Chapter 2224 The Visitation of a Monarch

Some time later, the pressure emanated by the massive phoenix finally subsided. The massive phoenix morphed into a young man, who walked out to the rubble to appear before Zhang Xuan and Luo Qiqi.

Looking to be around sixteen or seventeen, the young man had a tall but slightly thin figure. Contrary to what Little Chick had been exclaiming all this while, his face did not look heaven-defyingly suave. Instead, he appeared to be more youthful.

It would be hard to think of this youthful man as the highest being in the Sky of Spirit Origin, one of the God Monarchs of the Firmament.

“You are... Little Chick?”

“Master,” the young man replied with a slight smile.

Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.

It looked like what he had feared the most did not happen in the end. The other party was still the haughty and boastful Little Chick who had followed him from the Master Teacher Continent.

“Master, I have just recovered my powers, so I need some time to reinforce my cultivation. I’ll cultivate here for a little longer so as to save time. For the time being, you should return to the Firmament. Once I’m done, I’ll head over to meet up with you right away!”

“Alright.” Zhang Xuan nodded.

If they were going to face two of the strongest God Monarchs of the Firmament, they would definitely have to be in their best condition, or else their efforts would only end in futility. Time in the Azure flowed a hundred times faster than in the Firmament, so it would be much better to cultivate where he was.

“Feng Yao, thank you for guarding me all this while. I shall restore your body and your powers now.” The young man turned to the black skeleton and tapped his finger lightly in the air.

A droplet of blood flew forth from his hand and seeped into the forehead of the black skeleton.

Tzzz!

Flesh and blood began growing out of the black skeleton before the piercing call of a phoenix echoed in the air. The black skeleton suddenly burst into flames, and a large phoenix rose out of the flames.

The large phoenix quickly transmogrified into the form of a middle-aged man in a golden helmet and armor.

He was one of the most loyal guardians of the Deathless Monarch, guarding his grave for the past thousands of years, awaiting his return.

“Let’s head back...”

Knowing that nothing would happen to Little Chick there, Zhang Xuan called for Luo Qiqi once more. They quickly traversed through space and returned to the Azure.

Heading to a higher world from a lower world was much easier than the other way around. The two of them slowly released the seal of their cultivation, and soon, they caught the eye of the heavens of the Azure and were expelled into the chaotic space.

It was then that Zhang Xuan finally released his full cultivation as a God King, and he immediately sensed the summoning of the Firmament. Without any hesitation, they followed the summoning to head to the Firmament.

...

Half a day later, with a sudden jolt, the two of them landed on the ground.

Looking around the area, Zhang Xuan realized that they were at the Grand Spirit Mountain, the place where he had first arrived in the Firmament with Zhao Ya and the others.

“Where are we going now?” Luo Qiqi asked.

“We’ll first be heading to Drifting Specter Royal City before teleporting to the Sky of Freedom via the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation!” Zhang Xuan said.

Possessing the strength of God Kings, they no longer needed the City Lord Token to use the Minor Displacement Teleportation Formation. Soon enough, they arrived at Drifting Specter Royal City.

This time, instead of leaving right away, he led Luo Qiqi over to his residence.

He wanted to pass the God King Breakthrough Pill that he had forged a while back at the Sky of Linglong over to his parents and Sun Qiang so that they could quickly become God Kings. This way, they would be able to protect themselves.

Not wanting to cause a huge commotion, he discreetly made his way over to his residence without incurring anyone’s notice.

“Young Master!”

As soon as Zhang Xuan entered the residence, Sun Qiang rushed forward to welcome him with an agitated look on his face.

Over the past few days, Sun Qiang’s cultivation had reached middle-tier Celestial God. It was clear that he had been working hard in order to raise his cultivation realm this quickly.

“Where are my parents?” Zhang Xuan asked.

“They are currently in the courtyard chatting with a guest,” Sun Qiang replied.

“A guest?” Zhang Xuan frowned.

Gedeng!

Feeling a bad premonition, he quickly rushed over to the courtyard, and there, he saw his parents sitting together with a guest sipping on fine tea.

The guest was a young man in his early twenties. He had a well-defined face that showed hints of unshakeable resilience. There was an aura of cool rationality around him, and his eyes felt deep, as if they were gazing into the future.

What really left Zhang Xuan unnerved was how he was unable to sense the depths of the young man’s cultivation.

Behind the young man stood an elder whose back was slightly lowered. He stood firmly in his position, not moving or saying anything at all.

“Is he... a God Monarch?” Zhang Xuan’s eyebrows shot up in horror.

After hearing Sun Qiang’s words, he used the Spiritual Perception to scan the entire courtyard, but he could only sense his parents’ presence. If not for the fact that he was seeing the young man with his own two eyes, he would not have known that the other party was sitting there!

Based on this alone, it was clear that the young man’s strength far exceeded his.

He might just be a God King at the moment, but with the Pathos of Heaven’s cultivation technique and sword art, he would be able to put up a fight against Conferred God Kings. If he had to face Baiye Qinghong once more, he would be able to crush her easily without relying on the golden page.

Yet, despite his strength, he did not think that he would be a match for the young man sitting before him.

To make matters worse, his parents were actually sitting at the same table as him. How could he not be horrified?

Upon seeing him, Sword Saint Meng immediately said with a smile, “This is my son, Zhang Xuan!”

It appeared that she was oblivious to how powerful the young man seated before her was.

With a nod, the young man shot a glance over. It was just a look, but Zhang Xuan felt as if there was a sword severing through space to crush his soul.

In fact, even the Library of Heaven’s Path was trembling nonstop, as if it was fearful of the existence before it.

“Are you the God Monarch of the Sword Hut?” Zhang Xuan asked.

Based on what he had heard so far, there were two elusive individuals among the Nine God Monarchs. One of them was God Monarch Lingxi of the Sky of Freedom, and the other was the God Monarch of the Sky of Heavenly Sword.

Even if the Sword Hut did not seek talented geniuses and confer new God Kings, there was still no God Monarch who would dare wreak havoc in the Sky of Heavenly Sword.

Clearly, the God Monarch of the Sword Hut possessed strength that struck fear in the hearts of the other God Monarchs.

“Take a seat,” the young man said.

Zhang Xuan knew that he would not be able to stop the young man if the latter really made a move against him. Thus, he quietly walked over and took a seat.

The elder behind him gracefully took a step forward and served him a cup of tea.

Zhang Xuan accepted the cup of tea while feeling a little jittery inside. “If it’s not too rude, may I know the reason behind the God Monarch’s visit?”

If a God Monarch wanted to meet him, he could have just sent a Conferred God King over to invite him to his palace. Yet, this God Monarch had gone all the way over to his residence, and from the current looks of it, it felt like not even the Qiankun Demon Monarch of the Sky of Drifting Specter had noticed his presence.

This was really a little worrying.

The young man did not respond to Zhang Xuan’s question. Instead, he began to assess Zhang Xuan as if he was trying to evaluate the worth of a treasure, and soon, a conflicted look surfaced on his face.

A moment later, he put down his teacup and asked, “Can you demonstrate the sword art that you’ve just comprehended for me?”

“Sword art?” Zhang Xuan frowned.

Was the God Monarch of the Sword Hut there just to watch his sword art?

Well... that might just be the case!

Due to the limitations of his strength, the sword art he had comprehended was probably still nothing much to the God Monarchs. However, there was no denying the fact that it was a battle technique that had surpassed the heavens, making it one of the finest sword arts in the Firmament.

As a renowned sword practitioner of the Firmament, it was not too surprising for the God Monarch to want to see and analyze it.

With that thought in mind, Zhang Xuan finally heaved a sigh of relief.
