Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2077

They knew how talented their teacher was. If it had been a year or even longer, he would have long recovered from his injuries, and he might even have made a name for himself. However, if it had only been a month, it was likely that he would still be trapped in Xuanjiang City, unable to leave.

After all, this was a brand new world. Ancient Sage 4-dan cultivators might be able to command the wind and rain on the Master Teacher Continent, but here, they were nothing!

“Un. Let’s ask around!”

With such thoughts in mind, Zhao Ya turned to a servant not too far away and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to meet your master to express our gratitude!”

“Yes!” The servant quickly backed down, and not too long later, a middle-aged man walked over with widened strides. With a look of astonishment on his face, he exclaimed, “To think that all of you would wake up so quickly despite your severe injuries …”

While he was not skilled in the Way of Medicine, the physicians in the manor had taken a look at them, and under normal circumstances, it would take at least a few months for them to wake up. Yet, all of them had woken up in just a few days. Their cultivation was probably not as simple as it seemed.

Could it be that they were about to turn around just like Dan Xiaotian?

“Zhang Yuanwai, thank you for saving our lives!”

The nine of them stood up and clasped their fists.

“You’re being too polite. It’s nothing much.”

Zhang Yuanwai chuckled.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Ya decided to get straight to the point. “Our senior and junior are severely injured, so we can’t really remember much about Xuanjiang City. May I know … where does Xuanjiang City belong to? Is there a Master Teacher Pavilion or something like that?”

“Mingshi Tang?” Zhang Yuanwai blinked his eyes. “I’ve never heard of it before.”

“Xuanjiang City is under the jurisdiction of one of the Six Sects, the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion.”

“Six Sects?”

“There are a total of six sects in the world, and they are the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion,” Zhang Yuanwai explained.

The crowd nodded in realization.

It seemed like they were indeed in the Azure. It was a completely different world from the Master Teacher Continent.

“Speaking of the Six Sects, something happened a few days ago that shocked the entire world!”

Zhang Yuanwai’s interest was piqued as well. “The new head of the Myriad Beasts Hall goes by the name of Zheng Yang. Have you heard of him? ”

“Zheng Yang?”

Everyone was taken aback. The remaining eight people looked at the young man in the middle.

“He has the same name as me?”

Zheng Yang felt awkward.

“Your name is also Zheng Yang?” Zhang Yuanwai froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. “There are many people with the same name in the world. Don’t be nervous!”

In the entire continent, there were more than a million people named Zheng Yang. It was normal for people to have the same name.

“Yeah … I just think it’s a little vulgar …” Zheng Yang nodded.

In fact, the same name is nothing, but I feel a little surprised.

The Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, one of the six major sects, was actually the same as him…

“Vulgar? In terms of people with the same name, the newly appointed sect master of the Seven Star Pavilion might even surpass him … “Zhang Yuanwai said with a smile.

“Could it be … even more vulgar than the name ‘Zheng Yang’? What a horrible name! Only then can he surpass them? ”

Liu Yang’s interest was piqued. He looked at Zheng Yang with ridicule in his eyes.

“Oh, his name is Liu Yang!” Zhang Yuanwai smiled.

“…” Liu Yang.

Seeing that everyone’s gazes were on the young man, Zhang Yuanwai also noticed that something was amiss. He looked at them doubtfully and asked, “Why? Don’t you think that this name is vulgar and horrible? In my opinion, it’s several times worse than the name ‘Zheng Yang’! Of course, Brother Zheng, I’m not saying that your name is horrible. I’m just lamenting … ”

Liu Yang’s face darkened. “That … My name is Liu Yang as well!”

“…” Zhang Yuanwai’s face twitched. Did he just save a bunch of people with the same name?

After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “Is there anyone among you who goes by the name of … Zhang Xuan?”

“You … know Zhang Xuan?” Zhao Ya was taken aback.

“Indeed. There’s no one on the Forsaken Continent who doesn’t know that name,” Zhang Yuanwai replied. “He’s the sect leader of our Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion!”

“The sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion?”

This time, it was Zhao Ya and the others’ turn to be stunned.

“Could it be someone with the same name?”

“Our teacher has only been here for slightly more than a month. How could he possibly become the sect leader of one of the Six Sects?”

“In order to become the sect leader, his cultivation has to be at Heavenly High Immortal at the very least …”

…

While they were chatting, Zhang Yuanwai had told them about the cultivation realms. While they were not too sure what the Semi-Divinity realm was, he did know that there were Pseudo Immortal, True Immortal, and High Immortal realms.

In order to become the sect leader of a sect, at the very least, one’s cultivation had to be at Heavenly High Immortal realm. It had only been a month since their teacher had arrived, and it was hard to tell whether he had recovered from his injuries or not.

Zhao Ya asked, “What does Sect Leader Zhang Xuan look like? Do you know? ”

“He looks to be in his early twenties. Speaking of which, he seems to have some affinity with our Xuanjiang City. He was injured a month ago, and Dan Xiaotian saved him from the city. Following that, he became the sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion …”

Speaking of Zhang Xuan’s experiences, Zhang Yuanwai couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “Not only so … the Sect Leader Liu Yang and Sect Leader Zheng Yang that I mentioned to you earlier … are actually just him in disguise. In other words, as the head of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, Seven Star Pavilion, Myriad Beasts Sect, and Starchaser Palace, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him the number one expert in the world … ”

“The head of the four sects?”

“The number one expert in the world?”

Zhao Ya and the others clutched their hair in frenzy. Yuan Tao had even bitten his own tongue, but he did not realize it at all.

At this moment, it was clear to them that the Zhang Xuan that Zhang Yuanwai was talking about was their teacher.

It was one thing for him to have the same name, but surely he couldn’t possibly be using the same name as them!

They were still thinking that their teacher might not have fully recovered from his injuries even though he had only been here for a month, but when they heard the news, their hearts began to pound furiously.

Wasn’t his cultivation speed a little too incredible?

In just a single month, he had advanced from Ancient Sage 4-dan to Pseudo Immortal, True Immortal, and finally, High Immortal realm. On top of that, he had single-handedly unified the four sects and become the number one expert in the world …

Their teacher was still their teacher, an existence that they could only look up to.

“Do you know Sect Leader Zhang?”

Seeing the dazed looks on everyone’s faces, Zhang Yuanwai immediately realized that something was amiss.

With a bitter smile, Zhao Ya replied, “We don’t just know him. If I’m not mistaken, he’s our teacher …”

“Teacher …” Zhang Yuanwai was stunned.

“I’ll have to trouble Zhang Yuanwai to escort us to the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion …”

After asking a few more questions, Zhao Ya finally confirmed that the Zhang Xuan that Zhang Yuanwai was talking about was indeed their teacher.

“That’s easy. I’ll get it done right now!”

Zhang Yuanwai hurriedly left.

If what Zhang Yuanwai said was true, and they were indeed Sect Leader Zhang Xuan’s direct disciples, then as their benefactor, he would surely be able to rise to greater heights!

…

Sitting at the peak of the mountain, Zhang Yuanwai waited for an hour before the red string on the spear floated up, pointing in a certain direction.

Zhang Xuan stood up.

The red string was pointing in the direction of Xuanjiang River!

It’s no wonder I couldn’t find the entrance …

Previously, he had asked Dan Xiaotian where he had saved him, and this time, he had paid close attention to the area, but he was unable to find anything. In the end, it turned out that it was in Xuanjiang River!

The river was extremely wide. If there was really a formation set up in it, even the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion wouldn’t be able to notice it.

After all, the flow of water could easily conceal spiritual energy fluctuations.

Zhang Xuan stowed the formation flags and spear into his storage ring before heading in the direction that the red string was pointing in with Wu Chen.

After entering the river, they began swimming downstream.

The Xuanjiang River was over a hundred meters deep, and it didn’t take long for them to arrive at the bottom of the river. Zhang Xuan frowned.

According to his observation, everything within a radius of several hundred kilometers was normal, no different from an ordinary river.

“Young Master …”

Wu Chen couldn’t tell what was going on either, so he looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the formation earlier, and the passageway wasn’t here?

“Calm down …”

After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan took out a droplet of blood and flicked it.

Weng!

With a light buzz, the sand-filled riverbed suddenly rippled, and an average-sized stone door appeared before them.

Walking up to the stone door, Zhang Xuan pushed it lightly.

The stone door opened, and a pitch-black passageway appeared before them.

Walking in first, Zhang Xuan saw Wu Chen looking at him with a perplexed look on his face. With a smile, he said, “On the other side of the passageway is Kong Shi’s seal. In order to prevent the mercury-like zhenqi of the Azure from leaking out, they must have made some preparations as well. Even though my blood is vastly different from Kong Shi’s, as a Celestial Master Teacher, there should be some similarities. So, it’s possible to use my blood to activate the seal. Otherwise, it’s impossible to find it! ”

In truth, it was not that they were Celestial Master Teachers but that they possessed a fragment of the heavens in their bodies.

It was just that they did not want to reveal it to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen nodded in realization.

Walking down the passageway, it did not take long for them to arrive at a vast hall. There were eight Ancient Sage 4-dan guards in there, and they were currently drinking wine.

“What’s the difference between locking us up here and imprisoning us?”

“This is way too boring!”

“I heard that there’s another world on the other side, and the cultivations of the people there are extremely low …”

“Their cultivation is indeed low, but the other side has sealed the passageway. There’s no way we can get through at all!”

The guards muttered as they drank.

“They are probably the guards sent by Kong Shi!”

Hearing their conversation, Zhang Xuan waved his hand lightly.

Before they could react, they had already been reduced to dust.

Even though they were under orders to guard the passageway, they were still a huge threat to the Hundred Schools of Philosophers. Rather than keeping them around and exposing their whereabouts, it was better to just kill them.

Given his current strength, he should be able to leave no traces behind if he were to make a move.

At the very center of the hall was a massive vortex. Surges of mercury-like spiritual energy were being sucked into it, disappearing into the distance.

The doors on both sides of the vortex were inscribed with unique inscriptions. Taking a closer look, they bore some resemblance to the altar in the Starchaser Palace.

It seems like when Kong Shi constructed this passageway, he was worried that someone would block the entrance of the passageway. So, if one were to exit this passageway, they would be teleported to any location in Xuanjiang City.

Taking a closer look, Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.

(I recommend a new historical novel titled ‘Han Si Becomes an Official’ by Zhuo Yiyi. Why is it called Yiyi? It’s because he would never write a book that doesn’t sell its copyright. Feel free to take a look.)
