Chen Fei’s brow glowed with a beam of light, enveloping the Celestial Azure Flower within. After a moment’s inspection without detecting any issues, Chen Fei ingested the Celestial Azure Flower along with the medicinal liquid.

Just like the first tconsuming the Celestial Azure Flower, the peculiar energy first dispersed throughout his limbs and body, then concentrated around the apertures under the influence of the medicinal liquid.

Nourished by the energy of the Celestial Azure Flower, a faint glow emitted from the apertures.

With the Heavenly Eye’s insight, Chen Fei could perceive a subtle enhancement around the apertures. Although the magnitude was not significant, the continuity was noteworthy.

Compared to the first tconsuming the Celestial Azure Flower, there was a slight decline in effectiveness, but it wasn’t conspicuous. Clearly, Chen Fei had not yet reached the full potential of the Celestial Azure Flower’s medicinal resistance.

Chen Fei opened his eyes; the absorption of the Celestial Azure Flower would still require several hours. A stream of blood flew out from his arm, starting to encircle the entire cultivation room, while simultaneously activating the other two cultivation techniques within his body.

The comprehension of the three cultivation techniques appeared in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness. Instead of closing his eyes to cultivate, Chen Fei retrieved the pill furnace from the spatial grid.

As he opened the furnace lid and gazed at its contents, Chen Fei’s eyes flickered with emotion.

Each item inside the pill furnace held immense potential for Chen Fei’s current cultivation, each capable of advancing his level of attainment.

However, frustratingly, every one of these items bore the mark of the Black Divine.

Perhaps these marks were subtle; even with the consumption of these elixirs, they might not manifest in ordinary circumstances. Yet, the potential danger loomed.

Even in the future encounters with the Black Divine, these latent risks could spell Chen Fei’s demise.

Knowing the pitfalls ahead, Chen Fei couldn’t simply plunge headlong into them.

The Purple Fire Spirit Pill flew out and landed in Chen Fei’s hand. With the Heavenly Eye activated, he enveloped the Purple Fire Spirit Pill within.

In the black-and-white vision, faintly, Chen Fei could discern a shadow on the Purple Fire Spirit Pill that didn’t belong.

Though elusive, this shadow seemed like an illusion, yet with the Heavenly Eye’s ability to perceive, its existence was undeniable, devoid of any hallucination.

Chen Fei furrowed his brows slightly. What the Heavenly Eye revealed merely confirmed his suspicions. The current issue was how to remove the Black Divine’s imprint from the elixirs.

If mishandled, none of the items inside the pill furnace would be of any use to Chen Fei.

Leaving aside other considerations, discarding the teleportation runes would indeed be a great loss.

Chen Fei pondered for a moment before a mysterious Strange Heart Origin flew out from the Qiankun Bag, landing on the ground.

With a gesture of his right hand, an array pattern appeared on the ground. In just a moment, the Heart Refinement Formation took shape.

The Black Divine shared ssimilarities with the Strange Heart Origin in certain traits, but they were not entirely identical. Chen Fei was unsure whether the Heart Refinement Formation would have any effect on the Black Divine.

Even if it did, given the current number of layers Chen Fei had stacked in the Heart Refinement Formation, cleansing the contamination from the exchange items would be beyond his capabilities.

However, Chen Fei didn’t intend to rely solely on the Heart Refinement Formation to cleanse the contamination from the exchange items. He needed to continue experimenting with other methods.

In the blink of an eye, the Heart Refinement Formation had already been layered five times. This was not Chen Fei’s limit, but it was sufficient for experimentation.

The Purple Fire Spirit Pill flew into the Heart Refinement Formation, which emitted a faint glow. Invisible forces were applied to the Purple Fire Spirit Pill, causing the flow of light on the pill to alternate between brightness and dimness.

As tpassed, nothing emerged from the Purple Fire Spirit Pill.

Just as Chen Fei was preparing to add another layer to the Heart Refinement Formation, a faint green mist finally drifted out from the pill.

Chen Fei’s mind stirred as he retrieved a spiritual treasure from the spatial grid. Then, using two spatial grids—one containing the Purple Fire Spirit Pill and the other holding the green energy—he stored both items separately.

Inside the spatial grids, both the Purple Fire Spirit Pill and the green energy remained completely motionless.

In the spatial grids, the rule was that only one item could be manipulated at a time—a rule Chen Fei had exploited extensively in the past.

Now, Chen Fei’s task remained to attempt the direct removal of the Black Divine’s contamination according to the rules of the spatial grids.

A thought fell upon the two spatial grids. The grid containing the Purple Fire Spirit Pill exhibited a slight ripple, followed by a green energy drifting out from the pill.

A look of joy blossomed in Chen Fei’s eyes. He hadn’t expected the experiment to go so smoothly.

Perhaps, the dominance of the spatial grids remained unchanged.

The green energy floating out from the Purple Fire Spirit Pill appeared in the other spatial grid, merging with the original small thread of green energy.

In fact, the two spatial grids were interconnected, a fact Chen Fei had discovered shortly after exchanging for the second grid.

Today, Chen Fei’s idea was quite simple.

Since a single spatial grid could only hold one item, he would make the grid perceive the green energy as the second item.

Normally, the spatial grid wouldn’t actively differentiate, as the green energy had long been mixed with the exchange item and could be considered as one.

However, by separating the green energy and placing it in one spatial grid, Chen Fei informed the grid that it was a distinct entity.

With this green contaminating energy, the spatial grid now had a reference point, making the following steps straightforward. Chen Fei simply instructed the spatial grid to separate the green from the Purple Fire Spirit Pill.

Without any hitches, the distinctly high-level green energy was separated by Chen Fei.

Of course, it was fortunate that the Heart Refinement Formation was powerful enough to extract sof the green energy.

Without this sample, the spatial grid wouldn’t have had a reference and would have been powerless.

“If this works, then in the future, can the essence of the Strange Heart Origin be separated in the sway?”

Chen Fei suddenly thought of the Strange Heart Origin essence he usually absorbed. If he could refine a bit of contamination with the Heart Refinement Formation and then use the spatial grid to separate it, perhaps it could work.

“What about the spiritual essence absorbed through the Slaughter Spirit Technique?”

Chen Fei considered the essence obtained after slaying, but it seemed that the Heart Refinement Formation couldn’t refine those soul fragments without a reference, thus making separation impossible.

Moreover, within the spiritual essence, besides the soul fragments, there were other impurities. Realistically, refining them would likely require a considerable amount of time.

Putting aside thoughts of spiritual essence for now, Chen Fei began placing the items from the pill furnace into the spatial grid one by one.

Since the contamination from the Black Divine was consistent, there was no need to change the reference, allowing Chen Fei to quickly sift through the dozen or so exchange items in the pill furnace.

After categorizing the pills, Chen Fei glanced at the green energy in the spatial grid. After a moment of contemplation, he used a jade bottle to contain the green energy.

Chen Fei hadn’t yet decided how to utilize this energy, but discarding it would be somewhat regrettable.

Glancing at the location of his apertures, Chen Fei noted that the absorption of the Celestial Azure Flower would still require stime.

Chen Fei wasn’t in a hurry. He closed his eyes again, the crimson light casting its glow on his cheeks as the chamber fell into silence.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. The energy of the Celestial Azure Flower had already merged into Chen Fei’s apertures, and the aftereffects of opening the four forbidden techniques had been completely eliminated over these five days of quiet cultivation.

After five days of meditation, Chen Fei’s physical condition reached its peak state.

In his hand appeared the Blood Lotus Pill, a third-grade superior pill purchased from Xiang Qianling.

Several Blood Lotus Pills were swallowed by Chen Fei. The majestic medicinal power surged through his body, while the special energy contained in the spiritual treasure was also absorbed by the Dragon Elephant Induction Point.

With the double enhancement, the proficiency of the Profound Suppressing Dragon Elephant soared at an astonishing rate.

At this moment, Chen Fei’s apertures had reached their optimal state. If he intended to forcibly break through to the sixth revolution of his apertures and form the ultimate-grade apertures, there would be no problem at all.

However, Chen Fei’s current conditions were exceedingly abundant. He wanted to see if he could push the collapse of his apertures to an even more extrlevel on the basis of forming the ultimate-grade apertures.

Ten days later, as Chen Fei swallowed the Purple Fire Spirit Pill, in an instant, a flignited from within his body.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Fei found himself engulfed in a blaze.

With an unwavering expression, Chen Fei perceived that his skin, flesh, bones, as well as his internal organs, were all becoming tougher under the burning flames.

The proficiency of the Profound Suppressing Dragon Elephant, already on the verge of perfection, soared at an astonishing speed with the remaining proficiency skyrocketing.

Chen Fei’s body trembled slightly, causing ripples in the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

“Hum!”

After an indeterminate amount of time, as a wave of fluctuations emanated from Chen Fei’s body, a calm aura involuntarily enveloped the entire cultivation chamber.

Chen Fei’s eyes snapped open, his body levitated, and as he touched down on the ground, a ripple spread out from under his feet, causing the formation in the entire cultivation chamber to tremble slightly.

With the Profound Suppressing Dragon Elephant perfected, Chen Fei’s physique had directly reached the pinnacle of the aperture realm, and the speed of his physical recovery had increased even further.

Slowly clenching his fists, the elemental energy within Chen Fei’s body boiled instantly. With the activation of the four forbidden techniques, his aura rose steadily.

Half a month ago, when Chen Fei activated the four forbidden techniques, his flesh and blood had struggled to withstand the strain. Even a slight battle would have left him with injuries.

However, now that he activated the four forbidden techniques again, his body could withstand the strain without any adverse effects. The four forbidden techniques were poised to becChen Fei’s new combat norm.

As the forbidden techniques dissipated, Chen Fei resumed his seated position.

Without pause, Chen Fei formed hand seals, and immense pressure began to appear around his apertures, compressing them inward.

With the breakthrough of the Profound Suppressing Dragon Elephant, Chen Fei’s current state had reached its peak.

Under the Heavenly Eye’s gaze, the apertures began to collapse. Whether it was due to the apertures becoming tougher or the synergistic changes brought about by the improvement of his physique, this compression seemed even easier and more effortless than during the fourth and fifth revolutions.

After a quarter of an hour, the size of the apertures reached the level of lower-grade apertures.

At this point, if Chen Fei were to stop, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would flock to him, allowing him to achieve the later stage of the aperture realm.

However, Chen Fei would not engage in such short-sighted actions. The compression of his apertures continued.

Half an hour passed, and the apertures reached the level of middle-grade.

One hour later, they ascended to the upper-grade area.

After two hours, they finally reached the pinnacle of the aperture realm.

At this point, the power within the apertures had reached its peak, pressing against any further compression.

Chen Fei’s hand seals changed, and the power of the Profound Suppressing Dragon Elephant surged, directly transmitting to the Dragon Elephant Induction Point, which instantly pressed down on the apertures.

Within the apertures, it was as if a flash of lightning had passed through. Despite being seemingly impossible to compress further, they collapsed another layer, reaching a new position.

“Hum!”

The formation in the cultivation chamber trembled violently, and the middle-grade elemental stones on the ground instantly turned to powder.

Countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth crazily poured into Chen Fei’s body.

Chen Fei’s eyes suddenly opened wide.. He had reached the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm—achievement unlocked!
