Early that morning, Zhao Ruizheng and the others, along with several from the Yuan Chen Sword Sect led by Qu Qingsheng, arrived before the central hall.
They were not there to see anyone off, but to accompany them to the site of the Life and Death Duel.
Not only Qianyan City, but every other faction participating in this Life and Death Duel had likewise sent people along.
Chen Fei appeared at the entrance to the central hall, exchanged a few words with Qu Qingsheng and the others, then handed a Jade Box to Qu Qingsheng for safekeeping.
Qu Qingsheng carefully put it away without asking any questions.
Chen Fei had also given an identical Jade Box to his avatar. When the time came to enter the Life and Death Duel, Chen Fei would not send out his avatar, as there was little point in doing so.
Over the past month, Chen Fei had tried to obtain an avatar-type cultivation art, only to discover in the end that it was not even worth integrating.
The original Water Source Fiend Shadow Art had been fused by Chen Fei with many other types of cultivation arts, rather than merely avatar-related inheritances.
This piecing together of odds and ends had instead unlocked most of the limitations on the avatar's growth. The sole obstacle was Chen Fei's own divine soul.
An avatar could at most possess half the divine soul strength of its true body. Chen Fei now had six divine palaces, while his avatar had entered the Mid Mountain Sea Realm, possessing exactly four divine palaces.
The two Jade Boxes contained the same thing: some of Chen Fei's blood.
Chen Fei had no fear whatsoever regarding a Mid Fourth Order Life and Death Duel, but there was nothing wrong with preparing an extra escape
