The saber was broken!
Such an unforeseen event left even Lin Fei slightly taken aback.
This saber bore the seal of the Saber Sovereign Sect's founding master's Saber Domain. If the saber were to shatter, it meant that the Saber Domain sealed within would be unleashed without hindrance. Perhaps, the Saber Domain would become immensely powerful at that moment.
However, it would be but a fleeting strength. Once the saber fragmented, its contained Saber Domain would gradually dissipate, eventually vanishing entirely.
A resonating hum arose.
The Saber Domain of the Saber Sovereign Sect's founding master soared to the heavens, effortlessly suppressing Lin Fei's Saber Domain. However, it showed no intention to completely overpower Lin Fei's Saber Domain. Instead, within the Saber Domain, it began to cultivate saber techniques.
A single saber technique, from its inception to its peak, to the birth of saber intent, evolving to saber momentum and ultimately culminating in the Saber Domain. It even progressed from this Saber Domain to perfection.
From nothingness to entirety. A full evolution.
Moreover, within Lin Fei's mind, it seemed as though the entire process of saber technique evolution had been indelibly etched. It would be hard to forget.
Lin Fei's heart jolted. He understood. He subtly grasped the intent of the Saber Sovereign Sect's founding master. The aim was to use the Saber Domain to engrave the entire evolution of the saber technique deeply within the Martial Sovereign's mind, aiding the Martial Sovereign in developing his own Saber Domain.
Such assistance was invaluable. For instance, a voice immediately echoed within Lin Fei's mind.
"Your Saber Domain has received the 'meticulous guidance' from the perfected Saber Domain, and your Saber Domain begins to attain enlightenment."
Lin Fei's Saber Domain had actually started this "enlightenment". It was a pleasant surprise. He didn't even need to sharpen it. With the perfected Saber Domain's "hands-on guidance", it was near impossible for Lin Fei's Saber Domain not to get enlightenment. Especially since Lin Fei's Saber Domain was just at mastery. There was ample room for elevation.
The enlightenment of Lin Fei's Saber Domain proved to be exceedingly fruitful. He could palpably feel his Saber Domain gradually growing stronger.
10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%...
Approximately an hour passed.
"Boom."
At last, Lin Fei's Saber Domain transformed.
"Your Saber Domain's enlightenment has concluded."
"Your Saber Domain has achieved a 101% increase in cultivation progress."
"Your Saber Domain has advanced to Transcendence!"
Lin Fei wasn't surprised. His Saber Domain had surged directly from Mastery to Transcendence. Such a leap was nothing short of a monumental breakthrough. This tremendous advancement brought along an unexpected joy. Namely, the Divine Ability: Dual-World Saber!
"Upon your Saber Domain's breakthrough to Transcendence, the Dual-World Saber has also enhanced, achieving a 50% progression in cultivation."

"Your Divine Ability: Dual-World Saber's cultivation progress is now 100%."
"Your Divine Ability: Dual-World Saber has reached perfection!"
"Boom."
Behind Lin Fei, a vast Life Wheel dramatically emerged. Upon the Life Wheel shone the third radiance of the Divine Ability Dual-World Saber, now blazing brilliantly. Clearly, the Divine Ability: Dual-World Saber had undergone a significant enhancement.
Perfection! The Divine Ability Dual-World Saber had ascended directly to perfection, spurred by the enhancement of the Saber Domain.
"System."
Lin Fei immediately summoned the system panel to check his martial progress.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Realm: Early Martial Sovereign
Great Divine Ability: Black Wind Prison: Perfection
Great Divine Ability: Gravity Domain: Perfection
Great Divine Ability: Dual-World Saber: Perfection
Saber Domain: Transcendence (Progress 1%)
Indeed, Lin Fei's Great Divine Ability Dual-World Saber had reached its pinnacle. He could now begin cultivating the fourth Divine Ability. And, upon mastering this fourth Divine Ability, he would leap from the early phase of Martial Sovereign directly to its mid-phase—a metamorphosis in essence.
His Saber Domain had also achieved Transcendence. Yet, it was not just a mere transcendence. There was still an additional 1% in cultivation progress. The prior enlightenment of the Saber Domain had resulted in a 101% increase. This surplus of 1% pointed in a certain direction—the path from Transcendence to Perfection.
With the guidance from the Saber Sovereign Sect's founding master's perfected Saber Domain, Lin Fei's Saber Domain had already comprehended its path: from mastery to transcendence, and then to perfection. Lin Fei had understood it all.
Thus, in the time to come, Lin Fei's Saber Domain could continue its enhancement until it reached its zenith. The only requirement might be the passage of time. For Lin Fei, this was, of course, splendid news. It meant that Lin Fei needn't strategize to elevate his Saber Domain. The Saber Domain would, on its own, gradually advance to its pinnacle, virtually without any barriers.
In other words, the fate of Lin Fei's Saber Domain was sealed. It was destined to reach perfection!
Finally, the profound Saber Domain in the cave dwelling, the legacy of the Saber Sovereign Sect's founding master, disappeared completely.
Gone.
The perfect realm Saber Domain left by the Saber Sovereign Sect's founder was completely gone. However, for Lin Fei, this was a trip of enormous gain. The assistance provided by the Saber Domain left behind was invaluable to Lin Fei, almost a qualitative leap.
All that was left on the ground was the broken saber.
Lin Fei gazed at the broken saber and calmly declared, "Since I've accepted your favor, I shall deal with Saber Sovereign Sect's troubles."
Paying a slight homage to the broken saber, he then sent a message to the people of the Saber Sovereign Sect outside, "Come in."
The sect members had seen the changes in the cave dwelling—the Saber Domain disappeared. Many were filled with anxiety, unsure of what had happened. Hearing Lin Fei's summons, the sect master and elders hurriedly entered.
"Sovereign, what is..." The moment the sect master entered the cave dwelling, his eyes fell on the broken saber on the ground. Shattered. Just the broken remains of a saber.
His heart trembled. If the saber was broken, naturally, the Saber Domain would have disappeared. He looked at Lin Fei with a hint of unease in his eyes.
Lin Fei probably guessed what the Sect leader was thinking. Thus, he calmly said, "The saber may be broken, but the Saber Domain left by the Sect's founder has been beneficial to me. Check out what the founder has left for you. He has already given me what I needed."
To Lin Fei, he had little interest in the other contents of the cave dwelling. The guidance of the Saber Domain left by the Sect founder, guiding him hand in hand, was more valuable than any treasure.
"Thank you, Sovereign!" The sect master was deeply moved and proceeded to inspect the cave.
"It's all here, it's all been here." He murmured in awe, "Divine Abilities of the Martial Sovereign. I thought the founder didn't leave us any martial Divine Abilities, but they're all here. Our later generations were incapable, lacking even one Martial Sovereign who could evolve the Saber Domain. Without evolving the Saber Domain, we couldn't enter this dwelling, allowing these martial Divine Abilities to gather dust."
Most of the abilities in the cave were related to the Saber Dao. Lin Fei took a cursory look. Most were Lesser Divine Abilities. Great Divine Abilities were rare. As for top-tier Great Divine Abilities, there wasn't a single one.
Lin Fei realized why the founder of the Saber Sovereign Sect had never achieved the Martial King realm. Maybe, from the beginning, he practiced Lesser Divine Abilities. Even if he had perfected the Saber Domain, without reaching Martial King, it was meaningless.
Lin Fei wasn't interested in these Divine Abilities. He intended to cultivate the fourth Divine Ability, which would surely be a top-tier Great Divine Ability. These Lesser Divine Abilities were irrelevant to him.
"Hmm? Wait, was this Divine Ability created by the Saber Sovereign Sect's founder?" Suddenly, Lin Fei spotted a Divine Ability that seemed different from the others.
