Chapter 550: The Chaotic Seed!
Chapter 550: The Chaotic Seed!
"Who I am is not important."
Kong sat cross-legged, his gaze fixed on Ling Feng with an indifferent expression on his face "What matters is that you possess the Blood of the Emperor just like him."
Ling Feng was captivated by Kong's gaze. His mind filled with questions, yet he had no idea where to start.
"To be honest, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Kong raised an eyebrow, and these words only added to Ling Feng's confusion.
"You've been waiting for me?" Ling Feng pointed at his own nose. "You knew I would come?"
"Strictly speaking, it was this guy who knew you would come." Kong gestured to the dried corpse beside him. "Children of the Heavenly Dao always have many incomprehensible abilities. You've already cultivated several divine inscriptions yourself, haven't you?"
Ling Feng gasped. Even the secret of the Eye of the Emperor was completely known to Kong. It was clear that he had a profound connection with the deceased child of the Heavenly Dao.
"Go!" Kong pointed to a cave behind him. "Go inside. Inside, a gift from your predecessor is sealed for you!"
"A gift?" Ling Feng blinked, still completely bewildered. He had no idea what this supposed gift from his predecessor could be.
However, Ling Feng still looked towards the cave behind Kong. That call from the depths of his soul seemed to emanate from this cave.
"Hurry inside," Kong urged again. "Any questions you have might be answered inside."
Ling Feng felt a pang of frustration. Although Kong's personality was vastly different from the celestial and righteous Jiang Xuanwu, when it came to knowledge about the child of the Heavenly Dao, he was just as vague and unwilling to explain.
What is the true nature of the children of the Heavenly Dao? And what terrifying power did the legendary enemies of the children of the Heavenly Dao, the Heaven-Patrolling clan, possess that made these experts remain silent?
Ling Feng clenched his fists. He was still far from being powerful enough!
Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng strode towards the cave.
"Hehe, a Chaotic Seed nurtured by a child of the Heavenly Dao using all their life force... You truly are lucky!"
Watching Ling Feng's figure disappear into the cave, Kong muttered to himself, "By time you come out of this cave, you will understand the power that belongs to the children of the Heavenly Dao!"
With that, Kong sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.
...
Inside the cave, the light was dim. Ling Feng, filled with doubts, felt that he might find some answers here.
Soon, Ling Feng arrived at a cavern where he could clearly hear the dripping sound of water.
"Hello, is anyone here?" Ling Feng asked as he blinked and surveyed his surroundings.
In the center of the cavern was a pool about ten feet square. In the middle of the pool, there was a lotus platform.
However, the lotus platform was empty, with nothing on it.
"Didn't he say there was a gift inside? Why is there only a lotus platform?"
Ling Feng frowned and muttered to himself, "It seems there is more to the lotus platform."
Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng walked slowly towards the lotus platform. Suddenly, the lotus platform in the center of the pool emitted an incredibly dazzling golden light.
The golden light gradually condensed, forming a golden-furred monkey about half the height of a human. It was bouncing around on the lotus platform with its eyes rolling around spiritedly.
"What are you?" Ling Feng asked, bewildered.
"Let me clarify things for you," the golden-furred monkey said, sitting on the lotus platform. "You want to know what a child of the Heavenly Dao is, right?"
The golden-furred monkey crossed its arms, a proud expression on its face. "The children of the Heavenly Dao have the strongest bloodline in the world, and are an incredibly powerful race. Those who possess the Blood of the Emperor are children of the Heavenly Dao."
"Don't tell me you, a golden-furred monkey, are also a child of the Heavenly Dao?" Ling Feng felt his worldview collapsing. Could my ancestors have been from the demon race?
"Demon race? How could you think that the noble children of the Heavenly Dao are part of the demon race?" The golden-furred monkey seemed to read Ling Feng's mind. "Just because someone has fur doesn't make them a monkey. Is it strange that a race born from chaos looks similar to apes?"
"Uh..." Ling Feng rolled his eyes. That made sense, after all.
"So, are you also a child of the Heavenly Dao?" Ling Feng guessed.
"Oh, no," the golden-furred monkey shook its head.
"Pfft..." Ling Feng almost spat blood. So this guy wasn't his ancestor after all!
"Oh? Did you think I was a remnant soul of that dried corpse outside?" The golden-furred monkey grinned. "Didn't that old dragon explain it to you? My master's soul has been completely annihilated. Escaping to the Ancient Cave of Time was already a stroke of luck."
"Escape?" Ling Feng's eyes twitched. "Escape from whom? The Heaven-Patrolling clan?"
"Oh, you even know about the Heaven-Patrolling clan. You know quite a bit," the golden-furred monkey said slowly. "All you need to know is that the Heaven-Patrolling clan is the greatest enemy of the children of the Heavenly Dao. If you don't want to be persecuted by them like your ancestors, then you need to become stronger quickly!"
"So, my grandfather, my father..." Ling Feng clenched his fists. He was starting to understand why his parents had left him and why his grandfather, Ling Hanyang, had suddenly died.
They, like him, were children of the Heavenly Dao with the Blood of the Emperor!
"Save your weak thoughts for later!"
The golden-furred monkey interrupted Ling Feng's thoughts. "All of the children of the Heavenly Dao are unable to escape their destiny. The moment your Eye of the Emperor activated, you were destined to face the powerful Heaven-Patrolling clan."
The golden-furred monkey took a deep breath. "My master was a failure. He placed his hopes on his descendants, and one of those descendants is you."
Ling Feng clenched his fists tighter. He had no right to be weak. No matter who the enemy was, he just had to be stronger to survive.
Seeing the change in Ling Feng's eyes, the golden-furred monkey nodded slightly and then became serious. "Are you ready? I’m about to fuse the Chaotic Seed into your body. Focus your mind and don't think about anything else!"
"The Chaotic Seed?"
Ling Feng's eyes twitched. He didn't fully understand what the golden-furred monkey meant, but he nodded firmly and prepared himself to receive this Chaotic Seed.
"Here I come!"
In an instant, the center of the lotus platform emitted a dazzling golden light. The golden-furred monkey suddenly dispersed, transforming into streams of golden light that merged into Ling Feng's body from all directions.
Ling Feng felt the bloodline flowing within him being fully activated. It was as if an unparalleled power had been buried within him.
It was a power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. One day, it might completely erupt.
At that time, he would become a true child of the Heavenly Dao!
