Chapter 2239 The Flood of Spiritual Energy Is Here!

Having come this far with Kong shi, Ancient Sage Zi Yuan could be considered a person who had braved many storms. There were very few things in the world that could shake him.

But when it came to pinnacle God Essence Pills, even for them, they would need at least one or two months to assimilate the massive amount of spiritual energy harnessed within them. Yet, the young man swallowed a hundred of them in a single sitting without any rest…

Not only was he fine, he even gave some feedback on the taste of the pills.

The hell!

Was that even the main point?

Ancient Sage Zi Yuan and the others suddenly did not feel like talking to the young man.

That thing inside your body must not a stomach but a black hole!

While Ancient Sage Zi Yuan was still feeling exasperated by the situation, he noticed that the young man was staring at him intently.

“Other than pinnacle God Essence Pills, do you have any other pills that taste… I mean, harness purer spiritual energy? Such as Pill Kings or something? If you do, I am willing to buy them from you. I’ll make sure to compensate you properly after I successfully become a God Monarch.”

“We don’t have anything better than that,” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan replied with a shake of his head.

His teacher had told them to treat Zhang Xuan as their leader, so naturally, the young man had the rights to access their pills. It was just that they had nothing more potent than pinnacle God Essence Pills with them.

“Back then, Kong shi would have needed a great amount of spiritual energy in order to make a breakthrough, too. How did he manage to acquire the massive amount of spiritual energy that was required?” Zhang Xuan asked curiously.

He could imagine that Kong shi would have been in the same position as he currently was. Relying on just pinnacle God Essence Pills would only bring his cultivation to God King realm pinnacle.

If so, what did Kong shi make use of in order to become a God Monarch?

“He managed to become a God Monarch through the Flood of Spiritual Energy,” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan replied. “It’s a phenomenon that occurs once every decade, and each time, it brings all sorts of treasures into the world along with it. It was in the Flood of Spiritual Energy forty years ago that we and our teacher grew swiftly to our current levels!”

Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.

He had long heard of the Flood of Spiritual Energy, but he was unsure about the details surrounding it.

But just by looking at the sheer number of Conferred God Kings and God Kings that had died in the previous Floods of Spiritual Energy, it was not too difficult to deduce that there were amazing treasures that one could procure from it.

In fact, some of the things were at the level where even God Monarchs would lose their rationality over them.

Otherwise, they would not have gone to the extent of taking away his direct disciples. That only showed how highly they valued the Flood of Spiritual Energy.

“How long is there before the next Flood of Spiritual Energy?”

“The phenomenon happens once every decade, but it’s impossible to estimate the exact date. Sometimes, it comes a bit late; sometimes, it comes a little early. Going by past estimates, there should be still another half a year before the Flood of Spiritual Energy arrived. However, the earlier World Conferment has shaken things up quite a bit, so I would say that there’s a good chance that the Fifth Flood of Spiritual Energy will be happening very soon,” Ancient Sage Zi Yuan said as he gazed into the sky.

The earlier World Conferment had caused the spiritual energy all over the Firmament to congregate together and linger in the air. Such conditions could easily induce an earlier arrival of the Flood of Spiritual Energy.

Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing those words.

Since the pinnacle God Essence Pills were useless to him, it seemed like he would have to wait for the next Flood of Spiritual Energy to try to obtain even more potent medicinal herbs in order to make a breakthrough.

For the next two days, Zhang Xuan remained on the mountain, devoting most of his time to looking through Kong shi’s book collection. After that, he bade farewell and took his leave.

What was lagging behind was his physical body cultivation. Little Chick had told him that he could repair the Deathless Lava Reservoir swiftly once they returned to the Sky of Spirit Origin, so Zhang Xuan felt that it would be best to get it over and done with.

With Little Chick around, there was no need for him to use the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation. They could just rip through space to go wherever they wanted.

A few breaths later, he, Luo Qiqi, and Little Chick arrived back in the Sky of Spirit Origin.

“Your Sovereignty, congratulations on your return!”

Standing right in front of Spirit God Palace were Fire Feather Conferred God King and the others. They seemed to have already heard of the news, so they had chosen to stand there in wait for Little Chick’s return.

“Prepare some pills that are rich in spiritual energy for me. I need as many of them as possible,” Little Chick said with a wave of his hand.

“Yes!”

The Fire Feather Conferred God King and the others quickly got to action.

Two hours later, they returned with many invaluable medicinal herbs in hand.

There was no way they would dare hold back when they had received a direct order from their God Monarch. So, they practically brought every precious medicinal herb that was in their vault over to present to Little Chick.

Looking at the incredible array of medicinal herbs before him, Zhang Xuan was stupefied.

He was utterly flabbergasted by just how rich these Conferred God King clans were.

Even though there were no notable medicinal herbs that could help him advance his cultivation, what they had was more than enough to forge several hundred pinnacle God Essence Pills.

Gathering all the medicinal herbs together, Little Chick led Zhang Xuan into Spirit God Palace, and soon, they arrived before a pool of lava.

As the lava rumbled, an intense heatwave would burst forth.

With a wave of Little Chick’s hand, the medicinal herbs scattered in the air above the lava pool. They swiftly burst into spiritual energy before surging right into the lava pool.

Qiu!

With the massive influx of spiritual energy, the searing lava swiftly morphed into a magnificent phoenix of massive proportions, towering over the entire pool.

Little Chick slit his finger and dripped a few droplets of his blood essence into the lava pool.

Xiong xiong!

The phoenix grew even larger as a result of the infusion of the blood essence. Not only so, it began to emanate the unique aura of a God Monarch, creating great pressure on those that stood in the vicinity.

“Young Master, I have finished preparing the Deathless Lava Reservoir. You can enter now,” Little Chick said with a smile.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan quickly walked into the lava pool.

Tzzzzz!

As soon as he entered the lava pool, he could sense concentrated energy streaming into his body through his acupoints, flowing through his meridians and revitalizing his body.

Zhang Xuan quickly sat down in the middle of the pool and focused his attention on absorbing the energy.

Just like that, his physical body grew at a rapid pace.

God King realm primary stage.

God King realm intermediate stage.

God King realm advanced stage.

…

Conferred God King realm pinnacle!

Four hours later, the energy within the lava pool finally receded. At the same time, Zhang Xuan also concluded his cultivation.

“In term of the sheer strength of my physical body, I am already comparable to a Conferred God King realm pinnacle cultivator,” Zhang Xuan muttered with gleaming eyes.

His physical body had made great advancements within the past four hours, advancing all the way from God King realm primary stage to Conferred God King realm pinnacle!

Using just his physical body, he was already able to put up a fight against Conferred God King realm pinnacle cultivators and easily triumph over them!

And his strongest trump card at the moment was still not his physical body but his soul cultivation!

As a Conferred King of the Nine Skies, looking at it just in terms of soul cultivation, even nine Conferred God Kings of the same tier would not be able to withstand his might.

After he was done cultivating, he released his clone to allow him to cultivate as well.

Soon enough, the latter’s cultivation reached Conferred God King realm pinnacle, too.

As for Vicious, due to his slow rate of cultivation, it was unlikely that he would be able to grow too quickly. So, Zhang Xuan kept him sealed within the Book of Heaven’s Path.

With this, his cultivation had finally reached its bottleneck. Until the Flood of Spiritual Energy arrived, it was unlikely that he would be able to raise his zhenqi cultivation any further. So, he decided to focus his attention on creating his sword art.

But the next moment, Little Chick suddenly appeared before him and said, “Young Master, the Cloud Dragon Monarch has invited the other eight God Monarchs to head to the Flooding Sea!”

“Flooding Sea?”

“Yes. It’s the area where the Flood of Spiritual Energy originates. Even though the phenomenon will swiftly encompass the entire Firmament, the most valuable of items will only be found within the Flooding Sea!” Little Chick said.

“Is the Flood of Spiritual Energy going to happen soon?” Zhang Xuan asked.

“Based on the new estimates, it will likely occur within the next two days.” Little Chick nodded. “That’s why the Cloud Dragon Monarch invited the other God Monarchs over in order to make preparations for it.”

“Let’s go then,” Zhang Xuan said as he rose to his feet.

The Flood of Spiritual Energy was finally happening!

Perhaps he could make use of this opportunity to raise his cultivation to Conferred God King or even… God Monarch!
