Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 396: Chapter 396: A Way to Infiltrate the Demon Clan Sacred Land! (3 more)

Because they weren’t in a rush to travel, the group decided not to risk crossing the God Burying Mysterious Swamp again and instead chose to take the official road back to Heavenly Position Academy.

About ten days later, the group finally arrived at the Heavenly Position Academy. Goo Tengfeng went straight to the Task Hall to hand in their mission, Yun Yiyi accompanied Lin Xian’er back to her residence, and as for Ling Feng and Jiang Xiaofan, they returned to the Tianshu East Courtyard, ready to rest up before heading to the Spiritual Medicine Garden to find Yan Cangtian.

Although they failed to obtain the evidence needed to confirm the death of Ghost-faced Demon Lord Lin Canglang and it was hard to get the Demon Slaying mission’s rewards, the journey was not for naught.

Jiang Xiaofan obtained the Xuanwu Treasure Blood, which completely transformed him, while Ling Feng got himself a Ten Thousand Evil Poison Fruit.

Yan Cangtian would probably go crazy when he saw the Ten Thousand Evil Poison Fruit.

Upon returning to the Tianshu East Courtyard, Ling Feng took a wonderful bath, greeted Jiang Xiaofan, and then headed straight for Yan Cangtian’s Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Having been away for more than ten days, he wondered if Elder Yan was still ”secluded in cultivation” in the study.

Soon, Ling Feng arrived at the Spiritual Medicine Garden and noticed that everything in the courtyard was exactly as it had been when he left, even covered in a layer of dust and cobwebs!

It seemed that in the time he was away, Yan Cangtian never once stepped out of the study!

”Now I understand how Elder Yan managed to complete the ’Medicine King’s Scripture.’ Such dedication is truly humbling!”

Ling Feng shook his head and headed toward the study in the side hall. Before he even entered, he heard an excited shout emanating from inside the courtyard.

”I’ve found it! I finally found it! Hahaha...”

Clearly, the shout came from Yan Cangtian.

Ling Feng touched his nose and, with a flash of his movement technique, he approached the door, gently pushing it open to see Yan Cangtian with disheveled hair and the entire room in chaos, with numerous books scattered throughout.

The most exaggerated aspect was the dark circles under Yan Cangtian’s eyes, as black as those of a giant panda. Considering his Half-step Emperor realm and abundant energy far exceeding that of ordinary people, it was evident that he hadn’t rested since he sat down in the study.

At that moment, Yan Cangtian was holding a thick scroll, laughing heartily, ”I’ve finally found it! Hahahaha! I’ve truly found it!”

Ling Feng gently massaged his temples and, while tidying up the scattered books in the room, asked with a wry smile, ”Elder Yan, what exactly did you find?”

”Ling Feng, kid!” Yan Cangtian finally noticed Ling Feng had returned and immediately leaped out from the pile of books, slapping Ling Feng’s shoulder and bursting into laughter, ”Didn’t you go on some Demon Slaying mission? How come you’re back so soon?”

Ling Feng’s forehead darkened, ”I’m saying, Elder Yan, it’s been over half a month! Do you think this happened yesterday?”

”Half a month already?” Yan Cangtian pushed aside the hair from his forehead and broke into a toothy grin, ”Nevermind that, Ling Feng, kid, you’ve come at just the right time!”

Lucky for Yan Cangtian, being a Half-step Emperor whose Taoist Body had reached a dust-free, grainless state, he didn’t need to bathe or change clothes for such a long time; otherwise, he might have turned into something terribly smelly.

However, despite this, Ling Feng could still see several cobwebs formed on the guy’s hair. How focused must he be to not even notice spiderwebs on his own head?

Ling Feng frowned slightly and said with a bitter smile, ”Elder Yan, you might want to take a bath before we continue.”

”No need!” Yan Cangtian, excited, grabbed Ling Feng’s arm and led him straight to the desk, bursting into laughter, ”Kid, after my recent diligent research, I’ve summarized all the cases of non-Emperor-level experts who entered the Sky Demon City and managed to return alive. I have finally found a way for you to safely blend into the Sky Demon City!”

”Oh?” Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched as he glanced at the books on the table.

, , ...

Clearly, all the books were about how to enter the Demon Realm.

Ling Feng felt deeply moved inside and looked up at Yan Cangtian, feeling a warm surge in his heart.

”What are you looking at!” Yan Cangtian punched Ling Feng in the chest and said with a pout, ”Focus and let me finish my words.”

”Mm.” Ling Feng nodded firmly, already regarding Yan Cangtian as his lifelong mentor.

”Since the establishment of the Sky White Sacred Dynasty, now into the six hundred and twenty-first year of the Sky White Empire, it has been over one thousand six hundred years. Throughout this time, the Southern Border has always been the territory of the Demon Clan, but strong individuals from the Human Clan, for various reasons, still enter the Demon Realm, and thus have uncovered some secrets within the Ten Thousand Mountains.”

”Among those, the majority who could return alive after entering the Sky Demon City are naturally Emperors, Great Emperors of such high levels, capable of flying in the sky and escaping through the earth, omnipotent. Even if discovered by experts of the Demon Clan, they still have the means to escape. That’s needless to say. Although I, too, am a Half-step Emperor, I am worlds apart from a true Emperor, despite the ’half-step’ difference.”

Ling Feng pursed his lips; even with Despicable Donkey by his side and Yan Cangtian’s protection, he probably couldn’t enter the Demon Realm and come back in one piece.

”Apart from those high-level experts who can invade the Demon Realm with their strength, over a thousand years, there have only been two people who have reached the Demon Realm alive and also managed to return alive!”

”Two people!” Ling Feng’s pupils shrank slightly as he swallowed hard, ”Who were they?”

Yan Cangtian smiled mysteriously, ”The second person, you should be quite familiar with because he is the late Medical Saint, Ling Hanyang!”

”My grandfather!” Ling Feng exclaimed in shock.

”Yes, twenty years ago, an Old Demon Emperor from the Sky Demon City contracted a terrible disease, so he dispatched Demon Clan experts to invite your grandfather to treat him in the Sky Demon City. Your grandfather agreed to the Old Demon Emperor’s condition that he would never set foot in Human Clan territory for the rest of his life while the Old Demon Emperor was alive, in exchange for the treatment he provided to the Old Demon Emperor’s branch of the Demon Clan.”

”Afterward, the Old Demon Emperor’s strange illness was cured, and he kept his promise, agreeing that his subjects would never step out of the Demon Realm during his lifetime, and even escorted the Medical Saint back to the Sky White Empire.”

As Yan Cangtian spoke, a look of admiration actually flashed in his eyes, ”Although it’s been twenty years since it happened, now, when I think about it, I truly don’t possess the courage your grandfather had. In that regard, I, Yan Cangtian, am truly inferior.”

”Grandfather!”

Ling Feng clenched his fists, a sense of pride welling up inside him because Ling Kun had once told him that though his grandfather was highly skilled in medicine, he had never stepped foot on the path of Martial Arts. An ordinary man who dared to venture alone into the Demon Realm—that courage truly deserved admiration!

”Your grandfather truly earned the title ’Medical Saint’!”

Yan Cangtian turned around and patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, looking deeply at him as if he were looking at the once Medical Saint.

He had spent his entire life wanting to surpass Ling Hanyang in the field of Alchemy, but regrettably, until the end when Ling Hanyang passed away, he never got the chance to meet the Medical Saint, which remained a great regret in Yan Cangtian’s heart.
