Chapter 2100: Zhao Ya and Others Come to Heaven

Zhang Xuan nodded. What the other person said was right.

The spatial passage connecting the Master Teacher Continent and the Firmament had previously been sealed by Kong Shi, who used the corpses of his students to form a grand formation, making it normally impassable. However, after the Spring and Autumn Codex appeared, time and space became unstable, creating a loophole in the formation. This allowed him to seize the opportunity, enter the Firmament, and arrive in this world. As the other person said, if they found the entrance, they could indeed return to the Master Teacher Continent. The spatial storm that even a Grand Sage Fourth Realm expert couldn't withstand was no longer an issue for him now.

"This entrance might not be so easy to find!" Zhang Xuan shook his head. He had previously asked Kong Shi about it; it was guarded by his people and surely hidden within a special space. The Abandoned Continent was so vast, making it incredibly difficult to find.

"It's not easy to find its location in the Firmament, but... Young Master should know its location in the Master Teacher Continent, right?" Wu Chen smiled.

"Of course!" Zhang Xuan nodded. It was within the Kunxu Mountain Range, where the Hundred Schools of Philosophers resided.

Wu Chen said, "Since that's the case, we can find a way to communicate with the current Emperor Yong. As long as he performs a sacrifice at that location, people here will be able to feel the summoning power, find the entrance, and return!"

"That's a good idea!" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up. As expected of Emperor Chen Yong, one of the most brilliant talents of the Spirit Demon Race; this was indeed the best approach.

"As for how to communicate with Emperor Yong in the lower realm, it's not difficult. The Starchaser Palace should have special channels!" Zhang Xuan nodded and called Grand Elder Jiang Yao and Grand Elder Zhao Yue over.

"We have a method to send messages to the lower realm, no altar is needed, but we can only send messages, nothing else can be done..." Grand Elder Zhao Yue said after understanding the Sect Master's intention.

"This is the message I want to convey. Find a way to transmit it to the current Emperor Yong, telling him to perform the sacrifice one month from now!" With a tap of his finger, a thought was transmitted.

Grand Elder Zhao Yue agreed, "I'll go and do it right away!" The Starchaser Palace and the Spirit Demon Race on the Master Teacher Continent frequently exchanged messages. It was precisely because of this that they could perform synchronized sacrifices, allowing Luo Ruoxi to successfully travel through.

"Let's go!" Having given his instructions, Zhang Xuan called out to Wu Chen.

"Where to?" Wu Chen was surprised.

Zhang Xuan said, "When I appeared, I was within the territory of the Soaring Cloud Sword Pavilion. I assume the passage's location isn't far. Once Emperor Yong performs the sacrifice, we can rush back quickly!" Although he wasn't certain of the passage's exact location, he had appeared in Xuanjiang City, which was within the Soaring Cloud Sword Pavilion's territory, after arriving in the Firmament. His guess was correct; the passage shouldn't be far. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been rescued by Dan Xiaotian.

He took the Flood Dragon and the Nine-Headed Fiery Phoenix with him, leaving the other immortal beasts at Starchaser Palace. Should the fake Kong Shi arrive, these individuals, supported by the sect's formation, would be able to resist. With everything arranged, Zhang Xuan and Wu Chen mounted the two beasts—the Flood Dragon and the Nine-Headed Fiery Phoenix—and swiftly flew towards the Soaring Cloud Sword Pavilion's territory. The Flood Dragon and the Nine-Headed Fiery Phoenix had both reached the False God level and were naturally adept at speed. At full power, they were much faster than flying on his own.

It took them only three days to reach the Soaring Cloud Sword Pavilion's territory. Previously, Zhang Xuan had taken nearly twenty days to travel from here to Starchaser Palace. Now, completing the journey in just three days, the terrifying speed of False God-level immortal beasts was undeniable.

"This is Xuanjiang City..." After putting the Flood Dragon and other beasts back into the beast pet pouch, Zhang Xuan and Wu Chen concealed their cultivation and landed on the wide streets of Xuanjiang City. There weren't many changes compared to a month ago; everything was as before. The Soaring Cloud Sword Pavilion had appointed a new city lord, and Xue Qin and others had received their deserved punishment.

"Have you heard? Dan Xiaotian's friend, the one who entered the sect with him, is supposedly named Zhang Xuan!"

"Are you saying... his friend became the Sect Master of the four great sects: the Soaring Cloud Sword Pavilion, Starchaser Palace, Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, and Seven Star Tower?"

"Yes, my relative, a menial disciple at the Soaring Cloud Sword Pavilion, told me personally yesterday at the Spirit Ascension Hall... that person is their Sect Master!"

"He's only twenty-something and became the Sect Master of four sects? How can Dan Xiaotian be so lucky?"

"Exactly... I heard Dan Xiaotian has already taken him as his master! He just happened to save someone, and that person became the Sect Master of four sects. With luck like that, I want to go out and save people too!"

"Speaking of saving people, my neighbor, Steward Zhang, actually saved a few, all under twenty years old. Four girls, exceptionally beautiful, and five young men, all remarkably heroic... They were also unconscious when he saved them!"

"Someone actually unconscious? Are their cultivation levels high?"

"I don't know about that. I heard their injuries were very severe, probably with no cultivation... It's been several days already, so I don't know the specifics!"

"Although I know these people can't have the talent and ability of Sect Master Zhang Xuan, it's at least an opportunity. It seems I should also go out and explore; I can't stay home all the time!"

"Yes, being a lazy homebody has no future!"

Discussions could be heard all around. Zhang Xuan faintly smiled. He had only become the Sect Master of the four sects less than ten days ago, and the news had already spread throughout the entire continent, even reaching such remote places.

"Young Master, where do we search?" Ignoring the discussions, Wu Chen asked. This person before him seemed to become the center of everyone's conversation wherever he went. This was true in the Master Teacher Continent, and it was no different in the Firmament.

"Don't rush. I had Grand Elder Zhao Yue send the message for the sacrifice to happen a month from now. The timing should be just right. Let's first find a quiet place, set up a formation, and try to sense the altar. Perhaps then we'll find it!" Zhang Xuan said. There was a ten-fold time difference between the Master Teacher Continent and the Firmament. Requesting them to perform the sacrifice a month later meant it would occur in roughly three days here, which was perfect timing.

"Let's go to that mountain over there!" Wu Chen looked around and pointed to one side.

Zhang Xuan nodded. Xuanjiang City had a river flowing through it and mountains standing tall.

Leaving the city and arriving at the top of the mountain, Zhang Xuan waved his hand, and countless formation flags flew out, landing on the ground. He had specifically designed this sensing formation on his way here. Similar to a signal receiving tower from his previous life, it could receive the power generated by the sacrifice and confirm the direction, making the search far easier than blindly looking. After setting up the formation, he took out a spear, stuck it in the center, and tied a red string to it. With a stomp of his foot, the formation activated. The red string hung limply, motionless.

"Just wait, the sacrifice probably hasn't started yet..." Zhang Xuan said after glancing at it. The sacrifice couldn't last too long. Even if it lasted three days on the Master Teacher Continent, it would be less than four hours in the Firmament. Only by timing it perfectly could they precisely capture the other party's power and thus find the exact location of the passage.

They sat quietly in place, cultivating. Zhang Xuan continued to refine the cultivation technique for breaking through to the False God realm.

At the same time, inside a spacious mansion in Xuanjiang City, a graceful woman slowly opened her eyes.

"Miss, you're awake..." A servant came forward.

"What is this place? Where am I?" The woman frowned, struggled slightly, and looked around. The courtyard before her was completely unfamiliar, unlike anything she had seen before.

"This is Xuanjiang City. Our master, Steward Zhang, saved all of you..." The servant hurriedly replied.

"You all?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "The others who were with me, have you seen them? Where are they?"

"There were eight people with you, all unconscious. They've all been arranged in this courtyard..." The servant nodded.

"Eight? That's great..." The woman sighed in relief, struggled to stand up, and said, "Take me to them..."

"This..." Seeing her insistence, the servant hesitated but then nodded, leading the way. Just as they stepped out of the room, they saw that the eight severely injured and unconscious people had all woken up and were also in the courtyard.

"Senior Sister..." Seeing the woman, everyone simultaneously clasped their fists.

"Alright, let's sit down first!" The woman nodded, motioned, and everyone sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard.

"It's good that everyone is fine, but the injuries are quite severe. I just checked, and there are traces of spatial tears within your bodies. Complete recovery will be difficult without several years of effort..." the girl said.

"Me too!"

"We're all the same..." The remaining eight people also checked themselves and said simultaneously. The injuries this time were far more severe than expected. Even with abundant spiritual energy here, a complete recovery wouldn't be possible without several years of effort.

"A year ago, Teacher entered the Firmament alone. He probably suffered similar injuries. I wonder if he's recovered now, and where should we look for him..." Upon realizing their physical condition, worry appeared in the woman's eyes after a moment.

"Teacher is a blessed person; he'll definitely be fine!" another woman in the group said.

"Yes, Teacher is truly blessed..." The leading woman also nodded.

"Wait, the flow of time in this world seems different from that in the Master Teacher Continent..." Suddenly, a young man in the group frowned and spoke.

"Different time flow?" Everyone was startled. The person before them possessed time as his bloodline power, giving him a natural sensitivity to the flow of time.

"Hmm, wait a moment, I'll calculate it..." The young man slowly closed his eyes, and after about three minutes, he opened them, his gaze filled with excitement: "It's a ten-fold difference from the Master Teacher Continent! That means one day here is ten days on the Master Teacher Continent!"

If Zhang Xuan were present, he would surely recognize these nine individuals as his nine direct disciples from the Master Teacher Continent: Zhao Ya, Liu Yang, Wang Ying, Zheng Yang, Yuan Tao, Lu Chong, Wei Ruyan, Zhang Jiuxiao, and Kong Shiyao! Zhang Xuan had only been in the Firmament for a little over a month, while more than a year had passed on the Master Teacher Continent. During this long period, everyone had cultivated to the peak of the Grand Sage Fourth Realm but remained unable to break through. With no news from their teacher for so long, they had no choice but to gather in the Kunxu Mountain Range, find Kong Shiyao, and collectively enter the passage to arrive here. The girl referred to as Senior Sister was Zhao Ya, and the one who noticed the time difference between the Firmament and the Master Teacher Continent was Zhang Jiuxiao.

"A ten-fold difference? Are you saying... Teacher has only been here for a little over a month?" Zhao Ya's eyes lit up: "In such a short time, Teacher should be like us, his injuries not healed, and it's even possible he's also in this Xuanjiang City!"
