Chapter 1866: The Shock of the Master Teacher Hall

"No, heaven-recognized master teacher—isn't that recognition from heaven and earth? How does it feel like this one... looks down on the heavens?"

Kneeling on the ground, a master teacher finally noticed something amiss.

Normally, a heaven-recognized master teacher receives cultivation from heaven and earth and enjoys their blessings, but this one before them wore a look of disdain, trying desperately to shake it off, as if he wanted to rid himself of something sticky.

"Looks down on the heavens?"

The old man was startled. He quickly looked up and indeed saw the tall figure, face full of impatience, constantly shaking his body and flapping his hands, unwilling to let the aura of heaven's recognition touch him.

"Heaven wants to recognize him, but he's disgusted... and doesn't want it?"

Swallowing his saliva, the old man's eyes turned red.

A heaven-recognized master teacher was something recorded in history; there could be no mistake about the scene before him, yet it made one's mind wander uncontrollably.

The other master teachers, hearing the conversation, also felt like crying.

Brother, if you don't want it, we do!

Is it really okay to directly refuse and fall out with the heavens?

"Get lost!"

Just as they were feeling frustrated, they heard the figure in the sky shout loudly and kick toward the heavens that were clinging to him.

Boom!

A crack appeared in heaven and earth.

"So he really doesn't want it..."

The earlier doubts were now confirmed beyond question.

This tall figure simply didn't want to be a heaven-recognized master teacher, while the heavens, like sticky rice cake, shamelessly insisted on clinging to him...

"Who on earth is this?"

Unable to hold back any longer, the old man looked closely.

Who the hell is so wicked?

For tens of thousands of years, hundreds of millions of master teachers—who didn't want heaven's recognition, to be famous through the ages, and to pass on their legacy for generations... But this guy, instead, was like shaking off a plaster, even kicking the other party...

Would it kill him not to be so provocative?

Whoosh!

Amid the frustration, the figure turned his head, revealing his full face. It was a young man in his twenties, with sword-like brows and quite handsome.

"It's Zhang Xuan... Master Zhang! Isn't he... dead?"

The old man was stunned.

The Master Teacher Hall had once issued a worldwide order to capture him; every master teacher basically remembered that name. Later, the matter grew bigger and bigger, making it hard not to know...

Three months ago, this man had just committed suicide. How was he alive again, and refusing to be a heaven-recognized master teacher?

What had happened?

All the master teachers were dumbfounded.

The same scene played out in other Master Teacher Halls.

Countless master teachers, looking at the tall figure in the sky, their eyes reddened, feeling as if they had lived in vain, weeping bitterly.

So damn cheap.

A heaven-recognized master teacher, and he didn't want it...

Could he be any more pretentious?

...

Master Teacher Hall Headquarters.

The remaining ancient sages and nine-star master teachers were all seated in the hall.

"...That's how it is. Now that the Spirit Race is mostly unified and the隐患 is gone, our Master Teacher Hall should also adjust its strategy and focus more on teaching and educating..."

Yang Shi looked around the room.

"Master Yang means... Master Zhang Xuan not only didn't betray humanity but is also a heaven-recognized master teacher, and his self-exile from the Master Teacher Hall was only to infiltrate the Spirit Race and eliminate the隐患?"

A nine-star master teacher opened his mouth wide, full of disbelief.

"Yes, but for now, these are just speculations. Although not confirmed, there is ninety percent credibility!" Yang Shi nodded.

"If it's not confirmed, it could be false... If he were a heaven-recognized master teacher, he would have told the Master Teacher Hall long ago. Why hide it?"

"Although he teaches well and has some ability, I still don't believe he is a heaven-recognized master teacher!"

"Yes, we all know Confucius's character and integrity. I've read Zhang Xuan's life story... It doesn't match a heaven-recognized master teacher at all. How could the heavens recognize him?"

...

Some master teachers questioned.

It wasn't that they doubted Yang Shi's words, but a heaven-recognized master teacher hadn't appeared in tens of thousands of years. This master teacher, who had ties to the Spirit God, turned out to be one... Anyone would doubt it.

"I'm not saying this for you to believe; it's an order!"

Yang Shi's face darkened.

He had traveled the world because he disliked the Master Teacher Hall's偏离轨道的行径. Now that he wanted to set things right, there were still people questioning him...

"We can obey the order, but we absolutely do not believe he is a heaven-recognized master teacher. If he can be one, then anyone can!"

Waving his arm, a nine-star master teacher was about to continue speaking when suddenly the ground shook.

Everyone hurried out of the room and looked outside. They saw a familiar figure, towering between heaven and earth, with countless special forces from the sky pouring into him, as if sticking to him.

It was none other than Master Zhang Xuan, the genius who had taught many outstanding disciples and then severed ties with the Master Teacher Hall!

"This is... the power of a master teacher?"

"Not an ordinary master teacher, but a heaven-recognized one..."

All of them had reached nine-star; they didn't need explanations or to go to the Seal Master Hall. With just one look, they understood what was happening.

Now, they were all dumbfounded.

Just after saying Zhang Xuan couldn't be a heaven-recognized master teacher, he appeared, constantly emitting the power of a heaven-recognized master teacher...

Did it have to be so direct?

"No, he's not acknowledging himself as a heaven-recognized master teacher; he's... shaking off that identity!"

Soon, others also noticed.

"Now that you mention it, it's true. It's like he's releasing the master teacher aura from his body, not wanting it anymore..."

"He doesn't even want the master teacher aura of a heaven-recognized master teacher? Is he crazy?"

The many nine-star master teachers and ancient sages stared wide-eyed, as if they had swallowed eggs.

They saw Zhang Xuan before them, face full of disgust, constantly shaking off the master teacher aura from his body, as if it were a bone-attached poison, leaving even the heavens seemingly bewildered and at a loss.

He didn't even want to be a heaven-recognized master teacher... What exactly did he want?

"Do you still think he's not a heaven-recognized master teacher?"

Yang Shi also swallowed his saliva.

His senior brother was indeed extraordinary, always doing things that surprised people.

What others desperately sought, he didn't want and struggled to break free from...

No one else could do that.

"He is..."

"We were blind..."

The several nine-star master teachers who had just questioned now felt their faces burning with pain, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Just after saying he couldn't be a heaven-recognized master teacher, he showed up and made such a scene...

If he wasn't one, then who was?

Hearing the admission and seeing Zhang Xuan's actions, Yang Shi looked helpless, then shook his head and turned to the nine-star master teacher who had spoken earlier: "He is now... he was before, but soon he won't be. How about... you give it a try?"

Refusing heaven's recognition, breaking free from that identity, not wanting to do it... This was probably the only instance in the world!

This senior brother had already created countless miracles. How many more could he create that they couldn't even imagine?

"..." The nine-star master teacher immediately burst into tears.
