Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Ling Fei's goal was clear: to become stronger.

The True Dragon Ancient Hall was clearly an opportunity for him.

With that thought, Ling Fei continued deeper into the cave.

'According to the Marsh King, there's a spatial rift here that connects to the Qi vortex containing the True Dragon Ancient Hall. That must be why such pure Dragon Qi is leaking from this place,' Ling Fei muttered. 'As long as I enter that rift, I'll have a chance to reach the region where the True Dragon Ancient Hall is located.'

However, the place was incredibly dangerous; even Divine Mansion Realm powerhouses had perished inside.

Ordinary people would never dare to venture deep inside.

Just as Ling Fei was about to search for the shortcut to the True Dragon Ancient Hall, his Waist Token began to vibrate incessantly.

His Heart Spirit stirred, and he focused his consciousness on it.

All sorts of messages flooded in from the Waist Token.

First was a message from Grand Elder Fang.

Then came inquiries from some of the sect's Elders.

They were all worried about his safety.

"I'm fine," Ling Fei first replied to Grand Elder Fang, then sent a message to the various Peak Masters.

"He's fine!" Outside, Grand Elder Fang's eyes lit up.

Sect Leader Yuan also received Ling Fei's message.

When they had first decided on this plan, he had also exchanged soul imprints with Ling Fei to stay in contact.

"As long as he's okay!" Although they all knew Ling Fei hadn't died, they were still worried, not knowing his exact situation.

Now that Ling Fei had replied, they could all breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ling Fei, how are you doing?" Grand Elder Fang sent a message briefly explaining the situation. "People from all the sects have gathered outside... Your situation is dire!" He was still very worried. If Ling Fei didn't have enough hidden strength, he feared the boy wouldn't be able to resolve this crisis.

'So, many Celestial Pill Realm powerhouses have gathered here to kill me?' Upon receiving this news, Ling Fei's eyebrow arched.

Immediately, a devilish smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

'In that case, I'll just have to kill them again!' The devilish smile widened as Ling Fei halted his advance and turned back.

Originally, he had planned to use the passage in this cave to go directly to the True Dragon Ancient Hall.

However, upon hearing about the Four Major Sects' murderous intent, Ling Fei's heart suddenly turned cold.

'If they want to kill me, why should I show them any mercy?'

In this Martial Arts World, one could only gain a foothold by being strong. One could only intimidate the masses by displaying peerless prowess.

So, Ling Fei turned back the way he came.

"What? You want to kill them again?" When Ling Fei informed Grand Elder Fang of his decision, the elder was instantly stunned.

The young man's audacity was beyond his imagination.

"Good. A man who hopes to revitalize our Lingyun Sect should have this kind of fire in him." By his side, however, Sect Leader Yuan nodded slightly.

For a sect to rise, it must sweep away all obstacles.

But how could clearing away obstacles be so easy?

The pressure one would have to endure was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

Take Yuan Huaitian, for example. He appeared calm, but in reality, every step he took was like walking on thin ice.

If the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple refused to cooperate, his own cultivation was not yet enough to contend with Beiming Huahai.

If he were to be defeated or killed, the Lingyun Sect would be finished.

After all, he was the Lingyun Sect's only Divine Mansion Realm powerhouse!

It could be said that Yuan Huaitian needed immense courage to agree to Ling Fei's plan.

Now that Ling Fei was showing the same courage, Yuan Huaitian felt that the sect's future was in good hands.

If this young man matured, then even if he, Yuan Huaitian, were to fall, the Lingyun Sect would no longer have to fear being bullied.

"Are you confident?" Yuan Huaitian still sent a message to Ling Fei to be sure.

He couldn't afford for anything to happen to Ling Fei.

"As long as no Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses interfere, it should be fine," Ling Fei said.

"Good!" Yuan Huaitian's eyes flashed. "Rest assured, I will keep an eye on Beiming Huahai."

As for any other Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses, it would be easy to intercept them if they tried to make a move.

The only real concern was Beiming Huahai.

'I should try to win over the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers as well,' Yuan Huaitian thought to himself.

At his Realm, a mere stir of his Heart Spirit was enough to detect that the Valley Master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers was also present.

In fact, Yuan Huaitian had already tried to win her over.

However, the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers had always disliked conflict, so while they hadn't agreed to intervene, they had come to observe.

'If Ling Fei becomes a Pill King, he will refine a Divine Mansion Level Treasure Pill for my Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers!' Aboard her flying chariot, the Valley Master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, who had kept her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Colorful light bloomed within her pupils like a thousand dancing flowers, from which a sharp aura emanated.

It seemed as if every petal was a sharp blade, capable of killing without a trace.

Though composed of women, the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers was extremely powerful.

The current Valley Master was named Wan Liuxiang, known in the Southern Wilderness as Sect Leader Wan!

Sect Leader Wan was deep in thought. 'This Ling Fei is only at the Small Primordial Pill Realm, yet he managed to slay Beishan Yun and withstand the might of the Beiming Sword Array summoned by Beichen Feng. He's a truly astonishing talent. Now he has even entered the Mist Mountain Abyss and survived, which makes things even more intriguing. And judging by Yuan Huaitian's demeanor, he's obviously planning something.'

'He only asked me to make an appearance this time to intimidate Beiming Huahai; I don't necessarily have to actually exert myself. Still, it's a good trade for an opportunity. If this Ling Fei really becomes a Pill King, a single Divine Mansion Level Elixir could create a new Divine Mansion Realm powerhouse.'

At this thought, a fiery look appeared in Sect Leader Wan's eyes.

Although she was a Divine Mansion Realm existence, she was only at the Divine Mansion Opening Realm.

If her lifespan were to run out one day and the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers was left without a Divine Mansion Realm expert to guard it, the consequences would be dire.

'Ling Fei clearly activated the restrictions in the Mist Mountain Abyss on purpose to get the people from the other sects killed. It's said that he entered Dongze Mountain; perhaps he obtained the Marsh King's inheritance, which would explain how he could activate the restrictions here without dying. If so, everything that happened earlier would make sense.'

Sect Leader Wan continued to ponder.

'If he truly obtained the Marsh King's inheritance, on top of the Yuan Feng Pill King's inheritance, his future achievements will be beyond anything we can imagine. In that case, it's a gamble well worth taking.' A glint flashed in Sect Leader Wan's eyes, then gradually solidified as if she had made a momentous decision.

She then sent a message to Yuan Huaitian, agreeing to the alliance.

Normally, she would not agree to such a thing so lightly.

After all, allying with the Lingyun Sect meant confronting the Beiming Sword Sect.

Angering the Beiming Sword Sect would be an extremely unfavorable outcome.

But Ling Fei's performance thus far had convinced Sect Leader Wan to make her decision and see how things would unfold.

It was well known that the Marsh King's rise back in his day was inextricably linked to the Falling Star Mountain Range.

The fact that Ling Fei was now risking everything to come here made her feel that there had to be some connection.

The next moment, her flying chariot moved, soaring toward the mountain range ahead.

Several Nascent Soul Realm Elders followed close behind.

The flying chariot streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of falling flower petals in its wake.

At the same time, a floral fragrance spread out, blanketing the area for a thousand li around.

"It's the people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers." As the floral scent spread, the expressions of the Beiming Sword Sect members darkened.

"Sect Leader Wan? Why has she revealed herself?" A glint flashed in Beiming Huahai's eyes. He had sensed her presence earlier.

But back then, she had remained hidden, obviously intending to stay neutral.

Why was she suddenly making a move now?

'Is she choosing a side?'

The flying chariot crossed the sky and landed in the area near Yuan Huaitian.

Although there was still some distance between them, any discerning eye could see that the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers had allied with the Lingyun Sect.
