Chapter 810: Divine Blessing

Casually destroying the artifact spirit, Chen Fei carefully observed the Dream Shadow Stone in his hand.

Years ago in Pingyin County, Chen Fei had acquired a portion of the Dream Entry Technique from an Evil. With a flick of his left hand, a crystal containing the technique appeared in his palm.

The technique had mentioned that this crystal was transformed from the legendary Dream Eating Tapir, and could enhance one’s mind.

At that time, Chen Fei truly believed it. After all, due to this crystal, the strange entity in Pingyin County had grown rapidly.

But looking at it now, while the crystal might be related to the Dream Eating Tapir, it was definitely not transformed from its body, as the Dream Eating Tapir’s abilities far exceeded this.

Chen Fei directly dissolved the crystal into the Dream Shadow Stone, which emitted a faint glow.

The Dream Shadow Stone had once been of a very high grade, reaching the level of a pinnacle spiritual treasure, as Dream Shadow Master was a peak expert of the Mountain Sea realm.

However, in this world, the strongest force is actually time.

No matter how powerful one is, capable of overturning rivers and seas or changing the heavens and earth, when time comes, it all turns to nothing.

From the time the Dream Shadow Stone was forged by Dream Shadow Master, thousands of years had passed.

Over such a long period, remaining in a place like the Strange Heart Realm, it was remarkable that the Dream Shadow Stone had not been contaminated.

For thousands of years, it periodically manifested a cave dwelling in the real world, allowing people to enter for trials.

The key issue was that the artifact spirit of the Dream Shadow Stone had attempted to fully absorb the stone’s power for itself.

With all these factors combined, the actual power of the Dream Shadow Stone had now diminished to the level of a low-grade spiritual treasure. If it remained in the Strange Heart Realm for another few hundred years, it risked falling below even that level.

However, the materials used to forge the Dream Shadow Stone were exceptionally extraordinary.

Additionally, Dream Shadow Master’s superb forging techniques meant that although the stone’s current power was only at a low-grade spiritual treasure level, restoring it to its peak would be much simpler than with other treasures, provided there were enough spiritual essences.

Chen Fei had anticipated the weakening of the Dream Shadow Stone’s power, so he wasn’t disappointed.

At this moment, as he merged the Dream Eating Tapir crystal into the Dream Shadow Stone, its essence was significantly restored.

Chen Fei extended a wisp of his consciousness and entered the Dream Shadow Stone.

The space shifted dramatically, and when Chen Fei opened his eyes, he found himself standing on a mountain peak, surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, obscuring the view beyond.

A phantom stood at the very center of the mountain peak. With white hair and a youthful face, his robes fluttered as if he were ready to ascend to immortality at any moment.

“The Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique,” the figure began, “is a culmination of numerous secret arts, integrated through a moment of profound enlightenment…”

As Chen Fei arrived, the figure immediately started explaining the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique.

The figure likely resembled Dream Shadow Master as he appeared thousands of years ago. Even today, many legends about Dream Shadow Master persist across the Middle Continent.

Killing within dreams from thousands of miles away!

Mastering countless techniques with ease, excelling in every aspect!

Dream Shadow Master was a legendary figure, whose fame sometimes overshadowed even the Sun Moon Realm experts of some Sacred Lands.

Many believed that Dream Shadow Master would break through to the Sun Moon Realm and establish a Sacred Land of his own.

However, in the end, Dream Shadow Master remained stuck at the bottleneck of the Mountain Sea realm, unable to take that final step.

Dream Shadow Master had learned many techniques. Some Sacred Lands even opened their top-tier inheritances to him at the time, hoping to build a good relationship.

They believed that Dream Shadow Master’s breakthrough to the Sun Moon Realm was highly probable.

But in the end, things did not go as planned!

Dream Shadow Master likely did not want the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique to be lost, and his explanation was meticulous, covering every detail and breaking down each key point.

However, just as Dream Shadow Master sought the right successor, truly mastering and integrating the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique required a special talent.

Some things cannot be fully understood and mastered simply by hearing them explained, and this top-tier technique was no exception.

The explanation lasted for a full five hours without any interruptions.

As Dream Shadow Master1 s phantom dissipated, new changes appeared on Chen Fei’s interface.

“New technique discovered: Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique!”

Chen Fei’s original Dream Entry Technique directly merged into the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique. What he had learned was essentially the preliminary part of this advanced technique.

“Simplify!”

“Simplifying Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique… Simplification successful… Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique — Dream Entry Technique!”

Chen Fei noticed that the cost of simplifying the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique was significantly higher than that of the Purple Sky Stellar Technique. This indicated that, in the view of the interface, the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique was, in some ways, more powerful than the Purple Sky Stellar Technique.

As Chen Fei activated the Dream Entry Technique, insights related to the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique began to appear in his consciousness.

A moment later, Chen Fei stopped the technique and opened his eyes, a slight ripple in his gaze.

Having just begun to master the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, Chen Fei was filled with admiration for Dream Shadow Master, who had single­handedly created such a profound technique.

From another perspective, this technique was even stronger than those of the Sacred Lands. The Sacred Lands’ foundational techniques were refined over many generations and ultimately perfected by a prodigious individual who broke through to the Sun Moon Realm.

Dream Shadow Master lacked only the final step, having not crossed into the Sun Moon Realm.

The Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique’s fundamental ability was entering dreams. Even in the Mountain Sea realm, as long as the opponent’s realm did not surpass Chen Fei’s and his proficiency in the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique was deep enough, he could enter the opponent’s dream after bringing them to the brink of death.

At that point, even the natural soul protection of a Mountain Sea realm expert would be ineffective.

However, if the opponent’s realm exceeded Chen Fei’s, the Dream Entry Technique would be useless, even if the opponent were near death.

Besides dream entry, the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique also focuses on the cultivation and protection of one’s soul, reaching the pinnacle of soul defense.

With the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, the Xuanyuan Sword, and now the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, the protection techniques for the soul were becoming as layered and formidable as the overlapping armor of his physical body, advancing towards an increasingly exaggerated state.

Furthermore, the “Divine Blessing” aspect of the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique allows for the slow self-repair of a damaged soul.

This seemed familiar because the innate Divine Blessing ability in the void had a similar effect.

The difference lies in one being granted by a technique and the other being an innate trait.

“If I perfect the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique and also have the innate Divine Blessing, what will that lead to?”

Chen Fei thought. Combining these two traits might allow him to freely burn his soul in battle without consequence.

For others, burning their soul would be a desperate, life-risking act, but for Chen Fei, it could become a routine combat strategy.

If he integrated the innate Divine Blessing into the Sword Dominates the Galaxy, could he further enhance its repair effects?

Chen Fei blinked, suddenly finding the prospect incredibly exciting.

In addition to the slow recovery of soul injuries, the most astonishing aspect of the Divine Blessing within the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique was its other unique feature.

However, this feature could only be activated by mastering the technique to its peak, achieving the state of perfection.

This feature provided a 20% chance of resurrection when one’s soul was completely annihilated, allowing a partial restoration of the soul.

The restoration would be limited to the soul, without affecting the physical body.

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique offers resurrection through a single drop of blood, but if reduced to ashes, recovery would be impossible.

In contrast, with the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, even if the soul is completely obliterated, there is a chance for partial resurrection in some mysterious way.

A 20% probability might seem low, but to Chen Fei, it was incredibly formidable.

If Chen Fei ever encountered an unbeatable foe and his physical body was crushed to dust, he might still escape with his soul using this feature.

Is that all there is to the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique? Not at all!

The reason the simplification cost was so high, and why Chen Fei believed this technique surpassed the Purple Sky Stellar Technique in some aspects, was due to another special ability.

This ability was also the fundamental reason Dream Shadow Master was able to master various secret arts.

The Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique also allowed the creation of small clones to aid in the comprehension of techniques.

These small clones were solely for understanding techniques and could not assist in combat or even move.

According to Dream Shadow Master’s notes, at his peak, he had created over a thousand of these small clones specifically to help him comprehend various techniques.

Before creating the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, Dream Shadow Master might have been considered an ordinary prodigy. But with over a thousand small clones, his talent had become unparalleled.

“Small clones… how did Dream Shadow Master even create this technique?”

Chen Fei pondered, amazed by such extraordinary talent, feeling as if Dream Shadow Master had stood on the shoulders of giants.

However, these small clones were not without their drawbacks.

From Chen Fei’s perspective, these drawbacks were significant. It was likely due to these flaws that Dream Shadow Master, despite mastering so many techniques, had never stepped into the Sun Moon Realm.

The small clones were not about enslaving others to help comprehend techniques but required a fourth-grade spiritual material called Myriad Bamboo. A portion of one’s soul would be separated using the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique and infused into the Myriad Bamboo.

Then, through a secret method, the Myriad Bamboo would be refined into one’s small clones.

Myriad Bamboo was quite precious, belonging to the upper tier of fourth-grade spiritual materials. Although it could not serve as the primary material for top­grade spiritual treasures, its grade ensured an extremely high price.

To obtain the thousands of Myriad Bamboo clones like Dream Shadow Master had, the costs were extraordinarily exorbitant.

The high cost was not the primary flaw of the Myriad Bamboo clones. The real issue lay in the insights gained from comprehending techniques, many of which were erroneous.

Despite the ingenious method of creating the Myriad Bamboo clones, they were ultimately refined from just a fragment of one’s soul.

What such a small fragment of the soul could comprehend was uncertain, and the insights from so many Myriad Bamboo clones could sometimes deviate from the true direction of the techniques.

When Dream Shadow Master had attempted to break through to the Sun Moon Realm, he discovered that several of his primary techniques had been practiced incorrectly, without knowing exactly where he had gone wrong.

Some errors might have been minor, but an error was still an error, and it would not be without consequence simply because only part of it was wrong.

In the end, the flaws in Dream Shadow Master’s foundation caused his attempt to break through to the Sun Moon Realm to fail, resulting in a critical setback.
