Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2131

It had sparred with Zhang Xuan back in the valley, and it had found out that its physical body was far stronger than the other party’s. As for its zhenqi and soul, they were still incredibly weak. However, after several dozen seconds of seclusion, not only had Zhang Xuan’s cultivation improved significantly, more importantly, he had also managed to fuse his spirit, physical body, and zhenqi together perfectly.

Zhang Xuan turned to look at Sun Qiang, thinking that he would be as shocked as he was, only to see the latter’s nonchalant expression.

It was as if he was not surprised by the sight before him at all.

In other words, Zhang Xuan’s short period of cultivation was within Zhang Xuan’s expectations.

Just what kind of master did I find myself, and what kind of a group is this?

Just as Zhang Xuan was wondering what was going on, a thin little chick suddenly appeared on his shoulder.

“You’re awake?” Zhang Xuan asked with a nod.

“Un. Didn’t you get quite a few God Essence Pills? I want to eat them … “Little Chick said as it drooled.

“Audacious! As a tamed beast, how can you demand something that the Young Master refuses to give you?” Zhang Jia frowned.

It did not know why the Young Master was raising a chicken, but as a tamed beast, it was natural for one to behave like a tamed beast. How could the Young Master ask for food as soon as he opened his mouth? If all tamed beasts behaved in such a manner, how could the Young Master still have any dignity left?

“Who are you?” Little Chick turned to look at Zhang Xuan with a smile. “So, you’re a Phosphor Armored Beast. You should taste pretty good …”

Hu!

Little Chick opened its beak.

Before Zhang Jia could even process what was going on, it had already been swallowed whole.

“Hurry up and spit it out! This is the tamed beast that I have just tamed …” Not expecting the fellow to cause trouble as soon as it appeared, Zhang Xuan leaped in fright and slapped the little chick’s head.

If that was the case, he might as well continue sleeping.

Pu!

Hearing its master’s words, Little Chick could only obediently spit Zhang Jia out.

At this moment, Zhang Jia had already reverted back to his original appearance. The thought of being eaten by a low-tier God made him furious. With a savage look on his face, he bellowed, “How dare you eat me? I’ll kill you!”

Roaring furiously, he charged right at Zhang Jia.

Zhang Xuan was just about to stop Little Chick when he saw Little Chick looking at him with a look of enjoyment. “Come and kill me. If you don’t, you are a coward …”

“You …” The Phosphor Armored Beast was frenzied.

In just a few dozen breaths, Young Master’s true qi and soul had broken through two major realms. I’ll endure it. You’re just a chicken, so what are you being so arrogant for?

Bang!

Zhang Xuan’s thick hoof stomped on Little Chick’s body, crushing it into the ground. Raising its leg, Zhang Xuan lowered its head to take a look, only to see that the little fellow was still alive. Instead, it was crossing its legs with a relaxed look on its face. “Strength … Didn’t you eat?”

“…” Zhang Jia was driven mad once more.

After a few consecutive kicks, the courtyard wall collapsed in several places, and several large pits appeared in the ground. In the end, this chick, which looked like it would die at any time, still had a lazy appearance and was unscathed.

“Master …” No matter how foolish he was, it was clear that the young man before him was no ordinary low-tier God. Reverting back to his human form, Zhang Jia turned to look at Zhang Xuan.

“Well, don’t make trouble, Chick, if you want to die, I will take you to the City Lord’s Mansion later to see if there is any other way!” Zhang Xuan said.

After being burned by fire twice, Little Chick had deduced that the growth of its strength was related to death. Thus, it had been seeking death ever since it woke up.

Little Chick patted the dust off its body with its wings before returning to Zhang Xuan’s shoulder.

Even though it did not achieve much of a breakthrough after waking up from the spatial storm, its defense had become much stronger than before. Even Zhang Jia would not be able to kill it that easily.

“Alright, there’s no need to be depressed. I’m a legendary beast, so it’s normal for you to be unable to kill me. Just obediently become my lackey!” Little Chick said as it glanced at Zhang Jia.

“Become your lackey?” Zhang Jia harrumphed coldly. “Even if I can’t kill you, you can’t kill me. You want me to become your lackey? Dream on!”

“Dream on?” Little Chick chuckled. Its eyes suddenly opened, and a powerful aura burst forth from it.

This was the bloodline power of a divine beast!

Padah!

Zhang Jia kneeled to the ground. “Big Brother!”

“That’s more like it …” Little Chick nodded in satisfaction.

Zhang Jia wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

He had thought that Little Chick was just an ordinary chick, but who could have known that the power of its bloodline would make him feel as if the world was collapsing around him? In comparison, the bloodline that it was so proud of was nothing at all!

Just what kind of divine beast was it?

Zhang Jia felt as if his worldview had crumbled.

He had thought that it would be beneath him to become the tamed beast of a Celestial God like him, but at this moment, he realized that he was actually trying to climb up the social ladder!

“The Celestial Mountain is very far away from Twilight City, and it’s shrouded in a seal left behind by a God Monarch. It’s impossible to get there through normal means.

Paying no heed to Little Chick and the Phosphor Armored Beast, Zhang Xuan listened attentively to Sun Qiang’s explanation.

He had heard of the Celestial Mountain before, but he had no idea where it was or where he could obtain the Aura of Divinity.

“Every year, every city has a quota, and those who obtain the quota will be teleported to the Celestial Mountain. There, they will find a way to find the Aura of Divinity and absorb it to achieve a breakthrough. Naturally, there are also failures. Many people have been to the Celestial Mountain several times, but none of them have succeeded … ”

Sun Qiang revealed the information that he had gathered.

“Let’s head over to take a look. It shouldn’t be too difficult for Zhao Ya and the others to obtain the Aura of Divinity,” Zhang Xuan said.

Even though Zhao Ya and the others were only at Semi-Divinity realm, they had spent quite some time on the Master Teacher Continent and the Azure. As such, their fighting experience and fighting prowess far surpassed those who had grown up in the Firmament.

It was possible for others to fail, but he did not believe that they would fail.

If they really failed, they would not be worthy of being his students!

“You should follow behind them as well. Try to achieve a breakthrough to godhood as soon as possible,” Zhang Xuan instructed.

“Alright,” Sun Qiang replied with a nod.

Thus, the group began making their way over to the City Lord Manor.

The teleportation point was located at the square outside the City Lord Manor. In less than two hours, they arrived at the square, and it was already packed with people.

Twilight City was not a large city in the Firmament, but it still had a quota of 1,200 people. On top of that, there were also many relatives and friends who had come to send them off. As spacious as the square was, it was still packed with people.

“Young Master Zhang Xuan, this way, please!”

As soon as they arrived at the square, the middle-aged man from before, Ying Fei, walked up to them respectfully.

Along with Zhao Ya and the others, Ying Fei quickly followed Ying Fei into a room.

City Lord Wu Fangqing was in the room. Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, he stood up with a smile and said, “Young Master Zhang Xuan, please take a seat.”

Zhang Xuan took a look around and realized that the room was already filled with people. There were at least thirty of them.

There were also a few people seated beside Wu Fangqing. They emanated powerful auras, and it was clear that they were not weak.

With a single look, it was clear that they were of high standing in Twilight City.

Zhang Xuan walked over to the seat beside Wu Fangqing and took a seat.

As soon as he sat down, a middle-aged man standing not too far away looked at him with a perplexed look. “City Lord Wu, why aren’t you introducing this friend over here?”

The others also turned their gazes over.

Wu Fangqing was not the only one who was curious.

The seat that the city lord had offered up was much higher than theirs. If it had been a renowned elder in the city, they would have acknowledged it. However, the young man before them just happened to be too young, and he did not seem to be too strong either.

“This is Young Brother Zhang Xuan. He brought a group of students into the Celestial Mountain!”

Wu Fangqing gestured to Zhao Ya and the others.

“Students?”

The crowd grew even more curious. They turned to look at Zhao Ya and the others with deep frowns on their faces.

Even the youngest among them was already eighteen or nineteen, and they had yet to achieve a breakthrough to become a god. Their talents were nothing to scoff at!

“City Lord Wu, I know that you have your reasons for arranging the seating arrangement, but there are so many people in Twilight City watching us, so it’s only natural that we have to abide by the rules. If Young Brother Zhang is strong, we’ll respect him. If his students are strong, we’ll have nothing to say about it. Isn’t it a little inappropriate for us to do this?”

The middle-aged man who had spoken earlier said.

“What’s going on here? We spent quite a sum of money to get this seat! I don’t think that Young Brother Zhang was present during the auction back then, right? I don’t think that it’s appropriate for him to arrange the seating arrangement in front of us! ”

Another middle-aged man said.

“Seating arrangement?”

Zhang Xuan frowned.

He had only come to the Celestial Mountain on the invitation of the city lord, but he did not think that there would be such a thing as seating arrangements.

Perplexed, he turned to look at Wu Fangqing, and the latter sent a telepathic message over. “Young Master Zhang Xuan, I apologize for not telling you about this beforehand. The Celestial Mountain is a mountain range, and the closer one is to the peak, the greater the chance of obtaining the Aura of Divinity. Those at the foot of the mountain will have a much lower chance of obtaining the Aura of Divinity. The Celestial Mountain opens once every half a year, and all of the Semi-Divinity realm cultivators in the Firmament who have yet to achieve a breakthrough will be able to enter.

“As such, there is a group of people who are teleported directly to the middle of the mountain or even the peak. Those who are teleported here have a much higher chance of obtaining the Aura of Divinity than ordinary cultivators.

“However, there’s a limit to the number of slots in each city. For the sake of fairness, the City Lord Manor will auction off the slots at the top of the mountain every half a year, and they are the ones who have bought the slots!”

Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.

There were only 120 slots in the entire Twilight City, so it was unlikely that many of them would be able to reach the middle of the mountain. There was no one in Zhang Xuan’s position who would allow him to use up thirteen slots on his first visit!

“I’m sorry, but if your juniors aren’t able to reach the middle of the mountain, I’ll return the money you have spent in the auction.”

After explaining the situation, Wu Fangqing clasped his fist awkwardly.

It would have been one thing if Zhang Xuan was an ordinary cultivator, but there was a good chance that he was a descendant of a God Monarch. Even he dared not offend the other party.

“This isn’t about the money. It’s about the rules! ”

The middle-aged man who had spoken first harrumphed coldly. “How about this? If his students are able to defeat the juniors of our clan, I won’t pursue this matter any further. If they aren’t able to do so, I’ll have to ask them to apologize to us and scram to the back!”

Wu Fangqing frowned, but before he could reply, Zhang Xuan had already spoken up. “Very well.”

After saying those words, he turned to Zhao Ya and the others and asked, “Who wants to go first?”

“Allow me!”

Sun Qiang stepped forward, and the muscles on his plump body jiggled.
