Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2158

The person before him was seated in the lake, making it impossible for him to make out the appearance of the person before him. However, he could clearly feel the pressure that came from the depths of his soul.

It was a pressure that was impossible to avoid.

A God Monarch!

This was a feeling that only the Nine God Monarchs of the Nine Skies could give off. As a Conferred God King, there was no way he would be mistaken.

He had no idea who the person before him was, but regardless of who it was, he knew that he could not afford to offend him.

Without any hesitation, he kneeled onto the ground.

“A God Monarch?”

The two words were not loud, but they sounded like a thunderclap in everyone’s ears. The head of the Qi Clan and the elders behind him trembled in fear, not daring to even raise their heads.

The Qi Clan was formidable, but before a God Monarch, they could be wiped out with a single thought!

They were not even on the same level!

Padah!

Qi Xun-er’s legs buckled, and she collapsed to the ground.

She had thought that this was the perfect opportunity to kill Qi Ling-er, but who could have thought that the person who had entered the Lucid Lunar Lake would be a God Monarch?

Even a Conferred God King would not dare to say anything about such a person. In fact, it was an honor for her to be able to enter the Lucid Lunar Lake.

She could not believe her eyes. She quickly turned to look at the lake, and even though the spiritual energy was still gushing in, she was still able to see that the person seated in the lake was none other than Zhang Xuan.

He was the God Monarch?

Her eyes widened in shock, and the pain in her heart left her unable to breathe.

What did he mean by ‘ordinary’?

If that was the case, what was she?

Qi Ling-er was just an insignificant figure who had been banished to Twilight City. How could she possibly be related to a God Monarch? Furthermore, she was even able to invite the other party over?

“God Monarch?”

Everyone was shocked speechless. Zhang Xuan, who was in the midst of cultivating, was also stunned by those words.

“Did I … mistake him for someone else?”

The actions of the old man before him were in accordance with the will of the heavens, exerting pressure on one’s soul. It was so powerful that one would not dare to look him in the eye.

To think that such a formidable figure would be addressed as such …

Could it be that even a Conferred God King would have moments when he was mistaken?

Zhang Xuan lowered his voice and said, “You’re dismissed. I don’t like to be disturbed.”

Even though he didn’t know how the other party could have mistaken him for the God Monarch, it was best that the other party had mistaken him for someone else. This way, he wouldn’t be blamed for stealing the Lucid Lunar Lake.

Otherwise, given his current strength, he would have had no choice but to use his only golden page to crush the Conferred God King to death.

Hearing the words of the ‘God Monarch’, Old Ancestor Qi Meng didn’t dare to say anything else. He quickly beckoned the crowd over and left, fearing that another member of his tribe would barge in, so he went as far as to seal off the surroundings.

“I …” Qi Ling-er was at a loss for what to do.

He had thought that Young Master Zhang would come out of the Lucid Lunar Lake on his own accord after realizing that he was unable to cultivate. Who could have thought that he would cause such a huge commotion, alarming even the clan head and the old ancestor …

Alarmed by them, he thought that he would surely die … Who would have thought that such a turn of events would occur!

Emperor …

Previously, he had only thought that Zhang Xuan possessed the bloodline of a God Monarch and was a descendant of a God Monarch. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the other party was actually a God Monarch himself!

He had actually made a deal with the Celestial Emperor and even earned his money …

Qi Ling-er felt as if she was going insane.

“Come out! Don’t disturb the Emperor’s cultivation! ”

Seeing the state that Qi Ling-er was in, Old Ancestor Qi Meng frowned.

“Yes, Old Ancestor Qi Meng!” Since the old ancestor had personally issued the order, Qi Ling-er dared not say anything else.

After leaving the Lucid Lunar Lake, Old Ancestor Qi Meng arrived at a massive hall. After sealing off the surroundings with a formation, he turned to Qi Ling-er and asked, “What’s going on? Can anyone tell me what’s going on? ”

He couldn’t understand why the God Monarch would suddenly appear in the Lucid Lunar Lake.

“It’s like this …” Old Ancestor Qi told Old Ancestor Qi Meng about the matter regarding Qi Ling-er’s talent test.

“Are you the one who brought him here?” Old Ancestor Qi Meng asked.

“Old Ancestor, I only know that he possesses the bloodline of a God Monarch, but I didn’t know that he’s a God Monarch himself …” Qi Ling-er replied anxiously.

“Bloodline of a God Monarch?” Everyone was stunned.

Old Ancestor Qi Meng quickly turned his gaze over.

Qi Ling-er quickly recounted what had happened in the Netherworld Pool to Old Ancestor Qi Meng.

“God Monarchs are known for their many transformations. Sometimes, they would disguise themselves as ordinary mortals in order to live the life of an ordinary person … I heard that the God Monarch of the Sky of Freedom once suppressed his cultivation to descend to the lower worlds,” Old Ancestor Qi Meng said.

Old Ancestor Qi Meng nodded. “You were able to notice that something was amiss so quickly and come up with a countermeasure. From today onward, I’ll have Qi Xiao arrange better tasks for you and provide you with the best cultivation resources possible. You can’t be too lowly to work for a God Monarch! ”

Qi Xiao was the name of the head of the Qi Clan.

“Thank you, Old Ancestor Qi Meng!” Qi Ling-er bowed deeply.

Even now, she still couldn’t help but feel like she was dreaming.

Old Ancestor Qi Meng glanced at Qi Ling-er and said, “Alright, you should know what to say and what not to say. If I hear anyone gossiping, regardless of who they are, kill them on the spot!”

“Yes, Old Ancestor Qi Meng!”

Everyone shuddered upon hearing those words.

Meanwhile, Qi Ling-er burst into tears.

If only she had known that this would happen, she would have kept her mouth shut. Great, this time, she was doomed in the Qi Clan.

Even her elder brother wouldn’t be able to do much even if he became a God King. While she was relying on her God Monarch cultivation, the other party was relying on a God Monarch!

…

“Forget it!”

While those in the Lucid Lunar Lake were shocked and helpless, Zhang Xuan couldn’t be bothered to think too much about it. He continued cultivating.

Surge after surge of pure energy flowed into his body, inducing changes to his physical body.

Hu!

After some time, he finally came to a halt, unable to advance any further.

“High-tier Celestial God realm pinnacle …”

Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when he felt the strength of his physical body.

He had thought that it would be a miracle if his physical body could reach middle-tier God, but who could have thought that it would actually reach high-tier Celestial God realm pinnacle? He wasn’t too far away from becoming a God King!

With such a powerful physical body, he could be said to be invincible beneath God King realm in close combat. He finally had what it took to dominate the Firmament.

At this point, the energy in the Lucid Lunar Lake had also reached its limit, unable to advance any further.

“What are those golden threads?”

Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully.

He didn’t know what was going on with his cultivation this time, but thin golden lines had appeared in his muscles, running through his entire body. He couldn’t feel the power of this thing, but it gave him a feeling of endless vitality.

They were filled with vitality.

Knowing that this wasn’t the time to be studying them, Zhang Xuan walked out of the lake.

Tzzzzz!

With the zhenqi in his body gushing into the lake, Zhang Xuan swiftly dried his drenched clothes. He turned his gaze back to the lake, only to see that the surface of the lake had already calmed down. A moment later, the water rippled, and a little yellow chick swam back to the surface.

“He’s indeed fine …”

He had seen Little Chick being killed by Kong Shi’s clone before coming back to life, so he wasn’t too surprised to see the little yellow chick again.

“Your strength …”

Zhang Xuan was astonished to see Little Chick swimming over.

Little Chick had only been a low-tier God previously, but at this very moment, its aura felt like that of a Celestial God. After dying once, it managed to achieve a breakthrough to become a Celestial God.

He had put in so much effort to become a Celestial God, and yet, Little Chick had managed to do so with just a single death.

It was truly infuriating to compare a human to a chicken!

“I need to rest,” Little Chick said with a tired look on its face.

After saying those words, it dived back into his dantian.

“Alright, you should rest,” Zhang Xuan said. Knowing that Little Chick had just achieved a breakthrough, it was normal for it to be in such a state.

Regardless of why the Conferred God King had mistaken him for someone else, he had to face what he had to face.

Walking out of the seal, Zhang Xuan saw Old Ancestor Qi Meng, the head of the Qi Clan, and the others walking up to him.

“Paying respects to the God Monarch!”

Old Ancestor Qi Meng bowed deeply as he discreetly took a look at the young man before him. What he saw left him astonished.

He had clearly sensed the concentrated bloodline of a God Monarch in the lake earlier, but he could not feel it at all at this moment. It was as if the young man before him was no different from an ordinary person.

As expected of a God Monarch, it was impossible for ordinary people to see through his disguise.

“I used your Lucid Lunar Lake, so I’ll offer you a few pointers in return.”

Seeing that Old Ancestor Qi Meng was still misunderstanding his intentions, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Absorbing the energy from the Lucid Lunar Lake had damaged it significantly. As a master teacher, he could not possibly use the Lucid Lunar Lake for no good reason.

“This …” Old Ancestor Qi Meng was just about to turn down Zhang Xuan’s offer when he realized that the God Monarch would not owe them anything. Thus, he turned to the head of the Qi Clan, Qi Xiao, and said, “What are you waiting for?”

Hearing that Zhang Xuan was going to offer him pointers, Clan Head Qi Xiao immediately stood up in excitement and executed the battle technique that he had used earlier.

He had already learned the battle technique when Qi Ling-er executed it earlier.

It was only at this moment that he realized that the God Monarch was the one who had modified the battle technique. It was no wonder why there was not the slightest flaw in it.

“There isn’t much of a problem with your cultivation. It’s just that there are quite a few internal injuries in your body, preventing you from accumulating your strength to greater heights.”

Zhang Xuan explained.

Even God Kings were able to point out the flaws of their cultivation through the Library of Heaven’s Path.

In a sense, he was compensating for using the Lucid Lunar Lake.

“I’ll be leaving now.”

After saying those words, Zhang Xuan stood up.

“Qi Ling-er, you should leave with the God Monarch,” Old Ancestor Qi Meng said.

Not daring to say anything, Qi Ling-er quickly followed behind Zhang Xuan and left the room.

Seeing that Zhang Xuan had left, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief.

A long moment later, Clan Head Qi Xiao turned to Zhang Xuan and said, “Old Ancestor, the God Monarch only spoke about the flaws in my cultivation. He didn’t offer any pointers at all.”

What the God Monarch had said previously was only about the problems in his cultivation, not how he could resolve them.

“This is the God Monarch’s test for you. He pointed out your flaws so that you can find a way to correct them yourself. If he were to tell you how to correct them, wouldn’t that make you his direct disciple? Do you think that you’re worthy of it? ”

Old Ancestor Qi Meng harrumphed.

“I’m not worthy of it. I was thinking too much …” Clan Head Qi Xiao’s eyes narrowed in horror.

As expected of the God Monarch, his foresight was indeed profound. In the end, he was the one who had been too greedy.

“Un.” Old Ancestor Qi Meng nodded.

If he had any doubts about the God Monarch’s words earlier, all of them had vanished without a trace.

Only a God Monarch would possess such eye of discernment to see through a flaw that even he was unable to see through!

“Old Ancestor, may I know which of the Nine God Monarchs he is?” Clan Head Qi Xiao asked curiously.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to meet a few of the Nine God Monarchs of the Nine Skies, and I have a rough idea of their identities. If I’m not mistaken, he should be …”

Old Ancestor Qi Meng narrowed his eyes. “The Spirit God Monarch!”
