I Am Overlord

Chapter 1465: Preaching The Dao In The Restaurant

Xiang Shaoyun fled the hall like he was fleeing the scariest thing in the world. Those elders were way too passionate. Every one of them was trying their best to marry their daughters and granddaughters to him. As far as Xiang Shaoyun was concerned, he might be incredibly handsome, but he was not the kind of man to marry any woman he saw.

After leaving the hall, Xiang Shaoyun stumbled upon a group of almost 1,000 people. They roared, "We welcome the overlord's return to the academy!"

Their voices rumbled in all directions, instantly spreading throughout the academy.

These people were none other than the Overlord Legion members. At present, the academy only had over 10,000 disciples remaining. Most of the disciples were training outside of the academy, and only a small number of them had remained in seclusion inside the academy. Thus, the Overlord Legion's feat of gathering almost 1,000 people in such a short time frame proved their influence within the academy.

Xiang Shaoyun felt a warm current enveloping his heart. He smiled and said, "You are too polite. Rise, everyone."

Zhuge Zhantian stepped forth and said, "Overlord, we have been waiting a long time for today to arrive. In fact, we were planning to visit you at the Ziling Sect if you still didn't return."

Looking at Zhuge Zhantian, who had matured considerably, Xiang Shaoyun was astonished to see that Zhuge Zhantian's cultivation had reached the pseudo-Saint Realm. He had not imagined that Zhuge Zhantian would improve so rapidly. One ought to know that Zhuge Zhantian was someone specializing in formations and strategies. Since when was he also so good at cultivation?

"Today, let us drink to our hearts' content!" said Xiang Shaoyun. He did not ask about Zhuge Zhantian's cultivation because he knew that everyone had their own fortuitous encounters. He believed that Zhuge Zhantian was also a person of great fortune.

Next, the group headed to a restaurant in the academy. They booked the entire academy and started celebrating Xiang Shaoyun's return.

Just as they were feasting and drinking, a lone traveler arrived before the restaurant. Many of them looked over. Immediately, one of them exclaimed in shock, "The eldest senior brother is back!"

Everyone looked over. A youth in white could be seen walking into the restaurant with a smile on his face. His smile was warm and infectious, giving everyone an amiable sensation. In the Dragon Phoenix Academy, there was only one eldest senior brother, an eldest senior brother whom everyone acknowledged. He was none other than Baili Yixiao, the academy's strongest disciple. Now a third-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator, he could hardly find a match for his sword of righteousness.

If Xiang Shaoyun had remained in the academy, he would have been the one to become the eldest senior brother. Xiang Shaoyun had returned, but he was no longer Baili Yixiao's junior disciple. Instead, he was now an elder whose rank was far higher than a disciple. Naturally, Baili Yixiao could no longer be considered his senior.

"Brother Xiang, do you mind having a drink with me?" asked Baili Yixiao.

"So it's Brother Baili. It is my honor to have a drink with you!" said Xiang Shaoyun in a friendly manner.

For Xiang Shaoyun, Baili Yixiao was someone he intended to befriend. After all, Baili Yixiao had always been a formidable cultivator with excellent swordsmanship. Despite his strength, he wasn't as arrogant and overbearing as Zhan Wushuang. Furthermore, he also had a good reputation. Many Overlord Legion members also looked highly upon him. Thus, it wouldn't be a bad choice to befriend someone like this.

Baili Yixiao did not hesitate and sat down to join the feast. The two talked about random topics as though they were old friends who had not seen each other for a long time. There was no hostility between the two, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Subsequently, more and more disciples invited themselves to the feast. In truth, they were all at the feast to see Xiang Shaoyun. Since Xiang Shaoyun was in a good mood, he decided to welcome all these guests.

With that, a large number of disciples gathered, filling the restaurant to the brink. Regardless of whether they were from different factions or were hostile to each other, everyone sat together because of Xiang Shaoyun. Just this gathering alone was proof of Xiang Shaoyun's current influence.

"Overlord, I heard that you can now kill Great Saints. Can you tell us more about the ways of achieving sainthood?" asked someone.

In fact, Xiang Shaoyun was strong enough to become the master of these disciples. If they could obtain some guidance from him, they would benefit greatly.

"That's right. Why don't you talk to us about cultivation, overlord? We'll be happy to be half as strong as you," said someone else.

Soon, more and more people seconded the suggestion, hoping to learn from Xiang Shaoyun's experience.

Xiang Shaoyun gave it some thought and said, "Sure. Since everyone wishes to hear my thoughts on cultivation, I'll share them. However, I can't guarantee that my thoughts will be helpful to everyone."

After arranging his thoughts, he shared his experience based on what he had learned from the Desolation mantra. As someone who had lived two lives before this, Xiang Shaoyun was naturally much more experienced than them. What he said was easy to understand yet could evoke one's thoughts. Slowly, everyone became fully engrossed in his words, forgetting even the liquor in their glasses.

The more Xiang Shaoyun spoke, the clearer his heart became. It was as though he was rearranging all his experiences from his current and previous lives. Not only had his listeners benefited from what he said, but he himself had benefited considerably as well.

As the topics he touched upon became deeper and deeper, an incorporeal undulation started spreading within the restaurant. The powers of the various daos and profundities spread outside the restaurant, reaching the other disciples, who hurriedly rushed toward the restaurant.

"Is there a senior preaching about the dao? Even a phenomenon of profundities has appeared! Quick, we need to take a look!"

"Someone capable of invoking such a phenomenon is definitely not an ordinary elder. Perhaps the speaker is a God Realm guardian."

"This is an extremely rare opportunity! We need to go and listen as well!"

"I thought the restaurant was booked by the Overlord Legion? Why is someone preaching about the dao over there?"

...

More and more disciples headed toward the restaurant. Soon, they discovered the over 1,000 disciples silently listening to the lecture in the restaurant. Every single one of them had a look of deep concentration. In the middle of everyone was a handsome young man. The young man was talking incessantly while undulations of the great dao were filling the restaurant, forming a mystical scene.

The newly arrived disciples quickly calmed themselves and sat down cross-legged outside the restaurant. With all their focus, they started listening to the young man's lecture as well. Before long, a group of overseers arrived. These were the Sovereign Realm cultivators who had decided to stay in the academy after graduation. Due to the limitations of their talent, they were unable to enter the Heaven Battling Realm. Thus, they decided to stay in the academy to look for more chances to break through.

Like the disciples, the overseers also sat down cross-legged outside the restaurant. Instead of disturbing the youth in the restaurant, they listened to his lecture with all their focus. Everyone present was a genius cultivator who had experienced much in life. They only needed a single opportunity to reach a higher level of cultivation. The content of the youth's lecture was extremely enlightening for them, helping them see through themselves and take a step forward in their path of cultivation.
