"Contact the ancestors of the soul oracles?"
Zhang Xuan was confused.
If that fellow was truly a descendant of Ancient Sage Zi Yuan, then it was likely that he had not betrayed the Seer Guild, and the same could be said for Mingshi Tang as well. However, why would an expert of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers side with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?
More importantly, there was an Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage?
No matter how Zhang Xuan thought about it, he was unable to make sense of it at all. After asking a few more questions, he realized that Jiang Fangyou had no idea what the other party was up to. All he had done was deliver the message that the other party had requested. As he was not qualified to view the contents of the message, it went without saying that he had no idea what the other party was up to.
"Our ancestors have sacrificed so much for the human race. As their descendants, how can we disgrace their heroic spirits? Moreover, the Jiang family has been established for tens of thousands of years. Countless powerhouses have died in the Catacombs. Even if our descendants are unworthy, we can't forget our ancestors!
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was suspecting them of betraying mankind, Jiang Fangyou clasped his fist earnestly.
"I'm sorry, I was too rash!" Zhang Xuan hurriedly got up.
His ancestors had sacrificed so much for the human race, yet he doubted his descendants. This was a great disrespect.
"It's normal for soul oracles to harbor such thoughts …" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Shaking his head, Jiang Fangyou turned his gaze back to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and a thought suddenly came to his mind. "Could it be that Zhang Shi emptied out his treasury because he thought that we might be siding with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?"
"Yes …" Zhang Xuan's face reddened.
Jiang Fangyou nodded in realization. "There's indeed no need to abide by the rules and etiquette of master teachers when dealing with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe …"
The fact that their ancestors were able to infiltrate the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and endure humiliation for the greater good showed that they did not place much importance on the rules.
If he really encountered a major power that had betrayed the human race, stealing all of their treasures and depriving them of their supplies was indeed the best choice.
"I'll return your treasures in a moment …" Zhang Xuan blurted out.
Knowing that not only did the other party not betray the human race, but he was also a great hero of the human race, no matter how thick-skinned Zhang Xuan was, he would not be able to take the treasure for himself.
Jiang Fangyou couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing Zhang Xuan's expression.
It was true that Zhang Xuan did not follow the rules when it came to doing things, but he was often able to achieve miraculous results. If the Zhang Clan were to really betray mankind today, just a single Saint 9-dan cultivator would be more than enough to send them into disarray.
After making things clear, the rest was simple. Zhang Xuan agreed to temporarily act as the clan leader of the Jiang family.
Before the verdict of the soul oracle was overturned, he couldn't get involved with the Jiang Clan for the time being. Otherwise, he would have given the position to Lu Chong instead.
His student had found the ancestral land of the soul oracles and obtained their heritage. In the future, he would surely become the leader of the soul oracles.
Speaking of the Ancestral Ground of the Soul Oracles, Zhang Xuan finally came to a realization.
Previously, he had been thinking that since the soul oracles had been uprooted, how could their ancestral grounds possibly be spared? Now, it seemed that Kong Shi had purposely hidden or shown mercy in order to preserve his lineage.
Otherwise, with Mingshi Tang's ability, it would be difficult for anything to be left if he really wanted to exterminate them.
By the time the inauguration ceremony ended, it was already late at night. Zhang Xuan called Jiang Feifei over, and Zhang Xuan passed a book over.
"This book contains my understanding of the Soul Quintessence. If you study according to it, you should be able to comprehend it swiftly. There's no need for you to browse through the Jiang Clan's Jade Wall anymore."
After returning the Jiang Clan's treasury, leaving behind only a few artifacts that could provide spiritual energy, Zhang Xuan passed the secret manual that he had just written over to Jiang Feifei.
"Your understanding of the Soul Quintessence?"
Jiang Feifei flipped open the book and swiftly browsed through it. Following which, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Souls were intangible and intangible, making them extremely difficult to cultivate. As talented as she was, she didn't have the confidence to truly comprehend the Soul Quintessence. In fact, she felt that it would be impossible for her to do so even if she devoted her entire life to it.
But now, the secret manual that the new clan head had given her allowed her to concretize her soul, making it much easier to cultivate. Based on her understanding, as long as she studied it carefully, it was possible for her to comprehend the Soul Quintessence within a month.
To comprehend the Soul Quintessence within a month … Countless ancestors had failed to do so …
"T-this … It's too valuable!"
Jiang Feifei's body trembled uncontrollably as she bit her lower lip. A moment later, she seemed to have made up her mind, and she clenched her fists tightly. "You have given me such a valuable secret manual, but there's nothing I can do to repay you.
Even though she didn't like Zhang Xuan, she knew that he was simply too important to the Jiang Clan. It would be best if she could win him over through marriage.
At most, she would just have to make some sacrifices.
The other party had said that he already had someone he liked, and if that didn't work out, she would be willing to become his concubine.
Given Jiang Feifei's beauty and standing, she wouldn't turn him down.
"Marriage? You are thinking too much. My cultivation technique might be easy to cultivate, but without my guidance, it's easy for one's cultivation to go berserk and go down the wrong path … "
Seeing how arrogant Jiang Feifei was, Zhang Xuan shook his head with a smile and said, "How about this? I'll take you in as my student and guide you on your cultivation technique."
"Student?"
Jiang Feifei was stunned.
She had thought that the reason why he had given her such a huge gift was so that she would be moved to devote her life to him. Who could have known that he was actually intending to take her in as his student?
Wouldn't it be great if she could become his concubine?
"Hurry up and kowtow! Even if it's just a student, it'll be more than enough for you to make a name for yourself! "
Seeing that his daughter was in a daze, Jiang Fangyou bellowed.
Their clan head was not just the head of the Zhang clan, the Luo clan, and the sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages. On top of that, his students were the Progeny of Combat of the Combat Master Hall, the princess of the Glacier Plain Court, the leader of the Spirit Awakener Guild, and the head of the Yuan Clan … Every single one of them was a formidable figure.
If his daughter could become his student, even if it was just in name, she would surely benefit greatly from it. It would only be a matter of time before she surpassed him.
"Yes!"
Hearing her father's words, Jiang Feifei was taken aback for a moment before coming to a realization.
All along, she had thought that the other party was the young genius who had challenged her in the Sanctum of Sages, but who would have thought that in less than a month, the other party was already standing at the top of the Master Teacher Continent?
Putting aside his other identities, just the fact that he was Yang shi's senior was more than enough for her to call him great-grandfather.
"Jiang Feifei pays respect to teacher!"
Without any hesitation, Jiang Feifei kneeled onto the floor.
"Rise!"
Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
When Jiang Feifei kneeled onto the floor earlier, another golden page had appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path, and she could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
He had known that the Book of Heaven's Path wielded incredible might, and he had thought that it would only be able to crush Saint 1-dan, 2-dan, or even 4-dan cultivators. Who could have thought that even Ancient Sages would be unable to withstand its might?
With the Book of Heaven's Path, even an Ancient Sage would not pose a threat to him!
If it comes down to it, I should just accept a few more students … Hmm, Yang shi's student, Feng Ziyi, isn't too bad either. Perhaps I should negotiate with Old Yang and have him transfer his student to me?
Zhang Xuan stroked his lower jaw as he contemplated.
Given his current standing, he would have to accept a few outstanding students in order for them to match his standing. But where could he find a good student?
Not everyone was as outstanding, kind, righteous, and noble as him …
