At his words, the disciple's expression stiffened.
Then he answered honestly, "Senior Brother Lin, the Inner Sect's cultivation caves have a total of ninety-nine levels. The first-level cultivation cave where you are has a cultivation speed twice that of the outside world, the second level is three times, and by the ninety-ninth level, the cultivation speed reaches one hundred times!"
Lin Feng's gaze sharpened at that.
The cultivation speed at the highest level was actually this outrageous—an entire hundred times over?
Cultivating there for one day was equivalent to an ordinary person cultivating outside for a hundred days?
The thin-faced disciple continued, "However, starting from the ninetieth level, there is only one cultivation cave on each level, and the ones occupying them are the Sacred Land's Ten Great Sequences!"
The Ten Great Sequences!
Lin Feng fell into thought. The Ten Great Sequences of the Sacred Land enjoyed the finest resources. It was only natural for them to possess such cultivation caves. After all, they were the Ten Great Sequences—geniuses of that caliber would at the very least become elders of the Sacred Land in the future, and some might even become protectors or figures of even greater standing.
Such geniuses were not only the finest of the Limitless Sacred Land, but also the finest of the entire Azurebillow Domain. It was only natural that they enjoyed such heaven-defying benefits.
"So that's how it is."
Ambition appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.
He was currently on the first level, and this cultivation speed was far from enough.
He just did not know how many levels he could challenge with his current strength.
At once, he looked upward, a trace of battle intent appearing on his face.
The thin-faced disciple froze, then asked tentatively, "Senior Brother Lin, are you going to challenge the cultivation caves on the higher levels?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly.
With his strength, challenging the second or third levels would be as easy as turning his hand over. He could certainly secure himself a place.
The thin-faced disciple hurriedly said, "With your strength, Senior Brother Lin, challenging the first five levels will definitely not be a problem. And after succeeding in a challenge, you will receive a reward of one hundred thousand Origin Stones for every level."
There was even a reward of one hundred thousand Origin Stones?
Such a good thing could not be passed up!
"Five levels? Five levels are far from enough." Lin Feng muttered softly. The next moment, his figure vanished like lightning!
The thin-faced disciple stared blankly. Five levels were still not enough to satisfy him? Did he not know that the higher the level, the stronger the disciples became? The first five levels all had disciples with at least the strength of the Eighth Layer of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. It would already be impressive if Lin Feng could successfully challenge the fifth level, let alone anything beyond it!
With those thoughts in mind, the thin-faced disciple could not help wanting to take a look. After all, if he could see Lin Feng fail his challenge, vomiting blood as he was trampled beneath someone's feet, it would be more than worth it. With that, he followed as well. Watching from afar was not against the rules anyway.
Lin Feng had already arrived at the second level. There were many cultivation caves here, but Lin Feng did not challenge them one by one. He went straight to the front of one cave.
Boom!
Without Lin Feng making any visible move, a streak of Sword Qi shot forth at once, slashing a shocking crack into the entrance of the cultivation cave.
Crack!
The Inner Sect disciple inside the cave seemed to sense it as well. Before he even emerged, an angry roar had already arrived, carrying a sharp Killing Intent.
"Are you courting death? You dare disturb my cultivation?" The disciple wore green robes, and his brows brimmed with Killing Intent. His cultivation was at the Seventh Stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!
The moment the disciple came out, Lin Feng struck with another sword!
Sword Qi infused with seventh-level Sword Intent was not something an ordinary person could withstand, even without any techniques.
When the disciple saw it, his pupils contracted sharply. He shouted, "D-Don't, don't, don't attack! We can talk this out!"
As the Sword Qi reached him, he resisted with all his strength. The terrifying Sword Qi scattered all the strength throughout his body, and with a thud, he was swept flying!
Lin Feng walked up to him and said lightly, "Give me the cave's token."
Every cultivation cave had a corresponding token, which also served as a symbol. Obtaining that token meant the challenge had succeeded.
The disciple shuddered all over. He did not dare show the slightest defiance, hurriedly patting himself down before handing Lin Feng a token carrying a faint, profound aura.
Lin Feng left directly and headed up to the third level!
The disciple trembled. "Where did this ruthless monster come from? His strength far surpasses mine, yet he came to challenge my cultivation cave?! With his strength, he should at least be able to claim a cave above the fifth level!"
Though he grumbled like this, the disciple did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction. Lin Feng's strength was far beyond his own. Whoever had greater strength possessed absolute authority.
Lin Feng arrived at the third level.
He repeated the same method.
Naturally, none of the disciples on the third level could stop Lin Feng. They were defeated in an instant!
Then came the fourth level.
The fifth level.
By the fifth level, the disciples occupying the cultivation caves were quite formidable. They had already reached the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, only one step away from the Palace of Destiny Realm!
For Inner Sect disciples, only upon entering the Palace of Destiny Realm could one be considered average. Those below the Palace of Destiny Realm were all the lowest-ranked disciples.
Of course, those who had entered the Inner Sect late were exceptions, such as Lin Feng. As a newcomer to the Inner Sect, it did not matter if he had yet to reach the Palace of Destiny Realm.
But although Lin Feng had not reached the Palace of Destiny Realm, how could his strength be lacking?
The disciple on the fifth level was a burly man. Seeing Lin Feng come to challenge him, gloom filled his eyes. "You came all the way to the fifth level to challenge me. Do you take me for a soft persimmon?"
After saying that, a great saber flew through the air, radiating a terrifying aura. This man had comprehended Blade Intent!
The thin-faced disciple had been following behind all along. It was perfectly normal for Lin Feng to blaze through the earlier levels so quickly, because he had the strength to do so!
But the fifth level was different.
"This man is named Yu Chang. He has now reached the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm and has comprehended Blade Intent. He is not some nobody in the Inner Sect, and he is an expert even among those at the same realm. Lin Feng should not be able to defeat him in an instant again, right?" the thin-faced disciple thought inwardly.
Just as that thought crossed his mind, Lin Feng slowly said, "No. You were simply more on the way."
Yu Chang froze for a moment. More on the way?
Those words instantly darkened Yu Chang's face. Was that not even more contemptuous? Because he was more on the way, Lin Feng thought he could deal with him casually?
Yu Chang roared in fury. The great saber in his hand released a terrifying aura as Blade Intent burst forth!
With one slash, he hacked at Lin Feng!
Lin Feng remained calm and struck with his sword again.
The Ninth Layer of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, coupled with comprehended Blade Intent, did seem to amount to some strength. However, Lin Feng's Sword Intent had already reached the seventh level. The gap between them was enormous, and defeating him was simply effortless.
Sword light flashed, sending the roaring Yu Chang flying with a single slash. He was in a miserable state, blood spraying through the air as he crashed into the wall of the cultivation cave and slowly fell down.
Yu Chang gritted his teeth, his heart filled with incomparable shock. Just as he tried to rise, he discovered that his entire body was powerless. Against such a powerhouse, even if he self-destructed, he would still be unable to defeat him.
A figure had already come to stand before Yu Chang. It was Lin Feng. "Hand over the token."
Yu Chang's heart trembled. He knew what Lin Feng had come for.
But with this kind of strength, was challenging him not completely unnecessary?
In Yu Chang's estimation, Lin Feng could at least occupy a cultivation cave above the seventh level.
