Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2110

At the same time, Mo Yuan also opened his eyes.

It was impossible for him to have a good night’s sleep while protecting his students. He also sensed something, and his eyes lit up in excitement.

Seeing Mo Yuan’s expression, Zhang Xuan seemed to have realized something.

Mo Yuan stood up and said, “Most likely, it’s the thing that we’re looking for in this trial, the Tempest Sand Fox!”

Zhang Xuan frowned.

He knew nothing about the Firmament, so he had no idea what kind of beast it was.

Noticing Zhang Xuan’s confusion, Mo Yuan explained, “The Tempest Sand Fox is a low-tier God realm divine beast. Its offensive and defensive prowess isn’t particularly high, but it excels in speed. Its blood and crystal core harnessed wind-attribute energy, granting it incredible speed. It’s not dangerous, and it’s not easy to capture, making it ideal for students. Based on our investigation, its nest should still be half a day’s journey away from us. Who could have thought that it would appear here? ”

The purpose of this trial was to capture the Tempest Sand Fox. They had been thinking that they would fail the trial if they were to head back early, but who could have thought that it would appear in the middle of the night?

“Shen Cheng and Wu Xiaoxiao, wake up!”

After explaining the situation, Mo Yuan chuckled softly as he lowered his voice to call out to him.

Even though the students were in deep sleep, they were still god realm experts. As soon as they heard Mo Yuan’s instruction, they immediately got up and adjusted themselves to their best condition. They quickly turned their gazes over.

“Teacher, what’s wrong?”

The white-robed young man named Shen Cheng asked doubtfully.

“Listen to it yourself …” Mo Yuan pointed in the direction where the Tempest Sand Fox had come from.

Shen Cheng listened carefully, and his eyes immediately lit up in excitement. “It’s the Tempest Sand Fox?”

“That’s right!” Mo Yuan nodded.

“That’s great! It seems like we’ll be able to complete the mission today …” Shen Cheng leaped to his feet in excitement. “Everyone, get ready. We’ll move out according to our plan!”

“Alright!”

The students replied with hushed voices as they swiftly dashed out of the room.

Seeing how their movements were so orderly, without the slightest wastage or disturbance, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but nod in approval.

As expected of the top students of the academy, they did seem to be extraordinary.

Even though they were just ordinary deities, their combat prowess was not bad.

“Brother Zhang Xuan, you should continue resting here. I’ll head over to check on them,” Mo Yuan said with a chuckle as he stood up and followed behind Zhang Xuan.

“Zhao Ya, you’ll be in charge of keeping watch. Take good care of Junior Brother, Junior Sister, Grandmaster, and the others. I’ll be right back!” With that, Zhang Xuan vanished from the spot.

He had never seen a Whirlwind Sand Fox before, so this was a good opportunity for him to see how the students of the Master Teacher Academy would cooperate with him in capturing the Whirlwind Sand Fox. At the same time, he could also gain a deeper understanding of the Firmament.

Everyone moved quickly. Zhang Xuan hadn’t fully recovered from his injuries yet, so he barely managed to keep up. Just as he arrived behind a boulder, he saw Shen Cheng and the other disciples surrounding a Divine Beast.

It was a fox-like celestial beast. It wasn’t too large in size, and it was able to maneuver its way around while being surrounded by the crowd. Just as Mo Yuan had said, it was indeed a formidable fox-like beast.

“This group of students is not bad…”

Zhang Xuan glanced at the path of the encirclement and nodded in agreement.

He had thought that they were just a bunch of idiots, but after seeing how they were encircled, he immediately dispelled that thought.

Every single movement of the crowd was in accordance with the rules of the formation, sealing off all paths of escape for the Whirlwind Sand Fox. No matter how fast that fellow was, it was still unable to escape.

It was no wonder why Mo Yuan had always thought so highly of himself and looked down on the students of master teachers. These people were indeed extraordinary.

Be it in terms of strength, awareness, or movement, they were definitely the cream of the crop.

“It seems like the Whirlwind Sand Fox won’t be able to escape this time around.”

Zhang Xuan shook his head.

While the celestial beast was extremely fast, the students were no pushovers either. It was already a foregone conclusion that they would be able to capture the Whirlwind Sand Fox.

Just as Zhang Xuan was about to head back to recover from his injuries, a thought suddenly flashed across his mind.

Based on his understanding of saint beasts and spirit beasts, each of them had their own territories and territories. Under normal circumstances, they would rarely cross the boundaries of their territories.

Based on what Mo Yuan had said, the Whirlwind Sand Fox was still at least half an hour away from his current location. Why would it appear in the middle of the night?

Zhang Xuan activated his Eye of Insight.

The intricate trail of movement appeared before him, and Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up in excitement.

There was a faint trail in the direction that the Whirlwind Sand Fox was heading in. Clearly, it was chasing after something.

Following the trail, the Whirlwind Sand Fox swiftly disappeared into the darkness behind the crowd.

For a celestial beast to risk its life to leave its lair in the middle of the night, the thing that it was chasing after was definitely not simple.

After traveling for a short distance, Zhang Xuan suddenly came to a halt.

The trail vanished into a dense forest.

With a deep frown, Zhang Xuan dashed into the forest.

The crescent moon in the sky wasn’t too bright, and the dense foliage of the forest obscured the surroundings. Zhang Xuan’s Eye of Insight was also restricted, so he wasn’t able to see too clearly.

Zhang Xuan came to a halt.

The trail had vanished without a trace.

Lowering his head, Zhang Xuan scanned the area, and a deep frown appeared on his face.

Where the trail had vanished, there were only some ordinary plants. There was nothing special about it.

Could it be that the thing that the Whirlwind Sand Fox was chasing after had vanished into thin air?

He was just curious as to what it was that could make the Whirlwind Sand Fox risk its life to chase after it. Now that the thing had vanished without a trace, it immediately piqued Zhang Xuan’s interest.

Half a month after arriving in the Firmament, he had been unable to use the Library of Heaven’s Path, and most of the plants in the Firmament were different from those in the Forsaken Continent. As such, he had to rely on the Eye of Insight to determine whether a plant was poisonous or not.

As long as other ordinary lifeforms ate it regularly, there shouldn’t be any problem.

Of course, even if it was poisonous, it wouldn’t matter. After all, one of them possessed the Innate Poison Body. She could just eat it first, and if she didn’t find it tasty, it would definitely not be poisonous.

He had been using the Eye of Insight recently, so he was well aware of its capabilities in the Firmament.

Since the trail had vanished here, that meant that the thing that the Whirlwind Sand Fox was chasing after was still in the vicinity.

Zhang Xuan searched the area once more, but he still couldn’t find anything.

Zhang Xuan frowned.

The trail was still there, so unless the Whirlwind Sand Fox was flying, there was no way it could have hidden from him.

“Since he’s able to fly, the Sand Fox wouldn’t be able to catch up to him … Could it be that he’s traveling through the ground?” The soil on the ground was dry, and there were no traces of it being turned over. Zhang Xuan was puzzled when his eyes suddenly fell on a thick green weed.

This stalk of grass didn’t stand out too much from the surroundings, but … in order to search for wild herbs in the vicinity, he had circled the area more than ten times, and he was certain that he had never seen such a stalk of grass before.

If he had seen it back then, he would have eaten it immediately. He wouldn’t have kept it until now.

He gently touched it with his palm.

Weng!

A book appeared in his mind.

“The Green Beast Ancient Grass can freely switch between beast and grass, and it has great nourishing effects on one’s soul. Using it together with the Mayang Beast Blood, it can raise the soul of an ordinary god to the level of a celestial god. The first flaw was that it was extremely poisonous and harmful to the human body. If there was no way to detoxify it, the soul would improve, but the body would be damaged. Secondly, they are very rare and hard to find … ”

Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up.

If not for the fact that he could use the Library of Heaven’s Path, he might have really been fooled by the other party.

This stalk of grass did look exactly like grass, and he couldn’t see any difference at all.

Putting aside the Master Teacher Continent and the Azure, there was also the Caterpillar Fungus, which was both a beast and a grass at the same time. It had great medicinal value.

Who would have thought that this stalk of grass would have such a miraculous effect on one’s soul as well?

To be able to raise the soul of a god to the level of a celestial god, it was truly frightening.

It was no wonder the Sand Fox was willing to risk its life for this stalk of grass.

As for the poison, it was nothing to Zhang Xuan, who possessed the Heaven’s Path Divine Art.

Knowing what was going on, how could he possibly allow this stalk of grass to escape? Zhang Xuan held his breath and reached out to grab it.

As if sensing Zhang Xuan’s intention to capture it, the stalk of grass suddenly leaped out of the soil and dashed forward.

Its speed was so fast that it felt like a gale.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

The reason why he couldn’t catch the rabbit previously was because of his severe injuries. After a good meal, he had recovered quite a bit of his stamina, and yet, he couldn’t even grab a stalk of grass.

With a single step, he leaped eight meters forward and grabbed at the stalk of grass.

Zhang Xuan released his divine energy from his fingertips to form a net.

His heart was like a net with thousands of knots.

A sword art that surpassed the heavens shrouded the stalk of grass and wrapped it around it.

Pinching it lightly, Zhang Xuan infused his consciousness into it, and as expected, he found a surge of energy that warmed his soul flowing continuously within it, warming his heart and soul.

With a flick of his finger, the net was completely shrouded in sword qi, preventing the stalk of grass from escaping. Only then did Zhang Xuan put the stalk of grass into his robes and wrap it properly.

His soul was only at low-tier God at the moment. If he could raise his soul to Celestial God realm, he wouldn’t have to fear a Celestial God realm cultivator anymore!

Zhang Xuan packed up the medicinal herbs and returned to his residence, only to see that Mo Yuan had returned with his students. The Whirlwind Sand Fox was still in Mo Yuan’s grasp, struggling furiously, but it was completely helpless.

“Congratulations!”

Seeing that they had successfully completed the trial and captured the celestial beast, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.

He had thought that the stalk of grass wouldn’t be able to escape, and it seemed like he was right.

“Where did Brother Zhang go?”

Seeing that Zhang Xuan wasn’t with the others, Mo Yuan frowned in bewilderment.

“I saw that you were out to catch the stalk of grass, so I went over to take a look. However, I couldn’t find you, so I returned,” Zhang Xuan replied.

“To be able to get lost in such a short distance, you sure are a fool!”

Wu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. She turned to look at Zhang Xuan with disdain in her eyes.

Those fellows had nearly caused them to fail the trial. It was one thing for them to be strong, but to be able to get lost in such a short distance … They were truly extraordinarily stupid.

More importantly, Senior Shen Cheng, who had been keeping an eye on her all this while, hadn’t even spared her a single glance ever since the other girls appeared. Just thinking about it made her furious.
