As long as it was a formation, it would be divided into many doors: Door of Rest, Door of Life, Door of Pain, Door of Stop, Door of View, Door of Death, Door of Alarm, and Door of Opening …
Some of these doors were alive, some were injured, some were dead, and some were trapped within, unable to leave.
If one were to take the wrong step, one would be doomed.
This was precisely the reason why most people dared not move recklessly if they were trapped within a formation. This was because there was a good chance that they would fall into a trap of death.
Even though the nine doors didn't conform to the Eight Trigrams Formation, it did conform to the rules of the Eight Trigrams.
Seeing President Han's actions, the others also turned their gazes to the young man not too far away.
Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless.
The people before him were renowned master teachers and skilled formation masters. No matter where they went, their words would carry enormous weight. Yet … why would they suddenly turn their backs on him after a short trip to the ancient domain?
It was not like he was omnipotent, alright?
There were many things that he couldn't do.
"Principal Zhang, your comprehension of formations and observation skills have far surpassed all of us. We'll believe whatever you say," Zhang Xuan said with a frown.
Seeing through Zhang Xuan's thoughts, President Han chuckled.
"Indeed, we trust you!"
"We don't know much about formations, so I'm afraid that you're the only one who can find the correct door!"
…
The crowd spoke up.
Seeing their attitude, Zhang Xuan knew that he couldn't turn them down, so he nodded and said, "I'll give it a try!"
After saying those words, he walked forward and activated his Eye of Insight.
The Library of Heaven's Path would only reveal the composition and structure of the doors. It was impossible for him to determine whether it was safe or not, so he might as well use his Eye of Insight instead.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Xuan looked around before squatting down in front of a door and lowering his head to look at the ground.
The crowd hurriedly followed behind him. There was a mark of fresh blood on the ground. It was hard to tell how long it had been, but it had already dried up a little.
"It seems like someone left it there intentionally …"
Wu Shi frowned.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Zhang Xuan was right. This mark wasn't left behind by a drop of blood. Rather, someone had intentionally left it there to leave a mark for the later generations.
Frowning, Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over once more.
The blood in front of Zhang Xuan's eyes seemed to have returned to how it was when it first appeared.
"The blood was left behind by Zhang Yinqiu, which means that they have entered this door!"
Zhang Xuan stood up.
"Then let's enter this one!"
President Han looked over.
"En!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Their main goal was to find Zhang Yinqiu and the others. Now that Zhang Yinqiu and the others had entered the gate, they would be able to save them.
Moreover, they had encountered so many dangers along the way, but the old dean and the others had been able to go smoothly. They probably already knew the secret of the ruins, so the place they went to was naturally very safe.
"Alright!"
Having made up their minds, the crowd did not hesitate for too long. Wu Shi took the lead and walked in.
Everyone followed closely behind.
As soon as Zhang Xuan entered, the scenery before him immediately changed. A small garden appeared before him, filled with flowers and a fragrant aroma.
Everyone was taken aback.
He thought there would be danger or some kind of powerful test, but he didn't expect it to be an ordinary garden.
"Look!"
One of the combat masters pointed, and at the very center of the garden stood a towering sculpture.
The sculpture was made of some kind of unique material, and it was dressed in a master teacher robe. Its appearance was extremely lifelike, as if it would come to life at any moment.
"It's Ancient Sage Qiu Wu!"
Upon seeing the appearance of the sculpture, Zhang Xuan's lips twitched.
This fellow was the one whom he had wanted to take in as his student.
"Ancient Sage Qiu Wu?"
Seeing that there was indeed a sculpture here, the eyes of Feng Xun and the others lit up. They hurriedly rushed forward and bowed respectfully.
The seal set up by the Ancient Sage had protected mankind from harm for tens of thousands of years, and it was worthy of their respect.
Wu Shi and the others also followed suit and bowed respectfully.
Seeing the reverence and reverence on everyone's faces, Zhang Xuan felt a little awkward.
It was just a moment ago that he had said that he wanted to take the other party in as his student … If these people were to learn of this, would they beat him to death?
Hong long!
Just as Zhang Xuan was at a loss as to what to do, the ground suddenly shook. The sculpture before him suddenly shook, and a brilliant gleam shone from its eyes.
It had come to life!
Seeing this sight, Wu Shi, Feng Xun, and the others leaped in fright, not daring to get up.
"It's just a sliver of will left on the sculpture. It isn't a true resurrection …"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before heaving a sigh of relief.
The situation before him was similar to when Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's will had appeared in the Unbounded World. It was the same aura and aura, but it was just a sliver of his will that had awakened.
His main body had already been dead for tens of thousands of years, so how could it possibly come back to life?
Most likely, the kneeling of the crowd had triggered some kind of mechanism that awakened the will sealed within the sculpture.
Since there was a sliver of will left on the sculpture, it seemed like they had walked in the right direction.
Hu!
The sculpture opened its eyes, and looking at the kneeling crowd, a calm voice sounded. "I am Qiu Wu, and I believe that you all should have heard of him by now!"
Just like before, the voice carried the vicissitudes of history, and it exerted a crushing pressure on one's soul.
"Junior pays respect to Ancient Sage Qiu Wu!"
Hearing the other party admit his identity, the crowd trembled in agitation.
That was a figure of the same generation as Kong Shi, one of the most renowned master teachers among the human Ancient Sages, the idol of countless.
Seeing the respectful attitude of the crowd, the sculpture nodded. "The fact that you are able to come to this door shows that your disposition and judgment are top-notch. Since that's the case, I won't say any words of encouragement. I'll be conducting a test on your intelligence, and those who are able to clear it will be accepted as my students to inherit my heritage. In order to prevent the matter from leaking out, I can only remain here. Is there anyone who is willing to give it a try? "
Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's will was exactly the same as when he was in the Unbounded World, accepting disciples and assessing them as he pleased. His actions were swift and decisive, without the slightest bit of hesitation.
"Intelligence test?"
"Elder Qiu Wu's heritage?"
The breathing of the crowd hastened.
Putting aside the fact that Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's cultivation was beyond Saint 9-dan, just his comprehension of spatial laws was something that even most Nine Stars master teachers could only dream of.
Those who could inherit his heritage would surely grow stronger and stronger, and it was only a matter of time before they reached the pinnacle of the Master Teacher Continent.
"Indeed. A cultivator's disposition and talent can ensure that he or she can learn from the predecessors and advance his or her cultivation. However, it is only through intelligence that one can create his or her own path, or even surpass his or her predecessors. If you agree to it, you can enter the door behind me. If you don't, you can leave the Qiu Wu Palace along the path you came from! "
The sculpture said.
"This …"
Instead of expressing their stance, the crowd glanced at one another with grim looks on their faces.
It would be best if they could obtain Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's heritage, but considering the difficulty of the ancient domain, it would be extremely difficult to clear his final test.
If they were unable to do so, they would be trapped within, unable to leave.
In other words, if they succeeded, they would live! If they failed, they would die!
There was no third option.
"Zhang Yinqiu and the others must have chosen to enter the door, that's why they haven't come out yet …"
Wu Shi and the others nodded in agreement.
If the old principal was still alive, he was likely to be in there as well. Otherwise, it was impossible for nothing to have happened.
As the principal of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, it went without saying that he possessed extraordinary aptitude. Not to mention, there were also the vice principals and elders of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy with him. Any one of them was a genius amongst geniuses. Yet, they had been in there for more than two years.
"Even if I am trapped within, I must enter! This opportunity is too precious to me! "Feng Xun said with determination in his eyes.
"Indeed. As long as we can see Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's heritage, it will be worth it!" Jiang Yuan and the others nodded in agreement.
The heritage of Ancient Sage Qiu Wu was a treasure that innumerable people dreamed of obtaining. Even if they were to fail the trial, it could only mean that their aptitude for intelligence was too low, and it would only be a matter of time before they died in the Master Teacher Continent.
"I choose to enter!"
"Me too!"
…
Wu Shi, Mu shi, Wu Tianqiong, and the others nodded in agreement.
As master teachers, how could they give up on the opportunity to obtain the heritage of an elder like Ancient Sage Qiu Wu?
It wasn't just a cultivation technique; it was a philosophy that they were determined to uphold.
"Wait, if it's a test, why would the Skyleaf King be in there as well? Is the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe acceptable as well? "
As the crowd made up their minds, Zhang Xuan frowned.
While the heritage of the Skyleaf King was indeed attractive to him, it wasn't much at all.
He had taken a look at the Unbounded Voyager, and while it was indeed powerful, it had many flaws as well. If he were to be trapped in there for the rest of his life, it would be a huge loss for him.
After all, his top priority was to become a Nine Stars master teacher before thirty. Otherwise, the only fate awaiting him would be death.
Of course, he didn't have much time to consider whether he should enter or not. If Old Principal Zhang Yinqiu was really trapped in there, how could the Skyleaf King possibly be in there as well?
Ancient Sage Qiu Wu had gone to great lengths to seal the spatial node, and he had even lost his life in battle against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. From this, it could be seen how much he hated the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe … With his sculpture guarding the spatial node, how could the Skyleaf King possibly enter and obtain his heritage?
"Could it be that the Skyleaf King is a fake?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
There were nine doors outside, and there was bound to be life and death. For the Skyleaf King to impart his cultivation technique as soon as he appeared, wasn't it a little too easy?
Oblivious to Zhang Xuan, the sculpture spoke once more. "Alright. Since you have made your decision, make your choice now!"
"Yes!"
Wu Shi and the others stood up, and with determination in their eyes, they began walking forward.
Of the remaining twenty-two people, other than Zhang Xuan and Lozosy, who were standing at the very back, the rest chose to enter.
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing that they were about to walk in, Zhang Xuan bellowed and stepped forward to stop them.
"What's wrong?"
Taken aback, Wu Shi and the others hurriedly gestured for Zhang Xuan to keep quiet.
Ancient Sage Qiu Wu was right in front of them, and it was rude of him to speak so loudly!
"It's nothing much, I just feel that something is amiss …"
Frowning, Zhang Xuan turned around, raised his finger, and tapped it lightly on the sculpture.
