Chapter 2180 Sky of Spirit Origin

After his initial delight, Zhang Xuan could not help but feel a little self-conscious.

It had been a month since he arrived at the Firmament, but he had only managed to cultivate up to high-tier Celestial God thus far. He could not even match up to a chick.

Just thinking about it made him feel so upset that he could hardly breathe.

Was his talent really that bad?

It seemed like he would have to spend more time on his cultivation in order to make up for his lack of talent then! He really needed to become a God King as soon as possible. He would not be able to lift his head up if he could not even match a chick in terms of cultivation!

This little yellow chick had been with him ever since his time at the Sanctum of Sages on the Master Teacher Continent. They had been through the Kunxu Domain and the Azure, and after so long, it was still ahead of him in terms of cultivation. If it had been anyone else, he would surely have felt suicidal.

“I just woke, burp, up!”

Little Chick stretched its neck as it patted its round tummy with its wings. It suddenly looked at Zhang Xuan worriedly with its beady eyes and asked, “You won’t blame me for eating that fellow, right?”

It had been scolded many times by Zhang Xuan for eating things that it should not have.

“It’s fine. Feel free to eat it,” Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand. “If it’s not enough, you can eat the others who are coming after me too!”

If Little Chick had not awoken in time, there was a good chance that he would have used the golden page to subdue the God King. In a sense, it did save him from a great deal of potential trouble in the future.

“Thanks, boss!” Little Chick grinned in delight.

Then, its beak suddenly puffed up, and it spat out a sword.

“This is the weapon that fellow was using. I have already erased the Soul Imprint on it, so you should be able to use it after you enchant and tame it!”

While swallowing the God King, it had also swallowed his weapon.

Zhang Xuan picked up the sword and swiftly enchanted and tamed it. Once that was done, he looked at Little Chick and directed a nod of approval toward it.

As expected of someone who had traveled through three worlds with him. At least it still had some conscience.

As the sword was a God King artifact, if Little Chick had not removed the Soul Imprint and weapon spirit in it, he would not have been able to enchant or tame it. With such a powerful weapon in his arsenal, his fighting prowess immediately increased a great deal.

With the three sword arts that he had comprehended, even if he encountered another God King, he should be able to put up a decent fight against the other party!

Looking at the reverberating sword in his hand, Zhang Xuan raised it into the air and proudly declared, “From this day forth, you shall be called… God King Sword!”

Wu!

The reverberation abruptly halted. It seemed like the spirit within the sword had fallen into a daze.

I am a dignified God King artifact! Others have cool names such as Empty Spring, Dancing Swallow, Venom Dragon, Hidden Canary, Fish Guts, and the like, such that people know their class just by hearing their name…

What the heck’s with my God King Sword?

Can you be any more perfunctory than this?

“You don’t like it?” Zhang Xuan stroked his lower jaw contemplatively. “Well, you were a gift from Little Chick. Why don’t we go with Chicky Sword?”

Aooo!

The sword nearly fell to the ground in shock. It immediately zipped up its mouth and refrained from making any noise. Fine! So be it, God King Sword!

At least it sounds better than Chicky Sword.

After confirming its name, Zhang Xuan tried to execute a Sword Formation through it, and indeed, it felt exceptionally smooth. He was able to channel his full strength through it with ease.

Satisfied with the weapon, he nodded with a pleased smile.

Even though it had been a dangerous fight, he had managed to get quite a few things out of the battle. He had gained some experience fighting a God King, and he had obtained this Chicky… ah, God King Sword!

Using it together with his newly comprehended sword art, he would be able to put up a fight against ordinary God Kings and even slay them!

More importantly, he had also finally managed to verify that his body really had an extraordinarily powerful regenerative prowess that did not pale in comparison to that of his clone at all!

As long as his soul was not destroyed, even if his head was lopped off, he would still be able to recover easily.

It was no exaggeration to say that he had gained a deathless body!

Wait a moment… Zhang Xuan thought. Could this be because the energy that I’ve absorbed has Little Chick’s blood mixed into it?

In the history of the Qi Clan, there had been many cultivators who entered the Lucid Lunar Lake. However, there had never been a case where any one of them gained a deathless body like him.

Now that he thought about it, Little Chick had been there with him, and its blood had seeped into the lake when it was killed by the violent energies within. Could that have something to do with this?

Little Chick had been revealing many unique abilities ever since his time in the Azure. While it was still a gourd, its bathwater had been even more effective than the Heaven’s Path zhenqi in healing injuries.

Furthermore, it had been blasted into bits several times, but each time, it had revived successfully without any issues.

Even though it was still unsure what kind of ‘legendary beast’ it was, it was clear that normal damage would not pose any harm to it. Instead, it seemed to nourish it!

Each time it died, it would come back stronger than ever!

Was that why his fighting prowess seemed to go up when he sustained more and more injuries while fighting against the God King earlier?

“Little Chick, are you able to transmogrify yet?” Zhang Xuan asked curiously.

Ordinary divine beasts were able to transmogrify once their cultivation reached low-tier God. Some stronger beasts required their cultivation to reach high-tier God before they were able to transmogrify.

As for Pureblooded Dragons like Ao Hua, they needed their cultivation to reach high-tier Celestial God before they were able to morph into humans.

Given that Little Chick was already a God King, it should be able to transmogrify, right?

“I haven’t given it a try yet, but I think it should be possible…” Little Chick glanced at its fluffy body as it replied uncertainly.

“Give it a try then,” Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

With a nod, Little Chick began to drive the energy within its body.

Hu!

Its little yellow body shuddered a little before swiftly morphing into a tall, well-built human body.

“I succeeded… I actually managed to transmogrify!” Little Chick exclaimed excitedly.

It turned to look at its master, hoping to share its joy with him. However, its master simply stared at it with googly eyes before smacking his own forehead in exasperation.

“Huh? What’s wrong? Do I not look handsome to you?” Little Chick asked in bewilderment.

All this while, it had been thinking that it would transmogrify into a tall, dashing man and make its master envious.

It did not expect its master to react in such a manner. What did he mean by that facepalm?

Perplexed, Little Chick reached out to touch its own face, only to freeze on the spot.

“Eh? Why didn’t my head transform?”

At this very moment, even though its body had turned into that of a human, its face remained that of a yellow chick. From afar, it looked like a little chick with a monstrously well-toned body.

It had hoped to become dashing once it transmogrified, but if it really walked down a crowded street in its current form…there would probably be no more effective social distancing method than this!

“I think you should drop the idea of transmogrifying. Just be content with being the chick you are,” Zhang Xuan said helplessly.

Knowing that it would really scare people off in its current form, the stifled Little Chick returned to its little fluffy body and nested itself on Zhang Xuan’s shoulder.

“Let’s go!”

Zhang Xuan walked over to one of the injured aerial celestial beasts and treated its injuries. Soon, he was well on his way toward the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation on its back.

“The God King earlier is an unaffiliated cultivator…”

During the earlier battle, Zhang Xuan had used the Library of Heaven’s Path to check his opponent’s background, and it turned out that he was just an unaffiliated cultivator in the Sky of Drifting Specters.

Thinking about it, that did make sense. Those who were in a clan did not have the privilege to take such a risk and act recklessly. Otherwise, they risked being obliterated by the Qi Clan.

As good as the Beauty Pill and Breakthrough Pill were, they were not worth gambling an entire clan’s fate on.

Knowing that there was no greater power behind the God King who assaulted him, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. It would have been annoying if he got involved in a whole string of incidents as a result of this.

Fortunately, there were no more attempts by other cultivators along the way. He arrived at the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation without a hitch.

At the peak of the mountain were dozens of towering pillars. Each of them was around several hundred meters tall, and they warded off the surrounding spiritual energy. Most likely, the Teleportation Formation was located at the center of these pillars.

The Great Displacement Teleportation Formation required significant manipulation of spatial laws, so the surrounding spiritual energy had to be as stable as possible. For this reason, the pillars were erected in order to limit any disturbances from the surroundings.

Zhang Xuan directed the aerial celestial beast to land a distance away from the Teleportation Formation. To not reveal the fact that he could fly, he walked over a step at a time.

At the entrance, a guard stepped forward and blocked Zhang Xuan’s path, saying, “Please show your token!”

Qi Ling-er had really not been exaggerating when she mentioned that the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation was tightly guarded.

There were over a hundred cultivators on standby here, and every single one of them possessed the strength of a high- tier Celestial God. With their combined prowess, even a God King would have some trouble trying to bypass them.

It seemed like the Sky of Drifting Specters really viewed the Teleportation Formation with great importance. That explained why it was so difficult to obtain the right to use it.

Zhang Xuan passed his token over.

The guard examined the token carefully before clasping his fist respectfully. “Young Master Zhang, this way please!”

Those who were able to obtain the token were all the top experts in their respective fields in each of the Skies. The guards would not dare to offend them.

Following the guard, it was not long before Zhang Xuan was brought before the Teleportation Formation.

However, it was a little different from what he had expected. There was no circular formation where one had to adjust the coordinates and altitude before activating it, which was how normal Teleportation Formations worked.

However, what he saw instead was a cylindrical room with eight doors.

“Young Master Zhang, may I know which Sky you are planning to visit?”

“I intend to head to the capital of the Sky of Spirit Origin, Spirit Origin Royal City,” Zhang Xuan replied.

“Please take the southern door over there.” The guard pointed the way.

With a grateful nod, Zhang Xuan walked toward the door with Little Chick. He pushed open the door and entered it.

Beyond the door was a swirling screen of light.

When he stepped in, his token released a brilliant glow that enveloped him and Little Chick together. The next moment, the world began spinning around him as a mysterious energy swallowed him whole.

Hu!

He vanished from the spot.

The effects of the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation were much more fearsome than the Minor Displacement Tdeportation Formation. Even though Zhang XuarVs cultivation had already reached high-tier Celestial God, he still felt as if his body was going to be tom apart by the spatial turbulence.

When he was finally able to open his eyes once more, he was standing right before a door. He took some time to drive his energy and recover from the toll of the teleportation before opening the door.

The guard at the entrance standing on the other side of the door verified his token before allowing him to leave.

“Is this the Sky of Spirit Origin?” Zhang Xuan asked.

“Yes. The city over there is Spirit Origin Royal City!” the guard replied.

Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over, and he could not help but gasp a little in astonishment.

What appeared before him was a massive volcano with a large crater in the middle. The crater’s radius was thousands of li, making it impossible to see the other end at a glance. It was also hard to tell just how deep it was, especially since it was impossible to extend one’s Spiritual Perception into the volcano.

Above the crater floated a city that was made up of massive volcanic rocks placed together.

“Spirit Origin Royal City is floating?” Zhang Xuan was stunned.

The Sky of Drifting Specters had multiple floating mountains, but they were smaller, and they were resided by major powers within the city…

But the entire Spirit Origin Royal City was actually floating!

This sure was scary!
