Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

”Young master, you’re awake?”

The voice was soft and gentle, like being bathed in a spring breeze.

Ling Feng finally got his first clear look at the person who had saved his life.

She wore a jade-green dress, black hair piled like clouds, bright eyes and white teeth; not so stunningly beautiful, yet she gave off a sense of gentle grace, spotless and pure.

Especially that quiet, mild temperament, like an orchid blooming in an empty valley—serene and refined, making one’s eyes light up.

Ling Feng slightly nodded to the young lady and said softly, ”Many thanks, miss...”

Because his body was truly too weak, Ling Feng’s voice was almost inaudible, as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.

”Hmph, so you little beggar finally woke up!”

Beside him, Xiao Cui also showed a trace of a smile. When they’d found Ling Feng, his clothes were ragged, his beard unkempt, and he looked terribly shabby, so Xiao Cui had unceremoniously called him ”little beggar” right from the start.

After all, in this world where martial might reigns supreme, even peddlers and porters will practice a few Fist Techniques; they’re at least Martial Artists of the Aura Cultivation Realm.

But Ling Feng—don’t even mention Primordial Qi—he didn’t have the slightest ripple of True Qi.

He was a completely ordinary person.

A person like that was surely some unlucky wretch so poor he couldn’t even afford his meals.

”I’m not called little beggar, my name is Ling Feng.”

Ling Feng didn’t bother taking issue with a little Maid. He merely looked at the green-robed young lady and asked softly, ”I still don’t know my benefactor’s name?”

”I’m no benefactor. It was Uncle Zhong who fished you out of the river.”

The green-robed young lady said gently, ”My name is Lio Yunyan.”

”So it is Miss Lio.”

Ling Feng slowly pushed himself up and cupped his hands in salute to Lio Yunyan.

”You’re not healed yet, don’t move around needlessly.”

Lio Yunyan’s expression remained calm as she said faintly, ”Just rest properly. In a while I’ll have Xiao Cui bring you some food.”

”Thank you!” Ling Feng took a deep breath and said slowly, ”Miss Lio, your life-saving grace is something Ling Feng will never forget as long as I live.”

”Oh, give me a break. You’re penniless, nothing to your name, just a Little Beggar, and you talk about repaying us?”

Xiao Cui said mockingly, ”If you really want to repay us, hurrying up and leaving would be the best way!”

”Xiao Cui!”

Lio Yunyan glared at this sharp-tongued Maid, and said helplessly, ”Young Master Ling, please don’t take offense. Xiao Cui just has a mouth that won’t spare anyone, she means no harm.”

”It’s fine.”

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile. Seeing Ling Feng actually put on a ”I can’t be bothered to argue with a little Maid” expression, Xiao Cui grew even more annoyed, puffed up her cheeks, and glared angrily at Ling Feng.

Clearly just a little beggar, yet trying to act high and mighty like other people?

How laughable!

...

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed, and Ling Feng had more or less gotten familiar with the people in this caravan.

The middle-aged man at their head was named Lio Zhong, the steward of the Lio Family. The Yuntian Commerce run by the Lio Family was considered quite a renowned trading company within Milo Continent.

Yet when Ling Feng asked about the ”West Sword Domain,” whether it was Miss Lio or steward Lio Zhong, both showed a look of complete confusion.

It was as if they had never heard this term before.

Judging from the surprise and bewilderment in their expressions, they didn’t seem to be lying.

That meant that he himself apparently was not in the West Sword Domain?

This discovery left Ling Feng somewhat shocked.

That day he had seemingly been knocked into a river on the Blood-colored Ancient Road.

Logically speaking, the Blood-colored Ancient Road is the territory of the Blood Clan, so how had he left the Blood-colored Ancient Road and been saved by Lio Yunyan?

Thinking about it now, he might have entered a place called ”Milo Continent” via the Blood-colored Ancient Road.

Through Ling Feng’s repeated probing, he finally understood that Milo Continent did not belong to any county of the West Sword Domain. Roughly speaking, it seemed similar to an independent little world hidden beneath the Blood-colored Ancient Road.

This discovery made Ling Feng both uneasy and somewhat grateful.

Perhaps it was precisely because of Milo Continent’s existence that he hadn’t ended up as food in the mouths of the Blood Clan.

Moreover, even if those Demon Clan members wanted revenge, they might not be able to find him, giving him time to rest and recover before he could undo the Sealing.

But on the other hand, how was he supposed to return to the outside world?

That was another extremely headache-inducing problem.

Over these few days, Ling Feng had gradually come to terms with it somewhat.

As long as he was alive, there was always a chance to turn things around. What he needed to do now was to undo the Sealing as quickly as possible.

”You brat, you really do recover fast!”

Seeing that Ling Feng could actually get down from the carriage by himself and even throw a few punches to stretch his muscles, Xiao Cui was immediately a little curious.

In fact, more than ten days ago, when they’d fished Ling Feng out of the river, they’d thought he was as good as dead.

”It’s all thanks to Miss Lio and Miss Xiao Cui’s care.”

Ling Feng smiled faintly, but Xiao Cui just spat lightly and said, ”Sweet-talking. Since you’re fine, you don’t even think of leaving quickly. What, you plan to follow us to the Lio Family and freeload off our food and drink?”

”Speaking of that, I really am all alone, with no one to rely on.”

Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile.

”Since Young Master Ling has nowhere to go, you may stay at my Lio Family for now.”

Lio Yunyan was truly kind-hearted. She assumed Ling Feng had come to a dead end, and since the Lio Family had a large estate and great resources, letting Ling Feng stay temporarily was no trouble.

At last, after several more days, Ling Feng and the group arrived at an old-looking city called Yeruo City.

Judging from the architectural style, it was indeed entirely different from the outside world; instead it somewhat resembled the palaces the Demon Clan had built back when Ling Feng had been schemed against by Yaan Jinghong and fallen into the Seven Emotion Demon Domain.

It seemed the history of this Milo Continent could probably be traced back to the era of the Ancient Times when humans and demons waged war.

The Lio Family’s large residence was quite spacious.

Arranged by Lio Yunyan, Ling Feng temporarily took up lodging at the Lio Family.

Until he figured out where he should go next, Ling Feng could only stay here for the time being.

After moving into the Lio Family, Ling Feng kept to himself, trying to communicate with his Dantian and Sea of Consciousness. Unfortunately, there was almost no progress.

His Elemental Power had completely vanished. Though he repeatedly attempted Cultivation and managed to sense a wisp of Elemental Power, it would quickly dissipate.

With his Dantian Sealed, the Elemental Power he Cultivated was like rootless duckweed, with nowhere to be stored.

This problem left Ling Feng with a growing headache.

If things went on like this, he feared he would forever, forever remain a cripple.

”With my own Strength alone, trying to undo the Sealing is harder than ascending to the heavens.”

Ling Feng took a deep breath and thought to himself, ”However, if I use the power of Elixirs to weaken the Sealing in my body, there might still be a chance!”

Though he had lost his Elemental Power, he was still an Alchemy Grandmaster!

He had Elixir Recipes for several kinds of Elixirs that could weaken the Sealing, but the medicinal ingredients were too rare, and with his current condition, personally doing Alchemy had become a luxury.

”Not only must I find the medicinal ingredients for Alchemy, I also need to find a suitable Alchemist!”

Ling Feng furrowed his brows. Undoing the Sealing was far more difficult than he had initially imagined.

But no matter what, he couldn’t just stay in his room and make no attempt at all!

With that thought, Ling Feng hesitated no longer. On the fifth day after arriving at the Lio Family, he finally stepped out of his room for the first time.
