Chapter 2246: Impact on the God King (Part 2)

"I'm serious... Are you worried about time? If you don't want to do it for real, you could experience a 'Yellow Millet Dream'! As long as the right environment is set up, not only could you conceive and raise a child, but even watch them grow to adulthood without losing much time in the real world."

The little yellow chick said.

The Divine Emperor, who could operate the Space-Time Mirror, naturally also possessed the special formation for a 'Yellow Millet Dream'.

This formation allows one to quickly enter a dream state where time flows extremely fast. One could live an entire lifetime within the dream, and the yellow millet cooking in the outside world wouldn't even be done.

Zhang Xuan pondered.

In that case, it might work, since it would all be in a dream, so it wouldn't matter much. However, he was only twenty years old. If he were to do this, it would be like living an entire lifetime prematurely, and by then, he might no longer possess his current mindset and youthful passion.

Furthermore, whether in a dream or reality, having a child implied having a wife. Regardless of whether it was real or not, it would be unfair to Luo Ruoxi.

"Is there another way?"

He shook his head and asked again.

"You don't have children, but you have many students. 'A teacher for a day is a father for life'... The emotions of parents are even stronger than that. As long as you can comprehend this, you won't need a 'Yellow Millet Dream'... nor will you need to conceive!"

The little yellow chick pursed its beak and said.

Its master was truly a blockhead.

This girl in front of him was so beautiful and deeply in love with him, yet he wouldn't seize such a good opportunity... He deserved to be single!

Wait a minute... It seemed it was a single chick too... At least this master of its was liked by someone, but it, let alone a hen, didn't even have a female duck...

The little yellow chick immediately became resentful.

"A teacher for a day, a father for life?"

Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.

He had no children and thus couldn't truly understand the love and affection of parents. However, he held no partiality towards his many students.

No matter how good something he owned was, he was willing to give it to them. As long as it helped them live better lives, he would spare no effort, no matter how great.

The sacrifices of parents were even greater than this...

At this thought, the smile of Sword Saint Xingmeng reappeared in his mind.

Knowing the dangers, he had still followed without hesitation to the God Realm. Knowing there would be countless unknown dangers, he had still desperately stood guard, never retreating.

This was parenthood, the greatest love on earth.

Asking for no return, seeking nothing, only giving.

"The thread in the kind mother's hand, becomes the clothes on the wandering son. Before his departure, she sewed it stitch by stitch, fearing his late return. Who says that an inch-long grass heart can repay the three-inch sunlight?"

An idea surged into his mind, and Zhang Xuan's *zhenqi* began to circulate within his body, accompanying the words. Streaks of sword qi pulsed around him, and the distorted space seemed to be torn open, revealing one crack after another.

"Simultaneously comprehending sword qi and a cultivation technique?"

The little yellow chick shrank its neck, its eyes wide.

Following its master, it knew that he usually comprehended cultivation techniques first, then explored sword arts. Yet at this moment, he was comprehending sword arts and cultivation techniques simultaneously...

His talent was just too heaven-defying!

"The tree desires calm, but the wind doesn't stop; the son desires to nurture, but his parents are gone..."

Sword qi crisscrossed, carrying unwillingness and reluctance.

In Zhang Xuan's previous life, his parents had died young, and he couldn't fulfill his filial duties. In this life, he had always tried, but similarly spent little time with his parents.

He couldn't truly experience the depth of feelings parents had, but he could imagine their worries.

Just like his feelings for his students.

His eleven students were scattered across the Nine Heavens; to say he wasn't worried would be a lie. By using this mindset to empathize with parents, he naturally understood how worried and conflicted they must feel.

For their children's future, they knew they couldn't stop them, but with dangers lurking, they felt reluctant and wished they could take their place.

This was parenthood; this was parental love!

The Pill King breakthrough pill suddenly appeared in the air, and he opened his mouth and swallowed it.

Potent medicinal energy surged within his body, and countless spiritual energies quickly gathered, transforming into streams of Heaven's Emotion *zhenqi*, filling the previously vast ocean of his cultivation.

This pill gathered the purest medicinal power from several Divine King Herbs, and was more potent than the accumulated power of a true Divine King. Once inside his body, the ocean of *zhenqi* that had been depleted by Heaven's Path *zhenqi* surged and ebbed once more, with waves crashing violently, creating a terrifying momentum.

Crack!

As the ocean filled, the Divine King barrier could no longer withstand it and burst open.

Zhang Xuan's aura, like a massive dragon, leapt into the air, undergoing a qualitative transformation.

After an unknown period, the power fluctuations ceased.

Zhang Xuan exhaled and stood up.

Although he had broken through to the Divine King realm, it was only the initial stage. It wasn't that the Pill King breakthrough pill was too weak, but that his previous consumption had been too great. Furthermore, Heaven's Emotion *zhenqi* had extremely high requirements for spiritual energy. To reach the peak, it would likely require at least several pills of this caliber.

For one pill to help fill the empty ocean and successfully achieve a Divine King breakthrough, its medicinal power was already immense!

"The remaining three Divine King Breaking Barrier Pills wouldn't have a significant effect on me," he thought. "Instead, they could help my parents, Sun Qiang, and others break through, so I won't use them for now..."

He smiled faintly.

There were still three Divine King Breaking Barrier Pills left in his storage ring. If he swallowed them now, they would have some effect on his cultivation, but not a huge one; he might not even break through to the mid-Divine King realm. But... if left for his parents, Sun Qiang, and others, it would be entirely different!

They could easily help them break through the shackles of peak High-rank Celestial Gods and achieve Divine Kinghood!

He lowered his head and looked inward.

After breaking through to Divine King, the *zhenqi* within his body became even purer. The range of his ocean of power expanded significantly; compared to his previous *zhenqi* reserves, it was like a drop in the ocean.

"Let's go!"

With his cultivation breakthrough, he no longer had to worry about the gray currents before him. Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, and the Divine King Sword appeared at his fingertips, cutting lightly.

His sword art began to circulate, forming a barrier around his body.

Heaven's Emotion, a Divine King realm sword art... "The tree desires calm, but the wind doesn't stop; the son desires to nurture, but his parents are gone!"

The sword qi was filled with reluctance.

What if his cultivation was higher? What if he earned more?

Once parents were gone, it would be too late to accompany them again.

Life was always like this: by the time one wanted to do something, it was often too late. And what one possessed, one often didn't cherish.

The little yellow chick and Luo Qiqi entered the sword qi barrier. Zhang Xuan moved, flying straight towards the gray mist before them.

The currents of air burst open, as if pierced by sword intent.

After flying continuously for half an hour, the mist disappeared, and Zhang Xuan and the others stopped.

The path ahead had no end, as if the spatial boundary was sealed off.

"Let's see if I can contact the Azure here..."

Without rushing, Zhang Xuan once again took out the Great Emperor Seal. With a thought, he transmitted an idea.

Runes flickered, and power circulated.

"It works..."

His eyes gleamed, and Zhang Xuan smiled faintly.

Here, he could already communicate with the Azure, and even sense the message transmitted by Du Qingyuan.

"Have Du Qingyuan perform the sacrifice..."

Knowing this, Zhang Xuan said no more and transmitted a string of words.

Azure... I'm back!
