"You?" Hearing Zhang Xuan's interjection, everyone paused for a moment .
All of them looked at him as if they were looking at a fool .
"Cough cough!" Unable to stand the awkward silence that drifted in the air, Wu shi coughed loudly before continuing on, "Principal Zhang, I know that you possess superior talent, and you have a unique interpretation to cultivation . However . . . Celestial Saint is not something which anyone can just become . In fact, it could be said that it is impossible for anyone to succeed!"
"Indeed . I have specially looked into the process how Kong shi ascended to Sainthood, traveling to the Saint Ascension Platform myself and flipping through many records . Based on my deduction, the first requirement to becoming a Celestial Saint is to be a Celestial Master Teacher . Only when the heavens recognize your occupation will you be qualified to become a Celestial Saint . Other than that, you must also practice a peerless cultivation technique which grants you incomparably condensed zhenqi . That is the basic requirement for you to knock on the doors of the world and rid yourself of all impurities, thus stepping on the path to unparalleled greatness!"
Hearing Zhang Xuan speaking such words, Zhang Yinqiu couldn't help but offer a word of advice as well . "The fact that you are able to decipher the secret hidden amidst Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's palm art shows that you have an exceptional understanding of battle techniques . Also, considering how you were able to come so far through the ancient domain despite only being a Nascent Saint, you must possess an extraordinary cultivation technique as well . However, just that in itself wouldn't suffice for you to become a Celestial Saint!"
"Ascending to Sainthood is no child's play . Throughout history, how many geniuses do you think have emerged amongst the Sage Clans and the Combat Master Hall? Yet, for several dozen millenniums, there was not a person who was said to have succeeded in becoming a Celestial Saint . This goes to show how difficult it is . Principal Zhang, you can give it a try, but you really shouldn't put too much hope into it…" Guild Leader Han said with a bitter smile .
There was not a person who thought well of Zhang Xuan .
"This . . . Alright then!" Zhang Xuan was considering on whether he should reveal his identity, but eventually, he chose to shake his head and remain silent .
In truth, while he was a Celestial Master Teacher and he had cultivated the Saint Ascension Decipher, he was still unsure whether he would truly be able to become a Celestial Saint either . He didn't want to give them false hope only to have it shattered eventually .
Besides, he was a humble person at heart, and boasting about his own achievements wasn't something that a person like him would do anyway .
"Un . It's good that you have managed to think it through . Becoming a Celestial Saint is no easy task . Of course, it'll be best if one of us succeeds in doing so, but otherwise, there's no need to get too disappointed either…" Vice Principal Ji Yan nodded . He was just about to continue speaking when the layer of light atop the round platform abruptly wavered, and gradually, it began dimming .
Upon seeing this sight, Vice Principal Ji Yan's face immediately turned grave . "Time's up, everyone . We have to leave quickly . Principal Zhang Yinqiu, we will visit you again tomorrow…"
After saying those words, Vice Principal Ji Yan quickly led the group down .
Seeing how anxious Vice Principal Ji Yan was, the crowd quickly followed behind him . Not too long later, they finally returned to the narrow room they were in previously, and only then did Vice Principal Ji Yan heave a sigh of relief .
"What's going on? Why do we have to rush back so anxiously?" Wu shi couldn't help but ask .
"Didn't I say earlier that we only have an incense's time?" Vice Principal Ji Yan asked .
"Un . " The crowd nodded .
The other party did say such words before .
"For nearly a year now, the Saint Ascension Platform has been releasing a brilliant glow every single day . During the period of time which the Saint Ascension Hall is permeated by the light, the Skyleaf King would have no choice but to remain in his hiding spot, not daring to move in the least . Otherwise, he would risk being burned by the sacred light and suffer severe damage to his Primordial Spirit . We have been making use for this period of time to explore the Saint Ascension Hall . . . However, the light will only remain for roughly an incense's time, and once it retreats, the Skyleaf King will rush out and slaughter any of us who is still loitering vulnerably in the area!" Vice Principal Ji Yan explained .
Everyone came to a realization .
This explained why Vice Principal Ji Yan was so anxious when he saw that the sacred light as about to die out . If the Skyleaf King were to assault them before they made their way back to the room, they would have been in grave danger .
"I was wondering why the rest of you are able to make such a great advancement in your cultivation realm over the past two years whereas the Skyleaf King still remains in Leaving Aperture realm primary stage . . . It seems like the sacred light that you have spoken of does play a huge role in this matter!" Wu shi remarked in realization .
"You're right . Master teachers are able to raise their cultivation by absorbing the sacred light, but Otherworldly Demons aren't able to do the same . As such, the Skyleaf King hasn't been able to grow as quickly as the rest of us . However, he has conquered the entire Saint Ascension Hall for himself . . . Back then, probably in order to ensure that there would be at least one amongst the later generation who would be able to become a Celestial Saint as well, Kong shi had left behind quite a fortune behind, but it is currently being dominated by the Skyleaf King! Over the past two years, even though he hadn't achieved a breakthrough yet, his Primordial Spirit has been getting more and more powerful . With our current strength, we won't be able to deal with him . " Vice Principal Ji Yan shook his head .
"You said that the Saint Ascension Platform only began releasing a brilliant glow every single day within the past year? Does that not happen in the past?" Zhang Xuan's focus was a little different from the others . He was more interested in the Saint Ascension Platform .
"A year ago, the Saint Ascension Platform was still rather normal . While it would emanate sacred light from time to time back then, the intensity was nothing close to what we saw previously, and its frequency was irregular as well . It's only around the end of the eighth month last year that it suddenly began releasing huge bursts of light, as if heralding the arrival of a certain someone . Well, I don't really know the details myself either…" Ji Yan pondered for a moment before replying with a nod .
Trapped within the Saint Ascension Hall, where the concept of day and night didn't exist, they were gradually losing their grasp over time . Nevertheless, as master teachers, they were still able to fathom a rough guess
"Who could it be waiting for? Kong shi?" Right after saying those words, Guild Leader Han shook his head with a helpless smile .
Kong shi had gone missing several dozen millenniums ago . Even the 72 Sages knew not about his whereabouts, let more the others .
It was inconceivable that he would return all of a sudden after so many years .
"Not even Saints possess a longevity of several dozen millenniums, so I don't think it's possible that the Saint Ascension Platform is waiting for Kong shi . Perhaps, you might have triggered some kind of mechanism within the Saint Ascension Hall after arriving here, thus resulting in the emanation of sacred light every day…" Wu shi remarked .
"That might be the case…" Vice Principals Ji Yan and Tan Qing nodded .
Limited by their strength and eye of discernment, there were many things that were beyond their understanding . Putting everything aside, they had no idea where the sacred light emanating from the Saint Ascension Platform had come from . It was also inconceivable to them why it could keep the Skyleaf King at bay while benefiting the master teachers .
"Alright, let's not talk about this matter anymore . Those are simply too far away from us at the moment, so there's no point discussing it . Vice Principal Tan Qing, I have a Grand Intermittence Pill here . Give it a try, perhaps it could resolve your current condition…" Shaking his head, Wu shi turned to Vice Principal Tan Qing and whipped out a jade bottle .
At this moment, Vice Principal Tan Qing had both of his legs and right arm severed, crippling his movements . Only the legendary grade-7 Grand Intermittence Pill, said to be able to induce the regrowth a severed limb, would have a chance to resolve his condition .
