Chapter 1928: Where Did the Teacher Go

The Hundred Schools of Thought had always looked to Master Kong as their leader. When Kong Shiyao broke through to Ancient Sage, there was, frankly, nothing to hand over, and she naturally became their highest-ranking leader.

As a result, Zhang Xuan's nine direct disciples took complete control of the Human Race, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and the Hundred Schools of Thought.

"Teacher, how should we handle the sealed entrance to the Kunxu Realm?" Knowing the responsibility on her shoulders, Kong Shiyao did not decline and looked at her teacher. Her teacher had promised that once she became his disciple, he would have a solution.

"I'll try!" Zhang Xuan returned to the seal. With a thought, the Book of Heaven's Path flew out from between his eyebrows. It merged with the crack in the barrier, and in the blink of an eye, formed a tall, ancient-looking portal. As soon as it appeared, the boiling thunder in the sky immediately dissipated as if it had seen a divine being, vanishing completely as if it had never been there.

"It's solved?" Everyone was stunned. They had been wondering where to find a Void Shattering expert, but it was unexpectedly simple—a single book had accomplished it! If they had known it was this easy, why hadn't he taken it out sooner?

"My guess was correct..." Zhang Xuan sighed in relief, ignoring the others' thoughts. Previously, he couldn't discern flaws at the Ancient Sage level, meaning he couldn't see through things that surpassed the Heaven's Path of the Master Teacher Continent. Later, when Luo Ruoxi left and integrated the Spring and Autumn Grand Canon, this issue was resolved. At the time, he suspected whether the Heaven's Path in the Library had already surpassed that of the Master Teacher Continent. The recent test had proven this to be true. Just as "deities" surpass the Heaven's Path and do not incur lightning tribulations, the Library, having surpassed the Master Teacher Continent's Heaven's Path, could create the Book of Heaven's Path to seal the Kunxu Realm, preventing the latter from daring to pass judgment. With the Book of Heaven's Path serving as a portal, and the suppressed Heaven's Path of the Master Teacher Continent not daring to approach, whether the Kunxu Realm was hidden or not no longer mattered. Zhang Xuan entered again and instructed Kong Shiyao, "I want to visit the Kong Clan!"

Without refusal, Kong Shiyao led the way. The Kong Clan was located near the Grand Confucian Hall. Entering it, Zhang Xuan walked slowly. The Kong Clan upheld Master Kong's legacy, having cultivated his philosophy and cultivation techniques to their fullest extent. The cultural atmosphere was incredibly rich. As he wandered through it, step by step, Zhang Xuan felt as if he were following in Master Kong's footsteps, comprehending his spirit and thoughts.

After visiting the Kong Clan, Zhang Xuan left the Kunxu Realm. This time, he did not bring his disciples but traveled alone. Just as Master Kong had journeyed through various states and gained enlightenment, leading to the creation of such a heaven-defying artifact as the Spring and Autumn Grand Canon, Zhang Xuan also wanted to personally witness the prosperity of the Master Teacher Continent and find something of his own.

He stayed in each city for a period. With the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe problem resolved, the continent was at peace. The Master Teacher Pavilion had also been reformed according to Master Yang's ideas, no longer divided by factions, but solely dedicated to teaching the world. Under his instruction, Zhang Xuan's many disciples taught throughout the land. Many students from Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy also spread out to various places to give lectures. All who had attended Zhang Xuan's courses became even more outstanding and became proponents of "Zhang Xue" (Zhang's teachings). For a time, the fame of this world's number one Master Teacher grew, even surpassing Master Kong.

Everyone hoped he would teach again, but this revered Master Zhang seemed to have vanished from the world, completely losing all trace.

Not only was the Master Teacher Pavilion unable to find him, but even his direct disciples did not know where their esteemed teacher had gone. Messages went unanswered; it was as if he had completely disappeared from this world.

"Where did Teacher go?" From the southernmost peak of the Master Teacher Continent, she flew back, covered in dust, having found no trace. Zhao Ya returned from the northernmost part of the continent, also looking dejected and having found nothing.

The nine direct disciples had spread across the continent, searching for over four months, covering almost every place, but still found nothing.

"Teacher not contacting us likely means he's forging his own path, to travel even further. We shouldn't worry too much!" Wang Ying comforted.

"Wang Ying is right," Lu Chong said. "Our urgent task is not to search, but to diligently follow Teacher's instructions and impart his knowledge to every corner of the world! And we must not neglect our cultivation; we should strive to break through to the Blood Reincarnation pinnacle as soon as possible to share his burdens!"

"Indeed!" Everyone nodded simultaneously, saying no more. No one on the Master Teacher Continent could harm their teacher. Since that was the case, there was nothing to worry about. It was better to diligently complete the tasks he had assigned and strive to improve their cultivation, so they wouldn't become a hindrance if their teacher had to fight against so-called deities again.

While everyone was searching for Master Zhang's whereabouts, Zhang Xuan was slowly walking through a remote small town on the Master Teacher Continent.

It had been over half a year since he left the Hundred Schools of Thought, and exactly two years since he arrived in this world. For over six months, he had traveled, witnessing countless joys and sorrows—some happy, some pained, some joyful, some lost... Observing their emotions and experiences, Zhang Xuan felt as if he were living countless different lives.

He had been in this small town for three days and it was time to leave. As he walked along the street, about to exit, he heard the entire street erupt in commotion, and countless excited people quickly rushed in one direction.

"Hurry, a Master Teacher is giving a lecture!" "They say this lecture will impart Master Zhang's knowledge! We must take good notes! We need to make a name for ourselves and get to eat Green Sprout Wheat!" "That's something the Hundred Schools of Thought cultivate; it can't be grown on the Master Teacher Continent, so it's incredibly precious. Last time, the blacksmith from the next village ate some and immediately had an epiphany, breaking through to the Grandmaster realm!" "Yes, he's truly lucky. But breaking through to Grandmaster is definitely worth it..." The crowd chattered excitedly.

"A lecture?" Zhang Xuan shook his head, having no interest in attending. In the past six months, he had passed through countless towns and seen many similar lectures. Quite a few Master Teachers were using his name to impart knowledge; some were correct, while others were full of flaws, making him feel they were misleading their students. However, he did not speak out to stop them, nor did he reveal his identity. Since he was out to gain experience, he needed to shed the superficiality in his heart and his past glories, and peacefully experience the myriad aspects of life, the warmth and coldness of human nature.

"Let's go!" He stopped lingering, intending to leave the small town and move on to the next city, when a glance made him stop suddenly. "Is that her?" A pretty figure appeared in his sight. She was as beautiful, charming, and graceful as she had been two years ago, her figure still captivating. However, now she was no longer an ordinary teacher or an elite teacher, but a true Master Teacher, and she had even reached the Three-star level.

"Greetings everyone, my name is Shen Biru, and I am a Three-star Master Teacher..." Standing on the high platform, the girl looked around and smiled faintly, revealing a captivating smile.
