"Master, sect master."

Lin Fei stepped into the void, descending from the air. He carried an aura of faint oppression. It was as if it came from the soul, causing an unconscious pressure.

This was the pressure of life level. Upon foundation building, the life level is different. Building a foundation was transcending the ordinary, completely different from ordinary life.

"Lin Fei, have you successfully built the foundation?"

Even though everyone had their suspicions. They still wanted to hear it from Lin Fei himself.

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Master, your disciple has been successful in building the foundation and achieving the status of a Martial Saint!"

As Lin Fei's words fell, everyone's mind seemed to go blank. Excitement, jubilation, and a hint of complexity in their eyes. Various emotions churned in their hearts.

A Martial Saint!

This was a realm that countless martial artists dream of. Even the founder of the Nine Profound Sect had not taken this step. But now, Lin Fei had become a Martial Saint. This had surpassed the founder and surpassed all the predecessors of the Nine Profound Sect.

"It's the fortune of our Nine Profound Sect!"

Zhao Kongming was very excited, and so were the others. A Martial Saint's life span ranged from three hundred to five hundred years. And now, Lin Fei was still very young. Not even twenty years old.

With Lin Fei stationed at the Nine Profound Sect, the Nine Profound Sect would have a prosperous period of hundreds of years. At that time, what would the Nine Profound Sect develop into? The Grand Elders could hardly imagine.

"What's the reaction of He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain?"

Lin Fei asked calmly. He hadn't forgotten that Guardian Primordial Mountain and He Mountain Dao, these two immortal sects had attacked the Nine Profound Sect, even planning to annihilate the entire Nine Profound Sect!

"Elder Lin. He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain have made no move, which seems strange," The sect master said, frowning.

"It's not strange that He Mountain Dao has made no move. With He Yuanzi carrying the precious Mountain River Seal, it is almost the strongest force He Mountain Dao can put forth. But He Yuanzi is no match for me, He Mountain Dao has to swallow their anger! They are helpless. But it should not be the case that Guardian Primordial Mountain is silent because they are helpless.

I'm afraid the Qi Condensation perfection elder of Guardian Primordial Mountain is building his foundation. Guardian Primordial Mountain probably wants to wait for the elder to successfully build his foundation before personally taking action against our Nine Profound Sect."

Lin Fei said calmly. In just a few words, he analyzed the situation and intentions of He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain.

"Elder Lin, what do you plan to do?" The sect master asked.

Since Lin Fei said so. He must have a plan.

"Wait! He Mountain Dao, Guardian Primordial Mountain, these immortal sects with thousands of years of heritage, even the founding Emperor of the Great Chang, who swept all directions and suppressed the world, could not break the gates of these immortal sects.

This shows that these immortal sects have large formations guarding them, and even powerful magic treasures suppressing them that even a Martial Saint would find it hard to break through.

Yet, having suffered such a tremendous loss, the Guardian Primordial Mountain will not rest. Once the elders of the Guardian Primordial Mountain attain the perfection of Qi condensation and successfully establish their foundation, they will undoubtedly seek retribution.

More likely than not, the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Guardian Primordial Mountain will personally descend from the mountain to annihilate the Nine Profound Sect! This is my opportunity.

I may not be able to breach the mountain gates of those immortal sects, but who says I can't cut down a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Hence, the news of my successful Foundation Establishment and attainment of the Martial Saint status must be immediately sealed, and no information shall be divulged. Then, we shall quietly await the arrival of the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Guardian Primordial Mountain."

Lin Fei spoke calmly. Yet, within the hearts of Zhao Kongming, the Sect Master, and others, a storm of astonishment surged. Lin Fei's words were spoken with a tranquil demeanor, seemingly ordinary. But the content was far from it.

What does Lin Fei want to do?

He aimed to cut down a Foundation Establishment cultivator! Even as a Martial Saint, one cannot casually claim to be able to do so, can they?

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

If Foundation Establishment cultivators were so easily slain, the founding emperor of the beginning could have eradicated all Foundation Establishment cultivators in the past.

Yet, in truth, Foundation Establishment cultivators might not rival Martial Saints, but slaying a Foundation Establishment cultivator was a challenging task.

Furthermore, Lin Fei had only just attained Martial Saint status. How dare he make such bold claims of slaying a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

"Elder Lin, you have just established your foundation to become a Martial Saint. If you are not confident, perhaps it would be better to tread more cautiously..."

The Sect Master subtly reminded Lin Fei, that lest the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Guardian Primordial Mountain truly arrives, only for Lin Fei had to prove not up to the challenge. That would pose a significant problem.

"Sect Master, I am well aware of the situation. In recent times, the Nine Profound Sect should refrain from any action. We merely have to wait!" Lin Fei spoke indifferently.

"We shall abide by Elder Lin's orders!" The Sect Master responded with reverence.

Now, Lin Fei was more than just a Grand Elder. He was also the first Martial Saint in the history of the Nine Profound Sect! Lin Fei's words were law within the Nine Profound Sect. He, as the Sect Master, dare not defy them.

"Master, fellow elders, I need to return to Ancestral Master Peak to consolidate my cultivation and prepare for a battle against the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Guardian Primordial Mountain. So, forgive me I shall not linger here."

After speaking, Lin Fei turned around, Step by step, he traversed the void, returning to the Ancestral Master Peak, he vanished without a trace.

"Martial Saint..."

The Sect Master murmured under his breath, his spirit greatly composed.

"Fellows, our Nine Profound Sect is on the cusp of a prosperous era spanning several centuries. This is indeed our Nine Profound Sect's great fortune!

However, we must first resolve the issue with the Guardian Primordial Mountain. As Elder Lin suggested, we must lure the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Guardian Primordial Mountain to the Nine Profound Sect.

Since Elder Lin has attained the Martial Saint status, let's solidify his name with the fresh blood of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

The Sect Master's eyes also held a flicker of fiery fervor.

Slaying a Foundation Establishment! Should Lin Fei truly achieve this feat, his prestige would undeniably skyrocket. The Nine Profound Sect would likewise gain renown throughout the world!

In these chaotic times, nothing was more shocking to the heart than the slaying of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

...

Within the secret chamber of the Guardian Primordial Mountain.

"Hum."

Suddenly, a rich whirlpool of Spiritual Qi materialized in the air above the secret chamber. Moreover, this vortex was gushing forth copious amounts of Qi from the heavens. Even the grand Spiritual Qi gathering array surrounding the entire secret chamber began fervently accumulating Spiritual Qi.

The commotion was considerable. All the Qi condensation cultivators could see the enormous whirlpool of Spiritual Qi in the void. They all knew that direction was where the Grand Elder secluded himself, striving to establish his foundation.

"He's succeeded, he must have succeeded!"

"The Grand Elder is about to successfully establish his foundation."

"Hahaha, finally, our Guardian Primordial Mountain will witness the birth of another Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Many Qi Condensation cultivators of the Guardian Primordial Mountain were all tremendously excited. Especially the high-level and top-tier Qi Condensation cultivators were well aware of what the birth of a Foundation Establishment cultivator signifies.

The Guardian Primordial Mountain was a thousand-year-old immortal sect. In its history, several Foundation Establishment cultivators have been born. Only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, possessed the qualification to seize sufficient benefits in these turbulent times, ensuring the prosperity of the Guardian Primordial Mountain for hundreds if not thousands of years!

The Spiritual Qi vortex in the sky lasted for three full hours.

"Boom."

The next moment, a terrifying surge of spiritual power shot skywards. The Spiritual Qi vortex in the void was instantaneously scattered.

"Rumble."

The stone door of the secret chamber opened. The Grand Elder of the Guardian Primordial Mountain slowly emerged. His gaze swept across, exuding an invisible pressure from his body, causing many Qi condensation cultivators to avert their eyes.

"Congratulations, Grand Elder, on successfully establishing your foundation and attaining the title of True Person!"

For a time, countless Qi Condensation cultivators knelt on the ground, offering their congratulations to the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder's face showed neither joy nor sorrow but appeared very calm. He calmly stated, "Today, I have achieved true enlightenment, becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I shall shelter the Guardian Primordial Mountain for hundreds of years. Where are Yuan Xingzi and Yuan Chenzi?"

The Grand Elder asked indifferently. However, there was no response from below.

"Hmm? Sect Master, where are Yuan Xingzi and Yuan Chenzi?"

The Grand Elder's face fell, his gaze fixed intently on the Sect Master. The Sect Master felt immense pressure. The Grand Elder had successfully established his foundation. Just a single look made him feel somewhat unbearable.

The Sect Master hurriedly reported, "Elder, Yuan Xingzi and Yuan Chenzi took the two treasures 'Heavenly Thunder' and 'Earthly Evil' to the Nine Profound Sect to slay Lin Fei.

However, it seems something went wrong. Both of them have not returned yet. Moreover, I also heard that He Mountain Dao had Heyuanzi with the 'Mountain River Seal' to the Nine Profound Sect, who also has not returned. I'm afraid the odds are not in our favor."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder became furious.

"Yuan Xingzi and Yuan Chenzi, carrying two of Guardian Primordial Mountain's magic treasures, could they actually fail? Does that Nine Profound Sect have a Martial Saint? Or did the founder of the Nine Profound Sect leave something behind for the Nine Profound Sect?"

The Grand Elder was aware of the prestige of the Founder of the Nine Profound Sect. However, no one below responded. They dared not respond. If they were to anger the Grand Elder, it would lead to big trouble.

"Forget it, since I have established my foundation, it's time for the world to know the prestige of Guardian Primordial Mountain! Now the world is in chaos, the time for Immortal Sects to take over the secular world has come.

Only by spreading the fame of Guardian Primordial Mountain can we gain enough benefits in this chaos. I will personally go down the mountain to flatten the Nine Profound Sect and spread the fame of Guardian Primordial Mountain!"

"May we follow the Grand Elder's decree!"

A group of Qi Condensation cultivators were very excited. The Grand Elder was going down the mountain. How could the Nine Profound Sect not be destroyed with a Foundation Establishment cultivator coming in person?

Finally, Guardian Primordial Mountain could flatten the Nine Profound Sect to declare to the world the prestige of Guardian Primordial Mountain!
