"He managed to slaughter the other nine of them?"
"Are you sure you aren't messing with us?" Vice Principals Ji Yan and Tan Qing widened their eyes in shock .
Over the past two years, they had pitted their wits, courage, and strength against the Skyleaf King day after day, and they were on the verge of being driven mad from all of that, but they were still unable to faze the latter in the slightest . On the contrary, the number of master teachers on their side was slowly growing fewer and fewer, such that only the both of them were left .
Yet, that fellow, a Nascent Saint cultivator, encountered the remaining nine of the Ten Great Kings and managed to slaughter all of them? Was that for real?
"Not only so," Wu shi continued, "on one occasion, the Skyleaf King was hidden a fragment of his Primordial Spirit among our expedition team, and he ended up nearly being crippled by Principal Zhang . "
"Thus, I feel that as long as he proceeds carefully, it might just work out . In fact… I am wondering that if we place him and the Skyleaf King in the same room, would he just happen be the one to walk out from the room alive?"
"This…"
For a very long time, Vice Principals Ji Yan and Tan Qing found themselves unable to speak a word at all . They glanced at one another for a very long while before they finally found their words once more . "Just what kind of principal did the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy nominate this time around?"
All this while, due to Zhang Xuan's young age, they had thought that it was infeasible for him to become the principal . After all, there were bound to be more experienced and qualified master teacher who could hold the fort much better than him . However, after hearing the latter's accomplishments…
Probably not even Zhang Yinqiu could match up to the latter .
…
While the crowd were still in the midst of a shock in the small room, Zhang Xuan had already arrived at the vast lobby of the Saint Ascension Hall .
There is no doubt that I will be found if I head there in my current form . I should switch to my soul instead .
With a swift movement, Zhang Xuan found a remote corner before drawing his soul out from his glabella . After which, he stored his physical body in the Myriad Anthive Nest before placing the Anthive Nest into his storage ring .
If he were to head there with his physical body, it would be very easy for the Skyleaf King to notice him, and it would be difficult for him to escape as well . He would be in a much safer position in his soul form .
At Leaving Aperture realm, the Skyleaf King's Spiritual Perception was probably strong enough to easily discern everything in his surroundings, but Spiritual Perception wasn't an ability that one could constantly maintain .
As the saying goes, 'even the wary tiger occasionally rests' . As long as Zhang Xuan sneaked in while the other party had his guard down, it would not be too difficult for him to sneak the Grand Intermittence Grass away .
Thus, Zhang Xuan's soul began discreetly heading to where Vice Principal Ji Yan had pointed out earlier . Not too long later, a chamber appeared before his eyes .
Just like the room that Vice Principals Ji Yan and Tan Qing dwelled in, the chamber had all kinds of grade-7 formations constructed around it . If an ordinary man were to step into it, he would find himself losing his sense of direction in an instant . However, Zhang Xuan was a 7-star pinnacle formation master himself . As complex as the formations were, they were not sufficient to keep him at bay .
After maneuvering nimbly around the formations, Zhang Xuan soon arrived at the entrance of the chamber . He secretly took a peek in .
The chamber was extremely spacious, and it was permeated with concentrated spiritual energy . Innumerable treasures were laid out neatly around the room, reminiscent of a massive treasure vault .
Most of them were medicinal herbs, pills, books on how to achieve a breakthrough to Saint realm, and the sort . In comparison, there were very few weapons in the chamber, or perhaps even none at all .
It seemed like Kong shi had really put quite some effort into preparing the room so as to ensure that the later generations would have a Celestial Saint of their own as well .
The Skyleaf King actually isn't around…
Zhang Xuan activated his Eye of Insight and scanned the room, and upon realizing that the Skyleaf King was nowhere to be found, his eyes lit up in excitement .
I should move quickly!
Zhang Xuan was still in the midst of thinking up a countermeasure for how he should enter the room if the Skyleaf King was within . However, since the latter was not around, there was no need for him to restrain himself .
Grabbing his storage ring tightly, he carefully entered the chamber in his soul form .
Medicinal herbs took up the bulk of the treasures within the chamber . All in all, there were at least several hundred types of saint herbs within the room . Despite being stored in the chamber for innumerable years, they had not lost their medicinal properties as a result of ageing . Instead, under the nourishment of the concentrated spiritual energy in the area, they were becoming more and more potent!
However, one thing that Zhang Xuan swiftly noticed was that there was a unique formation sealing away every single one of the medicinal herbs, preventing anyone from coming into contact with them .
It's no wonder the Skyleaf King didn't store the medicinal herbs into the storage ring . He probably has no way of breaking these seals, Zhang Xuan thought internally .
The seals were built in a manner similar to the seal in the Subterranean Gallery . Master teachers could pass through the seal with relative ease, but Otherworldly Demons weren't able to do the same .
In other words, despite having guarded the chamber and watching over these medicinal herbs for two years, the Skyleaf King was still unable to obtain a single one of them .
Otherwise, even with the suppression from the sacred light, he still should have made significant advancement in his cultivation through consuming the precious medicinal herbs in the room .
If I wish to obtain the medicinal herbs, it will need to be in my body .
Thus, Zhang Xuan swiftly drew his physical body out from the Myriad Anthive Nest before returning his soul to it .
He stretched his stiffened body for a while before turning his gaze toward the medicinal herbs and books around him .
Most of the books detailed the various methods of how one could achieve a breakthrough to Saint realm . He had already collected many of those and compiled a correct version of the Saint Ascension Decipher, so there was no need for him to collect any more of them .
Saint Void Heart Grass, Heavenly Dragon Flower, Woodscent Stalk… While these medicinal herbs aren't particularly high-tiered, they possess the ability to induce a metamorphosis of one's soul and physical body, thus making them ideal medicinal herbs to push for a breakthrough to Saint realm .
After a swift scan around the chamber, Zhang Xuan nodded .
The medicinal herbs within the room were all useful in one way or another in achieving a breakthrough to Saint realm . It was probably with the differing needs that different cultivators would have when attempting a breakthrough in mind that Kong shi prepared an entire room of medicinal herbs within the Saint Ascension Hall .
Soon, a certain medicinal herb appeared in Zhang Xuan's sight .
As expected, there's indeed the Grand Intermittence Grass here!
The Grand Intermittence Grass could nourish a person's vitality . If paired with suitable medicinal herbs, it could metamorphose a cultivator's physical body into the flesh of a true Saint . That being said, it would be rather extravagant for one to use such a precious medicinal herb for a breakthrough to Saint realm .
I should quickly take it first .
With a swift movement, Zhang Xuan's hand reached for the seal to grab the medicinal herb .
