Atop the Ancestral Master Peak, Lin Fei sat cross-legged quietly. The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth formed a gigantic pillar that was poured into Lin Fei's body.
"Whoosh."
Lin Fei opened his eyes. He gently shook his head and slowly said, "Too slow, the conversion efficiency of the Saber Essence is too slow. Without a Martial Saint level technique, I can only operate the Saber Essence myself, capturing the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and transforming it into Saber Essence.
But this efficiency is too slow! And even with such a slow efficiency, it still requires a massive amount of Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth. The amount of Spiritual Qi in the Nine Profound Sect is too little, not enough to support the cultivation of a Martial Saint."
After achieving the Martial Saint level, Lin Fei discovered it turned out that the demand for Spiritual Qi by a Martial Saint was so massive.
The location of this Nine Profound Sect was relatively good. The Spiritual Qi was abundant. However, it was not enough to satisfy Lin Fei's daily cultivation.
This was due to Lin Fei's own cultivation. He didn't practice for very long each day. If he found a Martial Saint-level technique in the future, then practicing the technique every day, every moment required a vast amount of Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth. At that time, Lin Fei was afraid the Spiritual Qi of the Nine Profound Sect would be even less sufficient.
Of course, now Lin Fei was just consolidating his Martial Saint cultivation. He hadn't thought so much yet. After all, a Martial Saint-level technique was not so easy to obtain.
"System."
Lin Fei had a thought in his heart and called up the system to check his martial arts.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Early Martial Saint
Saber Intent: Perfection (Progress 5%)
Fist Intent: Mastery (Progress 81%)
Immeasurable Fist: Transcendence (Progress 50%)
Close Yet Distant: Transcendence (Progress 0%)
Lin Fei's realm was still in the early stage of Martial Saint. The True Intention Scroll had disappeared. Because the True Intention Scroll was just an innate level technique. What it cultivated was also Saber Qi.
Now Lin Fei had achieved Martial Saint. What he cultivated was Saber Essence. He absorbed Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth, one step at a time, directly transforming it into Saber Essence.
The Saber Essence needed to accumulate over a long period and it took an unknown amount of Saber Essence to reach the mid-stage of Martial Saint and advance Lin Fei's martial arts cultivation.
Of course, Lin Fei wasn't too concerned about improving his cultivation right now. This was not something that could be improved in a short time. After all, he didn't even have a Martial Saint-level technique.
As for saber techniques, fist techniques, lightness techniques, etc. They could also be used with Saber Essence. This point was not affected at all. Moreover, deploying the Saber Essence, power would be even more terrifying.
After all, Saber Qi and Saber Essence were actually the same kinds of power. With the same properties, the Saber Essence was just Saber Qi that had been compressed continuously. It only formed a kind of high-density energy in the end.
"I wonder if Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai have also succeeded in establishing their foundations and have become Martial Saints?"
Lin Fei lifted his head, looking at the void outside the Nine Profound Sect. Back then, he, Liu Yibai, and Shen Lianxin went to the Northern Territory together. They killed an exotic beast together and reached physical perfection together.
If there were no accidents, Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin should have also achieved Martial Saint. If the other two had become Martial Saints, then, their saber intent and sword intent would be pretty much the same. Even if Lin Fei's saber intent was a bit stronger, there wouldn't be a qualitative difference. Unless Lin Fei's saber intent could transform into saber momentum. However, that's very difficult.
Lin Fei's current saber intent had only reached cultivation progress of 5%. To reach cultivation progress of 100%, it could then be transformed into saber momentum. Therefore, Lin Fei's only advantage was the Saber Essence. Lin Fei's Saber Essence came from the accumulation of inner power, True Qi, and Saber Qi. Each step was much stronger than martial artists of the same level. So this step-by-step accumulation had reached the present.
Therefore, Lin Fei's current Saber Essence and the True Essence of other Martial Saints might already be a huge difference. Even when Lin Fei was building his foundation, the Dao Body he remodeled also became stronger because it was close to the Saber Essence. The Dao Body and Saber Essence were Lin Fei's current advantages.
"Foundation Establishment...I wonder if my saber can cut through Foundation Establishment cultivators?"
Lin Fei murmured in a low voice. His tone was very calm. He wasn't sure of victory.
After all, the only time he competed with a real Foundation Establishment cultivator was when the Supreme Elder of the royal family had not passed away. What's more, at that time, the Supreme Elder of the royal family did not go all out and Lin Fei hadn't become a Martial Saint. Therefore, how strong a Foundation Establishment cultivator was, Lin Fei was not clear.
Now, Lin Fei's strength growth was very slow. Relying on the Saber Essence, it was unknown how long it will take to accumulate more Saber Essence. But if Lin Fei wanted to improve his strength in a short time, relying on the Saber Essence was not enough.
"Saber intent, saber momentum. Only by transforming saber intent into saber momentum. Only then can it be called a true saber saint! In three hundred years, that sword saint of the Hidden Sword Sect has definitely not cultivated sword momentum. Actually, he cannot be considered a true sword saint."
A gleam flashed in Lin Fei's eyes. He was now a Martial Saint. But Lin Fei didn't just want to be a Martial Saint. He wanted to be a Saber Saint!
However, only by understanding saber momentum could he be considered a Saber Saint.
But saber momentum, how difficult is it?
So far, Lin Fei's saber intent had only increased to 5%. Afterward, there was no movement at all.
"Initially, the Heavenly Saber Art absorbed other perfection-level saber techniques, which improved its cultivation progress. The improvement of saber intent is actually the improvement of the realm of saber technique.
As long as the saber technique is stronger, the foundation of the saber technique is more profound, then the saber intent should be able to improve.
With my current realm of saber technique, I should be able to learn any saber technique at a glance. Especially with body refining and acquired level saber techniques, reaching perfection should not be a problem. Perhaps, it's time to try the Martial Arts Pavilion."
Lin Fei thought for a moment and immediately made a decision in his heart. If he wanted to challenge a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he shouldn't be here in bitter guard. He still needed to find a way to improve his strength. A martial artist wanted to improve his strength, he could only rely on various martial arts.
Therefore, Lin Fei got up. He directly walked through the air and descended from Ancestral Master Peak step by step.
Soon, Lin Fei arrived at the Martial Arts Pavilion. The Martial Arts Pavilion was still guarded by that acquired third-level elder.
Upon seeing Lin Fei, the elder immediately stood up, his expression showing a hint of excitement, he respectfully said, "Greetings Grand Elder, may I ask what martial arts you need?"
Lin Fei glanced at the elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion, nodded, and said, "Send all the saber techniques, whether they are body refining saber techniques, acquired saber techniques, or innate saber techniques, all into the training room."
"All?"
The elder was somewhat surprised. But he still promptly complied.
Lin Fei was the Grand Elder. Moreover, he had heard some rumors. It seemed that the Grand Elder in front of him was very likely to have become a Martial Saint!
The only Martial Saint in the Nine Profound Sect, even in the whole Great Chang now!
Therefore, the elder was so respectful. Lin Fei went directly to the training room.
About half an hour later. The elder had brought all the saber techniques that could be found in the Martial Arts Pavilion.
Around Lin Fei, various martial arts secrets were almost piled up like a mountain. These martial arts were all saber techniques. Among them, body refining and acquired-level saber techniques were the most especially the body refining level. It didn't involve the circulation of inner power. They were just some saber techniques. The number was as many as hundreds!
Then there were the acquired level saber techniques. The number was also huge. At least more than two hundred!
The least was the innate level saber techniques. Only a scant twenty or so.
So many saber technique secrets. Even if one wanted to read them all, it would take a lot of time. Maybe he wouldn't be able to finish reading them in a few days. However, Lin Fei did not intend to read them himself.
"Boom".
In the next moment, Lin Fei's saber intent erupted. His saber intent enveloped all the saber technique secrets in the room. At the same time, Lin Fei pointed with his finger.
A wisp of saber essence that condensed into form and condensed into a Heavenly Saber. With the appearance of the Heavenly Saber, the power of the Heavenly Saber also appeared.
Saber intent, saber essence, the momentum of the Heavenly Saber. Three forces that were closely related to the saber, at this moment, all filled this small room.
Lin Fei's gaze was calm, looking at these hundreds of saber technique secrets. At this moment, these saber technique secrets, in his eyes, were as if they were no longer rigid books and texts but a living "life".
Lin Fei and these saber technique secrets were equal. Therefore, Lin Fei also word by word, spoke to these saber technique secrets, "I have just become a Martial Saint and wish to evolve my saber intent into saber momentum. I need countless saber techniques to enhance the foundation of the saber technique. Would you like to help me evolve saber momentum?
If the saber momentum is achieved, I will be a Saber Saint! All saber techniques will be engraved in my supreme Saber Dao! By then, you will no longer be ordinary saber techniques. Instead, you will be the cornerstone of my supreme Saber Dao! If anyone is willing, they can reach perfection on their own and integrate into my saber intent."
After Lin Fei finished speaking, he did not say anything else. What should be said, he had said. And now, he could only wait quietly. Waiting for the choice of these saber techniques.
After all, no matter how strong a saber technique was, it might be lost, damaged, or incomplete.
However, once it became the cornerstone of Lin Fei's Saber Dao, then these saber techniques would exist forever in another way. Because no matter what, the Saber Dao would never be destroyed!
Atop the Ancestral Master Peak, Lin Fei sat cross-legged quietly. The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth formed a gigantic pillar that was poured into Lin Fei's body.
"Whoosh."
Lin Fei opened his eyes. He gently shook his head and slowly said, "Too slow, the conversion efficiency of the Saber Essence is too slow.
