Chapter 2665 - 2664: Epiphany
Currently, due to the limitations on his power, Ling Feng can’t even utilize a fraction of the Chaos Sword’s original power.
Yet he knows this is an incredibly powerful weapon; a divine weapon extending from the cosmos, whose former owner has vanished but was immensely strong. Ling Feng suspects its power might even rival that of the Lord of the Three Realms.
Enhancing all of his power in a short time to clash head-on against the pressure of the Lord of the Three Realms is certainly unrealistic. However, if Ling Feng can harness the Chaos Sword, unleashing even a fraction of its strength, he might easily deal with those visitors from the Three Realms.
There’s even the possibility that he’ll gain the strength that the Lord of the Three Realms must acknowledge. Before destroying Earth and the Xuanxu Realm, the Lord of the Three Realms would have to seriously reconsider.
Selfishly speaking, if Ling Feng masters the Chaos Sword, then he at least has the ability to protect himself.
He may not be able to save others’ lives, but he can ensure keeping his own life safe.
After all, life is the greatest asset. Ling Feng doesn’t possess such grand love, and of course, he must first ensure he doesn’t die, escaping from the attacks of the Lord of the Three Realms.
Of course, these are relatively dark thoughts on the edge. Right now, what Ling Feng truly needs to consider is how he can unleash the Chaos Sword’s original power.
As he walked and pondered, Ling Feng unknowingly arrived within the Royal City and happened to walk by the shop where he once intervened and helped.
A familiar figure was busy in front of the shop, greeting customers.
Ling Feng squinted his eyes slightly; wasn’t this the girl from before—Little Chen?
Ling Feng walked into the shop, and upon seeing her benefactor, Little Chen happily exclaimed, "Benefactor, why have you come? Are you here to eat? I’ll make something for you right away."
Ling Feng smiled and shook his head, somewhat puzzled as he asked, "Why open again so quickly? Didn’t I say your father should rest for a few days?"
Little Chen waved her hand, saying, "Little Chen remembers the benefactor’s words. My father is resting at home now. Although his injuries aren’t serious anymore, I’m still afraid of him being so busy again, let alone cooking."
"Then what’s this?"
"Haha, today it’s just me alone in the shop."
"Isn’t it okay to take a few days off? You won’t lose much money this way. You could completely wait until your father fully recovers to reopen the shop," Ling Feng was somewhat puzzled, "Or is it your father’s intention, asking you to continue working?" Ling Feng’s expression turned a bit grim.
If there really is such a father, then Ling Feng must intervene again.
"Ah, no, no, it’s not. It’s me who wanted to open the shop. I begged my father for a long time before he agreed."
"Because my mother is ill and it requires a lot of money for her treatment. My father wakes up early and works late every day just to earn more money for my mother’s treatment."
"And the rent of this shop isn’t cheap. If I don’t open for several days, the rent would be wasted, and regular customers would be upset without a place to eat, and wouldn’t come next time."
Hearing Little Chen’s explanation, Ling Feng suddenly realized that he hasn’t encountered such a financially strained family for a long time. Some people truly have to be so tight about money that they count their daily rent.
And the money saved from scrimping is lifesaving money!
"How about this, close the shop for now, take me to your home, I’ll take a look at your mother’s illness."
"Ah?" Little Chen was apprehensive. Since the time Ling Feng made the guard army kneel, Little Chen knew the man in front of her was definitely a big figure. After inquiring, she found out.
Ling Feng turns out to be equal in status to the Queen, a King who stands beside.
"There’s no need, I know you’re probably very busy, so you don’t need to trouble yourself more!" Little Chen quickly waved her hand.
However, Ling Feng "firmly" insisted, "It’s alright, my matters aren’t very urgent right now. Just take me to your home first. You saw my medical skills that day too, saving someone is not a big deal for me."
"But for your mother, it’s a major issue concerning life, so you need not be polite!"
Little Chen couldn’t resist Ling Feng’s determination and had to close the shop and take Ling Feng to her home.
...
After examining the woman lying on the bed for a while, Ling Feng shook his head and said, "It’s not a serious illness, merely some issues with internal organs, plus consuming unsuitable food, and catching a cold, creating too much burden on the liver."
"Unable to smoothly eliminate accumulated toxins within the body, leading to such weakness."
"I will give your mother some medicine now and restore her liver to normal. After a few days of rest, she will recover."
Ling Feng took out a red elixir from his bosom and smoothly fed it to the woman, covering her abdomen with the green radiance in his hand, healing her liver.
After quite some time, Ling Feng withdrew the radiance, exhaling deeply, "That should do it, after a few more days of rest, everything will..."
"Thump!" Little Chen knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing, "Thank you, sir, for your benevolent assistance, thank you for saving my father and mother!"
She continued to kowtow until her forehead was red and swollen.
Ling Feng immediately pulled her up, somewhat "displeased" saying, "What are you doing? I am the King who stands beside in the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, you are also considered my subjects. Seeing my subjects suffering and not doing something useful,"
"How still can I be called the king who stands beside?"

"So you need not be polite! Quickly rise!"
Little Chen wept as she watched her mother’s complexion change from sallow to rosy and felt a surge of gratitude towards Ling Feng, insisting on keeping him for a meal at her home.
Ling Feng also couldn’t resist Little Chen’s determination, and since he had no clues about controlling the Chaos Sword, he agreed to stay for the meal.
"Benefactor, you must stay for a meal. I’m really good at cooking porridge, everyone says it tastes great, even my father thinks it’s the tops!"
"Great, then I really am blessed."
Ling Feng watched Little Chen laboriously lift a wooden bucket full of water and returning. He stood up trying to help her, but Little Chen directly stopped him, smiling and said:
"Benefactor, you just sit down, you are a guest and my benefactor, inviting you for a meal shouldn’t require you to work,"
Ling Feng slightly smiled and had to give up.
"Moreover, it’s about role and capability. I only know how to cook, so I do rough work. You, benefactor, are a powerful immortal, how could you do things unworthy of your identity and ability?"
"Just like my father used to say, a wooden bucket can only hold as much water as its size allows. The bucket I’m using to wash rice and vegetables certainly wouldn’t hold a river?"
Little Chen’s words echoed verbatim into Ling Feng’s ears, his smile froze.
Suddenly, a line of thought struck like lightning through Ling Feng’s mind.
Indeed!
One should do things according to their capability!
The size of the bucket defines how much water it can hold!
How could Ling Feng not have thought of such a simple philosophy? Isn’t this just like his relationship with the Chaos Sword?
The Chaos Sword itself spans hundreds of kilometers, while Ling Feng is merely a normal human physique; how could he possibly grasp such a divine weapon? How could he unleash its true power?
Ling Feng burst into laughter, finally understanding!
The Chaos Sword is a giant’s weapon, meant to be used by a giant. Only by transforming into a giant’s body,
can he truly wield the Chaos Sword!
