BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2235 - Conferred God King of the Nine Skies 2
Chapter 2235 Conferred God King of the Nine Skies 2
Forty years ago, a talented genius possessing superior talent had suddenly appeared in the Firmament. Impressed with his talent, the God Monarchs had sought to take him under their wing and confer him as their Conferred God King.
A huge fight had broken out among them as a result of that.
At the end of the fight, they had come to an agreement. In order to avoid escalating the conflict, none of them would confer him.
Everyone had thought that this would be the end for that talented genius.
No one could have imagined that the talented genius would end up receiving the conferment of the world itself.
It had been the same sight back then. The entire Firmament was wrapped within red clouds, and a grand power rose from the world.
The God Monarchs had all been taken aback by the phenomenon the first time they witnessed it as they realized that something greater than them was occurring.
And just as they thought, the talented genius had eventually grown to become the Heaven Subjugation Monarch, wielding the powers to challenge even the great God Monarch Lingxi.
Forty years later, the Heaven Subjugation Monarch fell in a grand showdown with the God Monarch Lingxi, but moments later, yet another person conferred by the world appeared.
Not even the Nine God Monarchs had enjoyed such an honor during their ascension!
The World Conferment was a natural force of the world that was beyond the control of the God Monarchs, and one who had been bestowed with such power would be truly invincible beneath the God Monarchs.
“Is this fate, too?” Little Chick murmured.
He had thought that the Young Master would require several years of accumulation to reach such a level, but he had managed to pull it off in the blink of an eye.
It was insane!
While muttering to himself in shock, Little Chick nearly lost control of his powers and reverted to a little chick.
The Cloud Dragon Monarch also had his eyes widened into large bells, and it looked as if he was on the verge of reverting to his dragon form.
Fairy Linglong was trembling in so much fear that her legs were clamped tightly together. Just thinking about how she had attempted to kill the young man previously was enough to make her blood run cold.
As powerful as they were, they were only bestowed with the powers to govern a single Sky. However, the young man before them had been recognized by all of the Nine Skies.
In other words, he was the Conferred King of the Nine Skies!
This marked the start of yet another legend.
...
Jiya!
In the firmament, the doors of a humble-looking straw hut opened, and a young man walked out. He gazed at the sky silently, but vaguely, one could see the corners of his lips edging up to form a slight smile.
“He has comprehended it far faster than I thought. Perhaps you were right all along...
“I’ll be waiting for him to create a miracle.”
...
In the Sky of Drifting Specters, Qi Meng walked out from his seclusion to gaze at the red clouds in the sky.
“Conferred King of the Nine Skies... Who could it be?”
As the Conferred God King of the Qi Clan, he was aware of how the Heaven Subjugation Monarch had risen to power back then, and he knew about the Conferred King of the Nine Skies as well. However, he could not fathom who had sparked such a grand phenomenon this time.
“It seems like it’s the rise of yet another Heaven Subjugation Monarch... What a pity that we weren’t able to get acquainted with him in advance. Otherwise, it would have guaranteed our Qi Clan’s prosperity for years to come,” Qi Meng muttered.
The world seemed to obey a certain cycle, but the closer they came to uncovering the secrets of the world, the more erratic they found the world to be. Even with the wisdom they had accrued over thousands of years, they were unable to fathom the world’s trajectory.
If he had known whom the Conferred King of the Nine Skies was, he would have gotten acquainted with the other party in advance. That would surely have been a blessing for their Qi Clan...
But there was simply no way to predict such a thing. Not even the God Monarchs had the ability to do so, let alone a mere Conferred God King.
“I wonder who it is...”
Qi Meng thought of all the cultivators who were on the verge of reaching God King realm pinnacle in his head, but there were none that seemed to fit the criteria.
“It looks like this God King has been maintaining quite a low profile, or else there’s no way I wouldn’t have been able to guess it!”
The Conferred God King of the Nine Skies was bound to be someone who possessed incomparable talent, so it should have been easy for him to guess who it was. Yet, he was simply unable to figure the identity of the person. It could only go to say that this God King was an incredibly humble and low-profile individual.
How rare.
There were not many low-profile individuals in the Firmament anymore!
...
“Someone has managed to become a Conferred God King of the Nine Skies, just like our teacher...”
On the cliff where Kong shi resided, Ancient Sage Zi Yuan looked at the energy gathering in the sky with a solemn look on his face.
“It must be Zhang shi...”
“For Zhang shi to receive the World Conferment, doesn’t that mean that our teacher...”
“Something must have happened to our teacher. Sigh. Our teacher told us to view Zhang Xuan as our leader and wait... I believe that he has his reasons for instructing us to do so. Let’s believe in our teacher and await his return.”
“Nothing can happen to you, Teacher...”
The crowd fell silent.
For some reason, to them, it felt like the World Conferment marked the end of their teacher’s legend and the start of Zhang shi’s legend.
...
Huhe! Huhe!
Panting heavily, a young man dodged the attack of a rabbit and successfully escaped to a nearby cavern.
Within the cavern, two beautiful ladies looked at him anxiously as they asked, “How is it?”
If Zhang Xuan was there, he would have recognized these two ladies as Yu Fei-er and Hu Yaoyao, whom he had met in the Azure not too long ago.
And the young man, naturally, was Luo Qiqi’s elder brother, Luo Xuanqing.
Having entered the Firmament through the Hall of Gods, they found themselves on the Grand Spirit Mountain, similar to Zhang Xuan and his direct disciples.
Due to having swallowed Zhang Xuan’s blood, they had overcome the spatial turbulence without sustaining too many injuries, and they had been able to quickly recover from their injuries too. Nevertheless, with their God realm primary stage cultivation, they were not able to easily deal with the threats lurking all around the Firmament.
“I couldn’t beat the rabbit, and I nearly got killed by it. It’s lucky that I ran away fast enough. However, it seems like we’ll have to starve for tonight as well...” Luo Xuanqing shook his head bitterly.
They had thought that the Firmament would be filled with spiritual energy and all sorts of treasures, but never in their wildest dreams would they have imagined that it was actually this barren. Despite being the strongest experts in the Azure, they did not even have the strength to deal with a mere rabbit.
Just the thought of it left them feeling deeply stifled.
“The flow of time in the Firmament is so slow, and the spatial pressure is far too great... Without adapting to such an environment, it would be hard for one to even walk around.” Hu Yaoyao could not help but ask, “Say, how do you think Zhang Xuan managed to break the dimension barrier to return to the Azure? How strong must he be in order to do that?”
“This...” The remaining two people fell silent.
They had expected the Firmament to be just a little more formidable than the Azure, but the gap between the two worlds was truly enormous.
With the sheer resilience of the spatial laws there, they could not imagine how Zhang Xuan could have torn open the dimension barrier to deliver the God Blood to them.
Just how powerful was he?
“When I headed out earlier, I encountered a few students who are out for an expedition,” Luo Xuanqing said. “According to what I heard, it seems like the cultivation realms in the Firmament are divided into God, Celestial God, God King, Conferred God King, and God Monarch! It has only been a month since he arrived at the Firmament, and taking into account his talent and speed of cultivation, I reckon that he should be a middle-tier God at the moment.
“As for returning to the Azure, I seriously doubt that. After all, he didn’t appear before us at all. My guess is that he might have sent the God Blood down through some sort of ritual. It shouldn’t be too difficult to do so with the powers of Starchaser Palace’s altar.”
Through eavesdropping on the conversation of the cultivators he had met earlier today, he had gained some understanding of the Firmament, and he knew how difficult it was to raise one’s cultivation there.
“This...” Hu Yaoyao pondered for a moment before shaking her head. “That fellow has always been good at achieving the impossible. I think his cultivation should be higher than that... Around high-tier God, I’d say!”
“You’re saying that his cultivation has leaped across two realms within a month?” Luo Xuanqing snorted in disbelief. “You are thinking too highly of him!”
“It is extremely difficult to do so, but I believe that he’s capable of it!” Yu Fei-er chirped in enthusiastically.
“Perhaps...”
Knowing that it was impossible to argue with these two fangirls, Luo Xuanqing shrugged before falling silent.
At this moment, the ground beneath them suddenly began to tremor, so the three of them quickly charged out of the cavern, only see with a sky filled with red clouds.
“What is that?”
“Is this some kind of skill cast by a God Monarch?”
“It feels like the world’s acknowledgement toward an individual to me. I felt the same way back when Zhang Xuan was acknowledged as a Celestial Master Teacher. I didn’t think that I would witness such a sight shortly after arriving in the Firmament. Alright then! From today on, I shall view that expert as my idol!” Luo Xuanqing declared with eyes filled with passion. “I shall view him as my target, and I shall rise through the ranks and surpass that darned lad Zhang Xuan!”
