Suddenly, Lin Fei's physique began its metamorphosis. This marked the inception of becoming a Martial Sovereign. It was akin to a leap in one's life force.

The Golden Core True Person had to face the trial of heavenly thunder. In the midst of the thunder's strikes, life was rejuvenated.

At that moment, it was a transition, a leap in life itself. Yet, a Martial Sovereign did not require the trial of the heavenly thunder.

However, the power nurtured within the Life Wheel was essential for the body's transformation. Swiftly, every aspect of Lin Fei's being—his muscles, flesh, bones, and even his skin— began undergoing this transformation.

Moreover, this transformation was irreversible. It would endure for an extended period.

One day, two days, three days...

Lin Fei's transformation lasted an extensive duration. His Life Wheel absorbed vast amounts of Spiritual Qi daily, turning it into a mysterious force. Then, that force reshaped his physique.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. Lin Fei's body resembled a cocoon.

With a crisp "snap," the cocoon abruptly broke open. Emerging from it, Lin Fei stepped out. With a soft swish, he opened his eyes. A streak of golden light seemed to flash across them. Simultaneously, he lifted his hand.

Upon observing his arm, it was delicate and fair. Moreover, the very constitution of his muscles and veins had altered profoundly from before. Subtle hints of golden radiance emanated from him.

At the same time, a novel power surged within Lin Fei's grasp. This power, birthed from the Life Wheel, had once been too immense for his former physique. Now, with his newly transformed body, he could effortlessly harness it.

In that very instant, two figures appeared in Lin Fei's cavern abode.

"Sect Master, Wind Sovereign!"

These individuals were none other than the Master of the Ancient Origin Sect and the Chief of the Law Enforcement Hall, Wind Sovereign. Joy sparkled in the eyes of the Sect Master.

"Seven days, Elder Lin. Your transformation took a full week! Incredible, truly remarkable!"

"Hmm? What's significant about these seven days?" Lin Fei inquired, unaware of the importance of a week-long transformation.

Wind Sovereign replied with a smile, "The difference is immense. The longer the transformation, the more thorough the rejuvenation of one's body and the greater the life force expended. Of course, once the transformation is complete, your body will inevitably be more robust. It's an all-encompassing enhancement. This transformation prepares the body to bear the Life Power. This represents a holistic enhancement. The transformation of the flesh was, after all, to harness Life Power. The nature of Life Power thus determines the characteristics of your mortal vessel.

Ah, perhaps you're unfamiliar with Life Power. Life Power is the novel force forged through your Life Wheel. This Life Power emerges slowly, crafted from the convergence of your Qi, energy, and spirit. Its attributes and strength are intrinsically linked to your Qi, energy, and spirit. Your lengthy transformation suggests the potency of your Life Power."

Lin Fei grasped the concept. Life Power dictated the metamorphosis of the flesh. The more potent the Life Power, the stronger the transformed flesh became. This Life Power was intrinsically connected to a martial artist's Qi, energy, and spirit, also known as the Three Flowers.

"Life Power..."

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Lin Fei extended his hand, and a strand of Life Power shimmered above his palm. This Life Power exuded a peculiar aura, glinting with a faint golden luminance.

A thought struck Wind Sovereign. With a snap of his fingers, a strand of Life Power sped towards Lin Fei. Lin Fei responded in kind, and their Life Powers collided ferociously. It wasn't a world-shattering impact, nor was it an entanglement difficult to untwine.

The two Life Powers merely grazed each other, and then... nothing.

The strand of Life Power from Wind Sovereign vanished. Yes, simply vanished. It seemed to be entirely absorbed by Lin Fei's strand of Life Power. To put it another way, it was devoured.

Lin Fei's Life Power clashed with that of Wind Sovereign and, in an instant, "swallowed" Wind Sovereign's Life Power.

"What is this...?"

Wind Sovereign, the Sect Master, and even Lin Fei himself were utterly astonished. With a wave of his hand, the strand of Life Power seamlessly integrated back into Lin Fei's body, showing no signs of discordance. In fact, it felt slightly more robust.

"Devouring? Is the nature of your Life Power devouring?"

Wind Sovereign's eyes widened in disbelief, his emotions running wild. His gaze bore the weight of seeing the unimaginable. Every Life Power has its unique attributes.

For example, the distinguishing feature of Wind Sovereign's Life Power was its "explosiveness". Even a single wisp of Life Power bore immense might. In contrast, the Sect Master's Life Power was stability— profound stability. The Sect Master too unleashed a wisp of his Life Power.

Similarly, Lin Fei manifested a strand of his Life Power. Once again, they clashed. And just like with Wind Sovereign, the result was the same. Lin Fei's Life Power "devoured" the Sect Master's Life Power.

"It truly devoured the Life Power. What sort of trait is this Life Power?"

The Sect Master was taken aback. Never had he heard of someone's Life Power possessing the characteristic of "devouring". But upon closer introspection, Lin Fei had a theory. It wasn't really devouring; it was more akin to fusion. An all-encompassing embrace!

Because Lin Fei's saber momentum had, in essence, integrated the strengths of countless styles. It was the confluence of numerous blade techniques, saber intent, and saber momentum. Only through such amalgamation could the saber momentum be perfected, culminating in the Qi Flower.

Life Power, too, was birthed from the foundation of saber momentum, saber essence, and more. Its hallmark was the fusion of all elements, an all-embracing merger.

Even Lin Fei's very flesh likely embraced this concept of universal integration. As for the specifics, further experimentation was necessary on Lin Fei's part. Moreover, simply "devouring" with Life Power didn't lead to direct cultivation enhancement.

Upon reaching Martial Sovereign, progression wasn't solely reliant on Life Power.

"Lin Fei, do you know what a Martial Sovereign cultivates? It isn't just the cultivation of Life Power. It's the cultivation of Divine Ability! While a Golden Core True Person has magic treasures, we, the Martial Sovereigns, possess Divine Abilities!

In fact, only upon attaining the rank of Martial Sovereign can martial artists truly stand on par with immortal dao cultivators. No longer fearing the spells and magic treasures of the Golden Core True Persons. Our spells are every bit as potent as, if not superior to, those of the Golden Core True Persons.

Have you noticed the layers of radiant rings on our Life Wheel? Each luminous ring represents a Divine Ability. At the pinnacle of Martial Sovereign, one possesses nine such rings, equating to nine Divine Abilities.

Of course, not all Divine Abilities are created equal. They're categorized into Great Divine Abilities and Lesser Divine Abilities. To journey further and ascend beyond the realm of Martial Sovereign, each of your Divine Abilities must be of the Great category. Otherwise, cultivating even a single Lesser Divine Ability might severely hinder one's chances of transcending the Martial Sovereign realm.

There had also been people who had first cultivated Lesser Divine Abilities and then advanced them to Great Divine Abilities with their supreme talent. But that's too difficult.

So, having just achieved the rank of Martial Sovereign, the most pressing matter is to cultivate a Divine Ability. As for whether you opt for a Great Divine Ability or a Lesser Divine Ability, That's a decision you'll have to make.

However, typically, only those who find it genuinely challenging to master a Great Divine Ability would choose to cultivate a Lesser Divine Ability, aiming to enhance their combat capabilities.

Divine Ability can be self-comprehended or learned from others, essentially amounting to martial arts at the Martial Sovereign level. Generally speaking, a Divine Ability that one comprehends on their own tends to be highly compatible and potent.

Learning a Divine Ability from another will always have certain inadequacies. But it's undoubtedly a quick way to cultivate a Divine Ability. Specifically, Elder Lin can weigh this for yourself."

Both the Sect Master and Wind Sovereign were imparting Lin Fei with foundational knowledge on Martial Sovereign cultivation. This gave Lin Fei a very direct understanding of the cultivation process at the Martial Sovereign level.
