Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2084

“There’s no danger?”

An identical figure appeared before Zhang Xuan’s clone.

He had thought that he would be surrounded by countless Semi-Divinities, but to his surprise, there was not a single person in sight.

“But there’s something weird about this place!”

The more empty it seemed, the more unnerving it felt.

Zhang Xuan leaped down from the altar and was just about to wait for Kui Xiao and the others to arrive when he suddenly felt his heart clenching. He hurriedly reached out to grab the altar.

But before his hand could come into contact with the altar, a burst of sword qi suddenly burst forth from the ground.

Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!

Unable to withstand the might of the sword qi, the altar shattered into several pieces.

Due to the destruction of the altar, the flickering light came to a halt, and the spatial gate vanished.

Pu!

On the other hand, Wu Chen spurted a mouthful of blood. His face turned sallow, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

“How is it?”

Seeing Zhang Xuan’s state, Kui Xiao and the others hurriedly turned to him.

“Someone destroyed the altar and severed the connection. Zhang Shi … won’t be able to return,” Wu Chen said with a pale face.

“Won’t be able to return?”

Everyone was stunned.

“There’s only one altar in Starchaser Palace,” Wu Chen said. “Now that the altar has been destroyed, the passageway leading to the Hall of Gods has been severed as well. Even if we want to save him, we won’t be able to do so. Similarly, the other party won’t be able to return through the passageway either …”

“This …”

Everyone trembled uncontrollably.

The eyes of Zhao Ya and the others reddened in agitation.

Won’t our teacher be in danger if he can’t return?

It’s all our fault for not being strong enough. Otherwise, our teacher wouldn’t have been in such danger!

We have to raise our cultivation as soon as possible …

The others gritted their teeth as determination surfaced in their eyes.

…

Looking at the shattered altar before him, Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly.

It was not that he was too slow, but that the other party had already set up a formation beneath the altar. As soon as he arrived, the formation would activate and destroy itself, destroying all paths of retreat.

In other words, no matter what kind of trap the other party set up, he would have to face it alone.

“Didn’t you want my Library of Heaven’s Path? Without the altar, how are you going to conduct the ritual? ”

Driving his state of mind, Zhang Xuan scanned the surroundings and said with a deep voice.

The reason why the other party had sent Fu Chenzi and the others to capture Palace Master Du Qingyuan was because of this artifact. After plotting for so long, they had actually destroyed it at this very moment.

Could it be that the other party no longer wanted his library?

The voice reverberated in the passageway, flowing in all directions. After waiting for a while, there was no response.

It was as if Kong Shi wasn’t here at all. It was as if he was the only life here, and there was no one else.

“I can only go forward …”

Zhang Xuan had no idea what the other party was up to, nor what his motive was. He felt as if he was inviting Zhang Xuan into a trap, but he had no choice but to do so. Frowning, Zhang Xuan decided to continue forward.

The clone followed closely behind.

The passageway wasn’t long, so they didn’t have to walk too far before a majestic hall appeared before them.

Unlike the Hall of Gods that Zhang Xuan had seen before, this one was much larger and more majestic. It was completely sealed off by a massive vortex of air, preventing any energy from leaking out.

Zhang Xuan frowned.

The sight before him felt as if a vortex of air was blocked off by a massive ship. No matter how powerful the vortex was, it was unable to move in the slightest.

This was indeed the case for this hall.

The black vortex seemed to lead to the depths of darkness, leaving one’s heart palpitating in fear. However, it was suppressed by the hall before him, as if it was a valve that blocked the flow of water.

With the destruction of the altar, there was no way back. He could only advance.

“Let’s enter!”

Regardless of what the other party was up to, he had no choice but to enter and find the answer. If he remained outside, he wouldn’t be able to solve the problem.

Zhang Xuan and his clone walked up to the entrance of the hall. There were two massive pillars that pierced right into the air, as if nailing the entire hall to the ground, preventing it from moving with the flow of the air.

Frowning, Zhang Xuan activated his Eye of Insight to take a look at the pillars.

“These are … Semi-Divinity artifacts?”

Zhang Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.

The two pillars were actually Semi-Divinity artifacts as well!

Zhang Xuan whipped out the Tongshang Sword and tapped lightly on the pillars. Sword qi burst forth, shattering the surrounding space into countless thin threads.

Ding ding ding!

Sparks flew all around the pillars, but not a single mark was left on them.

“Just a single pillar is already so powerful? What in the world is this place?”

Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.

For an ordinary pillar to remain intact even after exerting all of his strength, this hall was probably even more powerful than the Hall of Gods that he had encountered before.

The doors to the hall weren’t locked, but they weren’t closed either. Thus, Zhang Xuan walked in.

“Why aren’t you moving anymore?”

Zhang Xuan turned around to take a look, only to see that his clone wasn’t following him.

“I can’t go in …”

The clone took a step forward, only to feel a peculiar pressure crushing down on it. It couldn’t help but retreat backward. It continued to advance forward, and continued to retreat. It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking the entrance of the hall, preventing it from entering.

“You can’t go in?”

Zhang Xuan took two steps back and walked over to the area where his clone was blocked. He reached out to touch it, but there was nothing there at all. However, his clone was unable to move forward at all.

“I should return to my storage ring first.”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and kept his clone into his storage ring. Then, he turned around and walked over to the barrier, only to have his clone reappear right outside.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

Even though he was hiding in his storage ring, he was still chased out?

Wasn’t this invisible barrier a little too overbearing?

“Since you can’t go in, you should just wait here …”

Zhang Xuan tried a few more times, but his clone still wasn’t able to enter the hall. Thus, he could only hand over the matter to Zhang Xuan.

“It seems like the other party knows how powerful my clone is, so he used some kind of method to prevent me from entering …”

Zhang Xuan thought warily.

As formidable as Kong Shi was, he was only able to fight evenly with his clone. Most likely, he had seen through Zhang Xuan’s strength and used some kind of method to allow his main body to enter the hall alone.

If that was the case, it would be extremely dangerous inside!

Should he enter or not?

Grabbing the Tongshang Sword tightly, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath.

Putting aside the fact that his path of retreat had been sealed off, just the fact that his cultivation had reached Semi-Divinity realm meant that he didn’t dare face Kong Shi anymore. As for the possibility of breaking through space and entering the Firmament in the future, that was just wishful thinking.

A cultivator’s state of mind was extremely important.

Only by being fearless could one press forward courageously.

Most likely, the other party had intentionally prevented his clone from entering the Firmament in order to play a psychological game with him.

After all, he only had one life. If his main body was in danger, he would really die.

Tossing aside all of his negative thoughts, Zhang Xuan walked into the hall.

Since he had already made up his mind, nothing else mattered to him.

The hall was pitch-black, such that he couldn’t see anything at all.

The darkness before him seemed to have invaded his senses and mind, such that even his Eye of Insight was unable to see through it.

“I’m in. If you want to kill me, make your move!”

Zhang Xuan scanned his surroundings with his sword in hand.

His voice reverberated in the hall, but there was no response.

Taking a few steps back, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and he frowned.

Just now, he had only walked a few steps when the door behind him disappeared!

In other words …

Most likely, he had fallen into some kind of bizarre formation.

“Flaws!”

Zhang Xuan placed his hand on the wall behind him and touched it lightly.

Regardless of what kind of bizarre formation it was, as long as he had the Library of Heaven’s Path, he would be able to see through it.

Weng!

A light buzz sounded, but no book appeared in his mind.

“This place … can isolate the heavens?”

Zhang Xuan’s face turned livid.

It seemed like this was the doing of Kong Shi. Other than Kong Shi and Lozosy, no one else knew that he possessed the Heavens’ Imperfections. First, he had prevented his clone from entering the Firmament, and then, he had isolated the Library of Heaven’s Path and even his Eye of Insight …

The other party was trying to take him for a blind person and kill him!

“Since I can’t use my eyes and Spiritual Perception, I can only rely on my ears …”

Even though Zhang Xuan was nervous, he didn’t panic at all. He closed his eyes and listened intently.

Drip! Drip!

The sound of water droplets echoed from the distance.

“Go!”

Zhang Xuan flicked his sword, and a surge of sword qi flew toward the water droplets.

The water droplets fell into the ocean.

Once the water droplets disappeared without a trace, there would be no reaction at all.

Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, Kong Shi’s voice suddenly sounded, “Leave this room before the water droplets touch the ground. Otherwise … leave this place!”

“Leave this place?”

Zhang Xuan frowned.

Didn’t the other party intentionally lure him here?

Why did he have to leave this place?

“Since the altar has been destroyed, I won’t be able to return even if I leave this place. Instead, I’ll be trapped here forever … Thus, I can only follow his instructions and find the other party, save Palace Master Du, and … kill him!”

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan finally understood the other party’s scheme.

Even if he were to leave now, he wouldn’t be able to leave this place. He could only follow the other party’s instructions and proceed forward. No matter what the other party’s motive was, as long as he could break through all of this, he would be able to find the other party!

“I can’t see anything at all, so this should be a Confinement Formation …”

Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.

He couldn’t see anything, his Spiritual Perception, and even the Library of Heaven’s Path couldn’t be used. There was no doubt that there was an unimaginable Confinement Formation in the hall.

“Since this is a formation, the spiritual energy in the surroundings should be different. As long as I can find the pattern of the spiritual energy and determine the location of the formation core and formation flags, it should be easy to decipher this formation …”

Going through the formation in his mind, Zhang Xuan began sensing the surroundings carefully.

Formations had formation flags and formation cores, so there was no way the spiritual energy would be evenly distributed.

As long as he could find the pattern, he would be able to find a way to decipher it.

This was one of the most basic formations on the Master Teacher Continent.

As the strongest formation master on the Master Teacher Continent, Zhang Xuan was already familiar with it.

“No, this isn’t right. The spiritual energy here seems to be the same …”

Sensing the spiritual energy in the surroundings, Zhang Xuan realized that the thickness of the spiritual energy was exactly the same. He couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Taking two steps forward, he tried sensing the spiritual energy around him, but it was still the same.

He took a few steps left and right, but it was still the same!

Could there be no formation core or formation flags?

That shouldn’t be the case!

As long as it was a formation, there should be something like that.

Zhang Xuan took out a compass.

Even though he couldn’t see the needle on it, as long as he held it in his hand, he could still sense the direction and force of the needle.
