Chapter 2187 The Disaster of Spirit Origin Royal City

Chapter 2187 The Disaster of Spirit Origin Royal City


As Feng Jiuge was unable to sense the presence of the gray congregation of energy, he could not sense any distinct difference in his physical condition as a result of Zhang Xuan’s treatment.


So, with a skeptical look on his face, he quietly sat down and began driving his zhenqi according to his cultivation technique.


It did not take him long to notice that something had changed within him.


Previously, his zhenqi would suddenly start vanis.h.i.+ng before he could even circulate it a full round through his meridians, and the more vehemently he tried to drive his zhenqi, the more energy he would lose.


But this time, his zhenqi did not vanish. Not only so, his dried out dantian was suddenly flouris.h.i.+ng with energy, threatening to erupt in him like a volcano.


In truth, the spiritual energy he had cultivated over the past two years had not completely vanished. Instead, it had been hidden by the gray congregation of energy.


As if a river freed of its dam, it spurted out uncontrollably and gushed all over his body. It was as if he was being born anew!


Boom!


His cultivation that was on the verge of falling beneath Celestial G.o.d realm began shooting up at a crazy pace, barging through bottleneck after bottleneck relentlessly.


Low-tier Celestial G.o.d realm intermediate stage…


Low-tier Celestial G.o.d realm advanced stage…


Low-tier Celestial G.o.d realm pinnacle…


In less than fifteen minutes, he managed to surpa.s.s his former peak to reach high-tier Celestial G.o.d realm pinnacle! “I…”


Feeling the overflowing energy within his body, Feng Jiuge’s eyes reddened.


At this very instant, he knew that he had managed to overcome the adversity that stood in his path to rise once more. And the reason he could do so was due to the young man before him.


“Teacher!” Feng Jiuge kneeled on the floor and kowtowed.


Previously, he had only acknowledged Zhang Xuan as his teacher because he thought that he had no other way out of this. Yet, he was starting to realize that this might be the wisest decision he had made in his life.


“Rise!” Zhang Xuan said as he helped Feng Jiuge up.


At the same time, he took a look at his Library of Heaven’s Path and saw that, just like with Zhuo Yan, a golden page had formed.


The two golden pages were placed on the bookshelves side by side, emanating a brilliant sheen.


“Feng Jiuge has recovered his cultivation?”


“No, that’s not all. He even managed to advance further than before!”


“Who is that physician? He’s amazing!”


The crowd in the tavern could hardly believe their eyes.


The elder from before also widened his mouth in shock. “This… This…”


In the end, it turned out that the young man had really been trying to treat Feng Jiuge! To think that he wasted so many of his words for nothing! Humph!


Paying no heed to the shocked crowd, Zhang Xuan looked at Feng Jiuge and asked, “What did you encounter two years ago that caused your cultivation to start dropping so drastically?”


“I took on a mission that required me to visit the abyss beneath Royal City,” Feng Jiuge said. “I unintentionally entered a hidden dimension, but for some reason, I lost consciousness. By the time I came to once more, I was already like that. I have no idea what really happened to me…”


The abyss beneath Royal City?” Zhang Xuan repeated the key phrase in Feng Jiuge’s words.


Spirit Origin Royal City was indeed floating right above a ma.s.sive abyss. Was there some sort of secret hidden inside the abyss?


Seeing that Zhang Xuan was unfamiliar with the history of Spirit Origin Royal City, Feng Jiuge began explaining it. “The abyss suddenly appeared several decades ago, causing the entire Spirit Origin Royal City to collapse into it. The three Conferred G.o.d Kings spent a great deal of their strength and a feather of the Deathless Monarch in order to rebuild Spirit Origin Royal City back to its prosperous state, which is also what you see today…”


As an ex-core member of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, he knew quite a bit about the confidential secrets regarding the city.


“The entire Spirit Origin Royal City collapsed into the abyss?” Zhang Xuan was stunned.


To be honest, he had been quite intrigued when he first saw Spirit Origin Royal City. There was no reason for the city to have been built above an abyss, and there was no reason it should be flying. In the end, it turned out that things had only happened that way because they had no other choice.


The capitals of the Nine Skies were situated at the center of the territories so as to gather all of the fortune and Anima of Yearning around. For this reason, they could not be s.h.i.+fted easily.


As such, even when Spirit Origin Royal City collapsed decades ago, in order to avoid any instability, they could only continue building upon where the land had collapsed.


The result of that was the current floating city.


“If the city collapsed abruptly, what happened to the people living there?” Zhang Xuan asked.


“I wasn’t born back then, so I don’t really know the details. However, based on what I have heard from the elders in the clan, it seems like even though the collapse was very abrupt, quite a few people still managed to escape with their lives due to the protection of the Deathless Monarch. Basically, almost everyone who had reached the G.o.d realm survived that crisis!”


But then, Feng Jiuge sighed deeply before continuing. “Still, as you know, the Firmament is mostly filled with people whose cultivation has yet to reach the G.o.d realm. In other words, that crisis took away nearly ninety percent of the population of Spirit Origin Royal City. No one knows whether they are living within the abyss or are already dead. The abyss is simply too deep, such that even the Fire Feather Conferred G.o.d King isn’t able to get to the bottom of it.”


The tier of life on the Firmament followed a pyramid shape.


Most of the population were just ordinary people, or in other words, Semi-Divinities. Only ten percent of them were able to earn the rights to cultivate and rise to greater heights.


“An abyss suddenly appeared, causing ninety percent of the people in the city to vanish all of a sudden…”


Zhang Xuan’s body jolted as four words surfaced in his mind—City of Collapsed s.p.a.ce.


Legend had it that the City of Collapsed s.p.a.ce of the Azure had suddenly fallen from the heavens several thousand years ago. The lifeforms and buildings within the city had gradually transformed into the air of degeneration under the corrosion of the Azure’s spiritual energy, making it a dangerous land that no one dared to enter easily.


Could that have something to do with Spirit Origin Royal City?


This hypothesis was not completely without basis as Zhang Xuan had seen the tomb of the Deathless Monarch back in the City of Collapsed s.p.a.ce!


If he thought deeper into it, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and the Azure’s Starchaser Palace came from the same origin, and those from Starchaser Palace had the altar of the City of Collapsed s.p.a.ce…


Could it be that Spirit Origin Royal City had fallen through the cracks of the dimension barrier and plummeted into the Azure. A portion of those living there had managed to survive the impact, and they went on to create Starchaser Palace. On the other hand, there was also a portion of people who plummeted further into the Master Teacher Continent and eventually came to be known as the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.


If that was the case, it meant that the ancestors of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and Starchaser Palace were actually G.o.ds of the Sky of Spirit Origin!


He really had to look deeper into this matter.


If there was a power that could kill the Deathless Monarch and thrust countless lives through the dimension barrier and onto the lower worlds, he needed to be wary. It could pose a terrifying threat in the future.


Traveling through the dimension barrier was no easy feat. He had experienced it himself, so he knew how difficult it was. Even an expert of Luo Ruoxin’s caliber had nearly lost her life in the process of doing so!


This was a cause for concern.


Then again, all of this was just his conjecture. Perhaps he would only uncover the truth after meeting Luo Ruoxin or Kong s.h.i.+.


“Oh right, I can ask him… Vicious! Is there any chance that your predecessors possess the bloodline of the G.o.ds?” Zhang Xuan asked.


Sealed in the Book of Heaven’s Path, Vicious had followed him to the Firmament as well. All this while, Zhang Xuan had been giving him G.o.d Essence Pills so that he could cultivate as well. Over the past few days, he managed to overcome his bottleneck as a G.o.d to become a low-tier Celestial G.o.d.
