450. Return to the Feng Family, The Astonishment of Feng Ling!

Having retracted the Saber World, Lin Fei descended amidst the Kun clan, who were left in a state of disarray. They had not perished, yet their countenances bore expressions of bewilderment, torn between relief and sorrow.

The giant Kun, their ancestor, had fallen, having attempted to devour them in a bid to regain their strength.

Lin Fei paid them no heed and addressed the Azure Flood Dragon King and Green King, "Let's go. I shall escort you to Great Chang first."

Thus, Lin Fei, accompanied by the Azure Flood Dragon King and Green King, returned to Great Chang.

To Green King, Lin Fei said, "Green King, I am aware of your desire to transform into a dragon. However, without my permission, you shall not undertake the transformation. Stay with the Azure Flood Dragon King in Great Chang and guard it for ten years. After all, even if you attempt to transform into a dragon, success is not guaranteed. Perhaps one day, if I become a Martial God, I might lend you a helping hand."

Green King looked at Lin Fei, then bowed respectfully, saying, "I will heed Master's command!" Indeed, Green King knew well that transforming into a dragon was no easy feat. If Lin Fei were to achieve Martial God status, perhaps he truly could assist in its transformation.

Satisfied, Lin Fei recognized that while the Azure Flood Dragon King might not be the strongest, the Green King was a different matter. With its rich True Dragon bloodline, few under the divine level could rival Green King. With both the Green King and the Azure Flood Dragon King guarding the seas of Great Chang, the area was as secure as a fortress.

Contented, Lin Fei swiftly departed from Great Chang and headed back to the ancient continent, to the Ancient Origin Sect and the Feng family, ready to deeply ponder and seek his own Dao.

At the Feng family, the Feng Ling waited quietly day after day. Her cultivation had plateaued, so she focused on maintaining her condition, ready to attempt breaking through to Martial Gods at any moment.

As a descendant of the Phoenix bloodline, she followed the Phoenix's path, which provided a clear Dao for her to walk. Her success, however, depended on her own fate. Yet she refrained from attempting to ascend to Martial Gods, for she was waiting for Lin Fei to join with her in a yin-yang union.

Even if there were a gap, Lin Fei might well help Green King achieve it. Thus, unbeknownst to Green King, its fate was not misfortune but perhaps a stroke of good luck.

On the contrary, Green King was fortunate to have encountered Lin Fei. Without Lin Fei, Green King's forced transformation into a dragon through the consumption of exotic beasts and the accumulation of True Dragon essence blood would likely have ended in failure. The difficulty of such a transformation was evident from the Azure Flood Dragon King, who had never considered it. This highlighted the immense challenge of becoming a dragon.

"Feng Ling, do you know of the Divine Realm?" Lin Fei inquired. "The Kun's final words pose a threat. If it truly returns from the Divine Realm, we could be in trouble."

The Feng Ling hesitated before shaking her head, admitting that there were no records of the Divine Realm in her family's archives. She suggested consulting the Phoenix, who might have knowledge of it. Given the Phoenix's current situation, trapped in a small world and reliant on Lin Fei for release, it was unlikely to withhold information or deceive like Kun might have.

Lin Fei, however, decided against immediate action. "There's no rush. Understanding the Divine Realm now serves no purpose. Once I achieve Martial Gods, I'll inquire with the Phoenix about the specifics." He pondered the crucial question of what 'Dao' truly meant for a Martial King aspiring to become a Martial God.

"Lin Fei, our Feng family has extensive records about Martial Gods," the Feng Ling offered. "You could consult them."

"Very well, deliver everything to my secret chamber. Starting today, I shall seclude myself. I will emerge from seclusion once I have gained enlightenment."

Lin Fei gritted his teeth and made a decision. If he wanted to become a Martial God, he had to achieve enlightenment. But first, he needed to understand what Dao truly was. Perhaps, this would take a considerable amount of time. Yet, this was also a part of cultivation.

Moreover, time was on Lin Fei's side now. And so, Lin Fei entered his secret chamber. Alone.

The door was tightly sealed. Not even Feng Ling would enter.

This was truly a crucial period of seclusion for Lin Fei!
