Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens-Chapter 447 - 82 Qi Tianming

Chapter 447: Chapter 82 Qi Tianming

This New World is so vast that even he couldn’t see the end of it in a short span of time. It dwarfed even the Empyrean and Master Teacher Continent combined by countless folds.

Origin qi coursed through the air, and space was exceptionally stable.

Judging by its state, no matter how much Origin qi was absorbed, it wouldn’t expand further. In other words, this entirely new world had already halted its growth, and the only thing left was for it to fully form.

This was good. If dangerous times arose, retreating into this New World would still allow for cultivation and advancement.

“Let’s continue to call this place the Suspended Realm.”

Zhang Xuan decided on the name in his heart.

With a soft motion, he entered the Suspended Realm.

Here, he was still the Realm Master, able to create life with a single thought.

With a flick of his wrist, the Soul Summoning Banner he had obtained from You Hai appeared in his palm.

“Reforge it!”

He gently tossed it forward, and it melted in midair, its shape gradually transforming into the form of a longsword.

His Cold Nether Sword had shattered when he slew Elder Jiang Li. Without a fitting weapon in hand, this Soul Summoning Banner served as a perfect replacement.

Before long, the longsword was forged thoroughly, landing in his palm. With a light tap, sword qi spilled forth with immense strength.

Zhang Xuan smiled in satisfaction. “From today onward, you shall be called the Soul Summoning Sword!”

Since it was forged from the Soul Summoning Banner, naming it the Soul Summoning Sword was only natural.

After refining the longsword, Zhang Xuan proceeded to re-temper the Ten Directions Bodhi Soul Suppressing Chains and the Reincarnation Relic Tower, fully mastering their control before letting out a breath of relief.

With these celestial treasures, his strength had advanced further.

He took out the Treasure Tower and deliberated briefly, but ultimately chose not to continue synthesizing the Buddha Bone.

Though refining the Buddha Bone could transform his flesh into an Eternal Golden Body, making him increasingly stronger… the resources it would consume were enormous. Without the Essence Pill or the full cultivation of a peak Life Sea 9-dan pinnacle expert, it was nearly impossible to succeed.

“Master…”

The soul of the Frost Demon Lord appeared before him, its expression pitiable.

It had surrendered fully to him, hoping that once he grew stronger, he might return the Essence Pill or even help reconstruct its corpse. But now, after merely a day, the Essence Pill had been consumed entirely, with barely a trace left behind…

What a scam!

“Cultivate here; your soul won’t collapse. When the opportunity arises, I’ll kill a greater demon and help you restore yourself!”

Seeing the desperation in its gaze, Zhang Xuan explained awkwardly.

Originally, using the Essence Pill was merely to resolve a crisis. He hadn’t anticipated the crisis escalating so greatly, leading to not only exhausting the Essence Pill but also depleting all of You Hai’s strength as well as most of Elder Jiang Li’s power.

What remained within him now was only a portion of Elder Jiang Li’s cultivation. Even if he wanted to push his limits, he couldn’t achieve the groundbreaking battle levels he had displayed before.

Of course, if he had the chance to eliminate several Life Sea 9-dan pinnacle experts, he could still grow unimaginably powerful.

“Let’s go find Sun Qiang and the others…”

Returning to the cavern, Zhang Xuan gathered the formation used to mask his presence into the Suspended Realm and stood up.

Ten days ago, upon returning to his residence, Sun Qiang and the others’ fates remained unknown. It was time to search for them now.

There was also Empyrean Kong shi, who had been captured by Crown Prince Yuanqing. His fate, too, was uncertain.

With the Soul Summoning Sword in hand, Zhang Xuan performed a Youqing Sword Technique, conjuring a mist of light before him. Yet, after waiting half a day, no word from Empyrean Kong shi came through.

This meant either Empyrean Kong shi was still held captive or had no way to contact him.

Recognizing the many tasks awaiting him, Zhang Xuan didn’t dwell on the matter for long. With a slight flicker, he vanished, reappearing moments later in his residence located in Tianli City.

“Commander Bai, what is the meaning of this?”

Just as he materialized within his room, he heard a stern chastisement from outside.

Frowning slightly, Zhang Xuan approached the window, quietly pushing open a gap to peek outside.

Currently, utilizing his spatial manipulation, he was in an invisible state. Unless someone possessed vastly superior cultivation, it was nearly impossible to detect or discover him.

In the courtyard below, two groups stood in opposition, clearly unwilling to back down.

On the left side, facing away from the main gate, was a contingent of guards clad in armor identical to those patrolling the city earlier. Judging by their appearance, they likely belonged to the Tianli Empire’s guard corps.

On the right, the group was dressed modestly without any discernible affiliation. Even Zhang Xuan couldn’t immediately ascertain their allegiance. However, he did recognize the speaker who had just chastised the commander.

It was none other than the guard with whom he had shared a karmic link earlier.

Shortly after acquiring the Reincarnation Relic Tower, Zhang Xuan had noticed a significant karmic connection tied to this individual. Although severing the link didn’t fully dispel the connection, he had found it odd. Now, it seemed the reason was revealing itself.

Sun Qiang and the others had vanished, with many even dead. Yet this seemingly ordinary guard had not only survived but dared speak boldly to the official guard corps now. Something was clearly amiss.

“To think he’s a Life Sea Realm expert…” Zhang Xuan’s eyes flashed.

Previously, due to his own low cultivation, he couldn’t discern the other party’s strength. Now, it was plainly evident that this individual possessed at least Life Sea 6-dan level power!

This level of cultivation made him a formidable figure even within Tianli City.

“Elder Qi Tianming, this is the residence of the traitor Zhang Xuan. We have orders from the Crown Prince to seal it. Your Wanxiang Sect stands here to obstruct us—are you attempting to harbor this traitor?”

Commander Bai sneered coldly, his gaze playing with amusement.

“Harboring? Commander Bai, don’t leap to conclusions. This estate belongs to our Wanxiang Sect, temporarily leased to Zhang Xuan. Since he fled, we naturally need to reclaim it! If Commander Bai wishes to capture a traitor and secure a Duke’s title, I can understand, but you cannot use our Wanxiang Sect’s assets as bargaining chips!”

Elder Qi Tianming replied.

“Wanxiang Sect? So this man is an elder of Wanxiang Sect…” Listening to the exchange, Zhang Xuan’s mind cleared.

That explained everything.

No wonder he had felt it odd for such a skilled expert to suddenly appear at his residence. It turned out to be the handiwork of the Wanxiang Sect. Evidently, the value of the Sky Blue Card kept rising.

“If Wanxiang Sect had preparations in place earlier, could Sun Qiang and the others have been rescued by them?” A possibility dawned in his mind.

He mulled over the situation, while the front-loaded conversation continued ahead.

“Bargaining chips? Elder Qi, you’re overthinking it! We executed the Crown Prince’s orders to apprehend Zhang Xuan’s accomplices. When we arrived, all that remained were a few subordinates—none of the prime culprits. Now, I strongly suspect Wanxiang Sect is involved…” Commander Bai said.

“Involved with Wanxiang Sect?”

Elder Qi Tianming’s gaze flickered, his eyes narrowing. “Commander Bai, do you have any evidence for such a claim? Without evidence, it would constitute slander! Our Wanxiang Sect has always maintained neutrality for countless years, avoiding entanglements in conflicts. If you dare to falsely accuse us, don’t blame me for reporting this directly to headquarters. This matter would then be for our Sect Master and Emperor Fusheng to discuss.”

“This…” Commander Bai faltered.

As soon as Elder Qi mentioned escalating the matter to Emperor Fusheng, Commander Bai’s expression turned exceedingly grim.

Though his position wasn’t insignificant, he was nothing more than a dog in front of the Crown Prince. Far less would he dare provoke the ire of Emperor Fusheng. If his actions incurred the emperor’s displeasure, he might perish without knowing the cause.
