Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2102

The Hall of Gods was located right above the black vortex, like a cork that was plugging up the hole in the ground. He had always wanted to go over to check it out, but his cultivation was too low, so he was unable to get close to it. Now that he had become a true Divinity, even though the black vortex was terrifying, he did not have to fear it anymore!

Flying in a straight line, the distance that would normally take four hours to cover was covered in just a few minutes.

The massive palace appeared before Zhang Xuan once more. Black mist swirled around it, and cracks could be seen all over the place.

When Zhang Xuan arrived above the whirlpool, he immediately felt a unique force tearing at him, as if trying to devour him.

“Let’s go in and have a look!”

The Divine Power in Xiao Chen’s body surged, wrapping around him. Then, with a light sway, he dived in.

Tss tss tss!

The shattered space around the vortex tore at his body relentlessly, such that even a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator would find it hard to withstand it. However, it wasn’t too difficult for Zhang Xuan to deal with the current him.

In front of him was a pitch-black tunnel that led to an unknown destination.

However, it gave him a feeling that it was filled with spiritual energy, making him want to go over and take a look.

“Could this be … the entrance to the Firmament?”

Recalling the passageway connecting the Master Teacher Continent to the Azure in the Kun Xu Dimension, Zhang Xuan decided to calm down.

That passageway was guarded by the Hundred Schools of Philosophers to prevent the mercury-like spiritual energy from entering. Regardless of whether it was the seal or whatever, Kong Shi’s shadow could be seen in it.

The one before him was the same as well.

The Hall of Gods at the back was guarded by Kong shi’s will, and the Aura of Divinity that they had encountered earlier had been extracted from there.

Moreover, after his will replaced Kong Shi to guard the temple, he also learned the rules. As long as someone defeated his will, he would also be able to obtain a strand of God Spiritual Aura.

However, it was a pity that his will was simply too powerful, such that Zhao Ya and the others were unable to defeat him. Otherwise, he would have long sent them over to collect them.

“Let’s head back to inform them first. Once they’re done, we’ll come back to investigate …”

Seeing that the vortex before him was unable to harm him in his current state, Zhang Xuan did not rush in. Instead, he flew out of the vortex.

Due to his battle with Kong Shi, Zhao Ya, Han Jianqiu, and the others must be feeling extremely anxious right now. He had to return as soon as possible!

It did not take long for him to return to the Ethereal Hall headquarters.

With a thought, he disguised his aura as that of a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator.

One would have to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation to break through to the Deity Realm. If one were to disguise their cultivation, they might be able to delay the Heavenly Tribulation a little.

With a light grasp of his palm, the space that was previously sealed by the Godly Spirit was torn open, and he stepped into it.

When he reappeared once more, he was already right above the Heaven Anchoring Boulder.

After confirming the direction, Zhang Xuan tore through space once more.

The next moment, he appeared right above Starchaser Palace.

Seeing that the Heavenly Tribulation didn’t reward him, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and looked around.

The battle between the Ethereal Hall, the Blackmirror Citadel, and the Evanescent Immortal Sect against the four sects had finally come to an end. Countless corpses littered the ground.

“Teacher, you’re back?”

Sensing his aura, Zhao Ya and the others came over excitedly.

Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that although the disciples were in a sorry state, they did not suffer any serious injuries. “What’s the result?”

“We’ve captured Sect Leader Bai and Sect Leader Gu of the Mystical Mirror Sect and the Evanescent Immortal Sect. The others have surrendered as well. These two sects are practically dead now! As for the Ethereal Hall, they were no longer a match for the hall master and the sect leader, so they were all captured! ”

Zhao Ya explained.

After Hall Master Kong left to pursue Zhang Xuan, the remaining forces were in a state of disunity.

Zhao Ya and the others were all Semi-Divinity realm cultivators, and they were equipped with Semi-Divinity artifacts. Even though the three sects had many experts, they were still no match for them. On top of that, the hundred thousand True Immortals had also participated in the battle, and it didn’t take long for the battle to become a one-sided one.

In the end, nearly all of the experts from the three sects were wiped out. Knowing that they were no match for the four sects, they surrendered.

“It’s good that it’s over,” Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.

With the four sects and the oceanic lifeform, it was likely that most of them were at the Heavenly High Immortal realm, so there was no need for him to worry too much. The ones that worried him the most were the Semi-Divinity realm cultivators. However, with the breakthroughs of Zhao Ya and the others, as well as the fact that he had slain more than a dozen Semi-Divinity realm cultivators in the Azure, there was no need for him to worry about them anymore.

After asking a few more questions, Zhang Xuan learned that while the four sects had suffered significant losses, it wasn’t as severe as he had thought. Thus, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Have you collected Little Chick’s ashes? I would like to pay my respects to him personally. ”

Little Chick had died for him.

If not for it obstructing Kong Shi, he would not have been able to purify the Aura of Divinity and achieve a breakthrough.

“I did collect it, but …”

Knowing how close their teacher was to Little Chick’s tamed beast, Zhao Ya and the others quickly gathered the ashes of Zhang Xuan’s tamed beast.

“But what?” Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.

“The ashes are still burning together,” Zhao Ya said with a bitter smile as she pointed forward.

Zhang Xuan quickly turned his gaze over, and he saw a bundle of golden flames burning in the sky not too far away.

Back then, when Little Chick was killed by Kong Shi’s clone, it seemed to have been burned to ashes at this location.

Zhang Xuan walked up to the bundle of golden flames with a frown on his face.

Even though the bundle of golden flames wasn’t too large, he could clearly sense that there was life within it.

“Could it be that … Little Chick isn’t dead?”

Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

After being sliced into dozens of pieces by the sword of Kong Shi’s clone and burned for so long, putting aside a High Immortal, even a real god would have been dead by now. So, why did he feel as though a god was being nurtured?

Hu!

Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, an altar suddenly materialized beneath the flames.

It was the altar that Wu Chen had brought back from the Master Teacher Continent.

Tzzzzz!

Innumerable wisps of black aura seeped out from the altar and dived into the flames.

Xiong xiong!

The flames grew larger and larger. Initially, they were only the size of a soccer ball, but at this moment, they had grown to the size of an adult human. Following which, they swiftly grew into a fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters.

More and more black aura gathered.

“Young Master, this is a Teleportation Formation between altars!”

Wu Chen and Du Qingyuan walked up to Zhang Xuan.

“A Teleportation Formation between altars?”

Zhang Xuan was perplexed.

“It’s similar to the Hall of Gods you entered previously. It’s a Teleportation Formation between two identical altars,” Wu Chen said.

Previously, in order to enter the Hall of Gods, Zhang Xuan had found this altar from the Master Teacher Continent so that he could use a unique method to teleport between two altars.

Just that …

“Wasn’t the altar destroyed by Kong Shi’s clone?” Zhang Xuan asked. However, halfway through his words, he suddenly froze. “Could it be … the one in the City of Collapsed Space?”

There was only one such altar in the entire Forsaken Continent. Otherwise, there would have been no need for him to travel back to the Master Teacher Continent.

However, there was another one in the City of Collapsed Space!

Zhang Xuan and Du Qingyuan had gone there personally.

“It’s indeed the air of degeneration!”

With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan quickly turned his gaze over and saw the black aura rising from the altar. It was the air of degeneration, and it was even purer than the one he had seen before. It was somewhat similar to the corrupted Aura of Divinity that the black skeleton had given him.

“Could it be …”

A thought suddenly surfaced in Zhang Xuan’s mind. He was just about to tear open a spatial rift to enter the City of Collapsed Space to take a look when the flames before him suddenly burst apart. A little yellow chick stretched its back lazily as it walked out from within.

“Little Chick …”

Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly walked up to the little yellow chick.

The little yellow chick before him did not look too different from before. It was still covered in fluffy feathers, reminiscent of a little chick that had just hatched from its shell not too long ago. However, just like him, its cultivation had reached the level of the gods.

“You have made a breakthrough?”

Zhang Xuan could hardly believe his eyes.

Previously, he had fed the little yellow chick Immortal Pills and fed it the blood of a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator. He had used many different methods on it, but none of them had caused the little yellow chick’s cultivation to advance in the slightest. Yet, after being killed by Kong Shi’s clone, not only did the little yellow chick survive, it even leaped two cultivation realms and became a god!

The reason why he had been able to advance so quickly was due to his hard work and talent. Yet, the little yellow chick did not know anything other than eating.

“Indeed!”

Flapping its wings, Little Chick put on a smug look.

“This … Have you recovered some of your memories?”

Zhang Xuan asked.

“I haven’t.”

Little Chick shook its head.

“Alright then.”

Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella in distress.

He had been feeling sad for the little yellow chick for so long, but who would have thought that not only did the little yellow chick survive after being minced into meat paste, it even managed to become a god?

Was this what it meant by destruction before creation?

One must know that even a clone would not be able to survive after being minced into so many pieces.

“Advancing to the level of a god requires the Aura of Divinity. The aura of degeneration that the altar absorbed earlier should be similar to the one that the skeleton gave me …”

Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.

The aura that the skeleton in the City of Collapsed Space had given him was identical to the one that he had absorbed from the altar.

Most likely, Little Chick had made use of that to overcome the bottleneck of the Semi-Divinity realm and reach its current level.

However, the aura of degeneration harnessed by the skeleton was so powerful that even gods would not be able to withstand it.

It was for this reason that it was able to deal with Kong Shi’s clone, inflicting severe injuries on him and allowing him to be suppressed so easily.

He had to sacrifice a hundred thousand True Immortals before he was able to purify it and absorb it into his body, thus achieving a breakthrough.

Instead of purifying it, Little Chick absorbed it directly.

“Little Chick’s bathwater is able to neutralize the corrosion of the aura of degeneration … Could it be that the corrosive energy has no effect on Little Chick at all? Or perhaps, it might even be a great tonic? That’s also the reason why Little Chick was so insistent on eating that skeleton … ”

A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan’s eyes.

Back in the City of Collapsed Space, Little Chick had been shouting about how hungry it was and how it wanted to eat skeletons.

It was just that Little Chick was too powerful back then, so Zhang Xuan did not allow it to do as it pleased. From the looks of it now, there was a good chance that Little Chick really had a way to neutralize the aura of degeneration.

From the looks of it, Little Chick was no ordinary chicken. It was likely to be a formidable divine beast!

It was a pity that it had lost its memories, or else it would have been able to grow swiftly. That way, he would at least have a backer in the Firmament.

Just that … the backing of others was a powerful god whereas his backing was just a chicken … It did not sound too good to him.

“Right, Master, I seem to have found a way to advance my cultivation …”

Just as Zhang Xuan was deep in thought, Little Chick suddenly walked over and sent a telepathic message to him.

“A way to advance your cultivation?” Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up. “Tell me about it.”

“The reason why I managed to advance to Heavenly High Immortal realm from the start was due to the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix’s flames. Back then, I was burned to death and reduced to ashes. It seems like it’s the same this time as well. Could it be that I have to use flames to advance my cultivation?”

Little Chick asked.

“This …”

Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up. “That’s possible! Why don’t we give it a try? ”
