"Rumble."

The stone door of Yi Room slowly opened. Lin Fei slowly walked out of Yi Room. The three royal elders were still sitting cross-legged in the hall. Upon seeing Lin Fei, they immediately noticed the difference that Lin Fei's eyes were filled with a sharp edge. It seemed like just one glance would make them feel a faint sting in their eyes. The three royal elders were shocked.

"Lin Fei, my young friend, it seems you have gained a lot from your retreat in Yi Room!"

The three elders had some guesses already.

Lin Fei slightly bowed his hand and calmly said, "Thank you, three seniors, for giving me this opportunity. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to practice this unparalleled martial art."

"Indeed, Lin Fei, you are truly a prodigy, having successfully cultivated the extraordinary skill left behind by the Nine Profound Sect's founder!"

Although they had already guessed, Lin Fei's admission still shocked the three elders. After all, the True Intention Scroll had been in Yi Room for hundreds of years. Not a single person from the royal family had been able to successfully cultivate it.

But Lin Fei, in just a few hours, had already succeeded. Lin Fei was a disciple of the Nine Profound Sect and the True Intention Scroll was left by the founder of the Nine Profound Sect. It was too much of a coincidence. Perhaps there was some connection.

Of course, Lin Fei wouldn't tell the three elders. It was the "True Intention Scroll" that begged him to cultivate it. Even though he couldn't practice this martial art himself, even starting was difficult, but the True Intention Scroll "stuck" to Lin Fei and automatically succeeded!

"Three seniors, I have now advanced to the innate realm and have cultivated the True Intention Scroll, so I will take my leave!"

The three royal elders nodded their heads. So, Lin Fei turned around and quickly left the palace. When Lin Fei returned to the South King Mansion, it was already getting late.

"Senior Sister Ling."

"Lin Fei, you're back? You..."

Ling Yao had obviously been waiting for Lin Fei for a long time. As a result, Lin Fei had just returned to South King Mansion when Ling Yao found him. Ling Yao's eyes were filled with anticipation. Although she also noticed that there seemed to be some changes in Lin Fei, she couldn't pinpoint the changes. She needed a definite answer.

Lin Fei knew what Ling Yao wanted to ask. He smiled slightly. He stretched out his hand and pointed at a flower bed in the distance.

"Whoosh."

Saber energy instantly penetrated the air, crossing a distance of several dozen meters. It struck directly into the flower bed. The flowers and plants in the flower bed seemed to have been cut by the sharp saber edge, leaving a clean slice.

"Releasing from the body! Innate True Qi! Lin Fei, did you really successfully advance to the innate realm?" Ling Yao was overjoyed, her voice trembling with excitement.

In any place, innate martial artists were figures who dominate their surroundings. They could be called Masters. That was to say, innate martial artists could establish their own sects.

"Yes, I have advanced to the innate realm!" Lin Fei personally confirmed. As for Ling Yao mistaking the Saber Qi for Innate True Qi, Lin Fei didn't explain. After all, Ling Yao only needed to know that Lin Fei had advanced to the innate realm, and that was enough!

"Innate, truly advanced to the innate realm..."

Ling Yao was still somewhat dazed. At this moment, she seemed to remember that she had only known Lin Fei for at most half a year. In less than a year, Lin Fei had made rapid progress all the way, astonishingly achieving the innate realm! It was like a dream. but the facts before her eyes proved that all of this was real!

"Senior Sister Ling, now that I have advanced to the innate realm, I need to return to the Nine Profound Sect to find innate-level martial arts to practice. So, I'm planning to leave Chang City tomorrow. If you need anything, you can send me a letter."

Lin Fei also revealed his plan. There was no need to stay in Chang City any longer. He had to return to the Nine Profound Sect.

However, Ling Yao frowned and said, "Lin Fei, it might be dangerous for you to leave Chang City now. I've been closely monitoring the movements of the He Mountain Dao during this time. Chang City must have spies from He Mountain Dao. I have already investigated some, but I haven't taken any action yet. Once you leave Chang City, He Mountain Dao will definitely know about it at first moment. Then, you'll be in danger."

Ling Yao's expression was very serious. He Mountain Dao was an immortal sect. They had high-level Qi Condensation cultivators and even top-notch ones. Their strength was extraordinary.

Lin Fei calmly said, "Senior Sister, I can't stay in Chang City forever. Besides, now that I've become innate, how can I be afraid? We, martial artists, should be aggressive and fearless of strong enemies. If we lose our courage and determination to face everything, our martial path will stagnate. He Mountain Dao is indeed a threat, but I am not weak. If their high-level Qi Condensation cultivators dare to take action, I'll cut them down!"

Lin Fei's tone was firm. Clearly, Lin Fei had made up his mind and would not easily change it. Ling Yao opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak. She wanted to persuade Lin Fei that if it were her, she would stay in Chang City for a lifetime rather than take risks.

But Lin Fei was not her. Lin Fei still had to pursue the martial path. If Lin Fei truly feared He Mountain Dao and stayed in Chang City forever, his martial path might really be cut off.

"Fine, I won't try to convince you. Now that you've become innate and also have Martial Dao True Intent, your strength is indeed enough to contend with high-level Qi Condensation cultivators. As long as you're careful, there shouldn't be too much danger. Just don't be careless. He Mountain Dao is a thousand-year-old immortal sect. Although there are no Foundation Establishment cultivators in the current generation, He Mountain Dao once had some, and their foundation is deep. So, be cautious about everything. No matter when there's hope as long as you're alive!"

Ling Yao's expression was solemn, her gaze fixed on Lin Fei.

"Sister Ling, don't worry, I'll be sure to stay alive. After all, only by living can I continue on the path of martial arts. Tomorrow morning, I will leave Chang City alone. You don't need to see me off, so as not to be discovered by He Mountain Dao's spies."

"Alright, I hope you'll be careful, Junior Brother Lin."

With that, Ling Yao left. There was no conversation that night. The next day, as soon as the sky began to brighten, Lin Fei opened his eyes. In fact, now that Lin Fei had advanced to the innate realm, his energy had become even more vigorous. He only needed about four hours of deep sleep each day.

The rest of the time, he hardly needed to rest at all. Moreover, Lin Fei faintly discovered that once he reached the innate realm, his body seemed to be undergoing some subtle changes at all times.

His True Intention Scroll absorbed the Spiritual Qi of the heavens and the earth, transforming it into Saber Qi. More than 99% of this Saber Qi was stored, but there was still a tiny bit of Saber Qi, slowly merging into his body's blood, muscles, and skin. In the long run, Lin Fei's body would undergo tremendous changes.

"Perhaps, the bodies of innate martial artists are slowly metamorphosing. It's just not very noticeable, only when the body has metamorphosed to a certain extent at the innate great perfection stage will it stop. Then they will attempt to build the foundation of martial arts, achieve Martial Saint, and completely transform. Without the changes brought about by Innate True Qi during the innate realm, it would probably be impossible to succeed in building the foundation."

A flash of insight crossed Lin Fei's mind. Perhaps, the reason why many innate martial artists fail to build their foundation was because their bodies haven't been "remodeled" enough. However, this was just Lin Fei's speculation. There must be many other factors in building the foundation of martial arts.

"Your martial arts skill, True Intention Scroll, has been practicing diligently all night due to the pressure of saber intent, and its progress has increased by 1%."

The system's voice echoed in Lin Fei's mind.

"In one night, the True Intention Scroll only increased by 1%. That is to say, in a whole day, the progress of the True Intention Scroll's practice may only increase by 2%. But it wasn't this slow when I was in the Ascending Dragon Room. Perhaps, it's because of the spiritual qi..."

Lin Fei furrowed his brow. The slow progress of the True Intention Scroll was something he hadn't anticipated. Because, based on his previous experience, when he first started practicing martial arts, he generally made rapid progress. The True Intention Scroll seemed to be lagging behind. The cultivation speed was very slow. Of course, this could not be blamed on the True Intention Scroll.

Under the "encouragement" of saber intent. The True Intention Scroll was definitely putting in its best effort to practice. But the practice results were still unsatisfactory.

There might be only one reason.

Spiritual Qi!

After all, Saber Qi was derived from the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

"The biggest difference between innate martial artists and acquired or body refining martial artists is probably that innate martial artists have requirements for their environment. They need a place with dense Spiritual Qi to practice faster."

However, this wouldn't pose a problem for Lin Fei. As long as he returned to the Nine Profound Sect, he believed that the Spiritual Qi on the mountain of the Nine Profound Sect would be abundant.

Moreover, Lin Miao was now at the Nine Profound Sect. At worst, he could ask Lin Miao to set up some formations to gather Spiritual Qi. That would certainly be enough for the practice of the True Intention Scroll.

After a night's time, the True Intention Scroll could still improve slowly. But saber intent didn't seem to be so easy. Even if the True Intention Scroll could drive the practice of saber intent, It would only be possible to boost saber intent if the True Intention Scroll had a significant increase. Otherwise, saber intent would still need to be honed or experienced sudden insight to continue improving.

"It's time to leave."

Lin Fei glanced at South King Mansion. Then, without alerting anyone, he rode a fast horse and quickly left Chang City.

When Lin Fei left the city gate, he used Princess Ling Yao's token. One of the soldiers guarding the city gazed at Lin Fei's retreating figure, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

"Lin Fei has left Chang City, inform the Immortal Master."

He Mountain Dao's spies had infiltrated the ranks of the city gate guards. So, no matter when Lin Fei left Chang City, he couldn't escape the eyes of He Mountain Dao!
