Chapter 834: The Saint-Sealing Society

"Of course it's not fake, but Master Kong was sealed as a saint here. However... with such a large mountain peak, do you know the exact location?"

Knowing his thoughts, Luo Ruoxi smiled and said.

"This..."

Zhang Xuan blinked.

The summit of this mountain was flat, covering tens of thousands of acres. When Master Kong was sealed as a saint, he sat cross-legged on the ground. No matter how large he was, it wouldn't exceed a square meter. Finding one square meter out of tens of thousands of acres... indeed difficult!

"What's the use of finding the exact spot where Master Kong was sealed?" Understanding the situation, he was also somewhat puzzled.

Since Master Kong was sealed here, the entire mountain peak could feel the vast aura. If so, what was the point of finding that precise location?

Moreover, even if found, tens of thousands of years had passed, and the Otherworldly Demons had destroyed it many times. What could be found?

"I want to prove a conjecture in my mind... Moreover, this place must contain Master Kong's lingering will. If found, it would greatly benefit you too!" Luo Ruoxi said.

"Let's give it a try!" Seeing her say this, Zhang Xuan nodded. The Eye of Insight wriggled and looked straight at the rock wall before him.

His gaze was like lightning, analyzing everything around him.

These characters were indeed later imitations; the aura they contained was clearly different from Master Kong's.

After looking for a while, he couldn't help shaking his head.

"These characters are just imitations; they've lost Master Kong's traces... I can't see anything!"

"Can't see?" Luo Ruoxi frowned.

That made sense. After multiple attacks by the Otherworldly Demons, the traces left by Master Kong had been mostly washed away. Even the Eye of Insight might be powerless.

Although the Eye of Insight could detect traces and track aura, it couldn't span tens of thousands of years.

"What about the surroundings?"

"The surroundings are the same... Too many people have come; the aura is too mixed!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.

At the Saint-Sealing Platform, countless people came every day to cultivate and gain insights. All kinds of power were intermingled. After tens of thousands of years, it was nearly impossible to detect the traces left by Master Kong.

"In that case, first look at the content on the rock wall. Maybe you can find something from it!"

After a moment's hesitation, Luo Ruoxi said.

Since traces couldn't be found, they had to start with these words.

Even if the characters were imitated by later generations, the content was left by Master Kong. There should be clues.

"Alright!" Zhang Xuan nodded and looked up at the content on the rock wall.

"Flaws!"

He murmured inwardly, and in the blink of an eye, a book fell into his sea of consciousness.

Picking up the book, Zhang Xuan's face immediately showed a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his expression change, Luo Ruoxi looked over.

"Nothing, just that... the breakthrough insights and methods left by Master Kong... don't seem entirely correct!"

Zhang Xuan said.

The content written on the wall, once collected, the Library of Heaven's Path immediately pointed out flaws. Although not many, there were nearly ten.

A piece of insight, not even a cultivation technique, had so many errors. For someone else, he could accept it, even for a nine-star master teacher, it would be taken for granted... But for Master Kong, it was somewhat hard to believe.

Although these errors were very subtle and hard to detect... they were still errors.

The esteemed teacher of all ages actually had such loopholes? Was it real or fake?

"Not entirely correct? You mean... this insight has problems?" Luo Ruoxi was startled.

"Yes, this insight has a total of 3,324 characters, with nine errors in all. Although they are minor, they still deviate from the correct cultivation method..." Zhang Xuan said.

On the way up the mountain, he had collected continuously. The Heavenly Path cultivation technique for breaking through from Saint to Saint Domain had already been extracted. Comparing the two, the errors were obvious.

Although Master Kong left only insights, not a cultivation method, if the errors were not corrected, they could mislead people. Even if one could break through, it wouldn't be optimal.

"You can see the errors left by Master Kong?" Interrupting him, Luo Ruoxi looked at him with bright eyes.

Who was Master Kong?

The teacher of all ages, who founded the master teacher profession, drove away the Otherworldly Demons, and revitalized the human race... His achievements were countless!

For such a figure, even leaving a single character was an object of worship and study for countless people. This guy actually said the insight before them had nine errors!

If he said this in front of her, it was fine, but if it got out, he would definitely be beaten to a pulp by fanatical master teachers.

"Oh... just a casual observation. It might be my misunderstanding..." Zhang Xuan was startled, realizing he had said too much, and quickly smiled awkwardly.

The Library of Heaven's Path could see errors without a doubt, but he was now just a small figure at the Return to Void realm. Saying outright that the celestial master teacher Kong had errors would only invite suspicion.

"Your understanding is not wrong. This insight indeed has nine errors!"

Without pressing further, Luo Ruoxi nodded instead, frowning: "There are two possibilities for this situation. First, this was left when Master Kong had just broken through to Saint Domain. At that time, he was not yet the teacher of all ages, nor had he reached the point of universal reverence. It's normal to have errors!"

Seeing that she didn't pursue it, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help nodding.

When Master Kong first broke through to Saint Domain, his strength was not much higher than Zhang Xuan's current level. No matter how talented, how could he compare to himself, who possessed the Library of Heaven's Path?

It was normal to have misunderstandings.

For someone who had just reached Saint Domain to have only nine errors in his understanding of cultivation was already incredibly impressive.

"What's the second?" Zhang Xuan looked over.

"Second, he deliberately left them. Those who come to the Saint-Sealing Platform to learn and gain insights vary in quality. No one can guarantee there are no bad people or Otherworldly Demon experts. If they learned it, wouldn't they gain benefits undeservedly? So, deliberately leaving a few errors also lets all master teachers know that believing in books entirely is worse than having no books. Even if he is the teacher of all ages, one cannot fully trust him; one must discern and have one's own thoughts!"

Luo Ruoxi continued.

"This..." Zhang Xuan was stunned.

To be honest, he hadn't thought as much as she had.

What she said made sense.

Students can learn knowledge from teachers, but even when learning, they shouldn't believe everything. They need a spirit of doubt and the ability to question in order to surpass and go further.

Could it be... Master Kong deliberately left nine seemingly plausible but harmless errors to make later generations question?

Daring to doubt even Master Kong would greatly benefit future cultivation.

If one believed completely, even if they could break through to Saint Domain, the path ahead would likely be blocked.

"If it's the first case, after Master Kong founded the Master Teacher Pavilion, he should have felt regret for his flaws and likely returned to make amends... But he didn't, so the second possibility is highly likely!"

After thinking, Zhang Xuan said.

"Good!" Hearing his analysis, Luo Ruoxi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help nodding.

If the errors were due to ignorance, after becoming the teacher of all ages, he would surely feel regret and modify them. But he didn't, so... the second possibility was very likely.

However, whether this insight was correct or not probably had little to do with finding the exact spot where Master Kong was sealed. Even if studied more, it was useless.

"Let's study it first. If we can't find anything, I'll look around!"

Not continuing this topic, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and immersed his mind in the insight left by Master Kong.

This insight detailed his process of breaking through to Saint Domain. Although it didn't describe a cultivation technique, it described every detail of the breakthrough. If one compiled these and circulated true energy, they could form a complete technique.

Of course, others were not Master Kong, nor saints appointed by heaven. If they truly cultivated according to this method, they would likely not break through but instead suffer qi deviation.

For example, Zhang Xuan's Heavenly Path technique could only be cultivated by himself. If given to others, they would die before completing it.

After studying for a long time without finding anything, Zhang Xuan stood up helplessly. The Eye of Insight wriggled as he looked around.

The mountain peak was vast and open. Except for the area in front of the rock wall, which was crowded with people, other places were quite empty.

With the texture in his eyes wriggling, he quickly made a full circle but still shook his head helplessly.

It seemed the place where Master Kong was sealed was not so easy to find.

No wonder.

If it were easy, it would have been discovered by the Otherworldly Demons long ago and wouldn't have remained until now.

Returning to the rock wall, he was about to look for Luo Ruoxi when he saw that the previously quiet rock wall had become very lively. Countless people were discussing animatedly, completely different from the earlier deep contemplation.

"Friend, what's going on? Wasn't it quiet here just now?"

He couldn't help asking a middle-aged man nearby.

"Oh, it's time for the daily Saint-Sealing Society lecture and teaching. Everyone is preparing in advance to receive knowledge and unify their questions so they can ask better!"

The middle-aged man glanced at him and explained.

"Saint-Sealing Society?" Zhang Xuan was dumbfounded.

What was that?

"You don't know?"

Seeing his bewildered look, the middle-aged man shook his head: "The Saint-Sealing Society is an organization dedicated to studying this insight. It consists of over a dozen seven-star master teachers and several hundred six-star upper-grade master teachers. They have studied it for who knows how many years and know it inside out. If we read it, studying for a month might not yield results, but listening to their explanations is different. They can deeply uncover the meaning Master Kong intended to convey, letting people know the true thoughts of this celestial master teacher during his breakthrough!"

"There's such an organization..." Zhang Xuan was amazed.

This thing, to put it simply, was like the Redology Society, Jinology Society, or those studying the Three Kingdoms in his previous life—all created by people with too much time on their hands.

When you can't even fill your stomach, who cares about Red, Jin, or Three Kingdoms?

Master Kong was sealed as a saint, and in his joy, he left behind this insight. That was all. What was there to study?

And so many master teachers, studying it for who knows how many years...

Just thinking about it was intoxicating.

"Yes, look, they're coming..."

Just as he was wondering, he heard the middle-aged man mutter, and then saw three old men walking through the air, robes fluttering like immortals.
