I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 669 669: Dean Kong: Do You Know How Long I've Waited for Today?

"Dean, the Qiankun Divine King has come back!"

A disciple hurried into the dean's courtyard and shared this update with Dean Kong.

"Oh."

Dean Kong's eyes brightened at the news. He rose swiftly and headed quickly to the entrance.

Upon reaching the gate and spotting Chu Feng, a joyful grin spread across his face: "Chu Feng, you rascal have at last returned."

Chu Feng replied with a grin: "I've made Sir wait."

"Not at all, not at all. The moment is perfect."

Dean Kong expressed with thrilled enthusiasm. He had anticipated this occasion for ages. Soon, he would ascend to Divine King status.

The pair strolled into the courtyard, conversing merrily. Shortly after, Dean Kong sent away the servants and gazed at Chu Feng expectantly.

"Dean, here's your Supreme Dao Fruit Pill."

Chu Feng stated while passing a tiny porcelain vial.

Hoo...

The dean exhaled deeply. He took the vial with care, uncorked it, and peered within.

Observing the pill's rhythmic glow from the medicine, his expression filled with rapturous delight. He stored the vial in his ring and declared in a highly elated voice: "Little Feng, this old fellow truly needs to express deep gratitude to you now. Tell me, what would you like?"

Chu Feng dismissed it with a wave: "Sir overstates it. I simply whipped up some pills on a whim."

"You scamp, do you realize that pretending humility is just boasting?"

Dean Kong shot Chu Feng an irritated glare. This lad was growing ever more exasperating. Regrettably, as a Divine King now, he couldn't discipline him.

"Hehe."

Chu Feng laughed lightly: "I'm only aiming to keep you free from any burden."

"..."

Dean Kong saw that these remarks were entirely reasonable. He sighed in resignation, waving his hand: "Never mind, this old man can't argue with you. Let me know when you decide on something."

"Incidentally, Sir, there's something I'd like to ask about."

Chu Feng dropped his amusement and bowed politely to inquire.

"Go ahead, I'm listening."

Dean Kong urged, noting how seldom this youth appeared so earnest.

"It's like this..."

Chu Feng narrated the happenings at the Holy Court.

Once Dean Kong heard it all, he remarked: "You rascal have no idea of your achievement. A single Supreme Dao Fruit Pill matches gaining one Divine Spark fragment in the Saint Realm."

He went on: "The purpose for this old man in reaching the Divine King Realm with nine hundred and ninety-nine strands of Dao Rhyme is to form a full Divine Spark at breakthrough. That additional fragment paves the way for another Divine Spark."

"Within our Wendao Academy, actually across the Ten Great Holy Lands, attaining Divine King at nine hundred and ninety-nine strands of Dao Rhyme stands as the bare minimum."

He elaborated: "Yet, grasping nine hundred and ninety-nine strands of Dao Rhyme proves immensely challenging. Even a genius like this old man took endless effort. Countless Saints never hit that mark in their lives."

"The Supreme Dao Fruit Pill, however, boosts Dao Rhyme by ninety-nine strands instantly. It's genuinely a top-tier supreme treasure."

He noted further: "Not just in our Wendao Academy, but throughout other Holy Lands, it's exceptionally scarce. Your skill ensures you'll be the fresh darling of our Wendao Academy."

"So that explains it."

Chu Feng murmured, then pressed on: "Sir, once one becomes a Divine King, are there truly no pills for aiding cultivation?"

"Essentially, no pills exist for Divine King Realm cultivation aid. Only healing ones are available."

He clarified: "After all, Divine King Realm and Divine Emperor Realm differ vastly, though no barrier separates Divine King from Divine Emperor."

He proceeded: "With merely one Divine Spark, breakthrough to Divine Emperor Realm remains possible. But post-breakthrough to Divine Emperor, generating a second Divine Spark becomes impossible."

"Why so?"

Chu Feng questioned with interest.

Dean Kong shook his head: "This old man doesn't grasp the reason either. Still, I've learned that beyond the Nine Heavens, methods exist for Divine Emperor Realm experts to forge new Divine Sparks."

He appended: "Yet a Divine Emperor with just one True God Totem can't rise to the Heavenly Realm."

Chu Feng inquired: "Can Divine Emperors ascend to the Heavenly Realm too?"

Dean Kong affirmed: "Yes, but they require summons from the Upper Realm. A Divine Emperor from our Wendao Sect, defeated in the Heavenly Mandate contest, was called up by the Upper Realm."

He wrapped up: "Reportedly, he seized the Heavenly Mandate above the Nine Heavens and emerged as a fresh Immortal Emperor."

"Many thanks, Sir, for clearing my doubts. This disciple bids farewell now."

Chu Feng concluded and departed.

Dean Kong observed Chu Feng's receding form and pondered: This youth grows ever more baffling. Who knows how grand his path will become?

Leaving the dean's courtyard, Chu Feng headed back to Miaomiao Mountain. Though no longer its master, his residence remained intact.

Upon arriving home, Chu Yuzhi and Chu Yingjin promptly approached to welcome him.

"Father, you've returned."

"Mm."

Chu Feng acknowledged, seeing the hopeful looks on the two girls' faces. They resembled kids awaiting presents upon his homecoming.

Noticing their expressions, he teased: "You two are grown now, yet still expect gifts from your father daily?"

Chu Yuzhi whined playfully: "No matter our age, we remain Father's daughters."

"Gifts exist, but you can't have them yet. I'll hand them to your mothers first. Once you reach Saint level, fresh ones will come your way."

Chu Feng smiled as he said.

"Oh."

The girls replied dejectedly, then walked off.

Chu Feng sought out Bing Yan next and gave her a Dao Fruit Pill: "Bing Yan, this Supreme Dao Fruit Pill is for you. Consume it when ready. It adds ninety-nine strands to your Dao Rhyme."

Astonishment crossed Bing Yan's features at the words. She whispered: "Husband, you managed it?"

"Yes."

Chu Feng hesitated briefly, then added: "I'll take the Dao Fruit Pill to Miaoyu now. We'll unite this evening."

Bing Yan understood his implication of "unite." She murmured softly: "Then we'll go as one."

"Very well."

Before long, the pair arrived at Yunluo Island. Princess Miaoyu's eyes widened in wonder at the Dao Fruit Pill in Chu Feng's grasp.

Smiling, she accepted the pill and ordered her attendants to set a feast.

As night descended, the trio commenced joint cultivation.

...

Time passed swiftly.

Ten more years elapsed. Chu Feng, seeing his respite nearing its close, contemplated prolonging his break.

One crisp morning, vital intelligence reached Chu Feng. The elder dean had achieved Divine King rank. Wendao Academy would soon appoint a successor dean.

Zhen Divine King messaged him to visit the Holy Court. As Chu Feng readied to depart, a system alert rang in his thoughts.

"Host's disciple Xiao Chen's Dao Rhyme rose by ninety-nine. Host rewarded with nine hundred and ninety Dao Rhyme."

"Host's disciple Cao Youqian's Dao Rhyme rose by ninety-nine. Host rewarded with nine hundred and ninety Dao Rhyme."

At this announcement, Chu Feng's lips curved upward faintly. He mused: "These two lads timed their breakthroughs perfectly. They've granted this lord two extra Divine Sparks, plus a candidate for the new dean at Wendao Academy."
