Chapter 2171: Divine Realm Famous Teachers Hall

In a daze, I vaguely saw myself above a white cloud, where there was nothing but emptiness.

The cloud drifted with the wind, its destination unknown.

A figure sat upright on the cloud, looking down at a vast land of unknown size below, where countless deities and buildings stood, as if guarding, and also as if waiting.

It was motionless, as if it had ceased to breathe.

"Senior..."

Filled with questions, Zhang Xuan approached.

With his cultivation level, he almost never dreamed. There must be a reason for him to suddenly find himself here!

The figure did not speak or open its eyes, but a voice echoed in his mind, "You've forged your own path; I wasn't wrong about you. I hope you can go further and further... Cultivate as quickly as you can! I cannot hold on for much longer... Also, form more Tomes of Heaven's Path; they will bring unexpected benefits for you now..."

Before the voice finished, Zhang Xuan's body tensed, and he hastily sat up. Opening his eyes again, he found himself still in his room; everything he had seen before seemed to be an illusion.

"What's going on?"

What had just happened felt too real, leaving him unable to distinguish between reality and illusion!

Although his cultivation was not high, with the Heaven's Path Library guarding him, his willpower and soul were extremely powerful. Ordinary illusions, or even inner demons, could not affect him in the slightest.

Yet at this moment, he felt confused. Who exactly was that figure?

And why did it know about the Tomes of Heaven's Path?

"Could it be Kong Shi?"

Only Luo Ruoxi and Kong Shi knew that he possessed the Tomes of Heaven's Path and the Heaven's Path Library. Although he couldn't clearly see the figure's face or remember its exact build, it was definitely male.

If that was the case, it could only be the Master Teacher of Myriad Worlds!

"Cannot hold on for much longer..." That must be related to the contest between him and the Emperor of Zizai Heaven!

He had heard upon arriving in the God Realm that Emperor Tianxun and the Emperor of Zizai Heaven were about to have a contest. Both were peak experts in the God Realm, and the outcome was truly unknown.

"Regardless of whether it is or not, my current strength is too weak; I'm completely unable to get involved..."

At the High-tier God realm, he might not even be able to contend with an average Mid-tier Heavenly God. While he seemed not weak, against peak experts of the God Realm like Kong Shi and the Emperors, he was still far too lacking.

Even if he found them, he certainly wouldn't be able to help, and might even cause trouble.

It would be better to first focus on improving his cultivation.

With a thought, he looked towards the Library.

This item had vibrated before, causing him to faint; he wanted to see if anything had changed.

After examining it for a while, he withdrew.

There was no change at all; it was exactly the same as before, as if the previous incident had caused no impact.

It seemed he needed to do as the figure suggested and quickly form more Tomes of Heaven's Path.

Nothing under Heaven's Path could stop this item. After entering the God Realm, the Library had merged with the God Realm's Heaven's Path, so its power must have increased again. Unless it was an Emperor, even Conferred God Kings would likely be unable to withstand it!

If he could truly create a pile of them, the strongest experts in the God Realm, except for the Emperors, could all be easily defeated by him alone.

He carefully put the pendant away again. After this experience, it was better not to research it again for a while.

Pushing open the door and stepping out of the courtyard, he then realized that what seemed like a brief unconsciousness had actually been over two hours. Sun Qiang had already finished gathering information and returned to the courtyard.

"Young Master!"

Approaching him, Sun Qiang handed over a jade tablet.

Zhang Xuan took it and swept his consciousness over it.

It contained information about the layout and power divisions of the entire Youxun Imperial City.

The most powerful figure in the Imperial City was naturally the Qiankun Demonic Monarch, one of the Nine Heavens and Nine Emperors.

The Demonic Monarch usually stayed out of worldly affairs, residing permanently in the Qianyuan Hall of the Qiankun Divine Palace, so almost no one had ever seen his true form.

The remaining strongest figures were the three Conferred God Kings: Old Ancestor Qi Meng from Qi Ling'er's family, Old Ancestor Shangguan Wufeng from the Shangguan family, and Old Ancestor Nangong Ping from the Nangong family!

Nangong Ping had been defeated by Emperor Tianxun forty years ago, perishing and losing his cultivation. However, his descendants had nurtured him, and with the aid of the Netherworld Pool, he had already gained sentience; his revival was only a matter of time. Furthermore, there were two more God King-level experts in his clan.

Their status remained strong, and no one could shake it.

"Information about Young Master Lu Chong is difficult to obtain for now, as it involves an Emperor," Sun Qiang continued. "However, I already know where the Emperor resides. It's in the Youxun Palace, which floats high above the Imperial City! If the other party truly intends to take the young master to cultivate, they will most likely go there!"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Many of his students had used simplified Heaven's Path cultivation techniques from the beginning of their training, establishing an excellent foundation and hardly taking any wrong turns. Furthermore, their understanding of martial arts was extremely high. It was understandable that an Emperor-level expert would take an interest in them.

A dignified Emperor, leaving a message on the divine mountain, would likely not lower his status by deliberately lying.

Therefore, for now, there was no danger. However, as a teacher, he still wanted to know his student's whereabouts and how he was doing. If he truly wasn't happy, at worst, he would find a way to rescue him.

"Has Qi Ling'er returned?"

"She hasn't returned yet," Sun Qiang replied. "However, over thirty Beauty Pills have been sold. She sent a message that the money has been deposited into your card. As for information about Ling God, she hasn't found anything yet..."

Zhang Xuan flipped his wrist, took out his card, and swept his consciousness over it. Sure enough, he saw that the numbers on it had changed. His previous repeated uses had almost depleted his savings, but now there were over 40,000 additional points.

It seemed each pill was still priced at 1,500 God Coins.

Back in a small place like Night冥 City, they were already in short supply. In a large place like Youxun Imperial City, selling them would certainly be exceptionally easy.

It was just a matter of how to open the market initially!

Of course, he didn't need to worry about such matters; he just needed to find a way to add Heaven's Path Qi to the Divine Origin Pills.

Knowing that Qi Ling'er hadn't yet found information on Luo Ruoxi, Zhang Xuan saw no need to go out and returned to his room to consolidate his cultivation. After a night, the lingering effects of the Library's disturbance had fully recovered, and although his cultivation had not broken through, his combat power had increased significantly.

"Too bad I still haven't deduced the cultivation technique for the Heavenly God realm..."

He hadn't been idle these past few days. While cultivating, he continuously tried to deduce cultivation techniques. Although he knew the direction, it was clearly not easy to create a completely different set of techniques.

Although only a thread away from a breakthrough, he just couldn't succeed.

"I still need to find books to read..." he thought. "If I could collect Heaven's Path level Heavenly God cultivation techniques, perhaps I could learn by analogy and succeed in one go..."

With normal deduction, without a month or so, it would be almost impossible to perfect the technique for breaking through to the Heavenly God realm. Unless... he could collect Heaven's Path techniques and use them to spark inspiration.

"Does this Youxun Imperial City have... a Master Teacher Pavilion?"

Stepping out of his room, he found Sun Qiang.

The Master Teacher Pavilion was selfless, and thus perfect for collecting cultivation techniques. Furthermore, its students respected their teachers and valued the Dao. If he taught cultivation techniques based on aptitude and took them as students, it would be easier to generate Tomes of Heaven's Path.

"Previously, it wasn't allowed to exist in the Imperial City," Sun Qiang explained. "However, after Emperor Tianxun fought the Qiankun Demonic Monarch, it can now openly teach. It's just that the students they recruit still aren't as talented as regular students in Youxun Heaven."

"However, the Master Teachers there are very capable," Sun Qiang continued. "Even if the students' talent isn't strong, the comprehensive abilities of the students they teach are no weaker than those from ordinary academies. This has led many people to send their untalented children there!"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

As a Master Teacher himself, he naturally knew the capabilities of Master Teachers. Targeted guidance could help people progress faster and better. Even if a student's talent was average, as long as they put in effort, their chances of success would be significant.

"Take me to see it!"

Confirming the existence of a Master Teacher Pavilion, Zhang Xuan didn't hesitate. He had Sun Qiang lead the way and went there.

Although Youxun Heaven did not prohibit Master Teachers, the Master Teacher Pavilion before them still could not become the spiritual pillar or even the strongest backing of a city or a nation, unlike on the Master Teacher Continent. It was just an ordinary profession, far inferior even to artifact forging or pill alchemy.

Therefore, its occupied area was not large.

Looking at the ordinary sign and simple building before him, Zhang Xuan shook his head.

The Nine Heavens and Nine Emperors were deeply entrenched. Even though Kong Shi had defeated the Qiankun Demonic Monarch, and the effectiveness of the Master Teacher Pavilion's teachings was evident, in a place like Youxun Imperial City, it was still not considered orthodox and was not understood by ordinary people.

"Are you both here for Teacher Fan Zhe's class?"

As soon as they entered the room, a young man greeted them with a wide smile.

"Teacher Fan Zhe?" Zhang Xuan asked, puzzled.

"He's a Mid-tier Heavenly God realm Master Teacher," the young man explained. "He's our Master Teacher Pavilion's current ace teacher, and his lectures are excellent. Because some parents raised questions, he's holding a special open lecture today for parents, which can be observed. If you want to go, I have two tickets here!"

"What will this class cover?" Zhang Xuan asked.

A Mid-tier Heavenly God was powerful, but if the lecture wasn't suitable for him, there was no need to go.

"It explains how to break through to the Heavenly God realm," the young man replied, "as well as the advantages, disadvantages, and combat abilities of the Heavenly God realm!"

"Then... give me two tickets!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

He was currently struggling to create a cultivation technique for the Heavenly God realm; the lecture might offer some inspiration!

"Student parents are free," the young man stated. "Otherwise, it's ten God Coins!"

Handing over two ticket-like items, the young man held out his hand.

Knowing that a lecture by a Mid-tier Heavenly God realm expert was worth the price, Zhang Xuan didn't say much. He motioned for Sun Qiang to pay, took the tickets, and walked towards the lecture hall.

As he walked, he looked around.

This Master Teacher Pavilion was far inferior to those on the Master Teacher Continent. Not only was it simple, but most importantly, it lacked vitality. The students he saw were indeed as Sun Qiang had described: extremely untalented, and many were disabled.

Under the rule of the Nine Heavens and Nine Emperors, wanting to become a new Emperor and expand territory was indeed not easy.

Teacher Fan Zhe's lecture hall was in a corner of the Master Teacher Pavilion. They soon arrived, pushed the door open, and entered.

There were students and parents, numbering over fifty. A spirited old man stood on the stage. His aura was pure, and from a distance, he exuded a strong sense of pressure!

Zhang Xuan and Sun Qiang exchanged a glance and sat down according to the positions marked on their tickets.

"The lecture begins!"

After waiting for over ten minutes, Teacher Fan Zhe calculated the time and immediately spoke.
