Chapter 1852: The Sovereign of the Alien Spirits

"Alright, that's enough for today. Each of you go cultivate!"

After lecturing for a while, Zhang Xuan said no more.

Once one's cultivation reached the Saint realm, mere instruction was no longer of much use; what was needed more was talent and one's own comprehension.

It was precisely because his students had been taught too much that they had lost their own creative abilities, leading to such a joke.

"Teacher, is Chenyong Emperor also your student?" After cultivating for a while, Zhao Ya could no longer contain her curiosity and asked.

The other fellow disciples also looked over in unison.

They had long heard that this Yong Emperor had a teacher comparable to a deity, and had thought it was fabricated to stabilize imperial power, never expecting it to be their own teacher.

"You still haven't recognized who he is?" Zhang Xuan shook his head.

"Recognize?" Everyone was stunned.

Wang Ying recalled something, her face changed, and her lips trembled: "Could he be Liu Yang... Junior Brother?"

Earlier, she had felt that this new Yong Emperor's fighting style was strange—clearly in danger, yet he could identify their flaws and turn the tide. Once or twice might be coincidence, but if it happened repeatedly, it was thought-provoking.

She had just suspected whether he had seen them before, and now she realized it was highly likely that he was the missing junior brother.

But wasn't Liu Yang human? How could he become the Sovereign of the Alien Spirits, and disguise himself so perfectly that nothing was detectable?

The others clearly found it hard to believe as well, hoping to get a definite answer from their teacher.

"Correct!" Zhang Xuan did not deny it. "He is indeed Liu Yang. He encountered some opportunities that led to his current identity. However, this matter must never be leaked, or she will face great trouble and danger."

Although the other party now had complete control over the Alien Spirit race, it was also predicated on him being a member of the Alien Spirit race.

Once his true identity was known to others, waves of opposition would arise one after another. If things went wrong, the newly stabilized regime might be overthrown again, and all previous efforts would be wasted.

Therefore, it was better to keep a low profile.

Just like him—aloof and refined, never fond of showing off, always gentle and reserved.

"So it is..."

Hearing the teacher's personal confirmation, Zhao Ya and the others were all at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

They had thought the teacher was still recovering from his injuries and wanted to do something to prove themselves, never dreaming that the teacher had already completely resolved the threat of the Alien Spirit race.

With this junior or senior brother in charge, it was only a matter of time before the Spirit race became a vassal of humanity.

Leaving everyone to continue cultivating in the folded space, Zhang Xuan returned to the royal city.

The enthronement ceremony was still ongoing. If before, many experts had objections to the unification of the three emperors, after the earlier experience, no one dared to question or refute anymore.

"This is our sovereign, irreplaceable."

"The true golden age of the Spirit race is about to come..."

Hope shone in everyone's eyes.

Slowly sitting on the high throne, Liu Yang's heart surged with excitement, unable to contain himself.

Without his teacher, he would have been just an ordinary student of Tianxuan Kingdom, perhaps not even reaching the third-rank martial artist level. But now, he controlled an entire race, turning all threats to humanity into his own use.

Something he would never have dared to dream of before.

"No objections!" His heart growing more excited, Liu Yang slowly stood up and looked around below. "Today, I am the Sovereign of the Alien Spirits..."

...

"You say that the new sovereign of the Alien Spirit race announced on the day of his enthronement a temporary cessation of hostilities with humanity? A thousand years of peaceful coexistence?"

"And also requested the Master Teacher Academy to establish mutual trade? And even place the market inside the underground cavern?"

"Once mutual trade begins, a large number of master teachers will inevitably flood in. Aren't they afraid that humanity will take the opportunity to ambush them and uproot them?"

"To be honest, these are nothing. The main thing is that he advocates respecting teachers and valuing education, promoting propriety and righteousness. Alien Spirit clansmen can attend master teachers' lectures, and he even encourages intermarriage with humans. This is a pace to transform the Alien Spirit race into humanity..."

In the Master Teacher Continent's Master Teacher Academy, all surviving ancient sages, not asleep, gathered together. Looking at the report before them, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.

The new Yong Emperor of the Alien Spirit race had unified the world, and they had prepared for battle... but they never dreamed that this new sovereign would directly offer so many conditions favorable to humanity.

Once these were implemented, with humanity's innate advantages and assimilative power, war would never be able to advance from then on.

"I think it has something to do with... Senior Brother!"

After a moment of silence, no one knew what had happened, until an old man suddenly spoke.

Yang Xuan, Master Yang.

"The senior brother you speak of, is that Heaven-recognized Master Zhang Xuan?"

A human ancient sage could not help but ask.

Previously, Master Yang had told the other ancient sages about his senior brother being a Heaven-recognized master teacher, and many knew that this rising genius, like Master Kong, had been recognized by the heavens.

"Indeed, it is him. According to intelligence, he has been in the Alien Spirit race for over two months..." Master Yang said.

"You don't mean to say that he resolved all the threats of the Alien Spirit race in just over two months and made them willing to befriend humanity, do you?"

An ancient sage sneered.

Something that so many of them, along with countless generations of ancestors, had united to persist for tens of thousands of years without achieving, a fellow who hadn't even reached ancient sage level had accomplished in less than two months? Did you think it was child's play?

"Qian Sheng is right. Master Yang, are you oversimplifying things?"

Another ancient sage objected.

"Whether it's oversimplifying, we can know by analyzing."

Master Yang was not at all anxious, but looked over calmly: "This new Sovereign of the Alien Spirits, what is his name? I need not say more; everyone must have seen it, right?"

"It's called..." Lowering his head to look at the materials, an ancient sage nodded affirmatively: "Yang Liu."

"Correct, it's Yang Liu... Gentlemen, do you know that my senior brother has eight direct disciples, among whom there is a missing student named Liu Yang."

"Liu Yang?" Everyone exchanged glances. "Yang Liu? You suspect that this Yang Liu is the new Yong Emperor... Liu Yang?"

"Correct! The names are so close, and this Yong Emperor also has a teacher who suddenly appeared..."

Master Yang stated his speculation: "Most crucially, the six attackers who suddenly appeared at the enthronement ceremony, according to the intelligence, perfectly match Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and the others. And they obeyed the teacher's words without any resistance... Apart from my senior brother, I can't think of anyone else with such ability."

Everyone fell silent.

Those who could cultivate to the ancient sage level were all exceptionally intelligent. With so much evidence now so obvious, denying it would be an insult to their intelligence.

Master Zhang's student, single-handedly unifying the Alien Spirit race—how did this feel so fantastical?
