Chapter 610: Mutual Suspicion, Luo Tian Disappears

She intended to conduct a final, comprehensive integration of Lin Yu’s most core and astonishing Immortal Emperor realm insights after he saved them into the optical computer.

She wanted to use the top-tier insights from this new generation of different cosmic rules to hone her Immortal Emperor foundation to an unprecedented, perfect state.

To forge a true “Supreme Dao Foundation”!

Only then could she go further, possess greater potential, and become stronger when she stepped into the Undying realm and even the Immortal realm in the future!

Her ultimate goal should be to challenge a significant list, known only to a few, before leaving Dawn City—

The “Potential Rankings” beneath the main rankings!

This list is one of the most important internal indicators for measuring a disciple's future likelihood of achieving Immortality.

It does not consider current combat power rankings, only potential, foundation, compatibility with the Great Dao, and future growth prospects.

There are only fifty people on the list.

This list directly relates to the starting position and the basic Immortal resource allocation one receives after entering the Chaos Battleship!

This is almost a crucial step that determines how high one can rise within the Star Dao Academy system in the future!

Tang Yue had endured until now precisely for this final push.

As for Gao Yunzhou…

Ye Chu’s gaze lingered on his seemingly decadent figure for a moment, his mind filled with doubts.

This Senior Brother was truly unfathomable.

On the surface, Gao Yunzhou was the “most tragic” of the three.

He had reached the peak Immortal Emperor realm over ten thousand years ago, hailed as invincible below the Undying realm, and even capable of suppressing cultivators who had just entered the Undying realm.

However, his cultivation seemed to be forever frozen at that moment, remaining unchanged for over ten thousand years.

To outsiders, this was a typical case of “straying from the Great Dao,” with potential exhausted and his cultivation ruined.

Even he himself often self-mocked, saying his “path ahead was cut off.”

But Ye Chu didn't believe it!

His almost instinctive intuition, along with some subtle clues, all told him that Gao Yunzhou was faking it!

He was deliberately hiding something!

His combat power, “invincible below the Undying realm,” did not resemble that of someone who had “strayed from their path” or “exhausted their potential.”

It was a manifestation of an incredibly profound foundation and an extremely meticulous control over power.

His calmness was not decadence; it was more like… a dormancy!

A waiting! Even a… self-sealing!

What made Ye Chu even more vigilant was that his unofficial sources told him that as soon as the news of Lin Yu's arrival in Dawn City spread, this “long-disheartened” Senior Brother Gao actually, uncharacteristically, sought out his ‘unofficial sources’ to inquire about Lin Yu's information!

Would someone who claimed to have no interest in newcomers and whose path was cut off secretly inquire about a newcomer's background?

Ye Chu sneered inwardly.

His Senior Brother Gao was definitely brewing something.

He could see through Tang Yue, but he couldn't understand Gao Yunzhou at all!

“Sigh!”

Ye Chu put down his wine cup, sighed, and deliberately spoke in a somewhat teasing tone: “It seems I’ve been meddlesome. Since both Senior Brother and Senior Sister are so detached, it makes me, this Junior Brother, seem too narrow-minded and impatient.”

“So be it. Whether Lin Yu is a dragon or a worm, a blessing or a curse, let him stir up the winds and clouds himself. I just hope he doesn't cause too much trouble, disturb Senior Sister's peaceful dreams, or spoil Senior Brother's enjoyment of wine.”

At present, it was impossible for him to obtain any useful information from the two of them.

If he weren't also intelligent, he might have truly been fooled by their emotional speeches.

Tang Yue laughed heartily, refilling her cup: “Don’t worry, as long as he doesn’t tear down my ‘Moon-Embracing Abode,’ let him cause whatever trouble he wants! Come, let’s drink, let’s drink!”

Gao Yunzhou also raised his cup, smiling gently without speaking, but in the depths of his profound eyes, a faint glimmer seemed to flash and disappear.

On the peak platform, the sea of clouds still surged, and the three raised their cups, each with their own thoughts.

Lin Yu’s arrival was like a pebble dropped into a calm deep pool; though it didn't stir up monstrous waves, ripples had quietly spread.

It heralded that the inner district of Dawn City would no longer be peaceful.

......

A month passed quietly.

During this month, Lin Yu did not rush to enter the Dawn Tower, which symbolized the core of the Star Dao Academy.

Instead, he walked through various corners of the inner district.

He was not aimless but walked with a purpose.

Firstly, to familiarize himself with the environment here.

After all, it was an unfamiliar place, and understanding the environment here was very necessary.

However, what surprised him somewhat was that Luo Tian was not in his courtyard, and he had completely disappeared for a month, no one knew where he had gone.

Of course, Luo Tian was not his main focus; as long as he was in the inner city, that guy couldn't escape.

It was very likely that he had realized something and was hiding.

His main focus was still on the Kings of Fortune from various generations gathered here.

He used the system’s function to search for Fortune Bearers, like an invisible radar, meticulously capturing the information of every person in this elite-gathering place.

At the same time, he was also verifying the intelligence he had obtained from Zhao Mo, comparing the information in the jade slip with the reality of the situation one by one.

The results were startling and exhilarating.

There were over two hundred and fifty people currently in the inner district, each of whom had once been a King of Fortune dominating a universe.

Even after leaving the protection of their native universe’s Heavenly Dao, their accumulated Fortune Value remained vast and immense.

The data feedback from the system scan was very shocking—

Even the one with the lowest Fortune Value had over seven hundred billion Fortune Points!

This was a terrifying number, a testament to the essence of countless universes converging.

Over two hundred people, if added together, would be more than two quadrillion, an absolutely explosive number.

If this number could all be converted into cultivation points, given enough time, he could advance to a level that would make the entire Star Dao Academy tremble.

However, these numbers also concealed some of the Star Dao Academy's cruelty.

The number of prodigies recruited by the Star Dao Academy over the years actually far exceeded this; over thirty thousand years, the dangerous missions in the Chaos Sea and the endless grudges between fellow cultivators had already silenced many names forever.

The inner city was not a greenhouse.

Although internal strife was not allowed within the city, if a life-and-death feud was formed, a deathmatch could be held in a minor world; once inside, they were not allowed to leave unless one party perished.

This also led to the reduction of the original number of over three hundred people to the current two hundred-plus.

The mortality rate was close to one-third, which was still very high.

However, within this month, the system had not detected the top three Top of the list of the Star Rankings sub-rankings from previous generations—Tang Yue, Gao Yunzhou, and Ye Chu.

This indicated that these three were either not in Dawn City or had entered some minor world.

It was perfectly normal for people here to possess a minor world.

Each of them was a powerful individual; how could they not have some foundation?

After a month, he had basically familiarized himself with the entire inner city.

Therefore, he came to the Dawn Tower, which was so tempting to him.
