# Chapter 1459: How to Become an Emperor
Lin Feng and the old man chatted for a while, discussing martial arts and swordsmanship. The old man taught Lin Feng many things. However, when Lin Feng asked about the old man's injuries, the other party just shook his head with a smile and avoided the topic.
Lin Feng naturally would not press the matter. When there was nothing left to say, he took his leave from the old man.
"Do you need the Skyless Sword?" The old man's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled at Lin Feng and asked. The Skyless Sword hovered above Lin Feng's head, humming and ringing, possessing spiritual nature, as if it wanted to follow Lin Feng away.
Lin Feng reached out his hand again, and the Skyless Sword fell into his palm. However, Lin Feng smiled as he stroked the sword's body, saying, "Little one, you have followed me for many days and protected me many times. From now on, you should stay by senior's side to relieve his loneliness."
"Buzz!" The sword howled repeatedly, then flew out from Lin Feng's palm and circled around the old man's body.
"Really don't want it?" The old man asked Lin Feng again with a smile: "This Skyless Sword is stronger than ordinary Imperial Artifacts. With just a single thought from you, it can kill on its own!"
Lin Feng naturally understood this point. The Skyless Sword possessed intelligence and could attack autonomously, just like a person. He only needed to communicate well with the sword. But Lin Feng's gaze remained clear as he smiled and shook his head: "Senior, you also said that I must walk my own path. The Skyless Sword is not my sword. How could I rely on it? Let it accompany senior. I take my leave!"
After saying this, Lin Feng slightly bowed to the old man to show his respect, then stepped out of the Sword Grave and broke through the air, departing.
Seeing Lin Feng leave, the old man revealed an expression of admiration. When Lin Feng had arrived, the old man had actually thought he had come to take the sword. If that had been the case, it would have been understandable, after all, the usefulness of the Skyless Sword to Lin Feng was obvious. But Lin Feng did not; he had truly only come to visit this old man. This made the old man appreciate Lin Feng even more. He was an exceptionally outstanding youth, and he would definitely be able to make it out.
After Lin Feng left, the Skyless Sword howled without ceasing. The entire Sword Grave bloomed with dazzling light, drawing the attention of the Sword Pavilion crowd. The Skyless Sword truly had deep feelings for the young master. The young master was indeed born for the sword.
...
Above the Heavenly Terrace, wind and thunder rolled, sword qi howled fiercely. Many people looked up and saw Lin Feng returning on his sword, directly landing on the Nine Heavens.
As if hearing the commotion, two beautiful figures stepped out from the palace of the Nine Heavens, as ethereal as fairy maidens, transcendent and independent. Lin Feng pulled both women into his arms, pressing their heads against his face, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Although he had not been away for too long, he still missed them somewhat.
"Is everything well at home?" Meng Qing raised her head, her fairy-like beautiful eyes smiling at Lin Feng as she asked softly.
"Good, everything is very good. Those who once turned you into a fox have all been killed by me. I have avenged you and our deceased relatives and friends. Several major powers in the Qian Domain have been wiped out. The Cloud Sea Sect in the Snow Moon Kingdom has been rebuilt and restored. The Imperial Family in Yangzhou City is safe and sound. Everything is well!"
Lin Feng said with a smile. With everything peaceful at home, his heart was at ease when outside. Hearing Lin Feng's words, Meng Qing also revealed a brilliant smile.
"Lin Feng, when will you take me back?" Qiu Yuexin's resentful eyes looked at Lin Feng, making Lin Feng laugh nervously: "When I become an Emperor, I will reunite everyone."
In his heart, Lin Feng was actually a bit afraid of Qiu Yuexin and Xinye meeting. He did not know what would happen when the two identical women encountered each other.
The following period was quite peaceful. Lin Feng cultivated on this Nine Heavens, constantly battling himself within the Misty Illusion Formation, comprehending the power of Heaven and Earth Momentum. And Lin Feng's body, which had been transformed by the Heaven-Seizing Gate, was even more in tune with Heaven and Earth. He found that in this state, his comprehension of Heaven and Earth Momentum would be much faster. A month later, without relying on any divine ability or profound meaning power, Lin Feng could directly gather the momentum of Heaven and Earth to easily annihilate the phantom that could mobilize ten times the power.
Besides battling, Lin Feng would cultivate under the Dao patterns in the palace, quietly comprehending, his mind free of distractions.
Three months later, within the Illusion Formation, two Lin Fengs fought madly. The void power around them converged into a terrifying storm, continuously striking each other, causing the entire void to tremble, as if even this Ninth Heaven would be shaken to collapse. This phantom Lin Feng could gather a hundred times the momentum. Relying solely on Lin Feng's momentum-gathering power, he naturally could not defeat the opponent. But he used divine ability power to contend with the phantom, continuously tempering himself, immersing himself in the situation, feeling the momentum the other party gathered. The Heaven and Earth Momentum he himself could gather became increasingly fierce. After each day's battle, the divine ability power he needed to borrow could be reduced somewhat to maintain this balance.
At this moment, Lin Feng ended another round of battle, panting heavily as he walked out of the Illusion Formation. He saw a figure smiling at him.
"Senior Brother!" Lin Feng saw Mu Chen here and called out with a smile. Mu Chen nodded at Lin Feng with a smile: "Lin Feng, the Heaven and Earth Momentum you can gather now is becoming increasingly formidable. If this pace continues, within two years, you will probably be able to break through this hundred times momentum."
"Two years is too long, and it's only a hundred times momentum!" Lin Feng was not satisfied. However, this momentum-gathering power indeed required gradual progression. Unless there was some enlightenment under specific conditions, it would be difficult to leap across.
"Senior Brother, to enter the Martial Emperor Realm, how strong must the gathered momentum be?" Lin Feng asked Mu Chen.
"The third level Illusion Formation, which is a thousand times momentum. You should have tested its power. That is you capable of gathering a thousand times momentum. How did it feel?" Mu Chen said with a smile. Hearing Mu Chen's words, Lin Feng revealed a bitter smile and shook his head: "A thousand times momentum is too powerful. It feels as if Heaven and Earth respond with a single thought. Even if I use all my power, I cannot contend with it."
"Becoming an Emperor is so difficult!" Lin Feng thought to himself. Gathering a thousand times momentum, plus law power. No wonder there was the saying of ascending to heaven in one step and all beneath the Martial Emperor being ants. Moreover, it truly required time to grind, not something that could be accomplished overnight.
"Of course, otherwise why would there be so few Martial Emperors in the Eight Wastelands? And they are all built up with time, comprehending step by step, ascending to the Imperial throne step by step. Don't think that just because many people have reached the Ninth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, or even possess limit combat power, they are close. They may still have an enormous chasm separating them from the Martial Emperor. Limit Profound Meaning is only close to law. But how many times the Heaven and Earth Momentum can they gather? Perhaps not even as much as you. They have put all their focus into comprehending Limit Profound Meaning to obtain limit combat power. Only afterward will they settle down to comprehend the power of momentum." Mu Chen said with a smile, surprising Lin Feng quite a bit.
He had always thought that Invincible Sovereign Lords with Limit Profound Meaning were infinitely close to Martial Emperors. But Mu Chen's words awakened him. He discovered that this was not the case at all. There might be a terrifying chasm in between. A strong practitioner who controlled Limit Space Profound Meaning could banish people and could already be called an Invincible Sovereign. But if they only had several dozen times the momentum power? They would be very far from the Martial Emperor!
Wanting to become an Emperor was no easy matter!
"Senior Brother Mu Chen is known as the Invincible Venerable. He should have Limit Profound Meaning power. But I wonder what step he has reached in comprehending Heaven and Earth Momentum!" Lin Feng thought to himself, muttering: "Commanding a thousand times momentum, what kind of feeling is that?"
"Haha, you'll know when you reach that step. I heard from the teacher that when you reach a thousand times, your perception will undergo a qualitative change. Right now, when you mobilize Heaven and Earth Momentum, you feel that it is listening to you, that you are borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth. But when you ascend to a thousand times momentum and undergo the qualitative change, you are not making Heaven and Earth Momentum listen to you; rather, you have already become a part of it. They are your hands and feet. You command them as you command your hands and feet. Only then can you draw the law power of the surrounding world from Heaven and Earth into your body, making it your own law power."
"In other words, if you have not gathered a thousand times momentum, even if you clearly feel that you have touched upon law power, you still cannot make it flow through your body. You cannot mobilize law power with a single thought during battle. Law coexists with Heaven and Earth!" Mu Chen patiently explained to Lin Feng. This was the essential principle of becoming an Emperor. Previously, Lin Feng could be vague about it. But now that Lin Feng had reached this realm, he should know how to become an Emperor.
Lin Feng had lived two lifetimes, so his comprehension ability was naturally not a problem. Although it was very profound, he could still understand. Law power was inherently a mysterious and infinite power, existing in the formless. Heaven and Earth were its vessel (zai ti). Any power had to be born by borrowing the qi of Heaven and Earth. To use law power, he first had to make this vessel (zai ti) of Heaven and Earth obey him. He needed to comprehend a thousand times momentum, making the surrounding Heaven and Earth as obedient as his own hands and feet, able to command them at will.
"Come, Lin Feng, let's go to the Outer Heavens. The teacher is just giving a lecture to your senior brothers. Let's go listen together." Mu Chen saw that Lin Feng's gaze was clear and knew he understood his words. Lin Feng nodded. The two broke through the air and arrived at the Small World.
Yu Huang and Lin Feng's senior brothers were just emerging from cleansing, chatting freely, with a certain atmosphere of discussing scriptures and expounding the Dao.
"Lin Feng, you've come!" Yu Huang saw Lin Feng and Mu Chen approaching and smiled slightly. When facing his personal disciples, the teacher was always very easygoing, without the dignified posture of a Martial Emperor, just like an elder.
"Teacher!" Lin Feng smiled and nodded at Yu Huang and the various senior brothers. He came to sit beside the crowd with Mu Chen, free and unrestrained.
"Seeing you cultivate so diligently, I couldn't bear to disturb you. It seems your senior brother couldn't hold back and called you over." Yu Huang said with a smile, making Lin Feng feel quite embarrassed. The teacher had been watching him all along and had deliberately not disturbed his cultivation during this period.
