Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

Of course he knew that mechs were expensive.

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Chu Tianjiao of the Great Chu Dynasty gave it to him for free, he wouldn't have been willing to spend so much money to buy this thing.

However, it should be enough to deal with the inner sect competition.

……

A moment later.

The beam of light pierced through layers of clouds.

A towering mountain, radiating a vast and primordial aura, came into view of the three.

Tai Chu Peak!

One of the main peaks of the inner sect, and also the dojo of the Second Elder.

The streak of light landed in front of a secluded courtyard halfway up the mountain.

The spiritual energy here is so dense it forms a mist, and the surrounding area is filled with subtle yet powerful defensive formations.

"Su Yu, this is your residence as the chief steward of Tai Chu Peak."

The Second Elder waved his sleeve.

The courtyard gate swung open with a bang, revealing the simple and elegant buildings inside.

"The formation in this courtyard is strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a peak black hole level expert; it's very safe."

then.

The Second Elder flicked his finger.

A simple, purple-gold token transformed into a stream of light and landed steadily in Su Yu's palm.

The token felt slightly cool to the touch. It was made of neither gold nor jade. The front was engraved with the two characters "太初" (Taichu), while the back had the character "执" (Zhi).

"This is your butler identity token."

The second elder explained in detail.

"With this, you can go anywhere within the sect except for a few absolutely forbidden areas."

"You can enjoy the highest discounts for elders when you borrow cultivation techniques from the Scripture Pavilion or purchase resources from the Treasure Pavilion."

"Your monthly salary of 300 Star Stones will also be automatically allocated to this token at the beginning of each month."

Su Yu held the purple-gold token and nodded in satisfaction.

This privilege is indeed tempting.

The Second Elder then took out a communication jade slip and handed it to Su Yu.

"For the next three months, you can explore the sect on your own and get familiar with the environment."

"You can go and take a look at the Sutra Repository and the Preaching Peak."

"If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, feel free to send me a message."

The Second Elder looked at Su Yu with anticipation in his eyes.

"Let it settle down properly."

"Three months from now, on the day the Inner Sect Competition begins, I will personally come to fetch you!"

"I look forward to you winning back that egg of the cosmic behemoth for me!"

After explaining everything.

The Second Elder did not linger.

He took his newly accepted disciple Chu Wudao with him, and they transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the Taichu Hall at the top of the mountain.

In front of the villa.

Only Su Yu remained.

He turned and walked into the courtyard, the gate slowly closing behind him.

It isolated it from all the noise of the outside world.

Su Yu walked to the stone table in the center of the courtyard and sat down.

He placed the purple-gold token on the table and gently tapped the surface with his fingers.

It makes a crisp sound.

"Three months."

Su Yu's eyes were deep as he secretly plotted in his heart.

For those inner disciples who often go into seclusion for thousands of years, three months is not even enough time to take a nap.

But for Su Yu...

If you spend these three months sleeping, it would be a crime!

"With my aptitude, even if I sit here for three months, I will hardly be able to improve my cultivation."

"I need to find something to do."

"To be more precise..."

Su Yu's eyes became exceptionally bright.

We have to make money!

His current system balance, plus the 20,000 given to him by the Second Elder, totals 30,000 Meteor Balance.

A projection timeframe of 30,000 years.

That sounds like a lot.

However, if one wants to deduce that incomplete World Lord-level technique, "Primordial Origin Annihilation Domain Scripture," or further enhance the power of the Annihilation Divine Eye, then...

Thirty thousand years is simply not enough!

"The money-making schemes that the Second Elder mentioned before..."

Su Yu quickly filtered through the information in his mind.

Giving a lecture?

He's new here, and his fame hasn't fully taken hold yet. How many tickets he can sell is completely unknown, making his income too unstable.

In addition, they also went to the Starry Sky Hunting Grounds to kill Starry Sky Beasts.

However, it's physically demanding and carries a certain degree of danger.

Even a black hole-level behemoth only yields a few thousand star stones, which isn't a high income.

Currently, it seems that the income is not as high as that of the Tower of Babel.

"The Tower of Babel!"

Without any hesitation.

Su Yu pushed open the courtyard gate, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he sped directly toward the Tower of Babel.

……

Taichu Divine Martial Sect, Tongtian Peak.

This is one of the most bustling and central areas of the entire inner gate.

A colossal nine-story tower, entirely black and exuding an ancient and desolate aura, stands like a pillar supporting the sky, piercing straight into the starry heavens!

The Tower of Babel!

The array around the giant tower flickered with light.

At this moment, the huge plaza outside the Tower of Babel was already packed with people.

Tens of thousands of inner disciples, and even many inner disciples' stewards and elders, have all gathered here.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the huge light screen floating above the Tower of Babel.

On the light screen, the battle inside the tower is being broadcast live!

The atmosphere was incredibly lively!

"That's incredible!"

"As expected of the Grand Elder's personal disciple!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yan's combat power is simply outrageous!"

Su Yu landed silently at the edge of the square, concealing his presence.

He didn't rush inside, but instead looked up at the huge light screen in mid-air.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

Since someone is scouting ahead, it's a good opportunity to observe the difficulty of this Tower of Babel.

Inside the light curtain.

It was a desolate, lifeless ruin of the starry sky.

The first floor of the Tower of Babel!

In the center of the ruins stood a young man dressed in a black robe with a resolute face.

The young man had bare arms, his muscles bulging, and he held a heavy, black, blunt sword, as big as a door panel, upside down in his hand.

His body was engulfed in a strange, dark red flame.

Even the surrounding void was violently distorted by the scorching flames.

"Lin Yan?"

Su Yu raised an eyebrow as he listened to the discussions among the surrounding disciples.

"The Grand Elder's personal disciple?"

"Who is the strongest contender for first place in the inner sect competition three months from now?"

Su Yu became interested.

He looked up at the light screen and saw a row of golden characters formed by an array next to the broadcast image, clearly displaying the public information of the trial participants.

Su Yu's gaze swept over them.

"Life: Lin Yan"

"Bone age: 20,000 years."

"Realm, peak of the Constant Star level, without a condensed black hole."

"Accumulated amount of primordial blood..."

Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Two million drops!"

Two million drops of source blood!

This data, if presented to the outside world, would be an absolutely terrifying amount of information that would leave countless people speechless.

It should be noted that an ordinary martial artist can attempt to break through to the Black Hole level by condensing one million drops of Origin Blood.

Lin Yan actually suppressed his cultivation level and accumulated two million drops of Origin Blood!

The exclamations of the inner disciples in the square confirmed Su Yu's observations.

"Senior Brother Lin Yan is too ruthless!"

"Two million drops of source blood! And he can still resist breaking through!"

"Nonsense! What Senior Brother Lin Yan is plotting is the most perfect Primordial Black Hole!"

"The Grand Elder has already declared that Senior Brother Lin Yan is suppressing his cultivation level in order to absolutely crush all the geniuses in the Inner Sect Competition three months from now and win the spot for the Primordial Origin Baptism!"

"Once he obtains the Primordial Origin, he can instantly condense a Primordial Black Hole of the highest quality using his invincible base of two million Origin Blood!"

"By then, he will undoubtedly be the number one person of our Divine Martial Sect in this generation!"
