Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques-Chapter 1194 - 1150: Seeking Wealth and Danger
Chapter 1194: Chapter 1150: Seeking Wealth and Danger
Lv Fan looked up briefly and then quickly lowered his head, afraid of provoking the man, secretly regretting his choice to follow along.
Originally, Lv Fan wanted not only to wipe out the human race, but also to witness the twisted extinction of the human race with his own eyes, for nothing else could quell the hatred in his heart.
However, Lv Fan had not anticipated that the task would be taken by Open Heaven Realm Middle Stage cultivators, and that there would be two of them.
The value of that piece of bronze fragment shouldn’t have been so high; otherwise, Liao Xia would have accepted it earlier instead of returning it to Lv Fan.
“You’re here? Went to Guang Han Territory, how was the harvest?” Nan Longtu casually released Lv Fan and turned to look at Xie Changxuan.
The two were old friends, having known each other for thousands of years. During their time in the Heart Deceit Bureau, if one felt a task was too difficult, they would send a message to the other to see if they were interested in collaborating.
...
This task of annihilating the human race had been posted in the Heart Deceit Bureau for two months, yet no one from the Open Heaven Realm had taken it.
Apart from the relatively ordinary value of the bronze fragment itself, the intelligence system of the Heart Deceit Bureau had also found out that an individual from the human race had reached the Open Heaven Realm Early Stage.
This Open Heaven Realm Early Stage individual from the human race was no simple figure, seemingly having assisted the Xuan Clan in eradicating nine Open Heaven Realm practitioners from the Wu Meng Clan.
Appreciating the human’s substantial potential, the Xuan Clan even formed an alliance with him and gave the former territories of the Wu Meng Clan to the human race.
From these actions taken by the Xuan Clan, one could deduce that this individual from the human realm was far from ordinary.
To offend the human race, and possibly the Xuan Clan as well, over a bronze fragment of not significant worth, would be a loss far outweighing the gain.
Under normal circumstances, unless a genuinely needy Open Heaven Realm cultivator appeared, this bounty task would be postponed indefinitely by the Heart Deceit Bureau and automatically withdrawn after a year.
Nan Longtu stumbled upon this task by chance and initially didn’t take it seriously since the ability of the bronze fragment had been specifically assessed by the experts of the Heart Deceit Bureau, who had provided a concrete value assessment.
For Nan Longtu, who was already in the Open Heaven Realm Middle Stage, the bronze fragment was of little significance.
But the Black Stone Domain and the bronze fragment were connected to the recent emergence of the Tun Yuan Clan.
Furthermore, the recent popular news that the territories of the Wu Meng Clan had changed hands with a new race settling in, all these pieces of information put together made Nan Longtu casually look into this human.
Upon investigating, Nan Longtu’s interest only grew keener.
At the time of the Tun Yuan Clan’s emergence, Nan Longtu was entangled in other matters; otherwise, given the proximity, he probably would have gone there too.
As for the potential dangers, before even considering them, being someone who took on tasks from the Heart Deceit Bureau, where would Nan Longtu care about danger?
As long as the benefits were sufficient and his own strength was adequate, Nan Longtu would even dare to take on tasks to assassinate late-stage Open Heaven Realm practitioners.
“There were a few late-stage Open Heaven Realm figures in Guang Han Territory; saw there wasn’t much benefit to gain and pulled out early,” Xie Changxuan shook his head as he took the jade scroll offered by Nan Longtu.
Having received a message from Nan Longtu, Xie Changxuan had come straight here, his understanding of the task still not very deep.
This also reflects Xie Changxuan’s significant trust in Nan Longtu, which relates to their past cooperative experiences.
“Black Stone Domain, human race?”
Xie Changxuan, looking at the information in the jade scroll, furrowed his brows slightly, appearing rather surprised.
“You just returned from the Black Stone Domain; any impression of this human?” Nan Longtu asked softly.
Nan Longtu had specifically called upon Xie Changxuan this time because during the emergence of the Tun Yuan Clan, Xie Changxuan had just visited the Black Stone Domain and had achieved considerable gains.
“Some impression. At the time, all the native species of the Black Stone Domain were under the control of the Wu Meng Clan, and they even used the Black Stone Domain species as the vanguard in the attack on the Tun Yuan Clan Ruins,” Xie Changxuan nodded.
To say that he had a deep impression would of course be impossible; after all, they were weak races without any Open Heaven Realm beings, how could they catch Xie Changxuan’s eye.
At that time, he was merely in Meng City when he briefly heard the news about the Black Stone Domain, naturally including the human race.
There were a dozen or so at the peak of Rule Integration Realm, but all were quite far from the barrier to the Open Heaven Realm; unless something unforeseen happened, it was almost impossible for anyone to breakthrough.
It wasn’t just the human race; the entire Black Stone Domain was like this.
Only the strength of the Evil Clans was slightly stronger, featuring a Fake Open Heaven Realm, but that was about it.
Xie Changxuan turned his head to Lv Fan, a slight smile appearing on his face; he had felt that this cultivator at the Rule Integration Realm looked familiar—it was that Evil Clans member who had been taken as a servant by Liao Xia.
Seeing Xie Changxuan looking over, Lv Fan flashed a ingratiating smile.

“This human suddenly possessing an Open Heaven Realm and even being valued by the Xuan Clan, do you think this Chen Fei might have gotten his hands on something good at the Tun Yuan Clan Ruins?”
A gleam passed through Nan Longtu’s eyes; after all, the Tun Yuan Clan had been an Eighth Rank Race.
Although Xie Changxuan had mentioned last time that much of the Tun Yuan Clan’s treasure had been depleted, and the spirit materials present were far fewer than anticipated,
there’s always a chance for exceptions, perhaps some excellent items had been obtained by this human.
“Chen Fei, Open Heaven Realm?”
Lv Fan, who had been quietly standing aside, listening to the conversation between Nan Longtu and another, dared not interject.
But at this moment, hearing that the human race had an additional Open Heaven Realm cultivator, and that it was Chen Fei, Lv Fan’s state of mind was instantly disrupted.
No wonder there had been no Open Heaven Realm accepting his task in the Heart Deceit Bureau, it turned out the human race already had their own Open Heaven Realm expert.
At that time, Lv Fan had entrusted an unrestricted task, which meant that regardless of the situation of the human race, only by exterminating them could he obtain the Bronze Fragments.
Probably because of this, the Heart Deceit Bureau had not notified Lv Fan to change the task.
Lv Fan guessed some of it, then shifted even greater attention to the changes in the human race.
He could barely accept other mid-peak Rule Integration Realm members of the human race breaking through to the Open Heaven Realm, but Chen Fei, hadn’t he just broken through to the Rule Integration Realm not many years ago!
Last time, at the outskirts of the Yuan Clan Ruins, he had just lucked into reaching the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, the difference from the Open Heaven Realm was more than heaven and earth.
“Oh? It seems our employer has something to say?” Nan Longtu looked towards Lv Fan.
In the Xuanling Domain, many tasked the Heart Deceit Bureau anonymously, but there were not many like Lv Fan, who required watching the target die.
It seemed that in Lv Fan’s heart, the human race was still that Eighth Rank Race, and having an Open Heaven Realm take action was sufficient to exterminate them.
“Reporting to my senior, I do know a bit about that Chen Fei.”
Lv Fan quickly bowed and then relayed everything he knew about Chen Fei.
In all of the Black Stone Domain, if anyone knew the human race and Chen Fei the best, it was without a doubt the Ice Race and the Evil Clans.
Thus, from the time Chen Fei stepped into the Return to Nothing Realm, most of the events that occurred were all listed out by Lv Fan. This listing also made Chen Fei’s growth process in the Return to Nothing Realm clear and distinct.
“From the Sun Moon Realm to this Open Heaven Realm, it took less than ten years?” Nan Longtu said somewhat surprised.
Having cultivated step by step from the bottom, Nan Longtu naturally understood the time required for each stage.
Nan Longtu’s talents were extremely strong, otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have cultivated to the Open Heaven Realm Middle Stage. But with Nan Longtu’s talents, it also took over a thousand years to go from the Sun Moon Realm to the Open Heaven Realm.
This was already considered very fast, but compared to Chen Fei’s less than ten years, there was absolutely no comparison.
Nan Longtu exchanged glances with Xie Changxuan. Chen Fei’s timeline was definitely not normal.
“It seems he didn’t discover some treasure in the Yuan Clan Ruins. This Chen Fei could potentially be a Great Power reincarnated, just happening to be reborn in the human race,” Xie Changxuan said solemnly.
Normal cultivation absolutely couldn’t be this fast; only similarly abnormal scenarios like the reincarnation of a Great Power could make this possible.
“Even if it is a reincarnation of a Great Power, this speed is still too fast; he likely still carries treasures from his previous life and also gained something in the Yuan Clan Ruins,” Nan Longtu said after a moment’s thought.
Xie Changxuan nodded his head, offering no objections.
This could explain why the Xuan Clan chose to ally with the human race, possibly because they saw potential in Chen Fei’s identity as a Great Power reincarnated, which could bring greater benefits to the Xuan Clan in the future.
Compared to the original territories of the Wu Meng Clan, it was nothing significant.
Listening on the side, Lv Fan’s eyes slightly widened. Chen Fei had reincarnated as a Great Power into the human race?
Then this Open Heaven Realm Early Stage, might not be Chen Fei’s limit; he might continue to break through further. If that was the case, how would he avenge the extermination of his race?
“What do you think?” Nan Longtu looked at Xie Changxuan, his gaze slightly flickering.
“A reincarnated Great Power, huh? We’ve not shy about killing them before!” Xie Changxuan suddenly laughed.
Those who took tasks at the Heart Deceit Bureau were all restless in stable cultivation, emphasizing a philosophy of seeking fortune amidst danger; the greater the risk, sometimes the greater the potential rewards.
“Hahaha, well said; they’re just some old relics! Back then, that reincarnated Great Power got us quite a few good things indeed!” Nan Longtu also laughed loudly.
Nan Longtu and Xie Changxuan were the same type of cultivators, not afraid of danger but afraid of no benefit.
An Open Heaven Realm Early Stage, and also a reincarnated Great Power, what a great opportunity.
Other cultivators might fear reincarnated Great Powers for what cards they could hold in their hands, as once unleashed, the consequences could be unpredictable.
Nan Longtu and Xie Changxuan had been worried about this before, but hundreds of years ago, they jointly killed a reincarnated Great Power in the Open Heaven Realm Early Stage, finding indeed that there was a trump card, but it was manageable!
These so-called reincarnated Great Powers were driven into difficult situations in the past, hence reincarnating; if they really had profound depths, they would definitely be placed among their own race.
This chance coincidence of being reborn into another race can only be considered a desperate choice.
Xie Changxuan glanced over at Lv Fan beside him and thought that killing him outright might offend Liao Xia, but erasing part of his memory wouldn’t be too problematic, and Liao Xia probably wouldn’t bother checking his servant’s memories.
“Let’s go!”
Nan Longtu grabbed Lv Fan’s body and flew towards the Human Clan Qiankun City ten thousand li away, with Xie Changxuan following closely behind.
Inside Qiankun City, Chen Fei’s eyes suddenly opened, his figure appearing in the sky above Qiankun City, his eyes slightly squinting as he looked forward.
