.

But it couldn’t be denied that in Min Yanlu’s eyes, Chen Fei’s importance had undergone a slight change.

From being just an ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm practitioner earlier, he had now become a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator with cultivation potential. This seemingly simple transition held a completely different meaning in Min Yanlu’s eyes.

“Yes!”

Chen Fei nodded, clasping his hands together. He then used his elemental energy to form images, vividly presenting the information about some traitors he had seen in Ning Yanding’s memories.

However, the information about the traitors that Ning Yanding knew wasn’t extensive. These individuals were quite cautious, often communicating through single lines.

With Ning Yanding’s mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivation, most of what he knew pertained to those in the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm, along with one individual in the later stage.

Even during yesterday’s operation, despite the involvement of three individuals in the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Ning Yanding had only seen one of them, the same person who usually contacted him.

As for the other two individuals, Ning Yanding had never seen them from start to finish, only knowing that these two had been involved in the operation.

What Ning Yanding knew naturally represented what Chen Fei knew, but having information about a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator in the later stage was already significant.

With his current strength, Chen Fei couldn’t do much against a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator in the later stage. Even casually sailing out to sea or entering a city, Chen Fei worried about being targeted by those traitors.

This was the reason why Chen Fei wanted to meet Min Yanlu. As long as this Mountain Sea Realm powerhouse was willing to take action, pulling out information about the traitors would be like pulling a thread from a cocoon, revealing a lot of valuable intel.

When these traitors were busy dealing with the repercussions of their actions, the attention on Chen Fei would naturally decrease, providing him with ample time for cultivation.

After a moment, Chen Fei concluded his presentation of the information, and Min Yanlu’s eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

“You’ve done well, and also with the information about the Formless Realm Formation,” Min Yanlu commended, looking at Chen Fei with approval.

He continued, “For good deeds, there should be rewards. What do you desire?”

Upon hearing Min Yanlu’s words, Chen Fei’s eyes sparkled slightly.

If it had been before, without the Profound Heavenly Sword, Chen Fei would have definitely requested a profound elemental technique. But now that he had the Profound Heavenly Sword, seeking another elemental technique might not be worth it.

Perhaps the elemental technique Min Yanlu offered could further enhance the Profound Heavenly Sword, but there was also the possibility that it wouldn’t be beneficial at all, essentially wasting this opportunity.

As for treasures, the Qianyuan Sword Chen Fei possessed now was sufficient. Additionally, Chen Fei currently presented himself as a practitioner in the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Using a medium-grade treasure at this level of cultivation was already quite eye-catching.

If Chen Fei were to acquire another high-grade treasure, it would blatantly attract attention and might even invite robbery.

Initially, those people hadn’t harbored such thoughts, but upon seeing the high-grade treasure, it had forcefully stirred up such desires. Even Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators in the later stage would be tempted by a high-grade treasure.

Having another high-grade treasure wouldn’t make Chen Fei capable of defeating a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator in the later stage. However, against someone in the mid-stage, whether Chen Fei had a high-grade treasure or not wouldn’t affect his ability to kill them.

Of course, if he had a high-grade treasure, it would probably make the kill easier.

As for elemental stones, Chen Fei had just slain five mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, yielding valuable medium-grade elemental stones worth tens of thousands. In the short term, Chen Fei wasn’t lacking in medium-grade elemental stones.

What Chen Fei lacked the most now was quiet time for cultivation. Unfortunately, the situation in the Sea Dominion City couldn’t provide Chen Fei with the one thing he needed the most: time.

“Guild Master, are there any soul-related techniques available?” Chen Fei asked in a low voice after some thought.

The technique he had been longing for, the follow-up to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul technique, had eluded him so far.

“There are, but your contributions won’t earn you access to them,” Min Yanlu shook his head slightly.

“Furthermore, soul techniques are related to the cultivation of the Mountain Sea Realm, which you cannot practice at your current level.”

Mountain Sea Realm?

Chen Fei wanted to argue that as long as there was a technique, he should be able to practice it, albeit perhaps at a slower pace.

Of course, he couldn’t actually say such things; Min Yanlu wouldn’t believe him if he did. And if soul techniques were truly related to the Mountain Sea Realm, then Chen Fei’s contributions wouldn’t be enough to obtain them.

So, was it because he had overreached that the follow-up to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul technique hadn’t been created? Had the previous owner of the incomplete spiritual treasure within the spatial grid already restored the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul technique?

A thought flashed through Chen Fei’s mind. Ultimately, he would have to place his hopes on that spiritual treasure for the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul technique.

“Do you have any methods to accelerate cultivation without affecting the foundation?” Chen Fei changed his request, making it more vague.

As a Mountain Sea Realm practitioner and the leader of the Thousand Feathers Alliance, Min Yanlu couldn’t possibly mistreat someone who had made significant contributions. In light of this, it made sense to blur the request’s details, allowing Mln Yanlu to decide what to provide.

Min Yanlu frowned slightly upon hearing Chen Fei’s request, then produced an object that floated gently towards Chen Fei.

“This is called the Celestial Azure Flower. It grows on the Light Cliff Mountain in the Boundless Sea. Consuming it can enhance the resilience of your Combined Aperture Tempering realm, making it even more robust. Even if your Combined Aperture Tempering realm suffers damage in the future, it can slowly repair itself,” Min Yanlu explained.

Listening to Min Yanlu’s words, Chen Fei reached out and accepted the Celestial Azure Flower.

Chen Fei’s Combined Aperture Tempering realm was already more resilient than usual. However, by taking the Celestial Azure Flower, its resilience would undoubtedly be further improved.

In the future, Chen Fei could increase the quantity and frequency of consuming medicinal pills.

In other words, with sufficient resources, the Celestial Azure Flower could indeed accelerate cultivation without harming the foundation.

“Thank you, Guild Master!” Chen Fei bowed and stored the Celestial Azure Flower in his spatial pouch.

Min Yanlu waved his hand, and the next moment, when Chen Fei opened his eyes, he found himself outside in the courtyard. From start to finish, Chen Fei hadn’t noticed how he had been brought out.

The power of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was too weak compared to the Mountain Sea Realm, just like an ordinary person facing a martial artist, utterly powerless..
