Previously, he had said that the crux to becoming a Celestial Saint was to become a Celestial Master Teacher!
Other than Kong Shi, there was no one else on the Master Teacher Continent who had succeeded in becoming a Celestial Master Teacher... Zhang Xuan had thought that it would be impossible for them to escape from this place, but upon seeing the aura that the other party was emanating, he was completely dumbfounded.
Zhang Shi... was actually a Celestial Master Teacher?
He wasn't the only one. Other than Lozosy, the others were also dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost.
They knew that Zhang Shi possessed unparalleled talent, but never in their dreams could they have imagined that he would actually be a Celestial Master Teacher!
It was no wonder why even Ancient Sage Qiu Wu had to flee in shame!
This identity of his was in no way inferior to that of Kong Shi!
"Am I... qualified to become a Celestial Saint?"
Zhang Xuan retracted his aura and turned to Vice Principal Ji Yan.
"Of course!"
Vice Principal Ji Yan's lips quivered, but he didn't dare to refute Zhang Xuan's words.
If even a Celestial Master Teacher couldn't become a Celestial Saint, it would be impossible for anyone else to do so.
Seeing that everyone trusted in his abilities, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. "Let's hurry up then. Otherwise, if something were to happen to the old principal, it would be too late for regrets."
Since no one believed that he could become a Celestial Saint, it was unlikely that he would be able to save the old principal. Thus, the only thing he could do now was to reveal his identity and make the other party listen to him.
Besides, once he became a Celestial Saint, his identity as a Celestial Master Teacher would be exposed. Rather than learning of it later, he might as well do it now.
From the looks of it, it seemed like it was working out.
"Let's hurry up then! Otherwise, if the old principal's soul were to dissipate, none of us would be able to absolve ourselves from the blame! "Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Alright!"
The crowd quickly rushed up to the top of the Saint Ascension Platform.
The Saint Ascension Platform was currently shrouded in sacred light, so the Skyleaf King had no reason to fear the old principal. Thus, they had to hurry up.
Hong long!
As soon as they arrived at the top of the Saint Ascension Platform, they saw the Skyleaf King's Primordial Spirit grabbing the old principal's soul.
"Don't come over! I am already a dead man, so there's no need for you to sacrifice yourself for a dead man like me!"
Upon seeing the crowd, the old principal shouted anxiously.
Even though Zhang Xuan had never practiced soul arts before, his soul had been nourished by the sacred light for a very long time, and it was already on the verge of becoming corporeal. Even if the sculpture were to shatter, it wouldn't dissipate within a short period of time.
"Shut up!"
With a tap of his finger, the old principal's voice abruptly fell silent. With a cold glint in his eyes, the Skyleaf King turned to the crowd and said, "I thought that master teachers were cowards who dared not come here."
"Release Principal Zhang! Isn't it beneath the dignity of the Skyleaf King, a Leaving Aperture realm expert, to deal with a mere remnant soul?"
Seeing that Zhang Yinqiu was in the other party's hands, Tan Qing clenched his jaws tightly.
"Identity? If it wasn't for my identity, do you think I would have kept this guy alive until now? "
The Skyleaf King said savagely.
Trapped within the stone statue, Zhang Yinqiu was unable to escape or move.
When there was no saint light here, Zhang Xuan could have easily killed the other party. However, he chose not to do so. Firstly, he was wary of his identity, and secondly, just like what Vice Principals Ji Yan and the others had guessed, if all of the master teachers were to die here, he would be the only one left here.
In any case, this fellow was not a threat, and living would only be more painful.
"What do I have to do for you to release the old principal?"
Seeing that the Skyleaf King was clearly intending to negotiate, Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Simple. Hand over the fellow who beat me and the map, and I'll let him go. Otherwise, I'll have to watch as his soul dissipates before your eyes!"
The Skyleaf King spat through gritted teeth upon hearing the name of the fellow who beat him up.
This was the first time he had been assaulted by someone, and more importantly, his head had been blasted apart, crippling his physical body. Just the thought of it left him on the verge of exploding.
"The person who beat you up?"
Zhang Xuan blinked.
He had thought that the other party would hate him to the core, but who could have known that the other party would be so intent on killing his clone?
It was no wonder that his clone would be able to destroy the other party with a single punch. Naturally, a boss of his caliber would only target the one who bore the greatest enmity.
"Indeed. Hand him and the map over, and I'll let Zhang Yinqiu go!"
The Skyleaf King nodded.
"Very well, I can give them to you. However, you have to swear an oath to the Spirit God that not only will you not kill the old principal, you won't make a move on us in the near future!" Zhang Xuan said. "Otherwise, if you kill the old principal right after we save him, our deal will be for naught!"
With the Seven-colored Earth Jade Essence, it wouldn't take long for him to achieve a breakthrough. As long as the other party didn't make a move on him in the near future, he would be able to become a Celestial Saint and kill him.
"You know of the Spirit God?"
The Skyleaf King was taken aback.
Swearing an oath to the Spirit God was something that the Spirit Tribe feared the most. Once it was sworn, they would never dare to go against it. Otherwise, their souls would be snatched away by the Spirit God, and there would be no chance of resurrection.
"Why? You don't dare? If you don't agree to it, we can just die together. You don't have the map either, so we'll fight to the death! In any case, none of us will be able to leave this place, so it doesn't matter if we die here! "
Seeing the Skyleaf King's hesitation, Zhang Xuan said.
"Alright, I'll agree to it!"
A glint flashed across the Skyleaf King's eyes as he nodded.
"Let's begin then!"
With a flick of his wrist, an Otherworldly Demonic Tribe altar appeared before Zhang Xuan's eyes. It was the one he had obtained from the Jadeleaf King.
"It seems like you are quite well-prepared. Very well, I'll start paying respects to the Spirit God now!"
Seeing that the other party knew of the Spirit God and even had an altar, the Skyleaf King knew that he wouldn't be able to fool the other party.
Hong long!
Innumerable artifacts appeared on the altar, and as the Skyleaf King spoke, they immediately burst into flames.
Geji! Geji!
In an instant, the sky above them turned pitch-black, as if a massive door had appeared.
Everyone's body stiffened.
The aura emanating from the door was simply too powerful. Given their cultivation, it felt as if they would be reduced to dust with ease.
Zhang Xuan's heart trembled in astonishment as well.
Even though he had seen the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe paying respects to the Spirit God Tribe, he had only looked into the matter regarding the identity of a Celestial Master Teacher.
Hu!
The door slowly opened, and a silhouette appeared before them.
Even though it was only a silhouette, it felt as if the other party's soul would be crushed. If the other party were to descend, not only would they be unable to withstand the pressure, the entire Master Teacher Continent would crumble apart.
"This silhouette … Where have I seen it before?"
Even though the silhouette in the sky was shrouded in darkness, Zhang Xuan's Eye of Insight was still able to discern where he had seen it before.
However, before Zhang Xuan could think too deeply into the matter, the Skyleaf King, who was standing not too far away, gazed at the silhouette before him with a grave look on his face.
"I, the Skyleaf King, swear to the Spirit God that as long as I obtain the person who harmed me and the map, I will release Zhang Yinqiu immediately. For the time being, I will not harm them in the slightest. If I go back on my word, may my soul dissipate, and may the Spirit God claim my life …"
Huala!
Right after those words were spoken, a ray of light shot out from the door and entered his mind.
It seemed like the Spirit God had agreed to his request.
Hu!
After doing all that, the door slowly dissipated. With a pale face, the Skyleaf King turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "How is it? I have already sworn the oath. Do you believe me now?"
"Un."
Zhang Xuan nodded. Just as he was about to take out his clone and the map, Wu Shi's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"The Skyleaf King agreed too quickly, even willing to swear an oath to the Spirit God … Could this be a trap?"
"There must be a trap …"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Given the Skyleaf King's strength, he should have been in an advantageous position. Yet, he still agreed to the terms without any hesitation.
"Then …"
Wu Shi frowned.
"The old principal is in his hands, so there's nothing we can do about it. Even if he has a trap, we still have our trump cards. As long as we can stall for some time, I will be able to successfully become a Celestial Saint and kill him … "
Zhang Xuan sent a telepathic message to the Skyleaf King.
At the moment, they were in a disadvantageous position. It was already a blessing that the Skyleaf King had agreed to their terms.
"This …" Wu Shi was speechless.
The Skyleaf King was right. This was the only path they could take at the moment.
If a Leaving Aperture realm expert were to make a move, even if they worked together, they would still be no match for him.
"Where is that fellow? Where is the map? "
The Skyleaf King asked.
"It's here …"
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and his clone appeared before him.
This fellow was the one who had caused this trouble, so naturally, he would take responsibility for it.
In any case, his clone was forged using the Nine Hearts Lotus, so he wouldn't die even if he was reduced to a lump of meat. Even if the Skyleaf King managed to capture him, it would be impossible for him to kill him.
At this moment, the clone's face had already returned to its original state. In order to prevent the crowd from being too shocked, he had even altered his appearance in the Anthive Nest, disguising himself as Sun Qiang.
He hadn't met many people before, so he was the most familiar with disguising himself as Sun Qiang.
"He is the fellow who made a move on me earlier?"
The Skyleaf King frowned upon seeing a plump man whom he did not recognize.
"Indeed, he is skilled in disguise. That Scarletleaf King is also him …" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Very well …"
With rage and killing intent in his eyes, the Skyleaf King nodded. With a wave of his hand, his clone was wrapped in a powerful force before flying over.
"Where is the map?"
After grabbing his clone, the Skyleaf King did not rush to make a move. Instead, he turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "Where is the map?"
"It's here!"
Zhang Xuan stretched out his hand, and an ancient goatskin scroll appeared in his palm. It floated slowly in the air, emanating an ancient aura.
The goatskin scroll was not of much use to him. All it did was form a rainbow bridge to allow him to pass through the celestial palace. If the other party wanted it, he would not mind giving it to him.
"Give it to me!"
A fiery glint flashed across the Skyleaf King's eyes as he hurriedly stretched out his hand.
"Alright!"
With a flick of his finger, the map slowly flew over to the other party.
"Wuuuuuu …"
Seeing that the map was going to be given to the other party, the sealed Zhang Yinqiu's soul panicked. He wanted to say something, but no matter what, he was unable to utter a single word.
"This is for you!"
The Skyleaf King pushed his palm forward, and Zhang Yinqiu flew over to the crowd.
Zhang Xuan and the others quickly caught the old principal's soul, and Wu Shi stepped forward to undo the seal on him.
"The map concerns the entire ancient domain! We mustn't give it to him!"
As soon as the seal was undone, Old Principal Zhang Yinqiu shouted anxiously.
"Hahaha, it's too late!"
The Skyleaf King held the map tightly in his hand, and his excited voice caused the entire Saint Ascension Hall to tremble.
