"Zhang shi!"
As soon as Zhang Xuan arrived in the area as well, Ren shi from the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters immediately headed forward to greet him.
Following which, the Luo Clan's Luo Ganzhen, Jiang Clan's Jiang Fangyou, and a couple other powerhouses from the Master Teacher Continent gathered around him.
It seemed like those people had stumbled upon their own fortuitous encounters as well. Just like his parents, they had all reached Sempiternal realm consummation!
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Xuan realized that other than the six outer dimensions and the Subordinate Halls, there were a few unique space-time regions in the Temple of Confucius. Those who managed to stumble upon one would find their flow of time accelerating, and overcoming the bottlenecks that they faced in their cultivation would be much easier.
From the looks of it, it was clear that they had benefited greatly from the Temple of Confucius, and their journey had not been wasted.
On the contrary, it seemed like it was only Zhang Xuan, who had been busy wandering around the area and did not spend too much time cultivating, who was lagging behind the others.
"First and foremost, I should save Yuan Tao..."
While he was chatting, Zhang Xuan caught sight of Yuan Tao's figure amid the crowd where the offspring of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers were gathered.
Just like Zhao Ya and Wei Ruyan, Yuan Tao's senses had been sealed, so he could not sense that Zhang Xuan was in the vicinity.
Upon seeing that Zhang Xuan was intending to head over, Ren shi hurriedly tried to persuade him. "Zhang shi, the Ancient Sages have already announced that the different powers aren't to make a move on one another. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed on the spot!"
"That's a rule that the Ancient Sages decided upon in order to secure the safety of the younger generation. Otherwise, if a battle erupted and all of their geniuses who have a chance of advancing to Ancient Sage were killed, their journey here would have been in vain!" Luo Ganzhen added.
"Given the current circumstances, it would be best not to get into a conflict with them. Besides, with our Ancient Sages around, I doubt that they will dare harm Yuan Tao!"
"This..." Zhang Xuan knew that what Luo Ganzhen said was right, but he could not help hesitating.
"They're right," Luo Ruoxin remarked with a smile. "The Hundred Schools of Philosophers won't harm Yuan Tao yet. If we make a reckless move here, the situation could take a turn for the worse. It would be better to save him after we enter the Apricot Pavilion, where the Ancient Sages can no longer interfere. Besides, this might also be a good opportunity for Yuan Tao!"
"Good opportunity?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Un. The Apricot Pavilion is the area where Kong shi imparted his teachings to others, so his words echo within the entire building. Since the Hundred Schools of Philosophers has kidnapped Yuan Tao, it's certain that they have made preparations for something with his Emperor Bloodline. This could be an opportunity for him, and it would be a huge loss if we saved him right now. Taking a step back, even if he is placed in a dangerous position, we can step in and save him at any moment!" Luo Ruoxin said.
Zhang Xuan nodded in realization.
He did not know that the Apricot Pavilion was the place where Kong shi had imparted his teachings to others.
