Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

"This teahouse is much more luxurious than when I came here before, and it even has a starry sky projection... Not bad, it seems that the development of the heavens has been quite good in the past five thousand years, and there has been progress in people's livelihood projects."

This teahouse was there when he came before, and it's still there now.

As expected of a cultivation world, even ancient shops with a history of ten thousand years are quite common.

His divine sense swept across the entire Star Pass without leaving a trace, instantly capturing countless details.

"Tsk, is that the latest Moonbeam Hairpin that the little demon girl over there is wearing? I heard from Little Gray that it costs 20,000 catties of Origin to exchange for one... Young people these days have such high spending power, much more extravagant than I was back then."

Back then, he worked incredibly hard for even a little bit of energy.

Jiang Hao took another sip of the so-called Enlightenment Tea.

"But this tea... is it a rip-off? It has 30% of calming herbs mixed in with the tea leaves, so it has a vague calming effect, and they're just passing it off as enlightenment tea? And they're selling it for such a high price, it's a total rip-off, bad review."

Jiang Hao felt like he was checking out a trendy online shop when he drank this tea; it was expensive but had no other special features.

He secretly whispered to the gray-robed Daoist boy behind him, complaining, "Little Gray, did you see that? This lousy tea is far superior to any of the Enlightenment Tea leaves we borrowed from the Forbidden Zone back then. Even just a few crumbs would make a hundred times better tea."

Hmm, speaking of Enlightenment Tea, has it grown again? I should borrow some more when the time comes.

The gray-robed Daoist boy was an incarnation of the Chaos Heavenly Blade Deity. He suppressed a laugh and replied telepathically:

"Your Majesty, you are now playing the role of a down-on-his-luck passerby, so you must hide your wealth well and not give yourself away."

"Okay, okay, I get it, just some random passerby."

As a time traveler, no one knows better than him how to pretend to be an ordinary passerby.

After the heated discussion in the teahouse subsided slightly, an elderly man with white hair and beard kept glancing at Jiang Hao.

His Taoist name is White-Browed Immortal. He is a human saint who has been famous for many years. He is highly respected and has mastered a rare art of observing qi. Although it has no offensive function, it is good at observing the foundation of a person's qi and fortune.

Master Bai Mei had just sensed something unusual about the gray-robed old man in the corner. When his Qi Observation Technique was applied to the man, it was like throwing a mud ox into the sea; he couldn't see anything at all, as if the man were just an ordinary cultivator.

There are only two possibilities in this situation: either the opponent is indeed ordinary, or the opponent is very strong, exceeding his ability.

After a moment's hesitation, Master Bai Mei stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Jiang Hao, and spoke in a gentle voice:

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. I observe that you sit here alone, your demeanor composed and serene. Right now, everyone in the building is discussing the earth-shattering battle between the Little War Emperor and the Little Chaos in three days. With your discerning eye, what are your thoughts on this battle?"

brush!

For a moment, most of the eyes in the teahouse were focused on Jiang Hao in the corner.

Master Bai Mei was quite famous because of his abilities, and everyone looked over immediately upon hearing him say this.

Jiang Hao paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup.

In my heart I thought:

"Here it comes, the classic scene—what do you think, sir?"

"According to the standard formula of online novels, I should smile slightly, utter a few arrogant words with an air of profound mystery, wait for some ignorant brat to come up and provoke me, then shake my body with an aura of dominance, and complete a perfect show of bravado and slap in the face..."

Jiang Hao felt a little amused.

Before he attained enlightenment, he swept through everything in his path, crushing so-called geniuses and suppressing old monsters enough to fill an entire starry sea. He was already tired of showing off and slapping people in the face.

Now... let's just be a fun-loving person, watch the show, and offer a couple of comments.

He slowly put down his teacup, cleared his throat, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Thank you for your inquiry, fellow Daoist. I am but a recluse with limited knowledge, and I will speak humbly. Please bear with me."

"Little War Emperor...the outstanding successor of the Fighting Saint Ape clan in this generation."

Jiang Hao thought to himself, "This is my good friend's nephew. I even held this little guy when I went to the Battle Saint Ape Ancestral Star before."

He even peed all over himself, and I heard he was sealed away afterward.

"Judging from his record on the ancient road, he certainly has the style of his father. When he was in the Saint Realm, he encountered a stone demon at the twentieth level and fought it, winning a great victory."

Speaking of this, Jiang Hao was somewhat speechless. That stone demon was something he had casually created when he passed through a certain forbidden area and found it interesting.

I wanted to see how far it could go, but this brat smashed it to pieces with a stick... Oh well, it's not appropriate for elders to interfere in kids' fights.

"When he reached the Saint King Realm, he was able to defeat opponents who had just entered the Great Saint Realm. Although he did not win, he was able to retreat unscathed. His Battle Saint Techniques had already begun to show promise."

"From the battle footage I have seen, his fighting spirit is pure and unwavering. He has already grasped about seven-tenths of the true meaning of the Battle Emperor's battle and the essence of the Battle Saint Venerable's battle against heaven and earth."

Jiang Hao paused for a moment before giving his assessment: "His foundation is decent, and his temperament is good. He might be able to catch up with his uncle's level when he was young."

"Not bad? Just not bad?" The white-browed master was stunned, and the people around him looked at each other in bewilderment.

In this person's words, the Little War Emperor was merely "acceptable," or "not bad? Perhaps he could even catch up to the Fighting Saint Venerable in his youth?"

Someone couldn't help but mutter under their breath, "Isn't this old man being a bit too arrogant? The Little War Emperor is one of the top figures of this era!"

Everyone nodded in agreement; the Little War Emperor's strength was universally acknowledged, and it wasn't just hype.

But in this old man's words, it was just "not bad"?

That's too much of a boast! The Little War Emperor is only "not bad," so what about those who are far below the Little Immortal Emperor?

Is it useless?

Master Bai Mei was extremely well-mannered. Although he also felt that the old man's tone was a bit arrogant, he suppressed his surprise and pressed for an answer:

"Then, in your opinion, what about the Battle Saint Venerable...?"

Jiang Hao's mind flashed back to that golden-haired, irritable, and belligerent monkey.

This monkey fought on despite repeated defeats, yet it remained determined to fight.

He thought to himself, "Dou Zhan is quite strong. He really has the potential to become an emperor, not just something he's bragging about."

Unfortunately, I was born at the wrong time and met myself...

It's not that he's not powerful enough, it's just that I'm way too overpowered. He decided to give his old friend some face and pondered, "Battle Saint Venerable... hmm, that's pretty impressive."

The teahouse fell silent for a moment, then a chorus of suppressed gasps and strange looks filled the air.

Just a little impressive?

That's the Battle Saint Venerable, one of the strongest beings in the world, a quasi-emperor at the peak, who suppressed an era without any rivals, except for the Chaos Emperor.

But in this old man's eyes, such a powerful person was only "somewhat powerful"?

Many people's lips twitched, realizing that the old man wasn't just hiding his true abilities.

He's gone mad; he's become excessively superstitious.

Master Bai Mei also felt that this evaluation was too arrogant, but he intuitively felt that the other party was not just talking nonsense.

Because the other party's analysis was logical and well-founded, not like that of a madman, and that calm demeanor emanating from within was genuine.

He steadied himself and asked the most crucial question: "What about Little Chaos Chu Changge? What are your thoughts, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Hao's expression became slightly more serious.

"Little Chaos Chu Changge..."

Although Jiang Hao had never met this junior of the Dao Seeking Sect in person, he had heard the name many times after leaving seclusion.

Moreover, by cultivating his own "Chaos Scripture," he was able to forge a new path, which can be considered a destiny for him.

As a senior colleague, it's perfectly reasonable for me to offer my evaluation, right?
