"Ahead lies the Xiao family. I've heard that the Ancient Origin Saber King has deep ties with the Xiao family. He even killed Martial King Xiao Tianling for the sake of the Xiao family. Mountain King, I'll need your help this time. Otherwise, I truly wouldn't feel at ease."
Daoist Lord Qianhe said to Zhoushan. This Mountain King was also a Martial King and familiar with Daoist Lord Qianhe. This time, he had specially invited Mountain King to act as a mediator, hoping to fully reconcile with Lin Fei. For this reconciliation, Qianhe was well-prepared and willing to pay a "heavy price." As long as he could reconcile with Lin Fei, nothing else would matter.
Mountain King chuckled, "Qianhe, you indeed acted recklessly last time. Even if Taiyi Dao Palace gave you the Grand Yin Moonlight Divine Water, you shouldn't have antagonized a Martial King. Now, with Taiyi Dao Palace destroyed, you've also provoked the fearsome Ancient Origin Saber King. That Xiao Tianling, I've heard of him. Having cultivated two bloodlines, he's no weakling."
Daoist Lord Qianhe replied with a wry smile, "That's why I've sought out you, hoping you could mediate."
"Alright, let's go down then."
Following that, Mountain King and Daoist Lord Qianhe directly descended to the Xiao family's residence.
Seeing the two majestic figures descending from the sky, the Xiao family's guards immediately stepped forward, respectfully inquiring, "May I ask the purpose of the visit of the two seniors to the Xiao family?"
"I am Mountain King. I, along with Daoist Lord Qianhe, have come specifically to visit Ancient Origin Saber King Lin Fei. Kindly pass on our message."
The two guards were visibly shaken. Mountain King! Daoist Lord Qianhe! A Martial King and a Nascent Soul cultivator visiting together?
"Martial King and Taoist Lord, please enter the main hall. We'll notify the Ancient Origin Saber King immediately."
Both the Mountain King and Daoist Lord Qianhe nodded. If it wasn't for their request to Lin Fei, they wouldn't have condescended to visit the Xiao family. Even though the Xiao family was a lineage of Martial Kings, they currently lack one true Martial King. In the eyes of the Mountain King and Daoist Lord Qianhe, they were hardly noteworthy.
...
Inside the Divine Ability Tower, Lin Fei had integrated all Yin-attribute Fire Dao Divine Abilities. However, the Yin-attribute Fire Dao Divine Abilities were too few in number. Even when combined with the Yin-attribute Fire Dao Divine Abilities inside Lin Fei's Dubhe Dao Artifact, the progress of the Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline cultivation was limited.
"System."
Lin Fei accessed the system panel to check.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Realm: Early Stage Martial King
Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline: Perfection

Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline: Mastery (Progress 63%)
Saber World: Perfection
Lin Fei had perfected two bloodlines. However, the Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline was only at the mastery stage. It was still some distance from transcendence.
"There are too few Yin-attribute fire Dao Divine Abilities. It seems that collecting these Divine Abilities won't be easy this time. I may need more time."
Just as Lin Fei was about to leave the Divine Ability Tower,
"Saber King. Today, Mountain King and Daoist Lord Qianhe visited together to see you. They mentioned they had urgent matters to discuss. We have ushered them to the main hall. Would you like to meet them?"
A member of the Xiao family reported.
"Mountain King? And the Daoist Lord Qianhe?"
Lin Fei pondered. He was unfamiliar with Mountain King, but he remembered the Daoist Lord Qianhe. He had once fought against this Nascent Soul cultivator. Although Lin Fei had set the matter aside, unexpectedly, he had come to him.
"Let's go meet them and see what they want."
Lin Fei decided.
Soon, Lin Fei arrived in the main hall. He instantly recognized the Daoist Lord Qianhe given their past altercation. Beside him must be the Mountain King.
"Mountain King. Daoist Lord Qianhe. Why have you come?" Lin Fei asked directly.
Mountain King glanced at the Taoist Lord and said with a smile, "Lord of the Ancient Origin, I'm here as a mediator for the Daoist Lord Qianhe. The previous conflict between you and him at Taiyi Dao Palace was a misunderstanding. He was deceived by the Taiyi Dao Palace, which led to the fight. But he realizes he shares some blame. That's why he sought me out, hoping to reconcile with you."
Mountain King spoke candidly.
"Reconciliation?" Lin Fei glanced at the Taoist Lord and calmly said, "Daoist Lord Qianhe, what did you receive from Taiyi Dao Palace back then?"
"A bottle of Grand Yin Moonlight Divine Water."
Daoist Lord Qianhe responded with a bitter smile, "I'm willing to give this divine water to the Ancient Origin Saber King."
Lin Fei, unfamiliar with the Grand Yin Moonlight Divine Water, listened as Qianhe explained its rarity and value.
To Lin Fei, however, it held little appeal.
"I'm not interested in the Grand Yin Moonlight Divine Water," Lin Fei responded indifferently.
His words revealed his stance. Reconciliation was possible, but the Qianhe needed to offer something more enticing. At least, something that piqued Lin Fei's interest.
At that moment, Mountain King remarked with a smile, "Ancient Origin Saber King, the Daoist Lord Qianhe has come expressly to apologize to you. Furthermore, he comes with genuine sincerity! He offers eleven spots to the 'Tuyuan Mystical Realm' exclusively for the Lord of the Ancient Origin Saber."
"Tuyuan Mystical Realm?" Lin Fei was unfamiliar with such a term.
"Tuyuan Mystical Realm is a unique, smaller dimension," explained Mountain King. "Within, treasures abound that greatly benefit both the Martial Sovereigns and those of the Golden Core. The major powers vie fervently for spots in this realm. These spots, in essence, relate to a myriad of complexities, but most directly, to some 'Elemental Pattern Tokens'.
These tokens are finite in number, each acquired either through serendipitous fortune or strategic means. A single token grants one entry. For this occasion, the Daoist Lord Qianhe has secured thirteen spots, representing thirteen of these Elemental Pattern Tokens. It's an accomplishment he achieved only after expending immense effort and time."
Lin Fei understood In simpler terms, the spots in this Realm held vast promise for the Martial Kings and those below the stage of Nascent Soul.
Indeed, if one were to acquire treasures within this realm, their skills and strength could advance dramatically. And the realm would unveil its secrets in merely three months' time.
Truly, this was a grand gesture. Moreover, Lin Fei was no longer a lone wanderer. He was a pillar of the Ancient Origin Sect. He had allies and friends. Not just him, but those around him would benefit too. The sect would prosper. This Tuyuan Mystical Realm was certainly worth exploring.
"Daoist Lord Qianhe, your intentions are indeed noble!" Lin Fei declared gracefully, "I accept the tokens for the Realm of Elemental Patterns. Enemies at first, perhaps now we may consider each other acquaintances."
It was a reconciliation with the Daoist Lord Qianhe. Joy swelled in the heart of the Daoist Lord Qianhe. Though he had paid a significant price, his objectives had been met.
Mountain King was equally elated. Suddenly, he inquired, "Lord of the Ancient Origin, have you not received an invitation from the Martial God Alliance?"
