Lin Fei departed, leaving the grand hall filled with Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core True Persons exchanging glances.
"Did Sovereign Lin really head to Profound Light Cave Heaven?" The Golden Core True Person from Red Hades Mansion seemed incredulous. They weren't familiar with Lin Fei's "style," and this seemed rather "rash" to them. Shouldn't such a monumental decision, like laying siege to Profound Light Cave Heaven, be discussed thoroughly? At the very least, they should gather numerous Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core True Persons and go together.
However, Wind Sovereign and the Sect Master exchanged knowing glances. A hint of pleasure flashed in their eyes. They knew Lin Fei well; he never acted without certainty. Some of his decisions might appear unfathomable and incredible to others, but if Lin Fei chose to act, he was confident in his success. His current decisive action towards Profound Light Cave Heaven indicated one thing: he was certain he could level it.
"Esteemed members of Red Hades Mansion," the Sect Master of Ancient Origin Sect began, "Our Sovereign Lin always acts swiftly and decisively. When he decides on something, he's almost always successful. So, we should follow Sovereign Lin's instructions and promptly decide on who will oversee Profound Light Cave Heaven. We wouldn't want to find ourselves unprepared after Sovereign Lin achieves his goal."
At this statement, the Golden Core True Persons of Red Hades Mansion were left astounded, looking at each other in disbelief. They started thinking that perhaps the members of the Ancient Origin Sect had lost their minds. Was the task of toppling Profound Light Cave Heaven really that simple? Regardless of their reservations, they saw the Ancient Origin Sect making preparations. They reluctantly joined the Ancient Origin Sect Sovereign and flew towards Profound Light Cave Heaven, eager to witness how the top Sovereign of Ancient Origin Sect, Lin Fei, would accomplish this feat.
...
Inside a dwelling in Profound Light Cave Heaven, with a loud "boom," the entrance opened, and True Person Xuanwu flew out. His aura seemed peculiar. There was an evident presence of a Nascent Soul, but it wasn't the pure aura of one. Outside the dwelling, several Golden Core True Persons from Taiyi Dao Palace stood waiting. Seeing True Person Xuanwu emerge, a smile crept onto their faces.
"True Person Xuanwu," one of them remarked, "it seems that your Golden Core has dissolved, replaced by a hint of Nascent Soul's aura."
"It's a pity that it's merely a False Nascent Soul."
A sharp glint flashed in True Person Xuanwu's eyes. Nascent Soul! His Golden Core had shattered, and he had successfully cultivated a Nascent Soul, albeit a False Nascent Soul, not a genuine one.
One of the Golden Core True Persons from Taiyi Dao Palace chuckled, "True Person Xuanwu if the Nascent Soul Transformation Pill could really create a genuine Nascent Soul, wouldn't our Taiyi Dao Palace be filled with powerful Nascent Soul cultivators by now? Though this pill can only produce a False Nascent Soul, it can extend one's life by a millennium. Isn't the pursuit of longevity the reason we step onto the path of cultivation? Adding a thousand years to one's lifespan already surpasses other Golden Core True Persons."
True Person Xuanwu nodded in agreement. The primary benefit of the Nascent Soul Transformation Pill was to add a thousand years to one's lifespan. Other aspects, including the level of their cultivation power, remained unchanged at the Golden Core stage. Furthermore, once one consumed the Nascent Soul Transformation Pill, their cultivation level could no longer advance in their lifetime.
However, True Person Xuanwu had thought this through. Without the pill, he would soon face his life's end. How could he live for another millennium otherwise? For this reason, he even merged Profound Light Cave Heaven with Taiyi Dao Palace.
"By the way, when are we taking action against Ancient Origin Sect and Red Hades Mansion?" Xuanwu asked.
Having betrayed Profound Light Cave Heaven and the three major powers, Xuanwu now harbored a stronger desire than anyone else to annihilate the Ancient Origin Sect and Red Hades Mansion. As long as they existed, he wouldn't feel at ease.
A Golden Core True Person from Taiyi Dao Palace responded with a slight smile, "There's no rush. We at Taiyi Dao Palace are making preparations. Once everything is set, we'll destroy both Ancient Origin Sect and Red Hades Mansion in one fell swoop."
"Preparations?" Xuanwu frowned, "What else do we need to prepare? The Profound Light Cave Heaven has already merged with Taiyi Dao Palace. Of the three major powers, only Red Hades Mansion and Ancient Origin Sect remain. Profound Light Dao can handle one of them, and with Taiyi Dao Palace's strength, can't we easily destroy the other? Why then, do we still need to make preparations?"
Xuanwu was a bit perplexed. Would it really be that difficult to annihilate the Ancient Origin Sect and Red Hades Mansion? It was evident that Taiyi Dao Palace had the upper hand. What more did they need to prepare?
The expression of Taiyi Dao Palace's Golden Core True Person became grave. He spoke in a deep tone, "True Person Xuanwu, the preparations the palace master is making are not aimed at the Ancient Origin Sect or the Red Hades Mansion. Given the current circumstances, both of these sects could be easily wiped out by Taiyi Dao Palace. The preparations are solely to deal with a single individual."
"Deal with a single person?" True Person Xuanwu was taken aback. Who could possibly warrant such a cautious approach from Taiyi Dao Palace?
"You might have heard of him," the Golden Core True Person hinted, "He's the Martial Sovereign of Ancient Origin Sect, Lin Fei."
"What? Lin Fei? Taiyi Dao Palace has been preparing for so long just to deal with a single man named Lin Fei? And he's just a Martial Sovereign?" Xuanwu's eyes widened in disbelief. He found it hard to accept that Taiyi Dao Palace would be so wary of Lin Fei from the Ancient Origin Sect. Of course, he had heard of Lin Fei's disputes with Taiyi Dao Palace and how he was subtly considered the top Martial Sovereign of the Ancient Origin Sect. But even so, why would they be so overly cautious about Lin Fei?
"Lin Fei is no ordinary man," the Golden Core True Person explained. "He single-handedly killed our five elders outside Cangli Ancient City. Moreover, he visited the Xiao family in the Martial King lineage and made quite an impression there. The palace master is treating Lin Fei with the utmost caution, viewing him as a top-tier Martial Sovereign. Once Lin Fei shows up, he must be decisively killed without leaving any future threats."
Xuanwu was truly shocked. He was well aware of the five elders. Each of them was formidable, on par with him, let alone all five of them together. Yet, Lin Fei had single-handedly slain them. It was hard to imagine such prowess. No wonder Taiyi Dao Palace gave Lin Fei such "special attention".
"I see. Lin Fei indeed seems extraordinary," Xuanwu said. "But where is he currently?"
"We're not certain, but Taiyi Dao Palace is closely monitoring him," the Golden Core True Person replied.
Xuanwu nodded in understanding when suddenly a disciple from outside hurriedly reported, "Red Hades Mansion and Ancient Origin Sect have mobilized a large number of Golden Core True Persons and Martial Sovereigns. They are now outside the gates of the Profound Light Dao. Please provide guidance, True Persons!"
"Hmm? Red Hades Mansion and Ancient Origin Sect are outside the gates?" Xuanwu mused. "It seems they intend to wipe out us. But do they really think they can eradicate my Profound Light Dao with just their strength? They're seriously underestimating our mountain's protective formation! Who's leading them?"
The disciple replied with a hint of trepidation, "It appears to be the Martial Sovereign of Ancient Origin Sect, Lin Fei."
At this revelation, the expressions of both Xuanwu and the Taiyi Dao Palace members instantly changed.
Lin Fei departed, leaving the grand hall filled with Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core True Persons exchanging glances.
