The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 626: Wen Tingguang's Visit!

In Tianxuan Garden.

Ever since Su Hongxiu moved in, she had taken full responsibility for Ling Feng's daily needs. Compared to Tuoba Yan, Su was much more qualified as a maid.

Of course, aside from his personal training, Ling Feng would take time out of his schedule to teach her some alchemy knowledge in return for her care.

This young girl had remarkable talent in alchemy, so Ling Feng set up an alchemy room in his imperial garden. He provided her with materials and a cauldron for practice. As for himself, whenever he needed to refine pills, he would go to Yan Cangtian's medicinal herb garden.

With the start of the academic year approaching, people like Ouyang Jing and Feng Mo had begun to focus on their preparation, readying themselves for the strict training and numerous missions to come.

Now that they had advanced to the mystical-tier students, the courses were no longer limited to classroom theory. The focus shifted heavily toward practical combat training.

In the martial arts aspect, the academy encouraged students to form sword teams for group sparring matches. Each victory earned the students substantial Tianwei points, which could be exchanged for various cultivation resources from the academy's treasury.

Additionally, students could take on a variety of missions, classified from sky-tier to yellow-tier. Completing them was a primary way to earn Tianwei points.

In alchemy, students were encouraged to practice pill-making and take certification exams to advance through the tiers. With each advancement, they would earn extra Tianwei points.

It wasn't just alchemy, however. Fields such as forging, refining, arrays, inscriptions, appraisal, and medicine also had a place at Tianwei Academy. The depth of mastery depended on individual effort.

In short, after leaving behind the yellow-tier student status, students at Tianwei Academy gained more freedom. The accumulation of Tianwei points became their driving force, as these points allowed access to rare cultivation resources, weapons, magical treasures, and even treasures containing the essence of spiritual power.

However, even the lowest-level Treasure of Sun and Moon required millions of points for a single item. To obtain such resources from the treasury, one had no choice but to work hard and earn as many points as possible.

Having waited long for his companions to return, Ling Feng eventually distributed the gifts he had prepared for his fellow friends ahead of time. Each of them received a small bottle of Tiance Spirit Spring water.

Ling Feng was never stingy with his friends. With these bottoms of Tiance Spirit Spring water, they would likely all have the potential to break through to fifty meridian gates. (PS: It felt like distributing bathwater all over the place...)

Although Ouyang Jing and the others didn't know exactly what a Tiance Spirit Spring was, they could feel the pure spiritual energy contained within and understood that it was something extraordinary.

After receiving the spring water, they each went back to their homes to go into seclusion for cultivation.

Otherwise, on a day like this, these boys would mostly have gathered in the courtyard, hoping to catch a glimpse of Tuoba Yan from afar.

Of course, with Su Hongxiu now part of the group, the situation had changed slightly. Although Su Hongxiu's beauty didn't surpass Tuoba Yan's, she had the advantage of being gentle and kind, and she could cook delicious meals!

That was important!

On that particular day, Ling Feng was in the courtyard practicing the sword moves he had gained insight into from the Reincarnation Heaven-Burying Sword Art. His eyes sparkled with clarity, showing that he had gained new understanding.

This Reincarnation Heaven-Burying Sword Art was, without a doubt, the most difficult sword technique Ling Feng had ever encountered. Even the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art, which had a high training difficulty and consumed vast amounts of true qi, was less than one-tenth that of the Reincarnation Heaven-Burying Sword Art in terms of difficulty in comprehension.

This sword art had to be guided by the Reincarnated Sword Will. Without it, even if the sword moves were executed, they would have form but no substance, and would be unable to unleash any real power.

Thus, understanding this sword art was tantamount to comprehending the Reincarnated Sword Will. Even with his extraordinary Heavenly Dao Eye ability, Ling Feng could not quickly grasp the essence of this sword art. He had no choice but to slowly and steadily chip away at its mysteries, like water wearing away stone.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

At that moment, a round of applause came from outside the door. Ling Feng turned towards the sound and immediately smiled.

He wasn't particularly surprised by Wen Tingguang's visit, as the issue with the Tianyang Empire's prince, Nangong Yin, still needed to be resolved.

"Haha, Little Brother Ling, we haven't seen each other for months, and yet your strength has already reached such an unfathomable level! Before long, this old man will be left far behind by you," Wen Tingguang squinted and said with a faint smile.

"Brother Wen!"

Ling Feng quickly stepped forward and greeted him with a hearty laugh. "Brother Wen, you're flattering me. I still have a long way to go to reach your level."

Wen Tingguang's cultivation was at the peak of the Spiritual Element Realm. While Ling Feng had the ability to hold his own against martial artists in the early stages of that realm, he was still far from being on Wen Tingguang's level.

In martial arts, the further one advanced in realms, the greater the difference in strength between levels. Some geniuses could leapfrog several small realms in the early stages of their cultivation, but once they reached the Spiritual Element Realm, it became exceedingly difficult to defeat even an opponent just one level higher.

The third level of the Spiritual Element Realm compared to the tenth level was like comparing powers from two entirely different worlds.

With Wen Tingguang's cultivation at half-step king-tier and the ninth-refinement level of soul manifestation, his soul, if released, could insta-kill Ling Feng in a single blow. Of course, that's without considering Ling Feng's Chaotic Rebirth.

Wen Tingguang laughed as he entered the courtyard, playfully punching Ling Feng on the shoulder. "You brat! You always say you'll come see me, but it's just empty talk!"

"Hehe..." Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile. "I just haven't been able to find the time!"

Of course, the main reason was because of Tuoba Yan. No matter where he went, he had to bring her along, making him reluctant to leave unless absolutely necessary.

"Hehe!" Wen Tingguang raised his eyebrows and then stroked his long beard, nodding in approval. "Lan told me all about what happened in Duling City. You handled it beautifully, kid!"

"You mean that Nangong Yin, right?" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, and then smiled slightly. "I only gave him a small warning. If it weren't for his special status, I wouldn't have hesitated to kill him with one strike."

"Mm-hmm. If it weren't for the relentless pressure from the Tianyang Empire, even the sect leader wouldn't have wanted to send someone to save that scum." Wen Tingguang sighed lightly. "In the end, the Emperor left the matter entirely in the sect leader's hands, trying to end the conflict without losing the dignity of our Tianbai Empire. But solving it on the surface won't be easy."

"I understand," Ling Feng nodded. "I was prepared for the consequences. I caused the trouble, so I'll deal with the aftermath."

"You're a thorough one, aren't you?" Wen Tingguang laughed heartily. "No wonder the sect leader thinks so highly of you! Come, let's head to Cangqiong Mountain. I can tell that Lan has been missing you quite a bit."

"Uh..." Ling Feng scratched the back of his head, chuckling awkwardly. "Brother Wen, don't tease me. Let me go fetch someone first, and then I'll accompany you to Cangqiong Mountain."

"Fetch someone?"

Wen Tingguang paused, a bit confused. Why would Ling Feng need to bring someone else along?
