Chapter 2210 Feng Hanqiu
Library of Heaven's Path · 第2210章 凤寒秋
She had always said that their teacher was low-key, and the Linglong Immortal believed it—after all, nurturing so many heaven-defying geniuses without any prior news must mean they were low-key.
But now she said... their teacher was Zhang Xuan.
That goof... low-key?
Low-key my ass!
An ordinary god?
Ordinary my foot!
In the Nether Soul Heaven, he concocted Beauty Pill and Barrier-Breaking Pill—everyone in the divine realm knew that. That was one thing, but in Linglong Heaven, within just a few hours, he killed a titled divine king, swallowed one of my thoughts, took that one as a beast pet, found another heaven-defying expert as a girlfriend, and made a treasure like the Still Void Pearl willingly follow him...
And this is called low-key? Ordinary?
In the divine realm, there is no upper-grade celestial god more high-profile or less ordinary than him!
The most critical thing is...
I had originally thought that after knowing his name, I would find him and win him over. Now that things have turned so sour... what winning over?
"Having that one as a beast pet and another as a girlfriend, he's definitely hard to win over. If all else fails... I'll first give him a title to play with? But it's best not to leak this news... otherwise, if others find out, it won't be good..."
Full of frustration, she kept pondering.
...
Leaving Linglong Imperial City and seeing that the sovereign did not make another move, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Little Yellow Chicken acted, or else he didn't know how things would have ended.
"You... how did you get here? And how did you come to know the Linglong Immortal?"
As long as it wasn't the sovereign, with the momentum from earlier, presumably no one would dare to cause trouble. Zhang Xuan no longer worried and, while flying toward the teleportation array, looked at the girl behind him with confusion.
"I left the Master Teacher Continent..."
Luo Qiqi recounted her experience.
Transforming into the Still Void Pearl, she tore through space, entered the spatial turbulence, was discovered by the Linglong Immortal, and brought to the divine realm.
The Still Void Pearl itself was a treasure that had fallen from the divine realm. After returning, its strength grew increasingly powerful. In just over a month, it reached the peak of divine king, and even ordinary titled divine kings might not be able to contend with it.
Unexpected that the girl's experience was so tumultuous, Zhang Xuan sighed and explained the entrustments of Luo Xuanqing and others.
"I have let my family down..." Luo Qiqi's eyes reddened.
The flow of time in the divine realm was a thousand times that of the Master Teacher Continent. One month here meant over a thousand months below, over eighty years.
Many relatives were probably already old.
Moreover, once here, she couldn't go back, and meeting others again would be impossible, separated by life and death.
After comforting her a bit, Zhang Xuan changed the subject: "You followed the Linglong Immortal. Have you ever seen my two disciples, Wang Ying and Wei Ruyan?"
"I haven't seen them, only heard that they are cultivating in the sovereign's Time Mirror. Their current cultivation is not inferior to mine!"
Luo Qiqi said.
Hearing that the other party had not made things difficult for his students, Zhang Xuan finally relaxed.
After asking a few more questions, the teleportation array appeared before them.
"Do you have a token for the teleportation array?" Zhang Xuan asked.
Without a token, they couldn't use this array. Flying alone from here to Lingyuan Imperial City would take who knows how long.
"I don't need one..." Luo Qiqi smiled lightly.
The purpose of the teleportation array token was to protect cultivators from injury. As the Still Void Pearl, she controlled spatial power, so the array's power fluctuations couldn't harm her.
In fact, with full effort, she could even tear through space and teleport herself.
As she said, after the teleportation array activated, a wave of power surged, and the two vanished from their spot, reappearing in Lingyuan Heaven the next moment.
Turning to look, Luo Qiqi was indeed unharmed.
Entering Lingyuan Imperial City and returning to the Fire Phoenix Clan, they saw Feng Jiuge approaching with a look of embarrassment: "Teacher..."
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Right after you left, the competition was moved up. I sent you a message, but you didn't reply..."
Feng Jiuge said hurriedly.
The selection of candidates from the three great clans for the Spirit God Palace was originally scheduled to be adjusted for a day. But it was said that something changed in the Spirit God Palace, as if it sensed something and kept shining brightly. Helplessly, the three titled divine kings advanced the assessment.
In other words...
During the time he was away, the candidate to enter the Spirit God Palace had already been determined!
"What place did you get?"
Hearing that the competition was over, Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had rushed as fast as he could, but still arrived late...
However, there was no helping it. The transmission token he currently used could only send messages within the same day. Once he left, he couldn't receive any.
He had gone all the way to Linglong Heaven, so it was normal that he couldn't be reached.
But... as long as his disciple got first place, he could impersonate him and sneak in. That was not impossible.
"I..." Feng Jiuge's face reddened, and he knelt down: "Your disciple has failed your trust. I only got second place..."
The teacher had spent effort explaining combat techniques to him, and even the Nine Phoenix Formation could be broken, but facing that one, he was still powerless and ultimately lost regretfully.
"Second?" Zhang Xuan frowned and looked over with confusion: "Who got first?"
He had fought against the geniuses of the Fire Phoenix Clan. Although Feng Jiuge had come from behind, after his guidance, he had far surpassed the others. Under normal circumstances, except for himself, no one below divine king should be able to defeat him.
How did he only get second?
Could it be that the other two clans had even stronger experts?
"It was me!"
Before Feng Jiuge could answer, a faint voice sounded, and then several youths strode into the courtyard.
The leader, about thirty years old, had eyes as cold as ice.
"Teacher, he is the one who got first place, a strong expert from the Ice Phoenix Clan, Feng Hanqiu!" Seeing that the teacher didn't recognize him, Feng Jiuge quickly transmitted his voice.
"Feng Hanqiu?" Zhang Xuan was startled, then frowned: "A divine king?"
The youth before him had his aura restrained but not released, giving a sense of madness, like a huge snow mountain piled up that, once unleashed, would immediately collapse and release terrifying power.
Without looking, one could tell that this person's strength had already reached the divine king level...
Wasn't it said that the competition was for those below divine king, and there were no such levels?
Having reached divine king, what was there to comprehend?
"He broke through on the spot during our match..." Feng Jiuge's face reddened.
This person's strength was originally similar to his, even suppressed by him. But who would have thought that under pressure, he would smoothly break through and become a divine king. That was why he was no match and was defeated on the spot.
Zhang Xuan understood.
Although Feng Jiuge had received his true teachings, he had been training for too short a time. It was not surprising that he couldn't withstand a true divine king.
"I heard that you are the number one among the younger generation of the Fire Phoenix Clan. Dare you fight me?"
Without further ado, Feng Hanqiu's eyes flashed as he looked over.
