Chapter 520: The Number One Under Heaven

【Ten Thousand Blood Bead

Level: Level 19, 76%

Blood Soul: 481

Blood Soul Skills: Blood Rage (Strong), Blood Fiend (Strong), Blood Might (Strong), Blood Spring (Strong)

Transformation Skill: Blood Demon】

The Ten Thousand Blood Bead rose two levels in a row, going straight from level 17 to level 19, and the energy value for level 19 was already more than half complete!

The two levels provided Li Fei with a total of 70 Blood Souls. Added to the physical enhancement brought by 【Flame Core】 breaking through to the Qi Transformation stage, Li Fei's total Blood Soul count reached 481.

If he rose one more level, his total Blood Soul count would exceed 500.

Intuition told Li Fei that once the total Blood Soul count exceeded 500, the Ten Thousand Blood Bead would undergo a new change!

At this moment, Li Fei suddenly felt a bit envious of the Imperial Prince and the others.

The giant stone before him contained energy at the Martial Saint level, which was why the Ten Thousand Blood Bead could rise two levels in a row.

If he could also enjoy the treatment of an Imperial Prince, he could let a Martial Saint-level powerhouse beat him up every day.

How fast would the Ten Thousand Blood Bead's leveling speed be then?

"This subordinate has seen many Foundation Establishment martial artists come here before; without exception, not one of them could last more than ten seconds in front of this stone. Yet you just lasted over twenty seconds!"

Ji Huang Qian's words interrupted Li Fei's reverie.

"Oh? And what about Martial Arts Masters?"

Li Fei asked.

Ji Huang Qian: "Martial Arts Masters all last over thirty seconds; the longest one lasted nearly three minutes."

Li Fei nodded.

In that case, his performance just now was already approaching that of a Martial Arts Master; no wonder Ji Huang Qian was so amazed.

After all, the gap between a Foundation Establishment martial artist and a Martial Arts Master is like a natural chasm!

What Li Fei did not know was that what happened here had already been reported to the Emperor, who was enjoying the flowers in a pavilion at this moment.

"Your Majesty, Li Fei has entered the Imperial Library and lasted twenty-seven seconds in front of the Founding Emperor's stone carving."

A eunuch reported from outside the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, besides the Emperor, there was also a beautiful, glamorous woman with skin as white as snow and a dignified air accompanying him.

This woman was Imperial Concubine Liu, the most favored concubine in the current inner palace, and also the biological mother of the Third Imperial Prince, Qin Qin Ziyuan.

"Twenty-seven seconds?"

Imperial Concubine Liu revealed a look of surprise upon hearing this.

While pouring wine for the Emperor, she said: "Your Majesty, this concubine remembers that when Deputy Commander Wenren entered the Imperial Library back then, he only lasted ten seconds in front of the Founding Emperor's stone carving."

The Deputy Commander Wenren she spoke of was Wenren Hu, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard, a peak Foundation Establishment powerhouse, and also the tenth-ranked person on the Wind and Cloud General Ranking.

Initially, the Green-Faced Ghost suddenly made the list, pushing Wenren Hu out of the top ten of the general ranking. Later, Kou Fa and Qin Zhen both broke through their realms to become Martial Arts Masters, and Wenren Hu returned to tenth place.

This Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard had received a reward five years ago, allowing him to enter the Imperial Library to choose one secret manual from below the tenth floor.

Although Wenren Hu had not reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage at that time, he was already at the 6.5 tier of Foundation Establishment.

With such strength, plus Wenren Hu's talent, he only lasted ten seconds in front of the Founding Emperor's stone carving.

Li Fei had only integrated three types of implants, yet he could last twenty-seven seconds, which made Imperial Concubine Liu very astonished.

Every movement and smile of hers naturally carried a kind of charm; compared to Feng Feng Sanniang, whom Li Fei had met, she had a bit more nobility and a touch of girlish naivety, truly making her lovable.

The Emperor smiled and pinched Imperial Concubine Liu's hand: "This Li Fei's mental strength far exceeds that of martial artists in the same realm, and he likely possesses some kind of talent that makes his mind far more stable than others, which is why he had such a performance."

He had heard the entire process of Li Fei's battle with the Imperial Prince and knew that the final decisive move was Li Fei hard-tanking a 【Dragon Soaring the World】 and then seizing the opportunity to counterattack.

From this, he concluded that Li Fei's mind was far more stable than others, which was also a powerful talent.

"No wonder he could become the first in history."

Imperial Concubine Liu sighed with emotion, then picked up her wine cup and said to the Emperor in a girlish tone:

"Since this Li Fei has such talent, this concubine must congratulate Your Majesty on gaining another pillar of the state!"

"Hahaha."

The Emperor also picked up his wine cup to toast with Imperial Concubine Liu, and after taking a sip of wine:

"Whether he is a pillar of the state remains to be tested."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Liu's eyes shifted, and then she continued to accompany the Emperor in drinking with a smile.

Inside the Imperial Library, Li Fei began to ascend the floors accompanied by Ji Huang Qian.

"Lord Li, this tower has a total of twelve floors. The bottom six floors contain a total of 181 cultivation methods for top-tier Foundation Establishment, as well as 3,427 martial arts involving various high-level forces."

The seventh to tenth floors contain a total of 716 types of martial arts involving the Dao Force level.

The eleventh floor contains 78 types of cultivation methods involving divine abilities.

The twelfth floor houses 34 cultivation methods involving the Martial Dao Domain.

While ascending the floors, Ji Huang Qian introduced them to Li Fei.

The levels of martial arts in the world are based on the martial artist's realm; martial arts involving high-level forces belong to the Foundation Establishment level, which are already high-level martial arts.

Martial arts involving Dao Force are what are commonly known as top-tier martial arts and peerless martial arts!

Anything above Dao Force has already transcended the level of martial arts.

Both "Eight Parts of Vajra" and "Seven Martial Arts of the True Dragon" belong to peerless martial arts; although they only stop at the Dao Force level, it does not mean they are useless to Martial Arts Masters and Grandmasters.

Martial Arts Masters cannot use divine abilities as basic attacks; most of the time they use Dao Force, and they also use Dao Force in conjunction with their divine abilities.

Grandmasters are the same when they are not deploying their Martial Dao Domain.

Therefore, peerless martial arts are also valuable to Martial Arts Masters and Grandmasters.

"The tenth floor houses a total of 157 peerless martial arts involving Dao Force. Usually, Foundation Establishment martial artists who receive a reward and are able to enter this library want nothing more than to come to the tenth floor and choose a peerless martial art."

"The four parts of the 'Eight Parts of Vajra' that you want, Lord Li, are all housed on the tenth floor. However, since His Majesty said you could choose any secret manual, you can also go to the eleventh and twelfth floors to take a look."

Ji Huang Qian said to Li Fei.

Li Fei nodded. The secret manuals on the eleventh floor involved divine abilities, and those on the twelfth floor involved the Martial Dao Domain. This was still too advanced for him at his current stage; even if he got the manuals, they would be of no use.

Of course, if he considered the long-term future, he could also choose one from among them.

The Heaven-Governing Sect inheritance left to him by Hao Yi only reached the level of involving methods for using divine abilities cultivated from a few types of Foundation Establishment.

Although the founder of the Heaven-Governing Sect was a Grandmaster, the inheritance he left regarding the Martial Dao Domain had been lost, so the inheritance Hao Yi gave to Li Fei did not involve cultivation methods at this level.

"Lord Ji, which four parts of the 'Eight Parts of Vajra' are housed on the tenth floor?"

Li Fei asked.

He wanted to understand this first before deciding whether to go to the eleventh and twelfth floors.

"They are the 'Red Sound Fire Vajra Method', 'Green Disaster-Eliminating Vajra Method', 'Fixed Calamity Vajra Method', and 'Purple Virtue Vajra Method'."

Ji Huang Qian introduced.

He had done his homework thoroughly before Li Fei arrived.

Li Fei had also done his homework in advance and had a general understanding of the "Eight Parts of Vajra".

Not to mention the "Red Sound Fire Vajra Method" he had already practiced, the "Green Disaster-Eliminating Vajra Method" was a defense-oriented martial art that could fully unleash the eternal, unbreakable characteristics of Vajra Force!

The "Fixed Calamity Vajra Method" was also a defense-type martial art, just in a different direction.

Back at the Martial Arts Exchange Tournament, Ming Qi had used this martial art; it was a martial art that could allow a martial artist to be immune to various abnormal statuses and resist all kinds of mental attacks!

Finally, there was the "Purple Virtue Vajra Method", which was a martial art involving the mind. Like the "Dragon Soaring the World" from the Seven Martial Arts of the True Dragon used by the Imperial Prince, it was primarily focused on the application of mental power.

By this time, Li Fei and Ji Huang Qian had already ascended to the tenth floor and had to make a decision.

The "Green Disaster-Eliminating Vajra Method" focused on defense; for Li Fei, who possessed the Ten Thousand Blood Bead, the demand for it was not that high.

So if he were to choose two secret manuals, Li Fei would choose the "Fixed Calamity Vajra Method" and the "Purple Virtue Vajra Method".

The Ten Thousand Blood Bead could only transfer attacks that caused direct damage. If it were control-type methods, or mental attacks such as sensory shielding, hallucinations, distorted senses, suppression, or sealing, the Ten Thousand Blood Bead could not transfer them.

And this part could be handled by the "Fixed Calamity Vajra Method"; it could make up for the shortcomings of the Ten Thousand Blood Bead.

Simply put, this was a divine skill for breaking crowd control!

As for the "Purple Virtue Vajra Method", it could fully utilize Li Fei's advantages; after all, Li Fei's mental power far exceeded that of martial artists in the same realm.

Previously, Li Fei had always used this advantage to control his force and practice martial arts, resisting opponents' attacks, but he had not fully applied this advantage to offense.

"Lord Ji."

Li Fei looked at Ji Huang Qian, "You have been in this library for so long, do you know if there are any secret manuals on the eleventh and twelfth floors that are particularly worth seeing?"

He decided to ask Ji Huang Qian directly.

The Emperor's oral decree said he could enter the Imperial Library within the day, which meant Li Fei actually only had most of the day.

This amount of time was definitely not enough to slowly "treasure hunt" in the library, so Li Fei chose to trust Ji Huang Qian.

If the secret manual recommended by the other party was better, he would consider choosing it.

If not, he would decisively take away two parts of the "Eight Parts of Vajra".

Ji Huang Qian thought for a moment and looked at Li Fei: "This subordinate does not understand Lord Li's specific cultivation situation, so it is inconvenient to give any suggestions."

"Hmm."

Just as Li Fei was about to state his decision, Ji Huang Qian suddenly said:

"However, the twelfth floor houses a notebook, and this subordinate feels that perhaps Lord Li might be interested."

"What notebook?"

"Lin Lin Tianyi's notebook!"

"Who?"

Li Fei's eyes widened abruptly.

Lin Lin Tianyi, the supreme of the current age.

That's right, the very same "one supreme, three demons, five true persons, seven martial saints" supreme!

The founder and Sect Master of the Lin Tianyi Pavilion.

In the thousand-year history of the martial path, he is the only one who has successfully walked the path of "dual cultivation of magic and martial arts," being both a martial saint and a true person.

Lin Lin Tianyi, the universally acknowledged number one in the world today!

To think that the notes of this "supreme" were actually collected within this Imperial Library?

"Please, Lord Ji, take me to see them."

Li Fei said without the slightest hesitation.

There will be another chapter around 12 o'clock, requesting monthly votes.
