Chapter 2095: One Hundred Thousand True Immortals (Part 2)

"The sect leader's purpose is... to increase the purity of spiritual energy?"

"But... doing this is too extravagant!"

"Yes, but in this way, the spiritual energy is not only pure but also refined, making it easier to absorb and break through!"

"That's true, but the transition from Void Immortal to True Immortal is a bottleneck in cultivation, related to talent; not everyone can accomplish it..."

"That's the truth; without talent, even the best resources are useless!"

...

Those who had been puzzled about why Zhang Xuan gathered everyone and sought the array flags suddenly understood everything.

Clearly, he intended to create a better breakthrough environment for these peak Void Immortals, helping them break through and achieve True Immortal strength.

A dozen or so demigods exploded, using their lifelong cultivation to help so many people advance... in the entire Abandoned Continent, no one had ever been so extravagant.

In fact, it couldn't even be called extravagance; it was outright wastefulness!

After all, the importance of any single demigod far exceeded that of these cultivators below.

Moreover, using the power within demigods to aid advancement was a good idea, but... whether it could succeed also depended heavily on talent.

Even with world-class coaching... there is only one world champion.

Without talent, even with good resources and diligent cultivation, one cannot break through.

With about eighty thousand peak Void Immortals, wanting half of them to advance... difficult!

One could say it was almost impossible.

While everyone was puzzled, they saw the sect leader in the air sit cross-legged, his entire body radiating golden light, like a god or Buddha!

"Now I will teach you the technique to break through to True Immortal..."

His voice resounded in every cultivator's ear, as if speaking right beside them, clear and distinct.

"Is this... Confucius's unique Microcosmic Principle?"

After listening for a while, Wu Chen's pupils contracted.

His young master, being a renowned teacher, was certainly capable of teaching, but giving a lecture to eighty thousand people at once was still extremely difficult... the more people, the more thoughts, and the harder it was to synchronize.

For this reason, one-on-one teaching was what countless students dreamed of, while the more students there were, the more chaotic and difficult to control.

Teaching over eighty thousand people simultaneously—whether Confucius himself had done this was unknown, but today, he was witnessing it firsthand.

The exquisite words turned into spiritual energy, descending from the sky, mixed with spiritual power, drilling into every cultivator.

The more they listened, the more excited they became, each too moved to speak.

The many sea creatures initially thought that since their life essence differed from humans, listening to the lecture would have little effect. But unexpectedly, after just a short while, they all felt a tingling sensation, and the pores and meridians in their bodies opened simultaneously.

What he explained was not a true technique, but a principle that could lead to breakthrough.

The ultimate truth of heaven and earth!

After listening, any life form could advance, becoming stronger in cultivation and purer in power.

Flower Claw was the name of a crayfish.

Named for its pair of colorful claws.

It had reached the peak of Void Immortal decades ago, but unfortunately, due to an accident, its foundation was damaged, and it could no longer make any progress.

The one who injured it was a True Immortal disciple of a sect. At that time, he caught it and a group of companions, intending to make them into spicy crayfish, but it escaped, though it suffered severe injuries.

One claw was broken, and seven or eight meridians in its body were severed. It was already good enough just to maintain its current cultivation.

This time, when the king summoned them, it had planned to find that sect disciple and tear him into eight pieces; even if it couldn't kill him, biting him once would count as revenge...

But before it could find that person, the king's master began to teach.

Initially, it didn't care, thinking it impossible to break through again. But after listening for a while, its shrimp shell turned bright red, and countless spiritual energy converged, causing the cultivation that had been stuck and unable to advance to suddenly explode!

Boom!

It broke through to True Immortal.

"I broke through..." Flower Claw wept tears of joy: "I no longer have to worry about being caught and made into spicy crayfish..."

Having broken through to True Immortal, it now had the ability to protect itself and no longer needed to fear those sect disciples!

"Since he is the king's master, he is my master, Flower Claw. From now on, I will be utterly loyal, even if he wants to kill me or make me into garlic-flavored crayfish, I will accept it..."

Looking at the figure suspended in the air, the crayfish gritted its teeth and made a decision in its heart.

...

The same scene occurred among all the sea creatures.

Clams, scallops, oysters, razor clams... a series of sea creatures all broke through their shackles.

"I'm even hungrier..."

Little Yellow Chicken drooled.

"So impressive..."

Seeing that in less than half an hour, the many sacred beasts previously stuck at the peak of Void Immortal broke through in succession, with the number exceeding half of the eighty thousand, Han Jianqiu and the others were again too shocked to speak.

This method of promoting advancement was simply too terrifying!

Giving one lecture, and over half of eighty thousand lives broke through...

In the past, they wouldn't have dared to dream of it, but the man before them had truly accomplished it.

"Alright, gather these breakthrough cultivators with the other True Immortals. Wu Chen, prepare the altar and begin the sacrifice!"

Seeing that over forty thousand had already broken through, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed his bodily fatigue, and instructed.

The fact that so many could break through at once was largely due to his understanding of cultivation, but the array and the spiritual energy from so many demigod-level experts could not be ignored.

How pure was the true energy within demigod-level experts? Even a trace entering a Void Immortal's body could allow them to break through their existing shackles. Now, with over a dozen demigods exploding simultaneously and various arrays neutralizing the energy...

It would be hard not to break through!

Of course, without his lecture, even if these cultivators could take this step, it would be impossible without several years or even decades.

The unique classroom of Microcosmic Principle greatly shortened this process. Most importantly, the forty thousand cultivators who attended the class would henceforth have no disloyalty toward Zhang Xuan, remaining truly faithful.

Entering the Spring and Autumn Canon with his mind, Zhang Xuan quickly recovered from his recent exhaustion.

A few minutes later, he was fully restored, no longer feeling tired.

By then, the cultivators who had reached True Immortal were assembled, and the altar was fully set up.

"Let's begin!"

With one hundred thousand True Immortals gathered, Zhang Xuan did not rush to perform the sacrifice but instead continued to hover in the air and teach.

"Now I will talk about the methods of martial technique cultivation..."

To make all lives united as one, there was only one way... to become the teacher of ten thousand!

Teaching, allowing them to gain progress and benefits, would truly earn their gratitude and prevent disloyalty, helping him purify that aura and create true divine energy.

"Martial technique cultivation?"

Having witnessed the miracles created by this sect leader, everyone became even more attentive, looking at him with admiration.

"The key points of martial techniques lie in..."

Seeing everyone's seriousness, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled lightly, and began to speak.

Word by word, they lingered in the sky, filled with the charm and meaning of the heavenly way.

"Teaching now, cramming at the last moment, isn't it a bit late..."

Just then, a faint voice sounded, and the sky trembled as a figure tore through the void and appeared before everyone.

Dressed in a long robe, tall in stature, with a smile in his brows.

"You..."

Zhang Xuan's pupils contracted, and he stopped teaching, unable to help but stand up.

The one who appeared before him was none other than Confucius, who had taken the divine energy and disappeared.

At this moment, all his aura was hidden within his body, making it impossible to gauge his depth, but he was as dazzling as the noonday sun, inspiring a feeling from the depths of one's heart that one dared not oppose him.

Being able to achieve this could only mean one thing...

The shackles of divinity... had been broken!
