309. Mastery
"I want to learn the Divine Ability, Dual-World Saber!" Sovereign Yuan declared, "In exchange, I will spar with you using my Sword Domain against your Saber Domain."
Sovereign Yuan ceased his words, setting forth his conditions, with the Dual-World Saber as the currency of exchange. The strike from just a mont ago truly sent chills down his spine. That saber technique was too captivating, surpassing any Divine Ability that Sovereign Yuan had ever seen. Even though the Dual-World Saber was rooted in the saber dao, any Divine Ability can be cultivated. And Sovereign Yuan desired to master this particular saber technique.
Lin Fei observed Sovereign Yuan in silence. The latter resembled a sword: cold and resolute. Even if Lin Fei declined the exchange and killed Sovereign Yuan, it would be impossible to coerce him into helping hone Lin Fei's Saber Domain. This was Sovereign Yuan's indomitable spirit.
"Agreed!" Lin Fei responded. While the Dual-World Saber was indeed a top-tier Great Divine Ability, he realized after acquiring it just how challenging it was to cultivate. Even for beginners, mastering it seed like an insurmountable task. Without hesitation, Lin Fei handed over the Dual-World Saber scripture to Sovereign Yuan.
After a careful look, Sovereign Yuan promptly returned the manual to Lin Fei, remarking, "No wonder Sovereign Lin agreed so readily. I cannot cultivate this Divine Ability!"
Sovereign Yuan had aspirations to beco a Martial King. He did not want to waste ti on a Divine Ability if he couldn't cultivate it. Even if one manages to initiate the practice, a Divine Ability requires mastery, transcendence, and eventual perfection. How much ti and effort would that consu?
Lin Fei's choice to cultivate the Dual-World Saber earned him Sovereign Yuan's newfound respect. At least in terms of talent for the Dual-World Saber, Lin Fei surpassed Sovereign Yuan.
"Do you want to refine your Saber Domain?" Sovereign Yuan questioned, "It indeed is a sound approach. However, the extent to which your Saber Domain can be enhanced depends entirely on you."
A humming sound resonated.
In the next mont, Sovereign Yuan released his Sword Domain. Lin Fei did the sa with his Saber Domain. What ensued was a pure contest between the two domains: Saber against Sword. With the sharpening pressure from Sovereign Yuan's transcendent Sword Domain, Lin Fei's Saber Domain finally began to ascend.
5%, 10%, 15%, 20%... Lin Fei's Saber Domain steadily climbed. Thus, a day, two days, three days passed... Lin Fei and Sovereign Yuan settled on the mountain together, sparring daily to compare and contrast their Saber and Sword Domains.
With each passing day, Sovereign Yuan grew increasingly astonished and eventually even numb to the progress. He had always considered himself to possess a top-tier talent in swordsmanship, having cultivated his Sword Domain to the state of Transcendence and even believed reaching perfection was within reach. Yet, every day he felt the progress in Lin Fei's Saber Domain, advancing from beginner stages, little by little, toward mastery.
Moreover, Lin Fei made an exciting discovery. As his Saber Domain grew, his Dual-World Saber Divine Ability was also improving. Though the incrents were modest, there was undeniable progress, a delightful two-fold benefit. Over ti, a synergy developed between Lin Fei and Sovereign Yuan. Their sparring extended beyond just the domains to also encompass their Divine Abilities. Both being martial experts with distinct Divine Abilities, their exchanges felt seamless.
Furthermore, Sovereign Yuan was experiencing his advancents. His third Divine Ability had already reached the state of transcendence and was on the brink of perfection. But that tiny gap felt insurmountable, impossible to bridge.
However, after sparring with Lin Fei, he sensed a subtle shift in this third Divine Ability, attributed to Lin Fei's Gravity Domain. This third Divine Ability was essentially a life-preserving technique, sowhat akin to an undying state. This was why Sovereign Yuan had never revealed it, as it functioned more passively, focusing on preservation.
Had Lin Fei genuinely attempted to kill Sovereign Yuan, he would have to deploy all his Divine Abilities and expend an extensive amount of ti. It was evident Lin Fei had underestimated Sovereign Yuan.
Who would have thought that Sovereign Yuan's third Divine Ability was purely a life-preserving technique? With his Sword Domain, three Great Divine Abilities, and a life-preserving ability, killing Sovereign Yuan would be imnsely challenging.
In the blink of an eye, over a month passed.
"Boom."
One day, while Lin Fei was engaged in a sparring match with Sovereign Yuan, Lin Fei's Saber Domain began to expand wildly. Concurrently, the sky was filled with flas and saber glows under the coverage of the Saber Domain.
The domain's pressure surged imnsely, to the point where even Sovereign Yuan's transcendent Sword Domain was barely holding up against the onslaught.
"Has he broken through?"
Sovereign Yuan felt a chill in his heart. He looked at Lin Fei. This situation only occurs when the Saber Domain breaks through. For a mont, Sovereign Yuan felt a mix of emotions.
In just over a month, Lin Fei's Saber Domain had made a breakthrough. And it was all due to his sword domain's sharpening. This rate of progress and improvent was simply unbelievable!
anwhile, Lin Fei's mind roared, and he seed to hear the system's voice faintly.
"Your Saber Domain, after days of diligent cultivation, has progressed by 100%."
"Your Saber Domain has broken through to mastery!"
In Lin Fei's mind, mories of mastering the Saber Domain appeared. After sorting out these mories, Lin Fei willed it, and
"Buzz."
Saber Domain expanded again, sweeping towards Sovereign Yuan.
Sovereign Yuan understood Lin Fei's intention, imdiately releasing his Transcendence sword domain.
"Boom."
Two martial domains. One mastery Saber Domain. One Transcendence sword domain. Both are extrely terrifying martial domains. Now, they were clashing head-on. Even without their Divine Abilities, the power they emitted was already far beyond any top-notch Great Divine Ability.
"Hmm? Your Saber Domain..."
Sovereign Yuan's expression changed instantly. In fact, when Lin Fei's Saber Domain was at beginner level, Sovereign Yuan's sword domain could always suppress it. But now, when Lin Fei's Saber Domain reached mastery, Sovereign Yuan's sword domain could no longer suppress it.
The two were nearly equal. Even if the sword domain had a slight advantage, it was only a slight upper hand. Just using the sword domain, Sovereign Yuan couldn't do anything to Lin Fei. It's worth noting that this is only the mastery level of Saber Domain.
For a mont, Sovereign Yuan felt a mix of emotions. Even if his martial heart was firm, at this mont, he felt so unusual emotions.
"Sovereign Lin, your Saber Domain is now on par with my sword domain." Sovereign Yuan calmly stated. Both of them withdrew their domains.
"System."
Lin Fei thought to himself, imdiately calling up the system panel.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Early Martial Sovereign
Great Divine Ability: Black Wind Prison: Perfection
Great Divine Ability: Gravity Domain: Perfection
Great Divine Ability: Dual-World Saber: Transcendence (Progress 50% )
Saber Domain: Mastery (Progress 0%)
Indeed, Lin Fei's Saber Domain had reached mastery. However, what surprised Lin Fei more was his Great Divine Ability Dual-World Saber. Its cultivation progress was 0 before.
But now?
The progress of the Dual-World Saber has reached 50%. When did this happen? After thinking back, he realized. It must have been when Saber Domain broke through to mastery that the Dual-World Saber also improved. Perhaps this is the benefit of the saber way Divine Ability.
As Lin Fei's Saber Domain improved, his saber way Divine Ability could also improve. And it directly improved by 50%. That is to say, if Lin Fei's Saber Domain could reach Transcendence, would his Dual-World Saber possibly reach perfection?
For a mont, Lin Fei was filled with excitent.
"Sovereign Yuan, let's continue."
Lin Fei wished he could use every mont of every day to hone his Saber Domain. While he could withstand it, Sovereign Yuan couldn't!
