142. The Key of Foundation Establishment
"Exotic beasts!" Liu Yibai spoke directly, "To truly achieve physical body perfection, one must consume the flesh and blood of exotic beasts. Actually, martial arts were very prosperous thousands of years ago, not inferior to Qi cultivators, and even more flourishing.
At that time, there were many treasures that could help achieve physical body perfection. It wasn't necessarily required to consume the flesh and blood of exotic beasts. After all, exotic beasts are too powerful. Most adult exotic beasts are comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators or Martial Saints."
Unfortunately, later martial artists and Qi cultivators seemed to have had a great war. The specific reason for that war is unknown. But since that war, the number of experts in Great Chang sharply decreased. There were even powerful beings above the Foundation Establishment realm left, and it's unknown where they went.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
Perhaps they went to the outer seas, or perhaps to the northern countries. After that war, it seemed that various heavenly and earthly spiritual objects gradually decreased. In the beginning. some Martial Saints could hunt exotic beasts to prepare their flesh and blood for their younger disciples.
However, as time went by, the number of exotic beasts became fewer and fewer, and eventually, they were almost extinct. When there were no exotic beasts, even the most astonishingly talented people could not establish their foundation and become Martial Saints.
Do you think that there hasn't been a Martial Saint born in Great Chang for three hundred years since the Sword Saint of my Hidden Sword Sect passed away because martial artists are not talented enough?
Elder Lin, Nine Profound Sect's founder was talented enough, right? Even among the Martial Saints that my Hidden Sword Sect has produced, I'm afraid none can compare to the talent of the Nine Profound Sect's founder.
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators praised the Nine Profound Sect's founder. If he became a Martial Saint, the Nine Profound Sect's founder might have been even more powerful than the Great Chang's founding emperor and even had the potential to surpass the Foundation Establishment level.
Unfortunately, the Nine Profound Sect's founder was born in the wrong era. By the time his unparalleled talent dominated the world, exotic beasts had already become extinct.
Even if he traveled the world, he couldn't find a single exotic beast. Without the flesh and blood of exotic beasts, the physical body could never achieve perfection. Even if one forcefully established their foundation, it would be futile. In the end, he could only be depressed and regretful until their time was up."
Lin Fei's heart was moved. Liu Yibai mentioned the Nine Profound Sect's founder. It turns out that the Nine Profound Sect's founder couldn't find an exotic beast. In the end, his physical body couldn't achieve perfection. That's why he couldn't establish his foundation and become a Martial Saint.
No wonder the royal elders mentioned after the Nine Profound Sect's founder had read the martial arts secret records left by the Great Chang's founding emperor, he had shouted several times "I don't believe it!"
Most likely, the Nine Profound Sect's founder had also seen in the martial arts secret records, that to achieve Martial Saint, one's physical body must achieve perfection. And to achieve physical body perfection, one must consume the flesh and blood of exotic beasts.
Once his physical body reached perfection first, after his True Qi and saber intent reached perfection, Lin Fei could directly attempt to establish his foundation and challenge the Martial Saint realm.
If he missed this opportunity, even if Lin Fei had confidence in his Saber Qi, what if he still couldn't kill an adult exotic beast? That would be troublesome.
"When do we set off?"
Lin Fei didn't think too long. He raised his head and asked. He had already made a decision.
"At the beginning of the third month, when the weather turns warmer, those adult exotic beasts seem to migrate to give birth to new exotic beasts. Those two immature exotic beasts are most likely to stay behind. That will be the best opportunity we have in a year!"
Lin Fei calculated. There were still more than four months from now. In these four months, Lin Fei could make some preparations. He could even learn more about Martial Saints, Foundation Establishment, and exotic beasts to see if what Liu Yibai said was true.
He couldn't rely solely on Liu Yibai's words. Lin Fei had to have his own judgment.
"Alright, let's set off at the beginning of the third month," Lin Fei agreed, "By then, I'll give you a letter to confirm the specific location and time."
"No problem."
With that, the two discussed some more details. Lin Fei then bid farewell to Liu Yibai and left the Hidden Sword Sect.
Watching Lin Fei's departing figure, Liu Yibai's eyes became deeper.
"'Immortal Slayer Saber' Lin Fei. I didn't expect that the Nine Profound Sect would give birth to such a powerful martial artist. In terms of talent, he is no less than the Nine Profound Sect's founder. However, this is a good thing. With Lin Fei, the chances of slaying that exotic beast are even greater."
Liu Yibai knew very well. This was almost his last chance. If he didn't succeed, once detected by the exotic beasts, there would be no chance for the next attempt. Therefore, this time, success was the only option; failure was not allowed!
