2217 The Truth of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe

Having seen through Zhang Xuan’s intention, the black phoenix in the sky advised, “Master, you’ll require the strength of a G.o.d Monarch at least if you wish to head over to stop them. Without that much, you won’t be able to do anything.”

“You’re right. I need to grow stronger in order to have a greater say in matters. Otherwise, I might not even be able to meet them at all,” Zhang Xuan said grimly.

There had to be a compelling reason behind why Kong s.h.i.+ and Luo Ruoxin had made such a decision, so it was unlikely that his words would somehow be able to magically convince them out of it.

If he wanted to make a difference, he needed to have the strength to make it happen.

But alas, his rate of cultivation was still too slow!

He had been in the Firmament for a month now, but his soul cultivation had only reached G.o.d King realm pinnacle thus far.

If he could become a G.o.d Monarch on par with Kong s.h.i.+ within the next five days, would he be able to stop the battle?

But Zhang Xuan knew that this was impossible.

He had not even comprehended a G.o.d King realm cultivation technique yet, so it was clearly impossible for him to make so many breakthroughs within such a short period of time.

Zhang Xuan felt a deep sense of helplessness weighing down on him.

“Master, it’s indeed nigh impossible for your cultivation to reach the level of a G.o.d Monarch within the next few days… However, you still have Little Deathless here with you,” the black phoenix said shyly.

Zhang Xuan’s eyes immediately lit up as a spark of hope appeared right before his eyes.

Indeed, it was practically impossible for him to become a G.o.d Monarch within the next five days, but he could help Little Chick recover its strength as the Deathless Monarch.

Even if its strength was beneath that of Kong s.h.i.+ and Luo Ruoxin, at the very least, it felt like he would be able to do something with a G.o.d Monarch on his side.

“Forty years ago, when I was defeated at my peak, Spirit Origin Royal City ended up collapsing inward, resulting in the deep abyss that we see beneath the floating city today. If we can find the collapsed city and retrieve my powers from it, it shouldn’t be too difficult for me to recover my memories and return to my peak!” the Deathless Monarch said.

Zhang Xuan trembled upon hearing those words.

It just so happened that he knew where that collapsed city was—the Azure’s City of Collapsed s.p.a.ce!

As long as they could find a way to get there, they would be able to retrieve Little Chick’s powers and allow it to return back to its peak!

But there was a problem.

There was a dimension barrier between the Azure and the Firmament, so how could they descend to the Azure?

“You are a G.o.d Monarch, so you should at least know a thing or two about how G.o.d Monarch Lingxi was able to descend to the lower worlds, right?” Zhang Xuan asked the black phoenix.

“I don’t really know the details. My will is quite weak at the moment, so I spend most of my time sleeping. However, not too long ago, G.o.d Monarch Lingxi paid me a visit and borrowed my Seal of Supreme Monarch, which is an insignia representing my ident.i.ty as the Spirit G.o.d,” the black phoenix replied.

“Seal of Supreme Monarch?” Zhang Xuan frowned.

As it would turn out, it seemed to be something similar to how the ‘royal seal’ worked in his previous world. Whenever the G.o.d Monarch pa.s.sed down their edict, they would use their Seal of Supreme Monarch as their insignia.

In other words, it was a token that represented their unparalleled authority.

“The person who holds my Seal of Supreme Monarch will be able to represent me, the Spirit G.o.d, and the Sky of Spirit Origin,” the black phoenix said.

“This…” Zhang Xuan’s eyes widened in realization. “Could it be that Ruoxin borrowed your Seal of Supreme Monarch in order to relay an edict to the people of Spirit Origin Royal City who are currently living in the Azure and the Master Teacher Continent? That’s how she was able to have them conduct a ritual to open up the dimension barriers for her descent…”

He recalled a past conversation with Du Qingyuan, and the latter had mentioned that they had not heard anything from the Spirit G.o.d for the past several thousand years. It was only some time ago that the Spirit G.o.d suddenly contacted her and instructed her to hold a ritual to allow her to descend to the lower worlds.

It did not sound like a big deal when he first heard about it, but that was only because he did not know just how resilient the dimension barrier of the Firmament was. One must know that even G.o.d Monarchs were not able to breach the dimension barrier!

This was probably the only loophole that one could exploit in order to get to the lower worlds.

That would also explain why Luo Ruoxin was known as the Spirit G.o.d on the Master Teacher Continent and the Azure!

At the same time, this verified his conjecture about the Otherworldly Demons being the people of Spirit Origin Royal City that had fallen from the Firmament. It was likely that their bodies were tainted by the impure spiritual energy of the lower worlds, causing their cultivation to regress and their nature to become warped.

Going through the chain of events once more, forty years ago, disaster struck Spirit Origin Royal City, causing it to fall to the Azure and become known as the City of Collapsed s.p.a.ce. A portion of the Semi-Divinities that had fallen along with the city survived and founded Starchaser Palace. Meanwhile, a number of the survivors fell into the cracks of s.p.a.ce and ended up on the Master Teacher Continent as Otherworldly Demons.

This was why Starchaser Palace and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe shared similar altars, and they possessed the exceptional ability to communicate across worlds.

That would also explain why Little Chick, despite being the resurrected form of a G.o.d Monarch, had ended up in the Master Teacher Continent.

Most likely, Kong s.h.i.+ had found it in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and sealed it in the vicinity of the Sanctum of Sages. In the end, Luo Qiqi had ended up finding it through a map and told Luo Xuanqing about it.

Forty years ago on the Firmament, four thousand years ago on the Firmament, and forty thousand years ago on the Master Teacher Continent… The timeline fit!

Most likely, the key to breaking the dimension barrier was the Spirit G.o.d’s Seal of Supreme Monarch!

With such a thought in mind, Zhang Xuan turned to the black phoenix and asked, “Where is your Seal of Supreme Monarch? Did Ruoxin… no, I mean, did G.o.d Monarch Lingxi return it after using it?”

“It’s with me now. She returned it shortly after using it.”

The black phoenix opened his beak wide, and a token roughly the size of a round plate flew out of his mouth.

As the round plate revolved quietly in the air, Zhang Xuan felt as if all the energy within the Sky of Spirit Origin was swaying along with its movements.

If the Conferred G.o.d Kings governed over the territories within the Sky of Spirit Origin, this seal effectively granted one authority over the entire Sky. This included not just the land but the sky as well.

“Can you lend it to me?” Zhang Xuan asked.

“Of course! Everything that Little Deathless has is yours, master!” the black phoenix replied with a fawning smile.

With a flap of his grand wings, the seal immediately flew into Zhang Xuan’s palm.

Taking a closer look at the seal, Zhang Xuan’s body trembled in agitation.

He could see countless inscriptions carved on top of the round seal. These inscriptions were a miniature version of what he had seen on the altars of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe!

Previously, he could not really understand what these inscriptions meant, but after spending some time in the Firmament, he had become rather familiar with the geography of the Nine Skies. As such, he was able to tell that these inscriptions were actually the landscape and constellation map of the Sky of Spirit Origin!

The seal was created based on a fusion of those two.

All this while, the rituals of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe were not directed at any specific individual but the Sky of Spirit Origin itself!

Had he not seen the map of the Sky of Spirit Origin before, he would not have been able to figure out all of this.

“Let me give it a try and see if I can use it to communicate with the Azure!”

Taking in a deep breath, Zhang Xuan drove his energy toward the Seal of Supreme Monarch.

Weng!

A brilliant light escaped from the seal, a sign that it had been activated.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan began speaking in an obscure language. It was the same language that Du Qingyuan used for her rituals.

He had learned it back in his time on the Master Teacher Continent and the Azure.

“That’s the G.o.d Monarch’s Deathless Celestial Phoenix Language,” the Fire Feather Conferred G.o.d King said grimly.

Other people might not be able to comprehend this language, but as a Conferred G.o.d King, one of the strongest existences of the Sky of Spirit Origin, he could tell what it was.

It was the Deathless Celestial Phoenix Language of their G.o.d Monarch, and its reputation in the Firmament was equivalent to that of the Eight Notes of Heavenly Dragon!
