Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens-Chapter 460 - 95 Perseverance and Determination

Chapter 460 -95 Perseverance and Determination

“All right!” The servant turned to get the book. Before he could bring back the notice, Zhang Xuan heard some voices discussing nearby.

“Did you hear? If you capture Zhang Xuan, besides the title of Duke and the Tribulation Sharing Pill, you can also ask for the Divine Pill formula!”

“What kind of pill dares claim to be divine?”

“Does one that can condense the Eternal Heart count?”

“Of course! But this news is already outdated. The latest is that the Tianli Royalty is going to publicly execute the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony controller.”

“I heard that too. They say that guy disrespects the emperor’s might, defies royal authority, and always talks about how the people are paramount, the state secondary, and the king insignificant. With such heretical ideas, it’s no wonder they want to kill him!”

“Such statements shake the very foundation of power. It’s not too much to grind him into dust…”

“Are they going to kill Empyrean Kong shi?”

The fragmented conversations entered his ears. Just as Zhang Xuan wanted to ask more, the servant handed over the notice. As expected, it contained the news about the public execution of Empyrean Kong shi.

“Law Heavenly Capital… What is this place?”

His eyebrows furrowed as he couldn’t help but ask the Frost Demon Lord.

Even though this guy’s Essence Pill had been completely consumed, his soul was still an All-Knowing, aware of all the secrets known only to the high and mighty of the world.

“The Law Heavenly Capital is located at the junction of the East Suburban Imperial Mausoleum and the Xuanhuang Dragon Vein. It’s a unique domain, usually hidden in the Phantasm Space. It only opens to execute some powerful prisoners. It’s controlled by the Tianli Royalty…”

The Frost Demon Lord didn’t hesitate and revealed everything he knew.

Zhang Xuan’s expression changed slightly.

Regardless of anything else, just entering the place and being suppressed by the power of the Nine God Monarchs, losing one’s autonomy, was quite terrifying.

It was akin to entering a world that belonged to him alone, with any outsider stepping in being caught in a trap.

“It must be Prince Yuanqing deliberately spreading this news with only one purpose—to lure me in…”

Zhang Xuan understood immediately.

It wasn’t surprising that someone who could emerge from the struggle for the throne would be this cunning. He had just dug a pit for the opponent, and in return, they made a move that left him in a tough spot.

He and Empyrean Kong shi had traveled together like mentor and friend, and watching him be killed without doing anything was absolutely impossible.

Yet, if he really went to rescue someone, it would be like falling into the enemy’s ambush, a sure death.

“What should I do?”

In an instant, thousands of thoughts swirled in his mind, unsure of what to do.

“You’re not thinking of saving that companion, are you?”

Seeing his hesitation, the Frost Demon Lord shook his head. “I advise you to abandon that idea! The Tianli Empire, having established the Law Heavenly Capital shortly after its founding, is a Heaven Mandate Domain formed by a royal strongman after his death. Over the years, it has accumulated the fortune of the dynasty for thousands of years, and has killed no less than hundreds of strongmen who have comprehended Third Level Destiny or higher. Not a single one has escaped.”

“Even if you use the Eternal Heart to unleash the power of Life Sea 9-dan, each use consumes a great amount. Not to mention whether you have enough Essence Pills, even if you did… how would you withstand the endless onslaught of powerful opponents within Law Heavenly Capital?”

Zhang Xuan fell silent.

If Prince Yuanqing deliberately spread the news to lure him, he would naturally have prepared sufficient forces to ambush him, leaving him no chance.

If successful, the Eternal Heart would become the opponent’s, completing a total transformation.

This chance was most certainly thoroughly prepared, ensuring nothing could go wrong.

“I must rescue him!”

Zhang Xuan’s voice was low.

“You’re not afraid to die?” The Frost Demon Lord was stunned.

He had seen people who didn’t care for their lives, but none to this extent.

“Afraid, but knowing the news and not rescuing him, living would be more painful than dying!” Zhang Xuan shook his head.

Some things must be done, and some should not be.

Rescuing someone was very dangerous, but if he didn’t act, Empyrean Kong shi would certainly die.

He didn’t want this mentor and friend to perish here, even if he knew the journey was fraught with danger.

“You…”

The Frost Demon Lord was anxious. “Those who achieve great things do not fuss over small matters. Emperor Fusheng once killed his wife and son to seize the Crown Prince position. Similarly, as the Second Prince, Yuanqing is also qualified to become the Crown Prince… Even if Empyrean Kong shi has a good relationship with you, he’s just a friend. At most, you could burn some paper money for him in the future. Rescuing him poses a high risk of both of you dying!”

Zhang Xuan’s gaze grew distant. “So what?”

On this journey, when has a fight not been a life-and-death struggle?

Each time he survived was not due to great talent or luck, but because of a different kind of faith and persistence in his heart.

Even if the future was uncertain and beset with challenges, he would always believe in a breakthrough after the storm.

“You…”

Seeing that his persuasion was futile, the Frost Demon Lord felt helpless.

His soul had submitted to Zhang Xuan with the hope of recovering when he became stronger, not for him to go seek death.

But from his tone, it was clear he couldn’t be dissuaded.

“You humans are truly bothersome. It’s so much easier being a demon. Do whatever you want without moral and emotional constraints…”

The Frost Demon Lord grumbled.

“Stop lamenting and quickly think of a way to help me!”

Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan felt his understanding of the Love Destiny advance, making his heart steadier.

“Fine!”

After a moment of silence, realizing that he couldn’t stop the young man’s determined decision, the Frost Demon Lord rubbed his temples, “If you really want to go, your current strength and accumulation are insufficient. It’s best to do two things in advance. If successful, you might have a chance to rescue someone from the Law Heavenly Capital.”

“Two things? What are they?”

Zhang Xuan asked eagerly.

True to being an ancient demon with vast knowledge, he must have a plan.

“First, your current power is insufficient, meaning you need more Essence Pills!”

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Although he had the Eternal Heart, he lacked sufficient Essence Pills, as most of the remaining energy from You Hai was already consumed during his escape.

This meant that, despite possessing the Eternal Heart, the strength he could unleash was far less than during the Nine Palaces Netherworld Sea encounter.

Back then, he barely escaped with his life, and now the situation seemed even more dire, given that he was to enter the Law Heavenly Capital to rescue someone publicly.

“Do you have a way?”

Knowing that the Frost Demon Lord wouldn’t suggest it without a plan, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course!”

The Frost Demon Lord chuckled darkly. “It just depends if you dare to do it.”

“Tell me!” Zhang Xuan urged.

“Simple. I know a few demon heads of similar strength to mine, some even a notch higher. If you can seize the opportunity to hunt them down, you’ll gain enough Essence Pills. Then you won’t need to fear Prince Yuanqing anymore!”

The Frost Demon Lord licked his lips, his eyes gleaming.
