League of Nations, Mingshi Tang.
A gray-robed elder stood at the very front. His gentle voice reverberated in the surroundings, stirring the spiritual energy in the surroundings, as though a blooming flower.
Gathering spiritual energy with one's words, creating a lotus with one's mouth.
This was an ability that only 5-star master teachers possessed!
Right before him were rows of elders dressed in master teacher robes. All of them sat upright, listening intently to Zhang Xuan's lecture.
Weng!
After which, the gray-robed elder stood with his hands behind his back.
"That's all for today. If you have any questions, feel free to raise them!"
Pavilion Master Kang stood up and said with a smile, "Hong Shi, you've worked hard to conduct a lecture right after coming from such a faraway place. We are deeply grateful for your help!"
Hong Shi, a 5-star master teacher from Hongfeng Empire's Mingshi Tang Pavilion, had been invited here to host the Master Teacher Tournament.
"It is the responsibility of us master teachers to ensure that all cultivators are capable of achieving greatness. There's no need to speak of it as hard work!" The gray-robed elder, Hong Shi, nodded.
"Yes!" Pavilion Master Kang nodded. Just as he was about to speak, the ground suddenly trembled, and four chimes sounded.
"Four chimes, someone is crashing the pavilion? To think that I would encounter such an interesting matter the moment I arrive! "Hong Shi chuckled.
There was a saying behind how many chimes the Mingshi Tang Pavilion could occur. Four consecutive chimes indicated that someone was crashing the pavilion.
Even though crashing a pavilion was equivalent to challenging the entire Mingshi Tang Pavilion, there were still many people who wanted to give it a try every year. After all, if one were to succeed, one's name would surely spread far and wide.
A master teacher wasn't just about having a 'teacher', but a 'reputation' as well. Many of the younger generation were willing to take the risk in order to make a name for themselves.
Of course, pavilion crashing was the same as challenging a master teacher. While success would bring great benefits, failure would also bring great punishment.
"Wu shi, go and investigate which branch this matter is related to!"
Frowning, Pavilion Master Kang gestured grandly.
Hong Shi couldn't help but feel embarrassed to encounter such a situation the moment he arrived.
"Yes!" The elder named Wu Shi left the room, and not too long later, he returned. "Reporting to Pavilion Master and Hong Shi, it's news from Xuanyuan Conferred Kingdom under the League of Nations."
"Xuanyuan Kingdom?"
Hong Shi was taken aback for a moment before raising his head slightly. Stroking his beard, he said, "I have stayed in that place for a period of time. My 3-star master teacher examination was conducted there!"
"Now that Hong Shi mentioned it, I remember now. You did come from there. Even though you only stayed there for less than three years, you were able to suppress countless great teachers until they couldn't raise their heads!"
After pondering for a moment, Pavilion Master Kang said.
Even though the Hong Shi before him had gone to Hongfeng Empire, granting him an even more esteemed standing, he was still from Xuanyuan Kingdom a hundred years ago. As such, he had a deep relationship with the League of Nations.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through the trouble of traveling from such a faraway empire to spectate the Master Teacher Tournament personally.
"Yes, the past is like the wind, not worth mentioning. If I'm not wrong, this person who intends to challenge the Mingshi Tang of Xuanyuan Kingdom is probably going to suffer! " Hong Shi chuckled. "I left a sliver of my will here. Putting aside ordinary cultivators, even 4-star master teachers would find it difficult to pass through."
"Hong Shi left a sliver of his will here? It won't be easy for him to clear it... "
Pavilion Master Kang was taken aback for a moment before he smiled bitterly.
Pavilion crashing didn't mean that one had to defeat all of the master teachers in the Mingshi Tang. More importantly, one had to answer the questions posed by the wills of the predecessors.
As a 5-star master teacher, Hong Shi possessed astounding means. Since he had left a sliver of his will in Xuanyuan Kingdom's Mingshi Tang, who would be able to clear it?
Putting aside a person from a Conferred Kingdom, even he, the hall master of the Mingshi Tang of the Alliance of Kingdoms, would have to go through a lot of trouble to succeed.
"Some youngsters hope to make a name for themselves through pavilion crashing. How can it be that easy?"
Replying, Hong Shi's thoughts drifted into the Gate of Memories. "In Xuanyuan Kingdom's Mingshi Tang, not only did it produce a 5-star master teacher like me, there were three 4-star master teachers who had left their wills there as well. If one wishes to reach me, one would have to clear their three tests first!"
"These three tests should be sufficient to deter the other party..."
Pavilion Master Kang nodded. Just as he was about to continue speaking, the ground suddenly trembled once more, and the bell rang five times consecutively.
"This... Pavilion crashing succeeded?"
In an instant, everyone froze on the spot.
It had only been ten minutes since the pavilion crashing started, and the other party had already cleared the wills of three 4-star master teachers and a 5-star master teacher...
Wasn't this speed a little too fast?
The grim-faced Hong Shi also froze on the spot.
"Quick, investigate... Who in the world is that person?"
A moment later, his lips trembled, and he hurriedly spoke.
To clear the problem left behind by his wills in just ten minutes... How in the world did he do it?
The entire Mingshi Tang burst into an uproar.
...
Hu!
The Mingshi Tang of the Alliance of Nations had caused a huge commotion, but no one in Xuanyuan Kingdom was aware of it. At this moment, Luo Qianhong was staring at the pitch-black Master Teacher Tower with a helpless expression.
There were several steps to pavilion crashing. Firstly, one had to defeat all of the master teachers in the Mingshi Tang.
Since he wasn't a match for the other party, there was no point in fighting. Thus, he opened the Master Teacher Tower as soon as he arrived.
The wills of the predecessors were left behind here, and in order to succeed in pavilion crashing, one had to walk from the bottom of the tower to the top and extinguish the lights in the tower.
Now that all of the lights in the tower had been extinguished, it meant that... Zhang Xuan had cleared all of the floors and successfully crashed the pavilion.
Jiya!
A young man walked out from the tower.
Lifting his head to look at the young man before him, Luo Qianhong shook his head.
Given the other party's outstanding performance on the Heaven's Altar, he had guessed that the other party would succeed, but... he didn't expect it to be so fast.
To clear all of the wills left behind by a 5-star master teacher and three 4-star master teachers in just ten minutes... Even a 5-star master teacher wouldn't be able to do it so easily!
What kind of monster was the other party?
"Zhang Shi has successfully crashed the pavilion. Our Xuanyuan Kingdom Mingshi Tang admits defeat and is willing to listen to all of your instructions."
Stepping forward, Luo Qianhong clasped his fist.
As the loser of the pavilion crashing, he had to agree to the other party's request.
"I need books and medicinal herbs that can awaken slumbering souls!"
Zhang Xuan.
Wreaking havoc on the Heaven's Altar and killing Crown Prince Ding Mu, all of this was to exact vengeance for Lu Chong.
"Does Zhang Shi intend to awaken your student?" Luo Qianhong couldn't help but ask.
While Zhang Xuan was crashing the pavilion, Luo Qianhong had managed to find out the details of the matter. While feeling stifled over hearing Ding Mu's lies, his respect for Zhang Shi also grew.
His student was willing to die, this wasn't something that an ordinary teacher-student relationship could achieve.
On the other hand, for his student, his teacher didn't hesitate to offend the Mingshi Tang and wreak havoc in a Conferred Kingdom... This was more than enough to show his feelings for the other party.
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
"Slumbering souls... Truth be told, even though our Mingshi Tang isn't weak, we aren't qualified to come into contact with such matters. Unless..."
At this point, Luo Qianhong hesitated for a moment.
"Pavilion Master Luo, feel free to speak." Seeing the other party's hesitation, Zhang Xuan looked at him.
"Unless one is a Seven Star master teacher, one will be able to affect one's consciousness and search one's soul! Or... find the heritage of the ancient soul oracles! "Luo Qianhong said.
"Soul oracles? What's that? "
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Seven Star master teachers were able to search one's soul and awaken one's slumbering consciousness. He had heard of this from Mo Yu, but he had never heard of soul oracles before.
After reading so many books and comprehending so much knowledge, there wasn't a single record of it.
"Soul oracles are a unique occupation that existed in the ancient times. It is extremely bizarre, and I have only heard of it from my predecessors. It is said that those in this occupation use sorcery to summon spirits and gather them. In fact, they are even able to gather yin spirits. Of course, this occupation has been lost for more than ten thousand years, and it is only a legend. No one knows whether it possesses such abilities. "
Luo Qianhong pondered for a moment before replying.
"It's easy to determine whether it's a legend or not!"
Flicking his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out a book and casually wrote a line of words on it. Then, grabbing it with his hand, he muttered 'flaws' in his mind.
Weng!
Since he was unable to determine whether it was right or wrong, he decided to use this method.
The Library of Heaven's Path. Under the heavens, there was nothing one could hide from. Using it to determine the answer was much more accurate and useful than any other information.
Flipping it open, Zhang Xuan's breathing hastened and he clenched his fists tightly.
There was only a line of words on the blank page, 'Soul oracles are able to summon spirits and gather them.' Furthermore, the book in his mind didn't show any errors.
In other words...
This was right!
To think that there was really a soul oracle occupation in the world, and one that could alter one's soul.
"Hall Master Luo, do you know... where can I find the heritage of the soul oracles? Or any books on the occupation? "
Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Zhang Xuan asked.
As long as he could find the relevant books, he would be able to compile a Heaven's Path Manual and learn the occupation. As for whether it was lost or not, it didn't matter to him.
"I don't know about the heritage of the soul oracles, but... I heard that a [Soulless Metal Humanoid] was excavated in Honghai City of the League of Nations, and it will be auctioned off in the next few days. This artifact was forged by the soul oracles. If there really is a heritage, you should be able to find some clues from it. "
After pondering for a moment, Luo Qianhong said.
"Honghai City?" Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
A map of the League of Nations surfaced in his mind, and Honghai City appeared before his eyes.
Even though the Myriad Kingdom Alliance was known as an alliance, it was actually equivalent to a kingdom. In other words, it was a country within a country.
The leader of the alliance was equivalent to the king.
Honghai City was one of the major cities in the alliance, and it was on par with the Myriad Kingdom City of the alliance.
"Honghai City is the trading center of the entire League of Nations. The Soulless Metal Humanoid is a unique puppet forged by the ancient soul oracles to protect themselves. Since it appeared there, perhaps we might be able to find something. "
Luo Qianhong said.
Even though soul oracles were an elusive existence, they were still more reliable than Seven Star Master Teachers.
A Seven Star Master Teacher could be considered to be standing at the pinnacle of the world. Putting aside him, even the experts of the League of Nations had never seen such a figure before. How could they possibly help an insignificant figure save his student?
"Un!"
After hearing the explanation, Zhang Xuan came to a decision. "Since we're heading to the Myriad Kingdom City anyway, let's take a look at Honghai City!"
