"Gravity Tower?" The sect leader pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "This Gravity Tower is one of the treasured assets of our Ancient Origin Sect. When we were crafting this treasure, we needed a very special material. It's called 'Gravity Stone'. To find this Gravity Stone, the Ancient Origin Sect's ancestors sent out many top-tier Martial Sovereigns, and after much difficulty, they managed to acquire some of them, only then did we invite a top-tier Golden Core True Person to craft this Gravity Tower."
"Gravity Stone?"
Lin Fei's eyes lit up. He originally thought that the reason the Gravity Tower possessed such immense gravitational force was due to the formations crafted by the Golden Core True Persons. He believed that these formations simulated gravity. Unexpectedly, there was something as miraculous as the Gravity Stone.
"Where can I find these Gravity Stones?" Lin Fei inquired.
"Gravity Stones are very unique, almost all of them were found in the Ancient Battlefields. However, the Ancient Battlefield is extremely dangerous. Not only are there terrifying exotic beasts but there are also terrifying powers that can emerge at any time. Even a Martial Sovereign entering would face danger."
"Ancient Battlefield?"
This was the first time Lin Fei had heard of it. The sect leader then explained to Lin Fei.
The Ancient Battlefield was a mysterious location within the vast Ancient Continent. Legend has it that this battlefield might date back to a very ancient time. Perhaps, a significant battle had taken place there. It's unclear who fought in this battle, but the residual powers that lingered were immensely terrifying. Despite the danger, there were also opportunities. For instance, some found special materials there, used to craft magic treasures. These magic treasures were immensely powerful. Similarly, materials like the Gravity Stone were of great importance.
Lin Fei continued his cultivation within the Gravity Tower before going to the Ancient Battlefield. However, after mastering the Gravity Domain, the pace of his cultivation slowed down significantly. He could only progress by about 2% each day.
In a blink of an eye, two months passed.
"Boom."
Lin Fei's Life Wheel emerged once more from his back. But this time, with his prior experience, he immediately retracted the Life Wheel.
"Your Divine Ability, Gravity Domain, through diligent cultivation, has broken through to Transcendence!"
The system's voice echoed in Lin Fei's mind.
"System."
Lin Fei quickly checked.
"Sect Leader, how can I assist you?"
Typically, the sect leader wouldn't approach Lin Fei without a reason.
"I heard Sovereign Lin left the Gravity Tower, indicating your Divine Ability cultivation must have reached a phase of completion. I came to inform Sovereign Lin about something. Recently, Taiyi Dao Palace has been very active, even attempting to gradually isolate the disciples of our Ancient Origin Sect. Therefore, if Sovereign Lin plans to leave the sect, please be cautious. It might be best not to leave the Ancient Origin Sect at all."
Lin Fei frowned, "Is Taiyi Dao Palace targeting the disciples of the Ancient Origin Sect? Or are Profound Light Cave Heaven and Red Hades Mansion also involved?"
The Sect Leader hesitated for a moment, then replied in a deep voice, "Only our Ancient Origin Sect disciples."
Lin Fei fell silent.
Profound Light Cave Heaven, Red Hades Mansion, and Ancient Origin Sect. These three major powers were supposed to be in sync. However, in reality, the relationship between the three forces was not as solid as it seemed. There were constant overt and covert conflicts between them. Still, they usually presented a united front against Taiyi Dao Palace. But this situation seemed different.
"Fissures!" Lin Fei deduced. "Taiyi Dao Palace has found the rifts in our relations with Profound Light Cave Heaven and Red Hades Mansion. That's why the other two are silently consenting to Taiyi Dao Palace's actions against us."
Lin Fei, ever analytical, noted, "They must have used some tactic."
The Sect Leader nodded, "Your insight is sharp. Indeed, Taiyi Dao Palace exploited the cracks in our alliance. And primarily, it's because of you."
"Because of me?" Lin Fei's eyes flickered, guessing the reason. "Is it because I defeated Worry-free Sovereign, or because my rapid cultivation progress threatened the other two forces?"
The Sect Leader smiled bitterly, "Both reasons. By defeating Worry-free Sovereign, you've established yourself as one of the top powers among us. Plus, being a 'Dao Seeker', your potential is boundless. If you continue to grow, you might overshadow both Profound Light Cave Heaven and Red Hades Mansion."
Understanding dawned on Lin Fei. The two powers were indeed wary of him. He smirked, "They have good judgment. Indeed, if things continue as they are, I can overshadow the three major forces. Their scheming is pointless. If I'm still around, it's inevitable."
"As for Taiyi Dao Palace, if they want to kill me, they better have the strength!" Lin Fei declared coldly.
With his current capabilities, he could indeed influence the power dynamics. If he advanced further, especially by mastering the four Great Divine Abilities, he could challenge Taiyi Dao Palace directly.
"I'm going to the Ancient Battlefield to find the gravity stone," Lin Fei stated. "As for Taiyi Dao Palace, there's no need to worry. While they pride themselves on their Nascent Soul lineage, they no longer have any Nascent Soul Great Beings. If need be, I can make a trip to Taiyi Dao Palace myself and see whose foundation is deeper, theirs or mine?"
As his voice echoed in the cave, Lin Fei transformed into a beam of light and swiftly left the area.
