375. Martial King Celebration
Lin Fei shook his head, discarding the peculiar thought in his mind. Now that he had acquired his second bloodline, he thought, "Let's give it a try."
Standing up, Lin Fei took a step forward, directly entering the void.
"Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline!"
In the next moment, Lin Fei let out a low roar, instantly activating the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline within him.
"Boom."
Lin Fei's body began to expand rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a colossal giant that spanned thousands of miles, towering in the void.
However, this time, Lin Fei's True Martial King Form differed from the previous Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline. Gone was the sharp aura of a saber blade, replaced by a more vast and elusive presence. Patterns on his body seemed twisted and shimmering.
"Is this the Martial King's true form after activating the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline?"
Lin Fei stretched out his hand. The sensation was peculiar. With a simple grasp, it felt as though he could capture the "wind" in his hand.
"Whoosh..."
Opening his mouth, Lin Fei blew out, instantly causing a fierce wind that turned into a massive tornado, obscuring the skies and rampaging in the void. It was as if Lin Fei had transformed into the ruler of the wind. Every move carried the power of the wind.
Moreover, it wasn't just any wind, but the Grand Yin Wind, more terrifying than bone-corroding wind. It's an upgraded version of the bone-corroding wind. The places passed by the Grand Yin Wind became extremely cold, freezing everything in its path.
A bloodline is so powerful it could change the colors of heaven and earth. Yet, that was just a side effect or rather, a feature of the "Grand Yin". What Lin Fei sought was speed, a speed that could rival teleportation techniques.
"Whoosh."
In the next moment, the massive figure of Lin Fei vanished. He then appeared at the other end of the void.
" All Wind Dao Divine Abilities, integrate into my bloodline! My bloodline flows continuously, and you never cease!"
As Lin Fei's words faded, rays of Divine Abilities were instantly absorbed into his body. One, two, three, four, five... He integrated only eleven Wind Dao Divine Abilities, and most of these were Lesser Divine Abilities.
"Are there no more Wind Dao Divine Abilities?"
Lin Fei frowned, glancing at the system to check his progress with the Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline. He had only achieved mastery, with just an 11% progress. Reaching transcendence seemed far off, not to mention perfection. To achieve perfection, he'd need to integrate numerous Wind Dao Divine Abilities, preferably those of the Grand Yin nature, for the best results.
However, there were no more Wind Dao Divine Abilities left in the Ancient Origin Sect. The territories currently controlled by the Ancient Origin Sect, including those of the Taiyi Dao Palace, were primarily devoted to immortality cultivation, with few dedicated to martial cultivation. Thus, if Lin Fei wanted to find more Wind Dao Divine Abilities, he would need to seek alternatives.
Lin Fei wasn't in a hurry. The threat from the Taiyi Dao Palace was now resolved, and he had achieved the status of Martial King. With eons at his disposal, he could afford to take a break. He didn't need to rush his cultivation.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. It was finally the day of the Ancient Origin Sect's Martial King celebration.
Various factions from within the Ancient Origin Sect and nearby powers had already arrived to pay their respects and present their gifts. Several prestigious Martial King families were also invited. Being fellow martial artists, it was customary to extend invitations. Among the attendees was an acquaintance of Lin Fei, Xiao Yuchen from the Xiao family, a renowned Martial King lineage. But now, as an old friend of Lin Fei, she was invited into Lin Fei's residence.
"I pay my respects to the Martial King!" Xiao Yuchen said, looking at Lin Fei with a complex expression. The Xiao family knew about her rapport with Lin Fei, so she was chosen to represent them. Xiao Yuchen looked at Lin Fei, her feelings a mix of awe and disbelief that he had genuinely become a Martial King.
"Aurora Sovereign, why the formalities between us?" Lin Fei remarked upon seeing her. The two had met several times before, but the difference in their statuses was now starkly evident.
"Who could've imagined that after just a few months of our parting, Sovereign Lin would ascend to the rank of Martial King," she mused. "It's truly unbelievable."
Even now, Xiao Yuchen found it hard to accept the reality before her. Yet, there was no denying it: Lin Fei had become a Martial King.
Lin Fei responded with a slight smile, "Rest assured, Aurora Sovereign. I remember the promise I made to you about helping you get through the Martial King Tower. Although I can't assist with that now, mentioning my name in connection with you and the Xiao family would allow you an exception to enter the blood pool should not be an issue. I won't go back on my word."
He remembered his promise to Xiao Yuchen. Even though he couldn't assist with the Martial King Tower, he could still help her enter the blood pool. Lin Fei believed the Xiao family would honor his request, especially since it would also benefit them.
Xiao Yuchen took a deep breath and, with determination, said, "Lin... Brother Lin! I don't need to enter the blood pool. I hope you can give me another opportunity and assist me once."
"What do you need? If it doesn't go against my principles, I will gladly assist you," Lin Fei replied calmly. There were limits to the favors he would do, especially if they conflicted with his principles.
