633: Chapter 633: The foundation of the alliance of the four major colleges, Lingjun's shocking words
When the two women saw Lin Yu, joy flashed in their eyes, but they were immediately startled by the unyielding solemnity on his brows.
"Husband, what happened?"
Li Ti spoke first, her tone filled with concern and a hint of imperceptible sharpness; she sensed Lin Yu's unease.
This was the first time she had seen Lin Yu display such an expression.
Ling Yun's beautiful eyes were also filled with worry, and she softly echoed:
"Yes, Husband, your complexion is very poor."
Although neither of them had yet physically consummated their relationship with Lin Yu, their affection levels had long reached maximum, and both already considered themselves Lin Yu's women.
Because almost all the women in Lin Yu's Inner World were his confidantes.
Lin Yu looked at the two women before him, his most trusted and most knowledgeable companions, and without any reservation, he recounted everything that had happened outside: his killings, Qing Xuan's reaction, and the most unsettling speculation deep within him—
the possibility that the Four Great Academies might use his external relatives and old friends as hostages, and even the possibility that the Four Great Academies might have already joined forces to set up a deadly trap.
"...That's the situation. The Dao Academy's permissiveness makes me uneasy; it's definitely not a good omen. We must anticipate the worst-case scenario and find a way to deal with it, otherwise, once it happens, I will be very passive."
Lin Yu's voice was low, carrying an unprecedented sense of urgency.
After listening, the two women's faces paled. They had been cultivating diligently in this world, and although they knew Lin Yu was striving outside, they hadn't expected him to have done such an earth-shattering thing, nor to be facing such a terrifying potential crisis.
Pain and anger flashed in Li Ti's eyes, a mix of worry for Lin Yu's predicament and indignation at the despicable methods the Four Great Academies might employ.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down:
"Husband, the Four Great Academies... are indeed capable of such things. The Eternal Old Man suffered a similar loss back then..."
She began to meticulously recount all the information she knew about the Four Great Academies, hoping Lin Yu could find their weaknesses, even if she didn't have specific solutions.
Ling Yun, on the other hand, frowned deeply, lost in thought, seemingly recalling and weighing something.
Lin Yu listened intently, rapidly processing the vast amount of information Li Ti provided.
Although the information was fragmented, he still summarized some useful details.
Among the Four Great Academies, the Star Dao Academy was the most comprehensive, with its core being the light brain. The light brain collected countless Great Daos, and he also learned that the other three academies had branches of the light brain, and their insights into the Great Dao would ultimately be uploaded to the light brain.
This also made him understand why there were so many Great Dao light clusters within the light brain; they even shared such critical information.
As for the other three academies: the Mountain River Battle Academy had the strongest combat power, primarily cultivating the Great Dao of Force, and was said to have a half-step Undying Realm existence that kept the current Eternal Old Man completely restricted.
The Flame Sea Spirit Academy was strongest in formations, reportedly having created a super battle formation composed entirely of Undying Realm powerhouses. Once trapped inside, no one could escape.
The first time the Eternal Old Man was trapped and his divine soul shattered was by the Flame Sea Spirit Academy.
Then there was the Heavenly Dome Law Academy, which primarily cultivated the Five Elements Great Dao, having researched the Five Elements to a state of perfection.
The Dao Seed Star Regions that were brought out every ten thousand years were actually created by them based on their research of the Five Elements.
In fact, the greatest credit for the Four Great Academies being able to open up a world in the Chaos Sea and establish their main academy belonged to the Heavenly Dome Law Academy.
They could even decompose Chaos Qi using the Five Elements, and then the Flame Sea Spirit Academy would use formations to isolate their habitat. Otherwise, prolonged exposure to the Chaos Qi in the Chaos Sea would not be beneficial.
The Four Great Academies each had their strengths, complementing each other's weaknesses, and could even instantly link up through mysterious formations. If one faced difficulty, the other three would provide support, forming a terrifying, almost impregnable alliance.
Even a powerhouse like the Eternal Old Man, who once sought to rule the Chaos Sea, was ultimately defeated by this alliance and forced to hide and develop.
Even his own home, the Eternal Universe, had to be jointly controlled with the Four Great Academies.
This information gave Lin Yu a more three-dimensional and profound understanding of the terrifying nature of the Four Great Academies.
It also made him understand the source of Qing Xuan's confident swagger—
This was almost a behemoth that could not be directly destroyed by individual martial prowess!
If it were purely a martial confrontation, with Boundless and the Myriad Transformation Heavenly Pivot, he might be able to protect himself from death, but if the opponent was determined to trap and suppress him, the possibility was extremely high.
The Eternal Old Man's repeated defeats were a clear warning.
However, a martial predicament could still be maneuvered around; as long as he could fully comprehend all the Great Dao light clusters in the light brain, his martial prowess surpassing the Eternal Old Man was only a matter of time.
What left him most helpless was the 'psychological warfare' the opponent might employ—threatening those he cared about.
For example, Shangguan Yunxi, or... Chu Xi, whose whereabouts were still unknown!
On this point, even if Li Ti knew more secrets of the Four Great Academies, she seemed unable to find a perfect countermeasure.
Unless he could instantly bring everyone into his Inner World.
But this was clearly unrealistic; he couldn't even ascertain the exact location and safety of Lin Fei, Shangguan Yunxi, and others at this moment.
The atmosphere in the void became somewhat stagnant for a time.
Just then, Ling Yun, who had been silently contemplating, suddenly raised her head, a strange light flickering in her eyes. She looked at Lin Yu and softly said:
"Husband, I have a way to help you leave the Star Dao Academy silently, or rather, as long as I have coordinates, I can go to any place in the Chaos. I wonder... if it can help you!"
She didn't have Li Ti's extensive knowledge base; she had been thinking about how to use her abilities to help Lin Yu.
After much thought, only the core secret of her clan might be of some help.
Although her grandmother had repeatedly emphasized that she shouldn't even tell her own man, she couldn't afford to care about that now.
Since she followed Lin Yu, in just a hundred years, her cultivation realm had already caught up to her ancestors, and Lin Yu had never asked her to do anything.
Even when a fatal crisis appeared outside, he would come back to discuss countermeasures with them, instead of asking them to go out and help. She had to do her best to help.
"What? Go to any place in the Chaos silently?"
Lin Yu was startled upon hearing this.
He looked at Ling Yun with some shock in his eyes.
Even Li Ti looked at Ling Yun in surprise.
Something that even she, an Undying Realm Ancestral Dragon, couldn't do, Ling Yun could accomplish before even reaching the Undying Realm?
Moreover, as far as she knew, Ling Yun didn't cultivate Great Daos like space!
"Mhm, Husband, have you forgotten where you first saw me? This is the core secret of my Holy Spirit Race; it can..."
Seeing the surprised looks from the two, Ling Yun didn't hide anything and revealed her origin and abilities.
