131. Master and Disciple Sparring

"Finally back."

Lin Fei looked at the Nine Profound Sect and breathed a sigh of relief. After the Martial Alliance Exchange Conference had ended, he had not stopped at all. He led his disciples day and night, and they finally returned to the Nine Profound Sect.

If it were only Lin Fei, he wouldn't fear Guardian Primordial Mountain. However, there were many Nine Profound Sect disciples following him. So, Lin Fei had some concerns.

"Alright, you all go back to the inner sect and rest."

"Yes, Grand Elder."

These disciples had all witnessed Lin Fei's display of power at the Martial Alliance Exchange Conference. With a single saber strike, he killed Yuan Gangzi, Guardian Primordial Mountain's top Qi Condensation cultivator. The thirty-meter-tall saber energy and the terrifying saber intent deeply impressed these disciples. In their eyes, Lin Fei had become the spiritual symbol of the Nine Profound Sect.

Lin Fei didn't mind the fanaticism in the disciples' eyes. Titles and fame were like passing clouds in his eyes. Strength was the foundation! He sought immortality!

"Killing Yuan Gangzi this time didn't increase my saber intent. This means Yuan Gangzi wasn't strong enough in the eyes of saber intent. It seems I need to go to the Ancestral Master Peak to improve my saber intent."

Lin Fei furrowed his brows. His saber intent was aloof. The only way to improve it was to defeat powerful opponents or hone it. Of course, there was also sudden enlightenment, but it was something one could encounter but not seek.

"Going to Ancestral Master Peak."

Lin Fei wanted his saber intent to reach transcendence as soon as possible. Being only at Mastery, Lin Fei felt it was no longer enough. Its power was far inferior to Saber Qi. After all, Lin Fei's opponents were either top Qi Condensation cultivators or those at Qi Condensation perfection. His opponents would only grow stronger.

At the Martial Alliance Exchange Conference, Lin Fei realized that though his saber intent was strong, only slightly surpassed Lu Zongyi's sword intent. His saber intent was not that impressive among martial artists who had comprehended Martial Dao True Intent.

If it could reach transcendence, it would be a different story. Transcendence saber intent would at least increase tenfold or even dozens of times! Moreover, Lin Fei had another consideration. His progress in cultivating the True Intention Scroll was slow. But the True Intention Scroll was closely related to his saber intent.

If his saber intent could improve, even reaching transcendence, the True Intention Scroll would undoubtedly advance rapidly. This would be killing two birds with one stone! So, upon returning to the Nine Profound Sect, Lin Fei had no intention of resting at all.

With a step forward, his figure appeared thirty meters away. Step by step, he headed towards Ancestral Master Peak.

At Ancestral Master Peak, in front of a stone tablet, an old man sat cross-legged. His eyes were closed, and his face was calm.

Lin Fei approached the Ancestral Master Peak step by step. Seeing the old man in front of the stone tablet, he was slightly surprised.

"Master!"

Lin Fei called out. The old man in front of the stone tablet was none other than Lin Fei's master, "Empty Abyss Sword" Zhao Kongming.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, a vast and mighty sword intent erupted from the stone tablet! It was as if the sky was about to be torn apart by the sword intent. At the same time, Zhao Kongming's body also erupted with terrifying sword intent.

Above Zhao Kongming's head, a vague sword shadow appeared. It was confronting the sword intent within the stone tablet. Zhao Kongming was also learning from Lin Fei, using the sword intent left by the ancestor of the Nine Profound Sect within the stone tablet to hone his own sword intent.

"Swish."

Zhao Kongming opened his eyes. In his eyes, there seemed to be a hint of sharp sword intent. His edge was exposed! This was Zhao Kongming now.

Ever since he comprehended sword intent, Zhao Kongming felt rejuvenated. His swordsmanship realm advanced rapidly, making astonishing progress!

"Hahaha, disciple, you're finally back. The founder's sword intent is truly extraordinary. Even after hundreds of years, the founder's sword intent is still like a blazing sun, making it difficult for me to resist.

However, using the founder's sword intent to hone my own sword intent has been quite effective. In just a few days, I feel that my sword intent has gradually become more stable, and even my swordsmanship realm has advanced rapidly.

No wonder you always like to stay in front of this stone tablet and cultivate diligently. Is this cultivation? This is enjoying!"

Zhao Kongming seemed to have seen through Lin Fei's "secret." Previously, Zhao Kongming thought that Lin Fei had been cultivating diligently at Ancestral Master Peak. He thought Lin Fei was very hardworking.

But now, he had also comprehended sword intent. After honing his sword intent at Ancestral Master Peak, he finally understood. Lin Fei was not cultivating, It was just enjoying!

Visibly improving sword intent and swordsmanship realm at an incredible speed. What a great opportunity! So, since Lin Fei left the Nine Profound Sect, Zhao Kongming had been staying at Ancestral Master Peak every day.

"Congratulations, Master, for making great progress in your swordsmanship!"

Lin Fei also congratulated Zhao Kongming. Zhao Kongming was full of pride. Seeing Lin Fei, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "Disciple, currently within the Nine Profound Sect, only you and I, master and disciple, have comprehended Martial Dao True Intent.

The path of martial arts is too difficult and requires other martial artists to accompany us. Why not have a friendly spar between you and me? You use your saber technique, and I'll use my sword technique. Let's verify our martial arts and see if there are any shortcomings?"

"Spar?"

Lin Fei's heart warmed up as well. He had always had some regrets during the Martial Alliance Exchange Conference. He was originally going to spar with Lu Zongyi, but it was ruined by Yuan Gangzi.

Lu Zongyi was a martial arts master who had comprehended sword intent. Lin Fei also wanted to try and see what the differences were between him and other innate martial artists who had comprehended Martial Dao True Intent.

Perhaps, as his master Zhao Kongming said, under the mutual verification of a friendly spar, both of them could gain something. However, Lin Fei knew that his strength was now too strong. Especially his Saber Qi, its power was terrifying. Zhao Kongming might not be able to withstand it.

So, Lin Fei tactfully suggested, "Master, why don't we just compare our saber intent and sword intent directly? As for the actual swordsmanship and saber techniques, since sabers and swords have no eyes, it's better not to try."

Hearing this, Zhao Kongming's expression became serious, "Martial arts were originally created for fighting. We martial artists fight against the heavens and the earth, how can we be afraid of battle?"

Besides, it's just a friendly spar. How can we find out our flaws without using saber techniques and sword techniques? You and I are both martial arts masters, so there won't be any danger. Just fight freely."

Zhao Kongming's expression was solemn and serious. His eyes were also full of confidence. After all, he had been in the martial arts world for decades and was known as the "Empty Abyss Sword."

In Zhao Kongming's opinion, his swordsmanship was the best in the Nine Profound Sect. Even if he wanted to find an opponent in swordsmanship, he was afraid that only those sword fanatics from the Hidden Sword Sect could match him.

"Alright, we'll stop when we touch."

Lin Fei nodded. Thinking about it, Zhao Kongming was also a martial arts master and now he had comprehended sword intent. How could he be underestimated? Lin Fei would never underestimate the martial artists of the world.

"Come, my swordsmanship focuses on killing with a single strike."

Zhao Kongming's hand was already on the hilt of his sword. Once he drew his sword, it would undoubtedly be earth-shattering! Lin Fei took a deep breath and didn't hesitate any longer.

"Boom."

Suddenly, Lin Fei unleashed all of his Saber Qi.

"Heavenly Saber Art!"

More than thirty-meter saber energy stretched across the void. Moreover, Lin Fei displayed the Heavenly Saber Art, condensed a Fierce Saber, which was filled with monstrous, sinister energy. This sinister energy directly locked onto Zhao Kongming.

Suddenly, Zhao Kongming felt as if he would be instantly turned into dust with just a slight movement! Even his hand gripping the sword hilt was trembling slightly, Zhao Kongming had seen Lin Fei display the thirty-meter-tall saber energy before.

At that time, he had only felt shocked. Moreover, it was not aimed at him. As a bystander, his feelings were not too real. But now, when Lin Fei's Saber Qi locked onto Zhao Kongming. Zhao Kongming finally felt how terrifying this thirty-meter-tall saber energy really was.

"Master, why haven't you drawn your sword yet? Do you want your disciple to make the first move?"

Lin Fei was a bit puzzled. Zhao Kongming's hand gripping the sword hilt showed no signs of movement. It seemed like he was letting Lin Fei make the first move. Thinking of this, Lin Fei didn't hesitate any longer, he prepared to slash down his Saber Qi.

"Stop!" Zhao Kongming immediately shouted, "Disciple, you're right, sabers and swords have no eyes. Besides, at our level, having comprehended Martial Dao True Intent, no need to wield sabers and swords. Why don't we just compare our sword intent and saber intent directly, and stop when we touch? What do you think, disciple?"

Zhao Kongming gradually loosened his grip on the sword hilt. It seemed that he was really not planning to draw his sword.
