Remodeling the Internal Universe

With a flash of silver light, Lin Yu appeared on the continent within the Internal Universe.

A deep-blue barrier tens of thousands of kilometers thick shielded it from the harsh environment outside. A pure, vast ocean of magic power rippled across the sky, radiating brilliant, dazzling white light.

Feeling the magic power radiation saturating the surroundings, Lin Yu could not help narrowing his eyes slightly.

He had always viewed this place from a higher-dimensional perspective before. Switching to a human body this time was indeed a little uncomfortable...

Shaking his head, he set off, strolling across the continent with great interest.

When he passed the mountain-like piles of items scattered across the plains, Lin Yu could not help frowning.

Previously, this place had merely been his Storage Space, so there had been no need to be overly particular about how things were stored.

But now that he could enter this place in the flesh, he should tidy it up properly first!

With that thought, Lin Yu's mind stirred. Mountains immediately rose from the ground beneath his feet, while streams split off from the ocean of magic power overhead, transforming into ancient, majestic palaces throughout the mountains.

In the blink of an eye, an endless complex of palaces appeared before Lin Yu.

The mountain ranges overlapped in layers, soaring into the clouds, while the palaces were ancient, grand, and magnificent.

If there was any flaw, it was the lack of vegetation, which made the place look bare and desolate.

After some thought, Lin Yu's True Body, seated in the study room, vanished in an instant and appeared high above the Castle.

With a thought, the ocean of magic power within the Internal Universe began to churn. Streams of magic power descended from the sky, forming tens of thousands of layers of deep-blue barriers that enveloped the entire mountain range.

Then, Lin Yu's True Body spread his arms, and the surrounding space immediately began to distort.

A terrifying suction force emerged from nowhere, and countless currents of air rushed eagerly into his body.

Only after the air within the barrier reached normal levels did Lin Yu stop. He then drew upon the ocean of magic power and cast spells across the mountains to grow trees and create flowers and grass.

In just three minutes, towering trees sprang from the earth one after another. All manner of exotic flowers and strange herbs dotted the spaces between the giant trees, concealing half of the magnificent palace complex.

Leaves, flowers, and grass stretched themselves out, absorbing the magic-infused light filtered through the barrier.

Lin Yu's clone floated outside the barrier, gazing down at the spectacle beneath him in satisfaction.

A moment later, he waved a hand, and the various items piled at the foot of the mountains immediately rose into the air, flowing into the different palaces according to their categories.

Books such as the Daoist Canon and Magic Books were placed in a nine-story pagoda-like palace, which could henceforth be called either the Scripture Repository or the Questioning Scripture Pavilion.

Modified xianxia-style treasures such as Spiritual Roots and Spirit Stones were placed in a palace halfway up the mountain, which could henceforth be renamed the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Magical devices and magic power-type weapons were stored together next to the Treasures Pavilion. He would call that one the Hall of Exotic Treasures...

As Lin Yu sorted the items, he eagerly gave each of the palaces a name.

Though these names were hung on plaques above the palace gates, he could change them anytime, anywhere, whenever he wished.

Before long, Lin Yu finally finished handling all the items.

His figure flashed, and he appeared on a half-section platform at the rear of the mountain.

This was the Spirit Field he had reserved in advance, where he would cultivate exotic plants and spiritual vegetation.

With a sweep of his sleeve, Lin Yu's clone sent the strange plants he had brought back from the Tang Gui World flying out, where they settled into the soil.

Large amounts of plant-friendly magic power surged through the earth, gradually altering their varieties...

By the time he finished working past midnight, the renovations to the Internal Universe had finally reached a temporary conclusion.

Lin Yu walked through the various palaces in his clone body, admiring his own masterpiece.

According to his plan, once the mountain range's ecosystem had fully stabilized in a few more days, he would be able to invite the group members here as guests!

Time continued to move forward through the peaceful routine of daily life, and more than half a month quickly passed.

Over those days, Su Haoming finally got his wish and accompanied his cousin out of the Capital city to take up his post. They were still on the road to the Southern Continent.

It was worth mentioning that only two days after leaving Chang'an, their southbound party had expanded to a full seven people.

Aside from Su's three masters and servants, they had encountered Lu Lingfeng, who had been expelled from the Capital city; Pei Xijun, who had run away from home in pursuit of Lu Lingfeng; Xue Huan, Pei Xijun's young servant; and Fei Jishi, who had latched onto Su and Lu after capturing Yuan Lai.

Thus, the protagonist group had fully assembled, officially beginning their journey through strange cases.

Meanwhile, Yun Ye had obtained authorization from Li Er and was now busy establishing Yushan Academy.

Perhaps it was because he had gained extraordinary power, or perhaps because he instinctively resisted his predetermined fate.

In any case, Yun Ye's personality and bearing had undergone a certain transformation.

This was especially apparent in the way those around him treated him.

For example, when he visited Duke Wei's Mansion not long ago, Li Jing had intended to force him into revealing more intelligence concerning Chiu Jin Ke. Yet after meeting his gaze during their conversation, the Duke Wei, who had fought his way out of countless battlefields, was actually intimidated by Yun Ye's eyes for a moment, his imposing manner weakening by a notch.

Moreover, Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda, who regarded Yun Ye as one of their own juniors, felt the same way.

They had once casually scolded and beaten him as though he were their own son, but now, for some reason, they did not dare lay a hand on him...

As for Fan Xian, he had been living quite comfortably during this period. At Lin Yu's reminder, he and his fiancée Lin Wan'er had cleared up their misunderstanding. Now, every night, he would sneak into the Royal Villa for sweet secret meetings with Lin Wan'er.

Beyond that, Fan Xian had not escaped the irresistible appeal of it either. Ten days earlier, he had asked Lin Yu to implant a Spiritual Root in him.

This was all thanks to the active exchanges between Yun Ye and Su Haoming. Every day, they shared cultivation insights in the group and uploaded cultivation notes for Lin Yu to use as reference.

In just half a month, the two of them successively entered Qi Refining Level 2, with enough mana in their bodies to cast nine Basic Spells.

To Fan Xian, who had cultivated radiation true qi since childhood, such cultivation speed was simply unprecedented and unheard of.

Out of envy for their rate of growth, as well as concern that they would leave him far behind in the future, Fan Xian ultimately could not resist choosing to switch cultivation paths.

The facts proved that his so-called 'Innate Radiation Sacred Body' truly possessed uniquely blessed advantages.

His transition went unexpectedly smoothly. Not only did he awaken a Gold-Fire Dual Spiritual Root, but the radiation within his body also fused with his mana, producing a mutation that even Lin Yu had not anticipated.

For now, this mutated mana appeared to be benign.

In gaming terms, it meant a 50% increase in maximum starting mana, a 50% increase in spell attack power, and attacks that came with the [Radiation Anomaly] attribute.

As a result, Fan Xian's combat strength far surpassed that of Su and Yun at the same cultivation level.

Fortunately, Fan Xian had cultivated Overlord True Qi diligently for more than ten years and already possessed a solid foundation. It was only natural that he retained a certain baseline after switching cultivation paths, so there was no need to be overly envious.

All in all, the lives of the three group members had been fairly smooth, with nothing major happening.

More importantly, however, there was something else in the Chat Group—

[Activity: 2300 (9773/10000)]

[Contribution Points: 23623 (24974/5000)]

It had now been twenty-three days since Lin Yu joined the group. Based on the rule that each person could earn at most 100 Activity points per day, they had already accumulated more than 9,700 Activity points.

In just one more day, they would reach the 10,000-point milestone!

Looking at the Progress Box, which had changed drastically in appearance, Lin Yu could not help but smile.

Just then, he suddenly raised an eyebrow and shifted his gaze toward a Crystal Cave on the cliff face outside the Castle.

There, the sleeping Rolycoly had opened its eyes at some unknown point. Its massive pupils stared directly northward, as if it had sensed something unusual.

Lin Yu's heart stirred. His spiritual power surged out instantly, and he began communicating with Rolycoly through their minds.

A moment later, the corners of his lips curled up slightly as he chuckled. "No wonder you reacted so strongly. So... an old acquaintance has come to visit!"
