Just You?

Chen Fei's Heavy Origin Sword Art had long since reached Great Perfection. Its circulation within his body had already become an instinct, requiring very little Spiritual Power from Chen Fei to drive it.

This was a state only those late-stage Aperture Refining Realm experts, or even Peak Aperture Refining Realm experts, could attain after cultivating their techniques to Great Perfection. At this stage, martial artists cultivated faster than those in the Early Stage and Mid-stage Aperture Refining Realm.

What truly limited late-stage and peak Aperture Refining Realm experts from growing stronger was the profundity of their primary cultivation techniques.

Take the Heavy Origin Sword Art, for example. It could only open eighty acupoints. Once all eighty were opened, there was no road ahead. One could either switch to a better technique or gamble on the possibility of reaching the Joint Aperture Realm.

With the Dragon Subduing Elephant within him, the vital energy that entered Chen Fei's body had no time to dissipate before the Dragon Subduing Elephant firmly locked it inside, where it was then digested and absorbed by the Heavy Origin Sword Art.

Thus, after reaching the Mid-stage Aperture Refining Realm, Chen Fei's cultivation speed had not only failed to slow down—it had actually accelerated.

It was not the windy season now, and not a soul could be seen nearby.
