127: Chapter 127 Entering the Ancestral Land

This should have been a massive Opportunity worth rejoicing over.

But as Su Yu looked at the file in his hand, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Because this file contained neither a map of the terrain of the Ancestral Land nor any intelligence regarding treasures.

On it, only five passport-style photos of students and five names were coldly printed.

"Instructor... who are the people on this file?" Su Yu asked, looking up in confusion.

Just then!

"After entering the Ancestral Land, you need to pay close attention to these five people."

An extremely aged voice rang out beside Su Yu without warning!

The hair on Su Yu's body stood on end, and his heart constricted violently!

With his current Divine Thought at the Star Lord level, he hadn't detected the presence of a third person in this enclosed office besides Du Dong at all!

He whipped his head around to look.

In the shadows of the office corner, the Void Realm rippled slightly.

An old man wearing a simple grey robe slowly manifested, as if stepping out from a painting.

Su Yu recognized this old man at a glance!

This was the very Vice President of Aolan Academy from the fourth-year graduation ceremony! A genuine, powerful expert of the Domain Lord Realm!

"Vice President!"

A tempest raged in Su Yu's heart; he immediately lowered his head, cupped his hands, and performed a respectful bow as a Junior.

"There is no need for such formalities."

The Vice President walked over to Su Yu.

His eyes, which seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of the Universe, gazed quietly at Su Yu, his tone calm yet unquestionable: "Your primary task is to secretly observe these five people on the file and see if they have any... unusual behavior inside the Ancestral Land."

"Unusual?" Su Yu looked directly into the Vice President's eyes, suppressing the doubt in his heart: "This student dares to ask, since the Vice President has detected that they have problems, why not conduct an investigation directly within the Academy?"

A dignified Domain Lord expert had actually appeared in person to order a Martial Saint to monitor several students of the same level?

This was too bizarre!

The Vice President looked deeply at Su Yu, seemingly seeing through the shock and suspicion in his heart.

"Some things are not as simple as you think."

The Vice President shook his head slightly, his tone revealing a trace of rare gravity and apprehension: "The background and identity of these five people are not simple, and they have been guaranteed by the Advanced level of the Federation. If there is no conclusive evidence within the Academy, even I cannot casually investigate the Seeds."

"Moreover, if we alert them, it will only ruin the plan of playing the long game to catch a big fish."

The Vice President patted Su Yu on the shoulder.

"If there is any abnormality, report it to me."

Having said that.

He didn't even wait for Su Yu to answer.

The Vice President's figure, like a reflection in a mirror or the moon in water, completely Dissipated in a breeze, as if he had never appeared.

The office returned to a deathly silence.

Su Yu clutched the thin file in his hand, looking at the five seemingly ordinary faces on it.

This trip to the Ancestral Land was likely not as simple as he had imagined!

"Go and prepare." Du Dong looked at Su Yu, his eyes complex, and sighed heavily: "Ensure your own safety."

Half a month later.

In the heart of the Aolan Star Sector, there was a stellar System plagued by violent solar storms all year round.

A super red giant star, hundreds of times larger than the sun, was frantically emitting extreme high temperatures and blinding light capable of melting ordinary star-meteorite alloys.

And on a safe orbit not far from this star.

Thousands of heavy interstellar warships and luxurious private starships were docked!

The appearance of the Ancestral Land this time had completely ignited the entire Aolan Star Sector!

Those who could stand here were, without exception, top-tier major forces, Hidden Families whose Legacy had spanned tens of thousands of years in the Star Domain, and hegemonic giants like Aolan Academy!

They brought the most brilliant Martial Saint level Geniuses from their respective forces, attempting to get a share of the feast of ancient fortune.

Inside the bridge of the dark gold flagship exclusive to Aolan Academy.

Hundreds of Genius Seeds, wearing the Academy badge on their chests, were standing in neat rows.

"This trip to the Ancestral Land is not only an Opportunity, but also a Shura field where the chances of survival are slim!"

At the very front of the formation, a middle-aged man whose cultivation had reached the Star Emperor Realm was making the final pre-battle mobilization: "After entering..."

The middle-aged man's voice was impassioned.

But Su Yu, standing in the middle of the formation, turned a deaf ear to these clichés.

His gaze, time and again, swept from the corner of his eye toward that corner at the very back of the formation.

There, five figures stood side by side.

Three men and two women.

These were the five targets that the Vice President had asked him to monitor closely!

"No abnormalities."

Su Yu calculated inwardly.

During the time the starship was traveling, he had used his Divine Thought to carefully investigate these five people.

Everything was normal.

Even their interactions with each other and their living habits were no different from ordinary Academy Geniuses; they even appeared more low-key than the average person.

Su Yu's brows furrowed imperceptibly.

This kind of flawlessness was in itself the biggest flaw!

There must be a problem!

"Forget it, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. After entering the Ancestral Land, I will find another Opportunity to test them." Su Yu withdrew his gaze, suppressing the clouds of doubt in his heart.

Rumble!!!

Just then.

The super star outside the porthole, which had been burning violently, suddenly underwent a drastic mutation!

The sea of fire on the surface of the star suddenly rolled crazily to both sides, and a brilliant, gorgeous beam of light shot out directly from the depths of the star's core!

This beam of light rapidly intertwined and reorganized in space, and finally, above the star's high-temperature corona, it forcibly opened a huge space portal that was ten thousand feet high and exuded a thick, ancient, and vast aura!

The entrance to the Ancestral Land, opened!

In an instant, the cabin doors of thousands of starships parked in orbit opened simultaneously.

Countless streams of light of various colors, like a meteor shower flying against the sky, rushed out of the starships in dense swarms, braving the star's terrifying radiation and high temperature, and frantically fled towards that huge portal without looking back!

...

After a strong sense of spatial pulling, the light before his eyes instantly Dissipated.

As far as the eye could see, there was only an endless, dark yellow desert exuding deathly silence and desolation.

The sky presented a sickly dim yellow color, and two dim suns hung in the sky, emitting pale halos.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Five consecutive dull thuds of landing sounded.

Those five targets that Su Yu had been secretly monitoring landed on this sand dune almost at the same time.

As soon as they landed, they stood back-to-back in a tight defensive formation with extreme tacit understanding, their eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, their movements extremely professional.

However, the very next second after they confirmed there was nothing unusual around them.

"Boom!"

On a sand dune less than a hundred meters away from them.

A figure slammed down heavily, kicking up dust all over the sky.

The dust cleared.

Su Yu, wearing the Aolan Academy uniform, slowly straightened his body.

When he saw the five people, Su Yu's heart jolted, but he did not show any abnormality on his face.

A hundred meters away, the gazes of those five people locked onto Su Yu in unison.

The atmosphere became somewhat subtle at this moment.
