Lin Fei stepped out of the secret chamber and arrived at the underground hall. He saw three elders still sitting cross-legged on meditation cushions.

"Thank you, three seniors!"

Lin Fei respectfully bowed. Breaking through to the innate realm in the Ascending Dragon Chamber helped him consolidate his realm, saving him months or even a year's worth of hard work. It truly was a great place!

One of the elders, with a glint in his eyes, smiled and said, "We provided the Ascending Dragon Chamber, but you had to achieve the innate realm before realizing its benefits. However, calling you out of the Ascending Dragon Chamber isn't due to stinginess. The consumption of the secret chamber in the Ascending Dragon Chamber is massive.

For example, the Heaven Room you were in required us to activate the formation, assist you in cultivation, and provide you with a vast amount of Spiritual Qi. The consumption for just one hour is unimaginable for ordinary people. So, under normal circumstances, After breaking through and consolidating their cultivation in the secret chamber, one must leave immediately.

Even high-ranking Qi cultivators aren't allowed to enter the secret chambers in the Ascending Dragon Chamber for cultivation at will. They must make significant contributions to the royal family."

Lin Fei understood that the Ascending Dragon Chamber was even more valuable than he had imagined. The royal family's kindness to him this time came at no small cost.

"Three seniors, can you tell me now why I was allowed to cultivate in this incredibly precious Ascending Dragon Chamber?" Lin Fei was now an innate martial artist. He was on the same level as the three royal family elders. He was also entitled to know the "reason."

One of the elders sighed and slowly said, "Actually, the reason is simple. It's because you're a disciple of the Nine Profound Sect."

"Huh? A Nine Profound Sect disciple, just for that reason?"

Lin Fei found it very strange. There were many Nine Profound Sect disciples. Thousands upon thousands. The royal family didn't provide help to them. So why did they help Lin Fei? This reason seemed somewhat unconvincing.

"This has to start with the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor. After the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor achieved the Grand Master realm, he was distressed by the lack of a path to build a foundation, so he came to Chang City and sought the royal family.

He wanted to obtain the foundation-building secret of Great Chang's founding emperor. Our Great Chang founding emperor established the country with martial arts, and it wasn't just lip service. Nine hundred years have passed, and many people don't know that our Great Chang founding emperor was a Martial Saint who swept across all directions, invincible, and suppressed all those who defied him! Eventually, he established the Great Chang dynasty!

The Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor wanted to know the secret of how our Great Chang founding emperor achieved the Martial Saint realm. In the end, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the royal family spoke up and granted the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor access. The Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor then entered the royal palace, entered this 'Ascending Dragon Chamber', and viewed the martial arts secret records left behind by the founding emperor.

How astonishing was the talent of the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor? His martial arts aptitude was no less than that of the founding emperor. The royal family originally had high hopes for the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor to become the second Martial Saint of Great Chang!

Unfortunately, after the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor read the martial arts secret records left by the founding emperor, he kept exclaiming, 'I don't believe it.' Then, the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor left a martial arts technique in the Ascending Dragon Chamber and left.

Later, the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor found some excuses and destroyed the mountain gates of several immortal sects. Those immortal sects had grievances against our Great Chang royal family, even secretly opposing the royal family. However, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the royal family couldn't take action.

As a result, the problem was solved by the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor. We know that the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor was repaying the royal family's kindness. It's precisely because of this connection that when we learned you were a disciple of the Nine Profound Sect with outstanding talent, we were willing to establish a good relationship."

The three elders recounted the story of that year. It was as if they had witnessed the peerless elegance of the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor himself.

The Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor in his lifetime was not inferior to anyone. Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators greatly admired the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor. But why didn't such a stunning figure as the Nine Profound Sect's Ancestor build a foundation and become a Martial Saint? It's rather puzzling.

However, Lin Fei now had a faint guess. Perhaps it was related to the "martial arts secret records" left behind by the Great Chang founding emperor. This could also be considered part of the royal family's "secrets."

Lin Fei didn't expect that the Great Chang founding emperor was actually a Martial Saint! With his Martial Saint realm, he swept across all directions and suppressed everything! He must have also suppressed many Foundation Establishment cultivators from various immortal sects. Otherwise, how could he have established the Great Chang dynasty?

Saying that Great Chang was established with martial arts was indeed not a mistake. Especially since the founding emperor left behind martial arts secret records. These must be records related to martial arts foundation building.

Lin Fei felt a burning desire in his heart.

"Three elders, I wonder if I could have a look at the martial arts secret records left by the founding emperor?" Lin Fei directly asked the three elders.

The three elders shook their heads slightly and said, "Regarding the martial arts secret records, the founding emperor stated that only Martial Arts Grand Masters are allowed to view them. Otherwise, no one is permitted to see them! What a pity, how rare are Martial Arts Grand Masters in this world? Even though the founding emperor left behind many secret martial arts techniques for the royal family, we, the descendants, have no chance to pursue the path of martial arts.

For nine hundred years, not a single Martial Arts Grand Master has emerged from the royal family. Nowadays, the royal family has to rely on Foundation Establishment cultivators to barely maintain the balance and suppress the four directions. Therefore, Lin Fei, since you have not yet achieved the Grand Master realm, the martial arts secret records left by the founding emperor cannot be shown to you for the time being."

Upon saying this, the three elders shook their heads and sighed. With the various resources the royal family can obtain by controlling the world, it still cannot give birth to a Martial Arts Grand Master. It showed how difficult the path of martial arts is, as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Lin Fei understood. The martial arts secret records left by the founding emperor could only be viewed by Martial Arts Grand Masters.

"So, once I achieve the Grand Master realm, can I view the martial arts secret records?"

"Of course. The founding emperor left the martial arts secret records in hopes that a second Martial Saint would be born. By that time, the martial artist who has viewed the martial arts secret records, if they become a Martial Saint, would naturally owe the royal family a favor. If the royal family faces danger, the Martial Saint who has read the martial arts secret records would naturally lend a helping hand.

This is also a path left by the founding emperor for us, the descendants of the royal family, to form connections with Martial Arts Grand Masters. If you, Lin, become a Grand Master, you can come to see the martial arts secret records anytime."

Lin Fei nodded. The Great Chang founding emperor was indeed far-sighted. He took the initiative to leave behind martial arts secret records, generously allowing Martial Arts Grand Masters to view them.

Once they do, the Martial Arts Grand Masters would undoubtedly owe the royal family a favor. How could they not protect the royal family in the future? So, the royal family was able to maintain its power for nine hundred years.

"Thank you, three seniors. I have now reached the innate realm and need martial arts techniques in the innate realm. Therefore, I need to return to the Nine Profound Sect. If I ever achieve the Grand Master realm, I will definitely come to bother the three seniors again!"

After saying this, Lin Fei prepared to leave. After all, without innate realm techniques, Lin Fei would be unable to cultivate. He needed to hurry back to the Nine Profound Sect as soon as possible.

"Wait a moment."

At this point, one of the elders spoke, "Lin, my friend, why do you need to return to the Nine Profound Sect to obtain innate realm techniques?"

"Uh?"

Lin Fei was puzzled. Could it be that these royal elders would give him the techniques left behind by the Great Chang founding emperor? But that was simply impossible. Those martial arts techniques could only be practiced by members of the royal family. No matter how one looked at it, Lin Fei was not a member of the royal family.

"Lin, my friend, as I mentioned earlier. After the founder of the Nine Profound Sect viewed the martial arts secret records, he left behind a martial arts technique in the Ascending Dragon Chamber. That martial arts technique is truly profound and indescribable. Moreover, as far as I know, for some reason, the founder of the Nine Profound Sect did not leave this martial arts technique within the sect. Are you interested, Lin?"

Lin Fei's eyes lit up. A martial arts technique left behind by the founder of the Nine Profound Sect and it was left behind after viewing the martial arts secret records.

At that time, the founder of the Nine Profound Sect had reached the pinnacle of his martial arts cultivation throughout his life. The techniques he left behind must be extraordinary.

"In that case, I will trouble the three seniors."

"Of course."

So, the three elders immediately stood up. They led Lin Fei toward a distant secret chamber.

"Our 'Ascending Dragon Chamber' has many secret rooms. Back then, the founder of the Nine Profound Sect viewed the martial arts secret records in the Yi Room. He also left this martial arts technique in the Yi Room. Our royal family has completely sealed off the Yi Room and does not open it during normal times. Only innate martial artists are qualified to enter the Yi Room and view the martial arts technique left by the founder of the Nine Profound Sect."

As the stone door of the Yi Room opened, Lin Fei entered the Yi Room.

"Whoosh."

At first glance, Lin Fei saw the huge wall in the Yi Room. It was engraved with one large character after another. Even more surprisingly, these large characters were actually emitting an immense Martial Dao True Intent.
