"This …"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before nodding.
Along the way, Zhang Xuan had met many master teachers. Some of them, regardless of their cultivation, were polite and amiable, not daring to forget the heritage of their teacher. There were also some who were obstinate and conceited, relying on their identity to do things, no different from the other powers and prestigious clans.
Mingshi Tang's intentions were good, but as time went by, it was inevitable that it would deteriorate.
Power and standing high above others could indeed corrupt a person's character, and master teachers were no exception to this.
"For example, the Master Teacher Pavilion has issued an arrest warrant for you. I have looked through your records, and you are a top-notch genius. Under normal circumstances, the Master Teacher Pavilion should have taken the initiative to mediate the situation. However, the fact that you are able to overcome the lightning tribulation is a testament to your incredible talent. If you do not have a teacher, you will become a highly sought after target. Capturing you will not be a problem at all.
Yang shi shook his head and sighed deeply. "The Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters has already been divided into several factions, and each of them is trying their best to surpass the other. As a result, the academic exchanges between the two factions are no longer as serious as it was in the past. Once a faction obtains a solution from you, it'll surely be able to surpass the other faction and suppress them. Back then, Kong shi had left behind the Master Teacher Pavilion in order to strengthen mankind, but humanity … Sigh!
"Human nature … is indeed hard to say!"
Zhang Xuan sighed.
In the early days of Mingshi Tang's founding, the world was governed by the concept of education without discrimination. However, after tens of thousands of years, the stability of mankind had caused many to be blinded by power, and they had forgotten their original intentions.
The true top master teachers were even inferior to those 1-star master teachers that Zhang Xuan had met before.
At the very least, their eyes hadn't been clouded by power and authority.
"Indeed. Saint realm cultivators only have a lifespan of a thousand years, and no one has been able to surpass it in the past tens of thousands of years. Many people have lost their motivation after reaching the pinnacle, and under such circumstances, it goes without saying that they should be treated better … Alright, let's not talk about this anymore!"
With a look of disappointment on his face, Yang shi decided not to pursue the matter any further.
These matters had already seeped deep into his bones, and it wasn't something that he could resolve alone.
"This is a flaw that has accumulated over tens of thousands of years of Mingshi Tang's heritage … However, no matter how pompous the master teachers are, they are still responsible for dealing with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Therefore, in the eyes of the previous Hallmaster, these minor ailments were insignificant. As long as they did not change their minds, it would not be a big deal. As time went by, it became the current situation! "
Zhang Xuan nodded.
No matter how much authority could change a person's personality, as long as their attitude toward the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe did not change, it could only mean that the master teachers were still as glorious as ever.
"Ever since we lost contact with Kong Shi, Great Sage has become the pinnacle of mankind, and no one has been able to achieve a breakthrough to the next level. However, your appearance has changed everything. As a Celestial Master Teacher, you will surely be able to lead us down a different path and bring back the glory of mankind!"
After which, Yang shi turned to Zhang Xuan excitedly.
The previous Deputy Hall Masters did not have sufficient authority, making it difficult for them to control the situation. However, the appearance of the Deputy Hall Master had changed everything.
"Great Sage?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
"That's right. Above Saint 9-dan, there's still Great Sage. However, this realm isn't divided into nine dans but four! Beyond Great Sage is Ancient Sage! This is the realm that Qiu Wu, Bo Shang, and the others have reached. Ever since Kong Shi left, no one has been able to reach Ancient Sage! "
Yang shi nodded.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan's heart jolted in astonishment.
He had thought that Ancient Sage was just a term of respect for the Ancient Sages, but who could have known that it was actually a formidable realm?
"What realm is Kong Shi at?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask curiously.
Since his servants and disciples were all Ancient Sages, just what realm had the number one expert of mankind, the founder of the Master Teacher Pavilion, reached? And what kind of strength did he possess?
"Kong Shi has already reached an unfathomable level … He isn't someone that we juniors can fathom!"
Yang shi gazed into the distance with a look of fascination on his face.
Kong Shi was an invincible existence from the moment he was born. No one knew just how powerful he was, and even if someone did, it wasn't something that juniors like them would be able to pry into.
"After saying so much, I believe that you should have some understanding of the current Mingshi Tang. In order to not reveal his identity as a Celestial Master Teacher, he will need another identity so that others won't suspect him. Otherwise, given how he has successfully crashed two Master Teacher Pavilions within a short year and caused such a huge uproar … I fear that things will get out of hand!"
Yang shi looked at Zhang Xuan.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan fell silent.
The other party was right. A master teacher's rank was high, and it only meant that they were powerful, possessed a high Soul Depth, and contributed to the education system. However, did it mean that their character was high?
Did the head of the Bureau of Education mean that their character was superior to that of ordinary teachers?
That wasn't necessarily the case!
It was just a matter of luck and talent. It had nothing to do with one's character.
In fact, powerful master teachers were far above the masses, far above the masses.
As such, even though the headquarters of Mingshi Tang was a 'teacher' as well, it wasn't as peaceful as one would expect.
"Naturally, I wouldn't dare to accept you as my disciple. However … I can accept you as my disciple on behalf of my teacher. In other words, I can announce to the world that you are my senior. This way, even if others doubt you, I won't be able to say anything since my teacher has already passed away. Of course, this is just a form of address. Even my teacher isn't qualified to accept you as his disciple … "
Yang shi revealed his thoughts.
"Senior?" Zhang Xuan's face twitched, and he scratched his head awkwardly. "This … doesn't seem to be a good idea … Junior!"
"A Celestial Master Teacher possesses an esteemed standing on equal footing with Kong Shi. If not for the fact that I'm afraid that it would be too shocking, I would have acknowledged you as my teacher … Addressing you as senior is already an overstep!"
Yang shi hurriedly said.
Even though he was the First Grand Elder of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Continent, his standing still paled far in comparison to that of a Celestial Master Teacher.
It was already a huge breach of etiquette for him to address the other party as his senior and pretend to be his junior.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan could only nod reluctantly. "Alright then, Junior Yang Xuan!"
"Brother Zhang Shi …"
Yang shi heaved a sigh of relief in delight.
He had intended to take the other party in as his student, but in the end, the other party had become his senior instead … Even so, he was still filled with excitement.
With the appearance of a Celestial Master Teacher, the various factions of Mingshi Tang would surely be unified. Mankind would only grow stronger and stronger, and it would be easier for them to deal with the crisis.
"Right, Junior, I heard that you once helped someone reconstruct their meridians. Is that true?"
After confirming their relationship and coming up with a solution, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Yang shi with a peculiar look on his face.
The guild leader had said that the young man before him had helped him reconstruct meridians. Since they had met, it was a good opportunity for him to ask him about it.
"That's indeed the case!" Yang shi nodded.
