Chapter 677 (5300+, total 8650+, 340+ words short of 3 chapters)
The Thousand-armed and Thousand-footed Xi Shen said calmly, "So what?"
Although Xishen was surprised at the extent of Zhang Yu's progress, he did not think it was necessary to make a big fuss about it.
Xi Shen: "Xiang Shen, this battle cannot be decided by a Jindan or Yuanying."
"The situation is now in my favor. We just need to proceed step by step, starting from the fifth level and conquering each level one by one. At the same time, let the Dark Spirit Realm expand like a virus and gradually replace the Spirit Realm. Then, final victory is only a matter of time."
"We can clearly win by following the plan, so why bother creating complications and wasting our energy on Zhang Yu?"
Xi Shen's thousand hands and feet moved in a flurry, and he urged, "Give up, Xiang Shen."
"Zhang Yu is at Wanfa's base camp. If you want to eliminate him now, you need to send a large number of elite troops to penetrate deep behind enemy lines."
"Didn't you see how strong the protection he deployed this time was?"
Just like Zhang Yu’s previous purpose, the appearance of ten Yuanyings severely undermined Xi Shen’s enthusiasm for this action.
Xi Shen said calmly, "To successfully capture Zhang Yu and bring him to the upper levels, we'll probably have to deploy more than ten elite Nascent Souls behind enemy lines, or even a force at the level of Divine Transformation."
"If we suffer losses during the operation, and this affects the war above, slowing down the progress of the entire plan, that would truly affect our victory."
Although they can be resurrected with the help of the Dark Spirit Realm, the loss of various materials is loss. The four Nascent Souls need to restore their bodies, cultivation, Dharma bones, magic weapons... which requires a huge investment of resources.
Using such losses to deal with Zhang Yu was obviously an extremely unprofitable thing in Xishen's view, and it might even affect the entire plan.
Then he heard Xi Shen say calmly: "Xiang Shen, the overall situation is more important."
Despite Xi Shen's admonition, Xiang Shen insisted, "Zhang Yu's progress is too rapid, and he possesses the immortal sect's skills... Have you forgotten the moment when he quickly cultivated to the level of Kunlun in his palm in front of Dao Qiankun?"
"If he is allowed to grow unchecked, it will inevitably have an increasingly greater impact on the war."
"Especially... he is someone Dao Qiankun values, which in itself shows his importance."
"We should get rid of him as soon as possible."
"If you think capturing him alive would consume too many resources, then just kill him directly."
Hearing Xiang Shen's murderous voice, another evil god appeared beside him. "Since you trust Dao Qiankun's judgment, and Dao Qiankun invited him, does that mean he will become one of ours sooner or later? Perhaps there's no need for us to touch him at all."
Then, the breath of another cultivator in the Spiritualization Realm was heard: "Four Nascent Souls, the total loss to us is at least tens of thousands of spirit coins, and for them, it is at least a gain of tens of thousands of spirit coins."
"If we continue to invest, how much more will we lose? And how much will we gain for the other party?"
"It won't be long before we reach the second floor. We can do whatever we want to Zhang Yu then. Why risk huge losses now?"
Another voice rang out, "The loss of four Nascent Souls has slowed down the battle on my side. I do not agree to continue to fight against Zhang Yu."
Xi Shen's voice rang out: "In any case, we should take down floors 3 and 4 first. Once the army is assembled, we can deal with the second floor and Zhang Yu however we want."
Listening to the dissenting voices in the Dark Spirit Realm, Xiangshen said coldly, "Is the future Dao Qiankun desires the same as our choice? Is Zhang Yu, whom he values, truly not a threat to us? I don't think so."
After another argument, Xiangshen sighed, "What a bunch of short-sighted people! Just for a little bit of immediate benefit, you want to let go of such a huge threat?"
"You'll regret this."
Xi Shen said calmly, "Xiang Shen, if you want to continue to deal with Zhang Yu, I have no objection, but we will no longer support you."
"If you want to deal with him, do it on your own."
The colorful light around Xiangshen gradually dissipated, and his figure began to disappear bit by bit, leaving only the last voice echoing in the conference room.
"Don't worry."
"I would do the same thing without you telling me."
"It won't be long before you realize how correct my proposal today is."
…
Just when undercurrents were surging on all sides and the war was in full swing.
However, Zhang Yu continued to devote himself to his practice.
In the blink of an eye, another two months passed. His Dao heart grew to level 30, his magic power increased to 4235 units, and his physical strength reached level 30.00.
Today, Zhang Yu's Dao heart and physical body are both perfect, and both basic values have reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
In addition, with the injection of medicine again and again, a total of ten Dao foundations were completed. A large number of physical expression factors became active in his body, making his body stronger than ever before, and his resistance in all aspects increased dramatically. The so-called immunity to water and fire, and difficulty in being injured by lightning were no longer a problem.
Zhang Yu was confident that even a strong man at the same Jindan realm would find it difficult to kill him.
If one adds to this the power of Kunlun in his palm and the ability of the descendants of the immortals, then there are probably few people in the Golden Core Realm who can hurt him.
But this is still not Zhang Yu's limit. After all, the Purple Palace Golden Elixir allows him to establish the 12th level of the Dao foundation, and the Golden Elixir Holy Body gives him an additional level of the Dao foundation.
When he completes the 13 levels of Dao foundation in the future, the protective ability of his physical body will reach the peak of the Golden Core realm.
"After breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, one's Dao foundation can be refined into a physical magical power. I wonder what kind of physical magical power I can cultivate with my 13th-level Dao foundation?"
However, with the injection of large amounts of medicine, the physical expression factors became more and more active, and the difficulty of completing the new Taoist foundation became higher and higher.
Just like trying to squeeze more words onto a piece of paper already filled with words, Zhang Yu felt that the amount of medicine needed to complete the remaining three levels of Taoism had increased exponentially.
And Zhang Yu's response to this...
“Just throw money at it.”
Zhang Yu contacted Le Mulan and said, "Tell Yin Jiurao to buy as many potions as you can get. I'll take them at any price."
Today's drug prices have nearly doubled compared to two months ago, but for Zhang Yu, as long as the problem can be solved by spending money, then it's fine.
Especially with his strong background and the channels of Le Mulan and Yin Jiurao, he has been able to meet his daily medication needs in the past two months.
And Zhang Yu's income has skyrocketed at this moment.
First of all, there is the company's income.
Now, in addition to Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan whose strength is improving by leaps and bounds every day, Shi Huaiyu, Xiao Qingxuan and Shi Yunxiang have also successively obtained the Golden Core Certificate and officially entered the Golden Core realm.
There are a total of five Jindan employees, plus Yu Xinghan who obtained the military civil engineering certificate. With the help of the three-eye supernatural power, he quickly cultivated the Tian Kunlun mountain-moving power, becoming another employee besides Shi Huaiyu who mastered military-grade power.
The rapid growth of employees, coupled with the large-scale expansion of civil infrastructure in the overall environment, has led to a sharp increase in the company's revenue. With employees working overtime 24 hours a day, Zhang Yu can earn more than 200 spirit coins every month.
Zhang Yu: Director Tu, how is the new military certificate going?
Tulishan, who has become the deputy director of the Civil Engineering Department, replied embarrassedly: Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan’s military certificate was only issued to you last month, right?
Zhang Yu: My employees are working so hard, I can't let them down.
Tulishan: Xiao Qingxuan has already graduated, so it is not in accordance with the procedures to get a military certificate now.
Zhang Yu: I understand, I understand [500 Spirit Coins]
Zhang Yu: Sorry for the trouble, Teacher Tu
Tulishan: Oh, you have caused me so much trouble.
Tulishan has accepted the red envelope
Tulishan: It’s not that I want your money, it’s that this kind of thing, all the ups and downs have to go through one person.
Zhang Yu: I understand. After the matter is completed, I will give you a big reward.
After finishing all this, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "With the increase in military certificates, power has been decentralized. Originally, the higher-ups could decide who owned the military certificates, but now the department can decide."
Shortly after talking to Tulishan, Zhang Yu sent another message to Director Lin: Director Lin, why is the metamagnetic channel project stuck again?
Director Lin: Something went wrong with the project. The relevant personnel were investigated and punished for corruption. We are also in a passive position.
Zhang Yu: How can there be so many corrupt elements? Aren’t they just internal conflicts among other departments trying to grab projects?
Zhang Yu: I went to talk to the principal and asked him how the school construction could be delayed because of such a small matter.
After finishing the call with Director Lin, Zhang Yu heard Fu Ji's voice again.
"Tiansha Zhenjun from the Security Department, Tianzhang Zhenjun from the Talisman Department, Miaoshou Zhenjun from the Medical Department, and Taihe Zhenjun from the Investment Management Office, all have arrived for this month."
Zhang Yu looked at the more than 500 spirit coins on the account and nodded slightly in his heart: "Ah, all of these are great True Lords striving for the Divine Transformation Certificate, the pride of our Wanfa University."
In the past two months, in addition to True Lord Qingming, True Lords of Yuanying from other factions have also formed a relationship of interest transfer with Zhang Yu.
For example, the director of the Security Department, Tiansha Zhenjun, was once a well-known good guy in Wanfa University. It is said that after becoming the director of the Security Department, he never fought or killed anyone. He always smiled at everyone he met. He did not get angry even when scolded by Jindan Zhenren, but would smile and joke.
But since the start of this war, it is said that more than 10 Yuanying realm cultivators have died at his hands, hundreds of Jindan realm cultivators, and countless others in the foundation building and Qi refining stages. It is common for him to massacre colleges and kill the demon descendants.
It is said that his favorite thing to do is to surround the rebel army, but not kill them. He would use terrifying pressure to force the enemy to break through without permission, and then collect their bodies one by one to create the greatest profit.
There's also the talisman master Tian Zhang, who once worked with Zhang Yu on the Yin Instrument project for Ci Ji Zhen Jun. He's now in charge of the spiritual protection of various campuses, and it's said that some campuses have already been protected by him. After 500 years, he's also a key figure supporting Wanfa University.
The other medical department's Master of Magic Hands dominated the cadaver industry, leading to a mini-boom in the cadaver economy. The Investment Department's Master of Taihe reopened the financial sector, significantly aiding Wanfa University in integrating resources, resolving debt, and streamlining its workforce.
It can be said that each of these Yuanying True Lords has extraordinary abilities and amazing skills. Since the war began, they have squeezed a lot of profits for Wanfa University and provided a lot of resources for the four gods to practice in seclusion. They are also competitors of Qingming True Lord.
Watching this scene, Fuji couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, corruption is rampant in Kunxu nowadays, and the network of interests is everywhere. Fortunately, we have become a part of it."
"Zhang Yu, take this opportunity to accumulate strength."
At this moment, Zhang Yu was sitting cross-legged in the underground cemetery of Huilong Garden, practicing breathing techniques frantically, trying his best to absorb the spiritual ideas from all directions.
As the data of his Dao heart and physical strength have reached the peak level of the Golden Core, Zhang Yu's next goal is to improve his magic power, the quality of his magic power, and open up the strange scriptures.
If you want to improve your magic power, the first method is naturally to absorb more spiritual energy.
So Zhang Yu spent money to come to this underground spiritual vein, soaking in it all day long and breathing in and out, rapidly pushing his magic power to rise steadily.
In addition to the environment, Zhang Yu is also practicing a new breathing method, preparing to put together a new set of chain diagrams, called Infinite Mana Power.
"This chain diagram is composed of ten expert-level breathing techniques. Judging from its composition and the name 'Infinite Mana', it should be able to effectively increase the growth rate of my mana."
While practicing the breathing method, Zhang Yu did not forget to buy high-quality mana to absorb in order to increase the quality of his mana bit by bit.
But apart from that, he encountered trouble in opening up the extraordinary meridians.
"Ordinary golden elixirs can only open up eight extraordinary meridians at most, but I was able to open up nine extraordinary meridians by breaking through with the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir. Adding the effect of the Golden Elixir Saint Body, I can open up a total of ten extraordinary meridians."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The Qijing can strengthen a specific technique, and each Qijing has a combined and coordinated effect."
"The combination of the 8 Qijing is not difficult to find. Although the combination of the 9 Qijing is rare, it can also be found in the great library of all laws."
"But this combination of 10 unique scriptures isn't even in the Great Library?"
After searching in vain, Zhang Yu came to Taiqing Realm again.
In the soul-guiding pool, bubbles rose and fell, with countless pieces of information surging within them.
When Zhang Yu glanced over, he saw the words "The True Explanation of Thunder Talisman", "Nine-Splitting Palm Technique", "Three Harmonies True Fire Processing Technology", "Design Drawings of Dingshan Pearl"...
"There are a few more subjects, but they are of little use to me."
Zhang Yu knew that these were the knowledge, skills, drawings and other things that Zhang Pianpian collected from the dead souls while on business trips.
In the past two months, although Zhang Yu has been practicing in seclusion in the university town, Zhang Pianpian often goes out and often encounters battles, conflicts, and deaths.
So Zhang Yu came to the Soul-Guiding Pool from time to time to take a look, and he would find that there were several new skills and knowledge in it.
However, most of these skills are of no use to Zhang Yu, and the few that are useful are not worth him giving up his current practice to practice them specifically. They are just saved by Zhang Yu for the future.
After gaining nothing in Taiqing Realm, Zhang Yu came to the Dark Spirit Realm.
As soon as he entered the Dark Spirit Realm, Zhang Yu first completed today's sign-in and gained some righteousness points. Then, a reminder of the military-grade optional package appeared in his eyes.
Then he saw something like a book floating in front of him, with the names of military-grade martial arts constantly flashing and changing, waiting for Zhang Yu to choose.
This is the military-grade self-selected martial arts package that Zhang Yu won when he participated in the sign-in event last month.
However, since obtaining this self-selected package, Zhang Yu has been reluctant to open it.
It was simply because he had no time to practice other military-grade skills right now, and he was not sure what kind of military-grade skill he needed most, or was most suitable for him to choose.
So Zhang Yu simply kept this self-selected package for later use when needed.
After closing the self-selected package, Zhang Yu looked at the news about the divisions of the Dark Spirit Realm in front of him. As he saw more and more divisions and organizations, he could feel that after two months of vigorous development, the entire Dark Spirit Realm was becoming more and more prosperous.
"Although the school has banned spiritual connections everywhere in the past two months, prohibiting students from connecting to the outside spiritual world to prevent them from coming into contact with the dark spiritual world."
Zhang Yu knew that most areas of the entire university town were now in a local area network state. Unless ordinary students left the university town, it would be extremely difficult for them to have the opportunity to access information from the outside world.
"But this is just a temporary solution. It will not stop the spread of the Dark Spirit World."
After completing the sign-in, Zhang Yu began to search for the method of combining the ten great meridians that he needed.
The constant check-ins over the past two months have accumulated a lot of righteousness points for Zhang Yu. Part of it was used to exchange for evil power for Fu Ji to improve her strength, and the rest was kept by him, which is about 800 righteousness points.
Suddenly, his eyes flickered. "Got it! The method for opening up the ten great mystical sutras... Is this from Tianyao University?"
Zhang Yu's mind stirred: "Is it because the structure of demons and humans is different that the ten extraordinary meridians were created?"
Zhang Yu wanted to exchange it, but found that this thing actually required 2000 righteousness points.
So Zhang Yu withdrew from the Dark Spirit Realm and wanted to contact Tianyao University to see if he could buy it directly.
But at the same time, he did not give up the path of the Dark Spirit World, and continued to sign in online every day to accumulate positive energy points.
During this process, he would also take a look at what daily tasks he had to do.
After two months of observation, Zhang Yu discovered that these daily tasks in the Dark Spirit Realm were simple. Sometimes it was observing the flow of people at intersections, sometimes it was asking how long the Divine Transformations had been in seclusion, and sometimes it was checking to see if anyone had starved to death somewhere...
Zhang Yu could feel that the Righteousness Alliance was using each user in the Dark Spirit Realm as a tentacle, collecting massive amounts of intelligence through countless tentacles to complete its understanding of Wanfa University.
"This kind of intelligence is so superficial that it's almost impossible to prevent it from being leaked."
During this process, Zhang Yu was able to feel the deterioration of the situation through the descriptions of daily tasks and many things he observed.
"Do not overdose on cement..."
Looking at the image of a dead person with a big belly on the warning sign, Zhang Yu knew that this was due to a medicine shortage. Some Qi-refining students could not afford physical strength potions, so they were so hungry that they ate too much cement, which exceeded their capacity and eventually they died of starvation.
After all, ordinary cement can only increase the feeling of fullness, but does not really contain nutrients, and it is easy to overload Qi practitioners.
"Huilongyuan tomb prices have increased again, now is a good time to invest!"
Zhang Yu looked at the advertisement and thought to himself, "It seems that the prices of Lao Gao's private cemeteries have increased quite a bit. I heard that Shi Huaiyu is also thinking about investing in cemeteries recently."
Time just passes day by day.
A month later, Zhang Yu had not yet accumulated enough righteousness points, but he successfully purchased the method of opening up the Ten Great Classics through Ying Mingchi's channels.
Ying Mingchi was extremely curious about this: Are you going to open up 10 extraordinary classics?
Zhang Yu just sent a smiling emoticon and did not answer.
Ying Mingchi thought to himself, "He has indeed awakened his demon bloodline. Otherwise, how could an ordinary human open up 10 extraordinary scriptures?"
Another month later, when Zhang Yu was immersed in his cultivation, a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue, sweeping across the world.
More than eight months after the heaven and earth were connected, the Magnetic Pole God officially came out of seclusion and announced that he would attack the Changye Qiongque in three days. A war on the moon was about to begin.
