"Folded spaces are similar to formations. As long as we find the door, we'll be able to leave easily!"
Lozosy said.
"Door?" Zhang Xuan scanned his surroundings.
The space wasn't too large, only several hundred meters in radius. Beyond that, there seemed to be some kind of spatial barrier, making it impossible for him to enter.
"It seems like the exit is around here …" Zhang Xuan thought.
There was no way they could leave the spatial barrier, so the door would only be within the vicinity of the straw cottage.
Activating his Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan scanned the area, but he was unable to find anything. All of a sudden, a thought struck him, and he turned his gaze back to where he had come from.
Walking up to it, Zhang Xuan tapped his feet lightly on the ground, and a circular platform slowly appeared. It was identical to the one he had seen before.
"Indeed, this is the one. As long as we step onto it, we'll be able to leave …" Lozosy said with a smile. She took the lead, and with a slight flash, she vanished from the spot.
"Be careful!"
Not expecting the other party to leave so abruptly, Zhang Xuan's heart jolted.
The destruction of the Saint Ascension Platform must have driven the master teachers mad. If they were to leave just like that, wouldn't they be pummeled to death?
However, since the other party had already left, he couldn't care less. Thus, he followed suit.
Hu!
With a flash of light, the scenery before him changed. Blue sky, white clouds, and a light breeze appeared once more, and the young lady was standing not too far away.
"Hmm?" Taking a look around, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but be taken aback. "Where is this?"
It was completely empty. Unlike the Saint Ascension Platform from before, they were no longer at the original location.
"I'm not too sure either. Perhaps, Kong Shi predicted that the appearance of the Saint Ascension Platform would bring trouble, so he shifted the location of the exit," Lozosy said.
"That's for the best …" Seeing that they were no longer at the Saint Ascension Platform, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
At this point, he had also realized that it was nothing much even if he destroyed the Saint Ascension Platform to obtain Kong Shi's acknowledgement. More importantly, if the master teachers were to learn that there was a folded space hidden on the Saint Ascension Platform with Kong Shi's handwriting within, they would surely go into a frenzy.
While many master teachers were willing to accept the matter, there were still many who harbored other thoughts.
He didn't want to be besieged every day because of a lousy book.
Zhang Xuan scanned his surroundings and confirmed that he was already quite a distance away from the Saint Ascension Platform, and there were no other master teachers in pursuit. Only then did he feel reassured. Summoning the Great Violetwing Beast, he was just about to leave when a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
With a flick of his wrist, a football-sized beehive appeared in his palm.
"Master!" The Myriad Anthive Queen tumbled to the ground.
"There's a folded space here. Can you put it into the Hive?" Zhang Xuan asked.
The Myriad Anthive Nest only had a diameter of two to three meters, and even the Byzantium Helios Beast would find it cramped. Zhang Xuan had been unable to find a way to expand the Myriad Anthive Nest, but now that there was such a massive folded space before him, could he find a way to accommodate the two of them?
The one before him had a diameter of several hundred meters. If he were to succeed, he might really be able to form an army of spirit beasts, and he would be able to unleash it to pummel anyone who dared to challenge him.
The Myriad Anthive Queen glanced at the stone platform for a moment before climbing onto it. A moment later, it returned to Zhang Xuan with glowing eyes. "Master, I can fuse this folded space with the Myriad Anthive Nest, but … it might take some time!"
"How long?" Zhang Xuan asked.
The Myriad Anthive Queen was only a Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beast. No matter how talented it was, it wouldn't be easy for it to accomplish such a feat.
"I will need three days to devour it cleanly. However, to fuse it into the Myriad Anthive Nest, it will take at least several months …" the Myriad Anthive Queen replied.
"Alright, I will wait for three days!" Zhang Xuan chuckled.
Three days was nothing to him.
"Yes!" Hearing its master's approval, the Myriad Anthive Queen dived into the stone platform and vanished from sight.
Seeing how the Myriad Anthive Queen didn't even spare the folded space left behind by Kong Shi, Lozosy shook her head.
Others would treat the artifacts left behind by Kong Shi as if they were Saint artifacts, not daring to desecrate them in the slightest. Yet, this fellow … actually intended to have the Myriad Anthive Queen devour it … She really had no idea what he was thinking.
…
The duo waited on the spot for three days, and the Myriad Anthive Queen finally crawled out. Its face was pale, and its body had grown to twice its original size. Its abdomen was also bloated.
After keeping it in the Anthive Nest, Zhang Xuan leaped onto the back of the Myriad Anthive Queen and headed back to the Master Teacher Academy.
This trip to the Saint Ascension Platform could be said to be a huge win for him.
Through the Soul Tempering of a Mentor's Calligraphy, his Soul Depth had reached 21.1, putting him on par with a Seven Star master teacher. Even though he didn't know what use Kong Shi's handwritten scroll was, given how innumerable master teachers flocked to it, it was bound to be of great value. Lastly, the Myriad Anthive Queen had the capability to upgrade its Anthive Nest.
After devouring such a massive folded space, the Myriad Anthive Nest would surely expand many times over. By then, the Byzantium Helios Beast, the Great Violetwing Beast, and even his clone and students would be able to be accommodated within the Anthive Nest.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, Hongyuan City came into sight.
During this period of time, the Anthive Nest had grown to a width of more than ten meters. Even the Great Violetwing Beast would be able to fit inside.
Zhang Xuan wasn't idling around either. With the rise in his Soul Depth, his comprehension of cultivation techniques had deepened, allowing him to cultivate at a faster pace.
He had been suppressing his cultivation for the past few days so that he could find the Heaven's Path Divine Art before continuing his cultivation. Who could have known that he would unknowingly reach Ethereal Treading realm primary stage?
He had made up his mind to temper his zhenqi and cultivate diligently for a period of time, but in the end … he wasn't given the slightest chance at all.
Sigh, how frustrating it is to achieve breakthroughs so easily!
Upon reaching Ethereal Treading realm, the strength of his zhenqi had risen significantly, rising from 14,000,000 ding to 17,000,000 ding!
It was on par with Ethereal Treading realm intermediate stage.
On top of that, his soul cultivation had reached 11,000,000 ding and his physical body cultivation had reached 8,000,000 ding, allowing him to exert a might of 36,000,000 ding!
Even a Chrysalis realm pinnacle expert would be able to kill him with a single punch!
(Chrysalis realm pinnacle possesses a might of 34,000,000 ding)
Not too long after entering Hongyuan City, the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy came into sight. Lozosy bade farewell to Zhang Xuan and left.
On the other hand, Zhang Xuan controlled the Great Violetwing Beast to fly back to his residence.
…
"School Head, Zhang Xuan and Luo shi have returned …"
Shortly after the Great Violetwing Beast entered Hongyuan City, an elder of the Apothecary School hurriedly rushed over to Lu Feng's residence.
"They are back? Very good … "
Lu Feng abruptly stood up with a glint in his eyes.
He had thought that the fellow would return in a day or two, but who could have known that he would make them wait for nearly ten days? This was unforgivable!
"Continue monitoring him. Make sure that fellow doesn't escape!"
Lu Feng instructed before turning to the side. "School Head Chen and Dong Xin, let's head to the Elder's Conference Hall!"
"Alright!" Chen Chengxun and Dong Xin heaved a sigh of relief and stood up.
In order to prevent the matter from leaking out, they had been staying in the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy for the past few days. Now that Zhang Xuan had returned, it was about time to end the matter.
Not too long later, the trio arrived at the highest building in the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, where the most secure room was located.
Elder's Conference Hall!
The place where the Ten Great Master Teachers and School Head Chen discussed their affairs.
This place was rarely opened, but in just half a month since the start of the semester, it had already been opened twice.
The first time was due to Senior Byzantium Helios's disappearance, and the second was due to the expulsion of Zhang Xuan.
Entering the room, Zhang Xuan activated the formation within, and not too long later, the remaining eight elders filed into the room.
"School Head Lu, why did you summon us so urgently this time?"
As soon as they entered the room, Elder Mi immediately turned to look at them.
"Indeed. If it's about the matter from before, there's no need for us to discuss it anymore. Even though most of the students in the Apothecary School have withdrawn from their lessons, I paid a visit to take a look, and nearly half of them have achieved a breakthrough in their pill forging … In other words, not only is Zhang Shi not at fault, he has even contributed to the school!"
Zhao Bingxu said.
After that day, the school heads had conducted a thorough investigation of the Apothecary School, and just as Lu Feng had said, many of the students had withdrawn from their lessons … However, even though they had withdrawn from their lessons, they had still managed to acquire better knowledge and improve significantly.
The Apothecary School prioritized nurturing its students, and as long as they could improve, it would be a huge contribution to the school. Thus, there was nothing wrong with reporting this matter to Mingshi Tang.
"There's no need to rush. Let's wait for Mu shi and Pavilion Master Mo to arrive first!"
Lu Feng harrumphed coldly.
Previously, he had been forced into a corner by these people, and there was nothing he could do about it.
But this time, with concrete evidence in hand, let's see what else you can say!
Hearing Lu Feng's words, Wei Ranxue asked, "Pavilion Master Mo, why did you summon him?"
The other elders frowned.
The Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy and Hongyuan Mingshi Tang were two separate entities, and there was no need for them to interfere in the affairs of the other. Why did you summon Pavilion Master Mo for this meeting?
Did you think that you haven't embarrassed yourself enough?
You want to have Mingshi Tang mock you as well?
"You will know when the time comes!"
Lu Feng raised his head proudly.
I asked you to protect Zhang Xuan, but once you learn that he is an Otherworldly Demon, you will be dumbfounded.
Seeing how Lu Feng was acting mysteriously, Zhao Bingxu, School Head Mo, and the others glanced at one another in bewilderment.
Jiya! Jiya!
Not too long later, Mu shi and Pavilion Master Mo Gaoyuan walked in.
"Mu shi, Pavilion Master Mo!"
The crowd clasped their fists.
Mu shi waved his hands and asked, "What is it this time around?"
"Mu shi, this matter concerns the safety of Senior Byzantium Helios and mankind, so we mustn't neglect it. Before we speak, I hope that you can set up a seal around this room to prevent anyone from spreading the news! "
Lu Feng stood up.
"Seal?" Mu shi frowned.
"Lu Feng, what do you mean by that? Do you think that we will leak the news? "Zhao Bingxu's face darkened.
The other school heads also narrowed their eyes in displeasure.
As one of the Ten Great Master Teachers, as well as the esteemed head of the Master Teacher Academy, it was clear that the other party was guarding against them when he had already set up a restriction on them.
This was especially so for the other party to 'prevent anyone from spreading the news'. What did he mean by that? Could it be that they would leak the news when it concerned the safety of Senior Byzantium Helios and mankind?
"I won't leak the news, but the same can't be said for some of us. The implications are simply too great, and there are quite a few of us who have been beguiled. This is also a precaution! "
Lu Feng glanced at the surroundings before raising his eyebrows.
