Library of Heaven’s Path

Chapter 2206 An Edict from the Sky of Freedom

“Since you have managed to block a blow from me, I’ll consider this matter settled.”

As a God Monarch, Fairy Linglong could not afford to renege on her promise. No matter what kind of means the young man had used, it was a fact that he had managed to withstand her attack.

So, the massive face harrumphed. “You can leave now!”

“Thank you!” Zhang Xuan clasped his fist as he heaved a sigh of relief.

While Little Chick was able to devour that massive face in the sky, they were still in a disadvantageous position given that they were in the Sky of Linglong. If Fairy Linglong decided to make a move personally, they would not stand a chance at all.

So, this was already the best outcome for him.

Zhang Xuan turned around to talk to Fu Jiangchen. “Apothecary Fu, I am thankful that you helped me forge my pill. I helped you raise your cultivation, and I gave you some insights into pill forging during the process earlier. That should be enough to compensate you for your assistance.”

To be frank, he was still a little angry at how Fu Jiangchen had backstabbed him at a crucial moment earlier to help Baiye Qinghong. He understood that Fu Jiangchen was indeed in a difficult position considering the circumstances, but he could not simply treat it as if nothing had happened at all.

So, it was inevitable that their relationship would have to drift apart.

“I am grateful for your guidance, Apothecary Zhang.” Fu Jiangchen bowed deeply.

He had still treated Zhang Xuan as his junior earlier, but after witnessing how the latter was able to kill a Conferred God King easily and devour the will of a God Monarch, there was no way he would dare act in such a manner anymore.

Furthermore, he also felt deeply guilty about his earlier actions.

“Qiqi …”

After addressing Fu Jiangchen, Zhang Xuan turned to the young lady behind him and called out to her with an awkward look on his face.

He was not sure how he should face her. She had done so much for him thus far, but he could not give her what she wanted the most.

Just as he was at a loss as to what to say, the young lady looked at him with clear eyes and asked, “Zhang shi, I… Would it be fine for me to continue following and learn pill forging from you?”Read more chapters at L isnovel

Hearing those words, a slight chuckle escaped from Zhang Xuan’s lips as he nodded. “Of course.”

As if the arrival of spring, a beautiful smile blossomed on Luo Qiqi’s lips. “That’s great.”

She then turned to the massive face in the sky and kneeled down before saying, “Your Sovereignty, I am extremely grateful to you for saving me from the spatial turbulence and bestowing me with plenty of resources, allowing me to raise my cultivation swiftly. It_s due to your help tihat I was able to grow so quickly. I’ll neve^ you have done for me!”

Those words made the massive face in the sky frown.

Your Sovereignty, I once told you that once I received news on him, no matter what kind of danger lies ahead, I’d seek him and stay by his side. Now that he is right before me, I wish to leave together with him. I hope that you’ll grant me your blessing,” Luo Qiqi said as she kowtowed solemnly several times.

The massive face was silent for a moment before sighing deeply. “I already knew about it when I heard about the Breakthrough Pill and Beauty Pill. I didn’t tell you because I feared that you would leave right away, but it seems like what that will happen will eventually happen.”

Given the ruckus that Zhang Xuan had caused in the Sky of Drifting Specter, how could Fairy Linglong, as a God Monarch, possibly remain oblivious to it?

She had just worried that Luo Qiqi would leave right away after hearing the news, so she had chosen to intentionally keep the matter from her. Yet, shortly after that, the young man had gone there on his own and caused an even larger commotion than before.

Seriously, this young man sure was a troublemaker!

It was a mystery why someone as nice as Qiqi would fancy such a man…

“Forget it, go on and pursue your own happiness,” the massive face said. “I don’t believe that the person he likes can be even more outstanding than you!”

Fairy Linglong knew that the young lady whom she had saved from the spatial turbulence was the manifestation of the Dimension Silencer. Even in the Firmament, the Dimension Silencer could still be considered a top-tier treasure. That was also precisely why the young lady had been able to become a God King within such a short period of time.

With such talent, there was probably no one in the Firmament who could compete with her.

Fairy Linglong did not know whom Zhang Xuan liked, but she did not believe that it was possible for any man to resist the pursuit of a lady as fine as Luo Qiqi for too long.

Thank you, Your Sovereignty!” Luo Qiqi replied in delight before turning back to face Zhang Xuan.

After she heard of his departure from the Master Teacher Continent, she had immediately torn apart the dimension barrier to pursue him. However, she did not expect to make her way all the way up to the Firmament in one shot.

She had thought that it would take a very long time before they would be reunited, so this sudden meeting had come as a huge surprise to her too.

Zhang Xuan nodded at Qiqi before turning to the massive face in the sky to say, “Qiqi has been under Your Sovereignty’s care all this while, so it’s only right for me, as her teacher, to thank you and repay the favor.”

“Repay the favor? How do you intend to repay my favor? By killing my Conferred God King and devouring my will?” The massive face harrumphed.

As soon as Fairy Linglong heard those three words, ‘repay the favor’, from Zhang Xuan’s mouth, she felt a surge of anger rising from her chest.

You killed my Conferred God King shortly after arriving in my territory, and you even had your tamed beast devour my will”

While it was true that there was not much damage to her, it still caused her reputation to be sullied.

“Of course not.” Zhang Xuan chuckled awkwardly. “If I’m not mistaken, Your Sovereignty, you haven’t been able to sleep well, right?”

He had realized that he could not use the Library of Heaven’s Path to peer into the flaws of the God Monarch, but nevertheless, he was still able to discern some things from Fairy Linglong’s will.

Fairy Linglong was an extremely powerful God Monarch, wielding powers that placed her at the forefront of her peers. However, she suffered from a major issue, and that was a lack of sleep!

Typically speaking, those who had reached her level of cultivation did not need to sleep. Even if she did not rest for ten thousand years, her physical condition would not be fazed in the least.

That being said, most experts still slept as a form of relaxation for their body and mind.

As a person who had reached the peak of the world, there was no need for Fairy Linglong to cultivate desperately. Left without much of an aim in life, it became even more important for her to rest well to avoid getting too restless.

Those words made the massive face in the sky frown.

The young man’s words were spot on. She was indeed suffering from insomnia, and no matter what she did, she was unable to fall asleep… but how did the other party know about this?

Not even Luo Qiqi was aware of this matter!

Your Sovereignty, please rest assured. I am an apothecary. While I don’t have a solution for your affliction at the moment, I’m confident that I will be able to think of something in time. I hope that I can repay the grace you have showered upon Qiqi with this.” Zhang Xuan clasped his fist.

His cultivation was still too weak, so it would be hard for him to deal with a problem that even Fairy Linglong herself was unable to solve. Nevertheless, as he raised his cultivation, he should be able to figure out a way to solve her affliction.

Til be waiting then…”

The massive face left behind those words before dissipating from the sky.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan turned to Luo Qiqi and said, “Let’s go.”

Luo Qiqi turned to him and smiled before nodding quietly.

With that, the two of them began making their way outside the city.

In Linglong Royal City, within a massive palace floating in the middle of a sky, a lady gazed upon the departing figure of Zhang Xuan and Luo Qiqi with her hands behind her back.

If Zhang Xuan saw the face of this lady, he would be surprised to find that it was identical to that of the massive face that had appeared earlier.

She was Fairy Linglong of the Sky of Linglong!

“I wonder just what is so great about love that it drives people frenzied in pursuit of it…” Fairy Linglong muttered to herself.

“Qiqi, I can only hope that you won’t regret the decision you have made today. However, I doubt that that man is completely devoid of feelings for someone as outstanding as you. It’s pretty obvious who he should choose between you and that woman. Humph, if I find out who that woman is, I’ll surely teach her a lesson…”

Before Fairy Linglong could finish her words, the space around her suddenly began trembling as a golden board materialized out of thin air.

Seeing this, Fairy Linglong hurriedly lowered her posture, not daring to even breathe lowly.

“Fairy Linglong of the Sky of Linglong, receive the edict!” the golden board declared grandly. “You are to head to the Sky of Freedom right now!”

“God Monarch Lingxi wishes to meet with me?” Fairy Linglong was taken aback.

However, she dared not go against the order, so she quickly replied, “I have received the edict!”

With a slight waver of her body, Fairy Linglong vanished from the spot.
