Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2091

All along, Zhang Xuan had thought that his rate of cultivation was already fast enough, but it had still taken him more than half a month to advance from Ancient Sage 4-dan to High Immortal realm. The sweat and tears that he had put in along the way went without saying.

It could be said that it had not been easy for him to advance one step at a time.

Even though his eleven direct disciples had obtained the simplified Heaven’s Path Divine Art and had sufficient Immortal Pills to provide them with energy, how long had it been for them to advance from True Immortal realm to High Immortal realm?

How many hours had it been?

Half a day?

It couldn’t be that fast!

“It’s not that fast anymore. After our teacher left, we cultivated for nearly a month before we managed to reach this level,” Zhao Ya said.

“A month?”

Zhang Xuan frowned. “I don’t think it’s that long …”

The flow of time in the Hall of Gods was ten times faster than that of the Forsaken Continent. A month, thirty days, 360 hours … That was equivalent to thirty-six hours.

He had made a rough calculation of the time he had spent in the Hall of Gods, and he had spent no more than two hours in the Ethereal Hall. Even if he were to include the four hours he had spent climbing the pillars, it would only be ten hours in total.

That was a far cry from thirty-six hours!

“Unless …”

A thought suddenly surfaced in Zhang Xuan’s mind. “The flow of time in the Hall of Gods is a tenth of that in the Ethereal Hall. In other words, it’s a hundredth of that in the Azure!”

If the flow of time in the Hall of Gods was even slower, such as a hundredth of that in the Azure, it would make sense.

Two hours in the Hall of Gods was equivalent to three hundred hours in the Azure, and four hours in the Ethereal Hall was equivalent to forty hours in the Azure.

After some calculations, it had already been more than 320 hours. Indeed, it was close to a month.

“The flow of time in the real Hall of Gods is a hundredth of that in the Azure … Could it be that the flow of time in the real Firmament is that slow as well?”

If that was the case, it would be too frightening.

The flow of time was not necessarily faster. On the contrary, the slower it was, the more stable it would be.

The faster a stone was, the longer it could float on the surface of the water. On the other hand, the slower it was, the easier it would sink … unless it was on mercury.

Time and space were inseparable.

If the flow of time in the Firmament was a hundredth of what it was in the Azure, it would be a hundredfold more resilient.

In the microscopic world, if there could be life on atoms, and the other party could also sense time, then … it would definitely be completely different from what humans could sense. What we think of as one second might be a century or even longer in the eyes of the other party. It would be long enough for a civilization to be born and destroyed.

Therefore, the slower time passed, the more stable the space would be, and the stronger the lifeforms living within it would be.

Hence, there was the saying, “A day in Heaven is a year on Earth!”

The difference was 365 times.

If that was really the case in the Firmament, the gods would be much more terrifying than he had imagined. In other words, if that Kong Shi really managed to make a breakthrough, his strength would be much greater than he had expected, and he would be much more difficult to deal with.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan tossed the matter aside before turning his gaze back to the disciples before him.

With the help of the simplified Heaven’s Path Divine Art and sufficient cultivation resources, as well as the fact that Zhao Ya and the others possessed unique constitutions and a strong foundation, it was not too difficult for them to advance from True Immortal realm to Heavenly High Immortal realm.

“Sit down properly. I’ll explain to you the Semi-Divinity realm and God’s Intent.”

Zhang Xuan paused for a moment before turning to Zhang Xuan.

Given the current circumstances, even Heavenly High Immortals would not be of much help. The only ones who could help him were Semi-Divinity realm cultivators.

Since he was already so close to reaching the Semi-Divinity realm, he might as well lend him a helping hand.

The Hall of Gods had comprehended six God’s Intents, and the Gods’ Sword Intent had a total of seven God’s Intents. As long as these disciples could grasp the essence of any one of them, it would be a walk in the park for them to reach the Semi-Divinity realm.

“Yes!”

Hearing that their teacher was going to lecture them, the disciples sat down excitedly.

Han Jianqiu and the others were just about to leave when they saw the excitement in the crowd, so they could only sit by the side.

“In order to achieve a breakthrough to the Semi-Divinity realm, one must first understand what ‘god’ is. To be supreme, one must become a god. To have a clear mind and transcend nature, one must become a god. To be able to walk with the wind, one must become a god. In order to reach the Semi-Divinity realm, one must first ascertain one’s inner state and become a god. ”

Zhang Xuan spoke slowly.

Han Jianqiu and the others were Semi-Divinity realm cultivators, so they did not pay much attention to it. However, after listening for a while, they found themselves immersed in it.

Even though they had achieved a breakthrough to the Semi-Divinity realm, they did not know much about it. They were able to utilize their physical strength, but they had no idea where their strength came from or how it worked.

It was just like how those who knew how to fly did not understand how planes flew.

The only reason they had succeeded was because they had used the unique spiritual energy on the circular platform on the Azure Bridge to break through their bottleneck.

As such, it was impossible for them to impart their understanding of this realm to others. They could only rely on their own strength to suppress their own sects.

However, things were different now. Their teacher’s lecture was simple and detailed, allowing them to understand what he was trying to say. As soon as they understood what he was trying to say, they could not help but drive their zhenqi along with it.

Hong long!

In less than two hours, everyone’s aura had already risen to the heavens. Zhao Ya and the others, who were still stuck at Heavenly High Immortal realm a moment ago, had managed to achieve a breakthrough simultaneously.

Zhang Xuan had imparted the unique aura on the circular platform to them previously. Through comprehending the key to achieving a breakthrough, they were able to advance to a higher realm.

As for Han Jianqiu and the others, they had managed to reach Heavenly Semi-Divinity realm. Furthermore, their zhenqi had become purer, and their fighting prowess had risen significantly.

After recuperating for a moment, Han Jianqiu and the others finally came to a halt. They turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, “Teacher, how is the situation over at the Hall of Gods?”

They had been too focused on their cultivation that they had not asked about the situation after the teleportation.

“It’s like this …”

Zhang Xuan swiftly explained the situation over at the Hall of Gods to them.

“Teacher, you mean to say that … Hall Master Kong has managed to steal the Aura of Divinity and is likely to become a god?”

Han Jianqiu asked with narrowed eyes.

Zhang Xuan nodded. “If he succeeds, there’s no doubt that we’ll be killed. There’s no way we’ll be able to survive.”

Based on Kong Jianqiu’s actions, the Library of Heaven’s Path would surely come over to snatch it. Even though the four sects had over twenty Semi-Divinity realm cultivators, they would still be no match for Kong Jianqiu!

Putting everything aside, even if Han Jianqiu and the others were to work together, they would still be no match for him. How could they possibly stand against the godly Kong Shi?

Regardless of whether it was true or not, his fighting prowess was undeniable.

Elder Kui Xiao stepped forward and asked, “What do we do now?”

Zhang Xuan replied, “There are only two paths that we can take. First, we have to find Hall Master Kong and snatch the Aura of Divinity back. Regardless of the outcome, as long as we can stop him from making a breakthrough, we’ll have succeeded! ”

The crowd nodded.

As long as Kong Jianqiu didn’t make a breakthrough, they would still be able to stand against him with their strength.

Just that …

After obtaining the Aura of Divinity, Kong Jianqiu must have hidden himself in a place where no one could find him. How could they possibly find him?

Putting aside them, they probably couldn’t even get in touch with Kong Jianqiu’s most trusted subordinates.

Zhang Xuan continued, “Second, we have to be strong enough to stand against the gods. Only then will we be able to deal with the threat posed by Kong Jianqiu …”

If they couldn’t find Kong Shi and snatch the Aura of Divinity back, they would have to prepare their defenses.

As long as they could set up a formation that even gods wouldn’t be able to enter, or perhaps, their golden page would be able to crush Kong Jianqiu to death. With that, the threat posed by Kong Jianqiu would be eliminated.

Just that …

Would the golden page be able to crush a god?

He didn’t think that it would.

It was true that the golden page was powerful, and it had displayed invincible might all along. However, its strength was dependent on the strength of the heavens of the world that it was in.

It was just like how the heavens of the Master Teacher Continent were unable to kill him in his current state.

At the very most, it would be able to expel him.

The current Library of Heaven’s Path had fused with the heavens of the Azure. While it was able to kill Semi-Divinity realm experts with ease, it was unlikely that it would be able to wipe out a god.

The reason why he was able to kill an Immortal’s Envoy so easily back then was because the other party was only at Ancient Sage 4-dan, the highest realm that the heavens of the Master Teacher Continent allowed.

Of course, this was only his conjecture. It would be best if he could crush the other party as soon as he appeared.

However, he knew that he couldn’t place all of his hopes on it, or else he would be doomed if it turned out to be unreliable.

More importantly, given that Kong Shi was aware of the Heavens’ Imperfections, he should be aware of his trump cards. If he were to make use of the Paragon Blackmirror to travel through space or send out a shadow, the golden page would be unable to do anything to him.

If not for this reason, he would have killed Kong Shi outside the Hall of Gods with a single blow.

“You have sufficient strength? That’s true. As long as you achieve a breakthrough to the gods, it shouldn’t be too difficult for you to defeat Kong Shi, “Han Jianqiu said.

Zhang Xuan shook his head bitterly.

Putting aside the fact that he didn’t have the Aura of Divinity, he didn’t even have the Heaven’s Path Divine Art ready yet.

It had only been a day since he achieved a breakthrough to the Semi-Divinity realm, so how could it be that easy for him to make another breakthrough?

“Teacher, didn’t you say that you have saved Palace Master Du? Why isn’t she around? She knows a lot about the gods, so she might have a better idea! ”

Elder Qin Yuan suddenly said.

“Un.”

Zhang Xuan nodded, and Du Qingyuan appeared before the crowd.

He had been too focused on raising the cultivation of Zhao Ya and the others, so he hadn’t released her from the Myriad Anthive Nest yet.

“Paying respects to Palace Master Du!”

The two of them exchanged pleasantries with one another.

Han Jianqiu explained the current situation to Du Qingyuan before asking, “Palace Master Du, do you know of any other way to become a god other than through the Aura of Divinity?”

“I don’t. If I did, our Starchaser Palace would have already produced a god,” Du Qingyuan replied.

Du Qingyuan shook her head.

Hearing Du Qingyuan’s affirmative reply, awkward looks appeared on everyone’s faces.

If it was that easy to become a deity, Starchaser Palace would have long had geniuses who had managed to do so. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have only had Semi-Divinity realm cultivators in their ranks, and they wouldn’t have been captured by Hall Master Kong.

“Do we really have no choice but to defend passively?”

Han Jianqiu’s eyes reddened in agitation.
