Chapter 692 The Tiger of All Laws, The Technological Revolution (6570+ words)
After finally finishing reading the entire design drawing, the Magnetic God withdrew his gaze reluctantly.
When she came to her senses, she found that the other nine Nascent Soul cultivators from the nine schools were all looking at her, their eyes filled with anger, longing, or resentment... Magnet couldn't help but laugh.
She understood that the initiative of the entire venue was now in her hands.
"Everyone..." Magnetism God said with a faint smile, "Don't be nervous or worried. I, Magnetism God, am not a stingy person. I am willing to share this design blueprint with you all and promote open source technology."
Bloodfall God of Netherworld University was not so easily fooled and asked, "Just state the conditions directly: magnetic poles."
The Magnetic God said, "Given that research and exploration in space technology will be ongoing for a long time, the costs cannot be borne by Wanfa alone, can they?"
Hearing what the Magnetic Extreme God Lord said next, the Evil Lotus God Lord of the Heavenly Demon University thought to himself, "Hmph, here to collect protection money?"
...
At the same time, Zhang Yu had already followed Lord Aoki outside the venue.
Looking at the ten beams of Nascent Soul light that appeared and disappeared in the building not far away, Zhang Yu knew that this building was where the Nascent Soul cultivators from the ten schools held a closed meeting.
He thought to himself, "I wonder how things are going with Professor Magnet's discussions with the principals of the other nine schools?"
Just then, a figure slowly approached Qingmu Shenjun and said with a soft laugh, "Qingmu, it's been a long time."
Zhang Yu turned his head and saw that the person speaking was a woman in palace attire who looked elegant and noble, and whose every smile and frown exuded the demeanor of a noble family.
There were no advertisements on the other party's body. Instead, data representing various assets jumped back and forth. Each jump seemed to represent the rise and sudden wealth of countless people, as well as the bankruptcy, death, and extinction of countless others.
The simple changes in numbers reveal the mysteries of humanity and the workings of society, reflecting the very existence of hundreds of millions of people.
“Yinquan Divine Lord…” Zhang Yu glanced at the Daoist title above the other’s head and thought to himself, “Is he the new Nascent Soul cultivator from the Netherworld University?”
Then the Yinquan God said, "Qingmu, you really made a great breakthrough in the enemy's formation this time. You were so impressive and domineering. Now everyone outside is calling you the Tiger of Ten Thousand Laws."
Upon hearing this, Aoki Shinjun said indifferently, "I was just doing my duty."
Yin Quan Shenjun continued, "How did you come up with the idea of dealing with Bao Tong? This fellow stole a lot of our school's resources, and his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in the past year. He's not easy to deal with."
Qingmu Shenjun calmly said, "My purpose in breaking this formation is only to test the power of the Boundary-Breaking Cone, so I naturally chose the most dangerous place. Moreover, I hate those traitors in the Finance Department the most. I'll kill every single one of them I see."
Yin Quan Shenjun chuckled: "Qingmu, your demeanor has become even more majestic since you became a Nascent Soul cultivator."
"Speaking of which, do you still have the Boundary-Breaking Cone? I've never seen this magical artifact before. Could I take a look?"
Aoki God-King flatly refused, saying, "I've already put the Boundary-Breaking Cone back. If you want to see it, go ask Magnetism."
Yin Quan chuckled and looked at Zhang Yu again: "Your disciple Zhang Yu, right? A very outstanding student."
She said to Zhang Yu, "Zhang Yu, my son has received a lot of care from you."
Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, then heard Yin Quan continue, "Wang Yin, don't you remember? He is my son."
"But you don't need to be nervous. I won't interfere in the affairs between you juniors. Besides, if it weren't for your encouragement, he wouldn't have made such great progress."
After saying that, Yin Quan smiled at Zhang Yu again, then greeted Qingmu Shenjun, and then transformed into a beam of divine light and disappeared into the air.
The Azure Wood God, standing nearby, warned, "Zhang Yu, don't be fooled by this woman's smiling face. Every cultivator who can climb up to the Netherworld University is a ruthless character. Yin Quan is especially so. Before she became a teacher at the university, she was a notorious heart-eating cultivator, and her favorite thing to do was to make people willingly offer up their hearts to be eaten by her..."
Just then, the building in front of them trembled slightly, and ten beams of divine light shot into the sky, seemingly dispersing in different directions.
One of the divine lights paused slightly, seemingly stopping above the head of the Azure Wood God, from which came the disgruntled voice of the Evil Lotus God.
"Aoki, do you know how many plans and actions of various schools you have disrupted by your unauthorized attack?"
This action immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators present, who all looked towards Qingmu Shenjun, and many people even secretly started recording.
Looking up at the divine light in the sky, Lord Aoki raised his head and said, "I fought to my heart's content today, and I will bear any consequences myself. If any of you have any complaints, you may challenge me to a duel, and I will accept them all."
At the same time, the voice of the Magnetic God Lord resounded: "Evil Lotus, I approved Qingmu's actions today. Do you have any more questions?"
A cold snort, like a thunderclap, brought with it a series of lightning bolts that danced back and forth in mid-air. The next moment, the aura of the Evil Lotus God had vanished without a trace.
Immediately afterwards, the voice of the Magnetic God came toward Zhang Yu and Qingmu: "You two come in."
Meanwhile, as schools released their announcements, the spirit world was once again abuzz with excitement.
Looking at the news, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Ten universities are jointly establishing a space technology research association? With Magnetism God Lord as the president, the ten universities will jointly contribute funds, and the research budget... will have no upper limit."
Looking at Zhang Yu and Qingmu Shenjun who had just arrived, Ciji said with emotion, "I have reached an agreement with the principals of various schools to jointly fund the construction of a research association, set up laboratories, and conduct in-depth research and exploration of space technology."
She looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Yu, you will also join the research association and lead an experimental group on your own. All research expenses will be shared by the ten universities."
Zhang Yu was not surprised by this; it was the result of discussions between Magnet and Zhang Yu after Magnet received the blueprints.
He smiled and agreed, knowing that with the financial support of the research association and the ten schools, his future cultivation and research would be well supported by abundant resources.
In addition, under the guidance of the research association, the industrial chains of each school will be significantly affected.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "As long as I leverage the influence of the research association to guide the space technology of various schools, I can obtain a massive amount of resources for cultivation."
"In addition, the cultivation resources needed for the immortal Daoist technique 'Three Realms and Ten Directions Great Void Barrier' can also be obtained in this process."
"After all, many of the materials used in space technology are similar. By influencing product production through technology, we can increase the output of related materials across society, which will make it easier for me to promote this immortal cultivation technique..."
Zhang Yu understood that this was a way to directly drive the upgrading of the entire social industrial chain through technical guidance, affecting the company's production and the direction of the ten schools' immortal cultivation research. While promoting the progress of the ten schools, it also gave back to his own cultivation.
The resulting increase in efficiency far exceeds the effect of one person's arduous practice.
Each advancement in space technology has an immeasurable impact on various industries, including transportation, logistics, and shopping, as well as on the work, lives, and studies of hundreds of millions of people.
"Won't the school's textbooks change, the curriculum change, and the exam content change too?"
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Furthermore, with the application of new space technologies in transportation, the underlying logic of many industries will change."
"For example, in the transportation industry, the design and form of airships will undergo tremendous changes. It is unknown how many shipbuilding companies will rise and how many will fall because they cannot keep up with the changes."
"This is just one industry. In other industries, countless people will become rich overnight, and countless others will go bankrupt, which in turn will affect the development of the spirit world..."
At this moment, Zhang Yu seemed to be able to see that as he made progress in technology, the whole society would undergo a series of tsunami-like changes because of his choices.
The space technology brought by Kunlun in the palm of his hand is like a domino. When Zhang Yu pushes the first one, it will lead society to a future that he cannot fully predict.
Of course, if the research association wants to continue to lead the ten universities and continue to guide production with technology, it must maintain its advantage in space technology.
Zhang Yu, however, was full of confidence.
He thought to himself, "The spatial knowledge contained in the level 40 Kunlun Palm, combined with the two great Dao varieties of Tiangong Kaiwu and Lingyun Qixin, is enough to make me make rapid progress in related research."
"If I can successfully cultivate the Three Realms and Ten Directions Great Void Barrier, my advantage will only grow, and I may even be able to dominate the course of the battle."
...
Several days later.
When Bei Wufeng arrived at a building on the north side of the Great Hollow, he saw the sign for the Space Technology Research Institute being hung up.
Meanwhile, smoke and dust rose all around, and construction sites were bustling with activity.
Yu Xinghan, who was standing to the side, explained, "In the future, this whole area will be part of the Space Technology Park."
He pointed to the east and said, "From Donghu District to Central Street, the project is expected to have a total of 8 phases, with a final area of more than one million square meters. It will be personally supervised by Lord Aoki."
Looking at all this, Bei Wufeng felt his heart surge with excitement. He thought to himself, "Indeed, space technology is the new trend of the future. The next hundred years may well be the hundred years of space technology."
Thinking about his opportunity to join the research institute, Bei Wufeng was filled with excitement and determined to make a big splash and secure a place in the future technological revolution.
After being escorted into the building by Yu Xinghan, Bei Wufeng was slightly taken aback when he arrived outside the agreed meeting room.
"Yan Qianji? Jin Jun?"
Looking at the familiar faces from the weapon crafting department, Bei Wufeng thought to himself, "Have they poached all the elites from our Wanfa University's weapon crafting department?"
"However, Magnetism God is, after all, the principal of our Myriad Laws School, so it's normal for him to give priority to our Myriad Laws students."
But Bei Wufeng was slightly taken aback when he entered the interview room, because the projection that appeared in front of him was not Magnet God, but Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu looked at Bei Wufeng and smiled slightly, asking, "Why did you join the Space Technology Research Institute?"
Bei Wufeng's expression turned solemn as he said, "I believe that space technology has great potential in the future, which will guide the development of the ten schools and determine the course of war. I want to become the most outstanding cultivator and continue to strive on the path of immortality, so naturally I must choose this most promising industry."
...
Before leaving after the interview, Bei Wufeng asked Zhang Yu, "Excuse me... if I pass the interview and join the Space Technology Research Institute, will I be working under the guidance of Magnet God?"
Zhang Yu said calmly, "Professor Magnet has another group. After you join the research association, you will work under my experimental group."
Upon hearing these words, Bei Wufeng felt a pang of disappointment.
If given a choice, Bei Wufeng would naturally want to join Magnetism's ranks and participate in space technology research. In his view, Magnetism is currently the top Nascent Soul cultivator among the ten schools, and a pioneer and leader in space technology, representing the most advanced direction of technological development.
In comparison, Zhang Yu's aura is much weaker. Although he has the support of immortal sect techniques and his future potential is undoubtedly remarkable, his growth period is still too short...
It wasn't just Bei Wufeng who felt this way; other geniuses in the weapon-refining department, including Yan Qianji and Jin Jun, were also disappointed when they learned that they would be joining Zhang Yu's group instead of Magnet God Lord's group during the interview.
Yan Qianji thought to himself, "Zhang Yu has just entered the Nascent Soul stage. He will probably have to spend most of his time consolidating his cultivation and nourishing his Nascent Soul. How much time will he have left for research?"
After thinking for a while, Yan Qianji chose to refuse: "I'm sorry, True Lord Zhuyi, I still want to try my luck with the opportunity with the Magnetic God."
On the other side, Bei Wufeng hesitated for a while, but decided to wait for Zhang Yu to give him an opportunity. He thought to himself, "At least I'll join the Space Technology Research Association first. After joining... maybe I can find a way to transfer to Magnetism God's group?"
Jin Jun, who had once competed with Zhang Yu on the Heavenly Sun God, now had a much simpler mind.
Jin Jun thought to himself, "The fact that the Magnetic God Lord brought Zhang Yu in is clearly to let Zhang Yu use the research association's resources to improve his cultivation."
He knew his own level; while he was considered quite good among students, he was simply not good enough for the Magnetic God's group.
"But I can't get close to the Magnetic God, but Zhang Yu can."
"If Zhang Yu latches onto the thigh of the Magnetic God, and I latch onto Zhang Yu's thigh, wouldn't that be the same as me latching onto the thigh of the Magnetic God?"
With this in mind, Jin Jun had made up his mind to join Zhang Yu's experimental group.
After finishing the interviews with each candidate, Zhang Yu didn't care what they were thinking.
Hiding behind the magnetic poles greatly reduced his pressure, but it also brought the disadvantage of a less dazzling aura, significantly reducing his attractiveness to talent.
However, he believed that with the reputation of the Space Technology Research Institute, attracting some Golden Core cultivators to join his experimental group would not be difficult.
Moreover, Zhang Yu didn't want the other party to assist his research; he only wanted them to assist his cultivation.
In Zhang Yu's view, the growth of his cultivation, especially the improvement of immortal techniques, is the key to driving him to produce more research results and to having the strength to withstand more pressure in the future.
“Golden Core cultivators are not difficult to recruit, but Nascent Soul cultivators are…”
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Recruiting experienced Nascent Soul cultivators to assist me in crafting magic weapons... I'm afraid that will be a bit difficult."
"After all, these cultivators almost all have their own companies, laboratories, and factories, and they have endless projects and research topics to complete. To have them work under me, a cultivator who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage, my current reputation and prestige are not enough."
"Even with the Space Technology Research Institute's name attached, it's still not enough."
“They’ll worry that coming here will waste their time…”
However, Zhang Yu was not too anxious or worried. He believed that as he gradually achieved results, Nascent Soul cultivators would come to apply for his job.
At this moment, as Bei Wufeng, Yan Qianji, Jin Jun, and other outstanding students from the weapon-refining department were interviewed by Zhang Yu, today's interview work was completely completed.
Just then, Ye Xingli sent Zhang Yu a message: Junior brother, I'm going to focus all my efforts on the teacher's project from now on, and I should return your company to you now.
Zhang Yu knew that his senior sister had joined the Magnetic God Lord's experimental group in the research association to participate in space technology research.
Zhang Yu believed that with the Magnetic God's abilities, there would definitely be many results to be achieved, and Ye Xingli should also gain a lot of benefits.
Zhang Yu said, "President Fu, why don't you go and coordinate with Senior Sister?"
During his five-month seclusion, Zhang Yu's original company underwent several expansions and now has more than 200 employees.
Not long after the original shareholder, Fuki, took over, she felt a headache coming on when she looked at the dense array of information.
After handing over the management of the company to Fu Ji, Zhang Yu continued to devote himself to his cultivation.
He was brimming with magical power and blood, and was practicing a breathing technique to enhance his magical power.
His next goal is to upgrade this passive breathing technique to level 40, so that he can complete the passive breathing with maximum efficiency every day and constantly increase his mana.
After completing this breathing technique, his next goal is to advance each technique to level 40 and complete the creation of the 'Nascent Soul Sacred Body' chain diagram.
"After all, the immortal Dao technique 'Three Realms and Ten Directions Great Void Barrier' is different from 'Kunlun in the Palm'. It consumes far too much time and resources. Having the Nascent Soul Holy Body makes my cultivation much easier and saves a lot of time and resources."
Besides these, one can also see Zhang Yu's nascent soul floating behind him, silently circulating the cultivation method of the nascent soul.
"A key point in the Nascent Soul realm is to continue to nourish and cultivate the Nascent Soul, constantly improving its external range, movement speed, and other characteristics, in preparation for the final condensation of the Nascent Soul into a Primordial Spirit."
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Sun God, connected to Zhang Yu's consciousness, was rapidly browsing various learning materials, including textbooks and knowledge required for graduate students in the weapon crafting department, as well as various weapon crafting design drawings that Zhang Yu felt he could use...
Cultivating techniques, learning knowledge, nurturing the nascent soul, managing the experimental group, remotely commanding the company... Time flowed by in Zhang Yu's incredibly fulfilling life.
...
At the same time that the Space Technology Research Association was established, the other ten universities did not completely give up their research and exploration of space technology.
Demon University.
The Demon Lotus God looked at Kuang Tianqing before him and said, "You've turned back into a man?"
Kuang Tianqing's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself, "Damn it... what do these new Nascent Soul cultivators want with me? Could it be that they want to give me a crash course, just like the old Nascent Soul cultivators before them?"
Thinking about this, he felt goosebumps rise all over his body and wished he could run away immediately.
But Kuang Tianqing understood that with his current cultivation level, he had no chance of escaping from the Nascent Soul stage.
"Damn it..." Kuang Tianqing kept telling himself, "Endure it, endure this momentary humiliation..."
Just then, Lord Nielin continued, "Since you've chosen to turn back into a man, it seems your memories have returned?"
Seeing Kuang Tianqing's surprised and unexpected expression, Lord Nielian said calmly, "I recently went through my master's diary and learned that you have a lot of memories about the sect in your head."
"A diary?" Kuang Tianqing cursed inwardly, "You old bastard, why do you keep a diary? And you even wrote my secrets in it?!"
But the next moment, he realized: "Wait a minute, how could the Free and Easy God Lord write any random diary entries?"
“That junior, Nie Lian… he probably didn’t just look through the diary, but rather cracked one of the secret databases of the Free God and found information about me.”
Thinking this, Kuang Tianqing's mind raced, its thoughts churning even more intensely: "Why is this guy telling me all this? Does he want to expose my identity and then try to exploit me, this senior of the demonic path, to extract more resources from me?"
"Sigh, these jockeys are traitors... what are they incapable of doing?"
Thinking of this, Kuang Tianqing sighed and decided to lay his cards on the table, asking directly, "What do you want to do?"
Lord Nielian said calmly, "I plan to establish a space technology research group, which I will lead, to conduct research and catch up with the magnetic poles."
Kuang Tianqing's gaze sharpened, realizing that he seemed to have guessed wrong this time.
Lord Nielian continued, "You should understand, right? Even if the Magnetic Pole is willing to provide technical support, space technology is of paramount importance. It not only relates to a large amount of commercial interests, but will also be an important component of the military strength of various schools in the future, determining the course of war. This kind of thing... must be developed independently."
"And Tianmo University, even if it cannot dominate the technology field, should at least become one of the leaders."
"The sect memories you possess should be of great help to my research, right?"
Upon hearing this, Kuang Tianqing's heart stirred, and he suddenly asked, "Is Zhang Yu... also in that Space Technology Research Association?"
Lord Nielian said, "As far as I know, yes. However, he has only had the immortal sect's techniques for a short time, so I'm afraid he will have little chance of achieving anything in the near future."
"However, the magnetic poles have managed to make a breakthrough in space technology this time..."
"Perhaps it's because Zhang Yu revealed some of the secrets of the immortal sect's cultivation techniques to her."
Lord Nie Lian said, "Therefore, I need your assistance."
...
The University of the Underworld.
Wang Yin exclaimed in surprise, "The school is also getting into space technology?"
Yin Quan Shenjun said calmly, "Space technology is the future trend, and the school naturally cannot rely entirely on an outsider like Magnetic Pole."
"Moreover, the design she released is already the most difficult one yet. Given the level and experience of the various schools in the 'Transformation of the Gods' stage, they may not be unable to catch up with her, or even surpass her."
“Magnetic poles are only one step ahead of us now. Next, it will be a time of great diversity and competition among all schools.”
"After you join the school's experimental group, remember to observe, listen, and learn more. You might become a senior figure in this field in the future."
Wang Yin nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, "Is Zhang Yu currently under the command of the Magnetic Pole? He's already... at the Nascent Soul stage, right?"
He recalled Zhang Yu's Taoist name posted on his WeChat Moments: "The 'candle' in 'candle,' and the 'shining' in 'shining brightly.' This guy has big ambitions."
Yin Quan Shenjun said, "That's right. I looked at his spending at the research institute, and it's mostly for consolidating his Nascent Soul cultivation. He must have been brought in by Magnetic Pole to spend money together."
Yin Quan Shenjun continued, "Wang Yin, put Zhang Yu's matter aside for now. The most important thing next is the research on space technology. You need to pay attention to the magnetic poles, every article she publishes, every product she produces, and all kinds of intelligence about her, understand?"
...
Immortal Soldier University.
Looking at the design drawings before him, Tian Shenggong exclaimed inwardly, "Is this the spatial magic weapon designed by the Magnetic Extreme God?"
"Wonderful, it's really wonderful."
Ahead, the Thousand Puppet God said, "Within three days, you must thoroughly digest this blueprint."
"Within a month, it needs to be completely redesigned, tested, and put into production."
"From now on, you must keep a close eye on every piece of intelligence about the magnetic pole. We must stay close behind her, take advantage of our late start, digest, absorb, and devour everything about her, stick to her tightly, and then completely surpass her!"
"This is not only a victory for Immortal Soldier University, but also a victory for Extreme Tiger. It is the prelude to our future dominance in the space field and the setting of industry standards!"
