Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 430 Spine Peak City Fifty Years Later
Fortunately, this was a magical telepathic exchange between the two of them. If the citizens of the floating city nearby had heard it, they would have rolled their eyes and kept complaining.

Spine Peak City is rich in resources and offers numerous benefits. The wandering magic permeating the territory has also undergone layers of purification, eliminating magical radiation that could affect the physical body.

Even so, ordinary residents of the Ridgelands still only live for a little over a hundred years.

Even with the help of various health supplements and longevity pills, one can only live to be a little over two hundred years old at most.

For them, thirty years may not be a long time, but it is certainly not short either; how could it be described as "just a short time"?

However, the two people currently conversing are an elf with a lifespan of almost eternity, and an immortal being of the immortal race.

Thirty years is really nothing to them...

Frilian glanced at Nadi and said, "The Celestials are also a long-lived race, right? Don't you have any problems with reproduction?"

Nadi didn't shy away from the topic and immediately shook her head, saying, "The inheritance of the immortal race is different from that of you elves. Just because two immortals unite doesn't guarantee that they will give birth to an immortal."

"Only when there are new members of the Immortal Clan can a new Immortal Clan be born!"

Frillie asked in confusion, "Why is that?"

Nadi shook her head and said, "Then I can't tell you. This is a secret of our immortal race!"

Although called the Immortal Clan, it is actually Lin Yu's personal clan. Their souls are enshrined in the Heart of the Clan, and only true members can obtain the Heart of the Clan.

For this reason, the number of immortals depends on the rank and number of their relatives.

To this day, only four people, including Old Wall, have truly become Lin Yu's family.

Among these four, two are level seven relatives and two are level eight relatives, which translates to six hundred relatives.

The current number of Celestials has exceeded five hundred. Before a new member is born, the four members will strictly control the number of new Celestials born to ensure that the danger of exposing the clan's secrets is not reached.

Nadi said with a worried expression, "In short, the number of new immortals has been decreasing over the years. In my generation, there are only seven immortals, and I don't know when another one will be born—"

Before she could finish speaking, Nadi realized what was happening, quickly shut her mouth, and her eyes darted around, soon turning towards the floating city beyond the cloud ladder.

"Look!"

Nadia abruptly changed the subject, pointing outside with delight, "That's our magic academy!"

Frillie's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned her head to look in the direction of Nadi's slender white fingers.

At this moment, the floating ladder was already descending rapidly, and through the magical barrier at the edge of the ladder, one could see the entire floating city from below.

On either side of the floating city, two floating islands are attached.

The floating island to the east is covered with mountains and shrouded in mist. In the distance, one can vaguely see many palaces and pavilions, as well as figures riding flying swords through the clouds.

As for the floating island to the west, which is the place Nadi was referring to, it is filled with various towers and castles.

The tallest black tower in the center has ninety-nine floors, and a huge silver clock hangs on its top. It is the most famous building in the magic academy—the Clock Tower!

Without a doubt, these two floating islands are now the territory of the Immortal Cultivation Academy and the Magic Academy.

Fifty years have passed, and both academies have undergone considerable changes, the most significant of which is the growth of their faculty.

In particular, the cultivation academy is no longer what it used to be, where only spirit apes could serve as teachers.

The first batch of students to graduate now possess at least the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Those genius graduates who were qualified to serve as deans of their respective academies even surpassed the progress of the chat group members, reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage first.

Of course, it took them more than fifty years to get to this point.

The group members had only cultivated for a few years, yet their aptitude still far surpassed that of the natives.

Therefore, the group members were not surprised by this situation where the student surpassed the teacher; on the contrary, they were all happy about it and rushed to resign from their positions with Lin Yu.

Their reasons were so compelling that Lin Yu had no choice but to agree to their request and relinquish his title as the head of the branch.

As for the magic academy next door, its teachers were originally from the immortal race.

Although many college graduates have been rehired, the majority of senior management are still from the Immortal Clan.

This isn't because the immortals are clinging to power; it's mainly because their teaching methods are quite unique, which has become a distinctive feature and style of the Spine Peak City Magic Academy.

If a large number of teachers are replaced, it will disappoint many students who come here because of their reputation.

That's right. Although the Immortal Cultivation Academy still only recruits students in Spine Peak City, the neighboring Magic Academy has shown a more open attitude.

In addition to the local residents of Spine Peak City, magical geniuses will also be recruited from other countries on the continent.

For example, the second prince who helped promote magic had studied abroad for three years on Vlamé's recommendation.

After returning to his country and ascending the throne, he continued to promote his alma mater abroad. Even though the empire established its own magic academy, it would still send talented students here every year as exchange students.

That's why, in magic academies, background and social status are the least valuable things.

The immortals who served as teachers were all eccentric. In front of them, not to mention princes and princesses, even the current emperor of the unified empire had to complete the tasks left by them first!

Looking at the famous clock tower, Frillie couldn't help but blink.

If she remembered correctly, this tower was designed by her teacher, Vlame. The clock tower originally only had nine floors, but now it has been expanded to ninety-nine! Nadi grinned at Frilian and said, "Although you don't seem to have much magic power, your aura is like that of an experienced old mage. You must have some good magical talent!"

“Coincidentally, my mother has one more recommendation spot.”

"If you don't mind, I can ask my mother to recommend you to a magic academy, what do you say?"

...Are you already making recommendations?
Frillie looked at the overly familiar girl in front of her with a bit of an exasperation.

They had known each other for no more than ten minutes, and she hadn't even introduced herself yet, but this guy was already thinking about getting her into the magic academy!

"forget it……"

Frillie shook her head and said, "I already have a teacher."

Nadi said disappointedly, "Alright then... Oh right, I haven't asked yet, what's your name?"

Before the words were even finished, the ladder had already reached the ground, making a soft tinkling sound.

Frillie stood up, glanced at Nadi, and casually said as she took out a crystal card from her pocket:

"Flillian."

"So your name is Frillian..."

Nadi smiled and was about to speak when her pupils suddenly contracted, and she stared in astonishment at the silver crystal card in Frilian's hand.

On the silver card surface, a mysterious eye composed of several twisted lines was clearly engraved.

"This is... the emblem of the Immortal Clan?!"

Nadia exclaimed in astonishment, "How did you get this card?!"

Frilian replied honestly, "The monkey gave it to me when I left the city lord's mansion."

After saying that, she frowned and looked at the card in her hand with a puzzled expression.

"Why no response?"

"...The suspended ladder only needs to be swiped once, and no further payment is required when leaving."

Nadi snapped out of her daze, offered a brief explanation, and then, suppressing her shock, transmitted her voice, "You mean, Lord Guangmou personally handed the card to you?"

"Who exactly are you—wait, Frilian, I think I remember now, you're Lord Vlame's disciple?!"

Frilian looked at Nadia with some surprise, seemingly not expecting her to know the name Vlame.

After a moment's thought, Frilian nodded and said, "Yes, it's me."

Nadi's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but say, "It's you! I'm so lucky. Lady Vlame hasn't appeared in Spine Peak City for fifty years, and I actually met her disciple here!"

Have you ever met my teacher?

"Of course not, I'm only fifteen!"

"Then how did you..."

“It’s my mother!” Nadi quickly said. “She was among the first students at the Magic Academy and had the privilege of receiving instruction from Lord Vlame.”

"I see!"

Frillie suddenly understood, nodding as she started walking towards the outside of the cloud ladder.

The city of Ridge on the ground is divided into nine districts, each with a different architectural style.

The area where Frilian and Nadi are currently located is the technologically advanced Sector Seven.

Everywhere you look, there are skyscrapers that are hundreds of stories high, standing like steel jungles on the ground. Their surfaces are covered with giant holographic screens that flash neon lights day and night, displaying various advertisements and promotions.

Between the skyscrapers, winding elevated tracks connect them, with suspended trains whizzing past like glowing giant pythons.

Higher up on the elevated track are various types of airships, large and small.

These include single-person flight platform devices as well as custom-made luxury hovercraft.

Frillie chose District 7 as her first stop mainly because of Vlamé's influence.

After all, she had heard her talk about alchemy and technology ever since she first became Vlame's disciple.

Now that I have the opportunity, I should definitely come to Spine Peak City to witness the scene of extremely advanced technology.

Seeing Frillie standing on the platform outside the ladder, gazing at the sky with a somewhat shocked expression, Nadi, who had just followed her out, quickly ran over and said enthusiastically:
"Frilian, it's been a long time since you've been to Spine Peak City, hasn't it?"

"If you don't mind, how about I show you around?"

Frillie stopped and looked at her strangely, saying, "Don't you still have projects to complete?"

Natie replied without hesitation, "My research topic is simply to wander around, which doesn't conflict with being a guide at all!"

Frillie thought about it and agreed, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you!"
