Conferred Empires were a tier higher than Tier-1 Empires, and they had Seven Star master teachers in their ranks.
Despite the young man's brazen roar, King Huai didn't get angry and even tried to mediate the situation. This meant that the other party's standing was extremely high.
If the other party was really from a Conferred Empire, then everything would make sense.
Take Princess Yu Fei-er and Xing Yuan for example, even Ye Wentian had to tread carefully when they went to Miryu Empire.
"That's right!"
The elder chuckled. "Despite his young age, Zhang Shi's Soul Depth has already surpassed that of an ordinary 6-star master teacher. Even among the master teachers I have met, he can be considered as one of the strongest. He is indeed a young hero!"
"Surpassed that of an ordinary 6-star master teacher?"
Duke Huai was stunned and jumped in fright.
He had sent his men to look into Zhang Xuan, and the other party was only a 4-star master teacher in Miryu Empire. At most, he would be a half 5-star master teacher. He thought that it would take many years for the other party to achieve greatness, but who could have known that his Soul Depth had already reached such a high level?
Soul Depth was the hardest to cultivate.
Many people failed the master teacher examination despite reaching a certain level in their cultivation due to their lacking Soul Depth.
The young man before him possessed a high Soul Depth despite his low cultivation. This meant that as long as he was given sufficient time, he would surely become a 6-star master teacher.
If such a person was allowed to grow, his name would surely resound throughout the world. It seemed like he would have to befriend him.
Hearing the other party's evaluation, Zhang Xuan frowned.
His Soul Depth was 19.1, and without the Stone of Insight, even a 6-star master teacher wouldn't be able to see through it. Yet, the other party was able to say it so easily. The other party's eye of discernment and cultivation were truly fearsome.
With a grim expression, Zhang Xuan clasped his fist and said, "Elder Yuan, thank you for your praise!"
"Cultivation and talent, there's no way I can praise you unfairly! Since Zhang Shi's surname is Zhang, may I know if he is related to the Zhang Clan of the Sage Clan? "Elder Yuan asked doubtfully.
"Sage Clan? Zhang Clan? "Zhang Xuan shook his head." I don't know them, so it doesn't matter! "
He was an orphan and a transcender, so he had never heard of any Sage Clan or Zhang Clan.
"No problem?"
Elder Yuan was taken aback for a moment before he smiled. "Regardless of whether you are related or not, to be able to cultivate your Soul Depth to such an incredible level at the age of twenty, as well as to be able to do things calmly and without arrogance, it's no wonder young master Tao thinks so highly of you and only recognizes you as his teacher, unwilling to give up on you no matter what!"
"Young Master Tao?" Zhang Xuan frowned. "You mean … Yuan Tao?"
He only had a few students, and the other party's surname was Yuan, so it wasn't difficult for him to guess.
But … wasn't Yuan Tao an orphan? Did he grow up in Tianxuan Kingdom's Earth Emperor City? When did he become the young master of the Boundless Empire's Yuan Family?
"That's right. We found Young Master through the resonance of our bloodline. He told us about the time he spent with you. Thank you for taking care of us all this time!"
Elder Yuan nodded.
"This …" Zhang Xuan scratched his head.
Bloodline resonance, search … Could it be that Yuan Tao was the long-lost young master of the Yuan Clan? This … Wasn't this a little too inconceivable!
If that was the case, the Yuan Clan must be a fearsome existence. Why would they place their so-called young master in a remote place like Tianxuan Kingdom?
"As Young Master Tao's teacher, Zhang Shi, do you know that he possesses an Ancient Bloodline?"
Seeing through the other party's doubts, Elder Yuan asked with a smile.
"He possesses the Emperor's Ancient Bloodline!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Zhang Xuan had used the Library of Heaven's Path to detect Yuan Tao's bloodline at first glance. This was also the reason why he accepted him as his student.
Just like the Innate Body, there were many types of bloodlines. Ancient Bloodline, New Bloodline, Inheritance, Mutation …
The Emperor's Bloodline belonged to the ancient era, and it was one of the most powerful bloodlines in terms of defense.
Despite knowing so many people, even Mo Gaoyuan wasn't able to recognize him. Yet, the other party was able to tell that he possessed an Ancient Bloodline with a single glance. Most likely, he really had a bloodline relationship with Yuan Tao.
"Zhang Shi sure has a sharp eye of discernment!" Elder Yuan nodded. "Indeed, Young Master Tao possesses the purest Emperor's Ancient Bloodline in the clan. Furthermore, I didn't expect it to be awakened by Zhang Shi!"
"Clan?"
"Our Boundless Yuan Clan rose to prominence through the Emperor's Ancient Bloodline. Our entire clan possesses this bloodline, but as time passed, the bloodline became thinner and thinner!"
Elder Yuan's eyes glowed. "It's fortunate that the heavens have mercy on us! This generation has allowed Young Master Tao to possess a complete Ancient Bloodline, and we have successfully found it. The rise of our clan is just around the corner! "
"This …"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. Then, he recalled the young man who had just spoken.
That fellow's muscles were tensed up. With a single look, it was clear that he had cultivated his physical body to an extremely high level. Zhang Xuan thought that he was an expert in physical body cultivation, but it turned out that he was from the same clan as Yuan Tao, possessing the Emperor's Bloodline as well.
The Emperor's Bloodline granted one with invincible defense. If one cultivated it well, one's physical body would be even stronger than one's zhenqi cultivation.
It was no wonder Zhang Xuan was perplexed. The Emperor's Bloodline was an incomparably rare ancient bloodline. How could it appear in Yuan Tao's body? He didn't expect the other party to have such a powerful clan backing him.
"Since Yuan Tao is the young master of your clan, why would he end up in Tianxuan Kingdom?"
Unable to hold himself back, Zhang Xuan asked.
How could such a powerful clan allow a young master with such a pure bloodline to end up in the outside world?
"This is something that we Ancient Bloodline Clans are helpless about. As time passes, the bloodline will grow thinner and thinner. In order to restore the Ancient Bloodline, we would usually use Teleportation Formations to send our offspring to ancient ruins to allow them to grow freely! Only in such a place can one's bloodline recover … "
Elder Yuan said.
The Ancient Bloodline could only be preserved in ancient ruins. Remaining in a clan forever would only cause the bloodline to grow thinner and thinner, eventually disappearing altogether.
"A place left behind by the ancient times? You mean that … Tianxuan Kingdom belongs to such a place? "
Zhang Xuan was astonished.
He had thought that a kingdom like Tianxuan Kingdom, which didn't even have an official rank, would be the most remote and lowly of kingdoms. Could it be that it belonged to some ancient ruins?
"Indeed. The war between the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and mankind has affected the entire continent, and the places that aren't affected by the war are ancient ruins! These places are relatively backward, and there aren't any Teleportation Formations. In fact, even Mingshi Tang didn't manage to enter it, so it's isolated from the world … "Elder Yuan explained with a bitter smile.
After listening for a moment, Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in shock.
It seemed like … Tianxuan Kingdom fit the description perfectly!
No Mingshi Tang, no Teleportation Formations … It was located in a remote area with thin spiritual energy …
"Such ancient ruins are located at the edge of the continent, and they cover a vast area. Even though they know that their descendants have been sent to such a place, they don't know the exact location, so they can only search for it. However … most of them didn't manage to survive!"
Elder Yuan shook his head.
They had no choice but to send their descendants away through Teleportation Formations, but it wasn't up to them to decide where they would be sent to and whether they would be able to survive or not.
Many of their descendants had lost their lives in such a manner, and only a handful of them had managed to recover their Ancient Bloodline.
Fortunately, the two of them had managed to find Yuan Tao, who had recovered his Ancient Bloodline. How could they not be agitated?
After chatting for a while longer, Zhang Xuan finally came to a realization.
Back then, the war between the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and mankind had affected a vast area, and the only places that weren't affected were the ancient ruins. Even though such places were closer to the ancient era, they were still far too backward. Be it cultivation techniques or battle techniques, they were far too lacking.
Without anyone to take care of their descendants, it was hard to say whether they would be able to survive, needless to say, recover their Ancient Bloodline.
But this was the only way for them to succeed.
Otherwise, if their bloodline was allowed to grow thinner and thinner, no matter how powerful a clan was, they would eventually be devoured by other powers and disappear into the annals of history.
"To possess a Teleportation Formation capable of sending humans over, the Yuan Clan is probably even more fearsome than I had imagined!"
Upon understanding all of this, Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.
Legend had it that only grade-8 formations would be able to teleport living beings over. To be able to construct a grade-8 formation and successfully send their descendants over, how could the Yuan Clan be ordinary?
"Since we have found Young Master, we intend to bring him back to our clan to receive his heritage … However, Young Master Tao insists on meeting you and receiving your approval. Thus, we hope that Zhang Shi can agree to it!"
Elder Yuan spoke of his request.
It wasn't easy for him to find a young master with a complete bloodline, so naturally, he wanted to bring him back to receive his heritage. However, the other party insisted on receiving his teacher's approval before he could leave … The young man behind the elder felt that a mere 4-star master teacher wasn't worthy of being their young master's teacher, thus leading to the earlier scene.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan hesitated.
Just like Zhao Ya back then, Yuan Tao was faced with a dilemma as well.
It was indeed best for him to return to his clan with the Ancient Emperor's bloodline, just that … after spending so much time together, he didn't know when they would meet again. In fact, he was reluctant to part with them.
"I have heard of the method Zhang Shi used to awaken Young Master Tao's bloodline, and it is indeed a novel method. However … our Yuan Clan has a complete heritage after all. As long as Young Master returns to our clan, he will surely be able to awaken his unique constitution even faster, thus increasing his cultivation speed! I hope that Zhang Shi will agree to it. This is for his own good! "
Elder Yuan looked at Yuan Tao expectantly.
Through their conversation, he had learned of the relationship between Young Master Tao and his teacher. If his teacher were to say no, there was no way Young Master Tao would leave with them.
But … they bore the heavy responsibility of their clan. Since they had found their young master, naturally, they had to bring him back. How could they allow him to wander outside?
"I know!"
Sighing deeply, Zhang Xuan sighed in disappointment.
There was no such thing as a never-ending banquet in the world, and there was no such thing as a master and disciple who would always be together.
Sometimes, it was better to let go of one's hand at a suitable time to allow one's student to develop further.
Take Zhao Ya for example. After going to the Glacier Plain Court, she might be able to develop further, and her current cultivation might even be on par with his!
There was also Lu Chong. He might not have reached the Ancient Domain of the Soul Oracles yet, but once he did, his achievements would surely be on par with his.
"Elder Yuan has said so much, but you still don't agree to it? Young Master Tao possesses the Emperor's Bloodline, and it's only a matter of time before he becomes a massive dragon. It's true that you are a master teacher, and your talent isn't bad either. However, in terms of physical body cultivation … you are far too lacking. You aren't worthy of being Young Master Tao's teacher.
Seeing the hesitation on Yuan Tao's face, the young man by the side bellowed coldly.
"You are saying that I am not worthy of being Yuan Tao's teacher?" Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
