In order to become a master teacher, one had to undergo all kinds of examinations. Only after passing the examinations would one be able to obtain the acknowledgement of the Mingshi Tang Guild, receive the emblem, and be respected by others.
This was the most normal procedure.
However, there were also some geniuses who were born with abilities that countless master teachers didn't possess.
Due to their outstanding abilities, it was impossible for them to undergo the examinations step by step. Naturally, there was no way for them to be ranked.
Take the founder of the Mingshi Tang Guild, Kong Shi, for example. Since he was the one who created the Mingshi Tang Guild, who was qualified to take his examination?
Such a person would receive the acknowledgement of the heavens and be bestowed the title of [Celestial Master Teacher]!
Celestial Master Teachers were acknowledged by the heavens. Even without undergoing the examinations, they would automatically become a master teacher and receive the acknowledgement of others...
After all, who would dare to deny the acknowledgement of the heavens?
Such a genius only existed in legends. Back then, only Kong Shi had achieved such a feat. Who could have thought that someone in their guild would succeed!
Celestial Master Teachers were already frightening, and countless people dreamed of becoming one. Yet, even Kong Shi's statue was trembling...
This was even more infuriating!
According to the records, Kong Shi had left a sliver of his will on the statue. As long as there was someone whom he was willing to accept as his disciple, the statue would tremble.
Every single member of the Mingshi Tang Guild treated this as a rule and strictly obeyed it.
However, there had never been a single case in the past. In other words, no one was able to receive Kong Shi's acknowledgement, and no one was able to become his disciple.
Never would they have thought that at the instant when the 'Celestial Master Teacher' was acknowledged, the statue would tremble. In other words... Kong Shi had acknowledged this person and wanted to accept him as his disciple!
If Kong Shi were to accept a disciple, that would mean... the disciple of a Sage!
Celestial Kong Shi had taken in countless disciples throughout his life, and it was said that there were more than three thousand of them.
However, with the passage of time, these people had already passed away. Even the most formidable Nine Stars master teacher could only be considered a descendant of a descendant, a junior of a junior.
To become a disciple of a Sage, just based on his standing, even a Nine Stars master teacher would have to address him respectfully as elder or ancestor!
To think that such a powerful figure would appear in their guild...
Once news of this spread, the entire world would definitely go crazy.
Who was it?
Mo Hongyi? Zhang Xuan?
Or was it everyone present?
The Teacher Acknowledgement Hall of the Master Teacher Guild would only display the news, but it was unable to verify the identity of the person who had received the award.
Thus, even though the crowd was shocked, they did not know who exactly was so lucky as to be favored by Kong Shi.
"However … the news of the Sage accepting a disciple has spread far and wide. I'm afraid that this matter won't be able to be kept a secret for long …"
Pavilion Master Jiang muttered to himself.
Even if he didn't know who it was, it would be hard to hide the news.
A Sage accepting a disciple would initially cause a huge commotion within the corresponding guild, but once it was confirmed, the news would immediately spread throughout the entire Master Teacher Continent. Every single kingdom and Master Teacher Guild would receive the news.
At that time, there would definitely be a scene of tens of thousands of countries worshipping and hundreds of millions of sects coming to congratulate.
If it really happened, that person wouldn't be able to hide it even if he wanted to.
"That's right. Our Guild's name is going to shake the world …"
"That's amazing. Kong Shi has disappeared for so many years. Is he going to accept another disciple?"
…
The eyes of the master teachers lit up in excitement.
However …
But before he could finish his words, the Kong Shi sculpture suddenly stopped moving. Kacha! With a loud jolt, it cracked open from the middle.
Upon seeing this sight, everyone was stunned once more. Pavilion Master Jiang widened his eyes in shock.
"This is …"
"Kong Shi wanted to accept a disciple, but he was … rejected?"
Complete silence.
Everyone looked as though they had seen a ghost.
Since a teacher could choose his students, naturally, the students could choose their teachers as well.
Even though Kong Shi was the teacher of the world, a celestial being, and he wanted to accept a disciple, he had to see whether the other party was willing or not. If the other party wasn't willing, he couldn't force the other party either.
The trembling of the sculpture meant that it agreed to accept the other party as his student. Yet, it shattered right after that … It meant that the other party rejected his offer!
Rejected becoming Kong Shi's student?
The heck!
Who in the world is this incredible person?
To even reject his offer to become his student, can you … be any more incredible?
…
In the small classroom.
Zhang Xuan was focused on absorbing the unique energy descending from the heavens.
As soon as the energy entered his body, it fused perfectly with his soul, allowing him to see things more clearly.
"This is the reward for Insight …"
After reading through the books on Mingshi Tang, Zhang Xuan came to a realization.
It wasn't spirit energy or zhenqi, but the energy of Insight!
To become a master teacher, one had to possess the State of Insight.
In order to raise one's Soul Depth, one had to absorb this unique energy of Insight.
Back then, Zhao Ya's father, Zhao Chi, had given him an Enlightenment Jade that contained this kind of energy. Because he had absorbed it, his Soul Depth had returned to 0.1.
"Absorb!"
Even though Zhang Xuan was shocked, he didn't stop.
He had used the golden page to raise his Soul Depth, but he had never cultivated any secret manuals or cultivation techniques. Even so, he knew how valuable it was.
To a master teacher, it was a priceless treasure.
Tzzzzzzzz!
The power of insight was continuously absorbed into his body, and his Soul Depth slowly increased.
After an unknown period of time.
His body jolted and he came to a halt.
"It's gone …"
Looking around, Zhang Xuan knew that the energy had been completely absorbed. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. Flicking his wrist, a Stone of Insight appeared in his palm.
He willed it.
A line of words appeared on it.
11.1！
"After absorbing for so long, his Soul Depth only increased by 1.0?"
Zhang Xuan's lips twitched.
He thought that after absorbing so much energy of Insight, his Soul Depth would increase by around ten. Yet, to think that it only increased by 1.0!
That was too lousy!
If others were to know of his thoughts, they would definitely rush over and strangle him to death.
Other people had to put in a lot of effort just to increase their Soul Depth by 0.1.
Yet, he still wasn't satisfied with increasing his Soul Depth by 1.0 …
Of course, if one were to know that he could raise his Soul Depth by 5.0 with the golden page, they would probably think differently.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan tossed aside the frustration in his heart. Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked ahead.
Innumerable lines flowed through his eyes, revealing the most fundamental features of everything before him.
Under his gaze, a saber on the weapon rack turned into a lump of steel. Following which, an illusory figure hammered the saber, slowly changing its shape and form.
It was as though he could tell the forging process, grade, and flaws of the saber with just a glance.
Behind the table not too far away, there was the illusory figure of a towering tree. Following which, it was chopped down and forged …
"This is …"
A name surfaced in his mind. Zhang Xuan's eyes widened in shock, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Eye of Insight!
It was said that by exhausting their Soul Depth, powerful master teachers were able to obtain the Eye of Insight, allowing them to see through the essence of things, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of battle techniques and cultivation techniques.
It was just like how Zhang Xuan disguised himself as' Liu Cheng 'using a human skin mask. Even Zhizun realm experts might not be able to see through his disguise, but those who possessed the Eye of Insight were able to see through his disguise.
This was precisely the reason why the higher the rank of a master teacher, the more fearsome they were.
Even with just a glance, they would be able to see through the crux of the problem and provide guidance.
Just that …
"Isn't it said that only 6-star master teachers are qualified to comprehend the Eye of Insight? What's going on? "
Confirming that it was the same as the Eye of Insight recorded in the books, Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Based on the records, only 6-star master teachers were qualified to comprehend such a formidable talent.
How could someone who wasn't even 2-star possess it?
Hong long!
Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, his vision blurred, and his consciousness seemed to have been pulled into a chaotic space by a powerful force.
Following which, an elder with a snowy white beard walked over, and a benevolent voice sounded in his mind.
"I wish to take you in as my student. Are you willing?"
"Take me in as your student?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback. Then, he shook his head. "I'm not willing!"
You must be joking! With the Library of Heaven's Path, he was able to find the crux of any problem and find the flaws in it. In his view, there was no need for a teacher in the eyes of others.
Even if it was a 4-star or 5-star master teacher, how could his guidance compare to that of the Library of Heaven's Path?
How could his cultivation compare to that of the Heaven's Path Divine Art?
Besides, the other party had infiltrated his mind without him noticing. Who knew if it was a good thing or a bad thing?
It was better to be safe than sorry.
After all, someone had just poisoned his tea, intending to harm him.
Hu!
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, his body jolted once more. Only then did he realize that he was still in the small classroom. The previous scene seemed to have been a dream.
"Illusory formation? No, there's no formation here. Otherwise, the library would have noticed it long ago … Could it be something similar to the Trust Stone? "
Recovering from his daze, Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
When Zhao Ya and the others tested their Trust Stone, their consciousness would enter an illusion, and they would experience all kinds of situations to test their cooperation with their teacher.
Could it be that he had encountered such a situation earlier as well?
Otherwise, why would a fool appear out of nowhere and want to take him in as his student?
What the heck? If you want to take me in as your student, shouldn't you at least tell me who you are? How could you make me fall into an illusion so discreetly? Aren't you being too immoral?
Harrumphing coldly, Zhang Xuan categorized the old man as shameless.
Of course, if he were to know that the old man was Empyrean Kong Shi and intended to take him in as his student, his identity and standing would have undergone a qualitative change if he had agreed to it …
Perhaps, he would spurt blood and die from frustration.
"Even without the examination, I'm still a true master teacher. No one will be able to refute my words …"
Not thinking about that immoral old man, Zhang Xuan clenched his fists in excitement.
Through reading the books, he realized that he had unintentionally comprehended the true meaning of 'teacher and student', thus obtaining the acknowledgement of the heavens and becoming a Celestial Master Teacher!
In other words, even without the examination, he was still a true master teacher. There was no need for him to disguise himself anymore.
"However … Celestial Master Teacher is too eye-catching. I'll just take the examination step by step. In any case, I'm just one step away …"
Even though Zhang Xuan was excited, he knew that it was best not to let others know about it.
The acknowledgement of a Celestial Master Teacher was simply too shocking. If news of it were to spread, he would be in deep trouble.
Keeping a low profile was the way to go.
No matter what, I, Zhang Xuan … have always kept a low profile …
