591. Lin Fei Ascends to Martial Ancestor? Taihao True Immortal’s Astonishment!

Taihao True Immortal did not respond to the Golden Crow Taoist. He did not even glance at him. Instead, his gaze rested upon Lin Fei, staring intently at him. His eyes, brimming with wisdom, seemed to sparkle with the light of intellect.

"Unexpectedly, our Ancient Covenant has birthed another Martial Ancestor. Lin, my fellow Daoist, perhaps not even the Great Dream Ancestor knew of the fortuitous destiny that awaited you. If I am not mistaken, it was during the celestial rites held on the Ancient Continent that you seized this opportunity and thus achieved the exalted status of Martial Ancestor."

Taihao True Immortal began to speak slowly. However, his words struck like thunder.

Lin Fei had become a Martial Ancestor?

The Golden Crow Taoist could scarcely believe his eyes.

"Impossible, how could True Monarch Lin be a Martial Ancestor?"

Even the other True Monarchs of the Taihao Palace showed faces filled with shock as if they couldn't believe it.

"Lin Fei has become a Martial Ancestor?"

"Incredible, truly incredible! His Majesty is never mistaken. It seems Lin Fei has indeed ascended to Martial Ancestor."

"No wonder Lin Fei dared to address His Majesty as 'fellow Daoist.' It wasn't arrogance, but because Lin Fei had become a Martial Ancestor, his status now equal to His Majesty."

"How long has it been since our Ancient Covenant last witnessed the rise of a True Immortal Martial Ancestor? And now, it turns out to be Lin Fei."

The multitude of True Monarchs in the Taihao Palace struggled to maintain their composure. All were profoundly shocked. They knew Lin Fei possessed immense talent.

Indeed, he had become the foremost Martial God of the Divine Realm! Such an honor was not easily attained. And then Lin Fei ascended to True Monarch, his rise meteoric.

Many had regarded Lin Fei as a potential Martial Ancestor. Yet, such expectations spanned thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years.

Perhaps only then might Lin Fei achieve the status of the Martial Ancestor. And even that was merely a slim possibility. But who could have imagined that in just a few years' time, Lin Fei would already have become a Martial Ancestor, exceeding all expectations?

A Martial Ancestor, a being comparable to a True Immortal, elevated high above, ascending to the pinnacle of the Divine Realm!

Even Taihao True Immortal, who had just been uncontrollably furious, demanding Lin Fei's execution, now, upon seeing that Lin Fei had indeed become a Martial Ancestor, suddenly calmed down.

"Fellow Daoist Taihao, I have come here solely to mediate the longstanding grievances between you and the Phoenix," Lin Fei spoke forthrightly. "Whatever the reasons for those ancient grievances, they have long since passed. Moreover, the Phoenix has paid a price, having been suppressed for so many years. The discord between you and the Phoenix should, by now, be sufficiently resolved. For my sake, fellow Daoist, would you consider not pursuing the Phoenix's past errors any further?"

Lin Fei spoke directly, as his visit was purely to seek reconciliation for the Phoenix, thus he did not beat around the bush.

TaihaoTrue Immortal gazed deeply at Lin Fei, then swept his eyes over the Phoenix, and said calmly, "It seems the Phoenix has found a powerful patron. Fellow Daoist Lin, you have just ascended to Martial Ancestor, and I find your path intriguing. Would you be willing to spar and share insights with me?"

The Taihao True Immortal did not directly accept Lin Fei's proposal. Instead, he redirected the conversation. He wished to 'spar' with Lin Fei, to witness Lin Fei's 'path.'

In reality, this was his response. To forgive the Phoenix was possible. And quite straightforward. All Lin Fei needed to do was to defeat him. That would suffice.

True Immortals and Martial Ancestors do not battle to the death. At least, not over such trivial matters.

However, a friendly sparring was entirely acceptable. After all, True Immortals embody the Dao and Martial Ancestors master the Dao. Both are intimately linked to the Dao. Especially Martial Ancestors, who cultivate their own Dao.

This, in fact, was something even True Immortals might envy. But each follows a different path in cultivation. Even with envy, there is no remedy.

Typically, a Martial Ancestor is somewhat stronger than a True Immortal. Yet, Taihao True Immortal is one of the Ancient Covenant's most ancient True Immortals.

If the Taihao True Immortal had forgiven the Phoenix upon Lin Fei's arrival at the Taihao Palace, would that not tarnish the dignity of True Immortals?

Therefore, no matter what, the Taihao True Immortal wished to 'weigh' the 'merits' of Lin Fei, the newly ascended Martial Ancestor. To see if this legend of the Divine Realm was truly as miraculous as said.

"Spar? Perfect, I too am curious to experience the prowess of a True Immortal," Lin Fei replied immediately. He agreed.

Lin Fei had long understood that reaching an accord with the Phoenix without demonstrating his strength was impossible. Even as a Martial Ancestor, one must still prove one's 'mettle.'

Moreover, Lin Fei was eager to see. Was the Dao Integration True Immortal truly so miraculous?

"Fellow Daoist Lin, let us go to the ethereal void of the Divine Realm. If we spar here, I fear the Taihao Palace itself might not withstand the aftershocks of our battle."

Lin Fei nodded.

"Whoosh."

In the next moment, the Taihao True Immortal swiftly ascended into the void.

Similarly, Lin Fei stepped up as if climbing an invisible staircase, rising into the void.

Seeing this, the Phoenix, Golden Crow Daoist, and the many True Monarchs of the Taihao Palace all wore extremely solemn expressions. And yet, there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

This was a rare opportunity. A Martial Ancestor battling a True Immortal! Both were apex existences of the Divine Realm, exalted and supreme.

Normally, one could not witness a battle between a Martial Ancestor and a True Immortal. But now, the Taihao True Immortal and Lin Fei were prepared for combat.

Though not a battle to the death, the might of a Martial Ancestor and a True Immortal was terrifying. The strength to shake heavens and earth. To witness them in action was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Therefore, the True Monarchs of the Taihao Palace, along with the Phoenix and the Golden Crow Daoist, all cast their eyes towards the void where Lin Fei and the Taihao True Immortal were confronting each other.

Lin Fei halted in the void, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, his demeanor serene. Even when facing an ancient True Immortal, Lin Fei's heart remained as still as an undisturbed well, utterly calm.

"Watch closely, fellow Daoist Lin," declared the Taihao True Immortal solemnly. "This is the Dao of a True Immortal!"

In the next moment, the Taihao True Immortal extended a pale finger and pointed gently at Lin Fei.

A thunderous roar erupted in the void.

Lin Fei could vaguely sense that within the Divine Realm, vast seas of origin were violently trembling.

At the same time, a force of law enveloped him.

Suppression, confinement!

Various forces had already descended upon Lin Fei. This was the Dao integrated by the Taihao True Immortal.

Once a Dao is integrated, a True Immortal can mobilize the power of that particular Dao.

In the Divine Realm, its potency is terrifying. It is akin to harnessing a portion of the entire Divine Realm's power. Only a Dao Integration True Immortal can wield a fragment of the Divine Realm's might.

Lin Fei immediately felt the pressure. From all directions, relentless force squeezed against him. He could even see in the void, strands of law, endlessly extending like a vast net, enveloping him.

It seemed from all sides, forces conspired to trap Lin Fei, leaving him no escape.

Yet, Lin Fei made no attempt to dodge. In fact, he remained motionless. Standing quietly in the void, he allowed countless threads of law to envelop him.

With a thunderous vibration, Lin Fei's body shook as if under immense pressure, continuously oscillating. And with it, massive amounts of the law's power pressed down like Mount Tai's overwhelming weight.

Yet still, Lin Fei stood with his hands behind his back, unyielding. His entire being stood defiantly in the void. His gaze commanding, his demeanor proud!

"Fellow Daoist Taihao, there's no need for you to hold back," Lin Fei declared boldly. "Unleash all the maneuvers of a True Immortal. I can withstand it! Otherwise, if this is all the strength you have, then it's indeed too weak, and I will be truly disappointed!"

Lin Fei's words were unabashed and even caused a flash of sharpness to pass through the eyes of the Taihao True Immortal.
