The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 602: Tianheng Technique!

In the grand elder's room.

Ling Feng once again used the Regenerative Needle Array to treat the grand elder's injuries.

The battle with Elder Hei Yu had further drained the grand elder's vitality. Even with Ling Feng's expertise in The Profound Art of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, it could only stabilize his condition slightly.

The grand elder's body could no longer endure a third round of acupuncture, meaning that he had, at most, a little over a year left to live. However, compared to his previous state of near collapse, this was already a significant improvement.

"Master, how is the Grand Elder?" Tuoba Cheng hurried forward as soon as he saw Ling Feng retract the golden needles and anxiously asked.

"His lifespan is set, and I cannot defy the heavens," Ling Feng sighed lightly, speaking softly.

"Sacred Master, there is no need for concern. I have long known that my time is short. Being able to live another year is already a blessing," the grand elder said with a faint smile. "On the day of the ancestral ceremony, if the Sacred Master obtains the inheritance of our ancestors, I hope you’ll lead our clan to greater heights."

"Uh..." Ling Feng shook his head repeatedly. "Grand Elder, I am not a member of the Tiance Clan."

"The moment fate chose you to be our Sacred Master, you became the leader of our clan. Everything has been predestined."

The grand elder smiled but said no more. He leaned back against the bed and slowly said, "Since the Sacred Master has been recognized by the Tiance Mirror, you should now be able to harness the power of Tiance. Cheng, after this, take the Sacred Master down and teach him the Tianheng Profound Art as well."

"The Tianheng Profound Art?" Ling Feng's eyes twitched. "Is that the illusion technique you and Elder Hei Yu used?"

"The Tianheng Profound Art is the core cultivation technique of our clan. In fact, everyone who practices this art can comprehend different techniques. Illusion techniques are just one aspect of it. There's also the art of interpreting heavenly secrets, the ability to foresee and avoid danger, treasure hunting, and countless other mysteries within it."

Tuoba Cheng explained, "However, to cultivate this technique, one must first awaken their Mystic Wheel Source. Although you don't have a Mystic Wheel Source, Master, you possess the sacred relic, the Tiance Mirror. Cultivating the Tianheng Profound Art with it will undoubtedly be more powerful than with an ordinary Mystic Wheel!"

"Oh, that does sound interesting!" Ling Feng rubbed his nose. The techniques of the Tiance Clan seemed quite different from the martial skills of ordinary martial artists, but in terms of lethality, they were even more formidable. They had endless variations that could catch people off guard.

Since he was going to enter the imperial tomb with Tuoba Yan, and having already witnessed her strength, Ling Feng knew he couldn't afford to be careless.

Even if he couldn't master the powerful Tianheng Technique, it wouldn't hurt to learn a bit about it.

"Since the Sacred Master is interested in the Tianheng Technique, Cheng, take him to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. I need to rest now," the grand elder said, his voice showing signs of further aging.

In his current state, almost every time he used a technique, it was like burning his vitality. Moreover, he had been facing a formidable opponent like Elder Hei Yu.

"Rest well, Grand Elder. I will visit you again later."

Tuoba Cheng stood up to take his leave, and along with Tuoba Longchuan, led Ling Feng toward the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion as the grand elder had instructed.

Meanwhile, that despicable donkey was guarding the courtyard. The girl named Tuoba Yuer was happily playing with little Qiongqi, while the donkey watched over them carefully, fearing that the girl might accidentally hurt little Qiongqi.

Overall, the donkey was quite a responsible donkey dad.

When Ling Feng emerged, the despicable donkey immediately turned his back in an arrogant manner, crossing his hooves and standing to the side with a snort. "That annoying little girl is really bothersome!"

Ling Feng couldn't help but smile and shake his head. "Despicable Donkey, I'm heading to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. Do you want to come along?"

"Oh?" The donkey's eyes lit up. "Are there any treasures?"

"Ten-thousands of scrolls, all valuable items!" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly.

"Never mind then. This divine beast has mastered seventy-two ultimate techniques of the divine donkey, so I don't need those flashy, impractical techniques!"

"Suit yourself." Ling Feng shrugged. This guy was always so stubborn. But to be fair, those so-called seventy-two ultimate techniques of his were indeed impressive. Just take Elder Hei Yu, for example. If the despicable donkey ever got close to him, those seventy-two ultimate techniques might very well make him regret it.

In no time, under the guidance of Tuoba Cheng and Tuoba Longchuan, Ling Feng arrived at a three-story building guarded by sentries, all of whom exuded strong auras.

Any place where martial art manuals were stored within a sect was always heavily guarded, and naturally, the Tiance Clan was no exception.

The three of them entered the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and Tuoba Cheng quickly retrieved a thin booklet before handing it over to Ling Feng with a smile. "Master, this is our clan's Tianheng Profound Art. Unfortunately, the Tiance Thirteen Divine Thoughts, created by Great Emperor Tiance, has been lost to time. If the Tiance Thirteen Divine Thoughts had been preserved, our clan's power would undoubtedly have reached even greater heights."

"Mm-hmm."

Ling Feng took the booklet and flipped through a few pages, nodding slightly. "It is indeed vast and profound. But it's a pity that I'm not well-versed in these mysterious arts; many parts are obscure and difficult to understand."

"Each person has their own interpretation of the Tianheng Profound Art, so even our predecessors couldn't provide clear guidance."

After thinking for a moment, Tuoba Cheng suddenly suggested, "Master, why don't we go and test what attribute your Mystic Wheel Source is? If it's wood, I can teach you a few wood-based techniques."

"Mystic Wheel Source?" Ling Feng felt a headache coming on. "What's that?"

"When someone from the Tiance Clan awakens the power of Tiance, they have a chance to condense their own Mystic Wheel Source. It's like the lantern-like artifact you saw floating around our clansmen during battle. We also call it the Tianheng Mystic Wheel."

Tuoba Cheng patiently explained, "Everyone's Mystic Wheel Source attribute is different. Since you have been recognized by the Tiance Mirror, your source attribute should be quite rare."

Tuoba Longchuan nodded in agreement. "Finding out the attribute of your Mystic Wheel Source will indeed be very helpful in mastering the Tianheng Profound Art."

"In that case, I might as well give it a try."

Ling Feng nodded. Ever since the Tiance Mirror entered his sea of mind, aside from the initial information it transmitted into his consciousness, it had remained dormant. Perhaps, only with the special secret arts of the Tiance Clan could he activate this valuable artifact.

"The first floor of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has many spirit-awakening devices. Master, I'll take you there!"

Soon, Ling Feng saw what Tuoba Cheng and the others referred to as a spirit-awakening device. It seemed similar to the equipment used at the Tianwei Academy to test the attributes of true qi.

"Master, place your hand on the testing pillar to the left, and the crystal next to it will display your attribute source. If it's the fire attribute, the red crystal will light up; if it's wood, then the green crystal... Over the centuries, the most common attributes in our clan have been the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Of course, there are also some rarer attributes. I'm curious to see what your attribute source is."

Tuoba Cheng spoke slowly.

Ling Feng nodded and placed his hand on the testing pillar as instructed. In an instant, a blazing red light erupted out, shining intensely. The light was so powerful that it formed a fiery pillar that shot straight up into the sky. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Fire attribute! Master, so you're a fire attribute—"

However, before Tuoba Cheng could finish speaking, green light, blue light, gold light, purple light, cyan light, and white light began to flash...

In the blink of an eye, all twelve attribute crystals lit up. Their brilliant radiance intermingled and pierced through the roof of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, illuminating the sky!
