Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2137

A teacher for a day, a father for life.

Under the influence of the Master Teacher Continent, the relationship between him and his students was extremely stable. This was especially so for Zhao Ya and the others, who had gone through countless trials and tribulations with him. There was no selfishness in their relationship. Even if they weren’t family, they were more than family.

This feeling contained pity, love, reluctance, expectation, and gratification … These feelings had always filled his chest, slowly fermenting like strong wine.

Zhang Xuan knew that it would take some time for him to comprehend the Heaven’s Path Divine Art, but he wasn’t in a hurry to do so. Instead, he continued to learn more about the Firmament, and his understanding of the Firmament gradually deepened.

After an unknown period of time, a voice called out from not far away, “Young Master!”

When he turned around, he saw that the two Sword Saints, Sun Qiang and Xing Meng, had already appeared in front of him.

Not only had they managed to achieve a breakthrough in their cultivation, but they had also become high-tier Gods just like him. Furthermore, their cultivation was even higher than his, reaching pinnacle Gods.

More importantly, the sword qi that surged around his body gave off an unfathomable feeling.

“This sword technique …” Zhang Xuan frowned.

In terms of swordsmanship, he had created the Myriad Knots, and his understanding of swordsmanship had already surpassed the level of the Heavenly Dao. With a single glance, he could tell that the swordsmanship that the three of them cultivated was completely different from before.

Take Sword Saint Xingmeng as an example. In the past, his swordsmanship had been infused with the effects of time, and his swordsmanship emphasized on the combination of speed and speed, as well as the fusion of yin and yang. However, at this very moment, his swordsmanship was infused with a sense of protection.

Protecting, not defending.

Defense was like a tortoise shell, airtight. As for defense, it carried a counterattack, killing everything that was dangerous under the sword in advance.

Guarding with all his heart, unswerving until death.

“Is this the sword technique of the Heavenly Sword God?” Zhang Xuan asked in confusion.

“It’s a sword technique imparted to me by an expert from the Sky of Heavenly Sword. When you were young, you suffered all kinds of disasters. We didn’t give you the care and love that real parents can give. Now, even if we die, we will protect you and not let you come to any harm! ”

Sword Saint Meng’s eyes were filled with benevolence.

To have her bloodline forcefully extracted from her child as soon as she was born was the greatest pain in her life. Coincidentally, the Sword Intent of the Sky of Heavenly Swords was compatible with her state of mind, which was why she was able to advance by leaps and bounds. In less than a day, not only had her swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds, she had also achieved a breakthrough in her cultivation.

Zhang Xuan looked at his father. Although he didn’t say anything, the look in his eyes was the same as his mother’s. He steeled his heart and didn’t waver.

He looked at Sun Qiang, only to see him chuckling and scratching his head awkwardly. “Young Master, you are my backer. Of course, I have to protect you. Otherwise, how can I show off? How do you show off in front of others? ”

Zhang Xuan chuckled.

Even though the trio’s swordsmanship was already a little inferior to his, their fighting prowess had indeed increased.

Furthermore, from the looks of it, his strength was faintly discernible, as if he could achieve a breakthrough at any moment.

With a Celestial God tier tamed beast, four high-tier Gods, and Little Chick, whose strength was still unknown to him, he could be considered to have the strength to stand his ground in the Firmament.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan asked, “City Lord Wu, may I know if … you have heard of the Spirit God?”

There was no record of the Spirit God in the books that he had read earlier, so there was no doubt that Lozosy was in the Firmament. Previously, he had been too weak, so he didn’t dare to ask too many questions out of fear that trouble might befall him. However, there was no point in staying in Twilight City any longer.

To be able to cross the barrier between the Firmament and the Firmament, his girlfriend had to be a God King at the very least, or even a Conferred God King.

If that was the case, it should be easy for him to find her in the Firmament.

While Mo Yuan might not know, the city lord before him was bound to know something.

“Spirit God?” Wu Fangqing was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. “I have never heard of it before. The Firmament is vast and boundless, and there are countless experts in it. There are quite a few names that I have never heard of before. May I know if the person you are talking about has any special moves or battle techniques that she specializes in? ”

There were many people in the Firmament who had nicknames, such as the God Monarch of the Sky of Drifting Specter. Some called him the Qiankun Monarch, while others called him the Qiankun Demon Emperor or the Qiankun Monarch.

Even though he had never heard of the Spirit God before, he should be able to deduce a thing or two if he knew what she specialized in.

“She specializes in … rituals. Through rituals, she can teleport … “Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before replying.

Back when he had met Luo Ruoxin on the Master Teacher Continent, the cultivation techniques and battle techniques that she had used back then were all within the range of the Master Teacher Continent. She could not be considered to be the most proficient cultivator on the Master Teacher Continent, so it did not matter whether she told him or not.

However, for a Spiritual God, the ability to perform interplanar teleportation through sacrifice was definitely an extremely powerful ability.

From the books that he had read earlier, he knew that not even Conferred God Kings were capable of such a feat.

“Teleportation?” Wu Fangqing replied. “In the Firmament, only God Monarchs are capable of such a feat. Not even Conferred God Kings are capable of such a feat. That’s not something that I’m qualified to comment on. As for rituals, I don’t know much about the other eight Skies, but our Sky of Drifting Specter specializes in it. The Celestial Gods and God Kings of the Royal Capital are even able to gather the souls of the dead through rituals … ”

“The Sky of Drifting Specter specializes in rituals?” Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

“That’s right. Every single city in the Sky of Drifting Specter has a Netherworld Pool, and Twilight City has one as well. It’s capable of absorbing the Anima of Yearning emanated by the living beings in the city and reuniting the souls of the deceased heroes. Even though it’s extremely slow, it’s doable … ”

Wu Fangqing said.

“Absorbing the Power of Will? Gathering heroic spirits? This … How do they converge? What’s the Power of Will? “Zhang Xuan was confused.

It involved the secrets of the Sky of Drifting Specter, so there was no record of it in the books that he had read.

“Willpower is actually just longing and wishes!” Knowing that the young man before him was no ordinary figure, Wu Fangqing decided not to hide anything from him. “It’s just like how a person’s father has passed away. As a descendant, it’s inevitable that he would wish for his father to stay behind, and this will result in a kind of Anima of Yearning. This kind of Anima of Yearning is able to allow one’s soul to materialize in the Netherworld Pool, and it might even allow one to regain one’s consciousness!”

“However, this gathering of souls is a long-term process. It can take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. The lifespan of an ordinary person is not that long. Once they die, it will stop. Once no one remembers them anymore, it will come to a complete halt. Thus, even with the Netherworld Pool, it’s impossible for an ordinary person to be revived. However, this is different for the kin of a God King.

“Due to their extremely long lifespan, the Power of Will of Will won’t be interrupted, so it’s possible for them to be revived. On top of that, the Sky of Drifting Specter will help erect ancestral halls for Celestial Gods and God Kings who have made significant contributions to the Netherworld Pool. Even though the amount of Anima of Will that the descendants of the Netherworld Pool pay tribute to them isn’t that great, it’s still useful over time. ”

“I see …” Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.

He did not think that the Sky of Drifting Specter would have such an ability. To be able to use the Power of Will of Will to revive the souls of those who had died … This was truly an incredible feat!

“You mean to say that as long as the deceased is remembered, there’s a good chance that they’ll be able to live eternally in the Netherworld Pool?” Sword Saint Meng asked.

“You can put it that way.” Wu Fangqing nodded.

As long as the deceased was remembered, the Power of Will of Will would remain, and the heroic spirits in the Netherworld Pool wouldn’t perish. Even though they wouldn’t be able to regain their consciousness and form, they would still be able to live eternally.

“The prerequisite is that the deceased needs to place their belongings into the Netherworld Pool so that they can slowly gather their souls. Otherwise, it’s impossible!” Wu Fangqing explained.

“That’s right. Other than the Sky of Drifting Specter, are there any other powers that specialize in performing rituals? ”

Zhang Xuan asked.

“I’m not too sure about that. If you really wish to find out more, you’ll have to head to Drifting Specter Royal City. There are people from all walks of life there, and if you wish to obtain more information, you’ll have to look for the underground black market there. Speaking of which, Qi Ling-er, whom you have business dealings with, is from Royal City. She should be able to provide you with the information you need!”

Wu Fangqing said.

“Thank you.” Zhang Xuan nodded.

His parents and Sun Qiang had successfully achieved a breakthrough to the god realm, and his students had been taken away by the Nine God Monarchs. Thus, Zhang Xuan returned to his residence and instructed Sun Qiang to send a message to Qi Ling-er. In less than fifteen minutes, he arrived at his residence.

“Young Master Zhang!”

Qi Ling-er greeted him respectfully.

Even though she had no idea which power Zhang Xuan belonged to, she knew that he was not someone whom a small figure like her could stand up to.

“Un. I would like to ask you something. Have you heard of the name ‘Spirit God’ or ‘Lozosy’ before?”

Zhang Xuan asked. There was nothing for him to hide, so he went straight to the point.

Qi Ling-er pondered for a moment before shaking her head. “I don’t think so.”

“Do you have any sources that you can help me look into this matter?” Zhang Xuan asked.

“I’m afraid that I’ll have to return to Royal City first. Twilight City is simply too remote. Even if I want to look into it, I won’t be able to do so,” Qi Ling-er replied.

“Alright then. I’ll have to trouble Miss Qi to accompany us to Royal City. May I know if Miss Qi has the time?” Zhang Xuan nodded.

Even the strongest cultivator in Twilight City, Wu Fangqing, was only a low-tier Celestial God. If he wanted to improve his cultivation and gather more information, he would have to head to a larger city. Drifting Specter Royal City was the closest and most suitable choice.

He was not familiar with this place, so if he could bring Qi Ling-er along, things would be much easier for him.

“Since Young Master Zhang has asked, I’m more than willing to accompany you,” Qi Ling-er replied with a nod.

She had been thinking about how she could forge a good relationship with Zhang Xuan. If she could bring him along to Royal City, their relationship would surely improve.

“However …” Qi Ling-er hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“However what? As long as it’s within my means, I won’t turn you down, “Zhang Xuan replied.

There was a price to pay for troubling the other party, so it was not a big deal for him to give her what she wanted.

“Actually, it’s not that big of a deal. It’s fine as long as Young Master Zhang says so. We’ll talk about it once we reach Royal City. It’s fine even if Young Master Zhang doesn’t agree to it. ”

Qi Ling-er paused for a moment before replying.

“Alright then,” Zhang Xuan nodded.

Since Qi Ling-er was unwilling to do so, there was no need for him to force her.

“How far is Royal City from here? How do we get there? “Sun Qiang asked.

“Drifting Specter Royal City is at least ten million li away from here. If we were to rely on aerial celestial beasts, it would be impossible for us to get there. It just so happens that there’s one in Twilight City as well! ”

Qi Ling-er replied with a smile.

“Teleportation Formation?” Zhang Xuan frowned.

There’s one in Twilight City? Why haven’t I heard of it before?
