Inside his cave dwelling, Lin Fei sat alone on the ground.

"System."

Lin Fei called up the system panel. He checked his martial arts.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Early Martial Saint

Saber Momentum: Beginner (Progress 0%)

Fist Intent: Mastery (Progress 81%)

Immeasurable Fist: Transcendence (Progress 50%)

Close Yet Distant: Transcendence (Progress 0%)

In these few days, Lin Fei's fame spread throughout Great Chang. However, Lin Fei's martial arts had not improved at all. The progress of saber momentum remains at 0. No matter how many saber techniques Lin Fei integrated, they had no effect at all.

As for the martial arts realm, it was still in the early stage of Martial Saint. He didn't have the cultivation method of Martial Saint and could only rely on the saber essence accumulating little by little on his own.

The speed was too slow. At this rate, Lin Fei was afraid it would take hundreds of years to reach the middle stage of Martial Saint. That is to say, Lin Fei was truly stuck in a bottleneck now. It's not that he didn't work hard on his martial arts, but there's no way.

"According to the supreme elder from the royal family, back then, the founder of Great Chang, swept all directions, suppressed the immortal sects of the world, and established Great Chang. He didn't die of old age. He chose to leave Great Chang. Where he went, no one knows. Maybe he went out to sea. Maybe he disappeared to the south. Or even went to the north..."

Lin Fei murmured quietly. The more he knew, the more Lin Fei understood the feelings of the founder of Great Chang back then.

Probably, the situation of the founder of Great Chang back then was not much different from Lin Fei's situation now. He had become a Martial Saint and even comprehended saber momentum, sweeping invincibly, suppressing the world.

But what use was it? He couldn't make any more progress.

In Great Chang, this is the pinnacle of martial arts!

So, the founder of Great Chang didn't even want to be the emperor. He resolutely left Great Chang. Perhaps, he went to find the Dao. Martial arts is also a Dao! The founder of Great Chang might have gone to seek a stronger martial Dao.

However, no one knew whether the founder of Great Chang succeeded or not, whether he was alive or dead. After all, it has been nine hundred years. If the founder of Great Chang couldn't make any further progress in martial arts, he probably would have reached his life limit and died a long time ago. After all, Martial Saints just have a lifespan of five hundred years.

Lin Fei closed his eyes. The idea of leaving had already formed in his mind.

However, how to leave? And where to go? What would happen to the Nine Profound Sect after he left? What about his family? What about the situation in the world?

All of these matters need to be dealt with. However, of all these matters, actually, the most important and crucial thing was only one, the immortal sects!

If the immortal sects were not handled well, even if Lin Fei wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to nor would he be at ease.

Back then, the founder of Great Chang suppressed the world and made all the major immortal sects seal their mountains. He probably had the same worries as Lin Fei does now. That is, he was wary of the immortal sects.

"The immortal sects are not all the same. What really left the founder of Great Chang helpless were actually only the top ten immortal sects. He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain are two of the top ten immortal sects. These immortal sects have a heritage of over a thousand years.

The mountain-protecting formation is guarded by powerful magic treasures. Even the founder of Great Chang back then couldn't break the mountain-protecting formation of those immortal sects. So, he couldn't truly sweep the immortal sects completely. He could only use another method to suppress the immortal sects to prevent them from causing trouble in a short period of time."

Lin Fei thought for a while. He probably could only use this method as well.

Among the top ten immortal sects, not everyone had a Foundation Establishment True Person. For example, He Mountain Dao did not. Although Guardian Primordial Mountain gave birth to a Foundation Establishment True Person, he was cut down by Lin Fei's saber. Therefore, it didn't have one either. Then, only the remaining eight major immortal sects were left.

"If the Foundation Establishment stages of the eight major immortal sects are all killed. Even if I can't break the gates of those immortal sects, at least I can make them dormant for several decades or even hundreds of years. By then, it should be enough time for me to go out and seek the Dao."

Lin Fei had a vague plan in his heart.

However, it would be very difficult to completely kill the Foundation Establishment stages of the eight major immortal sects.

However, now there was an opportunity. Lin Fei had destroyed the Water Moon Sect and the Fairy Crane Sect. This would certainly shake those immortal sects.

Now, the eight major immortal sects were quiet. But Lin Fei knew they were brewing a major event that would shake the world. Once the eight major immortal sects made a move, it would definitely not be a small matter.

Moreover, the eight major immortal sects were most likely to target Lin Fei. Unless the eight major immortal sects wanted to be like them during the time of the founder of Great Chang, being suppressed by the founder of Great Chang to the point of sealing their mountains. Otherwise, the immortal sects would definitely try to eliminate Lin Fei.

What Lin Fei was facing next might be eight, or even ten Foundation Establishment cultivators! After all, who said there could only be one Foundation Establishment stage in the immortal sects? Those immortal sects had been in seclusion for hundreds of years. How many Foundation Establishment True Persons have been born?

If Lin Fei faced them alone, this battle would indeed be very difficult! To face eight or even ten Foundation Establishment True Persons, even if Lin Fei was a Martial Saint, and has even comprehended the saber momentum, those Foundation Establishment True Persons also had powerful magic treasures passed down from the immortal sects a thousand years ago.

"However, I am not alone..."

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Lin Fei's mouth. He had sent out letters to the Hidden Sword Sect and the small town where Shen Lianxin was.

Although there was no reply yet, Lin Fei believed, at least, Shen Lianxin would definitely come! Because Shen Lianxin still owed Lin Fei a life! As for whether Liu Yibai would come, Lin Fei was not sure. After all, Shen Lianxin was a loner, a wanderer in the martial arts world. But Liu Yibai was different. Behind Liu Yibai, there is the Hidden Sword Sect. Every move of Liu Yibai represents the Hidden Sword Sect.

However, whether Liu Yibai comes or not. Lin Fei must win this battle!

"The founder of Great Chang was able to sweep invincibly and suppress the immortal sects, so can I!"

Lin Fei closed his eyes. He was slowly adjusting his state, adjusting his mood.

At this time, thinking about improving one's strength was simply impossible. Moreover, what preparation, what scheme, under the power at this level, actually had no effect at all. At this time, it was a competition of true strength!

Time passed bit by bit. Lin Fei kept his eyes closed. Nobody disturbed him. His state of mind, too, had completely fallen into a calm state.

"Whoosh".

Suddenly, Lin Fei opened his eyes. Just now, in that extreme state of mind, he sensed a slight fluctuation in the Spiritual Qi of the Nine Profound Sect. Although this fluctuation did not appear in the Nine Profound Sect and it was very faint, it was eventually caught by Lin Fei.

"Finally here?"

Lin Fei's eyes were calm. He then stood up and took a step forward.

"Whoosh".

Lin Fei had arrived outside the cave mansion. Step by step, he walked through the air and arrived in the void.

"Since you're here, show yourself!"

Lin Fei's voice echoed in the void.

"What a Nine Profound Sect Martial Saint! We just arrived and you've already noticed. But noticing us doesn't mean anything, this time we came with a straightforward attitude to completely crush you!"

With the sound of the voice in the void, above the Nine Profound Sect, one figure after another had appeared. One, two, three, four, five...

Lin Fei swept his gaze over.

"Ten Foundation Establishment True Persons. You really think highly of me. I'm afraid that even the founder of Great Chang didn't have the treatment of being besieged by ten Foundation Establishment True Persons!"

Lin Fei looked at the ten figures in the void and said calmly.
