The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 451: Both a Book and a Weapon!

"Thank you, Ms. Deng! You are truly brilliant!"

Ling Feng felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Out of habit, everyone naturally looked at books top to bottom, but he hadn't expected that turning it upside down would reveal hidden secrets.

If not for today's accident, Ling Feng might never have discovered the intricacies within.

"Huh?" Deng Yongshi was taken aback, looking at Ling Feng with some confusion, completely unaware of what he was getting at.

Ling Feng took a deep breath and held the Book of Tiance upside down. Unlike the last time, he seemed to sense something, though it was faint and elusive and not entirely clear.

As he gently brushed his hand over the cover, his soul seemed to undergo a slight tremor.

This was an experience he had not had the last time at the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder.

The next moment, a cold sensation emanated from the Book of Tiance, filling Ling Feng's heart with an ancient feeling. It was as if he were submerged in the tides of history and overwhelmed by the changes over eons.

"W-What is this feeling?"

Ling Feng's expression changed slightly, and he appeared somewhat dazed. His spirit seemed to return to the origin of time and space, where everything was chaotic and void.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Deng Yongshi was startled by Ling Feng's appearance. In that instant, his face had turned pale, as if all his strength had been drained.

A wave of fatigue swept over him. Merely sensing the mysterious Book of Tiance had exhausted all his energy.

"What a peculiar book!" Ling Feng exclaimed inwardly, a faint smile appearing on his face. He shook his head at Deng Yongshi, indicating that he was fine.

"Teacher Ling, what kind of book is this?" Deng Yongshi looked curiously at the tattered book in Ling Feng's hand. It was old and worn, yet seemed quite heavy.

"This is what I want to find out," Ling Feng replied with a smile and tried once more to open the Book of Tiance. Despite his greatly improved cultivation realm, he still couldn't budge it.

"You're such a pretender!" Deng Yongshi rolled her eyes at him. "It's just an old book, and you're acting like you can't open it!"

"Then why don't you give it a try?" Ling Feng handed the Book of Tiance over to her. Since she had discovered the word "Tiance," maybe she could indeed open it.

"Fine, I'll try!" Deng Yongshi snatched the Book of Tiance and her hand suddenly felt the weight.

"Wow, it's so heavy!" She exclaimed in astonishment. "This... it must weigh at least 300 kilograms! It feels like it should be a weapon rather than a book!"

Deng Yongshi grumbled and gritted her teeth as she tried to open it, but like Ling Feng, no matter how much strength she used, she couldn't budge it.

"A weapon?"

Ling Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. Of course! Why haven't I thought of that?

Who says that something shaped like a book can't be used as a weapon?

The reason I couldn't open the book wasn't due to a lack of strength, but because I haven't activated the Book of Tiance's method!

Ling Feng suddenly had an epiphany. He couldn't help but excitedly grab Deng Yongshi by the shoulders and shake her vigorously. "Haha, you're so smart! I finally understand!"

Deng Yongshi, dizzy from Ling Feng's shaking, looked bewildered. "Understand what? I'm getting more and more confused!"

"I mean, you're right. This is both a book and a weapon."

Ling Feng smiled, taking back the Book of Tiance and reminding her, "Ms. Deng, you must not mention this book to anyone, understand?"

"Oh, okay." Deng Yongshi nodded quickly. "I understand."

"Alright, I should be leaving now." Ling Feng took a deep breath and continued, "Make sure to practice the Swift Wind Blade I gave you. Next time, I will definitely check your progress!"

"I got it! Stop nagging!" Deng Yongshi rolled her eyes at Ling Feng. Seeing his weakened state, she couldn't help but urge, "Hey, shouldn't you rest a bit before you go?"

"No need." Ling Feng had questions he was eager to ask Tuoba Cheng from Wangduan Mountain.

He still had many questions about the Book of Tiance.

For example, if the Book of Tiance originally belonged to Great Emperor Tiance, why did it end up in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder of the Yijian Sect?

Moreover, why did the Yijian Sect suddenly perish a thousand years ago, around the same time the Tiance clan chose to retreat into seclusion and Great Emperor Tiance himself was reported dead?

Ling Feng had a feeling that there was a massive secret hidden within these events!

...

Leaving the General's Mansion, Ling Feng headed straight to the Lin family. Although he still felt a bit weak, thanks to Zifeng's Vitality Fusion ability, his strength had almost fully recovered.

However, Ling Feng soon noticed someone quickly approaching from behind. He became alert and turned to see Li Muqing, the North Court mentor he had beaten up a few days ago.

Why is this guy not teaching at Tianwei Academy and instead following me around secretly?

Ling Feng used Boundless Vision and saw that Li Muqing was alone, which made the situation more intriguing.

Knowing he was no match for Ling Feng, why would Li Muqing come alone?

Ling Feng stopped and crossed his arms, looking at Li Muqing with amusement. "What is it, Mentor Li? Have you already forgotten the fear I instilled in you?"

He waved his fist and sneered. "Come on, let me remind you."

"Hmph, Ling Feng, I'm not here to fight you!" Li Muqing's face showed a trace of fear as he stood before Ling Feng while mustering up his courage.

When he saw Ling Feng's fist, he nearly collapsed.

Gritting his teeth, Li Muqing blustered, "I know I'm not your match, but I'm not here to fight. I want to take you somewhere."

"Sorry, I'm busy." Ling Feng glanced at him. What can this guy want? He probably just wants to set a trap.

He had no interest in attending a trap set by Li Muqing.

Moreover, he was eager to uncover the secrets of the Book of Tiance and had no time to waste with Li Muqing.

"You will make time for this." Li Muqing smirked. "What if I told you I have information about The Profound Art of Acupuncture and Moxibustion?"

"What did you say?" Ling Feng's eyes narrowed, and he flashed forward while using Shadow's Face and Boundless Sword Steps to appear instantly before Li Muqing.

The Profound Art of Acupuncture and Moxibustion was a crucial secret tied to Ling Feng's origins, so it was no wonder he reacted so strongly.

"W-What are you doing?"

Li Muqing was startled, quickly stepping back. Under Ling Feng's oppressive aura, he broke into a cold sweat.

"How do you know about this?" Ling Feng stared coldly at Li Muqing, his intimidating gaze warning him that if he lied, he would not survive.
