Chapter 2206: Invitation from the Free Heaven

"You blocked my strike, so today's matter ends here!"

As a Sovereign, he could not go back on his word. No matter what means the other had used, since he had blocked the full force of that will's attack, the giant face snorted: "You may go!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the little yellow chick could devour the giant face, this was still the Linglong Heaven. Once the true body made a move, even ten of him would not be able to withstand it.

Thus, being able to leave safely was the best outcome.

"Master Fu Dan, I am grateful for your help in alchemy. Earlier, I elevated your cultivation and guided you during the alchemy process, which should be enough to benefit you for a lifetime and repay your alchemical assistance!"

Zhang Xuan turned around.

This Fu Jiangchen, though he had betrayed him at a critical moment to help Baiye Qinghong, had been coerced by the other party, so he could not be blamed.

"Thank you, Master Zhang..."

Fu Jiangchen bowed, not daring to say a word.

Previously, he had regarded the other as a junior, but now that the other could easily slay a titled god king and devour a Sovereign's will, he no longer harbored such thoughts.

Moreover, the other had already given him enough, while he had not dared to acknowledge him at the critical moment...

"Qiqi..."

Looking at the girl not far away, Zhang Xuan's eyes were filled with guilt.

She had given so much for him, yet he could do nothing for her.

Not knowing how to speak, he saw the girl's bright eyes look over: "Master Zhang, can I... still follow you and continue learning alchemy?"

"Of course!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

"That's good..." Luo Qiqi smiled gently, like a blooming flower. She looked again at the giant face in the sky, knelt down, and said: "I am grateful to the Sovereign for rescuing me from the spatial turbulence and bestowing countless resources, allowing me to quickly elevate my cultivation and gain my current strength! Qiqi will never be able to repay this in her lifetime!"

The giant face frowned.

"Qiqi once told the Sovereign that as long as she had news of him, she would go no matter how dangerous. Now that he is before me, I am willing to leave with him. I hope the Sovereign will not stop me!" Luo Qiqi kowtowed heavily a few times and said.

The giant face paused for a moment and sighed: "When he refined the Beauty Pill and the Barrier-Breaking Pill, I already knew the news. Fearing you would leave, I kept it secret. I didn't expect it would come to this..."

Zhang Xuan had caused such a commotion in the Netherworld Heaven; how could the Sovereign not know?

She had only worried that Luo Qiqi would leave upon hearing the news, so she kept it secret. Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, the other had still come here and caused an even bigger stir...

He really was not a fuel-efficient lamp!

She truly wondered what a good girl like Qiqi saw in him...

"Go... pursue your own happiness! I don't believe the one he likes can be better than you!"

The giant face said.

Qiqi liked the one before her, and he liked someone else. Though she was not entirely clear, she knew something of it.

This girl brought from the spatial turbulence had a true form of the Still Void Pearl, which was even a treasure in the Divine Realm. That was why she could reach the peak of god king in such a short time, incredibly powerful.

With such talent and brilliance, there was almost no one in the Divine Realm who could compare. As long as she followed this fellow, he would surely change his mind.

"Thank you, Sovereign!" Luo Qiqi's face lit up with joy as she looked at the young man not far away.

On the Master Teacher Continent, after learning he had left, she had followed him desperately, never expecting to reach the Divine Realm in one go.

She had thought it would take a long time to reunite, but unexpectedly, they met again so soon.

Nodding at Qiqi and shielding her behind him, Zhang Xuan looked at the giant face before him and clasped his fists: "Qiqi has been saved and carefully cared for by the Sovereign. This kindness must be repaid..."

"What will you use to repay? Killing my titled god king and devouring my will?" the giant face snorted.

Not mentioning repayment, she would not be angry.

But once he did, she was too furious to speak.

As soon as you arrived, you killed one of my titled god kings, and just now you used your beast pet to devour one of my wills...

Though it was no loss to her, it was a loss of face!

"Of course not..." Zhang Xuan smiled awkwardly and said: "If I am not mistaken, the Sovereign should have... poor sleep, often suffering from insomnia!"

The Sovereign's true body could not be seen through by the Library, but a single will could still reveal some flaws.

This Linglong Fairy was extremely powerful, ranking among the Nine Sovereigns, but she also had a fatal flaw—insomnia!

Normally, with her level of cultivation, even ten thousand years without sleep would cause no harm. But many experts still used sleep to regulate and relax themselves.

After all, having reached the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, they had no desires and no need for intense cultivation. Without rest or sleep, one would become unusually anxious.

The one before her was exactly like that.

The giant face frowned.

He was right; she did suffer from insomnia and could not fall asleep no matter what. But how did he know?

Even Qiqi was unaware of this matter.

"Rest assured, Sovereign. As an alchemist, though I don't know how to solve it now, over time I will surely find a way! Solving this problem can also be considered repayment for your kindness to Qiqi..."

Zhang Xuan clasped his fists.

His current cultivation was too weak; he could do nothing about something even a Sovereign could not solve. However, as his cultivation increased, the so-called difficulty would become nothing.

"I will wait..."

Seeing him say this, the giant face said no more. With a "whoosh," it disappeared from the air as if it had never appeared.

"Let's go!" Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and called to Luo Qiqi.

Since the girl was willing to go with him, why not take her?

Luo Qiqi nodded.

The two gently flickered and flew straight out of the city.

...

In the Netherworld Imperial City, inside a huge palace floating in the air, a woman stood with her hands behind her back, watching Zhang Xuan and the other leave.

If Zhang Xuan could see her face clearly, he would be surprised to find it exactly the same as the giant face just now.

Linglong Heaven, Linglong Fairy!

"Ask the world what love is, that it teaches life and death to promise..."

Sighing, Linglong Fairy murmured to herself: "Qiqi, I hope this choice is right! But you are so outstanding; it's impossible for him not to like you and instead like someone weaker than you. Hmph, if I find out who that person is, I will teach them a good lesson..."

Before she finished speaking, the space before her suddenly shook, and a golden list appeared abruptly.

Her pupils contracted, and Linglong Fairy quickly bowed, not daring to breathe.

"Linglong Heaven, Linglong Fairy, hear my command!"

The golden list suddenly spoke: "Proceed immediately to the Free Heaven without delay!"

"The Spirit Rhyme Sovereign wants to see me?"

Linglong Fairy was startled but dared not disobey: "Yes!"

Without daring to say more, she flickered and vanished from the spot.
