Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 169: Chapter 169 First Lock, Open!

”I...”

”Did I succeed?”

Ling Feng’s consciousness gradually returned, and he felt his heart, thump! thump!...

beating powerfully!

Beside Ling Feng, the gray-robed elder showed an incredulous expression on his face.

”Really unexpected, he actually managed to succeed!”

The gray-robed elder was an extremely proud emperor, in his lifetime, he considered no one his equal except for himself.

But when he saw Ling Feng endure with sheer willpower, he began to take Ling Feng seriously.

Even he, when creating this cultivation technique, had practiced a very strong Body Refinement Realm technique, making his internal organs exceedingly resilient, otherwise he might not have been able to bear such pain.

”Congratulations, you have succeeded.” The gray-robed elder slowly walked up to Ling Feng and with a gentle wave of his hand, a soft power integrated into Ling Feng’s body, dispelling some of his fatigue.

Ling Feng finally opened his eyes, and when he saw the gray-robed elder, he finally understood he had taken a trip through hell but was still alive!

Ling Feng lay on the ground resting for two hours before he finally recovered some strength and moved his body a bit.

Although he found it very difficult even to clench his fist, he could at least barely control his own body.

”Are you getting used to it?” the gray-robed elder asked with a smile.

”Mm, getting used to it.” Ling Feng nodded slightly, ”I can feel that the First Lock of the Five Mixed Elements Locks is locking the tendons near my heart, compressing my True Qi down to only about one-tenth.”

Under these circumstances, Ling Feng felt that even if he executed the Moving Flower and Burying Jade Sword, he might not be able to defeat even Jia Lang.

”Hehe, this is a good thing.” The gray-robed elder chuckled, ”When you came in, you were at the Second Level of the Magnetic Condensation Realm, but now, the total amount of True Qi in your body might be even less than that of a martial artist who has just entered the Qi Condensation Realm.”

”Take this Jade Scroll, it contains the mnemonic for opening and closing the Mixed Element Lock and the magic of Qi Refining. You just need to use your will to activate the mnemonic to unlock the Mixed Element Lock within your body. Of course, when you want to close it, just recite the mnemonic for closing.”

As he spoke, the gray-robed elder already tossed over a Jade Scroll.

Ling Feng caught the Jade Scroll, and with a thought, he seemed to enter that previous mysterious space, where the complete content of the ”Qi Refining Mixed Element Lock” was.

Ling Feng quickly found the mnemonic mentioned by the gray-robed elder and, following the method described, slowly stirred his True Qi.

”The First Lock, open!”

Buzz!

The moment Ling Feng unlocked the first Mixed Element Lock, True Qi surged out from the sealed meridian near his heart like a tide.

That vast True Qi was not only terrifying in quantity, about ten times than before the seal, but also incredibly pure and condensed.

Powerful!

Ling Feng felt his strength was exponentially greater than before, and he even believed that if the Third Elder of the Jia Mansion stood before him now, he could confidently face him head-on.

Although my realm was still at the Second Level of the Magnetic Condensation Realm, the battle power that I could exert...

Heavenly Resistance!

”This is the power of unleashing just one Mixed Element Lock? The improvement in strength is this much?” Ling Feng was utterly shocked, the effect was even more exaggerated than he had imagined!

”Naturally, by the time you cultivate up to eighteen Mixed Element Locks,” the robed elder said with a smug expression, ”hmph, theoretically speaking, it wouldn’t be impossible for someone at the First Level of the Qi Condensation Realm to thrash someone in the Origin Transformation Realm.”

Ling Feng took a deep breath, for someone in the Qi Condensation Realm to thrash someone in the Origin Transformation Realm...

Who would believe such a thing if it were spoken aloud?

”Kid, remember not to unlock this Mixed Element Lock for too long. Only do it during combat, and keep it sealed at other times to refine your True Qi. If you get strong while the Mixed Element Lock is sealed, when it’s unlocked, you’ll be even stronger!”

”Understood.”

Ling Feng nodded. The logic was simple; if he was as strong with the Mixed Element Lock sealed as when it wasn’t, how powerful would he be once it was unlocked?

The mere thought of it was exciting!

Seeing Ling Feng’s excited expression, the robed elder couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, ”You’re getting excited too early. Right now, I’ve only planted a single Mixed Element Lock in you. Once we plant all eighteen one by one, your battle power will be even more heavenly resistance.”

”Aren’t all eighteen Mixed Element Locks planted into the body at once?” Ling Feng was puzzled.

”How can you ask such a silly question after you seemed so clever?” the robed elder rolled his eyes, ”Planting all eighteen Mixed Element Locks at once would probably kill even me on the spot! If you don’t believe me, we can try it right now. I’ll plant the second Mixed Element Lock in you.”

”Eh... never mind then.”

Ling Feng quickly waved his hands, having just survived a near-death experience, he did not want to go through that again right away.

”When you’ve unlocked the tenth meridian, I’ll fuse the second and third Mixed Element Locks into you. Theoretically speaking, if you could plant all eighteen Mixed Element Locks within your body, you will be able to reach the same realm as my true self!”

”Again?” Ling Feng blinked, not feeling too much dread, ”Senior, you’re not going to keep me here to cultivate indefinitely, are you?”

”Of course not.” The robed elder chuckled, and tossed out a jade token, adding lightly, ”Inside this token is a transmission channel. As long as you channel your True Qi into it, you can be directly transferred back to this place.”

”What a treasure!” Ling Feng took the jade token, carefully pocketing it, and looked expectantly at the robed elder, chuckling, ”Senior, didn’t you say there are three inheritances you’ve left here? Although I can’t receive the second Mixed Element Lock for now, there are still two others...”

”Humph, you wish!” The robed elder gave Ling Feng a look, ”With your current standard, you’re barely considered half a disciple of mine. Only after you have five Mixed Element Locks planted in you will you qualify for the second inheritance.”

”Alright.” Ling Feng touched his nose, not particularly disappointed.

The priority was to get used to the state with the Mixed Element Lock sealed, after all, it is said one should not bite off more than they can chew.

”Kid, now that you’ve successfully integrated the First Mixed Element Lock, if you want to leave, just go to the core of the Spirit Vein outside and press this jade token into it; you’ll naturally be able to exit the Mist Ghost Forest,” the robed elder said indifferently.

”Remember, come find me after you’ve unlocked ten meridians, and don’t disturb me every now and then!”

”I understand.”

”Oh, and one more thing.” The robed elder seemed to remember something and added, ”That Despicable Donkey outside, though stubborn and unmanageable, now that you have my inheritance, it naturally recognizes you as its master. It cannot harm you. Taking it with you should prove somewhat useful, as its strength is considerable.”

”Thank you, Senior. I got it,” Ling Feng nodded, and saw the robed elder wave his hand, instantly sending Ling Feng out of that strange space.

The world around him blurred in a whirl of motion, and when Ling Feng could see clearly again, he stood at the center of the underwater Spirit Vein.
