A gigantic palm shot out from the book, causing the entire underground palace to tremble as if there was an earthquake. The gigantic finger struck the barrier furiously.
Boom!
Zhang Xuan and the others subconsciously retreated several steps in the face of the powerful shockwave. Taking another look at the barrier once more, they saw that it was still completely undamaged. On the other hand, fresh blood was flowing from Vicious' five fingers.
"Master, let me try again …"
Seeing that his palm strike had failed, Vicious felt a little embarrassed.
"There's no need for that. If you make another move, the entire underground palace will probably collapse!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
At this moment, the underground palace was already on the verge of collapsing. If this were to continue, it would surely collapse. Given their strength, they wouldn't be harmed in the slightest, but the ordinary citizens of Tianxuan Kingdom above would surely be implicated.
The strength of an Ancient Sage expert was simply too great. Furthermore, the slightest lapse in control of the Dimension Shatterer realm could easily turn an area of tens of thousands of li into a living hell.
"Then what do we do now …"
"We can't break it by force. There must be another way. Even you, a cultivator in the Void-breaking Realm, can't break this barrier. Since ancient times, only Kong Shi has been able to set it up. Knowing that, the rest is easy!"
Zhang Xuan smiled.
The only reason why he had Vicious make a move was to test how much power the barrier could withstand. After testing it out, he would know that it had something to do with Kong Shi.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan infused his Celestial Master Teacher aura into it.
As a fellow Celestial Master Teacher, he might just be able to resolve the bottleneck before him.
Buzz!
His energy gushed into the barrier, and the barrier suddenly trembled. Boundless knowledge and comprehension of education gushed into his mind, allowing him to instantly gain a deeper understanding of the master teacher occupation and become even more immersed in his identity as a teacher.
It was as if in an instant, Kong Shi's education philosophy was transmitted into his mind.
"With Heaven and Earth as your teacher, you can straighten your heart, obey nature, and uphold the will of all living things …"
The voice entered his mind, like a thought, but also like his own comprehension.
A Celestial Master Teacher was a master teacher acknowledged by the heavens. While it was easy for one to start out as a Celestial Master Teacher, it was difficult for one to surpass the Celestial Master Teacher.
Just like Liu Yang, Zheng Yang, and the others, it was impossible for them to surpass him in their lifetime.
It wasn't that they were weak. Rather, the cultivation techniques they practiced were all imparted to them by him, forming a fixed pattern in their bodies. To surpass him was equivalent to overturning all of the results of their previous cultivation.
There were three thousand famous disciples of Kong Shi in the world, but none of them could surpass him. None of them had achieved the same achievement as him. From this, one could see how difficult it was.
"I understand now. I am a master teacher acknowledged by the heavens, so it's impossible for me to comprehend a law that surpasses the heavens. Since that's the case … why should I acknowledge Heaven and Earth as my master? "
Astonished, Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization. "Acknowledging you as my teacher won't allow me to make a breakthrough. Since that's the case, I'll become the teacher of the world!"
It was possible to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage with the help of Spear Quintessence, Saber Quintessence, or even Fist Quintessence. However, once the breakthrough was completed, one's strength would be fixed, and it would be nigh impossible for one to find their own path in other aspects.
Because of this, Zhang Xuan had been searching for something that belonged to him. He kept suppressing his cultivation and did not attempt to break through for more than two months.
And now, with this enlightenment in his heart, he finally had a direction.
His identity as a Celestial Master Teacher was acknowledged by the heavens, which meant that the world was sentient!
Since that was the case, why should he seek its acknowledgement instead of acknowledging it as his teacher?
If one were to acknowledge the heavens as one's teacher, one would eventually be trapped beneath the heavens, unable to surpass them. On the other hand, as the teacher of Heaven and Earth, one would be standing at the peak right from the start.
However, it isn't that easy to become a Celestial Master Teacher. I'll have to understand the world and understand its strengths and weaknesses. More importantly, I'll have to give up on my identity as a Celestial Master Teacher!
Zhang Xuan's mind raced, and it did not take long for him to determine the direction he was heading in. He immediately released his Celestial Master Teacher aura.
If he wanted to succeed, he would have to make some mistakes first.
If he wanted to store gold, he would have to throw away the silver in his pouch.
Others might be envious of a Celestial Master Teacher, but to Zhang Xuan, it was nothing much at all!
What he had relied on was his hard work, his outstanding character, and his unyielding heart. As for Celestial Master Teacher … Hehe, it was nothing more than a fleeting cloud!
Calming his mind, Zhang Xuan released the energy that he had absorbed from the fifth acknowledgement of Celestial Master Teacher. A majestic aura burst forth from his body, surging upward along the ground. In the blink of an eye, it exploded in the air, dissipating into innumerable strands of air.
Celestial Master Teacher, the acknowledgement of the heavens, made Zhang Xuan seem as if he was the embodiment of the heavens. His will floated in the air, bearing the pressure of the heavens.
…
Baijiang Empire, Mingshi Tang.
"The way of a teacher is said to be based on one's actions and one's heart. The reason why Kong Shi was able to impart his teachings to the world is due to his principle of imparting knowledge to the world without discrimination. As master teachers, you should take the responsibility of imparting knowledge to the world and pass down the strength of mankind to future generations …"
In front of the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall, the new batch of master teachers who had passed the examination stood before the hall. An elder surveyed the crowd with a grim expression on his face.
"Yes!"
The master teachers nodded.
From the moment they became master teachers, they understood their responsibility, and they couldn't back down from it.
For tens of thousands of years, Mingshi Tang had been respected by some and insulted by others, but the reason why he had been able to stand at the top of the Master Teacher Continent for so long was due to the unwavering will of his descendants.
"Very well, let's pay our respects to the ancestors now …"
Nodding his head in satisfaction, the elder was just about to step aside for the new master teachers to pay their respects to the ancestral tablets in the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall when the ground suddenly began to shake. The ancestral tablets that had been standing for countless years began to tremble.
Huala!
They collapsed uniformly, facing the same direction.
"What's going on?"
The old man's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of the memorial tablet. He saw a silhouette made of clouds and rainbows, standing at an unknown place far away, with an indomitable spirit that couldn't be seen.
The other party didn't turn his head around, but he emanated an aura that made one unable to look him in the eye.
"It's … a Celestial Master Teacher!"
The elder's body stiffened.
The only Celestial Master Teacher in the history of mankind was Kong Shi!
No matter how hard countless master teachers tried, they were unable to achieve the same feat. He had thought that no one other than him would be able to do it, but who could have thought that someone would actually be able to do it?
Putong!
Unable to hold himself back any longer, the elder kneeled onto the ground.
"The birth of a Celestial Master Teacher signifies the rise of mankind. Hurry up and kneel down!"
Looking at the dazed master teachers, the elder bellowed.
"Yes!"
Only then did the crowd recover from their shock and kneel down.
The Celestial Master Teacher, Mingshi Tang, had only been known by a small number of people in the past. But at this moment, he was being witnessed by billions of people!
The figure in the distance had his head pierced into the clouds, and his head rested on the heavens. Yet, he was pushing the heavens away with a look of disdain on his face.
Disdain for … the heavens!
