Feng Jiuge was unable to sense the surge of gray energy, so he had no idea that the young man before him had resolved his affliction. Doubting his words, he eventually sat down and began driving his zhenqi according to his usual cultivation method.
Soon, he realized that something was amiss.
Previously, the zhenqi in his body would vanish in less than a single circulation. The more he drove it, the more it would vanish. However, at this moment, it was growing denser and denser. This was especially so for his shriveled dantian. At this very moment, it felt like a massive volcano that would erupt at any moment.
The zhenqi that he had been cultivating for the past two years hadn't vanished. Instead, it had been concealed by the surge of gray energy.
Now that it was released, it felt as if a river had burst its banks.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, the energy in his body burst forth. His low-tier Celestial God cultivation, which was on the verge of falling at any moment, shot up to consummation, middle-tier Celestial God, high-tier Celestial God!
In less than fifteen minutes, not only did he recover his cultivation, he even managed to overcome his bottleneck and reach high-tier Celestial God pinnacle.
"I …"
Feeling the overwhelming energy coursing through his body, Feng Jiuge's eyes reddened in agitation.
He knew that he had gained a new lease on life.
And this new lease of life was given to him by the young man before him.
"Teacher!"
Feng Jiuge kneeled on the floor.
He had thought that he had no other choice but to acknowledge Zhang Xuan as his teacher, but at this moment, he realized that it was the wisest decision he had ever made in his life.
"Rise!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand as he turned his gaze to the Library of Heaven's Path.
It seemed like the young man before him was truly grateful to him. Just like Zhuo Yan, he had created a golden page for him as well.
The two golden pages were placed side by side on the bookshelf, emanating a golden glow.
"Feng Jiuge has recovered his cultivation?"
"Not only has he recovered, he has advanced his cultivation!"
"Isn't his medical skills a little too incredible?"
The crowd in the tavern could hardly believe their eyes.
Even the pedant from before widened his mouth in shock. "I … I … I … I don't know if it's appropriate for me to say this …"
In the end, the other party was really treating him, and he even went over to advise him on it. Not to mention, he even spouted so much nonsense!
Just thinking about it made him feel like spurting blood.
Ignoring the shocked crowd, Zhang Xuan asked, "What happened two years ago that caused your cultivation to plummet?"
"I went to … the deep pit under the Imperial City!" Feng Jiuge paused for a moment before replying, "I accidentally stumbled into a secret dimension, and for some reason, I fell unconscious. When I woke up, I was already in this state. No one knows what happened to me …"
Zhang Xuan frowned. "The deep pit under the imperial city?"
Spirit Origin Royal City was floating above a massive crater. What was the point of participating in the trial there?
Could it be that this pit was related to some secret?
"This pit suddenly appeared several decades ago, causing the entire Spirit Origin City to collapse. The city that we are currently in was rebuilt by the Fire Feather Conferred God King and the other God Kings after expending a great deal of their divinity. They even used the feather of the Deathless Monarch to lift it up! "
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was confused, Feng Jiu Ge explained.
As a descendant of the clan, even though these matters were confidential, he still knew a little about them.
"The entire Spirit Origin City … collapsed?" Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in astonishment.
He had never heard of this from anyone else.
When he first arrived at Spirit Origin Royal City, he had been perplexed as to why such a huge city would be built on top of a crater and float in midair. Yet, it turned out that the city had already fallen into the crater!
Every single royal city in the Nine Skies occupied the very core of the world, and they were able to gather the Anima of Yearning and luck of the world. As such, under normal circumstances, capital cities wouldn't be moved.
Several decades ago, the royal city had collapsed, and in order to stabilize the regime, they had no choice but to build a new capital on top of it.
That was how the floating city came to be.
"If the city collapsed overnight, what happened to the people living in it?" Zhang Xuan asked.
If the city had collapsed, where did the gods who had lived in it go? And where did the people living in the city come from?
"I wasn't born back then, so I don't know the details. However, according to the elders in my clan, even though the collapse was very sudden, the Deathless Monarch still put his life on the line to protect the city. Only those who had reached God realm managed to escape," Feng Jiu Ge said.
"However, Teacher, you should know that most of the people in the Firmament have yet to reach God realm. In other words, nearly ninety percent of the people in Spirit Origin Royal City have died in the calamity. As for whether they have died or are still living at the bottom of the crater, no one knows. That's because the crater is simply too deep. Even a Conferred God King like the old ancestor is unable to reach it!"
The hierarchy of life in the Firmament was shaped like a pyramid.
Most of the people in the pyramid were ordinary people, or in other words, Semi-Divinities. Only ten percent of them were qualified to cultivate and advance to higher realms.
"The sudden appearance of a crater and the disappearance of ninety percent of the people in the city …" Zhang Xuan's body jolted as the name 'City of Collapsed Space' suddenly surfaced in his mind.
According to legend, the City of Collapsed Space had fallen from the sky several thousand years ago. Under the corrosion of the spiritual energy of the Azure, the living beings and buildings in the city had degenerated into an aura of degeneration, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to enter.
Could this be related to Spirit Origin Royal City?
The reason why Zhang Xuan had such a thought was not without reason. He had seen the tomb of the Deathless Monarch in the City of Collapsed Space!
If he thought about it further, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and the Starchaser Palace of the Azure shared a common origin, and the fact that the Starchaser Palace possessed the altar in the City of Collapsed Space meant that there was a deep connection between the two.
Could it be that Spirit Origin Royal City had fallen from the sky, and some of the living beings in the city had interbred with the Starchaser Palace? Some of the living beings in the city had broken through space and entered the Master Teacher Continent, becoming the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?
In other words, the ancestors of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and Starchaser Palace were actually the gods of the Sky of Spirit Origin!
If that was really the case, that would truly be terrifying!
Just what kind of power was it that was able to kill the supposedly undying Deathless Monarch and bring countless living beings into the lower worlds?
Zhang Xuan had experienced it himself, so he knew how difficult it was to traverse the Dimension Barrier. Even an expert of Lozosy's caliber had nearly died in the process, and yet, those who weren't even gods were able to traverse the Dimension Barrier at the same time …
This was truly unimaginable!
Of course, these were just his guesses. Perhaps, he would only be able to understand them after meeting Lozosy or Kong Shi.
"Right, Little Vicious, is it possible for your ancestors to possess the bloodline of the gods of the Sky of Spirit Origin?"
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan asked.
Vicious had been sealed in the Book of Heaven's Path, and he had followed Zhang Xuan to the Firmament. During this period of time, he had been cultivating with the God Essence Pills that Zhang Xuan had given him, and his cultivation had already surpassed the limits of the gods, reaching the realm of low-tier Celestial God.
