The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1364 Yin-Yang Soul Jade

"Shadow Seven, how are things on Meng Guizang's side?"

Master Qingxuan stood with his hands behind his back and spoke in a low voice to the drifting shadow. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Reporting to Elder, Meng Guizang is dead. According to the data recorded by the Radiant Light Mirror I planted on him, he was also killed by Ling Feng. It was done in a single move, and the method closely matches the one used to kill Mu Renjie of the Mu family."

"Mhmm. You may leave."

Master Qingxuan waved his hand once more. Shadow Seven vanished at once, leaving no trace behind, as though he had never existed.

"Hehe, Ling Feng!"

Master Qingxuan narrowed his eyes. "I truly misjudged you before. Unfortunately, since I can't use you, you should go to hell obediently! Heh heh heh..."

His shrill, ghostlike laughter echoed through the great hall, lingering for a long time before slowly fading.

...

News of Ling Feng's battle with Wang Ruquan spread like wildfire and quickly swept through the inner sect. From inner sect disciples to elders, and even the eight Hall Masters, everyone was talking about it.

A disciple of such talent had somehow been left in the outer sect, which baffled many people.

What shocked them even more was that despite Ling Feng revealing such terrifying strength, neither the Three Divine Halls nor the Five Spirit Halls stepped forward to accept him as an inner sect disciple.

Instead, the sect's higher-ups granted Ling Feng an appropriate reward.

The Star Throne of seventy-second Creation Star Ranking!

In other words, Ling Feng was still an outer sect disciple, yet he was now free to enter the Heavenly Realm and cultivate within his own Star Throne.

Not only that, the first sky-tier Mingjian Tower still belonged to him.

Ling Feng could be called the most outrageous outer sect disciple in the entire history of Dongling Immortal Pool. Though an outer sect member, he enjoyed treatment that even most inner sect disciples could never hope to reach.

That very night, crowds gathered outside Ling Feng's Mingjian Tower to celebrate and offer congratulations. The noise continued without end. Some female disciples even cast flirtatious glances his way, hoping to gain his favor just as Fang Wen had.

That was hardly surprising. On the very first day Ling Feng arrived at Dongling Immortal Pool, a delicate beauty like Fang Wen had already moved into his Mingjian Tower. Anyone would assume he was fond of women.

Only Fang Wen herself knew the truth. All this time, she had merely served as a maid at Ling Feng's side. He had always treated her with courtesy and restraint, never once crossing the line.

It was not until deep into the night, when Ling Feng finally announced that he was entering seclusion and directly drove all visitors away, that peace was restored.

"Junior Brother Ling, since that is the case, I shall take my leave as well."

Yan Guying smiled and clasped his fists toward Ling Feng. Now that Ling Feng had gained the first sky-tier Mingjian Tower and secured the seventy-second Star Throne, he was truly one of a kind among the outer sect.

Thinking back to how he had once planned to help Ling Feng avoid Meng Guizang's schemes, Yan Guying could not help but feel that his past self had been rather naive.

"Senior Brother Yan, please wait."

After a moment's thought, Ling Feng took out an Earth Emperor Token and handed it to Yan Guying. "Senior Brother Yan, this Earth Emperor Token is for you."

"Uh..." Yan Guying stared at the token in shock. "Junior Brother Ling, no, no, this is far too valuable!"

"I am not giving it to you for nothing."

Ling Feng smiled slightly. "I have just arrived and know very little about the Earth Emperor Pool. I originally planned to use two Earth Emperor Tokens to cultivate there for twenty days, but after thinking it over, ten days will be enough. Consider the other token payment for you explaining the situation inside the Earth Emperor Pool to me."

Of course, that was only part of the reason. Ling Feng could see that Yan Guying's cultivation had reached a bottleneck and was very close to stepping into the realm of the Extreme Human Emperor. He lacked only that final moment of insight.

If this token could help him break through in one go, then it would not be wasted.

Ling Feng had always been this way. If others treated him with sincerity, he would repay them tenfold.

Yan Guying was the first companion Ling Feng truly acknowledged in the outer sect of Dongling Immortal Pool. If he could help him, Ling Feng would not be stingy.

"Uh..." Yan Guying looked at Ling Feng for a long moment, then bowed deeply. "Junior Brother Ling, I will not refuse your kindness. Still, information about the Earth Emperor Pool can be obtained easily. There is no need to pay such a steep price."

He shook his head with a smile. "Junior Brother Ling, I understand your intentions. I may not be some grand hero, but I do have my own dignity. One Earth Emperor Token costs fifty thousand contribution points. Over the past few years, I have entered the Earth Emperor Pool once and spent fifty thousand. I later saved up nearly forty thousand more. I will transfer those forty thousand to you first and owe you ten thousand. Treat this token as something I am buying from you."

"There is really no need..." Ling Feng looked at him, then smiled helplessly and nodded. "Fine. Let us say you are buying it from me!"

Ling Feng could not help but regard Yan Guying more highly. With his character, he was bound to achieve something great in the future!

"There is one more thing..."

Yan Guying hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and said, "Junior Brother Ling, there is something I must remind you of, even if it does not sound pleasant. The Yin-Yang Soul Jade is far too precious. Although you are now on the Creation Star Ranking, you are still an outer sect disciple, and you have no real backing."

"For you, the Yin-Yang Soul Jade may be a great opportunity, but it is also a hot potato. I suspect it will not be long before many inner sect elders or direct disciples try to buy it from you. You must decide carefully. When living under another's roof, one cannot help but bow their head. If you offend powerful elders, your days ahead will be difficult."

After a pause, Yan Guying continued, "My suggestion is to hold a public auction and exchange it for resources you truly need. That way, those who fail to win it will have no reason to vent their anger on you."

Ling Feng smiled calmly. "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Yan, but I already have other plans for it."

A treasure that even the Despicable Donkey coveted so intensely was not something Ling Feng would simply hand over.

Still, Yan Guying's worries were not without reason. He had struggled in the outer sect for many years, climbing step by step from the bottom. Caution was second nature to him.

"Very well. Since Junior Brother Ling has already considered it carefully, I will not say more."

Yan Guying sighed softly. At least Ling Feng had good relations within the inner sect, especially with Lin Mu and Ning Guichen. Lin Mu was notorious both inside and outside the sect, though mostly for bad reasons, but he still had a sister who was a Hall Master of the Earth Spirit Hall.

With Ling Feng on good terms with Lin Mu, the inner sect elders would likely hesitate because of Saint Lady Bi Luo and would not act rashly.

Ling Feng nodded with a smile. "Then, Senior Brother Yan, tomorrow at noon, we shall set off together for the Earth Emperor Pool to cultivate!"

"Good. I will come find you tomorrow at noon."

Yan Guying nodded firmly, gripping the Earth Emperor Token in his hand. It felt incredibly heavy, and this kindness was something he would never forget.
