From then on, he became increasingly powerful.

Why does this person in front of him decide to go against that path?

What would happen if the Dao disappeared?

Would it make him stronger?

What kind of logic is this?

Heavenly Note Sect was also quite curious. When did the Dao start to disappear again?

“Senior, there’s no need to understand. It’s nothing important.” Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Then Lou Mantian began to explain his Dao.

On the other side.

Fairy An Xiao was diligently sweeping the streets, dedicated to her duties.

She found it quite interesting.

Every day was just street sweeping.

It was much easier than teaching others.

Just occasionally, some acquaintances would mock her.

And behind her back, some would gossip.

She would…

beat them up at night.

Make them understand just how dark the Western Astronomical Academy was.

At night, any slight carelessness would result in a severe beating.

She suddenly saw three people while sweeping.

The lead person appeared middle-aged, his face filled with gloom.

The two behind him were no less dispirited.

Seeing them, Fairy An Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

These three were ancient seniors of the academy. She had only seen them a few times.

Why had they come to see her in person? Had some rebellious disciple committed an atrocity?

But no such questions arose.

Jing Dajiang looked at Fairy An Xiao and said: “Are you the one sweeping the streets?”

“I am.” Fairy An Xiao nodded.

“How many streets besides this one?” Jing Dajiang asked.

“There are quite a few.” Fairy An Xiao replied.

“Hmm, which streets do you plan to sweep next?” Jing Dajiang continued.

Although puzzled, Fairy An Xiao described her plan.

Upon hearing this, Jing Dajiang and the other two nodded and said: “From now on, these streets are ours. Hope you get the hint.”

Fairy An Xiao: “???”

Did the sky fall?

Why would these three sweep streets?

Who in the academy had a higher status than them?

————

Half a day later.

Lou Mantian stopped speaking.

Instead, he looked at the person in front of him.

There was something strange about this person; he could not understand.

For a brief moment, he felt as if the person had seen through all his paths.

And it seemed the person could wipe everything away with a mere wave of his hand.

What was this realm?

Could Daluo really do this?

“Senior’s Dao is similar to immortality.” Jiang Hao said with a sigh: “And there’s the trace of the Great Dao of strength; these are all stolen fruits. Stealing immortality and supplementing it with strength is actually good.

But…”

Jiang Hao looked at him and said: “Whether it’s the Dao of immortality or the Dao of strength, your essence isn’t in these but in stealing.

“The Corpse Clan and the people from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion are different. The combination of stolen immortality and strength seems strong but is somewhat narrow.

“You have never directly faced stealing.

“If you did, you might be able to steal a stronger Dao.”

In an instant, Lou Mantian felt his mind explode.

The other person truly dared to think like this.

Rumble!

Suddenly, thunder appeared in the sky.

This thunder was peculiar.

Jiang Hao felt the gaze fall on him from the heavens.

Not only that, but the person was approaching this era.

He felt clearly that the person had not fully locked onto him.

Whatever he said wouldn’t have any effect.

So why could the person approach again?

He hadn’t fought anyone or used exaggerated strength.

So, it wasn’t because of him?

“Was it a child, or something else?” Jiang Hao felt a headache: “Someone must be eager to draw the person here.”

In an instant, he thought of the person who had stabbed him in the back.

That person had hastened Cheng Yun’s arrival.

So, was it the same this time?

“What’s wrong?” Lou Mantian also felt the mysterious thunder.

“Cheng Yun has approached. It’s not a big deal, but I need to handle it. Otherwise, the time left for me will decrease.”

“This is passive. If he takes the initiative, who knows what will happen.” Jiang Hao said offhandedly.

“Cheng…” Lou Mantian instinctively wanted to speak.

But the instant the two characters appeared in his mind, he felt a chill through his entire body.

An unimaginable existence was about to spy on him.

With just one breath, the person could cause his Dao to collapse.

Suddenly, a drop of water fell onto his brow, and the terrifying and despairing feeling dissipated.

“Senior, it’s not suitable for you to recite his name. It’s best not to think about it. Occasionally sensing his danger, sometimes his presence will drop silently.” Jiang Hao reminded.

Lou Mantian broke out in a cold sweat, then looked at Yan Yuezhi beside him.

Her eyes had a hint of a strange emotion.

Suddenly, Lou Mantian recalled something.

Yan Yuezhi had always been afraid of something, yet he had been unable to ask about it.

This indicated it had already ventured into the unknown.

Now he had finally encountered it.

He also understood why Yan Yuezhi never mentioned it.

It wasn’t because she didn’t want to, but because she couldn’t.

“I originally planned to live here for a few days, but now I have to handle something.”

“Always adding to my troubles.” Jiang Hao stood up and addressed the two:

“This courtyard is mine. There are two more nearby, one belonging to the old headmaster and one to Gu Jin. If you come here, don’t go to the wrong place.”

“Don’t even mention the old headmaster; Gu Jin can hold a grudge sometimes.”

“Senior, where are you going?” Yan Yuezhi asked.

“The Ancient Lands, perhaps. Someone is doing something there that’s unfavorable to me.” Jiang Hao replied casually.

He then disappeared with Heavenly Note Sect.

Lou Mantian was relieved; being observed by the person felt like sitting on pins and needles.

He looked at Yan Yuezhi: “So there are things you don’t even dare to think about?”

Yan Yuezhi nodded: “Senior has also become like that.”

Lou Mantian: “….”

He had thought that by achieving Daluo, he stood at the pinnacle of the world.

But who would have thought that just as he became Daluo, before he could fully grasp its powers, he would suddenly feel as weak as before.

This Daluo….

How much significance is there in ascending?

————

“Not leaving directly?” Heavenly Note Sect asked on the way.

Jiang Hao shook his head: “I haven’t given something to Jing Dajiang yet.”

Heavenly Note Sect remembered the book.

Jiang Hao had temporarily extracted the Dao from that book.

One could experience Gu Jin’s past path.

Maybe it could provide further assistance.

When they met Jing Dajiang, he was still sweeping.

“Great Elder.” Jing Dajiang respectfully said upon seeing him.

Looking at the middle-aged man before him, Jiang Hao felt a wave of nostalgia.

He still remembered the other’s youthful arrogance, shouting in the courtyard that he would surpass Gu Jin, even claiming Gu Jin was merely the foundation for him to sit as head of the academy.

“You’ve grown old quickly.” Jiang Hao said slowly.

Jing Dajiang smiled: “Yes, but the Great Elder still appears so young.”

Jiang Hao took out the Ancient and Modern Taoist Books and said: “This is for you, it belonged to Gu Jin.”

When he received the book, Jing Dajiang hesitated: “Wouldn’t Gu Jin need it?”

“He’s already picked several Dao fruits, do you think he needs it?” Jiang Hao replied.

“Will I be able to defeat him now that I’ve become Daluo?” Jing Dajiang asked.

Jiang Hao nodded: “There’s a thirty to seventy chance, with him beating you seven times out of ten.”

Jing Dajiang: “….”

Jiang Hao looked at him and said: “I have matters to attend to and must go. If you have any questions, ask Miss Yan. She might sometimes be able to contact me.”

With that, Jiang Hao left.

“Great Elder.” Jing Dajiang called out to him.

Jiang Hao turned back.

Jing Dajiang, with a serious expression, said: “With the Great Elder around, am I invincible?”

Jiang Hao looked at him, then said after a moment of silence: “Go sweep the latrines.”

“One last question.” Jing Dajiang hurriedly asked: “How should I address the Great Elder’s wife?”

“Call her the Second Elder.” Jiang Hao left without looking back.

Jing Dajiang watched Jiang Hao disappear, deciding to hang the Second Elder’s name at the Great Elder’s residence.

The next day.

Fairy An Xiao prepared to sweep the streets once more.

But this time, only two people came. She curiously asked: “Where’s that senior?”

Luo Dahai casually replied: “He went to sweep the latrines.”

Fairy An Xiao: “???”

The sky had indeed fallen.

The academy was darker than she had imagined.

Whose hands had reached the academy?
