Inside a lecture hall at Modu University, nearly a hundred students filled the seats.
On the podium, an elderly history professor with white hair and reading glasses held a microphone, passionately recounting the five-thousand-year history of dynastic changes and heroic epics of Huaxia.
"Students! As we look back at history, we can see that from Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, to Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Song, and then to the later Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the rise and fall of each dynasty..."
However.
Right in the middle of this academically charged classroom.
Sitting in the last row, in an inconspicuous corner.
A shy boy, who had been looking down the entire time, suddenly trembled violently!
Then, he slowly raised his head.
His eyes, which usually held a hint of timidity and confusion, were now completely replaced by an supreme majesty that looked down upon all living beings!
He, or rather, it, had awakened.
Immortal Emperor Ling Tian. (The protagonist will not cultivate immortality; it's still a purely urban setting!!!)
He was once an supreme being who dominated the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, capable of causing stars to vanish with a flick of his finger, and making myriad worlds rise and fall with a single thought, his might suppressing all the heavens and myriad domains!
However, while attempting to break through to the legendary eternal and indestructible supreme realm, he was ambushed by several Immortal Emperors of the same rank and suffered a merciless backlash from the Heavenly Dao's laws, leading to the collapse of his Dao foundation and the shattering of his Immortal Soul!
Only a faint, almost negligible wisp of his residual soul, carrying all his unwillingness and resentment, traversed endless temporal turbulence, and finally... by a stroke of luck, descended upon this low-level plane with thin spiritual energy and incomplete laws.
This place, this world, was, to him, nothing short of a "Dharma-ending Cage"!
Moreover, he had possessed the body of a weak university student with the same name as him, but a completely opposite personality.
He slowly scanned the surrounding students, who, in his eyes, were nothing more than "mortals" as tiny and fragile as ants.
These mortals were still listening to the "grand history" being taught by the mortal old man on the podium.
His eyes were filled with undisguised contempt and disdain.
"History? Heh heh... utterly ridiculous."
"Five thousand years in the eyes of you mortals is merely one of this Emperor's closed-door cultivations."
"The so-called dynastic changes are nothing more than fleeting clouds caused by this Emperor's sneeze."
"If not for this Emperor's momentary carelessness, being ambushed by villains, having his Dao foundation destroyed, and his Immortal Soul shattered."
"This small, incomplete world of yours probably wouldn't even be qualified to serve tea and pour water beneath this Emperor's seat!"
Just as Immortal Emperor Ling Tian was still silently lamenting his tragic fate, like a tiger fallen into a flatland.
The back door of the lecture hall, leading to the corridor, was suddenly blown open a crack by a gentle breeze.
Two equally youthful and beautiful, yet distinctly different, stunning figures happened to be walking by in the corridor outside the door, chatting and laughing.
Just that fleeting glance!
Ling Tian's eyes, which had been filled with disdain, instantly!
Like two stars suddenly lighting up in the night, burst forth with incredibly brilliant and dazzling hot light!
"This... what is this?"
His remaining divine sense instantly clearly perceived.
Within the delicate bodies of those two women who had just flashed past his eyes, there was actually an extremely pure and enticing essence... a Cauldron Dao Body!
One of them had a pure and clean aura, like a budding lily.
If he could take her pure and soft essence as a Cauldron and cultivate with her, his Immortal Soul would surely be nourished and strengthened rapidly!
And the other was the best of the best!
The Dao Body energy contained within her seemingly delicate and petite body was incomparably sharp, fierce, and domineering. If he could completely conquer her, devour her primordial essence, and use it to recast his murderous Dao foundation... with such a Cauldron in hand, why would he worry about failing his grand ambition? Why would he worry about not returning to his peak?
"Hahahaha, Heaven does not wish for my Ling Tian to perish!"
Ling Tian's Dao Heart, which had long been as still as an ancient well, actually rippled for a rare moment!
He knew that these two supreme Cauldron Dao Bodies, which were "great tonics" for him, were a gift from Heaven!
They were his greatest opportunity to rise again in this Dharma-ending era!
Now, his mind was filled with only one thought.
Catch them, obtain them!
Completely transform them into his exclusive Cauldrons!
Without a word, he abruptly stood up from his seat!
Ignoring whether class was still in session!
He turned and strode towards the back door of the classroom!
"Hey! That student!"
On the podium, the old professor, who had been speaking animatedly, immediately frowned upon seeing Ling Tian's sudden action!
He adjusted his glasses on his nose, tapped the podium with a tone of disappointment, and raised his voice, shouting:
"Student, where are you going?"
"You don't pay much attention in class, either daydreaming or sleeping!"
"Now, you even want to openly skip class in front of your teacher?"
However, Ling Tian didn't even bother to turn his head.
As if listening to a fly buzzing in his ear, he lightly tossed out two words:
"Noisy."
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to the old professor, who was trembling with anger, his beard bristling and eyes wide.
He directly pushed open the back door of the classroom and followed the two extremely exciting auras out!
"You... you..."
The old professor pointed at Ling Tian's disappearing back at the door, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
The entire lecture hall also fell into a deathly silence!
All the students stared dumbfounded at the scene before them.
They never dreamed that Ling Tian, who was usually quiet, even a bit introverted and withdrawn, would be... so bold today?
Not only openly skipping class but also openly rebutting the old professor to the point of speechlessness?
One must know that this old professor was a scholar whom even the principal respectfully addressed as "teacher."
Awesome!
Truly awesome!
The old man took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress his anger. He asked in an almost roaring tone:
"What's his name? That scoundrel who disrespected his teacher and openly skipped class, what's his name?"
"Professor, his name is Ling Tian..."
"Ling Tian?"
The old professor chewed on this name repeatedly in his mind!
Then, in front of all the students in the class, he heavily drew an 'X' next to Ling Tian's name on the roll call sheet!
"Good! Very good!"
"Ling Tian, is it? I've remembered him!"
"From today onwards! In my class, Ling Tian will always get a zero!"
With that, he slammed the roll call sheet in his hand onto the podium.
And continued his passionate and angry history lesson...
