Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 669: Chapter 670: Devouring, Xuanhuang Flame! (2 Updates)

”The Despicable Donkey saw Ling Feng fixated on the Xuanhuang Flame Seed in front of him and couldn’t help but step forward saying, ’Kid, don’t blame this Divine Beast for not warning you, there are two paths before you now.’”

Ling Feng looked up at the Despicable Donkey, pursed his lips, and asked indifferently, ”What do you mean?”

”One path is to continue as you are, keep cultivating the ’Swallowing Flame Technique’ I’ve taught you, and directly devour this Xuanhuang Flame Seed. This way, the characteristics of the Xuanhuang Flame will blend somewhat with your Earth Vein True Fire, evolving toward the Swallowing Flame direction.”

”The other is to directly refine the Xuanhuang Flame, cover your original Earth Vein True Fire, and transform it into the more advanced Xuanhuang Flame. By doing this, your strength could greatly increase in a short period of time.”

The Despicable Donkey crossed its hooves in front of its chest, looking quite self-assured as it said, ”Both paths have their pros and cons. It depends on whether you want to focus on the long-term perspective or just worry about immediate gains and losses. Of course, aiming for the long-term doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll meet your expectations, and you should understand that this Swallowing Flame thing is a gamble from the start—you can’t guarantee that you’ll continue to obtain so many high-level Abnormal Fires for consumption in the future.”

After saying this, the Despicable Donkey swished its tail and left, clearly not intending to give Ling Feng any advice.

”Xuanhuang Flame or Swallowing Flame.” Ling Feng touched his nose, already making his calculations.

Indeed, he desperately needed strength, but he was not one for shortsightedness.

Between Xuanhuang Flame and Swallowing Flame, he knew well which was more formidable.

Without much consideration, Ling Feng began to operate the mental method of the ’Swallowing Flame Technique,’ gradually devouring the Xuanhuang Flame Seed, and incrementally merging it with his original Earth Vein True Fire.

Thus, the Earth Vein True Fire underwent a certain evolution, though much of the original characteristic of the Xuanhuang Flame was neutralized, transforming more towards the devouring direction instead.

Nevertheless, Ling Feng’s Fire Attribute True Qi was significantly enhanced.

”This kid is decisive!”

From a distance, when the Despicable Donkey saw how promptly Ling Feng chose to continue cultivating the ’Swallowing Flame Technique,’ it couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile.

Perhaps, in its lifetime, it might just witness Ling Feng successfully refine the legendary strongest Divine Fire, Swallowing Flame.

”Alright, little guy, you also shouldn’t fall behind in your cultivation.”

The Despicable Donkey’s eyes rolled as it looked towards Little Qiongqi at its side.

With a thought, the Despicable Donkey split its own half of the Xuanhuang Flame again and infused it into Little Qiongqi’s body, assisting it in refining and breaking through.

Half an hour later, Little Qiongqi miraculously advanced directly from Second level to Third level, equivalent to a human Martial Artist in the Qi Condensation Realm.

This little one was born less than three months ago and had already advanced to the level of a Third-level Demon Beast, and it might not be long before it could transform into a human form.

Such a speed of cultivation, even within the Qiongqi lineage of the Demon Clan, might be unprecedented.

”Not bad.”

The Despicable Donkey looked at Little Qiongqi briefly. The Qiongqi Fire of the Qiongqi lineage was also powerful, but nowhere near the Xuanhuang Flame ranked among the top thirty in the Abnormal Fire List.

”Since you’ve already advanced to the Third level, from now on, you also shouldn’t waste the physical advantage of the Demon Clan.”

The Despicable Donkey stroked its chin, pondered for a moment, seemingly making a decision, and said to Little Qiongqi, ”Little one, from today onward, this Divine Beast will teach you the invincible Divine Donkey 72 Forms! Hmm, let’s start with standing upright today.”

Little Qiongqi dumbly looked at the Despicable Donkey, its hind legs exerting force, trying to mimic the Donkey’s posture and began attempting to walk on the ground.

However, in the beginning, it was just like a crab, scuttling about haphazardly, making the Despicable Donkey shake its head repeatedly.

Training Little Qiong to learn his Body Technique is indeed a long and arduous journey!

From then on, in addition to sleeping and acting cute, Little Qiong had taken up a new task: practicing the Body Technique.

Seeing Little Qiong and Despicable Donkey becoming more alike in style, Ling Feng worried secretly that if Little Qiong ended up as despicable as Despicable Donkey, he would have truly wronged the Qiongqi Demon Emperor.

...

So-called instant fame, perhaps that was what Ling Feng had achieved.

Soon, the plot of land in the western city bestowed by Emperor Sky White began construction, employing thousands of craftsmen, along with Engraving Masters, Array Masters, gardeners, and other talents. Incredibly, they completed the ”General Wei Yuan” mansion in just five days.

Since then, among the youthful generation in Sky White Imperial City, the name Ling Feng was known to everyone.

After the construction of the General Mansion, Ling Feng received more rewards from Emperor Sky White, including some servants and protectors.

After all, such a large General Mansion naturally needed some servants.

”Ha ha ha ha...”

At this moment, a slightly overweight middle-aged man, with a beaming face, walked out of Ling Feng’s Sky Pavilion.

This middle-aged man was Du Qifeng, the leading craftsman in the Imperial City and the chief contractor for the General Mansion.

Du Qifeng’s current visit was naturally to hand over the construction plans and various array mechanism designs of the General Mansion along with some keys and locks. As the owner of the mansion, Ling Feng naturally needed to receive them.

”General Ling, truly a young prodigy!”

Du Qifeng patted his round belly and laughed, ”Now, the General Mansion can be occupied at any time, and although His Majesty has sent quite a few servants, the mansion ultimately lacks a steward. General Ling, perhaps you should visit the slave market and buy some servants.”

”A steward?” Ling Feng turned to look at Su Hongxiu and chuckled, ”I already have a candidate in mind. As for other servants... no need.”

Ling Feng pondered for a moment. The house servants sent by the old Emperor might not be trustworthy, possibly even spies sent by the Emperor himself.

However, he would not reside in the General Mansion long-term anytime soon, so there was no need to be overly cautious.

”Anyway, I must thank Master Du for his kind intentions,” Ling Feng said with a light smile. He had just reviewed the construction plans. Although he did not fully understand them, he could see that Du Qifeng was indeed a top-tier craftsman.

”Hehe, General Ling, if there’s anything I can help with in the future, just find me, Fatty Du, at Mechanical Hall. Our people, whether it involves hidden spring weapons or Divine Weapons, all have respective skilled experts.”

Du Qifeng chuckled, ”You may not believe this, but I am also an Honorary Elder in the Blacksmith Guild, with casting skills at the sixth level peak.”

”Oh?”

Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched slightly. Appearances could indeed be deceiving—a Sixth level Blacksmith held a status no less than that of a Sixth level Alchemist!

While a Low-level Blacksmith’s status was not comparable to that of an Alchemist of the same rank, once one became a Fifth-rank or higher High-level Blacksmith, their status might even surpass that of an Alchemist.

After all, for a Martial Artist, having a suitable weapon could significantly increase their odds of victory.

Moreover, Blacksmiths have their unique understanding of Fire Control, certainly no less than that of an Alchemist.

This Mechanical Hall, if there was time, he might indeed visit; there might be some unexpected gains.
