The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1334: The Big Three Half-Saints

Seeing the alchemy masters and grandmasters of the Dan Ding Grand Hall wearing expressions of eager curiosity and deep respect, Feng Ling felt as though her entire worldview was about to collapse.

She had thought that transferring Ling Feng to the Dan Ding Grand Hall would blunt his sharp edges. Instead, not only had his edge remained intact, he had become the true ruler of the Dan Ding Grand Hall!

This guy truly could not be judged by common sense!

"Because Master Ling improved the alchemy processes in our alchemy rooms, overall efficiency increased significantly," Sun Pei explained with a smile from the side. "That is why all the masters want to learn alchemy techniques from Master Ling. He has been holding lectures like this for several days now, and everyone has benefited greatly."

Feng Ling's lips twitched slightly. Her heart felt like a jar of mixed flavors overturned, and she could not put her feelings into words.

"Oh, we also have Lady Feng to thank for recommending Master Ling to us," Sun Pei added with a grin. "At first I thought you had some other intention. Now I understand. With your insight, you must have recognized Master Ling's talent long ago, which is why you sent him here to resolve the Dan Ding Grand Hall's problems!"

"Hehe..."

Feng Ling gave Sun Pei a stiff smile. This outcome was completely beyond her expectations. What talent had she seen in Ling Feng at all!

Still, she was not foolish enough to expose herself. She could only laugh awkwardly, exchange a few polite words with Ling Feng, then find an excuse to leave.

"That damned brat!"

After leaving the Dan Ding Grand Hall, Feng Ling gritted her teeth in frustration. After a moment, she shook her head and laughed at herself. "Forget it. He is an unpolished jade. I can report back to Elder Gui now. This Ling Feng..."

A glint flashed through her eyes as she murmured softly, "He really is interesting!"

...

Inside the Dan Ding Grand Hall.

After Feng Ling left, Ling Feng finally asked the alchemists around him, "Everyone, may I ask which hall Senior Sister Feng Ling belongs to? She is an inner sect disciple, but you are all elders. You seemed especially respectful toward her."

Ling Feng felt that Feng Ling had been deliberately targeting him, though without obvious malice.

Thinking back to how he had inexplicably been assigned to the outer sect, followed by Feng Ling's deliberate difficulties, he suspected that tracing things through her might reveal who was standing behind her.

Ye Xiong immediately spoke up. "Master Ling, Feng Ling belongs to the Tempest Wind Hall. Although she is only an ordinary inner sect disciple, in a certain sense, she is not ordinary at all."

"What do you mean?" Ling Feng asked with a raised brow.

"When she passed the qualification assessment back then, her overall ranking was first," Ye Xiong explained slowly. "A Tempest Wind Hall elder originally wanted to take her as a direct disciple, but the matter ended without result. Half a year later, during a major battle, Feng Ling suddenly rose to prominence and broke into the top thirty of the Creation Star Ranking. Because of this, many people speculate that she received guidance from a great expert, very likely one of the Big Three Half-Saints!"

"The Creation Star Ranking. The Big Three Half-Saints?" Ling Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Noticing Ling Feng's confusion, Ye Xiong hurriedly continued, "The Creation Star Ranking is somewhat similar to the Mingjian Tower ranking of the outer sect."

"There are one hundred seats on the Creation Star Ranking, corresponding to one hundred Star Thrones surrounding the Immortal Jade Pool. The first place sits closest to the Immortal Jade Pool, and the lower the rank, the farther the throne is. Without question, every Star Throne is a treasure coveted by all inner sect disciples. Once you become a throne holder, you can cultivate near the Immortal Jade Pool. With its terrifying spiritual energy, your cultivation progress naturally advances at an astonishing pace!"

"The Immortal Jade Pool! Interesting!" Ling Feng said softly.

He recalled his first day at the Dongling Immortal Pool, when he saw the Heavenly Pool encircled by eight floating immortal islands. That was the Immortal Jade Pool.

It was the lifeblood of the Dongling Immortal Pool. The spiritual power it contained was almost comparable to the legendary immortal spirit energy!

Occupying a Star Throne meant gaining the chance to approach that pool and draw upon its vast spiritual power. As a result, those on the Creation Star Ranking gradually pulled farther ahead of ordinary inner sect disciples.

"The Creation Star Ranking is open to all inner sect and direct disciples in the Heavenly Realm," Ye Xiong continued. "The word Creation refers to the Creation Realm. Anyone capable of contending for a Star Throne is undoubtedly a Human Emperor level expert. Some are even stronger than ordinary elders!"

"I see," Ling Feng replied with a nod.

He was still only an outer sect disciple, not even qualified to compete for the ranking. These matters were not something he needed to worry about yet.

"Then what about the Big Three Half-Saints?" Ling Feng asked.

"The Big Three Half-Saints!"

A look of deep reverence appeared in Ye Xiong's eyes. The other alchemists also became solemn.

"The Big Three Half-Saints are the peak experts of our Dongling Immortal Pool. In terms of seniority and strength, they are even above the Immortal Pool's sect leader. However, they mostly live in semi seclusion, residing year round in the Three Great Saint Realms. One is Elder Gui, known as the Black Tortoise Half-Saint, who lives in the Spirit Turtle Sacred Sanctuary. Another is Elder Long, the Azure Dragon Half-Saint, who lives in the Azure Dragon Sacred Sanctuary. The last is the Giant Whale Half-Saint, who lives in the Heavenly Whale Sacred Sanctuary."

"Elder Gui, Elder Long, and Elder Jing are the Big Three Half-Saints of our Dongling Immortal Pool," Ye Xiong said.

"In terms of the number of Half-Saints, neither the other two human sacred lands nor the demon race sacred land can compare with us. One hundred years ago, Elder Long led an expedition against the northern demon tribe and fought their Half-Saint expert for three days and nights, ultimately returning victorious. The northern demon tribe has remained quiet for over a century since then. Otherwise, the Tiansheng Empire and the Tianbai Empire near the northern demon lands would likely have lost half their territory."

Ling Feng nodded. No wonder the demon race dared not deploy their highest level experts lightly when fighting humans. They feared the human sacred lands.

Could one of the Big Three Half-Saints be backing Feng Ling?

The thought made Ling Feng's expression grow serious.

"I understand now. Thank you, Ye Xiong," Ling Feng said, giving him a small nod.

Since Ye Xiong absolutely refused to let Ling Feng call him "Master," Ling Feng had no choice but to address him by name.

"Why be so polite with me, Master Ling?" Ye Xiong replied enthusiastically. "You have been lecturing us for so long. You must be thirsty. I will pour you some tea."

With that, Ye Xiong happily grabbed the teapot and went to refill the cup.

The other alchemists nearby were already used to such scenes. Still, thinking of how the former "Black Abyss Executioner" had turned into such a gentle and obedient "loyal dog" left them feeling deeply unsettled.
