Capítulo 1113: Chapter 1114: Sword Tomb

Lin Fei was ravenous for knowledge in the Scripture Pavilion, reading books from morning until evening.

He not only read about the Nine Realms of Saint Dao but also studied many other books related to Saint Dao.

He learned that Saint Dao was far more profound than Martial Dao.

The most important strength indicator for a saint is the Holy Ring.

The Holy Ring is the aura of the saint.

One layer of strength is one circle of the Holy Ring, nine layers of strength means nine circles of the Holy Ring.

And every time a realm strength increases, the size of the Holy Ring expands tenfold.

Therefore, the Holy Ring of a Ninth-Layer Saint Transformation is a one-meter-nine-circle Holy Ring, and the Holy Ring of a Ninth-Layer Celestial Saint reaches ninety meters and nine circles.

Of course, this is the superficial representation of a saint’s strength; the power of a saint far exceeds that of the Holy Ring. For instance, the first layer of Saint Transformation can possess Holy Power, cultivate Saint Art, and travel underground.

Saints of higher realms can even command thousands of thunderstorms, move mountains, fill seas, and with a single punch, blast a pit hundreds of meters deep into the earth.

A saint possesses extraordinary power, superior to Martial Dao.

Saint elixirs and magical artifacts also have different grades, with the highest being supreme grade, equivalent to Ninth-Layer Celestial Saint peak strength (or efficacy), and the lowest being Ninth Grade, equivalent to the first layer of Saint Transformation strength (efficacy).

After roughly understanding the saints, Saint Dao, and other cultivation-related content, Lin Fei decided to leave the Scripture Pavilion and walk around the Holy Hall.

After all, the Library Pavilion harbors tens of thousands of volumes, which cannot be fully read in a short time. He planned to read them gradually in the coming days.

Upon exiting the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Fei wandered casually through the many temples of the Holy Hall.

Lin Fei found the temples of the Holy Hall to be grand and exuding a sacred aura. He noticed that these temples, whether made of stone or wood, were different from materials in other places.

The building materials of the Holy Hall temples were like metal stone, exuding a metallic texture, seemingly capable of withstanding powerful attacks.

Curious, Lin Fei’s pupils contracted, and his eyes penetrated into the stone and wood of these temple buildings. He noticed numerous golden scriptures within the stone and wood.

However, these scriptures were not etched into the materials but existed in strands of energy within them.

Lin Fei immediately thought that being able to condense energy into scriptures and embed them within the stone and wood of Holy Hall temples was not something ordinary people could achieve.

It is precisely these sacred energies condensed into scriptures that give the temple building materials their metallic texture and extraordinary appearance, while also exuding a sacred aura.

Lin Fei knew the scriptures within the temple building materials were surely left by the Emperor of Light.

Because no one else possesses such divine power.

Lin Fei walked at his leisure and found himself at the rear mountain behind the Holy Hall.

There grew many fruit trees, their branches laden with fruit.

This was perhaps the largest grove Lin Fei had seen since entering Bright Island.

Bright Mountain having such a lush and vibrant forest evidently owed its protection to the power left by the Emperor of Light in the Holy Hall.

Lin Fei had no desire to pick fruits to satiate his hunger, wandering alone in the orchard.

The orchard was vast, spanning over a hundred acres.

Then, Lin Fei discovered a tomb in the center of the orchard.

The tomb was built of bricks and stones, shaped like a hemisphere protruding from the ground, occupying an area of about ten meters in diameter and standing four to five meters high.

Before the huge tomb stood a two-meter-high stone tablet.

The tablet bore only two large red characters, “Sword Tomb.”

Lin Fei couldn’t help but wonder: Is this tomb burying a sword, not a person?

Otherwise, why is it called Sword Tomb?

“This is the Sword Tomb of the Emperor of Light.” At this moment, a voice rang out.

Lin Fei immediately turned to the source of the sound and saw a goat’s figure emerging from between several fruit trees.

It was the Human-faced Goat.

The Human-faced Goat returned to the Scripture Pavilion in the Holy Hall and, not finding Lin Fei there, searched through the temples before finally locating Lin Fei in the orchard at the rear mountain.

Seeing the Human-faced Goat return, Lin Fei’s face broke into a joyful expression: “Elder Shanyang, you’re back.”

The Human-faced Goat looked Lin Fei over and said, “Congratulations on subduing the Saint Fire. Now you are the heir of the Emperor of Light.”

Lin Fei’s face showed confusion and he asked, “The heir of the Emperor of Light?”

The Human-faced Goat’s gaze turned solemn, nodding, “That’s right. In fact, the Saint Fire did not originate from the Spirit Vein of the Pacific Ocean but was a layer of the Emperor of Light’s power cultivated into the Saint Fire.

This Saint Fire was the hope the Emperor of Light left for Bright Continent, and by subduing it, you could become its master. Yet, for tens of thousands of years, the Saint Fire never left the Holy Hall, until a month ago when it reached Flying Heaven Island.

The Saint Fire possessed powerful perception left by the Emperor of Light and probably sensed a new master was about to appear, thus arriving at the millennium cave on Flying Heaven Island. Unexpectedly, the Saint Fire was really subdued by you.”

It was only then that Lin Fei realized the Saint Fire he subdued was crafted by the Emperor of Light using a success of his power.

But what was the Emperor of Light’s purpose in leaving the Saint Fire?

Lin Fei told the Human-faced Goat his inner confusion: “Elder Shanyang, does subduing the Saint Fire left by the Emperor of Light mean I need to do something for the Emperor of Light?”

The Human-faced Goat nodded, “Before leaving Bright Continent to travel to the galaxy in space, the Emperor of Light anticipated a catastrophe befalling Bright Continent.”

The Human-faced Goat narrated that the reason for Bright Continent being swallowed by the ocean and eternally covered in dark demonic qi was due to some ancient demons sealed beneath its surface that would soon awaken.

And once these ancient demons awaken, they will pose a tremendous threat to humanity.

Lin Fei was shocked after hearing this, having no idea Bright Continent harbored so many hidden secrets behind it.

Though he didn’t know what form ancient demons took, they surely possessed terrifying strength and cruel methods.

Once these ancient demons resurface, it would spell nightmare for righteous martial artists, leading to a blood-soaked storm.

Of course, even if ancient demons reappeared, Lin Fei would protect those most dear to him, preventing them from harm.

“Lin Fei, the Emperor of Light passed the Saint Fire to you, hoping you would eliminate these ancient demons.” The Human-faced Goat looked at Lin Fei with expectant eyes.

Lin Fei didn’t want to be a demon-eliminating hero. Though the appearance of ancient demons would bring disaster to many righteous martial artists, the world had always harbored both righteous and demon paths, much like the coexistence of good and evil people.

To Lin Fei, regardless of whether one follows the righteous or demon path, as long as they don’t harm the innocent or commit heinous acts, they are on the righteous path. Conversely, if they commit atrocities and evil deeds, even the righteous path is the demon path.

Though he said this, Lin Fei had just gained the Emperor of Light’s Saint Fire, significantly increasing his strength.

As the saying goes, “when you take something from someone, you should reciprocate.” Having received something from others, he couldn’t remain idle.

“Elder Shanyang, I promise you, if these ancient demons harm others, I will definitely eliminate them.” Lin Fei said to the Human-faced Goat.

The Human-faced Goat nodded with satisfaction and added, “I shall take you inside the Sword Tomb to see something.”
