Chapter 776: Chapter 2: Nightmare Arrives at the Residence, Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Finally, they set their eyes on Li Fei, who was also in the Daluo Sect at that time. The reason they hadn’t confirmed it earlier was that Li Fei had only revealed his Martial Arts Realm and hadn’t shown his Magic Cultivation. It wasn’t until news of Li Fei’s Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts spread that the Nightmare Sect finally locked onto him. Before departing, the Sect Master of the Nightmare Sect, Ji Longyi, had said to Shen Zhen: “Once you find the person holding the Dream Command, spare no effort to retrieve it from them, even if it’s a True Master from the Daluo Sect!” However, when they discovered the Dream Command might be with Li Fei, the Nightmare Sect hesitated. Compared to the fallen Daluo Sect, which had been heavily sanctioned by the court. At that time, Li Fei had already been titled a Marquis and named the Ancient and Modern First Dao Foundation Period. His prospects in both court and cultivation made the Nightmare Sect more wary! Thus, the Nightmare Sect never took action, unwilling to easily create enemies. Then, while the Nightmare Sect was entangled in how to reclaim their sect relic, the Blue Patrol Pavilion held a public vote, and so Shen Zhen came to Lanling City. What followed was the incident on March 1st. After that day, the Nightmare Sect was no longer conflicted: They abandoned the pursuit through force and chose to exchange benefits to retrieve the Dream Command from Li Fei. Moreover, Shen Zhen spoke diplomatically, not directly stating that the Dream Command was with Li Fei, but subtly suggesting that if anyone was willing to return it to the Nightmare Sect, they were willing to pay a price. This left much room, so neither side would feel embarrassed. Fortunately, on the day Li Fei completed the ‘Life Bridge’, the aura of his Lifebound Item was not the Dream Command. On the 1st, after breaking through publicly, Shen Zhen was once again convinced that Li Fei hadn’t refined the Dream Command as his Lifebound Item. Although it was unclear why Li Fei would disregard a True One Magical Artifact in favor of another Magic Item as his Lifebound Item, it was undoubtedly great news for the Nightmare Sect. Once Li Fei refined the Dream Command into a Lifebound Item, the two sides would utterly oppose each other, leaving no room for negotiation! Read complete version only at novel※fire.net Hearing Shen Zhen’s words, Li Fei was also silent. In truth, since deciding to pursue ‘Refining with Body’, the Dream Command was no longer essential to him. It wasn’t that he couldn’t return it to the Nightmare Sect. But to give it back directly, he asked himself if he possessed such noble character. After all, it wasn’t as if he had stolen the item from the Nightmare Sect. Finding an extremely valuable item by the roadside and returning it, one would expect some acknowledgment; let alone a True One Magical Artifact? The levels of Magic Artifacts can be simply divided into four grades: ‘Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Huang’. The lowest Huang Grade Magic Artifact, made from Lower Three Grades Implants, is typically the Magic Artifact of a Possession Stage Mage. For instance, Li Fei’s Flying Sword Body incorporates twelve types of Implants, but they are all Lower Three Grades, making it the lowest Huang Grade Magic Artifact before the breakthrough. Above that is the Xuan Grade, referring to Magic Artifacts with Innate Divine Abilities. Once True Power is condensed and a True Spirit is refined, the innate ability of the Lifebound Magic Item forms, upgrading from Huang Grade to Xuan Grade. Above Xuan is Earth Level and Heavenly Level, both linked to the ‘Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend System’ of Magic Artifacts. The Seventy-two Earthly Fiends and Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs refer to the seventy-two Earth Fiend Level Implants and thirty-six Heavenly Gang Level Implants, respectively. These Implants are Mid Third Grade Magic Implants and, like the Martial Arts Foundation, have various combinations. Completing a full set of Earth Fiend Level Implants, after refining to perfection, upgrades a Xuan Grade Magic Artifact to an Earth Level Magic Artifact. At this stage, the Magic Artifact can unleash Earth Fiend Formations, akin to a Martial Artist’s Martial Arts Leader. Thus, a True Master who refines an Earth Level Magic Artifact is elevated to a top-level True Master. The next step is to complete a Heavenly Gang Level Implant set and, after refining to perfection, the Magic Artifact upgrades from Earth Level to Heavenly Level. By then, achieving Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Great Perfection, it will be but one step from a breakthrough! Beyond this, stepping into the True Unity Realm, one becomes a True Monarch, with Lifebound Magic Items transforming into Lifebound Magic Treasures, containing the Great Dao Law within. This is the complete ascension path of the Magic Dao. A True One Magical Artifact is the fallen Lifebound Magic Treasure of a True Monarch, possessing the qualities of Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Great Perfection, with all of the over one hundred Implants self-contained and complete! Therefore, in terms of value, a True One Magical Artifact is actually even more precious than a Heavenly Level Magic Artifact! “I wonder what conditions your sect is willing to offer?” Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen was delighted and quickly replied: “It depends on what the other party needs; everything is negotiable!” In fact, speaking in such a manner could easily lead to exorbitant demands. But the value of a True One Magical Artifact is evident, and Li Fei’s status and potential are also apparent. Rather than employing various schemes and tactics, it’s better to present sincerity directly. Before coming today, Shen Zhen was already mentally prepared to be ruthlessly extorted! Li Fei looked at Shen Zhen’s expression, paused for a moment, and then suddenly said seriously: “Since True Master is so straightforward, I’ll be direct too; the Dream Command is indeed in my possession.” Shen Zhen was taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting Li Fei to be so frank. In the past, Li Fei would not directly disclose such matters. But today, he has the confidence to face many people and things! Since Shen Zhen is so sincere, he doesn’t want to make things difficult for the Nightmare Sect either. “To be honest, since this is the supreme treasure of your sect, it should be returned to its rightful owner.” “True Master Shen, please allow me to finish.” “Please go ahead, Marquis.” Shen Zhen already used respectful language. Li Fei looked at her: “I’m not interested in how this item was lost initially. The person who stole the Dream Command is dead, but he left behind a disciple, who is now under my command.” Shen Zhen immediately said: “Rest assured, Marquis, since that traitor is dead, as long as we can retrieve the Dream Command, my sect will not pursue anyone else!” Li Fei looked into Shen Zhen’s eyes and nodded: “Good, I trust True Master Shen. As for other matters, I am currently cultivating in Magic Dao and will have a significant demand for Mid Third Grade magic implants in the future; I hope the Nightmare Sect can provide me with a purchase channel so that I can buy a batch of cultivation resources from your sect every year.” He has already achieved True Master status and needs to incorporate Mid Third Grade implants into his Flying Sword Body to enhance it and advance to Earth Level and Heavenly Level as soon as possible. A set of Earth Fiend level implants requires seventy-two types, and a set of Heavenly Gang level implants requires thirty-six types. This is far more than what a Tao Foundation needs! Moreover, a Martial Arts Master also needs to incorporate many Martial Arts Mid Third Grade implants to condense new divine skills. Li Fei is in dual cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, so his demand for implants is double or even more than others; he also needs to train his subordinates, so the more channels for cultivation resources, the better. Li Fei: “No, that’s all.” Shen Zhen’s eyes widened. She had been prepared for Li Fei to make exorbitant demands, but the conditions he finally proposed were just this? To purchase a batch of cultivation resources from the Nightmare Sect every year. It is to buy, not take. Moreover, Li Fei did not specify the exact quantity. “Is the Marquis not joking?” Shen Zhen’s voice was somewhat trembling. Li Fei smiled, then said seriously: “I am serious, Marquis.” Shen Zhen is already over a hundred years old this year, and only because she has practiced the Taoist beauty cultivation technique does she appear young. This True Master, who is over a hundred and has weathered many storms, is still a woman after all, and is more emotional; at this moment, her eyes were slightly red. Returning things to their rightful owner seems like an eternal principle, but if one asks oneself: Picking up an item worth ten or a hundred yuan can be returned to the owner without hesitation. Picking up an item worth ten billion or a hundred billion, and having the ability to keep it, how many can achieve what Li Fei has done? She took a deep breath, stood up, and solemnly bowed to Li Fei: “On behalf of the entire Nightmare Sect, Shen Zhen thanks the Marquis Jing’an!” This True Master, who is over a hundred and has experienced many storms, is still a woman, and more emotional; at this moment, her eyes were slightly red.
