nChapter 916: Stealing the Sky and Swapping the Sun

n“Youthful arrogance is quite normal,” Fu Yongshun said, lowering his eyes.

nIn front of Miss Lu Mengnan, the second young lady of the Sky Resonance Court, Fu Yongshun lacked the demeanor expected of a peak Sun Moon Realm cultivator. He seemed more like an ordinary old servant.

n“Has Ming’an been influenced by the gossip outside, leading him to misunderstand me?” Lu Mengnan’s eyes were slightly red, and her expression was sorrowful.

n“Who dares to spread rumors? This old servant would tear out their tongues right in front of them!” Fu Yongshun’s eyes suddenly flashed with a glint of hostility.

n“Words can be like melting metal; it’s unstoppable.”

nLu Mengnan shook her head, looking ahead as she continued, “I only hope to find Ming’an now and explain to him that things are not as he thinks.”

n“Miss, don’t worry. This old servant will bring Yan Ming’an before you shortly,” Fu Yongshun whispered.

nWith the strength of a peak Sun Moon Realm cultivator, capturing someone in the early Sun Moon Realm is almost as easy as a casual task.

nIn the lower realms, a peak Sun Moon Realm cultivator is the strongest in the realm, and in the Return to Nothing Realm, they have a great chance of breaking into the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm.

nOf course, compared to those prodigies who cultivated to the peak Sun Moon Realm on their own and then crossed into the Return to Nothing Realm, the native peak Sun Moon Realm cultivators of the Return to Nothing Realm have often exhausted much of their potential.

nUnlike the prodigies from the lower realms who still possess strong potential and drive.

nHowever, regardless of potential, the strength of a peak Sun Moon Realm cultivator is genuine and formidable, representing a significant power among both the human and Gong Clans.

nThe fact that such a power is willing to serve as a mere servant in the Sky Resonance Court speaks volumes about the nature of this vast power.

nThis is also why, despite possessing the invincible golden body as a divine ability seed and exceptional potential, Yan Ming’an could only hide in the Boundless Sea to carry out tasks.

nCompared to a behemoth like the Sky Resonance Court, Yan Ming’an, in the early Sun Moon Realm, is indeed very weak.

n“Uncle Fu Yongshun, please don’t harm Ming’an,” Lu Mengnan reminded.

n“This old servant understands…”

nBefore Fu Yongshun could finish his sentence, his brow furrowed slightly as he took out a jade tablet. A light spot within it suddenly went out.

nThis was a Soul Command Jade Tablet, used by the Sky Resonance Court’s guards to leave a fragment of their soul within.

nWhen someone dies, the soul within the tablet dissipates.

nCompared to placing the jade tablets in a designated location under constant supervision, reporting incidents would be more immediate and straightforward.

nStoring the soul information of all the guards with Fu Yongshun undoubtedly saved time and effort, and any special situations could be detected immediately.

nOf course, Sky Resonance Court could not have Fu Yongshun manage all the guards alone.

nIn fact, there were several people in Sky Resonance Court like Fu Yongshun, each managing a portion of the guards.

n“Uncle Fu, what’s wrong?” Lu Mengnan asked with concern.

n“Miss, Shen Shundong is dead, and the situation has changed,” Fu Yongshun said, his eyes narrowing slightly with a hint of coldness.

nSuch audacity, to dare kill someone from Sky Resonance Court!

nThousands of miles away, at the boundary of the Gong Clan, Chen Fei made a slight motion with his right hand, causing Chi Chengyuan’s body to turn to dust and vanish.

nThe spiritual essence was extracted, and Chi Chengyuan’s soul was separately sealed.

nNo inheritance techniques were found, similar to Chen Fei’s previous treatment of Yan Ming’an; what Chen Fei cared about more was Chi Chengyuan’s knowledge of Sky Sea City and Sky Resonance Court.

nChi Chengyuan’s knowledge of Sky Sea City was quite similar to Yan Ming’an’s, as both had comparable cultivation levels.

nHowever, as a guard of Sky Resonance Court, Chi Chengyuan’s understanding of Sky Resonance Court was naturally far superior to Yan Ming’an’s.

n“The guards of Sky Resonance Court actually had access to the Court’s inheritance, and the inheritance was not weak at all!”

nChen Fei’s gaze shifted, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

nUpon arriving in the Return to Nothing Realm, the upper limit of cultivation levels had been fully opened, removing concerns about advancing to the mid Sun Moon Realm being unattainable.

nHowever, the dangers in the Return to Nothing Realm far exceeded those in the Boundless Sea.

nThe strongest in the Boundless Sea were at the mid Sun Moon Realm, and other stronger beings typically did not risk their lives to venture into the Boundless Sea.

nBut in the Return to Nothing Realm, stronger individuals were everywhere.

nIf luck was bad, one might encounter not just Sixth Stage Emperors but even stronger beings of Seventh Stage and above.

nAt such times, there would be no escape.

nTherefore, how to quickly enhance one’s own cultivation and strength was a pressing issue for Chen Fei.

nAmong the human race, below the Sun Moon Realm, there were specialized academies for teaching techniques.

nThe techniques there were balanced and suitable for everyone.

nOf course, if one displayed exceptional talent, the academy would tailor its teaching to their abilities, offering stronger techniques or even recommending them to other major forces.

nThese large forces were eager to accept such prodigies to bolster their own power.

nHowever, by the time one reached the Sun Moon Realm, academies had little left to teach.

nAt this stage, one had to comprehend divine abilities; relying solely on learning was no longer sufficient for advancement.

nAt this point, Sun Moon Realm cultivators were tasked with protecting the human race, which helped ensure the safety of major cities and allowed for further advancement in their realm.

nThus, for cultivating resources and techniques at the Sun Moon Realm, one had to either join major forces within the city or the major city lord’s mansion.

nCity lord’s mansions were undoubtedly the most powerful in the human cities, as they were guarded by Sixth Stage Emperors.

nBut being the most powerful did not necessarily mean the best treatment.

nOther forces within the city might increase their investments to attract Sun Moon Realm cultivators, to make their offers more appealing.

nOtherwise, given the same conditions, there was no reason to choose them over the city lord’s mansion.

nIt was always better to cling to the most significant force.

nThus, Sky Resonance Court’s conditions were quite favorable, with opportunities for learning techniques and exchanging resources being much more generous than those offered by the city lord’s mansion.

nAt this moment, Chen Fei was contemplating how to establish a foothold within the human cities.

nA rather troublesome issue was that Chen Fei was essentially an illegal immigrant, having entered Sky Sea City using Yan Ming’an’s identity.

nYan Ming’an’s identity was no longer usable due to its significant drawbacks.

nUsing a completely new and unfamiliar identity posed another problem: Chen Fei could not prove his origins.

nMany in the human race were in the Sun Moon Realm, each with their own identity.

nWithout an identity, one was like a fugitive, mingling on the fringes of various races.

nGoing to the fringes was too dangerous for Chen Fei, and acquiring cultivation techniques would also be a major issue.

nThe Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique could not obtain techniques, at most providing some superficial memories.

nA stable channel for obtaining techniques and spiritual materials was still crucial for Chen Fei at this stage.

nOf course, the issue of being an illegal immigrant could be resolved.

nEven under the sun, there were shadows, let alone in other places.

nIn the major cities of the human race, there were actually sellers of identities. Buying an identity would provide detailed records from birth to the present, and normally, such transactions would not cause problems.

nAlthough Chen Fei’s secret arrival in the Return to Nothing Realm might seem extremely serious to people like Nie Shengyun, to those at a higher level of power, it was hardly a significant matter.

nAfter all, Chen Fei had caused no harm other than the death of Yan Ming’an.

nIn the lower realms, the death of a Sun Moon Realm cultivator might shake the rules, but in the Return to Nothing Realm, the death of such a cultivator barely registered with anyone else, except for the involved forces.

nNo one knew Chen Fei, so his death or survival was irrelevant to them.

nThus, there would be no issues if Chen Fei assumed a new identity within the human territories.

nAt this moment, Chen Fei was pondering whether to use Chi Chengyuan’s identity to enter Sky Resonance Court.

nSky Resonance Court’s review of guard identities was very strict. A purchased identity could usually deceive ordinary people, but it would likely be exposed by any major force.

nIf Chen Fei entered Sky Resonance Court using Chi Chengyuan’s identity, the initial identity review would pass, and the contributions accumulated by Chi Chengyuan would be transferred to him.

nChi Chengyuan had served in Sky Resonance Court for over a hundred years.

nAlthough his cultivation had not improved much, he had accumulated a considerable amount of contribution points. Chi Chengyuan had been reluctant to use these points, intending to save them for an opportunity to enter the Enlightenment Pool.

nSky Resonance Court had an Enlightenment Pool that directly enhanced one’s comprehension of divine abilities.

nChen Fei did not need the Enlightenment Pool; he intended to use the contribution points for other purposes.

nAlmost 70% of Sky Resonance Court’s guards had the habit of accumulating contribution points like Chi Chengyuan.

nChen Fei looked at Chi Chengyuan’s soul and lightly sliced off 30% of it with his right hand.

nHe then used a hand seal to refine the 30% of the soul into a soul mark and placed it on the back of his left hand.

nChen Fei’s aura began to change as he adjusted his aura to match the soul mark, eventually becoming identical to the aura on the mark.

nPreviously, when simulating Yan Ming’an, Chen Fei had not used this method, as it was unnecessary. Yan Ming’an’s identity was meant to be discarded after use.

nNow, to enter Sky Resonance Court, the soul mark not only allowed Chen Fei to simulate more seamlessly, but also ensured that if someone used divine abilities to probe him, they would detect only Chi Chengyuan’s soul aura.

nThe divine ability that allowed one to see through the undying nature of the divine revealed all the changes occurring within this body clearly.

nChen Fei’s plan was to take advantage of Sky Resonance Court’s benefits and then leave.

nChi Chengyuan’s soul, stunned by Chen Fei’s transformation, seemed to understand why Yan Ming’an had become so powerful—because this person was not Yan Ming’an at all!

nChi Chengyuan struggled violently, filled with resentment, but was powerless to break free from Chen Fei’s seal.

nChen Fei looked down at Chi Chengyuan and, with a sword-like gesture of his right hand, caused Chi Chengyuan’s soul to freeze. His spiritual awareness fell into complete silence. Without Chen Fei’s unsealing, Chi Chengyuan would remain in this state of slumber.

nHe would remain asleep until the end of his lifespan.
