The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 489: The Three Locks Open Simultaneously!

"Uh..." Ling Feng's eyes twitched. In other words, the spiritual thoughts left by the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation in his sea of mind essentially gave him another life!

"Great Emperor Tiance did not have an evil reputation, but it's always good to be cautious of others. This can be considered a contingency measure left for you."

The Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation lightly stroked his long beard and said, "But young one, there's something I must remind you of. The sea of mind is the foundation for a martial artist's soul source. Unless it's someone you completely trust, never easily open your sea of mind to let others' spiritual consciousness in."

"I will remember that," Ling Feng nodded quickly.

"Mm, my spiritual thoughts are too refined for you. Even though I can't directly enhance your spiritual consciousness, you can slowly improve your own spiritual consciousness by comprehending these spiritual thoughts."

The Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation smiled mysteriously and then said slowly, "Alright, I've taught you everything I needed to and said everything that had to be said. Young one, you can leave now. Come find me again after you advance to the Spiritual Element Realm."

"Thank you, Senior!"

Ling Feng bowed to the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation. The old man with an immortal demeanor waved his sleeve, and a vortex opened, pulling Ling Feng directly into it.

The next moment, Ling Feng found himself outside the inheritance cave once more.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng, still struggling to adapt to his body, began to slowly retrace his steps. When he reached the dense elemental stone veins, he found that the despicable donkey had extracted three whole veins!

This wasn't mining; it had taken the entire veins intact!

Ling Feng's mouth twitched, but fortunately, the donkey hadn't disturbed the core of the spirit ore vein.

"Yo, brat, you're out?"

The despicable donkey, with a wild grass from who knows where in its mouth, leaned against the rock wall, crossing its legs and looking smugly at Ling Feng. It was clear that the donkey had thoroughly enjoyed its mining spree.

"You despicable donkey, you'll die from your greed one day!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, too exhausted to argue with the donkey. Instead, he began slowly moving his limbs to adapt to the suppression of the three Primordial Locks.

"Three Primordial Locks, huh?" The despicable donkey glanced at Ling Feng and noticed his aura had plummeted, seemingly to just over ten meridian gates. However, knowing about the Primordial Locks, the donkey guessed that Ling Feng had probably opened seventy to eighty meridian gates.

This is quite impressive!

It should be noted that the Tianbai Emperor had advanced to the Transformation Realm at eighty-one meridian gates, but Ling Feng still had room for further breakthroughs.

"Yeah, it's hard to adjust all at once." Ling Feng took out the Eradicator of Realms and began practicing all the sword techniques he had mastered in an open area.

Only by doing this could he quickly adapt to his current physical state.

As the saying goes, sharpening the axe will not delay the work of chopping firewood. He was in no hurry to leave as the Wenxian Sect was practically within reach.

"You practice at your own pace. This divine beast is going back to the bamboo house to rest!"

The despicable donkey, not wanting to waste time in front of Ling Feng, nudged its mouth, got up, and started walking out of the vein. It didn't forget to remind Ling Feng, "Don't forget to call me when you leave!"

"Mm." Ling Feng nodded slightly, slowly swinging his long sword. Starting with the Starshatter Sword Art he had first practiced, he knew that once he could effortlessly perform all his sword techniques again, it would be time to leave.

...

Time passed quickly, and three days went by.

"Onslaught of Endless Falling Leaves!"

"Flower-Transposing Jade-Burying!"

"Six Paths of Rise and Fall!"

In a grassy clearing, Ling Feng unleashed three sword techniques in rapid succession. Sword qi slashed through the air and cut a large strip of the ground.

"Finally, I've adapted to the suppression of the third Primordial Lock," Ling Feng muttered while squinting his eyes and steadying his mind. He brought his energy to its peak state and shouted, "The first lock, open!"

Buzz!

In an instant, Ling Feng's aura surged, transforming from a mere kitten to a ferocious beast.

"The second lock, open!"

"The third lock, open!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The true qi that had been suppressed for three days erupted violently, forming a ten-zhang[1] wall of energy. The surrounding area of ten zhang was blasted into disarray.

"Indeed, eighty meridian gates!" The despicable donkey leaped up from the ground, muttering to itself. "With all three locks open, this kid's actual combat power has probably reached the level of the Spiritual Element Realm!"

Feeling the terrifying power within him, Ling Feng's heart swelled with a sense of dominance.

If he encountered prodigies like Li Yunting and Yun Qianfan again, he might not necessarily be able to defeat them, but he would certainly have the strength to face them head-on.

In a life-and-death battle, with the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art, he was confident he could even kill them!

However, such geniuses would undoubtedly have their own trump cards, making them not so easy to deal with.

Regardless, the gap between himself and Yan Jinghong had significantly narrowed.

"It's time to leave!"

Closing all three Primordial Locks within him, Ling Feng found that he could still move with the agility of a swallow. Utilizing the Boundless Sword Steps, he estimated his speed had returned to around when he was at twenty meridian gates.

"Let's go!"

Upon hearing the word "leave," the despicable donkey immediately perked up. "Hurry up, kid! This divine beast is about to die of boredom in this place!"

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, not saying much. He quickly brought the despicable donkey to the teleportation array in the underwater vein. Activating the array, they soon found themselves outside the Misty Ghost Forest.

About half an hour later, they reached the edge of the forest and saw a bustling city ahead.

Hanwu County!

Ling Feng squinted, clenching his fists as a sense of hatred welled up within him!

He remembered being chased by the third elder of the Jia Family from Hanwu County. He had sworn that if he survived, he would make sure that the Jia Family was eradicated! (t/n:See Chapter 164: Misty Ghost Forest!)

After leaving the Misty Ghost Forest that day, he had killed the third elder of the Jia Family. However, he had been in a hurry to take the assessment at Tianwei Academy in the imperial capital and did not know how many other experts the Jia Family had, so he hadn't settled the score immediately.

Now, with his strength significantly increased, it was time to fulfill his vow.

If he did not eliminate this shadow over his heart, it would hinder his cultivation progress and potentially cause inner demons to form.

The enmity between himself and the Jia Family was irreconcilable. To avoid implicating his sect, he needed to root them out completely.

This was the world of cultivators, where the strong preyed on the weak!

After all, when the Jia Family sent people to kill him, had they shown any mercy at all?
