"Don't use your zhenqi to resist the gray air currents!"
With Feng Jiuge's experience, Zhang Xuan knew that it was the gray air currents that were devouring the zhenqi in Zhang Xuan's body. Thus, he walked up to Luo Qiqi and tapped on her body repeatedly.
Even Heaven's Path zhenqi was unable to withstand the gray air currents, let alone those that she cultivated. The more she resisted, the faster her zhenqi would be depleted.
Zhang Xuan's Pathos of Heaven zhenqi flowed through his fingers and entered Luo Qiqi's body through her meridians. Soon, the gray air currents that were devouring her zhenqi were sealed.
Zhang Xuan swallowed some pills to replenish her stamina before driving the Heaven's Path Divine Art to form some Heaven's Path zhenqi and infusing it into Luo Qiqi's body.
Green light flickered, and the gray air currents were swiftly neutralized.
Without the gray air currents, Luo Qiqi regained her strength. However, her face was still pale, and her eyes were filled with fear.
If not for Zhang Xuan's swift reaction, not only would the gray air currents have devoured her cultivation, even her soul would have been corroded.
She might very well have ended up as an Otherworldly Demon just like the other gods in Spirit Origin City.
Back then, Feng Jiuge was still a distance away from being able to distort space, but he had already been chased out of his clan for two whole years. At this moment, the barrier formed by the gray air currents was at least a thousand times denser than what he had absorbed into his body, making it even more frightening.
"Don't cultivate or absorb any energy here. Once the gray air currents enter your body, you'll be in deep trouble …"
Zhang Xuan instructed.
Luo Qiqi and Little Chick nodded in agreement.
After what had happened earlier, they finally understood how fearsome the gray air currents were.
Even Little Chick, who possessed the ability to rise from the ashes, was unable to deal with it.
"Since my Pathos of Heaven zhenqi isn't afraid of the gray air currents, does that mean that I can withstand them?"
There was no energy that could withstand the gray air currents. His Pathos of Heaven zhenqi had transcended the heavens, and he had come into contact with the gray air currents before. It was clear that his zhenqi was the only way to pass through the gray air.
He wrapped his Pathos of Heaven zhenqi around his arm and dipped it into the gray air currents.
The gray air currents split apart, but his arm remained unharmed.
"It works …" Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. With a smile, he turned around and said, "Luo Qiqi, come closer to me."
Zhang released his zhenqi to form a barrier...
Luo Qiqi and Little Chick entered the barrier.
Zhang Xuan raised his foot and walked in.
Sizzle!
The grey fog continued to attack, emitting a corrosive sound, but it was unable to break through the power of the air shield.
After confirming that Luo Qiqi and Little Chick were unharmed, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and continued forward. However, less than a minute later, he suddenly came to a halt and retreated.
"What happened?"
Luo Qiqi frowned.
After leaving the range of the gray airflow, Zhang Xuan removed his air shield and gasped for air.
In just three minutes, the Pathos of Heaven zhenqi in his body had been completely depleted.
While the gray energy was unable to destroy the Pathos of Heaven zhenqi, there were simply too many of them. Under the immense pressure of the gray energy, Zhang Xuan's zhenqi was swiftly depleted.
On top of that, his Pathos of Heaven zhenqi had yet to recover fully. Given the current circumstances, it would be impossible for him to pass through this area.
"What I need to do now is to fill up the sea of my dantian … It would be best if I can achieve a breakthrough to God King!"
It took Zhang Xuan an hour before he finally recovered. He rubbed his glabella in frustration.
His dantian had been filled with Heaven's Path zhenqi, but it had dissipated into green light. He had to fill it up as soon as possible.
Only with sufficient zhenqi would he be able to pass through this area.
Otherwise, if he were to run out of zhenqi halfway through, he would really be in a dire situation.
It was easy for him to come up with such a plan, but … he had obtained three pinnacle God Essence Pills from Fu Jiangchen, and he had given the last one to Luo Qiqi. Without sufficient spiritual energy, it would be difficult for him to fill up the sea of zhenqi.
"If I really can't do it, I'll just have to consume the Pill King!"
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly.
The pill that contained the most spiritual energy was the Pill King. It was a treasure that could tempt even Conferred God Kings. If he consumed it, not only would he be able to fill up his dantian, he might even be able to push for a breakthrough to God King!
Just that …
He had yet to comprehend the God King realm cultivation technique!
The Pill King was his greatest trump card to achieve a breakthrough to God King. If he failed to do so, there was a good chance that it would go to waste.
"I've already comprehended the Pathos of Heaven cultivation technique. If I'm not mistaken, the next realm should be the Pathos of Parents!"
Zhang Xuan sat on the ground and fell into deep thought.
He had been an orphan in his previous life, and he had not spent much time with his parents in this life either. As such, he had long come up with the idea of a God King realm cultivation technique, but he had not been able to come up with anything.
Due to his inability to comprehend it, he had not been able to come up with a proper cultivation technique.
Thus, he had no choice but to give it a try.
The memories of his time with the Xingmeng Sword Saints surfaced in his mind.
In order to find him, his parents had gone through so much trouble. For him, they were willing to do anything, even disregarding their own lives.
Their ties were as deep as the sun and the moon.
But … even though he had thought of all of this, he still could not feel the feelings of a parent.
Sitting on the spot, Zhang Xuan pondered for several hours, but he was still unable to come up with anything. Eventually, he could only come to a halt. He turned to the young lady and asked, "What do you think the feelings of a parent are?"
Luo Qiqi was taken aback by Zhang Xuan's sudden question. Her face reddened as she replied, "I don't know either. Perhaps, I'll only be able to understand it after I have a child …"
If one did not raise a child, one would not understand the feelings of a parent.
The two of them were only in their early twenties, and they had not given birth to a child yet. Without such feelings, how could they possibly understand the greatness of a parent?
Seeing that the other party had misunderstood his words, Zhang Xuan could not help but feel a little awkward. He was just about to explain himself when Little Chick suddenly stretched its back lazily and buried its head in its wings. "Isn't it easy to have a child? There's no one here anyway, and you're a man and a woman. Don't worry, I won't look. I'll just cover my eyes …"
"…" Zhang Xuan's lips twitched.
He knew that this little chick was unreliable. Even though it knew that he was the Deathless Monarch, it still insisted on acting the same way.
Zhang Xuan turned to look at Luo Qiqi, only to see that her face was so red that it was about to burst into tears.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan said, "I'm going to make a breakthrough to the God King realm before I can bring you out of this gray current. I don't have the time to joke around!"
"Without a child, it's impossible for you to understand the feelings of a parent. In any case, it's just a matter of time. Once you have a child, you'll be able to understand the feelings of a parent."
Little Chick replied confidently.
Infuriated by Little Chick's shameless words, Zhang Xuan gave it a tight slap. "Let's talk about something more serious …"
Even if he were to have a child, it would still take ten months of pregnancy and several years of nurturing before he could truly understand the feelings of a parent. But he could not afford to wait that long.
