A figure was reflected in the crystal, dressed in a long robe and a tall hat. Zhang Xuan felt as if the other party was a Sage, as if they were both acknowledged by the heavens and a master teacher.
There was only one person in history who had such a situation, and without a doubt, it was Kong Shi.
Hu!
As soon as this thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind, he suddenly felt a powerful suction force pulling his consciousness out of his body, and the next moment, he was already in the crystal.
Looking around, he realized that he was still in a folded space, just that it wasn't too large, only several dozen square meters in area. Furthermore, there was nothing in it at all, making it look extremely rough.
"Kong Shi, why are you …"
Zhang Xuan took a look at the young man before him and frowned in bewilderment.
The last time he went to the Saint Ascension Platform, he had seen Kong Shi's will, and the latter was young and dashing, reminiscent of a spring breeze. Why did this young man's face seem a little swollen, and his robe was a little dirty and disheveled? It seemed as if he had been beaten up?
Beaten up Kong Shi?
What a joke! Putting aside the fact that he was weaker than the other party, even if he could defeat the other party, no one would dare to make a move on him.
Most likely, he left his will behind right after becoming a Celestial Saint …
Zhang Xuan deduced.
He had just become a Celestial Saint, and he had undergone the Physical Body Ordeal. Even though he had recovered from his injuries, the bloodstains on his robe couldn't be washed off anytime soon. Just like the young man before him, he was in an even worse state.
Most likely, Kong Shi was in the same state as well. Even though it was just a sliver of his will, it didn't seem as clean and tidy as before.
He wanted to let his juniors know the cruelty of becoming a Celestial Saint.
"I don't have much time here …"
Kong shi waved his hand nonchalantly, not bothering to explain himself at all.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are afflicted with the Innate Fetal Poison as well, right?" Kong Shi asked with a sharp glint in his eyes.
"That's right!"
Hearing the other party mention this matter, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in agitation. He hurriedly turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "How can I resolve it? I beseech Kong Shi to show me some mercy and point me in the right direction … "
Previously, he had wanted to ask the other party about this matter, but the other party had simply said 'I am not alone' before vanishing without a trace '. Now that he had brought it up himself, he should be able to find a solution.
As long as he could resolve this matter, it would be equivalent to having one less worry. He would no longer have to worry for no reason.
"We'll talk about this later …"
Shaking his head, Kong Shi turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "The fact that you were able to become a Celestial Saint means that you and I have encountered the same fortuitous encounters. Let me give you a piece of advice. If you want to go further, if you want to escape fate, you need to walk your own path. Blindly inheriting the wisdom of your predecessors, although it can make your progress faster, it will also shackle your direction and motivation! "
"Walk my own path?"
Zhang Xuan was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Zhang Xuan to say such a baffling thing instead of talking about the Innate Fetal Poison.
"That's right," Kong Shi nodded and continued, "I have the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, you should have heard of it, right?"
Zhang Xuan replied.
It was said that the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn was an unparalleled artifact that belonged to Kong Shi. Back then, he had relied on it to suppress the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. However, along with Kong Shi, the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn had disappeared without a trace, never to be found again.
"The Great Codex of Spring and Autumn concerns the fate of mankind. Since you share the same fate as me, there's a good chance that you will be able to activate it. You mustn't allow it to fall into the hands of others. Also, you must be wary of … "
His tone was anxious, as if there was something urgent that he had to do. Kong shi slowly raised his palm, but before he could finish his words, an anxious voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Xuan's ears, "Zhang Xuan, are you alright?"
Zhang Xuan's body jolted as his consciousness returned to his physical body. Opening his eyes, he saw Lozosy standing before him with a worried look in her eyes.
She must have noticed that his consciousness had left his body and was afraid that something might happen to him, so she rushed over.
"I'm fine …"
Grabbing the young lady's hand, Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
He already knew that the young lady had protected him from the Skyleaf King. Even though her identity was still a mystery, no matter how difficult it was, he wouldn't give up.
"It's good that you're fine …" Heaving a sigh of relief, the young lady chuckled softly.
"Give me a moment, I'll take a look at the crystal first."
Turning his gaze away from the young lady, Zhang Xuan turned his gaze back to the crystal once more, and a moment later, a look of helplessness surfaced in his eyes.
Kong Shi's will had already vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye. It felt as if he had been dreaming, and there was no way he could recover from it.
"Kong Shi has been worshipped by so many master teachers, so I thought that he would be more dependable in his actions … But who would have thought that he would be as unreliable as his clone?"
Zhang Xuan scratched his head helplessly.
He had only wanted to ask about the Innate Fetal Poison, but after meeting the other party's will twice, the other party had spouted a lot of nonsense, but he had not brought up anything useful at all … Just the thought of it left him stifled.
He even mentioned something about the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn … I don't even know where that thing is, so what am I supposed to guard against?
Look at Ancient Sage Qiu Wu! Even though he was dealt a heavy blow, he still managed to finish his words and stay for a very long time …
Wasn't the World's Teacher a little too weak?
"When I left my will behind, Kong Shi had only just become a Celestial Saint not too long ago, so his cultivation was nowhere near Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's. Yet, he was still able to stay for such a short period of time … My god!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head with an awful complexion.
It wasn't easy for him to meet with Kong Shi once more so that he could ask him about the Innate Fetal Poison. Yet, due to Kong Shi's short period of time, he had missed the opportunity once more …
"Forget it …"
Back then, Kong Shi was only a Saint 1-dan cultivator. It was already incredible that his will had been able to survive for several dozen millenniums and speak to him.
He couldn't ask for too much.
"It seems like I can only rely on myself to deal with the Innate Fetal Poison …"
Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella in distress.
He had thought that he would be able to find a solution to the Innate Fetal Poison as long as he could find Kong Shi, but from the looks of it … it seemed like he had been thinking too much!
He could only rely on himself now.
"I should assimilate this thing first!"
Putting aside the matter, Zhang Xuan turned his attention back to the crystal.
At this moment, the crystal had already fused perfectly with the map. It was reminiscent of a globe, and its surface was filled with all kinds of terrains, just like what he had seen before.
Zhang Xuan delved his consciousness into the crystal, and it felt as if he would gain complete control over the entire Qiu Wu Palace as long as he could assimilate it, granting him immense power.
"Assimilate it!"
The assimilation method surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind. Placing his hand on the crystal, he began circulating his zhenqi.
Geji! Geji!
In an instant, Zhang Xuan felt his will spreading across the entire Qiu Wu Palace.
The Unbounded World, the Black Sandstorm of Oblivion, the floating celestial palace …
All of the places that he had been to previously appeared before his eyes, and he could see them more clearly than before.
In fact, with just a single thought, he could easily alter the formation of the entire palace, making it more stable or more ferocious.
"As expected, assimilating this thing will allow me to gain complete control over the entire Qiu Wu Palace …"
Zhang Xuan nodded in realization.
By fusing the crystal with the map, he would gain complete control over the folded space, and he would be able to take it away with a single thought.
In other words, as long as he took the crystal away, he would be able to enter the Qiu Wu Palace whenever he wanted.
Upon realizing this, Zhang Xuan's eyes glowed in excitement, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Even though Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's heritage was gone, if he could take this place away with him and study it carefully, he would be able to raise his comprehension of space by leaps and bounds!
This would be of great help in raising his fighting prowess in the future.
Infusing his zhenqi into the crystal, Zhang Xuan carefully tempered every inch of it.
Some time later, Zhang Xuan abruptly opened his eyes.
Hu!
With a light flick of his wrist, he stowed the crystal into his storage ring.
He had successfully assimilated the core of the Qiu Wu Palace.
Huala!
As soon as he stowed the crystal away, he felt his aura rapidly weakening. The augmentation from the Saint Ascension Platform vanished, and he reverted back to his Saint 1-dan pinnacle cultivation.
Kacha!
Turning around, Zhang Xuan saw that the Saint Ascension Platform had been completely drained of its energy, and it had cracked right down the middle.
"Even if I were to toss this thing out, no one would believe that Kong Shi and I are both on it. Becoming a Celestial Saint …"
Seeing that the sacred object before him was no different from an ordinary stone pedestal, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
The Saint Ascension Platform had already completed its mission. There was no longer any value in its existence.
Tossing aside his thoughts, Zhang Xuan turned his gaze to the crowd and saw that Wu Shi was still in the midst of forging the Grand Intermittence Pill. Even though there were many mistakes in his forging technique, with his current Half-Leaving Aperture realm cultivation, it was not too difficult for him to successfully forge the Grand Intermittence Pill.
President Han and the others were consolidating their cultivation and recovering from the battle.
"I saw Kong Shi just now …"
Knowing that there was no need for his help, Zhang Xuan turned his attention to the young lady not too far away.
Lozosy nodded with a smile. "This is the place where he became a Celestial Saint, so it's only natural for him to leave his will behind!"
"Yes, he told me not to blindly inherit the wisdom of my predecessors, but to walk my own path …"
Thinking about it now, Zhang Xuan realized that Zhang Xuan was right.
Ever since he started cultivating, he had been relying on the Library of Heaven's Path to compile the Heaven's Path Divine Art. He had not created any new Heaven's Path Divine Art, so he had been blindly inheriting the wisdom of his predecessors.
"I have to walk my own path in cultivation. Kong Shi is right!"
Lozosy nodded in agreement.
"It seems like I won't be able to cultivate the same way as before …"
As the World's Teacher, the founder of the Master Teacher Pavilion, the fact that Kong Shi was able to say such words meant that he must have noticed something amiss.
"I know that it will be difficult for me to do so, but it's indeed impossible for me to become a true expert without something of my own!" Lozosy said with a smile. "There's no need to rush. Your current rate of cultivation is already very fast. As long as you continue to cultivate, I'm sure you'll be able to find something of your own!"
"Indeed!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
Successfully becoming a Celestial Saint had solved one of his greatest problems, and it had boosted his strength and confidence by leaps and bounds.
No matter how difficult the path ahead would be, he was confident that he would be able to reach the very end and stand at the very peak of the Master Teacher Continent!
"Ruoxi, don't worry. No matter how difficult it is, I'll be by your side!"
Zhang Xuan said with determination in his eyes as he grabbed Luo Ruoxi's hand.
PS: Final chapter of this volume! The eighth volume, [Kong Shi's Advice], came to an end. This volume was the most important turning point in the book, and there were many hidden clues hidden within it that would affect the development of the entire book. Of course, it was impossible to tell at the moment. However, if one were to read through it once more after finishing the book, one would realize that these hidden clues were actually very deep. Sometimes, it would just be a small action. Hahaha!
The next volume was going to be the ninth volume, [Your Teacher Will Make Decisions for You].
In this volume, Zhang Xuan would come into contact with the strongest powers on the Master Teacher Continent, and he would witness the true strength of a Sage Clan. He would also gradually learn of Lozosy's true identity, and his students would also be able to find their own paths.
According to the outline, there were a total of thirteen volumes in the Master Teacher Continent, and this was the fifth last volume.
Please look forward to it!
Lastly, I implore my fans on my official account to search for 'Sweeping the World' on WeChat and follow me. When I'm free, I'll post the names of the next few volumes there. This will serve as a spoiler to the story, and it will also prove that Laoya really did have the outline and wasn't just writing it up randomly …
Also, are there any monthly passes?
