Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

Chapter 95: Sun Qiang Arrives

Floating in mid-air within the New World, Zhang Xuan's mind enveloped the entire world. In the next moment, he teleported into a grand hall.

In the center of the hall stood a statue of a young woman in her twenties. She wore a red silk dress that accentuated her slender waist and tall figure, her eyebrows exuding an aura of heroism. It was his first disciple, Zhao Ya!

Five years ago, Zhang Xuan and his father-in-law, Nie Yun, had created this world together. After its completion, they brought Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and the others here, allowing them to better comprehend the rules. Finally, a year ago, they gained the recognition of Heaven and Earth, also reaching the Emperor's Realm.

Even Sun Qiang, who wasn't particularly talented, had achieved the same cultivation level through Zhang Xuan's repeated infusions of power.

In the New World, being an Emperor was no different in strength from being an Emperor in the Firmament. In other words, Sun Qiang was now on par with top experts like Fairy Linglong and Deathless Monarch.

"No need to search for me. I'm here. Everyone, come over."

Zhang Xuan spoke calmly, his hands clasped behind his back.

The statue in the hall, which received the incense and offerings of countless people, retained a trace of Zhao Ya's consciousness. Speaking here, he could communicate with her instantly, even if she were in the Firmament created by Nie Yun.

Nie Lingxi, Luo Qiqi, Undying Emperor, Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and others were gathered, their expressions solemn, the atmosphere in the room heavy.

"Could they have really ventured into that so-called Source World?" Nie Lingxi whispered, her eyes filled with worry.

Zhang Xuan's sudden disappearance had left them all anxious. They had searched everywhere, turning every possible place upside down, but found no trace of him.

"That place is full of dangers. I fear for his safety if he's gone there…" Yuan Tao muttered, shrinking his neck.

"Does Teacher's wife know the way? If not, we should go as well," Zheng Yang stood up, determination in his eyes.

"Yes, it's better if we all go together," Liu Yang agreed.

Wherever Teacher was, they would go too—it had become second nature to them.

"I've only heard of it. I don't know how to enter or where to start," Nie Lingxi shook her head. "Let's not rush. If he's alright, he'll surely send a message. Since we can't find him, it's better to wait here."

"Teacher's wife is right. We should wait." Zhao Ya added soothingly.

However, before she could finish, she suddenly felt something and stood up abruptly, her eyes shining with excitement.

"What's wrong?" Everyone turned to look at her.

"Teacher is in the New World. He just contacted me," Zhao Ya explained.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Nie Lingxi sighed in relief and quickly flew out, with everyone else following closely behind.

They flew higher and higher, and in just a few breaths, they arrived at a massive gateway suspended in the chaos.

This was the space portal that Zhang Xuan and Nie Yun had built together. It allowed for free travel between the New World and the Firmament.

Zhao Ya took out two tokens and placed them in the slots on either side of the gateway. The next moment, with a loud "creak," the gateway slowly opened, and a unique aura filled the air.

Although the New World and the Firmament were connected, they were still two separate worlds with different rules. They couldn't be completely merged, or the clashing rules might lead to the collapse of both worlds.

For this reason, even though Zhang Xuan had reached the realm of a lord of a world, he didn't dare to return to the Firmament lightly.

Of course, "not lightly" didn't mean he couldn't return at all.

"Let's go!"

As the gateway opened, Zhao Ya and the others entered one by one. In the next moment, they all appeared in the hall where Zhao Ya's statue was located and saw the figure they had been longing to see.

"Everyone's here!"

Zhang Xuan smiled as he saw that none of them were missing.

"Zhang Xuan!"

"Teacher!"

Seeing that he was safe, everyone sighed in relief.

"You really went to the Source World. What's it like over there?" Nie Lingxi asked curiously, noticing that Zhang Xuan's aura was even more solid and profound than before. Even she couldn't discern its depth.

"The rules over there are much stricter…" Zhang Xuan detailed everything that had happened over the past few days. Of course, he omitted the part about being beaten by a horse—no need to go into that with his students present.

"This time, I'm here to take Sun Qiang over. I want to see if we can find a way to make some money. Once we have enough capital and Heaven's Fate Energy, I'll bring you all over as well!"

Zhang Xuan explained his intentions.

"Very well. I'll go with you, young master!" Sun Qiang stepped forward.

"Teacher, we want to go too!" Zhao Ya immediately said.

"We want to go as well," Zheng Yang chimed in, gathering around.

"The Heaven's Path in the Source World is extremely sensitive. When I went over, I had to hide all my power within the New World to avoid detection. If you all go together, you'll likely be discovered, and instead of helping, you'll just create more problems for me," Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

In a new environment, having a group of trusted people around was indeed beneficial, but the Source World was different. A single misstep could lead to the destruction of everything. Caution was paramount.

"Understood…"

Although they were reluctant, no one dared to argue and nodded in agreement.

"Young master, I'll go with you!" The Little Chick chuckled. "I'm immortal and can transform into a chicken, so I shouldn't draw too much attention."

"You? Better not…" Zhang Xuan shook his head. The Little Chick might seem harmless, but it was actually quite troublesome. Since their journey from the Master Teacher Continent, it had caused more than a few problems.

"I…" Nie Lingxi started to speak, but Zhang Xuan interrupted her as well. "Lingxi, I have a task for you. I believe that Kong Shi and my father-in-law might be in danger. Keep an eye out for any messages from them. If you receive any, find a way to inform me immediately!"

Nie Lingxi nodded, though a hint of worry lingered in her gentle eyes. "But… how will I contact you?"

Two worlds separated them, and unlike now, where they could communicate through a single thought, it wouldn't be so easy.

Zhang Xuan pointed with his finger, and a sword energy appeared at his fingertip. It flew toward his wife. "This is a sword energy from the 'Pathos of Heaven.' If you need to contact me, infuse your message into this sword energy. No matter how many worlds separate us, I'll receive it instantly."

This was a power that transcended the Heaven's Path, capable of connecting two worlds.

"Alright!" Nie Lingxi nodded, saying no more.

"Let's go!"

After reassuring everyone, Zhang Xuan didn't waste any more time. With a wave of his hand, he and Sun Qiang vanished from the hall and reappeared in the courtyard back in the Source World.

Such a powerful oppressive force…

As soon as Sun Qiang entered the Source World, he felt as though his entire body weighed a thousand pounds. His knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to stand.

He was about to activate his power to resist the pressure when Zhang Xuan's voice rang out.

"Don't circulate your power."

Raising an eyebrow, Zhang Xuan carefully instructed, "Let the Source Energy seal your cultivation. Otherwise, your power will be incompatible with this world, and you'll easily attract attention…"

The rules of the New World and the Source World might be different, but with his cultivation as an Emperor, Sun Qiang could activate his power to resist the pressure. However, this would also make it easier for him to be detected.

When Zhang Xuan first arrived in the Source World, he had to do the same. Otherwise, as a lord of a world, he wouldn't have ended up in such a pitiful state, getting beaten by a horse for days and struggling even to find a meal.

"I'm not sure I can hold on…" Sun Qiang gritted his teeth.

"Hold on a moment."

Understanding that the pressure was due to the difference in space, Zhang Xuan activated his mind, and hundreds of books in the Library of Heaven's Path transformed into pure energy, which flowed into Sun Qiang's body.

Heaven's Fate Energy!

This energy could solidify the Xuan World and the Source Pool, so it could naturally help someone resist external pressure.

As the energy entered his body, Sun Qiang no longer felt the discomfort and stood up straight again.

"Young master, so this is the Source World? It's terrifying…"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Sun Qiang was still shaken.

Thankfully, the young master had prepared in advance. Otherwise, I might have died the moment I arrived here…

"I'll create a space within your body that you can use to cultivate in the Source World. Once Source Energy tempers your physical body, you'll feel much better…"

Knowing his situation, Zhang Xuan explained.

Since Zhang Xuan had struggled to find his own Source Pool, Sun Qiang likely wouldn't be able to either. Therefore, Zhang Xuan would have to create a space for him to cultivate.

It didn't need to be too large—just big enough to hold a few thousand strands of Heaven's Fate Energy would suffice.

After explaining, Zhang Xuan focused his mind, and before long, he created a small space within Sun Qiang's body.

However, even with a space created, without Heaven's Fate Energy to solidify it, Sun Qiang still couldn't cultivate.

The 20,000 strands of Heaven's Fate Energy that Zhang Xuan had recently obtained from Dean Lu and the Liu family head had been completely consumed while reading books. The last of it had been used to stabilize Sun Qiang's condition.

Without Heaven's Fate Energy to solidify the Source Pool, Sun Qiang couldn't absorb Source Energy, making cultivation nearly impossible.

"Where can I find more?"

Rubbing his forehead, Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.

While he was troubled, on the other side of the city, Liu Tianzheng had returned to the Liu residence.

"I'm furious…"

As soon as he entered his room, the Liu family head couldn't help but let out a roar of anger, slamming his hand down on the table. The surrounding servants all shrank back in fear.

"What happened, family head?" The Grand Elder, Liu Tianming, approached.

"Where is Lord Xu?"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Tianzheng turned to look at him.

That's right—he had made up his mind. He was going to report Zhang Xuan in detail.

Daring to deceive his daughter and even making her turn against her father, Zhang Xuan would have to face the consequences!

I'll label you as a "Chaotic Fate Practitioner" and see if you dare to disrespect the Liu family again!
