Luo Feng gazed at the half-broken blade suspended in mid-air, his eyes flickering slightly.

He was thirty steps away from the broken blade.

Now that his Sky Cloud Step had reached the Great Achievement Realm, he could cover hundreds of meters in a single step, so the thirty-step distance was negligible. Yet, Luo Feng knew that the intricacies involved were far from simple; he could sense the overwhelming Grand Momentum pressing against him, even without consciously trying to feel it.

After deliberating, Luo Feng lifted his right foot and took a step forward.

Buzz!

Suddenly, an immense and unparalleled Grand Momentum enveloped him, causing the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber he carried to tremble slightly, emitting a whistling sound as if impatient to conquer the world.

At that moment, Luo Feng felt his body grow enormously heavy, as if life itself was being stripped away, leaving him cold all over. If not for his understanding of Grand Momentum and firm will, any ordinary Martial Artist would have likely screamed and fled under such oppressing force.

"It is indeed worthy of the Grand Momentum comprehended by those with the qualification of Sealing King, truly domineering."

Luo Feng took a deep breath, murmuring to himself, understanding Uncle Qiu’s words’ deeper meaning.

He was thirty steps away from the Thunder Dragon Saber, and as he got closer, the slash marks on the ground became denser, with the Grand Momentum growing fiercer. To approach the treasured saber, he must comprehend its mysteries and use his own Grand Momentum to resist it. By the time he could approach the saber, his level of Grand Momentum would have surely improved greatly.

Uncle Qiu watched as Luo Feng quickly grasped the essentials, a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and transmitted to Lin Hongyi: "Miss, we should leave."

Lin Hongyi glanced at Luo Feng and nodded softly.

The two turned and left the courtyard. As they crossed the threshold, the air within rippled like water, causing Luo Feng’s stationary figure to gradually blur until it vanished, and the courtyard’s scenery reverted into a painting of bustling flowers, chirping birds, and flying insects.

"Uncle Qiu, why did you tell Luo Feng about our ancestors?"

Stopping, Lin Hongyi gently pursed her vibrant lips and asked Uncle Qiu after a moment.

Ever since the Lin Family’s demise thirteen years ago, Uncle Qiu had kept silent about the Deathless King, never revealing a word to anyone. To avoid exposing their identities, he hadn’t even taught Lin Hongyi martial arts, sending her to a regular academy instead, where she followed the conventional path to enter the Golden Palace and practice in the Yuangang Hall.

This time she brought Luo Feng to the family home merely to have him cultivate Grand Momentum through the Thunder Dragon Saber, without intending to disclose their identity—not because she did not trust Luo Feng, but because there was no need.

Yet she didn’t expect that Uncle Qiu would finally speak.

Uncle Qiu gazed into the courtyard as if staring at something, and suddenly said:

"He has the shadow of the master..."

"The ancestor, Deathless King?" Lin Hongyi was taken aback.

"The master once said that the essence of martial arts lies in the heart, and from a Martial Artist’s techniques, one can discern a person’s character. His methods, like the master’s, are bold and decisive, every move without hesitation or doubt, possessing an aura that points directly to one’s heart. Such a person will not act against their conscience. Just as earlier, he chose to stay by your side even when it meant a slim chance of survival, never once wavering."

Uncle Qiu paused with a smile: "Moreover, he is Miss’s friend. I trust Miss’s judgment."

A faint smile appeared on Lin Hongyi’s lips; such is her impression of Luo Feng. His unwavering persistence and calm in the face of danger sometimes earn her admiration.

Uncle Qiu hadn’t disclosed another reason.

His reason for revealing Lin Hongyi’s origins and the hidden truths behind the Deathless King and Boundless Sea King’s confrontation, and personally guiding Luo Feng’s cultivation, is in hopes that Luo Feng might assist her when she seeks vengeance against Boundless Sea King.

He has lived for centuries, encountering all sorts of people, yet only two, including the master, possessed such killer instincts at a young age and maintained single-minded determination: the Deathless King and Luo Feng.

In Martial Artist cultivation, innate talent is significant, but character is paramount. Those with this level of will are not ordinary. In

Uncle Qiu’s view, if all goes well, Luo Feng’s future accomplishments could rival the Deathless King.

Of course, this is exceedingly challenging. It may never happen.

Over the millennium, he has witnessed countless extraordinary talents perish prematurely...

"Uncle Qiu, how far do you think Luo Feng’s Grand Momentum can go?" Lin Hongyi suddenly asked.

Uncle Qiu pondered for a moment and replied: "His martial arts trainings are at notable levels, and he managed to discern that the Thunder Dragon Saber was the master’s saber from the Grand Momentum, demonstrating exceptional intuition and insight. With the master’s Grand Momentum support, he should break through to eight levels of Grand Momentum within ten days."

"Breaking through in ten days?" Lin Hongyi raised her eyebrows, surprised at Uncle Qiu’s high regard for Luo Feng. Even with assistance from the Thunder Dragon Saber, it took her nearly a month to progress from seven to eight levels of Grand Momentum.

At this moment, Uncle Qiu addressed Lin Hongyi: "Miss, you seemed to have been entrapped by an illusion earlier, you should rest."

Lin Hongyi shook her head: "No need. I’ve been plateaued at the Momentum Realm for a year, unable to make the final leap to the Great Achievement Realm. I wish to observe Luo Feng’s cultivation and see what I might glean."

She wanted to see if Luo Feng could truly break through in ten days.

"Very well, then. I shall take my leave."

Uncle Qiu nodded, aware that Lin Hongyi has long wished to advance her Grand Momentum to the Great Achievement Realm. However, Grand Momentum cultivation heavily relies on personal comprehension, and he couldn’t offer much help.

Slightly bowing, Uncle Qiu’s figure gradually blurred, eventually disappearing without a trace.

Lin Hongyi gently exhaled, sitting cross-legged on the ground, commencing her cultivation while maintaining a thread of consciousness to sense the courtyard’s happenings.

In the courtyard, Luo Feng stood motionless like a statue, his gaze fixed on the crisscrossing slash marks on the ground.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and stepped forward again.

Brush!

As his foot landed, the placid air rippled in waves, releasing an intense sharpness soaring skyward, while the slash marks transformed into phantom blade lights, slicing toward Luo Feng.

These blade lights were invisible to the naked eye, yet Luo Feng could distinctly perceive them.

"Slash!"

His eyes flashed; Luo Feng’s gaze was blade-like, incomparably sharp, causing the air ahead to part automatically, and that formidable phantom blade light disintegrated in the blink of an eye.

Phew...

Exhaling deeply, Luo Feng pressed onward.

In this manner, Luo Feng advanced a total of fourteen steps, with each step amplifying the Grand Momentum blocking his path, leaving his body drenched in sweat within moments

The fifteenth step!
