Chapter 1700: The Golden-Faced Dome Wolf

The brush in his hand materialized, and he quickly sketched the surrounding environment, writing the words 'Location of the Confucian Temple' in all eight directions.

His finger touched it, and there was a buzz in his mind!

No book appeared.

"..."

Zhang Xuan's face turned ashen.

No book appeared, meaning that even the library was useless in finding the location of the Confucian Temple!

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"The Confucian Temple is hidden in the void. Countless diviners on the Master Teacher Continent have failed to calculate its location... I'm afraid Master Teacher Kong used some method to obscure the heavens!"

Realizing this, he was filled with frustration.

On the Master Teacher Continent, there were countless experts, and among the Otherworldly Demons, there were also many geniuses and masters. The 'Spring and Autumn Annals' left by Master Teacher Kong had long attracted countless covetous eyes, yet it had remained undiscovered for tens of thousands of years. This must be due not only to spatial concealment but also to methods that prevented diviners from deducing its location.

Given that, it was perfectly normal that the library could not detect it.

The Library of Heaven's Path was omnipotent and omnipresent as long as it was under the coverage of the Heavenly Dao, but what about places beyond its reach?

This Confucian Temple was clearly such a place.

He tapped his finger, and the Heritage Mother Talisman appeared at his fingertip: "Little Talisman, can you tell me which direction we should take to reach the Confucian Temple?"

Since all other methods were useless, the Mother Talisman, being here, should have a way, right?

"I can only sense it within ten kilometers of the Confucian Temple. Here... I'm not sure either..."

The Heritage Mother Talisman flew into the air, wriggled for a moment, and replied.

It could sense the Confucian Temple, but there was a limitation: if the distance was too great, it was just like everyone else and couldn't locate it.

"Alright, if you find anything, send me a telepathic message..."

Seeing that even the last resort had failed, Zhang Xuan was filled with helplessness.

On the Master Teacher Continent, he could do anything, but he hadn't expected to hit a dead end as soon as he arrived at this Confucian Temple.

"Okay! However, if you choose the wrong direction for the Confucian Temple ruins, you might stray further and further..."

The Heritage Heavenly Talisman responded with a sound.

"Indeed, we must carefully consider which direction to take and never act rashly..." Nodding with deep feeling, Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "I've got it!"

"You have a way? How do we find the direction?"

The Heritage Heavenly Talisman looked over in confusion.

"By relying on the Dragon Bone Divine Spear!"

With a light smile, Zhang Xuan shook his hand, and the long spear appeared in his palm again.

"It can identify directions?" The Heritage Heavenly Talisman was taken aback: "Even I can't find it, what can it do?"

It was refined by Master Teacher Kong specifically for finding the Confucian Temple, yet it couldn't locate anything. What could a long spear do?

Before it finished speaking, it saw Zhang Xuan shake his hand, and the long spear spun in the air.

After a while, it stopped, with the spear tip pointing in one direction: "Hmm, let's go this way..."

Zhang Xuan nodded with certainty.

"..." Heritage Heavenly Talisman.

"..." Dragon Bone Divine Spear.

They thought he had some method to find the way, but it turned out to be so reckless...

This was about finding the Confucian Temple, not a lucky spin wheel...

Ignoring the two frustrated entities, he tucked the talisman close to his body with his fingers, turned the Dragon Bone Divine Spear back into a belt, and strode forward.

Since he couldn't find the direction anyway, he might as well choose randomly.

Within the ruins, the spiritual energy was dense, and traveling along, he didn't feel tired. Before long, a stream appeared before his eyes. Looking at it, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

What flowed was not water, but spiritual liquid!

In other words, the spiritual energy here was so rich that it could condense into liquid everywhere.

Back then, for the sake of this stuff, he had dismantled the entire Cloud Mist Mountain, yet here it was everywhere.

"Collect!"

Although this level of spiritual liquid was no longer useful to him, adhering to the principle of frugality, he couldn't just throw away good things. So he collected it all, leaving not a single drop.

Crossing the river, he continued forward and saw many spiritual herbs. The smallest were at least a thousand years old, and the largest were tens of thousands of years old. From afar, their medicinal fragrance assailed the nose.

"Truly a land of treasures..."

After grabbing more than a dozen plants, Zhang Xuan was filled with excitement.

As expected of the Confucian Temple ruins—the treasures were too numerous to describe.

No wonder countless experts on the Master Teacher Continent wanted to enter it. Whether it was spiritual energy, master teacher aura, or treasures... any one of them was enough to make one progress rapidly, far surpassing hard training outside.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As he advanced, the sound of metal clashing came from afar. Zhang Xuan hesitated no more and dashed straight toward the source of the sound.

Before arriving, he changed his appearance.

As the head of three great families, the master of the Saint Son Hall, and wanted by the Master Teacher Pavilion, his name was known far and wide. Among master teachers, few would not recognize him, so he had to be cautious.

Rounding an earthen slope, he saw the place where the sound originated. Five men and two women were battling a sacred beast.

It was a Golden-Faced Sky Wolf, born with a golden face. At birth, it possessed the strength of the Golden Body realm, and upon reaching adulthood, it was comparable to a peak Blood Boiling expert.

Its opponents, the five men and two women, included three in the Golden Body realm, while the rest had reached the Blood Boiling realm. They wore no master teacher robes or badges, so it was impossible to tell if they were disguised as alien spirits.

Under the joint siege of five experts, the Golden-Faced Sky Wolf retreated repeatedly, unable to hold its ground.

Normally, a sacred beast of the same level would be more powerful in combat, but these people had brought many treasures in preparation for entering the Confucian Temple. They used all kinds of treasures as if they cost nothing, and the Golden-Faced Sky Wolf seemed lacking in combat experience. Before long, it was severely injured.

"Everyone, follow my command, attack together..."

Seeing that the Sky Wolf could no longer resist, a young man in the crowd shouted loudly.

"Alright!" The remaining few's eyes lit up simultaneously, and various weapons flew as they stabbed in unison.

Finally, the Golden-Faced Sky Wolf could not withstand the assault, fell to the ground, and ceased to breathe.

"Killed it..."

At the same time, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to celebrate, they heard footsteps, and a young man walked over.

"Who are you?"

The group looked wary.

"I'm just passing through..."

Zhang Xuan quickly said.

"Passing through?"

The group looked at him with vigilance, as if afraid he might take the opportunity to snatch the slain Golden-Faced Sky Wolf.

"I have no interest in this sacred beast. No need to be so wary..."

Seeing their expressions, Zhang Xuan immediately understood what was happening and smiled awkwardly.

They had just killed this big fellow, and he appeared right then—it would be strange if they weren't tense.

"I doubt you'd dare..."

Seeming to have discerned that Zhang Xuan's cultivation was merely at the ordinary Golden Body realm, the group relaxed. The young man who had given orders snorted, then looked back at the wolf corpse on the ground. Flipping his wrist, he took out a sharp knife and stabbed it in.

Soon, he dug out the wolf's teeth and claws.

"I contributed the most to killing this beast, so I'll take the teeth and claws. No objections, I hope? The rest, you can divide among yourselves!"

The young man said indifferently.
