Unrivaled Comprehension: From Mortal to Immortal King

As Lin Jiufeng was deep in his meditation, he suddenly awakened with surprise. "I didn't expect this to activate my supreme wisdom."

He had been recalling the "Mountain Suppression Seal" used by Changsun Yu. After the transformation of the Feather Ascension Sutra, he had already grasped some of the principles. To his surprise, this led him to comprehend the Tremor Heaven Seal.

"What's the difference between the Tremor Heaven Seal and the Mountain Suppression Seal?" Lin Jiufeng wondered curiously.

The Tremor Heaven Seal is an extremely powerful secret technique. Moving a mountain is easy, but shaking the heavens is difficult. Therefore, being able to shake the heavens means unparalleled strength, exerting pressure on others with momentum rather than relying on the weight of the mountain.

This technique harnesses the power of heaven and earth. The deeper the understanding of the world, the stronger the power of the seal. When cultivated to its peak, it can truly shake the heavens and suppress all enemies.

Lin Jiufeng's eyes brightened as he realized, "With the Tremor Heaven Seal, there's no need for the Mountain Suppression Seal anymore."

In terms of intent, power, and grand principles, the Tremor Heaven Seal far surpasses the Mountain Suppression Seal.

Understanding this, Lin Jiufeng immediately began practicing. Although he had reached the Sixth Realm and could defeat a Seventh Realm cultivator, his current strength was still insufficient to deal with the looming crisis facing Feather Ascension Sect.

The threat of Taishang Dao is immense.

Although the leaders of the Dao Sect claim to be the head of the Dao world, they have not received universal recognition, and yet no one dares to oppose them.

The reason Taishang Dao has been targeting Feather Ascension Sect is not just because of the incident involving Zhou Sheng, but also as a warning to other forces, to caution them against opposing them, for the consequences could be seen through Feather Ascension Sect's fate.

The continued siege by Taishang Dao on Feather Ascension Sect is an open secret. Other major forces believe Feather Ascension will eventually be destroyed, especially after most of the sect's disciples and elders were poached, leaving only Sect Master Bai Yunfei holding on.

Many believe it's only a matter of time before Taishang Dao eradicates the sect's lineage.

For the past few years, Taishang Dao has blocked any resources from entering Feather Ascension, and recently, their disciples have advanced closer, already reaching the foot of the sect's mountain. Nearby forces often come to scout.

They aren't acting out of kindness but to see if they can benefit once Feather Ascension falls. After all, there are many spiritual veins in Feather Ascension's mountains. Since Taishang Dao is far off, they won't station people there. So when the sect collapses, they may have a chance to gain something.

One day, the nearby forces came to investigate as usual, but they found that Taishang Dao's people had silently retreated. Feather Ascension seemed to have been destroyed.

Before they could reach the sect's gate, rumors erupted in the local marketplace.

Taishang Dao lost, with all of their disciples wiped out and their Eighth Realm Grandmaster slain…

Many wandering cultivators in the marketplace witnessed the battle yesterday. At first, they had thought Taishang Dao would win and Feather Ascension would be eradicated.

But the situation reversed so quickly that no one expected Taishang Dao's Eighth Realm Grandmaster to die at the hands of Bai Yunfei, the Sect Master of Feather Ascension, who was only a Seventh Realm cultivator.

Bai Yunfei's victory—defeating an opponent of a higher realm—spread rapidly. However, since wandering cultivators spread the news slowly, it took a while for it to spread across the nearby region.

When the major forces heard the news, they were stunned and found it hard to believe.

Soon, they quickly passed the information on.

Taishang Dao's defeat at Feather Ascension spread like wildfire throughout the cultivation world. Bai Yunfei, Feather Ascension, and his victory against an Eighth Realm Grandmaster were the talk of the town.

Bai Yunfei's name exploded in popularity, and soon his past deeds were uncovered. People realized that the current Sect Master of Feather Ascension was a hidden genius.

As the news of his defeat of the Eighth Realm cultivator spread, many were left wondering what secret technique Bai Yunfei had used to achieve such a feat.

Days later, rumors began circulating that Bai Yunfei had comprehended the Feather Ascension Sutra, which allowed him to defeat the Eighth Realm Grandmaster.

This news was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire world of cultivation. Everyone was stunned.

Bai Yunfei comprehended the Feather Ascension Sutra?

Many rushed to Taishang Dao to verify the story, hoping to learn the truth.

However, Taishang Dao remained silent and refused to respond to the matter.

Since Taishang Dao didn't refute the claims, the world believed them to be true.

The discussions surrounding Bai Yunfei's feats spread through marketplaces and government halls alike.

"Feather Ascension's ancestor used the Feather Ascension Sutra to become invincible at the Ninth Realm. It is said to be a divine technique."

"Not only that, it is rumored that Feather Ascension's founder broke through the Ninth Realm and reached the legendary Tenth Realm, which is why Feather Ascension rose rapidly among the Dao sects."

"Three hundred years ago, Feather Ascension suffered a great disaster and many died. The complete Feather Ascension Sutra was lost, causing the sect to decline. It's unbelievable that someone has comprehended it now."

"Actually, over a hundred years ago, someone also comprehended the Feather Ascension Sutra, similarly breaking through the Seventh Realm to defeat an Eighth Realm opponent, causing quite a stir."

"Here's a fun fact: the person who comprehended the Feather Ascension Sutra over a hundred years ago was Zhou Sheng, the most outstanding disciple of that generation of Feather Ascension."

"Another fun fact: Zhou Sheng, when he was in the Seventh Realm, defeated an Eighth Realm cultivator named Changsun Wujing. Now Bai Yunfei, in the Seventh Realm, defeated Changsun Yu, an Eighth Realm cultivator."

"They're brothers!"

"Both brothers died under the Feather Ascension Sutra?"

These conversations spread quickly, and everyone who heard it found it unbelievable.

Such a dramatic story! Over a hundred years ago, the elder brother was defeated in the Seventh Realm, dying under the Feather Ascension Sutra.

Now, over a hundred years later, the younger brother was defeated the same way, dying under the same technique.

Both were Eighth Realm cultivators of Taishang Dao.

This news shook the entire cultivation world, which had been calm for a long time. Discussions erupted everywhere.

Bai Yunfei became widely known throughout the cultivation world.

As for Lin Jiufeng, while he too completed his breakthrough by defeating a Seventh Realm cultivator in the Sixth Realm, his actions went largely unnoticed.

Compared to Bai Yunfei's dramatic rise, Lin Jiufeng's deeds didn't cause any ripples, and people showed little interest.

This was a good thing for Lin Jiufeng, as he wasn't seeking attention. Especially since his cultivation was still low, becoming too famous could be harmful.

Lin Jiufeng preferred to quietly stay in the Scripture Pavilion, focusing on his enlightenment and cultivation, improving himself.

During these days of external discussions, Lin Jiufeng successfully cultivated the Tremor Heaven Seal. His cultivation also advanced slightly, though it was still far from enough to break through the Seventh Realm.

He took the crescent-shaped white jade pendant Bai Yunfei had given him and headed towards the Sect Master's secret vault.

He was about to open the vault and see what it contained.
