Everyone remained silent as they walked steadily forward.

Fang Yun examined the place carefully. The corridor's style did not seem of the mortal world; the patterned carvings on both sides were clearly new, yet they gave off a sense of ancient vicissitudes.

Fang Yun knew that all of this had been formed from Sage Cui's will.

Although the records in books were not detailed, Fang Yun knew that after becoming a Half-Sage, one would develop a Literary World.

Literary Worlds were exceedingly unique and possessed all manner of wondrous uses. After a Sagefall, a Literary World would become a space between reality and illusion, managed by the Half-Sage's descendants. Yet even the descendants of a Half-Sage could not grasp all the mysteries of their ancestor's Literary World.

Take the Zhuge Family as an example. Zhuge Liang's descendants had always known that he had hidden part of his Literary World away. If later generations possessed sufficient talent, they could enter the Literary World and obtain Zhuge Half-Sage's inheritance. If they lacked the aptitude, Zhuge Liang's relics would remain sealed forever.

Zhuge Liang's Book of Changes Literary Treasure, the Eight Formation Diagram, and the Craftsmen School Literary Treasure, the Wooden Ox and Gliding Horse, had yet to appear in the world.

Because the descendants of many Half-Sage Families lacked sufficient ability, their treasures had been scattered everywhere, causing some Half-Sages to become unwilling to entrust all their treasures to their descendants.

At the end of the white corridor stood the Gate of Light. After passing through it, everyone discovered that they were inside an enormous lecture courtyard identical to Sishui Courtyard of Confucius Academy. At the entrance to the courtyard stood another gate of light.

Sishui Courtyard was where Sage Kong had given lectures.

Fang Yun followed the others toward the entrance
