454. The Power of Origin, The Secret of Dao Integration!
This strand of energy was both foreign and familiar to Lin Fei.
Foreign, because he had seldom encountered it - this being almost his first, now second time experiencing it. Yet, familiar, because not long ago, Lin Fei had witnessed a vast expanse of terrifying energy akin to an ocean.
The Sea of Origin!
Indeed, this sliver of power was what Lin Fei had drawn into his body from the Sea of Origin, causing his physical form to collapse. But his body had already disintegrated. How could the power of Origin still be inside him?
Lin Fei's expression underwent a drastic change. He was acutely aware of the danger. He would have preferred not to possess this sliver of Origin power, for even a slight misstep could cause his body to collapse again. If Lin Fei's body were to collapse this time, he would not be able to rise from the ashes again. In other words, he would surely die!
"Wait, rise from the ashes?"
Lin Fei seemed to have a realization. He had indeed risen from the ashes before. His body, brought to the brink of collapse by the power of Origin, had undergone a rebirth of fire.
Consequently, he was "resurrected". Could it be that after the power of Origin caused his body to collapse, Lin Fei resurrected through the power of rebirth by fire, but that sliver of Origin's power remained within his body?
What to do in such a situation? Lin Fei was somewhat bewildered. This was the first time he had encountered such a scenario. It was beyond his understanding. Even consulting Feng Ling would be futile. Lin Fei thought of Dubhe. The spirit of Dubhe, well-informed and wise as a Dao Artifact, should have some solution.
"Dubhe." Lin Fei immediately summoned Dubhe.
"Master," Dubhe greeted respectfully.
"Dubhe, there is a strand of Origin's power within my body..."Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
If it were possible, Lin Fei would undoubtedly remove it. Unfortunately, as Dubhe had mentioned, only a Dao Integration True Immortal-level being could extract this strand of Origin power from his body.
Lin Fei pondered and decided to confine the Origin power within his body, securely trapping it so that no external force could reach it. Though he avoided stimulating the Origin power, this measure temporarily alleviated the danger within his body.
"With the bodily risk temporarily resolved, does this mean I can attempt to reach Martial Gods again?" Lin Fei wondered. Initially, he had planned to stabilize himself and try to reach Martial Gods after some time, especially after his recent failure. He thought it prudent to reflect on his experiences and adjust his state.
But after Dubhe's explanation, Lin Fei understood the instability of the Origin power within him. It could only potentially become an asset during his Dao Integration. Otherwise, it remained a latent hazard.
Therefore, Lin Fei had to continue his cultivation, striving for Dao Integration as soon as possible to fully resolve the danger posed by the strand of Origin power.
"My physical body is strong, and I am in good condition," he affirmed. "There's no need for adjustment. Moreover, my recent attempt at reaching Martial Gods is still fresh in my mind. I should strike while the iron is hot and try again immediately! This time, I am fully aware of the steps to reach Martial Gods and am confident of success without fail!"
With this thought, Lin Fei couldn't contain his excitement. He was about to make another attempt at reaching Martial Gods. No need for adjustments. No need for summarizing experiences. He was already at his peak.
What adjustments were necessary? As for experience? It was all etched in his mind. The memory of failure was the best teacher. Lin Fei had already experienced failure, and the memory was still fresh.
Thus, Lin Fei flew out of the Dubhe Dao Artifact. Inside the artifact, it was impossible to sense the Origin.
"True Martial King Form! Nine Bloodlines! Merge!"
With a resounding "Boom," the next moment saw Lin Fei in the back mountains of the Feng family's domain. He didn't hesitate for a second and immediately began merging all nine bloodlines. It was an all-or-nothing gamble, with no room for retreat. He didn't even inform Feng Ling. It was a strategy to put himself in a do-or-die situation to foster growth!
This was to demonstrate his resolve! This was what Lin Fei had lacked in his first attempt at reaching Martial Gods - determination! The power of the mind! The spiritual strength of a martial artist!
