Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1622 - 1623: Phoenix Venerate! (Second Update)

In the center of the Heavenly Realm of the East Spirit Immortal Pond, within a palace shrouded in mist and clouds.

This place is precisely the secluded cultivation and meditation site of the East Spirit Immortal Pond Sect Leader, the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor. Usually, the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor is rarely seen, as many affairs of the East Spirit Immortal Pond are handled by the Eight Halls Masters, unless something happens that shakes the foundation of the sect, in which case the Supreme Leader personally steps forward.

For example, the Northern Barbarians’ invasion, or the ravaging events at East Immortal River over the past half year, this Sect Leader has been rather unsettled.

Before long, under the guidance of the Three Hall Masters, Ling Feng entered an incomparably magnificent grand hall.

At this moment, directly in front of the hall, stood a man in a gray robe before the Sect Leader’s Throne. His aura completely returned to the truth, at first glance, he seemed merely an ordinary, frail scholar. If not for meeting him in this Sect Leader’s hall, Ling Feng would likely never regard him as a martial arts expert.

However, precisely those who are impossible to gauge are the more formidable.

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor held some grains in his hand, thoroughly dedicated to feeding a small bird with three colorful plumes atop its head.

"Cough, cough, Greetings Sect Leader, Greetings Phoenix Venerate!"

Lei Wencheng and the others appeared unperturbed by this scene, stepping forward to bow toward the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor.

"Phoenix Venerate?"

Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched slightly, could it be that harmless-looking sparrow was indeed the "Phoenix Venerate" as Lei Wencheng mentioned?

"Greetings Sect Leader."

Ling Feng also bowed deeply towards the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor, naturally showing due respect to this master of the Holy Land.

"Finally here."

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor placed the grains in the feeder box on the bird perch and then slowly turned around, his gaze landing on Ling Feng, and said calmly, "You are that young fellow who acquired the first credit in the Hall of Conquest, aren’t you?"

"Yes." Ling Feng nodded, responding in a calm manner.

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor gave the impression of being a very gentle middle-aged man, without the slightest oppressive aura of being lofty and inaccessible, easily generating a feeling of closeness.

"Indeed, heroes emerge from youth. I also heard you had considerable involvement in retrieving the Divine Desolation Atlas this time."

"It was merely a coincidence; my initial intention was just to rescue a few fellow disciples." Ling Feng looked up at the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Hehe, you’re quite honest."

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor chuckled softly, "Truth be told, I still owe you a promise. Have you thought about what request you would like to make of me?"

Ling Feng nodded, "I have thought about it."

"Speak, whatever your request is, I will certainly fulfill it." The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor slowly sat down, an overwhelming majesty suddenly expanding.

As the Sect Leader of the East Spirit Immortal Pond, his promise is truly priceless.

"I have no other request; I simply wish to participate in the Sunset Chosen One, competing with the Heavenly Pride of various parts of the Eastern Spirit Domain!"

Ling Feng bowed deeply to the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor and announced loudly.

"Oh?"

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor was slightly surprised; indeed, this could hardly be considered a request. As long as Ling Feng advanced to the Inner Sect, with his current strength, having replaced the Unrivaled Young Emperor to become the new Eighth Young Emperor, participating in the Sunset Chosen One was no matter of suspense.

Even Lei Wencheng, Zuo Feiqing, a few Hall Masters showed subtle changes in their expressions, a promise from the Supreme Leader of such precious nature, did Ling Feng waste it this way?

"Ling Feng, is that your only request?"

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor examined Ling Feng and asked again.

"Yes, that’s my sole request."

Ling Feng nodded, and slowly said, "As an Immortal Pond Disciple, one serves the sect, how dare I have any excessive demands? Moreover, the sect’s contribution points as a reward are already sufficient."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Ling Feng’s words, the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Good, very good! If the East Spirit Immortal Pond were filled with disciples like you, how could the sect ever worry about not thriving and prospering?"

"The Sect Leader overly praises, I’m ashamed."

Ling Feng lightly smiled, bowing his head. In reality, he had considered requesting the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor to impart a divine skill or such to him. However, as he was about to decide, a familiar voice rang in his mind, precisely the voice of Elder Turtle.

"Earth Spirit Hall!"

This voice, distinctly heard only by himself, and being able to evade the great powers in the hall and transmit via divine sense, only the Three Quasi-Saints within the East Spirit Immortal Pond could achieve this.

Ling Feng understood, Elder Turtle’s meaning was probably for him to join the Earth Spirit Hall.

For this great power who generously gave away the Five Emperor Seals and assisted him in breaking through cultivation, Ling Feng naturally had no doubts.

If he were to request cultivation techniques or secret manuals from the Sect Leader, he would nominally be a registered disciple of the Sect Leader, and joining any other hall afterward might be inappropriate.

Instead, it was better to say something flattering and spare the Sect Leader from being embarrassed.

After all, given the chance to join the Sect Leader’s lineage, he chose the Earth Spirit Hall, at least there had to be a reasonable explanation.

"Alright, since so, this Sect Leader agrees. You may represent the East Spirit Immortal Pond in the Sunset Chosen One." The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor nodded lightly, his expression impassive, revealing no hints of joy or anger.

Ling Feng once again bowed respectfully to the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor, "Thank you, Sect Leader."

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor calmly, slowly asked again, "Ling Feng, now that you’ve advanced to the Inner Sect, among the Eight Halls, I wonder which hall you intend to join?"

"Well..."

Ling Feng feigned a moment of hesitation and slowly replied, "Among the Eight Halls, I am most familiar with the Earth Spirit Hall, Xuanlei Hall, and Jingfeng Hall. Yet before I joined the East Spirit Immortal Pond, I had an agreement with Hui Yue Saintess’s brother Lin Mu, that once I joined the East Spirit Immortal Pond, I would enter the Earth Spirit Hall. A man’s word carries the weight of Nine Tripods, so I think, now that I’m advanced to the Inner Sect, it’s time to fulfill my promise and join the Earth Spirit Hall."

Ling Feng said, turning to Biluo Saintess, and bowed deeply to her, "I hope the Hall Master will accept me!"

Biluo Saintess was slightly stunned, completely unexpected of Ling Feng’s sudden decision.

On the Sect Leader’s Throne, the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor was temporarily at a loss for words, his prepared speech hinting Ling Feng to join his lineage suddenly stuck in his throat.

As one says "A man’s word carries the weight of Nine Tripods," he’s utterly speechless!

"Well, well!"

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor chuckled, shaking his head, "Since that’s the case, junior Biluo, please accept Ling Feng into Earth Spirit Hall."

Biluo Saintess had mixed emotions, hearing the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor’s words, she nodded, "Alright then, Ling Feng, from today onward, you are a member of the Earth Spirit Hall."

"Thank you, Hall Master, thank you, Sect Leader!"

Ling Feng bowed to the two, thus successfully joining the Earth Spirit Hall, finally formally advancing to become an Inner Sect Disciple.

...

Afterward, the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor praised Ling Feng a few more words, then ordered them to retire.

Watching Ling Feng and the others depart, that "Phoenix Venerate" standing quietly on the bird perch finally spoke, "It seems this kid has long been associated with those three old fellows. Earth Spirit Hall, haha, probably at Elder Turtle’s behest."

"So, it was Elder Turtle..."

"Well, nevermind, rare is Elder Turtle’s desire to accept a disciple." The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor chuckled, shaking his head, "On the other hand, the Blood Shadow Alliance has been active recently, Phoenix Venerate, I think it’s time to leverage your Phoenix Clan’s strength."

"The cold of the lips means the teeth perish, my Phoenix Clan has thrived under East Spirit Immortal Pond’s protection for thousands of years; it’s also time for us to contribute."

The Phoenix Venerate nodded slightly, next moment, the figure transformed into a stream of light, disappearing from the hall, and almost instantly, a giant tricolor phoenix appeared high in the sky, flapping its wings, swiftly vanishing toward the western horizon.

Within the grand hall, only the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor remained alone, standing with hands behind his back, murmuring to himself, "Senior Brother, even after a millennium has passed, do you still intend to overthrow the East Spirit Immortal Pond?"

It turns out, the mysterious Blood Shadow Alliance Leader is indeed the former senior brother of the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor!
