Why Cultivate Immortality When You're Broke?

Old Man: "Do you wish for revenge?"

Young Man: "I was humiliated repeatedly by the strong, treated as worthless trash by my master. How could I not want revenge?"

Chapter 742 Money Can Move Gods (Thanks to "Heaven's Mandate Above SSR" for the Silver Alliance donation)

As the eye spanning thousands of miles appeared in the sky, Zhang Yu's eyes twitched wildly.

Like a phone that has been switched off for a long time being turned on again, a large number of notifications, advertisements, and messages appeared in my eyes in turn: notifications from the gods, payment information from the spirit world, warnings from the heavenly court, and intelligent advertisements from the spirit world that had been dormant for a long time...

The wildly flickering light and shadow... it was as if it was trying to cram in all the news that hadn't been received in the past dozen months, almost obscuring Zhang Yu's eyes as he looked up at the sky.

In the next instant, the sky that represented the Great Annihilation Final Scenery Seal shattered completely, and the face manifested by Fu Xiantian also shattered with a crash.

Immediately afterwards... a truly enormous hand that blotted out the sky reached out from the shattered sky, and with a gentle squeeze, it scooped up countless fragments of the sky into its palm.

At this moment, countless people in the world witnessed this shocking scene, especially when they recalled how the sky, which countless people had tried their best to hold up, had just been taken away. They couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.

The Magnetic God also watched this scene, thinking to himself, "One move... and he took away the Great Annihilation Final Scenery Mystic Seal? It seems that a great god from the Heavenly Court has personally descended to the mortal realm."

At the same time, beams of light fell from the sky, about to pierce through the second to fifth levels of heaven and earth in the blink of an eye. These were countless righteous gods descending from the sky, about to take over this world once again.

At the edge of the sky, even more gates appeared, from which mysterious and noble figures emerged, looking towards the current 2nd to 5th floors.

A thought struck Xinghuo Zhenjun: "Have people from the sect come too?"

At this very moment when the world was undergoing another great change, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and he discovered that the shattered sky, the falling giant hand, the descending righteous god, the chaotic five levels... had all disappeared.

He found himself in a secret room, and standing before him was the figure of Fu Xiantian?

But the next moment, Zhang Yu instantly realized, thinking to himself, "No, this isn't reality, this is... Fu Xiantian's memories?"

Zhang Yu realized that what was in front of him was another memory passed down to him by Fu Xiantian. He had only "remembered" this memory for a moment, and in the real world, the process of "remembering" was only a short instant.

The Fu Xiantian before them was the same Fu Xiantian speaking to a mirror.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Did he pass on to me a memory of talking to himself in front of a mirror?"

The other party then said, "Zhang Yu, since you have obtained this part of my memory, it seems that the Heavenly Court has successfully descended ahead of schedule, while I have ultimately failed."

He sighed helplessly and said softly, "My personal failure is nothing, it's just a pity that it has hindered Master's plans."

After saying that, he looked solemnly into the mirror, his gaze seemingly transcending the barriers of memory and time, looking directly at Zhang Yu at this moment.

"In the end, I am too weak. It is precisely because of this weakness that I can only try to lead people from the 2nd to 5th floors to create a new world."

"It was precisely because of this weakness that I understood from the very beginning that I might face failure, but no matter what, someone had to try."

With a sigh, Fu Xiantian looked at Zhang Yu and continued earnestly, "But compared to my attempt... the other option is much more difficult."

"Climbing upwards, climbing to the highest point of Kunxu, and then changing Kunxu from top to bottom, may be the most correct method, but it is also the most difficult and impossible method. It is much more difficult than taking away six layers, destroying two to five layers, joining a sect, or ascending to immortality... It is so difficult that it is almost impossible to achieve."

"After all, under the existing system of Kunxu and the Dao lineage of the Ten Immortal Emperors, it is already extremely difficult to climb to the top using the methods and techniques of Kunxu."

"And to blend in with the world while preserving one's original aspirations, and to persevere and endure all this is even more difficult."

"But as I just said, even if it's destined to fail, someone has to try."

Fu Xiantian walked forward step by step, making Zhang Yu feel as if the other party was getting closer and closer to him.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but you do have a potential that is one in a million. There are probably quite a few cultivators who have the same potential, and even those who have gained the appreciation of immortals because of it."

"But you are the only person I've ever met who possesses this potential and still wants to change Kunxu."

"If you are willing to try again in the future, don't forget the choice you made today, don't forget what you are thinking right now..."

"at last……"

As the memories before him gradually faded, Fu Xiantian's last words also surfaced in Zhang Yu's mind.

"The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor can be trusted for now. If he helps you, don't hesitate..."

When Zhang Yu came to his senses, Fu Xiantian's figure had completely disappeared.

At the same time, beams of divine light converged before Zhang Yu, eventually transforming into a tall, magnificent figure that exuded an incomparably noble aura while shrouded in divine light.

Looking at this figure, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "A god born of all living beings..."

Zhang Yu last saw this great deity from the Department of Ten Thousand People, one of the eight departments of Heaven, at the Top Ten Leagues awards ceremony.

However, at that time, the other party was merely a projection, which, although equally noble, lacked a sense of reality.

But at this moment, feeling the constant pressure emanating from the other party, the ever-exploding and increasingly intense heat, and the fragments of the sky and the Great Annihilation Final Scenery Mystic Seal suppressed in the other party's hands...

All of this seemed to be telling Zhang Yu that what appeared before him was not a projection, but a real entity, an entity that was incredibly powerful, so powerful that it was beyond his comprehension.

Zhang Yu immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to the Great God of All Beings..."

The great deity before him lifted Zhang Yu slightly, looking at him with admiration: "Hehe, Zhang Yu, you truly deserve to be the champion of that year's Top Ten Leagues. You have not disappointed the Heavenly Court's expectations of you back then."

"However, some procedures still need to be followed."

"Don't be nervous during the upcoming investigation. Just tell me what's going on. No matter what happens, I'll keep you safe."

The next moment, Zhang Yu and the figure of the God of All Beings disappeared into the sky together.

...

At the same time, not only did Zhang Yu disappear, but with the descent of divine light, the original Zhou Tian Milky Way Array was forcibly shut down.

The Nascent Soul Divine Lords within the great formation, including Magnetism Divine Lord, Green Wood Divine Lord, Evil Lotus Divine Lord, as well as Chain Pivot Divine Lord and Treasure Pass Divine Lord from the Righteous Alliance, were all directly taken away by a pair of large hands and disappeared without a trace.

Outside the Zhou Tian Milky Way Formation, countless cultivators saw the notification from the True God, ordering everyone to stay put and not move around at will.

Looking at the figures of the righteous gods in the sky, Dazhuan Zhenjun felt a strong sense of unease.

"The Heavenly Court... has descended after all?"

"Should we run now?"

Just as the True Lord of the College was lost in thought, he saw a figure soar into the sky in the distance, ignoring the warnings and attempting to fly away.

Seeing that figure soar into the sky and then transform into hundreds of clones scattering in all directions, the Great Master True Monarch's heart tightened: "Devouring Heaven True Monarch?"

But the next moment, beams of divine light in the sky transformed into chains, tightly binding each of the clones.

"Ha!" Devouring Heaven True Monarch bared his fangs and roared, causing the earth to tremble.

But in the blink of an eye, as the chains of divine power tightened, his magical power, inner energy, blood and qi, and even his various martial arts and Taoist techniques were completely suppressed.

The earthquake, high temperature, and gravitational pull of the earth element that had just been triggered were all smoothed out, as if nothing had ever happened.

Seeing the Devouring Heaven True Lord being dragged away, the Great Master True Lord immediately gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

At the same time, True Monarch Liujin sighed, "Silly monkey, with the great god of the Myriad People Tribe personally descending, who can escape?"

His gaze swept across the sky, and he sighed again, "Not only the original gods from the 2nd to 5th floors, but even the gods from the 7th to 9th floors have come down to help. This time, the Heavenly Court is really serious... Sigh, none of them will escape."

Thinking of this, his eyes began to twitch, prompting the Great Master beside him to ask, "What are you doing?"

Liu Jin Zhenjun glanced at him and said, "Sell your Nascent Soul, Golden Core... everything you can sell, and then buy Feather Debt."

The College Student True Monarch exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

Liu Jin Zhenjun said, "Many people will be selling their assets soon. The sooner you sell, the less you will lose. Feather Bonds will probably close soon, so hurry up and buy now. You'll make a profit no matter how much you buy."

"The more debts you have, the more money you have, and the easier it will be to negotiate with the true gods later."

...

A quiet room.

After Zhang Yu was brought here by the God of All Beings, the other party disappeared. Then two righteous gods arrived and began to question him.

One of the main deities was named Xin Chou Gui, a dignified man with a full beard.

The other person was someone Zhang Yu knew, Deng Bingding, who had once presided over the Foundation Establishment exam on the first floor and later rose to the second floor.

Like most of the other gods currently patrolling levels 2 to 5, the two righteous gods descended under the guidance of the innate great god of all beings. They know very little about the current situation on levels 2 to 5 and are still in the stage of collecting data and investigating intelligence.

Deng Bingding smiled at Zhang Yu: "True Lord Zhuyi, there's no need to be nervous. We're just doing our routine business and have some questions for you."

Although Xin Chou Gui from the 9th floor was not as gentle, he put aside his arrogance when he saw the cultivator who was personally sent by the God of All Beings. He calmly said, "True Lord Zhu Yi, then please tell me about your experiences during this period after the 6th floor disappeared."

He also cautioned, "We will cross-examine each other based on other people's testimonies and the monitoring records of the Divine Power Network, so please think carefully before you speak."

...

On the other side, Wang Yin looked at the changes in the sky and was overjoyed: "The Heavenly Court has descended? We've won!"

Thinking about how he had survived, how his mother had survived, and how he could earn profits from the Feather Bonds in the future, Wang Yin became more and more excited.

"I should have bought more Feather Bonds!"

But at that moment, he discovered that he and many others from the University of the Underworld had been added to a group chat.

Then someone sent them a notice demanding that they hand over all kinds of documents, data, permissions, and passwords related to the laboratory and the company.

Wang Yin's heart sank as he read the contents of the notice: "These are... people from a sect? They've come down with the Heavenly Court too?"

"Judging from this, are they going to take over space technology companies and laboratories? Or even the entire university?"

...

Upon seeing the sect representative arrive, Kuang Tianqing knelt down with practiced ease and exclaimed, "Welcome, Senior Brother Shangzong, to the mortal realm to guide our work!"

Seeing this, the other teachers and students around also immediately knelt down.

The next moment, everyone's eyes widened as a call invitation popped up, but it required a fee of 1 spirit coin.

While watching this scene, the crowd cursed the other party for being shameless, and then paid the fee and listened to what the other party had to say.

The sect representative nodded slightly and continued, "During the period of disconnection, you carried out a lot of messy projects without the sect's approval and misappropriated a lot of school property."

"The purpose of my visit is to sort out the situation and ultimately report it to the sect for a final decision..."

After the sect representatives left, someone next to Kuang Tianqing said resentfully, "Damn it, we finally defeated the Righteous Alliance, but now the sects are coming down to steal our spoils, and we have to act like cowards."

Kuang Tianqing said indifferently, "What do you mean by pretending to be a grandson? We are grandsons, no... you think you can be someone else's grandson? Don't you even know if they're willing to?"

“If it’s just about splitting up a new company or taking away shares in the new company, you should be happy. At least you won’t be punished for all sorts of violations and infringements.”

He sighed inwardly, "The sects... when they were in power, they might have behaved themselves. But now that they've finally been put down, especially at a time like this... I'm afraid many of them are lawless and reckless, wanting to take this opportunity to extract huge profits."

...

Inside the Immortal Soldier University.

A child's figure skipped and hopped along, then suddenly pointed to a building below and said, "Grandpa, I want this company! The one that makes the Void Box."

"Nonsense!"

The old man next to him slapped the child on the head and scolded, "Grandpa saw this first, how dare you try to take it? Grandson, wait until you're the grandpa."

...

Inside the research institute's building, in the large hollow on the third floor of Kunxu, a figure was standing in the office of the Magnet God.

This is a girl who is over two meters tall, with a slender and well-proportioned body.

The girl's name, Yun Zhiguang, was flashing above her head.

Apart from that, there is no other information, and nothing can be seen; it seems that these three words are enough to explain everything.

Yun Zhiguang rubbed her eyes impatiently and said, "Using eye fragments in such a crappy place, how backward is that?"

However, looking at the data that kept popping up in her eyes, she suddenly laughed: "Magnetic poles did a good job. Not only did they set up this research institute, but they also started a space technology company. The Taixu Cloud Treasure they produce has a high market share."

"Oh? This Zhang Yu has performed quite well; he actually participated in the research and development and even oversaw the subsequent development of the Skybreaker..."

"Not bad, not bad. It seems we can recommend him for internal training and then hand over the management of the lower levels to him."

But soon, as she scanned through the messages about sending red envelopes across the sky, triple wages, and triple interest, Yun Zhiguang's brows furrowed tightly.

"That bastard."

Where is he now?

...

Xin Chou Gui and Deng Bing Ding listened silently as Zhang Yu recounted his experiences over the past dozen months, occasionally asking their own questions.

Zhang Yu was naturally prepared for this. After all, to deal with Fu Xiantian, they would have to face the arrival of the Heavenly Court, and Zhang Yu had already prepared a speech with Ciji, Qingmu, Yu Xinghan and others.

As they listened to Zhang Yu's story, the thoughts in the two righteous gods gradually began to stir.

At first, Zhang Yu focused on cultivation. Although his breakthroughs to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms were rapid, they only slightly surprised the two True Gods and did not shock them much.

After all, in the eyes of these two righteous gods, as long as there are enough spirit coins and abundant resources, it is never difficult for true geniuses to quickly break through to the Golden Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm.

Especially after this great change in the world, Zhang Yu easily obtained the Golden Core Certificate and the Nascent Soul Certificate, which meant he had passed the two most difficult hurdles. This was much easier than for those cultivators who had struggled to cultivate in the past but could not legally break through.

But soon, as Zhang Yu recounted the development of the Boundary-Breaking Cone and the Void Cloud Treasury, doubts began to arise in the hearts of the two righteous gods.

On the one hand, there was surprise at how quickly Zhang Yu mastered Kunlun, and on the other hand, there were questions about Zhang Yu's involvement in space technology research and development.

When they heard that Zhang Yu was showering red envelopes with money that seemed to shatter the heavens, their doubts deepened.

Xin Chou Gui couldn't help but ask, "True Lord Zhu Yi, are you sure the number you gave is correct?"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I don't think I have any reason to lie to you."

Xin Chou Gui and Deng Bing Ding exchanged a glance, and their gazes toward Zhang Yu gradually changed.

After hearing Zhang Yu recount the story of triple salaries, hiring people from all over the world, billions in subsidies, bonds with triple interest, and ultimately billions of spirit coins invested in the Divine Power Network, Xin Chou Gui's suspicions surged to an extreme.

Did they borrow hundreds of billions of spirit coins from everyone on the second to fifth floors of Kunxu? And then invest those hundreds of billions of spirit coins into the divine power network?

Xin Chou Gui felt that these words sounded like a dream, and at this moment he looked at Zhang Yu as if he were looking at a madman: "True Lord Zhu Yi, are you sure you are telling the truth?"

"You may not know this, but even without the control of the true gods, the divine power network will silently monitor and record everything that should be observed."

"And my colleagues are now collecting the data from it."

While Xin Chou Gui was talking to Zhang Yu, his thoughts connected with the spirit world, allowing him to exchange information with other righteous gods who were collecting information, checking accounts, repairing the spirit world, and inspecting the divine power network, thus accelerating the righteous gods' regaining control of the entire second to fifth level.

Zhang Yu understood the other party's shock and disbelief, and casually said, "Everything I said is true. You can check it all you want."

...

At the same time, the Magnetic God was also being questioned by the True God.

"The development of the Taixu Cloud Treasury was mainly due to Zhang Yu."

"His inspiration and creativity in weapon crafting, as well as many of his designs related to space technology, are in no way inferior to mine."

Looking at the righteous gods before him, Lord Nielian said calmly, "The decision to invest money in the research association, and later to support Zhang Yu, was made by me."

"If Zhang Yu hadn't used Qian Po Cang Qiong to smash open the sky with his spirit coins, this battle would have been lost without a doubt."

Yin Quan Shenjun said, "When I first heard that he was going to throw hundreds of billions of spirit coins to the poor, I was also shocked."

"But then I realized that I could eventually earn that money back."

"But Zhang Yu later issued 10 billion yuan in bonds, which was completely unexpected."

"Looking back now, this move of turning one's own debt into another's debt can be described as a unique act throughout the ages. In terms of both mindset and courage, it is something I have never seen before in my life."

"Once this matter is resolved, I need to learn a lot from him."

The Devouring Heaven True Monarch scoffed and shouted, "Everyone thinks that the demonic beasts controlled by Zhang Yu were bred by him."

"But I can tell that Zhang Yu has definitely stolen my Taoist techniques! He's stolen my clone technique!"

"He's infringing on copyrights, why haven't you arrested him yet!"

Looking at the weather ticket in front of him, Dazhuan Zhenjun felt his legs go weak and he couldn't help but kneel down: "No...it has nothing to do with me, this natural disaster has nothing to do with me."

"I... I'm just a high school student, who was promoted by evil gods. What do I know about talismans?"

"It's all Zhang Yu's fault. He must have used some method to frame himself and make his crime even more serious, which disrupted the divine power network and caused such great damage and waste."

In the spirit world, Zhao Tianxing felt as if he had awakened from an eternal dream.

He opened his eyes and was startled to see the gods before him.

The god asked curiously, "Why did you end up buying up almost all of your wealth into Feather Bonds, to the point that you can't even think straight anymore?"

Thinking of Zhang Yu, Zhao Tianxing seemed to suddenly have a pillar of support, and calmly said, "I believe in President Zhang."

Then, Zhao Tianxing began to recount his experiences over the past dozen months, as well as his various tasks in the spirit world.

...

Gengchen Yi is a fifth-rank deity who has been in charge of many affairs within the Wanfa University campus for many years.

Since the great changes in the world, the disappearance of the sixth level and the loss of contact with the fifth level, Gengchen Yi has ushered in his darkest moment.

The loss of control on floors 2 to 5 drew criticism.

His job was gone, leaving him to wander the 7th floor like a lost soul, enduring endless scorn and neglect.

Now that it has returned to Heaven's control, levels 2 to 5 are back under the control of Heaven, which has given Geng Chenyi a slight sense of relief.

After checking the records of the Divine Power Network, Geng Chenyi became increasingly excited.

"Ten billion!"

"Zhang Yu actually invested a full 10 billion spirit coins?"

Geng Chenyi, who had been feeling utterly hopeless, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope for a turnaround.

"Ten billion spirit coins. How many years would it take all the righteous gods on the second to fifth floors to achieve this? Yet Zhang Yu has brought it all in one go."

Geng Chenyi secretly calculated in his heart that with this sudden change in the world, the Heavenly Court not only did not lose money, but actually made a fortune.

After repeatedly confirming the accounts and all the flow of funds, he hurriedly wanted to see the God of All Beings.

At this moment, the Great God of All Beings looked at Zhang Pianpian and asked curiously, "You have quite the nerve."

"Don't stay on the lower level."

"Come back to Heaven with me."

...

Meanwhile, in the quiet room where Zhang Yu was.

Xin Chou Gui's eyes were filled with testimonies, evidence, and data from all sides... and all of these data proved one thing: Zhang Yu in front of him really spent hundreds of billions of spirit coins to cast the spell.

As a result, Xin Chou Gui and Deng Bing Ding's expressions changed repeatedly, gradually becoming more and more polite, more and more respectful, and more and more gentle. Their initially straight backs also unconsciously bent down.

Finally, Xin Chou Gui bowed to Zhang Yu and said, "True Lord Zhu Yi, thank you for your cooperation up to this point. Now that we have a better understanding of the situation, we'll be leaving now."

Shortly after the two righteous gods left, a name appeared before him.

Looking at the name that had been linked to him, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Yun Zhiguang? Who is that?"
