The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 298: The Inheritance of Sword Dao!

"Um..."

Ling Feng's expression darkened. He had always held Wuji Sword King in high regard, but the sudden change in personality left him feeling a bit strange.

Wuji Sword King didn't sense Ling Feng's confusion. He walked straight towards him, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Hehe, Ling Feng, my young friend, I have a favor to ask of you. Would you be willing to accept it?"

"Not really! Um, Senior Wuji, I have some urgent matters to attend to, so it's not very convenient."

Ling Feng quickly backed away, thinking to himself: Is this old guy going to force me into something?

Noticing Ling Feng's unease, Wuji Sword King halted his steps. "Ling Feng, my young friend, I know this might seem sudden, but I have only a wisp of soul left. I can't leave, so I can only choose you."

"Uhh... that's one way to put it, but, Senior, I don't think I'm suitable."

The more Wuji Sword King explained, the more Ling Feng felt his initial suspicion was correct. This guy is indeed a bit pushy!

"Why wouldn't you be suitable?" Wuji Sword King hurriedly said, "With your talent, you can surely elevate my Wuji Sword Dao to greatness. I believe that my teachings will flourish in your hands."

Ling Feng blushed instantly. Oh man, I totally misunderstood...

"Senior Wuji." Ling Feng hesitated, looking at Wuji Sword King's sincere gaze, but ultimately chose to refuse. "I aspire to create my own sword dao!"

A swordsman could have many sword wills, but only one sword dao could be inherited.

Moreover, there was a saying on Xuanling Continent: 'The sword dao one creates might not be the strongest, but the strongest sword dao must be self-created!'

Wuji Sword King's expression dimmed, but he quickly understood. With Ling Feng's talent, creating his own sword dao would indeed be the most suitable choice.

With a slight sigh, Wuji Sword King reached out and summoned a bright silver ring, his expression solemn. "Since you have such distant aspirations, I won't insist anymore. However, within this spatial ring, there is my sword dao inheritance. I hope you can help me choose a suitable successor."

"Mhmm, I will definitely fulfill Senior's wish!"

Ling Feng accepted the silver storage spirit ring and tucked it into his chest without lamenting over missing out on a sword dao inheritance.

After all, although the path of creating his own sword dao was extremely difficult, throughout history, every unrivaled genius who led their era walked the path of self-creation.

"This is the key to the seventh-floor treasure vault." Wuji Sword King handed a golden key to Ling Feng. "You can choose nine items from this floor as well."

With that, Wuji Sword King's figure dissolved into a streak of light, disappearing before Ling Feng's eyes.

Clutching the key to the treasure vault, Ling Feng's gaze grew determined. The path of creating his own sword dao was indeed arduous!

Pushing open the door to the seventh-floor treasure vault, Ling Feng found that its contents did not disappoint him!

The vault was filled with various medicinal pills, emitting a fragrant aroma that, upon inhalation, caused Ling Feng's true qi to surge within him.

Ling Feng had already sensed that his fourteenth meridian gate was about to open, and now, the abundant spiritual energy from these medicinal pills became the final push needed for the breakthrough.

"In that case, let the fourteenth meridian gate open for me!"

With a low roar, Ling Feng activated the True Art of Xuanyuan within him, madly absorbing the spiritual energy emanating from the medicinal pills.

After three full hours!

Finally, Ling Feng's eyes snapped open.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions resounded from within Ling Feng's body. Amidst the intense pressure of the breakthrough, Ling Feng unleashed all of his potential. In one breath, he successfully broke through not only the fifteenth but also the sixteenth meridian gate!

Phew...

Ling Feng exhaled a breath, slowly rising to his feet, and began selecting the medicinal pills from the shelves nearby.

As a grandmaster alchemist, Ling Feng could easily sift through the top-grade medicinal pills in the treasure vault.

Before long, Ling Feng had chosen nine bottles of sixth-tier medicinal pills, and even found an Azure Cloud Striped Pill!

This Azure Cloud Striped Pill was an ancient miraculous pill needed to treat Yan Cangtian's eyes and neutralize the medicinal toxicity in his body. Due to the lack of a Scarlet Blood Dragon Eagle's eyeball, the pill couldn't be refined.

Yan Cangtian had originally entrusted this matter to the Alchemist Guild, but now, by some stroke of luck, Ling Feng had obtained the Azure Cloud Striped Pill directly.

"It seems Elder Yan won't need to wait any longer."

A smile tugged at the corner of Ling Feng's mouth as he carefully stored away all the medicinal pills. When he returned to Tianwei Academy, he would give this Azure Cloud Striped Pill to Yan Cangtian.

With this pill, Yan Cangtian would surely recover!

Exiting the treasure vault with firm steps, Ling Feng walked into the luminous barrier leading to the eighth floor.

The moment he set foot in the trial space of the eighth floor, Ling Feng felt a tremendous pressure permeating the entire space. His strength seemed to be suppressed, and his speed couldn't reach its limit.

"The guardian of the eighth floor should follow the same path as Du Shaoling, exuding an unbeatable aura." Ling Feng said to himself. "But the aura of this guardian has risen to the level of sword force, unlike Du Shaoling's unyielding aura."

The so-called sword force was something that could only be comprehended after achieving great perfection in sword will.

In the next moment, a figure in white appeared before Ling Feng's eyes. Her green hair flowed like a waterfall, her figure slender and graceful, and her demeanor ethereal.

The opponent on this floor turned out to be a stunning woman.

However, her face was as cold as ice, her beauty contrasting with her frosty demeanor!

The female sword king stared at Ling Feng for a long time before saying faintly, "I am known as Lingyun Sword King. You can rival Wuji in swordsmanship, which makes you an extraordinary talent. But at this stage, you will still fail!"

"Senior Lingyun, I know I am far inferior to you in strength, but I believe you won't bully the weak."

Ling Feng was aware of his own abilities. Lingyun Sword King must have been a sword king at the peak in her lifetime. Even as a remnant consciousness, if she went all out against him, he would surely fail.

However, he roughly understood that the first five levels of the Wind and Thunder Trial tested individual strength. Passing them proved dominance in the Pulse Formation Realm. The later levels tested various aspects of the participant's talent in sword dao.

It could even be said that these later levels were the true Wind and Thunder Trial!
