The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 738: The Five Courts Sword Team Grand Competition

In the quiet room of the medicinal herb garden where Yan Cangtian cultivated, Ling Feng recounted his encounter with the Pill Devil and the Sword Maniac at the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce. After listening, Yan Cangtian furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Yan Cangtian finally clapped Ling Feng on the shoulder and burst into laughter. "Kid, your luck is truly heaven-defying!"

Ling Feng scratched the bridge of his nose and smiled wryly. "Elder Yan, you still haven't told me the origin of the Daoist Art of Heavenly Fire."

"My teacher's name was Mu Yunchuan, and the Daoist Art of Heavenly Fire was created by his father, Mu Tianhou," Yan Cangtian explained slowly. "This Mu Tianhou was a peerless genius in the Tianbai Empire back in the day. Everyone believed he might even reach the Great Emperor level. In terms of fame, he was probably on par with that so-called 'Empire's Legend' kid nowadays."

"Unfortunately, despite his extraordinary talent, he met an untimely end before he could fully mature," Yan Cangtian sighed. "This shows how perilous the path of martial arts can be. A single misstep can lead to one's demise."

"It's a pity that this senior has passed away. It seems the two seniors gave me those two abnormal fires because of him."

Ling Feng sighed softly. Unknowingly, he had incurred a great debt of gratitude to a senior who had died over a century ago.

"By that logic, you are indeed a successor of Mu Tianhou."

Yan Cangtian smiled faintly. "My teacher was Mu Tianhou's biological son, so he's your grandmaster. However, even though I'm also a successor of Mu Tianhou, I didn't have the luck to receive two abnormal fires for free. Even if I had, I'd have to give up one of them."

"Elder Yan, stop teasing me," Ling Feng rolled his eyes. When luck comes, there's no stopping it!

"Alright, try not to disturb me too often from now on. Talking to you always leaves me feeling envious!" Yan Cangtian said with a hint of "resentment."

In his eyes, treasures he could only dream of were easily obtained by Ling Feng just by wandering around. It was truly stimulating!

"Speaking of which, there's one more thing I might need to trouble you with."

Ling Feng smiled faintly. "You've already advanced to the human emperor, and your foundation is stable. I hope you can publicly display your strength. This will help deter any troublemakers."

"Oh? What trouble have you gotten into now?" Yan Cangtian shot Ling Feng a sideways glance.

"It's not me looking for trouble. Trouble's the one that won't leave me alone." Ling Feng grimaced. Yan Jinghong still resents me for what happened at Cangqiong Mountain. Who knows what underhanded methods he would devise to force me to surrender what I've claimed from the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons?

As the saying goes, the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. I better make him cautious; otherwise, it’ll be impossible to guard against his schemes.

Additionally, Yan Shuying is another potential threat. Compared to Yan Jinghong, she might be even more troublesome. After all, Yan Jinghong still has his pride and wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics, but who knows what this woman will do?

"Alright, it's been over a decade since I've been in seclusion. It's about time I made an appearance."

Yan Cangtian owed much of his current cultivation to Ling Feng, so he naturally wouldn't refuse Ling Feng's request.

"Good, then let's make it tomorrow evening."

Ling Feng thought for a moment before continuing, "My general's mansion has just been completed. I'll have a banquet set up there tomorrow night, inviting the empire's dignitaries and noble families. When you make an appearance, everyone will know I have a human emperor backing me. Anyone thinking of causing trouble will have to think twice!"

After all, he was a general, personally appointed by the Emperor. For the newly completed mansion of General Weiyuan, the empire's nobles would still have to show some face.

"Kid, you've learned quite a few tricks recently!" Yan Cangtian nodded. "Don't worry, I'll definitely help with your matters. If anyone dares to mess with you, I'll be the first to deal with them!"

"Thank you, Elder Yan." Ling Feng scratched the bridge of his nose, thinking to himself: What if your old flame, the Empress Dowager, makes a move? How would you deal with her?

Let's hope it doesn't come to that. After all, she's also a senior. Unless absolutely necessary, Ling Feng didn't want to completely antagonize her.

Peaceful coexistence was what Ling Feng hoped for.

After settling all the details, Ling Feng found a quiet room to refine the fire seeds of the "Southern Bright Flames" and the "Cangming Earth's Core Flame."

Compared to before, these two fire seeds had already been tamed, making the refinement process much easier. Moreover, after experiencing the simultaneous refinement of thunder and fire in the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons, Ling Feng's resistance to flames had increased significantly.

In just one night, he successfully refined the two abnormal fires, and his source fire seed grew even stronger.

Unfortunately, after reaching the third phase of the Art of Devouring Flame, further breakthroughs became much more difficult. Even after devouring two abnormal fires in a row, he still hadn't advanced to the fourth phase.

To reach the next level, he would likely need to devour a high-tier abnormal fire ranked within the top ten of the abnormal fire rankings.

However, such abnormal fires were truly rare and hard to come by.

...

The next day.

Ling Feng returned to Tianxuan Garden with Tuoba Yan. After freshening up, he headed to the East Court Sword Team's training ground with Jiang Xiaofan and the others who often freeloaded meals.

As for Feng Mo, Zhou Kai, and Wang Yishan, they naturally tagged along. After all, three members of the East Court Sword Team's first team had emerged from the mystical-tier students. Leng Jianfeng, their instructor, felt a sense of pride and approved all leave requests for students who wanted to cheer for the East Court Sword Team.

In fact, he even canceled all his tasks to secretly watch how far the students he had trained had come.

After all, only Leng Jianfeng could have produced three such "monstrous" students in one go!

This extremely narcissistic guy naturally took full credit for their achievements.

When Ling Feng and his group arrived at the training ground, the rest of the sword team members were already present.

In addition, their former classmates, and even yellow-tier students from the East Court who hadn't advanced to the mystical-tier, had all gathered to form Ling Feng's most loyal support group.

"East Court is the strongest! Ling Feng is invincible!..."

"Chief! Chief! Take first place!"

"..."

The cheers from the crowd were already electrifying, even before the competition had begun.

"This day has finally come!"

After nearly a month in seclusion, Gu Tengfeng had also emerged. His aura had clearly grown stronger, and his face was filled with excitement.

This was his final year at the Tianwei Academy, and it would be his last chance to participate in the Five Courts' Sword Team Grand Competition!

Whether he could fulfill his dream of challenging the Royal Sword Team depended on this final opportunity!
