The great dao rippled; a phenomenon covered the sky. The phenomenon alarmed the principal and the many elders. When they discovered that it was Xiang Shaoyun preaching the dao, they were incomparably shocked.
Any Saint was qualified to preach the dao, but someone capable of evoking a phenomenon was most definitely an absolute genius. Generally, one could only evoke such a phenomenon after becoming a God.
Xiang Shaoyun was only a second-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator yet was capable of doing so. He truly was worthy of being ranked first on the Saintly Forest Ranking.
Looks like summoning this kid back was a wise choice, thought the principal as he rejoiced at his choice.
Even Xiang Shaoyun himself was completely immersed in the lecture. Only after one day and one night did he wake up from the reverie. When he woke up, the first thing he saw was the numerous geniuses in contemplation with their eyes shut. Not one of them was awake, and everyone was radiating a different light that represented the energy they cultivated. It was obvious these disciples were in deep contemplation.
“Resonance of the great dao? Looks like I need to find some time to preach the dao at the Ziling Sect as well,” muttered Xiang Shaoyun to himself.
Through the lecture, he had rearranged many of his thoughts and comprehended many crucial concepts of cultivation. His understanding of the gravekeeper elder’s teachings had also deepened considerably.
He noiselessly left the restaurant, not disturbing the disciples deep in contemplation. Only when they woke up did they realize that he had left.
“Thank you, overlord, for the lecture,” said someone as he bowed respectfully to Xiang Shaoyun’s empty seat.
“Thank you, overlord, for the lecture.”
“Thank you, overlord, for the lecture.”
Everyone thanked Xiang Shaoyun sincerely. Xiang Shaoyun was someone who cultivated nine different energies. Thus, his lecture on the different daos had benefited everyone. After this lecture, they only needed a single secluded cultivation session to greatly improve themselves. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun was more than qualified to receive their gratitude.
Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun had already arrived at the residence the academy had given him. At present, the residence was still empty. With his status in the academy, he could recruit 10 attendants to serve him, but since he was too busy to do it, he went straight into the cultivation room. He, too, needed to meditate on his gains from the lecture.
After seven days, he ended the cultivation session. Through the session, he reached the peak second-stage Heaven Battling Realm, further enhancing the sense of mystery around him.
“Time to go visit the high priest at the City of Light,” muttered Xiang Shaoyun to himself as he headed toward the teleportation formation connected to the City of Light.
When he reached the formation, the overseer in charge of it hurriedly greeted him, “Greetings, Elder Xiang.”
“Be at ease. I’m heading to the City of Light,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
“Elder, I’m afraid that isn’t possible. The City of Light is refusing all visits from our academy. The moment a visitor is discovered, the visitor will be expelled from the city. Even the principal himself had tried negotiating an agreement to no avail,” said the overseer.
“Don’t worry. Just activate the formation,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
The City of Light might be a forbidden zone for anyone else but not for Xiang Shaoyun. He would have been the Envoy of Light for nothing, otherwise.

“Elder Xiang—”
The overseer wanted to continue persuading Xiang Shaoyun, but Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand and said, “I already told the principal about this. I’m tasked to improve relations between the two parties. Just activate the formation.”
The overseer did not dare to say anything else and hurriedly activated the formation. Then, Xiang Shaoyun stepped into the formation and vanished. He appeared in the City of Light.
“Who dares to intrude upon the City of Light?” roared an angel.
“He must be a Dragon Phoenix Academy disciple. Kick him out immediately!” said a different angel.
“Has everyone forgotten me?” said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile. Looking at the angels around him, he lit up with his Light of Wisdom, and it enveloped him in a pure brilliance that made him seem like an angel.
The angels around him were slightly stunned before they respectfully said, “Greetings, Envoy of Light.”
Xiang Shaoyun had gone through the appointment ceremony in the city long ago. His appearance had also been etched into the mind of all the angels. Thus, it wasn’t surprising that these angels recognized him.
“Be at ease. I’m going to meet the high priest,” said Xiang Shaoyun before heading toward the Castle of Light.
The angels were a kind race with no evil in their hearts. Being in the city, Xiang Shaoyun could feel the light energy enveloping his body, causing him to start longing for justice.
Before long, he reached the castle. He could sense a considerable number of four-winged angels guarding it. In fact, he could even sense the existence of six-winged and eight-winged angels. These angels had to have existed before, but he had been too weak to notice them.
“Greetings, Envoy of Light,” the angels greeted Xiang Shaoyun upon seeing him.
After exchanging some pleasantries with them, he had someone inform the high priest of his arrival. Soon, the high priest called Xiang Shaoyun in. Entering the castle, Xiang Shaoyun sensed a thick light energy enveloping his body. His Light of Wisdom flickered and fused with the light energy, further enhancing his comprehension speed.
The Light of Wisdom had always been an ability only the Envoy of Light could have. Only one among many could give rise to such an ability. As for Xiang Shaoyun, this was also an ability he had only obtained by visiting the angels. Not only could the Light of Wisdom increase one’s comprehension speed, but it also had some other unique functions that were awaiting Xiang Shaoyun’s exploration.
“Greetings, high priest,” said Xiang Shaoyun respectfully toward the old angel standing before him.
The high priest was practically the patriarch of the angels. As a God, he was far stronger than the average angel.
“You’re finally here. If you had taken any longer, there would have been no way to solve our calamity,” said the high priest.
“What do you mean, high priest?” asked Xiang Shaoyun in astonishment.
“I can sense a terrifying evil approaching the City of Light. That evil is so powerful that not even I can stop it. You are the only one who can save the angels,” said the high priest solemnly.
“High priest, is there anything I can do? I won’t hesitate to help!” said Xiang Shaoyun.
“You’re planning to create a teleportation formation to connect the City of Light and the Ziling Sect, right? Do it immediately. I must ensure that the angels have a safe place to retreat to before the danger descends,” said the high priest.
Xiang Shaoyun nodded and said, “I’ll get started!”
