Chapter 1679: Going to the Famous Master Hall Headquarters

They came aggressively, looking like they wouldn't stop until Zhang Xuan was dead. But the result... they hadn't even fought, and they'd already acknowledged him as their clan head. Do the Luo family members all have a screw loose? Otherwise, why would they do something so foolish?

"I don't know the exact details, and what's more, I heard..."

The elder hesitated, as if unsure about the accuracy of the information.

"What?" Xing Jiansheng frowned.

"I heard... the clan head went to the Jiang family yesterday, and then... the Jiang family held a succession ceremony, establishing him as their clan head!"

"..." Xing Jiansheng.

"..." Meng Jiansheng.

Can anyone tell me what's going on?

The Jiang family and the Luo family, recognizing someone from the Zhang family as their patriarch...

What, do the Jiang family members also have a screw loose? Can foolishness be contagious?

Both were utterly bewildered, feeling they hadn't heard news, but rather something incomprehensible.

In fact, not only were they bewildered, but everyone in the entire Zhang family was stunned. As the news spread, everyone wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

The clan head... is truly amazing!

One person being the head of three clans — this was unprecedented in history.

While the Zhang family was bewildered, the Luo family, upon receiving the news, was utterly dumbfounded.

Luo Xuanqing, who was practicing the Spatial True Understanding, fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes wide and blank, completely dizzy.

Can someone tell me... what the hell is going on? Weren't you going to get revenge? Is... this how you get revenge?

"It's finally resolved..."

Ignoring what others might be thinking, Zhang Xuan returned to his residence and breathed a sigh of relief. The Luo family matter had been a persistent thorn. Unable to resolve it properly, he had to summon his clone, and with their coordinated effort, the scene that Luo Qianzhen and the others witnessed unfolded.

Although this approach was a bit sneaky, as long as it eliminated the Luo family's resentment and made them willingly acknowledge him as their clan head, thereby better uniting the three major powers, it was all worth it.

This outing, lasting a day and a night, though not long, yielded immense benefits. He had cultivated the Soul True Understanding, his Witchcraft Soul had successfully advanced to the Golden Body realm, he had refined the ancient saint's corpse, and acquired a Tome of Heaven's Path... On top of that, he had become the head of two major clans...

The gains were substantial.

"Now that I have time, I'll push my Golden Body realm Witchcraft Soul to Grand Perfection in one go!"

Taking a deep breath, he activated the formations around the courtyard to block any probing auras, then released his Witchcraft Soul again. His Witchcraft Soul had successfully broken through after the Heavenly Flame Tribulation, but it was still some distance from the peak of the Golden Body realm. Now that he had time, it was perfect to cultivate it to completion in one go. Otherwise, the increasing gap between him and his clone would become more depressing. After all, he was the main body. Being suppressed by a clone every day was quite undignified.

He took out the spiritual treasures he had prepared, and his Witchcraft Soul continuously devoured them.

Two hours later.

His entire Witchcraft Soul glowed with dazzling golden light, as if forged from pure gold, shining brilliantly.

"Finally, Grand Perfection..."

His eyes gleamed. After two hours of intense cultivation, he finally pushed his Witchcraft Soul to Grand Perfection in the Golden Body realm.

"With my Witchcraft Soul at Golden Body Grand Perfection, combined with the power of my True Qi, I should be able to easily defeat even experts at the peak of the Spontaneous Combustion realm! And with the Dragonbone Divine Spear, I could even fight Grand Perfection experts, or even those in the early stage of the Undying realm..."

Feeling the surging power emanating from within him, Zhang Xuan smiled faintly.

Although his Heaven's Path Witchcraft Soul was only at Golden Body Grand Perfection, after undergoing the Conferred Saint Tribulation, lightning tempering, and the Supreme Heavenly Flame Tribulation, its combat power was comparable to that of experts at the peak of the Imperishable realm! With the addition of the Dragonbone Divine Spear, even Xing Jiansheng fighting him alone might not be able to win.

"With this level of strength, I finally have the ability to protect myself!"

Although the Tome of Heaven's Path was powerful, it was like a nuclear bomb—a single burst, then it was gone. The ancient saint's corpse was also very strong, but... it involved the Witchcraft Soul and the Spirit Awakener tribe, so he dared not use it unless absolutely necessary. To be truly safe, one must rely on their own strength. This was something nothing else could change.

"Zhang Xuan!"

Just as he retracted his Witchcraft Soul into his physical body, he heard a voice from outside. Dispelling the seals, Zhang Xuan walked out of the room and saw Luo Ruoxi standing in the main hall. She was startled to see him emerge.

"You've broken through?"

After not seeing him for over a day, Zhang Xuan's aura had become much more profound, making it impossible to discern its depth at a glance, a clear difference from yesterday.

"Something like that!"

Zhang Xuan nodded. The breakthrough was in his Witchcraft Soul, not his True Qi, which was difficult to explain in detail, so he didn't elaborate further.

"It's good that you've broken through. I was just thinking of going to the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters... I can take you to find the high-grade breakthrough cultivation technique left by Master Kong," Luo Ruoxi said, looking at him.

"To the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters?"

Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

"Yes, the high-grade cultivation technique for breaking through to Great Saint is hidden there. I see your power is immense and on the verge of becoming uncontrollable, so it's time for you to advance. This way, you'll be able to handle any unexpected situations... and I can... feel more at ease!"

Luo Ruoxi paused before continuing.

"Yes, it's about time I broke through!"

Zhang Xuan nodded. The congenital fetal poison was too troublesome; he had to break through as soon as possible and use the Heavenly Flame to burn it clean. Otherwise, if it acted up on an unhappy day, his whole being would be ruined.

Of course, more importantly, once he found Master Kong's breakthrough method and successfully advanced to Great Saint, his combat power would undoubtedly surge again. At that point, combined with his Golden Body realm Witchcraft Soul, he could probably become invincible below the Ancient Saint realm, even without Master Kong's blood! If that were the case, he could easily capture the pale young man when they met again and uncover the whereabouts of Zhao Ya and the others.

As for why the Sons of the Hundred Schools wanted to capture Zhao Ya and the others, and why they were associated with the Spirit Awakener tribe, he didn't understand. But... he was certain that, for now, Zhao Ya and the others were not in mortal danger. Otherwise, the Glacier Palace, Poison Hall, and Yuan clan would have sent messages long ago. As the controllers of their respective powers, they all kept soul lamps, and as long as a soul lamp remained lit, the person was not in grave danger.

"Then let's set off..."

Luo Ruoxi smiled.

"Alright!" Zhang Xuan didn't hesitate, nodded, gave instructions to Sun Qiang, then flew straight out, with Luo Ruoxi following close behind.

"By the way, where's Wuchen?"

As they left the Zhang clan's territory, Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered the young boy and couldn't help but ask. He had come with them from the Zhang clan, so why was he not around now?

"He had something to attend to and left early. This trip to the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters is for searching for something, not for combat, so it doesn't matter if he's here or not!"

Luo Ruoxi smiled faintly.

"True!" Zhang Xuan nodded, asked no more questions, and recalled the map he had seen at the Jiang clan to locate the direction of the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters. With a flick of his wrist, the Dragonbone Divine Spear flew out.

"Break!"

He pointed into the air, and a passage appeared before them. He entered first. Luo Ruoxi followed close behind.

The next moment, they saw a massive, palace-like complex of buildings appear before them.

The Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters — they had arrived!
