Hula!
A powerful burst of sword qi shot straight toward the sculpture, carrying with it the might to slice through the air. It felt as if even a Spirit pinnacle artifact would shatter upon contact with it.
Upon seeing this sight, Wu Shi and the others nearly fainted on the spot.
That was Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's sculpture, and his consciousness was even within it …
To make a move on him without any hesitation, was he insane?
With a swift movement, Wu Shi appeared before Zhang Xuan, and with a light flick of his finger, he deflected the sword qi.
"Zhang Shi, what are you doing?"
"Nothing much. I just think that there's something wrong with that fellow, so I want to give it a try!"
Not expecting the other party to be so anxious as to block his sword qi, Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Give it a try?"
The crowd nearly collapsed to the ground.
Who was that?
Ancient Sage Qiu Wu!
He was a figure on par with Kong Shi! Was there a need for you to give it a try?
"Zhang Shi, he's an Ancient Sage … Making a move on him is an act of disrespect!"
President Han hurriedly sent a telepathic message over.
Even between a teacher and a student, a student was not allowed to make a move on their teacher, not to mention, Ancient Sage Qiu Wu was such a senior.
Even if one were to go berserk, one would have to look at the situation first. If he were to make a move on Ancient Sage Qiu Wu, the entire Master Teacher Continent would view him as their enemy.
"This …"
Seeing how anxious the crowd was, seemingly wanting to tie him up, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly.
In truth, they were right. He had been too careless. No matter what, the young man before him was one of the strongest Sages of the ancient era, a person who had once stood before Kong shi.
Even if the other party was a fake, it was still too reckless of him to test the other party.
However, if he didn't use his battle technique and the other party didn't retaliate, he wouldn't be able to compile a book on the other party, thus making it impossible for him to determine the other party's identity.
Just as Zhang Xuan was at a loss as to how he should explain his doubts, the sculpture suddenly turned to look at him.
Previously, when Zhang Xuan was standing at the entrance of the residence, he didn't notice the other party. Now that he saw the other party's appearance, his eyelids twitched. "It's you?"
"You recognize me?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"In the Unbounded Realm, you found a flaw in my Unbounded Voyager and said those words. It's very difficult for me to remember!"
The sculpture harrumphed.
"You remember what happened in the Unbounded Realm?"
Frowning, Zhang Xuan widened his eyes.
Oh no, I've made a mistake.
The fact that Ancient Sage Qiu Wu was able to speak of the Unbounded World could only mean that he was the consciousness from before. In other words, he was the real Ancient Sage Qiu Wu!
Otherwise, there was no way he would have said the Unbounded Voyager.
Could it be that I guessed wrong?
"The will that was left behind in the Unbounded Realm doesn't know what happened to me, but I know what he experienced. He clearly could have stayed in the outside world for two days, but because of what you said, his Dao-heart became unstable, and he collapsed on the spot. Are the juniors these days all so awesome?"
The stone statue continued.
There was only a single reason for the will to remain in the Unbounded World, and that was to find a successor who was able to pass the trial so that he could take them in as his student and impart the Unbounded Voyager to them. In the end, he did manage to find the successor, but not only did he fail to impart the cultivation technique to them, he even ended up having the other party find so many flaws in it and look at it with disdain.
What was even more outrageous was that Zhang Xuan wanted to take him in as his disciple … It was already a miracle that he did not faint on the spot.
"His Dao Heart collapsed?"
"Zhang Shi … has met Ancient Sage Gu Sages before?"
Hearing their conversation, the crowd blinked in bewilderment. They glanced at one another in bewilderment.
Just what in the world did Zhang Shi say to cause the Ancient Sage who had once followed behind Kong Shi to waver in his Dao-heart? Even his will had collapsed?
"I was just speaking casually. Allow me to apologize to you, elder!"
With a reddened face, Zhang Xuan quickly clasped his fist.
He had only spoken casually back then. Even if he were to take the other party in as his student, there was no way he could alter the cultivation technique.
"There's no need for that. Everything that you said is correct. The Unbounded Voyager might be a profound movement technique, but it isn't perfect either. Back then, Kong Shi's words were just as you said …"
The stone statue replied calmly.
Even though the young man before him did not possess a high cultivation, he possessed a vast amount of knowledge and experience. To be able to point out so many flaws in the Unbounded Voyager so easily, he was probably the second person in the world other than Kong shi to have done so.
"I won't be able to stay awake for too long. If you wish to obtain my heritage, you'll have to enter. Even though your comprehension of movement techniques has reached an extremely high level, I am still unique in the field of spatial manipulation. It won't be easy for you to master it. "
Deep confidence shone in the stone statue's eyes.
Back then, even Kong Shi's comprehension of spatial manipulation was far beneath his. It could be said that Kong Shi was the number one expert in the world.
He had absolute confidence in this field.
The fact that the young man before him was able to see through the flaws in the Unbounded Voyager showed that he was an expert in movement techniques. However, it was unlikely that he would be able to do so easily in the field of spatial manipulation.
No one could be perfect, understand everything, and be able to do everything.
After all, there was only a single Kong Shi.
"Yes … There's one thing that I'm confused about, and I hope that elder can enlighten me on it."
Nodding, Zhang Xuan turned to Zhang Xuan.
"Speak!"
"I have an elder who entered the Unbounded Voyager two years ago, and he was accompanied by a powerful Otherworldly Demon. Both of them were trapped here, unable to leave. Could it be that they failed the trial?"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before replying. "Two years ago, there was indeed an Otherworldly Demon who entered the Unbounded Voyager.
"Two years ago, there were indeed people who entered the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, but they didn't choose this door."
The stone statue said.
"They didn't choose?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
That wasn't right. There were bloodstains left behind by the old principal outside the door, so they should have entered the Unbounded Voyager.
"That's right. They went around the nine doors and are currently trapped in the Saint Ascension Hall …"
The stone statue said.
"Saint Ascension Hall?" Zhang Xuan and Lozosy glanced at one another, and they could see the perplexity in the other's eyes.
The Saint Ascension Platform wasn't too far away, and there was a Saint Ascension Hall in the vicinity … Could there be some sort of connection between the two?
"Un."
The sculpture nodded. "That's a legacy that Kong shi left behind for his descendants. Of course, you'll have to clear my trial first if you wish to head there. Otherwise, you'll be trapped in there forever, unable to leave!"
"This …" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Since they had entered the Saint Ascension Hall, why would they intentionally leave bloodstains before the door?
The more he thought about it, the more perplexed he felt.
"Alright, my trial isn't that easy. They have already made up their minds. What about the two of you?"
The stone statue asked. Instead, he turned to Zhang Xuan and Lozosy.
Since the others had already made their decision, the two of them were the only ones who had yet to make a decision.
"I … wish to take the trial!"
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before replying.
Since the other party was Ancient Sage Qiu Wu, he would be more than happy to inherit the other party's heritage.
Take the Unbounded Voyager for example. Even though it had many flaws, as long as he could find a suitable movement technique to fuse with it, it would become a Heaven's Path Divine Art. With that, he would be able to raise his fighting prowess by leaps and bounds. Even if he had only cultivated the 1-dan of the Unbounded Voyager, he would still be able to escape from the Skyleaf King easily.
At the very least, he wouldn't be completely helpless like before.
"I won't be entering …" Lozosy shook her head.
"You aren't going?" Not expecting Luo Ruoxin to make such a decision, Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"Un. I have my own heritage, and while Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's heritage is good, it isn't compatible with me. Rather than wasting my time, I might as well leave it behind!" Lozosy replied with a light smile.
"This …" Zhang Xuan nodded.
She was right. Those with unique constitutions or bloodlines could only cultivate certain cultivation techniques. Take Zhao Ya and Yuan Tao for example. If they cultivated other cultivation techniques, they might not be able to improve at all. Instead, it might even have the opposite effect.
"You should go ahead. Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's heritage is extremely valuable. If you can learn it, it will surely be of great help to you!" Lozosy said.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded. "I will go in to take a look … Don't worry, I will surely clear the trial!"
Even though he had no idea what the other party was testing him on, he was confident that he would be able to clear it.
Lozosy nodded.
"Let's go!"
Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan beckoned to Wu Shi and the others before walking toward the door behind the stone statue.
Hu!
In the blink of an eye, the door disappeared from sight.
The next moment, a courtyard appeared before them, and a row of stone tablets appeared before them.
There were more than twenty of them, and they formed a circle around the group. All kinds of words were written on them.
Knowing that this was a trial, Wu Shi, Feng Xun, and the others quickly turned their gazes over.
With just a single glance, bizarre expressions appeared on their faces. It wasn't that they couldn't learn it, but … they couldn't understand it at all.
The words written on the stone tablets consisted of their language, the Ancient Beast Language, and even the language of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe … There were dozens of different languages mixed together, making it difficult for them to understand them.
"Lin, Qing, Hua, Sheng, Po, Ming, Xiao … This … How do I understand it?"
Wu Shi, who was fortunate enough to recognize a few of the languages, translated the words, and upon doing so, he was dumbfounded.
Even if he could understand the meaning of the words, he was still unable to make sense of what was going on.
Turning his head to look at the others, he saw that Feng Xun, Wu Tianqiong, and the others were completely bewildered as well.
He turned to look at Zhang Shi, only to see that the latter was also bewildered by the situation.
He had thought that this was a cultivation technique that could test one's comprehension ability, but … if he couldn't even understand it, how was he supposed to clear the trial?
He had guessed that it would be difficult to clear Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's trial, but he didn't think that it would be so bizarre.
"Zhang Shi, do you see anything?"
After studying it for a while longer, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but walk up to Zhang Xuan.
If there was anyone among them who could comprehend it, it would be the young man before him.
"I don't think so …" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
To be honest, he was completely bewildered by the situation as well.
"Didn't Ancient Sage Qiu Wu say that you have a deep understanding of his cultivation technique? Recalling the conversation between Ancient Sage Qiu Wu and the young man before him, Wu Shi couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Ancient Sage Qiu Wu say that you have a deep understanding of his cultivation technique?
This … I really have no idea what's going on! "With a bitter smile, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Feng Xun also walked up to Zhang Xuan and asked, "It's already impressive that you are able to comprehend his cultivation technique … Right, Zhang Shi, what did you say to Ancient Sage Qiu Wu for him to remember you?"
The others also turned their gazes over.
To be honest, they were all perplexed by the situation.
What in the world could cause the will of an Ancient Sage who had lived for several dozen millenniums to lose his composure?
Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Zhang Xuan scratched his head awkwardly and said, "If I were to say that I want to take Ancient Sage Qiu Wu in as my disciple … would you believe me?"
