After a moment of joy, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little inferior.
It had been more than a month since he had arrived in the Firmament, but he had only managed to reach high-tier Celestial God realm pinnacle.
Just the thought of it made his heart ache.
Was his talent really that bad?
It seemed like he would have to spend more time cultivating in the future. If his talent was lacking, he would have to make up for it with hard work. He had to make a breakthrough to the God King realm as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he couldn't even match up to a chick, he would never be able to raise his head.
That chick had been following him ever since he was in the Sanctum of Sages on the Master Teacher Continent. They had been through the Kunxu Domain, the Azure, and even now, it had always been able to beat him.
"I just woke up … Burp!"
Little Chick stretched its neck as it patted its round tummy with its wings. It looked at Zhang Xuan worriedly and asked, "You won't blame me for eating that fellow, right?"
The two of them had gone through many battles together, and they had been warned many times for stealing food like that.
"It's fine, eat as much as you want," Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand. "If it's not enough, you can just eat the next one who tries to kill me."
If Little Chick hadn't woken up, he would have had to use the golden page. Even though it had been eaten by the chick, at least it had resolved a huge problem for him.
God Kings were still rare at the moment, but there would be plenty of them in the future. As long as he wasn't picky about his food, he could eat as much as he wanted.
"Thank you, Boss!" Chuckling heartily, Little Chick suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a sword. "This is that fellow's weapon. I've already erased the Soul Imprint on it. All you have to do is assimilate it and enchant it."
Earlier on, he had swallowed the God King and his weapon in a single gulp.
Zhang Xuan took the sword and swiftly assimilated and enchanted it. He turned to Little Chick and nodded.
As expected of the fellow who had traversed the Three Realms with him, it still had some conscience.
It was impossible to tame this God King realm divine artifact without erasing the artifact spirit in it. Now that he had successfully tamed it and awakened the artifact spirit, his fighting prowess would soar by leaps and bounds.
With this weapon and the three sword arts that he had comprehended, he would be able to put up a fight against a God King realm expert.
"From today onward, you shall be called the God King's Sword," Zhang Xuan said as he looked at the sword in his hand.
Wu!
The dragon roar disappeared, and the spirituality in the long sword seemed to be a little sluggish.
I am a sword on the level of the Divine King, and I have my own dignity. Other people call me Dou Qiu, Swallow Dance, Poison Dragon, Dark Owl, Fish Guts, and so on. Just by hearing these names, one would know that I am cold and domineering … What the hell is the point of me being called a 'Divine King'?
Could he be any more perfunctory?
"Not satisfied?" Zhang Xuan stroked his chin. "You were given to me by Chick, so how about … I call you Chick Sword?"
Roar!
His sword almost fell to the ground. He didn't dare to say anything else.
Godly King's Sword it is!
It sounded much better than this name.
After confirming the name, Zhang Xuan executed a sword art for a while. Sure enough, he felt that he was able to bring out the full strength of his body. Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
Although this battle was somewhat dangerous, he had also gained a lot. Not only did he gain the experience of fighting against a Divine King expert, he had also obtained this chicken … Oh, no, the Divine King Sword!
Paired with his newly comprehended 'The Silkworm's Thread Runs Out Before Dying, Only Tears Dry Until Even Ashes Burn Out', he would be able to put up a fight against even ordinary God Kings!
More importantly, he had confirmed that his current physical body possessed incredible regenerative abilities that were on par with his clone!
As long as his soul wasn't destroyed, even if his head was chopped off, he would be able to recover easily.
This was truly an undying body!
Could it be that … the energy that I absorbed was infused with Little Chick's blood?
Zhang Xuan thought.
Over the years, the Qi Clan had nurtured countless experts in the Lucid Lunar Lake, but he had never heard of any of them possessing the same undying body as him. Yet, he did, and with such ease …
Could this have something to do with the chicken before him?
Back when the chicken was still a gourd, its bathing water was even more potent than the Heaven's Path zhenqi. Despite being reduced to dust multiple times in the Azure and the Firmament, it was still able to come back to life every single time.
Even though Zhang Xuan had no idea what species the chicken was, he was certain that ordinary injuries wouldn't be able to harm it at all. On the contrary, it would be able to grow stronger and stronger!
Every time it died, it would grow stronger!
Back at the Lucid Lunar Lake, when the chicken was reduced to dust, the energy that he absorbed was infused with Little Chick's blood. That was how the golden threads in his muscles were formed, granting him a similar ability.
As such, even though he was injured during the battle with the God Kings, he didn't feel his cultivation dropping at all. On the contrary, the more he fought, the stronger he became.
"Right, Little Chick, are you able to transmogrify now?"
Zhang Xuan asked curiously.
Ordinary divine beasts would be able to transmogrify upon reaching low-tier God realm. The more powerful ones were high-tier Gods, and even stronger ones were Celestial Gods, such as Ao Hua.
Even the core disciple of the Sky of Cloud Dragon, a high-tier Celestial God, was able to transmogrify into a human.
Now that Little Chick was a God King, it should be able to transmogrify into a human!
"I haven't tried it yet, but it should work …"
Little Chick asked hesitantly as it lowered its head to take a look.
It wasn't certain whether it could transmogrify or not.
"Let's give it a try," Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
Little Chick nodded. With a thought, it began circulating the energy within its body.
Hu!
The chicken's body suddenly swayed, and in the next moment, a robust and slender figure appeared in front of him.
"I succeeded! I can really transmogrify now …" Little Chick exclaimed in excitement. However, before it could finish its words, its master had already slapped his forehead speechlessly, as if he had just seen a ghost.
"What's wrong? Am I not handsome enough? "Little Chick was taken aback.
It had once fantasized about becoming a hunk so as to infuriate its master to death.
Why would his master look like that after succeeding?
Perplexed, Little Chick reached out to touch its neck, only to freeze on the spot. "My head … Why isn't it transmogrified?"
At this moment, Little Chick had already transmogrified into a human, but its head was still that of a chicken.
From afar, it looked like a humanoid monster with the head of a chicken.
It had been wondering if it could transmogrify into a human to make itself more handsome, but now that it had a chicken head … What was so handsome about it? Any beautiful woman would probably run away in fright.
"I think it's best if you don't transmogrify into a human. Just focus on being a chicken," Zhang Xuan said helplessly.
Little Chick knew that its current appearance would scare Zhang Xuan to death, so it still reverted back to its chicken form and perched on Zhang Xuan's shoulder.
"Let's go!"
After dealing with the God King who had ambushed him, Zhang Xuan quickly found one of the injured divine beasts and treated it. Then, he leaped onto its back and continued on his journey.
"That God King from before was an unaffiliated cultivator …"
He had used the Library of Heaven's Path to take a look at the God King earlier, and he knew that the latter was an unaffiliated cultivator from the Sky of Drifting Specter.
Thinking about it, it did make sense. Most of the major clans and powers had their own foundations. There was no way they would dare to make a move on him despite knowing that he was under the protection of the Qi Clan.
After all, as valuable as the Beauty Pill was, it couldn't possibly compare to the rise and fall of a major clan.
Knowing that the God King was an unaffiliated cultivator meant that the reason he had ambushed him was due to the temptation of wealth. Now that he was dead, the power behind him was bound to disappear.
With this experience in mind, Zhang Xuan didn't encounter too much danger. It didn't take him long to arrive at the Teleportation Formation.
At the peak of the mountain stood dozens of towering pillars. Each of them was several hundred meters tall, and they kept the surrounding spiritual energy at bay. The Teleportation Formation was located at the center of the pillars.
The Great Displacement Teleportation Formation required the stability of the spiritual energy in the surroundings, so there couldn't be the slightest mistake. Thus, the pillars were used to keep the surrounding spiritual energy at bay.
Before arriving at the Teleportation Formation, Zhang Xuan ordered the divine beasts to land on the ground. Without revealing his ability to fly, he slowly made his way forward.
"Great Displacement Teleportation Formation, please present your teleportation token!"
A group of guards stepped forward and blocked his path.
Zhang Xuan took a look at them with a grim look on his face.
There were more than a hundred of them, and every single one of them possessed the strength of a high-tier Celestial God. Even a God King would find it difficult to deal with them.
From the looks of it, the Sky of Drifting Specter placed great importance on teleportation formations. It was no wonder it was so difficult to obtain a teleportation token.
Zhang Xuan passed his teleportation token over, and the guard clasped his fist respectfully. "Young Master Zhang, this way please!"
Those who were able to obtain such teleportation tokens were all top-notch experts in their respective domains. Even they wouldn't dare to offend them.
Following behind the guard, they soon arrived at the Teleportation Formation.
Instead of a teleportation formation, it was more like a passageway leading to different rooms.
"May I know which day Young Master Zhang is heading to?"
"I'm heading to the capital of the Sky of Spirit Origin, Spirit Origin Royal City," Zhang Xuan replied.
"Please take the southern gate."
The guard pointed in Zhang Xuan's direction.
Zhang Xuan nodded before walking over with Little Chick.
He pushed open the gate and walked in.
Behind the gate was a revolving screen of light. As soon as he stepped in, a burst of light burst forth from his teleportation token, shrouding him and the little chick within. The next moment, the world began to spin as a unique energy shrouded his body. With a 'hu', he vanished from the spot.
The teleportation formation of the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation was indeed more fearsome than the smaller teleportation formations in Twilight City. Even though Zhang Xuan had already reached high-tier Celestial God realm pinnacle, he still felt as if his body was about to be torn apart.
When he opened his eyes once more, he found himself standing before another gate. Driving his zhenqi to heal his injuries, he opened the gate and walked out.
Similarly, a guard verified his teleportation token before allowing him to leave.
"Is this the Sky of Spirit Origin?"
While walking out of the formation, Zhang Xuan asked the guard standing not too far away.
"That's right. That's the Spirit Origin Royal City of the Sky of Spirit Origin," the guard replied.
Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over and was taken aback.
Spirit Origin Royal City was completely different from Drifting Specter Royal City. The latter was a massive city that sat on the ground, exuding an air of prosperity. On the other hand, what appeared before his eyes was a massive crater reminiscent of the crater of a volcano.
The crater had a diameter of over a thousand li, and it was impossible to see the end of it with a single glance. It was impossible to tell how deep it was, and even one's Spiritual Perception was unable to get close to it.
Above the crater was a city made out of massive rocks, and it floated quietly in the air.
"The entire Spirit Origin Royal City is floating in the air?"
Zhang Xuan was astonished.
There were floating manors in the Sky of Drifting Specter as well, but they were usually just floating clans or powers. Yet, the entire city was floating in the air …
This was truly frightening!
