"Disciple, you are right, Yuan Gangzi deserved his death. Since Yuan Gangzi is dead, let it be. Guardian Primordial Mountain is indeed stronger than He Mountain Dao. However, with the imperial family suppressing the world, at least in recent years, they dare not do anything," Zhao Kongming said coldly.

Lin Fei raised his head, looked at Zhao Kongming, and calmly asked, "Master, there is something I don't understand, and I would like to ask for your guidance."

"Speak."

"Those immortal sects seem to be getting more and more unscrupulous. But they haven't caused any large-scale incidents. It's as if they are waiting for something. What exactly are they waiting for?"

Lin Fei had always been puzzled. Logically speaking, the Great Chang dynasty suppressed the world. Now that the world was unstable, the imperial family was weak and unable to control the local areas. It should be the time for these immortal sects to "be active". But although they were somewhat unscrupulous, they were also somewhat restrained. This seems contradictory.

Zhao Kongming's eyes were deep, and he sneered, "They are waiting for the imperial family's Supreme Elder to pass away! The world's instability is indeed due to the imperial family's poor governance and the corruption and degeneration of the court. However, the key point is that the imperial family's Supreme Elder is not far from his life limit.

Although the Supreme Elder is not as powerful as the Great Chang founder who could suppress the world, be invincible, and dominate everywhere, he is still an extraordinary cultivator, a top-tier Foundation Establishment expert.

It is precisely because of this imperial Supreme Elder that the Great Chang dynasty was able to revive. Otherwise, the Great Chang dynasty would have disintegrated long ago. Those immortal sects are now so active, yet they remain polite. They are actually fearing that imperial Supreme Elder.

Once the imperial's Supreme Elder passes away, it will probably be the time for chaos in the world and the disintegration of the Great Chang dynasty..."

Zhao Kongming, as an elderly martial artist, could see the situation very clearly. The current Great Chang seemed calm, but in fact, it had long been filled with undercurrents.

Once the imperial Supreme Elder passed away, the world would undoubtedly fall into chaos. Now those immortal sects were actually withholding. This time they probably won't mobilize a large force.

Even if Lin Fei just killed Yuan Gangzi, Guardian Primordial Mountain wouldn't be furious and they won't come to Nine Profound Sect to capture people. Because they are focused on the "big picture" and waiting for the imperial Supreme Elder to pass away.

Once the imperial Supreme Elder passes away, whether it's He Mountain Dao or Guardian Primordial Mountain, it probably won't be so easy to deal with. At that time, the immortal sects would surely rise. Perhaps, Nine Profound Sect would be in trouble!

Lin Fei's expression became serious. He understood everything. That is to say, even if He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain really gave birth to Foundation Establishment experts, they most likely won't do anything to the Nine Profound Sect.

The imperial Supreme Elder was like the anchor for the entire Great Chang. As long as the Supreme Elder didn't encounter any accidents, no matter how turbulent the world was, it would always remain an undercurrent.

But once the Supreme Elder dies, those immortal sects will raise their banners and return to the world, completely controlling the secular power of the world.

Such things have happened before. Before the establishment of the Great Chang, it was like this. Immortal sects controlled the entire world. Various forces fought, and the people suffered. Finally, the Great Chang founder emerged, with the supreme power of a Martial Saint, sweeping across the world, establishing the Great Chang dynasty, only then could the world enjoy 900 years of peace.

"However, disciple, you don't need to worry. If you can reach innate perfection and become a grandmaster, even if you can't compare to the founder, you won't be far behind. By then, even if the world is in chaos, you can still protect the Nine Profound Sect."

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

Zhao Kongming looked deeply at Lin Fei. The reason why the Nine Profound Sect values Lin Fei so much, even giving him everything he wanted and fully supporting him, even if it meant offending some immortal sects, was because they saw the hope of Lin Fei becoming a grandmaster.

At that time, if they want to protect the sect in the chaos of the world. There must be a grandmaster to sit in the town. And Lin Fei is almost the only hope of the Nine Profound Sect.

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely practice hard, strive to become a grandmaster as soon as possible, and live up to the expectations of the sect!" Lin Fei said solemnly.

"Good, I naturally believe in you. You continue to practice here at the Ancestral Master Peak. My sword intent is almost stable."

Zhao Kongming voluntarily gave up his position and left the Ancestral Master Peak.

Lin Fei didn't stand on ceremony. He immediately sat cross-legged under the stone tablet. Now that he knew that the entire world might fall into chaos in the next few years. He had to seize every opportunity to enhance his strength.

"A grandmaster of martial arts can protect the sect? However, my goal is not just to become a master or a grandmaster. What I want is longevity. To enter the Dao through martial arts and step onto the path of longevity..." Lin Fei murmured softly. Then, he closed his eyes.

Time flew by, and two months passed. Every day, Lin Fei practiced on the Ancestral Master Peak, using the saber intent left by the Nine Profound Sect's founder to sharpen his own saber intent.

On this day, Lin Fei was still doing the same thing as usual. He stimulated his own saber intent, hoping to trigger the saber intent on the stone tablet so that he could continue to sharpen his saber intent. However, an unexpected change occurred.

"Crack."

A soft sound. The stone tablet cracked!

Lin Fei opened his eyes. His gaze instantly fell on the stone tablet in front of him.

A crack had appeared on the tablet. Although the crack was small and subtle. If he didn't look closely, Lin Fei wouldn't even notice it. But, a crack is still a crack. This meant that there was a problem with the stone tablet.

But this stone tablet had been exposed to wind and rain on the Ancestral Master Peak for 900 years. There were no cracks before and it had only been slightly weathered but not seriously. How did it suddenly crack?

Lin Fei looked at the stone tablet in front of him. He sensed Martial Dao True Intent within the tablet. Suddenly, Lin Fei understood.

"It's Martial Dao True Intent! The Martial Dao True Intent left by the founder is in the perfection realm. Three strands of Martial Dao True Intent, for a full 900 years, had already merged with the stone tablet. But as I constantly stimulated the Martial Dao True Intent within the stone tablet to sharpen my own Martial Dao True Intent.

Over time, the Martial Dao True Intent within the tablet would naturally be consumed. And now, with excessive consumption, the Martial Dao True Intent is about to disappear. Once the Martial Dao True Intent disappears, this stone tablet will quickly become an ordinary tablet, rapidly weathering and cracking, eventually collapsing."

Lin Fei fell silent. He knew he couldn't continue. After all, this stone tablet was left behind by the founder and it still contained Martial Dao True Intent. He couldn't destroy it completely.

"System."

Lin Fei summoned the system to check his martial arts progress.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Innate Martial Artist

Master: Mid-stage

True Intention Scroll: Mid-stage (92% Progress)

Saber Intent: Mastery (96% Progress)

Fist Intent: Mastery (51% Progress)

Heavenly Saber Art: Transcendence (0% Progress)

Immeasurable Fist: Transcendence (0% Progress)

Close Yet Distant: Transcendence (0% Progress)

Lin Fei's True Intention Scroll had reached 92% progress. This was actually quite good. After reaching the mid-stage of Master, the cultivation speed of the True Intention Scroll had drastically reduced. Reaching 92% was thanks to the improvement of saber intent.

The progress of saber intent had reached 96%. The growth was not huge. But it was already close to breaking through. Once it broke through, it would be saber intent transcendence and Lin Fei's strength could increase by several times or even more than ten times. Heavenly Saber Art had also reached transcendence, and the Tyrant Saber could be condensed.

The Tyrant Saber was much more powerful than the Fierce Saber. Once the Tyrant Saber was released, its terrifying aura would not only affect saber wielders, even martial artists and Qi cultivators would be suppressed by the Tyrant Saber.

Immeasurable Fist and Close Yet Distant had both reached transcendence. However, after these three martial arts reached transcendence, there was no more progress. It seemed that reaching perfection still required some opportunities.

Lin Fei knew that the higher the martial arts and the more profound they were, the more difficult it was to cultivate them to perfection. This had nothing to do with the martial artist's efforts. To achieve perfection, one must rely on some opportunities.

"The Martial Dao True Intent on the Ancestral Master Peak can no longer be used. I must find a place to sharpen my saber intent and strive to make it reach transcendence. Where in the world can I find a place to sharpen my saber intent?"

A name flashed through Lin Fei's mind.
