Waking up in a room full of students wearing sect robes, he looked at one of them and spoke gently with a light smile.
"What's the matter Lin Xiao?"
Scratching the back of his head he replied, "Teacher Yu, I-I wanted to ask you something!"
"Huh? What is it? Don't worry and ask."
The other students covered their mouths in order to not laugh.
"W-when are you going to marry?"
Hao Yu (teacher) had a stone cold face.
"Sigh~ why is even my student now asking me about this…"he muttered. "Just because I'm not married doesn't mean that I'm lonely, I just like being single. There isn't any reason why I should marry in the first place and no I'm not looking to get married anytime soon. Does that answer your question?"
The reason that Hao Yus student asked such a question was that Hao Yu was a 80,000 year old bachelor. Hao Yu was relatively popular with his gentle personality plus his looks.
He wasn't going to punish someone simply because they asked unrelated questions. In fact, he told his students he would answer everything they wanted.
His current cultivation level is at the mid-immortal realm which is after ascending.
Usually someone his age would have already entered into a higher level of cultivation. Even his students had levels far above his.
The cultivation realms are usually grouped as mortal, half-immortal, immortal, great immortal, and emperor immortal. Each realm contains 6 levels from the mortal and decreases by 1 level after transitioning to the next realm.
Hao Yu had no interest in becoming a great cultivator and spent most of his time teaching his students.
One time his students asked, "Teacher Yu, why aren't you cultivating to the highest level? Don't you want to stand on the apex?"
To which he replied while smiling,
"There is no path that leads nowhere. I learned when I was young that there would always be countless cultivators who tried to reach the top and fight calamities and allow all the realms to prosper. Take the 8 empress for example. They had gone through countless trials with blood sweat and tears becoming the strongest in all 6 realms, why would I compete with them? Instead of competing with them, I would rather live a simplistic life and teach students to pursue their own dao."
Although some of them agreed with his views, they were in the minority. After all, which cultivator wouldn't want to be the strongest, have a harem, break the rules, and decide their own fate?
So even though Hao yu was popular in terms of kindness, he lacked power and was sometimes bullied by arrogant students.
The principal of the school thought that it was shameful so they appointed someone in the upper immortal stage to protect him.
To the arrogant students he considerately reminded them that, yes they are stronger than him, but there is always someone stronger and to look rationally.
As if karma was right besides them, the arrogant students were usually defeated by people that wanted to defy heaven and were levels lower than the arrogant students.
One of the more memorable times was when a student of his was sexually harassing another student. Since he was influential he almost got away with it, but a self righteous male student stopped him and challenged him to a duel in 3 months.
They must have been enemies and I was on the sideline simply watching. After the 3 months not only did the sexual harasser get punished, his…manhood was crushed as well.
That's why Hao yu was able to sleep at night. He knew that the more they cause harm, the more harm they're going to get. In fact those 'heroes' were even more arrogant than them, but had the strength and knowledge to back it up.
He usually didn't teach them anything because they already had a Dao that they wanted to follow. Some simply wanted women which Hao Yu didn't agree on, but nonetheless understood why.
To each their own.
The school that he taught was a rather prestigious school that contained students that were from influential families.
Hao Yu managed to get in by his own knowledge of the dao, but since Hao Yu didn't rely on any backing, he was forced to lay low and apologize if anything were to happen.
To others it might seem like a disgrace and viewed as a weakling, but he was thankful that this has led him to live a carefree lifestyle.
To Hao Yu, teaching someone would then make them cultivate and make the 6 realm prosper for him, so he didn't have to fight.
In any case, he was happy living the way he did.
…
In the universe filled with stars in the night a figure sat down on the floor with wine and a book next to a tree that looked like a galaxy.
Her dark blue and purple dress falling on the ground with her hair drooping down.
Her right hand would drink the wine or place her hand to her chin, but she still kept the book in her hand throughout the process.
The title of the book was "dream of the eccentric man and arrogant spider".
One could tell that the title was something that was randomly made up with little to no effort.
However she read it intently and would occasionally smile. This alluring smile would cause countless men to fall to their knees.
"Sister, are you reading that boring old book again? This is the 132nd time you've read it, aren't you bored?"
From behind her was a lady that was the polar opposite to her.
She wore red to pink robes and had a playful smile and innocence on her face which showed her less mature personality.
"Hmm". the woman in purple hummed while being in a world of her own.
"If I would have known I wouldn't have brought it to you after killing those lowly cultivators 1,000 years ago. Now you won't even talk to me, much less play with me." she crossed her arms in an annoyed manner.
"I've lived a long time, there isn't much that I want to do. Just let me enjoy wine and this book."
"If you like it so much, why don't you read the author's other books? He's made 7 of those books including the one you're reading."
With that she closed her book and glared at the girl in pink releasing a little bit of killing intent, "Qiang'er, I was sure that I told you to not mention those books?"
This was pressure that could cause a great immortal to feel great fear.
That's right, this was one of the 8 empresses ruling a part of the 6 realms, hei yue. For some strange reason, all the Emperor Immortals were currently all women and there wasn't a single man amongst them.
To some delusional men, becoming an Immortal Emperor is the first step in becoming a lover of the 8 empresses.
"Leave, don't you have something else to do?"
Casually waving her hand, Qiang Qiu disappeared without being able to make a sound.
She waved her hand again and a mirror of water appeared in front of her.
"I should make my move, I can't let those vixens have any advantage."
The mirror of water started to show an image which formed into a man.
Or rather it was Hao Yu.
