"How powerful!"
Zhang Xuan's face warped in astonishment. He hurriedly tossed aside the sword in his hand and retreated in a panic.
He was only using the strength of an Aureate Body realm pinnacle cultivator at the moment, so the other party would not make a move on him.
"Do you think that you can escape?"
Seeing how decisively Zhang Xuan was trying to flee after failing his attack, the black-armored figure harrumphed coldly. He gathered the strength in his palm and harnessed the might of his palm.
"Break!"
Zhang Xuan flicked his finger.
Hong long!
The Saint pinnacle sword immediately exploded in midair. It was as if the explosion of a Saint 9-dan expert had stopped the black-armored figure's attack.
After which, the black-armored figure leaped into the air and swiftly fled into the distance.
"Stop right there!"
Hualala!
Seeing the black-armored figure's actions, the surrounding Otherworldly Demons swiftly whipped out their weapons and prepared to make a move.
"There's no need for you to make a move. That fellow is interesting. Leave him to me!"
The black-armored figure sneered coldly as he stepped forward and clenched his fist.
The might of the explosion of a Saint pinnacle artifact was not weak, but it was nothing to a Sempiternal realm cultivator.
Hu la!
A massive palm immediately materialized in midair and wrapped around Zhang Xuan, sealing the area around him.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Xuan spurted a mouthful of blood. It was as if he had activated some kind of bloodline ability, and his aura immediately surged as he charged right into the sealed space.
"You aren't weak at the Aureate Body realm, but you are still far from matching up to a Sempiternal realm cultivator. Come down!"
Huala!
The black-armored figure clasped his hands together, and sonic booms echoed in the air. Zhang Xuan was ultimately unable to break through the seal, and he was trapped in the middle like a crab tied up by a rope. No matter how he struggled, he was unable to break free.
"Come here!"
With another grab, Zhang Xuan was forcefully pulled right in front of the black-armored figure.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan's face was ghastly pale, as if he had lost the ability to resist after burning his bloodline.
Knowing that it was impossible for him to escape, Zhang Xuan roared furiously, "If you want to kill me, just kill me! I, Xuan Zhang, won't even bat an eyelid!"
"Kill you? Don't worry, you can live a little longer. The more formidable a master teacher is, the purer their zhenqi will be, and the more powerful the altar will be. Initially, I was still worried that the altar wouldn't be powerful enough, but with your appearance, it should be more than enough. "
With a light chuckle, the black-armored figure flicked his finger, and Zhang Xuan immediately flew over to Hu Yaoyao and the others. "Lock him up and offer him to us!"
"Yes!"
The two Otherworldly Demons clenched their fists lightly, and Zhang Xuan immediately felt a thin thread locking onto his meridians, sealing all of his strength within his body.
After that, he ignored him and continued to set up the altar.
"You shouldn't have come out. You sacrificed yourself for nothing …"
Seeing that it was just as he had guessed, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to study the string, he heard a sigh.
The one who spoke was an elder who was at the Introspective Convalescence realm.
"Senior, do you know why they created this altar?"
Zhang Xuan asked. Seeing that the elder before him was in a much better state than the others, he could not help but ask.
"They intend to use the altar to tear open a dimension rift and construct a bridge to enter the Temple of Confucius," the elder replied with a suppressed voice.
With his cultivation sealed, he was unable to transmit his zhenqi telepathy.
"Tear open a dimension rift? Enter the Temple of Confucius? "Zhang Xuan was taken aback." Isn't there an exit in this world of ice? As long as we can find the exit, we should be able to enter the Temple of Confucius. Is there a need to go through so much trouble? "
"Exit?" the elder replied with a bitter smile. "There is indeed an exit, but it won't lead to the Temple of Confucius."
"It won't lead to the Temple of Confucius?" Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully.
He had traveled from the forest world to the desert world, and then to this world of ice … Just like the pavilion, as long as he passed through the corresponding floors, he would surely be able to reach the Temple of Confucius.
"The Temple of Confucius has a total of six Subordinate Halls and one Main Hall. Each of the Subordinate Halls corresponds to a different world, and these worlds are connected by exits and entrances. If one were to follow the path of the exits and entrances, one would end up traversing between the six worlds.
"Using this world of ice as an example, if one were to follow the path of the exits and entrances, one would return to this world after traversing through the five worlds …"
"Ah … Is that so?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He had thought that as long as he was fast enough, he would be able to reach the Temple of Confucius after traversing through all of the worlds. Who could have thought that the worlds were actually connected together?
If that was the case, wouldn't that mean that he was going around in circles?
"This should be a secret that not even the headquarters of the Mingshi Tang are aware of. How did you know?"
Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully.
As the head of the Three Great Clans, a nine Stars master teacher, and the sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages, even he wasn't privy to such information. If Pavilion Master Ren of the Mingshi Tang knew about it, he would have surely told him about it in advance. How could this old man know so much about it?
"That Otherworldly Demon from before said that it's impossible to enter the Temple of Confucius by following the exits. The only way to enter the Temple of Confucius is to make a sacrifice to tear open space so that one can enter the Subordinate Halls!"
The old man said.
"Enter the Subordinate Halls? Isn't it impossible to enter the Subordinate Halls without the Celestial Amulet of Legacy? "
If everyone could tear open space and enter the Subordinate Halls of the Temple of Confucius, what was the point of having the Celestial Amulet of Legacy?
At the very least, there wouldn't be so many people fighting over it.
"Without the Celestial Amulet of Legacy, it's impossible to enter the Subordinate Halls. However, it's still possible for one to enter the Subordinate Halls. This is the true outer perimeter of the Temple of Confucius, where the spiritual energy is denser, making it easier for one to cultivate. Furthermore, just because one can enter the Subordinate Halls and snatch an artifact doesn't mean that the artifact is yours. Without sufficient strength, one could easily be snatched away as soon as one leaves the Subordinate Halls. Thus, there are many experts guarding the outer perimeter, and it's said that there are even Ancient Sages among them! "
The old man said in horror.
"Ancient Sages? They are guarding the outer perimeter? "
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
"Indeed. They are unable to enter the Temple of Confucius due to the restrictions placed on them, but they can still wait for their prey to show up. Those who are able to enter the Subordinate Halls will eventually come out. Once they leave, there's a good chance that they will be ambushed. To be honest, the Subordinate Halls are the most dangerous places. Ordinary cultivators like us should just loiter around the Subordinate Halls. If we were to enter the Subordinate Halls, we'll only end up dying even faster! "
The old man said with a bitter smile. "Forget it. We'll be turned into a sacrificial offering soon, so there's no point in saying anything more. Let's just save our energy for now."
"Un."
Zhang Xuan nodded in astonishment.
He had thought that Ancient Sages would be able to reach even the Subordinate Halls, but who could have thought that they would be able to reach the outer perimeter of the Temple of Confucius? If that was really the case, it would indeed be much more dangerous.
If the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe knows about this, could it be that they have already scouted the six worlds? Or could it be that … they have already sent experts to the outer perimeter of the Subordinate Halls?
A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind.
He had already traversed three worlds, but he had not met Zhao Ya, Wei Ruyan, the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, or even Lozosy and the others. Where could they have gone?
Could they have already reached the outer perimeter of the Subordinate Halls?
