Ancient Origin Sect's Martial Tower.
Lin Fei headed straight to the fourth floor. The entire floor was dedicated to Divine Abilities. While the Ancient Origin Sect might not be on par with the Martial King lineage, they were, after all, a martial arts sect with a heritage spanning tens of thousands of years. Over the years, they had accumulated a significant collection of Divine Abilities. However, among these Divine Abilities, there were hardly any top-tier Great Divine Abilities.
If Lin Fei's goal was merely to attain the status of Martial King, then ordinary Great Divine Abilities would suffice. But he had come to realize that the stronger the Divine Ability, the more potent the Martial King bloodline that would be birthed from it.
While the Martial King status wasn't the pinnacle of martial arts nor Lin Fei's ultimate goal in his martial journey, a stronger Martial King bloodline might be beneficial for his future cultivation.
Hence, Lin Fei's current focus was not merely on becoming a Martial King but on cultivating the Martial King bloodline. For each Divine Ability, he would have to select the top-tier Great Divine Abilities.
The only top-tier Great Divine Ability in the Ancient Origin Sect was the Black Wind Prison. That wasn't an issue, as Lin Fei could create his own Divine Abilities. However, before doing so, he had to decide on the nature of his fifth Divine Ability.
Initially, Lin Fei was unsure about the direction to take. But the reminder from the Ancient Origin Sect Master about Taiyi Dao Palace's possession of the Great Mountain Divine Seal gave him some clarity. The Great Mountain Divine Seal, being a Nascent Soul magic treasure, was of such significance that all other Great Mountain Seals were mere replicas of it.
Taiyi Dao Palace's unyielding stature and its reputation as one of the top Nascent Soul traditions stemmed from its possession of the Great Mountain Divine Seal. This highlighted the seal's importance to the palace. So, devising a counter to the Great Mountain Divine Seal became a pressing concern for Lin Fei.
Having encountered the Great Mountain Seal before, Lin Fei could make some educated assumptions about the characteristics of the superior Great Mountain Divine Seal. The Great Mountain Seal, renowned for its immense power and unparalleled dominance, once invoked, would manifest as a gigantic mountain, crushing everything in its path. The Great Mountain Divine Seal likely worked similarly.
Moreover, it was rumored that the Great Mountain Divine Seal was crafted from a unique ancient divine mountain. The specifics of this "uniqueness" remained a mystery, as it was a closely guarded secret of the Taiyi Dao Palace, not something they would easily disclose.
Lin Fei closed his eyes, organizing his thoughts. The Great Mountain Divine Seal was overwhelmingly dominant and infinitely powerful. To confront it head-on using Divine Abilities would likely be a daunting task.
Even if Lin Fei had four Great Divine Abilities, and even if he were to add a fifth Divine Ability and the Transcendence Saber Domain, it would still be challenging to counteract a Nascent Soul magic treasure. If it were easy to fend off, it wouldn't be worthy of being termed a Nascent Soul magic treasure or be deserving of the title "great-power" magic treasure.
What if he relied on speed to evade the Great Mountain Divine Seal? Lin Fei was aware that certain Divine Abilities offered unparalleled speed. Upon mastering these skills, one's speed could become almost inconceivably swift.
However, the Great Mountain Divine Seal represented an ancient divine mountain, vast beyond measure. When invoked, it blanketed the skies, making it nearly impossible to evade based purely on speed. Besides, Lin Fei's Saber Domain allowed him to "teleport", rendering speed almost redundant.
Direct confrontation wasn't the solution, neither was evasion. There remained one last option: to become undying. Self-preservation was paramount. As long as Lin Fei remained alive, with his current four Great Divine Abilities' offensive capabilities, he was more than equipped to handle foes of the Golden Core and Martial Sovereign levels.
For instance, the previously encountered Sovereign Yuan possessed a powerful sword domain and impressive attack strength, but he too chose a life-preserving Divine Ability. Even though Lin Fei hadn't witnessed Sovereign Yuan deploy it, it surely was formidable. For Martial Sovereigns, a life-preserving Divine Ability was essential. The most potent among these was undoubtedly the undying body.
"If I could possess a Divine Ability that grants me an undying body," Lin Fei pondered, "even the Great Mountain Divine Seal wouldn't be able to kill me. With my Saber Domain and the other four top-tier Divine Abilities, I'd be prepared for any adversary."
A glint sparkled in Lin Fei's eyes. An undying body! A life-preserving Divine Ability!
However, while it sounded straightforward, the execution was far from it. To remain undying even under the weight of the Great Mountain Divine Seal, what kind of undying body would one need? Many undying bodies could easily be killed by Lin Fei's Divine Abilities, hardly qualifying them as genuinely undying.
"Only by elevating the characteristic of 'undying' to its zenith might one achieve the strongest undying body Divine Ability," Lin Fei mused. "Perhaps, I can create an undying body Divine Ability of my own."
Lin Fei recognized his unique talent in creating Divine Abilities, particularly top-tier Great Divine Abilities. By continuously integrating the characteristic of "undying" into the Divine Abilities, the newly forged ability would undoubtedly be powerful, perhaps even perfected to its utmost limits.
Lin Fei made up his mind. He began selecting Divine Abilities, be they Great Divine Abilities or Lesser Divine Abilities, as long as they had the "undying" characteristic.
This time, Lin Fei didn't let the Divine Abilities blend freely or spontaneously. He poured more attention and heart into it. He couldn't let the Divine Abilities craft themselves anymore. In this endeavor, Lin Fei was genuinely pioneering his own Divine Abilities, selecting every single one that needed integration himself.
The Ancient Origin Sect had both Great Divine Abilities and Lesser Divine Abilities. Among the Great Divine Abilities, there was one named "Flying Sand," which served as a life-preserving ability. However, it wasn't synonymous with an undying body. The practitioner could transform into flying sand, dispersing and gathering at will, making them difficult to kill.
Still, this skill's primary function was to dissipate force, meaning that upon receiving an attack, using the Flying Sand Divine Ability would dissipate much of the force, protecting the practitioner. It wasn't a genuine undying ability.
Lin Fei was searching for a true undying Divine Ability. He wanted to use it as a foundation and continuously merge other Divine Abilities to genuinely create an undying body Divine Ability.
The Ancient Origin Sect had many Divine Abilities, Lin Fei eventually discovered a Lesser Divine Ability that epitomized the "undying body" concept: the "Blood Seal Divine Ability."
Once the Blood Seal Divine Ability was mastered, practitioners would cultivate a blood seal from their flesh. The energy from numerous cells would be stored within this seal. If the physical body was harmed, like losing a limb, the seal would continually release vast amounts of energy, enabling the regrowth of lost limbs.
While Martial Sovereigns could typically regenerate limbs even without this ability, the main feature of the Blood Seal Divine Ability was its restorative power. As long as the body wasn't instantly turned to ash, the practitioner could recover entirely using the blood seal.
Such regenerative prowess could resist many Divine Abilities, like Lin Fei's Black Wind Prison. Although the bone-eroding wind of Black Wind Prison was formidable, a practitioner with the Blood Seal Divine Ability could counteract its effects.
Many Martial Sovereigns couldn't withstand the Black Wind Prison. Yet, the Blood Seal Divine Ability was only classified as a Lesser Divine Ability. It could still be combined with other Divine Abilities, transforming into a top-tier Great Divine Ability.
"It's you, Blood Seal!" Lin Fei decided. He planned to use this ability as the foundation, integrating other undying body Divine Abilities, genuinely creating the most top-tier undying body Divine Ability.
