A brush materialized in Zhang Xuan's hand, and he swiftly drew out a map of his surroundings. All eight directions were marked with the words' Temple of Confucius'.
As soon as his finger touched it, a 'weng!' sound echoed in his mind.
No book appeared.
"…"
Zhang Xuan's face was ashen.
The fact that there were no books meant that the Library of Heaven's Path was useless in locating the Temple of Confucius!
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
"The Temple of Confucius is hidden in the void, such that no seer on the Master Teacher Continent has been able to peer into its depths … Most likely, Kong Shi has used some kind of means to conceal himself from the heavens!"
Realizing what was going on, Zhang Xuan felt stifled.
There were innumerable experts on the Master Teacher Continent, and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had plenty of geniuses and experts as well. The Great Codex of Spring and Autumn that Kong Shi had left behind had long attracted the covetous eyes of many, but no one had been able to find it even after several dozen millenniums. Most likely, the reason why it had remained undiscovered was not just because of its spatial concealment but also because it had some means of preventing the divination of seers.
Since that was the case, it was only natural that the Library of Heaven's Path was unable to peer into the matter.
The Library of Heaven's Path was omnipotent and omnipresent as long as it was within the reach of the Heavenly Axiom. But what about the places it couldn't reach?
Clearly, the Temple of Confucius was such a place.
Zhang Xuan flicked his finger and took out the Prime Amulet. "Little Amulet, take a look at how we should proceed to the Temple of Confucius."
Since the Prime Amulet was here, there should be a way to deal with it!
"I'm only able to sense it within ten li of the Temple of Confucius. I'm not too sure where it is …" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
The Prime Amulet flew into the air and wriggled its body a little before replying.
However, there was a limit to its ability to sense the Temple of Confucius. If it was too far away from the Temple of Confucius, it would be unable to pinpoint the exact location of the Temple of Confucius.
"Alright then. Send me a message if you find anything."
Seeing that his final trump card was useless, Zhang Xuan felt helpless.
He could do anything he wanted on the Master Teacher Continent, but who could have thought that he would end up suffering such a setback as soon as he arrived at the Temple of Confucius?
"Good! However, if you choose the wrong direction in the Temple of Confucius, you might end up straying further and further away from it … "
The voice of the Celestial Amulet of Legacy sounded.
"Indeed. We must carefully consider which direction we should take. We mustn't act rashly …" Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement. After a moment of contemplation, his eyes suddenly lit up. "I got it!"
"You have a solution? How do I find the direction? "
The Celestial Amulet of Legacy looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
"The Dragonbone Divine Spear!"
With a light chuckle, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the spear appeared in his hand once more.
"It can discern directions?" The Celestial Amulet of Legacy was taken aback. "Even I can't find it, what can it do?"
It had been forged by Kong Shi specifically to search for the Temple of Confucius, but in the end, it had failed to find anything. What could a spear possibly do?
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the spear began to spin in midair.
Not too long later, he came to a halt and pointed his spear in a certain direction. "Un, let's go this way …"
Zhang Xuan nodded with certainty.
"…" The Celestial Amulet of Legacy.
"…" The Dragonbone Divine Spear.
She was still wondering what kind of method Zhang Xuan would use to find his way, but who could have thought that he would be so careless?
This was a Temple of Confucius, not a Wheel of Fortune!
Paying no heed to the two frustrated fellows, Zhang Xuan tucked the talisman into his pocket and turned the Dragonbone Divine Spear back into his belt before striding forward.
Since he was unable to find the direction anyway, he might as well just pick a random direction.
The spiritual energy in the ancient domain was so concentrated that he didn't feel tired at all. Not too long later, a stream appeared before him. Taking a look, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but remark.
What was flowing in the stream wasn't water but spirit essence!
In other words, the spiritual energy in the ancient domain was so concentrated that it could be condensed into liquid form at any given moment.
Back then, he had even torn down the Cloudmist Mountain for spirit essence, but who would have thought that he would be able to find it here?
"Collect!"
Spirit essence of this tier was no longer of any use to him, but in the spirit of frugality, he couldn't just throw away good stuff. Thus, he quickly collected all of it, leaving not a single drop behind.
Crossing the stream, Zhang Xuan continued proceeding forward, and he saw quite a few spirit herbs. Even the smallest of them was at least a thousand years old, and there were some that were at least several dozen thousand years old.
"There are indeed treasures all around!"
Zhang Xuan exclaimed in excitement as he collected more than a dozen spirit herbs.
As expected of the Temple of Confucius, there were simply too many treasures here.
It was no wonder so many experts on the Master Teacher Continent wanted to enter the Temple of Confucius. The spiritual energy, the atmosphere, and the treasures … Regardless of which one it was, it was more than sufficient for one to raise one's cultivation swiftly.
Ding ding ding!
While proceeding forward, Zhang Xuan suddenly heard the sound of metal clashing in the distance. Without any hesitation, he dashed in the direction of the sound.
Before he could even reach the source of the sound, he had already altered his appearance.
As the head of the Three Premier Clans and the head of the Sanctum of Sages, as well as the fugitive of the Mingshi Tang, his name had already spread far and wide across the Master Teacher Continent. It was unlikely that any master teacher would not recognize him, so he had to be careful.
Circling around a slope, Zhang Xuan finally saw the source of the sound. Five men and two women were currently fighting a saint beast.
It was a Golden-faced Skywolf. It was born with the strength of an Aureate Body realm cultivator, and once it reached adulthood, it would be on par with an Intuitive Impulse realm cultivator.
Of the five men and two women, three were at Aureate Body realm while the rest were at Intuitive Impulse realm. They were not wearing master teacher robes or emblems, so it was impossible to tell whether they were Otherworldly Demons in disguise.
With the five experts working together, the Golden-faced Skywolf was forced to retreat.
Under normal circumstances, saint beasts of the same cultivation realm would possess greater fighting prowess. However, in order to enter the Temple of Confucius, they had brought many treasures with them. On top of that, the Golden-faced Skywolf seemed to be lacking in battle experience, so it did not take long for it to be severely injured.
"Everyone, listen to my command and attack together!"
Seeing that the Golden-faced Skywolf was on the verge of collapsing, a young man among the crowd bellowed.
"Alright!" The eyes of the others lit up in excitement as they hurled their weapons toward the Golden-faced Skywolf.
Finally, the Golden-faced Skywolf succumbed to their attacks and collapsed to the ground, breathing its last breath.
"It's dead!"
Heaving a sigh of relief, the crowd was just about to celebrate when they suddenly heard footsteps. A young man was walking over.
"Who are you?"
The crowd asked warily.
"I'm just passing by!"
Zhang Xuan quickly explained.
"Passing by?"
The crowd looked at the young man warily, fearing that he would snatch the Golden-faced Skywolf away from them.
"I'm not interested in that saint beast, so there's no need for you to be so wary."
Seeing their expressions, Zhang Xuan immediately understood what was going on, and he chuckled awkwardly.
It was only a moment ago that the other party had slain the Golden-faced Skywolf, so it would be a lie if he said that he was not nervous.
"I don't think that you would dare …"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan's cultivation was only at Aureate Body realm, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief. The young man who had issued the command harrumphed coldly before turning his gaze back to the Golden-faced Skywolf's corpse. He flicked his wrist, took out a sharp knife, and stabbed it into the Golden-faced Skywolf's corpse.
Soon, the teeth and claws of the Golden-faced Skywolf were dug out.
"I'm the one who contributed the most in slaying that fellow, so I'm sure you don't mind if I take the teeth and claws. You can just split the rest among yourselves!"
The young man said calmly.
