Chapter 93: World Coordinates

The transformed followers’ souls are all anchored within Lin Yu’s internal universe.

This grants them the extraordinary ability to resurrect after death, but also imposes spiritual limitations.

Even if they devoutly and fervently die for Lin Yu, it is merely natural to them—they never experience the soul’s radiance as ordinary humans do.

It is precisely the selfish, dark, and complex humanity of ordinary people that grants them the qualification for soul transcendence.

The fixed nature of followers, shaped by transformation, fails to meet the requirements for soul transcendence…

Of course, all of the above are merely Lin Yu’s personal speculations, not any truth.

He has not told Wol or the followers these things because he harbors hope and a touch of luck, wondering if any follower might break through the limit and achieve a miraculous transcendence.

But so far, no follower has accomplished this.

In comparison, Dai Meng, who accompanies Volame on adventures, is the one with the greatest potential.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yu casually brushed off Wol’s questions; once Wol left in disappointment, Lin Yu instantly teleported to the academy’s entrance, waiting for Volame and Fllien while opening the chat group in his mind.

Yes, three days ago, he had already perfected the Golden Core Chapter and uploaded it to the group files.

The Golden Core Chapter fuses the full-body Qi transformation from the Reverse Life Threefold with Lin Yu’s concept of elemental transformation, forging all magical energy and flesh into a single Golden Core (crystal nucleus).

From then on, flesh merges into it, soul rests upon it, and the essence of life is elevated.

With a single thought, one can break free from the flesh’s shackles, achieving full-body Qi transformation and the cyclical rotation of the Five Elements, thus attaining eternal life and unbounded freedom in the mortal world.

Truly, one Golden Core swallowed whole—my fate is mine, not heaven’s!

Unfortunately, this near-immortal state is merely an aromatic pie for current group members.

The group’s average realm is currently Qi Cultivation Stage Three; the highest, Xiang Yunye, is merely at the peak of Stage Three, still a vast chasm away from Foundation Establishment.

Yet for these academy students, Qi Cultivation Stage Three is already an extremely high realm.

Without the chat group enhancing their talent, reaching Stage Two after a year would already make them geniuses!

【Lin Yu: Brothers, who’s free? Come lend me a hand as a part-time teacher!】

【Su Haoming: What kind of job?】

【Lin Yu: Teach at the Immortal Academy.】

【Xiang Yunye: …】

【Su Haoming: Are we even qualified?】

【Lin Yu: Of course you are! These kids are brand-new students who can’t even walk yet—you’re at least Qi Cultivation Stage Three; teaching them is more than enough!】

【Lin Yu: To be honest, my teaching staff is extremely scarce—I’ve had to teach them myself, and even dragged the two spirit monkeys from the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sky Valley to be teachers!】

【Su Haoming & Xiang Yunye: …】

【Su Haoming: I’m free, but even if I go, I can only stay a few days—isn’t that wasting an invitation?】

Since Lin Yu visited the Tang Gui world and resolved many cases without a trace, after Su Wuming took office as Regional Commander of Nanzhou, the entire region has been utterly peaceful, leaving no chance for him to shine.

The only case even remotely mysterious—the Ju County dismemberment case—was solved in a single day with Su Haoming’s help.

The rest of the days have been so calm they hardly feel like a mystery drama.

This applies to Su Wuming, and even more so to Su Haoming.

Nanzhou is rich in mountains and rivers, and with the Four Sons of Nanzhou as its hallmark, countless legends have emerged.

This means Su Haoming spends his days either cultivating or wandering through Nanzhou’s landscapes—he’s utterly bored…

【Lin Yu: No problem, just come occasionally to teach a class and ease my burden.】

【Lin Yu: Besides, for others, coming here wastes points—but you’re different.】

【Su Haoming: ?】

【Lin Yu: Straight out—I’ve found the coordinates of the Tang Gui world!】

【Su Haoming & Xiang Yunye & He Jingfeng: ???】

【Lin Yu: Stop asking with question marks—you know my abilities.】

【Lin Yu: If your worlds weren’t so far from mine, opening teleport gates would be effortless.】

【Su Haoming: That’s true…】

【Xiang Yunye: So Lin Brother, you spent five years to find Tang Gui’s coordinates?】

【Xiang Yunye: What about my world?】

【Lin Yu: I haven’t been there yet, but I suspect it’s even farther.】

【He Jingfeng: …】

【Lin Yu: Same for you—it’s a bit farther than Tang Gui.】

【Lin Yu: I estimate it’ll take about another year to locate it.】

【Xiang Yunye: Then I’ll have to find time to invite Lin Brother over for a visit.】

【Xiang Yunye: Relying only on invitation cards is too troublesome.】

【He Jingfeng: Yun Brother, if you’re just after my resources, just say it outright—no need to beat around the bush.】

【Xiang Yunye: Hehe, it’s just that Yushan Academy was just built~】

【Lin Yu: Where’s Fan Xian?】

【Xiang Yunye: Don’t know—he hasn’t shown up today.】

【He Jingfeng: Last time he left me, he took a lot of special medicine for pulmonary tuberculosis.】

【He Jingfeng: He’s probably still cuddling with Miss Lin Waner…】

【Su Haoming: @Lin Yu, alright Lin Brother!】

【Su Haoming: I’ve already informed my cousin—I’m going on a study trip for a few months.】

【Lin Yu: … Already?】

【Su Haoming: Nanzhou is peaceful; my cousin, the Regional Commander, has nothing to do these days—he just sits in the office all day. With my speed, the trip takes minutes.】

【Lin Yu: Fine. Since you’re ready, I’ll open the teleport gate!】

【Su Haoming: Yes yes!】

【Lin Yu: Take out the jade pendant I gave you.】

Above the Nanzhou Inspector’s mansion in the Tang Gui world.

Su Haoming stood on two air vortices, his mind stirred by the group message—he immediately pulled out the jade pendant.

Instantly, the pendant glowed, silver light weaving into a silver teleport gate before him.

Externally, this gate resembled the invitation-card teleport gate, but the aura within felt deeply familiar to Su Haoming.

“So that’s it…”

Su Haoming realized: “Did the jade pendant Lin Brother gave us always have this function?”

Su Haoming felt no negative emotion toward Lin Yu’s hidden maneuver.

This was the effect of Lin Yu’s relentless goodwill-building among group members!

For this Lin Brother who guided them onto the Dao, Su Haoming and the others trusted him completely.

Even if Lin Yu now admitted the pendant contained a fragment of his consciousness, they’d react little—perhaps just ask in the group if that fragment might invade their privacy…

Without hesitation, Su Haoming stepped into the teleport gate.

Instantly, the world before him transformed.

Thick “heaven-and-earth spiritual energy” surged from all directions; Su Haoming inhaled deeply, smiling as he gazed at the handsome young man standing at the academy gate.

“Lin Brother, long time no see!”

Lin Yu smiled: “To me, it’s been a long time—but for you, barely a week?”

Su Haoming grinned: “That’s exactly what I meant!”

He turned his head, curiously scanning the surrounding buildings.

“This is the Immortal Academy? Why does it look so quiet?”

“Normal. The academy currently has only thirty-six students and three teachers—fewer than forty people. If it were bustling, that’d be the real problem!”

Here, Lin Yu paused, smiling at Su Haoming: “How about flying up to take a look? The Spine Peak City now is nothing like what you remember!”

“Can I?”

Su Haoming, intrigued, asked for permission, then soared into the sky to survey the current Spine Peak City.

Seeing the bustling outer city and the radically transformed inner city, Su Haoming couldn’t help but marvel: “A thousandfold time-flow difference—back home, only days have passed, yet here, it’s been a sea change!”

“But Lin Brother…”

Su Haoming descended, shaking his head: “Your Immortal Academy is poorly designed—especially the architecture. It’s clearly copied from a magic academy—too Western!”

“You should add elements like floating immortal mountains or endless clouds.”

“At the very least, build it on a mountain—building on a plain? That’s no immortal sect…”

Lin Yu laughed: “No rush. When they all learn flight, we can remodel the academy.”

“Besides, in my plan, senior students aren’t meant to live here anyway…”

Oh?

Su Haoming’s mind stirred: “Is that the mysterious Daoist sanctuary?”

Lin Yu smiled faintly—he had already hinted to group members about the sanctuary; they all knew he controlled a subspace, though none realized it was his internal universe.

“Don’t rush. Once things here are settled, I’ll take you there.”

“For an immortal like you, that place is the true paradise!”

As he spoke, Lin Yu suddenly paused, then smiled toward the academy gate: “I forgot to tell you—Volame and Fllien will arrive soon to tour the academy. You’ve always wanted to meet them—perfect chance to introduce you!”

Volame and Fllien?!

Su Haoming’s eyes lit up, immediately turning to gaze beyond the gate.

Two graceful figures appeared on the road outside the academy gate; the leader was a tall woman with wavy orange hair and a smiling face, followed by a petite, quiet silver-haired elf girl.

It really is them!

Su Haoming’s eyes lit up.

At the same time, Vlamé also spotted the two at the entrance.

Vlamé was not surprised by Lin Yu’s presence, but the unfamiliar black-haired young man beside him piqued her curiosity greatly.

“Long time no see, Lin… who is this?”

Lin Yu smiled: “He’s the new teacher at the Immortal Cultivation Academy. Just call him Su Haoming!”

Su Haoming…

Is that a Hua Xia name?!

Vlamé was first taken aback, then froze, as if something had just come to mind.

Come to think of it, Wol had mentioned earlier that the academy’s teachers currently numbered only three.

Aside from Lin Yu, there were only those two left…

Thinking of this, Vlamé widened her eyes in disbelief and stared at Su Haoming, blurting out:

“You’re the Spirit Monkey?!”
