Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2113

It was true that he would be able to earn some money if he handed the bandits over, but he would have to hand over the items that he had stolen. However, no matter how high the reward was, he would only be able to earn a few dozen Divine Coins. How could that possibly compare to robbing the bandits?

While Zhang Xuan had obtained more than two hundred Divine Coins from the bandits, there were still more than four hundred Divine Coins in Streak of Ash’s storage ring. Adding everything together, he had already earned more than six hundred Divine Coins, and that was not including the pills, spirit herbs, and weapons.

It seemed like Streak of Ash had robbed quite a few wealthy merchants over the years, or else he wouldn’t have been able to amass such a huge fortune.

If he were to hand Streak of Ash over to the other party, it would be equivalent to not taking the credit for himself. At the very least, the City Lord Manor would be able to answer to the citizens of the city. On top of that, he had saved the City Lord Manor’s daughter as well. Most likely, the City Lord Manor would be too embarrassed to ask for more from him.

It was precisely because of this that he decided to keep the bandits alive.

“He’s a formidable figure!”

The two black silhouettes in the City Lord Manor nodded in agreement as they watched the group vanish into the darkness of the night.

They had been ordered to protect the young mistress, and they had seen everything that had happened earlier.

Even they couldn’t figure out whether the young man had some kind of bizarre means or was simply too powerful.

“Report this matter to the City Lord …” one of the black silhouettes instructed. “Also, send some men over to bring these bandits back and have them executed publicly!”

“Yes!” the other black silhouette replied before vanishing into thin air.

…

With the aid of their steeds, the group was able to move swiftly. In less than an hour, they saw a massive city wall standing before them.

“So, this is Twilight City?” Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up in excitement.

The scale of the city that had appeared before them far exceeded what they had seen before. In fact, it was even larger than Starchaser Island. The gray city walls extended for an unknown length, and a massive formation shrouded the area, giving it a mysterious aura.

Mo Yuan nodded in agreement.

While his injuries were severe, he knew that it would be dangerous before heading out, so he had brought some recovery medicine with him. An hour later, he had already recovered significantly from his injuries.

Taking out a special token, the group entered the city.

As soon as they stepped through the gates, Zhang Xuan immediately felt the difference between the city and the outside world.

In the outside world, the wind was howling and the chill was bone-chilling. There was almost no spiritual energy here. But here, it was as warm as spring and the spiritual energy was overwhelming. They were only separated by a wall, but it felt like they were in two different worlds.

“This formation is so mysterious …” Zhang Xuan sighed.

Just by relying on a single wall, the formation that enveloped the city walls was indeed not simple. Even with his current strength, he was unable to do so.

Most likely, one would need to be at least a Heavenly God in order to accomplish this.

“The cities that are suitable for living beings to live in were built by the Nine Monarch Horoscopes God Emperor Realm experts after the Spiritual Qi had declined! Unless an expert of that caliber makes a move, the formation won’t be able to be destroyed. That way, more people can survive and live better lives! ”

Mo Yuan explained.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

He had thought that an ordinary Celestial God would be able to pull it off, but it seemed like he had been overthinking things. With a God King personally making a move, it was no wonder why the formation was so stable.

Without saying a word, he took a deep breath and opened up all the pores on his body.

As expected, he felt spiritual energy descending from the sky and seeping into his skin. The fatigue and fatigue he felt before gradually disappeared.

“The spiritual energy of the Firmament is indeed effective!”

Zhang Xuan nodded. To be able to achieve such an effect just by absorbing a little of it …

In the twenty days that he had been in the Firmament, he had been eating wild herbs and food to obtain some spiritual energy, but his cultivation had been stagnant all this while. It was only at this moment that he finally understood how powerful the spiritual energy of the Firmament was.

While it was not as pure as the Aura of Divinity, it was still highly effective for Gods. The mercury-like spiritual energy in the Azure couldn’t compare to it at all.

Even though it was already the latter half of the night, the streets of the city were still bustling with activity.

Even the weakest Semi-Divinity realm cultivator walking around the city had reached the Semi-Divinity realm, and there were very few of them.

It was no wonder Mo Yuan was so surprised when he saw them. It seemed like those in the Firmament were born with the strength of a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator, and as long as they had the Aura of Divinity, they would be able to achieve a breakthrough to become a true god.

In the Azure, experts who only appeared once every several thousand years were worthless in the Firmament.

“Brother Zhang, thank you for saving our lives!” Mo Yuan heaved a sigh of relief as he thanked Zhang Xuan gratefully.

He had thought that Zhang Xuan was just an ordinary god, but who could have thought that he would have so many means up his sleeves?

He wasn’t the only one. Wu Xiaoxiao had a complicated look on her face as well, and she nearly found a hole to bury herself in.

All along, she had thought that the young man before her was only able to interact with them because of her teacher’s strength. Who could have thought that …

Even Streak Ash, whom her father had hunted down multiple times, would be defeated by him!

It was laughable how she had mocked him time and time again …

It was just that the young man didn’t hold it against her. Otherwise, even ten of her wouldn’t have been a match for him!

“If not for you leading the way, we would still be trapped in the Grand Spirit Mountain, unable to leave!” Zhang Xuan chuckled as he took out another leaf. “This is the other part of the flaws in your cultivation technique.”

“Thank you …” Mo Yuan’s eyes lit up in excitement.

Along the way, he had modified the cultivation technique based on the flaws that Zhang Xuan had given him previously, and he could feel the changes in his body. He felt stronger than before, and he was able to drive his energy much more smoothly.

Just this in itself showed that the flaws that Zhang Xuan had pointed out were true.

To be able to point out so many flaws in his cultivation with just a glance, Yang Xuan … was truly an unfathomable person!

Perhaps it was for this reason that his students were all extraordinary, especially Zhang Xuan. Despite being a realm lower than him, he was able to subdue Streak Ash so easily.

“You have just arrived at Twilight City, so you don’t have anywhere to stay, right? Why don’t you follow me back to the academy? I’ll arrange a place for you to stay,” Mo Yuan said after a moment of hesitation.

“There’s no need for that. There’s no need for us to trouble you. You should head back and rest as well!”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and rejected Mo Yuan’s offer.

The reason why they were traveling together was to find the nearest city. Since they were already here, there was no need for them to stay together.

After all, they had just plotted against Streak Ash. Even if the city lord was too embarrassed to return his storage ring and stolen Divine Coins, it was inevitable that he would come looking for them and ask them all sorts of questions.

Furthermore, they didn’t want their identities to be exposed.

They still hadn’t figured out the attitude of the Firmament toward ascendants yet, so it would be best for them to figure it out first.

“Alright then!” Hearing Zhang Xuan’s rejection, Mo Yuan thought that Zhang Xuan’s teacher had other plans in mind, so he quickly led his students away.

“Let’s go.”

Zhang Xuan nodded before leading the way.

Sun Qiang walked up to Zhang Xuan and asked, “Young Master, where are we going?”

“Let’s find a place to stay for the time being. After that, we’ll start gathering information on how to obtain the Aura of Divinity so that you can achieve a breakthrough,” Zhang Xuan said.

What they needed to do now was to find a way to obtain the Aura of Divinity so that they could achieve a breakthrough.

Only by achieving a breakthrough would they be able to protect themselves in this world. Otherwise, they would only be a burden to him.

“Alright!” Sun Qiang nodded.

Finding a place to stay was his specialty. It didn’t take long for them to find a place to stay. It was a spacious residence that was more than enough for them to live in.

The rent wasn’t too expensive either, only two Divine Coins per month.

It was only after renting the residence that Zhang Xuan realized how valuable Divine Coins were. A single Divine Coin could be exchanged for a thousand Faux God Coins.

A normal transaction could be completed with just Faux God Coins.

“Even though we won’t be able to achieve a breakthrough due to the lack of Aura of Divinity, the spiritual energy here is extremely beneficial to our cultivation. Everyone has been exhausted for the past few days, so let’s get some rest after cultivating for a while!”

By the time they arrived at the residence, four hours had already passed, and the sun was about to rise.

After making some arrangements, Zhang Xuan entered the room and sat down cross-legged.

Zhang Xuan took a look into his storage ring, and a moment later, a pile of pills and medicinal herbs appeared in his palm.

Most likely, they had been robbed by Streak Ash, but now, they were all in his hands.

Zhang Xuan placed each medicinal herb in his palm and touched them. It didn’t take him long to figure out their names.

They were indeed valuable, but he didn’t find the 【Mayang Beast Blood】 that he was looking for.

Since he had obtained the Greenbeast Ancient Grass, it was only right for him to look for it and find a way to raise his soul cultivation.

Even if he couldn’t reach the Celestial God realm that the Library of Heaven’s Path had mentioned, it would be good enough for him to reach high-tier God.

The more he learned about the Firmament, the more danger he felt.

Be it him, his students, or his parents, nothing could happen to them.

Zhang Xuan glanced at the pills in his storage ring. There were pills for healing injuries and spiritual energy replenishing pills.

He took out three bottles of spiritual energy replenishing pills.

God Essence Pill.

Consuming it would replenish one’s spirit energy.

Spirit energy referred to the divine energy in his body, the zhenqi of the Master Teacher Continent, and the immortal energy of the Azure.

Other than those items, there were also a few books in his storage ring. It didn’t take long for him to finish browsing through them. At this point, he had gained a deeper understanding of the Firmament.

Most of it was the same as what Mo Yuan had said.

It was just that the records in the books were more detailed.

Take the God Essence Pill for example. Due to the dissipation of spiritual energy, most of the medicinal herbs had died. Even though its effects weren’t that great, it was still extremely valuable. Each pill cost at least a Divine Coin, and there was no market for it.

Similar to the Immortal Energy Pill and Immortal Pill in the Azure, the God Essence Pill was used to raise a cultivator’s cultivation. It was also divided into four tiers, low-tier, middle-tier, high-tier, and pinnacle.

Ordinary God Essence Pills were sufficient for a low-tier God Essence Pill. Only Celestial Gods would require middle-tier God Essence Pills.

Let’s give it a try.

Zhang Xuan took out a pill and swallowed it. He drove his zhenqi to slowly assimilate the concentrated spiritual energy within the pill.

The cultivation technique that he had comprehended during his duel with Kong Shi’s clone, ‘Brotherhood, Mastery of Servitude’ began circulating within his body.

The two emotions of a master and a servant and a brother intertwined together to form a massive net that flowed within his body, forming a unique cultivation path. At the same time, it also felt like a brand new cultivation system that was different from all of the other cultivation techniques.

Under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, Zhang Xuan’s cultivation gradually stabilized. At the same time, his aura also grew stronger and stronger.
