342. Pierce

Martial Sovereign didn't possess any magic treasures, and certainly none that were sharp, invincible, and capable of breaking through everything. Why did these qualities align with a needle-shaped magic treasure?

Lin Fei was keen on cultivating a new Divine Ability, not a treasure. So, were there any Divine Abilities that met these criteria? He started his search in the Divine Ability scriptures. It didn't have to be a perfect match, just something that had the characteristics he was looking for.

After some searching, he found a Divine Ability called "Splitting Light Saber". It could cultivate a saber aura named Splitting Light Aura. The essence of this ability was its speed, so swift that it was almost unpredictable. But what Lin Fei was truly interested in was a minor trait of this ability: penetrating.

The penetrating of the Splitting Light Aura was just an ancillary trait. The primary focus of the Divine Ability was its elusive speed. Ironically, Lin Fei wasn't as interested in the speed but was captivated by its ability to penetrate everything.

Lin Fei also came across another Divine Ability named "Astonishing Swan Finger". This technique was as fast as a startled swan and was labeled as a Lesser Divine Ability. However, its power was formidable, and its key characteristic was, once again, penetrating. If one couldn't dodge, they'd likely be pierced through. Both abilities had similar traits to some extent.

Lin Fei thought, "I'll use the Splitting Light Saber as a foundation and merge it with the Astonishing Swan Finger. I hope that by combining these, the penetrating traits of both will enhance the resulting Divine Ability's trait and make it truly unparalleled."

With that in mind, he began the process of merging the two Divine Abilities.

The energies hummed. Lin Fei had given careful instructions, hoping that both abilities would merge with a focus on their penetrating. This was a "Directed Fusion", something he hadn't attempted before. He was unsure if it would work.

However, as time passed, there were no signs of resistance between the two abilities. Instead, they seemed to harmonize, gradually merging into one. After an unknown period, Lin Fei noticed a significant surge in the brightness of the fused abilities. It meant the fusion had concluded.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Fei realized that the new Divine Ability was still a saber technique. But its characteristics had shifted from mere speed to an incredible sharpness, invincibility, and the ability to shatter anything.

Joy surged in Lin Fei's heart. He had succeeded in his directed fusion experiment. This success marked the first step in a new direction.

Having taken that step, Lin Fei was eager to continue exploring this newfound potential.

So, Lin Fei continued to merge with the Divine Ability.

The third, fourth, fifth...

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Mid-stage Martial Sovereign

Great Divine Ability: Black Wind Prison: Perfection

Great Divine Ability: Gravity Domain: Perfection

Great Divine Ability: Dual-World Saber: Perfection

Great Divine Ability: Annihilation: Perfection

Great Divine Ability: Undying Seal: Perfection

Great Divine Ability: Pierce: Beginner (Progress 5%)

Saber Domain: Transcendence (Progress 5%)

Lin Fei's sixth Divine Ability was, as expected, at the beginner stage. However, its cultivation progress was already at 5%. Just moments ago, when Lin Fei employed the Pierce Divine Ability, he had merely pierced his own palm and the Golden Core magic treasure, the Great Mountain Seal.

"Could it be that by using the Pierce Divine Ability to penetrate magic treasures or other objects, I can enhance the cultivation progress?" Lin Fei surmised that this might indeed be the case. If so, mastering the Pierce Divine Ability to perfection wouldn't seem too challenging.

"I wonder if the fully realized Pierce Divine Ability can breach the Great Mountain Divine Seal," Lin Fei pondered a possibility. If he could penetrate the Great Mountain Divine Seal, then, undoubtedly, he could break the protective array of the Taiyi Dao Palace. Once deprived of the Great Mountain Divine Seal and the sect formation, Lin Fei could effortlessly obliterate the entire Taiyi Dao Palace. However, without absolute confidence, he wouldn't recklessly confront the Taiyi Dao Palace.

"The sixth Divine Ability has reached the beginner stage," he reflected. "But to perfect it, more time is needed. It might be the right time to return to Great Chang..."

Lin Fei had made up his mind.
