289. Deal with Xiao Yuchen


    As days passed by, following the farcical intervention of the Soul Hook True Person, the core region of Corpse Demon Mountain remained profoundly serene. After all, all who ventured to Corpse Demon Mountain sought to cultivate their skills. There was no need for unnecessary diversions, especially to provoke formidable adversaries.


    Suddenly, one day, a Life Wheel abruptly manifested behind Lin Fei. Upon this Life Wheel shone a light symbolizing Divine Ability.


    At that very moment, the radiance brilliantly intensified, growing so luminously that the entire Life Wheel appeared to erge by a measure. Simultaneously, an overwhelming force spread near the entire Yin Evil Array. Many, affected by this force, opened their eyes. Being suppressed by the might of the Life Wheel was far from pleasant.


    Swiftly, Lin Fei opened his eyes as well.


    <strong>"Your Divine Ability, ck Wind Prison, after a month of diligent cultivation, has finally achieved perfection!"</strong>


    The voice of the system echoed in Lin Fei''s mind.


    "System."


    Lin Fei summoned the system panel.


    <strong>Host: Lin Fei</strong>


    <strong>Martial Arts Realm: Early Martial Sovereign</strong>


    <strong>Great Divine Ability: ck Wind Prison: Perfection</strong>


    <strong>Saber Domain: Beginner (Progress 0%)</strong>


    Indeed, Lin Fei''s ck Wind Prison had reached perfection. Furthermore, the subsequent cultivation progress was absent. This indicated that there was no room for even the slightest improvement in ck Wind Prison. Unless he began cultivating a second Divine Ability. And if he wished to enhance his realm and strength, he would have to proceed with a second Divine Ability.


    Lin Fei retracted the Life Wheel. He leaped down from the zombie pir. Given that ck Wind Prison was perfected, there was no further need for the Yin Evil Qi for Lin Fei. Staying atop the zombie pir became redundant.


    As Lin Fei descended from the zombie pir, suddenly, thedy in red spoke, "Congrattions on perfecting your Divine Ability! If I''m not mistaken, having perfected your first Divine Ability, you''re preparing to cultivate a second one, aren''t you? Do you have any ns for this second Divine Ability? You must understand, for us, the Martial Sovereigns, if the mere aim is to rapidly enhance strength, then any Divine Ability would suffice. But if one aspires to attain the title of Martial King, then the choice of Divine Ability must be made judiciously."


    Lin Fei paused. He turned around, directing his gaze at thedy in red.


    "What do you suggest?"


    While Lin Fei was unfamiliar with thedy in red, he knew only that she bore the "Bloodline of the Martial King." Her origins and identity were undoubtedly profound.


    With a swift motion, thedy in red descended. She cast her gaze around the surroundings, stating calmly, "Corpse Demon Mountain is not a ce for conversation. We should depart from here first."


    Without hesitation, thedy in red transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the outskirts of Corpse Demon Mountain.


    Intrigued by what she might say, Lin Fei likewise became a radiant streak, following closely behind her. Quickly, one after the other, they left the boundaries of Corpse Demon Mountain.


    Thedy in rednded in an open space, no longer surrounded by the ominous Yin Evil Qi, she seemed to breathe a little easier. With a swish, Lin Fei appeared before her.


    Nodding slightly, thedy in red introduced herself, "From the Martial King''s lineage, I am Xiao Yuchen."


    "Lin Fei."


    He simply stated his name, withholding details of his origin. Xiao Yuchen did not press further.


    "Sovereign Lin," she began, "I possess a top-tier Great Divine Ability here. It''s truly extraordinary. If Sovereign Lin aspires to be a Martial King, this particr Divine Ability will undoubtedly exceed your expectations."


    Xiao Yuchen straightforwardly revealed the existence of the Divine Ability - a top-tier Great Divine Ability.


    For most ordinary Martial Sovereigns, the allure of such an ability isn''t strong. Some might even find it entirely unattractive. Because, to many, they remain Martial Sovereigns all their life. Even when presented with a top-tier Great Divine Ability, they cannot cultivate it.


    Most Martial Sovereigns often cultivate Lesser Divine Abilities. Fewer still attempt to cultivate Great Divine Abilities, let alone a top-tier Great Divine Ability. However, for those Martial Sovereigns with ambitions of bing a Martial King, the allure of such an ability is undeniably immense.


    "What sort of Divine Ability is this?" Lin Fei inquired.


    "Divine Ability - Gravity Domain," she exined. "In essence, this Divine Ability attempts to emte the Domain of a Martial Sovereign. However, in its failed emtion, a new Divine Ability was inadvertently created. Upon its activation, this Divine Ability exerts gravitational forces, creating a domain-like sphere. Though not a true domain, within the Gravity Domain''s influence, one''s adversaries would be subjected to unimaginable gravitational pressure.


    No matter their number, all would be suppressed. This Divine Ability is already fearsome in its own right. But for Sovereign Lin, it might be even more fitting. Given that Sovereign Lin possesses the Saber Domain, thebined usage with the Gravity Domain Divine Ability might produce power of an inconceivable magnitude."


    Lin Fei''s eyes sparkled with interest. Indeed, this Divine Ability was exceptional. He instantly envisioned its synergistic potential with his own Saber Domain. Its power would surge dramatically. This was truly a Divine Ability well-suited for Lin Fei.


    "What do you want me to do?" Lin Fei asked directly. It was clear that Xiao Yuchen wouldn''t offer such a top-tier Great Divine Ability without a reason. She must want something from Lin Fei.


    "It''s simple. Apany me back to the Xiao family and help me pass a level in the Martial King Tower," Xiao Yuchen responded. "If you can clear one level of the Martial King Tower, this Divine Ability will be yours."


    "Martial King Tower?" Lin Fei voiced, unfamiliar with the term.


    "It''s a tower my Xiao family''s Martial King spent a thousand years building. The first level of the Martial King Tower only allows a Martial Sovereign who cultivates a single Divine Ability to enter. Once the level is cleared, I can immerse myself in the family''s Blood Pool and receive its baptism. This might awaken my Martial King Bloodline once more. The awakening of the Martial King Bloodline is crucial for me, but Ick the power to clear the first level. With your Saber Domain, you should face little difficulty in passing it. Additionally, you only have a single Divine Ability, meeting the requirements of the tower''s first level."


    Understanding dawned on Lin Fei. It was a transaction. If Lin Fei clears the Martial King Tower, he will obtain the Divine Ability, Gravity Domain.


    "But I have a question," Lin Fei interjected. "Such a prized and top-tier Great Divine Ability as Gravity Domain, is the Xiao family fine with you freely passing it on? And why aren''t you cultivating this Divine Ability yourself?"


    Xiao Yuchen shook her head, exining, "Gravity Domain is not the Xiao family''s Divine Ability. I obtained it during my external adventures. As for not cultivating it, there''s no need. I possess the Martial King Bloodline. I simply need to awaken the Divine Abilities within this bloodline and cultivate the nine Divine Abilities step by step. This way, I can achieve the Martial King status. It''s a path already paved by my ancestors. If I were to cultivate other Divine Abilities, there''s uncertainty in theirpletion and my path to bing a Martial King."


    Lin Fei fell silent upon hearing her words. This was his first time hearing of the benefits of the Martial King Bloodline. It means methodically inheriting the Divine Abilities within one''s bloodline. Once all nine Divine Abilities are perfected, bing a Martial King is a certainty!


    This is as if the Martial King has already paved the way for their descendants. This is the advantage of the Martial King Bloodline - a clear path to achieving Martial King status. Just awaken the Divine Abilities within one''s bloodline.


    Xiao Yuchen desires to enter the Blood Pool because it can stimte her bloodline, increasing the chances of awakening it. The Divine Abilities inherited from the bloodline,pared to cultivating one independently, are worlds apart.


    To cultivate on one''s own and achieve perfection is almost impossible, akin to ascending to the heavens. Inheriting and cultivating the Divine Abilities within one''s bloodline makes it significantly easier.


    Lin Fei finally understood. He realized why the families of Martial Kings continued to thrive. In contrast, the families of Martial Saints would gradually decline if they lost their Martial Saint. The differencey in the fact that the descendants of the Martial King could inherit the Martial King Bloodline!


    "Deal! I will pass the first level of the Martial King Tower," Lin Fei dered. "In exchange, you will give me the Divine Ability Gravity Domain."


    In the end, he decisively agreed. Although the Ancient Origin Sect possessed top-tier Great Divine Abilities, a Divine Ability like Gravity Domain wasn''t something one came across casually. Since he had encountered it, he needed to seize the opportunity to obtain it. Besides, Xiao Yuchen''s conditions were not particrly strict. Lin Fei believed he should be able to pass the first level of the Martial King Tower.


    "Alright, let''s head back to the Xiao family as soon as possible," Xiao Yuchen said, showing a hint of eagerness.


    Her initial trip to the Corpse Demon Mountain was to refine a treasure using the Yin Evil Qi. Unexpectedly, her most significant gain turned out to be meeting Lin Fei – a Martial Sovereign with the Saber Domain and only one Divine Ability. This was a fortunate encounter that was hard toe by. She believed that her moment of destiny had arrived!
