Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

"I have other matters to attend to, please leave..."

Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, Shen Wuyue waved her hand, collecting the tea table into her storage rings, gracefully rose with her lithe form.

She really couldn't stay any longer.

"Senior, no rush, I have some questions to ask. I feel my cultivation speed is too slow, surely I've made a mistake somewhere..."

Zhang Xuan quickly stood up, his attitude sincere.

This was the Heaven's Path Divine Art; if he hadn't succeeded in cultivating within a quarter of an hour, it was already considered slow.

"You are cultivating very well..."

Suppressing her inner frustration and vexation, Shen Wuyue shook her head and waved her hand.

"Senior, there's no need for modesty. With your qualifications, my cultivation speed must be insignificant and unworthy in your eyes..."

Zhang Xuan continued speaking.

"Are you leaving or not?"

Seeing him eager to continue, Shen Wuyue gritted her teeth.

Zhang Xuan: "I'll leave once I'm done asking. I think there were some oddities within the Life Lamp just now..."

"Fine, forget the boat, I'm leaving!"

Seeing him ramble endlessly without finish, Shen Wuyue felt that her state of mind would shatter if she kept listening, so she couldn't stand it any longer, and her figure vanished from sight.

This black canopy boat, which she spent a great deal to forge, was indeed exceptionally precious, but compared to survival, the latter was clearly more important.

"Gone just like that..."

Seeing her vanish without a trace, Zhang Xuan shook his head with a hint of helplessness.

Shen Wuyue was quite good; high cultivation, beautiful, yet her personality was so unlikeable. No wonder Wu Potian avoided her. Even he found her hard to get along with.

He finally made a breakthrough and hoped to discuss for greater progress with her, but she fled without a moment's pause... Such rudeness!

No wonder she's single.

Although her actions were discourteous, the boat left behind was quite something. Though incomparable to the Xuanyuan War Chariot, it was similar in level to the Golden Armor War Chariot and Golden Armor Battle Puppet.

More crucially, the boat could silently navigate various formations without detection, an excellent tool for covert missions.

"Forge, blend!"

Understanding it as a goodwill gesture, Zhang Xuan didn't hesitate, flew into the air, collected the black canopy boat into the Suspended Realm, and fused it with the Xuanyuan War Chariot in the next moment.

Strength surged, and with the experience from previous fusions, the two celestial treasures were fully integrated without much delay.

Now, the space within the Xuanyuan War Chariot had transformed almost like a temple, covering several hundred square meters. Not just suitable for flying, it could also serve as a place for living and resting, a mobile fortress indeed.

"The level has actually increased..."

As his weapon, he naturally felt the change in power keenly. The Xuanyuan War Chariot, now fused with the black canopy boat, also possessed the ability to enter and exit formations undetected.

Previously, though the Xuanyuan War Chariot's level was high, flying into Lingjiu Mountain would inevitably be noticed by the Buddha. But now, as long as he didn't get too close, detection should be difficult.

Now it made sense why his Suspended Realm Power hadn't detected Shen Wuyue earlier. Her formidable strength was one reason, but the bigger reason was the black canopy boat.

Knowing his soul had greatly improved, leaving hastily might cause a loss of control over his strength, inviting unwanted attention, so Zhang Xuan wasn't in a rush. He returned to the small island for further practice.

After ten days, he stood up again.

This time, rather than lighting more Life Lamps, he achieved perfect fusion of the previous six with the Immortal Golden Body, and the Heavenly Destiny Power reached the pinnacle of Life Sea 6-dan, lacking only a breakthrough opportunity.

Despite little advancement in his corporeal and spiritual aspects, the fusion considerably enhanced his strength. Now, he was comparable to the pinnacle level of a Bodhisattva, though still slightly less than the Buddha, but not by much.

With Xuanyuan War Chariot, even if unable to fight, escaping wouldn't be an issue.

"Let's return to Tianli City!"

Seeing that this practice session lasted for over forty days, it was time to head back. Zhang Xuan grasped with his hand, summoning the Xuanyuan War Chariot. In the next moment, it tore through space and appeared in his small courtyard in Tianli City.

It was extraordinarily quiet around, with not a soul in sight. Two months prior, after the Eastern Palace had the place sealed, it seemed no one came by, and dust covered the tables on the ground.

He appeared here because of a space mark he left, knowing that lingering too long could lead to detection. Zhang Xuan controlled the Xuanyuan War Chariot to shimmer again, leaving the courtyard and arriving on the nearby street.

The Xuanyuan War Chariot, as a Heavenly Destiny Magical Treasure, could be as grand as a mountain or, naturally, shrink to the size of a mustard seed, unnoticed in a crowd.

"One needs a citizen identity in Tianli City; I definitely can't use my previous identities..."

Transforming the war chariot into a speck of dust floating above the streets, Zhang Xuan pondered silently.

In Tianli City, whether buying goods or eating and drinking required a citizen identity, and he couldn't dare use either Zhang Xuanqing or Zhang Xuan's identity.

Not because he feared the so-called Crown Prince, but because he currently didn't want to alert anyone.

Though his cultivation had undergone a qualitative transformation, against strong figures like Emperor Fusheng, he remained powerless.

"It would be great if I could find a new identity..."

Zhang Xuan was in thought when a figure entered his sight: "Is it him?"

His eyes lit up immediately.

It was an old acquaintance, Hu Sheng, the young man he met while purchasing Qi Fortune earlier!

He was wandering the street alone, with a troubled expression, seemingly pondering something, with no one else around.

"Collect!"

Knowing this fellow might not have outstanding cultivation, but rather good luck, Zhang Xuan made a light grab, and Hu Sheng's silhouette flickered, vanishing from the street, appearing within the Xuanyuan War Chariot in the next instant.

"Who is it..."

Captured in an unfamiliar setting, Hu Sheng was startled, quickly waving his hand.

"Brother Hu, it's me!"

Zhang Xuan smiled as he looked over.

"Brother Zhang? How dare you come back?"

His eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

He'd heard about Zhang Xuan causing a huge stir in Law Heavenly Capital. Fighting alone, killing two Royal Secretaries, a Bodhisattva, and a Demon Monarch, heavily damaging the Crown Prince's reputation... a feat enough to be recorded in history.

Someone like this, who had scarcely escaped Tianli City, dared to show up again, and wander the streets... Wasn't his audacity too great?

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Zhang Xuan chuckled: "Alright, I brought you here because I need your help with something—get me a citizen identity!"

Despite his modest cultivation, this fellow was reliable. The Crown Prince was trapped and made a scapegoat for the Bodhi Fruit Tree theft due to his crafty planning last time.

Thanks to that cooperation, Zhang Xuan had a favorable impression, otherwise, for a citizen identity, he could have sought the Wanxiang Sect, avoiding any need to expose his identity to others.
