Chapter 542 The Preaching Begins, the Young Man's Comeback
Although their ancestor was an unparalleled powerhouse capable of annihilating Youmingtian, one of the lackeys of the Heavenly Dao, he was still confident that he could surpass his ancestor.
This shows how confident he was, and what's even more frightening is that he actually succeeded.
True to their word, that's the mark of the first person in ancient times.
"Putting everything else aside, the strong people in this world are indeed skilled at talking nonsense. In that sense, the personalities of the strong people here are quite similar to the emperors and kings of the Origin Realm and some immortal kings of the Chaotic Ancient Era."
Jiang Hao couldn't help but laugh. The people in this world are indeed interesting.
Those quotes, those vows, those obsessions, are all etched into the memory of heaven and earth; even in death, their will remains.
Jiang Hao withdrew his gaze and looked up into the depths of the sky, where something was blocking his view.
He fell from the Heavenly Dao, becoming a Celestial King-level being, and merged with the entire world.
Even Jiang Hao couldn't see through it at a glance, but he wasn't in a hurry. The pieces had already been laid, and the strategy had already been laid out.
He just needs to wait, wait for the right opportunity.
"The chessboard is set; let's see who comes out on top."
Jiang Hao took a step forward and arrived in front of a huge city.
The city walls are towering, the city gates are majestic, and the city is bustling with traffic and crowds.
This is Tianfeng City, also known as the City of Sin. For many years, madmen, outlaws, and desperate people from both the East and West have taken root here. The city is a melting pot of all sorts of people and is very famous throughout the human world.
The city wall is tall and mottled, marked by the passage of time and the traces of war.
The city gates were wide open, and crowds thronged the streets, with people of both Eastern and Western descent coexisting.
Blonde-haired, blue-eyed Westerners walked along the street in twos and threes. Their features were deep-set and their stature was tall, making them very similar to the Europeans and Americans in Jiang Hao's previous life.
To his surprise, the order in this city of sin was actually quite good.
There were no robberies on the street, and no one drew their knife at the slightest disagreement.
Vendors hawked their wares on the roadside, children chased each other at the alley entrances, and even city guards patrolled to maintain order.
"Well managed."
Jiang Hao nodded slightly. The city's administrators were quite capable.
Managing a group of outlaws like this cannot be done by force alone.
The strongest and most central force in this city is Tianfeng Academy.
Yes, there is an academy in the City of Sin, and it is a very prestigious academy, famous throughout the human world. This academy has produced many talented individuals and can be considered one of the top 985 universities in the human world.
Tianfeng Academy is located in the north of the city, covering a vast area with towering walls and a majestic gate. Two stone statues stand before the gate: one of an Eastern swordsman, the other a Western mage, symbolizing the academy's inclusive and eclectic educational philosophy. Every year, countless young people come from all over, hoping to gain admission to Tianfeng Academy, but its acceptance rate is extremely low, much lower than that of the top universities in Jiang Hao's previous life.
It is precisely because of Tianfeng Academy that Tianfeng City enjoys such good order.
Jiang Hao stood in front of the gate of Tianfeng Academy, his hands behind his back.
He came here not to study, nor to sightsee, but to spread the word.
Yes, Jiang Hao is going to preach and spread the laws of the Origin Realm.
The world's top-tier individuals who defy the heavens, such as Dugu Potian and the Great Demon King, are indeed amazing, possessing formidable combat power and terrifying vitality.
But that's after the Heavenly Realm. Before the Heavenly Realm, the cultivation system of this world has many shortcomings. Its combat power, foundation, and potential are all inferior to the Origin Realm Law.
Moreover, the cultivation philosophy after reaching the Heavenly Realm is similar to that of the Immortal Path in the Mortal World, both emphasizing continuous transformation.
The strong in this world focus on opening up their inner world after reaching the Heavenly Realm, which is one of the important reasons for their strong vitality.
The two can learn from each other and spread cultivation methods; Jiang Hao never holds anything back.
A method can only demonstrate its value, continuously explore its potential, and evolve and improve when more and more people practice it.
Tianfeng Academy is an excellent platform for dissemination. It has people, fame, and influence, so there's no need to start from scratch.
This saves a lot of trouble and is perfect for spreading the Great Way.
After entering Tianfeng Academy, Jiang Hao did not choose to play dumb to deceive others.
Instead, he directly revealed a bit of his strength, and although it was only a little bit, it was enough.
Jiang Hao's appearance and performance directly shocked all the powerful figures of Tianfeng Academy.
The dean of Tianfeng Academy was the first to rush out, followed by the vice dean, elders, and enshrined members...
One after another, even those who had secluded themselves in seclusion were alarmed and spoke respectfully.
"Your presence is an honor to Tianfeng Academy. May I ask what your instructions are?"
They were stunned. Could there still be such a powerful being in the human world?
Jiang Hao then directly expressed his request: he wanted to preach here and would not interfere with anything else.
The administrators of Tianfeng Academy naturally agreed, since Jiang Hao's request was not difficult to fulfill.
Everything went very smoothly, which is the advantage of not pretending to be weak to take advantage of others. Otherwise, he would have been insulted and then had to show off and get slapped in the face before things would be done. But Jiang Hao had no interest in any of that.
He's not a war god. This kind of masochist, the divine doctor, enjoys being humiliated and then slapped in the face with a crooked smile.
Why take a roundabout way when you can solve something directly?
And so, Tianfeng Academy gained a mysterious visiting professor.
No one knows his origins, no one knows his cultivation level, all that is known is that he is very strong, so strong that the entire academy's resources combined are not enough to match even a single finger of his.
So Jiang Hao prepared to begin his missionary career.
Meanwhile, in the distant city of Wudan, the Xiao family...
A light screen hangs high in the training ground.
A young man in black stood on the high platform, took a deep breath, and threw a punch.
On the light screen, numbers flashed: First-tier fighter.
The entire room fell silent, then erupted in chaos.
"Hiss! A Dou Zhe! Xiao Yu has broken through to the Dou Zhe level!"
"Three years, three years have passed, and he's risen again. The once unparalleled genius has returned!"
"Young Master Xiao Yu, I knew you weren't a good-for-nothing!"
"He broke through from the third stage of Dou Zhi Power to Dou Zhe in just a few months. This rate of progress is terrifying!"
Those who once mocked, ridiculed, and trampled on him now wore fawning smiles and swarmed around him.
Some people offered gifts, some chatted and reminisced, and some even wanted to cling to him like family. It was completely different from before, as if they weren't the ones who had mocked Xiao Yu before. It was just that real.
"As expected, they really are a fickle bunch."
Xiao Yu looked at the ugly mouths of the family members and secretly shook his head.
He ignored the group of people, unaware of their presence. He simply walked calmly down from the platform, through the crowd, and back to his room.
In those three years, he went from a genius to a good-for-nothing, suffering endless scorn and cold treatment.
Those three years were very difficult, but thankfully, everything turned out well. He recovered and became the peerless genius he once was.
He finally felt a sense of triumph; those three years of being a useless person had been too unbearable.
"But these three years weren't wasted."
The young man said softly that these three years had allowed him to see the true colors of too many people and had also tempered his own character.
These three years weren't all bad.
Xiao Yu raised his right hand and looked at the antique ring on his ring finger.
On the ring, a phantom slowly emerged. It was an old man with white hair, a gaunt face, and deep eyes, surrounded by a faint soul light.
