Half a year ago, the reason why Zhang Xuan had left the group to roam the world was due to the perplexity in his heart.
Kong Shi was simply too powerful. Anyone who had seen his past would find themselves fearful of him, not daring to compare themselves to him.
From an ordinary man to a powerhouse in just a few short years, he had driven the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe out of the Master Teacher Continent, sealed them in the ancient battlefield, and taught his disciples to the world.
On the other hand, Zhang Xuan knew that becoming a Heaven's Teacher was the path to becoming an Ancient Sage, but … how was he supposed to achieve it? The world was vast, and it was governed by the rules of the heavens. If Zhang Xuan couldn't understand his words, there was no way he could acknowledge him as his teacher!
The more conflicted he was, the more lost he felt. He had lost his direction and path to advance.
While this was something that all cultivators had to go through, he still couldn't get over it.
All along, he had been relying on the Library of Heaven's Path to cultivate. He had been collecting books and organizing cultivation technique manuals. He hadn't created anything of his own. While he had been improving swiftly, it had also limited his growth.
This was especially so when he had lost his cultivation technique manuals.
There were no flaws in the cultivation technique manuals he had organized, but … without a cultivation technique to refer to, he was unable to cultivate. This became his greatest flaw.
There were flaws in the heavens, and it was impossible for everything to be perfect.
Along the way, Zhang Xuan continued to observe the world.
After hearing Shen Bi Ru's words, Zhang Xuan finally came to a realization.
For the past half a year, the answer that he had been searching for didn't lie anywhere else but within himself.
All he needed to do was to be himself. There was no need for him to care about others.
Kong Shi had his own opportunities, and others had their own paths. There was no need for him to follow the same path as others. All he needed to do was to follow his heart and move forward!
There was no such thing as a perfect cultivation technique. All he needed to do was to be the perfect version of himself!
"Thank you, Shen Bi Ru!"
Feeling the changes in his body, Zhang Xuan knew that he had found the 'answer', and he could achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage now.
The surroundings were deathly silent. Even though Zhang Xuan's voice wasn't loud, it still caught the attention of many.
Hearing the voice, Shen Bi Ru's eyes widened in shock. "Zhang Shi, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Xuan disguised himself so that others wouldn't be able to recognize him. No matter how close he was, no one would be able to recognize him.
At this moment, in order to be grateful to the other party, there was no need for her to conceal her identity. Thus, with a single glance, the young lady could tell that the person before her was the teacher of Hongtian Academy two years ago, the one who was despised by everyone and whose teaching license could be revoked at any moment, Zhang Xuan!
Two years had passed, but her appearance had not changed much. The only difference was that she was taller, her skin fairer, and her eyes deeper.
"Long time no see, I've been here for my training …"
With a light chuckle, Zhang Xuan nodded and walked up the stage.
"Long time no see …"
Shen Bi Ru's body trembled.
She had thought that the two of them were worlds apart, and that it would be impossible for them to meet again. Who could have thought that they would meet again?
The other party was still the same as before, without the slightest bit of arrogance, and his smile was filled with innocence.
"Zhang Shi?"
"She said that she was a colleague of Zhang Xuan and Zhang Shi, and now, she is acting so surprised. Clearly, she's trying to say that the person before her is the World's Teacher, Zhang Shi?"
"It's one thing for her to act cool in her words, but to insult our intelligence like that is too much!"
"Indeed. She's practically rubbing our tolerance into the ground! If he is Zhang Shi, I am Mingshi Tang Pavilion Master! "
"Zhang Shi is a dragon among men. How could he possibly come to such a remote town? This woman looks beautiful, but to think that she's actually a scheming b * tch …"
…
The two of them didn't bother to conceal their conversation, and the crowd below was on the verge of exploding.
Everyone revered Zhang Shi, but at the same time, they also knew that there was a huge gap between them.
They were like two parallel lines that would never intersect.
Yet, this woman actually addressed a person as' Zhang Shi '. Didn't that mean that the person before them was Zhang Xuan?
You must be joking!
It was fine for her to act cool, but insulting Zhang Shi's reputation was an unforgivable crime!
"Impersonating Zhang Shi is a huge taboo for all master teachers in the world! He must be punished severely. Otherwise, how will Mingshi Tang be able to rule the world? "
A person in the crowd who looked like a master teacher bellowed loudly.
"That's right. Everyone, capture those two pretentious fellows!"
Another person shouted. However, before he could finish shouting, a trembling voice rang out, "Don't quarrel, look …"
The enraged crowd turned to look at the high platform in unison. Then, they saw a scene that they could not believe.
The young man impersonating Zhang Shi revealed a faint smile as he slowly rose into the air.
Just like that, he floated quietly in the air before everyone's eyes.
To be able to fly … it meant that he had reached Saint realm!
Could it be that the impersonator was a Saint realm expert?
But before the crowd could recover from their astonishment, a deafening rumble sounded in the sky, and innumerable ominous clouds shrouded the area.
The area of the ominous clouds was massive, and it didn't take long for it to envelop the entire city. Furthermore, it was still expanding, as though reaching the horizon.
"This is … a lightning tribulation?"
"How could there be such a huge lightning tribulation?"
"I heard that even the strongest Ancient Sage Ordeal only covers an area of several tens of thousands of mu … This should be several million mu or even tens of millions of mu, right?"
The crowd below was stunned, unable to say a word.
"To be able to attract such a huge lightning tribulation … could he be the real Zhang Shi?"
A voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, and everyone fell silent.
Only the real Zhang shi would be able to stir up such a huge commotion and shock the entire world.
…
In the Glacier Plain Court …
"Mother, don't worry. I'll take good care of my body. I won't act recklessly!"
A young lady who looked like an ice sculpture looked at a middle-aged woman before her with a smile.
The court chief of the Glacier Plain Court, Zhao Ya.
The woman before her was the previous generation's Holy Maiden, her mother.
After establishing her identity in the Empire Alliance, she had released her mother. Half a year ago, she had returned to the Tianxuan Kingdom and brought her father over. Ever since then, they had been living happily together.
A middle-aged man walked over and said, "You have been in seclusion for so long, not eating or drinking, cultivating nonstop … Your mother and I are afraid that you might have exhausted yourself!"
He was Zhao Ya's father, the city lord of Tianxuan Kingdom's Baiyu City, Zhao Chi!
Ever since Zhang Shi's disappearance, their daughter had gone into a frenzy to search for him. After she returned, she had immediately gone into seclusion, not eating, drinking, or resting at all … Their hearts ached for her.
Even though their daughter's current strength had already reached a level that they could only look up to, as long as she could raise her cultivation furiously, regardless of the danger, it was only a matter of time before she got into danger.
"I'm fine. I just want to wait for my teacher to return so that I can meet him with greater strength. I don't want to waste his teachings …"
Zhao Ya chuckled as she recalled the times she had spent with her teacher. Her heart was filled with strength once more, and she was just about to persuade her parents to continue her seclusion when her eyebrows suddenly shot up.
In the blink of an eye, innumerable ominous clouds had already shrouded the entire Glacier Plain Court.
