He's dead! Xiao Tianling is dead! A mighty Martial King has fallen just like that. After practicing outside for hundreds of years and harboring deep resentment, Xiao Tianling finally achieved the status of Martial King. He finally had a chance to return to the Xiao family for revenge.
As Xiao Tianling expected, the Xiao family quickly crumbled. No one could stand against him. The life and death of the entire Xiao family rested in his thoughts.
However, before he could savor his victory, an Ancient Origin Saber King appeared - another Martial King! A fierce battle ensued, resulting in Xiao Tianling's demise. This was the first mighty existence Lin Fei had slain. After all, a Martial King is a significant power!
With Lin Fei's two bloodlines combined with the Saber World, he truly possessed the strength to slay such mighty beings.
Lin Fei then approached Xiao Yuchen. Xiao Yuchen took a deep breath, still unable to hide the shock in his eyes. "Thank you, Saber King."
"Allowing me into the Divine Ability Tower has repaid your debt to me," Lin Fei replied, seeing that Xiao Yuchen was unharmed. He then left, knowing the Xiao family would handle the rest.
Back in his room, Lin Fei entered the Dubhe Dao Artifact. His Taiyin Wind Dao Divine Ability was close to perfection. He initially thought he would need to visit other Martial King families to "borrow" some Divine Abilities. But now, it seemed unnecessary. The Divine Abilities within the Dubhe Dao Artifact should be enough to perfect his Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline.
However, Lin Fei still had to cultivate the third, fourth, fifth, and even more bloodlines in the future. The Dubhe Dao Artifact and the Xiao family's Divine Abilities alone wouldn't suffice. He would still need the Divine Abilities collected by other Martial King families.
While Lin Fei cultivated his bloodlines inside the Dubhe Dao Artifact, the outside world became abuzz with excitement and astonishment. The Xiao family didn't conceal the news of Lin Fei killing Xiao Tianling. Instead, they spread it widely.
The news reached the Ancient Origin Sect, which naturally promoted it too. The stronger Lin Fei became, the more glorious and prosperous the Ancient Origin Sect would be.
Lin Fei's relationship with the Xiao family was also evident. This connection alone would elevate the status and position of the Xiao family. Anyone wanting to challenge the Xiao family would now have to consider Lin Fei, the Ancient Origin Saber King.
Thus, both great forces went to great lengths to propagate the news of Lin Fei's victory. The news indeed spread quickly throughout the regions surrounding the two major powers.
However, it didn't spread across the entire Ancient Continent. The continent was vast, so vast that even a Martial King wouldn't dare claim to have traveled every part of it.
...
Daoist Lord Qianhe's Residence.
Daoist Lord Qianhe had founded a sect, named Thousand Cranes Dao Sect. With the presence of the Daoist Lord Qianhe, the sect prospered, and even though its foundational strength was a bit weak, it was still a lineage of the Nascent Soul level.
Qianhe himself was quite an extraordinary figure. Despite originating from a major sect, he was expelled. Yet, he later achieved Nascent Soul status. But having founded the Thousand Cranes Dao Sect, his foundational strength became slightly inferior. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been persuaded by the Taiyi Dao Palace's Grand Yin Moonlight Divine Water.
A messenger arrived. "Honored Ancestor," the messenger began, "Ancient Origin Saber King Lin Fei has slain the Martial King Xiao Tianling of the Xiao family at their residence!"
Daoist Lord Qianhe's gaze fixed intently on the messenger.
"What did you say? Lin Fei killed a Martial King?"
The shock was palpable in his heart. A Martial King, just like a Nascent Soul, was a mighty existence. Once, he had barely escaped from Lin Fei. There was no resentment afterward, only lingering fear. He realized his escape had been merely a stroke of luck. Now it seemed truer than ever. If Lin Fei could kill Martial King Xiao Tianling, he could kill the Qianhe too.
"This won't do. I need to find a way to resolve this grievance. What if Lin Fei comes to the Thousand Cranes Dao Sect? How would I handle it?" The position Qianhe had achieved came from years of hard work and struggles, different from other major sect disciples. He wasn't too proud to humble himself! Thus, he quickly thought of a solution: Apologize!
Yes, to apologize to Lin Fei! The dignified Nascent Soul Great Being personally apologizes to Lin Fei and presents him with generous gifts. He believed that Lin Fei wouldn't pursue matters further.
After all, there wasn't any deep-seated hatred between them. It was merely due to the involvement of the Taiyi Dao Palace, which now was no more. As for any potential damage to his reputation, what did that matter in comparison to resolving grievances? Would anyone dare to belittle him after he apologizes to Lin Fei?
However, upon deeper reflection, just him going alone to apologize seemed too abrupt. It would be better if other mighty beings mediated. Ideally, another Martial King should mediate, as Lin Fei was also a Martial King.
An idea dawned upon him. An image of a suitable person flashed in his mind. He sighed, "This is going to cost me heavily. But who else can I blame for provoking the Ancient Origin Saber King? It's all Taiyi Dao Palace's fault..."
Daoist Lord Qianhe's resentment was now directed towards the Taiyi Dao Palace. Had the Taiyi Dao Palace not been destroyed, he would have wished to seek them out and obliterate them personally.
...
Within the Dubhe Dao Artifact, Lin Fei's brow was furrowed. During this period, not only had he successfully cultivated the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline to perfection, but he had also started cultivating a third bloodline.
For this third bloodline, Lin Fei chose the Fire Dao bloodline. Mainly because he already possessed a Wind Dao bloodline. Wind fuels the flames, so practicing a Fire Dao bloodline should be a fitting choice.
Among the bloodlines of Martial Kings, the Fire Dao bloodline is a very common one. However, precisely because it's so common, the Fire Dao bloodline has many variations. Within the Dubhe Dao Artifact, Lin Fei felt overwhelmed by the choices and hadn't made a decision yet.
"My Wind Dao bloodline is the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline. Therefore, my Fire Dao bloodline shouldn't be too Yang-centric. Otherwise, when using both bloodlines simultaneously, even if there's no conflict, the effect might not be optimal. Hence, the Fire Dao bloodline I should cultivate must also be of a Yin nature."
Lin Fei gradually narrowed down his focus to a Yin-attribute Fire Dao bloodline. This would indeed be a rarer choice. Perhaps it might be hard to find elsewhere, but within the Dubhe Dao Artifact, the true immortal Dubhe had collected various techniques. Even the Yin-attribute Fire Dao bloodline technique could be found there.
"Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline! The Triple Yin True Fire is silent and once ignited, it's challenging to extinguish. It can even burn Spiritual Qi, and even one's spirit can be consumed by its flames. It's the world's top Yin-attribute fire! Only with the Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline can one harness the Triple Yin True Fire."
Lin Fei's eyes lit up. This "Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline" seemed to be the Fire Dao bloodline he was looking for!
"Good, it's this bloodline technique. Let's begin..." Without any hesitation, Lin Fei was now certain about his third bloodline.
He's dead! Xiao Tianling is dead! A mighty Martial King has fallen just like that. After practicing outside for hundreds of years and harboring deep resentment, Xiao Tianling finally achieved the status of Martial King. He finally had a chance to return to the Xiao family for revenge.
