I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1271: Force Overcomes All Techniques

Deep within the heart of the Divine Land.

An opulent island of immense proportions, outshining even the legendary fairylands, stretched across the horizon with its myriad of cities and grand palaces. While it lacked the frantic energy of the Sky Island, it remained a truly formidable territory within the Fallen God's Land.

The central capital.

Lin Ruowei and her attendant, Yu'er, arrived in a carriage pulled by rare, exotic beasts, pulling up before a modest courtyard situated on the outskirts of the city.

The residence appeared humble, yet it occupied a tranquil and secluded spot—a remarkable luxury in a capital where land was priced higher than gold. Even Yu'er, who had recently grown accustomed to the wonders of the Divine Land, couldn't hide her astonishment.

Scanning their surroundings, she leaned toward her mistress and spoke in a low voice.

"Miss, what kind of place is this?"

"I think it finally makes sense now. This explains why you've been so focused on your inquiries lately and insisted on coming here. There must be someone of immense importance living inside, right?"

Lin Ruowei nodded subtly, responding through a private voice transmission.

"You've sharpened your wits a bit, girl."

"A senior from our clan has lived here in seclusion for a long time. He is a direct blood relative; according to our family records, I should call him Third Uncle. He is a member of the Profound Gate, just like us."

Yu'er nodded as she listened, though a trace of confusion remained.

"So he is a clan uncle..."

"But, Miss, your status is so exalted. Even the founding patriarch of the Profound Gate is your direct ancestor. Why do you need to lower yourself by coming here to pay respects to this elder time and again?"

Before she could finish her thought, Lin Ruowei turned to her with a look of stern gravity.

"Do not be disrespectful."

"Even though Third Uncle holds no formal title and hasn't stepped into the sect for years, he remains the backbone of our clan. I am not exaggerating when I say that if Third Uncle were to make a move, most major sects would have to back down. Even the current sect master treats him with absolute deference!"

"If you speak so carelessly again, I will have no choice but to punish you when we return."

Terrified by the rebuke, Yu'er quickly bowed her head and stuck out her tongue in a silent apology.

"Please don't be angry, Miss. Yu'er won't dare speak out of turn about the clan uncle ever again..."

However, being a spirited young maid, her curiosity was piqued by the mention of such a legendary figure. Moments later, she wore a playful grin and resumed her gossiping via voice transmission.

"Miss, could you give me just a small hint so I don't make a mistake later? For this lord to be so respected, his cultivation must be truly monstrous, right?"

Observing her maid’s clever antics, Lin Ruowei could only roll her eyes in helpless resignation.

"You..."

"Third Uncle’s power resonates across the four directions; naturally, his cultivation is immense. It is rumored that years ago, he had already surpassed the Heavenly Rank and attained the Half-Step Desolation Realm!"

"Even in the context of the Divine Land, Third Uncle's talent is viewed as one in ten thousand. He has reached a height that most of us can only dream of achieving."

Upon hearing this, the young maid was completely dazed.

In her mind, she envisioned an invincible master looking down upon all of creation. Even if millions of cultivators struggled to stand before him, they would be nothing more than insignificant ants.

The path of the Great Dao is long and treacherous, littered with the failures of countless geniuses.

This lord had already reached the distant shore, making him a peerless talent rarely seen throughout history!

Yu'er stood frozen for a long moment before finally regaining her composure.

Her bright eyes were now brimming with deep respect as she nodded, her expression transformed by awe.

"No wonder you were so determined to see him, Miss. This clan uncle is a truly incredible elder. Compared to him, the other elders in our Profound Gate seem quite ordinary!"

It was a slip of the tongue born of genuine emotion, but she had once again spoken her mind without thinking—a persistent habit.

If those words reached the wrong ears, many elders would surely take offense.

Lin Ruowei didn't scold her harshly this time, but she did offer a serious warning.

"Watch your tongue."

"Our Profound Gate is home to many exceptional talents. The sect master, with his immense power and vision, is a figure far beyond the reach of most. My persistence in visiting Third Uncle isn't meant to look down on the other elders. It is entirely for the sake of Senior Yi Feng."

Yi Feng...?

At the mention of that weighty name, the maid’s eyes widened in sudden realization.

Right then, the weathered, simple gate slowly creaked open.

A calm, relaxed voice drifted out from within.

"Enter."

The mistress and maid were both elated. They immediately cut their conversation short, straightened their clothes, and walked inside with dignified steps.

After crossing through the garden, they reached an ancient tree in the rear courtyard. There, they spotted a middle-aged man tending to his plants. Clad in a simple, clean robe, he was pruning the greenery as if he were a common mortal.

Even from a mere glimpse of his back, the aura of returning to one's true nature and simplicity filled them with profound admiration.

The Great Dao is fundamentally simple. Only an elder who has mastered the Desolation Realm could project such a presence, embodying a state that is both deep and incomprehensible!

Before Lin Ruowei could offer her greetings, the elder slowly turned his head. His face showed subtle signs of aging, yet it didn't make him look old; instead, it lent a scholarly grace to his refined features.

His eyes, which shone like stars, were remarkably steady, providing an immediate sense of comfort to those who looked into them.

The little maid was nearly entranced.

The elder, however, maintained a peaceful smile. He dusted off his hands and took a seat on a long bench.

"I, Lin Xiao, have wandered the world freely and long ago stopped meddling in mundane affairs. I didn't expect to meet relatives from my home. You are quite diligent."

"If there is a problem you cannot solve, speak of it plainly."

His direct and open manner suggested he could see through most things with a single glance.

Lin Ruowei bowed in gratitude, her expression a mix of embarrassment and nerves as she explained her visit.

As she finished her story, the previously unbothered Lin Xiao seemed moved, as if stirred by old memories, and he let out a soft sigh.

"Most people in this world pursue the Dao with singular focus, and those blinded by greed are far too many to count."

"It is rare to see a junior with such a sense of justice, willing to face danger for a friend. This Yi Feng is truly impressive. And for my niece to possess such a grateful heart is also commendable..."

"Very well, I will go with you on this trip."

Lin Ruowei was overjoyed by his decisive answer.

"Thank you, Third Uncle."

Bowing deeply once more, her eyes were filled with relief. This was the best possible result—she could repay Senior Yi Feng’s kindness without bringing unnecessary trouble to her uncle.

However, when she thought of the Black Dragon Divine Guards they were about to confront, she still felt a lingering worry.

Her recent research had shown that even though the Black Dragon Divine Guards operated on the fringes, they were a powerhouse organization. Yao Qianji, in particular, was a man of great mystery who had been established in the Divine Land for ten millennia—hardly an easy opponent.

After a moment of thought, Lin Ruowei decided to voice her concerns honestly.

"Third Uncle, I am incredibly grateful for your help."

"With you involved, there will surely be no accidents. But as they say, 'even a powerful dragon finds it hard to crush a local snake.' If the enemy has deep connections, this situation might draw in other factions."

"Should I look further into their background before we take action?"

Having spoken her mind, Lin Ruowei felt her heart race.

She had tried to be diplomatic, but the words could still be taken the wrong way. She wasn't sure how Third Uncle would react. Yet, because she was driven by her conscience to repay a debt, she felt obligated to mention the risks, even at the risk of offending him.

While she waited in silence, Lin Xiao actually laughed, the warmth in his eyes increasing.

"Haha..."

"Excellent. My niece is truly a talent with a bright future. To handle things with such caution and thoroughness at your age is impressive. Having the courage to speak the truth shows even better character."

Such wisdom and broad-mindedness—he was truly a legendary genius of the clan!

His praise made both the mistress and the maid beam with pride.

As they celebrated, Lin Xiao’s tone became more serious.

"However, worrying about social ties and connections is a worldly perspective. That is a minor path, not something worth following."

"Once your cultivation reaches a high enough level, you will grasp the truth that 'absolute strength breaks all schemes.' In the face of true power, everything else is just a passing cloud. When you enter the Desolation Realm, the entire Lan Star will become much more welcoming."

At this point, Lin Xiao stood up slowly, a flash of dominant power appearing in his eyes.

"Before me, let alone a mere Black Dragon Divine Guard, even an Elder of the Divine Palace would treat me with respect. This small matter requires no more discussion!"

As he spoke, Lin Ruowei and Yu'er were struck with reverence, completely captivated by the senior's aura!
