On Ancestral Master Peak, Lin Fei stood once again beneath the stele. The turmoil of the Nine Profound Sect did not disturb Lin Fei.
There was only Lin Fei at the peak. Lin Miao, after setting up the Spirit Gathering Formations, left Ancestral Master Peak.
On the entire Ancestral Master Peak, a total of ten Spirit Gathering Formations were set up. Hence, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth was very abundant. It almost gathered all the spiritual qi of the Nine Profound Sect.
Lin Fei did not immediately start the foundation establishment. Instead, he quietly looked at this stele. He seemed to see in a trance that the founder of the Nine Profound Sect, under this stele, was lonely and desolate and eventually died in meditation.
The founder of the Nine Profound Sect was unable to build a foundation to become a Martial Saint leaving behind this stele. This was the regret of the founder of the Nine Profound Sect.
"Founder, your disciple will not leave any regrets!" Lin Fei said, sitting cross-legged in front of the stele.
"Let's begin..."
Lin Fei's spirit quickly immersed within his body.
True Intention Scroll!
Lin Fei rarely operated the True Intention Scroll. In general, the True Intention Scroll would operate automatically. But now, Lin Fei actively operated the True Intention Scroll.
"Hum."
The next moment, a massive amount of spiritual qi from heaven and earth surged into his meridians from the Ren and Du meridians, also known as the bridge of heaven and earth.
A large amount of spiritual qi from heaven and earth was crazily trying to transform into Innate True Qi. This process was very smooth.
Lin Fei's saber intent merged again with the Innate True Qi, transforming into Saber Qi. This was also very smooth.
In the past, Lin Fei's body had already reached its limit. Therefore, no matter how much spiritual qi he absorbed, no matter how much it transformed into Saber Qi, it couldn't increase the Saber Qi in his body by a fraction.
But now it was different. Lin Fei's fleshly body has reached perfection. His body underwent a complete transformation. Therefore, both the meridians and the limit of the body have been further enhanced. So, the Saber Qi in Lin Fei's body could still continue to increase.
Lin Fei did not rashly attempt the foundation establishment. Instead, he first raised everything within his body to the peak limit.
Time passed bit by bit. Several hours later, the Saber Qi in Lin Fei's body had increased by about another thirty percent.
With Lin Fei's current volume of Saber Qi, an increase of thirty percent was extremely terrifying.
For instance, if Lin Fei now fully utilized his Saber Qi, the condensed saber energy would likely not just be one thousand meters but closer to one thousand and five hundred meters!
Of course, that was not important. Without foundation establishment, there could never be immortality. A hundred years later, it was all just a handful of dust.
Whether it was a martial foundation establishment or an immortal foundation establishment, they were all for the purpose of achieving immortality.
Lin Fei never forgot his goal of practicing martial arts.
Immortality!
Martial arts started simple but become increasingly difficult. In comparison, immortal cultivation was tough from the beginning. After all, immortal cultivation required talent. Without talent, there's no point in discussing it.
Martial arts and immortal cultivation each had their own advantages and disadvantages.
For example, Qi cultivators could initially overpower martial artists. However, there were far fewer Qi cultivators than martial artists. And not everyone could become a Qi cultivator. Talent selection had already eliminated over ninety percent of people.

While martial artists, although initially far inferior to Qi cultivators, had the advantage of sheer numbers. No matter who, regardless of talent, could practice martial arts. Numbers were the greatest advantage of martial arts.
However, whether it was martial arts or immortal cultivation, once foundation establishment was achieved, everything became "equal".
Immortal foundation establishment results in becoming a True Person, transcending the mundane, and being above others! Martial foundation establishment results in becoming a Martial Saint, beyond the ordinary with immeasurable divine abilities!
Thus, different paths lead to the same goal. Martial arts and immortal cultivation, once foundation establishment was achieved, starting from the same line.
And, the lifespan would range from three hundred to five hundred years. As Lin Fei's Saber Qi within his body reached its limit and could no longer increase, Lin Fei began compressing his Saber Qi.
He used his saber intent, bit by bit, continuously compressed his Saber Qi. Lin Fei's Saber Qi was already very strong. Now that he wanted to compress it, the difficulty was naturally higher.
However, Lin Fei was not in a hurry. He compressed it bit by bit. Each time, he compressed only a little bit of Saber Qi.
For example, Lin Fei was now compressing about one percent of his Saber Qi. With such a small amount of Saber Qi, Lin Fei's saber intent could forcefully suppress it.
As time passed bit by bit. A wisp of Saber Qi was compressed to one-tenth of its original size. Yet, it was still Saber Qi. The more it was compressed, the harder it was to compress towards the end.
For instance, after a wisp of Saber Qi was reduced to one-tenth of its original size, it became very difficult to compress. One needed to withstand a huge backlash.
Moreover, during this compression process, Lin Fei's meridians would also be severely impacted. If his physical body hadn't reached perfection, undergone a complete transformation, and had his meridians strengthened countless times, even this slight compression of Saber Qi could have irreversible effects on his meridians.
This was just the beginning of the foundation establishment and the pressure on the meridians had been so great. If the physical body wasn't perfect, how could one build the foundation?
Lin Fei compressed a wisp of Saber Qi down to one-tenth of its original size, however, no True Essence was born. But Lin Fei was not discouraged at all. Instead, he was very patient, continuing to compress this wisp of Saber Qi bit by bit.
One-twentieth, one-thirtieth, one-fortieth, one-fiftieth...
He didn't know how long it had passed. When Lin Fei felt that this wisp of Saber Qi had been compressed to about one percent of its original size even the wisp of Saber Qi had almost become invisible, at this moment, there was a slight tremor in Lin Fei's meridians. Immediately following, that wisp of Saber Qi actually made a "ding" sound in his meridians.
"Is this... the sound of a water droplet?"
Lin Fei focused his mind. Suddenly, he saw it. In his Dantian, there was faintly a droplet, crystal clear, about the size of a hair.
This droplet was really too small, it was almost imperceptible. Only Lin Fei's perception could sense this droplet.
However, this one droplet made Lin Fei incredibly excited.
Because this was liquid Saber Qi! When Saber Qi became liquid, it transformed from Saber Qi into Saber Essence.
This was stronger than the True Essence of ordinary Martial Saints. Because within the Saber Essence, Lin Fei's perfection-level saber intent was contained!
With the first droplet of Saber Essence, there would definitely be a second droplet of Saber Essence.
So, Lin Fei continued to compress Saber Qi. Gradually, the second droplet of Saber Essence was born.
The third droplet, the fourth droplet, the fifth droplet, the sixth droplet, the seventh droplet, the eighth droplet...
Each droplet of Saber Essence was crystal clear and looked beautiful. When countless droplets of Saber Essence came together, they formed a stream.
When the quantity of Saber Essence surpassed that of Saber Qi, the Saber Essence began to devour the remaining Saber Qi. Countless Saber Qi were devoured by the Saber Essence.
Suddenly, the amount of Saber Essence within Lin Fei's body surged. Moreover, during the process of devouring, the Saber Essence faintly formed a vortex. Not only devouring Saber Qi but also devouring the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.
"Boom."
The entire Spiritual Qi of the Ancestral Master Peak seemed to shake. Countless martial artists paying attention to the Ancestral Master Peak at this moment felt a slight abnormality.
However, the acquired martial artists didn't know what was happening.
Only the three Martial Masters of the Nine Profound Sect could see the giant Spiritual Qi vortex forming in the sky above the Ancestral Master Peak.
Countless Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth were being devoured by the giant Spiritual Qi vortex. Not only did it involve the Nine Profound Sect, but it also drew in the elemental energy of the heavens and earth for miles around, which was rushing madly towards the peak.
"What a terrifying vortex, it can actually devour so much Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth."
"Even a hundred Martial Masters couldn't absorb so much Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth."
"It seems that Elder Lin is about to succeed!"
The three Grand Elders all looked serious, staring fixedly at the situation on Ancestral Master Peak.
Although there was a great commotion, the larger the commotion, the more settled they felt in their hearts.
Building the foundation to become a Martial Saint was a breakthrough in bodily shackles, an upgrade of life. As the condensers of Qi put it, it was seizing the natural resources of heaven and earth, reversing Yin and Yang, and breaching life and death.
How could there be no commotion?
No one dared to disturb Lin Fei, they could only wait quietly at the foot of the peak.
