Chapter 475 The Stone Statues of the Saints
Zhusheng Island is an island located overseas from China.
In this vast world, the land of China is naturally the main focus, but beyond it lies a vast world. Even the overseas islands located outside of China, combined, are roughly half the size of the land of China.
For example, the Eight Evil Paths of yesteryear, after being driven out of the Central Plains, came to live on overseas islands. Among these many overseas islands, no one even knew that one of them contained the legacy of ancient sages.
From a distance, the Isle of Saints looked no different from any other deserted island. But Lin Fei knew this was just a smokescreen, designed to prevent anyone from discovering the island's existence.
However, such a deception could only fool those with lower cultivation levels, while Lin Fei, of course, saw through the true nature of the Island of Saints at a glance.
At a glance, he saw that there were many houses scattered on the island of saints, and in the very center of the island, there was a huge building that looked like a palace.
The old man raised his hand and pointed to the middle of the island, saying to Lin Fei, "Your Majesty, that is where the school is located on the Island of Saints. It was built in imitation of the Academy of Saints from the medieval era."
Lin Fei nodded indifferently. He was even more familiar with the Academy of Sages than the old man before him. After all, although the old man was a descendant of the Sages, he was not from the medieval era. Lin Fei, on the other hand, had personally witnessed the existence of the Academy of Sages.
The school building before me, a replica of the Academy of Sages, was indeed magnificent, but it still paled in comparison to the real Academy of Sages. This was understandable, given that the Academy of Sages was the culmination of the efforts of many ancient sages, the place of human revival. Even in today's vast world, perhaps only Leiyin Temple could compare.
……
Lin Fei followed behind the old man and flew towards the place of the Academy of Saints. From a distance, he could see that the ground outside the academy was already full of people—it was likely that they had been discovered by the people on the island as soon as they entered the area of the Island of Saints.
Standing behind were the students of Saints Island. Saints Island inherited the master-disciple model of the Saints Academy from the Middle Ages. Here, there were only teachers and students, and no other relationships existed. Lin Fei also found the students' clothing particularly familiar; it was the same clothing worn by the students of the Saints Academy in the Middle Ages.
Before the students stood four elderly men. These four men possessed a composed demeanor, and their extraordinary cultivation was immediately apparent. Lin Fei glanced at them and discovered that they were all experts at the Celestial Realm. They must be the other four Celestial Realm experts on the Island of Saints, besides Zhao Wuji.
As someone descended from the sky, the students on the ground bowed in unison and shouted, "Welcome back to the island, teacher!"
This Island of Saints is an island inherited from the ancient saints. Although the people on the island have not set foot on the land of China for ten thousand years, their spirit remains incomparably good. Everyone considers themselves to be the successors of the saints, and their expressions are filled with an unparalleled sense of pride.
On the vast land of China today, there is probably no other sect with the same spirit as the people of Zhusheng Island.
The four old men standing at the front smiled when they saw the person falling from the sky. Besides the two familiar figures, there was also a stranger following behind.
As the highest-ranking members of the Isle of Saints, the other disciples were unaware of the reason why Zhao Wuji had gone to the Divine Continent. Seeing that Zhao Wuji had brought the person back, they knew that the mission was probably complete.
"Brother Wuji, you must have had a long and arduous journey to the Central Plains!" one of the old men said to Zhao Wuji with a cupped-hand salute and a smile.
"Not at all, not at all," Zhao Wuji replied with a smile. "It's all part of my job, nothing to brag about."
The four old men glanced at Lin Fei behind Zhao Wuji, then bowed to him and said, "This must be His Majesty the current Emperor of the Southern Tang Kingdom?"
"It is indeed I." In front of these disciples of the Sages, Lin Fei did not act arrogantly or consider himself an emperor. Instead, he regarded himself as a person from the martial arts world and returned the greeting, saying, "Greetings to the seniors of the Sages Island."
"This isn't the place to talk," Zhao Wuji said, glancing at the many students around him. "Have all the students leave, and let's go inside the classroom to discuss this."
After dismissing the remaining disciples, the highest-ranking members of the various Saints' Islands led Lin Fei toward the academy.
Zhao Wuji had been away from Zhusheng Island for several days and was extremely worried about the situation there. Before even entering the school, he hurriedly asked the others, "How has the situation been on Zhusheng Island these past few days? Have any new accidents occurred?"
Ever since the stars fell and the statues of the saints began to tremble, they have been fearing that other unexpected situations might occur, which is why they did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to the land of China to find Lin Fei.
Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's question, the other old men also looked rather grim.
One of the old men sighed and said, "Brother Wuji, you should go and see for yourself!"
As they spoke, the group pushed open the doors of the School of Saints and walked inside.
……
Upon entering the school of saints, the first thing you see is the stone statues of medieval saints enshrined inside the school.
These stone statues of ancient sages are all incredibly lifelike, almost like real people. Lin Fei had personally witnessed the ancient sages, and these statues before him were sculpted as if they were reincarnations of those sages.
Most importantly, these stone statues, besides their striking resemblance in appearance, also subtly possess the unique aura of the ancient saints. The fact that they could create such statues is truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
Among these statues of saints, Lin Fei was also familiar with the two statues at the top—one of them was the strongest among the saints of the Middle Ages, known as the Confucian Sage who had the most disciples among the saints of the Middle Ages.
The other stone statue was exactly the same as Lin Fei himself!
Before coming here, Lin Fei already knew that his stone statue was also enshrined in the Hall of Sages, but he never expected that it would be enshrined at the very top of the Hall of Sages, placed together with the Confucian Sage, the strongest of the ancient sages.
It should be noted that the Confucian sage was the strongest among the ancient sages, and could even be said to be the head of all the ancient sages. The fact that Lin Fei's stone statue could be placed together with the Confucian sage's stone statue and ranked as the head of all the ancient sages shows his status in the hearts of these sages' disciples.
