Chapter 711 Dao Seed Upgrade, Special Approval for Foundation Establishment, Decisive Battle Begins (7130+)
The ground, soaked in blood, was littered with thousands of corpses.
Severed arms and limbs were scattered everywhere like garbage.
A Nascent Soul True Monarch who arrived at the scene witnessed this and angrily rebuked, "These demonic cultists and evil gods, they just killed so many Qi Refining cultivators like that?"
"What a waste! What a terrible thing!"
Just as he was speaking, streaks of sword light suddenly burst forth from his body.
He stared in astonishment at the sword light bursting forth from his eyes and cried out, "Who?"
He stared at it all in disbelief, not understanding why this terrifying sword energy was spreading from his body, his meridians, his dantian, and even his sea of consciousness.
The next moment, the sword light tore his body apart, and even his nascent soul could not escape.
After killing the Nascent Soul True Monarch, the figure of the Immortal Slayer True Monarch of the Righteous Alliance slowly emerged in the atmosphere.
But looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes.
"Too slow."
Even though the war has been going on for so long, and the Immortal Slayer has killed millions of people, in his eyes it is still too slow.
After all, according to his and his master Fu Xiantian's plan, they intended to annihilate all living beings in the world from the 2nd to the 5th level and send them into reincarnation.
At the current rate of killing, this plan is clearly too far off.
The Immortal Slayer was naturally aware of this, but even if it only slightly reduced the workload for the subsequent plans and slightly increased the success rate of creating a new world, he was willing to do it and willing to kill.
Just then, news of Fu Xiantian appeared in his eyes.
He was startled: "Has Master emerged from seclusion?"
Fu Xiantian: Your master has already planned to launch the plan ahead of schedule, shatter the fifth level, and annihilate all ten schools of Nascent Soul cultivators.
Fu Xiantian: Come back and take charge of the great formation.
Upon seeing this message, the Immortal Slayer True Monarch's gaze sharpened, and he solemnly said, "Has it finally begun?"
A surge of fighting spirit and intense killing intent emanated from his eyes, and the Kunxu world before him seemed to burn within them.
"This insane, mad, and utterly hopeless world... has finally reached the day when it will burn completely to ashes."
"From now on...we will completely reshape this world and guide it onto the right path."
With Fu Xiantian's emergence from seclusion, the entire Righteous Alliance, including cultivators from the original financial department, members of the Demonic Sect, and even the Evil God and its followers, all sprang into action.
Large quantities of supplies circulated between the 4th and 5th floors, much like blood and qi in a blood vessel, delivering various nutrients and essences to key parts of the body, preparing for the upcoming violent outburst.
The lower and middle levels of the Righteous Alliance were still completely unaware of this, and did not know that an unprecedented decisive battle was about to sweep across all levels.
...
Just as the entire Righteous Alliance was gearing up for battle, slowly starting to operate like a war machine, Zhang Yu was communicating with many friends who had added him after the press conference.
Yin Quan Shen Jun: Zhang Yu, stop calling me auntie, it makes me sound so old.
Yin Quan Shen Jun: We are only about 500 years apart in age.
Yin Quan Shen Jun: From now on, you can just call me sister. [Smile]
Zhang Yu: Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Wang Yin and I are of the same generation, so wouldn't that make me his uncle?
Yin Quan Shen Jun: [Laughing and crying] You really know how to make your sister laugh.
Yin Quan Shen Jun: Let's each stick to our own way. You call me "sister," and let Wang Yin call you "brother." You call him "Little Wang."
Looking at the message from Yin Quan Shen Jun, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "Yin Quan Shen Jun is so approachable, how come Xiao Wang is so arrogant?"
"Or is it that Sister Yin Quan is just being approachable in front of me at this moment?"
Zhang Yu didn't need to think much to know that it was definitely the latter situation.
Especially after the press conference ended, more and more people added him as a friend. They were all elites, leaders, and wealthy people from various universities. They all spoke politely and kindly, making Zhang Yu constantly feel the goodwill of the world.
But among all the friends who added him after the meeting, only Yin Quan was a Divine Lord of the Transformation Realm.
All the other Nascent Soul cultivators from other schools sent their subordinates and disciples to communicate with Zhang Yu.
In comparison, Yin Quan Shen Jun naturally appeared very approachable.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Youming University is very sincere about cooperation and is probably one of the fastest places to promote the sharing of the Great Void."
"As for Vajra and Heavenly Sword, they go without saying. With the principal and the gods leading the way, they will be the first places to be covered."
"Although the Heavenly Demon and the White Bone are not fully supporting it, they are also pushing forward with cooperation."
"We need to be careful with the celestial soldiers and demons..."
Zhang Yu's mind was filled with the changing situation of the top ten universities. He could almost see how each campus was changing under his leadership.
Just then, his eyes flashed, and he had received a message from Zhao Tianxing.
Zhao Tianxing: Zhang Yu, I did it! I've reached the Foundation Establishment stage!
Feeling his Dao Heart had surpassed level 11, Zhao Tianxing still couldn't hide his excitement.
Even when he was in good health and ranked among the top students at Songyang High School, Zhao Tianxing never dared to imagine that he would one day achieve Foundation Establishment.
After all, in Songyang City, Foundation Establishment is an extremely high level of status that is unattainable. Among the generations of Songyang cultivators who have gone to university, very few have been able to reach Foundation Establishment.
Not to mention that after becoming a soul cultivator, Zhao Tianxing never dared to imagine that he could one day break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
Zhao Tianxing knew that he dared not think about it not because he was magnanimous, but because he was rather cowardly and had low self-esteem.
"The words 'foundation building' are something that a poor person like me should never even think about."
At this moment, Zhao Tianxing has successively obtained the opportunity to upgrade his associate degree to a bachelor's degree, obtained a specially approved Foundation Establishment qualification certificate, and also completed a breakthrough in his realm through the 100% realistic environment of the Spirit Realm.
It can be said that Zhao Tianxing at this moment has achieved a rise that countless soul cultivators would never dare to dream of.
Zhao Tianxing understood that one of the biggest threats after becoming a soul cultivator was that spending more and more time in the spirit world would gradually cause him to lose his perception of the real world and become lost in the endless illusion of the spirit world. This was called mental melting.
The most effective way to slow down mental melting is to immerse yourself in a 100% realistic environment.
Of course, saying it's a 100% realistic environment is just a marketing claim; it can't possibly be 100% real.
However, how many decimal places are there after 99%, and how close it is to the real world, is something that ordinary cultivators cannot explain clearly.
Even so, in this environment, soul cultivators still feel as if they have regained their physical bodies, able to experience everything as if they were in the real world, and even achieve breakthroughs and promote the improvement of their Dao heart in this environment.
Of course, the amount of ingenuity required for a 100% realistic environment, the equipment used, the wear and tear on the equipment, and the maintenance of various resources... are all incredibly expensive.
Furthermore, the higher the level of a soul cultivator, the greater the consumption in this regard, and it only increases over time.
But only those soul cultivators with high enough cultivation levels can earn more money.
The more you earn, the more you consume; the more you consume, the more you earn. In the constant cycle of earning and spending to survive, it seems that all soul cultivators ultimately cannot escape the fate of having their minds melt away.
But this is fine too. For Zhao Tianxing, who has just stepped into the Foundation Establishment realm, he only feels extremely happy and joyful, and doesn't want to think about the threat of his mind melting in the future.
Zhao Tianxing immediately shared his joy and happiness with Zhang Yu.
Looking at Lao Zhao's message, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion, recalling how happy and excited he was when he first broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Unfortunately, that happiness has left me."
"Even when I break through to the Nascent Soul stage now, I won't feel the same joy as before."
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yu replied to Zhao Tianxing: Keep going, Lao Zhao. Foundation Establishment is just the beginning. Keep moving forward!
Just then, Zhang Yu heard a voice calling his name.
"Zhang Yu?" Le Mulan looked at Zhang Yu behind her with some confusion, wondering why he had stopped.
Zhang Yu said, "It's alright, let's continue."
Zhang Yu closed the chat window with Zhao Tianxing, and a thought of his continued to circulate his magic power, flowing towards his palm and injecting strands of magic power into Le Mulan's body.
At this moment, he is enhancing Le Mulan's magical power and its quality.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I should be able to help Le Mulan raise her Dao Seed by one level today."
Just as Zhang Yu was helping Le Mulan, Yin Jiurao was waiting silently outside their office.
To support the front lines, the pharmacy professor and all his students rushed to the campus near the Great Hole.
What moved her was the memory of when Zhang Yu was a senior in college, when she and Zhang Yu were inside the door and Le Mulan was waiting outside.
Now, only a few years have passed, and she is already waiting outside the door, while Le Mulan and Zhang Yu are inside.
"Is this what they mean by the student surpassing the master? My disciple is quite remarkable indeed."
Hearing the occasional soft humming coming from inside the door, Yin Jiu Rao's mind began to wander.
"I reminded Le Mulan a long time ago to take advantage of her proximity to Zhang Yu and get the materials as soon as possible. It seems that she didn't react on the surface, but she did it secretly."
As for her office being temporarily borrowed by the other party, Yin Jiu Rao didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she was engaged in immortality research and didn't care about trivial matters.
A moment later, looking at Zhang Yu walking out of the door, Yin Jiu Rao smiled and said, "True Lord Zhu Yi, are you leaving already? There's no need to rush. You can use this office for as long as you want."
Zhang Yu smiled somewhat awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately, and this matter is too urgent. Since you weren't here, I'm just temporarily borrowing your office to help Le Mulan with her cultivation."
Yin Jiu Rao waved her hands repeatedly. Zhang Yu was now a big star at Wanfa University, attracting attention from ten schools, and was a truly sought-after figure.
For someone like that, Yin Jiu Rao wouldn't even bother to invite her, let alone chase her away.
Watching Zhang Yu's departing figure, Yin Jiu Rao looked at Le Mu Lan, who was still clutching her stomach, and asked, "How is it? Did he give it to you?"
Le Mulan felt the surging magical power in her dantian, which seemed about to overflow at any moment. She couldn't help but cover her stomach and nod, saying, "Yes, it's all gone into my stomach."
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiu Rao exclaimed anxiously, "Stomach? How can it go into the stomach?"
Yin Jiu Rao observed her closely for a few moments and asked, "Can you vomit it up?"
As Le Mulan felt Zhang Yu's magical power gradually dissipating, she said, "It's almost fully digested."
"Sigh," Yin Jiu Rao said angrily, "How could you be so greedy? Do you know how much this is worth? You just ate it like that?"
After thinking about the excessive amount of magical power that Zhang Yu had transferred this time, Le Mulan said, "I told Zhang Yu that he insisted that I digest it, saying that it would be beneficial for me."
Feeling the changes gradually occurring in her Deep Cold Meridian, Le Mulan knew that Zhang Yu was right; it was indeed beneficial, and the benefits were significant.
Yin Jiu Rao thought to herself, "Zhang Yu said there are benefits? Given Zhang Yu's current status, he wouldn't lie to us. Could there be some secret I don't know about?"
After saying that, Yin Jiu Rao grabbed Le Mu Lan's hand and said, "Come on, let me give you a physical examination."
Le Mulan waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No need, teacher."
Just as Le Mulan was experiencing the effects of the upgraded Deep Cold Vein, Zhang Yu was already able to accurately perceive the effects of the third level of the Deep Cold Vein through the Dao Seed Manual of the Feather Book.
The first level of the Deep Cold Technique can freeze wounds and prolong life, while the second level can improve heat dissipation efficiency and extend the body's burst time.
And now we've reached level 3...
After Zhang Yu circulated his magic power, a portion of his internal organs in his chest and abdomen were temporarily frozen.
"The frozen body can enter a rapid and efficient self-healing state."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This self-healing is not just a simple treatment of injuries; it can even restore some of the lost lifespan of the body."
Zhang Yu knew that every movement, burst, and consumption of flesh and blood would shorten the body's lifespan.
The existence of the Level 3 Deep Cold Meridian allows the body to recover some of its lifespan loss through self-healing after each physical activity.
"With this Level 3 Deep Cold Dharma Vein, one's physical lifespan can be increased by at least 100%."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh, "If people find out, I'm afraid many will have designs on Le Mulan."
However, Zhang Yu has already asked Le Mulan to keep this matter a secret, and given Zhang Yu's current status at Wanfa University, with him protecting Le Mulan, there is no need to worry about this matter being exposed for the time being.
Then Zhang Yu looked at the upgrade requirements for the fourth level of the Deep Cold Dharma Vein.
"30,000 units of mana, with a mana quality requirement of 350%, is equivalent to the level of the Nascent Soul realm."
Over the next week, with Wanfa University at its core and Vajra and Heavenly Sword as the main supporters, Taixu Yunzang's production line was rapidly expanded, and various advertisements flooded the market.
The plans of the other universities also proceeded smoothly. As time went by, the first Taixu Cloud Storage II was sold, and the first shared Taixu location was set up... Zhang Yu felt that everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.
But on that very day, shortly after Zhang Yu returned to his quiet room in the research institute, he suddenly felt Fuki jump up.
Zhang Yu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Fuki exclaimed, "Something is calling to me! This power... this is the Book of Evil Gods!"
Zhang Yu frowned: "The Evil God's Scroll? Wasn't it said that it could only be summoned in the Dark Spirit Realm?"
Fuki sighed, "This shows that their construction of the Book of Evil Gods has made further progress, and the summoning can now spread from the Dark Realm to the real world."
Zhang Yu asked, "What will happen if we don't respond?"
Fuki said, "As long as the other party continues to call, the intensity of the call will increase, eventually even triggering the evil god power within me, which risks exposing us."
Upon hearing Fu Ji's words, Zhang Yu couldn't help but frown slightly. This feeling of being threatened made him uncomfortable.
But in any case, the most urgent task is to log into the Dark Spirit Realm and see what the God of Reporting is up to.
When Fu Ji and Zhang Yu landed in the Dark Spirit Realm and answered the call of the Evil God's Book to a conference room, they found that the room was already full of evil gods.
Fuki looked at this scene in surprise, thinking to herself, "What's going on? So many evil gods? Did they summon all the evil gods from levels 2 to 5? Is this some kind of annual summary meeting?"
When Fuki appeared, all the evil gods looked over, their gazes filled with displeasure, doubt, inquiry, and curiosity...
The auspicious god looked at the lucky girl and said, "Lucky Goddess, you are too late. Why are you so late?"
Feeling the scrutiny in the auspicious god's gaze, Fu Ji said, "I'm busy with something right now, it's good enough that I could come. Let's get to the point."
The God of Report stopped the two from arguing further and said, "In order to deal with the descent of the Heavenly Court and the technological revolution of the Ten Schools, the Alliance Leader has decided to promote the Five-Layer Demolition Plan."
Upon hearing these words from the God of Reporting, the many evil gods who had just learned the news discussed among themselves, some excited, some nervous, and some worried.
Only the evil gods, such as the God of Auspiciousness and the God of Happiness, who already knew about it, appeared calm and composed.
Zhang Yu's heart tightened: "They're going to blow up the fifth level? If that happens, the Heavenly Court will arrive even later, which will drag the war on for even longer..."
At this moment, Zhang Yu was already considering the pros and cons, and whether he should inform the higher-ups of the top ten universities about this matter.
The God of Report continued, "The fifth-level explosion is imperative. In order to increase the success rate of the plan, the alliance has decided to fully announce the plan and conduct saturated publicity to gather good fortune and enhance the fifth-level explosion."
One of the evil gods exclaimed in surprise, "Saturation propaganda? Are they trying to make it so that everyone knows we're going to blow up the fifth floor?"
The God of Report said, "That's right. The greatest belief of the Ten Great Universities in this war is the arrival of the Heavenly Court. If the teachers and students of the Ten Great Universities knew about the plan to explode on the fifth floor, and knew that the arrival of the Heavenly Court could be postponed again and again, many people's thoughts would change, and the morale of the Righteous Alliance would also be greatly boosted..."
Another evil god said, "But the cultivators from the top ten universities, especially those Nascent Soul cultivators, will definitely not sit idly by and wait to die. They will attack us. This will be a great battle."
Xiang Shen said, "Let's fight. It should have been done a long time ago. Those useless people in the finance department, do you think they can outdo the top ten researchers? We've been fighting like this for over a year and a half now, and our technological advantage has turned into a disadvantage. If this drags on any longer, we're bound to lose."
Xi Shen, with his thousand hands, thousand feet, and thousand eyes, said with a glint in his eyes, "While the technological innovations of the top ten universities have not yet been fully realized, and before they have produced too many products to replace their equipment, we should lure them to our territory for a decisive battle. This will be more advantageous for us."
The God of Report continued, "The Alliance Leader has emerged from seclusion. He has now mastered the Daoist arts of the Immortal Sect and is about to annihilate the Ten Schools of Nascent Soul, preparing for the unification of all levels."
Upon hearing the news that Fu Xiantian had emerged from seclusion, many of the evil gods present were slightly shaken, and then their confidence increased greatly.
"Has the alliance leader succeeded?"
"Since it was Fu Xiantian who made the decision, I have no objection."
"He is Ying Xintian's personal disciple. How could those Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ten Schools be a match for him?"
Clearly, the evil gods present had complete confidence in this immortal disciple and couldn't think of any reason why they would lose.
So the reporting god then assigned a task, instructing all the evil gods to do their utmost to publicize the five-story demolition plan.
...
With the conclusion of the Evil God Conference, the entire Dark Spirit Realm was like a powder keg that had been ignited. News of the fifth-level explosion exploded everywhere, reaching every user of the Dark Spirit Realm.
Everyday check-in tasks and pinned messages are promoting this plan.
Various tasks to acquire positive energy points also include tasks involving spreading the five-layer demolition plan within the spirit realm and the ten school campuses.
The news of the fifth floor being blown up spread like wildfire, sweeping across every corner from the second to the fifth floor.
In addition to the transmission of messages and intelligence, the Righteous Alliance also opened its doors wide to many powerful cultivators within the alliance, releasing various resources and providing them openly to the alliance's elites, all in order to maximize their combat strength before the decisive battle.
...
On the fifth floor of Kunxu, inside the research institute of Youming University.
As Taihao Zhenjun took one step and bowed one head at a time, the wondrous ritual of transferring lineages and changing ancestors was fully performed, and the ancestral graves of the Netherworld University suddenly exploded, with various hundreds and thousands of corpses kneeling and shaking violently.
"We beseech our ancestors to appear and bless their descendants, the True Lord Taihao..."
With the opening of various resources by the Righteous Alliance, True Monarch Taihao also seized the opportunity to rise up. Not only did he recover his cultivation, but he also feasted and digested various ancestral resources in the research institute on the fifth floor of the Netherworld University.
After kneeling over the ancestral graves, he said to the camera next to him, "Everyone at Netherworld University, the resources of the fifth level of Kunxu have now been released in large quantities. As long as you are willing to join the Righteous Alliance, you can get a share of the profits."
"Now that the fifth floor is about to be destroyed, the Heavenly Court you are waiting for will not descend."
"If you remain stubborn, then please accept my bow."
...
On the battlefield of the third level of Kunxu.
The Devouring Heaven True Monarch, who claimed to be the successor of the Great Sage, roared, and his two large, hairy claws suddenly expanded, already pinning down hundreds of demon descendants.
He roared and shouted at the many demon descendants, "You little beasts, listen up! The Righteous Alliance has decided to blow up the fifth floor!"
"The fifth level will be divided into countless small worlds. The Heavenly Court will never be able to find them, and they will never be able to descend here again, hahahahaha."
"Tell those scumbags from the top ten universities, just wait for me, the Great Sage, to come and rob you. No one can save you."
"I will take back everything that Kunxu, the ten major sects, the ten major universities, and the billions of lives that they owe the Great Sage!"
...
On the social media platforms of the Dark Realm.
Dazhuan Zhenjun has released another video of himself suppressing players from the top ten leagues.
He stepped on the dragon head of Ying Zhoufan from Tianyao University and said coldly, "Another one of the top ten geniuses has been suppressed by me."
"Hmph, the teaching quality of the top ten schools seems to be... utterly terrible."
"Millions upon millions of high school students, vocational school students, junior college students, and college dropouts... dedicated their youth, shed their blood and sweat, worked desperately to earn money, and built Kunxu, only to produce you bastards?"
“You take our sustenance, trample on our heads, steal our opportunities, and yet you still despise us.”
"Unfortunately, your good days are over."
"We will no longer be plundered by you at will."
Looking at the Eagle Universe Brahma beneath his feet, the Great Master True Monarch said indifferently, "Perhaps you are still thinking that the Heavenly Court will descend and everything will return to the way it was in the past, back to the era when you rich people could still humiliate us at will."
"But I want to tell you, I will never go back."
"The fifth level is about to be completely destroyed, and the Heavenly Court you are waiting for will not descend!"
...
In colleges and universities, some students are watching videos transmitted from the Dark Realm.
In the video, Liangyan Zhenjun says, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the top ten universities are doing this 'Shared Void' thing. It's just a way to raise money and scam people. It's a game of musical chairs. If any of you put a deposit in it, don't even think about getting it back."
"Moreover, the Righteous Alliance is already planning to launch the five-layer explosion plan."
"At that time, the fifth level will be split into thousands of small worlds, making it difficult for the Heavenly Court to find them and reconnect to the fourth level of Kunxu."
"And the Immortal of the New Heaven will find us first and lead us to the new world."
"Everyone, the situation has reversed. Now it's the top ten universities that should be worried."
"Keep those spirit coins you want to use to build the Shared Void. Next year, the Ten Greats will be completely defeated, the Righteous Alliance will take control of all levels, and the Immortal of the Reflecting Heaven will return to lead us in building a new world... By then, these spirit coins might be enough for you to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, or even the Golden Core stage."
...
Following the actions of the Righteous Alliance, the leaders of the top ten universities naturally received the news.
The atmosphere on each campus became somber, as if a storm was brewing.
Inside the research association.
Zhang Yu looked at the Magnetic God before him and said, "Master..."
The Magnetic God sighed, "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease."
"The principals of the various schools and I have made a decision to embark on an expedition to the fifth level of Kunxu."
"We must stop them before they detonate the fifth floor."
After saying that, she turned to Zhang Yu and said with a smile, "Good disciple, we'll have to trouble you to break through the heavens for us again."
Zhang Yu solemnly said, "Teacher, I will fight alongside you to the very end."
Seeing Zhang Yu's spirited appearance, Magnetism God shook his head: "What are you thinking? It's a battle of Nascent Soul cultivators, what are you doing getting involved? Go back after you finish digging the cave."
Seeing that Zhang Yu seemed about to say something more, the Azure Wood God said, "Don't worry, Zhang Yu. We are Nascent Soul cultivators. If the sky collapses, we will naturally be the first to hold it up."
"Besides, after so many rounds of fighting with the Righteous Alliance, our spatial magic treasures have been greatly updated, and we are no longer afraid of their immortal sect techniques."
"Just stay here and wait for our triumphant return."
The Magnetic God Lord patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder and said, "Cultivate diligently and use the resources of the research association to improve yourself. That's what you should be doing now."
