Xu Jun's gaze darkened as he asked directly, "You know Lin Feng?"

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of the inner disciple's mouth. Know him? It was more than that—he had even been beaten senseless by him.

Seeing the flying treasures used by Xu Jun and the other two, he knew their status was far from low. He immediately stopped hiding anything and recounted everything that had happened earlier.

The matter was brief and uncomplicated, and Xu Jun's group quickly heard the whole story.

Step, step.

After hearing it, Xu Jun staggered back three steps in disbelief. Uneasily, he said, "What did you say? With one sword strike, he swept through dozens of inner disciples? Every one of them was at the fifth or sixth stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm? Just one strike?"

"That's right," the gaunt-faced disciple said bitterly.

Xu Jun and the other two said nothing. No one would exaggerate something so humiliating, which meant Lin Feng's strength had not been overstated!

One sword strike!

He could achieve such a thing?

Xu Jun's heart trembled. Searching his own conscience, he knew he absolutely could not accomplish it—at the very least, he would need to raise his cultivation by another two minor realms.

Yet Lin Feng could already do it. Just how much had his strength improved?!

What a terrifying rate of progress!

Wei Changfeng and Chen Yunjing's faces twitched slightly. Seek revenge on Lin Feng? With just them? Better forget it—the gap in strength was far too great!

Thinking of the bitter cultivation he had endured these past days, Xu Jun felt as though he had become a joke.

At that moment, the gaunt-faced disciple pointed in a direction and said, "The place where he lives is over there. Shall I take you there?"

After speaking, the gaunt-faced disciple's expression remained blank, but inwardly, he was hoping the three would go cause trouble for Lin Feng. If they could give him a proper beating, that would be even better.

Xu Jun and the other two fell silent for a moment. Then Xu Jun coughed and said, "Well... forget it. There's no need to trouble you. We'll go ourselves!"

With that, Xu Jun and the other two headed in another direction.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

They were incredibly fast, vanishing from sight in an instant.

Only the gaunt-faced disciple remained standing there in a daze. Stunned, he muttered, "No, you've gone the wrong way. Lin Feng's cultivation cave is on the other side!"

Boom!!

Inside the cultivation cave, terrifying origin energy blasted outward in all directions. Its power was ferocious, nothing someone at Lin Feng's realm should have been capable of unleashing.

"The fifth stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm."

Lin Feng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. Logically speaking, advancing one minor realm should have been something worth celebrating. Yet this single breakthrough had cost him far too much.

More than a million Origin Stones...

All of them had been completely used up!

At the thought of it, Lin Feng could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth.

The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was indeed powerful. With every breakthrough, he could feel his qi and blood multiply several times over, more than ten times what it had been before. It was terrifying.

Yet this one minor realm had consumed over a million Low-Grade Origin Stones!

Such resource consumption was an astronomical figure. This was only the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. When he reached the Palace of Destiny Realm and the Dao Condensation Realm, how many Origin Stones, spirit pills, spiritual medicines, and heavenly treasures would each minor breakthrough consume?

"I need to find a way to increase my cultivation speed. Otherwise, there simply won't be enough for the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body to absorb," Lin Feng thought.

He looked around.

The surroundings felt far too crude.

He ought to change locations!

A glint flashed through Lin Feng's eyes as something came to mind.

If he remembered correctly, the cultivation cave he currently occupied was at the very bottom. Its rank could be said to be rather low. The spiritual energy in the cave was reasonably dense, but it could no longer satisfy the cultivation needs of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

He needed to climb higher!

A sharp light suddenly appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.

But before that, there was another matter at hand: deriving the fifth form of the Yellow Springs Heaven-Severing Sword Art.

The fourth form, Yellow Springs Phantom Slash, already possessed power comparable to a Venerable Realm divine ability. The fifth form might even possess the power of the Mighty Realm.

If he possessed a divine ability of that level, Lin Feng's combat strength would become terrifying beyond imagination. Forget being invincible within the Sea of Reincarnation Realm—even against those in the Palace of Destiny Realm, he could fight across realms.

After all, within the Palace of Destiny Realm, prodigies capable of cultivating Mighty Realm divine abilities were few and far between. Across the entire Azurebillow Domain, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

"It's time to derive it."

Lin Feng then sat down cross-legged. With a thought, he reviewed the first four forms of the sword art in his mind. Lines of profound scripture flashed through his thoughts like thunderbolts, overflowing with supreme majesty.

Gradually, the fifth form of the sword art began to take shape.

This was the terror of Heaven-Defying Comprehension. If an ordinary person tried to derive it, they would cough blood and die in less than three seconds.

By the middle and later stages of the derivation, Lin Feng's face had begun to turn pale as well. Although he could derive it, his body still could not quite bear it no matter what.

Even his body trembled faintly, as though it could not withstand this immense karma.

Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!

Suddenly, Lin Feng's eyes turned golden, dazzling light shooting out from them. His will was firm as he continued the derivation!

One profound scripture after another surfaced in his mind.

The fifth form of the Yellow Springs Heaven-Severing Sword Art had been successfully derived!

Heaven-Severing Fate-Reversing Slash!

This was the fifth form of the sword art!

"Heaven-Severing Fate-Reversing Slash—what a formidable sword technique. This sword art truly has the power of the Mighty Realm, doesn't it? It's countless times stronger than the fourth form!" Lin Feng was shaken to the core, utterly astonished.

Then Lin Feng began to learn it.

This was where the power of Heaven-Defying Comprehension lay.

Any martial art, any divine ability, could be comprehended at extreme speed.

Such comprehension ability was rarely seen in the world. Even if a Saint Realm expert descended, they might not compare to Lin Feng.

Time passed bit by bit.

Heaven-Severing Fate-Reversing Slash had already reached minor mastery.

Then came intermediate mastery, followed by major mastery!

A Mighty Realm divine ability had been cultivated to major mastery in less than half a day. If word spread, it would surely horrify the world. Even Mighty Realm experts would be unable to sit still and would come to see it for themselves; even Saint Realm experts would be shocked.

Lin Feng rose to his feet.

"What a formidable sword technique. This is my absolute trump card!"

Cultivating a Mighty Realm divine ability to major mastery while only in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm—no one would believe it if it spread. It was simply like a Great Emperor Realm expert reincarnated, a youthful supreme being.

Lin Feng walked out of the cave.

Suddenly, he spotted an acquaintance. The man had a gaunt face and was looking around near the cave, as though waiting for something.

Lin Feng frowned, his figure flashing like lightning as he appeared directly before him.

The gaunt-faced disciple was startled and wanted to flee, but Lin Feng had already arrived at his side first.

Boom!

After only a few days apart, the oppressive aura around Lin Feng had grown even stronger. The increase in his strength was like a flood!

"Senior Brother Lin..." The disciple forced an ugly expression onto his face. He had come hoping Xu Jun would trouble Lin Feng, but after waiting and waiting, Xu Jun never arrived. Instead, Lin Feng had spotted him.

"I have something to ask you," Lin Feng said indifferently.

"How much does the cultivation speed differ between cultivation caves on each level?" Lin Feng asked. He had only just arrived and did not know much about these matters.
