Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2214

Zhang Xuan shook his head, “I’ve been used to being free and undisciplined since I was young. I hope Patriarch can forgive me, but I really can’t bear such a heavy responsibility …”

The reason he came to the Sky of Spirit Origin was to enter the Spirit God Palace, so there was no way he would be willing to become the clan head.

Not expecting Zhang Xuan to turn down his offer, the clan head was stunned for a moment. He was just about to probe further when the young man before him suddenly looked at him with a doubtful look on his face. “You said earlier that I have passed the Conferred God King Trial … Conferred God Kings need to undergo the Conferred God King Trial?”

He had thought that the reason why Conferred God Kings were so powerful was due to their high contributions, but if there was a test to determine their strength, it was clear that something was amiss.

“The so-called title is bestowed by the Emperor himself. They control the power of a region and bear the power of a region. The Anima of Yearning isn’t just a form of yearning. It’s extremely impure. In order to gain full control over it, one’s soul will have to become extremely resilient and powerful. In other words, one’s soul will have to reach God King realm pinnacle at the very minimum. Only then will one’s cultivation … ”

The clan head explained.

In order to control an area, there would be many ordinary people. Everyone had different thoughts, so naturally, there would be personal emotions mixed in with the Volition. If he wanted to make better use of it, he would have to get rid of all kinds of emotional baggage.

If one’s soul was not pure and powerful, it would be easy for one to fall into chaos.

Therefore, to obtain a title, one’s soul power had to be strong.

The young man before him was only a high-tier Celestial God, but his soul had already reached the level of a God King realm pinnacle. Just this in itself gave him a fifty percent chance of becoming a Conferred God King in the future!

The reason why the Inferno Phoenix Clan had been able to prosper so far was due to their Conferred Old Ancestor. If another Conferred Old Ancestor were to appear, there was no doubt that the Inferno Phoenix Clan would become the number one clan in the Sky of Spirit Origin, or perhaps even the Firmament!

“Thank you for your kindness …” Zhang Xuan shook his head.

Seeing how determined Zhang Xuan was, the clan head knew that it would be futile to dissuade him. Thus, he could only settle for the next best thing. “Why don’t we do this instead? There’s a stone phoenix statue outside of Spirit God Palace. Firstly, it controls the formation within the palace, and secondly, it’s used to test the strength of God Kings. Why don’t you give it a try?”

With the arrival of the Flood of Spiritual Energy, there was no power that would not want to increase the number of Conferred God Kings on their side. Given how powerful the young man’s soul was, even though he had yet to reach God King realm, as long as he could hold on for some time, their clan would be able to convince the other two clans to provide him with countless resources so that he could achieve a breakthrough.

If he were to succeed, not only would the Sky of Spirit Origin gain another powerful expert, but more importantly, the Inferno Phoenix Clan would become even more powerful.

Zhang Xuan hesitated.

“You have just won a slot through the bet with Feng Hanqiu. It just so happens that you’re about to head to the Spirit God Palace to take the test,” the clan head said.

“Alright …” Zhang Xuan was speechless.

It seemed that the other party had seen the conflict between him and Feng Hanqiu. The reason why he hadn’t tried to stop them was because he wanted to fight for a spot for the Inferno Phoenix Clan.

However, there was no harm in testing it out. After all, they were heading to the Spirit God Palace anyway.

The Spirit God Palace hovered above the Spirit Origin City. It followed behind the Clan Master for a while before arriving in front of him.

At this moment, there were already two other people standing outside the palace.

The patriarchs of the other two families.

“Feng Yuanchi, you’re saying that … his soul has already reached the peak of the Divine King realm?”

As soon as he arrived, the head of the Zhang Clan walked up to him with a displeased look in his eyes.

Patriarch of the Ice Phoenix Clan, Feng Hanxue.

It should have been their clan’s Feng Hanqiu who had entered the Spirit God Palace, but he was replaced by someone else. Not to mention, the other party suddenly had a God King and a soul realm pinnacle God King as well. No matter who it was, they would definitely be displeased.

“That’s right.” The head of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, Feng Yuanchi, nodded.

Feng Hanxue turned to look at Zhang Xuan, and he could sense that the latter’s soul was indeed unfathomable. Even he was unable to see through the latter’s soul, so he couldn’t do anything about it. “Let’s begin the test then. Let me say this first. The test for Conferred God Kings is extremely dangerous.

“Un.” Feng Yuanchi nodded. He turned to Zhang Xuan and sent him a telepathic message. “Your goal this time is to test whether you have the potential to become a Conferred God King so that we can apply for better resources for you. If you can’t hold on any longer, retreat immediately. Don’t push yourself too hard. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded. “How do I test it?”

“There’s a phoenix sculpture in front of you, and behind it is a star map that covers the entire Spirit Origin City. By tapping on your soul energy, you can light up a star map through the stone statue. If you can light up a star map, it means that you have the potential to become a Conferred God King.”

Feng Yuanchi pointed forward.

Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over and saw a massive stone sculpture of a phoenix standing right outside of Spirit God Palace. Behind it was an even larger star map.

From afar, it looked like a huge phoenix soaring in the sky, deep and distant.

There were innumerable stars on the star map, and there were no less than ten thousand of them.

Lighting up a hundred stars would grant him the right to become a Conferred God King … Wasn’t that a little too simple?

“Don’t think that it’s that simple. This stone statue contains the will of a God Monarch. Once one’s soul tries to reach it, one’s soul energy will be suppressed. Not only will it be difficult to pass through, it will be even more difficult to light up a star map with one’s remaining soul energy. I have tried it with the other two clan heads, but in the end … we weren’t able to light up a single star! ”

Seeing through Zhang Xuan’s thoughts, Feng Yuanchi chuckled awkwardly.

“I see.” Zhang Xuan nodded.

If it was that easy to become a Conferred God King, there wouldn’t be only three of them in the entire Spirit Origin City.

Since the three clan heads had come to an agreement, there was nothing else that could be done. Zhang Xuan quickly walked up to the stone statue and stretched his hand toward it.

As soon as his palm came into contact with the stone statue, he immediately felt a powerful pressure crushing down on him.

Zhang Xuan’s eyebrows shot up as he swiftly extended his soul energy toward the stone statue.

Boom!

A deafening sound echoed in his mind. It was as if a massive phoenix had suddenly appeared before him. Before it, Zhang Xuan’s powerful soul energy was as weak as a speck of dust.

“Pass through this phoenix?”

Zhang Xuan’s eyebrows shot up in astonishment.

It was indeed not as simple as he thought.

The pressure was simply too powerful. Even though he had just achieved a breakthrough in his soul energy, it would still be difficult for him to pass through it. In fact, it could even be said that it was an impossible task.

“Let’s give it a try then.”

Since he was already here, he might as well give it a try.

Above the God King realm was the Conferred God King realm. If he wanted to become a God Monarch like Kong Shi, he would have to clear this trial. Since that was the case, there was no reason for him to avoid it.

Zhang Xuan gathered his soul energy and extended it toward the phoenix.

“Hmm? Something’s not right … ”

A moment later, Zhang Xuan noticed that something was amiss.

He had thought that it would be more difficult for him to advance due to the pressure, but the closer he got to the phoenix, the more familiar he felt. It was as if the other party’s aura was extremely close to him.

Soon, he was finally able to pass through the pressure of the phoenix and arrive before the constellation.

With a thought, he tapped on one of the constellations.

Hu!

It was as if a switch had been flipped, and all the stars in the sky instantly began to shine brightly.

“They have all lit up … Is it really that simple?”

Zhang Xuan was stunned.
