Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1615 - 1616: Challenge Letter! (Second Update)

A day later, Ling Feng, along with the Four Great Hall Masters, returned to the East Spirit Immortal Pond via the Transmission Array in Huayuan City.

As for the follow-up and conclusion of the East Immortal River incident, the sect’s upper echelon had already dispatched multiple Elders to intensify the defenses.

Of course, since the Divine Desolate Atlas has already emerged, it’s unlikely that people from the Blood Shadow Alliance would come to cause trouble again in the short term. However, the mining of the East Immortal River’s veins is crucial for the cultivation materials of the entire sect. The interference from the Blood Shadow Alliance wasted nearly a month, making the upcoming reconstruction and excavation tasks quite formidable.

However, none of this had much to do with Ling Feng.

Finally returning to a sect he hadn’t seen for a long time, Ling Feng inexplicably felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

From initially heading to the Hall of Conquest, later running back and forth due to matters of the Sky White Empire, he had been away from the East Spirit Immortal Pond for almost three to four months.

After returning to the sect, Ling Feng first went back to his residence in the Earth Realm, the Heavenly Rank No.1 Mingjian Tower.

Although Ling Feng had been away from the sect for a long time, due to his authority in the sect, no one dared to provoke him.

Given Ling Feng’s current strength, let alone the Outer Disciples, even in the Inner Sect, few could defeat him.

Only those ranked in the top three among the Inner Sect Young Emperors might be comparable.

Of course, Ling Feng had made significant contributions multiple times; after returning to the sect this time, he definitely would no longer remain a mere Outer Disciple—his promotion to the Inner Sect was assured.

To Ling Feng, the Inner or Outer Sect didn’t matter much, but to participate in the Sunset Celestial Selection, one must be an Inner Sect Disciple.

Having traveled for months and with the Sunset Celestial Selection approaching, Ling Feng intended to engage in focused meditation to prepare for the battle of the Sunset Celestial Selection.

After all, the thought of battling the top talents of the Eastern Spirit Domain made Ling Feng’s blood boil, not to mention the opportunity to enter Sunset Ancient City and seek fortune.

(PS: Earlier, it was mentioned that participation in the Sunset Celestial Selection required cultivation below the Emperor Realm, but as plans often can’t keep up with changes, some readers kept urging that Ling Feng’s cultivation progressed too slowly. I had to adjust the initial setting; as a result, when writing to this point, Ling Feng was already invincible below the Emperor Realm. If he only fought martial artists below the Emperor Realm, it would just be one-sided slaughter, so the participation condition for the Sunset Celestial Selection has been changed to Inner Sect Disciples under the age of fifty.)

Upon entering the Heavenly Rank No.1 Mingjian Tower, a delicate figure was silently sitting in meditation.

Her cultivation, surprisingly, had already reached the sixth level of the Human Emperor, none other than Fang Wen, who had followed him from the first day when she joined the East Spirit Immortal Pond and became his "maid."

Thanks to some cultivation materials and elixirs provided by Ling Feng, her cultivation had significantly advanced during the months Ling Feng was away.

After all, Ling Feng’s reputation in the Outer Sect was formidable, unmatched as the Heavenly Sword First.

Moreover, since Fang Wen had been with Ling Feng from early on and lived in Ling Feng’s Mingjian Tower, she naturally was considered Ling Feng’s woman, thus, even in his absence, no one dared to bother her.

Furthermore, under the care of Master Ye from the Elixir Ding Hall, she didn’t even need to engage in daily chores and had ample time for cultivation.

As such, in just a few months, her cultivation rapidly advanced, enough to secure a spot within the top hundred of the Outer Sect on her own and obtain her own Mingjian Tower.

Yet, she still remained by Ling Feng’s side as his maid.

"Who is it!" Fang Wen suddenly opened her eyes, her heart slightly alarmed!

Someone had approached without her noticing, an indication of their unfathomable strength.

Upon taking a closer look, Fang Wen was overjoyed and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother Ling, you’ve returned!"

Ling Feng glanced at Fang Wen and nodded slightly, "Your strength is increasing quickly."

Fang Wen humbly replied, "No matter how strong I get, I can’t compare to Senior Brother Ling. How strong exactly have you become? Why can’t I perceive it at all?"

"I haven’t yet reached the Great Emperor level."

Ling Feng chuckled lightly; due to the eleven Qi Refining Mixed Element Locks, it seemed like his cultivation had dropped below the Human Emperor Realm, which explained Fang Wen’s difficulty in gauging it.

"By the way." Ling Feng raised his hand to touch his nose and said blandly, "In the last few months, has anyone come to challenge me?"

Fang Wen shook her head, "Senior Brother Ling, with your great reputation, we’ve recently heard that you have become one of the Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes of the Hall of Conquest. Who would dare challenge you?"

"I see." Ling Feng pursed his lips, recalling the image of the former Heavenly Sword First, Wenren Longzhan.

This person gave him a feeling of unfathomability. With his strength, he could have long since ascended to the Inner Sect but remained dormant in the Outer Sect, leaving his motives unknown.

Shaking his head, Ling Feng dismissed the thought and plainly asked, "Has anyone visited looking for me then?"

Fang Wen nodded, "Brother Yan Guying came by a few times, but not finding you, he left the sect to train again."

"Brother Yan, hm."

A smile played at Ling Feng’s lips. He didn’t have many friends in the Outer Sect, but Yan Guying was one. Once he returned, Ling Feng planned to give him some pointers to facilitate his early promotion to the Inner Sect.

"Any other instructions, Senior Brother Ling? If not, I’ll go prepare some food. You didn’t notify us beforehand of your return, so I haven’t had the chance to welcome you properly."

Fang Wen looked at Ling Feng, gently biting her lips as she spoke.

"No need, I’m not hungry for the moment."

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile, then added, "By the way, Fang Wen, please help me prepare a challenge letter to send to the Unrivaled Young Emperor, telling him I will challenge him in three days!"

Given the Unrivaled Young Emperor’s vengeful nature, upon returning to the sect, he would inevitably challenge Ling Feng.

Under such circumstances, Ling Feng decided it would be better to initiate the challenge himself.

He was eager to see how the Unrivaled Young Emperor, who had abolished his own cultivation and re-cultivated Saint Level techniques to break through the Emperor Realm again, had become strong.

During their brief encounter in the East Immortal River Underground Mine, Ling Feng sensed that this Unrivaled Young Emperor wasn’t as weak as he initially thought.

Since this battle was unavoidable, he decided to finish this last fight before his promotion to the Inner Sect.

"Oh."

Fang Wen nodded but the next instant, she snapped to attention, raising her eyes to stare at Ling Feng in disbelief, stuttering, "Challenge... Challenge who? The Unrivaled Young Emperor?"

"Indeed, the Unrivaled Young Emperor Qin Zusong, what about it?"

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows with a smile, seeing Fang Wen gawking like a wooden chicken, her shocked expression bringing him both amusement and exasperation.

It was merely challenging a Young Emperor, not one of the Eight Hall Masters, so what was there to be surprised about?

"I understand."

Fang Wen took a deep breath, "You wish to challenge the Unrivaled Young Emperor, Senior Brother Ling, is that correct?"

Fang Wen confirmed uncertainly once more.

"Why? Is there another Qin Zusong in the sect?" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and laughed.

"No, I’m just a bit shocked." Fang Wen took a deep breath, moving past her thoughts to realize that since Ling Feng had become one of the Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes of the Hall of Conquest, his strength surely exceeded her imagination.

"Very well." Ling Feng shook his head and chuckled, "Quickly go prepare the challenge letter and send it to the Unrivaled Young Emperor."

"Yes!"

Fang Wen nodded decisively. She understood well what this challenge letter signified.

This would be Ling Feng’s last stand before his ascent to the Inner Sect, and challenging the Unrivaled Young Emperor; if victorious, upon entering the Inner Sect, Ling Feng would be a Young Emperor!
