Chapter 1082: You're Blocking My View of Zhang Xuan Showing Off

Boom!

Standing in the air, Tianye King gently traced his hand, and the map slowly unfurled. The Fengsheng Pavilion shook violently, and even the entire Qiuwu Palace trembled.

A vast power surged from underground, as if something was about to钻出来.

Feeling this aura, everyone's expression changed.

This aura was far too strong. If Tianye King had been difficult to contend with before, in the face of this aura, he was nothing.

"This is... the aura of the underground cave seal?"

Zhang Xuan's pupils contracted.

He had sensed it before—it was exactly the feeling brought by the seal inside the underground cave... vast and broad, giving a sense of insurmountability.

Creak! Creak!

As the aura grew thicker, a huge sphere, as if summoned by the map, slowly emerged from underground.

Like crystal, transparent throughout, its material was unrecognizable, but it gave a sense of insurmountability, as if its weight could crush everyone.

"Zhang Yin Qiu, what is going on?"

Seeing the situation beyond their imagination, Master Wu couldn't help asking.

"It's the map!" Zhang Yin Qiu clenched his teeth, his face pale, his eyes filled with despair.

"The map? Isn't this map not very useful?" Master Wu and the others looked over.

The map had been in Zhang Shi's hands, and they had seen it. It only turned into a rainbow bridge, allowing them to cross the Heavenly Palace and enter the real Qiuwu Palace. Its specific function seemed insignificant.

"Not useful?" Zhang Yin Qiu shook his head. "It's extremely useful, but you just don't know. This map is actually the key to Qiuwu Palace! It contains ancient divine language and special spatial formations, arranged with a huge seal. Once it merges with this sphere, the entire Qiuwu Palace will be absorbed into it..."

"Absorbed into it?" Everyone was startled.

"As you came along, you should know that Qiuwu Palace is actually a folded space, occupying little external area. This sphere maintains spatial stability and power... The map, as the key, once merged, will turn everything into a painting, like the Heavenly Palace before, forever stored within. Then, not only will this guy obtain all the ancient sage's treasures, but we will also find it hard to escape, and will surely die!"

Zhang Yin Qiu was frantic.

"This..." Everyone trembled.

Earlier in the Heavenly Palace, they had been toyed with by Hongye King precisely because the other was outside the 'painting' while they were inside.

If what the old dean said was true and he succeeded, the entire relic would fall into Tianye King's hands, and the trouble would be immense.

"The ancient sage left his inheritance back then, only to be passed on to master teachers... but he also left a map, to be given to a destined person. Whoever obtains the map and merges with the palace gains control of the entire folded space. Even if they don't get the inheritance, deducing the seal's structure becomes very simple! Then, when the alien race sends troops again, humanity will be plunged into bloody battle... Knowing this, suspecting he had obtained the map, I rushed here to stop him..."

Zhang Yin Qiu explained quickly.

Hearing this, everyone finally understood.

Zhang Xuan had been wondering earlier: since the alien race couldn't obtain the ancient sage's inheritance, why did the old dean and others risk their lives to come, even willing to die together? The root was here!

He thought the other party had already mastered the map or found a way to refine the entire Qiuwu Palace.

In fact, they had indeed mastered it, only lacking the map.

"What do we do now?"

Knowing time was of the essence—if the other succeeded, not only would they die, but all of humanity would face a great disaster—Master Wu looked over anxiously.

"There's only one way: stop the map from merging with the crystal!" Zhang Yin Qiu gritted his teeth.

"Good!"

Everyone's expressions hardened.

As long as the map and crystal didn't merge, he couldn't control the entire Qiuwu Palace, and they would be safe, not falling into a passive position.

"Zhang Shi, go break through. We'll handle things here..."

Master Wu nodded.

"Alright!" Zhang Xuan responded.

He knew that with his current strength, trying to stop Tianye King was useless. Rather than fail, it was better to break through now and resolve the crisis.

"Break through? You're just a Half-Saint; even if you break through, it's useless..."

Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, this Half-Saint was still thinking about breaking through. Zhang Yin Qiu couldn't help looking over.

"Don't worry, Master Zhang. His breakthrough is not ordinary; it will definitely help..."

Smiling lightly, Master Wu took a deep breath, his eyes solemn. Suddenly he leaped up, turning into a meteor, and stabbed toward Tianye King in the air.

Zzzt!

The power was so great that the entire space seemed unable to bear it, on the verge of collapse.

Knowing he was no match, Master Wu activated a secret technique as soon as he struck, unleashing power beyond his own.

"Wait for me!"

President Han also did not pause; he leaped up and followed closely.

The two Saint Domain Fourth Layer powerhouses immediately engaged Tianye King in the air.

Earlier, with his strength, Tianye King could have slapped them both to death in one blow. But now, as he drove the map to merge with the crystal, he couldn't use his full power, and they were temporarily locked in a stalemate.

"Not an ordinary breakthrough?"

Knowing that his current state would only cause trouble, Zhang Yin Qiu did not follow. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xuan nearby with doubt.

A Half-Saint—what kind of breakthrough could make two Saint Domain Fourth Layer powerhouses so confident?

This doubt didn't last long before he saw Zhang Xuan walking toward the nearby Fengsheng Platform.

The platform was surrounded by a seal. For others, approaching was difficult, but for some reason, the seal opened for Zhang Shi as if seeing a relative, without any hesitation.

"The seal breaks... Could it be... a Heaven-Approved Master Teacher?"

His pupils contracted, and Zhang Yin Qiu thought of something.

When it came to understanding Qiuwu Palace, no one present could surpass him.

This seal was impossible for anyone to approach. The only explanation for this situation was that the person before him met the requirements for sanctification... that is, he was a Heaven-Approved Master Teacher!

Boom!

While still in shock, he saw Zhang Xuan sit down on the Fengsheng Platform. With a flick of his wrist, a ball of seven-colored spiritual liquid appeared in his palm, floating slowly, emitting an astonishing aura.

"Seven-Colored Earthly Qiong Liquid!"

He recognized it.

Though rare, this spiritual liquid had a very distinctive appearance, and anyone who had heard of it could recognize it.

Sitting on the Fengsheng Platform, Zhang Xuan held the liquid in one hand and gently tapped it with the other. The scattered seven-colored power fell like stars into his acupoints.

Creak! Creak!

With a sound, his entire aura rapidly rose. In an instant, it broke through the Half-Saint peak and surged toward a higher level.

"Is this really just breaking through to Saint Domain?"

Swallowing his saliva, Zhang Yin Qiu's eyes widened.

Although Zhang Shi was only breaking through from Half-Saint to Saint Domain First Layer, the aura he emitted was like an abyss or ocean, unfathomable and elusive. Zhang Yin Qiu had witnessed a breakthrough from Saint Domain Second Layer to Third Layer... but compared to this, it was far inferior!

They were not even on the same level!

"Could it be... he is going to become a saint?"

Swallowing again, Zhang Yin Qiu couldn't believe it.

Although from what Confucius left behind, he firmly believed someone could become a saint, he always thought it impossible for anyone to accomplish.

After all, there was only one Confucius, irreplaceable, incomparable.

Heaven did not give birth to Confucius; eternity would be like a long night.

"Yeah, this guy loves to show off. He's definitely going to try to become a saint..."

Just as he couldn't believe it, he heard a slightly sour voice beside him. Turning his head, he saw the fatty who had traded with him earlier had somehow come up to him, also looking at Zhang Xuan in the distance, greatly annoyed, as if feeling that the other was stealing the spotlight.

"You... you're bleeding from seven orifices..."

Seeing the other's appearance, Zhang Yin Qiu's mouth twitched.

At this moment, the fatty was bleeding from seven orifices. Anyone else would have died long ago, but he seemed to feel nothing, still watching Zhang Xuan on the Fengsheng Platform with envy.

"Oh, nothing serious. I'm used to it!"

The fatty was unconcerned.

"Used to bleeding from seven orifices..."

Zhang Yin Qiu nearly fainted.

Where did he come from?

Others would die from bleeding from seven orifices, but he said he was used to it...

"Not only that... there's a sword stuck in your back, it seems... it pierced your heart..."

His mouth twitched a few more times before he spoke again.

If it were just bleeding from seven orifices, he wouldn't say more, but there was also a long sword stuck in his back, going through his back. Judging by the position, it had even pierced his heart. Under these circumstances, he was still fine?

"Pierced my heart?" The fatty looked puzzled. He lowered his head and saw the sword tip protruding from his chest, then realized: "Now that you mention it, that's true... But no matter, just pull it out!"

Saying this, he bent his arm into an impossible twist, reached behind his back, pulled out the sword, and threw it on the ground: "There, all better!"

"I..."

Zhang Yin Qiu was frantic, feeling like he was going crazy.

What kind of freak was this guy?

In such a state, not only was he not dead, but he also had the mood to watch Zhang Xuan break through...

"Damn it, I'll kill you..."

While still in shock, he heard another furious roar from the air. Tianye King's palm slammed down.

Crack!

The fatty was instantly smashed into a meat patty, flattened on the ground.

"Ah..."

Zhang Yin Qiu was startled, stepping back several times, his face pale.

He had just been talking to this guy, and now in the blink of an eye, he was killed. The visual impact was quite strong.

"Little brother... rest assured, even if I have to risk my old life, I will avenge you..."

His eyes reddening, Zhang Yin Qiu looked up at Tianye King in the air, filled with intense killing intent.

Before his inner vow was even finished, he heard an impatient voice from the ground.

"No sense at all! Move aside, you're blocking my view of Zhang Xuan showing off..."

Looking down, he saw an eye on the meat patty, rolling around, looking at him with great impatience.
