Chapter 1768: The Final Trial of Master Kong

"Forget it!"

Unexpectedly, these fellows ran faster than one another, as if seeing him was like encountering a flood or a fierce beast. Zhang Xuan was speechless.

As for the alien spirit clan, he did want to kill them, but Yan Xue and the sacred beast... he really just wanted to talk.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Ya and the others all smiled.

"They may not be afraid, but rather unwilling to cause trouble. After all, at this point, the Spring and Autumn Ceremony is the most important..."

Afraid he might be embarrassed, Luo Ruoxin explained.

"Mm."

Understanding this, Zhang Xuan said no more and instructed, "Zhao Ya, Wei Ruyan, these paintings are all invaluable. Pack them all up!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Ya and the other nodded simultaneously and swiftly flew over.

"Ahem... Master Zhang, these are treasures left by Master Kong. Isn't it somewhat disrespectful to just take them away?"

The two master teachers who had followed from the Master Teacher Hall looked on helplessly.

Coming here and immediately taking everything... isn't that too disrespectful to Master Kong?

"Then what do you suggest..."

Zhang Xuan looked over.

"We should at least pay our respects before taking them..." One master teacher's face flushed red.

"..." Zhang Xuan was speechless.

He thought it would be a good suggestion, but it turned out to be this.

Shaking his head, he continued to give orders, "Carry on!"

Zhao Ya and the others worked quickly, and before long, all the paintings on the walls were collected.

"Let's go!" Having collected the scrolls, Zhang Xuan pointed his finger, and the World-Transmitting Mother Talisman appeared. He looked at it, "Little Talisman, where is the Spring and Autumn Ceremony?"

"In the innermost central hall..." Little Talisman said.

"Lead the way!"

Without further ado, Zhang Xuan instructed.

With a response, Little Talisman flew straight ahead.

The main hall was layered and intricate, with countless paths. The group moved quickly.

Along the way, they encountered many treasures, and Zhang Xuan arranged for them to be collected one after another, like a plague of locusts, not even leaving ordinary stone statues behind.

Seeing such a genius so greedy for wealth, the two master teachers were full of helplessness, truly unsure whether following this fellow was right or wrong.

If Master Kong knew he had such a descendant, he would probably be furious to death!

"Why isn't there a single decent treasure? Is Master Kong so poor?"

Unlike their shock, Zhang Xuan was displeased as he collected.

The items collected along the way included calligraphy, paintings, zithers, brushes, and such. They were indeed precious and would fetch astronomical prices outside, but none were truly remarkable, far inferior to the treasures obtained in the branch halls.

"..." The two master teachers clutched their chests.

This statement was too blasphemous; they could only pretend not to hear.

Moving forward, they soon arrived at a hall.

"It's right here..."

Little Talisman said, gently flickering over a stone tablet.

Buzz!

As if something was activated, a tall statue in the center of the hall slowly turned around.

It was Master Kong!

"Being able to enter here means you have passed the preliminary trials. However, to obtain the Spring and Autumn Ceremony, you must pass one final trial!"

A faint voice sounded, penetrating the mind, giving a feeling like a spring breeze.

Obtaining the World-Transmitting Mother Talisman, obtaining the array core, entering the main hall... these were all tests. Reaching this step proved one was an absolute top genius, worthy of receiving the inheritance, but... there was still one final trial.

"The passage ahead contains illusion arrays, killing arrays, and various inner demons. If you can pass through, you will see the Spring and Autumn Ceremony and have the opportunity to refine it. If not, rest assured, there will be no danger to your life, but you will be teleported outside the main hall, forever unrelated to my inheritance!"

The statue pointed forward.

Zhang Xuan looked and indeed saw a passage in the center of the hall, stretching straight into the distance, its end invisible.

"Begin. Each person has only one chance. You may go together or separately; there is no restriction..." The statue continued.

"How does this passage test us?"

Zhang Xuan looked at Little Talisman.

With the naked eye, the passage was smooth, with nothing there. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't find any traces of formations. How was it tested?

Could it have some special effect on one's state of mind?

"This was left by Master Kong specifically to test descendants. I'm not too sure about the specifics either..." Little Talisman said awkwardly.

"Alright."

Knowing that this fellow was useless at critical moments, Zhang Xuan activated his Eyes of Insight and looked into it.

After scanning for a while, he still found nothing, as if the passage had no energy fluctuations at all.

"Teacher, let me try first. Whether I succeed or not, it will prepare you."

Zhao Ya stepped forward.

"Be careful!"

Although Master Kong said there was no danger, Zhang Xuan was still worried.

"Mm." Smiling faintly, Zhao Ya walked in first, quickly reaching the passage. Without any hesitation, she stepped inside.

Buzz!

A pure white light enveloped her, and the next moment, the girl seemed to fall into some illusion, standing still in place.

After an unknown time, a frigid aura suddenly burst from her body, and she seemed to transform into an Ice Queen, with waves of mighty energy constantly冲击ing the surroundings, trying to shatter the passage.

However, though her power was strong, the passage was even stronger. No matter how fierce the attack, no change occurred.

"It seems Zhao Ya's Pure Yin Constitution has been reactivated..."

After watching for a while, Luo Ruoxin suddenly said.

Startled, Zhang Xuan looked closely and found that, as she said, Zhao Ya had become stronger, only a hair's breadth away from the Ancient Sage, as if she could break through at any moment.

Enveloped by the Pure Yin Constitution, she was like a fairy, exuding a proud aura, becoming more elegant and moving.

Every move she made was in harmony with heaven and earth, carrying a special charm.

Indeed, in just a few minutes, her constitution was reactivated, becoming more perfect and complete.

Whoosh!

Just as he was about to look closely at what power caused her constitution to transform, a light enveloped her again, and the next moment, as if teleported, the girl vanished from the spot.

"Not passed!"

The voice of Master Kong's statue sounded.

"Not passed?"

Startled, Zhang Xuan then understood.

The statue had just said that if one could not pass, they would be teleported out of the main hall. So it seemed Zhao Ya had been sent away.

"Teacher, let me!"

Seeing her senior sister teleported away, Wei Ruyan stepped forward.

Like Zhao Ya, she seemed to fall into an illusion. Before long, her special constitution was also activated, poison spreading, power surging.

Though she also did not冲击 the Ancient Sage, her power underwent a great transformation, seeming only one step away from the final step.

Soon, she too was teleported away.

"Let's go together."

Seeing Luo Qiqi and the remaining two master teachers also wanting to go, Zhang Xuan no longer hesitated and nodded.
