"Transcendence!" Lin Fei murmured softly, a touch of astonishment evident in his voice. Previously, he had been worried about advancing his Annihilation Divine Ability, uncertain of how to enhance it. But now, in just a short span of time, his Annihilation Divine Ability had achieved Transcendence and was not far from perfection.

"System," Lin Fei invoked the system to check his martial arts progress.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Mid-stage Martial Sovereign

Great Divine Ability: Black Wind Prison: Perfection

Great Divine Ability: Gravity Domain: Perfection

Great Divine Ability: Dual-World Saber: Perfection

Great Divine Ability: Annihilation: Transcendence (Progress 40%)

Saber Domain: Transcendence (Progress 1%)

Indeed, Lin Fei's Annihilation Divine Ability had reached Transcendence with a cultivation progress of 40%. This meant that once Lin Fei advanced his cultivation a little further, he would achieve perfection in this ability. At that point, he could begin cultivating a fifth Divine Ability.

Moreover, Lin Fei understood the path to enhance the Annihilation Divine Ability: destruction. However, with the entire Profound Light Cave Heaven obliterated by him, there was nothing left to destroy.

"Let's return to Ancient Origin Sect," Lin Fei decided without any further delay, joining Wind Sovereign and others to fly towards the Ancient Origin Sect.

...

Inside the grand hall of Taiyi Dao Palace.

"Bang!"

The esteemed palace master, who was always calm and composed, could no longer contain his fury. The entire grand hall seemed to tremble from his rage.

He's furious!

Taiyi Dao Palace's palace master was absolutely livid.

"Six Golden Core True Persons from my Taiyi Dao Palace, plus Xuanwu who pledged allegiance to us. That's a total of seven. And including the five elders, that's twelve Golden Core True Persons—all killed by Lin Fei! Lin Fei must be executed! The Ancient Origin Sect must be destroyed!"

Inside the grand hall, everyone remained silent, not even daring to breathe. The palace master had never shown such wrath before. However, upon receiving this news, everyone was stupefied.

Profound Light Cave Heaven was gone, completely erased without a trace. Xuanwu and the Golden Core True Persons from Taiyi Dao Palace were all dead. The culprit was none other than Lin Fei, whom Taiyi Dao Palace loathed to the core.

Previously, Taiyi Dao Palace had even dispatched the five elders to ambush Lin Fei outside Cangli Ancient City, taking ample precautions. The five elders were top-tier Golden Core True Persons. It would be more than enough to assassinate a Martial Sovereign. Many even felt that the palace master was making a mountain out of a molehill.

However, the reality proved otherwise. It wasn't the palace master overreacting. It was Lin Fei surpassing everyone's imagination. He even counter-killed the five elders.

This time, Taiyi Dao Palace, by using the Nascent Soul Transformation Pill, managed to take the initiative. They almost incorporated the entire Profound Light Cave Heaven into Taiyi Dao Palace. Destroying the Red Hades Mansion and the Ancient Origin Sect seemed like a walk in the park.

Moreover, the palace master was fully prepared. Always cautious, monitoring Lin Fei's movements. They even planned to concentrate their forces to deal with Lin Fei. Yet, they were still one step behind. Or perhaps, the palace master hadn't expected that Lin Fei would break the protective formation of Profound Light Cave Heaven. And then, single-handedly obliterate the Profound Light Cave Heaven.

"Lin Fei's obliteration of Profound Light Cave Heaven signifies his unstoppable momentum! In the past, the Taiyi Dao Palace would avoid offending such a person. And even if we did, we'd seek to reconcile. But now, after Lin Fei killed so many of our Golden Core True Persons, the hatred can't be dissolved.

Furthermore, considering Lin Fei's talents, achieving the title of Martial King in the future isn't out of the question. If that happens, the very existence of my Taiyi Dao Palace would be threatened. The fate of Profound Light Cave Heaven serves as a lesson! Therefore, we must eliminate Lin Fei at all costs!"

The palace master's expression was stern, his tone chilling with murderous intent. Everyone present was slightly startled. They hadn't expected the palace master to give such high praise to Lin Fei.

In fact, having led the Taiyi Dao Palace for hundreds of years, the palace master had done quite well. He was very wise, not always relying on sheer power. Taiyi Dao Palace also knew when to compromise.

But now, who would've thought Lin Fei could grow this fast? In such a short time, he had reached this level. Taiyi Dao Palace was now in a bind. They had to take action! They must kill Lin Fei!

"While Lin Fei is strong, becoming a Martial King seems almost impossible, right? So many talented Martial Sovereigns failed to become Martial Kings. Even Martial Sovereigns from Martial King families, possessing Martial King bloodlines, find it almost impossible to become Martial Kings. As long as Lin Fei doesn't become a Martial King, he won't pose a threat to our Taiyi Dao Palace.”

Some of the elders felt that the palace master was being overly concerned. Yes, Lin Fei was powerful, But he wasn't powerful enough to destroy Taiyi Dao Palace. After all, Taiyi Dao Palace wasn't Profound Light Cave Heaven.

"If you all think that way, then you are greatly mistaken. Perhaps, Xuanwu thought the same way. And what was the result? The protective formation was broken, and their sect was erased, their lineage completely cut off. The consequences are too grave, the cost too high. Even if there's the slightest chance, Taiyi Dao Palace can't take that risk! Therefore, I've decided to invoke the mighty Great Mountian Divine Seal and personally head to the Ancient Origin Sect. We must obliterate the Ancient Origin Sect, kill Lin Fei, and completely eliminate this tiny threat!"

As the palace master finished speaking, The entire hall was filled with murmurs of shock.

"What? Palace Master, you want to use the Great Mountian Divine Seal?"

"Palace Master, absolutely not! The Great Mountian Divine Seal is the foundation of our Taiyi Dao Palace, it cannot be harmed in the slightest."

"If the Great Mountian Divine Seal suffers even the slightest damage, then the foundation of our Taiyi Dao Palace will be compromised."

"Exactly, the Great Mountian Divine Seal is not just a simple magic treasure. It supports the entire magic treasure system of our Taiyi Dao Palace."

"Without the Great Mountian Divine Seal, can we still refine the Great Mountain Seal?"

"Our Taiyi Dao Palace, the reason we stand out among so many Nascent Soul legacies is primarily because of the Great Mountain Seal. If the Great Mountian Divine Seal is gone, there will be no talk of the Great Mountain Seal."

"Palace Master, please reconsider!"

The Great Mountain Divine Seal, which was crafted by the founder of the palace a Nascent Soul Great Being. It wasn't just at the Golden Core level but at the Nascent Soul level!

Such a powerful magic treasure is the foundation of the Taiyi Dao Palace. Thus, the palace master's proposal was met with opposition from almost all of the Taiyi Dao Palace Golden Core True Persons. The importance of the Great Mountian Divine Seal was too great to risk. There were quite a few forces comparable to them, and they had to be wary of those dark glances.

The palace master's face turned ashen. In his mind, no price was too high to kill Lin Fei. Yet now, it seems that using the Great Mountian Divine Seal faces too much resistance. Even if he's the palace master, it's not something that can be decided easily. Nevertheless, Lin Fei must be eliminated.

"If we don't use the Great Mountian Divine Seal, we can only awaken the sleeping elders. However, once awakened, they cannot sleep again, and when their time comes, they will inevitably die."

The palace master gritted his teeth and made a decision. The Taiyi Dao Palace had many Golden Core True Persons approaching their end who chose to sleep, their powers sealed, ensuring they wouldn't die. They would only be awakened in times of great peril to the sect. Yet, once awakened, they cannot be sealed again. When their time comes, they will die. This technique is a legacy passed down by Nascent Soul Great Beings, representing the foundation of the Nascent Soul legacies.

But, was it worth paying such a huge price just to kill Lin Fei?

The palace master believed it was. This time, no Golden Core True Person stopped him. Waking the elders might come at a significant cost, but at least it wouldn't shake the foundation of Taiyi Dao Palace.

Therefore, the palace master arrived at the cave where the elders were sealed in their sleep. He cast a spell and the whole cave began to vibrate.

The palace master, along with all the Golden Core True Persons, paid their respects to the cave and shouted, "The 38th generation palace master of Taiyi Dao Palace respectfully requests the awakening of our past elders!"

"Respectfully requests the awakening of our past elders!"

Many Taiyi Dao Palace Golden Core True Persons also cast their spells, the sounds reverberating throughout the cave.

The cave shook violently. Simultaneously, powerful presences seemed to wake from their slumber and erupted with force.

"Has the Taiyi Dao Palace encountered a life-and-death crisis?"

An ancient voice echoed in the ears of the palace master and all the Golden Core True Persons. The past generations of Taiyi Dao Palace's Golden Core True Persons awakened!
