Chapter 458 The ancients were not necessarily stronger than ourselves
Lin Feng hurriedly asked, "What method?"
"Break through to another realm and become a legendary martial arts saint, also known as a martial arts saint."
However, this is just a legend; no one on the Divine Continent has ever become a Martial Saint.
Among the celestial beings, the Martial Saint is also at the peak of combat power.
"Aren't those sect leaders who stay in Taixu also Martial Saints?"
"They can only be considered quasi-Martial Saints. They forcibly pushed their realm up with the help of magic crystals, and they cannot be considered true Martial Saints."
Among all the martial artists in China, not a single one has ever reached the level of a Martial Saint.
However, a Quasi-Martial Saint is already at the pinnacle of the Divine Continent. Even a Grandmaster like myself with three bloodlines is utterly powerless against a Quasi-Martial Saint.
"Then how can one break through to the Martial Saint level?"
"With enough perfected Star Martial skills, one can break through to Martial Saint."
I don't know exactly how many Star Martial Arts gates need to be perfected, but it's definitely more than seven.
"Mastering Star Martial Arts is extremely difficult. A Grandmaster can only master one or two Star Martial Arts in their lifetime, and that's already the limit."
Lin Feng's heart stirred. Others couldn't do it, but he could. His advantage was that he could quickly perfect any martial art by utilizing a breakthrough point.
"What if some martial artists in the Divine Continent could master so many Star Martial Arts?"
"Even if someone can master it, it's useless."
Because the Celestials didn't leave behind that many Star Martial Arts, even if one learned the sect-protecting Star Martial Arts of the seven major sects of the Divine Continent, one still wouldn't be able to break through to the Martial Saint realm.
From the very beginning, the Celestials have been wary of the humans of Shenzhou.
Therefore, reaching the Quasi-Martial Saint level through magic crystals in the Taixu realm is already the limit for Shenzhou warriors.
This method of prolonging life didn't work for me.
You might find it useful in the future; when your lifespan reaches its end, you can rely on the magic crystal to become a quasi-Martial Saint.
The end of his lifespan was too far away for Lin Feng.
I know I will definitely break through to the Martial Saint realm in the future. If I don't have enough Star Martial Arts, I will use my innate true skills to fuse them into Star Martial Arts.
The most urgent matter at hand is how to save Zhang Xiaoyu.
"Ancestor, is there any way to save Zhang Xiaoyu? Or are there any similar clues?"
The Blood Demon Ancestor tossed Lin Feng a Sect Master's Token, saying, "You can take this token to the library to search for ancient books; perhaps you'll find something."
Lin Feng was stunned for a while. Was it really that casual? He just gave him the sect leader's token directly.
Could I be this old man's long-lost son?
The Blood Demon Ancestor stood up and said, "You don't need to think too much, just put the token away."
We are truly of the same kind. I treat you as a junior, so naturally I have to take care of you.
I'm tired and need to go back and rest. If you need anything, just come find me.
After finishing his speech, the Blood Demon Ancestor left the courtyard.
Lin Feng immediately left the sect master's hall and headed towards the library.
I need to hurry to the library. If that old guy changes his mind and takes the token back, I won't have a chance to go.
As Lin Feng went out, he ran into Zhang Xiaoyu, who was walking over in a hurry.
Seeing that Lin Feng visibly relaxed, Zhang Xiaoyu stepped forward, grabbed Lin Feng's arm, and asked, "I heard my master took you away. He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"No, he felt we clicked and invited me for tea and a chat."
"And so, after I finished my tea, they let me leave."
"I'm relieved that you're okay."
The cannibalistic old demon in Zhang Xiaoyu's mind said, "Hmph, that traitorous disciple and your brother get along well."
Then your brother must be no good either.
Zhang Xiaoyu quickly defended himself, "My brother is just too easygoing; he gets along with everyone."
Lin Feng heard their conversation clearly.
That cannibalistic old devil is a real scoundrel, stirring things up like this, and it seems he even wants Brother Zhang to attack him.
Lin Feng said with a smile, "Brother Zhang, aren't you busy cultivating? You should go and cultivate. I'll wander around for a while longer and then head back to the Demon Guild Hall at the foot of the mountain."
Zhang Xiaoyu took the opportunity to back down, fearing that he would implicate Lin Feng, and tried to avoid being with Lin Feng as much as possible.
"Okay, I'll head back now."
After the two parted ways, Lin Feng went to the Blood Demon Sect's library.
The people at the entrance of the library tried to stop Lin Feng, but Lin Feng showed them the sect leader's order, and they immediately let him pass.
With this token, Lin Feng could move freely throughout the entire library.
He spent half an hour memorizing all the books in the library.
The Blood Demon Sect's library has far more books than the Sword Sect's library.
Lin Feng planned to first read some history books, biographies, and miscellaneous books to see if anyone before him had encountered such a case.
Lin Feng first looked at the history of ancient times.
According to the history recorded in the Blood Demon, after the Celestials left the Divine Continent, the human heroes suffered heavy losses.
Taking advantage of the situation, the four major families of the Sword Sect and other second- or third-rate families of the righteous sects joined forces to wipe out the ancestral hero families who contributed the most to the war between gods and demons, completely erasing them from history.
These despicable and shameless second- or third-rate families eventually built an everlasting empire.
Those heroic ancestors who fought and sacrificed everything to defeat the demon race ended up falling at the hands of their own people.
The veracity of this historical account is difficult to ascertain, and it is suspected of smearing the righteous path.
Because there is no mention of the demonic path in this period of history.
Even if it's true, the heroic families of their ancestors were not completely wiped out. Princess Chu Chu once said that her family were descendants of human heroes.
None of that mattered; Lin Feng glanced at it and moved on.
Lin Feng was looking for information about the Taixu Demon.
The records on the demonic path are much richer than those on the righteous path.
Lin Feng found some information about Taixu in a book.
The Great Void appeared only after the celestial beings had departed.
The appearance of the Taixu humans is somewhat unique, resembling a hybrid of celestial beings and humans from Shenzhou.
When celestial beings and humans from the divine land unite, their offspring are raised in secret places, preventing them from contacting outsiders.
A master once saw it by chance.
He felt that the Taixu humans were extremely similar to the hybrids of the Celestials and the Shenzhou humans.
This information was of no use in saving Zhang Xiaoyu, so Lin Feng glanced at it and put it aside.
Lin Feng was getting frustrated after searching through all the books but finding nothing useful.
That evening, he returned to the Demon Guild.
He tossed and turned in his room, unable to sleep.
He wanted to visit the libraries of all the major sects and memorize all their books, hoping that this might help him find a way to save Brother Zhang.
But doing so is too risky. The library is a vital place for all sects, and the leaders of other sects are not as easy to talk to as the Blood Demon Ancestor, who would directly hand over the sect leader's token to him.
If I were to force my way into the various sects' library pavilions, I would inevitably be caught in a fierce battle, and my identity would likely be exposed.
Once their identities are exposed, the evil spirits from Wuji Palace will definitely come looking for them, which could easily cause the situation to spiral out of control.
Lin Feng sat down to meditate and regulate his breathing, forcing himself to calm down.
Two hours later, Lin Feng opened his eyes.
He felt he was getting a bit stuck in a rut.
Why must we always seek solutions from the ancients?
The ancients were not necessarily better than ourselves.
Instead of wasting your energy, you should think about it yourself.
After thinking calmly for a while, Lin Feng realized that to solve the problem, he first needed to communicate normally with Zhang Xiaoyu.
The cannibalistic demon is hiding in Zhang Xiaoyu's mind. The cannibalistic demon knows everything that he and Zhang Xiaoyu say, making it impossible to communicate properly.
Thinking in this direction, Lin Feng quickly came up with a way to establish communication with Zhang Xiaoyu.
He plans to try it first thing tomorrow morning.
