Chapter 1592: Master-Character Golden Soldiers
Library of Heaven's Path · 第1592章 师字金兵
"Yes!" Hearing the command, the many elders behind him nodded simultaneously and flew out in unison.
Comprehending the true solution of sealing space meant that one's understanding of space had reached the pinnacle of the world. With such a powerful figure in charge, the clan's resurgence would face no further obstacles.
Most importantly, the humiliation they had just suffered—the loss of face from being publicly rejected in a marriage proposal—could be restored.
Let everyone know how foolish that fellow named Zhang Xuan was to refuse the Luo family.
"Zhang Xuan, you have insulted the dignity of the Luo family. You never dreamed that our clansman could break through so quickly!" Luo Qianzhen's gaze turned cold. "Once we find this person and establish him as clan leader, I will surely take revenge on you!"
Comprehending the true solution of sealing space meant mastering the Luo family's most core technique. As long as this person's cultivation reached the required level, what was that little genius of the Zhang family?
"Yes, if we don't kill that bastard, it will be hard to quell the hatred in our hearts!" Luo Xuanqing also showed a crazed expression.
He treated him as a friend, yet the other trampled on the dignity of their Luo family!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before long, the many elders who had gone searching flew back again.
"Reporting to the acting clan leader, all strong members of the clan who have reached the Voidspace Realm and above have been examined, and no one has comprehended the true solution of sealing space!"
"Acting clan leader, all disciples in the Cave Void Realm have also been questioned, and no one has comprehended it!"
…
The many elders reported all the news one by one, each filled with disappointment.
The ancestral statue had personally bowed, indicating that someone must have comprehended it—there could be no mistake. But they had questioned all the cultivators in the clan and heard no one had shown any abnormality. This was puzzling.
"No? How can that be? Space laws have always been difficult to understand, and sealing-type ones are even harder. Without the Luo family bloodline and heritage, even grasping the basics is difficult…" Luo Qianzhen could not believe it.
Back then, the ancestor Luo Tianyun succeeded only because he coincidentally obtained the Still Space Pearl and the inheritance of the ancient sage Qiuwu… If it weren't someone from their own family, who would have so many opportunities?
"We also summoned and questioned the cultivators in seclusion… Could it be that this person is not of the Luo family?" Luo Qingchen looked over.
If it were truly a member of the Luo family, they would surely know what comprehending such a true solution meant. Without them needing to search, the person would have appeared on their own. Now, with no movement at all, it seemed that the one who had earned the reverence of so many ancestors did not belong to the Luo family.
"Search now. We must find this person. Once found, find a way to recruit him into the Luo family, even if…" Luo Qianzhen's gaze turned cold. "…by marriage alliance!"
"Marriage alliance?" Luo Xuanqing was startled.
"Correct. Having comprehended the true solution of sealing space, all of the Luo family's secrets about space are no longer hidden from him. If we don't recruit him into the family and he becomes an enemy, won't the Luo family be destroyed? So, as long as he is willing to come, we can agree to any condition, even if it means marrying your sister!"
Luo Qianzhen waved his hand grandly.
"But…" Luo Xuanqing was full of anxiety.
"No buts. Your sister and that Zhang Xuan have already broken off completely, with no possibility left. In that case, it's better to find someone who comprehends space. This way, we can also suppress him and let the Zhang family know that our Luo family… does not need a marriage alliance with them to stand at the pinnacle of the continent!"
Luo Qianzhen's gaze turned cold. "More importantly, we can use his hand to deal a heavy blow to Zhang Xuan, making him know that my daughter… is not someone to be bullied casually!"
Luo Xuanqing fell silent.
Although he worried that his sister would not be happy and felt it was unfair to her, it was indeed the best way to strike at Zhang Xuan and make him know his place. The Luo family could also thereby alleviate the damage to their dignity from the broken engagement.
Being able to comprehend the true solution of sealing space would also make him more compatible with his sister's use of the Still Space Pearl.
"Alright, it's decided. Send people to search quickly! Once found, report back immediately, and I will go to invite him personally!"
Luo Qianzhen flicked his sleeve and said no more.
"Yes!"
The many elders flew out one after another.
…
Without the constraint of space sand, their forward speed was extremely fast. Before long, the three arrived in front of the palace and landed.
Walking up the towering steps before the hall, Zhang Xuan looked up.
On both sides of the palace were two stone statues in the form of child attendants, with long hair buns and simple ancient attire, bowing at the waist as if greeting visitors.
Above the main gate hung a plaque with three large characters, exuding a sharp aura. One glance made one feel as if they would be attacked by spears at any moment, torn into pieces.
Child attendants bowing, characters that kill… It gave a sense of 'first courtesy, then force.'
"Ranzi Hall!"
Wu Chen, standing to the side, read it out.
"It should be personally written by the ancient sage Ran Qiu…"
Zhang Xuan nodded with a sigh.
The calligraphy realm of these three characters was not extremely high, but they gave a sense of loftiness. Even with his insight, he could not see through them. They were probably left personally by this ancient sage; otherwise, they would not be so profound.
Shaking his head, he bowed to the characters and the child attendants respectively.
Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faithfulness—'propriety' is even ranked before wisdom and faithfulness, showing how much Confucius valued it. Since they had come to the ancient sage's relic, they should not be negligent in these matters.
Whoosh!
As soon as the ritual ended, with a tremor, the stone child attendant on the left slowly opened its eyes, smiled lightly, and looked over.
"Being able to come to Ranzi Hall shows your strength and ability. However, coming here does not mean you can enter! To enter, you must pass a test…"
The stone child attendant said calmly.
"May I ask what test?"
Zhang Xuan clasped his hands.
"The ancient sage Ran Qiu dislikes all kinds of tedious formalities, so the requirement is simple: one person challenges one opponent. If you can defeat them at the same level, you may enter. Otherwise, please return the way you came…"
With a snort, the child attendant raised its hand.
Swish!
The three large characters on the horizontal plaque fell from the air to the ground, gently shook, and transformed into three soldiers of the same appearance, clad in golden armor.
"This…" Zhang Xuan was full of surprise.
With his insight, he could tell that these three were neither puppets nor treasures, but transformed from three large characters, exuding from inside out the sharpness that had shone at first glance.
"These are Master-Character Golden Soldiers!"
Seeing his confusion, Luo Ruoxi on the side explained.
"Master-Character Golden Soldiers?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
He had heard of 'master's words bestowed by heaven' and 'master's heart,' but what were Master-Character Golden Soldiers?
"Legend has it that powerful masters can preserve their essence, energy, and spirit in the form of written characters. Under special circumstances, these characters can transform into golden soldiers to engage in battle… Because they are left by such a powerful figure, the golden soldiers possess that figure's combat experience and techniques, making them difficult to contend with!"
Luo Ruoxi said.
"Possessing that figure's combat experience and techniques… These are characters left by the ancient sage Ran Qiu. Doesn't that mean they possess his combat ability?"
His pupils contracted, and Zhang Xuan was filled with shock.
