"Su Yin is a pawn pushed out by Dragon Emperor, Phoenix Monarch, and the Yellow Springs. If we attempt to kill him, we'll surely be ambushed by them. We were able to escape earlier due to our speed, but if the other party is prepared for us, I fear that not only will we fail to obtain anything, we might even be killed!"
Sage Liu Yun said worriedly.
Back at the Herb Mountain, they had only managed to snatch a corpse, and they had nearly lost their lives. If they were to attempt to kill Su Yin, they would probably die on the spot.
As such, the first option was even more difficult.
"Let's go with the second option then. While the Sage of Teacher is a respected figure, he has been dead for ten thousand years, and his influence has waned significantly. Furthermore, Senior Yaochi is the number one elder of the Master Teacher Pavilion, so she wields great authority in this matter.
Sage Liu Yun nodded.
"Un."
Sage Liu Yun nodded. The two of them swiftly vanished from the spot, heading straight for the Master Teacher Pavilion.
…
"So, this is the Master Teacher Pavilion, the place where the path of mentorship first flourished?"
In the center of a massive city in the Celestial World, Su Yin looked at the majestic pavilion before him as he asked.
Lu Qiuran explained, "The path of mentorship is passed down from generation to generation. What it imparts is culture, etiquette, and the way one should conduct oneself in the world. Tianxuan City can be considered one of the largest cities in the Celestial World, with a population of over a hundred million. In a city as large as this, everyone follows the rules. This has a lot to do with the teachings of the Master Teacher Pavilion!"
Su Yin widened his eyes in realization.
As soon as he entered the city, he noticed that all of the cultivators in the city were very polite and well-mannered. Fights and brawls that were commonly seen in the city were nowhere to be seen here. Even if there was a conflict between two parties, they would use the most appropriate and reasonable method to resolve it.
There was no need for an imperial court or a city lord in this place. It was a place where the neighbors lived in harmony.
Not only so, the cultivators in this city were also significantly stronger than those in the Herb Mountain City that he had seen before. Most of the peddlers on the streets possessed the strength of a Golden Immortal realm cultivator, comparable to the heads of some of the smaller sects.
"This is a true sacred ground …" Su Yin remarked.
The sacred grounds that he had seen before were similar to sects. There were elders and disciples, and there was a strict hierarchy. However, in this place, everyone was equal, and everyone had the right to seek knowledge.
This was a true sacred ground, a place that all cultivators yearned for.
"It's still far from the Holy Land in my heart!"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, Yang Xuan sighed deeply and said, "The Sanctum in my heart is a place where everyone is a dragon. The teachers are selfless and impartial, never hiding anything from the world. The teachers impart knowledge to the world, and they are respected by the masses. The Master Teacher Pavilions are spread all over the world, and every single cultivator is blessed with the best education and enlightenment from birth.
"This …" Su Yin shook his head with a bitter smile. "The Master Teacher Pavilion covers the entire world? It's impossible for the Immortal World to do it, and it's impossible for such a place to exist in this world … "
Although he had only been in the Immortal Realm for a little more than a day, he understood that faith was very important in order to become a Saint.
It was precisely because of this that every Holy Land was like the king of a mountain. They ruled over a region and allowed the cultivators in their territory to cultivate their own cultivation methods and worship them.
For example, the people of the Wuwei Holy Ground all cultivated the Wuwei Star Grand Magic, and the cultivators of the Herb Mountain all specialized in medicine …
If a Master Teacher Pavilion were to be established all over the world, wouldn't that mean that everyone would have to follow the teachings of a teacher? Clearly, the other Sages wouldn't agree to that!
"You might not believe me, but there's really such a place in the world …"
Yang Xuan shook his head. "The Master Teacher Pavilion covers the entire world, and everyone respects the teachings of a teacher. Forget it, it's all in the past. If your senior is still around, I'll have him bring you there to take a look!"
"Senior?" Su Yin was taken aback. His lips twitched. "I have a senior? Don't tell me that he betrayed you like Lu Kang … "
Despite so many years of impartation, he had never heard of a 'senior' before. Could it be that Yang Xuan's current state was due to him?
"Of course not!"
Not expecting Zhang Xuan to think in such a manner, Yang Xuan burst into laughter. Shaking his head, he said, "Strictly speaking, this senior of yours can't be considered my disciple. Even though I was the one who saved his life when he was young, by the time we met again, he was already a renowned expert … Furthermore, in the end, he even became the number one expert in the world.
Su Yin was taken aback. "Number one expert of the Master Teacher Pavilion? Is he even stronger than the Firmament Saint? "
If he was that formidable, the thirty-six Ancient Sages shouldn't have died!
"Hehe!" Yang Xuan sneered with pride in his eyes. "If he was around, he would have been able to squash the Firmament Saint to death with a single finger. I wouldn't have had to suffer such humiliation …"
Song Yu interrupted Yang Xuan's words and harrumphed. "Enough, Yang Xuan. Can you stop boasting? It's one thing for you to boast normally, but can't you stop boasting now? Your words are making our ears bleed … What formidable disciple? That's just a figment of your imagination. He doesn't even exist! "
The other Ancient Sages nodded in agreement. "That's right. Let's wash up and sleep!"
Yang Xuan had always claimed that he had a particularly formidable disciple, but it was a pity that no one had seen him before. Even if he did have a disciple, it was impossible for him to have not appeared even once in the ten thousand years that he had been dead.
"It's not a figment of your imagination! It's real! His surname is Zhang, as in arrogant, and his name is Zhang …"
Yang Xuan was so furious that his beard flew up.
"Cut the crap. Let's think about how we can get your skeleton first!" Song Yu interrupted him once more.
Knowing that no one would believe him even if he said it, Yang Xuan could only shake his head helplessly.
"Figment of my imagination? What do you mean? Don't tell me that there's no such senior? "Su Yin asked curiously.
"Of course not!"
Song Yu shook his head. "We are all fragmented souls formed by our clothes, so it's normal for us to have problems with our memories … Previously, he kept saying that the realm he was in had been destroyed by the Dragon Abyss Realm, and while he was searching for reinforcements, he was swept into spatial turbulence and ended up here. He also said that he has a disciple who has mastered the Heavens' Path, and his strength is unfathomable … It's obvious that it's all nonsense. "
"This …" Su Yin was stunned for a moment before he nodded. "It's indeed unreliable!"
Ten days after leaving the Forbidden Land, Zhang Xuan finally understood the difference between the Great Path and the Heavens' Path.
There was only one Great Path. For example, the Way of the Sword, the Way of the Pill, the Way of the Medicine … On the other hand, the Heavens' Path represented all of the laws.
The Great Paths that the 108 Ancient Sages of the Ancient Era had comprehended were all a part of the Heavens' Path.
It was already impossible for him to master thirty-six Great Paths by himself, so how could he possibly master the entire Heavens' Path? Even the Firmament Saint was far from being able to do so.
Needless to say, the Senior Zhang that Yang Xuan spoke of did not exist.
However …
He was quite familiar with the other world. After all, he was from Earth. Could Yang Xuan laoshi be a transmigrator as well?
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Yang Xuan and asked, "Is it a coincidence?"
"???" Yang Xuan.
Seeing that Yang Xuan was unable to answer his question, Su Yin sighed.
It seemed like he was overthinking things.
While they were conversing with one another, Su Yin had already walked into the hall. Even before he entered, he could already hear the sound of reading. Countless children and youths were seated in classrooms, studying and practicing. There were also quite a few powerful cultivators who were discussing and learning from one another. It was a bustling sight.
"As the World's Teacher, even if the Firmament Saint wants to lay his hands on my remains, he won't have the guts to do so. Of course, it won't be easy for you to obtain it either. There's only one way to do so … and that is to find a way to tame my ruler!"
"This is my natal magical treasure, a treasure I refined using all of my cultivation base and strength. Back in the day, I used this thing to force countless races to submit to me. The first Devil Emperor of the Giant Devils was whipped to death by this thing. I fought my way out for the human race …. If I can find this thing, refine it, and take my holy remains, no one will dare to stop me."
Su Yin widened his eyes in realization. He looked at Yang Xuan curiously and asked, "Then … where is the ferule?"
Yang Xuan shook his head. "I don't know. We don't even know where our corpses are after we die, let alone the ferule. Since the Master Teacher Pavilion took my remains, I believe that the ferule should be here as well. "
Su Yin nodded. "Alright then. We should be able to find out by asking around."
Since Yang Xuan had said so, it went without saying that the ferule was an extremely powerful artifact. As long as he could find an elder, he should be able to find out where it was.
…
In the depths of the Master Teacher Pavilion, in a quiet room, green smoke was rising from the burning incense.
A middle-aged lady was washing the tea leaves with a pot of boiling water. Sitting across from her was a young man in his twenties, and beside him was a black-robed man.
After washing the tea leaves and brewing a cup of tea, the middle-aged woman raised her head and smiled. "Junior Brother, why aren't you cultivating with your master to reach Saint? Why have you come to my place?"
The young man raised his teacup and bowed deeply. "Senior Yao Chi, you must have heard of the sudden opening of the passageway between the Celestial World and the Dry Origin World, right?"
Senior Yao Chi nodded. "I have heard some news."
The young man continued, "The removal of the seal means that the 36 Ancient Sages are free to cross once more. As such, I have been following our teacher's orders to search for the remains of the Ancient Sages and find a way to get rid of the 36 Ancient Sages in one fell swoop!"
The young man was no other than Xue Qianqiu.
He was actually a step ahead of Su Yin, and by the time he arrived, he had already met the 'Senior Yao Chi'.
The Jade Lake Saint was the number one elder of the Master Teacher Pavilion.
Even if Sage Zhao Xia and Sage You Chi worked together, they would not be a match for her.
Senior Yao Chi frowned. "The 36 Ancient Sages have already died ten thousand years ago due to a clash of ideals with our teacher. Is that not enough? Do you still want to wipe them out? "
Xue Qianqiu's face turned grim as he said, "Senior Yao, please be careful with your words. This is a War of Dao. Only when one side is completely destroyed will it come to an end … "
"Sigh!" Senior Yao Chi sighed deeply. "Forget it. I can't get involved in a War of Dao like this. I can only stay out of it."
Knowing Senior Yao Chi's temperament, Xue Qianqiu did not mind at all. "Senior Yao, you don't have to interfere in this matter. You can still remain as the number one elder of the Master Teacher Pavilion. The reason I'm here is to ask you how I can take Shi Sheng's remains away."
Senior Yao Chi replied, "His remains are incomparably valuable. Taking it away is equivalent to making an enemy out of the entire Master Teacher Pavilion. Even our teacher wouldn't dare to take such a risk!"
Shi Sheng's influence was simply too great. There was not a single cultivator who had not received his blessings. Forcefully taking his remains away was akin to destroying one's foundation. Even the faith of his own disciples could be shaken.
It was for this reason that their teacher dared not send anyone to snatch the remains away despite knowing that it was there.
Xue Qianqiu replied, "There has to be a way! I don't believe that there's no way to resolve this matter at all. If that's the case, how can our teacher's heritage be passed down? "
"There is indeed a way. It's just a matter of whether you can do it or not … "
Senior Yao Chi replied honestly. "I need you to find the ruler that Shi Sheng used back then! That is the token of the Master Teacher Pavilion. As long as you can obtain it, you will become the new pavilion master of the Master Teacher Pavilion. Naturally, you will be qualified to take away Shi Sheng's remains and even tame it! "
Xue Qianqiu narrowed his eyes. "Ruler? Senior Yao, are you talking about that … Heaven Discernment Ruler? "
Senior Yao Chi nodded. "That's right!"
Xue Qianqiu hesitated for a moment before replying, "But … the ruler disappeared along with Yang Xuan's death. Where can we find it?"
The Heaven Discernment Ruler was Shi Sheng's weapon, and its tier exceeded that of a pinnacle Immortal artifact. Even in the Celestial World, it was a renowned weapon. However, after Shi Sheng Yang Xuan's death, the ruler had gone missing as well.
Even his teacher was unable to find it … How was he supposed to find it?
Senior Yao Chi replied, "After many years of investigation by the Master Teacher Pavilion, it's very likely that the ruler is in the Myriad Ruins Abyss!"
Xue Qianqiu exclaimed, "The Myriad Ruins Abyss, one of the Three Great Danger Zones of the Celestial World? This … "
The Myriad Ruins Abyss was one of the most dangerous places in the Celestial World. Putting aside a Half-Sage like him, even a true Sage would have a high chance of dying there. In fact, not even his teacher dared to enter the Myriad Ruins Abyss.
If the Heaven Discernment Ruler was really in the Myriad Ruins Abyss, even someone as talented as Xue Qianqiu couldn't help but shudder in fear.
Senior Yao Chi shook her head. "If it was that easy to obtain it, why would it wait until now?"
Xue Qianqiu was rendered speechless.
If not for the fact that the ruler was in the Myriad Ruins Abyss, it would have long been taken away by someone else.
Even if not for Shi Sheng's body, the Heaven Discernment Ruler was still one of the top weapons in the Celestial World. If he could obtain it, he would be able to slay even Sage Liu Yun easily.
After explaining the matter, Senior Yao Chi waved her hand impassively. "Alright, I've already told you the solution. You can consider our relationship as fellow disciples now. Do you want to search for it, or do you want to give up? I won't interfere!"
"Senior Yao, I'll be troubling you then!"
Xue Qianqiu nodded before clasping his fist and bowing deeply before leaving the room.
After leaving the room, Sage Liu Yun turned to Xue Qianqiu and asked, "Young Master Xue, are we really going to the Myriad Ruins Abyss?"
"Only by obtaining the Heaven Discernment Ruler will I be able to obtain Shi Sheng's body and even have the Master Teacher Pavilion submit to me … Once I succeed, even if Su Yin obtains more than a dozen bodies, he won't pose a threat to me! Thus, no matter how dangerous it is, we have to make the trip! "
Xue Qianqiu's eyes glinted viciously.
He had never lacked the courage to make a decision, and it was for this reason that his teacher appreciated him and took him in as his direct disciple.
"Alright then!"
Seeing how certain Sage Liu Yun was, Sage Liu Yun fell silent.
