Lin Fei, Ancient Origin Sect Master, Wind Sovereign, and all the other Martial Sovereigns had returned to the Ancient Origin Sect.
In the grand hall, the leader of the Ancient Origin Sect laughed and said, "Sovereign Lin, with our journey to Taiyi Dao Palace this time, we can finally rest easy."
"Indeed, as long as Sovereign Lin is with us, Taiyi Dao Palace will not dare to make a move against our Ancient Origin Sect."
"We have at least a thousand years of peace."
All the Sovereigns appeared elated. With Lin Fei around, the Ancient Origin Sect was guaranteed a millennium of prosperity.
"A thousand years?" Lin Fei shook his head, "Maybe tomorrow, maybe a few years, but definitely not a thousand. They will make their move."
A Martial Sovereign frowned, "Taiyi Dao Palace can't defeat you, how would they dare?"
"They may not take action, but they could hire someone who will. If Taiyi Dao Palace brings in a Nascent Soul cultivator, do you still believe we can rest easy?"
Lin Fei's words changed the expressions of all the Martial Sovereigns.
"Summon a Nascent Soul cultivator? Is that even possible?"
Many doubted. If it were that easy, Taiyi Dao Palace would have done it long ago. But what if they did?
"Sovereign Lin, what should we do?" Wind Sovereign asked.
All eyes were now on Lin Fei. He was the core of the Ancient Origin Sect.
"It's simple. I will become the Martial King. Then, all problems will be solved."
The room went silent. They knew Lin Fei was powerful, but he had only mastered five of the Divine Abilities. To become a Martial King, he had to merge all nine. Only then could he possibly attain the Martial King's bloodline and status. However, if anyone from the Ancient Origin Sect had a chance, it was Lin Fei.
Lin Fei left the hall, giving a reminder to the Sect's Sovereigns to stay vigilant. He returned to his dwelling, knowing Taiyi Dao Palace wouldn't let it go, but also confident they wouldn't act soon without being sure of victory.
He was also aware that only by becoming a Martial King could he eliminate the threat of Taiyi Dao Palace for good. But it wasn't going to be easy. He had just mastered five of the Divine Abilities. There were four more to go.
Lin Fei had time, but Great Chang might not be able to wait that long. Some Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core True Persons from the Ancient Continent had already set out for Great Chang. He wondered what had become of it.

Lin Fei knew he had to rush back to Great Chang soon.
"First, I should visit the Martial Arts Tower and 'create' a top-notch Great Divine Ability as my sixth Divine Ability..."
Lin Fei didn't dwell on how long it would take to return to Great Chang this time. The stronger his power, the better.
Thus, Lin Fei ventured to the fourth floor of the Martial Arts Tower.
The fourth floor was entirely dedicated to Divine Abilities. Lin Fei had grown adept at "creating" Divine Abilities. However, now he needed to choose a direction. For his sixth Divine Ability, what kind of power did he need?
For the fifth Divine Ability, Lin Fei had chosen the path of immortality to counter the threat from Taiyi Dao Palace, resulting in the creation of the top-tier Undying Seal Great Divine Ability. Even a Nascent Soul magic treasure could not kill him.
Undoubtedly, the fifth Divine Ability was a resounding success! Therefore, Lin Fei had even higher expectations for the sixth Divine Ability.
Lin Fei pondered the Divine Abilities he currently possessed: Black Wind Prison, Gravity Domain, Dual-World Saber, Annihilation, and Undying Seal, totaling five.
Among them, the Gravity Domain, similar to the Saber Domain, was a restrictive Divine Ability, mainly used to suppress the opponent's power. Undying Seal was defensive, giving the user a type of immortality. Black Wind Prison was an expansive attack against life. Both Dual-World Saber and Annihilation Divine Ability were powerful and direct attack abilities.
These five Divine Abilities were comprehensive, leaving no glaring weaknesses. But in certain areas, there were still vulnerabilities. For instance, he didn't possess a straightforward defensive Divine Ability. Even the Undying Seal, with its immortality trait, wasn't genuinely defensive.
Another issue was the absence of a decisive, all-ending ability. If he didn't have a powerful enough direct defense Divine Ability, the Great Mountain Divine Seal could crush him. What if he couldn't break a more potent seal like the True Fire Tower? While it couldn't kill him, being sealed or trapped was almost as bad.
So, Lin Fei concluded, "I need a Divine Ability that is definitive. One that can break any seal. Even if I'm trapped, I should be able to break the confinement of any magic treasure."
Lin Fei knew that finding such a Divine Ability would be a challenging endeavor. Perhaps even if he scoured all the Divine Ability scriptures in the Ancient Origin Sect's Martial Arts Tower, he might not have found the ability he sought. However, he had the option to "create" his own.
To create something wasn't to conjure it out of thin air. Lin Fei couldn't magically invent a Divine Ability. But after his previous two endeavors in "creating" Divine Abilities, he had garnered some personal experience and even had a few ideas. This was an ideal opportunity to "experiment." Even if he failed, it wouldn't impact him in any way.
Firstly, Lin Fei needed to have a clear idea or vision. He had to be precise about what kind of Divine Ability he needed. Not just a vague concept. He closed his eyes, thinking of the True Fire Tower. This magic treasure was a prime example of a sealing-type magic treasure. Even other more potent magic treasures, stronger than the True Fire Tower, were primarily more robust in their sealing ability and harder to damage. But if he had a Divine Ability that could shatter anything, no sealing magic treasure could hold him.
"Sharp, invincible, capable of breaking through everything..."
In his mind, Lin Fei's concept of the Divine Ability he needed became clearer and more refined. Suddenly, there was a jolt in his mind. He envisioned a Divine Ability that perfectly aligned with his idea. However, what he "imagined" looked more like a needle or a needle-shaped magic treasure.
But Lin Fei was looking to cultivate a Divine Ability, not create a magic treasure.
