Chapter 2250: There Is an Emperor Visiting

After some time, the oppressive feeling vanished. Zhang Xuan and Luo Qiqi looked forward again and immediately saw a young man suspended directly in front of them.

He appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old, his body slightly thin and somewhat frail. His physique was the same as when the Divine King transformed earlier, except his head was no longer that of a rooster, but had human ears.

He was not as extraordinarily handsome as Zhang Xuan had imagined; instead, he looked a bit youthful and unseasoned. Judging solely by his appearance, it was impossible to imagine that this person was the controller of Spirit Origin Heaven and one of the most powerful experts in the God Realm.

“Are you… Little Yellow Chick?”

“Master…” The young man smiled shyly.

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed his greatest fear—the recovery of memories and the potential loss of Little Yellow Chick's identity—had not come to pass. The other party was still the proud and mischievous little fellow who had followed him since the Master Teacher Continent.

“Master, I have just recovered and still need to consolidate my cultivation. Please return to the God Realm first. Once I have consolidated my cultivation, I will come find you; it won't cause any delays.”

The young man said.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

When confronting an Emperor-level expert, it was natural to be in one's best state. Otherwise, one would be at a disadvantage. Even if the other party hadn't said it, he would have done the same.

After all, time here passed a hundred times faster than in the God Realm, providing more opportunities for both cultivation advancement and consolidation.

“Feng, thank you for your guardianship over the years… Now, I shall restore your body and power…”

The young man looked again at the skeleton not far away, smiled faintly, and pointed a finger. A drop of blood immediately flew over and landed on it.

Sizzle!

Instantly, flesh and blood regenerated on the skeleton. Following a sharp phoenix cry, another enormous phoenix was reborn in the raging flames.

Moments later, a young man appeared before them, clad in golden armor and a golden helmet.

It was precisely the skeletal general from before, the Undying Emperor's most loyal guardian.

“Let’s go…”

Seeing a peak-level Divine King acting as a guardian, and knowing that Little Yellow Chick's own power had been restored, Zhang Xuan knew Little Yellow Chick was certainly out of danger. He beckoned to Luo Qiqi again, tore through space, and returned to the Firmament.

Entering a higher realm from a lower one was much easier than returning. The two gradually unsealed their cultivation and were soon pushed into spatial turbulence by the Heavenly Dao of the Firmament.

Releasing all their Divine King level power would summon them to the God Realm. Half a day later, with a jolt, the two landed on the ground.

It was Spirit Engine Mountain, the very place where he had landed with Zhao Ya and others before!

“Where to now?” Luo Qiqi asked, looking at him.

“First, we return to Youlan Imperial City, then we'll take the Great Teleportation Array to Freedom Heaven!” Zhang Xuan said.

Small places like Nightfall City didn't have Great Teleportation Arrays. To stop Luo Ruoxi and Kong Shi, they had to go to the Imperial City first.

With their Divine King strength, whether or not they had the City Lord's identity was irrelevant. The two quickly returned to Youlan Imperial City.

Instead of leaving immediately, Zhang Xuan took Luo Qiqi to his residence.

After all the rushing between Spirit Origin Heaven, Exquisite Heaven, and the Firmament, returning to Youlan Heaven allowed him to bring the King-Sealing Barrier-Breaking Pills he had previously refined to his parents and Sun Qiang. This would help them break through their barriers sooner and gain the ability to protect themselves.

Having reached the Divine King cultivation, he was already at the pinnacle of the God Realm. He arrived at his residence silently, unnoticed by anyone.

“Young Master!”

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Sun Qiang excitedly came to greet him, his face filled with emotion.

At this moment, Sun Qiang had actually reached the Middle-tier Heavenly God realm. Although still a long way from the High-tier, given his temperament, it seemed he hadn't slacked off during this time.

“Where are Master and Madam?”

Zhang Xuan asked.

“They’re in the courtyard, drinking tea with a guest…” Sun Qiang replied.

“A guest?” Zhang Xuan frowned. His heart sank. He rushed into the courtyard and indeed saw his parents and a young man sitting formally, holding teacups and delicately sipping tea.

The young man appeared to be in his twenties, his face showing resolve and tenacity, giving him a cold and stern demeanor. His gaze was distant, and his cultivation and strength were indiscernible.

Behind him stood an old man, resembling a servant, bowed in place, unmoving and silent.

“Could it be… an Emperor?” He looked closely but couldn't discern the other party's strength, and Zhang Xuan's eyebrows twitched.

After hearing Sun Qiang's words, he had already swept the area with his divine sense. If he hadn't seen the person with his own eyes, he wouldn't have sensed their presence at all…

This alone indicated that their strength was definitely far superior to his own!

Although he was currently just an ordinary Divine King, with his Sentient Heaven Cultivation Art and sword techniques, he could even fight against a Conferred Divine King. If Baiye Qinghong were to attack again, he could easily crush her even without using the Tome of Heaven's Path.

Yet, with such strength, he couldn't detect this young man…

And he was with his parents and others? How could Zhang Xuan not be shocked?

“This is my son, Zhang Xuan…” Seeing him enter the courtyard, Meng Jiansheng, seemingly unaware of the powerful presence before her, introduced him with a smile.

The young man nodded, not rising, but simply looked over. With just one glance, Zhang Xuan felt as if a long sword had torn through space, ready to crush him into dust at any moment.

Even the Library was trembling incessantly, as if it would be shattered by a single sword strike, and his soul quivered uncontrollably.

“You are… the Emperor from the Sword Dwelling?” His body stiffened, and a name popped into Zhang Xuan's mind, prompting him to speak involuntarily.

According to the information he had, two of the Nine Great Emperors were the most mysterious: the first being the Spirit Rhinoceros Emperor of Freedom Heaven, and the second, the one from the Sword Dwelling in Sword God Heaven.

This Emperor didn't seek out geniuses, didn't establish Conferred Divine Kings, and didn't even publicize anything. However… none of the other Great Emperors dared to cause trouble in Sword God Heaven.

Clearly, this Emperor's strength was only stronger, not weaker, compared to the other Great Emperors!

“Sit,” the young man said, without answering, and smiled faintly.

Knowing that if the other party truly intended to act, his current strength would be utterly insufficient to stop them, Zhang Xuan said no more and sat down before him.

The old man behind him stepped forward, poured tea, and offered it.

Zhang Xuan casually accepted it, his heart uneasy. “May I ask… why the Emperor has sought me out here?”

If an Emperor truly wished to see him, sending a Conferred Divine King to notify him would suffice. Yet, this one had come directly to his residence and courtyard, and even the Qiankun Devil Emperor of Youlan Heaven hadn't noticed, which naturally made him uneasy.

The young man still didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xuan as if appraising a treasure, a complex expression in his eyes.

Moments later, he put down his teacup. “Would you be able to demonstrate the sword technique you've comprehended for me?”

“Sword technique?” Zhang Xuan's eyebrows furrowed.

The other party was an Emperor from Sword God Heaven. Could he have come simply to see his sword technique?

Perhaps… it was genuinely possible!

The sword technique he had comprehended, though limited by his current strength and seemingly insignificant to an Emperor, had genuinely surpassed the Heavenly Dao and transcended reincarnation, making it one of the most supreme sword arts in the God Realm.

As the strongest sword practitioner in the God Realm, it was not surprising that he would want to see it.

Thinking this, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
