Chapter 1692: Going to the Confucian Temple

The two had finally formed an alliance and exchanged benefits, never imagining that their combined army wouldn't even make it out the gate before being wiped out to the last man. The most crucial thing was... they didn't even know who did it!

"I need to go there personally..."

Unable to hold back any longer, Chen Linghuang's aura suddenly surged, and the space around him kept shattering.

He was actually a powerhouse who had reached the Ancient Sage level!

"I'm going too!"

Chen Xinghuang also couldn't restrain himself.

All his subordinates were dead; anyone would find that unacceptable.

"Then let's set off together. That matter can just be resolved at the same time... If we don't settle this, we'll forever be like this, dependent on others' whims!"

Chen Linghuang's eyes flickered.

Chen Xinghuang nodded: "Right, I heard that Yonghuang somehow found a young man of extraordinary talent, who cultivates techniques as if there were no barriers at all, advancing extremely fast! None of our disciples are a match for him... If we let him grow up, what originally belonged to us will surely be lost!"

Chen Linghuang said: "Don't move against this guy yet. He has gained the recognition of the Cruel One's will and been taught supreme techniques; his prestige is high. After we handle that matter, once he has no support, we'll slowly deal with him... If we play it right, we might even get our hands on the highest secret manual!"

"Good!"

Hearing his explanation, Chen Xinghuang said no more.

Both of them flickered and vanished from the spot, as if tearing through a rift in space to an unknown place.

...

"You say... over a hundred thousand alien tribesmen were taken care of by Zhang Xuan, Patriarch Zhang, all by himself?"

"That can't be possible, right?"

"Master Ren said it himself, it must be true, but... how can it be believable?"

"If they're completely dealt with, we won't have to keep guarding the underground cavern..."

...

After surviving the Heavenly Fire Tribulation, Zhang Xuan's strength had greatly increased. There was no need to stay here any longer, so he left with Ren Qingyuan and the others.

The many master teachers on guard, upon hearing that the alien tribesmen who had caused them so much worry had been single-handedly eliminated by this young man... were all dumbfounded.

In the history of the Master Teacher Continent, there had been many geniuses—brave, powerful, and leaving behind legends countless in number—but compared to this feat, they were nothing!

Not worth mentioning.

Single-handedly killing one hundred and ten thousand alien tribe experts, including those at the Great Sage Fourth Layer Immortal Realm...

The more they listened, the more unbelievable it seemed, as if hearing a story.

...

Zhang Xuan paid no heed to the crowd's discussions. By now, he had already returned to the Zhang family.

"Since the threat of the alien tribes has been resolved, they shouldn't attack again for a short while. We'll go with you to the Confucian Temple. Also, we need to send a team separately!"

After hearing his son's explanation of what happened after entering the ancient battlefield, Xing Jian Sheng couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

"Good!"

The alien tribes had suffered a severe blow; even if they wanted to gather forces to attack again, they wouldn't pose a threat. Now that the Confucian Temple's opening was imminent and time was of the essence, it was time to go.

Otherwise, if they delayed any longer and the Spring and Autumn Ceremony fell into the hands of the Hundred Schools of Thought or the alien tribes, it would be bad for their three families, and even for the Master Teacher Pavilion.

"The space in Qufu, where the Confucian Temple is located, is twisted and folded, so we can't directly use a teleportation array or tear through space to get there. We can only go to the vicinity first, then slowly fly over. We're fast, so we'll leave ahead. Elder Wuyun, you lead the clan and follow behind. Once you arrive, contact us!"

Seeing that he agreed, Xing Jiansheng instructed.

After Grand Elder Zhang Wuhen was punished, Elder Wuyun had been managing everything.

"Also, find a way to notify those Supreme Elders in seclusion within the clan and have them head over as well. The opening of the Confucian Temple might be their greatest opportunity!"

The Master Hall had Supreme Elders in seclusion, and the Zhang family also had many. These people almost never appeared unless the family was on the verge of life and death; otherwise, they would never emerge from seclusion.

Their strength had all reached the fourth level of Great Sage, the Immortal Realm. With Ancient Sages not appearing, they truly stood at the pinnacle of the continent.

Unfortunately, without a method to break through to Ancient Sage, they could only hide themselves, reducing life consumption in hopes of living a little longer.

The Confucian Temple not only held the Spring and Autumn Ceremony but might also provide a way to resolve the shackle that had prevented breakthroughs to Ancient Sage for nearly ten thousand years. So, no matter what, they had to go.

After all, the Zhang family now only had one sleeping ancestor left. Once his lifespan ended and no new Ancient Sage emerged, they would inevitably be removed from the list of super-first-rate families and find it hard to return.

"Yes!" Elder Wuyun quickly nodded.

"Let's go!"

Having finished all instructions, Xing Jiansheng said no more. Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, took out the Dragon Bone Divine Spear, oriented himself, and gently thrust.

A passage appeared in space, and everyone immediately tore through the void and departed.

With his true qi cultivation also reaching the peak of the Golden Body Realm, Zhang Xuan's combat power had surged again. At this point, even without using schemes, he could fight on par with the fully powered Ebony and others, or even kill them.

Originally, after breaking through to this realm, he wanted to push forward and impact the state of 'heart's blood surging,' but he found it impossible!

'Heart's blood surging' was the ability to sense a sliver of life opportunity in the vast universe, avoiding danger and seeking good fortune. But he, carrying the Heavenly Dao Library, sensing heavenly secrets, was equivalent to stealing from the Heavenly Dao...

If he really tried to learn, before he could even sense anything, lightning would probably strike him dead first.

He secretly tried a few times, each time being electrocuted to the point of near death, the experience quite sour. Zhang Xuan then stopped.

It seemed this was not the time to break through. If it really didn't work, he would wait.

Otherwise, although he wasn't afraid of thunder, being constantly electrocuted, twitching occasionally like someone with epilepsy, wouldn't look good to others!

After passing through the space passage, they were already very close to Qufu. After flying for a while, a dark figure approached.

It was Wu Chen.

This guy had left on business, but unexpectedly appeared here.

At this moment, Wu Chen looked at Zhang Xuan, a complex expression in his eyes, for some unknown reason.

"Is the matter resolved?"

Zhang Xuan looked over.

Previously, he had felt that the other party had something on his mind, unable to let go even when following behind. Now, with this expression, it seemed he had completely dealt with it.

"Thanks to Master Zhang's blessing, it's been completely resolved!"

Hearing the question, Wu Chen recovered, nodded, and smiled slightly.

"Good that it's resolved!"

Zhang Xuan nodded, knowing the other party didn't want to say more, and didn't ask further.

It was not far from Qufu now, and everyone flew straight ahead.

The closer they got, the more oppressive the 'sun' in the sky became. Although not as scorching as the real sun, it still gave a spiritual shock.

Building such a massive relic in the sky, not appearing actively, even Ancient Sages couldn't find it... This was no longer a human trace, but a divine miracle.
