Chang City, the Imperial Palace Garden.
At this moment, outside the garden, many martial artists and Qi cultivators had already knelt down. There was even a middle-aged man in dragon robes. He was the Emperor of Great Chang.
But now, this supreme sovereign actually knelt down in the garden. Behind him were Qi cultivators, martial artists, princes, etc. All were the core of the royal family.
"Ancestor, what will we do when you're gone?"
"Yes, Ancestor. Now the world is filled with the smoke of war, the situation is shaking, I'm afraid our Great Chang's nine hundred years of reign is in danger!"
"Ancestor..."
These people all knelt down in the garden. This was because the royal family's Supreme Elder had informed the emperor and others tonight was the time when his lifespan would come to an end.
The Supreme Elder, at this moment, was already full of silver hair. Even his originally rosy face, at this time, gradually became pale. He was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the garden.
Looking at the descendants who had knelt down in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said, "When I was born, the Great Chang was already shaking. It was me, who built the foundation and became a True Person. I continued the fate of Great Chang for more than four hundred years!
But, after four hundred years, even if I'm a Foundation Establishment True Person, I also have a lifespan. Great Chang has been established for nine hundred years, which is long enough. Even the founding emperor said that descendants will have their own blessings.
Wishing for the reign to last forever is impossible. After my death, those immortal sects will surely cause trouble. If you want to keep Great Chang, with your abilities, I'm afraid it's impossible.
So, let nature take its course, even the strongest dynasty has its day of collapse. It's a pity that I don't have the courage of the first emperor, daring to go out to sea alone in search of the Dao. Now, it's too late to regret..."
After speaking, the royal family's Supreme Elder slowly closed his eyes. Then, he gradually lowered his head. The last trace of vitality in his body was completely cut off.
"Ancestor..."
Seeing this scene, everyone knew the ancestor was dead! The sky of the royal family collapsed! From now on, the royal family of Great Chang no longer had a Foundation Establishment True Person to suppress the world. The entire world, collapsing and disintegrating, may only be a matter of time.
With the passing of the royal family's Supreme Elder, the array that originally covered the entire palace gradually disappeared. The array of this palace was always maintained by the Supreme Elder. Without the Supreme Elder, other Qi cultivators of the royal family, even if they were top-notch Qi cultivators, would not expect to maintain it.
The Emperor still wanted to keep it a secret. However, the array of the palace disappeared. This could not be kept secret.
Moreover, in today's Chang City, there are various immortal sects and factions. Openly and secretly.
How many spies were there? How could the death of the royal Supreme Elder be concealed? For a time, the spies of various forces quickly spread the news.
In the main hall of Guardian Primordial Mountain. The Grand Elder, who had reached the perfection of the twelfth level of Qi Condensation, had just received the news. His gaze swept over, and with a hint of excitement in his eyes, he slowly said, "I just received the news, the old man of the royal family has passed away!"
This news immediately exploded the entire hall.
"What, the royal supreme elder is dead?"
"He lived for a full five hundred years and suppressed the world for hundreds of years."
"The royal supreme elder is finally dead, the mountain pressing on our immortal sects has finally disappeared."
"Hahaha, I'm afraid the prosperous age of our immortal sects is coming!"
Basically, the Qi cultivators in the hall were very excited.
That supreme elder of the royal family was the one who made all the immortal sects gasp for breath. Strictly speaking, he was even more ruthless than the Great Chang Founding Emperor!
After all, not long after the Great Chang Founding Emperor established the Great Chang, it seemed that in less than a hundred years, he went out to sea alone in search of the Dao.
But the royal supreme elder was different. He suppressed the world for more than four hundred years. He also suppressed all the major immortal sects for more than four hundred years.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Now, the royal ancestor was dead. Of course, everyone at Guardian Primordial Mountain was happy.
"Humph."
Suddenly, the Grand Elder at the perfection of the twelfth level of Qi Condensation seemed very dissatisfied. He snorted coldly and the entire hall became quiet.
"I have finally refined another batch of Foundation Establishment Pills, and I will try to build the foundation again soon. This time, there shouldn't be any problems, I should be able to succeed in building the foundation. But there is one thing that bothers me.
That is the death of Yuan Gangzi. The last time he joined forces with the top Qi Condensation cultivators from He Mountain Dao and others was to kill Lin Fei. What's the result? They all died!
If Lin Fei and Nine Profound Sect are not removed, where is the prestige of our Guardian Primordial Mountain? To deal with the Nine Profound Sect, there is no need for me to build the foundation successfully before making a move.
Yuan Xingzi, Yuan Chenzi. You two bring the two magic treasures 'Heavenly Thunder' and 'Earthly Evil' of our sect, go and level the Nine Profound Sect, and kill Lin Fei! I hope to hear the good news of you wiping out the Nine Profound Sect when I finish building the foundation!"
"Yes, Grand Elder!"
So, Yuan Xingzi and Yuan Chenzi immediately went down to get the two treasures. These were the treasured items of Guardian Primordial Mountain!
To be able to be called a magical treasure, it must be of the Foundation Establishment level.
With these two magical treasures, leveling the Nine Profound Sect would be easy. It's also because there was no deterrent from the royal supreme elder, Guardian Primordial Mountain would be so unscrupulous.
Not only Guardian Primordial Mountain. At this moment, He Mountain Dao also received the news from Chang City.
"Hahaha, the old bastard of the royal family is finally dead! We, He Mountain Dao, closed the mountain because of the old bastard. Humph, we have become a laughingstock of the immortal sects, all because of Lin Fei and the Nine Profound Sect.
"He Yuanzi, I command you to take our He Mountain Dao's treasure, the magical treasure Mountain River Seal, to destroy the Nine Profound Sect and kill Lin Fei!"
"Yes, master!"
He Yuanzi took the command and left. He was a top-notch Qi Condensation cultivator of the eleventh level. Plus, he had the Mountain River Seal bestowed by He Mountain Dao. Below the Foundation Establishment level, it was hard to meet an opponent. To kill a mere martial arts Master and destroy the Nine Profound Sect, wasn't that easy?
So, He Yuanzi, with a group of disciples from He Mountain Dao, carrying the magical treasure of the Mountain River Seal, descended the mountain in a grand manner.
......
Bibo River.
The river was calm, with blue water and blue sky. Occasionally, fish would jump out of the water. Lin Fei was standing on the bank at this moment.
"Crossing Bibo River, it's not far from Nine Profound Sect. Bibo River has no ferry, if it was in the past, it would require a detour. But I need to return to the Nine Profound Sect and prepare for the Foundation Establishment as soon as possible. I have to save a little time. It seems that I have to walk on the water directly and cross the Bibo River."
Lin Fei had the ability to walk on water with Saber Qi. Lin Fei had gone to Saber City using Saber Qi to walk on the water. However, that would consume too much Saber Qi.
But at that time, Saber City was not far away. It wouldn't consume too much Saber Qi. But crossing the Bibo River, it's not easy.
But, today's Lin Fei is much different from when he went to Saber City. Now, Lin Fei's Saber Qi had reached great perfection!
What's more important, Lin Fei's physical body had also reached perfection. He was impervious to saber and gun and immune to fire and water.
What's more, those who reached perfection in their physical body could walk on water without sinking!
"Swoosh".
Lin Fei took a step forward. He wanted to see what it was like to walk on water. So, Lin Fei's foot directly stepped on the water's surface.
This time, Lin Fei did not use his Saber Qi. When his feet stepped on the water's surface, a miraculous thing happened.
Lin Fei's legs felt as if they were stepping on soft cotton, they didn't sink. Even Lin Fei was shocked by this.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Soon, Lin Fei was striding forward. On the river surface, he was striding along briskly.
"This...this is walking on water... It's incredible. Once the physical body reaches perfection, it will display all kinds of incredible abilities."
Lin Fei step by step, walked on the water surface. It immediately drew a lot of attention.
Many ignorant people, even started kneeling and praying by the river bank, thinking they had encountered a deity.
Lin Fei shook his head. He couldn't really blame these people for being ignorant. Weren't his current skills the same as the gods in the legends?
"Martial arts can lead to divinity..."
Lin Fei thought of a phrase. It seemed to describe his current state quite aptly. Soon, Lin Fei crossed the Bibo River and arrived at the opposite bank.
At this time, a dozen knights appeared on the opposite bank. Each one of them looked at Lin Fei, their faces showing a trace of astonishment.
After all, Lin Fei crossed the river as if he was strolling in a courtyard. This was extremely shocking for anyone.
However, the leader still asked loudly, "May I ask if you are 'Immortal Slayer Saber' Master Lin Fei?"
"Hmm? You know me?"
Lin Fei looked at their attire. He knew they were people from the Great Chang court.
"Master Lin, we are the secret guards of the South King Mansion. Ordered by the princess, we came to wait for you near the Nine Profound Sect. Here is a letter from the princess. Master Lin Fei will know once you see it."
Then, these secret guards respectfully handed over a letter to Lin Fei. Lin Fei opened it and read it. The letter was indeed written by Princess Ling Yao. There was only one simple sentence on it.
"The Supreme Elder is dead, Nine Profound Sect is in danger, leave quickly!"
Few words, but they contained a lot of information.
"Swoosh".
Lin Fei suddenly raised his head.
"Nine Profound Sect is in danger! Tell me, what happened to Nine Profound Sect?"
Lin Fei's eyes were fixed on these secret guards. Since they were stationed at the foot of the Nine Profound Sect, they must know what happened to the Nine Profound Sect.
"Master Lin Fei, Qi cultivator disciples from He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain, carrying the treasures of their sects, are rushing towards Nine Profound Sect. If you go back to Nine Profound Sect now, I'm afraid..."
The secret guard didn't finish his sentence. Obviously, going back to Nine Profound Sect now was not a wise choice.
"He Mountain Dao, Guardian Primordial Mountain. I'll go up the mountain and wait for them!"
In the next moment, Lin Fei's saber energy exploded. The entire person, like a phantom, instantly burst out dozens of meters, rushing towards Nine Profound Sect.
