Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2237

Back in the Sanctum of Sages, he had become close friends with Zhang Xuan.

Later on, due to the matter regarding his younger sister, they fell out and stopped interacting with each other. However, deep in their hearts, they still viewed each other as rivals and friends.

It was just that that fellow’s cultivation speed was simply too fast. He broke through layer after layer and created countless legends …

He had thought that it would be impossible for him to catch up, but who could have thought that there would be such a huge time gap between the Firmament and the Master Teacher Continent?

Since that was the case, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to catch up to the other party!

Taking into account the time he had spent in the Firmament, he had only cultivated for a month more than him. As long as he worked hard, it wouldn’t be too difficult for him to catch up to the other party’s cultivation and pummel him!

“Defeat Zhang Xuan?”

Hearing Zhang Xuan’s confident words, Hu Yaoyao and Yu Fei-er glanced at one another before shaking their heads. “As long as you’re happy …”

They had been unable to catch up to Zhang Xuan back then, and they didn’t think that they would be able to catch up to him once they reached the Firmament. However, if the other party was really a high-tier God, they might just be able to catch up to him.

Even if he couldn’t surpass him, he could at least catch up to him and advance together!

At the thought of this, both of them were filled with motivation.

“So beautiful … This powerful being who has been recognized by the heavens is also our idol …”

Raising their heads to look at the sky, the two of them sighed.

…

Ignoring the shocked gazes of the Nine Thearchs around him, Zhang Xuan closed his eyes and sensed the changes in his mind.

Conferred God King primary stage!

Conferred God King intermediate stage!

…

Conferred God King realm pinnacle!

In less than a minute, his soul had risen from ordinary God King realm pinnacle to Conferred God King realm pinnacle.

Most importantly, it didn’t stop there. It was still increasing.

The Conferment of Heaven and Earth had raised the strength of Zhang Xuan’s soul by several levels, making it even more frightening than Anima of Yearning.

“Now isn’t the time for me to make a breakthrough to the God Monarch realm …”

Exhaling, Zhang Xuan suppressed the increase in his soul power.

The Conferred God King of the Nine Skies was equivalent to nine God Monarchs stacked on top of one another. Under normal circumstances, he would be able to push for a breakthrough to the God Monarch realm in a single go. However, his zhenqi cultivation was simply too low. If he were to do so, he would incur a God Monarch heavenly tribulation. If that happened, he could very well be reduced to dust without any resistance at all.

If that was the case, he would become the first Celestial Emperor in history to be killed by a calamity right after breaking through.

Wouldn’t it be embarrassing enough if word got out?

Therefore, he made a prompt decision and suppressed the soul that was about to advance.

In any case, he had already comprehended an Imperial Lord-level cultivation technique. It wouldn’t be too late for him to make a breakthrough after he had accumulated enough True Qi and physical strength.

“Fortunately …”

Lozosy heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he was still so rational under such circumstances.

Sometimes, it was not better to break through as quickly as possible. Instead, one had to take it one step at a time in order to display a stronger combat strength!

The man in front of her, the man she liked and liked, indeed had inhuman courage and perseverance.

“I’m going to look for a way to resolve the War of the Heavens. Are you coming with me, or …”

After stabilizing his power, Zhang Xuan exhaled and looked at the girl in front of him.

Now that they had met again and had resolved their inner demons, they naturally didn’t want to part ways.

“I need to go back for a while … There are some things that I need to do … I’ll look for you when I’m done!” Lozosy’s eyes were filled with reluctance.

There was something that had to be done as soon as possible, and there was no way to decline.

“Alright.” Zhang Xuan nodded. He turned to Little Chick and said, “Let’s go!”

“Un.” Little Chick nodded. With a wave of its hand, the two of them tore open a dimension rift and vanished from the spot.

Lozosy glanced at the two of them before disappearing as well.

The other God Monarchs quickly followed suit and left as well.

The battle earlier had left them in awe, but it seemed like they were about to witness the birth of a new God Monarch.

If it was the Heaven Subjugation Monarch from before, they would have tried to rope him in or stop him from growing. However, the Heaven Subjugation Monarch was his girlfriend and the Deathless Monarch was his tamed beast …

They really didn’t dare!

…

They returned to the mountain where Kong Shi was.

“Zhang Shi!”

Ancient Sage Zi Yuan and the others quickly gathered around him.

“Kong Shi, he …” Zhang Xuan’s face darkened.

“We already know …” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan nodded. “Earlier, when the sculpture of our teacher shattered, we knew that our teacher’s soul had dissipated!”

“My condolences.”

Zhang Xuan knew that these students of Kong Shi’s had been with him for many years, and their relationship had already surpassed that of father and son.

“There’s no need for you to grieve. We don’t believe that our teacher would leave us just like that!” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan shook his head.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback. “I saw his soul dissipating with my own eyes. Doesn’t that mean that he’s completely dead?”

The dissipation of one’s soul was equivalent to the disappearance of one’s soul.

Yet, Ancient Sage Zi Yuan didn’t seem to believe that.

“The dissipation of one’s soul doesn’t necessarily mean that one will die. Isn’t the Netherworld Pool of the Sky of Drifting Specter capable of reviving those whose souls have dissipated? Furthermore, the Deathless Monarch’s soul dissipated several decades ago as well. Didn’t he manage to make a full recovery by now? “Ancient Sage Zi Yuan asked.

“This …” Zhang Xuan’s body jolted in astonishment.

That was right!

The Netherworld Pool could make use of the Anima of Yearning to revive those whose souls had dissipated, and the Deathless Monarch could also undergo rebirth after death. Given how powerful Kong Shi was, how could he possibly not have any trump cards up his sleeves?

It was laughable that Ancient Sage Zi Yuan was so heartbroken earlier. Perhaps, the other party had already thought of a way to revive himself!

Just that …

“Even if he’s revived, will he still be the same person?”

A doubt surfaced in Zhang Xuan’s mind.

While the Deathless Monarch had been revived, he had turned into a little yellow chick. He was no longer the same person as before.

Even the Netherworld Pool was only capable of reviving one’s soul.

It was impossible to say whether the soul that was revived would still be the same as the memories and consciousness of the past.

“That’s definitely the case.” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan nodded.

“Why are you so certain?” Zhang Xuan frowned upon seeing Ancient Sage Zi Yuan’s expression.

It was clear that Ancient Sage Zi Yuan knew something, or else he wouldn’t have reacted in such a manner.

“God Monarch, may I trouble you to seal off this hall so as to isolate the will of the heavens?” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan asked.

“Alright.” Little Chick nodded. With a wave of his hand, a surge of energy shrouded the entire hall, isolating it from the world.

Ancient Sage Zi Yuan turned to Zhang Xuan and asked.

“I’ll give it a try,” Zhang Xuan replied.

It was useless for Zhang Xuan to isolate the heavens from the world because he was the heavens himself, and he had the Library of Heaven’s Path in his mind.

This was similar to what had happened to the Seer Guild branch back then. As long as he was around, he would be able to see through the secrets of the heavens.

With a thought, Zhang Xuan shrouded the Library of Heaven’s Path with his powerful consciousness.

Had it been in the past, he might have been unable to do so. However, after comprehending the cultivation technique of a God Monarch, it wasn’t too difficult for him to do so.

“It’s done,” Zhang Xuan said.

Seeing that the heavens had been completely isolated from the world, Ancient Sage Zi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, “Zhang Shi, have you heard of a cultivation technique that my teacher practices, the Three Corpse Severing?”
