The reason why Zhang Xuan had used the venomous bugs to bite him was to test it out for Zhao Ya. Furthermore, he wanted to experience how the antidote in the lake worked to neutralize the venom of so many venomous bugs.
Only after inspecting the antidote did he realize that it was similar to his Heaven's Path zhenqi.
Other than Kong Shi, he couldn't think of anyone else who possessed such an ability. Thus, he thought of using his zhenqi as a fishing line, and who could have thought that he would be hooked?
"This is Kong Shi's unique zhenqi. You … Why do you have such an ability as well?"
The koi asked doubtfully.
"Because I'm also a Celestial Master Teacher!" Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
"Celestial Master Teacher? No wonder … "The koi widened its eyes in realization." I want to follow you! Back then, Kong Shi told me to stay here and follow the next Celestial Master Teacher. That way, I'll be hooked every single day! "
"Hooked every single day?" Zhang Xuan's face twitched.
What a masochist!
"You should enter my folded space first then. Come out when I tell you to!"
Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand.
"Alright!"
The koi widened its eyes in excitement as it was kept into Zhang Xuan's storage ring. Following which, it saw a massive brick.
"This brick sure is exquisite …" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
He had seen many bricks in his life, but he had never seen such a huge one. Neither had he seen one that was made of so many high-quality materials.
"You are the brick! Your entire family is made of bricks! I am Jin Yuan Ding, a cauldron!" Jin Yuan Ding explained with gritted teeth.
"Cauldron?" The koi widened its eyes in astonishment. "Does that mean that you can start a fire? Come and fry me, no, grill me … Do you want to eat grilled fish? If you do, hurry up. I can't hold myself back anymore … "
"…" Jin Yuan Ding.
"There's no need to grill you. Let's eat sashimi instead!" the Infernal Blacksaber harrumphed coldly.
"There's no need for that …"
Seeing that there was an Ancient Sage artifact in the storage ring, the koi widened its eyes in disbelief.
…
Not knowing what happened in the folded space, Zhang Xuan flew directly above the pond with Zhao Ya.
Just like before, after reaching a height of thirty meters, Zhang Xuan found it difficult to continue any further. With a flick of his wrist, he whipped out the Infernal Blacksaber and slashed it across the air.
Huala!
The space ruptured, and a crack appeared. The two of them continued to move upwards, and soon, they appeared on a flat ground.
Just like when he had entered the Hall of Great Accomplishment previously, there was a massive palace right in front of him.
"It's here. Let's go!"
The two of them hurried forward.
"This is … the sleeping chamber! Could it be the place where Kong Shi once lived? "
On the plaque in the middle of the hall, two words were written: "Sleeping Hall!" In other words, this should be where Kong Shi used to live.
"Teacher, the Great Hall has already opened. Let's hurry!"
Zhang Xuan looked forward and saw that the door to the sleeping chamber was already open, leaving only the seal on the outside. Obviously, someone had already entered.
"Go!"
Zhang Xuan took out Little Amulet and illuminated it on himself.
Just like the previous time, others would not be able to enter without the Celestial Amulet of Legacy or the corresponding unique constitution. However, with the help of Little Amulet of Legacy, Zhang Xuan was able to enter with ease.
Unlike the Hall of Great Accomplishment, the sleeping chamber was extremely simple. If not for the words' Sleeping Hall 'on the outside, Zhang Xuan would have doubted its authenticity.
The sleeping chamber was extremely spacious, and there was almost nothing in it except for a single bed placed at the innermost part of the sleeping chamber.
There were no inscriptions, paintings, or sculptures … The sleeping chamber was as clean as a sheet of white paper.
"This is where Kong Shi used to live?"
Zhao Ya widened her eyes in shock.
Even she could not believe it.
Kong shi had three thousand disciples under him, and seventy-two of them were Ancient Sages. He was the World's Teacher who had groomed countless experts in the world, and yet, his living quarters were actually so simple and plain.
"Kong Shi is truly someone who is indifferent to fame and fortune," Zhang Xuan remarked as he scanned the surroundings.
Just like in the world of poison gas, the layout of the sleeping chamber was extremely natural. It felt extremely comfortable, and there was not the slightest worry or worry at all.
Cultivating in such a place was extremely beneficial to one's state of mind.
"The door is open, so Wei Ruyan and the others must have entered by now. Just that … where are they?"
Zhao Ya also scanned the surroundings in bewilderment.
The sleeping chamber was empty except for the two of them, and the door outside was wide open. Under normal circumstances, there should have been quite a few people here, so why was there no sign of them at all?
Boom boom boom!
Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, he suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy in front of him.
"They should be in front …"
Sensing the presence of spiritual energy in front of him, Zhang Xuan hurriedly rushed forward and walked out of the sleeping chamber through a side door.
As soon as they stepped through the door, they immediately felt a powerful surge of zhenqi crushing down on them, causing them to stagger uncontrollably.
Behind the sleeping chamber was a back garden, and this was where they had just entered.
"We've already reserved the Bodhi Fruit. Please go back!"
A cold harrumph sounded.
"It's understandable that everyone wants good stuff, but … we have put in a lot of effort to obtain these treasures. We can't possibly hand them over to others!"
"Only those who are worthy can claim the treasures. Since we have prepared in advance, it's only right that the treasures belong to us!"
…
Zhang Xuan turned his gaze toward the source of the voice and saw two groups of people facing one another.
The group on the right had around ten people, and Wei Ruyan was among them. The other nine were dressed in the uniform of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers.
On the left, there was only one person standing quietly with a round orb spinning in front of her.
Dimension Silencer!
It was Luo Qiqi, whom he had not seen in a long time!
"Zhang Shi!"
Upon seeing the two of them, the two groups immediately came to a halt, and Luo Qiqi's eyes lit up.
Zhang Xuan nodded in response before turning his gaze to the group from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers.
At this moment, just like Zhao Ya, Wei Ruyan seemed to be oblivious to Zhang Xuan's presence. Not too far away from her was a Bodhi Saint Tree. Under the nourishment of her zhenqi, the several fruits growing on it were gradually turning crimson, as if they would ripen at any moment.
"This isn't an ordinary Bodhi Saint Tree but a Great Sage one!" Noticing Zhang Xuan's bewilderment, Luo Qiqi stepped forward and explained, "Unlike the Bodhi Saint Tree in Hongyuan Empire, the fruits on the tree are able to raise one's Soul Depth by thirty percent, thus increasing one's chances of achieving a breakthrough to Ancient Sage!"
"Raising one's Soul Depth to Ancient Sage?" Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment before widening his eyes in astonishment.
The Soul Depth was the hardest to cultivate, and he had already experienced it firsthand.
If it was zhenqi cultivation, physical body cultivation, or soul cultivation, as long as one had sufficient cultivation techniques, one would be able to push for a breakthrough to the pinnacle.
It had already been several days, but he had only managed to push his Soul Depth from 28.1 to 29.99. He was still a little off from reaching 30.0 of Ancient Sage.
Even though it was only 0.01, one would have to put in a lot of effort in order to surpass it.
If the Bodhi Saint Tree could help one achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, wouldn't that mean that it wouldn't be too difficult for one to reach Ancient Sage?
