201. The cier shatters, exotic beast reappears!


    Inside the cave dwelling of Lin Fei at the Nine Profound Sect.


    "You''re saying that the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth is gradually decreasing? Even to the point where, in the end, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth might be extremely scarce?"


    In front of Lin Fei, the Sky Reaching Tower was hovering. Ever since he crushed the Ten Major Immortal Sects, he had been staying in the Nine Profound Sect.


    Many questions about the Immortal Sects, The tower spirit of the Sky Reaching Tower could provide Lin Fei with answers.


    The tower spirit replied: "Yes, although I have been asleep for most of the time and can''t leave the Sky Reaching Sect. But during my six thousand years, I''ve also woken up many times. Each time I wake up, I feel that the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth has decreased a lot. Up to this time, I find that the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth has actually be so scarce. You must know that in the era of Tongming, the old ghost, there could be cultivators who could form a golden core. But what about now? Don''t even mention the golden core, even Foundation Establishment is difficult."


    Lin Fei was digesting what the spirit of the Sky Reaching Tower had said.


    Golden Core! That''s above Foundation Establishment.


    ording to the spirit of the Sky Reaching Tower, once the golden core is achieved, one can live for a thousand years!


    As for martial arts, above Martial Saint, there is the Sovereign, the Martial Sovereign! Once a martial artist bes a Sovereign, that''s equivalent to mastering one''s own "fate".


    Fate is also a kind of power. The cultivation of a martial artist''s body refining series ispletely different from that of the Immortal Dao, but they end up in the same ce.


    For example, there''s a saying about the golden core cultivators. Swallowing a golden core, I control my own fate, not dictated by the heavens!


    Whether it''s the golden core or the Sovereign, They both represent a qualitative leap. Even, it''s like going through another rebirth, taking control of one''s own destiny!


    However, as for how a Martial Sovereign mastered his own "fate", the spirit of the Sky Reaching Tower wasn''t clear.


    Because, even six thousand years ago, as far as the Sky Reaching Tower knew the Martial Sovereigns were few and far between. The number was even less than that of the Golden Core cultivators.


    As for the golden core, the Sky Reaching Tower knew a lot of information. For example, in order to condense a golden core, one must endure the heavenly tribtion. Only after experiencing the baptism of the heavenly tribtion can the spiritual power in one''s body condense into a golden core. Otherwise, one will never be able to condense a golden core.


    Below the golden core all are insignificant!


    Countless Foundation Establishment True Persons attempted to cross the tribtion, But all ended up reduced to ashes.


    In the six thousand years of the Sky Reaching Sect, There was only Tongming, the true person, who formed a golden core. Moreover, after achieving the golden core, Tongming hastily left, saying he was going to pursue the Great Dao. He only left behind the Taoist session and the Sky Reaching Tower.


    "You are a magic treasure that has survived the heavenly tribtion. ording to your division of cultivators. You should belong to the golden core level of magic treasure. But why was a golden core level magic treasure, with the power of the golden core level, injured by my saber? Even, possibly shattered by me?"


    Lin Fei coldly looked at the Sky Reaching Tower in front of him. This Sky Reaching Tower indeed was an incredibly magical treasure. Not only was it an integrated attack and defense, but most importantly, a huge internal space was inside the Sky Reaching Tower, which could store many things. This was quite fascinating.


    Lin Fei destroyed the Ten Major Immortal Sects. None of the other nine major Immortal Sects had magic treasures simr to the Sky Reaching Tower.


    The spirit of the Sky Reaching Tower said with a wry smile: "I have indeed survived the heavenly tribtion and possess the power at the golden core level. But I am a magic treasure. To disy the power at the golden core level, certainly requires spiritual power at the golden core level. But in the Sky Reaching Sect, there is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator left. His bit of spiritual power can''t even bring out one-tenth of my might.


    Although I, as a spirit, can also independently operate the Sky Reaching Tower, I still can''t disy one hundred percent of its power, I can probably only disy about twenty to thirty percent of its power. As for why you, master, could shatter me, I am also at a loss.


    All I can say is, your saber essence is truly miraculous. It has integrated the saber intent, saber momentum, innate power, spiritual qi, and so on, eventually forming apletely new power.


    Although this new power is not as good as the power of the golden core of a Golden Core True Person. Or not as strong as the power of a Martial Sovereign, it surpasses an average Martial Saint or Foundation Establishment True Person And I can''t fully exert the power of the Sky Reaching Tower, so that''s why it could be shattered by your saber essence."


    Lin Fei understood. However, he was also slightly amazed in his heart. So, his saber essence is actually so miraculous? It''s even only slightly inferior to the power of the golden core of a Golden Core True Person. Even a golden core level magic treasure that has survived the heavenly tribtion can be shattered.


    Tongming left behind the Taoist session and the Sky Reaching Tower. At the level of the Martial Saint and Foundation Establishment, they couldn''t break the Sky Reaching Tower. This statement wasn''t wrong.


    But who could have thought Lin Fei possesses this peculiar power of "saber essence"? And the saber essence was cultivated from the True Intention Scroll. Initially, it was saber qi, andter transformed into saber essence. Even the founding master of the Nine Profound Sect who created the True Intention Scroll wouldn''t have been aware of this.


    After all, the founding master of the Nine Profound Sect was just an innate grand perfection back then. He didn''t be a Martial Saint. How could he know that practicing the True Intention Scroll to the Martial Saint level would bring about such a terrifying change?


    Of course, this was also because Lin Fei hadprehended the saber momentum. Without the saber momentum''s saber essence, there''s no way it could possess such terrifying power.


    "Tower Spirit, you mentioned that True Person Tongming has left. Where did he depart from?" Lin Fei inquired further.


    At present, his strength was at its zenith, advancing no further. Naturally, he needed to seek a method of departure.


    "Tongming, the old ghost, seemed to have mentioned that he could only leave by sea. As for the specific reason, I''m uncertain."


    "By sea?"


    Lin Fei recalled the Northern Territory. That expanse of ciers! Boundless. Back when he was still an Innate Martial Artist, even approaching the cier posed a risk. But now, things were different. He wanted to see if he could pass through the cier and leave the Great Chang.


    Lin Fei had a hunch. There seemed to be a secret beneath that cier.


    "Store!"


    Lin Fei brought the tower into his body. Afterward, without notifying anyone, he directly took a step forward. In an instant, he transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the horizon.


    A few hourster, Lin Fei arrived at Extreme North City. Having be a Martial Saint, he could walk on air. Naturally, his speed was far superior to his previous days as a Martial Master.


    As long as he wished, Lin Fei could reach any part of the Great Chang in a short time.


    Silently, Lin Fei flew out of the Extreme North City. Guided by the memories in his mind, he trudged on through the snowfield. This time, he sessfully beheld the cier.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Fei looked down at the cier. Therey huge footprints. Moreover, the surroundings looked as if they had been turned upside down. The flesh of the Exotic Beast he had in before was buried underground. But now it was nowhere to be found. Seeing the entire snowfield, pitted and scarred, as if leveled.


    A thought shed through Lin Fei''s mind.


    This was probably not the work of Shen Lianxin or Liu Yibai. Most likely, an even more terrifying Exotic Beast had visited.


    Liu Yibai had mentioned this before. Beneath the cier lived adult Exotic Beasts. Chances were an adult Exotic Beast had been here and it had taken away the Exotic Beast''s flesh.


    Lin Fei didn''t ponder much. His circumstances had vastly improved. Even if he encountered an adult Exotic Beast, so what? He could y it. He arrived at the edge of the cier. Beneath this boundless cier was an incredibly frigid ice river. Moreover, inner power, the spiritual power of a Qi Condensation cultivator, and so forth, upon the cier, all would freeze. This was truly a forbidden zone for life!


    However, Lin Fei was now a Martial Saint. He could try his luck.


    "Shoo".


    Lin Fei unleashed a Saber Essence. In an instant, it flew above the cier.


    "Crack".


    The Saber Essence shed into the cier, causing a crevice to form. The Saber Essence was not frozen.


    "Indeed, Martial Saints or Established Foundation cultivator can traverse the cier. I''m curious to see where this cier ends."


    Lin Fei''s countenance was tranquil. Without any hesitation, he took a step forward.


    "Whoosh".


    Lin Fei''s footstep was on the cier.


    Cold! Unspeakably cold!


    When Lin Fei stepped onto the cier, even with the protection of his Saber Essence, even though his Dao Body was extremely robust, he could still feel the cold. The Saber Essence within his body was even somewhat impeded in its cirction. However, he could withstand it in the end.


    Thus, Lin Fei quickened his pace. Now Lin Fei could cover three hundred meters distance with one step. The speed was unimaginable.


    One step, two steps, three steps...


    Lin Fei lost count of the steps he took. Looking back, he could no longer see the snowfield on the shore. Yet, there was still no end in sight for the cier.


    "Crack, crack".


    At that moment, numerous cracks appeared on the hard cier. Dense, like a spiderweb, as if something terrifying beneath the cier was striking it, attempting to break out.


    Lin Fei''s figure ascended into the void. He coldly watched the cier below.


    "Rumble".


    Finally, the cier broke open. A terrifying beast, more than three hundred meters tall, burst out from beneath the ice river. Its formidable aura rushed toward Lin Fei like a tidal wave.


    Upon seeing this Exotic Beast, Lin Fei''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    Familiar. This Exotic Beast was too familiar!


    Its appearance was almost identical to the Exotic Beast that Lin Fei, Shen Lianxin, and Liu Yibai had killed previously. The only difference was this Exotic Beast was several timesrger than the previous one. It looked even more terrifying.


    "Adult Exotic Beast!"


    A thought shed through Lin Fei''s mind. He had a rough guess about this Exotic Beast''s identity. Most likely, it was the parent of the Exotic Beast that helped him achieve his Martial Saint status. This was a truly mature Exotic Beast on par with a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
