Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 910: Chapter 911: Mechanical Mage! (4 Updates)

In no time, Ling Feng arrived at Cangqiong Mountain together with Yue Yunlan, directly meeting with Sect Master Yue Zhonglian.

At this moment, Yue Zhonglian was browsing through dossiers in his study. As the Sect Master of the National Guardian Divine Sect, apart from cultivation, the matters he had to deal with were indeed quite complex. Moreover, Yue Zhonglian personally attended to everything, and a minister like him truly was a blessing to the Empire.

Fortunately, after several treatments, Yue Zhonglian’s health had improved significantly, and his mental state was much better than before.

Apart from Yue Zhonglian, there were also several elders and sect elders in the study, discussing something, with Wen Tingguang naturally among them.

Seeing Ling Feng coming along with Yue Yunlan, Wen Tingguang’s expression immediately became somewhat ambiguous, muttering inwardly: Could this lad have finally come around to propose?

“Father.”

Upon entering, Yue Yunlan hugged Yue Zhonglian’s arm and acted coyly, as if giving her father a preventive injection.

“Hmph, you girl, becoming more and more unruly. Don’t you see I’m discussing important matters with these elders?”

Yue Zhonglian frowned slightly, giving his daughter a disapproving look.

However, Yue Yunlan was his only daughter, and compared to several sons, daughters were naturally more considerate and pampered.

“Father, I also have important matters to discuss with you!”

As Yue Yunlan spoke, she leaned in and whispered to her father about the “Holy Dragon Dominator Blood Pill.”

“Is that so.”

Yue Zhonglian nodded. Normally, the Qingji Pavilion would never open to outsiders, but Ling Feng did save his life, and his relationship with his daughter wasn’t bad at all, maybe even family in the future, so opening it once wasn’t a big deal.

Moreover, if he didn’t agree, he feared his precious daughter would never let it go.

“Alright then.”

After pondering for a moment, Yue Zhonglian nodded and said to Wen Tingguang in the hall, “Elder Wen, may I trouble you to take the Fourth Miss and our young friend Ling Feng to the Qingji Pavilion.”

“Yes, Sect Master!”

Wen Tingguang’s face immediately bore a smile; the Sect Leader had even opened the Qingji Pavilion to Ling Feng. Clearly, he was already considered one of them!

The surrounding elders, possessing a bit of perceptiveness, all immediately looked at Ling Feng with increased regard.

This young man will likely become the “Prince Consort” of the Cangqiong Sect in the future!

“Thank you, father!”

Yue Yunlan grinned and, acting coyly in her father’s arms, gave Ling Feng a triumphant look.

Ling Feng stepped forward and bowed to Yue Zhonglian, “Thank you, Sect Leader.”

“Mm.” Yue Zhonglian nodded gently, and slowly said, “The Qingji Pavilion is an important place in Cangqiong Sect. Once you find the materials you need, leave quickly and don’t linger long!”

“Yes!”

Ling Feng nodded emphatically, then saw Wen Tingguang step forward with a smile, “Brother Ling, follow me.”

Ling Feng smiled broadly, “Alright, then I’ll trouble Brother Wen to lead the way!”

…

Before long, the group stopped in front of a majestic pavilion, and only then did Ling Feng let out a sigh of relief.

To reach here, there were a total of six checkpoints ahead, six arrays; without the Sect Leader’s oral decree or the method to dismantle the array, one couldn’t get close by half a step.

It must be said, as the National Guardian Divine Sect of the Sky White Empire, the defenses within Cangqiong Sect could truly be described as “impregnable.”

“Brother Ling, this is the Qingji Pavilion, I’ll take you inside.”

Wen Tingguang glanced back at Ling Feng, chuckling.

“Mm.” Ling Feng followed behind him. With such a huge building, without a specific method of searching, trying to find records about the Ancient Imperial Gate would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Yue Yunlan, evidently here for the first time as well, was somewhat surprised, saying, “Young Master Ling, if not for your mention, I wouldn’t have thought there might be ancient records about the Ancient Imperial Gate in the Qingji Pavilion.”

Ling Feng touched his nose, murmuring, “That’s what my teacher told me.”

“Haha, no need to guess. Back then, Yan Cangtian, to refine a kind of elixir, first snuck into the Imperial City by night, then secretly infiltrated the Qingji Pavilion, stealing quite a few books. It was only when he returned the books intact that we knew he’d sneaked into the Qingji Pavilion.”

Wen Tingguang chuckled bitterly, “It was precisely because of that incident that our Cangqiong Sect strengthened the defenses of the twelve pavilions storing important dossiers. The Qingji Pavilion is secondary; those storing other military secrets are truly frightening! Even for me, I have to go in with at least three other elders to enter.”

Ling Feng nodded silently; this method was indeed smart. Even if one person betrayed the sect, with several elders entering together, monitoring each other, no one could do anything treacherous.

Very soon, Wen Tingguang led Ling Feng to a high platform, with a very spacious platform in the front, and some peculiar crystals at the front, appearing to be an operating panel.

“This is the search tool designed by the Mechanical Mages of our Cangqiong Sect’s Xuan Mechanism Hall, taking twenty years.”

Wen Tingguang pressed a square crystal stone beside him, then addressed the spheroid crystal in front, “Index all books related to the Ancient Imperial Gate.”

Soon, the platform before them emitted lights of various colors, and a synthesized voice emanated from the sphere, “Indexed 1,024 times, found 307 books related to the Ancient Imperial Gate.”

“Wow, amazing!”

Ling Feng’s eyes lit up, marveling at the talents of the Xuanji Pavilion, truly astonishing.

Yue Yunlan and Qiaoqiao were also visibly shocked by the scene; they, too, had never known that in Cangqiong Sect, there was a Xuan Mechanism Hall dedicated to studying mechanical techniques.

“Heh, though mechanical techniques have always been considered a minor art, they are rather useful.”

Wen Tingguang chuckled lightly, “For instance, mechanical birds can replace flying mounts; mechanical beasts can replace demon pets. All in all, they have many wonderful uses!”

“Impressive!” Ling Feng couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up, curiously asking, “Since mechanical techniques have such wide applications, why do so few people seem to use things like mechanical beasts?”

“Most aspects are manageable, but the fatal flaw of mechanical techniques is that they’re extremely costly in Elemental Stones.”

Wen Tingguang shook his head with a smile, “Set aside crafting costs; to activate a mechanical beast with Divine Origin Realm combat power requires about three Elemental Crystals per activation, lasting for around two hours. Handling one or two is fine, but when deployed on a battlefield, can you imagine how this expense would be more terrifying than maintaining a demon beast?”

“Indeed.” Ling Feng nodded, thinking that such expensive things indeed made it difficult for large-scale production.

However, he owned the Five Elements Heavenly Palace and lacked nothing but money.

“Brother Wen, given the chance, I’d like to meet your sect’s mechanical mages, to exchange knowledge.”

Ling Feng touched his nose, a thought of rapidly expanding the sect flashed through his mind; though it was just a concept now, it wouldn’t take long to become a reality.
