The person who had walked into the forest and tamed the beasts was none other than Zhang Xuan.
The beasts were on par with the Five Monarchs, so there was no way he would miss this opportunity. Thus, when he saw the branches whipping the apricot trees furiously, he immediately took pity on them and saved them. After which … he pummeled them himself!
As expected, the Heaven's Path zhenqi healed the apricot trees and healed their internal injuries. In an instant, the apricot trees were filled with gratitude and willingly became his tamed beasts.
Seeing the apricot trees glaring at him menacingly, seemingly ready to strike at him at any moment, Zhang Xuan did not panic. Instead, he flicked his wrist, and a jade-like tree root appeared in his palm.
Huala!
Upon seeing the tree root, the apricot trees immediately opened up a path for Zhang Xuan, as if they had seen a token.
"Wait a moment. The reason why you are so powerful is probably because you have listened to Kong Shi's lecture. Why don't I give you a lecture as well?"
Zhang Xuan sent a telepathic message to the apricot trees.
Considering how formidable the apricot trees were after listening to Kong Shi's lecture, he suspected that the latter cultivated a Heaven's Path Divine Art as well. Since the apricot trees had listened to his lecture, they should be able to tell whether his lecture was superior or not.
Through this, they would be able to better judge whether Kong Shi cultivated a Heaven's Path Divine Art or not.
Huala?
The apricot trees shook their branches in bewilderment.
We have already allowed you to pass, so why did you suddenly think of conducting a lecture?
"Humans and beasts aren't the only ones who can advance in the path of cultivation.
Paying no heed to their doubts, Zhang Xuan transmitted his voice over.
"Hulala?"
Initially, the apricot trees were perplexed by Zhang Xuan's lecture, but a moment later, they began dancing excitedly.
Zhang Xuan's lecture was as profound as Kong Shi's, and to them, it hit the nail on the head!
In other words … even though the young man before them did not look like much, he was actually able to conduct a lecture on par with Kong Shi!
While Zhang Xuan was conducting a lecture, Yan Xue and the Otherworldly Demons frowned.
They thought that the young man would be pummeled into a pulp just like the other beasts, but who could have thought that not only did the apricot trees not make a move, they were even staring blankly into space …
"He's sitting down, and he seems to be saying something. Could it be that … he's conducting a lecture?"
No one knew who shouted.
Hearing those words, the crowd noticed that the young man who was trapped in the middle of the trees was opening and closing his mouth. No one could tell what he was saying. It looked like he was giving a lecture, but at the same time, it also seemed like he was conversing with them.
Huala!
Before he could recover from his shock, a few more trees ran over. All the branches on their bodies stuck to the ground at the same time, looking pious.
"They're trees that have listened to Kong Shi's lecture … How can they behave like this when they're listening to this fellow's lecture?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
These were trees that had listened to Kong Shi's lecture, and every single one of them had reached Sempiternal realm consummation … Why would such powerful trees listen to the young man's words and behave so obediently?
Rumble!
While they were still in shock, the ground suddenly began to shake. Following which, the crowd saw the withered leaves that had fallen to the ground earlier and stood up one by one. They jogged over to the withered leaves, seemingly intoxicated by the sight.
"Even leaves can listen to lectures?"
In an instant, everyone felt as if their worldview had been overturned.
It was one thing for the trees to listen to the lecture. After all, Kong Shi had been conducting lessons here for many years, and it was understandable that the trees had developed a spirit within them. But these withered leaves … They were already on the verge of turning back into mud, and yet, they still dared to listen to his lecture? Did they have to be so exaggerated?
"These trees have all reached Sempiternal realm consummation … Why would they shed their leaves? More importantly, why would the fallen leaves wither? "
Yan Xue suddenly asked.
"This …"
The crowd behind him was stunned.
Indeed! Given how powerful the trees were, every single branch and leaf was comparable to a Great Sage artifact. No matter how the four seasons changed, it should not have affected them at all!
"Falling leaves and withering are just a formality. In other words, when spring comes, the leaves will automatically fly back to the branches instead of growing new ones!"
Yan Xue seemed to have noticed something, so he explained.
As soon as he said those words, the withered leaves that were listening to the lecture suddenly shook a little before flying back to the branches. The withered yellow leaves turned emerald green once more.
At the same time, the trees seemed to have regained their youthfulness.
"Words of Law, Words of Law, Words of Law … This is an ability that only Kong Shi possesses …"
A young man from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers suddenly thought of something, and his eyes narrowed in astonishment.
Legend had it that back when Kong Shi was out on a trip, he saw a withered ancient tree and took pity on it. Thus, he decided to conduct a lecture under the tree. A moment later, the withered tree blossomed, and new leaves sprouted from the withered tree. It even bore fruit for Kong Shi to taste.
Many of his students were astonished, and he left behind the story of 'Words of Law' …
Could it be that Kong Shi was capable of such a feat as well?
"This isn't Words of Law! The withered tree that Kong Shi is teaching is already dead, and these are all Sempiternal realm cultivators. How can they be compared to one another? "
Yan Xue gritted his teeth.
Their Hundred Schools of Philosophers had inherited the most complete heritage of Kong Shi, but it turned out that there was nothing they could do after coming here. Yet, Kong Shi was still able to pull off something so shocking every single time.
This left him feeling deeply humiliated.
"Yan Xue, these trees and leaves are currently listening to his lecture. Can we make use of this opportunity to head over? Otherwise, how long do we have to wait? "
A young man asked.
"This …"
Yan Xue hesitated for a moment.
Indeed, the greatest obstacle that stood in their way were these apricot trees. At this very moment, these apricot trees were attracted by the fellow named Zhang Xuan. To them, this was indeed a good opportunity.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Yan Xue hesitated for a moment before pointing to the person who had spoken earlier.
The young man nodded before making his way forward.
Sou sou sou!
But before he could reach Yan Xue, a whimpering sound suddenly echoed in the air. Following which, a huge bunch of leaves flew right toward him.
Pu!
In the next instant, dozens of leaves pierced into his chest, causing blood to spurt from his mouth.
With just a single blow, he was already severely injured. He did not even have the chance to retaliate!
Silence!
Not expecting the leaves to be so ferocious as well, no one dared to take a step forward.
Yan Xue's lips twitched, and he found himself unable to say a word.
He had thought that this was an opportunity, but who could have thought that these leaves would not allow him to take even half a step forward?
"The wind is picking up …"
The crowd fell silent. Just as they were at a loss as to what to do, a light breeze suddenly blew across their faces. Following which, it grew stronger and stronger, causing the leaves to flutter noisily.
The ground began trembling once more.
"Look!"
The crowd hurriedly raised their heads, only to see a brilliant glow emanating from the elevated platform not too far away. There seemed to be a figure floating in the air, and following which, a majestic voice echoed in the air.
"It's … Divine Melody! The Divine Melody is finally here! "
Yan Xue's eyes lit up, and his body trembled in agitation.
