Chapter 420-423 (Patreon)

420. Tai Su's Treasure Pavilion

Lin Fei's identity became public knowledge. Many instantly recognized Lin Fei's background. The Ancient Origin Saber King had become a renowned figure in the Ancient Continent.

"So, it's the Ancient Origin Saber King Lin Fei, no wonder..." Taoist Lord Tai Su exclaimed in realization. He had naturally heard of Lin Fei and was very familiar with Lin Fei's deeds.

Previously, Tai Su warned his disciples never to provoke anyone from the Ancient Origin Sect, especially the Ancient Origin Saber King Lin Fei. Among the Martial Kings and Nascent Souls, Lin Fei, as the Ancient Origin Saber King, had become an unstoppable force, a powerful figure that no one dared to provoke.

Just look at the Vast Void Immortal Sect. How mighty were they before? With five Nascent Souls anchoring their sect, including a top-tier Nascent Soul expert, they were once the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul lineage. But what happened? The Vast Ethereal Immortal Sect was entirely obliterated by Lin Fei in one swift move!

Furthermore, there were rumors that Lin Fei had slain the Peacock King, a top-tier king-level exotic beast and the offspring of the phoenix. Who could guarantee a victory against the Peacock King?

Yet, the creature met its end at Lin Fei's hands. Not to mention, Lin Fei was now set to become dao companions with Feng Ling, elevating his stature even further.

"Rise!" Lin Fei beckoned, maintaining his True Martial King Form. This allowed him to utilize the maximum power of his Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline to move Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

"Brother Lin, please come with me," said Tai Su, calming his mind. Having Lin Fei's renowned reputation was beneficial. At least with Lin Fei accompanying him, no one would dare to covet Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

With a rumble, Heavenly Pillar Mountain began to tremble violently. It then slowly ascended into the void. Taoist Lord Tai Su bid farewell to the other eight Nascent Souls and, together with Lin Fei, soared into the distant horizon.

Soon, the two had left the Heavenly Pillar Mountain range behind. Neither of them flew very fast. After all, with the immense and terrifying ancient divine mountain, Heavenly Pillar Mountain, in tow, how fast could they possibly go?

Even more importantly, this divine mountain was massive. As it floated in the sky, it inevitably drew the attention of many. However, with Lin Fei and Taoist Lord Tai Su being renowned figures, they managed to avoid many unnecessary troubles.

After flying for two days, the duo finally reached their destination, an influence established by Taoist Lord Tai Su called Tai Su's Treasure Pavilion. The main headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion was located in a bustling city, but this location was just a branch. This branch primarily focused on crafting magical treasures and was situated atop a vast mountain range, isolated from the rest of the world, giving it the feeling of a cave mansion.

At this moment, inside the Treasure Pavilion, there were several Golden Core and Foundation Establishment True Persons. They were thoroughly shaken When they looked to the sky and saw the massive Heavenly Pillar Mountain that overshadowed everything.

Merely witnessing this ancient divine mountain left them without any will to resist; they felt completely outmatched. If the mountain were to fall, the entire Tai Su's Treasure Pavilion would be destroyed in an instant.

"Whoosh."

Thankfully, Taoist Lord Tai Su descended, "Everyone, prepare yourselves. I am about to refine the Heavenly Pillar Mountain!"

"We obey the commands of the Taoist Lord!" The Golden Core True Persons, Foundation Establishment individuals, and others hurriedly dispersed. Only then did they realize that this was the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, the one that Taoist Lord Tai Su had always been talking about. They were excited that Heavenly Pillar Mountain had genuinely been moved to the Treasure Pavilion. This meant they might have the chance to participate in the refining of the ancient divine mountain. Such an opportunity could greatly enhance their artifact-crafting techniques.

Taoist Lord Tai Su turned to Lin Fei, "Brother Lin, please gently lower the Heavenly Pillar Mountain near the Treasure Pavilion, making it convenient for refining magical treasures."

Lin Fei nodded, looked down, and began to control the descent of the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Even though Lin Fei was controlling the speed of its descent, the mountain's immense size and weight caused significant tremors upon landing. The entire ground shook violently, making the Treasure Pavilion unstable.

Thanks to Lin Fei's control, the mountain eventually settled. Hundreds of miles of mountainous terrain landed, flattening countless forests. From a distance, it seemed like a colossal mountain had descended from the sky, introducing a new massive peak amidst the existing mountain range.

Taoist Lord Tai Su, gazing at the now-settled Heavenly Pillar Mountain, remarked, "Truly worthy of being an ancient divine mountain. Brother Lin, into what kind of magical treasure do you wish to refine it?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Fei replied, "Taoist Lord, are you familiar with the Great Divine Mountain Seal?" Saying this, Lin Fei produced the Great Mountain Seal. From his conquest of the Taiyi Dao Palace, he acquired numerous such seals.

"Great Divine Mountain Seal?" Taoist Lord Tai Su recognized it instantly, "Of course, it's an incredibly mystical artifact, capable of changing its size. However, to refine it into a bloodline magical treasure, one needs to infuse it with a particular bloodline during the refining process. Only then can it be controlled by the bloodline. Brother Lin, which bloodline do you intend to use to refine the Heavenly Pillar Mountain?"

Lin Fei clearly understood Taoist Lord Tai Su's meaning. The essence of bloodline magic treasures is different from Nascent Soul magic treasures. A bloodline magic treasure can only be activated by a specific bloodline.

For instance, if Lin Fei were to use the Saber Dao bloodline, only his descendants who inherit the Saber Dao bloodline could activate it. Those without the saber path bloodline would be unable to do so.

However, Lin Fei's desire to have Taoist Lord Tai Su craft a bloodline magic treasure was not for his own use. It was meant as a gift for Feng Ling, with whom he would be spiritually bonded within three months.

"I plan to use the Phoenix bloodline," Lin Fei stated. "If Taoist Lord Tai Su needs any assistance during the crafting of the magic treasure, just let me know."

"Phoenix bloodline?" Taoist Lord Tai Su's eyes brightened, and he instantly realized its purpose: It was for Feng Ling.

"Do you need to invite the Feng Ling over?" he asked.

"No need. I possess the Phoenix bloodline," Lin Fei calmly responded. Having merged with the blood of the True Phoenix, he held the pure Phoenix bloodline. There was no need to invite the Feng Ling. Using the True Phoenix's blood to refine the Great Mountain would mean that the Feng Ling could naturally use the magic treasure later.

"Very well," Taoist Lord Tai Su nodded.

"Can it be done in three months?" Lin Fei further inquired.

"Of course! I can certainly craft it within three months," assured Taoist Lord Tai Su.

With that settled, Lin Fei retired to rest in the residence provided by Tai Su Treasure Pavilion. He was on standby to assist Taoist Lord Tai Su with the magic treasure crafting at any moment.

Back in his room, a gleam sparkled in Lin Fei's eyes, "Now, the Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline has been perfected. Having perfected six bloodlines, it's almost time to cultivate the seventh one."

The rapid perfection of his sixth bloodline had even taken Lin Fei by surprise. Considering his progress, perhaps he could even cultivate the eighth or even the ninth bloodline within the next three months!

With the impending union with Feng Ling and the prospect of challenging the Martial Gods, perhaps he wouldn't need ten years. One year might be sufficient!

421. The Power of the Four Symbols

"Earth, fire, water, wind. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth. The Four Symbols are now complete. Only the wood attribute from the Five Elements' bloodline is missing. What happens, I wonder, when all four attributes of the Four Symbols are simultaneously activated? What kind of transformation would ensue?"

Lin Fei was deeply curious.

Earth, fire, water, wind.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth.

These, in essence, were merely bloodlines Lin Fei had cultivated based on the fundamental elements of the world. He was uncertain what changes might transpire once he cultivated the Four Symbols or the Five Elements.

Perhaps something would shift. Or perhaps nothing would change at all.

Previously, the Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline, representing the Earth attribute, had never reached completion. As a result, Lin Fei didn't unleash the Four Symbols in unison.

But now, the circumstances had altered. The Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline had achieved perfection. All the Four Symbols' bloodlines were complete. It seemed time to experiment.

Lin Fei pondered for a moment and made some preparations. Testing this outside could cause significant disturbances.

This bloodline of the Four Symbols was unique to him, a groundbreaking achievement. If there truly was a transformative power, Lin Fei intended it to be his trump card.

"Retreating into the Dubhe Dao Artifact would be safest," he concluded.

Deciding it best to venture inside the Dubhe Dao Artifact, he wanted to witness any distinctive changes upon the simultaneous activation of the Four Symbols' bloodlines.

He was unafraid of the Dubhe Dao Artifact being discovered. He had set protective measures nearby. He would sense them instantly if anyone approached, ready to retract the artifact if necessary.

Besides, the Taoist Lord Tai Su was currently engrossed in refining the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, leaving no time to seek out Lin Fei.

Lin Fei extended his hand, summoning the Dubhe Dao Artifact. With a swift motion, he entered the artifact.

Inside, with a mere thought, Lin Fei chanted, "Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline!"

With a mighty rumble, he unveiled the True Martial King Form.

This vast True Martial King Form exuded an aura of profundity, mystique, and sanctity.

Were he standing upon the land at this moment, Lin Fei would, using the Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline alone, be able to control the sacred mountains within a thousand-mile radius.

Perhaps even command the very earth itself! Such was the power of the earth attribute bloodline.

"Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline!"

Subsequently, Lin Fei invoked the Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline. Instantly, flames appeared on his True Martial King Form—chilling, cold flames.

"Annihilation Frost Bloodline!"

Lin Fei's form grew even colder. This was the bloodline of ice, which could also be considered the bloodline of water.

"Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline!"

With the activation of the fourth bloodline, the quartet of bloodlines manifested themselves on Lin Fei.

Earth, fire, water, wind.

All four major bloodlines were now fully present!

A resonating hum filled the air. Initially, each bloodline on Lin Fei's True Martial King Form acted independently, showing no alterations. However, as the four bloodlines appeared simultaneously, concentrating within the singular True Martial King Form...

A mighty roar resonated within Lin Fei. He had an inkling—a sensation that these four bloodlines could merge.

Typically, merging all nine bloodlines gave one the opportunity to challenge the Martial Gods. Yet without all nine bloodlines, a forced fusion would likely lead to conflicts between them, almost always resulting in failure.

But now, Lin Fei's intuition was intriguingly delicate. He felt, against all odds, that these four bloodlines could fuse successfully.

"Let's try," he murmured. Taking a deep breath, he whispered, "Merge!"

At the whim of Lin Fei's thought, the four bloodlines on his True Martial King Form drew closer to one another with his uttered command. They converged rapidly and began to merge directly.

Four completely distinct, entirely contrasting bloodlines—lacking any inherent connection—were now blending as naturally as water flowing into a channel, merging effortlessly and smoothly.

With the fusion of these four bloodlines, they faintly transformed into a single bloodline. Concurrently, Lin Fei's True Martial King Form underwent earth-shattering changes, as if imbued with a mysterious power that pervaded its entirety.

"Grow!"

With but a thought, Lin Fei's True Martial King Form expanded under this enigmatic force. Initially standing at a height of tens of thousands of meters, it was already close to the peak of its potential. Yet now, it swelled tenfold, reaching an astounding height of over one hundred thousand meters!

The increase in power that this brought about was like turning heaven and earth upside down. It was a metamorphosis in its essence! With the strength of Lin Fei's current True Martial King Form, he felt that neither the Martial King nor the Nascent Soul level could match him in power.

Moreover, that mysterious power seemed to carry the strength of the four bloodlines. Once unleashed, it would be akin to the simultaneous explosion of the four bloodlines.

"This power should be called the Power of the Four Symbols!" Lin Fei named this newfound strength. It was due to this brand new force that Lin Fei's True Martial King Form had become so powerful.

Although Lin Fei could sense it was just a temporary fusion, the power derived from this Four Symbols was immensely formidable.

"If the bloodlines of the Four Symbols merged to create the Power of the Four Symbols, would the Five Elements bloodline merge to produce the Power of the Five Elements?"

A thought flashed through Lin Fei's mind, hinting at a possibility. In reality, this was highly likely. Both the Power of the Four Symbols and the Power of the Five Elements were born from the fusion of bloodlines, acting upon the True Martial King Form. Possessing either one would make a Martial King almost invincible. As for Lin Fei? He might very well harness two brand new powers!

Lin Fei even had a vague feeling: Could this Power of the Four Symbols be related to the power of the Martial Gods, namely the divine power? Lin Fei had never encountered divine power, and he didn't know its nature, so he couldn't make a comparison.

"Currently, for the Power of the Five Elements, I'm missing a wood-elemental bloodline. The seventh bloodline should be the one of wood attribute."

Lin Fei retracted his True Martial King Form. The Four Symbols bloodline once again separated into four distinct bloodlines. Lin Fei merely possessed the Power of the Four Symbols, still lacking one for the Five Elements, making it impossible for him to produce its power now.

Within the Dubhe Dao Artifact, Lin Fei started searching for cultivation techniques related to the wood-elemental bloodline. Most of these wood attributes were related to "vitality". After all, in many contexts, "wood" often directly represents "life".

"Vitality..." Lin Fei instantly thought of the Immortal Avatar. If the "wood attribute" bloodline could strengthen his physical body at a particle level, making it harder to be obliterated by particles, then this wood attribute bloodline would be extremely valuable. With that, Lin Fei began selecting cultivation techniques.

"Endless Vitality Green Wood Bloodline!"

Lin Fei spotted a cultivation technique. This wood-attributed technique perfectly met his requirements. Its vitality was endless. Even powers capable of obliterating particles would find it challenging to wipe out all traces of life from it. As long as a trace of vitality remains, particles could recover!

"It's you!"

Lin Fei took a deep breath. The aura of the six bloodlines enveloped this bloodline technique. With a "whoosh" sound, the Endless Vitality Green Wood Bloodline instantly entered Lin Fei's body.

422. The Seventh Bloodline

"System."

Lin Fei immediately summoned the system panel. It seemed that he hadn't checked the system panel for a while.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Late Stage Martial King

Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline: Perfection

Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline: Perfection

Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline: Perfection

Supreme Yang Heavenly Thunder Bloodline: Perfection

Annihilation Frost Bloodline: Perfection

Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline: Perfection

Endless Vitality Green Wood Bloodline: Beginner (1%)

Indeed, Lin Fei's Endless Vitality Green Wood Bloodline had only reached the beginner stage, with a cultivation progress of merely 1%. However, his martial realm advanced directly from the mid-stage of Martial King to its late stage.

Of course, there's still some way to go before reaching the peak of Martial King, but that's just a matter of realm. In terms of actual strength, even without using the Four Symbols Power, Lin Fei already matches a peak Martial King!

As Lin Fei cultivated the Endless Vitality Green Wood Bloodline, he could feel an abundant Life Power coursing through him.

However, during his cultivation, he encountered a problem. He lacked a Divine Ability related to life. Even though he had wood-attributed Divine Abilities, they were all about offense or defense, having no connection to "life" or "vitality." Integrating them into the bloodline couldn't enhance the bloodline's cultivation progress.

Lin Fei had already tested this. He theorized that to enhance the Green Wood Bloodline, one might need to absorb something rich in life essence.

"It seems I need to gather some rare treasures." Lin Fei immediately thought of these rare treasures that contain life essence.

"Hmm?"

Just then, Lin Fei sensed someone approaching. He swiftly exited the Dubhe Dao Artifact and put it away.

"Senior, the Taoist Lord wishes to see you," called out a Golden Core True Person from the Tai Su Treasure Pavilion outside.

"I'll be right there." Lin Fei checked the time. Several days seemed to have passed. The Taoist Lord Tai Su must have begun attempting to refine the magic treasure from Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Lin Fei knew he had to see it for himself. He left his room and headed directly towards Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

Soon, he saw the Taoist Lord Tai Su, who was indeed studying Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

"Whoosh."

Lin Fei appeared before the Taoist Lord. Seeing Lin Fei, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Friend Lin, I originally intended to refine two magic treasures by splitting this Heavenly Pillar Mountain into two. However, I found that no matter what, I couldn't cut it. If I use flames to burn it slowly, it'll turn to ashes. Without splitting the mountain, if I try to refine it, I'll end up refining the entire Heavenly Pillar Mountain. So, I had no choice but to call upon you."

The Taoist Lord Tai Su said helplessly. Clearly, he had thought of various methods and tried them all, but they all failed. In the end, he had no choice but to turn to Lin Fei.

For the Taoist Lord Tai Su, it was somewhat embarrassing. A prestigious master in artifact refinement, he viewed Heavenly Pillar Mountain merely as raw material. And yet, he couldn't even cut through this raw material. How was he supposed to refine a magic treasure?

"I'll give it a try," Lin Fei said. He hadn't expected this situation. Why couldn't Heavenly Pillar Mountain be cut? After all, the mountain had already collapsed and was nearly destroyed, leaving only the underground body of Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Logically, it should be possible to cut it.

"Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline!" Lin Fei activated the Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline. Instantly, the True Martial King Form manifested, stretching ten thousand meters, resembling a peerless treasure saber.

"Heavenly Saber, Slash!" In Lin Fei's hand was also a gigantic saber. He swung it down with a saber glow spanning several hundred feet, fiercely striking Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

"Boom!" Heavenly Pillar Mountain shook violently. The entire mountain range trembled, and even the Tai Su Treasure Pavilion swayed continuously. The might of Lin Fei's saber was evident. Some Daoists from the Tai Su Treasure Pavilion who had never seen Lin Fei manifest his True Martial King Form were in awe. The power he displayed was both shocking and intimidating.

Although the Taoist Lord Tai Su was a Nascent Soul Great Being, he rarely took action, focusing more on refining magic treasures. He rarely even manifested his Nascent Soul Magic Avatar. However, even when the Taoist Lord Tai Su did display his Nascent Soul avatar, or even used a magic treasure, he did not exhibit as formidable a presence as Lin Fei.

But, as the saber light dissipated and the dust settled, Lin Fei witnessed the scene before him. Incredibly, Heavenly Pillar Mountain remained untouched. Even his Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline couldn't make a mark on Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

"Can Heavenly Pillar Mountain be burned with flames?" Lin Fei asked.

"It can," replied the Taoist Lord, "but it would take a very long time. And when I refine magic treasures, I mostly rely on runes. I don't necessarily change the material's shape completely. Besides, fully refining Heavenly Pillar Mountain is simply impossible."

Lin Fei understood.

The meaning of Taoist Lord Tai Su was quite straightforward. He could refine Heavenly Pillar Mountain into a magic treasure, but it would have to be split open. If not split, the complete Heavenly Pillar Mountain could also be refined, but then Lin Fei might not get a part of it.

Naturally, Lin Fei would not agree for the entire Heavenly Pillar Mountain to be refined into a magic treasure unless the entire mountain was given to him. Perhaps there's one possibility he would agree to: if the refined magic treasure was given to him. If that was the case, he'd agree. But would Taoist Lord Tai Su agree?

"Taoist Lord Tai Su, even my Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline cannot cut through Heavenly Pillar Mountain," Lin Fei remarked. "It seems that with the power of a Martial King, it's tough to damage Heavenly Pillar Mountain. We might need to delay the refining process of Heavenly Pillar Mountain."

"Delay? For how long? A day? A month? Or a year? Even longer?" Taoist Lord Tai Su's expression shifted slightly.

"It could be a year, ten years, or even a century, or even longer," Lin Fei replied. "In short, unless a method is found to cut Heavenly Pillar Mountain, we shouldn't refine it."

"What?" Taoist Lord Tai Su became somewhat anxious. As a master of artifact refinement, he was deeply passionate about his craft. Especially for a treasure like Heavenly Pillar Mountain with its unique properties.

Finding another ancient divine mountain that once bridged heaven and earth would be nearly impossible. Having Heavenly Pillar Mountain within reach and not being able to refine it into a magic treasure was agonizing for him.

Taoist Lord Tai Su looked at Lin Fei, his expression fluctuating. After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Friend Lin, there might still be a way. I can still refine a magic treasure using the entire Heavenly Pillar Mountain as material, creating a world-shaking artifact. This magic treasure can be given to you. However, after exerting so much effort and receiving no benefit after refining the magic treasure, you must agree to one condition for me."

"A condition? Please speak." Lin Fei's eyes lit up. Refining a magic treasure from an entire Heavenly Pillar Mountain would undoubtedly be earth-shattering. Even if there were ten conditions, Lin Fei would agree! Of course, Lin Fei also needed to hear what exactly the condition was.

423. Heavenly Pillar Seal

Taoist Lord Tai Su hesitated for a moment. Taking a deep breath, he said solemnly, "Although I have always been kind to others, as a refiner, the many magic treasures I've created have inevitably attracted envy and malice. Especially when the magic treasure is highly coveted. Some Nascent Soul or Martial King powerhouses have coveted my magic treasures and even demanded them forcibly."

He continued, "My conditions are simple. Firstly, you must become an honorary elder of the Tai Su Treasure Pavilion. Just an honorary position and you won't be required to do anything. Only when the Tai Su Treasure Pavilion faces life and death do we hope for your assistance."

"Secondly, there's a task for you. I once crafted a set of magic treasures named 'Vajra Chain'. It's composed of three Nascent Soul magic treasures, making up one powerful Nascent Soul magic treasure. Its power is immense, arguably one of the strongest magic treasures I've ever made. However, it was 'borrowed' by the 'Three Immortals' of the Three Immortals Sect and has not been returned to this day. I hope you can retrieve this magic treasure from the hands of the Three Immortals."

After Taoist Lord Tai Su laid out his conditions, Lin Fei pondered over them. The conditions weren't excessive. The first was merely a ceremonial title at the Tai Su Refining Pavilion, which posed no problem. As for the second, reclaiming a magic treasure from the San Xian Sect, especially one that the Three Immortals merely "borrowed" from Taoist Lord Tai Su, seemed straightforward. It might just come down to a show of strength. As long as the opponents were at the Nascent Soul cultivator level, Lin Fei wasn't concerned.

"Very well, I agree," Lin Fei responded. "Now, please start refining Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Craft it in the manner of the Great Mountain Divine Seal, so the final magic treasure can change its size while retaining unparalleled power."

Having agreed to the terms, Taoist Lord Tai Su nodded. "I will begin the refining process immediately. However, Daoist fellow Lin, you should stay nearby. During the refining process, we might need the Phoenix bloodline within you."

With that, Taoist Lord Tai Su began his work. The vastness of Heavenly Pillar Mountain, spanning hundreds of miles, left Lin Fei curious about the method Taoist Lord Tai Su would employ. After all, this mountain was notoriously difficult to damage. How would he go about refining it? How to refine it?

Taoist Lord Tai Su led a group of Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Daoists, casting one spell seal after another. These seals were inscribed onto Heavenly Pillar Mountain. At first, there seemed to be no effect.

However, as time went on, one day, two days, three days... up to five days and more...

Over a month, almost two months, in fact, was spent just inscribing these spell seals.

By now, nearly every inch of Heavenly Pillar Mountain was covered in these inscriptions, which finally began to exhibit their power.

"Om." With a jolt of Taoist Lord Tai Su's spiritual power, the mountain began to tremble.

"Shrink!" He shouted, and immediately, Heavenly Pillar Mountain began to gradually decrease in size. The process was slow, but the vast mountain indeed began to reduce. Taoist Lord Tai Su was pleased with the progress and continued to cast his spells, chanting repeatedly, "Shrink, shrink, shrink!"

The hundreds of miles of Heavenly Pillar Mountain would soon reduce to just a hundred miles, then dozens of miles, ten miles, nine, eight, seven, six...

The shrinking process was swift. By the time the mountain was reduced to about a mile, Taoist Lord Tai Su paused.

"We've reached the limit!" He declared. "Daoist fellow Lin, we need your Phoenix bloodline now. Drip it onto Heavenly Pillar Mountain."

Lin Fei nodded. The True Phoenix Blood inside him surged forward.

"Go," he whispered, allowing the Phoenix Blood to drop onto the mountain. The inscriptions on the mountain shone brightly, seemingly absorbing the True Phoenix Blood until no trace was visible on the surface.

As the True Phoenix Blood manifested, Taoist Lord Tai Su began to summon flames.

"Fire!"

Flames roared to life, with countless Golden Core True Persons also channeling their energy to feed the blaze. For a magic treasure of this caliber, the combined effort of everyone in the Tai Su Pavilion was necessary. Relying solely on Taoist Lord Tai Su wouldn't suffice.

Moreover, even with everyone's collective effort, Heavenly Pillar Mountain was no ordinary divine mountain. It was an ancient divine mountain, connected to both heaven and earth. Thus, the flames couldn't affect it easily.

"Do you need my assistance, Tai Su?" Lin Fei suddenly asked, noting he could also summon flames, not only the Triple Yin True Fire but also the ultimate Yang Flame. It was just not the True Flame.

"I appreciate your help, Lin," Taoist Lord Tai Su replied, "but please, follow my lead."

"Of course!" With a thought from Lin Fei, the Saber World descended.

"Fire!"

This was an ordinary flame. But within the Saber World, Lin Fei's flames seemed endless, fiercely burning, and overwhelming, engulfing the entire Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

"How powerful these flames are! The power of Daoist Lin's flames alone seems to be more terrifying than all of ours combined."

"But this is good. We can refine Heavenly Pillar Mountain faster."

Taoist Lord Tai Su was taken aback. He hadn't expected Lin Fei's flames to be so formidable. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have struggled to summon flames himself. He would have directly sought Lin Fei's assistance.

As the flames blazed, the surface of Heavenly Pillar Mountain began to melt. Taoist Lord Tai Su continued to cast his spell seals. With the combination of these seals and Lin Fei's flames, the mountain started to tremble violently and shrink further.

Each time the mountain shrank a little, Taoist Lord Tai Su would have Lin Fei drop in more of the Phoenix bloodline. This cycle repeated nearly twenty times.

With a resonating "Om," Heavenly Pillar Mountain shuddered slightly and transformed into a magic treasure resembling a seal. It was just like the original Great Mountain Divine Seal.

Moreover, after these twenty-plus rituals involving the Phoenix blood, Lin Fei felt a deep connection to Heavenly Pillar Mountain. He could even control it merely by using the Phoenix blood. And no other bloodline would work; only the True Phoenix Blood could control Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

Two months had passed.

"Daoist fellow Lin, your trust was not misplaced. The magic treasure is now complete!" Taoist Lord Tai Su exclaimed.

"It's done?" Lin Fei looked at the seal-like peak in his hand, which was Heavenly Pillar Mountain. It appeared ancient and wild, emanating an age-old aura. This magic treasure was somewhat out of Taoist Lord Tai Su's expertise, as he couldn't refine it completely. The best he could do was adjust its size.

But even this feature was significant. It meant Lin Fei could carry Heavenly Pillar Mountain with him, and in a battle, simply hurl it at his opponents. For beings at the Martial King and Nascent Soul stages, the mountain was nearly indestructible. It would hit its mark with surety every time. Aside from top-tier Martial Kings like Lin Fei, who could withstand its impact?

The previous Great Mountain Divine Seal from the Taiyi Dao Palace was somewhat similar. However, its base was nowhere near the caliber of Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

"Daoist fellow Lin, this magic treasure is now refined. Though it requires a blood sacrifice, any Phoenix bloodline can control it. It's also very convenient if you wish to gift it to someone. Do you have a name in mind for this magic treasure?" Taoist Lord Tai Su inquired.

"Let's call it the Heavenly Pillar Seal," Lin Fei responded, having thought of the name beforehand. He promptly stored Heavenly Pillar Mountain and said to Taoist Lord Tai Su, "Thank you for your efforts, Taoist Lord Tai Su. I must now visit the Three Immortals Sect and retrieve the Vajra Chain."

Without delay, Lin Fei transformed into a beam of light and vanished into the horizon.
