Unrivaled Comprehension: From Mortal to Immortal King

After six months of accumulation, relying on the Suffering Sea Beyond written by the old monk, Lin Jiufeng comprehended The Fish Leaps Over the Sea and successfully broke through the Sixth Ban.

This was an unexpected surprise for him.

Having never fully comprehended Dao Rhyme before, he thought it was impossible to break through the Sixth Ban so quickly. Unexpectedly, a serendipitous reading session allowed him to make rapid progress.

Upon entering the Sixth Ban, the Dao Rhyme he comprehended entered his Sea of Consciousness. Beneath his Primordial Spirit, surrounded by countless stars, a large white carp swam leisurely.

The immense energy brought by the white carp spread from Lin Jiufeng's Primordial Spirit Sea of Consciousness to his entire body.

Boom!

A powerful force began cleansing Lin Jiufeng's entire body frantically.

His muscles expanded, and his strength surged, instantly breaking through the threshold of forty dragons and forty elephants.

Lin Jiufeng's entire body turned bright red, like a cooked prawn, as the immense energy surged uncontrollably within him. Behind him, an astonishing vision emerged.

A true dragon roared, soaring through the sky.

A divine elephant bellowed, trampling the earth.

It was utterly terrifying.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

The energy within Lin Jiufeng surged violently, like tidal waves crashing down, overflowing without restraint, continuously elevating his strength.

Fifty dragons, fifty elephants.

Sixty dragons, sixty elephants.

Seventy dragons, seventy elephants.

…

Only when he reached a hundred dragons and a hundred elephants did the energy gradually settle.

As his explosive surge of energy stabilized, Lin Jiufeng smiled and said, "The book states that from the Fifth Ban onward, each subsequent Ban brings an earth-shattering transformation. It is indeed true."

A hundred dragons and a hundred elephants—if he unleashed this power, he could overturn mountains and seas.

And this was only the Sixth Ban. How powerful would the Seventh and Eighth Bans be?

Given enough time, becoming powerful was not an issue.

But the Feathered Immortal Sect no longer had much time.

The Supreme Dao had already surrounded the sect, pressing in on the gates. Six months had passed, and the newly advanced Eighth Ban Dao Ancestor could arrive at any moment.

With this in mind, Lin Jiufeng's joy from breaking through quickly faded.

He looked toward the Golden Summit Hall.

Inside, Bai Yunfei had been in seclusion for over two years, his aura unchanged.

It was uncertain when he would break through.

"Fortunately, I comprehended the Dao Rhyme and attained The Fish Leaps Over the Sea, breaking through the Sixth Ban and gaining the strength of a hundred dragons and a hundred elephants. At least now, I have some means of self-preservation. If we reach a true crisis, I can fight with all my might to escape with the three little ones."

Lin Jiufeng sighed inwardly. He truly did not want to abandon the Scripture Pavilion, where he had lived for a hundred years.

Now, he could only pray that Bai Yunfei would break through soon.

Looking down the mountain through the Scripture Pavilion, he saw Supreme Dao disciples stationed at regular intervals.

Layer upon layer, heavily guarded, sealing off the Feathered Immortal Sect completely.

Most of these disciples were only at the Third or Fourth Ban, with a Seventh Ban Elder named Qing Shan leading them.

He merely observed, maintaining the blockade without launching an attack.

He had been defeated by Bai Yunfei before. Without the Eighth Ban Dao Ancestor, he would not act rashly.

"Elder Qing Shan, why are we besieging them instead of attacking?" a disciple asked curiously.

Elder Qing Shan, thin and sallow-faced, replied, "The Sect Master of the Feathered Immortal Sect, Bai Yunfei, is extremely powerful. We must wait for the Eighth Ban Dao Ancestor to arrive."

"Which Dao Ancestor is coming?" a Sixth Ban disciple inquired.

"It is our Supreme Dao's newly advanced Eighth Ban Dao Ancestor—Changsun Yu," Qing Shan said solemnly.

"Changsun Yu? He seems to be the younger brother of Changsun Wuji." The Sixth Ban disciple thought for a moment and was surprised.

Qing Shan nodded. "Yes, he is."

"A hundred years ago, Changsun Wuji was an unparalleled genius, ascending rapidly in the ranks. Before turning a hundred, he had already become our Supreme Dao's Eighth Ban Dao Ancestor. But unfortunately, he encountered an even greater genius—Zhou Sheng."

"In the Battle of the Ancient Desert, Zhou Sheng, wielding the Feathered Ascension Sutra, killed Changsun Wuji despite only being at the Seventh Ban. He then broke through to the Eighth Ban, becoming famous. This enraged our Supreme Dao's Supreme Patriarch, who personally took action and eliminated Zhou Sheng."

"Since that time, Changsun Yu announced he would enter a death seclusion, vowing not to emerge unless he broke through. A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and now he has finally become an Eighth Ban Dao Ancestor."

The Sixth Ban disciple knew much about Changsun Yu's past and explained in detail.

Qing Shan sighed as he listened. "Indeed. Changsun Wuji and I joined the sect at the same time. He rose effortlessly, reaching the Sixth Ban while I had only just entered the Third Ban. By the time I barely reached the Fifth Ban, he had already become an Eighth Ban Dao Ancestor. He was regarded as a once-in-five-thousand-years supreme genius of Supreme Dao. But sadly, he met an even greater monster, Zhou Sheng, and perished in obscurity."

"Changsun Yu was never as gifted as his elder brother, but he always sought revenge for him. After a hundred years in death seclusion, he finally broke through to the Eighth Ban Dao Ancestor. His first act upon emerging was to come and annihilate the Feathered Immortal Sect."

"Having stabilized his cultivation for half a year, Changsun Yu has sent word—he will arrive today."

"That means today is the day the Feathered Immortal Sect falls."

Qing Shan gazed toward the Golden Summit Hall, his expression smug.

No matter how powerful Bai Yunfei was, he lacked the backing. Without it, he would inevitably fall.

Boom!!!

Just as Qing Shan finished speaking, a series of explosions suddenly resounded throughout the sky.

This was extreme speed—someone was traveling at such velocity that they shattered the air, creating sonic booms. The force came from a great distance, but in an instant, it reached the mountain, shaking the forests.

Under everyone's gaze, in front of the Golden Summit Hall, a figure appeared, suspended in midair.

Profound Dao energy flowed around him.

He had a handsome face, stepped upon Yin-Yang, and had a halo of golden light behind his head. His robes fluttered like those of a celestial being. Walking through the void as though taking a casual stroll, his posture was upright and confident.

The newcomer was none other than Changsun Yu.

Qing Shan looked at him and murmured nostalgically, "He looks more and more like his brother."

That fallen, peerless genius of Supreme Dao—

Changsun Wuji!

At the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Jiufeng stood with Wen Xinyun and the other two, their expressions solemn.

The three young disciples knew that this was the sect's moment of life and death. Their faces were tense, their fists clenched tightly in silence.

They had already reached the Third Ban at the age of twelve—peerless talents.

But an unripe genius was useless in this crisis.

The only one who could truly make a difference was Bai Yunfei in the Golden Summit Hall.

As Changsun Yu arrived with overwhelming presence, Bai Yunfei, naturally, sensed him.

Thus, after over two years in seclusion, he stepped out of the Golden Summit Hall.

His appearance remained unchanged.

Clad in white, with smooth skin and a youthful, childlike face, he looked no older than a teenager.

Yet in his eyes, there were traces of time—different from a child's innocence.

"Master is out!" Wen Xinyun tugged on Lin Jiufeng's sleeve in excitement.

Zhou Tianzi and Yue Dashan were equally delighted, looking at Bai Yunfei expectantly.

Lin Jiufeng, too, observed him. After breaking through the Sixth Ban, he could clearly sense Bai Yunfei's aura—

Seventh Ban Peak.

Two years of seclusion, yet he had not taken the final step to the Eighth Ban Dao Ancestor level.

His opponent, Changsun Yu, was a true Eighth Ban Dao Ancestor.

Could he win?
