Library of Heaven’s Path

Instead of replying, the young man turned around and beckoned with his finger lightly.

Huala!

The tea inside the teacups on the stone table gathered in the air to form a sword.

“Use your sword art to attack me.”

“Alright.”

Tzla!

With a flick of Zhang Xuan’s wrist, the Crimson Heaven Sword tore through the air and filled the surroundings with surges of sword qi.

A Heart of Intertwined Threads!

The young man took a step forward, and without any excessive actions, he raised the liquid sword in his hand and pierced forth.

For an instant, Zhang Xuan thought that he had been locked down by a beast, rendering him unable to move. He felt like if he made an excessive movement, he would surely be struck down by the other party.

Despite the simplicity of the young man’s swordsmanship, Zhang Xuan could feel an air of valiance from his movements. It was the determination to tear down everything that stood ahead of him, as if he could not back down because his kin and family members were right behind him.

“This…”

Zhang Xuan knew that he would surely be cornered if he did not change his move, so he maneuvered his sword to execute his fourth sword art instead.

It was the move carrying the conceptualization of indignation and yearning.

However, the young man did not back down because of it. He continued to push his attack forward with indomitable momentum, like a sharp sword that would cut down anything in its path.

Peng!

The sword qi that had gathered was sliced in two, and Zhang Xuan himself was slammed into the pillar behind.

Hula!

The sword made of tea fell back to the ground as droplets.

“I lowered my cultivation to the same level as yours, God King realm primary stage,” the young man remarked.

“Yes, I noticed…” Zhang Xuan nodded as he struggled to his feet.

The God Monarch of the Sword Hut did not use his superior cultivation to suppress Zhang Xuan. He had lowered his cultivation to God King realm primary stage, and with his own skill, he had subdued Zhang Xuan while he was wielding the Crimson Heaven Sword and using the Pathos of Heaven sword art!

In the same cultivation realm, even when he was equipped with a powerful weapon, Zhang Xuan was still unable to defeat the other party!

Ever since he started cultivating, he had only lost to his clone when they were in the same cultivation realm.

This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful opponent.

“I hope that you are able to grasp the differences between the two concepts. How you interpret it and adapt your sword art is up to you,” the young man said before turning around to leave.

“Please wait a moment!” Zhang Xuan called out.

The young man halted his footsteps.

“Elder, if I’m not mistaken, given your strength, you should be able to match the Heaven Subjugation Monarch and God Monarch Lingxi easily. Is it possible for you to stop the duel between the two of them?” Zhang Xuan asked.

He had no idea how powerful the other God Monarchs were, but without a doubt, the young man before him was an extremely formidable expert. He could not imagine the young man being anywhere weaker than Kong shi and Luo Ruoxin.

If he could somehow convince the young man to interfere in the duel and stop the two of them, everything might work out fine.

As slim as the chances were, he had to give it a try!

“Everyone has their own fate that they have to fulfill, and even God Monarchs are not spared from that. The duel between the two of them can’t be stopped, and it mustn’t be stopped. That is an inevitability,” the young man replied calmly.

“Must one of them die?” Zhang Xuan asked desperately. “Is it not enough to just determine a victor between the two of them?”

“There’s no way around it,” the young man replied with a grim voice. Then, he turned around and said, “Your parents have a decent comprehension of swordsmanship. Send them over to the Sword Hut after they reach the God King realm; I’ll guarantee their safety if anything happens.”

After saying those words, the young man and the elder’s silhouettes began to fade before vanishing.

“Elder… Elder!” Zhang Xuan called out, but there was no response. Knowing that the young man had really left, he could not help but sigh deeply.

The words that the young man had said before he parted really left him with a horrible premonition.

The other party mentioned that in the duel between Luo Ruoxin and Kong shi, one of them had to die. If even someone as powerful as the young man was unable to stop them, what could he possibly do to change the situation?

Just what kind of fate was there between the two of them?

Why did things have to come to this point?

Luo Ruoxin was his girlfriend, and he had come all the way from the Master Teacher Continent to the Firmament in order to find her.

Kong shi was a person whom he had looked up to ever since his time on the Master Teacher Continent, and it would be no exaggeration to say that the other party was the one who had guided him thus far.

Those two people were extremely important to him, and he could not stand the thought of seeing something happen to them.

“Everyone has their own fate to fulfill… What is fate then?” Zhang Xuan muttered with an anxious expression on his face.

“Xuan-er…”

Just as Zhang Xuan was feeling flustered inside, he suddenly heard his mother’s worried voice. He quickly snapped out of his state, raised his head, and smiled. “I’m fine… Right, how’s your cultivation going?”

“With the cultivation technique and the pills you have provided us, your father and I have managed to reach high-tier Celestial God realm pinnacle,” Sword Saint Meng said with a smile as she revealed her strength.

“So fast?” Zhang Xuan blinked in surprise.

He could understand the two of them raising their zhenqi cultivation quickly, but it should have been much harder for them to raise their soul cultivation. He had only managed to advance his soul cultivation so quickly due to the steady inflow of Anima of Yearning from the sales of the Beauty Pill and the Breakthrough Pill.

How did his parents manage to raise their soul cultivation so quickly?

“Sun Qiang bought quite a few medicinal herbs and pills that allowed us to advance our soul cultivation quickly,” Sword Saint Meng explained.

The sales of the Breakthrough Pills and Beauty Pills were bringing in a great deal of money to them every day. Through this great fortune and the unwavering support of the Qi Clan, they were able to easily source and purchase pills that hastened the growth of one’s soul cultivation.

It was due to this that they had been able to raise their cultivation all the way up to high-tier Celestial God realm pinnacle swiftly.

“I have three God King Breakthrough Pills for each of you. If you feel like you are ready to push for a breakthrough, it should provide you with the impetus you require to reach the God King realm,” Zhang Xuan said as he passed the pills over.

In the first place, he had prepared those specifically for them, so there was no need to hold onto them.

“Sun Qiang, we’ll be heading over to the Sky of Heavenly Sword right now. I want you to find a quiet place over there for my parents and you to cultivate in. Once all of you manage to become God Kings, head straight over to the Sword Hut to find the young man whom we met earlier.”

Even though he was in a rush to head over to the Sky of Freedom, he could not let his guard down when it came to his parents’ safety.

If they traveled manually to the Sky of Heavenly Sword, over the long journey, someone might just try to go after his parents in order to uncover the secret behind the Beauty Pill and the Breakthrough Pill. After all, it was a lucrative business that would solve the financial problems faced by any major power.

It would be far safer if they took the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation instead.

With his recent growth in his cultivation and Luo Qiqi’s ability to control space, they should be able to ensure his parents and Sun Qiang’s safety while making the trip over.

So, they quickly headed over to the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation. Zhang Xuan passed the token over to Sun Qiang, and with him escorting his father and Luo Qiqi escorting his mother, the five of them quickly made their way over to the Sky of Heavenly Sword.

Fortunately, while it was not easy for them to protect someone while traveling through the teleportation formation, they managed to pull it off without a hitch.

Before bidding his parents farewell, Zhang Xuan entrusted the God King Sword to his father, Sword Saint Xing, and helped him tame it.

With their swordsmanship and the God King Sword, they should be able to defeat even an ordinary God King with ease, so there was no need to worry about their safety.

“Let’s head to the Sky of Freedom!” Zhang Xuan said.

Together with Luo Qiqi, they entered the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation once more.

Even if it was going to be hard, he was determined to stop the battle between Luo Ruoxin and Kong shi!

For this, he was willing to put his life on the line!
