Walking along the way, Chu Hao asked a Bei Ling Academy disciple about the situation in this world, "When do the foreign ghosts attack the Yang Realm?"

The academy disciple replied, "What are foreign ghosts!? The evil ghosts from the Underworld?"

He actually didn't know.

Chu Hao asked again, "Tell me, where is the greatest treasure in the Holy City?"

The academy disciple was speechless, "Junior, the greatest treasure of the Holy City, I don't know what you're talking about."

Chu Hao said, "It's the place with the most Yin-Yang Techniques, the strongest place."

The academy disciple thought for a moment, "The place you're talking about, all Eight Great Academies have it, it's the Academic Hall."

Chu Hao was delighted, "They all have it? Then why bother, let's go back."

Damn!

This junior, why did he change his mind again, what does he want to do?

Chu Hao excitedly said, "Once I clear out Bei Ling Academy's Academic Hall, I'll go to the other academies."

This guy, does he have to speak so terrifyingly, you almost scared my heart out of me.

The academy disciple pulled Chu Hao, "Wait, junior! Bei Ling Academy's Academic Hall was gone over ten years ago, going there is useless."

Chu Hao stopped, displeased, "No wonder you all ranked last."

The academy disciple was speechless, you know we're ranked last, why would you join Bei Ling Academy, you're the strange one.

Chu Hao asked, "What's a Grand Scholar, and what use is it?"

The academy disciple was about to collapse, what are you asking, you don't know what a Grand Scholar is, why do you want to become one.

An An came over, weakly said, "Um, my young master drank too much last night and forgot many things."

Drinking does cause blackouts.

But you must've drunk yourself into amnesia.

The academy disciple said, "A Grand Scholar is the strongest Yin-Yang Practitioner among the Eight Great Academies' disciples, only ten Grand Scholars per term, representing the ten strongest in the Holy City."

"Becoming a Grand Scholar among Yin-Yang Practitioners allows you to join the selection, possibly becoming a disciple of the Human Emperor Clan."

Yang Min'er hurriedly asked, "Who is the current Human Emperor Clan?"

"Emperor Shun."

Everyone was shocked, the current Human Emperor Clan is Emperor Shun, the leader of ancient Huaxia, you could actually become his disciple.

So that's it, this is the purpose of a Grand Scholar, if I can become a disciple of Emperor Shun, wouldn't the strongest Yin-Yang Techniques of this era be within reach?

Chu Hao was secretly excited, "System, did you know this all along, which is why you issued the Grand Scholar task?"

System: "You're overthinking, this system only issues tasks for the host to show off, it doesn't foresee the future. The Grand Scholar task is just right for the host to show off currently."

The system is just the system, not as complicated as I thought.

Chu Hao said directly, "What am I challenging ghosts for? Who are the ten strongest on the Eight Academies list, I'll take them down and replace them."

The Bei Ling Academy disciple couldn't help but laugh, "Junior, are you sure?"

Chu Hao, with hands behind his back, "With me being invincible, what's the top ten, I am the current number one."

Speechless, though this junior has terrifying power, he's overly confident, extremely arrogant.

The Bei Ling Academy disciple said, "Junior, I have faith in you. Among the current top ten, there are those from the Human Emperor Clan, Tao Clan, Wang Family Clan, Tai Clan, Yan Family Clan, Lord Emperor Shun from the Human Emperor Clan is among the top ten, was the number one back then, you can challenge him, you know."

Chu Hao's face turned black upon hearing this, he was showing off too much, the current top ten are Emperor Shun's generation.

Yang Min'er said, "So, this generation of Grand Scholars hasn't been selected yet."

The Bei Ling Academy disciple nodded, "Correct."

That's really troublesome, will we have to challenge each one, beat them into submission? He only has seven days.

Chu Hao asked, "How can I become a Grand Scholar faster? I want the fastest way."

The Bei Ling Academy disciple said, "There's a way, you just need to pass the Emperor's Three Trials, directly becoming a Grand Scholar."

Without another word, Chu Hao said, "Turn around, take me to the Emperor's Three Trials."

The Bei Ling Academy was speechless, this guy is overconfident.

As they walked, they arrived at the center of the Holy City, where Chu Hao found it familiar, he had seen it before, though the once prosperous scene had turned to ruins, only vague outlines remained.

This city is the world's main city, full of bustling scenes, Chu Hao also saw some people dressed in fur skins.

Some of them came from distant tribes, most people's bodies were tattooed with totems, upon closer look, they were curse rune totems with various mythical beasts and characters.

People from outside found it fascinating, this feeling was so wonderful, assuming a new identity, blending into this world.

"That's one huge bear."

Someone saw, a giant black bear, four meters on all fours, its fur glossy black, with a person sitting on it, he came from a tribe.

Most people in the Holy City weren't surprised by the black bear, nor were they afraid of it.

A gray wolf was directly used as a mount, very cool, leaving everyone dazzled.

The Bei Ling Academy disciple proudly said, "This period's Holy City, is the liveliest time, they come from all over the world, and more people come to witness the birth of the top ten Grand Scholars."

Suddenly, Chu Hao and his companions saw a group of people approaching, dressed in familiar attire, much like ancient Taoist clothing, each with long hair tied up, looking elegant and calm.

Even the women, their beauty far surpassing most women in the Holy City, making it a rare magnificent sight.

The Bei Ling Academy disciple said, "It's the Tao Clan."

The Tao Clan, so this is the ancient Taoist Clan?

Chu Hao and others thought that the Tao Clan and future Taoists were quite different, even from afar, they exuded a mysterious force, enigmatic and unfathomable.

Su Huansheng is a descendant of this clan.

Laozi is also a descendant of the Tao Clan.

Even in later civilizations, Taoism remained prosperous, never vanishing from the annals of history.

And! The Taoist Clan pushed the current civilization to a peak era.

This era's Tao Clan is already very powerful, renowned worldwide.

However, Chu Hao noticed that most people in the Holy City seemed to fear the Tao Clan, some moved aside, others stood still, but didn't dare to look them in the eye.

Chu Hao curiously asked, "Why are people so afraid when they see the Tao Clan?"

The Bei Ling Academy disciple hurriedly covered Chu Hao's mouth, shivering, "Junior, don't get me in trouble, these people are not to be messed with, very mysterious, let's hurry and leave."

Chu Hao was forcibly dragged away.

At this moment, a Tao Clan woman turned her head to look at Chu Hao's back, frowning slightly.

"Lin, what are you looking at?" asked a Tao Clan member.

This Tao Clan woman, with delicate features and fair skin, if she changed clothes, she would be an unparalleled beauty.

She quietly said, "Senior brother, I saw a very strange person, he has Yin Yang Force."

"Yin Yang Force!" a Tao Clan man exclaimed.

Lin's eyes suddenly turned grayish white, then quickly reverted to normal.

"That's right, it's the Yin Yang Force used by a Loose Saint," Tao Clan's Lin nodded.
