Seeing their teacher's attitude of wanting to fight with them, everyone was stunned. After which, a thought flashed across their minds, and their faces twitched uncontrollably.
Zhao Ya covered her forehead and said in a weak voice, "Teacher is the Conferred King of the Nine Heavens …"
"…"
Zheng Yang and the others smiled awkwardly at the same time. They looked at the lotus leaf not far away and asked, "Teacher, what kind of treasure is this? We don't understand it at all …"
If he had known that the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies was his teacher, he wouldn't have acted so arrogantly!
Ever since he was on the Master Teacher Continent, every time he thought that he was strong enough to challenge his teacher, he would end up getting pummeled by the latter. If he really dared to make a move now, there was no doubt that he would be pummeled so badly that he would not be able to find his bearings anymore.
With a smile, Zhang Xuan said, "Let's not talk about Lianye for now. I'll let you make a move first …"
"I don't dare …" Zheng Yang said with a bitter face.
"You're welcome. Come at me together …" Zhang Xuan smiled.
Boom!
Just as the master and disciples were reunited with smiles on their faces, and the faces of Zheng Yang and the others were red and swollen, the lotus leaf in front of them shook again, and a rumbling sound echoed out.
The lotus leaf in the air had completely matured and was radiating a dazzling light.
Thick and pure spiritual energy was being emitted from it. Before they even got close, just absorbing it on the spot was enough to make everyone feel refreshed.
He looked at the lotus leaf.
There was a layer of special patterns circling around it, giving off a deep and majestic feeling.
"This is … the map and star chart of the Nine Heavens?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.
He had seen maps and star charts of the Sky of Spirit Origin before, so he was extremely familiar with them. He had also been to the Sky of Drifting Specter and the Sky of Linglong, and he had seen many of the geographical features there with his own eyes. Yet, the patterns on the massive lotus leaf had actually marked out all of them without the slightest error!
"Not only that, but it also contains the aura of the Nine Heavens. What kind of plant is this?"
Zhang Xuan was surprised.
Xiao Chen had seen many treasures, nearly all of the Sovereign Emperors. However, this was his first time seeing a lotus leaf with a map of the Nine Heavens that contained the aura of the Nine Heavens.
Needless to say, if he really refined this thing, it would definitely be of great help to him.
In fact, it wouldn't even be difficult for him to push for a breakthrough to the God Monarch realm.
"Go!"
While he was still in shock, God Monarch Liu Yan shouted and charged towards Lianye.
They knew that once Zhao Ya and the others made a move, they would have no chance at all. They planned to strike first and gain the upper hand.
As long as he succeeded, he would immediately inform the God Monarch to leave the Flooding Sea. No matter how powerful these people were, they wouldn't dare to snatch it from the God Monarch's hands!
Several King Sovereigns acted at the same time, and a special fishing net seemed to form in the depths of the void. A powerful force condensed the surrounding space and enveloped the lotus leaf in front of them.
"Teacher …" Seeing that these people dared to beat them to it, Zhao Ya and Zheng Yang frowned.
They were willing to be beaten up by their teacher, but if their treasures were snatched away by these people, they would never forgive themselves.
"It won't be easy to obtain the lotus leaf. Let's observe it for now …" Zhang Xuan stopped the crowd.
He had no idea what kind of treasure the lotus leaf was, but from the patterns on its surface, he could tell that it harnessed the aura of the Nine Skies. Just that alone was enough to tell that it was not something that ordinary Conferred God Kings could deal with.
Sure enough, it was just as he had guessed. Just as everyone arrived in front of the lotus leaf, it lightly swayed, and the void seemed to shatter. Crack! Amidst the sound, ripples spread out.
Peng peng peng!
The Conferred God Kings who had charged forward were struck simultaneously. Visible wounds appeared on their chests, and they were sent flying with blood spurting from their mouths.
"How powerful …" Zheng Yang and the others narrowed their eyes in astonishment.
Their strength had already surpassed that of ordinary Conferred God Kings, but it was still impossible for them to injure so many Conferred God Kings in an instant.
In other words …
The power harnessed within the lotus leaf far surpassed theirs.
"Let's attack together!" Zhao Ya also realized this as well, and she turned to the crowd.
"Un!"
Taking in a deep breath, Zhang Xuan's eleven direct disciples charged forward as well.
These eleven direct disciples were indeed different from the Conferred God Kings from before. They had set up a formation right from the start, and their strength was already comparable to that of a God Monarch.
Unable to withstand the pressure, the surrounding space shattered into pieces. Spatial turbulence burst forth from the surroundings of the lotus leaf.
The lotus leaf was no longer able to fend off the attacks as easily as before. It abruptly expanded, and as if a heavenly veil that encompassed the heavens, it swept forward to engulf the crowd.
"This is bad!"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in horror. He hurriedly charged forward, and with a flick of his wrist, he swung his sword down.
The lingering Sword Intent harnessed a sense of determination and protection as it shot toward the lotus leaf. Just as it was about to strike the lotus leaf, the massive lotus leaf suddenly shook once more. In an instant, Zhang Xuan felt the space around him warping, and the next moment, he found himself standing on a massive continent.
The continent was so vast that he could not see the end of it.
"I've returned to the Firmament?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
The continent beneath his feet was completely different from the Flooding Sea. It felt like he had returned to the Firmament.
"No, that's not right. I was swept into the Map of the Nine Skies on the surface of the lotus leaf!"
Zhang Xuan soon realized that something was amiss.
The real Nine Skies carried a vast aura that connected the Myriad Worlds. On the other hand, this was clearly a miniature version of the Nine Skies. While it felt similar, there was a huge disparity between the two.
"Teacher …"
Turning around, Zhang Xuan saw Zhao Ya and the others flying over. They seemed to be completely unscathed.
Only then did Zhang Xuan heave a sigh of relief. "There's something weird about this lotus leaf. It's actually able to envelop us within it …"
Given their combined strength, they should have been able to defeat even ordinary God Monarchs. Yet, they were not even able to withstand the might of the lotus leaf.
Just what kind of God artifact was this for it to be so powerful?
"This is the flaw …"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up. With a flick of his wrist, he whipped out his sword once more.
He slashed his sword down toward the ground.
Since there was no way out, the only way out was through the ground.
No matter how powerful the lotus leaf was, there was no guarantee that it would be able to withstand his full-powered attack.
Infused with all of his essence, spirit, and soul, a brilliant sword qi burst forth.
Huala!
A massive fissure appeared on the ground, and concentrated spiritual energy gushed in. Zhang Xuan and the others leaped into the fissure, and the next moment, they saw a flustered Luo Qiqi.
"Are you alright?" Luo Qiqi asked anxiously.
Zhang Xuan shook his head and asked the question in his heart, "What kind of divine object is this?"
"I don't know either. I heard the injured Conferred God Kings say that it's called … Nine Heavens Lotus Leaf!"
Luo Qiqi replied.
She had overheard the discussion between Conferred God King Liu Yan and the others earlier.
"Nine Heavens Lotus Leaf?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. A familiar name suddenly surfaced in his mind. "Nine Heavens … Lotus Embryo?"
