"Teacher, you..."
The young man looked bewildered, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
He tried to block the stream of light, but unfortunately, it passed right through the young man and entered the body of the old man from the Daotian Academy.
Immortal King Giant... Ordinary Immortal King... Peak True Immortal...
The dean of Daotian Academy felt his cultivation level rapidly diminishing and his body growing weaker, but he remained calm, as if it were not him.
"Teacher, you can't leave. Daotian Academy still needs your leadership," Mingyuan pleaded, clutching the dean's hand. "Can't we just give up these ancient Confucian scriptures?"
In that instant, the old man vaguely saw his younger self.
"Teacher, this scripture is too difficult to understand; I don't want to continue reading it."
"Teacher, I want to eat candied hawthorn."
"Okay, okay, after you finish reciting this scripture, I'll buy you candied hawthorns, how about that?"
"Haha, Xiao Ji, you're an adult now. I've taken two characters from the Confucian classics for you: 'Haoran.' From now on, you'll be Xiao Haoran."
"...Teacher, I'm not a little kid anymore. Could you please stop patting my head like you did when I was little? I won't grow any taller!"
"Teacher, what is your dream?"
"My dream is to make Confucianism surpass that dead bald monk and that old Taoist priest, so that everyone will know the righteous spirit of Confucianism! Isn't that a great dream, little Haoran?"
"ah...."
"Haoran, I'm about to break through! Hehe, from now on I'll be a 'sage' in the history of Confucianism, and the first female 'sage' at that!"
"Then congratulations, teacher! I will become the strongest Confucian scholar after you!"
"Haoran, from now on you will be the vice dean of Daotian Academy, and I will be the dean. With our master and disciple working together, we will wipe out those corrupt scholars and dominate the Immortal Realm!"
"...Okay, whatever you say."
"Little Haoran, your teacher's dream has changed. Before, your teacher always wanted to prove himself, but now your teacher wants to do what the great Confucian scholars of ancient times did!"
"What's up?"
"Universal Harmony!"
"Teacher...please don't leave. Daotian Academy still needs your leadership...without you, where will the thousands of students of Daotian Academy go?"
"Little Haoran, from now on you will be the Dean of Daotian Academy. You must remember, Confucianism is not just about Confucianism, but also a symbol. Today I will show those corrupt Confucian scholars what it means to be a woman; a woman wielding a pen can still bring peace to the world."
"Teacher...teacher...can't we just give up on saving this world?"
"Haoran, you have disappointed me greatly. From now on, you are no longer my disciple. Get out."
"......."
"Cough cough" The dean of Daotian Academy felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and a vast and mighty literary aura swept out, condensing into two characters.
"Haoran"
These two characters, however, were cracked and broken, almost vanishing into the world. But they were stitched together with great supernatural power and nourished with boundless celestial energy, thus preserving them.
"This guy..." Hongguang Immortal King fell silent as he stared at the natal character that had been formed.
"How could someone who can become a disciple of the Confucian Sage have poor talent?" Immortal King Wenhe's eyes flickered as he murmured softly, "However, he's just another pitiful person trapped by his past."
How could the name given by the Confucian sage be so easily patched up?
Peak True Immortal... Late True Immortal... Mid True Immortal... Early True Immortal...
The dean of Daotian Academy looked increasingly old, and his original pride had become much more hunched. However, the natal character he had maintained for so long was gradually fading away.
In the end, the Dean of Daotian Academy's cultivation stopped at the Pseudo-Immortal Realm, and at this moment he was like an old man on his deathbed.
"Congratulations"
Yang An offered his congratulations. He hadn't expected the old man to eventually disperse his natal character. You see, when a Confucian cultivator disperses his natal character, it's basically equivalent to losing his qualification as a Confucian.
However, none of this concerns him anymore.
There are too many people in the world with stories to tell, and he has no interest in finding out about them all.
The dean of Daotian Academy looked at the ancient book placed in front of him and smiled. He reached out his hand tremblingly and gently stroked it. After a long while, he handed the book to the young man beside him.
"Mingyuan, from now on you will be the Dean of Daotian Academy. The future of Daotian Academy is entrusted to you."
A touch of noble spirit, a thousand miles of exhilarating wind.
"It's time for me to live my life for myself."
......
Congratulations, fellow Daoist!
"Congratulations"
"Congratulations"

Many powerful figures, including the Immortal King Hongguang, also sent their blessings.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on Yang An's face: "This is interesting. Looks like things are going to get a bit lively this time."
"The arrival of the City of All Heavens has indeed caused quite a stir; someone has actually crossed countless seas of time and found this place so quickly."
Yang An looked at the crowd and said quietly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the last item may have to be auctioned off later."

The powerful figures, including Immortal King Wenhe, looked puzzled. Even the Lord of the Immortal Court, who was still in deep meditation, recovered from his comprehension.
"Lord City Lord, has something changed in the outside world?"
Many of the Celestial Kings were old foxes who had lived for who knows how long. With just a little thought, they could roughly deduce that something major must have happened to make this mysterious city lord stop the auction.
The only possible problem is from the outside world.
However, what they didn't understand was what major event had occurred that made the city lord so prepared, even to the point of terminating the auction.
Yang An nodded: "A powerful being has located this tributary of time, crossed the Sea of Time, and descended here."
Spanning the sea of time...
How much causal responsibility does this entail?
........
Immortal Realm
In the endless sea of stars, there is a mysterious place that is said to be connected to. Over the years, countless generations of supreme beings have explored this place, but unfortunately, none of them have obtained any useful information.
Above the heavens, a dazzling divine light shot out, enveloping the entire sky. In the next moment, a golden portal appeared, and the Great Dao of the Heavens surged violently, as if some terrifying being was about to descend.
A massive array diagram appeared, followed by a terrifying figure stepping out from the golden portal. In an instant, boundless void turned to dust, and the entire Immortal Realm felt a supreme aura that made people's souls want to prostrate themselves in worship.
The distant other side of the abyss
"An 'Emperor'...has arrived!"
