"As expected of the World's Teacher …"
Wu Chen sighed emotionally.
"Not only is Kong shi's strength unrivaled in the world, he has also contributed greatly to the development of the various occupations and knowledge. Based on what I know, of the Upper, Intermediate, and Lower occupations, there are at least twenty of them that he has helped to define!" Zhang Xuan exclaimed.
Heung Kensei's eyes lit up.
The legacy of the Master Teacher Pavilion originated from Kong Shi, and as long as one was a master teacher, there was no one who didn't respect him greatly.
Zhang Xuan didn't chat with the crowd. Instead, he looked at the towering temple in the middle of the 'sun'. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes. Vaguely, there seemed to be something calling out to him.
The Library of Heaven's Path seemed to have sensed something. It shook slightly, and countless books rustled.
"Could it be that … there's something in the Temple of Confucius that can upgrade the Library of Heaven's Path?"
He frowned.
The library had always been peaceful, and there was almost no movement at all. But now, it was trembling non-stop. It was indescribably strange.
He didn't even feel as excited as he did when he visited the Seer Guild back then.
Could it be that in the ruins left by Kong Shi, there were treasures that the library longed for?
If that was the case, he had to get it no matter what.
Along the way, the reason why he was able to rise from a nameless nobody to a renowned figure in the world was not because of his astounding talent, noble character, or untrustworthy diligence … It was because of his library!
Without it, he might still be in Tianxuan Kingdom, struggling to become a 1-star master teacher.
This was his greatest reliance and trump card. If he could advance again, he would not shrink back even if it was dangerous.
Activating his Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan attempted to peer into the depths of the light. Even though he had already flown several million li into Qufu, he was still unable to see the depths of the temple. It felt as if he was looking at a flower through a fog.
"The Temple of Confucius is located in a folded space, and it hasn't been fully opened yet. Even Ancient Sages wouldn't be able to reach it even if they were to fly for ten years!"
Lozosy said.
Zhang Xuan was speechless.
This feeling was the same as the sun in his previous life, hanging above his head and within reach. In reality, even light would take eight minutes to reach him.
"To be able to see such a magnificent sight from so far away … Just how big is this ancient ruin?" Zhang Xuan asked.
The reason why the sun was like this was because it was too big.
Would the Temple of Confucius be the same?
"The ruins shouldn't be that big. It's just an application of the Law of Space. It's not that far away!" Lozosy smiled.
She seemed to know a lot about this temple.
While they were chatting idly, an ancient city came into sight. The group quickly flew over.
The Temple of Confucius was located in Qufu!
This city wasn't as prosperous and majestic as the Empire Alliance. The buildings here had been standing for countless years, looking a little old and dilapidated. However, as soon as one entered, it gave off a sense of peace and tranquility, like a baby returning to its mother's embrace.
"This is … the unique aura of a Celestial Master Teacher?"
The aura emanating from the city was very similar to the aura that he had felt when he was acknowledged as a Celestial Master Teacher, just that it was much thinner.
"Literature has a scholarly air while martial arts has a martial fate. This is the unique teaching culture of master teachers, and it is also known as the 'teacher's style'. If one is influenced by this for a long period of time, one's state of mind will improve rapidly, and one's thoughts will become clearer. From then on, one's inner demons will cease to exist, and distracting thoughts will cease to exist!"
Seeing his expression, Heung Kensei chuckled.
"Teacher's style?" Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
In truth, this unique aura wasn't just present when one was acknowledged as a Celestial Master Teacher. After becoming a master teacher, one would also receive feedback from the aura when paying respects to their ancestors.
It was through this that master teachers were able to convince the masses to obey them without resorting to violence.
"This place … has always been like this?"
Zhang Xuan asked in bewilderment. Just as Zhang Xuan had said, the aura was able to clear one's mind and clear one's thoughts.
If this was the case, the effects on master teachers would be even greater than that of the Mingshi Tang headquarters!
"Even though this' teacher's style 'existed before the opening of the Temple of Confucius, it was extremely thin, so its effects weren't significant. However, if one were to live here for a long period of time, one would still be able to improve significantly. It is for this reason that this place is known as the Ancestral Grounds of Master Teachers. Countless Nine Stars master teachers would come here, but they didn't cultivate or go into seclusion. Instead, they chose to live a peaceful life as an ordinary person, tempering their state of mind! "
After explaining, Heung Kensei pointed casually and asked, "Take a look at that carpenter over there. Do you find anything amiss?"
Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over.
As expected, by the side of the street, he saw a carpenter working on a piece of furniture. His hands were filled with calluses, and his every movement was as precise as a ruler. Wood shavings flew into the air, and soon, a finished product appeared before him.
"He is … a Nine Stars master teacher?"
Zhang Xuan was astonished.
There wasn't the slightest hint of strength in the carpenter's movements, and he couldn't sense any zhenqi flowing through his body either. However, through the Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan could tell that the aura in his dantian was as vast as the ocean, stretching as far as the eye could see. Most likely, even a Nine Stars master teacher would be stronger than him!
"Indeed. He was an extremely famous master teacher in Mingshi Tang three hundred years ago. Back then, he had already reached Great Sage 2-dan Aureate Body realm, so there's no doubt that he's even stronger now!"
Heung Kensei nodded.
"An Aureate Body realm expert working as a carpenter?"
Zhang Xuan could hardly believe what he was hearing.
All along, he had thought that Aureate Body realm experts were extremely rare in the human world. Who could have thought that a random carpenter he saw in Qufu City would actually reach such a level?
"Indeed. Look over there at the fish seller and the chicken butcher … Back then, they were both famous Nine Stars master teachers. Back then, their cultivation wasn't too high, but now, even the weakest of them has reached Great Sage 3-dan Intuitive Impulse realm, just like us!"
Heung Kensei continued pointing as he explained, "If not for your accident, the two of us would have come here to live the life of an ordinary person. We would experience the hardships of daily life and raise our Soul Depth so as to push for a higher realm!"
Zhang Xuan scanned the surroundings.
Just as he had said, there were quite a few ordinary-looking fellows in the surroundings who had reached Great Sage.
In the past, it was rare for experts to appear in the various clans, but here, they were as common as cabbages.
It was no wonder why it was known as the Ancestral Ground of Master Teachers.
"Right, Xuan-er, what is your Soul Depth at the moment? This is the most important factor for a master teacher to improve their cultivation. Without a sufficient Soul Depth, it will become increasingly difficult for them to push for higher realms! "
Heung Kensei suddenly turned to Zhang Xuan with a curious look on his face.
If one's cultivation was high, one would be able to advance swiftly if they had sufficient resources and a good teacher. However, one's Soul Depth … could only be improved step by step. It was impossible for one to rush a seedling to help it grow. His talented son was only in his early twenties, but he had already become a Nine Stars master teacher. What was his Soul Depth and how did he cultivate?
"Mine?"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before answering honestly, "29.1!"
