Chapter 684: Feihuang's Teacher, the Immortal Zuo Ci

With the nine trials passed, Nan Feihuang's body was nourished by Godly Power, and his injuries recovered slightly.

He opened his eyes and discovered that he was not in the God Domain at this moment, nor in that wasteland, but was instead in a pale space.

Standing before him was an old man; although this old man's beard and hair were all white, his gaze was like a torch, his spirit was vigorous, and his Daoist robe made him appear like an Immortal, with every gesture revealing an incomparable Immortal air and Daoist bone.

Seeing him stroke his long beard, he said with a smile, "Child, this should be our first meeting, but I know you very well."

"Senior, who are you?" Nan Feihuang asked curiously. He could feel that the old man before him held no malice toward him, and since he had appeared at the critical moment when he completed the nine trials, perhaps it was related to his Unparalleled Divine General Trials.

The proof was his voice, which was exactly the same as the voice of the kind old man who had been issuing the trials to him all along.

The old man said, "Hehe, my name is Zuo Ci. You have practiced the Dunjia Heavenly Book, the unique art I created with my life's cultivation; calling me 'Teacher' should not be an overstatement, right?"

"You are... Zuo Ci, one of the three Immortals of the late Eastern Han Dynasty?" Nan Feihuang was startled and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Student Nan Feihuang pays respects to Teacher."

Zuo Ci was right; he had learned the "Dunjia Heavenly Book" that Zuo Ci had created in his lifetime, so calling him Teacher was only proper.

"Hehe, good child, no need for such formalities. Actually, my true self is not here. In my original world, my Dunjia Heavenly Book suddenly disappeared, so I sent out countless true spirits to search for it, and finally, I found you in this world," Zuo Ci said.

So, the person he saw at this moment was merely one of his true spirits.

He was truly worthy of being a figure known as an Immortal.

"The 'Dunjia Heavenly Book' is my proudest work of my life. Originally, I intended to take it back, but after observing you, I discovered that you have utilized it very well, and even used it to unify this chaotic continent, without bringing shame to this book. Therefore, I am willing to accept you as my disciple; from now on, you are the true successor of the 'Dunjia Heavenly Book'," Zuo Ci said.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Nan Feihuang bowed and thanked him. "Teacher, the voice of the Divine General Trials the Dunjia Heavenly Book gave me in the past was cold and ruthless, but starting from the fifth trial, it suddenly became very kind and similar to your voice. In fact, the person who has been issuing the trials to me since then is you, isn't it?"

Zuo Ci smiled and nodded. "Hehe, clever child. After I found the Dunjia Heavenly Book, I discovered that after this book accompanied you and became your martial soul, it began to adapt to the rules of this world and absorbed the fortune of this world, condensing a God Position on its own. I then used the identity of an examiner to test you. You are very good and did not let me down."

"I have appeared today only to tell you one thing: when you inherit the God Position, go to this place to inherit it." Zuo Ci extended a finger, tapped Nan Feihuang's brow, and guided a piece of information into Nan Feihuang's mind.

"This is... I see. Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. In this way, the one thing I was most worried about is completely resolved," Nan Feihuang said gratefully.

"It is not yet completely resolved. On this continent, there still exist people who pose a threat to you. However, everything that follows will depend on your own fortune. After all, I am only a true spirit and cannot help you much. After today, I fear it will be difficult for us to meet again," Zuo Ci reminded him. "I am about to leave. My disciple, remember to use the Dunjia Heavenly Book well. Rule the world with hegemony, govern the world with benevolence, and I sincerely pray that you can create an era of peace in this world!"

"Yes, this disciple bids farewell to Teacher!" Nan Feihuang cupped his hands. Zuo Ci had already helped him a lot, and he was not someone who relied on his elders to clean up his messes.

He would face the remaining threats together with his partners and family.

In the blink of an eye, Nan Feihuang changed spaces again. This time, he had truly returned to the Douluo Continent, to that very wasteland battlefield.

At this moment, it was as if the place had undergone a magnitude-ten earthquake; not a blade of grass remained, and everywhere were cliffs and precipices cracked open by the battle. It was estimated that no life would survive here for the next few decades.

It was fortunate that most of his battle with the Slaughter God had taken place within the God Domain; otherwise, the destruction caused would have been even greater.

Nan Feihuang immediately returned to Gulei Imperial City. Inside the palace, Nan Tianchen, Lan Xue, and Xue Ke's family had been waiting anxiously.

Seeing Nan Feihuang return, they were all so moved they could not control themselves.

"Brother Feihuang!" Xue Ke pounced into Nan Feihuang's arms, crying with pear blossoms in the rain. "That's great, you've finally returned!"

"I'm sorry, Ke'er, for making you worry. Don't worry, I'm fine," Nan Feihuang comforted her while stroking her hair.

"Feihuang... that god?" Lan Xue was still somewhat worried; after all, her son had gone to fight a god.

She had been unable to help at all this time. Although she possessed the Absolute Zero Stone, achieving the Ice God was not that easy; even if she broke through to the Ninety-nine Level, she would still need at least several more years.

"He has already perished by my hand," Nan Feihuang said proudly.

Hearing this, Nan Tianchen and Lan Xue were overjoyed. Their son was truly too outstanding, from the Bone Sect to the siege by the six Elders of the Spirit Hall, the duel with the Offering of the Spirit Hall, and the decisive battle against the two peaks of the Spirit Master world, right up to slaying a god today.

His opponents were stronger each time, but he had never lost.

"Feihuang, next time, Mother will definitely be able to stand by your side," Lan Xue stepped forward to hug her son and daughter-in-law. She had originally thought that becoming a Title Douluo would be enough.

She had not expected that the opponents her son encountered would be so terrifying; she now deeply felt her own powerlessness.

In the coming days, she would definitely strive to comprehend the Absolute Zero Stone and aim to achieve the Ice God in the future.

Nan Tianchen's gaze, however, was somewhat dim. His wife at least had some hope, but he estimated that he would only be able to rely on his son and wife for the rest of his life.

Although he was quite happy doing so and did not care about the world's judgment.

But if possible, he also hoped to stand side-by-side with his wife and son, even if it were only to help with small matters.

Seeing his father's gaze, Nan Feihuang smiled and said, "Father, do you want to become a god?"

"Become a god? Me?" Nan Tianchen was startled. "Is it possible for me to become a god too?"

He understood his own aptitude; even this Title Douluo rank had been piled up by his son finding him Immortal Herbs, Blood Beads, and a large number of soul bones.

With so many resources, he had barely been pushed to the level of an ordinary Title Douluo; becoming a Super Douluo was basically out of the question.

In his situation, how could he have the qualifications to become a god?

Nan Feihuang said confidently, "Of course it's possible!" After saying this, he opened his right hand, and a light orb as black as ink was held in his palm.
