After hearing what Jiang Zhen told him, Zhang Chulan was completely stunned.
"According to what you said, Brother Jiang, after more than a thousand years, the original Angel technology and genes will undergo a massive transformation. Especially after being studied by Karl and the Super God Academy for so long, with countermeasures developed. But when their technology finally appears, they'll suddenly realize they were wrong—all their methods against Angels are useless. Add in your own arrangements on Earth Star, Brother Jiang, and finally, if we add in help from people like us... My god, Earth Star is about to become a chaotic free-for-all! I reckon by then, the Super God Academy, Karl, and the others will be nothing but dumbfounded, completely lost!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen burst into laughter and said, "Kid, your mind works fast! And it's not just that—I'm also trying to change Kaisha's thinking. To gradually shift her Justice Order. Right now, Kaisha has already been swayed by me. In fact, Kaisha had long since noticed her own problems. Especially her Justice Order—it has no small amount of issues. So, through some small changes, I've been constantly adding bits and pieces into the Justice Order. This method of boiling a frog slowly ensures the Justice Order won't collapse, and it can still change its original form. Moreover, Kaisha used her Sacred Knowledge Treasury to calculate the feasibility. Now, I've also passed on the Dao De Jing, Buddhist scriptures, Mohism, the School of Military, and other thoughts from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy to Kaisha. Let her read them bit by bit on her own. I think, with her wisdom, after finishing those texts, she'll be even more shocked. She might even develop other ideas! You see, in the eyes of Angels, our Earth Star is currently in a feudal dynasty era. To them, we're barely above barbarians—just a notch higher at best. But here's the thing: some theories from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy... You know, our great sage Shi Zi was the first to propose the theory of the universe. 'Up, down, left, right, and the four directions are called space; past, present, and future are called time!' This theory alone would absolutely stun Kaisha. After all, in her view, a native coming up with such a concept—how could it not shock her! Then there's Laozi's view of the universe, the embodiment of the Dao—even if placed in a technological world, you can still glean something from it. Even Mozi had a unique understanding of the universe and could even propose ideas about atoms. The terror of these theories—even if placed in the future—they'd be earth-shattering existences. I reckon Kaisha is already dumbfounded by now. Just wait—once Kaisha finishes reading that stuff, I think the original influence of the Super God Academy on the Angels will keep fading. Until a thousand years later, the Angels will form a new ideology. As for the future of the Angels, heh, I suspect that so-called Angel future—they might just abandon it outright!"
Hearing this, Zhang Chulan twitched his mouth and gave Jiang Zhen a thumbs-up, saying, "When it comes to schemes and underhanded tricks, you're the one, Brother Jiang!"
Lu Yu, upon hearing this, curled his lips and said, "Come on, in my little courtyard, time doesn't seem to pass. And I haven't been keeping track of the outside time. Tell me, what's the situation with you all now? Where are the others? All busy?"
Zhang Chulan: "It's fine! Uncle Jiu is in seclusion, trying to break through to the Spirit Refining and Void Return realm. As for Madara Uchiha, ever since he learned from you last time that their natural energy might be Spiritual Qi—a level higher than his Chakra—he hasn't come around much. He came once, saying he's training hard and not to disturb him unless it's important; he wants to recover his full strength. As for Hong Hong of Tushan, she drops by every now and then but leaves quickly. I heard it's because the humans on her side keep causing trouble for her! So, for now, it's just the three of us here?"
Jiang Zhen: "And you two? What's your deal? Not bored with nothing to do?"
Zhang Chulan: "How could that be? Brother Jiang, I've already joined Nadu Tong."
Lu Yu: "You actually joined? Why not go back to Longhu Mountain?"
Zhang Chulan shook his head and said, "I've figured it out. Right now, I'm at the center of a storm. One wrong move, and it'll stir up a huge upheaval. The Old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain is formidable, but he's just one man. Nadu Tong is different—behind it is the state apparatus. If things really kick off, it's guns and artillery coming at you. So, after much thought, Nadu Tong is the better choice. Besides, Nadu Tong is very supportive of my investigation into my grandfather's matters."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhen nodded and said, "Alright, if you feel no problem, then it's settled!
Oh, right, I almost forgot—did you manage to get that thing I asked you to make?
If something comes up, don't say I didn't help you, alright?"
Zhang Chulan grinned upon hearing this and said:
"Brother Jiang, you can rest assured on that one—it's already done. I used top-notch materials.
After entering Nadu Tong this time, I leveraged their resources to get a batch of high-quality jade.
I carved several pieces, so just wait and see.
I reckon it won't be long before I'll need Brother Jiang to lend a hand."
Jiang Zhen: "The Luotian Grand Ceremony is about to start?"
Zhang Chulan's eyes went wide as he said:
"What? Brother Jiang, how did you know?"
Jiang Zhen: "How did I know? Don't forget what I told you before.
Alright, this Luotian Grand Ceremony is no simple affair—it involves some madmen.
And some people testing the waters. In short, once your strength is exposed this time, you'll likely become a target for everyone.
Even with Nadu Tong and the Old Celestial Master backing you, you still lack a sufficiently powerful deterrent.
Don't forget to have me step in a few times—it doesn't have to be during the matches. I think you can handle those on your own.
But if you run into the Ten Elders, especially those two shameless old bastards, don't forget to call me. I'm quite interested in that Fatty Wang, especially in beating up a fat guy."
Zhang Chulan, being sharp-witted, immediately caught the implications in Jiang Zhen's words.
Especially regarding the Wang Family—Zhang Chulan grew wary.
"I understand, Brother Jiang. Thank you!"
Jiang Zhen: "Stop right there. Just focus on your cultivation. If you can reach the Old Celestial Master's level, then honestly, you'd be not far from ascending to immortality.
Your grandmaster—if it weren't for the restrictions of the Celestial Master's lineage, I suspect he might have already learned from Zhang Sanfeng and ascended directly.
It's a pity he was held back by the Celestial Master's Mansion and the Celestial Master's Ordination.
Originally, your grandfather was supposed to inherit the Celestial Master's Ordination, but it fell to the Old Celestial Master instead.
This matter... I really don't know what to say. If the Old Celestial Master hadn't taken on the Celestial Master's Ordination, perhaps the world you live in now
might have already seen an existence on the verge of ascension!"
Hearing this, Zhang Chulan was stunned and looked at Jiang Zhen, saying:
"No way, Brother Jiang, was my never-met grandmaster really that terrifying?"
Jiang Zhen: "Heh, what do you think? Back then, the previous Celestial Master, Zhang Jingqing, wanted to curb Zhang Zhiwei's arrogance so he wouldn't alienate everyone.
So he tried to suppress him, but at that time, on the entire Longhu Mountain, aside from the previous Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing himself, there wasn't a single person who could last a single exchange against him.
I mean a single exchange—no one could withstand even one slap from him.
In the end, Zhang Jingqing had no choice but to take him to visit various sects, but without exception, they all lost. None of those sects' prodigies could hold up.
Later, Zhang Zhiwei even wanted to test his skills against the then Great Abundant Immortal, Zuo Ruotong.
But Zhang Jingqing stopped him. In fact, I suspect Zhang Jingqing held Zhang Zhiwei back
because he was worried Zuo Ruotong might have problems if the fight went too far! After all, Zuo Ruotong's cultivation had flaws.
Anyway, just remember this: your grandmaster, whose Daoist title is Heavenly Path Daoist—that 'Heavenly Path' is well-earned.
It was earned slap by slap. Even those so-called Eight Wonders? Hah, they're nothing but clever tricks.
Even if you put them in front of Zhang Zhiwei, he probably wouldn't even glance at them!"
"Tsk... that terrifying... but speaking of which, who is Zuo Ruotong?"
Jiang Zhen: "Go look it up yourself. Nadu Tong definitely has records!"
