Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1787 - 1788: Sky Alliance Five Clans!

"Me! Hmph! You don’t recognize gold inlaid jade for what it is; this fragment is definitely a treasure!"

Xiao Zhantian himself wasn’t very sure, but to exchange for the token, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you don’t trade, that’s your loss!"

"Enough, enough."

Ling Feng shook his head and said slowly, "How about this, the Heavenly Enlightenment Selection is about to end soon, and I don’t want to toss around anymore. After looking for so long, there’s nothing good, so let’s stick to the original plan. You give me one hundred thousand upper-grade elemental crystals, as I happen to be fond of tinkering with some gadgets. This fragment, consider it a gift with the purchase. If you agree, the token is yours. If not, then forget it!"

"I..."

Xiao Zhantian gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and stared at the token in Ling Feng’s hand, finally nodding, "Alright, one hundred thousand crystals plus this fragment! Kid, you’re quite sly!"

Ling Feng received the crystals and the fragment, showing a pained expression as if he had suffered a great loss.

But internally, Ling Feng was already ecstatic; being able to resonate with the Chaos Origin, could it be that the fragment contains Chaotic Power!

Just this alone was enough to drive Ling Feng crazy.

"Damn, Xiao Zhantian was one step ahead of me!"

"Honestly, it’s just because of those crystals. Being rich is really nice!"

"Sigh, having money really lets you do whatever you want!"

The martial artists who didn’t get the token started cursing, but the transaction was completed, and there were no extra tokens for them to exchange.

Even if unwilling, they had to accept it.

"Hehehe!"

Xiao Zhantian, who got a token, felt delightful: A problem that can be solved with money isn’t really a problem!

"Kid, my name is Xiao Zhantian. Don’t be fooled by my presence in Tianyun Holy City; in truth, I’m the seventh-great-grandson of a branch of the Xiao family, one of the five major families of the Sky Alliance Commerce."

Xiao Zhantian was in a good mood, walked up to Ling Feng, and started chatting with him.

"Sky Alliance Five Clans!"

Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched slightly, giving Xiao Zhantian a look. No wonder this guy was so wealthy, turns out he’s with the Sky Alliance.

Back in the Sky White Empire, Ling Feng already knew that the power behind the Sky Alliance Commerce was not simple, with deep ties to the Three Great Sacred Lands.

And the Sky Alliance Commerce is controlled by the five major families, among which the Xiao family is one.

Though Xiao Zhantian is just from a branch of the Xiao family, the wealth of the family is unquestionably enormous.

After all, the Sky Alliance is a super commerce group covering the entire Eastern Spirit Domain, accumulating nearly half of its wealth.

"Hehe, I’m surprised you know about the five clans?"

Xiao Zhantian looked at Ling Feng with some surprise, seeing him in a higher regard.

"I’ve heard a little." Ling Feng replied blandly.

Back in the Sky White Empire, Ling Feng maintained a fairly good relationship with Fung Taishang of the Sky Alliance Commerce, from whom he learned some inside information.

However, what even Fung Taishang from the Imperial City Branch knew was only the tip of the iceberg.

After a bit more small talk, the Transmission Array ahead glowed brightly, signifying the end of the Heavenly Enlightenment Selection.

"Brother Ling, I’m making friends with you!"

Xiao Zhantian, being quite straightforward, quickly started addressing Ling Feng as if they were old buddies.

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile; while Xiao Zhantian liked to show off, he didn’t seem to have much scheming, perhaps this is what they call "foolish but rich".

"Master Fung, thanks for earlier."

Ling Feng glanced back at Fung Yiqiu, wondering why he had helped him.

"No need to thank me, if you want to, thank Miss Yuee HuaQin. She asked me to take care of you during the selection, but it seems you didn’t really need my help."

Fung Yiqiu said calmly.

"Senior Sister Yuee?" Ling Feng was slightly taken aback.

"The Divine Wind Pavilion is an affiliate of the Yuee family; the powers in Tianyun Holy City aren’t as simple as they appear."

Fung Yiqiu said with a bit of sentiment, "As a Loose Cultivator, surviving isn’t easy."

"Sorry, for being a bit long-winded."

Fung Yiqiu shook his head slightly and added, "This was just Miss Yuee’s instruction, so no need to thank me."

After saying that, Fung Yiqiu walked away with large strides.

Watching Fung Yiqiu’s back, Ling Feng couldn’t help but murmur, "Senior Sister Yuee, she’s indeed a kind-hearted person!"

Thinking of having deceived Yuee HuaQin, Ling Feng felt a bit guilty on his conscience.

...

Surviving martial artists returned to Tianyun Holy City through the Transmission Array.

"Now, martial artists holding tokens, please step forward and present your tokens for verification."

Ao Jue, the chief examiner of this Heavenly Enlightenment Selection, was already waiting on the other side of the Transmission Array for their return.

Those who barely survived returned to their residences, preparing to recuperate.

Those who obtained tokens returned briefly to rest, then set off for Yunluo Sacred Land the next morning.

"Junior Brother Ling, I knew you’d make it."

As Ling Feng appeared, Yuee HuaQin rushed over excitedly, her beautiful eyes scanning him as if to check if he was injured.

"Hehe, thank you, Senior Sister Yuee, for your concern."

Ling Feng grinned, "It was a close call, after all."

At this moment, Ao Jue also approached, laughing heartily, "Brother Ling, I was worried whether that High-level Demon Emperor in deep sleep might wake up, but seeing you came out safely, looks like the Demon Emperor didn’t awaken."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Ling Feng touched his nose, murmuring to himself: That High-level Demon Emperor not only woke up but nearly ate me! Thankfully, my fate wasn’t sealed.

"Alright, I need to submit the list to the Elders and arrange the opening of the Tower of Apocalypse, so I won’t bother you any longer. You should also rest tonight; we’ll see each other tomorrow morning."

Ao Jue patted Ling Feng on the shoulder and left with several fellow disciples.

"Junior Brother Ling, see you tomorrow then."

Yuee HuaQin bit her lip, looking deeply at Ling Feng.

"Uh... mmm, see you tomorrow."

Ling Feng felt a bit uneasy being stared at by Yuee HuaQin, wondering if she had found out he had deceived her.

Seeing Ling Feng’s silly expression, Yuee HuaQin couldn’t help but laugh softly before turning to catch up with Ao Jue and the others.

"What does that mean? Did I get found out?"

Ling Feng, feeling guilty, left Tianyun Prefecture with a very uneasy heart and returned to his residence.
