Back in the Sanctum of Sages, he had gotten along well with Zhang Xuan, and they had become close friends.
Later on, due to his younger sister's matter, they fell out and stopped interacting with each other. However, deep in his heart, he still saw Zhang Xuan as a friend as well as a rival.
It was just that this fellow's cultivation speed was simply too fast, breaking through layer after layer, creating countless legends …
He had thought that it would be impossible for him to catch up to the Master Teacher Continent, but who could have known that there would be a huge time difference between the Firmament and the Master Teacher Continent.
Since that was the case, catching up to the other party … shouldn't be too difficult!
Including the time spent in the Firmament, Zhang Xuan had only cultivated for slightly more than a month. As long as he was serious and diligent, it wouldn't be difficult for him to catch up to Zhang Xuan's cultivation and beat him up!
"Defeat Zhang Xuan?"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's confident words, Hu Yaoyao and Yu Fei-er glanced at one another before shaking their heads. "As long as you're happy …"
They had been unable to catch up to Zhang Xuan previously, and they did not think that they would be able to catch up to him once they reached the Firmament. However, if he was just a high-tier God as they had guessed, there was not much of a gap between him and Zhang Xuan.
Even if he couldn't surpass him, he could still catch up to him and advance together!
Thinking of this, the two of them were filled with enthusiasm.
"So beautiful … This expert who has obtained the recognition of the heavens and earth is also our idol …"
Looking up at the sky, the two of them sighed.
…
Zhang Xuan didn't care about the shocked gazes of the nine emperors around him. He closed his eyes and sensed the changes in his mind.
Conferred God King realm primary stage!
Conferred God King intermediate stage!
…
A Conferred God King!
In less than a minute, his soul cultivation had risen from God King realm pinnacle to Conferred God King realm pinnacle.
Most importantly, it didn't stop and continued to increase.
The Title of Heaven and Earth instantly raised his soul by several levels, making it even more terrifying than the Anima of Will.
"Now isn't the time for me to become a God Monarch …"
Letting out a breath, Zhang Xuan suppressed the increasing soul power.
The Conferred God Kings of the Nine Skies were equivalent to the God Monarchs of the Nine Skies. Under normal circumstances, he would be able to push for a breakthrough to the God Monarch realm in a single go. However, his zhenqi cultivation was simply too low. If he were to really do so, he would attract the Heavenly Tribulation of the God Monarchs, and he could foresee that he would be crushed into dust without being able to retaliate at all.
If that really happened, then he would become the first Imperial Monarch in history to be killed by a calamity right after breaking through.
If this were to spread out, it would be embarrassing enough!
Therefore, he decisively suppressed his soul that was about to advance.
In any case, Xiao Chen had already comprehended a Sovereign Emperor level Cultivation Technique. It would not be too late to break through after his Veritable Energy and physical body had accumulated enough.
"It's alright …"
Seeing that he could still be so rational in this situation, Lozosy immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Sometimes, it wasn't better to break through as quickly as possible. Instead, one had to take it one step at a time in order to display a stronger combat strength!
The man in front of her, the man she liked and liked, indeed had inhuman courage and perseverance.
"I'm going to look for a way to resolve the War of the Heavens. Are you coming with me, or …"
After stabilizing his energy, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief before turning to look at the young lady before him.
Now that they had met again and resolved their inner demons, it was only natural that Zhang Xuan did not want to be separated.
"I need to go back … There are some things that I need to do … I'll come find you after I'm done!" Lozosy's eyes were filled with reluctance.
There was something that had to be done as soon as possible. There was no way he could refuse.
"Alright!" Zhang Xuan nodded. He turned to Little Chick and said, "Let's go!"
"Un!" Little Chick nodded. With a wave of his hand, the two of them tore open a rift in space and vanished on the spot.
Lozosy glanced at them for a moment before vanishing into thin air as well.
Only then did the other God Monarchs follow suit.
They had been shocked by the earlier battle, and it seemed like they were about to witness the birth of yet another God Monarch.
If it was the previous Heaven Subjugation Monarch, they might have had other plans in mind. They could have tried to rope him in or stop him from growing, but this time, God Monarch Lingxi was God Monarch Lingxi's girlfriend and the Deathless Monarch his tamed beast …
They simply did not dare to do so!
…
Returning back to the mountain where Kong Shi was located …
"Zhang Shi!"
Ancient Sage Zi Yuan and the others rushed up to him.
"Kong Shi …" Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
"We already know about it …" Ancient Sage Zi Yuan nodded. "Earlier, when our teacher's sculpture in the room shattered, we knew that our teacher's soul had dissipated!"
"My condolences …"
Knowing that these students of Kong Shi had spent many years with him, and their feelings for him had long surpassed that of a father and son, Zhang Xuan consoled them.
Ancient Sage Zi Yuan shook his head. "There's nothing to be sorry about. We don't believe that our teacher would leave us just like that!"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. "I saw his soul dissipate with my own eyes. Doesn't that mean that he's completely dead?"
The dissipation of a person's soul was equivalent to the complete disappearance of a person.
However, Ancient Sage Zi Yuan refused to believe it.
"Just because one's soul has dissipated doesn't mean that one is dead. Isn't the Netherworld Pool in the Sky of Drifting Specter capable of reviving a person whose soul has dissipated? Furthermore, the Deathless Monarch's soul dissipated several decades ago as well. Hasn't he already made a full recovery? "Ancient Sage Zi Yuan asked.
"This …" Zhang Xuan's body jolted in astonishment.
Indeed!
The Netherworld Pool was capable of using the Anima of Yearning to revive a person whose soul had dissipated. The Deathless Monarch was also capable of reviving a person after his death. Given how powerful Kong Shi was, how could he possibly not have some sort of trump card up his sleeves?
It was laughable that Ancient Sage Zi Yuan had been so heartbroken just a moment ago. Perhaps, Zhang Xuan had already found another way to revive him!
Just that …
"Even if he's revived, will he still be the same person?"
A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind.
While the Deathless Monarch had been revived, he had turned into Little Chick. He was no longer the same person as before.
Even the Netherworld Pool was only capable of reviving a person's soul.
There was no way to tell whether a newly revived soul would retain the same memories and consciousness as before.
"It must be!" Ancient Sage Zi Yuan nodded.
"Why are you so certain?" Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.
Clearly, Ancient Sage Zi Yuan knew something, or else he would not have reacted in such a manner.
Ancient Sage Zi Yuan turned to Little Chick and asked, "My God Monarch, can I trouble you to seal off this hall and isolate the will of the heavens?"
"Alright!" Little Chick nodded. With a wave of his hand, a surge of energy shrouded the entire hall, isolating it from the world.
Ancient Sage Zi Yuan turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"I'll give it a try!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
The isolation of the heavens in the hall was futile because Zhang Xuan was the heavens themselves, and he had the Library of Heaven's Path in his mind.
It was similar to what had happened to the Seer Guild branch back then. As long as he was around, the heavens would be able to see through him.
With a thought, Zhang Xuan infused his powerful soul energy into the Library of Heaven's Path.
This might have been impossible for him in the past, but after comprehending the cultivation technique of a God Monarch, it was not too difficult for him to do so.
"Alright, I'm done!" Zhang Xuan said.
Seeing that the heavens had been isolated from the world, Ancient Sage Zi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "Zhang Shi, have you heard of the cultivation technique that my teacher practices … Severance of Three Corpses?"
