At the same time.
Great Zhou, the imperial palace.
Both King Wu of Great Zhou and the Great Zhou Emperor were staring at the Heavenly Bell in the void.
“Damn it, the few people in front of me, I’ve never even heard of them. Why？”
King Wu of Great Zhou looked very dissatisfied.
Back then, he was the number one person in Central Continent. Unexpectedly, after being trapped in the Burial Dragon Nest for so many years, when he came out, the times had changed. The once number one person in Central Continent could only rank sixth on the Ascending Dragon List.
The Great Zhou Emperor explained, “I’ve heard of Dugu Wudi. It is said that a few months ago, outside the Undead Mountain, this person fought against Wuji Tianzun, the head of the Yin-Yang Sect at the sage realm and finally escaped calmly. It can be seen that he is an extremely extraordinary person.”
“Yunshan is the suzerain of Qingyun Sword Sect, the number one sect in the Eastern Wilderness, and his strength is extraordinary. This is known throughout the cultivation world.”
“As for that Extreme Dao Heavenly Demon, he is from the Demon Race. We have no friendship with the Demon Race, and in addition, the Demon Race has not come to Central Continent for so many years, so I don’t know much about him.”
The Saint Monk of Ling Mountain is the abbot of the Great Thunderclap Temple in the Western Desert and is proficient in Buddhist supernatural powers. However, he is not a pure monk.”
King Wu of Great Zhou asked, “What do you mean by that？”
The Great Zhou Emperor replied, “Although the Saint Monk of Ling Mountain is a Buddhist, he is cruel and merciless, killing people like hemp. He not only occupied the territory of his master’s school but also massacred his master’s school and wiped out the orthodoxy of his master’s school.”
“The cruelty of this person’s mind is rarely seen in ten thousand years.”
“He once intended to come to Zhongzhou to preach the Dharma and also wanted to be the national teacher of the Great Zhou, saying that he could help me unify Zhongzhou, but I declined politely. I don’t want to get involved with such a person.”
King Wu of Zhou nodded： “This guy even wiped out his own master’s school. He is definitely not a good bird. It was right for you to reject him.”
“However, this guy can rank third on the Ascending Dragon List, and his strength should not be underestimated.”
The Great Zhou Emperor said： “I remember that decades ago, the Holy Monk of Ling Mountain was only at the Saint realm. Unexpectedly, decades have passed, and this guy has actually broken through to the Saint King.”
“In my opinion, either he has obtained some adventure, or he deliberately hides his true cultivation level from the outside world.”
“But no matter which one it is, we must be on guard.”
“This guy has developed the Great Thunderclap Temple into a holy land for Buddhist cultivation in the Western Desert. It is no exaggeration to say that this guy is now the master of the Western Desert.”
“From the time he said he wanted to come to the Great Zhou to preach the Dharma, I knew that this guy was not willing to stay in the Western Desert all the time. His ambition is very big.”
King Wu of Zhou said： “Everyone has ambition, especially those who are in high positions and have extraordinary strength. Their ambition is even greater. Without ambition, one cannot achieve a great cause.”
“However, to turn ambition into reality, one needs to have strong enough strength.”
“If one has no strength and still has great ambition, then one will ask for trouble.”
“Believe me, that so-called Holy Monk of Spirit Mountain won’t come to a good end. Any bastard who betrays his master and ancestors will die a miserable death.”
King Wu of Zhou still wasn’t satisfied and cursed, “He actually ranked that bastard Holy Monk of Spirit Mountain ahead of me. It seems the owner of the Heaven and Earth Bell isn’t a good bird either.”
The Great Zhou Emperor was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and said, “Grandpa, this is a combat power ranking, not a character ranking.”
“Although the Holy Monk of Spirit Mountain is ranked ahead of you, it won’t be long. After your vitality recovers, you will definitely be able to surpass him.”
“Everyone in the Great Zhou knows that you were once the number one genius in Central Continent！”
When King Wu of Zhou heard this, a proud look appeared on his face and he said, “Back then, I broke through to the Saint King realm in less than a thousand years. How many peerless geniuses in Central Continent were stepped on by me? At that time, I was high-spirited…”
The Great Zhou Emperor really wanted to say, Grandpa, can’t we heroes not mention the bravery of the past？
But seeing King Wu of Zhou high-spirited and excited, he didn’t dare to interrupt. Just then——
“Dang！”
The Heaven and Earth Bell suddenly rang. That sound was like a spring thunder, deafening and resounding through the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
Soon, words appeared on the bell.
“Second place, Master, Saint King realm, the Palace Master of Jixia Academy the most knowledgeable person in the world, practicing the awe-inspiring righteousness, good at…
The Great Zhou Emperor looked excited and said, “Grandpa, Master is on the list.”
King Wu of Zhou looked at the name on the Heaven and Earth Bell, and a kind and benevolent face emerged in his mind. Then he tidied his clothes and bowed to the Heaven and Earth Bell.
Seeing this, the Great Zhou Emperor also quickly bowed.
At the same time, in the Star-Picking Tower of the Great Wei, the peerless national teacher Jin Bingyun, sitting in a wheelchair, cupped his hands and bowed to the Heaven and Earth Bell.
In the Great Qian Imperial Palace.
The Great Qian Emperor led the civil and military officials and stood outside the main hall in unison, bowing to the Heaven and Earth Bell.
And the common people of Zhongzhou, all knelt on the ground at this moment and kowtowed to the Heaven and Earth Bell.
They were not worshiping the Heaven and Earth Bell, but worshiping the Master.
The Master was erudite and had noble character. Besides teaching and educating people, he was free from worldly disputes and was respected by everyone in Zhongzhou.
It can be said that the Master was the spiritual symbol of Zhongzhou！
……
Qingyun Sword Sect.
At the entrance of the discussion hall.
The Long-Browed True Man asked curiously, “What is Jixia Academy？ And who is the Master？”
”Long-Browed, be careful with your words！” The Purple Yang Celestial Venerable said with a serious face, “Do not be disrespectful to the Master.”
Yunshan explained, “There is a school in Zhongzhou called Jixia Academy. It is located at the junction of the three kingdoms in Zhongzhou and does not belong to the jurisdiction of any country in Zhongzhou.”
”Jixia Academy recruits students regardless of their background, age, or gender, and it has no class distinctions in teaching.”
”Over the years, Jixia Academy has cultivated countless talents for Zhongzhou.”
And the Master of Jixia Academy is the Master!
Yunshan said, “As the Heavenly Bell of the World said, the Master practices the noble spirit of Hao Ran, and he is the most knowledgeable person in the world. Besides teaching and educating people, he has no disputes with the world. In addition, over the past ten thousand years, his disciples are all over Central Continent, and he is the person with the highest prestige in Central Continent.”
“Not to mention Central Continent, even in our Eastern Wasteland, as long as the name of the Master is mentioned, everyone will look solemn and respectful.”
The Long-browed True Man was shocked and said, “Ten thousand years？ Sect Master Yunshan, do you mean that the Master has lived for more than ten thousand years？”
It was the Purple Yang Celestial Venerable who answered the Long-browed True Man.
“To be precise, he is twelve thousand years old this year.”
The Purple Yang Celestial Venerable said to Ye Qiu, “Remember? When I was in the Eastern Wasteland Branch of the Underworld, I told you and Wushuang that I have a friend who knows astronomy above and geography below, and is proficient in all kinds of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.”
“He has a heart of great kindness, is indifferent to fame and fortune, does not covet power and influence, and does not envy wealth and honor. His mind and bearing are convincing, and he has won the respect and love of countless people.”
“He is the person I admire the most in my life and one of my few friends. For him, I can give up my life！”
Ye Qiu suddenly understood and asked, “So, this friend of Grandmaster is the Master？”
“Exactly！” The Purple Yang Celestial Venerable then frowned and said, “I remember that when I last corresponded with the Master, he told me in the letter that he had broken through to the Peerless Saint King.”
“Now he is actually in the Saint King realm. It seems that there may be a problem with his cultivation.”
“Ye Qiu, when you go to Zhongzhou, remember to go to Jixia Academy and say hello to the Master for me.”
“Okay.” Ye Qiu readily agreed.
Actually, even if Supreme Purple Yang didn’t say it, he was also going to find an opportunity to go to Jixia Academy to see if the Master was as miraculous as they said？
