258. An invitation from Sect Leader.
"Agreed."
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Fei silently affirmed in his heart. A sudden "thud" echoed in his mind, immediately followed by a rush of memories. These were memories of the Rainbow Transformation Saber. From its basics to its beginner, and from its birth to the realization of the saber intent, culminating in its mastery stage. It felt as though Lin Fei had lived through it all himself. All the revelations and insights were instantly clear to him.
With a swift motion, Lin Fei's eyes shot open. He realized that these were, in fact, Hu Xiao's full comprehension of the Rainbow Transformation Saber. They were "drawn out" by Hu Xiao's saber intent and flawlessly integrated into Lin Fei's Rainbow Transformation Saber Technique.
"Your martial art, the Rainbow Transformation Saber Technique, has perfectly merged with the Rainbow Transformation Saber's saber intent."
"You've grasped the saber intent from your Rainbow Transformation Saber Technique, reaching its mastery stage."
The system's voice reverberated in Lin Fei's mind.
"Elder Lin, I have demonstrated it all. You..."
Hu Xiao looked up, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes. After his demonstration of the Rainbow Transformation Saber's saber intent, Lin Fei had remained still, seemingly lost in thought.
"It's done. Your task is complete. Head to the Task Hall to claim your reward."
Lin Fei finally spoke, his gaze steady as it met Hu Xiao's.
"The task... is complete?"
Hu Xiao paused, taken aback. That was worth three thousand contribution points! Even as a true disciple, he had to undertake missions, particularly complex ones, to potentially earn that many points.
And now? Merely demonstrating the Rainbow Transformation Saber's saber intent, he had completed the task and earned three thousand points!?
However, Lin Fei was an Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall and a Limit Martial Saint, Hu Xiao naturally trusted his words.
"Then, I shall take my leave!"
With that, Hu Xiao promptly exited the cave dwelling.
Lin Fei watched his retreating figure. Hu Xiao's saber intent from the Rainbow Transformation Saber seamlessly integrated with Lin Fei's technique. Of course, this had no effect on Hu Xiao. Should Hu Xiao remain driven, relying on his own insights, there was still a chance for his Rainbow Transformation Saber's saber intent to transcend, even achieve perfection.
But for Lin Fei, this was profoundly significant. Having reached the mastery stage meant that Lin Fei was one step closer to evolving his Saber Momentum.
Rainbow Transformation Saber Technique: Saber Intent: Mastery (Progress 32%)
Saber Momentum: Transcendence (Progress 0%)
All three Martial Saint-level saber techniques had birthed their own saber intent. Although they were still in the Mastery stages, as long as he reached saber intent, Lin Fei had a method to enhance them. The method Lin Fei employed was simple: honing the saber intent. Using stronger saber intents to constantly refine the three types of saber intents.
Back when Lin Fei was at the Nine Profound Sect, this was the method he utilized to elevate his saber intent. At that time, he needed to seek out other saber intents and spar with others. Now, he didn't need to. Within Lin Fei's Saber Momentum, there were countless perfected saber intents. If one type of saber intent wasn't sufficient, then two, three, four... He could use as many as he desired.
Under such circumstances, Lin Fei's three saber intents were honed daily, making steady progress. While it was uncertain if he could achieve the state of evolving Saber Momentum, under the relentless daily refinement of numerous saber intents, reaching transcendence should not be a problem.
Time passed swiftly. Lin Fei immersed himself in his chamber, refining his saber intents day after day. This was something Lin Fei couldn't skip over. He had already condensed the Energy Flower and Qi Flower. Only the Spirit Flower was left. Only by achieving perfection in Saber Momentum could he attempt to condense the Spirit Flower. As a result, Lin Fei had no choice but to keep honing his saber intent.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed. On this day, a Martial Saint appeared outside Lin Fei's chamber.
"Elder Lin, the Sect Master wishes to see you."
"Sect Master?"
Lin Fei opened his eyes. The Martial Saint was holding the Sect Master's decree, indeed representing the Sect Master. However, Lin Fei was slightly taken aback. Despite having been in the Ancient Origin Sect for quite some time, he had never met the Sect Master in person.
Even though Lin Fei had established quite a formidable reputation, he had only ever met the Chief of the Law Enforcement Hall, known as Wind Sovereign. Both the leader of the Ancient Origin Sect and Wind Sovereign held the esteemed title of Martial Sovereign.
Ordinarily, Lin Fei had no interactions with the Sect leader. However, a sudden summons from the leader now gave him pause. Surely, something significant must have transpired.
"Lead the way," Lin Fei commanded without hesitation, promptly rising to follow the martial saint.
"What might the Sect leader want with me?" Lin Fei inquired of the martial saint before him.
With a faint smile, the martial saint reassured, "Elder Lin, there is no cause for concern. It is likely good news. The Chief of the Law Enforcement Hall, Wind Sovereign, is currently with the Sect leader."
"Wind Sovereign?" A flicker of realization crossed Lin Fei's eyes. He had a vague inkling of why the leader might have called for him. It was probably at the behest of Wind Sovereign. After all, Wind Sovereign was well aware of Lin Fei's capabilities. If the leader had sought Lin Fei's presence, it undoubtedly concerned a grave matter pertaining to the Ancient Origin Sect. Still, Lin Fei refrained from overthinking. Meeting the Sect leader and Wind Sovereign would reveal all.
"We have arrived at the grand hall of the Ancient Origin Sect," the martial saint announced. "Elder Lin, please enter. Both the Sect leader and Wind Sovereign await inside."
Lin Fei, gazing upon the magnificent hall before him, didn't hesitate and stepped confidently inside.
