Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2078

These inscriptions seemed to be the exit, but in truth, if anyone were to pass through, they would be teleported to any location in Xuanjiang City.

Otherwise, if he had encountered these people when he was injured and unconscious, he would not have been able to survive.

“Just that … given how well-hidden this place is, other than the blood of Kong Shi and mine, even the Semi-Divinities wouldn’t be able to find it. Just who is he guarding against?”

Zhang Xuan was getting more and more confused.

In terms of how well-hidden the passageway was, it was definitely one of the best even in the Azure. The reason why Kong Shi had left it behind was because he didn’t want anyone to notice it.

Since that was the case, why would the Kong Shi of the Azure send someone to guard the passageway? It was as if he didn’t harbor the slightest bit of goodwill toward the people of the Master Teacher Continent.

More importantly, did he not know what the formation inscriptions were, or did he not know that those who entered the passageway would be teleported randomly?

“Perhaps what Vicious said is true … This is a fake Kong Shi!”

He had been a little doubtful about what Vicious had said previously, but now, he felt that it made sense.

If that was true, there was no way he would know what was going on in the passageway that he had left behind. Unless … he had lost his memories, just like Little Chick.

Speaking of Little Chick, Zhang Xuan sighed helplessly. He had fed it the unique aura on the Azure Bridge, but it was still unable to achieve a breakthrough to the Semi-Divinity realm.

He had tried several hundred different methods, but he still had no idea how that fellow could achieve a breakthrough.

“I’ll suppress my cultivation to Ancient Sage 4-dan and enter!”

After confirming that the passageway was still intact, Zhang Xuan activated his disguise token and suppressed his cultivation.

The limit of the Master Teacher Continent was Ancient Sage 4-dan. If it had been any other Semi-Divinity or High Immortal, even if they suppressed their cultivation, they would still be repelled by the world. However, Zhang Xuan and Wu Chen had the disguise token and method that Lozosy had given them. By disguising themselves as Ancient Sage 4-dan, even the heavens of the Master Teacher Continent wouldn’t be able to see through them.

This was how Lozosy had managed to enter the Master Teacher Continent back then. However, in order to obtain the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, she had leaked her aura and been expelled from the Master Teacher Continent by the heavens.

As soon as Zhang Xuan entered the spatial passageway, he saw spatial turbulence wreaking havoc everywhere. All sorts of spatial storms assaulted him, threatening to tear him to shreds.

If it had been a true Ancient Sage 4-dan cultivator in their place, their consciousness would have already been destroyed in an instant, and they would have fallen unconscious. However, the two of them were among the top experts in the Azure. Even though they had suppressed their cultivation, they were still able to withstand the assault of the storm with ease.

Previously, it had taken them half a month to complete the passage, but now, it took them less than two hours to reach the end.

A huge coffin floated quietly in the air, sealing off the space around it. It was like a single entity, making it impossible to open.

His finger tapped lightly.

After the formation was broken, Zhang Xuan and Wu Chen came out.

The sun shone brightly in the sky, bringing with it the familiar aura of the Master Teacher Continent.

“Zhang Shi …”

Barely after Zhang Xuan settled down, he heard a voice calling out to him, and Ancient Sage Yan Qing walked over.

It had been more than a year since they last met, and Zhang Xuan’s cultivation had improved significantly. From the looks of it, he was no longer as weak as before.

“Un.” Zhang Xuan nodded. He turned his gaze to the side and saw a person in the midst of a ritual. Blazing flames were burning on the altar, emanating a sinister glow. The aura that they had sensed earlier was coming from that person.

“Who is that person? Where’s Liu Yang? ”

Zhang Xuan frowned.

Wasn’t the Otherworldly Demonic Emperor his student, Liu Yang? Why would an Otherworldly Demon whom he did not recognize suddenly appear here?

“That’s the newly-appointed Otherworldly Demonic Emperor, Chen Xiao! He’s Liu Yang’s direct disciple! ”

Ancient Sage Yan Qing replied.

“Liu Yang’s direct disciple? You mean my grandstudent? “Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

He was only in his early twenties, and he was still accepting disciples. Who could have thought that he would already have a grandstudent?

“That’s right …” Ancient Sage Yan Qing nodded.

“If Chen Xiao has become the Otherworldly Demonic Emperor, where’s Liu Yang? Where are Kong Shiyao, Zhao Ya, and the others? “Zhang Xuan was perplexed.

He had instructed First Elder Zhao Yue to relay a message to him, and while it did not explicitly state that he was going to descend to the Azure, as a direct disciple, he should have been curious as to why he was nowhere to be seen.

“Reporting to Zhang shi, your nine direct disciples have already followed the path that you took three months ago to head to the Azure,” Zhang Xuan said.

Ancient Sage Yan Qing said with a bitter smile.

“They’ve gone to the Azure as well?” Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

Three months ago, which was around ninety days, or roughly nine days in the Azure … Back then, he was still in the Sea of Exiled Stars, grooming Elder Hong Wu and the others.

“I should head up to look for them …”

Knowing that his direct disciples had probably already reached Xuanjiang City or somewhere else, Zhang Xuan decided not to dwell on the matter any longer. Just as he was about to continue speaking, two figures suddenly flew in his direction.

They were his parents, the Xingmeng Sword Saints!

“Xuan-er …”

Sword Saint Meng’s eyes reddened in agitation. “It’s good that you’re fine …”

Ever since her son had left the Azure, there had not been a single day that she did not worry about him. For the past year or so, she had been in agony every single day. Now that her son was safe and sound, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Sensing the sincerity in the other party’s voice, Zhang Xuan replied with a smile, “Mother, Father, I’m fine …”

At this moment, his parents had also achieved a breakthrough in their cultivation, reaching Ancient Sage 4-dan pinnacle.

After asking around about Mingshi Tang, he learned that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had been living peacefully with mankind. Under Liu Yang’s control, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had been able to live peacefully with mankind.

As the mercury-like zhenqi became usable, mankind grew stronger and stronger. The chances of war breaking out in the Azure would also become smaller and smaller.

Arriving at the main hall where the Hundred Schools of Philosophers hosted their guests, Zhang Xuan saw a bunch of familiar faces — the head of the Luo Clan, the head of the Jiang Clan, Mingshi Tang, and Yang Xuan …

Just like the Xingmeng Sword Saints, their cultivation was also at Ancient Sage 4-dan. If the warriors of the Ethereal Hall were to enter the Azure through the spatial passageway once more, there was a good chance that they would be killed on the spot.

“Zhang Xuan, did you see my younger sister in the Azure?”

After chatting for a while, Luo Xuanqing walked up to Zhang Xuan worriedly.

“Your younger sister?” Zhang Xuan was taken aback. “Qiqi? Isn’t she on the Master Teacher Continent?”

Back when he had left the Azure, he had been alone. Furthermore, despite being in the Azure for so long, he had not seen Luo Qiqi at all.

“A year ago, shortly after you left, she left. She said that she wanted to look for you,” Luo Xuanqing replied.

“Look for me? Did she use the spatial passageway as well? ”

Zhang Xuan frowned.

“That’s not it. She didn’t use the spatial passageway. Instead, she used the Dimension Silencer to break through the spatial restrictions of the Master Teacher Continent,” Luo Xuanqing replied.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

With his current cultivation, he could easily break through the spatial restrictions of the Master Teacher Continent and return to the Azure. As such, he would not need to use the spatial passageway to return to the Master Teacher Continent.

However, a year ago, no matter how powerful Luo Qiqi’s cultivation was, she was only at Ancient Sage 4-dan. How could she possibly break through the spatial restrictions of the Master Teacher Continent?

“Do you know why she named herself Qiqi and why our Luo Clan dotes on her so much?”

Luo Xuanqing asked with a shake of his head.

Knowing that there was a huge gap between the two of them, Luo Xuanqing no longer harbored any desire to compete with Luo Qiqi. All he could hope for was for the young man before him to take care of his younger sister and bring her back.

“Isn’t she called Qiqi because she has six elder brothers?” Zhang Xuan seemed to have heard of it before.

“That’s right. She does have six elder brothers, and I’m ranked sixth. However, all five of my elder brothers have passed away. My father is the head of the Luo Clan, and given the standing of the Luo Clan on the Master Teacher Continent, don’t you find it strange that all five of my elder brothers have passed away? ”

Luo Xuanqing asked.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

He had been curious about the matter back then, but he did not think too much into it. Now that he thought about it, it did seem to be the case.

Given the standing and strength of the Luo Clan on the Master Teacher Continent, even if the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had launched a sneak attack on the Luo Clan, there was no way they could have killed all five of their clan head’s sons!

“It’s because of the Dimension Silencer!”

Luo Xuanqing said. “This artifact was obtained by our ancestor, and it possesses immense power. My younger sister was able to assimilate it as soon as she was born, and it’s not because of her purest bloodline but because of her five elder brothers!

“Back then, something happened to the Dimension Silencer, and it was on the verge of tearing through space and escaping. Once it did, the Luo Clan would surely fall from the ranks of the Three Premier Clans. In order to save the Luo Clan from destruction, my five elder brothers fed it with their blood essence and even sacrificed their lives to stabilize it. It was only then that the Dimension Silencer was left behind, and the spirit within it gradually awakened … and that’s Qiqi! ”

“Awakened spirit? You mean to say that … Qiqi is the spirit of the Dimension Silencer? ”

Zhang Xuan’s eyes narrowed in astonishment.

“The spirit entered my mother’s womb, and that’s how Qiqi was born. It’s understandable for me to say that she’s the spirit of the Dimension Silencer, but it’s also understandable for me to say that she’s my younger sister. After all, her flesh and blood are bestowed upon her by the Luo Clan,” Luo Xuanqing said.

Zhang Xuan nodded in response.

He had seen countless artifacts, and he had tamed at least eight thousand of them. Even if they were Semi-Divinity artifacts, their spirits were still bound to their original bodies.

For the spirit of the Dimension Silencer to be able to leave its original body and reincarnate into a human … this was truly inconceivable!

“How did she tear through space? What made you think that she had gone to the Azure? ”

Zhang Xuan asked.

“After you left, her will to look for you grew stronger and stronger. In response to her will, the Dimension Silencer released a powerful burst of energy. It seemed to have broken through the bottleneck of Ancient Sage 4-dan, reaching an unfathomable realm. Following which, the space of the Master Teacher Continent began rejecting her, and she was forced out of the Dimension Silencer!”

Luo Xuanqing pondered for a moment before continuing. “Countless experts of our Luo Clan tried their best, but they were unable to stop her.”

Zhang Xuan fell silent.

This was similar to when Lozosy left the Master Teacher Continent. Both of them were forcefully pushed out of the Master Teacher Continent, as if a wooden stick floating in water.

No matter how much strength one exerted, as long as one released their grip, they would still float to the surface.

From the looks of it, it seemed like Luo Xuanqing had been forced to the Azure.

“Alright, I’ll look into the matter once I return to the Azure. If I find anything, I’ll have Starchaser Palace inform the Otherworldly Demonic Sovereign and have him relay the news to you.”

Zhang Xuan nodded.
