Chapter 196-200 (Patreon)

196. Unrivaled in the world

Chang City, the palace.

Ever since Ling Yao became the Crown Princess, the emperor even actively delegated some powers to Ling Yao. Therefore, Ling Yao was busy every day.

"Report! Internal strife has occurred among the rebels in Dong Province. The rebel leader was beheaded, his head sent to the imperial army's camp, and the rebels have surrendered!"

"Report! The rebel leader in Lu Province killed several of his confidants in one day. He led the rebels to surrender to the court, asking the court for judgment!"

"Report! Internal strife erupted among the rebels in Xia Province, several factions of rebels fought each other, the majority of the rebels were wiped out in the internal strife, and the remaining rebels were also defeated by our imperial army!"

With one report after another, Ling Yao felt something was not right. These should all be good news. But why is there a series of such good news?

One must know, Dong Province, Lu Province, and Xia Province were all breeding grounds for rebellion. Previously, they were causing chaos. It's just that they didn't make as much noise as the South. But if the court was not powerful enough to suppress the rebellion, given time, the rebels would definitely grow stronger.

But now, these rebels were either having internal strife or surrendering. It seemed that overnight, the whole Great Chang had become peaceful again.

But is this possible?

Ling Yao knew very well. Behind those rebels represented a number of immortal sects! As long as the immortal sects were not extinguished, the rebels would continue to appear.

"Go, investigate thoroughly what exactly has happened. Focus on the news about those immortal sects," Ling Yao immediately ordered.

About a few hours later, Ling Yao's subordinate hurried over. Even, his face had a hint of joy!

"Report! Crown Princess, the matter has been investigated. Just yesterday, the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons of the immortal sects set up a trap and attacked the Nine Profound Sect. The Saber Saint Lin Fei evolved the saber momentum and killed the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons! Now, led by the Sky Reaching Sect, the ten major immortal sects have announced that they are sealing the mountain!"

"Whoosh".

Ling Yao stood up abruptly. She was greatly shocked!

"As expected, it has to do with Lin Fei. Killing the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons of the immortal sects. All the major immortal sects have announced that they are sealing the mountain. They are scared. Even the founding emperor back then was no more than this..."

Ling Yao understood. She understood everything. In various places in Great Chang, the rebels were having internal strife or surrendering. Actually, it was because the immortal sects behind them had sealed their mountains.

The immortal sects no longer support the rebels. Without the support of the immortal sects, those rebels were just a mob. How could they last long? Therefore, internal strife occurred. And Lin Fei, with his own strength, suppressed the immortal sects!

The founding emperor of Great Chang, with his supreme power, swept across all directions, unstoppable. Finally, he established the Great Chang, forcing the major immortal sects to close their gates. This brought about long-lasting peace in the world.

"Killing the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons, Lin Fei is already invincible....."

Ling Yao murmured in a low voice. In the end, she fell silent. How much time has passed since Lin Fei said that he wanted to reach the peak of the martial dao? Ling Yao was still immersed in mundane matters, but Lin Fei had quietly achieved his initial dream. Unrivaled in the world! For a martial artist, this is the highest achievement!

Now, Lin Fei's words could determine the world. Even the Great Chang royal family had to look at Lin Fei's face. This was what Lin Fei said.

When martial arts is practiced to the extreme, one can control fate! Even, not only can one control their own fate, but also the fate of countless people.

"The path, after all, is chosen by me. Besides, it's already impossible..."

Ling Yao shook her head. She had chosen power. From then on, Lin Fei and she were people on two different paths. There were no more possibilities. It was her own choice!

......

In the main hall of the Sky Reaching Sect, everyone was silent. In the entire Sky Reaching Sect, there was only one Foundation Establishment True Person left. Because the two Foundation Establishment True Persons, True Person Tongxuan and True Person Tongguang, went down the mountain, and both were killed by the Saber Saint Lin Fei at the Nine Profound Sect!

"True Person, it seems that Great Chang can still have a few hundred years of national luck."

"Yes, who would have thought that a Saber Saint Lin Fei would emerge?"

"With his own strength, he killed ten Foundation Establishment True Persons, I'm afraid even the founding emperor of Great Chang was no more than this, right?"

"Lin Fei is truly the Saber Saint, evolving the saber momentum. Under the saber momentum, even Foundation Establishment True Persons have to weaken their strength by several times, even if they have precious treasures, they can only be slaughtered."

"I have to admit, the current Lin Fei is truly unrivaled in the world!"

"Unrivaled, just like the founder of Great Chang, truly unrivaled..."

Many Qi Condensation cultivators began to speak. When they received the news from the Nine Profound Sect, they even thought it was a tall tale.

A total of ten Foundation Establishment True Persons! The ten Foundation Establishment True Persons working together could sweep the entire Great Chang. But they were killed by Lin Fei with his own power. This seemed like a tall tale no matter how they look at it.

However, when they learned from other hidden immortal sects that those Foundation Establishment True Persons did not return and more and more news came in, they finally believed the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons were really killed by Lin Fei!

"Unrivaled..."

True Person Tongyuan, the only Foundation Establishment True Person in the Sky Reaching Sect, also sighed slightly, "Yes, Saber Saint Lin Fei is now unrivaled in the world. Just like the founder of Great Chang. Sweeping all directions, invincible, and dominating! Faced with such an opponent, our Sky Reaching Sect has only one choice, and that is to seal the mountain! As long as Lin Fei is there for a day, our Sky Reaching Sect will never come out! Although it's a bit suffocating, this is the way of survival for our immortal sects.

We have a mountain protection formation, at the Foundation Establishment level, which no one can break. As long as we endure until Lin Fei dies, or disappears like the first emperor of Great Chang. That will be our opportunity for the immortal sects! Didn't our Sky Reaching Sect survive in this way for a thousand years?"

The Qi cultivators of the Sky Reaching Sect also nodded one after another. The so-called immortal sects are like iron, and the dynasties are like flowing water.

The inheritance of the immortal sect lasts for hundreds of years, even for several thousands of years. No matter how many strong people are born in the outside world, as long as the mountain gate is sealed, the immortal sect is then cut off from the world. No one can do anything about it. As for the existence of an invincible power in the world, just let him be invincible. After hundreds of years, the immortal sect is still the immortal sect, but the invincible power in the world will die.

Thus, the Sky Reaching Sect announced the closure of the mountain. Not only the Sky Reaching Sect, but other hidden immortal sects also announced the closure of the mountain. As a result, almost all the immortal sects in the world have closed their mountains.

The entire Great Chang seemed to have fallen into peace. And the name of Saber Saint Lin Fei's invincibility also instantly spread all over the country.

Everyone knew Saber Saint Lin Fei, with his own power, suppressed all the immortal sects in the world. He was already like the founder of Great Chang. Unrivaled in the world!

197. The strongest saber and the strongest sect in the world

"Invincible..."

On the Ancestral Master Peak of the Nine Profound Sect, Lin Fei raised his head, looking at Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin. It was Liu Yibai who just mentioned that the entire Great Chang had been spreading Lin Fei's name of Invincibility recently.

"What kind of invincible am I? I haven't even been able to transcend saber momentum. Maybe I'm invincible in Great Chang, but on the road of martial arts, it is far from being invincible..."

Lin Fei shook his head. Compared to being invincible, he was more eager to continue to enhance his saber momentum. He was even more eager to continue to improve his cultivation.

In recent days, Lin Fei had been exchanging martial arts insights with Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin. Lin Fei was generous with his advice. He shared his understanding of saber momentum with the two of them. After all, the only martial artists in the entire Great Chang who were qualified to exchange ideas with Lin Fei now were Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin.

Moreover, Lin Fei also figured out that, if he wanted to evolve saber momentum, he needed to meet certain conditions. It must be top-tier innate saber techniques that could cultivate saber intent. Otherwise, it would be impossible to evolve saber momentum.

Moreover, these saber techniques must be used to defeat powerful enemies, even kill powerful enemies. For example, a Foundation Establishment True Person!

However, the first condition was actually quite difficult. How rare is it to have a saber technique that can cultivate saber intent?

The Broken Saber Flow and the Mountain Cleaving Slash could actually be considered top-tier innate saber techniques, but they couldn't cultivate saber intent. Naturally, it is impossible to evolve saber momentum.

Lin Fei also exchanged some saber techniques with Shen Lianxin. Shen Lianxin had obtained one saber technique from the ruins of the ancient martial arts sect. The Mountain-River Saber. And after countless years of practicing the saber, Shen Lianxin summarized numerous saber techniques into one saber, the Ultimate Saber Slash.

These two saber techniques had been integrated into Lin Fei's saber momentum. Just waiting to kill the Foundation Establishment True Person, perhaps it could evolve into saber momentum again. At that time, it would be integrated into Lin Fei's Heavenly Saber Momentum. It would continue to enhance Lin Fei's saber momentum, and even give the saber momentum hope to reach transcendence.

However, in the whole world of Great Chang, the saber techniques that can cultivate saber intent are very few. After all, the secret treasures of the Nine Profound Sect and the royal family almost collected all the saber techniques in the world. It's too hard to find pearls in the sea. And, cultivation techniques are also a big problem.

Lin Fei asked Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin. Neither of them had cultivation techniques at the Martial Saint level.

"Brother Liu, have the predecessors of the Martial Saints in the Hidden Sword Sect not recorded anything outside of Great Chang?" Lin Fei suddenly asked.

"Outside of Great Chang?" Liu Yibai looked deeply at Lin Fei. He slowly said, "Of course they have recorded. But, the predecessors also didn't know much. The Martial Saints of my Hidden Sword Sect, just know that if you want to leave Great Chang, you can only go to sea. But, what will happen when you go to sea, no one knows. Those who go to sea, whether they are Foundation Establishment True People or Martial Saints, none of them have ever come back. Maybe, going to sea is a dead end!"

Liu Yibai's words made Lin Fei fall silent. He raised his head, looking intently at Liu Yibai, and said, "Brother Liu, whether going to sea is a dead end, I don't know. But if we can't even find the cultivation techniques of Martial Saints in Great Chang, our martial arts will not make any progress. At most in five hundred years, like the supreme elder of the Great Chang royal family, our life limit will come and we will die. We can all feel it. Martial Saint is not the peak of martial arts! If we want to pursue the peak of martial arts, maybe, we can only leave Great Chang."

In terms of martial arts, Lin Fei was the strongest in the world and number one in the world of Great Chang!

But so what? A Martial Saint only has a lifespan of five hundred years.

Lin Fei had never forgotten what he was pursuing. His goal was longevity! Practicing martial arts can achieve longevity. So, he embarked on the path of martial arts. But, his longevity was not just a mere five hundred years lifespan. He hadn't reached the peak of martial arts yet.

Therefore, Lin Fei would continue to move forward. No matter how difficult it was, he would continue!

"If one day, I want to go to sea to seek the Dao. Brother Liu, Brother Shen, what are your plans?"

Lin Fei's gaze looked at Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin.

Without hesitation, Shen Lianxin immediately said, "I'm all alone in this life, and my dream is to reach the peak of martial arts! In Great Chang, I feel that I can no longer make any progress. Even if I exchange ideas with Brother Lin, it is very difficult for me to evolve saber momentum. But martial arts is not just about saber momentum. I can also practice martial arts techniques. I have other choices, other paths. So, if Brother Lin goes to sea to seek the Dao, please take me with you!"

Liu Yibai, however, was silent. He didn't speak at all.

Lin Fei slightly smiled and said, "It's okay, it's too early to talk about going to sea to seek the Dao. Besides, even if I want to go to sea, I have to take care of some things first. Like, the Immortal Sects!

These Immortal Sects, seal their mountains, living for hundreds of years, and then produce Foundation Establishment True Person. Then they come out of the mountain, causing chaos in the world, and vying for power.

This cycle repeats over and over again. If I leave, the Immortal Sects will reopen their mountains. By then, not only the Nine Profound Sect will be in danger, but even the martial arts of Great Chang will be in danger!

There is only one way to completely solve the Immortal Sects. That is, to destroy the mountains of these Immortal Sects!"

Lin Fei's words were filled with a murderous aura. In fact, how easy is it to destroy the mountains of those Immortal Sects?

Liu Yibai shook his head and said, "About those Immortal Sects' mountains, actually, the predecessors of the Martial Saints in my Hidden Sword Sect also mentioned them. These Immortal Sects, especially the top ten Immortal Sects, all have special magic treasures, connected to the earth's veins.

They connect the protective array of the mountain with the entire earth vein. If you want to destroy the mountains of these Immortal Sects, unless, you have the power to break the treasured objects of the Immortal Sects all at once. Or, destroy the earth veins of those Immortal Sects."

But, both of these methods are not very realistic. The founding emperor of Great Chang, who was also a Martial Saint, and who also understood momentum, couldn't break open the mountains of those Immortal Sects.

As for destroying the earth's veins, that's even harder. The earth veins of the top ten Immortal Sects, connect the entire mountain range, extending for thousands of miles. There's no way to destroy the earth's veins.

So, those Immortal Sects can sleep without any worries. The top ten Immortal Sects have already sealed their mountains early, intending to temporarily avoid your sharp edge, Brother Lin. To destroy the mountains of these Immortal Sects, it's difficult, too difficult!"

Liu Yibai felt that it was almost impossible. Lin Fei was also very clear. If the mountains of the Immortal Sects were so easy to destroy, how could they have been passed down for a thousand years?

The oldest Immortal Sects had a history of thousands of years, or even longer.

"It's okay, why not give it a try? Among the top ten Immortal Sects, which is the most powerful one?" Lin Fei asked.

"Sky Reaching Sect!" Liu Yibai immediately said.

"Sky Reaching Sect? Brother Liu, could you please take me to the mountain gate of the Sky Reaching Sect."

Liu Yibai nodded and said, "What's so difficult about that?"

Shen Lianxin also said, "The strongest saber in the world, and the strongest mountain gate, are rare encounters! I have to see it too."

"Alright, let's go together! Let's see if my saber is sharper, or the mountain gate of the Sky Reaching Sect is harder?"

Lin Fei stood up. With Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai also stepped into the air and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

198. Six Sabers Fusion

The Sky Reaching Sect had already sealed their mountain. Just a while ago, after hiding from the world for hundreds of years, they were ready to come out and make big plans.

However, they were "scared" back by Lin Fei, the Saber Saint. Now, they were once again in a state of sealing their mountain.

The so-called sealing of the mountain is to let the protective array of the mountain run continuously. Moreover, the mountain gate is hidden. Ordinary people can't find it or see it.

If they need to open the mountain gate and enter the world, then the mountain gate will appear. Ordinary people can see and find it. This is what is known as "immortal fate."

Some people here can find the Immortal Sect and even join it. But some people, even if they dig three feet into the ground, can't find the Immortal Sect. It's because the Immortal Sect has sealed the mountain gate.

At this moment, three figures were walking in the air. They came directly to this mountain range.

"Brother Lin, this mountain range is known as the Sky Reaching Mountain Range because of the Sky Reaching Sect. There is a Sky Reaching Peak here that soars into the clouds. Even, the Sky Reaching Sect has an ancient magic treasure, the Sky Reaching Tower.

It's said that the Sky Reaching Tower is very magical, with all kinds of incredible abilities. The protective array of the Sky Reaching Sect is suppressed by the Sky Reaching Tower. For thousands of years, no one has been able to break the gate of the Sky Reaching Sect."

"Sky Reaching Tower..." Lin Fei looked up. He couldn't see the Sky Reaching Tower. In fact, let alone the Sky Reaching Tower, he couldn't even see the mountain gate of the Sky Reaching Sect.

However, all three of them were Martial Saints. They were extremely sensitive to the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. Therefore, they could clearly feel there was a rich Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth here.

The Immortal Sect could indeed hide from the world. It could restrain its aura and make it invisible to people. But it couldn't hide the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

Within the Immortal Sect, a large number of formations gathered together. The Spiritual Qi was like a tide. Even if there were blessed lands, it would be the same. After all, it's impossible for every disciple to practice in the blessed lands. They still had to rely on the Spiritual Qi of the outside world. Where there was an Immortal Sect. the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth would inevitably be rich.

"Brother Lin, for the task of 'greeting', it's better for me to do it."

At this time, Shen Lianxin spoke. His saber was already becoming impatient.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to Brother Shen!"

Shen Lianxin looked at the empty void in front of him with cold eyes. In his eyes, he couldn't see the mountain gate of the Sky Reaching Sect either. But he could see a large amount of Spiritual Qi gathered in this void.

"Clang."

Shen Lianxin drew his saber.

"Ultimate Saber Slash!"

A saber light one thousand meters long tore through the void like a piece of cloth, piercing the heavens and the earth. Overwhelming, it slashed into the void.

However, such a huge saber light should have landed on the ground. Just that, as Shen Lianxin slashed out this saber, it was still in the void. It seemed to be blocked by an invisible force.

"Hum."

In the void, a faint glow emerged. Then, this light continued to tremble. Like ripples in water, spiritual Qi surged continuously. The empty void could no longer hide, it revealed a series of mountain peaks and there was also a black tower, soaring into the clouds.

Sky Reaching Tower!

Seeing that tower, anyone's heart would be shaken! That was really shocking. Soaring into the clouds, one couldn't see the end at first glance. It seemed to emit an endless aura of vastness, antiquity, and mystery. And each mountain peak seemed to have mysterious runes, densely packed. They also looked very ancient and mysterious.

This was the Sky Reaching Sect! The number one Immortal Sect in the world!

"Boom."

However, when Shen Lianxin slashed out the second saber. A huge roar shook the entire Sky Reaching Sect. For a while, many disciples and elders were awakened.

"What's going on? Why is the mountain gate shaking?"

"The protective array is shaking?"

"That's...three Martial Saints?"

"They're traversing the air, walking in the air. And there's no fluctuation of spiritual power on them. No doubt, they are Martial Saints!"

"News has already come from below the mountain. There are now three Martial Saints in Great Chang, the leading one being Saber Saint Lin Fei."

"Lin Fei is here?"

"What does he want to do? Our Sky Reaching Sect has already sealed the mountain, yet he's still not letting go. Could it be that he wants to break the mountain gate?"

"Even the founder of Great Chang in the past couldn't break the mountain gate of our Sky Reaching Sect. Just based on a single Martial Saint Lin Fei?"

"Hmph, let Lin Fei attack. He can't break the mountain gate of our Sky Reaching Sect!"

The many disciples had also guessed it. Saber Saint Lin Fei was not prepared to let the Sky Reaching Sect go. He was trying to break the mountain gate of the Sky Reaching Sect.

The only Foundation Establishment True Person of the Sky Reaching Sect, also arrived in the void at this moment, looking at Lin Fei across the void.

"I am Tongyou. Saber Saint Lin Fei, you have slain ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, we, Sky Reaching Sect, concede! Now, our Sky Reaching Sect has announced the closure of the mountain, withdrew all disciples, and no longer interferes in mundane affairs. Saber Saint, however, has made a big fuss and come to our doorstep, isn't this a bit too much?"

True Person Tongyou looked at Lin Fei with a hint of fierceness in his eyes. The Sky Reaching Tower might have sealed the mountain. But it wasn't to the point where it could be slaughtered at will.

Lin Fei looked at True Person Tongyou, speaking calmly, "Too much? So it's okay for your Sky Reaching Sect's True Persons to attack my Nine Profound Sect, but it's not okay for me to come to your Sky Reaching Sect? True Person Tongyou, since I'm here today, I have to at least give it a try. Let's see what the current number one Immortal Sect has to offer?"

True Person Tongyou also knew that Lin Fei's trip would not be called off just because of his few words. So he sneered, "Good, then I'd like to broaden my horizons. Let's see just how astonishing the saber techniques of the current Saber Saint are, that you could actually slay ten Foundation Establishment True Persons!"

True Person Tongyou had absolute confidence in his own mountain gate. With the Sky Reaching Tower suppressing the mountain gate, whether it's a Martial Saint or a Foundation Establishment level. it's simply impossible to break the mountain gate. Even the founder of Great Chang couldn't do it!

At this time, Shen Lianxin unleashed three "Ultimate Saber Slashes" in succession. The sharp saber light howled down, slashing on the protective array of the Sky Reaching Sect. However, it was just like a clay ox entering the sea. There was no response at all. Shen Lianxin knew that he could not break the mountain gate of the Sky Reaching Sect no matter what.

"Brother Shen, let me give it a try." Lin Fei said lightly.

Shen Lianxin also put away his saber. Lin Fei stood in the void. His gaze calmly looked at True Person Tongyou. There wasn't a hint of murderous intent. But it was this kind of cold, calm gaze that made True Person Tongyou feel a little palpitations.

"Hum."

The next moment, a semi-transparent light swept out from Lin Fei's body.

"Boom."

Saber momentum!

The mastery-level saber momentum was just like an enormous mountain pressed on the entire mountain protection formation of the Sky Reaching Sect.

Suddenly, the fierce saber edge and the light of the mountain protection formation intertwined and clashed. However, the mountain protection formation remained unshaken. Lin Fei's saber momentum, even if it was mastery, it was just slightly interfering with reality.

The existence of saber intent is intended to suppress the spirit and will. Even if it evolves from saber intent to saber momentum, the actual interference and destruction of reality, naturally, is far less than the power of saber essence. If one wants to break the Sky Reaching Sect's mountain gate, relying on saber momentum alone is not enough.

However, Lin Fei seemed not surprised. The next moment, Lin Fei kept condensing his saber momentum. The smaller the range of the saber momentum, the stronger its power will be.

However, Lin Fei didn't need to use saber momentum to suppress the Sky Reaching Sect anymore nor could he suppress it. Now Lin Fei was allowing saber momentum to return to its original "face". In other words, saber momentum was used to enhance the power of saber techniques!

"Boom."

Lin Fei's saber essence exploded instantly. It was as overwhelming as a tidal wave. A large amount of saber essence emerged from Lin Fei's body. In the void, a saber gradually formed.

A heavenly saber!

Under the bolster of saber momentum, the might of the heavenly saber was even more terrifying. However, this was not the end.

"Shoo."

Another strand of saber essence also condensed into a saber.

Three Abyssal Sabers!

Under the evolution of saber momentum, the power of the Three Abyssal Sabers also reached its peak. Moreover, the Three Abyssal Sabers also evolved saber momentum.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

Then, one by one, terrifying sabers condensed in the void.

Twenty-Three Saber, Eternal Night Saber Technique, Samsara Saber Technique, God Slaying Saber Technique. A total of six saber techniques all evolved saber momentum. In the void, six sabers also formed.

"Six Sabers Fusion!"

Lin Fei wasn't in a hurry. He merged the six sabers in the void into one.

"Boom."

Instantly, the saber formed after the fusion of the six sabers, and the saber essence skyrocketed.

Ten meters, fifty meters, a hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters...

In a blink of an eye, the saber in the void exceeded one thousand meters! And this was saber essence! Each strand of saber essence was hundreds of times the saber energy.

If it were really calculated in saber energy, one thousand meters was roughly the equivalent of a Hundred thousand meters of saber energy! And it was only going up, not down!

At this moment, even the people of the Sky Reaching Sect, who were in the mountain protection formation, felt a bit threatened. Some were even restless. Even True Person Tongyou, the expression on his face was extremely serious. He stared hard at the one thousand meters saber in the void.

How could a Martial Saint condense such a terrifying saber?

Lin Fei closed his eyes. This saber not only fused six top-tier saber techniques but also combined all the saber techniques Lin Fei had learned in his life.

Moreover, under the mastery level saber momentum, power could be continuously accumulated. Therefore, how powerful this saber was, Lin Fei didn't know. This was destined to be his pinnacle saber!

"Swoosh."

The next moment, Lin Fei opened his eyes.

"Slash!"

With a low roar from Lin Fei, the saber essence spanned the void, reaching as high as one thousand meters, like a god saber from the heavens, cutting everything and annihilating everything! It heavily landed on the mountain protection formation of the Sky Reaching Sect.

This saber was no longer the strike in the mortal world!

199. Sky Reaching Tower Spirit

"Sky Reaching Tower!"

The next moment, True Person Tongyou's spiritual power surged. As a Foundation Establishment True Person, naturally, he can control the mountain protection formation of the Sky Reaching Sect.

Therefore, facing Lin Fei's indescribable terrifying saber, True Person Tongyou didn't hesitate. He immediately activated the Sky Reaching Tower, maximizing the power of the mountain protection formation! He had to block this saber!

Moreover, he was confident in blocking this saber. After all, the confidence passed down for thousands of years. Generations of Foundation Establishment seniors told him the mountain protection formation is absolutely unbreakable at the Foundation Establishment level. No matter how strong Lin Fei was, he was still a Martial Saint, still at the Foundation Establishment level.

The Sky Reaching Tower shone brightly. Surged Spiritual Qi poured into the mountain protection formation. The phantom of the Sky Reaching Tower expanded continually as if it had appeared in the void in a flash.

At this moment, there were no other thoughts in Lin Fei's heart. In his eyes, there was only this saber!

"Boom."

Finally, this saber fell! It struck the mountain protection formation. Instantly, ripples on the mountain protection formation spread out continuously. Ring after ring. Even the Sky Reaching Tower began to shake violently. The phantom of the Sky Reaching Tower flickered on and off as if it was about to disperse.

All disciples of the Sky Reaching Sect were looking up at the sky. There, one thousand meters tall sabers, like an enormous mountain, gave people a strong sense of oppression. It was as if the next moment, the entire Sky Reaching Sect would be split in half!

"No, impossible! Our Sky Reaching Sect's mountain protection formation, for thousands of years, no one has been able to break it. Not even the founder of Great Chang of the past, and not even the saber saint Lin Fei now!"

True Person Tongyou let out a loud roar. He felt the danger! The mountain protection formation was shaking violently at this moment. Together with the entire Sky Reaching Sect also shaking violently.

Many people looked at the saber in the void with fear. This was the first time the Sky Reaching Sect faced such a big crisis. However, was the mountain protection formation really unbreakable?

"Bang."

The next moment, the phantom of the Sky Reaching Tower suddenly shattered. With the shattering of the phantom of the Sky Reaching Tower. Next, the mountain protection formation also started to totter.

"Rumble."

Finally, the Sky Reaching Sect shook violently. The mountain protection formation hadn't been broken for thousands of years. At this moment, it finally collapsed! Instantly, the sky was filled with that boundless, terrifying to the extreme saber!

"It's broken, how could the mountain protection formation be broken? Impossible, this is impossible! Our Ten Immortal Sects inherited for thousands of years. Even the founder of Great Chang couldn't break the mountain protection formation. Could it be that Saber Saint Lin Fei is stronger than the founder of Great Chang? Today, is it the great catastrophe of our Sky Reaching Sect that hasn't happened for six thousand years?"

True Person Tongyou's soul was trembling.

A great calamity! A real life-and-death calamity! Every Immortal Sect, every Dao lineage, will face a great calamity.

Perhaps, many people didn't know how ancient the Sky Reaching Sect was. It had been passed down for six thousand years! It was arguably the oldest Immortal Sect in all of Great Chang. Without a doubt!

After six thousand years of ups and downs, the Sky Reaching Sect had weathered them all and maintained its lineage intact. Now, however, it is facing such a calamity of extermination. Once the saber in the void fell, the entire Sky Reaching Sect, they were afraid they would turn into ruins.

"No, the Sky Reaching Sect will not perish! With my spirit, awaken the spirit of the tower! Tower Spirit, please awake and save our Sky Reaching Sect!"

True Person Tongyou seemed to have performed a secret method. Suddenly, his whole body surged with spiritual power. Countless Dao marks struck the Sky Reaching Tower.

"Hum."

Suddenly, the towering Sky Reaching Tower actually began to shake violently. At the same time, it was as if a beast's roar, emanated from the void.

"Roar......"

A strange ancient being's phantom emerged from the Sky Reaching Tower.

"Who has awakened me?"

This huge phantom shook its head, seeming somewhat dazed.

"Tower Spirit, our Sky Reaching Sect is facing a crisis of extermination, someone has broken the mountain protection formation, please, tower spirit, make a move and kill the invading enemy!"

True Person Tongyou was overjoyed when he saw the tower spirit appear. He immediately reported. In fact, True Person Tongyou was just giving it a try. As for the spirit of the Sky Reaching Tower, he had always thought of it as a legend. After all, the Sky Reaching Tower was just a magic treasure. How could it have a Tower Spirit?

But now, at the critical moment of life and death for the Sky Reaching Sect, True Person Tongyou could only give it a try. Unexpectedly, there really was a tower spirit awakening.

"The critical moment of life and death for the Sky Reaching Sect? How dare anyone attack the Sky Reaching Sect? Don't they know that the Sky Reaching Sect is a Golden Core Dao lineage? Don't worry, with me here, no one can exterminate the Sky Reaching Sect!"

With the awakening of the tower spirit, the Sky Reaching Tower suddenly shrank.

"Rumble."

The Sky Reaching Tower suddenly shrank from towering into the clouds to a treasure tower of tens of meters. Although it was much smaller, on the Sky Reaching Tower, precious light was abundant and colors were overflowing. It emitted a very strong spiritual pressure. Even True Person Tongyou, at this moment, felt as if he was being suppressed by the Sky Reaching Tower.

In a single moment, elation surged within his heart. A glimmer of hope revealed itself upon his countenance. The moment Tongyou awoke the Tower Spirit, the Sky Reaching transformed into a splendid structure, several dozen meters tall, suspended in the ethereal void.

All of this took less than a breath's time. Yet Lin Fei harbored no hesitation. A saber essence of a thousand meters, after cleaving through the protective mountain formation, proceeded downwards, striking mercilessly upon the Sky Reaching Tower.

"Boom!"

The void resonated, vibrating abruptly.

"Ah... Damn it, what kind of saber intent is this? No, it's saber momentum! The combination of saber momentum and true essence? When did martial arts become like this, where saber momentum can be combined with true essence?"

The Tower Spirit shrieked in agony. This one strike from Lin Fei seemed to inflict on the Tower Spirit an unparalleled torment.

"Crack."

The next moment, the Sky Reaching Tower dimmed, its divine glow waning. A fissure was formed. Although it was a mere, insignificant crack and it was hardly worth mentioning in comparison to the dozens of meters tall Sky Reaching Tower, don't forget about the one thousand meters long saber! Moreover, it was saber momentum! Should this strike truly descend, the Sky Reaching Tower would surely be destroyed!

"Damn you, the old ghost of Tongming, the inheritance you left for your disciples is on the verge of being obliterated. And you expect me to be their scapegoat? Impossible! Sky Reaching Tower, retract!"

In the next moment, the Tower Spirit roared in rage. The dozens of meters tall Sky Reaching Tower astonishingly contracted. In a blink of an eye, it reduced to the size of a grain, vanishing into thin air.

At this moment, True Person Tongyou was dumbfounded. The disciples of the Sky Reaching Sect who cultivated Qi were equally flabbergasted.

The Sky Reaching Tower...had actually disappeared. The proud Tower Spirit that stood there just moments ago, thought of as the savior of the Sky Reaching Sect, was believed to be able to turn the tide.

And what was the outcome?

With a single strike, the spirit of the Sky Reaching Tower had actually fled!

"Thud."

Lin Fei's one thousand meters long saber fiercely crashed into the grounds of the Sky Reaching Sect.

"No..."

The True Person Tongyou, devoid of any resistance, was engulfed by the one thousand meters long saber essence, and instantly ground into dust. Many of the disciples and elders failed to escape, most of them butchered by the vast saber essence.

"Rumble."

The peaks of the Sky Reaching Sect collapsed one after another. Even the ground below bore a colossal chasm. The Sky Reaching Sect was thoroughly reduced to ruins! A millennia-old inheritance was destroyed in a moment!

200. Obliterating the Ten Great Immortal Sects

"It's broken... Even the mountain gate of the foremost immortal sect of this era has been shattered..."

Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin exchanged glances, each seeing the shock mirrored in the other's eyes. Who could have anticipated that Lin Fei could actually break through the mountain gate of the Sky Reaching Sect?

Especially Shen Lianxin. He had previously unleashed three saber strikes, but what was the outcome? Not even the protective mountain formation of the Sky Reaching Sect could be shaken in the slightest. Even more, he felt that even if his strength increased tenfold, he still would not be able to disrupt the mountain protection formation.

Yet now, Lin Fei had cleaved open the mountain gate of the Sky Reaching Sect with a single saber strike, even obliterating the Sky Reaching Sect entirely. A millennia-old inheritance, destroyed in a moment! The entire Sky Reaching Sect was instantaneously reduced to ruins.

"Eliminate evil thoroughly, cut the grass, and remove the roots! Saber momentum, suppress!"

Yet Lin Fei didn't let his guard down or become negligent. He stood in the void, his robe fluttering, his saber momentum expanding once again, enveloping the entirety of the Sky Reaching Sect in an instant.

Under the envelopment of the saber momentum, any Qi cultivator hidden within the Sky Reaching Sect could not evade Lin Fei's senses. Thus, Lin Fei flicked his fingers.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

His saber essence instantaneously transformed into hundreds of precious sabers, flying towards those Qi cultivators who had luckily survived with their fierce edges.

"Squelch."

Not a single Qi cultivator could withstand Lin Fei's saber essence. Perhaps this was somewhat brutal, but Lin Fei was very clear.

Eliminate evil thoroughly!

If he did not cut the grass and remove the roots, who knew when the remnants of the Sky Reaching Sect would rise from the ashes? When that time came, it would threaten the entire Nine Profound Sect!

Therefore, at this moment, Lin Fei showed not a shred of hesitation. Hundreds, even thousands of saber essences continued to slaughter within the ruins of the Sky Reaching Sect.

These saber essences were indomitable, pierced through even those hiding beneath the broken walls and ruins. A quarter of an hour later, the saber essences returned to Lin Fei's body. The air was thick with the stench of blood.

The Sky Reaching Sect, in fact, did not have many disciples, only a few hundred. But these were all Qi cultivators, several hundred Qi cultivators now all lay buried within the ruins of the Sky Reaching Sect.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, something stirred in Lin Fei's heart, His gaze turned to a certain direction in the void.

"Want to escape? Return!"

Lin Fei seized with his large hand.

"Hum."

Immediately, a strand of saber essence flew out, instantaneously condensing into several hundred meters long heavenly saber! The terrifying edge seemed to slice through the void itself.

"Stop, don't strike, please, don't strike. If you strike again, I'll shatter..."

At this moment, a voice sounded from the void, It was none other than the spirit of the Sky Reaching Tower from before. Subsequently, the originally empty void revealed the Sky Reaching Tower once again.

However, this tower was only about dozens of centimeters tall, delicately exquisite, emitting a precious glow. Yet the glow appeared somewhat dim as if it could disappear at any moment. This indicated that the Sky Reaching Tower had suffered heavy damage. Clearly, it was Lin Fei's earlier saber strike that severely damaged the Sky Reaching Tower.

"What sort of magic treasure are you? You have sentience?" Lin Fei asked with a furrowed brow.

A sentient magic treasure was simply unheard of. At least, the magical artifacts and magic treasures wielded by Qi Condensation cultivators and Foundation Establishment True Persons did not possess any form of sentience.

Yet, this Sky Reaching Tower seemed to be somewhat special.

"I'm a magic treasure that has passed through a heavenly tribulation. Isn't it normal to develop sentience? Every magic treasure that has passed through a heavenly tribulation will develop sentience, only varying degrees of wisdom. I was originally of weak sentience. But after six thousand years in the Sky Reaching Sect, my wisdom naturally grew to about the same level as you cultivators," The Tower Spirit spoke confidently.

"So you've existed for six thousand years?"

Lin Fei was somewhat astonished. Six thousand years! Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator only has a lifespan of a mere five hundred years. But the tower spirit before him had existed for six thousand years.

"Indeed, I have had sentience for six thousand years. But you needn't be so amazed. The foundation of a spirit is the magic treasure. If the magic treasure is damaged, then the spirit dies as well. Moreover, the spirit is forever trapped within the magic treasure and cannot stray far from it. In this aspect, we are far inferior to you cultivators."

Lin Fei remained silent. The Tower Spirit seemed quite fond of talking, rambling on and on.

After speaking for a while, the spirit seemed to sense that something was off. It hastily asked, "Your gaze is very dangerous. What are you planning to do? I have answered every question you've asked without the slightest concealment."

The spirit became somewhat anxious.

Lin Fei calmly stated, "You know so much, it's no different from those Foundation Establishment True Persons. You are the fundamental magic treasure of the Sky Reaching Sect. So, I was considering whether or not to destroy you."

The Tower Spirit turned pale with fright, immediately shouting, "No, please, don't! I'm merely a spirit, and the Sky Reaching Tower is just a magic treasure. Ever since that old devil, Tongming left to cross the sea, I've been staying in the Sky Reaching Sect. No one has been able to make me acknowledge them as my master. Only some seals and prohibitions left by Tongming could control me slightly. You can use those seals and prohibitions to control me too."

The will to live was strong. The Sky Reaching Tower Spirit did not want to die. Once the Sky Reaching Tower was destroyed, it would be equivalent to it dying. And Lin Fei's earlier saber strike had proven that Lin Fei was capable of destroying the Sky Reaching Tower.

"But I'm not a Qi cultivator. I don't have spiritual power. Those seals and prohibitions are of no use to me."

"There is a way, I have a way! For all these years, no one within the Sky Reaching Sect has been able to make me recognize them as my master. I am now an unowned magic treasure. I can recognize you as my master."

"I've heard that to control a magic treasure, one needs to refine it with special seals. I have no spiritual power, how am I to refine it?"

"Minor problem, it truly is a minor problem. It doesn't matter if you don't have spiritual power, just drip a drop of blood on it."

"A drop of blood?"

Lin Fei furrowed his brows. He had never heard of magical artifacts or magic treasures being controlled by dripping blood on them.

Seeing Lin Fei's doubt, the tower spirit of the Sky Reaching Tower hurriedly explained, "Ordinary magic treasures certainly can't be controlled by dripping blood on them. Even ordinary people can't control them by dripping blood. But you're a Martial Saint, and you have successfully established your Foundation, undergoing a complete transformation. Within your blood, there is a trace of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. To control a magic treasure, all you need is this trace of the Laws of Heaven and Earth."

The tower spirit was terrified that Lin Fei might be unwilling and end up destroying it. Its desire for survival was extremely strong.

Dripping blood for recognition might sound easy, but in reality, is it that simple? It required a spirit that has achieved transcendence. And the spirit should actively refine a drop of Martial Saint's blood. It's not the Martial Saint refining the magic treasure but the magic treasure refining the Martial Saint's blood. And then recognize the master in turn.

This was too humbling! The spirit of the Sky Reaching Tower would have never imagined that one day it would fall into such a state. But for the sake of survival, the Sky Reaching Tower had no other choice.

Lin Fei thought for a moment and still flicked out a drop of fresh blood. It dropped onto the body of the Sky Reaching Tower. Immediately, the tower spirit, "like a starving beast," immediately absorbed this drop of fresh blood and began to actively and rapidly "refine" this drop of Lin Fei's blood.

About half an hour later,

"Buzz."

the Sky Reaching Tower emitted a brilliant light. Lin Fei abruptly raised his head.

"Hmm?"

He had a thought and reached out his hand.

"Whoosh."

The Sky Reaching Tower had already fallen into his hand. Lin Fei could feel he could control the Sky Reaching Tower. Even, any secret within the Sky Reaching Tower, couldn't escape Lin Fei's control. This showed that the Tower Spirit had indeed recognized Lin Fei as its master.

But his control over the Sky Reaching Tower was very limited. Having no spiritual power, every time Lin Fei activated the Sky Reaching Tower, in fact, the Sky Reaching Tower was relying on its own spirit power.

This Sky Reaching Tower was indeed a marvelous magic treasure, it could be big or small. When big, it could reach into the clouds, higher than any mountain. When small, it could transform into the size of a grain of rice, like a speck of dust, hiding in the void. It was a very magical, very powerful magic treasure.

Just that, no one controlled it. The Sky Reaching Tower itself could unleash a great power that even the founder of Great Chang presumably might not match. But it just happened to meet Lin Fei. His saber essence contained true essence and saber momentum. Its power was earth-shattering even the Sky Reaching Tower couldn't withstand it. In the end, it could only out of a desperate will to live, actively recognize Lin Fei as its master, to save itself.

Lin Fei still had many questions about the Sky Reaching Tower. However, Lin Fei first put away the Sky Reaching Tower.

"Whoosh."

The Sky Reaching Tower transformed into a streak of light, flying into Lin Fei's blood. Only in the blood of a Martial Saint could the Sky Reaching Tower be nurtured.

"The Sky Reaching Sect has been destroyed. Next immortal sect."

Thus, Lin Fei, along with Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai, tread on air and departed, swiftly flying toward the horizon.

...

In the thirteenth year of the Yongqing era of the Great Chang, on the twenty-eighth of April,

The Saber Saint, Lin Fei, crushed the Ten Major immortal sects! Millennium Taoist traditions were destroyed in an instant! The immortal sects were greatly shaken. The remaining immortal sects all emerged from their seclusion, coming to the Nine Profound Sect to apologize to the Saber Saint.

From then on, the immortal sects were greatly defeated. All Qi cultivators were under the control of the court. The court established the Immortal Inquiry Hall and Martial Saint Hall, opening up the secrets of Qi cultivation and martial arts to the world.

From then on, both the Immortal Dao and Martial Dao were on par, and the world was greatly stabilized!

Well, the first volume has ended. Lin Fei's story in Great Chang is basically over.
