All along, Zhang Xuan had been referring to himself as' Yang Xuan's' disciple. He thought that it was just a fabricated name, but who could have thought that it would actually be true!
To think that there would really be a master teacher named Yang Xuan in the Mingshi Tang headquarters! Furthermore, he was one of the three grand elders!
To think that he would end up in such a predicament just by fabricating a name!
It was no wonder why Luo Chengxin panicked upon hearing the identity of 'Yang Xuan' when he was about to teach him a lesson back then! It wasn't that he was good at disguising himself, but that such a person really did exist. That was why he was so fearful!
Along the way, as long as he mentioned his teacher, the Mingshi Tang headquarters would take the initiative to cover up the matter. Most likely, it was precisely because the matter involved a grand elder that the headquarters decided not to pursue the matter any further.
"I see …"
All along, Zhang Xuan had been wondering if he had been too good at disguising himself that no one dared to provoke him for his Heaven's Path Divine Art. So … there really was such a person as Yang Xuan!
He had secretly borrowed the other party's name to intimidate others, and that was why he had been able to walk so smoothly all this while!
"How could there be such a coincidence?"
Zhang Xuan was still in disbelief.
Back then, he had casually made up the name 'Yang Xuan'. How could there really be such a coincidence?
"The Library of Heaven's Path, it must be it …"
Zhang Xuan quickly immersed his consciousness into his mind.
Once again, he returned to the entrance of the library. There were five large words at the top. They carried an ancient aura, as if they had come from another world. They gave off an indescribable feeling of vicissitudes.
"The creations of the heavens … Everything conforms to nature. What I said back then has come true. Everything is under the control of the heavens, and everything follows its own rules …"
Zhang Xuan's muscles tensed up.
He didn't believe that 'Yang Xuan' had appeared out of thin air. Most likely, when he thought of disguising himself, the library had already subconsciously infused his mind with this name, causing him to blurt out this name.
In other words … the will of the heavens was in play!
The will of the heavens couldn't be defied, and the will of the heavens couldn't be changed!
"Even though I control the Library of Heaven's Path, what if the heavens want to erase me? Will it be the same? "
Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Zhang Shi? Zhang Shi? What happened to you? "
Just as Zhang Xuan's thoughts were running wild, a voice suddenly sounded by his ear. Raising his head, he saw Yun Lianhai looking at him worriedly.
"Oh, I'm fine!"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan regained his smile, completely concealing the shock and worry in his heart.
When one's state of mind reached his level, if he really wanted to conceal the fluctuations in his heart, no one would be able to tell.
The Library of Heaven's Path was his biggest secret, and he couldn't let anyone know about it.
"I was just shocked to hear that Feng Ziyi had such a powerful background, and I still haven't recovered from the shock yet …"
He scratched his head awkwardly.
"Yes, this is the first time I've heard of it. To be honest, I was shocked beyond words. The Grand Supreme Elders of the Mingshi Tang Headquarters are each more mysterious than the other. Even the people in the headquarters have not seen them before. This person actually received guidance and was accepted as a personal disciple. This kind of opportunity is indeed not available to everyone! "
Yun Lianhai nodded. All of a sudden, he turned to Zhang Shi and asked, "Speaking of which, Zhang Shi, for you to possess such talent and strength at such a young age, you must have a teacher to guide you, right? May I know who your teacher is? "
Even though the other party wasn't a member of the Zhang family, his talent and cultivation were on par with the geniuses of the Zhang family. Most likely, he had a teacher as well.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan's lips twitched.
Had it been in the past, he would have definitely said that his teacher was Yang Xuan. However, he had just finished talking about Feng Ziyi. If he were to ask the other party if that fellow was his senior … wouldn't he be unable to answer him?
"It's fine if it's inconvenient for you to answer. There are some reclusive experts who aren't willing to let their students talk about them so as to prevent them from intimidating others. This is detrimental to their growth!"
Yun Lianhai waved his hands casually.
He was just asking casually, not intending to get to the bottom of the matter.
After all, everyone had their own secrets. Their relationship hadn't reached that level yet, so it was only natural for them to be unwilling to speak of it.
"Thank you!"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan clasped his fist.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony …"
Yun Lianhai chuckled before falling silent.
The group chatted for a while longer before returning to their own cultivation.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Zhang Xuan closed his eyes and began consolidating his newfound strength.
To him, it was unrealistic to think about such matters at the moment. The best solution for him was to raise his cultivation as quickly as possible.
Everything was fake, and strength was the only thing that mattered.
Along the way, the group continued flying.
Along the way, Yun Lianhai secretly asked Yuan Xiao about it. However, he had been in the Sanctum of Sages this year, so he didn't know much about the new genius, Yuan Tao.
Sighing deeply, Zhang Xuan could only give up on the matter.
Five days later, the Seven-colored Divine Crane finally came to a halt. What came into view was a mountain range that stretched as far as the eye could see.
After the past few days of cultivation, he had managed to consolidate his cultivation. Without the aid of high-tier spirit stones, even though he hadn't made any further breakthroughs, he was still able to adapt to his new cultivation, and his fighting prowess had become much stronger.
If Jian Qinsheng were to control his strength and spar with him like before, there was a good chance that he would have been able to kill the other party in a single move.
"The Dongxu Gourd is located here," Luo Xuanhai instructed.
The Seven-colored Divine Crane came to a halt in front of a valley, and Luo Xuanqing gestured downward.
Following the direction that Luo Xuanhai was pointing at, Zhang Xuan saw a valley that extended all the way into the distance. There were mountains all around, concealing the valley completely. If one didn't fly into the sky, it would have been impossible to see it.
"Gathering wind and water is a terrain where spirit veins can be formed."
Zhang Xuan thought.
His comprehension of formations had already reached 8-star pinnacle. This valley connected all of the surrounding mountains together, forming a place where spiritual energy gathered.
"However, it seems like someone has altered the spirit veins, preventing it from forming spirit ores."
Zhang Xuan took a closer look at the valley before him and frowned.
Given how the valley was able to gather spiritual energy, it should have formed spirit ores over time. However, perhaps it was because someone had mined the area or some other problem had occurred, the entire earth vein had been destroyed. While it was still able to gather spiritual energy, it was impossible for spirit ores to form.
"Let's head down."
Perplexed, the Seven-colored Divine Crane flew down. Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of the valley.
"This is known as the 'Valley of Earth Spirits'. Due to the rich spiritual energy, there are many saint beasts here. Some of them have even reached Saint 8-dan, so we can't fly in directly. Otherwise, we might be ambushed!"
Luo Xuanqing said.
Zhang Xuan was astonished.
He had thought that the Seven-colored Divine Crane was the strongest saint beast he had seen so far, but who could have thought that there would be an even more formidable one in the valley?
The Master Teacher Continent was indeed filled with many talented individuals.
But thinking about it, it did make sense. If not for the presence of such a powerful saint beast in the valley, the Dongxu Gourd wouldn't have been left behind until now.
"Everyone, try your best to conceal your aura and not leave any traces behind. Otherwise, we might run into trouble before we even reach our destination," Luo Xuanqing instructed. After which, he arranged for the Seven-colored Divine Crane to provide support in the air before leading the group into the valley.
The others quickly followed suit.
As Zhang Xuan's cultivation was the weakest among them, he was placed in the middle so that he could help out if anything were to happen.
The valley was so quiet that the only sound they could hear was the howling of the wind.
The spiritual energy in the valley was indeed denser than in the outside world, but due to the terrain, it was impossible for the spiritual energy to gather together. It was still possible for one to cultivate, but it was impossible for one to form an ore vein here.
Following behind Luo Xuanqing, Zhang Xuan activated his Eye of Insight and scanned the surroundings carefully.
Streams of spiritual energy flowed calmly within the valley, reminiscent of a peaceful river.
"Is this place really conducive to the growth of the Dongxu Gourd?"
The more he looked, the more perplexed he felt.
Even though he wasn't too sure about the environment in which the Dongxu Gourd grew, Luo Xuanqing had told him that it required a spirit vein to grow. However, the spiritual energy in the valley was so sparse that there was no spirit vein at all.
"Actually, we are already in the midst of a formation set up by that expert!"
Noticing Zhang Xuan's doubts, Luo Xuanqing sent a telepathic message over.
"In the midst of a formation?"
Zhang Xuan was astonished.
His comprehension of formations had already reached 8-star pinnacle. If there was really a formation here, there was no way he wouldn't have been able to tell!
Unless … the formation had reached Nine Stars!
A Nine Stars formation … Just how powerful was the person who left behind the Dongxu Gourd?
"That's right. This formation has altered the flow of spiritual energy, preventing one from discovering the spirit vein and treasure. Otherwise, the Dongxu Gourd would have long been found by someone else!"
Luo Xuanqing nodded. "I was only able to find it due to luck …"
"Luck?"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "I don't think it'll be that easy to find the Dongxu Gourd through pure luck."
Even with his Eye of Insight, he was unable to see anything wrong with the formation. It was unlikely that he would be able to find the Dongxu Gourd through pure luck.
"Actually … I've heard my younger sister mention this place before. She's fond of reading books and making deductions. Once, based on the layout of a formation and the map of this area, she deduced that there might be a 9-star Concealment Formation here. Back then, I took note of it, and I came here to look for it. That was when I realized that something was amiss! "
Luo Xuanqing said with a reddened face.
It was indeed difficult to find the Dongxu Gourd through pure luck. With its history spanning tens of thousands of years, it should have long been found by someone else.
The reason why he was able to find out about the Dongxu Gourd was because of his younger sister.
"You were able to deduce all of this based on the layout of the formation and the map?" Zhang Xuan was astonished.
As expected of his girlfriend!
Her eye of discernment and analytical ability were on par with his.
"Right, Brother Luo, there's something that I'm curious about. I hope that you can enlighten me on it!"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before sending a telepathic message over.
"Speak!"
Luo Xuanqing nodded.
"It's like this. Given how powerful the Luo Clan is, it doesn't pale in comparison to the Zhang clan at all. Why would the head of the Luo Clan want to form a marriage alliance with the Zhang clan?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
This was something that had been bothering him for the past few days.
Since the Sage Clans were determined by their bloodline, and Lozosy was already the head of the Luo Clan, why would the head of the Luo Clan want to form a marriage alliance with the Zhang clan?
Wouldn't that be equivalent to handing over the entire Luo Clan to the Zhang clan?
"Who told you to ask such a question?"
Luo Xuanqing's face darkened as he narrowed his eyes.
Zhang Xuan immediately felt a chill running down his spine. He could sense intense killing intent coming from the other party.
