The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 893: Youre Such a Freak

After leaving the fortress, the group split up. Ling Feng headed straight for Misty Ghost Forest to establish new Qi-Refining Primordial Locks. Meanwhile, Li Bufan would first go to Luohe City before using the teleportation array to return to Tianwei Academy, as originally planned.

"Brother Li," Ling Feng suddenly said midway, "I need to handle some sect business. You and Qianxue should return to the imperial capital first." freēnovelkiss.com

He proposed taking Tuoba Yan back to his sect while Li Bufan and Mu Qianxue returned to Tianwei Academy.

At that moment, she couldn't help but feel a bit envious of Tuoba Yan, who could stay by Ling Feng's side as his maid. At the very least, she got to spend more time with him.

"Then let's part ways here."

Ling Feng patted Li Bufan's shoulder. "Brother Li, Qianxue, farewell. And Brother Li, take good care of Qianxue."

Turning to Tuoba Yan, he said simply, "Yan'er, let's go."

"Big Brother Ling..."

Poor Mu Qianxue's heart cried out silently, but Ling Feng didn't look back.

Only after Ling Feng had gone some distance did Li Bufan speak. "Junior Sister Mu, we should get going."

"Oh..." Mu Qianxue bit her lip, watching helplessly as Ling Feng disappeared into the distance.

...

Deep in the forest, Ling Feng glanced at Tuoba Yan. Originally he hadn't planned to bring anyone to Misty Ghost Forest, but since Tuoba Yan couldn't leave his side, he had no choice.

After everything they had been through and the life-and-death trials they had faced together, Ling Feng no longer felt any need to keep his guard up around Tuoba Yan.

"Yan'er, I'm taking you somewhere. Just wait outside when we get there."

Tuoba Yan gave a slight nod, her expression cold and indifferent as usual.

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile. First summoning the Despicable Donkey, then taking out the token given by Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation, he activated the array. Soon they arrived at Misty Ghost Forest.

"Heh, we're back!"

Despicable Donkey's mood was completely different now. What he once hated now felt almost like coming home.

Ling Feng tossed Little Qiongqi to the donkey. "This is your territory. Keep Yan'er company while I meet the senior."

Despicable Donkey plucked a flower to chew on. "Getting new Primordial Locks? Hope you don't die from the pain!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. This guy really hasn't changed, still just as shameless the moment he opens his mouth!

"Yan'er, wait here."

After giving Tuoba Yan some instructions, Ling Feng used the Water-Resistant Pearl to part the lake waters. Soon he reached the depths of the elemental stone vein and entered Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation inheritance cavern.

"Senior, I'm back!"

Light flashed as a vortex pulled him in. When his vision cleared, Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation stood before him, hands behind his back, naturally imposing.

"You kid, you actually survived!"

Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation examined Ling Feng's intact body and seemed to relax.

"Ugh..."

Ling Feng suddenly remembered, when he'd entered Great Emperor Tiance's tomb and been attacked by the emperor's vengeful soul, it was the spiritual thoughts left in his consciousness sea by Tianbai Emperor's manifestation that had saved him.

"I haven't thanked you yet, senior. Without your spiritual thoughts protecting me last time, I might not be here today."

Ling Feng bowed deeply.

"When those thoughts shattered, I was sure you were dead," the manifestation said with a bitter smile. "But seeing you alive puts my mind at ease."

"Sorry for worrying you."

"Hmph! You're my only successor. If you died, who would I pass my skills to?"

Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation laughed heartily, then asked, "So why are you here this time?"

"Nothing too important," Ling Feng said awkwardly.

"Nothing important? Do you know each awakening shortens my lifespan?" Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation glared, eyebrows furrowed.

"Em..." Ling Feng rubbed his nose. "Senior, I've reached peak Transformation Realm. I hope you can impart all the Primordial Locks for this level at once!"

"Wha... what?"

The manifestation stared in shock. "Kid, your hundred meridians limit..."

"Already broken through."

Ling Feng smiled, activating his meridian gates. The explosive pulses left Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation speechless.

"A hundred meridians limit!"

When Ling Feng first mentioned this goal, Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation had been skeptical. Even with the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit's power, breaking past eighty meridians was impressive enough. But the full hundred? That was legendary.

Yet Ling Feng had achieved what even divine races couldn't. What kind of monstrous successor had he found?

"Less than half a year..."

Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation swallowed hard, utterly shocked. This was truly unprecedented.

"Kid, you're such a freak!"

After a long pause, the manifestation finally spoke again.

"..." Ling Feng's face darkened. "You could just call me a genius or monster..."

"Those words don't do you justice. You're a complete freak!"

The Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation let out a loud laugh. "Good, very good! If you ever reach the same heights as my true self, you might even save this old man!"

"Em... What do you mean?" Ling Feng blinked.

"Although all I have left is a final wisp of spiritual consciousness, if you truly succeed in cultivating the Immortal Dao, there's still a chance you could rebuild my body," Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation said solemnly. "Boy, if that day ever comes..."

"If that day comes, I'll never forget your guidance. I'll definitely restore your body!" Ling Feng vowed sincerely.

"Ha! Though it seems impossible now, at least I have hope." Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation gazed at Ling Feng deeply. "Enough talk. Since you've reached the Transformation Realm, I'll implant both Qi-Refining Primordial Locks at once!"

"Kid, the pain won't be any less this time. Are you ready?"

Ling Feng took a deep breath and nodded firmly. "Bring it on!"
