118. Grand Elder

118. Grand Elder

"Lin Fei, you didn't know? That day, when you were in the royal competition in Chang City, you drew your saber and killed the sixth-level Qi Condensation cultivator He Yunzi and gained quite a reputation among many martial artists.

Later, those martial artists called you the 'Immortal Slayer Saber' based on your past experience of killing two He Mountain Dao Qi Condensation cultivators who claimed to be disciples of the immortal sect. This should be your first title earned in the martial arts world, right?" The sect master said with a smile.

Immortal Slayer Saber, what a domineering name! However, it might cause discomfort to some people. For example, Qi cultivators! These cultivators claim to be immortal cultivators. Facing Lin Fei, the "Immortal Slayer Saber," any cultivator would hardly be pleased.

"Disciple, you have now reached the innate realm. What's the big deal about a title like 'Immortal Slayer Saber'? As martial artists, we fight against the heavens and the earth, so what's wrong with truly 'slaying immortals'? Besides, you have killed two high-level Qi Condensation cultivators of He Mountain Dao. Once this news spreads, it will probably further solidify your reputation as the 'Immortal Slayer Saber.'"

Master Zhao Kongming had a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. Satisfaction could be seen in his eyes.

"Huh? Master, Sect Master, you already knew about me killing the two high-level Qi Condensation cultivators of He Mountain Dao?"

Lin Fei raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit puzzled. He was about to report the incident of killing the two high-level Qi Condensation cultivators of He Mountain Dao to his master and the sect master. Unexpectedly, the sect master and his master seemed to have known it already.

"Lin Fei, this is a letter sent by the royal family through a carrier pigeon. You did have done a big thing, killing two high-level Qi Condensation cultivators of He Mountain Dao. But you don't need to worry about He Mountain Dao's retaliation.

The Royal Supreme Elder, a Foundation Establishment expert, has personally issued an order, commanding He Mountain Dao not to take any action against you. If He Mountain Dao defies the order, the royal family's Foundation Establishment ancestor will personally take action, flattening He Mountain Dao! Lin Fei, the Royal Supreme Elder has placed great expectations on you and it has also made our Nine Profound Sect owe the royal family a huge favor!"

Lin Fei was shocked. He knew that the royal family was trying to win him over. This was evident from the attitude of the three elders of the royal family. However, Lin Fei didn't expect that it would alarm the royal family's Foundation Establishment expert! That person was the royal family's pillar of support and it was not to be disturbed for trivial matters.

"Disciple, I have some doubts. Why would the Royal Supreme Elder attach so much importance to you? You must know that, no matter how strong you are, even if you reach the peak of a grandmaster, you are still a martial artist after all. And a Foundation Establishment expert would not pay so much attention to a martial artist," Zhao Kongming asked curiously.

Qi cultivators had a clear advantage over martial artists. This was a fact. Foundation Establishment experts would look down on martial artists even more. But the Royal Supreme Elder, in order to protect Lin Fei, even threatened He Mountain Dao, vowing to destroy the entire He Mountain Dao sect. This was more than just ordinary attention.

Lin Fei had some guesses in his heart. He raised his hand and said softly, "Perhaps, it's because of my Saber Qi."

"Saber Qi?"

The sect master and Zhao Kongming looked at each other. They had no impression of "Saber Qi."

"Master, take a look at this wisp of Saber Qi from me."

Lin Fei stretched out his finger.

Lin Fei took a deep breath. Then, he stretched out his hand.

"Slash!"

Lin Fei used his hand as a saber and slashed down instantly.

"Boom."

A thirty-meter-high saber energy burst out of Lin Fei's palm in an instant, condensed, and took shape, emitting a terrifyingly sharp aura. Then, the saber energy left Lin Fei's hand. It fell towards the ground of the main hall.

"Rumble."

The entire main hall shook violently as if a dragon was turning over beneath the ground. Of course, this didn't last long. It was only for an instant. Then, the thirty-foot-high saber energy directly split the ground open with a single slash, forming a huge crack.

From a distance, it looked like a giant saber had forcefully cleaved it open.

If the Saber Qi were even larger, for example, hundreds of meters, the entire mountain peak would likely be split in half with a single slash!

"It is said that a Martial Saint's strike can turn rivers and split mountains. I didn't believe it before. Now, I believe it..."

After a while, Zhao Kongming sighed deeply, his heart full of emotion.

"The founder was truly astonishing, creating such a terrifying technique. True Intention Scroll... It's a pity that this martial art is too difficult to practice. Entering the innate realm and comprehending Martial Dao True Intent at the same time is no easy task.

Of all the years in the Nine Profound Sect, only Lin Fei has met the cultivation requirements of the True Intention Scroll. However, the founder's foresight in not leaving this martial art within the Nine Profound Sect was the right choice. If the True Intention Scroll were to spread, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

The sect master immediately understood the concerns of the Nine Profound Sect's founder. The True Intention Scroll should be practiced only by those who are destined. It's not suitable for widespread promotion and publicity within the sect. Otherwise, it would bring endless trouble!

"Alright, Lin Fei. Now that you have become an innate martial artist, you should be a Master! There's absolutely no precedent in the Nine Profound Sect for an innate realm master who is still a disciple.

According to the rules of the Nine Profound Sect, any martial artist who advances to the innate realm, regardless of their status, can become a Grand Elder of the Nine Profound Sect. So, from today onwards, Elder Lin, you are the Grand Elder of the Nine Profound Sect!"

"Grand Elder?"

Lin Fei was slightly stunned. He was just a disciple a moment ago. And now, he was a Grand Elder! Could this be considered a meteoric rise?
