The time taken to climb the stairway to heaven was too long. Therefore, most of the people left in the main hall were the relatives and friends of the five secondary saints, as well as the Sacred Gate's staff.
Thus, they were fortunate enough to witness a miracle.
At the same time, on the hard shell of the black turtle, a golden light shot up into the sky, as if it was going to pierce through the ceiling of the main hall. Accompanied by golden spots of light that sprinkled down like a drizzle, the Spiritual Qi in the air turned into phoenixes, qilins, jade rabbits, immortal herbs, and many other auspicious signs.
A holy and elegant chant resounded in the air, making anyone who heard it feel refreshed and dispelling all their fatigue.
"This is … the birth of a Sage?"
Everyone was shocked. They immediately gathered around the black turtle and looked up.
Whoosh!
A golden light shot out from the turtle's back and rushed into Du Changgong's glabella. Then, he opened his eyes.
For a moment, divine light shone in all directions!
"Congratulations Great Teacher Du for ascending to the position of a Sage!"
Xu Chunbo congratulated him.
The other onlookers also came to their senses and quickly thanked him.
"Thank you!"
Du Changgong's expression was still a little dazed. The main reason was that he didn't expect that a single poem from Sun Mo would cause such a huge change.
At that time, when Du Changgong heard "The Road Is Hard to Walk", a sense of heroism arose in his heart. He subconsciously thought that he was a secondary saint and still had to care about his reputation, so he gave up. But after he heard this poem, he changed his mind.
Even if he had to climb, he had to climb to the top!
Never admit defeat! Never give up!
There was nothing easy in life.
After untangling the knot in his heart, Du Changgong began to climb upwards. After more than an hour, his Saint Heart condensed and he broke through the profound mysteries, ascending to the Saint Realm.
"Saint Du, if I may be so bold as to ask, how did you achieve enlightenment?"
Some great teachers asked nervously. They wanted to accumulate experience.
"It's mainly because I heard a poem from Teacher Sun!"
Du Changgong had changed the way he addressed Sun Mo and was generous in sharing his experiences.
Hiss!
Upon hearing that it was related to Sun Mo, everyone was shocked.
Coincidentally, Second Sage Zhou, who had come out from the black turtle, also heard this name. He was stunned on the spot, and for a moment, he started to regret it.
If he didn't offend Sun Mo and became friends with him, he might be able to freeload off Sun Mo's poems and become a saint.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Four hours later, Sun Mo and Fang Hong also came out from the turtle's back.
Du Changgong, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately went up and bowed to Sun Mo. "Thank you, Teacher Sun, for your guidance, allowing me to become a saint!"
Fang Hong hurriedly dodged to the side. This was Sun Mo's glory. After that, she looked at him and understood. As expected, the song [Difficult Road to Travel] had caused Du Changgong to comprehend something.
"You flatter me!"
Sun Mo helped Du Changgong up.
"Sun... Second Sage, you're too amazing!"
Gu Xiuxun ran over and wanted to call out to Sun Mo, but she couldn't. This made her extremely depressed. The title of secondary saint was truly impressive.
The others also hurriedly offered their congratulations.
"F * ck, if I knew this would happen, I would have persevered a little longer!"
Gao Ning, who had rushed over after receiving the news, was so angry that he wanted to mutilate himself. After that, he grabbed Sun Mo's hand. "Teacher Sun, you must arrange a copy of that poem for me!"
Sun Mo wasn't of any help to Gao Ning, but Gao Ning also changed the way he addressed Sun Mo. He did this for the sake of freeloading off Sun Mo.
When Second Sage Zhou saw everyone surrounding Sun Mo and praising him, he felt unhappy. Therefore, he spoke, "Saint Xu, since everyone has come out, how are the results of this round decided?"
The surroundings instantly fell silent.
That was right. According to the rules, the last person would be eliminated. And for this round, both Sun Mo and Fang Hong had come out together.
The right to decide came to Xu Chunbo. Everyone thought that he would be conflicted, but they didn't expect him to directly make a decision.
"Sun Mo's performance in the first three rounds speaks for itself. It's too regretful to let him fail!"
Before Xu Chunbo's voice faded away, everyone nodded in unison to express their agreement.
"Given Second Sage Sun's influence and strength, he has the qualifications to sit on the sect leader's seat!"
No one felt that Sun Mo was too young or didn't have enough experience.
"As for Second Sage Fang, there are only a handful of female secondary saints in the entire Nine Provinces. Moreover, her performance isn't bad either. We should give her a chance!"
Xu Chunbo suggested, "Therefore, for the fifth round, all five secondary saints can participate at the same time. This way, the competition will be even more interesting!"
"I think that's fine. Everyone, do you have any objections?"
Wei Ziyou smiled. "If we aren't evenly matched, what's the point of fighting for the sect leader's seat?"
"Saint Wei is right!"
Everyone started to jeer.
Most people didn't have too many thoughts on who would be the sect leader. They just wanted to watch a few classic battles.
Even the people from Sun Mo's group were embarrassed to say anything now. Once they rejected this suggestion, wouldn't it mean that they were afraid?
Even Second Sage Zhou, who hated Sun Mo to the core, didn't dare to openly say that Sun Mo had been eliminated. He could only accept this result with an expression as though he had eaten a mouthful of feces.
"Everyone, I have something to say!"
Du Changgong said, "Teacher Sun was the one who helped me obtain my saint position. Therefore, I don't have the qualifications to compete with him on the same stage. As for the others, it's better for me, the new saint, not to bully everyone."
"What do you mean by this? Are we inferior to you? "
Second Sage Zhou mocked.
Du Changgong's expression was calm and he didn't reply. He felt that he was a saint and shouldn't argue.
This attitude made Second Sage Zhou's lungs almost explode from anger. He wanted nothing more than to kill Du Changgong.
"Everyone, please!"
Du Changgong clasped his hands.
He wanted to be the sect leader in order to fight for the rights of the poor. But now that he had become a saint, it was fine too. It was because the title of saint represented too many things.
Outside the crowd, An Zizai looked at everything coldly like he was watching a bunch of ants fighting. After that, his gaze landed on Du Changgong and he nodded in approval.
This was fine!
Let's wait for him to grow a few more years!
Seeing that the result couldn't be changed, Second Sage Zhou didn't care anymore. "This sect leader battle has been dragged on for many days. Moreover, everyone's condition is still alright. Why don't we continue?"
"What about Second Sage Sun and Second Sage Fang's opinions?"
Xu Chunbo also felt that it had been dragged on for too long.
"I'll listen to Sun Mo!"
Although Fang Hong pointed out his name, the word 'Sun Mo' exuded a sense of closeness, treating him as a junior.
This scene caused Second Sage Zhou's countenance to turn unsightly.
It was because the social circle that Sun Mo had built had already surpassed his.
"I'll accompany you anytime!"
Sun Mo also agreed.
"Since no one has any objections, let's start the fifth round!"
This time around, Xu Chunbo also appeared personally and brought out a saint statue. "This is a statue that the first-generation saint found in the Darkness Continent. It's said that the saint comprehended the self-taught skill after seeing it, and from there, he comprehended the great teacher halo."
Swoosh!
Everyone looked at the statue in astonishment, but they discovered that this thing looked like an ordinary small stone statue. There was nothing special about it.
However, when people looked at it, they would subconsciously maintain a sense of humility and have a feeling that they were as insignificant as ants.
"This round is called the Holy Statue Questioning the Heart. I don't know the conditions to clear it because it will tell you guys the answer. The time limit is seven days. If you guys don't show any reaction by then, it will be considered a draw!"
After Xu Chunbo said that, he got everyone to retreat, leaving the front half of the hall to Sun Mo and the other two.
Sun Mo focused his attention and looked at the holy statue. In an instant, his vision seemed to be swept into a vortex. He then saw the development history of the great teacher occupation in the Nine Provinces.
Its past, present, and future!
This scene seemed to have taken a very long time, but in reality, it only took a few minutes for Sun Mo to wake up.
He walked to the study table at the side, laid out the fine paper, picked up the weasel brush, and prepared for a while before starting to draw.
When Fang Hong and Secondary Saint Zhou saw this scene, they immediately felt immense pressure.
They still didn't understand what was going on. They didn't expect that Sun Mo had already started to answer the questions. Could the disparity between them really be so great?
"Secondary Saint Sun wants to draw?"
Everyone was filled with anticipation. After all, Sun Mo was the Art Saint and was famous throughout the Nine Provinces.
Sun Mo's technique was very skilled and had reached the point where he could draw whatever he wanted to draw. Moreover, his drawings were vivid and lifelike, and the concept was distant.
At this moment, many towering mountains and lofty ridges appeared vividly on the paper under his brush. In the lush and verdant forest, there were rarely any signs of humans, and it became a paradise for birds and wild beasts.
A mountain stream flowed down, and the waves surged. Everyone's vision involuntarily followed it forward. Behind a huge mountain, the stream water flowed down like the Milky Way, forming a pool.
Beside the pool, there were children playing in the water.
Not far away, there was a small village. There was a thatched school, and a teacher was currently teaching the students.
"It's Secondary Saint Sun!"
Although the figure he drew was very small, Sun Mo's drawing skills were too superb. Therefore, everyone could tell who he was!
"Is the theme dedication?"
Just as everyone was guessing, a loud boom rang out in the hall. Spirit qi trembled and then gathered at the tip of Sun Mo's brush. As the weasel brush brushed across the fine paper, it also left behind colorful spots.
Sssss!
To think that it was a famous painting?
"Sun Mo is really showing off. How are others going to win?"
Xu Chunbo sighed. Only when one's skills and emotions reached the pinnacle would one be able to create a famous painting. For the Holy Statue Questioning Heart test, not only had Sun Mo seen his true self at the fastest speed, but he had also given a perfect answer.
A short moment later, the famous painting was completed!
Boom!
A golden halo spread out.
Every great teacher who was affected by it immediately had the impulse of 'a silkworm's silk will run out until it dies, and a candle's tears will only dry when it turns to ashes'.
As a great teacher, teaching and educating others should be their life's creed!
"I've embarrassed myself!"
Sun Mo put down his brush and cupped his hands.
"It's really an eye-opener for me to be able to see Secondary Saint Su's famous painting today. I'm extremely fortunate!"
"I can boast about this for a hundred years!"
"It's really a feast for the eyes. This old man is fated to see such a grand event in this lifetime. I can die with no regrets!"
Everyone was full of praises. In the past, they had felt that Sun Mo was the number one great teacher in the Nine Provinces because there were no tigers in the mountains. But from the looks of it now, Sun Mo was brimming with talent.
Even a saint wouldn't be able to do anything, let alone a secondary saint.
