Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2134

Other than the Sky of Freedom, the Sky of Sword God was the most mysterious Sword Hut in the entire Firmament.

The palaces of the other Celestial Emperors were grand and majestic, but this was just an ordinary thatched hut. It did not look eye-catching at all.

“Emperor …”

A middle-aged man walked over and was about to say something, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted, “I already know that a sword genius has appeared on Sumeru Mountain!”

“Yes …” The middle-aged man nodded quickly.

“I’ve seen his swordsmanship. It’s very stunning and even different from ours. However … he’s not the person that the Sword Hut is waiting for!”

The voice in the cottage said faintly.

“But … the Bell of Conferred Kings has sounded …” The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly added, “If we don’t hurry up, we’ll be taken away by the other powers. If that happens, our Sword Hut will be given fewer slots in the next Flood of Spiritual Energy, and our conferred lands will be taken away as well …”

“It doesn’t matter if the quota is small. It doesn’t matter if the fief is taken away. What we want is a kind of sword intent and comprehension that belongs to us. We don’t want rigid learning!”

The voice in the cottage said, “No matter how well you learn, it’s just an imitation. Don’t worry about the Spiritual Energy Tide. If I’m not mistaken, the person I’m waiting for has already appeared. I’ll look for him personally!”

“Yes …”

Seeing that the God Monarch had his own plans, the middle-aged man bowed deeply and took his leave.

“Sigh!”

After the middle-aged man left, a sigh could be heard in the thatched cottage. It sounded like a sigh, but it was also filled with confusion and doubt. “Is what you did right or wrong?”

…

On a mountain surrounded by clouds, a tall old man looked at the many disciples sitting in front of him.

Mysterious words flowed out of his mouth. To the ears of the crowd, it was like heavenly music. His cultivation base also continued to improve as he listened to the words.

“Alright, that’s all for today!”

Suddenly, the old man stopped and looked in a certain direction.

“Teacher, what happened?” A middle-aged man saw that something was wrong. He bowed and cupped his fists, showing the proper etiquette as he asked.

Under normal circumstances, the teacher would finish lecturing on a topic before ending the lesson. However, he had stopped halfway through the lecture. It was obvious that something had happened.

“That person from the Sky of Freedom has already decided on a date. He’ll be dueling with me on the fifteenth of next month,” the old man said with a smile. It was as if he was talking about someone else.

He did not feel the slightest bit of pressure from the duel.

“The Sky of Freedom is the leader of the Nine Skies, and it rules over the Myriad Worlds. If teacher were to challenge that God Monarch, I’m afraid that …” the middle-aged man said worriedly.

Even though she was confident in her teacher’s strength, the Sky of Freedom was still the number one Sky of the Firmament, and the God Monarch of the Sky of Freedom was also known as the number one expert of the Firmament.

Most importantly, the Life-and-Death Duel between the two of them was completely different from the previous duel.

“It doesn’t matter!” The old man still had a smile on his face as he stroked his beard. “Since it’s a duel, there will naturally be winners and losers. No one will always win, and no one will always lose! Just do your best. ”

“But … in order to fight with you, the other party specially descended to the Lower Dimension to search for the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn. His goal is to learn more about teacher and learn more about your strength. I fear that if he were to agree to the duel now, he would have already found out about teacher’s flaws. If he were to make a mistake in a duel between two experts of the same cultivation realm, he would be in grave danger,” the middle-aged man said anxiously.

Teacher challenged that person from the Sky of Freedom. At first, the other party didn’t agree. Later on, that person went to the Lower Realm and set a date when she returned. It was obvious that she was already prepared.

In a duel between experts, if the other party were to find out about his teacher’s flaws, he would be in grave danger.

“So what if he found my flaws? It won’t be that easy to defeat me! “the old man said confidently.

Having successfully challenged so many God Monarchs along the way, his strength had already reached the pinnacle of the Firmament.

“Of course, we have faith in teacher’s strength. However, I don’t understand why you insist on dueling with that person, and why you have to make a Life-and-Death Duel with him …”

The middle-aged man asked in bewilderment.

His teacher had already earned the acknowledgement of the Eight God Monarchs, making him the Heaven Subjugation Monarch. Why would he insist on dueling with the God Monarch of the Sky of Freedom?

More importantly, why did he have to make a Life-and-Death Duel with him?

“This is fate. We can’t avoid it. You don’t understand …” The old man shook his head. “Alright, in the tournament next month, if I were to fall, just wait here quietly. Don’t do anything. Wait for my successor to appear and listen to his instructions!”

“Successor? Teacher’s successor? “the middle-aged man asked in bewilderment.

They had been following their teacher since a long time ago, but they had never heard of a successor before.

“Indeed. He possesses the same ability as me, and he’s also from the Master Teacher Continent,” the old man replied with a smile.

“Then … May I know the name of teacher’s successor? How can we confirm that it’s him? “the middle-aged man asked.

“There’s no need for that. You’ll be able to recognize him as soon as you see him.”

The old man replied with a deep look in his eyes. “As for his name … I can tell you that he’s called … Zhang Xuan!”

…

In an unknown room in the Sky of Freedom …

Thick steam filled the room, making it difficult for one to see what was going on.

Huala!

With the sound of flowing water, a flawless figure stood up from the water.

Her jet-black hair, her delicate skin, and her peerlessly beautiful face …

With a wave of her hand, a thin veil covered her body, concealing her lithe figure.

“Young Mistress!”

A green-robed lady walked up to her and passed a comb over.

The beautiful lady slowly combed her hair, and her every movement was reminiscent of a painting unfurling.

“Has the news spread?”

The beautiful lady asked.

“Yes,” the green-robed lady replied.

“Has there been any response?”

“Not at the moment.” The green-robed lady pondered for a moment before replying, “However, we did manage to find out about the matter that Young Mistress asked us to look into.”

“Oh?” The beautiful lady’s eyes lit up as she turned her gaze over.

“There’s a young man named Zhang Xuan in Twilight City. Many of his disciples are quite talented, and while they were searching for the Aura of Divinity on the Celestial Mountain, they managed to trigger quite a few Bells of Conferred Kings.

The green-robed lady replied.

“It seems like it’s him …” the beautiful lady remarked with a sweet smile.

Seeing how the beautiful lady before her was behaving, the green-robed lady asked anxiously, “Young Mistress, do you want to pay him a visit?”

“There’s no need for that. I have to prepare for the upcoming battle, so I can’t meet anyone, especially him. Otherwise, I fear that I might lose my confidence in the upcoming battle.” The beautiful lady shook her head with a conflicted look on her face.

“If Young Mistress wavers, we’ll just have to give up on the battle. That Heaven Subjugation Monarch is extremely powerful, such that even eight God Monarchs have lost to him. I’m afraid that Young Mistress …” the green-robed lady said worriedly.

While the Young Mistress’s strength was unrivaled in the Firmament, the other party was no pushover either.

In just forty years, his name had already spread throughout the Firmament, and there was no one who did not know of him. He had challenged the Eight God Monarchs, and while no one knew the details of the battle, it was clear that he had won eight out of eight battles.

In terms of the entire Firmament, there was no one who could match him.

Given how powerful he was, all they had to do was avoid him. In fact, even if they were to fight, it would not be surprising for them to win or lose. Why would they insist on a life-and-death duel?

“There’s no other way. I have to kill him. This is my duty, and I can’t shirk away from it,” the beautiful lady said with a shake of her head.

“But …” the green-robed lady exclaimed anxiously.

“There’s no need for buts. I’ve already made up my mind, so there’s no point in saying anything else,” the beautiful lady said with a wave of her hand. “Alright, I’ll be going into seclusion now.”

After saying those words, she disappeared from the spot.

“Young Mistress …” Not expecting the young mistress to be so stubborn, the green-robed lady eventually nodded her head and fell silent.
