The Urban Cultivation Grandmaster

Chapter 41: This Time, We’ll Change the World!

October 12th—an auspicious day for travel and enrollment. Whenever Master Mu gave a lecture, the grand auditorium at Tianjiang Cultivator Academy was always packed to the brim. Even if students hadn’t been selected to enter the auditorium and listen in person, they still couldn’t help but gather at the entrance to watch from afar. The students lucky enough to secure a spot were especially excited today—not only would they get to hear Master Mu teach the Daowen text in person, but they’d also be able to see and observe up close the incredibly adorable little Black Bear. Just thinking about it made them thrilled. Amid the attention of the crowd, Mu Tian appeared. He was dressed in his usual simple attire, with a lazy, adorably cute little bear slung over his back, and, as always, his ever-present apprentice tagging along. Just as all the students had anticipated, it all unfolded. Mu Tian’s perception was keen; with his extremely powerful spiritual sense, he could easily discern the changes in those around him. The gazes directed at him were, eight or nine times out of ten, focused on the little guy behind him. What can you do? Cuteness is justice, after all. “Good thing I came prepared today. Otherwise, Xiao Hei would’ve stolen all the spotlight—how would I teach my class? How would I earn Star Sea Radiance? How would I analyze the cultivation techniques?” Mu Tian thought to himself. Without giving it another thought, he walked straight into the grand hall. Mu Tian was always the last to arrive at the auditorium. It wasn’t that he was arrogant enough to be late; it was simply that the students arrived so early that there was no such thing as “on time.” So, basically, as soon as Mu Tian arrived, the class could begin. Mu Tian stood on the podium, and the students below gazed at him intently—or, to be precise, at the little Black Bear behind him, acting cute. The little Black Bear seemed to be having a blast, attracting even more attention and stealing the spotlight from Mu Tian. It couldn’t get enough of this, so it kept acting cute, causing the girls in the audience to squeal with delight. Yang Chun’s livestream was also filled with discussions about the little black bear. It seemed as though this was no longer Professor Mu’s class but had instead turned into a concert for the little black bear. From the live audience to netizens from all over the world, everyone had become a fan of the little black bear. Today, Mu Tian stood on stage without lecturing as he usually did; he simply stood there quietly, and only then did the auditorium fall silent. Mu Tian’s unusual behavior instantly silenced the crowd. Everyone present was an adult, not an elementary school student; they understood very clearly the importance of knowledge in this era. Faced with a brand-new civilization emerging out of nowhere, anyone with even a modicum of awareness would seize every opportunity to learn. One moment of inattention, and you’ll be left behind by this rapidly evolving era. To have someone impart knowledge to you without reservation, guiding you toward the gateway to the world of cultivators—how rare a thing that is in this era. Consequently, the crowd’s smiles faded in an instant, and they grew serious, taking on the demeanor of well-behaved students ready to pay close attention. Mu Tian, however, smiled gently and sighed, saying, “As it turns out, my good looks aren’t enough to attract everyone. I’d never had any doubts like this before, but ever since I brought Xiao Hei to class last time, my heart has been deeply wounded!” Mu Tian’s humorous self-praise and self-deprecating opening instantly dispelled the tense atmosphere, and quite a few students chuckled softly. “Haha! Teacher Mu is still so funny! 66666” “What? My Chinese isn’t very good—I didn’t catch what Teacher Mu meant. Can someone translate that for me?” “Why are they all laughing? What did Teacher Mu say? Oh my gosh, I really regret not learning Huaxia. I’m definitely not going to understand the rest of the class.” “I could’ve chosen to watch the instructional video with subtitles later, but I still opted for the live stream… though… it’s really painful.” Seeing that everyone’s attention had returned to him, Mu Tian seized the moment and launched into a lesson that would change the world and shock the world. Right in the center of the lectern, seven massive Huaxia characters appeared on the huge projector screen. “Ancient Wild Ox Visualization Diagram!” Instantly, the entire hall erupted in gasps. The live stream’s comment feed was scrolling wildly, densely packed; if the comments hadn’t been filtered, the screen would likely have been a solid black mass of scrolling text. “666666” “What am I seeing?” “No way—could Teacher Mu be about to...” “Oh my God! What do those Huaxia characters on the projector mean? Why are you all so excited?” A cultivation technique!!! Everyone who recognized the Huaxia characters felt a jolt of excitement. What Mu Tian had projected onto the screen was the name of a cultivation technique—the Ancient Wild Ox Visualization Diagram, one of the most popular cultivation techniques at Tianhai Cultivator Academy and throughout the vast Jiangnan region. At the same time, the Ancient Wild Ox Visualization Diagram was also one of the most renowned cultivation techniques in Huaxia, with countless practitioners. For many gifted cultivators, their very first encounter with cultivation was the Wild Ox Stele located at Tianhai Cultivator Academy. Now, Mu Tian had actually revealed the *Ancient Wild Ox Visualization Diagram*—could it be... could it be? Everyone held their breath, gazing at Mu Tian with eager anticipation, hoping to hear from him the thrilling news that would send them into a frenzy. Mu Tian didn’t keep them in suspense. Smiling, he said, “As you’ve all seen, these seven characters are likely familiar to many of you. That’s right—it’s the widely circulated cultivation technique known as the Ancient Wild Ox Visualization Diagram. That will be the focus of our lesson today!” As soon as Mu Tian finished speaking, an image of a Wild Ox appeared—its head reaching toward the heavens and its hooves planted firmly on the earth. The Ox’s body was covered in a dense network of Daowen inscriptions, complex and profound, yet radiating an air of mystery. The next moment, the entire hall erupted in excitement. It’s real! Their speculation had actually come true—Master Mu was really teaching them a cultivation technique!!! Oh my God! Am I seeing this right?! Everyone went wild. In this day and age, sharing knowledge seems to be becoming more and more popular, but it’s always just on a superficial level. After all, humans are selfish creatures—when it comes to high-level, cutting-edge knowledge, it’s naturally better to keep it to oneself. It’s simply impossible to act like Lei Feng and teach others for free. In this era, the most advanced knowledge is, of course, cultivation techniques. Ordinary people with average cultivation talent find it difficult to become cultivators—not only because everyone jealously guards their own secrets, but also because teaching cultivation techniques presents a massive challenge. After all, the first generation of cultivation practitioners received their teachings through direct transmission—they couldn’t even fully grasp the techniques themselves, let alone teach them effectively to disciples. Instruction was typically limited to verbal guidance and personal demonstration—an elite-style education—and there has never been a precedent for the large-scale dissemination of cultivation techniques. But all of that is about to change. “This is the manual for the Ancient Wild Ox Visualization Diagram. Today, I will explain in detail the meaning of all the Daowen inscriptions on the diagram, as well as the key points and challenges of cultivating this practice...” Mu Tian’s words were, without a doubt, a direct message to everyone: “Sit down and listen carefully—I’m about to teach you the cultivation technique you’ve all been dreaming of.” All the students watching Mu Tian’s lecture erupted in excitement, their hearts racing. Cultivate the technique, become a cultivator, and roam the world with power and freedom. These twelve words were undoubtedly the dream of an entire era, and at that moment, they saw the dawn of hope. Little Black Bear stared blankly at the students below, who were going wild. No matter how cute he tried to act, no one’s gaze strayed from Mu Tian—not even the young ladies who had once had stars in their eyes. The little black bear didn’t understand, but Mu Tian’s actions were about to rewrite the course of the entire world! This moment would change the world!
