Zhang Xuan wasn't a noble person, and he could be a little selfish at times. The reason he had taken the master teacher examination wasn't to save mankind but to gain a higher status so that he could read more books … However, that didn't affect his decision.
If mankind were to be destroyed, what was the point of being strong?
He was no longer a loner. He had a family, students, and a huge group of people whom he wanted to protect.
This was also the reason why he had tried so hard to convince the Luo Clan to acknowledge his identity.
Since the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe could appear at any moment, there was no reason for him to turn them down.
"It's great that you agreed to it …"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's agreement, Ren Qingyuan and the others were stunned for a moment before leaping in joy.
They were still thinking about how they could persuade the other party, but who could have thought that the other party would agree so easily?
"I'll issue an order right now. The Three Premier Clans will heed the orders of the Mingshi Tang!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
Seeing that the other party had agreed to it without any hesitation, Ren Qingyuan didn't say anything else. After issuing some instructions, the Nine Stars master teachers hurriedly left.
"Clan Head Zhang, you came to the Mingshi Tang headquarters to …"
With the help of the Three Premier Clans, they should be able to suppress the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe for the time being. Ren Qingyuan heaved a sigh of relief as he turned to Zhang Xuan with a doubtful look on his face.
When he first heard of the young man before him, he thought that the young man before him was just an insignificant figure who had pretended to be Yang shi's student. However, at this very moment, the young man before him had already become a figure who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, perhaps even surpassing him.
In less than a month, the changes in the Master Teacher Continent were all due to the young man before him. As long as he didn't die, there was a good chance that he would surpass Yang shi in the future.
"I'm here because I have a request for you …" Zhang Xuan clasped his fist and said, "I would like to pay a visit to the Kong Shi Ancestral Hall!"
Lozosy had told him that if there was a high-tier Mingshi Tang cultivation method to achieve a breakthrough to Great Sage, he would definitely find it there.
The Kong Shi Ancestral Hall was a memorial hall built to commemorate the contributions of Kong Shi. His handwriting, clothes, and many other valuable items could be found within.
Ren Qingyuan was still wondering what was going on, but upon hearing that it was this matter, he chuckled softly and said, "I was wondering what it would be. Since even Nine Stars Master Teachers are required to enter the Library of Heaven's Path to take a look, naturally, Clan Head Zhang is qualified as well. I'll bring you there right now!"
"There's no need for Teacher Ren to lead the way. I would like to bring Lozosy in with me and tour the place by myself. Is that possible?" Zhang Xuan asked.
The cultivation techniques required for a breakthrough to Great Sage were bound to be extremely secretive. If one were to simply visit and have someone accompanying them, it would be nigh impossible for them to find it. Thus, they would have to travel alone.
"This …"
Frowning, Ren Qingyuan pondered for a moment before replying, "Under normal circumstances, those who wish to enter the Kong Shi Ancestral Hall will have to be accompanied by others. However, as a Nine Stars master teacher, Clan Head Zhang, you have contributed greatly to the Subterranean Gallery, not to mention that you have commanded your clan members to guard the Subterranean Gallery. How about this? I'll give you a day's time, but try not to stay too long!"
"Many thanks!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up as he clasped his fist.
The Kong Shi Ancestral Hall contained his personal handwriting and artifacts, and it was extremely beneficial to one's cultivation. Those who visited the Ancestral Hall would be able to gain insights and raise their cultivation. As such, there were plenty of people who would stay in the Ancestral Hall for two hours. However, it was unheard of for someone to stay in the Ancestral Hall for an entire day.
Ren Qingyuan had indeed tried his best to make such a promise.
"I'll head over right now!"
After obtaining the other party's agreement, Zhang Xuan asked about the exact location of the Kong Shi Ancestral Hall before leaving the Subterranean Gallery to look for Lozosy. The two of them headed over together.
The Kong Shi Ancestral Hall had been built by Ancient Sage Zi Yuan after the disappearance of the Sage Kong Shi. He had left behind quite a few manuscripts, clothes, artifacts, and weapons. The main purpose of the Ancestral Hall was to allow future generations to feel the spirit of the World's Teacher and experience his greatness.
The artifacts in the Ancestral Hall weren't offensive artifacts, and they didn't wield too much power either. However, they were able to inspire and inspire one.
Walking through the Ancestral Hall, Zhang Xuan saw the bloodied clothes that Kong Shi had left behind during his battle with the Otherworldly Demons, as well as the final words that Chen Cai had left behind when he was trapped in the Ancestral Hall.
Even someone as powerful as Kong Shi had to go through many hardships to defeat the Otherworldly Demons.
"This is the Saint Ascension Platform that Kong Shi left behind when he made a breakthrough to the Introspective Convalescence realm back then. If there's a cultivation technique, it should be here!"
After walking around the room for a moment, Luo Ruoxin pointed forward.
Zhang Xuan hurriedly turned his gaze over, and he saw a circular stone platform not too far away. It was shimmering with a brilliant light, reminiscent of jade.
"Is this … caused by the heavenly flames?"
Recognizing the stone platform, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
The material of this stone platform looked like ordinary green jade, but for some reason, it gave off a crystal clear feeling, like a piece of flawless jade.
Most likely, only the heavenly flames could cause such a reaction to an ordinary stone.
More importantly, his soul had been tempered by the heavenly flames, so he could sense the fearsomeness of the heavenly tribulation. As such, he was able to find a resonance with the stone platform.
"It's the might of the heavenly flames!"
Lozosy nodded.
After confirming the matter, Zhang Xuan activated his Eye of Insight and examined the stone platform carefully, but a deep frown soon formed on his forehead.
He had already figured out how the heavenly flame had reduced the Emerald Jadeite to such a state, but … he was still unable to figure out how Kong shi had managed to achieve a breakthrough to Saint 9-dan and draw in the heavenly flame ordeal.
"If … there's really a cultivation technique here, given how so many formidable master teachers of the Mingshi Tang have come to view the stone platform, the secret should have been discovered by them by now …"
Zhang Xuan turned to Luo Ruoxin doubtfully.
Master teachers were known for their eye of discernment. While Zhang Xuan's Eye of Insight was not too bad, there were still ten experts in the Sanctum of Sages who possessed it.
Since so many experts had come to view the stone platform but were unable to find anything, what could he possibly find?
Instead of explaining the matter, Lozosy turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "Do you have the Saint Ascension Platform that Kong Shi left behind when he made a breakthrough to Saint realm?"
"I do!"
Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment before flicking his wrist. A stone platform appeared before him.
Before passing the Qiu Wu Palace crystal ball to Luo Ganzhen, he had kept the stone platform in his storage ring. Since it involved Kong Shi, he didn't want the Luo Clan to learn of it.
"Try using the zhenqi in the Saint Ascension Decipher to activate the stone platform!"
Lozosy nodded.
Even though Zhang Xuan didn't know what Luo Qiqi was up to, he still nodded. Taking a deep breath, he drove his zhenqi frenziedly.
Tzzzzzzz!
As soon as his zhenqi landed on the Saint Ascension Platform, the latter immediately emanated a seven-colored glow. It slowly rose into the air, and in an instant, it fused together with the stone platform that had been scorched by the heavenly flames.
In just a few moments, the two platforms had merged into one.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
He had never imagined that the two stone platforms would be able to fuse together.
Weng!
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to ask Luo Qiqi what was going on, a brilliant burst of light suddenly burst forth from the stone platform. An illusory black silhouette appeared above the stone platform, and it sat cross-legged with its eyes tightly shut.
"This is the image that Kong Shi left behind when he made a breakthrough to Great Sage. The method to achieve a breakthrough lies within it!"
Lozosy exclaimed anxiously.
