Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1367: Chapter 1368: Emperor Spirit Domain! (2nd Update)

In the Eight Halls of the Heavenly Realm, dark currents surged, with many disciples and elders in the Inner Sect coveting the Yin Yang Soul Jade Ling Feng had acquired, yet Ling Feng was entirely oblivious to it all.

Or perhaps, even if he knew, it didn’t really matter.

After all, once a treasure was in Ling Feng’s hands, there was no reason to give it away, even if the King of Heaven himself came.

At noon, Ling Feng and Yan Guying headed together to a coveted place among Outer Disciples: the Earth Emperor Pool!

The Earth Emperor Pool, directly mirroring the Immortal Pond above in the Heavenly Realm, was the foundation of the Immortal Pond, brimming with immense Five Element Spiritual Energy, where Yin and Yang endlessly cycled.

Anyone who cultivated there could enhance their progress dozens of times compared to the outside world.

When Ling Feng and Yan Guying arrived at the gates of the Earth Emperor Pool, they were surprised to see over a hundred people gathered outside the Spiritual Pond!

These disciples were mostly from the Inner Sect, with Outer Disciples rarely seen. Then again, it made sense, as Outer Disciples had limited ways of earning Contribution Points. In contrast, Inner Sect Disciples, especially Direct Disciples, could directly receive gifts from their masters, making it easy to obtain an Earth Emperor Token.

What surprised Ling Feng even more was seeing many familiar faces among them. These were fellow disciples who had participated in the East Spirit Immortal Pond qualification assessment alongside him, such as Princess Qianling and Luu Tianyi, who were outstanding candidates selected during the assessment.

Seeing Ling Feng’s surprised expression, Yan Guying leaned closer and whispered, ”It’s customary for newly promoted Direct Disciples to receive an Earth Emperor Token from the elders within the first month. So, as soon as they arrive at the Immortal Pond, they gain a tremendous opportunity, unlike the regular Outer and Inner Sect Disciples.”

Ling Feng nodded slightly. Ordinary disciples might spend decades, even centuries, without earning enough Contribution Points for an Earth Emperor Token, while these Direct Disciples could immediately use the Earth Emperor Pool for cultivation upon reaching the East Spirit Immortal Pond.

The difference in treatment was indeed vast.

However, it’s a good thing Ling Feng wasn’t too bad off himself, being self-reliant after all!

”Eh? Junior Brother Ling?”

A familiar voice from behind made Ling Feng turn around, a smile forming on his face, ”So it’s Senior Sister Lee! What brings you here as well?”

It was none other than Lee Fei, an Inner Sect Disciple from the Flowing Fire Hall.

Ling Feng held a good impression of this Senior Sister.

Lee Fei walked up to Ling Feng with graceful composure, smiling gently, ”I must confess, after observing your battle with Wang Ruquan last time, I gained some insight from your swordsmanship, so I’m hoping for a breakthrough in the Earth Emperor Pool.”

”Oh?” Ling Feng was slightly taken aback, and Lee Fei quickly added, ”You might not know yet, but the Earth Emperor Pool is not only a place for cultivation but also for breakthroughs. Any bottleneck or barrier can be somewhat weakened within it. Thus, even Inner Sect Disciples often spend substantial Contribution Points to exchange for an Earth Emperor Token. Of course, Inner Sect Disciples enjoy a 20% discount. If you need one in the future, Junior Brother Ling, I can help you purchase it.”

”Thank you very much, Senior Sister!”

Ling Feng couldn’t help but marvel inwardly; Inner Sect Disciples indeed had it good, casually saving thousands of Contribution Points just like that, with which many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could be exchanged at the Merit Hall!

”Since we’ve met by chance, let’s go together. During the fight for the Spirit Land later, we can help each other.”

Lee Fei softly suggested with a smile.

”Spirit Land battle?” Ling Feng was again surprised, clearly ignorant of the rules within the Earth Emperor Pool.

Yan Guying quickly explained, ”Junior Brother Ling, I was going to tell you. The Earth Emperor Pool isn’t uniform everywhere. It’s divided into five levels by the concentration of Spiritual Energy. The closer to the core area, the richer the Spiritual Energy. The core is known as the Emperor Spirit Domain, accessible only to Emperor Strong to break through the surrounding Spiritual Jade and enter for cultivation.”

”Outside the Emperor Spirit Domain, the areas are categorized into Heavenly, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow levels, with Heavenly-level Spirit Lands having the strongest Spiritual Energy and Yellow-level the weakest. Admittedly, in my last visit to the Earth Emperor Pool, I barely managed to secure a Yellow-level Spirit Land.”

Ling Feng nodded slightly, noting the information, and then heard Lee Fei advise, ”Junior Brother Ling, I know you are ambitious, but when in the Earth Emperor Pool, one must not aim too high, or you’ll waste an Earth Emperor Token for nothing.”

”Hmm.” Ling Feng nodded slightly, though he was not overly concerned.

Since he was there, he had to see for himself what kind of mysterious place the Emperor Spirit Domain was.

”Alright, the time is about right; let’s head in together.”

Lee Fei laughed heartily, resting her hands on her sword. The breeze stirred her tied hair, making her valiant and captivating.

”Thank you, Senior Sister.” Ling Feng gratefully clasped his hands.

Lee Fei shook her head with a smile: ”No need to be modest. You’re above me, having defeated Wang Ruquan, so teaming up with you is my benefit.”

Ling Feng touched his nose, responded only with a faint smile, and said nothing more.

Beside him, Yan Guying looked embarrassed, as his strength was just barely enough not to be left behind.

Lee Fei agreed to bring him due to Ling Feng’s connections.

Otherwise, despite Yan Guying’s status as the third in the Heavenly Sword rankings among the Outer Sect, Lee Fei, given her standing, might not have paid him much attention.

Considering this, Yan Guying felt a sense of relief.

”Oh, I have another person in my team. Let me introduce her to you.” Lee Fei waved to the distance, ”Xiao Ling, come over here. I’ve found two more suitable helpers.”

Xiao Ling? Ling Feng looked in the direction indicated, his brow immediately furrowing.

The woman named ”Xiao Ling” was indeed the very Fong Ling who had tricked him into going to the Elixir Ding Hall!

Fortunately, he was adept at the Alchemy Dao; otherwise, Ye Xiong would have tormented him to no end.

Fong Ling emerged from the crowd and spotted Ling Feng at once.

Her already stern, pretty face turned frosty, pointing at Ling Feng, ”Sister Fei, how do you know him?”

”You know each other?”

Lee Fei was surprised and turned to look at Ling Feng, only to see a similarly helpless expression on his face.

”Conceited fool!”

Fong Ling’s mouth twitched slightly, glaring discontentedly at Ling Feng, ”Why are you entangling with my Sister Fei?”

”Damn...” Ling Feng cursed inwardly. He hadn’t even lost his temper yet, and this woman was already making accusations.

He couldn’t remember ever wronging this woman.

Women are indeed irrational beings.

”Xiao Ling, is there some misunderstanding here?”

Lee Fei, head aching, stepped forward to mediate, inquiring about the situation.

Ling Feng shrugged helplessly, indicating his innocence. Clearly, it was Fong Ling who had no reason targeting him.

Fong Ling felt guilty, mainly due to her jealousy, seeing Elder Turtle highly regard Ling Feng, prompting her to make things difficult for him a few times.

Unexpectedly, Ling Feng not only emerged unscathed each time but effortlessly resolved each of her challenges. Now, within less than a month since joining the Outer Sect, he had become a leading figure among Outer Disciples.
