Chapter 689: The Lord's Arrival (Thanks to book friend 20220510150647963)

The Nie Lian Divine Lord said coldly, "Magnetic Pole! For the sake of the people of this world, we can no longer tolerate your nonsense today."

Magnet's gaze was cold as he looked at this man from Heavenly Demon University, a man of great prestige in the weapon-refining world, a former veteran Nascent Soul disciple, a judge for multiple weapon-refining competitions, the former vice-principal of Heavenly Demon University, and now the president of Heavenly Demon University...

With a low roar from Ci Ji, the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Towers appeared one by one behind him, suppressing the surrounding spiritual world and blocking the outflow of information.

"You wicked lotus! You dare to talk to me about the fate of the world?"

"The demonic sect and evil gods launched a fierce attack, and it was I who devised defensive lines, placing Lord Qingmu at the forefront and building fortifications to hold them back. Yet you are only thinking about seizing profits and plundering spoils. When have you ever thought about Kunxu? When have you ever thought about the common people?"

"I exhausted all my assets to repair the Boundary-Breaking Cone and break through the spatial blockade, yet you all stir up trouble right under my nose every day. You either have people investigate me, publish news to scold me, or send people to fight against my subordinates. In the end... it's all about stealing my Boundary-Breaking Cone."

As he spoke, the God of Tianri Huang appeared behind the God of Ci Ji with a blazing light, and his eyes, carrying the aura of the immortal sect's Liuli Pure Fire, swept towards the gods.

"But now we face a formidable enemy!"

"What are you still stirring up?" Magnetism God Lord cursed, "Are you only satisfied when you've destroyed all five levels of Kunxu, bankrupted all ten universities, and left me with an enormous debt after the Heavenly Court returns, and I'm dismissed from my post, my property confiscated, and left with a staggering debt?"

However, Lord Nie Lian looked at her without flinching, the Heavenly Demon Banner behind him suddenly expanded and flew up, countless ghosts roared fiercely in it, and the power it burst out competed with the Nine Heavens Yuanyang Tower, each occupying half of the spiritual world at the scene.

"Magnetic pole! Stop making excuses!" Lord Nielian shouted, "It's been five months! Our top ten universities have been stuck here for five months, burning through five months' worth of money... This time you must hand over the item and give us an explanation."

"Otherwise, we could just convene a Nascent Soul Conference and vote on a new plan, whether it's our cold storage plan or the fortress plan for the immortal soldiers. Both would be better than you just letting things drag on like this."

As Lord Nie Lian spoke, the gods of the three universities of Youming, Baigu and Hehuan also expressed their agreement.

“Magnetic pole, it’s not that we don’t want to support you, but so much time has passed and we haven’t seen any results. It’s hard not to raise suspicions, and we don’t know how to explain it to the school.”

“Magnetic Pole, if you encounter any problems in your research, just bring it up and let's work on it together. Nie Lian is also a master of weapon crafting; it's better to have him help you than to work alone in isolation.”

"I think the Lord of Evil Lotus should be put in charge of the Boundary-Breaking Cone. His weapon-refining ability is even better than that of the Magnetic Pole. He also said that all his research on space technology will be open source."

Cangshi Shenjun of Tianyao University chuckled and said, "Magnetic Pole, if you're worried about them, you can send the Boundary-Breaking Cone to me. I'll test it for everyone, and I guarantee it will be fair and objective, with Tianyao University's reputation as my guarantee."

At the same time, the incarnations of King Kong, Immortal Soldiers, and Heavenly Swords also sent messages to the Lord of Magnetic Pole.

“Magnetic Pole, it’s not that we don’t support you, but you have to show some results.”

"Magnetic Pole, just publish the design blueprints of the Boundary-Breaking Cone and shut them up. I guarantee that even if our Immortal Soldier University gets the blueprints, we will never copy your magic weapon."

Just then, the Nascent Soul cultivator from Dan Ding University coughed and said, "Everyone, with a formidable enemy at hand, let's not spoil the harmony..."

The Evil Lotus God coldly stared at the Magnetic Pole and said, "Magnetic Pole, speak, what are your plans?"

As the gazes of the Nascent Soul cultivators turned towards him, each gaze seemed to carry immense weight, like towering mountains pressing down on the Magnetic Extreme God.

...

In the university town of Wanfa University.

Le Mulan ran forward quickly, holding a bag of medicine in her hand, chasing after the flying boat where Zhang Yu was.

She didn't know what Zhang Yu was going to do on the front lines, nor how she could help him. All she wanted was to give him the potions she had saved before he left.

Looking at the potions sent by Le Mulan, Zhang Yu knew that most of them were better than nothing for him who had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Fu Ji said impatiently, "Too weak. What's the difference between this and a kitten or puppy bringing you its favorite food? Humph, this Le Mulan is no longer of any use. Why bother with her? Zhang Yu, on the path of immortality, you must learn to socialize upwards. Friends who can't keep up are not our friends."

Zhang Yu ignored Fu Ji, smiled slightly at Le Mulan, accepted the potion, and then placed a palm on Le Mulan's body, transferring a stream of magical power to her.

"Mu Lan, wait for me to come back and help you improve your cultivation."

Zhang Yu knew that Le Mulan's Dao Seed 'Deep Frost Vein' required 5000 mana and 250% more mana quality to upgrade.

With the other party's current Jindan cultivation level, he is not far from this data.

"A level 3 Deep Frost Vein... I should be able to protect it now."

Zhang Yu boarded the flying boat, and the next moment, accompanied by a series of booming sounds, the flying boat soared into the sky, shooting towards the large void between the second and third floors.

Zhang Yu on the flying boat naturally didn't waste any time. For him, who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, there were still many areas where he needed to work hard, improve, and make up for his shortcomings.

After cultivating Kunlun in the Palm to level 40, Zhang Yu next chose to improve his mental method.

He was seen sitting cross-legged in the quiet room of the flying boat, his mind having already escaped into the spiritual world and arrived in the realm of Taiqing.

Zhang Yu planned to use the time acceleration of the Taiqing Realm to cultivate his second mental technique, 'Boundless Inner Dharma Body'.

This dark technique has the effect of increasing the speed of thinking, multitasking, and multiple thinking.

At level 10, he was able to do two things at once, and at level 20, he had quadruple thinking. When Zhang Yu upgraded his skills to level 30 in the Golden Core stage, he already had eighth-level thinking.

Unlike the Body-Body-Slaying Technique of the Crippled Ox, which involves physical strength, the Boundless Inner Body Technique, as a purely spiritual cultivation method, allows for faster cultivation through the time acceleration of the Taiqing Realm. Zhang Yu had already proven this during his cultivation at both the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.

At this moment, with the repeated operation of his mental method, Zhang Yu's mental method level began to increase rapidly, from level 30 all the way to level 31 and level 32.

When he was about to reach the big cave, he had already upgraded this skill to level 35 in one go.

The eight white bulls in my mind roared one after another, as if they were looking forward to splitting again and turning into sixteen white bulls.

Zhang Yu still remembers that when he was in the foundation-building stage, he could control dozens of罡气 clones by himself.

And now, with the improvement of computing power in his mind, coupled with the 16-level thinking of the future 40-level mental method, he can manipulate a large number of magic weapons by himself, and he is like a legion.

If a large number of soul cultivators can be matched to operate, the destructive power and creativity generated will increase dramatically.

Zhang Yu opened his eyes after exiting the Taiqing Realm, looked at the reminder that appeared in his eye sockets, and thought to himself, "Are we almost there?"

At the same time, his eyes moved and he saw a figure appear in front of him.

It was a humanoid figure that resembled Zhang Yu, but whose entire body seemed to be made of clouds and mist, with layers of air waves constantly surging around it.

As Zhang Yu's mind moved, the clouds and mist behind the figure surged, and hundreds of arms made of clouds and mist emerged.

But the next moment, as Zhang Yu's mind changed, these arms disappeared into the clouds.

This figure is Zhang Yu's Nascent Soul. In addition to perfectly inheriting Zhang Yu's physical strength, it can also transform into thousands of hands and feet at any time to release its own power and display all kinds of martial arts mastered by Zhang Yu.

In particular, the immortal martial art Kunlun in the Palm, through the blessing of the 10 strange meridians in the Nascent Soul body, coupled with the effect of the Nascent Soul mobilizing the vital energy of heaven and earth, can further enhance the power of Kunlun in the Palm.

More importantly, Zhang Yu felt that his Nascent Soul, as a part of his body, could also exert the authority of the descendants of immortals and open entrances and exits to space on his Nascent Soul's body.

"In this way, my Nascent Soul can also perform the combined attack of Kunlun in the Palm and the Immortal Descendant."

At the same time, Zhang Yu's body at this moment is very different from the past. Every bit of flesh and blood has been completely integrated with magic power. The 13 levels of Taoism have formed a series of special physical expression factors, and finally turned into a rare physical magical power.

According to the data retrieved after Zhang Yu's breakthrough, this kind of physical magical power is not only extremely rare, but also often manifested in the descendants of demons.

This physical power is called the Formless Self-Destined Body, which grants extremely strong resistance to similar attacks within a short period of time. It is said that a cultivator possessing this physical power will only be severely damaged by the same attack once in a battle.

Just then, as Zhang Yu was adapting to the power after his Nascent Soul breakthrough, another message appeared before him: a notice about a comprehensive upgrade of Zhang Yu's treatment, including improvements to his laboratory and dormitory, as well as funding, internet access, and supplies.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It must be that Teacher Magnet urged me to improve my treatment, right?"

In addition to this, according to the new wartime policy, all the expert-level skills in the school are open to him free of charge. All the military-grade skills of the weapon refining department, as well as the design drawings of magic skeletons and magic weapons, can all be purchased with only 10 spirit coins.

Looking at these, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think of the effort and time he had put in in the past to acquire a military-grade martial art.

"As expected... chaos is a ladder."

"In peacetime, acquiring all the military-grade knowledge of weapon crafting wouldn't be so easy."

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering this, his student loan was issued.

...

Although Zhang Yu did not take the final examination for graduate school, he still achieved excellent results and received a scholarship and loan.

Although all the resources for cultivation were taken care of by Magnet and Green Wood during his seclusion, Zhang Yu's bank account still received transfers from time to time.

Looking at the cold 2,000-plus spirit coins in his account, Zhang Yu felt that it still wouldn't be enough.

"After all, all my magical artifacts are only level 20 now, and they're all waiting to be upgraded to level 40."

Zhang Yu knew that this alone would cost more than two thousand spirit coins, which made him sigh, "Sure enough, the higher one's cultivation level, the more one earns, but the more one spends."

"Money...you can never earn enough."

"That's why we need to take advantage of the current situation and leverage more resources."

At the very bottom of the notice is information about applying for a Taoist name.

Lord Qingmu: You've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, hurry up and apply for a Daoist title!

Lord Qingmu: What kind of Nascent Soul cultivator doesn't even have a Daoist title? That's outrageous!

Zhang Yu ascended to the Spirit Realm and arrived at the interface for applying for a Daoist title.

He thought to himself, "That's true. If I don't have a Daoist title, how will others know that I have entered the Nascent Soul stage? And how will they call me True Lord?"

So Zhang Yu entered a Taoist name he had chosen: Moral True Lord.

"The Taoist name you applied for is already taken. Would you like to rename it? We suggest you change it to True Lord of Stealing, True Lord of Guiding Virtue, or True Lord of Reversing the Way..."

Seeing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think to himself, "Damn it... someone has already taken over the moral code? Can you even handle such a prestigious title?"

Zhang Yu had no choice but to submit a new Taoist name.

Myriad Laws True Lord, Heavenly True Lord, Heavenly Mandate True Lord, Kunlun True Lord, Extreme Tiger True Lord, Local True Lord... As Zhang Yu submitted each Daoist title, it was repeated again and again.

"Damn it... someone already took the name of Jihu?" Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Two-character Daoist titles are too easy to be repeated. When will the Heavenly Court allow three- or four-character Daoist titles?"

"Maybe," Fu Ji said. "With so many Golden Core and Nascent Soul certificates issued this time, perhaps when the Heavenly Court descends, they will open up more Daoist titles with more characters. At that time, you can pay to add characters."

Zhang Yu thought for a while, and finally filled in a Taoist name, so that he would not repeat himself.

"True Lord Zhuyi?" Upon seeing this Daoist title, Fu Ji's heart stirred, and she said, "He even deliberately included the character 'Yu' in it?"

She thought to herself, "Hmm, it's both fiery and bright. Is it trying to shine brightly and become famous throughout the world? But the character 'candle' also seems to have a feeling of releasing light in the darkness, somewhat like the immortal techniques this kid is using."

After completing the application for the Taoist name, Zhang Yu took a screenshot and posted it on his Moments.

"Perfect timing... it's time to announce my return."

As Zhang Yu posted this circle of friends, the number of likes immediately increased rapidly, and various friends, classmates, fellow villagers, and subordinates also sent congratulations to Zhang Yu.

Zhao Tianxing: Congratulations to True Lord Zhuyi on his emergence from seclusion! [Fireworks][Fireworks][Fireworks]

Yingxin: My Lord! I haven't heard your teachings for over five months, and I'm extremely anxious!

Ye Xingli: True Lord, it's good that you're back. I'll return the company to you in a couple of days.

Looking at his friends' replies, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: "I never thought that after becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch, seeing these titles would make me feel distance and alienation at first."

Zhang Yu replied to Ye Xingli: Senior Sister, you will always be my Senior Sister. Just call me Junior Brother, there's no need to address me as True Lord.

Then he sent messages to Zhao Tianxing, Ying Xin, and others, telling them to use the same way they always addressed him.

Shi Huaiyu immediately became excited upon seeing the post on WeChat Moments: "Zhang Yu has emerged from seclusion? Is there going to be good news?"

Feng Tingting looked at Zhang Yu's WeChat Moments and was shocked: "Zhang Yu broke through to the Nascent Soul stage? Did he break through when he was talking to me before? Was I too negligent back then? How should I apologize to the True Lord?"

Kuang Tianqing's gaze sharpened: "He broke through to the Nascent Soul realm in just over a year?"

This further confirmed Kuang Tianqing's suspicions: "The more I look at Zhang Yu, the more he seems like a reincarnated immortal, or perhaps he possesses the memories of an immortal. Let me test him again..."

Kuang Tianqing's test method is also very simple, that is to offer oneself to the bed.

After more than a year of adaptation, Kuang Tianqing gradually understood a truth, that is, his body, which had been taught by eight gods, had a great appeal to the cultivators in this world.

"If Zhang Yu doesn't have the memories of an immortal, he'll definitely want to cultivate me."

"If he's not interested in me, and considering his past behavior... then he might really be a reincarnated immortal."

On the other side, looking at the messages sent one by one, Zhang Yu responded one by one with a smile.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the flying boat pause and actually stopped.

"Are we there yet?"

Zhang Yu came to the upper level of the flying boat, and the large cavity between the 2nd and 3rd levels of Kunxu appeared in front of him.

This was also his second time coming here after following the Magnetic God into battle.

What I saw was like a huge hole between heaven and earth.

A big hole appeared simultaneously in the sky of the second layer of Kunxu and on the ground of the third layer.

Surrounding this enormous void, on the three layers of land all around, strongholds, fortresses, and fortresses were built one after another.

At this moment, countless flying boats lined up in a long queue, preparing to pass through the large void to travel between the second and third floors.

Almost every airship has to undergo inspection, and there are also tolls, taxes, and other matters to be paid.

Looking at the long queue, Zhang Yu couldn't help but frown slightly: "How long will we have to wait in line?"

Just then, Lord Qingmu asked Zhang Yu where he was. After hearing Zhang Yu's answer, he smiled slightly and said, "Go straight in."

“You are no longer a Golden Core cultivator; Nascent Soul True Monarchs can pass directly.”

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, and the next moment he ordered his men to maneuver the flying boat out of the crowd and fly directly towards the Great Void.

As soon as his flying boat moved, another flying boat intercepted it and blocked Zhang Yu.

Mu Qiansi stepped out, her eyes revealing information about the flying boat and its passengers. She thought to herself, "The flying boat of the Myriad Laws... Hmm? Zhang Yu?"

As a prodigy of Hehuan University, Mu Qiansi was also a player in Zhang Yu's Top Ten League, and had once played against Zhang Yu.

Mu Qiansi never lost her desire to challenge Zhang Yu, the final champion.

Especially after the great changes in the world and Mu Qiansi's breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, her fighting spirit was ignited.

"Although I am not as good as Zhang Yu or Kuang Tianqing in the Foundation Establishment stage, once I enter the Golden Core stage, I may not be unable to catch up with them in this chaotic world."

She even thought that Zhang Yu would have to spend a lot of time practicing and comprehending the immortal skills, and she might be able to enter the Nascent Soul realm before him in the future.

Of course, although she has the fighting spirit and the desire to challenge, it doesn't mean that Mu Qiansi will take the initiative to provoke or fight Zhang Yu. Unless necessary, she will not easily pay the price to fight.

However, the incarnations of the four Tianmo schools are now targeting the Lord of Magnetic Pole, and the teachers and students of the four schools have also begun to target Wanfa University.

Today, the majestic figure of Mu Qiansi guarded the pass. When he saw a flying boat of myriad laws suddenly jump out of the formation, he immediately stopped it.

When she discovered that Zhang Yu was the only passenger on the airship, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised, thinking to herself, "I heard that Zhang Yu has been missing for several months. Why has he suddenly appeared here? Could it be that Wanfa is about to make some move again?"

Thinking of this, Mu Qiansi immediately decided to take the opportunity to dig out some information about the other party, so that perhaps she could make a contribution to Hehuan University in the current struggle between the two Nascent Soul cultivators.

So Mu Qiansi walked forward with a cold look in her eyes and said to Zhang Yu, "Young man, would you please cooperate with us for an examination?"

Zhang Yu looked at Mu Qiansi and said with a faint smile, "As far as I know, according to the rules, a cultivator of your level is not qualified to use the word 'inspection' with me."

After saying that, Zhang Yu made no attempt to hide it and directly revealed the Daoist title 'True Lord Candlelight' above his head.

Looking at the four-character Taoist title, Mu Qiansi's breath caught in her throat. She felt as if each character carried the weight of a thousand pounds, and each character seemed to be shining brightly, so brightly that she couldn't open her eyes.

"Nascent Soul?!"

"Zhang Yu has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"So fast? How could it be so fast?!"

Staggered back several steps by the light of the Nascent Soul, Mu Qiansi composed herself and quickly bowed, saying, "I didn't know it was... True Lord Zhang who has arrived. Please forgive me, True Lord Zhang."

Zhang Yu nodded and stopped talking.

The next moment, the flying boat, bearing the title of 'True Lord Candlelight', passed through the Great Void without hindrance, leaving behind countless onlookers taking photos and screenshots, as well as Mu Qiansi with a look of melancholy.

"It's that Nascent Soul True Monarch bullying people again!"

"Damn it, they dare to inspect a Nascent Soul cultivator's flying boat? They really have no eyes."

"Nascent Soul cultivators should be thoroughly humiliated by Golden Core cultivators. Why didn't that True Monarch Zhuyi humiliate the Golden Core cultivator before leaving?"

Obviously, in the eyes of bystanders, Yuanying should have privileges, should not have to queue, and should be able to humiliate Jindan.

After Zhang Yu arrived at a fortress in the Great Cave, Lord Qingmu appeared directly in front of him.

Looking at the Qingmu God who came hurriedly, Zhang Yu also felt the gloom between the other's brows.

"teacher……"

Aoki God waved his hand and pulled Zhang Yu away, saying, "There's no time to say more, let's get started."

He chatted privately with Zhang Yu and asked: Let me find out from you first. After you broke through the Nascent Soul stage, has your ability to break through the space blockade improved?

Zhang Yu nodded and replied: "Of course, there has been great progress."

Lord Qingmu: Alright, may I use my Nascent Soul to perform this?

Zhang Yu: Yes

During the questioning and answering, Lord Qingmu led Zhang Yu to a secret room and pointed to the drill in front of him, saying, "Zhang Yu, if you trust me, put your nascent soul in it and do as I instruct you later."
