Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Nine Yang Cave Heaven!

The so-called Nine Yang Cave Heaven is a very special Holy Land for cultivation within Du Yue Heaven Palace.

Like all the other various blessed grounds, entering the Nine Yang Cave Heaven also requires spending an enormous amount of Contribution Points.

Each time, one billion!

Inside the Nine Yang Cave Heaven, the density of nature’s spiritual energy has already reached an unimaginable level.

No, it should be said that this is no longer merely nature’s spiritual energy; it can even be called Immortal Spiritual Energy!

Take the Immortal Pond of East Spirit Immortal Pond as an example. The Immortal Pond is already a rare Blessed Land Cave Heaven in the mortal world and has even given rise to a vast Holy Land like East Spirit Immortal Pond. Yet the grade of Spiritual Energy in the Nine Yang Cave Heaven is still far above that of the Immortal Pond.

The Nine Yang Cave Heavens affiliated with Du Yue Heaven Palace number ten in total. Nine of them are occupied by the nine major families respectively, and only one, with the most concentrated Spiritual Energy, is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Elder echelon of Du Yue Heaven Palace.

No matter which family’s Elder or even Family Head wishes to use this particular Nine Yang Cave Heaven, they must pay the corresponding Contribution Points.

Although the cost is exorbitant, the Martial Artists who borrow the Nine Yang Cave Heaven for cultivation each month are in fact scheduled to the brim.

Moreover, they are basically all at Elder-level existence; at worst, they are direct-lineage geniuses of the nine major families.

As for ordinary students, they practically don’t even need to think about it.

Let alone that colossal figure of one billion, which they almost impossibly could afford, there’s also the matter of scheduling.

They have no right to use the Cave Heavens belonging to the nine major families, and without specially greasing the wheels for the Nine Yang Cave Heaven jointly managed by the nine major families, there’s almost no way to get on the schedule.

At this moment, several figures flew in from the horizon and slowly landed in the canyon where the Nine Yang Cave Heaven was located.

These people were naturally Hall Master Jiaan Guangyi of the Eastern Alliance and several other Hall Masters.

Upon seeing that Ling Feng had actually broken through the Hundred Gods Bombarding Immortal Formation, these people could no longer remain calm.

The sense of crisis Ling Feng brought was simply too intense; even at the risk of being reprimanded by Dongfang Chun, they had no choice but to go early and call Dongfang Chun out of seclusion.

Finally, the few of them stopped before a cave shrouded in golden light.

”Senior Brother Dongfang, your subordinate Jiaan Guangyi has an urgent matter and seeks an audience!”

With a thud, Jiaan Guangyi directly knelt outside the cave. The other Hall Masters were even almost lying prone on the ground, their faces full of reverence.

”Hall Master Jiaan, did I not say that during my secluded cultivation, no one is to disturb me?”

A bland voice came from within the cave, and Jiaan Guangyi and the others immediately let out a breath of relief.

It seemed Dongfang Chun was not angry.

”Senior Brother Dongfang, such an extremely serious situation has arisen that we had no choice but to disturb you!”

Jiaan Guangyi said in a deep voice, ”Senior Brother Dongfang, do you still remember that before you went into seclusion, you had us go recruit that Ling Feng?”

”Ling Feng?”

Dongfang Chun’s voice came out from the cave. ”It seems there was such a matter. What, he didn’t agree?”

”Not only did he refuse, he even spouted arrogant words, saying he would challenge you within two months!”

Jiaan Guangyi said through gritted teeth.

”So unable to recognize what’s good for him?” Dongfang Chun’s voice grew a few degrees colder, carrying a trace of disdain as he said slowly, ”For such an arrogant brat, do you still need me to teach you how to deal with him? Hall Master Jiaan, you really are living backward as you get older!”

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Jiaan Guangyi’s face. ”Senior Brother Dongfang, if we were able to deal with that brat, why would we have come running to trouble you?”

Then Jiaan Guangyi let out a series of long sighs and short groans, laying out all the ’good deeds’ Ling Feng had done over the past month or so to Dongfang Chun.

He didn’t even dare conceal in the slightest the humiliating disgrace of Ling Feng coming to their door and beating them all into pig-heads.

”What? He actually defeated you six in succession and even created some Lingyun Alliance?”

Dongfang Chun’s voice turned as cold as ice itself, instantly making Jiaan Guangyi and the others feel a chill that wasn’t from the weather.

”Even Bu Jinglei lost?”

Dongfang Chun continued to ask.

”Not only did he lose, that day he was just like the six of us—beaten into a pig-head by Ling Feng!” Guan Shanyue said with a wry face.

”And today, he even cleared the Sky-reaching Sword Tower and broke through the Hundred Gods Bombarding Immortal Formation!”

Jiaan Guangyi added.

”It seems I should come out of seclusion ahead of time.”

Dongfang Chun’s voice returned to its original calmness. ”A month or so without emerging, and unexpectedly another interesting brat appears. But does he really think that with the great river’s waves, the later waves will push the former waves onto the beach to die? To think he can step on me, Dongfang Chun, to rise—he’s still far too green!”

”Yes, with Senior Brother Dongfang personally taking action, it will naturally be a trivial matter.”

The faces of all the Hall Masters showed hope; at last there was someone who could rub down that Ling Feng’s sharp edge.

”Spread the news for me: three days from now, I will come out of seclusion! And as for that Ling Feng’s challenge, I, Dongfang Chun, accept it!”

Dongfang Chun’s voice was calm, indifferent, brooking no argument.

The Six Great Hall Masters all bowed in unison toward the direction of the cave. ”Your subordinates accept the command!”

...

The next day, yet another utterly shocking piece of news exploded within Du Yue Heaven Palace.

Following Ling Feng, another person succeeded in breaking through the Hundred Gods Bombarding Immortal Formation and cleared the Sky-reaching Sword Tower.

This person was a student who had already been all but invisible within Du Yue Heaven Palace for many years—Xiao Hen.

This Xiao Hen had once been the most outstanding genius of the Xiao Family, but later on he directly abandoned the Sword Dao to focus exclusively on the Soul Dao.

Originally, Xiao Hen also held a considerable position in Du Yue Heaven Palace, and many Martial Artists were very respectful toward him.

But ever since he devoted himself to the Soul Dao, his temperament changed drastically, and he almost never appeared in Du Yue Heaven Palace again.

As time went by, people even gradually forgot that there had once been such a genius in Du Yue Heaven Palace.

He was like a comet that rose and blazed across the sky, then vanished in an instant.

Everyone had originally thought that Xiao Hen would never again appear before the public eye, but after Ling Feng broke through the Hundred Gods Bombarding Immortal Formation, Xiao Hen actually showed himself once more.

And as if deliberately provoking, he too cleared the Sky-reaching Sword Tower.

Then Xiao Hen disappeared once again.

As though he had merely come out to play for a bit.

At this moment, in the grand council hall of Du Yue Heaven Palace, the Elders of the various families were completely in an uproar.

”Xiao Family Master, I must say your Xiao Family hides things far too deeply. That boy Xiao Hen’s strength is actually this terrifying?”

Xuanyuan Longteng looked at the Xiao Family Master with a beaming smile. After all, a junior capable of clearing the Sky-reaching Sword Tower could be called a peerless Evil rarely seen in a thousand years.

”Don’t even mention that little beast!”

The Xiao Family Master shook his head with a bitter smile. ”He long ago strayed from the path of the Swordman and threw away the Xiao Family’s ultimate arts like worn shoes. These past years his disposition has grown ever more gloomy. In a few more years I fear he won’t even acknowledge me as his own father.”

”Xiao Family Master, you can’t put it that way. The myriad methods and Dao all lead to the same destination. Although our West Sword Domain venerates the Sword Dao alone, that doesn’t mean all other paths are heretical Evil Paths.”

Xuanyuan Longteng said blandly, ”It’s a pity that this boy’s heart isn’t in Du Yue Heaven Palace. He’s always done as he pleases, making him difficult to employ.”
