The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 597: The Secret of Immortality!

"What is it? Speak quickly!"

Elder Hei Yu took a deep breath. Even though he had a cooperative relationship with Li Qingling, he harbored deep-rooted distrust and aversion towards outsiders.

Li Qingling was, after all, an outsider. Elder Hei Yu had never truly trusted him.

"Hehe!" Li Qingling crossed his arms over his chest as he smiled faintly. "Elder Hei Yu, it seems fate is against you. That prophesied one... He’s not to be underestimated."

Elder Hei Yu’s face darkened as he coldly demanded, "Continue!"

"Still as humorless as ever, Elder." Li Qingling smirked and said lightly, "That boy named Ling Feng... He's proficient in medicine, and is even better than me. From now on, I doubt I'll have the chance to treat the Grand Elder. The plan to use the Spirit Void Creation Pill to deplete his vitality until he dies won't work anymore."

"What?"

Elder Hei Yu’s pupils contracted, and he roared, "Say that again!"

"Elder, don't be so hasty." Li Qingling replied calmly, "Although that boy’s medical skills are impressive, he’s only managed to restore a bit of vitality to the Grand Elder, allowing him to hang on a little longer. In his current state, how could he possibly contend with you, Elder Hei Yu?"

"That old dog just won’t die, will he?" Elder Hei Yu clenched his fists and said in a chilling tone, "Very well. Since you refuse to die peacefully, I’ll make sure you suffer a thousand times more!"

"Born of the same root, why the rush to destroy each other?" Li Qingling sighed dramatically.

"Li Qingling, stop pretending!" Elder Hei Yu sneered. "Keep a close eye on Ling Feng. Before the ancestral ceremony, nothing must go wrong! Once it's done, I’ll personally divine the location of that treasure for you!"

"Elder Hei Yu, rest assured!"

Li Qingling smiled as he deactivated the Elemental Light Mirror, causing the image within the luminous barrier to fade. Afterward, he clenched his fists, a crazed glint flickering in his eyes.

"Twenty years... It’s been twenty long years! Hei Yu, do you really think I'm just asking you to divine something?"

"What I seek is... immortality! Heh, heh, heh..."

At that moment, Li Qingling seemed like a demon emerging from the depths of hell, radiating a sinister and ominous aura.

No one knew that Li Qingling had once accidentally obtained an ancient book from a tomb. Within that ancient book, there were vague mentions of the secret to immortality.

Ordinary martial practitioners defied the heavens, but even if they reached the emperor realm, their lifespan extended to only a few hundred years at best. However, as an alchemist, he was deeply convinced that the ancient sages could achieve immortality through alchemy.

With immortality, even with poor talent, one could train for a thousand or ten thousand years. What would so-called geniuses amount to then?

According to the records in that fragmentary ancient scroll, the Tiance Clan, despite unraveling heavenly secrets, had been punished by the Heavenly Dao. Most members of the Tiance Clan had short lifespans, rarely living past forty years.

Great Emperor Tiance, unwilling to accept such a short lifespan, scoured the world for ancient texts and sought the elixir of immortality.

Although Great Emperor Tiance eventually died, the secret of the elixir of immortality was said to be left within the imperial tomb.

Relying on the ancient scroll’s information, Li Qingling had indeed found Wangduan Mountain. Then, with his medical expertise, he mingled among the Tiance Clan for over twenty years!

It must be said, Li Qingling's scheming and depth of thought were far from as simple as they appeared on the surface.

However, what he hadn’t anticipated was that Ling Feng’s medical skills would far exceed his imagination. He believed that he had everyone under his control, but the moment Ling Feng appeared, his plans were already unraveling.

...

Under the arrangement of the grand elder, Ling Feng and the despicable donkey were allocated a grand estate, right next to the residence of Tuoba Cheng.

To prevent Elder Hei Yu's people from secretly interfering, the grand elder also sent many skilled clan members to openly and covertly guard Ling Feng's residence. It was clear that the grand elder took special care of Ling Feng, the so-called Lord Sacred Master.

"Tiance Sacred Master, huh?"

Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. He never expected that simply possessing the Tiance Mirror would make him the sacred master of the Tiance Clan. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The martial practitioners of the Tiance Clan seemed to have a cultivation realm quite different from ordinary martial artists. Judging from their strength, people like the grand elder had abilities comparable to those of emperors.

According to the despicable donkey, the Tiance Clan possessed very peculiar attack methods, making them nearly unbeatable in one-on-one battles at the same level. However, they also had a glaring weakness.

Their bodies were frail!

So, if someone managed to get close to them, their so-called invincibility at the same level would quickly turn into inevitable defeat.

Of course, getting close to a strong Tiance Clan member was no easy feat.

The despicable donkey sat on a grand chair, crossed his hind legs, rubbed his front hooves together, and chuckled, "Hey, kid, as the sacred master of the Tiance Clan, shouldn’t you go inspect their treasure vault?"

"You despicable donkey, your greed will be the death of you one day!" Ling Feng rolled his eyes and said irritably, "It’s best if we don't wander around for these three days. Elder Hei Yu can rival the grand elder in strength, so he must not be weak. If a certain donkey can’t handle him, it’s better to behave!"

"Nonsense! Who says I can’t handle him?" The despicable donkey snorted. "This divine beast never underestimates any opponent. It’s called caution!"

Back in the day, this guy had been taught a lesson by Great Emperor Tiance, so he knew how tough the Tiance Clan could be. Ever since arriving in their territory, he had been relatively well-behaved.

"However, this divine beast never expected that someone as formidable as Great Emperor Tiance would have such a short lifespan. No wonder he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and then quickly vanished. He probably realized he had offended this divine beast. If he didn’t hide early, I might have wiped out his entire clan!" The despicable donkey said in a gruff voice.

"You sure think highly of yourself!" Ling Feng rolled his eyes again. A great emperor, afraid of this donkey?

"Hmph!" The despicable donkey glared fiercely at Ling Feng. "This divine beast has decided that you’re not getting any of the Tiance Spirit Spring!"

"Doesn’t matter!" Ling Feng shrugged. "As the Tiance Sacred Master, I can always have the grand elder keep you out of the imperial tomb. That seems fair, right?"

"You..."

The despicable donkey's eyes twitched, and he immediately jumped up from the chair. With a grin plastered on his face, he sidled up to Ling Feng and chuckled, "Come on, Little Feng, that’s not cool. We’re brothers, aren’t we? As the saying goes, we share blessings and face hardships together! Keeping everything for yourself will make you fat!"

Ling Feng shot him a glance and ignored the despicable donkey. But deep down, he had a feeling that in the next three days, a storm was brewing.
