Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2092

With the emergence of new Semi-Divinity realm cultivators in the four sects, the number of Semi-Divinity realm cultivators on the Forsaken Continent was also increasing. They had thought that this was the time to bring cultivation to a new height, but if they couldn’t stand up to Hall Master Kong, everything would become history.

“There really isn’t any. Unless …” Du Qingyuan paused for a moment.

“Unless what?”

“Perhaps we can find the source of the air of degeneration in the City of Collapsed Space!”

Du Qingyuan pondered for a moment before replying.

“The source of the air of degeneration? Why would we need that? “Zhang Xuan frowned.

He had been to the City of Collapsed Space once, and the air of degeneration was so terrifying that even his Heaven’s Path zhenqi was unable to fend it off. He could only rely on Little Chick’s bathwater to fend it off.

Even Semi-Divinity realm cultivators wouldn’t be able to expel the air of degeneration once they came into contact with it. If not for him, Jiang Yao would have been reduced to dust by now.

What was the point of looking for it?

“Legend has it that the City of Collapsed Space isn’t a city on the Forsaken Continent but a city that fell from the Firmament! It contains the corpses of the gods! “Du Qingyuan said.

“A city that fell from the Firmament?”

Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

Han Jianqiu and the others also glanced at one another in disbelief.

The City of Collapsed Space had always been a forbidden ground for cultivators, so this was the first time they had heard of such a thing.

“Un. This city suddenly fell from the sky several thousand years ago. Back then, countless cultivators risked their lives to enter it, but as you should know, all of them died! ”

Du Qingyuan said. “No one knows about this matter. I only heard it from the Spirit God unintentionally …”

“The Spirit God?”

Zhang Xuan’s body tensed up.

“Yes. When she heard about the City of Collapsed Space, she fell silent for a moment before saying that it was a city that fell from the Firmament due to a battle, and there are many corpses of the gods in there. As for the air of degeneration, it is the Aura of Divinity that emanates from the decaying corpses of the gods. It is formed after the energy unique to the Forsaken Continent contaminated it. As long as we can find the source, we might be able to find an uncontaminated Aura of Divinity and successfully achieve a breakthrough! ”

Du Qingyuan said.

“This … is the Aura of Divinity?”

Zhang Xuan was stunned. He flicked his finger, and a wisp of the air of degeneration appeared on his fingertip.

He had collected quite a few of them back when he was in the City of Collapsed Space, and he had made use of that opportunity to kill a Semi-Divinity realm elder from the Ethereal Hall.

All along, he had found it bizarre, but he didn’t think that there was anything special about it. However, after hearing Du Qingyuan’s explanation, he took a closer look and realized that there was indeed something different about it.

Even with his Semi-Divinity realm Heaven’s Path zhenqi, he was unable to fully neutralize the effects of the poison. As long as one was injured, it would cause one’s body to deteriorate rapidly.

Clearly, it was a life form that was far superior to the High Heavens.

Could this be the effect of the Aura of Divinity?

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed possible.

Only a god would possess such strength, such that even a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator would be unable to withstand it.

“This is just what the Spirit God said casually. There’s no way to confirm whether it’s true or not. Even if it is, it’s hard to say whether or not the source has been contaminated. Not to mention, this thing is too terrifying. As long as one touches it, death is certain … Thus, even though I know this news, I have never verified it! ”

Du Qingyuan continued.

“There’s no need to verify it. If it’s what she said, there’s a good chance that it’s true,” Zhang Xuan replied.

There was indeed something peculiar about the air of degeneration that made it hard for him to understand, but just from this, he was certain that something was amiss. However, he trusted Lozosy!

“Since this is a path, Palace Master Du and I will head to the City of Collapsed Space right away. The rest of you will remain here and make the necessary preparations!”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before instructing.

If this was a way to achieve a breakthrough to the god realm, he had to give it a try.

Even without the pressure from Kong Shi, he would still take the risk just to achieve a breakthrough.

Only by achieving a breakthrough to the god realm would he be able to break free from the shackles of the Azure and enter the Firmament. Only then would he be able to find Lozosy.

“Don’t worry, teacher. We’ll make sure to make sufficient preparations!”

Han Jianqiu said resolutely.

“Teacher?”

Palace Master Du was taken aback. “Han Jianqiu, what did you call him earlier? You … have acknowledged Zhang Xuan as your teacher? ”

As soon as she appeared, everyone had asked her about her breakthrough to the god realm. However, Zhang Xuan had kept a low profile and refused to reveal too much about it, so he was still unaware of the matter.

“Indeed. Kui Xiao, Qin Yuan, and I have all acknowledged Zhang Xuan as our teacher, becoming fellow disciples!”

Han Jianqiu replied with a smile.

If they had not acknowledged Zhang Xuan as their teacher, there was no way they would have been able to reach the Semi-Divinity realm.

“All of you have acknowledged Zhang Xuan as your teacher?”

Palace Master Du was stunned.

The former heads of the Three Sects, as well as the strongest figures on the Master Teacher Continent, had actually acknowledged a twenty-year-old lad as their teacher?

Why did it feel so unbelievable?

“Actually, if you’re willing, you can acknowledge Zhang Xuan as your teacher as well.

I don’t think so, “Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

His goal was only to obtain the golden page. Besides, they were just his students, not his direct disciples, so it did not matter how many of them there were.

“There’s no need for that.”

Palace Master Du shook her head and rejected Zhang Xuan’s offer.

It was not that she did not want to, but she found it hard to accept.

“Let’s go!”

Zhang Xuan knew that it was impossible for her to form the golden page if she was unwilling to do so. Thus, he led the way to the City of Collapsed Space, and Palace Master Du followed closely behind him.

After comprehending the Pathos of Heavens, not only had his fighting prowess increased, his speed had also increased significantly. Previously, it would have taken him half a day to reach the City of Collapsed Space, but now, it only took him four hours to arrive at the City of Collapsed Space.

Thus, they successfully entered the City of Collapsed Space.

With his familiarity with the surroundings, it did not take long for them to arrive at the place where they had saved Jiang Yao.

“We have to find the center of the City of Collapsed Space first … but this isn’t the center yet!”

Du Qingyuan said as she scanned her surroundings.

Even though she had never entered the City of Collapsed Space after hearing the news, the predecessors of Starchaser Palace had a deep understanding of the City of Collapsed Space. It was also due to this that Jiang Yao was able to lure Fu Chenzi and the others into a trap, nearly killing them.

Thus, they continued onward.

With the enhancement of his Eye of Insight and his superior fighting prowess, the Degeneration Beast formed from the air of degeneration was easily defeated. As such, they did not encounter any danger along the way.

Following behind the young man, Du Qingyuan watched as the bizarre beast that she dared not approach was easily killed, and she could not help but sigh deeply.

The young man before her was simply too powerful. She really could not fathom how he managed to cultivate to such a level!

To be able to advance from Ancient Sage 4-dan to such a level in just a month …

She dared not even dream of it.

“It’s impossible to find the source at this rate!”

After flying for another hour, Zhang Xuan still found nothing, so he decided to come to a halt.

“What do we do then?”

Du Qingyuan asked with a frown.

Even though she knew quite a bit about the City of Collapsed Space, she did not have a deep understanding of it. As for how to find the source, she was completely at a loss.

Otherwise, she would not have led the young man around the City of Collapsed Space without knowing what to do.

“I see …”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before coming up with an idea.

Hu!

His clone appeared before him.

Given his current strength, there were not many in the Azure whom he could harm. Even if his clone was exposed, it would not be a big deal.

“Clone?”

Du Qingyuan was taken aback by Zhang Xuan’s words.

If even she was unable to find the source, could it be that his clone had a better idea?

“Stand properly!”

Ignoring the bewildered Palace Master Du, Zhang Xuan whipped out the Tongshang Sword and pierced it forward.

Tzzzzz!

As soon as Zhang Xuan was injured, the air of degeneration in the surroundings began to gather toward him.

The air of degeneration that he had been unable to detect a moment ago began to show its true form.

“If it’s the source, the air of degeneration will gather in this direction,” Zhang Xuan explained.

“That’s right!”

Palace Master Du’s eyes lit up.

It was just like how one would be able to determine the source of the air of degeneration.

Of course, it was impossible for ordinary cultivators to notice such a small difference, but to the two Semi-Divinity realm cultivators, it was extremely obvious.

“Over there!”

Du Qingyuan quickly determined the direction where the air of degeneration was coming from and pointed.

Zhang Xuan nodded in response before leading his clone in the direction that Luo Ruoxin was pointing at.

Not too far away, he would stab his clone with his sword every time he realized that he was unable to pinpoint the exact location. After eight consecutive stabs, his clone nearly went on a rampage. A dilapidated hall came into sight.

Before this hall collapsed, it was impossible to tell how tall or how wide it was. Even after being reduced to rubble, it still spanned over ten li. The broken tiles and bricks on top of it were grayish-black in color.

There was no vegetation here, and it was completely barren. From time to time, a chilly breeze would blow in, leaving one shuddering in fear.

“Is it here?”

Du Qingyuan frowned in disbelief.

As bizarre as the air of degeneration was, it was still possible for it to give birth to some formidable vegetation. However, there was nothing here at all.

“It should be …”

Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.

His clone’s wound was still bleeding profusely. Judging from the air of degeneration, this should be the source of the air of degeneration.

“Let’s hurry up then!”

Without wasting any time, Du Qingyuan flew along the rubble while carefully assessing the surroundings, afraid that she would miss out on the slightest detail.

Zhang Xuan wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he exchanged glances with his clone and tried to sense the air of degeneration.

A moment later, they came to a halt amidst a pile of rubble.

Zhang Xuan opened his palm and abruptly raised it.

Countless rubble rose from the rubble, revealing the uneven ground.

The ground was filled with pitch-black inscriptions, as if it had been dyed by something.

Landing on the ground, Zhang Xuan brandished his Tongshang Sword and dug out a rock from the ground. The rock was completely black, and it emanated a peculiar glow. It felt as if it was trying to possess someone’s soul, giving it a sinister vibe.

Zhang Xuan touched it lightly.

Weng!

A book materialized in the air.

“Godblood Stone, formed by the blood of the gods …”

There was a detailed description in the book.

“It’s really this thing …”

Zhang Xuan nodded as a deep frown appeared on his forehead.

When he first saw it, he found the inscriptions to be somewhat familiar, but the color was a little off. Thus, he dug out a piece of rock to study it, and through the Library of Heaven’s Path, he was able to confirm it.

If this was the Godblood Stone, then … these pitch-black inscriptions were inscribed by the blood of the gods!

Just that … why did the Godblood Stone feel so crude? It was completely different from the one formed by Lozosy’s blood.

Could it be that … there were different grades of the blood of the gods?
