810 Exit Seclusion!

Thump.

Zhao Sheng knelt in front of Zhao Chuanlong, his entire body trembling.

“Hmm?”

Zhao Chuanlong opened his eyes and looked at the two unfamiliar men.

“Zhao Sheng, we are under the orders of the Patriarch to send Zhao Sheng back to the Zhao family.”

The two of them revealed their identities. They were from the Jing family in Pingyang City.

“Perfected Person Jing? All right, send my regards to Perfected Person Jing.”

After the Jing family left, Zhao Chuanlong stared at Zhao Sheng, who was limp on the ground like a pool of mud. He was not even a half-Chaotic lifeform. Zhao Chuanlong could not even be bothered to attack.

“Do you see the reality now? Going to the Jing family to complain in tears? What a joke! Drag him out and deal with him.”

Zhao Chuanlong waved his hand and got someone to drag Zhao Sheng out.

Zhao Chuanlong did not care about such a disappearance at all. What he cared about was the Jing family’s attitude.

“What an old fox. Are you trying to express goodwill? Hmph, if I haven’t metamorphosed into a Chaotic lifeform and Perfected Person Lin isn’t around, the Jing family probably wouldn’t have been able to resist pouncing on me, right?”

Zhao Chuanlong was perceptive and naturally knew what the Jing family was planning. However, he did not pay much attention to it. Strength was the most important thing. Although the Zhao family had lost 800 Qilin Guards, an additional Chaotic Perfected Person like him was enough to intimidate some covetous factions around him.

Overall, although the Zhao family had internal strife, with the addition of Zhao Chuanlong, a Chaotic Perfected Person, not only did they not lose much strength, their strength had even increased.

After all, a Chaotic Perfected Person could still grow. He still had various abilities that were far more useful to the Zhao family than the 800 Qilin Guards. Moreover, they could train the 800 Qilin Guards over again. With the Zhao family’s foundation, they might be able to train another 800 Qilin Guards in a few hundred years at most. When the time came, with Zhao Chuanlong, there was no need to fear other factions.

“That’s right. I’m afraid I have no choice but to accept Revered Person Nimbus’ invitation!”

There were two invitation letters on the table beside Zhao Chuanlong. Revered Person Nimbus had sent someone to deliver them a few days ago. They were for Zhao Chuanlong and Lin Feng.

It seemed like Revered Person Nimbus was also paying attention to the matters in Red Phosphorus City and Shangyang City.

Zhao Chuanlong already knew the contents of Revered Person Nimbus’ invitation letter. The centennial Nimbus Tournament could be considered a grand event in the entire Incendium Continent. How could he not know?

“Perfected Person Lin hasn’t exited seclusion yet…”

Zhao Chuanlong frowned. Lin Feng had already stayed in the library for a full ten months, almost a year, and had yet to come out. If not for the fact that Lin Feng’s aura was still in the library, Zhao Chuanlong might even suspect that something had happened to Lin Feng.

But now, he could only wait quietly. Lin Feng had not exited seclusion. If he did not have any important matters, he would not dare to disturb Lin Feng. The mind-manipulating lotus seed was still in effect. Even though Zhao Chuanlong had become a Chaotic lifeform, there was no change.

…

“Lightning Drawing Technique!”

Rumble.

Thunder rumbled in the sky. This was not ordinary lightning, but Chaotic lightning. Only Chaotic spells could draw down lightning.

Lin Feng retracted his technique. This was already the 28th Chaotic-level spell he had mastered.

“How miraculous! Unfortunately, I’ve already finished practicing Chaotic-level spells.”

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes. In the past year in the library, he had practiced Chaotic martial arts and Chaotic spells. His strength could be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

Lin Feng did not practice many Chaotic martial arts, only nine of them. The other Chaotic martial arts were all similar. There were not many martial arts that Lin Feng took too seriously.

However, Chaotic spells were different. Lin Feng practiced a total of 28 Chaotic spells. None of these Chaotic spells overlapped with another, and all of them were incomparably useful.

Perhaps some of these Chaotic spells were not used for combat, but they had various other miraculous uses. Perhaps they could be of use elsewhere in the future.

Including the Chaotic martial arts and Chaotic spells Lin Feng had previously learned, he now possessed 10 Chaotic martial arts and 29 Chaotic spells.

In the past year in the library, Lin Feng could almost be considered reborn.

“The 3,000 Doctrine Scrolls live up to their reputation!”

Lin Feng was also very satisfied with the 3,000 Doctrine Scrolls in the library. Currently, Lin Feng could be considered a qualified Chaotic Perfected Person. Be it martial arts, spells, or knowledge, he was not inferior to other Chaotic Perfected Persons.

“It’s time to exit seclusion.”

Lin Feng knew very well that cultivating with blind diligence was not of much use. Up until now, he had never cultivated ascetically in the Origin Universe. The effect of cultivating ascetically was negligible.

That was, unless he was in a life-or-death seclusion and needed to break through. In that case, he could try cultivating ascetically.

Zhao Chuanlong was the first to sense Lin Feng exit seclusion.

Swoosh.

Zhao Chuanlong rushed over immediately.

“Perfected Person, you’ve finally exited seclusion!”

Zhao Chuanlong’s attitude was very respectful. Lin Feng nodded slightly. It seemed like the mind-manipulating lotus seed was indeed miraculous. Lin Feng had thought that once Zhao Chuanlong metamorphosed into a Chaotic lifeform, he might be able to slowly break free from the control of the mind-manipulating lotus seed.

But from the looks of it now, Zhao Chuanlong could not break free from the mind-manipulating lotus seed at all. In fact, he was sinking deeper and deeper. Now, he had completely fused with the mind-manipulating lotus seed.

“Chuanlong, looks like you’ve been managing the Zhao family very well during this period of time.”

Lin Feng scanned with his mental power, and saw that the entire Zhao family was in order. Although there were much fewer people, and even Zhao Chuanxi, the elders of the Zhao family, and the others had disappeared, the Zhao family was still the Zhao family, and did not fall into chaos because of this.

This meant that Zhao Chuanlong had handled it very well and had completely taken over the authority of the Zhao family.

“Perfected Person, you flatter me. If not for your awe-inspiring reputation, some fools might try to attack the Zhao family.” Zhao Chuanlong sneered, appearing very disdainful.

“By the way, why are you in such a hurry to come?”

“Perfected Person, there’s an invitation letter from Revered Person Nimbus here. Please make the decision.”

Hence, Zhao Chuanlong handed the invitation letter to Lin Feng.

“Revered Person Nimbus?”

Lin Feng opened the invitation letter and roughly understood what Revered Person Nimbus meant. He was inviting Lin Feng to participate in the Nimbus Tournament, but Lin Feng knew nothing about Revered Person Nimbus and the Nimbus Tournament.

“Perfected Person, you may not know this, but Revered Person Nimbus is a veteran Chaotic lifeform. He has long become an advanced Chaotic lifeform, and is one of the famous hegemons of the Incendium Continent. Apart from those few peak Chaotic lifeforms, Revered Person Nimbus is the one in the limelight. It’s even rumored that Revered Person Nimbus will definitely enter the realm of a peak Chaotic lifeform within 10,000 years!

“Revered Person Nimbus likes to collect genius disciples. He’s not particular. Every hundred years, he would invite Perfected Persons from the major aristocratic families and factions to participate in the Nimbus Tournament. He will also bring some geniuses to participate in the competition along the way. If there are any geniuses that Revered Person Nimbus is satisfied with during the competition, he will even take them in as his disciples.

“Therefore, after a while, the Nimbus Tournament became a grand event that was the hottest topic in the entire Incendium Continent. Prodigious geniuses of the continent would definitely pay attention to or participate in it.”

Lin Feng nodded. He did not care about geniuses at all. What genius could be comparable to a Chaotic lifeform?

“Chuanlong, Chaotic Perfected Persons like us are also invited to the Nimbus Tournament. Revered Person Nimbus spent so much effort to organize the Nimbus Tournament, and invited Chaotic Perfected Persons. It’s probably not as simple as a gathering, right?”

Lin Feng quickly caught the main point. He did not believe that Revered Person Nimbus would be bored enough to specially choose disciples, and invite so many Chaotic Perfected Persons just to show his authority.

A high and mighty Chaotic Perfected Person would not be so senseless.

“Of course, Revered Person Nimbus naturally has another goal. Actually, Revered Person Nimbus’ true goal is to use the Nimbus Tournament to gather many Chaotic Perfected Persons in the Incendium Continent to open the Sky Sigil Mystic Realm together!”

Zhao Chuanlong revealed the true purpose of the Nimbus Tournament.
