The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1231: Ive Taken a Liking To You

At the summit of Misty Sea Volcano Island.

On both sides of the Bridge of Life and Death, the martial practitioners stared at one another in shock. No one knew what to say.

Even mid-tier Human Emperors like Lou Qianzhong and Zong Lian had struggled to cross. Even Lin Mu, a genius who came from the Dongling Immortal Pool, never dared to run across the Bridge of Life and Death.

Yet that youngster in mere Spiritual Element Realm actually sprinted across it!

What unsettled them even more was that Ling Feng carried two people while doing it!

"Damn it! Am I seeing things?"

Lou Qianzhong stared blankly, refusing to trust his own eyes.

Zong Lian's mouth twitched. He had the same feeling, as if his vision had deceived him.

He had personally experienced how hard it was to cross the Bridge of Life and Death, yet this kid moved like he was taking a stroll.

"Interesting! That girl actually knows a rather amusing individual!"

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and studied Ling Feng for a moment before returning to his usual lazy, carefree look.

The crowd only exploded when Ling Feng reached the altar, lightly set the two women down and stood there without even catching his breath.

Those who had yet to cross suddenly rushed toward the Bridge of Life and Death.

To them, the only explanation was that the pressure had already faded, which was why Ling Feng passed so easily.

But the moment the first group stepped onto the bridge, they let out muffled cries and scrambled back in terror.

The pressure had not weakened at all. With the mist below starting to gather again, it had actually grown heavier.

"How... How is this possible?"

"Is that kid even human?"

The wandering cultivators who barely survived stared at Ling Feng as if he were a monster. He had not used a single magical treasure and had relied purely on his body to carry two people across with ease.

What kind of freak was he?

The mist below the mountain slowly crept upward. Those who failed to cross had no choice but to retreat. If night fully settled, they would not make it down safely.

On the far side of the Bridge of Life and Death, Lou Qianzhong was so stunned that he circled Ling Feng like he was inspecting some priceless treasure.

After a long moment, he pointed at himself and said, "Kid, do you know who I am?"

Ling Feng rubbed his nose. "Lord Lou, Lou Qianzhong."

"Hahaha! Exactly, I'm Lou Qianzhong, and you're impressive. I've taken a liking to you!" Lou Qianzhong laughed.

"..."

Ling Feng's mouth twitched. "Senior, I'm not interested in that."

"Hmm?" Lou Qianzhong's eyes widened, and suddenly cursed, "Nonsense! Do I look like I'm interested in something like that? I'm talking about your talent. How about you take me as your master?"

"Apologies, Senior. I already have a master."

Ling Feng shook his head without hesitation.

Lou Qianzhong froze for a moment. He had spoken casually and never expected the kid to reject him so directly.

He was one of the Inner Sea's top Human Emperors. Normally people fought for the chance to kneel before him!

"Kid, are you saying your master is stronger than me?" Instead of backing off, Lou Qianzhong became even more interested.

"If we compare cultivation, he may not surpass Senior. But a teacher is a father for life. May I ask, Senior, can a father be replaced at will?"

Ling Feng looked him in the eye and answered calmly.

"Uh..." Lou Qianzhong's face tightened. He stared at Ling Feng for a long time before looking away with a sigh. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Fine, fine. If you don't want to take me as your master, then forget it. You really are something!"

He slapped Ling Feng's shoulder and chuckled. "Since a father can't be replaced, then call me Big Brother instead. That should be fine!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. The man truly loved taking advantage, but he was still a respected expert. Calling him Big Brother was harmless.

"Alright then, Big Brother Lou." Ling Feng smiled and spoke softly.

"Hahaha, that's more like it!" Lou Qianzhong burst into laughter and shot a glare at Zong Lian. "Some people better keep their eyes open. This kid is Lou Qianzhong's brother now. Anyone who wants to touch him can give it a try!"

Zong Lian flinched. Whatever he had been thinking vanished instantly.

Lou Qianzhong was not someone who could be provoked!

Despite his self-declared "Lord" title, he had no sect behind him, no ties, and no patience. If someone angered him, he would go straight to their doorstep without fear of consequences.

There was a saying in the Inner Sea: better offend the Murong Clan than provoke Qianzhong!

Ling Feng gave a quiet laugh. Lou Qianzhong turned out to be surprisingly straightforward.

"Hehe!"

Lou Qianzhong grinned, then looked up at the darkening sky, his expression turning serious. He immediately leapt onto the central altar and shouted, "Time's up! Everyone step into the array and keep your guard up. This array leads to the Sea of Miracles, but it is far from safe. No one knows what lies on the other side, so anyone who wants to live should be ready to fight at a moment's notice!"

The last ray of sunset faded, and night descended. Faces tightened as everyone stepped onto the altar and entered the array.

Ling Feng joined them with Tuoba Yan and Lan Yuhuang.

Lan Yuhuang lowered her voice and muttered, "Hey, damned fatty, you got lucky. Lou Qianzhong is covering you this time!"

Ling Feng smiled faintly. Once they reached the Sea of Miracles, she might be the one needing cover. As for Zong Lian, Ling Feng had dismissed him from the start.

After a rough count, there were a total of ten people remaining. Aside from Lou Qianzhong, Zong Lian, Lin Mu, and two other Human Emperors who successfully crossed the Bridge of Life and Death alone, Lin Mu had brought two companions, and Ling Feng had also brought two.

Compared to the countless wandering cultivators earlier, the success rate was barely a tenth. It showed just how difficult the Bridge of Life and Death truly was.

The array had a diameter of about ten zhang, more than enough for them.

Ling Feng examined the array closely and noticed ancient characters engraved on it. Thanks to his studies at Tianwei Academy, he could decipher some of them.

"Forged by the Venerable of the Five Elements from Jiumu City!"

Judging by the inscription, this altar was created by a predecessor known as the Venerable of the Five Elements.

"Jiumu City. What place is that?" Ling Feng murmured.

Lan Yuhuang heard him and replied, "Jiumu City is that island which vanished more than five hundred years ago when the great Inner Sea war broke out. Back then, Tianhuang City was only an ordinary force among the top ten. Tianhuang City slowly rose to power after Jiumu City disappeared."
