Chapter 730 The New Great Sage Technique
Upon seeing the message from the Immortal Slayer True Lord, the College True Lord's expression immediately darkened.
The Great Master True Lord was unwilling to confront this disciple of the immortal directly.
But he was determined to get Zhang Yu.
Then, the College Master's eyes flickered, and his gaze jumped to the Immortal Slayer's live stream.
Then, in the live stream, more than ten Nascent Soul True Monarchs were seen besieging Immortal Slaying True Monarch.
Seeing this scene, the Great Master Zhenjun thought to himself, "The Immortal Slaying won't end so quickly. As long as I get there before him and capture Zhang Yu first, he can't blame me for being late."
Thinking of this, the True Lord of the College lightly tapped his fingertip, and a series of talismans flashed, reflecting into the surrounding air.
In an instant, the weather changed drastically, a strong wind arose, and shockwaves propelled the group of Dazhuan Zhenjun toward Zhang Yu's location.
Watching this scene, Mu Qiansi thought to herself, "It's talismans again... This guy can drive the power of the divine power network like a talisman expert even without a true god. Is this level of talisman skill really something a college graduate can achieve?"
On the other side, the Great Master Zhenjun naturally ignored what his subordinates were thinking. He was summoning wind and increasing the power of his magic weapons and magical bodies to accelerate, focusing solely on catching up with Zhang Yu and making sure he didn't let the other get away.
The reason why the Great Master was so determined to get Zhang Yu was, of course, his own.
"Everyone!" Dazhuan Zhenjun said to the viewers in the live stream, "Next, I will be live streaming my pursuit of Zhang Yu!"
"I want the whole world to know that a good junior college is no worse than the top ten universities, and what about the strongest undergraduate university? We'll crush them today!"
"I'll change the name of the live stream right now, to 'Chasing Zhang Yuzhong'..."
With Dazhuan Zhenjun's words and the change of the live stream's name, the live stream instantly became abuzz, with popularity soaring and the number of viewers increasing.
Seeing more and more people, the College True Monarch continued, "Everyone, Zhang Yu is, after all, one of the top ten strongest undergraduates, a Nascent Soul disciple, a super rich man who can give money to hundreds of millions of people. Even Taihao True Monarch and Devouring Heaven True Monarch have been defeated by him one after another."
Looking at the rapidly scrolling comments in front of him, Dazhuan Zhenjun continued, "I'm not backing down, everyone listen to me, I'm going all out today, I might even go bankrupt in the end."
"So I hope everyone will give me a like and save this post, for the sake of me standing up for college students and for us poor people. Those who have money can also donate to support me and increase my chances of winning today..."
As the number of donations gradually increased, Dazhuan Zhenjun began to smile inwardly.
"As a junior college student, do I want to defeat the strongest undergraduate students from ten top universities and bring honor to junior college students?"
Seeing the rapidly refreshing barrage of comments, Dazhuan Zhenjun knew that this was definitely not his goal. As for using this incident to gain traffic and tips, that was just something he did incidentally.
The true purpose of the "Great Master" is related to his identity as a follower of an evil god.
Whenever he thinks of this, Dazhuan Zhenjun feels a pang of emotion, marveling at the wondrous changes of the world.
The True Lord of the College, whose real name is Li Qiuxian, is 152 years old and has a high school education.
Li Qiuxian was not a good student when he was young. He did not get into university or junior college. After graduating from high school, he joined a gang and made a living by selling fake medicine.
Selling genuine or counterfeit medicines with no copyright but possessing medicinal effects is something he and his gang certainly wouldn't dare do. But selling counterfeit medicines without any copyright or medicinal effect is something they're quite bold about. After all, the former is a serious crime that erodes the interests of companies and universities, while the latter is merely defrauding the poor.
The business of selling counterfeit medicine was originally quite good, and Li Qiuxian thought he could continue to work for the gang.
Unexpectedly, the gang later underwent corporate reforms, planning to transform itself from a gang that sold counterfeit drugs into a company that sold health products, requiring all members to have at least a college diploma. As a result, Li Qiuxian was eliminated.
Unwilling to accept defeat, he ultimately took a desperate gamble, forging his academic credentials and using a resume claiming to be a top student from Wanfa University to teach courses everywhere, charging exorbitant tutoring fees under the guise of imparting college entrance examination experience.
However, as the spiritual realm became more and more advanced, and the education system was updated time and time again, Li Qiuxian was eventually caught and began a life of unpaid labor.
Just when he thought his life was hopeless, he encountered a being known as the Evil God.
After becoming a follower of the evil god, he possessed abilities he had never had before: he could transform people's attention into the power of the evil god, or, in ancient terms, into the power of the evil god through so-called faith.
With the power of the evil god, he can manipulate the divine power network like an evil god, doing things that only evil gods and righteous gods can do, and he also has extremely strong concealment abilities.
So, under the guidance of the evil god, he began to learn rituals, spells, and the spirit world...
It was during this process that Li Qiuxian understood something.
"I... have the talent for immortality."
He felt a surge of anger as he experienced his talent, tears welling in his eyes: "My talent lies in spells and rituals!"
"It's just because I didn't have the money... that I wasn't able to show this talent in high school."
"It's because I don't have money that I've wasted my life like this."
"I... I've been held back! I've been held back by this damn Heavenly Court, this damn Ten Greats."
From then on, Li Qiuxian became a senior follower of the evil god, and under the guidance of the evil god, he joined the Feathered Ascension Cult, where he was responsible for secretly spreading the word and attracting people to the cult.
He grew step by step, relying on the protection of the evil gods, and even stepped into the Nascent Soul realm. He was even involved in the Yin Weapon Riot at Hehuan University.
Even today, with the earth-shaking changes and the start of the great war, the Righteous Alliance needs a figurehead for propaganda purposes, someone who can incite the grassroots of various schools and attract more traffic, popularity, and faith.
Li Qiuxian seized this opportunity, transformed into a True Monarch of the College, and received an unprecedented influx of resources.
The soaring popularity and attention, in particular, are a stroke of luck for cultivators in the finance field, but for him, they can be transformed into a massive amount of evil god power.
The disappearance of the righteous gods allowed him to use the power of the evil gods to recklessly manipulate the power of the divine network.
"So what if it's in the top ten?"
Looking at Mu Qiansi and Ying Zhoufan beside him, Dazhuan Zhenjun sneered inwardly: "They're all just working for me anyway."
He opened his arms as if to embrace the entire world.
"This is an era of great competition, an era where opportunities and challenges coexist."
"only……"
Looking at Mu Qiansi, Ying Zhoufan, and the others, and at the gradually dimming divine light in the sky, the Great Master True Monarch smiled in his heart: "For you, they are all challenges; for me, they are all opportunities. This is the best era for me."
Just then, the Great Master saw his opponent, and saw that proud figure standing in the sky.
"Zhang! Yu!"
He let out a long roar, his fingers forming a sword shape as they sliced through the air, unleashing countless incantations that instantly set the unsupervised divine power network ablaze.
"Take my move, 'Heaven and Earth United in Writing'!"
"First offense: murder."
After saying that, the Great Master pointed his finger, and Mu Qiansi behind him cried out in surprise as he threw her over.
In a divinely controlled network without divine oversight, a True Lord of the College can use the network to pin charges on his opponents.
For example, if a serious crime like tax evasion were successfully pinned on Zhang Yu, the Great Master Zhenjun could mobilize incredibly terrifying divine power to suppress his opponent.
However, even without the supervision of a righteous god, such a serious crime cannot be imposed by the Great Master on a whim.
Therefore, he needed to first frame Zhang Yu for some minor crimes, then gradually increase the severity of the crimes and record them in the divine power network.
So he proceeded from minor to major charges, starting with slight murder, then moving on to infringement, environmental damage, even tax evasion, and finally to the ultimate crime he could fabricate—counterfeiting.
Just like poisoning, gradually increasing the toxicity in the opponent's body, eventually turning the entire world into one's own power, using the ultimate force that only true gods can originally wield, to completely suppress or annihilate the opponent.
Now, he wanted Zhang Yu to kill Mu Qiansi in front of him first, and record the other party's crime of murder.
"If you don't want to kill me, then start with the charge of intentional assault..."
The True Lord of the College sneered inwardly: "Zhang Yu, let's see how many crimes you can withstand..."
Just as the Great Master was thinking this, the world suddenly trembled.
Then, to his astonishment, the sky and the earth were rapidly closing in at an unbelievable speed.
"What's this……"
The Great Master Zhenjun wanted to escape, but found that no matter how he moved, he could not escape the area covered by the heavens and earth.
Heaven and earth, like a pair of clasped hands, held these cultivators like flying insects in their palms.
boom!
When heaven and earth completely closed, everything before the Great Master Zhenjun's eyes was plunged into darkness.
The next moment, when he came to his senses, he found himself still standing in the same spot, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion, as if it had never occurred.
But there was one more person in front of the Great Master.
The Great Master's heart sank: "Slay the Immortal!"
The Immortal Slayer gave him a cold look and said, "You were just trying to attack Zhang Yu before I could?"
Dazhuan Zhenjun smiled awkwardly and remained silent.
The Immortal Slayer True Lord coldly said, "Hmph, you people... are always like this, trying to be clever, showing off, and stealing credit. This kind of personality will ruin things sooner or later."
"Remember this, from now on, don't act on your own when I give you instructions."
The True Lord of the College bowed his head and agreed, not daring to refute.
Immortal Slayer then tossed a scroll in his hand to College Master.
The scroll was like a screen, constantly displaying real mountains and rivers, as well as figures like Zhang Yu, Mu Qiansi, and Tianxiang Zhenjun.
Seeing this, the college student exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang Yu?"
The Immortal Slayer said calmly, "Zhang Yu has already been included in my Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map. Take them to the God of Report. I want you to broadcast live the scene of converting them into believers of the evil god."
The Great Master looked at the so-called "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map" in astonishment, recalling the scene of heaven and earth merging together just now, and couldn't help but say, "This Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map... just now covered this entire world and then absorbed it into it?"
"To be able to achieve this level, could it be a magical treasure from a celestial sect?"
The True Monarch knew that magical artifacts ranged in performance from teaching-grade, professional-grade, enterprise-grade, to military-grade. However, this was the first time he had ever seen a celestial-grade magical artifact that was above the military-grade level.
The Immortal Slayer True Monarch casually said, "That's right, it is indeed a magic treasure of the Immortal Sect. It forms its own world with a stable spatial structure. No matter how deeply Zhang Yu studies 'Kunlun in the Palm' or even 'The Great Void Barrier of the Three Realms and Ten Directions', he will never be able to break through."
Hearing what the Immortal Slayer True Lord said, the Great Master True Lord sighed inwardly, "As expected of a disciple of an immortal, he actually possesses such a magical treasure."
"Zhanxian... He is even more terrifying than I originally estimated. He is probably the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator on the entire battlefield."
Looking at the vast landscape map in his hand, the Great Master True Monarch was completely convinced. He felt that it was only natural that he hadn't been able to defeat Zhang Yu before the Immortal Slayer True Monarch.
"Speaking of which... if even the Immortal Slayer True Monarch has such methods, the Alliance Leader must be even stronger, right? It's truly remarkable that the top ten Nascent Soul cultivators can still hold on until now."
Just as the Great Master was pondering, the Immortal Slayer before him said, "Go, do as I instruct, and this time don't act on your own."
"I still have many people to kill."
Having said that, he turned around, his figure soaring into the sky, flying towards other directions of the battlefield.
Watching the figure of the Immortal Slayer disappear, the Great Master True Monarch finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. Many times, he felt more tired in front of the other party than in front of the Divine Transformation Monarch.
The reason is that the murderous aura emanating from the Immortal Slayer True Monarch was too strong.
"Even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't kill people indiscriminately, but this Immortal Slayer does."
The College True Lord felt that many times the Immortal Slayer True Lord was even without reason, not for profit, and would rather suffer losses to kill indiscriminately.
Turning his head, the Great Master looked at Zhang Yu in the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting, chuckled, pointed the camera at him, and asked, "Can you hear me?"
...
The painting depicts a vast landscape.
Since his battle with the Devouring Heaven True Lord, the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord had been severely injured and was eaten, leaving only a mangled body.
Originally, Zhang Yu thought that the matter was over after defeating the Devouring Heaven True Lord, but suddenly everything went black and he was trapped in the world of mountains and rivers in front of him.
Especially after hearing the conversation between the Immortal Slayer and the Great Master True Monarch that had just come from the sky above this space, his heart sank even further.
"Are they trying to convert us into followers of an evil god through live streaming?"
Celestial Phenomenon True Lord was extremely anxious: "Isn't this forcing us to oppose the Heavenly Court?"
He looked at Zhang Yu beside him, wanting to ask him what his countermeasures were.
But Zhang Yu, who had just clasped his hands together as if about to launch something, suddenly stopped.
"True Lord Zhuyi, do you have a way to escape?"
Looking at the landscape before him, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Just now, when I was about to activate the Immortal Descendant, I could feel a distinct resistance."
The mysteries of various spatial technologies flashed through his mind, along with his experience of breaking through the sky. He thought to himself, "This space is somewhat similar to the space created by the descendants of immortals; both are stable spatial structures."
"If I continue to activate the descendants of immortals, it might trigger a collision between the two dimensions..."
As he pondered the collision of the two spaces, Zhang Yu thought, "The descendants of immortals should still be a notch stronger; they might be able to break through this mountain and water space."
"but……"
Recalling the scene of being severely injured by the backlash after being carried by the Magnetic Pole and the Green Wood as a descendant of immortals to break through the sky, Zhang Yu estimated in his heart: "I'm afraid the collision of the two spaces will also cause me considerable damage."
"In addition, I had already used up most of my magic power, so my condition was even worse."
Of course, this was not the main reason why Zhang Yu did not immediately begin working on breaking through the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Painting.
"Report to the God?"
He pondered the words of the Immortal Slayer True Lord, thinking to himself, "Are they going to send me to the God of Reporting?"
Zhang Yu knew that the God of Reporting was the highest evil god of the Righteous Alliance, and currently the leader of all evil gods in the Righteous Alliance.
"Going to the God of Reporting is tantamount to going to the lair of the evil god, isn't it?"
Zhang Yu had always wanted to do something like helping Fu Ji hunt down the evil god, so that Fu Ji could improve, his own Yu Shu could also improve, and his talent potential could be further developed...
However, the evil gods of the Righteous Alliance have always been too cautious. They almost never use their true forms for any action, always hiding in the fifth level of Kunxu and remotely controlling their followers to carry out tasks.
This meant that Zhang Yu never had the chance to get close to the true form of the evil god of the Righteous Alliance, let alone help Fu Ji hunt these evil gods.
But this time...
"This is an unprecedented opportunity to get close to an evil god."
"But the lair of the evil god must also be fraught with considerable risks."
Should we take the risk, or give up?
Recalling the situation on the battlefield of the Nascent Soul stage, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If I can strike at the heart of the matter and suppress the evil god, it will not only greatly improve my own abilities, but also severely damage the Righteous Alliance, and even give me the opportunity to uncover many of their schemes..."
While pondering, Zhang Yu first sat down cross-legged and began trying to recover his mana, striving to return himself to his peak condition.
Seeing this, Celestial Phenomenon True Lord became even more anxious and asked, "True Lord Candlelight? Is there nothing you can do?"
Zhang Yu knew that his conversation within the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains painting would likely be overheard by the True Lord of the Great Learning outside. So he simply said to the True Lord of Celestial Phenomena, "I need to study the specifics further. Let's try to recover our condition first."
Seeing Zhang Yu's calm demeanor, Celestial Phenomenon True Lord sighed helplessly, looked at his own half of his body, and said, "How can I possibly recover?"
"Moreover, this place has neither spiritual energy nor resources, and even my magical power is difficult to restore."
The next moment, Celestial True Monarch suddenly looked at the nervous Mu Qiansi beside him and said, "You are the traitor from Hehuan University, aren't you? Do you know anything about the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map' of the Righteous Alliance?"
Mu Qiansi quickly waved her hand and said, "I was forced to come here by the Great Master Zhenjun. I know nothing about this 'Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map'."
On the other side, Zhang Yu took out a relic and began to silently absorb its magical power to replenish the energy he had just used up in the battle.
Just then, a question came from the sky from the Great Master.
Upon hearing the other party's voice, Celestial True Lord cursed, "You damn college graduate! I'd rather die than be a follower of an evil god!"
The Great Master chuckled and said, "Did I ask you? I was asking the Candlelight True Master."
"True Lord Zhuyi, don't you have anything to say? There are many people watching you right now."
Zhang Yu naturally didn't bother with the other party, as it only brought them traffic and attention.
While restoring his magical powers, he tried to connect to the spirit world network.
As if knowing what Zhang Yu was trying to do, the voice of the Great Master came again: "Zhang Yu, are you trying to connect to the spirit world? Are you trying to call for help?"
"It's a pity. I think this 'Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map' can sever the connection to the spirit world. I'm afraid you won't be able to contact outsiders."
Zhang Yu still ignored the Great Master, and after seeing the connection failure message pop up in his eyes, he turned his gaze to another piece of text.
It was a Taoist manual filled with dense text, and the Taoist technique was called "The Myriad Transformations of Freedom and Profound Skill".
After killing the Devouring Heaven True Monarch, Zhang Yu's first thought was whether he had obtained the other party's cultivation technique from the Soul-Guiding Pool of the Taiqing Talisman.
Zhang Yu was extremely interested in the Devouring Heaven True Monarch's ability to create numerous clones and unleash various military-grade martial arts techniques.
"Perhaps the secret to his abilities lies in his cultivation technique."
So after defeating the Devouring Heaven True Lord.
At that time, Zhang Yu used the Collapsing Heaven War God Armor to connect with the spirit world, activated the power of the Taiqing Talisman, and sent his thoughts to the Taiqing territory.
At this moment, memories of that time flashed through Zhang Yu's mind.
...
At that time, Zhang Yu walked to the Soul-Guiding Pool and checked whether there was any of the Devouring Heaven True Monarch's cultivation techniques inside.
As the battle progressed, secret manuals appeared in the Soul-Guiding Pool, all obtained by Zhang Yu or Zhang Pianpian from encountering the deaths of various cultivators.
Among these many secret manuals, there is one that is wrapped in layers of golden light, with countless phantom images appearing from time to time, showing a unique temperament.
Looking at the manual, Zhang Pianpian exclaimed in surprise, "The Soul-Guiding Pool collects the cultivation techniques and knowledge that left the deepest impression on the deceased, that they cherished most, and that they could not bear to part with."
"This 'Myriad Transformations Freedom Profound Technique' should be the technique on the body of the Devouring Heaven True Monarch. Not only was it firmly memorized by him, but he also practiced it countless times, making it an unprecedentedly profound memory."
"The depth of this memory far surpasses any secret manual that appeared in the Soul-Guiding Pool before; it has been engraved in his mind."
Zhang Yu took out the scroll "Myriad Transformations of Freedom and Profound Skill" and, with time accelerated by 20 times, began studying it together with Zhang Pianpian.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Pianpian exclaimed in surprise: "Brother, this 'Myriad Transformations Freedom Technique' is a Taoist art that refines the bloodline of demons and creates illusory clones."
"The content is not only exquisite and of a quality no less than that of the immortal sects, but it also forms a complete system and is vaguely related to the dark cultivation techniques you practiced before."
Zhang Yu nodded, thinking to himself that this cultivation technique was not only related to the "Boundless Inner Body of the Mind," but also to the "Wild Ox Soul-Suppressing Heart Technique," the "Crippled Ox Body-Sacrificing Heart Technique," and the "Demon Saint's Myriad Transformations Divine Scripture."
"This is one of the techniques from the Great Sage's successors within the Chain Technique Diagram."
"It is also the key to why the Devouring Heaven True Monarch was able to create various clones."
"That's probably one of the reasons why he was able to quickly master all sorts of military-grade martial arts."
...
And at this very moment, within the vast landscape painting.
Zhang Yu temporarily removed his armor, and then his body surged with clouds of qi, like a sea of clouds, completely enveloping his figure.
Celestial Phenomenon True Lord suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the sea of clouds.
At this moment, the Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch felt that from the ever-changing thick clouds and mist, there seemed to be occasional low roars, as if some giant beast was hiding and lurking within.
