Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2220

“Don’t use your zhenqi to resist the gray energy!”

With Feng Jiuge’s experience, he knew that the gray energy was devouring his zhenqi. Thus, Zhang Xuan walked up to Luo Qiqi and pointed his finger forward.

Even her Heaven’s Path zhenqi was unable to withstand the gray energy, let alone the zhenqi that she cultivated. The more she resisted, the faster her zhenqi would be depleted.

Zhang Xuan infused his Pathos of Heaven zhenqi into Luo Qiqi’s body, sealing the gray energy that was devouring her zhenqi.

After swallowing some recovery pills, Zhang Xuan drove his Heaven’s Path Divine Art and infused his Heaven’s Path zhenqi into Luo Qiqi’s body.

With a burst of green light, the gray energy was swiftly dissipated.

Without the gray energy, Luo Qiqi regained her strength, but her face was still pale, and her eyes were filled with horror.

If not for Zhang Xuan’s swift reflexes, not only would the gray aura have devoured his cultivation, it would have even corroded his soul.

Perhaps, she would have become an Otherworldly Demon just like the other gods in Spirit Origin City.

Back then, Feng Jiuge was still a distance away from the distorted space, but he was still unable to make a comeback for two years. In the end, he was chased out of the clan. The gray energy that had formed a barrier was at least a thousand times denser than the gray energy that Zhang Xuan had absorbed into his body.

“Don’t cultivate or absorb any energy here. The gray energy will be extremely troublesome once it seeps into your body.”

Zhang Xuan instructed.

Luo Qiqi and Little Chick nodded in agreement.

After what had happened earlier, they finally understood how fearsome the gray energy was.

Even with Little Chick’s rebirth ability, it was still unable to deal with it.

“My Pathos of Heaven zhenqi doesn’t fear the gray energy. Does this mean that I can withstand it?”

As long as it was a power cultivated by the heavens of the God World, there was nothing that could stand up to it. His Pathos of Heaven zhenqi had surpassed the heavens, and he had come into contact with it before. It was clear that his zhenqi was the only way to pass through this region.

Thus, he wrapped his Pathos of Heaven zhenqi around his arm and infused it into the gray energy.

The gray energy was parted, and his arm was completely unharmed.

“It works …” Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan turned to Luo Qiqi and Little Chick and said, “Stay closer to me.”

After saying those words, he released his zhenqi to form a barrier around him.

Luo Qiqi and the little chick entered the barrier.

Zhang Xuan walked in.

Tss tss tss!

The grey mist kept attacking, emitting a corrosive sound, but it was unable to break through the power of the energy barrier.

After taking a few steps forward, Zhang Xuan noticed that Luo Qiqi and the little chick were unharmed. Heaving a sigh of relief, he continued walking forward. However, less than a minute later, he suddenly stopped and began backing away.

“What happened?”

Luo Qiqi frowned.

After leaving the range of the gray gas, Zhang Xuan took off the gas shield and panted heavily.

In just three minutes, he had completely depleted the Pathos of Heaven zhenqi in his body.

Even though the gray energy flow was unable to destroy the Pathos of Heaven’s true energy, there were simply too many of them. Under the intense pressure, it was extremely taxing on one’s true energy.

On top of that, his Pathos of Heaven zhenqi reserves had yet to recover. Given the current circumstances, it would be impossible for him to pass through this region.

“The only thing I can do now is to fill up my dantian. If I can make a breakthrough to God King, that would be for the best!”

Zhang Xuan sat on the spot for an hour before he finally recovered. He rubbed his glabella in distress.

His dantian was originally filled with Heaven’s Path zhenqi, but it had all dissipated into green light. He needed to fill it up as soon as possible.

Only with sufficient zhenqi would he be able to pass through this region.

Otherwise, if he were to run out of zhenqi midway through, he would really be at a loss for what to do.

However, he had only obtained three pinnacle God Essence Pills from Fu Jiangchen, and he had fed the last one to Luo Qiqi as well. If he wanted to replenish his zhenqi ocean, it would be difficult for him to do so without sufficient spiritual energy.

“If it comes down to it, I’ll just have to eat the Pill King!”

Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly as a glint flashed across his eyes.

The Pill King that contained the most concentrated spiritual energy in his possession was definitely a treasure that could tempt even Conferred God Kings. If he consumed it, not only would he be able to fill up his dantian, he might even be able to push for a breakthrough to God King!

Just that …

He had yet to comprehend the God King realm cultivation technique!

The Pill King was his greatest trump card for a breakthrough to God King realm. If he failed to achieve a breakthrough, it could very well go to waste.

“I have already comprehended the bond between master and servant, brotherly bond, and teacher-student bond … If I’m not mistaken, the next realm should be the bond between parent and child!”

Zhang Xuan sat on the ground and pondered.

He had been an orphan in his previous life, and he had not spent much time with his parents in this life either. As such, he had already come up with a way to advance to God King realm, but he had not been able to make any headway.

Due to his inability to comprehend it, he had not been able to come up with a solution either.

Left with no choice, he could only give it a try.

The time he had spent with the Xingmeng Sword Saints surfaced in his mind.

In order to find him, his parents had gone through countless hardships. They were willing to do anything for him, even putting their lives on the line.

The depth of their bond was comparable to the sun and moon.

But even though he was thinking about it, he was still unable to comprehend the bond between parent and child.

After sitting on the spot for several hours, Zhang Xuan could only stop and look at the young lady before him. “What do you think the bond between parent and child feels like?”

Hearing Zhang Xuan’s sudden question, Luo Qiqi was taken aback for a moment before her face reddened. “I don’t know either. Perhaps I’ll only be able to comprehend it once I have a child …”

Those who did not raise their children would never understand the grace of their parents.

The two of them were only in their twenties, and they had never given birth to a child before. How could they possibly comprehend the greatness of their parents?

Seeing that Luo Qiqi had misunderstood him, Zhang Xuan felt a little awkward. He was just about to explain when Little Chick suddenly stretched its back lazily and buried its head in its wings. “Isn’t it easy to conceive a child? In any case, there’s no one here, and the two of you are perfectly functional. Don’t worry, I won’t look. I’ll cover my eyes …”

“…” Zhang Xuan’s lips twitched upon hearing those words.

If he had known that this fellow would be so unreliable, it would have acted the same way even after knowing that he was the Deathless Monarch …

Zhang Xuan turned to look at Luo Qiqi, only to see that her face was so red that it seemed as if it would drip water at any moment.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan said, “I have to achieve a breakthrough to the God King realm before I can bring you through this gray aura. I don’t have the time to joke around!”

“Without a child, it’s impossible for you to comprehend the bond between parent and child. In any case, as long as you have a child, you’ll be able to comprehend the bond between parent and child.”

Little Chick replied matter-of-factly.

Zhang Xuan was infuriated by Little Chick’s shameless words. He slapped Little Chick and said, “Speak seriously!”

Even if he really wanted to conceive a child, it would still require ten months of gestation and several years of raising before he could truly comprehend the bond between parent and child.
