Chapter 1531: Crazy Famous Teacher Hall Headquarters (Part 2)

Heaven-recognized Master Teachers are extraordinary individuals, comparable to Master Kong himself. Once they appear, they are destined to change history and command the Master Teacher Pavilion. With a single word, any Master Teacher would obey without question. Who wouldn't aspire to be their disciple? To revere them as their leader?

While a 9-star Master Teacher is highly respected by outsiders, they are nothing in the eyes of a Heaven-recognized Master Teacher! Back in Master Kong's time, all three thousand of his direct disciples had reached the 9-star level. Even those who merely audited his classes were 9-star! An elder like Qu, for instance, would likely not even be accepted as a disciple by such a person.

"A Heaven-recognized Master Teacher is just a legend!"

Hearing Elder Qu's lament, Pavilion Master Ren did not refute him; he also sighed, "If such a figure truly appeared among humanity now, they could undoubtedly rally everyone. Even if the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe returned, they would never dare to cause trouble. And I, too, would humbly obey their commands and follow their lead..." Hearing the acting pavilion master's heartfelt words, everyone nodded in agreement.

The ancient era was one of the darkest times. The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was at the peak of its power, establishing forces that were as strong as, if not stronger than, the current Master Teacher Pavilion. Yet, Master Kong, single-handedly, overturned that darkness, demonstrating his immense power. Because of this, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe feared Master Kong to an extreme degree. Merely mentioning his name filled them with dread, and they dared not overstep their bounds. If another individual of such astonishing talent and brilliance were to emerge, they would surely advance humanity to an unimaginable peak.

"Forget it, these are mere fantasies; there's no point discussing them! I became acting pavilion master because my strength is somewhat greater, but in truth, my virtue and prestige are lacking. For now, the Master Teacher Pavilion can suppress major powers like the Zhang Clan and the Glacier Palace, but if we were to handle this matter unjustly, it would be a moral failing... At that point, even if they didn't openly defy us, their half-hearted compliance with orders behind our backs would lead to indelible disaster!"

Pavilion Master Ren looked around. "Master Kong once said, 'Examine yourself three times daily,' and I have always kept this in mind, never daring to forget it! Therefore, while Zhang Xuan has merits, they pale in comparison to those of the Zhang Clan, the Saint Son Hall, and the Glacier Palace. Weighing everything, this is the only way forward; there's no need for further debate. How about this: we'll also give him a chance. Once he's found, don't rush to harm him. If the three major powers are willing to reconcile and drop the matter, then there's no problem. If not, then we will have no choice but to take action..."

"The acting pavilion master is absolutely right..." everyone nodded simultaneously.

Elder Wu and the others, who had previously spoken, were now filled with shame. As Master Teachers, they had only considered the interests of Master Teachers themselves, not the broader situation... It was only due to the acting pavilion master's meticulous foresight that a major disaster was averted. Otherwise, even if the Master Teacher Pavilion had the power to eliminate anyone who disobeyed, acting unjustly would undoubtedly lead to a significant loss of public support, and the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters itself would face immense criticism.

"Pavilion Master Ren is truly magnanimous; Zhang Xuan is fortunate. However, Zhang Wuhen's message was quite aggressive, Master Zhan is also furious, and You Ruoxin of the Glacier Palace is practically boiling with rage... Reconciliation seems almost impossible!" Elder Qu shook his head. "Once Zhang Xuan is found, even if we don't act, the three major powers will practically devour him alive..."

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, a peculiar energy surged through the air, causing the entire grand hall to shake as if it would collapse at any moment.

"What's happening?" Pavilion Master Ren shot to his feet. Master Wu and the others also quickly turned, looking towards the source of the energy fluctuation.

"Could it be... that Zhang Xuan has made his way to the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters?" Elder Qu's face twitched. He wouldn't be *that* audacious, would he? However, if it wasn't him, how could the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters, which had been covered by immense power and remained undisturbed for tens of thousands of years, suddenly begin to shake?

"It's the Enfeoffment Hall! Let's go see!" Pavilion Master Ren was the first to pinpoint the location. Realizing what was happening, he swiftly moved and shot out, with the other elders following closely behind.

All of them were 9-star Master Teachers, immensely powerful. In the blink of an eye, they arrived before the Enfeoffment Hall, pushed the door open, and entered.

Clatter!

The moment they stepped inside, they saw the countless ancestral tablets, which had been reverently placed there, shaking violently as if struck by an immense force. The power that caused the entire Master Teacher Pavilion to tremble originated from this very place.

"The ancient sages are trembling! What's going on?" Elder Qu's lips quivered, and he almost fainted from fright. Master Wu and the others also quickly looked around, searching for any signs of an enemy attack.

"It's not an enemy attack, it's..." Pavilion Master Ren's eyes widened, and his body trembled uncontrollably with excitement.

"It's not an enemy attack, yet it can make countless ancestors tremble... could it be?" Hearing the acting pavilion master's words, Master Wu was the first to react, his body stiffening in disbelief.

Rumble!

Before he could finish, the ancestral tablets in the hall could no longer withstand the force. They simultaneously fell to the ground, as if bowing respectfully before an extraordinary individual, showing no sign of movement.

"This is the welcome of all sages..." Elder Qu also realized what was happening, his eyebrows involuntarily twitching, and the corners of his mouth uncontrollably quivering.

Those honored with tablets in the Master Teacher Pavilion's Enfeoffment Hall were all individuals of immense merit and extraordinary power. Frankly, even a 9-star Master Teacher of Elder Qu's caliber would not be qualified to have a tablet here after their death. This alone demonstrated the hall's supreme significance. For such formidable individuals to collectively offer respectful welcome, there could only be one reason...

Crack!

Before their trembling could subside, the statue of Master Kong in the very center suddenly floated up, respectfully clasped its hands, and smiled. Then, a crack slowly appeared from its base, steadily widening.

Crumble!

In the blink of an eye, it collapsed.

"All sages welcome, Master Kong bows... This is a Heaven-recognized Master Teacher!" All the elders now understood. Their faces were pale, whether from excitement or shock, they couldn't tell. As super experts who had reached the 9-star level, they comprehended the phenomena and implications of a Heaven-recognized Master Teacher's emergence. Even without explanation, they knew what all of this signified. They had just declared that no Heaven-recognized Master Teacher existed, and in the blink of an eye, one had appeared. The ups and downs of life couldn't get more dramatic than this.

With the collapse of Master Kong's statue, the Enfeoffment Hall could no longer bear the strain and came crashing down. The many elders stood rooted to the spot, allowing the falling debris to hit their heads without resisting. Their cultivation was profound; the stones from the collapsing building felt no different from cotton falling on them, causing no harm.

With shining eyes, Pavilion Master Ren clenched his fists in excitement. "Humanity is saved! The Master Teacher Pavilion will once again stand at the apex of the world..." With a loud laugh, Pavilion Master Ren wept tears of joy. As acting pavilion master, despite lacking sufficient virtue and prestige, he had led the world. The pressure he had endured over the years was immense. Now, with the appearance of a Heaven-recognized Master Teacher, he could finally lay down his heavy burden!

Turning abruptly, Pavilion Master Ren shouted, "Pass on my order! Quickly find the source of this power, locate this Heaven-recognized Master Teacher, bring them back immediately, and have them succeed me as pavilion master!"

"Yes!" The numerous 9-star Master Teachers simultaneously clasped their fists, accepting the command.
