Chapter 107 Trip

"Ascending over a hundred floors, a new direction for development has appeared. I wonder what it would be like if I passed two hundred, three hundred... or even a thousand floors?" Ye Chuxiao thought, but didn't delve deeper into it.

In the future, it will no longer be easy to stack the Tower of Ascension by killing people.

Using those low-realm cultivators to gain floors is just a waste of Dao rhythm.

As it stands now, perhaps only cultivators above the Wisdom Realm are worthy of Ye Chuxiao's 'collection'.

After enhancing his Mind Armor again and raising the Tower of Ascension to over a hundred floors through 'killing the goose for its eggs', Ye Chuxiao didn't rush to leave the Academy World.

Instead, he planned to use the Tree-shaped Railway to travel from Canaan Academy to other academies, continuing to unlock Jester's treasures and making this layer of armor as thick as possible.

In addition to this, he also needed to cultivate some Mind Secret Arts to enhance his proactive offensive capabilities in the mind.

Facing the future Mind Core game, just defending is too passive.

The Tree-shaped Railway is a very unique means of transportation in the Academy World.

At the edge of almost every academy city, there is a giant tree made of steel and talisman cables.

The branches and leaves of the giant tree are transparent and seem to extend infinitely outward.

The branches and leaves of the giant trees in different cities are connected, forming a tree-shaped railway that encompasses almost the entire world.

People only need to take specific railway cloud vehicles to quickly travel to other cities.

Swiping his card, registering, and entering his aura, Ye Chuxiao rode the teleportation cloud pod and was quickly sent to the top of the canopy.

Stepping out of the independent cloud pod, he looked around and saw flowing clouds under his feet. Stepping on them, the touch was soft and firm.

That was a layer of transparent tree membrane. Looking closely, one could even see some plant-like patterns.

The cloud top of the giant tree looked more like a distribution station.

People coming and going were waiting at fixed positions according to their tickets, waiting for the railway cloud vehicle to arrive.

Ye Chuxiao also found the waiting point for his cloud vehicle. After waiting for about fifteen minutes, he saw a cloud vehicle decorated in the shape of a giant flying goldfish stop in front of the platform.

The waiting passengers checked their tickets and entered the cloud vehicle one after another.

After stopping for about five minutes, the cloud vehicle quickly started and moved rapidly along the veins of the tree-shaped railway.

The cloud vehicle traveled above the clouds along the unique railway built from branches and leaves, leaving Canaan Academy far behind in just a few seconds.

Ye Chuxiao found his seat and sat down.

Ye Chuxiao was very satisfied with the soft and spacious seating space.

The massage function attached to the seat also gave Ye Chuxiao the urge to experience it.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest, he saw a beautiful girl with pink hair, two braids, a gray baseball cap, and white suspenders and denim shorts walking to Ye Chuxiao's side, dragging a large suitcase. Then, she carefully compared the ticket with the number on the seat, gradually revealing a look of joy.

"Classmate, are you going out for a trip?" The beautiful girl greeted Ye Chuxiao enthusiastically. At the same time, she stood on tiptoe and pulled down a wide leaf above her head. The leaf grew larger under her kneading. Then, she placed the suitcase on the leaf, and the leaf slowly sent it into the high luggage storage compartment.

From Ye Chuxiao's perspective, with a little impoliteness, he could see playful snow-white abs waving hello to him.

And under the white suspenders, the bouncing, joyous snowballs.

"Yeah!" Ye Chuxiao shifted his gaze, trying not to stare, so as not to seem like he had never seen the world.

"Are you also going to Yunchu Academy?" The beautiful girl sat down, one long leg slightly bent, and the other stretched forward, perfectly showing the length and appropriately presenting the curve.

The sandals with flashing crystals on her feet were a little dazzling.

"Maybe!" Ye Chuxiao replied monotonously.

The beautiful girl chuckled when she heard this: "Classmate! You're so shy! Are you worried that I'm a bad person?"

Saying that, she stretched out her slender hand: "I'm Duanmu Lin, a third-year student in the advanced division of Tianshui Academy. Canaan is the first stop on my study tour. Now I'm going to Yunchu. After that, I'm going to visit the famous academy cities of Caicheng, Xianming, Diyou, and Fudu."

Ye Chuxiao glanced at the other party's outstretched palm, lightly touched it with his fingertips, and then said, "Nice to meet you, I'm Chu Dongjun!"

"Dongjun? Does it mean the sun?"

"It seems that your parents hope you will be as bright and dazzling as the sun. What a great meaning!" Duanmu Lin said with a bright smile.

"No, it was given by the nanny at the orphanage. I'm called Dongjun because I drew the Dongjun card from the Gods cards," Ye Chuxiao said according to the identity setting.

Duanmu Lin seemed a little flustered and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

"It's okay, I don't mind!" Ye Chuxiao waved his hand and said.

After saying that, he closed his eyes and began to think about the next steps and plans.

A small encounter during the journey may be a fortunate thing for those young children who have never seen the world, but for Ye Chuxiao, it is too much trouble.

Unexpectedly, after a while, he seemed to hear suppressed sobbing next to him, accompanied by slight trembling.

Ye Chuxiao wanted to ignore it, but the other party's movements seemed to be getting louder and louder, disturbing his rest.

Ye Chuxiao opened his eyes speechlessly and looked at Duanmu Lin: "What's wrong with you?"

Duanmu Lin hugged her face and said with a crying voice, "I'm... I'm sorry! I shouldn't... I shouldn't! I didn't mean to!"

Saying that, she even started crying loudly.

Ye Chuxiao gritted his back teeth. What's wrong with this woman?

Is there something wrong with her brain?

Even if she really said something wrong, is it necessary to be like this?

Ye Chuxiao regretted not changing seats immediately.

He was hesitating whether it would be better to just leave, or to hand her a tissue and then leave, to be more gentlemanly.

A middle-aged passenger on the row of seats behind him whispered, "Little brother! Can you keep your voice down a little? My wife has been feeling unwell recently and needs a good rest."

Ye Chuxiao hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, but it's not my problem, she's the one crying, so..."

"Little brother! Are you also having mental problems? Aren't you sitting alone?"

"Do you want me to introduce you to a better Mind cultivator to help you sort things out?"

"I know a Senior Wu, his Mind cultivation is very good."

Ye Chuxiao had already actively shielded the voice of the middle-aged passenger behind him.

He turned his head and looked at Duanmu Lin again.

At this time, looking at the details, it was not difficult to find that she was still somewhat out of sync with the style of the Academy World.

"Once again, a new 'friend' was born, uncontrollably!" Ye Chuxiao took a deep breath, suppressing a trace of annoyance in his heart.

Now that things have happened, emotions like annoyance or regret are meaningless.

"If the appearance of Xiong Maomao was because I was not familiar with the rules when I first came to this world, then Duanmu Lin is a warning."

"I am relying on the Heavenly Dao flaws of this world to carry out special Mind cultivation, but it is also aggravating my 'illness'. When I return to this world and repeatedly upgrade Jester, my addiction will become more serious, even subjectively distorting my cognition and judgment. Even if I am already a Wisdom Realm cultivator and stronger in the Mind, I cannot avoid this flaw."

"Creating friends, this 'addiction' may be very powerful, but it will also become a weakness that I should pay attention to and be wary of."

"If I don't pay attention, I will become more and more trapped in a false world that is difficult to recognize, walking into a maze of alternating reality and illusion." At this time, Ye Chuxiao had to put a temporary question mark on his next plan.

"A flaw is a flaw. No matter how flexibly it can be used, it cannot cover up its essence."

"I must never think that it is a controllable resource just because the flaw briefly forms an advantage for me." Ye Chuxiao constantly warned himself in his heart.

His carelessness was actually formed by Da Heng after Tang Sudong completed the Heavenly Dao in a certain sense.

Because of Tang Sudong, Da Heng will appear relatively complete for at least twenty years, with no obvious biases.

This also means that the aftereffects of traveling through the worlds will be suppressed as much as possible in Da Heng and will no longer be obvious.

It was not until this time that Ye Chuxiao remembered Ye Chuyu's warning.

Limited cross-border travel is best to allow flaws to check and balance each other to form a balance.

After recognizing the 'truth', the crying Duanmu Lin also gradually faded away and disappeared beside Ye Chuxiao, turning into a new phantom and enveloping Ye Chuxiao's mind.

But she was more like a shadow, making Ye Chuxiao feel like he had a lump in his throat.

"It seems that the next journey in the Academy World can only be used to cultivate Mind Secret Arts and cannot continue to upgrade Jester."

"Xiong Maomao, Jester, and Duanmu Lin, they are actually all one, all manifestations of my addiction in this world."

"Strengthening one of them, from a direct point of view, seems like just strengthening a layer of Mind barrier, but in reality, it is strengthening the overall addiction, aggravating the illness... I should have thought of this."

Looking at the tumbling sea of clouds through the window, Ye Chuxiao even began to wonder for a moment if there were other 'friends' around him that had not been discovered yet.

An hour and a half later, the cloud vehicle arrived at the station, and Ye Chuxiao got off the cloud vehicle alone.

Seeing that no new 'strangers' came up to him, Ye Chuxiao relaxed a little.

"I also have to find an expert in Mind cultivation to help me with advice."

"Originally, Ye Chuyu's grandfather would have been very suitable, but... this old guy has a deep prejudice against me. If I reveal my identity, he will probably think of how to kick me out first."

"As for simply leaving this world and escaping this environment, that is not the correct attitude to deal with the problem. The state of actively 'getting sick' has already begun to appear, which means that it is very likely to be triggered again for some reason in the future. If such a flaw is revealed in a key game, it will be very fatal."

"If you find a problem, you must solve it. Even if you can't completely solve it, you must at least have a feasible plan first." Ye Chuxiao walked out of the cloud top station and took the cloud pod to the ground.

The appearance of Yunchu Academy was displayed in front of Ye Chuxiao.

Compared with Canaan Academy's neatness, modernity, and various high-rise buildings, Yunchu Academy was obviously much smaller, but more national in style.

The wooden buildings scattered on the cliffs, stacked on top of each other, climbing on both sides of the canyon peaks, the ancient streets presented like stairs, and the giant will-o'-the-wisps lanterns floating in the air, and a large number of colorful flags fluttering in the wind.

All of them pulled Ye Chuxiao's vision into a colorful world.

When the wind blew the clouds and passed through this dreamlike and magnificent canyon, they were also given multi-layered colors.

It was like pieces of white cloth that were dyed and processed into finished products.

"Is this the meaning of Yunchu?" (Yunchu literally translates to Cloud Birth.)

"It's really interesting!"

"Moreover, is such a unique city formed because of someone's addiction?" Ye Chuxiao suddenly felt that perhaps the pattern and cause of the world were also related to the Heavenly Dao flaws of that world.

Some seemingly incomprehensible 'settings' will become reasonable if viewed from the perspective of Heavenly Dao flaws.

"Wow! It's so lively!"

"I'm really sorry about just now, I lost my composure!" Duanmu Lin appeared beside Ye Chuxiao. Ye Chuxiao had actively 'released' her.

"It's okay, it's all in the past!" Ye Chuxiao said perfunctorily.

Then he quickly said, "How much do you know about Yunchu?"

Duanmu Lin stretched her waist, dragged her suitcase, and said excitedly, "Yunchu City, the Land of Colorful Clouds, it is the city that all artists yearn for, and the place that cultivates the most artists, poets, and writers. And the creator of Yunchu City is still alive!"

"Gong Shuming, a Formless Realm cultivator recorded in the annals, the creator of Yunchu City, the principal of Yunchu Academy, is now one thousand two hundred and twenty-one years old, and can be called a living fossil in the cultivation world."

Ye Chuxiao stood aside, seemingly expressionless, but in fact his heart was full of waves.

Because he didn't know some of what Duanmu Lin said.

This was a bit appalling.

Theoretically, all the cognitions of the friends that Ye Chuxiao creates with his addiction should evolve from his cognitive basis.

Xiong Maomao and Jester are both like this.

They each have their own personalities in Ye Chuxiao's presentation.

But what they say and do actually extracts nutrients from Ye Chuxiao's thoughts.

Duanmu Lin didn't seem to be like this!

She even managed to actively acquire external information... in a way that Ye Chuxiao did not yet know.

"This disease must be treated!"

"Not a moment can be wasted!" Ye Chuxiao made up his mind.

Then he smiled and asked Duanmu Lin, "Then in this city, is there a particularly famous master in Mind cultivation?"

Duanmu Lin put her hands on her hips and said, "You've come to the right person to ask!"

"Master Wen Rui, the proposer of the famous 'Mirror' theory, is a professor in Yunchu City."

"What? Do you have a problem with Mind cultivation that you want to ask this master about?"

Ye Chuxiao looked at Duanmu Lin kindly, grinding his back teeth: "That's right! There are some minor problems that need to be solved. Is it convenient to help me show the way again?"
