Chapter 181: Old Friends Reunite

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

The Dream-Making Expert

Within the cave residence, the fragrance of tea overflowed in all directions.

Lin Qi and Gushe sat on the ground, each holding a cup of fragrant tea.

Their eyes met, and they could not help but smile faintly.

Lin Qi set down his teacup and laughed. “By my count, it’s been twenty years since we last met.”

“That’s more like it.”

Gushe held her teacup, her eyes spirited within the curling steam.

“You must be very curious as to how I transformed into the Star Academy’s Inspector-General?”

“Indeed.”

Lin Qi nodded slightly. He was indeed very curious about Gushe’s fortunes over these years.

Back when the two had parted.

Gushe had been single-mindedly trying to escape the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.

He had assumed that after so many years.

Even if Gushe had failed to escape the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm, she should still have been striving toward that goal.

But who would have thought, after all these years.

Not only had Gushe not escaped, she had instead become the Star Academy’s Inspector-General.

Like a thief becoming a thief-catcher.

It was inevitably astonishing.

“It seems you still don’t understand the rules of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm well enough.”

Gushe lowered her head and took a sip of tea. “Otherwise, you should have first congratulated me on advancing to Golden Core.”

“After all, not everyone can be as lucky as you.”

“Merely at Foundation Establishment, yet able to gain the appreciation of a Great Power and hold a post in the Star Academy.”

Lin Qi could not help but lose himself slightly.

When they had parted back then, Gushe had only been at the Qi Refinement Realm.

Now, in merely twenty short years.

He had barely stepped into the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Still striving for the subsequent transformation of his divine ability.

Yet Gushe had actually overtaken him from behind, already achieving Golden Core.

Such a cultivation speed was simply astounding.

But when he thought of how Gushe’s true body was originally a Primordial God born from the opening and derivation of an entire cosmos.

Lin Qi was once again relieved.

After all, if Gushe had been born through normal gestation.

Then at the moment of birth, she should have been a Primordial God at least comparable to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Now she had merely achieved Golden Core.

For Gushe’s innate qualifications and foundation, it actually wasn’t particularly exaggerated.

Still, even by the rules of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.

After achieving Golden Core, one could enter the Star Academy.

Receive further cultivation, then be assigned different duties.

But Lin Qi did not believe that Gushe, who had once single-mindedly wanted to escape the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm, would voluntarily report to the Star Academy after advancing to Golden Core.

So, some change he did not know about must have occurred.

Could it be Yuyao?

Lin Qi was lost in thought, but before he could speak.

Gushe smiled and said.

“It has nothing to do with Master.”
