"What kind of people can Taiyi Dao Palace mess with?" Taiyi Dao Palace Master exclaimed in puzzlement. Recently, he issued a strict decree. All members of the Taiyi Dao Palace were forbidden from causing any disturbances. Though the palace wasn't officially sealed off, in practice, it bore no difference from such a state.

Surely, they had not attracted any adversaries. Furthermore, even if they had, who would dare approach the gates of Taiyi Dao Palace seeking trouble?

As the master continued to muse on the situation, his gaze landed on a streak of light shooting across the distant sky. The luminous trail halted in mid-air, revealing a figure. Upon recognizing the silhouette, the master's face paled.

"Daoist Lord Qianhe," he addressed, "That man is Lin Fei from the Ancient Origin Sect. He has dared to approach the gates of our Taiyi Dao Palace once more. It appears he intends to shatter our gates just as he did the last time. I implore you, Daoist Lord, strike down Lin Fei!"

At the very sight of Lin Fei, the palace master's heart skipped a beat. But with the timely presence of Daoist Qianhe, a glimmer of hope sparked within him.

"Are you certain that this individual is Lin Fei from the Ancient Origin Sect?" Daoist Qianhe's face grew stern, his eyes locked intently onto the figure hovering in the void.

"Without a shadow of a doubt, it is indeed Lin Fei," the master affirmed.

Daoist Qianhe's eyes gleamed with a subtle brilliance. He distinctly recalled the palace master mentioning a few months prior that Lin Fei merely possessed five Divine Abilities. Even if they were top-tier Great Divine Abilities, he was still but a Martial Sovereign.

However, upon this encounter, Daoist Qianhe detected a certain transformation in Lin Fei, though its exact nature eluded him. After all, he wasn't a martial artist. He had never encountered a Martial King, although he had met numerous Martial Sovereigns.

Yet, Lin Fei seemed distinct from the typical Martial Sovereign. However, he did not ponder on it too deeply. The very fact that Taiyi Dao Palace had willingly offered him the elixir spoke volumes of Lin Fei's extraordinary nature.

"Very well, if Lin Fei has chosen to come forth, then I shall graciously end his journey here!" Without hesitation, Daoist Qianhe stepped forth, his form darting towards the gates of Taiyi Dao Palace.

At that moment, outside the gates of Taiyi Dao Palace, Lin Fei paused.

"We have arrived at Taiyi Dao Palace," Lin Fei murmured softly. With a wave of his hand, the leaders of the Ancient Origin Sect, the Wind Sovereign, and others emerged from his Saber World.

Gazing upon the Taiyi Dao Palace brought a melange of emotions for each individual. Their previous venture with Lin Fei had been tinged with trepidation and underlying fear. They were uncertain of the events that might unfold. Perhaps Lin Fei's earlier failure might have resulted in the Ancient Origin Sect's destruction at the hands of Taiyi Dao Palace.

Things were different now. Lin Fei had become the Martial King. They held no doubt that Lin Fei had the power to annihilate Taiyi Dao Palace. Witnessing the downfall of Taiyi Dao Palace was a great honor for them – a rare opportunity. Their spirits lifted in anticipation.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Lin Fei gazed at the looming Taiyi Dao Palace, but he refrained from making his move. Because he noticed a figure – a Taoist transformed into a stream of light, shooting straight out from the gates of Taiyi Dao Palace. Did Taiyi Dao Palace really believe that a mere Golden Core True Person could match Lin Fei?

Floating in the void, Daoist Qianhe looked down at Lin Fei. "Are you Lin Fei of the Ancient Origin Sect?" he asked calmly. Yet, beneath that calm demeanor was an air of superiority, as if he looked down upon all mortals.

"You aren't from Taiyi Dao Palace, are you?" Lin Fei frowned. He could tell. If this man was from the Palace, he would recognize him. Moreover, he dared to step out of the gates.

"I am Qianhe, invited by the Taiyi Dao Palace," the Daoist explained.

"Invited by Taiyi Dao Palace?" Lin Fei shook his head. "Then I advise you to leave at once. I intend to destroy Taiyi Dao Palace utterly. If you are not a disciple of the Palace, I can let you go. But this is your only chance! Stay, and you'll be judged just like them."

Daoist Qianhe looked surprised. "Have you not heard of me?" he thought that once he revealed his identity, Lin Fei would understand. However, Lin Fei's ignorance and his audacity to threaten him left him taken aback. When was the last time someone dared to challenge the Daoist Lord this way?

"A brash Ancient Origin Sect! And a presumptuous Lin Fei! A mere Martial Sovereign, daring to belittle me and threatening to destroy Taiyi Dao Palace? Having cultivated a few top-tier Great Divine Abilities, has arrogance consumed you? Today, I shall be your end!" Daoist Qianhe declared.

With a single word, "Thunder," a massive bolt of lightning materialized out of the void, so grand that it seemed to connect the heavens and earth. Just this singular bolt was enough to obliterate any Martial Sovereign.

It was a spell, but also not quite. There were no incantations, no hand signs. Just one word from the Daoist Qianhe. This was the power of a Nascent Soul – a power where words become reality.

Only the Nascent Souls have this capability. Simply uttering a word can summon the elements. Say 'wind,' and wind will blow. Say 'rain,' and rain will fall. Say 'thunder,' and thunder will strike. Such was the power of the Nascent Soul, having the ability to harness the natural forces of the universe. It stems from their deep connection and understanding of the cosmos. The moment the power of the Nascent Soul is invoked, it can control the forces between heaven and earth.

Witnessing the lightning bolt, which pierced through the sky with its overwhelming aura, every cultivator within Taiyi Dao Palace felt a glint in their eyes. This was the formidable might of a Nascent Soul!

Every gesture, every word, manifested power instantly - this was the Dao of the immortals. Only those at the Nascent Soul level can truly be termed as "great beings." No matter how powerful a Golden Core True Person might be, they couldn't be termed as a "great being."

To the leader of Taiyi Dao Palace, Daoist Qianhe, a Nascent Soul of great capability, could obliterate Lin Fei with just a word. With a simple breath, even the entirety of the Ancient Origin Sect could be destroyed. This was the Nascent Soul Great Being that all cultivators dreamed of achieving.

The sky-piercing bolt of lightning came crashing down at an unimaginable speed. Lin Fei didn't even have time to evade, but he didn't even try. He simply looked up at the lightning bolt falling from the void. With a casual move, he clenched his hand into a fist.

With a loud "boom," in the next moment, Lin Fei's hand grew immensely, casting a massive shadow across the sky. This colossal hand reached out towards the lightning and with a mere grasp, caught it. The lighting was completely obliterated within Lin Fei's grip.

Everyone present was left stunned, staring at Lin Fei in disbelief. This was the power of the Daoist Lord Qianhe's lightning, something that even a peak Martial Sovereign wouldn’t be able to withstand. Yet, Lin Fei had effortlessly nullified it. Was this still the strength of a Martial Sovereign?

"Every gesture imbued with the power of Divine Abilities. Such physical strength is beyond comprehension. Martial King! Could it be that you've become a Martial King?"

The pupils of the Daoist Qianhe slightly contracted, a hint of shock evident on his face.
