Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Yuan Huaitian's voice rang out, full of infectious power.

What Cultivator didn't dream of reaching the peak of Martial Arts?

Who didn't want to become a legendary figure who could command the winds and clouds?

However, due to limitations in talent and resources, many were stuck at the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm, unable to advance even an inch.

These people were usually in seclusion, and over time, they grew melancholy and despondent.

Sect Leader Yuan's words undoubtedly reignited their hope. Each and every one of those Cultivators felt their blood boil as if they had shed thirty years.

"For the Sect, and for ourselves, we must unite as one during these extraordinary times and put the Sect's interests first! Everyone, can you do this?" The deep voice reverberated throughout the Lingyun Sect, reaching the ears of countless Cultivators. Instantly, the entire sect erupted, and one by one, the Cultivators spoke up.

"We will put the Sect's interests first!"

"We will put the Sect's interests first! For this, we are willing to spill our blood and give our lives!"

"Spill our blood and give our lives..."

In that moment, countless Cultivators shouted in unison.

The more they shouted, the more their blood boiled with excitement.

It wasn't just the experts stuck at the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm; even the ordinary Cultivators were invigorated.

After all, the revitalization of the Sect's Alchemy Dao would bring them immense benefits as well.

For these Cultivators, time was the most precious commodity.

And Miracle Elixirs were precisely what could shorten their cultivation time.

A Sect's proficiency in elixirs was of the utmost importance.

Just as the crowd was cheering, Ling Fei appeared on the summit of Lingyun Peak.

"Fellow disciples, I, Ling Fei, have always abided by the Righteous Dao and have never initiated a conflict. You have nothing to fear. In the Lingyun Sect, as long as you cultivate diligently, unite with your fellow disciples, and do not break the sect rules, you will be nurtured. I am not exceptionally talented, but I have received the inheritance of the Yuan Feng Pill King. I am grateful that the Sect Leader and the Elders think highly of me and see me as the one to lead our revitalization. The path to becoming a Pill King is illusory and difficult to climb, but how can we, as Cultivators of our generation, be without soaring aspirations?"

"Since we have embarked on this path of Martial Arts, we must strive forward and vow to reach our own Martial Arts Peak. Therefore, even if my talent is lacking, I will do my utmost to cultivate with the goal of becoming a Pill King. If I succeed, then within the Lingyun Sect, anyone who is astonishingly talented or exceptionally diligent will be able to receive my Elixirs."

As Ling Fei spoke, his voice was sonorous, like the cry of a True Dragon, powerful enough to pierce gold and shatter stone. It traveled across the various peaks of the Lingyun Sect.

The moment the voice reached their ears, it immediately captured the attention of countless people.

"It's Ling the Pill Master!"

"He's actually so powerful! His voice can travel all the way from the distant Lingyun Peak to our Water Essence Peak!"

'What do you mean, not exceptionally talented? He's a once-in-a-millennium genius of our Lingyun Sect!'

"That's right! We, as Cultivators of our generation, should indeed have soaring aspirations!"

As Ling Fei's words sank in, everyone felt incredibly inspired.

At the same time, the fact that Ling Fei's voice could travel in all directions left countless people in shock.

One must understand that let alone those in the Celestial Pill Realm, even experts at the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm would find it difficult for their voice to travel in all directions and cover a distance of over thirty miles!

Yet, when Ling Fei's voice rippled out, even those over sixty miles away could faintly hear it, a clear testament to his power.

This allowed the people of the Lingyun Sect to personally feel Ling Fei's immense strength.

As a result, their confidence in this path of revitalization grew even stronger.

Who wouldn't want their own Sect to be powerful?

When a Sect is powerful, its Cultivators can obtain more resources.

With more resources, the probability of becoming an expert naturally increases.

"I am very pleased that all my fellow disciples share this sentiment," Ling Fei said. "In the days to come, I hope we can all work together with one heart and one mind to revitalize our Sect."

Although he always acted with a clear conscience, he knew that strengthening a Sect was a complex affair. The hearts of the people had to be stable.

If the people's hearts were not stable, even iron-fisted methods would not provide a lasting solution.

It was for the best that he could resolve the crowd's resentment at this moment.

"We will stand with Ling the Pill Master!"

"We will stand with Ling the Pill Master!" countless voices cried out.

"Good. In that case, everyone may return to your cultivation," Sect Leader Yuan announced from the summit, quite satisfied with the outcome.

Immediately, the people from the various peaks dispersed.

However, they were now filled with fighting spirit, and each one of them was full of passion for cultivation.

"Now, it's just a matter of time." Sensing the unified atmosphere throughout the Sect, Grand Elder Fang and the others smiled.

...

After leaving Lingyun Peak, Ling Fei returned to his residence.

"Ling Fei!"

As Ling Fei landed, Mu Xue and Huang Xiaoman immediately rushed over to greet him.

Upon seeing the familiar young man, beyond the excitement on their faces, their eyes held a deep sense of worry.

Ever since they heard that Ling Fei had been ambushed again by people from the Beiming Sword Sect, they had been unable to eat or sleep in peace.

Fortunately, Ling Fei had returned safely.

Not only that, but he had also defeated the Third Prince.

It was exhilarating news.

"Xiaoman, Mu Xue!" Ling Fei smiled upon seeing his old friends.

"Greetings, Ling the Pill Master!" In addition, the four Medicine Attendants also came forward to pay their respects.

'Everyone is still here.' Seeing all the familiar faces, Ling Fei took a deep breath, a complex look in his eyes.

The dream of Xin Meng from the True Dragon Ancient Hall was something he could not forget.

'Only by becoming strong can I protect the most precious things in my life,' Ling Fei thought to himself.

"Ling Fei, you even defeated the Third Prince! How did you get so strong?" Mu Xue asked, blinking her bright eyes as she stared at him.

"Heh, I had to get strong to stay alive!" Ling Fei laughed. "Otherwise, you would have been driven out to the Outer Sect!"

"Hmph. You make it sound like you worked so hard just for me. Don't say things like that, or I might actually fall for you," Mu Xue said, rolling her eyes. Then, in a teasing tone, she added, "And once that happens, you won't be able to get rid of me even if you try." A mischievous grin spread across her face.

Seeing Mu Xue act like this, Huang Xiaoman was speechless.

But she stole a glance at Ling Fei, her feelings a tangled mess.

The boy from before had lost his youthful innocence and had grown into a tall, imposing young man.

There was now an aura about him that only belonged to the strong.

The Ling Fei of today was clearly more charismatic than before.

'Ling Fei is already approaching the Nascent Soul Realm, but I haven't even reached the Primordial Pill Realm yet.' The light in Huang Xiaoman's ardent eyes suddenly dimmed. She lowered her head slightly, a hint of sadness in her heart. She knew this gap would only grow wider in the future, and her chances with Ling Fei would become smaller and smaller.

Mu Xue's bold words made Ling Fei pause.

Sometimes, he really didn't know how to win a verbal spar with this senior sister of his.

Seeing Ling Fei's reaction, Mu Xue looked triumphant.

'So what if Ling Fei can sweep away all those geniuses out there? In front of me, isn't he still helpless?'

She was very pleased.

"Heh heh, Senior Sister Mu Xue, it seems you're quite eager to warm my bed!" Seeing her smug look, Ling Fei was exasperated. He rubbed his nose, stared at the gracefully built and exquisitely beautiful Mu Xue before him, and smirked.

He looked just like a hungry wolf eyeing a little lamb.

"Ahem! I-I still prefer to sleep alone," Mu Xue stammered, a wave of fear washing over her.

Seeing this, Ling Fei chuckled. 'So this senior sister has a day where she backs down too!'

"Hey, Junior Brother Ling Fei, did you bring us any presents on your trip back? Xiaoman and I have been on pins and needles worrying about you every single day!" Seeing Ling Fei seemingly laughing at her, Mu Xue raised her gaze, puffed out her chest, and looked him up and down as she spoke nonchalantly.

Clearly, she was changing the subject to dispel the awkwardness of the previous moment.

"Presents? Heh, my trip this time was quite fruitful. I do indeed have some presents," Ling Fei laughed.

"Really?" Mu Xue's face lit up.

Huang Xiaoman was also full of anticipation.

"Come, Xiaoman, Mu Xue, see what you like." Ling Fei walked into the main hall and took out some of his spoils.

Among them were various Weapons, all of which were Spiritual Artifacts.

"Whoa, Ling Fei, how do you have so many Spiritual Artifacts... Did... did you steal all of these?" Mu Xue couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing so many.

"What do you mean, steal? They're spoils of war, okay?" Ling Fei rolled his eyes and scoffed internally. 'Do I look like the kind of bad guy who goes around robbing people?'

"Ahem, you kind of do," Mu Xue retorted, rolling her eyes back at him.

"This sword... its edge is so sharp!" Huang Xiaoman, however, had already set her sights on a Treasure Sword.

"I want one too!" Seeing this, Mu Xue also hurriedly began to choose.

In the end, both she and Huang Xiaoman chose a Treasure Sword.

Ling Fei had killed numerous Cultivators from the Beiming Sword Sect, and the number of Spirit Level Treasure Swords he had obtained was enough to open his own Spiritual Artifact shop.

Besides them, Ling Fei also gave some rewards to the four Medicine Attendants.

Regardless, since these people had followed him and hadn't betrayed him, it was only natural to give them some benefits.

Ling Fei was never stingy with his own people.

After returning, Ling Fei didn't immediately go into cultivation.

Because before long, visitors began to arrive.

People like He Tianming, Zhao Fan, and others.

Ling Fei drank and gathered with them, seemingly cherishing these moments.

Ever since the dream of Xin Meng in the True Dragon Ancient Hall, Ling Fei had come to cherish everything he had in the present even more.

This naturally included the fellow disciples who had gone through life and death with him.

It was also because he cherished life that he had used iron-fisted methods to eliminate scourges like Li Qinghou.

「Three days later.」 Ling Fei entered the Cultivation Room.

First, he took out the Spiritual Artifacts he had obtained from the Falling Star Mountain Range.

Among them were quite a few Profound Spirit Treasures.

Of those Profound Spirit Treasures, the best naturally belonged to Chen Yidao and Fan Wei from the Blood Killing Sect.

Chen Yidao cultivated the Sword Dao, while Fan Wei possessed Bloodline Power.

"None of these Weapons are suitable for me. I can sell them to the Sect," Ling Fei murmured.

He had far too many Weapons on hand; keeping them was useless.

"This Golden Dragon Mace, on the other hand, is quite good." Ling Fei's gaze focused, his eyes landing on the Golden Dragon Mace.

This was the Third Prince's Profound Spirit Treasure.

When Ling Fei held it in his hand, he could feel its immense weight.

An incredibly fierce True Dragon Aura permeated the air.

Upon closer inspection, one could see Dao Patterns carved onto it. The patterns were profound, like mystical principles that had Divine Techniques branded within them.

Previously, Ling Fei wouldn't have had such a clear understanding of these Dao Patterns.

But now, having come into contact with numerous Profound Spirit Treasures, he had more or less figured out the function of these Dao Patterns.

"The Dragon Patterns within this Golden Dragon Mace are quite powerful. If I activate it with my True Dragon Blood Qi, I should be able to unleash its full potential," Ling Fei murmured. "Furthermore, this Golden Dragon Mace seems to have been forged from Profound Gold Iron combined with Flood Dragon Bone, making it a Supreme Treasure in its own right."

"I'll be keeping this Golden Dragon Mace." With a thought, Ling Fei immersed his Heart Spirit into the mace.
