Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

Witnessing the confrontation and disputes between both parties, Zhang Xuan discreetly transmitted his voice: “For the time being, do not utilize the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony…”

Empyrean Kong shi nodded.

Despite his cultivation having reached Galaxy 8-dan, he was still far from being a match for the Five Forms Venerable Sage and Prince Yuanqing. Let alone fighting, it was likely that upon encounter, he would be thoroughly suppressed, with life and death not under his own control.

“You should be careful too, right now Blue Cloud Venerable thinks you’ve inherited the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, I’m afraid they will come looking for trouble…” After a moment of silence, Empyrean Kong shi said.

Upon arrival, Zhang Xuan had quietly recounted the detailed struggle with Blue Cloud Venerable. He knew that this person had taken the blame on his behalf.

“Okay!” Zhang Xuan responded.

Both of their current situations were extremely dangerous, just like animals enclosed by a pack of encircling wolves in a zoo; they could only take one step at a time, and if it came to it, they could always escape to the New World.

“You may leave now!”

While they were quietly discussing, Prince Yuanqing waved his hand dismissively.

The room once again fell quiet, and Prince Yuanqing said: “Now that the matter has been settled, Elder Jiang Li, proceed to forge the last grade-1 pill as soon as possible!”

Elder Jiang Li nodded: “The Yellow River Guiding Flower grows in the Nine Palaces Netherworld Sea. If we head there now, we should be able to commence the alchemy by evening!”

“Let’s go!”

Prince Yuanqing couldn’t be bothered to say more, his palm flicked, and the previously seen Mountain and River Seal reappeared in the air. With a gentle stroke of his hand, it immediately expanded from the size of a baby’s palm to that of a banana leaf; from a distance, it looked like a map with water plants spreading, and mountains and rivers encircling it.

Finding the location of the Nine Palaces Netherworld Sea, the prince pointed at it, and in an instant, the Mountain and River Seal shone brilliantly, with rings of light appearing within the room.

“As expected of the Mountain River Order… commanding mountains and rivers, holding sway over the world!”

Elder Jiang Li exclaimed in admiration, reached out into the air, and Zhang Xuan, Empyrean Kong shi, Yao Yun, and others all floated up, landing atop the rings of light.

The next moment, Zhang Xuan felt strong spatial prowess swirling around his body, completely enveloping him.

Whoosh!

His vision blurred, and ancient runes flowed past him like water streams. When he regained his posture, he was already far from the Medicine Sect hall, appearing on an isolated island instead.

The island was not large, with a diameter of only two to three hundred meters, surrounded by towering white waves, and vast expanses of azure sea stretching out endlessly, with no end in sight.

“Is this… the sea?”

Zhang Xuan was astonished.

Just by opening a map and selecting a point, they had arrived here with a simple leap – the so-called Mountain River Order was truly miraculous!

“This is the Nine Palaces Netherworld Sea, the Tianli Empire’s largest sea area!”

Elder Jiang Li and the others also stepped out from the rings of light.

Seeing the confirmation from the others and that it wasn’t a false illusion, Zhang Xuan looked again at the prince nearby, his expression growing even more solemn.

He knew the other party was strong, but had not anticipated this level of strength.

To transcend space at will, he must possess the pinnacle of strength in the Source World, a capability that, once integrated into combat, would probably make him unstoppable amongst his peers.

In the face of such a person, no amount of caution was too much. With a thought, Zhang Xuan quietly left behind a spatial imprint of the New World, concealed deep within the island.

Better to hold some cards up his sleeve for later.

Seeing everyone had detached from the light rings, Prince Yuanqing reached out and the Mountain River Order flew out from within the light, lightly landing in the palm of his hand.

At this moment, Elder Jiang Li took out something akin to a geomantic compass from his bosom and tossed it into the air. After oscillating for a moment, it pointed out a direction.

“The two of you cannot fly; this is a ‘Light Singing Feather Robe’ made from the feathers of Light Singing Birds. Once an ordinary person dons it, they can gallop across the world, soaring through the universe!”

Prince Yuanqing flicked his finger and two feathers darted out, hovering in front of him.

The feathers glowed with a glassy hue, crystalline and translucent, looking as if they were carved from exquisite jade.

Zhang Xuan took them and like droplets of water, the feathers immediately melted and flowed over his body, forming a pair of pure white wings on his back.

In an instant, he felt as though the wings had always been a part of him, seamlessly controlled with a mere thought, without the slightest discomfort.

With a gentle flicker, his left wing conjured a breeze, and his right wing carried thunder, and in the blink of an eye, he was hovering in the air.

“As expected of the crown prince, to casually gift such precious feather robes… You two haven’t even thanked His Highness yet!” Elder Jiang Li smiled faintly.

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong bowed with fists clasped together.

Although they did not know the exact value of these two celestial treasures, it was clear just from using them that they were exceedingly valuable.

At least they were incomparable to the hundred or so of the Cold Nether Sword’s level he had, and on him, perhaps only the Reincarnation Relic Tower might be superior.

“Let’s go!” Prince Yuanqing said no more and took the lead, flying speedily in the direction indicated by the geomantic compass, with everyone following closely behind.

With the Light Singing Feather Robes, everyone flew quickly, and Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong were still able to keep up with ease, unaffected by the fierce winds.

After flying for a quarter of an hour, Elder Jiang Li came to a halt and exchanged a glance with Prince Yuanqing, nodding subtly.

Understanding the cue, Prince Yuanqing once again summoned the Mountain River Order. In an instant, a surge of tremendous strength crazily flowed into the seawater, causing the sea surface to instantly boil over, as if suppressed by an invisible giant hand.

Whoosh!

The seawater parted ways around them, and numerous marine creatures burst open under the pressure, their remnants following the water current in all directions. Within just seven or eight breaths, the once even sea surface had developed a deep pit several kilometers down to the sea bottom.

And the surrounding seawater, like towering cliffs, stood erect on all sides under the force of an invisible power, continuously tumbling yet unable to fall.

Zhang Xuan’s expression turned solemn once again.

This was no longer mere strength but control over the rules.

Crack! Crack!

While in shock, there came a thunderous roar, and looking down, one could see countless powerful creatures within the upright waters ramming relentlessly, seemingly striving to restore the sea to its original state. The pressured surface appeared to be barely able to withstand the force and looked as though it would collapse at any moment.

Emperor Yuanqing wore a tranquil expression, waving his hand gently as a clear and unhurried voice slowly rose.

“As the crown prince, I command that the sea shall not fall!”

Hum!

The voice spread out far and wide, and in a flash, the creatures that were crashing into the sea immediately turned around, lifting the collapsing water as though they were holding it up.

“Is this… Saying Follows Law?”

Zhang Xuan’s eyes widened.

Such a phenomenon could only arise from Saying Follows Law and Empyrean Kong’s Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony.

“It’s authority!”

Prince Yuanqing stated indifferently: “Whatever it is, as long as it has consciousness, it has Life, and it will certainly understand the command. If I order them to live, they will live; if I order them to die, they will die! This is the heavenly decree I cultivate, and it is also the founding principle of the Tianli Empire.”
