Library of Heaven's Path-Chapter 2236: Kong shi Could Come Back to Life?

Chapter 2236 Kong shi Could Come Back to Life?

In the Sanctum of Sages, Luo Xuanqing had met Zhang Xuan for the first time, and they had become close friends with one another.

However, due to the matter concerning his younger sister, they had ended up turning against one another. But in the depths of his heart, he still viewed the other party to be his rival and a friend.

It was just that the other party’s cultivation grew too quickly. He made breakthroughs so frighteningly quick, leaving innumerable legends in his wake.

He had thought that it would have been impossible for him to catch up with Zhang Xuan, but who could have known that there would be such a huge time gap between the Master Teacher Continent and the higher worlds?

With this, he still had a chance!

At this moment, Zhang Xuan only had a month’s advantage on him. As long as he worked diligently, he should be able to catch up with the other party, and soon, he would be able to give the other party a good pummeling.

“Surpass Zhang Xuan?”

Hearing Luo Xuanqing’s muttering, Hu Yaoyao and Yu Fei-er glanced at one another before shaking their heads helplessly. “Forget it, do whatever that makes you happy…”

As people who had seen how Zhang Xuan forged his legend, they did not think that Luo Xuanqing stood a chance at all. But that being said, if Zhang Xuan was really only at high-tier God at the moment, they might still be able to catch up to him and advance alongside him.

This thought filled them up with great drive.

“How beautiful it is. I reckon that the person who has been acknowledged by the world must be a great person as well…”

The two young ladies spoke as they stared at the red sky as well.

…

Paying no heed to the shocked gazes of the God Monarchs, Zhang Xuan closed his eyes as he perceived the changes that were occurring within his body.

Conferred God King realm primary stage!

Conferred God King realm intermediate stage!

…

Conferred God King realm pinnacle!

In less than a minute, his soul cultivation had already risen from God King realm pinnacle to Conferred God King realm pinnacle!

But his soul cultivation did not stop there. It continued rising beyond that point.

Just the conferment of the world was enough for him to raise his soul cultivation several stages; this was even more terrifying than the Anima of Yearning.

However, this isn’t a good time for me to push for a breakthrough to God Monarch, Zhang Xuan thought as he suppressed his rising soul cultivation.

Conferred God King of the Nine Skies was equivalent to receiving the conferment of the Nine Skies simultaneously, granting him far greater powers than other Conferred God Kings. Under normal circumstances, such power should have been enough for him to become a God Monarch, but it was a pity that his physical body and zhenqi cultivation was still too weak.

If he made a breakthrough then, he would induce the Monarch Heavenly Tribulation, but he was not ready to face this cultivation ordeal yet. Without a doubt, he would be crushed.

If that happened, he would become the first God Monarch in history who died from a cultivation ordeal right after his breakthrough.

How embarrassing would that be?

For that reason, he decisively suppressed the further growth of his soul cultivation.

In any case, he had already comprehended the God Monarch realm cultivation technique that he required for his breakthrough. It would not be too late to make a breakthrough after he raised his physical body and zhenqi cultivation.

“That is a wise decision…” Luo Ruoxin heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing how Zhang Xuan was able to remain rational even in the face of such great temptation.

When it came to cultivation, it was not about making a breakthrough as quickly as possible. Instead, what was more important was building a strong foundation, and only then would a cultivator be able to exert greater strength after their breakthrough!

The person whom she fancied was indeed a person with great willpower and decisiveness!

After stabilizing the energies within his body, Zhang Xuan exhaled deeply before turning to look at the young lady beside him.

“I intend to find a way to circumvent the War of the Heavens. Do you want to stay with me, or…”

It had not been easy for him to reunite with her once more, so he did not want to part with her so quickly. However, there was no guarantee that he would be able to find a solution, and staying together could just lead to greater pain in the future. He did not want to force her for his own selfishness.

“I need to return to the Sky of Freedom for a while to settle some matters… After I’m done, I’ll head over to see you!” Luo Ruoxin replied.

There were some things that she had to settle right away.

“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you.” Zhang Xuan nodded. Then, he beckoned Little Chick over and said, “Let’s go!”

“Un!” Little Chick nodded.

With a wave of his hand, the two of them vanished on the spot.

Luo Ruoxin stood quietly for a moment before leaving the area.

Just like that, the other God Monarchs quickly dispersed.

Everything that had just happened a moment ago left them feeling a little shaken. Be it the grand battle they had just witnessed or the upcoming birth of a new God Monarch, it seemed like the Firmament would soon be undergoing massive changes.

And what had left them even more worried was that the upcoming God Monarch already held unprecedented power. Even before making a breakthrough himself, God Monarch Lingxi was his girlfriend, and the Deathless Monarch was his tamed beast.

How were they supposed to deal with such an overpowered character?

…

Zhang Xuan returned to the mountain where Kong shi and his direct disciples resided.

“Zhang shi!”

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

“Kong shi, he has…” Zhang Xuan began speaking with a solemn voice.

“It’s fine. We already know,” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan replied with a deep sigh. “Earlier, when our teacher’s sculpture broke apart, we already knew that our teacher’s soul has dissipated…”

“My condolences.”

Zhang Xuan knew of the deep bond between Kong shi and his direct disciples. After having been together for so many years, the feelings they had with one another had probably transcended even that of kinship.

“There’s nothing to grief over. Our teacher wouldn’t leave us just like that,” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan replied.

Zhang Xuan was slightly surprised to hear those words. “I saw his soul dissipating with my own eyes. I fear that the possibility of him returning is extremely slim…”

A cultivator who had lost their body could still find another body to house their soul, but if a cultivator’s soul dissipated, that would really be the end of them.

Yet, Ancient Sage Zi Yuan and the others seemed to be holding onto the hope that Kong shi might still return somehow.

“In the Firmament, death doesn’t necessarily represent the end. Doesn’t the Netherworld Pool of the Sky of Drifting Specter hold the power to revive souls that have dissipated? Besides, the Deathless Monarch died decades ago, but he has also returned from his death, isn’t that so?” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan said.

“This…” Zhang Xuan’s body shuddered a little.

Indeed!

The Netherworld Pool had the ability to restore a dissipated soul through the Anima of Yearning, and the Deathless Monarch had the ability to resurrect from death. For someone like Kong shi who possessed capabilities unmatched by anyone before him, how could he possibly not have a backup plan?

He might have already found a way to come back to life!

Just that…

“Even if he comes back to life, will he still be the same person as he was?” Zhang Xuan asked contemplatively.

The Deathless Monarch might have resurrected from death, but he had ended up becoming Little Chick. Even though they shared the same memories, they were no longer the same person.

The same went for the Netherworld Pool.

There was no guarantee that the restored soul would possess the same consciousness as before.

“He will be,” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan replied affirmatively.

“How can you be so certain about it?” Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.

It was clear that Ancient Sage Zi Yuan knew something about this, or else he would not have reacted in such a manner.

“God Monarch, can you cast an isolation barrier over this house so as to prevent the will of the heavens from peering in?” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan asked.

“Very well!” Little Chick nodded.

He waved his hand and shrouded the house with his powers, isolating it from the rest of the world.

After that, Ancient Sage Zi Yuan turned to look at Zhang Xuan.

Understanding Ancient Sage Zi Yuan’s intention, Zhang Xuan said with a nod, “I’ll give it a try.”

It was not enough just to isolate the house from the heavens because Zhang Xuan possessed a fragment of the heavens inside him as well. Where the Library of Heaven’s Path was, the heavens would be able to reach.

This was shown by how the heavens had wrecked the Seer Guild back then despite the measures they had put in place.

Zhang Xuan channeled his soul energy and wrapped it around his Library of Heaven’s Path, sealing it off.

Such a thing would have been impossible in the past, but now that he had comprehended a God Monarch realm cultivation technique, it was well within his means to do so.

“Alright, it’s done,” Zhang Xuan said.

Seeing that everything was in place, Ancient Sage Zi Yuan looked at Zhang Xuan intently before asking, “Zhang shi, have you ever heard about our teacher cultivating a technique known as… Severing the Three Necrophorus?”
