Chapter 1901: Would You Be Willing to Take Me as Your Master?

"Careful, this is heavenly fire..."

Kong Shiyao was startled.

Heavenly fire burns everything; even such a powerful barrier could be scorched. Sticking a finger in would be suicide, wouldn't it?

Before the sound ended, Zhang Xuan's finger was already on the flame. The black fire twisted on his fingertip like a shy bride, looking very bashful, yet also like an old flame of many years, with a coquettish look in its eyes.

Kong Shiyao's eyebrows twitched; she couldn't bear to look.

Why did it feel like everything that came into contact with this Zhang Xuan immediately became twisted?

As a Heaven-recognized master, a transcendent figure like an ancestor, he had crafted a brick specifically for slapping faces, a spear that constantly bound people, and when fighting gods, he targeted eyes, neck, groin... no place he could attack was spared, showing no dignity at all.

Now, even the revered heavenly fire was acting like this, as frivolous as could be...

Her cognitive world was about to collapse.

"Little fire, did Dao send you here?"

Ignoring the shocked crowd, Zhang Xuan looked at the flame on his fingertip.

The heavenly fire seemed to understand his words and wriggled.

Zhang Xuan frowned.

Although the heavenly fire had no unique consciousness, its actions just now had made it clear: it was indeed sent by the Heavenly Dao to destroy the Kunxu Realm.

Comparing the world where the Master Teacher Continent was located to a human body, the Heavenly Dao was the immune system, actively eliminating various hidden dangers. The Kunxu Realm had cultivated something that surpassed the rules, equivalent to a tumor that must be removed, with no room for negotiation.

The Heavenly Dao cannot be destroyed, just as the immune system cannot be abolished. Once lost, the entire world would collapse before long.

Squeezing out through the crack and returning to the Master Teacher Continent, he saw dark clouds overhead, with countless thunderbolts and flames constantly converging, as if determined to annihilate the Kunxu Realm completely.

Turning to look at Yan Qing, who had followed, Zhang Xuan said, "The death of a Void Shattering Realm expert can replace the Kunxu Realm, right?"

"Yes! That was the method used to set up the formation back then!" Yan Qing handed over another jade token.

After quickly reading it, Zhang Xuan's mind stirred, and a figure appeared before him.

"Is this a god? No... you refined a god into a soulless golden man?" Yan Qing was startled, nearly fainting.

The figure before them exuded a long and profound aura, clearly reaching the Void Shattering Realm, no weaker than the god they had just fought!

A god from the Upper Firmament, killed and refined into a golden man... if word got back, it would be the greatest blasphemy.

"Yes."

Since he had already taken it out, there was nothing to hide. Zhang Xuan nodded, and with a thought, his soul left his body and entered the golden man.

A soulless golden man was like a puppet, unable to move on its own. To use it, one's soul had to enter its body. During the fight with that "god," his soul couldn't leave his body, so he hadn't taken it out.

Now, he would try if it could replace the formation core mentioned by the other party.

This creature's original body was a Void Shattering Realm expert. Although it had merged with his soul and was under his control, it had long been refined and was inseparable, so it should meet the conditions.

Boom!

Sure enough, as soon as his soul entered the golden man, the dark clouds immediately gathered around. Yan Qing and the others' eyes lit up, and just as they felt excited, the thunderbolts suddenly flickered and vanished without a trace, as if they had never been there.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.

According to the jade token, once a Void Shattering Realm expert appeared, they would attract all the Heavenly Dao's wrath, then through special means, suffer in place of the Kunxu Realm until death...

Why did it flee as soon as it appeared?

"I understand..."

Standing dumbfounded for a long time, Yan Qing came to his senses and smiled bitterly: "This corpse is a 'god' from the Upper Firmament, not a life form of this world. The other side dares not attack..."

Zhang Xuan understood.

It was like someone with a foreign nationality; even if they broke the law, the local law had no good way to deal with them.

This golden man, originally a life form from the Upper Firmament, had reached Void Shattering but transcended the world's laws. The Heavenly Dao of the Master Teacher Continent dared not harm it in the slightest.

That was why the two gods, coming through the spatial rift, could wield transcendent power without directly attracting thunderbolts and being struck dead on the spot.

Native human experts who reached this realm, once they used their power, easily provoked the Heavenly Dao's threat, and might even attract lightning attacks.

"So, does this count as a solution?"

Understanding the situation, Zhang Xuan found it both amusing and frustrating.

The Heavenly Dao, though said to be fair and just, treating all beings as straw dogs, was in fact still a bully that feared the strong.

For example, back then, Luo Ruoxi was at most driven away, not attacked by thunderbolts or heavenly fire.

"This... Master Zhang, try withdrawing your soul from the golden man!" After a pause, Yan Qing said.

He wasn't sure if the problem was solved, so he could only try and see.

Understanding his intention, Zhang Xuan's mind stirred, and his soul returned to his original body. As soon as it was done, the dark clouds gathered again, and thunderbolts began to accumulate.

"It seems it won't work..."

Smiling bitterly, Zhang Xuan shook his head.

He couldn't keep his soul in the golden man forever, and once it came out, the thunderbolts would detect it... In other words, this method hadn't succeeded; it was also a failure.

"If it really doesn't work, I still have another 'god' corpse here. One of you could refine it and guard this place..."

Zhang Xuan started to speak but then stopped, unable to continue.

He did have another "god" corpse, not yet refined, but none of those present were soul masters. Even if they were, refining a Void Shattering Realm expert's corpse couldn't be done overnight.

After all, they lacked the Heavenly Dao aura, and their souls didn't cultivate the Heavenly Dao technique.

In fact, aside from himself, almost no one in the current era could accomplish this.

"No one can refine it, and we can't find a native Void Shattering Realm expert. What should we do?"

Watching the dark clouds gather, Zhang Xuan's mind raced, as if about to spark.

"By the way, the Library of Heaven's Path itself represents the Heavenly Dao... In that case, can the Book of Heavenly Dao solve the current trouble?"

A flash of inspiration, and the Book of Heavenly Dao, that heaven-defying divine artifact, came to mind.

The "god" summoned by the Spirit King of the Spirit Race had been crushed to death by this thing.

However, it wasn't available now. To form it, one needed someone to take him as master and be sincerely grateful...

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan turned to Kong Shiyao, his eyes sincere: "You... would you be willing to take me as your master?"

"No!"

Kong Shiyao said.
