I, the Invincible Genius, Only Want to Live a Low-Key Life - Chapter 5

After eliminating the Rakshasa Sect, Lin Feng did not entangle himself with the members of the Infinite Demon Sect who had rushed over to provide support.

After suppressing the enemy with his Sword Intent, he quickly left.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of being outnumbered.

The main reason was that he didn’t want to expose his identity.

He had learned some basic information about Qian Daoxiong, the Grand Elder of the Infinite Demon Sect, from Leng Hanshuang.

For someone to serve as the Grand Elder of the Infinite Demon Sect, his strength was beyond doubt. Once a fight broke out, Lin Feng’s identity as a disciple of the Divine Sky Sword Sect would inevitably be exposed.

At that point, it would be hard for others not to suspect him.

After all, everything he knew, aside from Sword Intent, was taught by Su Mubai.

The Infinite Demon Sect and the Divine Sky Sword Sect had been enemies for many years; both sides knew each other very well.

Without absolute certainty that he could kill and silence his opponents, Lin Feng chose to retreat for now.

There would be plenty of time to deal with the Infinite Demon Sect in the future. There was no need to rush. Since they dared to use the Rakshasa Sect to target Su Mubai, they were already on Lin Feng’s kill list.

As for those who survived from the Rakshasa Sect, they had been completely crippled. Leaving them alive would make them suffer more than death.

A demonic force like the Infinite Demon Sect would never keep useless people.

While all the top forces in Li Province were focused on Lin Feng, he had already quietly returned to Lone Remnant Peak.

But now, he would no longer lie low as he did before.

In a month, he would have to enter the Nine Nether Secret Realm to search for the Bianhua Flower for his master.

It was still very important to seize every moment to improve his strength.

Previously, Lin Feng always felt that, as long as he didn’t provoke anyone, living alone on Lone Remnant Peak within a top force like the Divine Sky Sword Sect was good enough-at least he could live longer.

But Su Mubai’s severe injury made him realize that the Divine Sky Sword Sect was not invincible, and even here was not truly safe.

If he wanted to live longer, he had to stand at the very top of the food chain.

Divine Sky Sword Sect, Lone Remnant Peak.

Lin Feng sat cross-legged under a large tree, eyes closed and motionless.

If any sword cultivator saw this scene, they would be both envious and shocked.

Because Lin Feng had entered a mysterious and profound state known as Sword Comprehension.

The reason sword cultivators could routinely fight across realms and become figures feared throughout the cultivation world was, most importantly, due to Sword Comprehension.

Sword Comprehension is a crucial component of a sword cultivator’s combat power, even more so than the improvement of one’s cultivation realm. With each level of comprehension, attack power would soar.

From lowest to highest, the stages are: Sword Momentum, Sword Intent, Sword Domain, and Sword Dao.

Each stage is divided into four phases:

Minor Attainment, Small Success, Great Success, and Ultimate.

Only those with extremely high talent in the way of the sword can comprehend these stages.

At this moment, Lin Feng was at the second stage of Sword Comprehension-Sword Intent.

Moreover, he had reached the third phase of Sword Intent: Great Success.

Once he comprehended Ultimate Sword Intent, he would have a chance to grasp the Sword Domain.

Sword Comprehension is the foundation for sword cultivators to fight across realms, but it is not something that can be achieved simply by wishing for it.

In Li Province, the vast majority of ordinary sword cultivators spend their entire lives only able to comprehend Minor Attainment or Small Success in Sword Momentum.

Those who can reach Ultimate Sword Momentum are extremely rare, and those who comprehend the second stage, Sword Intent, are even rarer-like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. As for the third stage, Sword Domain, there has yet to be anyone in Li Province known to have reached it, let alone the final Sword Dao.

For Lin Feng to comprehend Sword Intent in his twenties, his talent in the way of the sword was truly terrifying.

If he were willing to reveal himself, he could immediately become a key disciple cultivated by the Divine Sky Sword Sect and make a name for himself throughout Li Province.

Lin Feng once thought that relying on a powerful sect was enough, so he didn’t pay much attention to cultivation.

But things were different now.

His master was still unconscious. Although he had avenged him, he still needed to enter the Nine Nether Secret Realm to search for the Bianhua Flower.

The Nine Nether Secret Realm opens once every hundred years, and each time is a bloody storm.

Countless forces want to enter and seize opportunities.

Lin Feng dared not place all his hopes on the Divine Sky Sword Sect.

According to his speculation, the Infinite Demon Sect might set traps in the Nine Nether Secret Realm, waiting for the Divine Sky Sword Sect to walk into them.

The two sects had been enemies for years and knew each other well, but Lin Feng was someone the Infinite Demon Sect could never anticipate.

Therefore, before entering the Nine Nether Secret Realm, Lin Feng needed to improve his combat power as much as possible.

For a sword cultivator, the fastest way to enhance combat power is not to raise one’s cultivation, but to comprehend the sword.

Because cultivation cannot be improved in a short time-it requires slow accumulation. But Sword Comprehension might be achieved in a single moment of enlightenment.
If Lin Feng could take another step forward and reach the third realm of sword comprehension-the Sword Domain-

Not to mention the upcoming journey to the Nine Nether Secret Realm, even in Li Province, he would have the strength to walk wherever he pleased.

Half a month later.

Lone Remnant Peak, beneath the ancient millennium tree.

“Hoo!”

Lin Feng opened his eyes and exhaled a murky breath, a trace of disappointment flickering in his gaze.

This time, he had spent half a month comprehending the sword. His Sword Intent advanced further, from Completion to Ultimate, yet he still failed to grasp the Sword Domain.

He was not satisfied with this result.

He had finally put in serious effort, yet failed to meet his expectations.

If other sword cultivators knew what Lin Feng was thinking, they would probably be furious.

To advance his Sword Intent from Completion to Ultimate in just half a month, and to be qualified to comprehend the deeper Sword Domain-how extraordinary must his talent be!

Such rapid progress in sword comprehension was unprecedented in all of Li Province, yet Lin Feng was still not satisfied?

Indeed, comparing oneself to others only breeds resentment.

Although he ultimately failed to comprehend the Sword Domain, Lin Feng faintly sensed that he was not far from that realm-he only needed an opportunity.

But when that opportunity would come was hard to say.

“Sigh! If only I could go to the Sword Tomb to comprehend the sword! The conditions here are still lacking. To grasp the Sword Domain here is probably too difficult, but there should be a chance in the Sword Tomb.” Lin Feng muttered helplessly to himself.

The Sword Tomb he spoke of was the burial ground for swords in the Divine Sky Sword Sect, where countless swords of predecessors since the sect’s founding were interred, including many famous blades.

The Sword Tomb was a holy land for sword cultivators, and the best place to comprehend the sword.

As the Eldest Senior Brother of this generation, Lin Feng should have been the most qualified to enter the Sword Tomb.

Unfortunately, he had always concealed his strength and talent, making his title of Eldest Senior Brother in the Divine Sky Sword Sect little more than an empty name.

He hadn’t even participated in a single Sect Grand Competition.

And the qualification to enter the Sword Tomb was determined by the Sect Grand Competition.

Therefore, Lin Feng could not enter for now.

Unless he revealed his sword talent before the Sect Leader and the sect’s upper echelons, he would immediately be valued by the sect. Not only would he be allowed into the Sword Tomb, he could practically treat it as his home.

But Lin Feng was not ready to do so yet.

With the experiences of his previous life, he firmly believed in one thing:

Keeping a low profile is the true way, and the key to living longer and better.

Unable to enter the Sword Tomb to comprehend the sword, he could only turn his attention to the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

It was said to contain all kinds of rare treasures and spiritual herbs, opening once every hundred years and attracting countless powers to vie for them.

Of course, entering the Nine Nether Secret Realm also had its restrictions.

Namely, one’s bone age must not exceed one hundred years.

If it did, entering would mean being torn apart by the forces of heaven and earth within the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

In other words, each person could only enter once in their lifetime.

This greatly limited the ability of major powers to sweep through the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

After all, with the bone age restriction, many powerful cultivators were kept at bay.

No sect would send all their carefully nurtured genius disciples inside.

If they were wiped out, it would be a disaster.

Every time the Nine Nether Secret Realm opened, there would be lucky ones who obtained great opportunities and soared to fame, shocking the world. Thus, every cultivator under a hundred years old, even those with mediocre talent, wanted to try their luck. If they found some rare treasure or spiritual herb, wouldn’t that completely change their fate?

Lin Feng had no interest in other treasures; his sole target was the Bianhua Flower (Red Spider Lily).

If he cultivated earnestly, he was confident that even without the aid of any spiritual herbs or treasures, he could surpass the vast majority of geniuses within Li Province.

Day after day passed.

Lone Remnant Peak was like a forgotten corner; even when the Divine Sky Sword Sect held its grand ceremonies, it was automatically overlooked.

Lin Feng was quite content with this peace and quiet.

If not for Su Mubai’s accident, he would have liked to stay here forever.

No worries about food or drink, enjoying the scenery when bored, having a barbecue-what could be better?

Why go out and risk life and death?

Lin Feng chose to lie low for two reasons.

First, having lived on Earth, he deeply understood the principle that “the outstanding tree in the forest is the first to be felled” and did not want to be too high-profile.

Second, he felt little sense of belonging to this world, always feeling as if it was just a dream.

Who knows, maybe one day he would wake up from this dream.

There were few people he truly cared about.

His master Su Mubai and his junior sister Su Xiyao were absolutely his top priorities.

They were Lin Feng’s reverse scales; touch them and you die.
