Supreme Dao Sect's Plan

After activating Heaven-Defying Comprehension and comprehending Moon Rises Over the Sea, Lin Jiufeng immediately woke from that profound and mysterious state.

Rather than leaving the bottom of the lake, he lay there quietly and examined Moon Rises Over the Sea.

This was not a cultivation technique. It was a Vision.

Lin Jiufeng remembered reading a book that said heaven and earth recorded certain special moments—natural beauty, a segment of a powerful person's life, the epitome of an era...

Those recorded by heaven and earth were called Visions.

Visions existed between heaven and earth. Whether one could comprehend them depended entirely on one's own ability.

Of course, some people of immense fortune, or those blessed by fate, were born with Visions. Their futures were beyond measure.

The Moon Rises Over the Sea that Lin Jiufeng had comprehended was one such Vision.

The sea in Moon Rises Over the Sea was the Starry Sea. A bright moon rose from that Starry Sea, outshining All Heavenly Stars.

My Dao Rhyme is Fish Leaps in the Sea of Time. Now, with the Moon Rises Over the Sea Vision added to it, once the two are unleashed together, their power will surely be immense. Lin Jiufeng thought joyfully.

He immediately unleashed Moon Rises Over the Sea.

In an instant, the tranquil lake became a churning expanse of emerald waves, with towering breakers rolling skyward.

Then, a bright moon could be seen slowly rising from the waters.

Moonlight spilled across the sky above the lake, casting a sacred radiance and exuding terrifying pressure.

Moon Rises Over the Sea!

This bright moon could contend with the radiant moon in the heavens.

Beneath the bright moon, Lin Jiufeng walked upon the waves, carrying himself with an ethereal grace, like a Banished Immortal.

The next moment, Lin Jiufeng raised his hand and gently turned it over.

Boom!!!

Beneath that bright moon, a Big White Crucian Carp suddenly leaped from the churning emerald waters, Yin Yang in its eyes and the Dao of Nature in its bearing.

Fish Leaps in the Sea of Time!

Sure enough, Lin Jiufeng had guessed correctly. Moon Rises Over the Sea could be unleashed together with Fish Leaps in the Sea of Time. Moreover, when layered together, they became even more powerful.

"What a pity—I still haven't broken through the Seventh Restriction." Lin Jiufeng looked at the bright moon and the Big White Crucian Carp, letting out a soft sigh.

This insight into his Primordial Spirit and comprehension of Moon Rises Over the Sea had already brought him to the peak of the Sixth Restriction.

Yet he had not broken through the Seventh Restriction.

That was because he had yet to unearth the treasure within his Primordial Spirit and could not reach the Immortal Treasury of the Spiritual Platform.

Still, Lin Jiufeng only sighed briefly. If he had not broken through the Seventh Restriction this time, then there would be a next time.

His gains this time had already been immense. Lin Jiufeng did not linger further in the Small World, instead returning to the Scripture Pavilion with the books written by the patriarch.

The moment he returned to the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Jiufeng's Primordial Spirit spread out to see whether the three little ones were all right.

These three little ones were now the hope for the Feather Transformation Sect's legacy to continue, and he had personally taught them. Naturally, he worried about them staying alone in the Scripture Pavilion.

After all, the Feather Transformation Sect still faced the threat of the Supreme Dao Sect.

Especially after Bai Yunfei had slain Changsun Yu, an Eighth Restriction Dao Ancestor, and shocked the world, the Supreme Dao Sect had behaved entirely out of character and made no response whatsoever.

That was highly abnormal.

As the saying went, a biting dog did not bark.

If the Supreme Dao Sect had clamored as they charged in to kill, there would at least have been no need to worry. They could simply face them head-on.

But the Supreme Dao Sect had not said a single word. No one knew what mischief they were secretly brewing.

Naturally, Lin Jiufeng did not dare remain in the Small World for too long.

The three little ones were fine, so Lin Jiufeng returned to his study and continued reading.

Then, his days remained as simple as ever.

Lin Jiufeng spent most of his time in the Scripture Pavilion.

He cultivated, sought Enlightenment, nurtured his qi, practiced swordsmanship, practiced calligraphy, and savored tea.

He spent a small portion of his time entering the Small World, where he cultivated certain techniques. Even if it caused a commotion, it would not disturb Wen Xinyun and the other two.

And so, a month slipped quietly away.

The Great Dao was like an inn along the road; I, too, was merely a traveler.

During this time, Lin Jiufeng had been cultivating in quiet seclusion. He did not force himself to comprehend anything, nor did he stubbornly activate Heaven-Defying Comprehension. He merely accumulated in silence.

He believed that once his accumulation was sufficient, breaking through the Seventh Restriction would come as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

Outside the Scripture Pavilion, the trees were lush and verdant, while flowers and grass flourished.

Summer had arrived, and the temperature had risen, but inside the Scripture Pavilion, it was warm as spring. Lin Jiufeng had used his own magnetic field and state of mind to influence the Scripture Pavilion's feng shui.

As his Cultivation deepened and his cultivation level rose, Lin Jiufeng gradually came to understand such changes in magnetic fields.

Everyone possessed a magnetic field. An ordinary person's was so weak it could not be perceived, but a cultivator's magnetic field was obvious. Especially for someone with profound cultivation, their magnetic field could even alter the seasons and affect the growth of flowers and grass.

Lin Jiufeng was now such a person.

Though a month of bitter cultivation had not allowed him to break through the Seventh Restriction, he had indeed gained greatly.

Standing by the window, Lin Jiufeng looked toward the Feather Transformation Sect's Golden Summit Great Hall.

Bai Yunfei had been in Secluded Cultivation for a month. He wondered whether he had broken through.

The Supreme Dao Sect is too quiet—so quiet that it frightens me a little. Junior Brother should break through soon. Lin Jiufeng's thoughts drifted far away.

The Supreme Dao Sect was not easy to deal with. They acted with extreme tyranny. Changsun Yu's death would absolutely not be let go so easily.

If they had not acted yet, they had to be brewing something sinister.

"Junior Brother, you should break through soon. Otherwise, I'll be at the same realm as you before long." Lin Jiufeng said with a soft laugh, taking a sip of tea as he calmly watched the Golden Summit Great Hall.

Ninety thousand li away from the Feather Transformation Sect stood a Dao Mountain renowned throughout the world.

It was not that the mountain itself was particularly famous, but because the Supreme Dao Sect—the foremost Daoist sect in the Cultivation World—stood upon it.

The Supreme Dao Sect had begun rising to prominence three thousand years ago. Before its rise, it had already occupied this place, but at the time it had merely been a third-rate minor sect that no one cared about. Thus, this mountain had remained unknown.

But with the Supreme Dao Sect's rise, this Dao Mountain had also become a famous mountain and great river, remembered by all.

Supreme Dao Sect, Sect Master's Great Hall.

Black was the dominant color, solemn and imposing, carrying a trace of decisiveness and cold cruelty.

"Sect Master, the outside world is abuzz with rumors that Bai Yunfei, the Feather Transformation Sect's Sect Master, comprehended the Feather Ascension Scripture and killed Dao Ancestor Changsun Yu. Are we not going to retaliate?" a hawk-nosed Daoist priest asked with a gloomy expression.

The current Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect was called True Person Taixuan, also an Eighth Restriction Dao Ancestor. At this moment, he coldly studied the information in his hands and said, "An ordinary Eighth Restriction Dao Ancestor will gain no advantage against Bai Yunfei, who possesses the Feather Ascension Scripture. The Feather Ascension Scripture is too extraordinary. At least two Eighth Restriction cultivators must go together to ensure nothing goes wrong."

The hawk-nosed Daoist priest frowned. "Our Eighth Restriction Dao Ancestors have all gone to the Million Mountains to search for and capture a young Qilin. Where can we find other Eighth Restriction Dao Ancestors to send to the Feather Transformation Sect? Must Sect Master go personally?"

"If the Supreme Dao Sect's people cannot spare the time, then invite outsiders. The three brothers of the Demonic Sect's Three Sages of Clarity are all Eighth Restriction Dao Ancestors, but their allotted lifespans are nearing their end. Go and persuade them. Tell them that the Feather Ascension Scripture possesses the power to seize the creations of heaven and earth. Once they obtain it, they will surely be able to extend their lifespans and may even hope to break through to the Ninth Restriction," the Supreme Dao Sect's Sect Master ordered.

The hawk-nosed Daoist priest's eyes lit up. He said admiringly, "Sect Master truly has a way. Though the Three Sages of Clarity follow the demonic path, the Feather Transformation Sect's Sect Master has also fallen into demonic ways. We can let the dogs bite each other. I'll go persuade them at once."
