Miryu Empire.
At this moment, the shattered ground and buildings of the Cleansing Lake had already been repaired. Even though the spiritual energy in the lake was no longer as concentrated as before, it was gradually recovering, and it was regaining its vitality.
By the side, a massive stone tablet was erected. On it were five huge words inscribed — Spot where Yang shi threw his shoe!
The words were as vast as the ocean, and one couldn't help but be enchanted by it. With a single look, one could tell that it was left behind by a 5-star grandmaster painter.
Not too far away from the stone tablet was the spot where Zhang Xuan threw his shoe from the fire dragon a few days ago.
The purpose of throwing the shoe was to find the intersection point of the energies; the shoe wasn't necessary.
That shoe had already been taken away by the Miryu Empire for safekeeping, and in its place was a stabilizing formation flag.
With the formation flag, the conflicting spiritual energy would be balanced out, and energy would flow endlessly into the Cleansing Lake to groom more talents.
It could be said that the Miryu Empire had profited from its misfortune.
A person who seemed to be a historian was currently recording down the words. "Miryu Empire, Heaven Seeking Year 67, Winter. Conflict of spiritual energy at the Verdant Mountain, Dragon-scaled River, and earth vein destroyed the Cleansing Lake. In an attempt to destroy the capital, Yang shi stepped on air and resolved the crisis with a single shoe... "
Just as he was writing, the water in the lake suddenly surged, and the chime of a bell reverberated. A hundred birds flew into the sky, obscuring the sun.
"What happened?"
"I don't know..."
...
Upon seeing this sight, the guards in the surroundings were perplexed.
"Hall Master Wei, what's going on?"
Emperor Ye Wentian, who hadn't left yet, walked out of his room upon hearing the commotion. He turned to Hall Master Wei Jiang and asked.
"Hundred birds in celebration, ten thousand birds cry... Someone has obtained a Celestial Occupation!"
Hall Master Wei was taken aback. He recalled the records in the books.
"Celestial Occupation? You mean, a rank recognized by the heavens? "
Ye Wentian was taken aback.
Celestial Occupation meant that even the heavens recognized one's rank and contribution to the occupation. Those who were able to cause such a commotion were all geniuses among geniuses, and their futures were limitless.
For such a situation to occur here, didn't it mean that an incredible genius had appeared in the Miryu Empire?
"Yes!"
Hall Master Wei nodded his head and said, "Celestial Occupation is a blessing from the heavens... Don't worry, I'll go back and look into it right now!"
"Un, that's what I should do. Once I find out the truth, I'll have to pay a visit to that genius personally …"
Ye Wentian quickly replied.
"Alright!" Without any hesitation, Hall Master Wei leaped onto the back of the aerial spirit beast and flew toward Mingshi Tang. However, before he could even enter the hall, an elder suddenly rushed over anxiously with a fearful look on his face.
"Hall master, bad news... The Teacher Acknowledgement Hall has collapsed, and all of the ancestral tablets... have fallen!"
"The Teacher Acknowledgement Hall has collapsed?"
Pavilion Master Wei was taken aback for a moment before a thought came to his mind. His eyes narrowed, and his body trembled in disbelief. "The Trembling of the Myriad Tokens and the chiming of the bell... Could the occupation that has just been acknowledged be... Celestial Master Teacher?"
Celestial Master Teacher was a title that only Empyrean Kong Shi had received before. Even his direct disciples, Cheng Sheng and Cheng Zu, had never received such an honor before.
For such a grand occasion to occur in the Miryu Empire, Mingshi Tang... Who in the world could it be?
"Could it be... Yang shi?"
Suddenly, a figure surfaced in Pavilion Master Wei's mind.
If there was anyone who could receive such an honor, it could only be that unfathomable figure, Yang Xuan, whom even Pavilion Master Mo had to keep quiet about!
That elder had descended from the sky, and his imposing aura was deeply ingrained in Pavilion Master Wei's mind.
"Inform all of the master teachers to not hear of this matter, not ask about it, and not speak of it! Anyone who disobeys this order shall be stripped of their master teacher license! "
Recalling Pavilion Master Mo's instructions, Pavilion Master Wei hurriedly issued the command.
Regardless of whether the other party was Yang Xuan or not, the matter of a Celestial Master Teacher was a huge matter. No one dared to speak of it, or else... they would surely be in deep trouble.
Besides, there was only one Celestial Master Teacher, Kong Shi. No one could say for sure what would happen to the other party. Thus, they weren't too sure whether the other party was a Celestial Master Teacher or not.
"Yes!"
Even though the elder was perplexed, he still nodded his head and left, not daring to ask any further.
...
Myriad Kingdom City.
Stretching her back lazily, Zhao Feiwu walked out of her room.
After being in seclusion for more than a month, her entire body had stiffened.
However, she knew that this was the only way she could catch up to that person's footsteps. Even so, the gap between them would only grow larger and larger.
"You're done cultivating? Not bad, not bad. You've improved greatly recently!"
Pavilion Master Kang walked over, took a look, and nodded his head in satisfaction.
Before Zhang Shi left, he had entrusted Zhao Feiwu to him, and without any hesitation, he focused on guiding her. In the past month, the latter had indeed improved greatly.
Hong long!
Just as Pavilion Master Kang was about to continue speaking, the ground suddenly trembled. The chime of a bell in the direction of Mingshi Tang suddenly sounded.
"This is... Celestial Master Teacher? Another Celestial Master Teacher? "
Pavilion Master Kang widened his eyes in shock.
The other party had just come a while ago, why would he be here again?
Since when did the highly anticipated Celestial Master Teacher that no one had managed to achieve become so frequent?
"Could it be Zhang Shi?"
Zhao Feiwu was taken aback as well. Recalling her interactions with the young man, she couldn't help but ask.
"Zhang Shi? That's impossible. Zhang Shi has already gone to the Miryu Empire, which is more than a million kilometers away from here. How could it be him? "Pavilion Master Kang shook his head.
Even if a Celestial Master Teacher was a Celestial Master Teacher, there was a limit to its range. If Zhang Shi wasn't in Myriad Kingdom City, how could he possibly cause such a huge commotion at Mingshi Tang?
"I've read in an ancient book that when Kong Shi became a Celestial Nine Stars Master Teacher, the entire continent celebrated. Phoenixes and dragons galloped, and the sky lit up for three consecutive months... Could it be that the higher the rank of a Celestial Master Teacher, the greater the range of the commotion?"
Zhao Feiwu analyzed.
Even though she wasn't a master teacher, she had been reading books since young. On top of that, she had a vast collection of books in the Alliance Master Teacher Continent, so her knowledge wasn't inferior to that of Pavilion Master Kang.
"This..." Pavilion Master Kang was taken aback.
A Celestial 1 Star Master Teacher was different from a Nine Stars Master Teacher.
Could it be that this commotion was really caused by that fellow?
...
Xuanyuan Kingdom.
Dressed in a luxurious robe, Mo Yu sat on the throne.
After several months of consolidation, the entire kingdom was already under her control. No one dared to say a word anymore.
Especially after the news of Zhang Shi passing the 4-star master teacher examination and becoming the champion of the Master Teacher Tournament, no one dared to say a word anymore.
Everyone knew that this Emperor Mo Yu had a close relationship with Zhang Shi. If anyone dared to oppose her, putting aside the royal family, even Mingshi Tang would surely step in and teach her a lesson.
Dang dang dang dang!
Just as they were listening to the reports of the officials, a resounding bell chimed from Mingshi Tang's territory.
"This..." Mo Yu stood up, and the other officials also turned their gazes over.
All of the master teachers in Xuanyuan Kingdom were rushing over to Mingshi Tang's territory.
For a moment, all of them were bewildered.
...
The same sight was also occurring in Tianwu Kingdom, Tianxuan Kingdom, and so on.
It could be said that the same thing was happening in all of the territories under Miryu Empire, Mingshi Tang.
Most people had no idea what was going on, and even if they did, they had no idea who was the culprit.
At this moment, the culprit, Zhang Xuan, suddenly stood up.
Just like the previous time, his cultivation was still at Consonant Spirit realm pinnacle, but his comprehension of cultivation and battle techniques had deepened.
Not only had his fighting prowess increased, his soul and physical body had also become more compatible.
"Even if I'm still unable to defeat a Perfect Harmonization realm intermediate stage expert, I should be able to defeat them at primary stage!"
Sensing the changes in his strength and his comprehension of it, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
Even though the acknowledgement of a Celestial Master Teacher didn't raise one's cultivation, it allowed one to broaden one's state of mind and sharpen one's perception.
One's understanding of things wouldn't be limited to the surface.
It was precisely due to his previous two experiences that he was much calmer and more composed than Luo Qiqi when facing the puppets.
"My Soul Depth has actually increased by 3.0!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Compared to the previous two times, his Soul Depth had increased by a lot. It had directly risen to 3.0.
In other words, his current Soul Depth had reached 19.1, which was on par with 6-star master teachers!
To possess a Soul Depth of a 6-star master teacher at the age of twenty, this was a frightening feat!
Raising one's Soul Depth by 3.0 was equivalent to raising one's cultivation by a master teacher. Without several decades of hard work, it would be nigh impossible for anyone else to achieve such a feat.
With the increase in his Soul Depth, his Impartation of Heaven's Will and Eye of Insight had become even more fearsome.
Previously, the Eye of Insight could easily see through existences two small realms above him, but now, it had increased to three.
His current zhenqi cultivation was at Consonant Spirit realm pinnacle. In other words, even if a Cosmos Bridge realm advanced stage cultivator were to come over, he would still be able to see through the flaws of his moves without using the Library of Heaven's Path.
The Impartation of Heaven's Will was even more fearsome. Even a 6-star low-tier or even a middle-tier master teacher would be beguiled by it, rendering them unable to tell which direction they were heading.
"The greatest reward I have gained from the acknowledgement of Celestial Master Teacher isn't my Soul Depth, Impartation of Heaven's Will, or the Eye of Insight but … Thoughts of Void!"
Taking a look at his physical body, Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly in agitation.
The acknowledgement of Celestial Master Teacher had allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of master teachers, but what left him the happiest was that his physical body had gained the ability of Thoughts of Void as well.
Thoughts of Void meant that one's physical body would be able to act according to its inertia even without the control of one's soul or will.
Just like back at the Cleansing Lake, if one's soul were to leave one's body, one would be unable to enter it for a short period of time. As a result, one would be unable to move at all, just like a corpse!
But things were different now!
With this ability of Thoughts of Void, even if one's soul was no longer in one's body, one's physical body would still be able to continue cultivating and even … fight!
In other words … even without a soul, one's physical body would still be able to fight autonomously. In fact, through muscle memory, one's reflexes would be even faster than before!
If he were to meet that puppet once more, his physical body, soul, and clone would be able to split into three parts, thus increasing his fighting prowess by more than twofold!
"That's great! With this ability, not only can I multitask, I can even multitask with no problem!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was feeling that he had benefited greatly from the acknowledgement of Luo Qiqi, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.
