In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
Inside Lin Fei's cave dwelling, the entire floor was covered with a pool of blood-like mud, with no trace of Lin Fei to be seen.
Suddenly, the pool of blood began to rapidly coalesce into a figure, revealing itself to be Lin Fei.
"It's done. Every single particle within me now bears the Undying Seal! The Undying Seal has finally reached perfection!"
Lin Fei murmured, immense joy filling his heart. At the same time, the familiar system notification echoed once again in his mind.
"Your Divine Ability Undying Seal has fully integrated into your body's particles, grasping the true essence of immortality."
"Your Divine Ability Undying Seal has reached perfection."
"System."
Without hesitation, Lin Fei accessed the system panel.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Realm: Mid-stage Martial Sovereign
Great Divine Ability: Black Wind Prison: Perfection
Great Divine Ability: Gravity Domain: Perfection
Great Divine Ability: Dual-World Saber: Perfection
Great Divine Ability: Annihilation: Perfection
Great Divine Ability: Undying Seal: Perfection
Saber Domain: Transcendence (Progress: 5%)
To his surprise, the progress of his Saber Domain was now at 5%, having previously been at just 1%. The Saber Domain was supposed to gradually reach perfection after obtaining the guidance of the perfect Saber Domain. However, the rate of improvement was erratic and unpredictable. Lin Fei wasn't too concerned, though. Knowing the direction, he believed that the Saber Domain would eventually reach perfection on its own.
His eyes then shifted to the Great Divine Ability Undying Seal. As expected, it had indeed reached perfection. Now, with five Great Divine Abilities perfected, especially the Undying Seal, Lin Fei's long-standing vulnerability — defense or survival means — had been addressed.
For a long time, Lin Fei had no significant defensive abilities and had mostly relied on his overwhelming Saber Domain and Divine Abilities. But now, with the Undying Seal etched into every particle of his body, as long as those particles weren't obliterated, Lin Fei would be genuinely immortal. On the Martial Sovereign level, he had achieved the true Undying Body.
Furthermore, Lin Fei had tested himself against even the mightiest Divine Abilities like Annihilation and Dual-World Saber. Their powers were unimaginable, but they couldn't obliterate him. Against opponents of the Martial Sovereign tier, Lin Fei was inherently invincible. Moreover, he had his Saber Domain and four other top-tier Great Divine Abilities.
As Lin Fei was about to rise, he noticed Shen Lianxin hastily approaching from outside the cave dwelling, inquiring from the maidservants about whether Lin Fei had come out of his seclusion.
"Brother Shen, come in."
Lin Fei's voice echoed from inside the chamber. Shen Lianxin quickly entered.
"Brother Lin, something has happened. Great Chang might be in trouble," Shen Lianxin said gravely.
"What kind of trouble?"
Shen Lianxin then explained everything.
Recently, throughout the entire vast Ancient Continent, tales of the "Treasure Land" have been spreading. Moreover, maps leading to it are being discovered continuously. Coupled with the legends, many Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core True Persons are tempted to seek out the Treasure Land, for the treasures there can potentially transform a Golden Core True Person to a higher state and grant a Martial Sovereign the bloodline of a Martial King. Not only the Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core True Persons but even some Nascent Soul Great Beings might be tempted.
Hearing this, Lin Fei frowned. "So, there's more than one map? And this, it seems someone is intentionally spreading these tales and maps?"
Lin Fei had a hunch that there was more to the situation in Great Chang.
"Can we find out who's behind all this?" Lin Fei asked.
"It's hard to tell. The news spread too quickly. The Ancient Continent is vast; it's impossible to trace the source. Maybe someone has already left the Ancient Continent and headed to Great Chang."
Shen Lianxin's implication was clear. Great Chang was their homeland, and now, with so many ambitious figures from the Ancient Continent possibly setting foot in Great Chang, would Great Chang be able to resist?
Currently, in Great Chang, there was only one martial saint, Liu Yibai from the Hiden Sword Sect. How could he fend off these Martial Saints and Golden Core True Persons? If that happens, Great Chang would inevitably experience a great catastrophe! Neither Shen Lianxin nor Lin Fei wanted to see such an outcome.
"Brother Shen, I can't leave right now. With the threat of the Taiyi Dao Palace, I can't move. If I leave, the Taiyi Dao Palace might take action against the Ancient Origin Sect," Lin Fei said.
"What should we do then?" Shen Lianxin asked.
Lin Fei closed his eyes, contemplating their options. After a while, he reached a decision.
"I'll pay a visit to the Taiyi Dao Palace!"
That was the only solution Lin Fei could think of. Even if he couldn't destroy the Taiyi Dao Palace, he had to intimidate them enough to ensure they wouldn't, or couldn't, target the Ancient Origin Sect.
Shen Lianxin didn't object. He knew that once Lin Fei made up his mind, it would be after thorough consideration.
"Brother Lin, I'll wait for you at Ancient Origin Sect."
After saying this, Shen Lianxin left. He knew his limits. He, as a martial saint, wouldn't be of much help to Lin Fei. Staying in the Ancient Origin Sect, ensuring Lin Fei doesn't have any worries behind him, would be the best way to assist Lin Fei.
Subsequently, Lin Fei exited his cave dwelling and went on to meet the Ancient Origin Sect Master and Wind Sovereign. For such a significant matter, he had to notify them.
"What? Sovereign Lin, you plan to approach Taiyi Dao Palace?"
Upon hearing Lin Fei's words, the faces of the Ancient Origin Sect Master and Wind Sovereign changed dramatically. Utter astonishment took over them.
The Taiyi Dao Palace had shown no signs of movement, Yet, Lin Fei intended to strike them first. Even the pinnacle Martial Sovereigns, those who had mastered eight Great Divine Abilities, would never dare to claim they'd challenge Taiyi Dao Palace.
"Sovereign Lin, it's too dangerous. Taiyi Dao Palace has profound strength, and they might have awakened the Golden Core True Persons from past generations. Once you enter Taiyi Dao Palace, they might even employ the Great Mountain Divine Seal. Taiyi Dao Palace will use every means at its disposal. Your situation will be perilous!"
Both the Ancient Origin Sect Master and Wind Sovereign strongly advised Lin Fei against venturing to the Taiyi Dao Palace. It was far too hazardous!
Should the confrontation occur within the Ancient Origin Sect, maybe the Taiyi Dao Palace wouldn't resort to using the Great Mountain Divine Seal. However, if Lin Fei were to attack the Taiyi Dao Palace, what would the palace possibly hesitate for?
"I want to force the Taiyi Dao Palace to use all their methods. If they exhaust all their tactics and still can't handle me, then the Taiyi Dao Palace won't target the Ancient Origin Sect anymore. At least, until they're confident enough to deal with me, they won't make a move against the Ancient Origin Sect." Lin Fei stated calmly. His decision was made after careful consideration.
Wind Sovereign and the Ancient Origin Sect leader exchanged a glance.
"If we're going, we need to go all out! If anything happens to Sovereign Lin, staying in the Ancient Origin Sect would mean facing certain death! Wait a moment, Sovereign Lin. Besides us, the Ancient Origin Sect has other Martial Sovereigns. It's time for them to make a move!"
The sect master appeared resolute. He had made up his mind.
