Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

No seat in the quiet area, in front of Temple No. 27.

As the dazzling light faded, the figures of three goddesses, each with their own unique charm, were revealed.

Sariel wore a star-blue dress, and her heterochromatic eyes reflected the stars, as vast and boundless as the starry sky.
Freya wore a crown of wisdom and a slightly oversized moon-white divine robe, but it could not conceal her incredibly proud figure in the slightest.

Although Ryuzawa Liyue's divine power is slightly inferior to that of the other two goddesses, the allure in her eyes is enough to make countless people fall at her feet.

All eyes turned to Temple No. 27, and some of them were filled with envy.

"As expected of someone who has just joined the Cleric Academy and already achieved a 90% level of Cleric integration!"

Serik took a deep breath and, beaming, introduced the first-level clergy members with the highest serial numbers: "Well, are you dumbfounded? Do you know who lives in Temple No. 27? That's my brother Fei!"

The other level one clergy members, number twenty-something, couldn't help but roll their eyes. This guy really has a thick skin.

It seems that Long Fei didn't take this "little brother" in either, even though this old guy went up and shamelessly called him Brother Fei.

However, if I had known that person was so powerful, I should have been more shameless back then.

……

Meanwhile, Ling Feng was also looking through the booklet that Hawkins had given him in his temple.

And you know what? There were indeed quite a few good things at the treasure competition three days later.

"Master, the goddesses of wisdom, Amaterasu, and the star goddess are waiting outside the door."

Just then, Number 27's voice came, and Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly.

He knew Amaterasu and the goddess of the stars; they were old acquaintances. But what about the goddess of wisdom?

Three powerful experts at the Divine Throne level arrived at once. Could something have happened?
Ling Feng felt a little uneasy, but since Long Ze Liyue had also come, the situation should not be out of control yet.

He forced himself to remain calm and immediately ordered Number 27, "Quickly invite the three goddesses in! Never mind, I'll go greet them myself!"

The next moment, when Ling Feng rushed to the door, he saw that Number 27 and Della were already kneeling in front of the door.

All around, countless eyes were fixed on this spot, which left Ling Feng somewhat bewildered.

"You are Long Fei!"

Freya is the fifth goddess, ranking highest among the three goddesses.

Moreover, this exploration of the circuitous star path is mainly to help her find the other half of the Truth Tablet.

Therefore, she is the captain of this "goddess team".

Ling Feng glanced at the goddess of wisdom before him. This woman was very tall, almost only slightly shorter than Ling Feng, and her body proportions were practically perfect.

Even though she was wearing a relatively loose robe, it couldn't completely conceal her impressive bust size.

Before this, Ling Feng had always thought that Ke Weili was the woman with the best figure he had ever seen, but the appearance of this goddess of wisdom caused Ke Weili to fall from her "pedestal".

This was the first woman Ling Feng had ever seen whose figure alone was enough to spark endless fantasies.

Ling Feng's composure was quite good; he quickly looked away and bowed to the three goddesses, saying, "I am Long Fei. May I ask what brings you three goddesses here?"

Freya smiled slightly. "I heard from Sariel that you are quite capable. Would you be interested in exploring the circuitous star path with us?"

These words, once spoken, exploded like a bomb in the silent, uninhabited space!

really!

The three goddesses came to this place for the purpose of exploring the winding star path that will be available soon!
Whispers spread like wildfire.

Ling Feng could feel countless gazes, some filled with jealousy, others with shock, shooting from all directions, making him feel as if he were being pricked by needles.

His brows furrowed slightly beneath the mask.

This sudden "honor" really disrupted his plans.

But then I thought, if I could take this opportunity to get close to a powerful figure at the God Throne, I might be able to find out some information about Yu Bingqing…

After all, Hawkins was only a third-level priest, so how could the information he possessed compare to that of a god-level expert?
Ling Feng bowed with a touch of his chest, his composure tinged with just the right amount of respect, and said calmly, "I only recently heard about the circuitous star path, and I was just about to explore it myself. However, I am new to the Divine Office and my strength is too weak. I'm afraid I might jeopardize the important matters of the three goddesses..."

"Tch, stop pretending!"

Freya curled her lip, her beautiful eyes scanning Ling Feng up and down. "A guy who can be valued by both Sariel and Liyue is no ordinary person."

Long Ze Liyue chuckled, "Long Fei, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't you team up with us?"

Sariel chimed in, "Yes, Long Fei, I think you've probably reached a bottleneck like Li Yue. While the Detour Star Path is somewhat dangerous, the Star Vein Spirit Pools within it have a tempering effect on divine essence that's hundreds of times stronger than Origin Crystal Dust. Most of the clergy in the Divine Academy who have broken through to over 95% of their divine essence fusion level rely on the spiritual power of the Star Vein Spirit Pools."

Star Vein Spirit Pool?

Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat.

If what Sariel said is true, this may be the key to his breakthrough!
"In that case..."

Just as he was about to agree, a chilling voice suddenly came from afar:
"My three goddesses, isn't this too hasty?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a first-level priest walking through the air.

This person exudes a powerful aura. Ling Feng could tell at a glance that this guy's divine fusion level should have reached a perfect 100%!
They are probably only a hair's breadth away from those god-level powerhouses.

"It's Lord Ares, number 5!"

"It is said that he already possesses the strength to compete for the throne of a god, but he has not yet made a challenge!"

"I didn't expect Lord Ares to show up! He always teamed up with powerful beings from the God Throne during his previous explorations of the Star Path!"

"I heard he had a very good relationship with the former Amaterasu God, Ryuzawa Shuichi..."

Whispers resumed.

Ares landed at the edge of the plaza outside Hall 27, his sinister gaze sweeping over Ling Feng before finally settling on the three goddesses: "I, Ares, am unworthy, but I am willing to serve you three with utmost loyalty. As for this newcomer, although he has some talent, I am confident that I can be of far greater help to you gentlemen."

"oh?"

Freya raised an eyebrow and then smiled, "Interesting. It's not that I absolutely need this Long Fei, but Sariel and Liyue both say that Long Fei has some ability. How about this, you two have a contest?"

Ares immediately raised his fist, looking confident, and said, "Ten moves! If I can't defeat him within ten moves, I'll admit defeat!"

Freya frowned slightly. "Who said we were going to compete in strength? With the three of us Divine Throne experts joining forces, do you think we'd lack combat power?"

"Um..." Ares was slightly taken aback, "Then what should we compete in?"

Freya raised her hand, and a ray of divine light transformed into an extremely complex rune array in front of Ares. She then slowly said, "If you can break this array, I will choose you."

Ares's expression changed.

The rune array was composed of millions of tiny divine runes, which changed and recombined every second, and its complexity far exceeded the comprehension of ordinary clergy.

He was covered in cold sweat, frozen in place, completely at a loss for what to do.

"waste!"

Freya gave a dismissive snort, then turned to Ling Feng: "What about you? Why don't you give it a try?"

Ling Feng's lips curled slightly beneath his mask. What a coincidence!

Ling Feng had already mastered the art of array formations and restrictions!

"Then I shall make a fool of myself." He tapped his fingertip lightly, and his divine sense quickly enveloped the rune array.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, in just ten breaths, all the runes lit up simultaneously, and then—

Just listen to a "bang"!
The rune array exploded with a roar, turning into countless points of light that dissipated.

"interesting!"

Freya's eyes lit up. "It seems you do have some ability and can be of help! Unlike some good-for-nothing."

Ares's face was ashen; though his eyes were full of resentment, he could only slink away.

However, there was a clear increase in hatred in her eyes when she looked at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng was filled with helplessness. This guy didn't dare to hold a grudge against the three goddesses, so he transferred his anger onto himself. What a cowardly bully!

However, he would be mistaken if he thought he was an easy target.

Just then, Freya suddenly leaned closer, lowered her voice, and whispered in a voice only the three goddesses and Ling Feng could hear, "Long Fei, it seems you're in for a lot of trouble in the future!"

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Ling Feng frowned slightly.

"I was just trying to help you and Liyue!"

Freya shrugged. "Ares was originally in cahoots with Ryuzawa Shuichi. Do you think he's just trying to team up with us this time? He probably wants to use this opportunity to test Liyue's true strength. And by the way, to put you down and embarrass you."

“So that means…” Ling Feng was incredibly clever and immediately realized, “He knows the cause of Ryuzawa Hideichi’s death?”

"He may not know the specific details, but he probably thinks that you, Sariel, and Liyue teamed up to defeat Ryuzawa Shuichi. He probably believes that Ryuzawa Shuichi lost to Liyue mainly because of Sariel's betrayal."

After a pause, Freya looked at Long Ze Liyue and continued, "Liyue, after you inherit the throne, no one will be able to challenge you for a year. But after a year, Ares will probably target you and even take the opportunity to kill you! Although his plan to investigate your strength failed this time, it has transferred most of his hatred to Long Fei."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking utterly helpless.

"So if you want to solve this problem..."

Freya's eyes flashed with a cold light. "A roundabout star path, that could be an opportunity! What's that saying again? Oh, I think it's... 'Strike first, strike hard'!"

Ling Feng's gaze sharpened. This goddess of wisdom was quite ruthless!
and many more!

Is she using someone else to do her dirty work?

Could it be that there are different factions within the clergy?

And yet, he found himself inexplicably embroiled in the factional infighting within the clergy.
Never mind...

Ling Feng shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore.

"Then it's settled! Long Fei, wait for our news after the Treasure Battle Tournament."

After Freya left those words, three beams of divine light shot into the sky once more, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Only after the goddesses had completely disappeared did the frozen, silent space begin to "boil" again.

"Brother Fei! You're awesome!"

Serik's loud voice was the first to break the silence.

He flew over excitedly and slapped Ling Feng on the shoulder: "The three goddesses personally invited you! You are the first person in the Wuzuo Jingyu region to do so since its founding!"

Ling Feng gave a bitter smile: "Good fortune may be lurking within misfortune..."

"What good fortune or misfortune!"

Serik's eyes widened. "Being able to follow three goddesses, even if it's dangerous, is still a chance for riches! Brother Fei, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"

Ling Feng could only smile bitterly to himself. He had only infiltrated Sky City to investigate Yu Bingqing's whereabouts, but two months had passed without any progress, and it seemed that he had even gotten caught up in the factional struggle within the Divine Office.

However, the Clergy Academy is not a united front, which is good news for Ling Feng!

In the following period, Lingfeng's Temple No. 27 began to receive a large number of visitors again.

However, perhaps because of Ares, or perhaps because of the person behind Ares, few of the first-level clergy before the 20th dared to befriend Ling Feng.

After wasting most of the day, Ling Feng finally saw off the last group of visitors and immediately took out his communicator and activated the rune mark representing Temple No. 79.

After a brief flash of light and shadow, Hawkins' large face, filled with a fawning smile yet tinged with unease, appeared on the screen.

"Lord Long Fei!"

Hawkins' tone was more enthusiastic than ever before, even bordering on greasy flattery, "Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir! The three great gods have personally extended an invitation, this is an unprecedented honor for our Wuzuo Jingyu! I have long seen that you, sir, are destined for greatness, a dragon among men, who is bound to rise to the top!"

He showered Ling Feng with flattery, using a string of clever phrases that made Ling Feng's scalp tingle...

"Old Jin!"

Ling Feng quickly interrupted, saying, "There's no need for these formalities. As for the invitation I gave you to explore the star path together..."

Hawkins quickly chuckled and said, "I know! Now that you already have three Divine Throne Lords as your teammates, how could I possibly have the honor of teaming up with you? You can rest assured. It was my hesitation before that caused me to miss this great opportunity. Alas, I am not fortunate enough to have such an opportunity!"

If Hawkins regrets it, then he definitely does.

If he had accepted Ling Feng's invitation to team up earlier, he might have had a chance to join the goddesses' team.

It's too late to say anything now.

However, he was not too discouraged, as he knew his own limitations.

Even if he teams up with a goddess, he won't gain much benefit.

For him, clinging tightly to "Long Fei's" coattails in the future would be most advantageous.

"In any case, this time I owe you one."

Ling Feng smiled and said, "There are a few things I hope Lao Jin can help me with."

As Ling Feng spoke, he waved the exquisitely crafted booklet in his hand, "Among the treasures you gave me before, I have taken a fancy to a few items, and I would appreciate it if you could mediate between them."

"Look at what you're saying! Lord Longfei, your affairs are my affairs!"

Hawkins pounded his chest so hard it shook, his fat jiggling. "Which ones? Just tell me! I'll risk all my pride to negotiate the lowest price for you, sir! Anyone who doesn't give me face is disrespecting Hawkins!"

"Thank you very much!"

Ling Feng nodded, then reported the treasures he had marked to Hawkins.

Hawkins nodded repeatedly, "Is that all? Good, I'll get it ready for you right away!"

As he was about to hang up the communicator, Ling Feng continued, "There's one more thing..."

"Please speak, sir!"

"Within the Silent Realm, it seems most of the First-Rank Clerics are quite wary of Ares, and behind Ares..."

Ling Feng paused deliberately, his gaze fixed on Hawkins, as if observing his expression.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ling Feng's question, Hawkins' expression changed, and he quickly coughed a few times, saying, "Lord Long Fei, I am but a humble person and dare not say much. However, to put it bluntly, it's all about the power struggle between those big shots..."

He pointed upwards and said cautiously, "I'm just a businessman. Lord Long Fei, you're in the eye of the storm, so you must be careful." (End of Chapter)
