"Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing have no choice but to stake everything on this. You are indeed in a precarious situation, but if you escape now, you will be labeled as a traitor, and you will never be able to return!"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, but he was unable to think of a better solution. Thus, he flicked his wrist and said, "This is the blood essence left behind by a Blood Reincarnation realm Ancient Sage. Assimilate it as soon as possible. If there's any danger, it'll be no different from saving your life!"
Liu Yang took the blood essence from Zhang Xuan in agitation. Without any hesitation, he swallowed it.
The energy within the blood essence immediately surged through his body. Rising to his feet, Zhang Xuan infused his zhenqi into the blood essence. An hour later, he had successfully assimilated the blood essence.
After assimilating the blood essence, Liu Yang's zhenqi slowly flowed through his body, and his strength grew stronger. However, he was still a distance away from achieving a breakthrough to Ancient Sage.
"This is a space that I have sealed. It harnesses the Aeon of Ancient Sage, and it can help you push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage. This is a cultivation technique that can raise one's Soul Depth. I'll impart it to you as well. Try your best to push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage as soon as possible. "
Zhang Xuan took out another painting.
The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was in a precarious situation, so it was best for him to reach Ancient Sage first!
Liu Yang had disguised himself as an Otherworldly Demon, and even Sovereign Chen Yong had failed to see through his disguise. This was indeed a great opportunity for him. Perhaps, he might be able to advance further on this path.
If he could gain sufficient standing amid the internal strife of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, he might even be able to gain control over the uncontrollable Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Liu Yang was deeply moved.
Even though he had only been in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe for a few months, he had already weathered countless trials and tribulations. He was no longer the arrogant and headstrong young man he had once been.
His teacher might have taken out a painting casually, but it was actually an invaluable treasure. If word were to spread, countless cultivators would fight over it. Even Ancient Sages would not be an exception.
Not only did his teacher not blame him for having such an unfilial disciple, he even bestowed such a precious gift upon him … In that instant, he felt so ashamed that he could not even speak.
"Everyone has their own opportunities, so there's no need for you to envy others. Doing so will only limit your state of mind, making it hard for you to make any progress. Eventually, your horizons will become narrower and narrower, and you'll end up just like everyone else!"
Knowing what he was thinking, Zhang Xuan explained. His voice penetrated deep into Zhang Xuan's soul.
No matter if it was a cultivator or an ordinary person, all of them had to maintain a calm state of mind. Envy, jealousy, resentment … These thoughts would only cause one's mind to be unable to calm down, and one would ultimately become a puppet of one's emotions.
Liu Yang didn't stand out among the other disciples, and adding on the fact that he had gotten himself into trouble, it was inevitable that he would feel a bit inferior. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and left, hoping that he would be able to carve out a place for himself, as well as for Zheng Yang, Zhao Ya, and the others.
This kind of emotion was good for tempering oneself. It could make one more tenacious and indomitable, but it was also very easy for one to walk into a dead end and look at things from an incomplete perspective.
Previously, when he was by her side, he didn't pay much attention to such details. Now that he was explaining it, he could also remind the other party not to blame him for going astray.
"Yes!" Liu Yang's expression was stern.
"If you want to become a true expert, you must be broad-minded. The reason why Kong Shi is invincible in the world and no one can surpass him is not because he is talented, but because he cares about the world, cares about the common people, and teaches without discrimination! There's no one in the world who is as broad-minded as him. That's also the reason why he's able to surpass the past and become the number one expert in history! "
Zhang Xuan said with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Only after entering the Temple of Confucius did he realize just how great and fearsome an expert was.
Even though his strength was unparalleled in the world, those who came after him would only speak of him in terms of imparting his knowledge to the world, not his strength. Just from this, one could see his charisma.
After lecturing for a while, Zhang Xuan finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that the knot in his student's heart had been unraveled.
The greatest flaw of his student was that he was too competitive, and he would always compete with Zheng Yang and the others.
As fellow disciples, it was natural for them to support one another. If they were to compete too much, it would be easy for them to lose their composure and cause trouble for themselves.
"I understand now!"
Coming to a realization, Liu Yang decided not to dwell on this matter anymore. With a hint of guilt in his eyes, he looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully and asked, "Teacher, why did you return to the capital alone?"
"I intend to head to Sovereign Chen Ling's palace to look for dragon blood," Zhang Xuan replied without hiding anything from his student.
"Sovereign Chen Ling's palace?" Liu Yang frowned. "Teacher, even though I haven't been there before, I know that it's heavily guarded. It's impossible for outsiders to enter!"
"I know, but there's a reason why I have to enter!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
The reason he had come to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was not to exact vengeance for Sovereign Chen Yong but to contact the Spirit God and find Lozosy.
In order to do so, he would have to possess sufficient strength. The Dragonbone Divine Spear was definitely the fastest way to raise his fighting prowess.
Seeing his teacher's attitude, Liu Yang knew that he had to enter the palace no matter what. Thus, he stood up with a deep frown on his forehead. "Sovereign Chen Ling's palace has a total of thirteen layers of defense. Even a soul oracle won't be able to enter. Even an Ancient Sage might not be able to succeed if we barge in forcefully. More importantly, we don't even know where the dragon blood is. If we barge in forcefully, it'll be difficult for us to find it again. "
Putting aside the fact that he was lacking in strength, if he were to be captured, he would surely die. Besides, the dragon blood was only a rumor. If he barged in forcefully without knowing where it was, he could very well make a mistake.
"I have to find a way to sneak in first!" Zhang Xuan had pondered over this matter many times, and he had already come up with a plan in mind. "Only by sneaking into Sovereign Chen Ling's palace will I be able to find an opportunity!"
Even though the Library of Heaven's Path was powerful, he had to see it first before he could discover any flaws.
Barging into Sovereign Chen Ling's palace without knowing anything about it was definitely the behavior of a reckless fool.
"Help me look into the matter and see if there are any good opportunities in the near future. For example, did he find a physician to treat his injuries from Sovereign Chen Yong? "
Being pierced by Vicious' arm had damaged the very foundation of Sovereign Chen Ling's cultivation. Even though he was unable to hear any news regarding Sovereign Chen Ling's condition, he could deduce that it was unlikely for him to recover that quickly.
In other words, there was a good chance that Sovereign Chen Ling was still undergoing treatment, and he might need the help of a physician.
If so, he would have a chance to sneak into the palace.
"I'll look into it!"
Seeing that his teacher had already made up his mind, Liu Yang turned around and left.
Having spent several months in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and being the most favored successor of Sovereign Chen Yong, he already had his own intelligence network.
In less than two hours, he returned.
"Teacher is right. Sovereign Chen Ling's palace is indeed recruiting physicians, but they aren't looking for physicians …"
There was a bizarre look on Liu Yang's face, as if he could hardly believe what he had just heard.
"They aren't looking for physicians? What is it then? "
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Since Sovereign Chen Ling was severely injured, he would surely require the treatment of a physician. It was unlikely that it would be easy for an ordinary cultivator to treat him. Most likely, a consultation would be required.
If there was, he could make use of this opportunity to sneak into the palace.
"That's right …" Liu Yang paused for a moment before continuing. "They are recruiting appraisers!"
…
