The Ancient Origin Sect was bustling with activity. In roughly a month's time, the Martial King coronation ceremony for Lin Fei would be held. Lin Fei himself wasn't particularly concerned about this event, but the Sect Master of the Ancient Origin Sect and other Martial Sovereigns insisted on hosting it.

It was a ritual!

On the Ancient Continent, whether one achieved the prowess of Nascent Soul or Martial King, a grand celebration would be held. This ceremony is a message to the outside world, signifying the rise of the Ancient Origin Sect to the ranks of the Martial King lineage, especially now that they had a Martial King to safeguard them. The identity and status of the Ancient Origin Sect would now be on par with other Martial King families and Nascent Soul lineages. Therefore, this celebration was of paramount importance to the Ancient Origin Sect.

Seeing its significance, Lin Fei didn't protest further. He entrusted the event's planning to the Sect Master. During this period, Lin Fei was preoccupied with the matter of his second bloodline.

In hindsight, Lin Fei felt somewhat fortunate. He hadn't insisted on cultivating the nine top-tier Great Divine Abilities but chose to integrate the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King, leading to his ascension as a Martial King. This bloodline, equivalent to the five top-tier Great Divine Abilities, was indeed formidable.

Had he not ascended to Martial King and faced the Daoist Lord Qianhe invited by the Taiyi Dao Palace, the consequences would have been unthinkable. After all, regardless of how powerful Lin Fei was, a Martial Sovereign would not match a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, in his battle against Qianhe, even though he had destroyed the Magic Avatar, the latter still managed to escape, despite Lin Fei possessing the Saber World advantage. It was evident that the Daoist Lord was no pushover.

Lin Fei, fresh into his Martial King status, not only defeated him head-on but also came close to killing the esteemed Nascent Soul cultivator. Killing such a being, even for another of equal power, was an arduous task.

Yet, possessing the Saber World gave Lin Fei an unparalleled edge. He had the potential to slay a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, relying solely on his Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline was insufficient. He needed a second or even a third bloodline.

As for the cultivation of this second bloodline, Lin Fei had been contemplating the direction. Within the Dubhe Dao Artifact, he had ample techniques to cultivate various bloodlines.

Yet, choosing which one to cultivate required careful consideration. Cultivating a bloodline would require its own advantages; otherwise, progression would be tough. For instance, Lin Fei's expertise in Saber Dao was exceptional, allowing him to master the Saber Dao Bloodline rapidly. Cultivating other unfamiliar bloodlines might be more challenging.

Of course, the difficulty in cultivation wasn't Lin Fei's primary concern. He was pondering how to compensate for his own shortcomings or even how to slay other powerful beings. For instance, when it came to the Daoist Lord Qianhe, there were two ways to defeat him. The first was a swift, lethal strike, which was challenging given Lin Fei's current power. The second method would be to match the escape technique of the Daoist Lord Qianhe.

"Evasion techniques..." Lin Fei muttered, lost in thought. Speaking of evasion, it was indeed his weak point, and arguably that of all Martial Kings. Martial Kings lacked evasion techniques, unlike Nascent Soul cultivators, who all had their own unique methods. Even Golden Core True Persons had evasion skills. Martial Kings were unparalleled in direct combat but often found it challenging to kill their opponents because of the evasion skills of the Nascent Soul cultivators. They could flee the scene if the battle wasn't in their favor.

While Lin Fei could teleport within the Saber World, its coverage was limited. Outside of its range, he was powerless. However, he had an epiphany.

"Martial Kings might not have evasion techniques, but they can have speed. When speed reaches a certain level, how is it different from an evasion technique?" He thought.

Regarding speed, light was the first thing that came to Lin Fei's mind. What could possibly be faster than light? However, even if he knew the speed of light, he had no means to cultivate a bloodline associated with it.

Apart from light, the next fastest thing that came to mind was wind, which was historically associated with speed. Especially if one cultivated the wind bloodline, their affinity with wind would be unimaginable.

Lin Fei believed that once he cultivated the wind bloodline, his speed might not be inferior to that of wind evasion. Moreover, the wind bloodline wasn't just about speed. It also had offensive capabilities on a large scale. One of Lin Fei's Divine Abilities, Black Wind Prison, was wind-based. And it was the kind of wind that could erode bones. Wind could be deadly and terrifying!

"The second bloodline I'll choose is the wind-type bloodline!" Lin Fei made up his mind. Since his bloodline had integrated the Black Wind Prison, the wind bloodline, which he was already familiar with, would be easier to cultivate, yielding faster results. It might even reach mastery instantly, just like the saber bloodline. However, a suitable bloodline cultivation method had to be chosen.

Inside the Dubhe Dao Artifact, after some selection, Lin Fei realized that wind could be of different kinds, such as Grand Yin or Grand Yang. In the end, Lin Fei chose the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline. He opted for Grand Yin because of Black Wind Prison, which was a "Yin attribute" wind, like the bone-eroding wind that was cold to the extreme. Cultivating a familiar bloodline would undoubtedly yield better results faster.

"Then, let's begin."

Lin Fei addressed the technique of the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline, saying, "Would you be willing to help me achieve the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline?"

"Buzz."

Suddenly, a hint of the "Black Wind Prison" Divine Ability's aura emanated from Lin Fei's body. Moreover, Lin Fei's Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline also emitted a similar aura, as if it was a divine saber poised above this technique, almost like a threat. If it didn't agree, perhaps the saber might strike down.

"Whoosh."

Immediately, a ray of light entered Lin Fei's body.

"Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline requests to become your martial art."

"Agreed!"

The next moment, Lin Fei's entire body trembled. Then, a foreign memory emerged in Lin Fei's mind. It was the memory of cultivating the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline, and it was just at the beginner level.

However, as the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline was born inside Lin Fei, his inherent "Black Wind Prison" Divine Ability gradually merged into the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline.

"Boom."

In the next instant, a massive phantom appeared behind Lin Fei. It was that familiar giant's image. But now, this phantom was surrounded by a grayish wind, cold and eerie.

With a thought, Lin Fei knew that his Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline had reached beginner! This was the second Martial King bloodline he had cultivated!

"System."

Lin Fei immediately accessed the system to check.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Early Martial King

Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline: Perfection

Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline: Beginner (Progress 70%)

Saber World: Perfection

Even though Lin Fei's Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline incorporated the Divine Ability of Black Wind Prison, its foundation in wind techniques was nowhere near as profound as that of the saber technique. As a result, the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline could only reach beginner level and did not achieve mastery directly. However, this wasn't an issue. Lin Fei could find ways to perfect the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline!

"Right, I now have two bloodlines. If I have descendants in the future. Which bloodline will my offspring inherit?"

In Lin Fei's mind, a rather "quirky and peculiar" idea suddenly emerged.
