"Roar..."
The exotic beast roared furiously at Lin Fei. Incredibly, its massive body even leaped into the sky. Opening its huge maw, it wanted to swallow Lin Fei in one gulp.
Lin Fei's expression remained indifferent. He didn't even show any intention of using martial arts.
Lin Fei extended his fair hand. With a thought, a small exquisite pagoda quickly emerged in the palm of his hand.
"Sky Reaching Tower, suppress!"
Lin Fei threw the Sky Reaching Tower into the void. Instantly, the Sky Reaching Tower grew with the wind. In an instant, it towered several hundred meters high. Moreover, it continued to grow wildly, reaching a height of thousands of meters. The mighty Sky Reaching Tower descended from the heavens, directly landing on the massive exotic beast.
"Boom".
The gigantic exotic beast was directly pushed down by the Sky Reaching Tower, falling onto the glacier. Although the glacier had just been shattered by the exotic beast, it quickly reformed and became incredibly sturdy.
The exotic beast fell heavily onto the glacier, causing the glacier to crack. Despite the exotic beast's furious roars, yet, the Sky Reaching Tower was like a true mountain, firmly suppressing the exotic beast.
The Sky Reaching Tower might seem like it couldn't take a single blow in front of Lin Fei. But in reality, this was a genuine Golden Core level magic treasure. Even if it was manipulated by the spirit, it could only unleash two to three-tenths of its power. Yet even this two to three-tenths of power was enough to suppress an exotic beast. There was no problem at all.
Lin Fei looked at the exotic beast, speaking in a calm tone: "Perhaps, you are one of the few remaining exotic beasts in the Great Chang. I was able to build my foundation and become a Martial Saint, and the exotic beasts contributed greatly. I won't kill you, go."
Lin Fei extended his hand, directly taking back the Sky Reaching Tower. Now, in Lin Fei's eyes, this exotic beast seemed too weak, just the Sky Reaching Tower was enough to suppress it. If Lin Fei were to make a move, a single saber could slay the exotic beast!
Yet in the end, Lin Fei did not slay this exotic beast. There were now too few exotic beasts in the Great Chang. Killing one meant one less. To achieve Martial Saint status in the future, how difficult would it be? Therefore, Lin Fei didn't want to senselessly slaughter these exotic beasts.
"Roar......"
Exotic beasts were intelligent. Ultimately, they were fundamentally different from wild beasts, knowing that it was no match for Lin Fei. So, it let out a low growl, quickly breaking through the glacier and diving into the ice river.
Lin Fei didn't pay any attention to the exotic beast. He continued to walk forward on the glacier, step by step. Every step spaned hundreds of meters. His speed getting faster and faster.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Lin Fei didn't know how long he had been walking. Even when night fell, he continued to move forward. But the glacier seemed to have no end.
One day, two days, three days...
With Lin Fei's speed, he didn't know how far he could travel in three days. However, the glacier in front of him still seemed endless.
Suddenly, Lin Fei stopped. He lowered his head, seeing traces of blood on the glacier ahead. Although it had turned into ice, it was still very clear. The ice contained fresh blood.
"I've been here before..."
Lin Fei's eyes hardened. This blood, wasn't it left behind by the exotic beast when he suppressed it with the Sky Reaching Tower? And now it appeared here again!
Lin Fei remembered he had been walking forward all the time. But unexpectedly, he had circled back. In fact, he might have been walking in circles all this time in the last three days.
"Formation!"
Lin Fei immediately thought it might be a formation.
The formations were laid by Qi cultivators. Had such means. They could make people feel like they're moving forward. But in reality, they're just going in circles.
However, with Lin Fei's current strength, how could he not detect it was a formation? Yet now, he didn't have the slightest hint of it.
"Let me see what secrets are hidden beneath this glacier."
Lin Fei was too lazy to continue walking. He directly flew up into the void.
Lin Fei's saber momentum burst forth. Doing everything he could to expand the range of his saber momentum. Then, Lin Fei's saber essence also burst forth, covering every part of his saber momentum.
"Fall!"
In the next moment, countless saber essence fell. Like raindrops, the surrounding glacier was instantly cut open by the fierce saber essence, shattering one after another.
"Boom."
As far as the eye could see, the endless glacier was all slashed apart by Lin Fei's saber energy. The ice river immediately surfaced in front of Lin Fei's eyes. But still, it was boundless. There was no change at all. After a while, the ice river froze again. The boundless glacier appeared again!
Lin Fei was silent. He knew there was a problem with this glacier. However, with his current abilities. He couldn't figure out the reason.
"Go south!"
Lin Fei didn't continue to stay on the glacier. Instead, he went to the South again. The south was a lush forest, mountains, stretching endlessly, there was no end in sight.
Lin Fei still kept flying forward. However, the experience was the same as with the glacier. After flying for several days, he returned to the original place.
Lin Fei then went to the west of Great Chang. That was an endless desert. In the desert, Lin Fei also kept flying. However, he still returned to the original place.
For half a month, Lin Fei had been rushing to the north, south, and west of Great Chang. However, without exception, he couldn't get out. No matter how he walked, eventually, he would return to the original place.
At this moment, anyone would know that there must be a problem here. It was as if the whole Great Chang was "trapped". No matter how he walked, he couldn't get out.
Lin Fei returned to the Nine Profound Sect. Now, the only place he hadn't been to was the East. Because there was an ocean. The ocean was boundless.
According to the records of the Hidden Sword Sect and the statement of the Sky Reaching Tower's spirit. If so many Foundation Establishment and even Golden Core cultivators really left Great Chang, the north, south, and west were all unable to leave. Then there was only one direction to leave, the east.
Go to sea!
However, once at sea, if he could really leave, then Lin Fei definitely wouldn't return to Great Chang in a short time.
Lin Fei was still considering.
"System."
Lin Fei summoned the system panel, checking the martial arts on the panel.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Early Martial Saint
Saber Momentum: Mastery (Progress 10%)
Fist intent: Mastery (Progress 81%)
Immeasurable Fist: Transcendence (Progress 50%)
Close Yet Distant: Transcendence (Progress 0%)
The progress of saber momentum reached 10%. This was because Lin Fei had evolved the Mountain River Saber and Ultimate Saber Slash into saber momentum. Therefore, the progress of saber momentum practice improved. But each saber technique only added 5% to Lin Fei's practice progress.
To know, when Lin Fei's saber momentum wasn't at mastery, a saber technique evolved into saber momentum could increase the practice progress by 20%.
According to this progress, to make saber momentum transcendence needed 20 top-notch innate saber techniques that could cultivate saber intent and evolve into saber momentum, only then was it possible for saber momentum to transcend.
However, Lin Fei searched all over the world, but he didn't find more top-notch saber techniques. So, whether it was in terms of techniques or saber momentum, he had now reached a dead end. He reached a bottleneck!
"It seems I really have to leave. Great Chang can't make my martial arts go any further. If I want to be immortal, I can only leave Great Chang and pursue the highest realm of martial arts..."
Lin Fei gradually made up his mind. However, before leaving, there was always a figure in Lin Fei's mind.
"One last time..."
Lin Fei's figure flashed and turned into a streak of light, disappearing in the Nine Profound Sect.
Chang City, within the palace. Now, the entire palace was full of joy. Tomorrow, Emperor Yongqing was going to hold a ceremony to abdicate. He would pass the throne to the Crown Princess Ling Yao. Therefore, the entire palace was very busy.
As for why the emperor would abdicate, that naturally was the decision of the royal family. Moreover, everyone knew it must be related to Lin Fei, the saber saint who was now popular.
After all, there were rumors the saber saint Lin Fei had a deep relationship with the crown princess Ling Yao. However, this could only be thought of privately. No one dared to discuss it rashly.
Ling Yao was now wearing a dragon robe. Because it's abdication. Therefore, there's plenty of time to tailor a suitable dragon robe for Ling Yao.
"You all go down."
Ling Yao waved her hand.
"Yes, your highness!"
So, many palace women left. The whole room was left with only Ling Yao. She was wearing a dragon robe, standing in front of a huge mirror, looking at herself in the mirror.
At this moment, Ling Yao didn't feel very happy. Instead, she felt very complicated.
"Senior Sister Ling, you finally got what you wanted. You have control of the world's power and control of your own destiny!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Ling Yao. Ling Yao's body trembled. She saw that familiar figure in the mirror.
"Whoosh".
Ling Yao turned around abruptly.
"Lin Fei, you...you finally came!"
Ling Yao was very excited. But, she didn't know what to say. Now, the two of them had different identities.
Ling Yao, who would ascend the throne tomorrow and become the Empress of Great Chang, ruling the world!
Lin Fei, the saber saint of Great Chang, single-handedly destroyed the ten major immortal sects and the strongest person in the world!
One wanted power.
One wanted martial arts.
Now, both of them had reached the peak of their original dreams.
"Senior Sister Ling, I'm leaving."
"Leaving?"
"Yes, leave Great Chang. In Great Chang, Martial Saint is the limit, and there is no further progress. My goal is the pinnacle of martial arts, longevity. So, I have to leave."
Ling Yao's body trembled. Leave Great Chang! Lin Fei was leaving Great Chang! She knew very clearly. Perhaps Lin Fei would never come back once he left.
Lin Fei just came to Chang City to take a final look at Ling Yao. As for Ling Yao's initial choice, it didn't matter anymore.
Ling Yao had obtained what she wanted. And Lin Fei had to continue his pursuit of martial arts.
"Whoosh".
Lin Fei left. He didn't say another word nor did he stay for a long time. Just like that, he resolutely turned around and left.
Ling Yao watched Lin Fei's disappearing figure. She murmured, "Should...should I regret it?"
Ling Yao didn't know whether she should regret it or not. But, no matter how much she said, it was of no use. Lin Fei had left after all.
......
Great Chang, the thirteenth year of Yongqing, May 15th.
Crown Princess Ling Yao ascended the throne and became the empress, establishing the era of Changping.
The first edict of the empress' ascension was awarded the Martial Saint Lin Fei as the Martial Saint of Great Chang who guards the nation.
The Lin family for generations, prosperity and decline with the nation.
From now on, declare it to the world!
"Roar..."
The exotic beast roared furiously at Lin Fei. Incredibly, its massive body even leaped into the sky. Opening its huge maw, it wanted to swallow Lin Fei in one gulp.
Lin Fei's expression remained indifferent. He didn't even show any intention of using martial arts.
