Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Under Ouyang Jing’s warm invitation, Ling Feng really couldn’t refuse, so he had no choice but to stay in Hanwu County for one night, while Ouyang Jing carefully prepared a welcome banquet to wash away the dust.

He also knew Ling Feng didn’t like lively occasions, so aside from their own clan members, he didn’t invite anyone else.

After the banquet ended, Ouyang Jing pulled Ling Feng into the back garden, drinking under the moon and chatting late into the night.

Their conversation was nothing more than what they’d experienced during this period of time.

Ling Feng’s experiences could be said to be fraught with danger at every step; by comparison, Ouyang Jing’s journey had been relatively smooth.

He was just helping the family manage their business; with the support of the Sky White Empire’s Imperial Family and the towering backing of the Lingshen Sect, his path could only be described as smooth sailing.

”Big Brother, I really envy you!”

Ouyang Jing raised his cup and drained it in one gulp. Back then, he too had been full of hot blood, wanting to live a life like Ling Feng’s.

”Why envy me? Aren’t you doing pretty well yourself now? Everyone carries different burdens, and everyone has their own road to walk.”

Ling Feng patted Ouyang Jing’s shoulder. ”And how do you know I don’t envy you?”

If he weren’t carrying the fate of the Heavenly Dao Clan, perhaps a more ordinary life wouldn’t be so bad.

”Yeah, I should be satisfied!” Ouyang Jing shook his head with a smile. ”But don’t be fooled by how gentle and lovable Yun’er seems on the surface—sometimes she’s just like a tigress! A woman, once she’s married, haha, really is... But sometimes I still feel pretty happy. Yun’er truly is a good woman! Being able to be with her, that’s the greatest luck of Ouyang Jing’s life!”

”That’s enough out of you!” Ling Feng shot Ouyang Jing a look. This guy was openly flaunting his happiness!

”Speaking of which, Big Brother, you’ve never lacked all kinds of beauties around you. Don’t tell me you’re still all alone?” Ouyang Jing fixed his eyes on Ling Feng, grinning slyly.

”I just said, everyone has their own burdens, and as for me right now, I don’t have the qualification to even think about those things.”

Ling Feng shook his head with a faint smile. He wasn’t a block of wood; though he was a bit dull when it came to emotions, he wasn’t a fool.

Most of the time, he simply chose not to face it.

”All right then.” Ouyang Jing nodded, then said, ”Right, Big Brother, are you planning to go back to the Lingshen Sect for a bit?”

”Of course. No matter what, I’m still the Sect Leader in name! Why? Did something happen in the Lingshen Sect?”

”Not exactly, it’s just Miss Lin, she...”

Ouyang Jing seemed a bit hesitant. ”Ai, I really don’t know how to say it.”

”Miss Lin?” Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched slightly. ”Xian’er?”

”Mm. After she attended my and Yun’er’s wedding some time ago, she left. No one knows where she went. Although Senior Duanmu sent people to look for her, it seems they haven’t found anything.” Ouyang Jing sighed softly.

Ling Feng frowned slightly. Lin Xian’er really was worry‑inducing. Half a year ago she’d only just saved her life by relying on the Blood Jade Spring Flower; by rights, she should have been resting in the Lingshen Sect now.

Yet now she’d left without saying goodbye. No wonder Master Duanmu was so anxious.

It was just that he was currently carrying the weight of the entire Lingshen Sect on his shoulders and couldn’t simply abandon everything and leave.

”Big Brother...” Ouyang Jing glanced at Ling Feng and, seeing his serious expression, didn’t know what else to say for a moment.

”It’s fine. I think she just went out to clear her mind.”

Ling Feng shook his head. He understood Lin Xian’er’s feelings for him. It was a pity that he only regarded her as a friend, nothing more.

...

He remained awake the whole night.

The next morning, Ling Feng took Tuoba Yan and Yeu Junyao with him and headed for the Lingshen Sect.

The Sect Leader’s return should have been a very grand event. However, Ling Feng was a hands‑off Sect Leader who was rarely in the sect, to the point that the newly recruited Disciples didn’t even recognize their own Sect Leader.

In the end, it took quite a bit of commotion before some of the veteran Disciples recognized Ling Feng and welcomed their Sect Leader back.

Next, Ling Feng summoned the sect Elders. Elder Yao and Lo Jianying had stayed behind in the Imperial City to handle matters there, while those remaining in the sect were mostly the older generation.

But even so, in just over a year, the growth of the entire Lingshen Sect far exceeded Ling Feng’s expectations.

After all, the resources he’d left behind back then were enough that even a super sect like the Cangqiong Sect could use them for three to five years.

With an abundant supply of Cultivation Materials, plus the support of the Royal Family, it was hard for the Lingshen Sect not to grow stronger.

”We greet the Sect Leader!”

In the great hall, more than twenty Elders bowed to Ling Feng in unison.

Among these Elders, there were even three whose strength had reached the Divine Origin Realm! One more step and they would be King-level!

Although King-level Experts couldn’t even enter Ling Feng’s Dharma Eye now, back in the days of the Wenxian Sect, they had barely even a handful of Origin Transformation Realm experts.

As for Duanmu Qingshan, with the Wine God Swordsmanship that Ling Feng had gifted him, plus his long‑accumulated foundation, his strength had reached the Mid Stage of the Divine Sea Realm, a true King-level Expert in name and fact.

Looking at this ever‑growing sect, Ling Feng couldn’t help but feel a surge of inexplicable excitement.

Perhaps in the near future, he might be able to develop the Lingshen Sect into a Holy Land that could compete with the East Spirit Immortal Pond.

And that day would definitely come!

After arranging some sect matters, Ling Feng handed over another batch of materials and Cultivation Techniques to Jiang Wanqing and Su Hongxiu, then let the Elders withdraw first.

Only Duanmu Qingshan remained in the great hall.

”Master, how have you been?”

Ling Feng stepped down from the Sect Leader’s Throne and slowly walked up to Duanmu Qingshan. It was clear he was a bit restless.

After all, he had been separated from his biological daughter for many years and had nearly suffered permanent separation by death. He truly couldn’t bear the thought of losing his daughter again.

”Ai...”

Duanmu Qingshan let out a light sigh. The current Ling Feng was someone he could only look up to, but what comforted him was that this Disciple really was as he’d once said.

Once a Master, a father for life.

Ling Feng had not stopped caring about him just because their strengths were now worlds apart.

”It’s actually nothing, it’s just that Xian’er, that child...” Duanmu Qingshan sighed deeply and slowly said, ”Her temperament is still a bit too stubborn.”

Lin Xian’er’s birth name was actually Duanmu Rou. It was just that Lin Xian’er didn’t seem too fond of her original name, so in the end she only changed her surname back, yet still called herself Xian’er—Duanmu Xian’er.

”Master, there’s no need to be too anxious. Ouyang Jing already told me about Xian’er. She might have just gone out for a walk.”

Ling Feng offered a few words of comfort, then continued slowly, ”I can’t stay long this time. Before long, I’ll be heading to the West Sword Domain for training.”

”Oh? You’re already planning to train in other Domains? Your cultivation now?”

Duanmu Qingshan looked at Ling Feng in some surprise. He could sense that Ling Feng was very strong now, but just how strong, he didn’t know.

”Emperor Realm.”

Ling Feng rubbed his nose. Not only him, Tuoba Yan was also in the Emperor Realm, and Yeu Junyao was even at the Sixth Realm of the Heavenly Destiny Realm!

”You’ve already reached Emperor Level?”

Duanmu Qingshan couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. Three or four years ago, when Ling Feng had first become his Disciple, it still felt like it had happened just yesterday.

Yet now Ling Feng had already stepped into the Emperor Realm. For him, the Emperor Realm was a legend, something he’d never even dared to imagine, and now his own Disciple had become a figure of legend!
