Chapter 1910 Zhao Ya's Specialness

The moment he broke through to ancient sage, Zhang Xuan understood that he had already surpassed the Heavenly Dao of the Master Teacher Continent and become the teacher of heaven and earth.

Every word and action could influence the Heavenly Dao, even causing it to correct itself.

Words became law; a single utterance set the rules.

He had thought he had walked a path different from Confucius, unaffected by him, yet he still followed in his footsteps, advancing step by step.

Confucius of ancient times must have also reached this realm and possessed this power, enabling later generations to unleash that bloodline power and defy the rules.

Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Zhang Xuan stopped dwelling on it.

It was enough to be himself; why bother with too much?

He clenched his fist and sensed the power within his body.

Although he was only at the Blood Drop Rebirth realm, if that deity from the Kunxu Realm appeared again, he could crush him with a single finger.

Truly worthy of being suppressed several times; once broken through, it indeed brought benefits beyond ordinary imagination.

Crack!

He turned his wrist, and a painting in his palm shattered into ashes.

In the recent assault on ancient sage, not only had he consumed all the ancient sage power in the scroll, but the blood accumulated from slaying two 'deities' was also exhausted. At this moment, he was once again reduced to a state of utter poverty.

Farewell!

With a point of his finger, the cultivation techniques he had compiled entered the girl's mind. Zhang Xuan did not pause; he turned and vanished from sight.

Goodbye... Zhang Xuan!

Feeling the new knowledge in her mind, Shen Biru trembled uncontrollably, her eyes reddening.

She knew that this time, she and he had truly become two parallel lines, with no chance of intersecting again.

Farewell, Teacher Zhang!

While she was filled with emotion, the townspeople, having confirmed the identity of the young man in the sky, could no longer restrain themselves and knelt down in unison.

Truly the teacher of ten thousand generations; even his tribulation transcendence was unique, leaving behind endless legends for people to ponder.

...

Flying to a place invisible to ordinary people, Zhang Xuan stopped, looked around, and smiled slightly: "Come out, all of you!"

Teacher!

Zhao Ya, Wang Ying, Liu Yang, Zheng Yang, Yuan Tao, Lu Chong, Wei Ruyan, Zhang Jiuxiao, Kong Shiyu... his nine direct disciples knelt before him in unison.

Within two years, he had taken nine disciples, each of high status, standing at the pinnacle of the entire Master Teacher Continent and even the Spirit Race.

Attack together; let me see your progress and strength!

With his hands behind his back, Zhang Xuan said calmly.

The group paused, then nodded simultaneously.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The nine of them attacked together.

Having not seen each other for over half a year, each had improved. The weakest, Yuan Tao, had completed two tribulations and reached the mid-stage of the Hundred Schools of Thought. The others were even stronger; Zhao Ya, Kong Shiyu, Zheng Yang, and Liu Yang had all reached Blood Drop Rebirth.

With their combined strength, time and space were sealed, and even the former 'deity' would find it hard to resist.

But their attacks landed on Zhang Xuan as if they had no power at all, easily blocked by his protective true qi outside his body.

In fact, if Zhang Xuan wished, he could move so fast that they couldn't see his figure or track his trail.

The Zhang family bloodline power was now useless; conversely, accelerating time could be done with a single thought.

Break!

Having confirmed their strength and his own cultivation, Zhang Xuan knew there was no need to continue fighting. He extended his index finger and tapped lightly.

Swish!

The nine all retreated, their faces pale.

This group, representing the strongest combat force of the era, combined, could not even withstand a single finger of their teacher.

Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, you've made considerable progress. Kong Shiyu, your progress is the slowest...

Zhang Xuan smiled.

These students were all hardworking, and each had made significant progress. The one who progressed the slowest was Kong Shiyu, the latest disciple.

After taking her as a disciple, he had left without giving serious guidance, resulting in her only advancing from mid-stage Blood Drop Rebirth to late stage in over half a year, not even reaching the peak.

I...

Kong Shiyu was speechless.

What the teacher said was true; during this time apart, she had indeed been the slowest in cultivation.

Previously, she had been proud of being a descendant of Confucius with pure bloodline, but seeing Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and others, who were far inferior to her, gradually surpass her, she understood that no matter how good one's talent, without effort, one would fall behind.

Moreover, her teacher himself was adept at creating legends!

Alright, these are my recent insights. I impart them to you; how much you comprehend depends on each of you...

With a point of his finger, the insights from breaking through to ancient sage and achieving the ancient sage realm entered everyone's minds.

Having reached this realm, there was no need for hands-on teaching; instead, they should comprehend on their own.

The master leads you in, but cultivation depends on the individual.

How far one can go depends on oneself; the teacher can only guide the way.

Just as before, he let them each go their own way.

Otherwise, they would not have achieved their current strength.

Soon, everyone scanned the knowledge imparted by the teacher, their faces filled with excitement.

With these insights, their progress would be faster, and their cultivation more stable and profound.

I'm going to the Kunxu Realm seal; all of you come along!

Knowing that full comprehension would take time, and he had none to waste, Zhang Xuan spoke.

Everyone nodded.

The group flew swiftly toward the Kunxu Realm, arriving at the platform beneath the seal in over ten minutes.

After repairs, it was unchanged, with no sign of the mercury-like power seeping through.

After inquiring and learning that no 'deity' had appeared during his absence, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Opposite the seal is the Upper Firmament, filled with a mercury-like spiritual energy. You can try to absorb it.

He extended his finger and tapped lightly, creating a small black hole in the seal. A majestic aura descended, causing the platform to creak under the pressure.

Having broken through to ancient sage, he now possessed combat power comparable to a Void Shattering expert. It was time to leave this place and explore a higher world.

Otherwise, finding Luo Ruoxin would remain an empty promise.

However, to enter the Upper Firmament, he first needed to adapt to this mercury-like spiritual energy. Not only would he try himself, but he also wanted his students to try, so they could be prepared.

Sizzle!

As the mercury-like power descended, the students' faces turned red, as if their bodies were about to burst.

This power was too terrifying; even though they had all reached the ancient sage level and stood at the continent's peak, they still found it hard to bear.

Teacher, I... can absorb this spiritual energy!

Just as Zhang Xuan was feeling disappointed, a faint voice sounded. He quickly turned and saw Zhao Ya, her expression calm.

The mercury-like spiritual energy flowed slowly into her body without any rejection.
