Chapter 1876: Chapter 1873: Reunion with the Mad Doctor
The news of the first Martial Arts Conference in the Ancient Ruins quickly spread throughout the entire area. Countless experts eagerly prepared to make their mark. Among them were many loose cultivators, as well as people from various other major forces.
But all this was not important in Ling Fengās eyes. Ten days before the appointed date with Heavenās Gate, the Cheng family finally perfected a replica of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture. From its appearance and aura, it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
However, hoping to gain any insights from this fake was nothing but wishful thinking.
"Letās hope it can fool the people of Heavenās Gate!" Ling Feng thought silently as he looked at the Wordless Heavenly Scripture exuding a mysterious aura in his hand.
"By the way, how is Xueer doing now?" Ling Feng turned and asked.
The Great Elder replied, "Miss Xueerās condition is relatively stable, but the layer of glow on her body surface hasnāt diminished at all. Recently, itās become even more intense. Iām worried..."
Ling Feng shook his head and said, "Donāt worry, that should be the normal reaction of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture! The actual Wordless Heavenly Scripture is inside Xueer, and only a few of us core members know this. No leaks of this information must occur."
"I understand that clearly!" The Great Elder nodded, "Family Head, now that the fake Wordless Heavenly Scripture is complete, when should I go to Heavenās Gate to see if I can exchange it for the Old Family Head?"
Ling Feng shook his head and said, "Great Elder, these are turbulent times. The Cheng family canāt be without you to hold the fort. If anything happened to you at Heavenās Gate, the Cheng family would truly be leaderless!"
"But this matter is extraordinary. If I donāt handle it personally..." The Great Elder insisted.
Ling Feng pointed to his nose, "What? Canāt I go? Does the Great Elder not trust me?"
The Great Elder was greatly shocked, "This is definitely not acceptable! Heavenās Gate is fraught with dangers, and you are the new Family Head of the Cheng family. If something goes wrong..."
Ling Feng waved his hand, interrupting the Great Elder, "No problem. Although Heavenās Gate is a dragonās den and tigerās lair, itās not a place of certain death. As long as they canāt confirm the authenticity of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, they wonāt act against me for the time being!"
"Moreover..." A cold gleam flashed deep in Ling Fengās eyes, "I have an unavoidable reason to go."
After a round of argument, the Great Elder eventually compromised with Ling Feng, agreeing to let Ling Feng take the Wordless Heavenly Scripture to Heavenās Gate to exchange for the Old Family Head.
Meanwhile, in the Ancient Ruins, two major events related to Heavenās Gate occurred. One was Heavenās Gateās frenzied plundering of Star Core Power, leading to the destruction of over a hundred small planets. This caused distress among the people of other small planets, prompting them to seek protection from neighboring major forces, which led to oligarchization tendencies in the Ancient Ruins.
The second was Heavenās Gateās formal declaration of war against all forces in the Ancient Ruins, with the decisive battle set for six months later. At that time, Heavenās Gate, the Ximen Family, and the Storm Sect would engage in an earth-shattering battle!
Heavenās Gateās ambition was openly revealed, alarming many people. It made no attempt to conceal its ambition, indicating its full confidence in its strength. Just how powerful were they?
On his way to Heavenās Gate, Ling Feng did not waste time. Instead, he continuously refined the Avatar Embryo day and night, constantly comprehending various Powers of Laws within the embryo.
After so long, Ling Feng had refined most of it. In a little more time, once completely refined, Ling Feng was confident in directly breaking through to the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm in cultivation.
"Family Head, we are one day away from entering Heavenās Gateās territory!" Soon, the airship Ling Feng was on spent seven days and was finally nearing Heavenās Gateās domain.
"Mad Doctor! Iāve finally waited for you!" Ling Feng stood at the front of the airship, staring into the starlit sky, murmuring to himself.
Heavenās Gate was powerful, and now the Mad Doctor had become its Sect Leader! Though Ling Feng did not know what happened in between, now with his enemy before him, Ling Feng couldnāt ignore it!
Although it wasnāt the best opportunity for revenge, Ling Feng still wanted to see it for himself. Only by confirming this matter would he be at ease.
As for whether there would be danger, Ling Feng no longer considered it.
However... Ling Feng checked his voice transmission jade token, still without any news from the Witch.
"Women are such liars, didnāt she say I should send a message if I encounter danger?" Ling Feng sighed. If he could contact the Witch, there would be some assurance in this journey.
...
"Master, someone from the Cheng family has arrived!" The Heavenās Gate base received news of Ling Fengās arrival.
"Oh? Someone from the Cheng family? It seems they want to use the Wordless Heavenly Scripture to exchange for the Cheng Family Head. Theyāve made a wise choice!" The Heavenās Gate Master smiled, "Who has come?"
"The new Family Head of the Cheng family, Ling Feng!"
"Ling Feng?" The Heavenās Gate Master narrowed his eyes, "Ling Feng? Could it be you, my most satisfactory creation? What a pity, youāre still too weak. Otherwise, Iād love to have another playtime."
"Come on, letās go see the Cheng familyās new Family Head!" The Heavenās Gate Master said lightly.
Boom! The massive airship slowly landed, and Ling Feng led the Cheng family members out of the airship.
In an instant, hundreds of powerful auras locked onto Ling Feng, the overwhelming pressure almost crushed him in an instant.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Ling Fengās expression changed slightly, then he straightened his back and walked forward calmly.
"So many experts!" Ling Feng felt a slight heaviness in his heart, knowing that Heavenās Gateās strength was indeed superior to the Cheng familyās.
"It really is you, my dear Ling Feng!" At this moment, a familiar voice came, "After so long, youāve still found me. Are you going to draw your longsword and duel with me next?"

Heavenās Gate Master! Ling Feng looked up at the group of people coming toward him and focused his gaze on the one at the very front. As expected, it was the Mad Doctor.
Ling Fengās eyes narrowed, "So it really is you!"
"Yes, me! Surprised?" The Mad Doctor looked at Ling Feng with great interest, as if expecting to see shock or fear on Ling Fengās face.
But Ling Feng was very calm, so calm it was somewhat incredible. The Mad Doctor also frowned slightly; Ling Fengās reaction was not within his expectations.
"Iām here to exchange for the Cheng Family Head!" Ling Feng said flatly, then flipped his hand, revealing a stone box, "Inside here is the Wordless Heavenly Scripture you want!"
The Mad Doctor said playfully, "Wordless Heavenly Scripture? Are you sure thereās really a Wordless Heavenly Scripture in this box?"
