Chapter 696 Kunxu Underground Level 19, Nascent Soul Saint Body (6620+)
Just as the reporter was pondering this, 007 sent another message, inquiring about the arrangements for the cryogenically frozen people on the airship.
Report to God: Proceed according to the original plan. You must take good care of yourselves. I will hold you accountable if even one of them dies.
The three 007s who had just attacked the frozen people in the battle are now surprisingly becoming their protectors.
At this moment, they, like the Earthly True Lord, were willing to risk their lives to protect the lives of those frozen.
They piloted their airship and reunited with the other abducted cryogenically frozen people.
The frozen people here will participate in the Righteous Alliance's training, join the Exposing Demon University, and use the power of the spirit world and the dark spirit world to communicate with their relatives and friends, encouraging them to smuggle themselves into the Righteous Alliance.
...
At the same time, news of the massive attack on Tianmo University swept through the spirit world.
The abduction of millions of college students has caused widespread shock and alarm, prompting the top brass of Tianmo University to immediately deny the allegations, stating that no millions of college students were abducted and that at most tens of thousands had gone missing during the war.
The higher-ups at Tianmo University were furious about the abduction of over a million college students.
Many people hope to take revenge on the Righteous Alliance and reclaim more from their territory, but this is obviously not something that can be done easily.
For most people, the immediate priority is to recover their losses.
Even the Demon Lotus God, who was always immersed in the laboratory, had to spare a thought to pay attention to this matter.
He arrived at the conference room in the Spirit Realm, looked at the Nascent Soul True Monarchs present, and said coldly, "You have disappointed me. The Nascent Soul cultivators of the prestigious Heavenly Demon University have actually lost to a bunch of wild infants?"
"Do you know how much the stock price has dropped because of this? How much has the cryptocurrency price dropped? And how much have major companies suffered losses?"
"If you don't give all the shareholders a satisfactory explanation, then you'll all have to shoulder this responsibility together."
Just as Earth Soul True Monarch was about to speak, a Nascent Soul cultivator preemptively said, "It's not that we are weak, but that the forces they sent this time are too strong. They are definitely the pinnacle of Nascent Soul cultivators and have already mastered the immortal sect's techniques."
Another Nascent Soul cultivator said, "There might even be a Deity Transformation cultivator posing as one of them. If I hadn't been quick to react, I probably would have already been killed and taken to the Righteous Alliance."
"There must be Nascent Soul cultivators from other schools who have defected to the Righteous Alliance!"
"What Nascent Soul? I think it's just some Nascent Soul cultivator from another school taking advantage of the situation."
Hearing the other Nascent Soul cultivators' words, Earth Soul True Monarch thought to himself, "Damn it... they're all exaggerating even more than I am. They've even come up with the idea of a Nascent Soul cultivator snatching a college student?"
Seeing the gaze sweeping over from the Divine Lord of the Evil Lotus, the True Lord of the Earth Soul hurriedly said, "That's right, the Nascent Soul of the demon lineage I encountered this time might be a high-ranking leader from the Netherworld University or the Heavenly Demon University."
Many Nascent Soul True Monarchs uploaded their battle videos.
Scenes of battle were projected rapidly in front of everyone.
The scene where Zhang Yu directly confronted the True Monarch's attack attracted a lot of attention, as this scene was particularly special among the many battles between Nascent Soul cultivators.
"What a powerful monkey demon?!"
"Could this be a monkey from the Heavenly Demon University?"
"We should hold Tianyao University accountable; they must have been infiltrated by the Righteous Alliance."
...
Big hollow.
Space Technology Research Association.
When Zhang Yu returned to the lab, he looked as if he had just come back from a walk, showing no signs of having been through a fierce battle.
His eyes flickered slightly as he browsed the news from the spirit world.
At first, all the schools were reporting that Tianmo University had been attacked, suffered heavy losses, and was devastated.
But soon, it seemed as if a mysterious force appeared, and an invisible hand suppressed all these messages.
Immediately afterwards, news about the infiltration of the demon descendants of Tianyao University became a hot topic.
The next moment, a picture of a monkey demon came into Zhang Yu's view.
"High-ranking members of the Heavenly Demon Alliance suspected of infiltrating the Righteous Alliance? Massacre of 100,000 college students..."
"Warning: Recently, scammers from the Righteous Alliance may be impersonating the missing college student and contacting us..."
Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "When the hell did I kill 100,000 college students? Are they trying to pin the blame on me and Tianyao University?"
Fu Ji chuckled and said, "There's only one Nascent Soul cultivator at Heavenly Demon University. If we don't bully her, who else should we bully?"
As Zhang Yu watched the wanted poster for the monkey demon gain more and more attention, especially as it sparked discussions about discrimination against demons, it immediately caused a heated exchange among various factions in the spirit world.
During this period, Tianyao University issued several announcements stating that the monkey demon had no connection with the school and suspected that someone else was impersonating it using some kind of technology, but the attention was quickly suppressed.
As for the original topics about cryogenically frozen people and junior college students at Tianmo University, they were all completely buried.
Just then, Yu Xinghan came to Zhang Yu's side and started discussing the engineering issues outside.
"By the way, have you seen the news?" Yu Xinghan said, "The news about that monkey demon, who actually launched a sneak attack on Tianmo University all by himself and killed 100,000 college students. His strength is earth-shattering."
Yu Xinghan exclaimed, "And that video of him taking the hit of the opponent's Heavenly Demon Reconstruction Technique when he was at the peak of his Nascent Soul stage... Amazing, truly amazing. Has such a powerful demon actually joined the Righteous Alliance?"
Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said calmly, "You can't believe all the news. I think this is fake news that Tianmo University is using to cover up the truth."
A moment later, Zhang Yu returned to his office.
His office was less of an office and more of a meditation room, with all sorts of cultivation supplies neatly arranged, and it was much larger than his dormitory at Wanfa University.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu had already landed in the Dark Spirit Realm.
Unlike the various popular topics in the spirit world about demon descendants, monkey demons, and celestial demons, the dark spirit world is full of topics about the Heavenly Demon University exploiting frozen people, illegally operating corpse parts, and excessively depleting the lifespan of frozen people.
All sorts of discussions, insults, and attacks were focused on Tianmo University.
Even the Evil Lotus God, who cannot be mentioned even in the Spirit Realm, was subjected to a barrage of insults in the Dark Spirit Realm, and was even turned into various offensive memes.
Many college students from various regions left messages expressing their desire to escape the governance of the Ten Great Organizations and sneak into the Righteous Alliance.
Various human smuggling services have emerged as a result.
It was only then that Zhang Yu discovered that the Righteous Alliance had been supporting various smuggling businesses, using its control over the Sky Dome to guide college students to smuggle themselves from the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor.
Having witnessed the conditions in both the Spirit Realm and the Dark Spirit Realm, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Although they were in the same world, the focus and topics of discussion in the two places were completely different, as if they were in two different worlds.
Just then, a message arrived from the God of Fortune: God of Fortune, you have a powerful subordinate.
A significant portion of the evil god's power is manifested through his followers.
Zhang Yu's performance this time has clearly raised the God of Fortune's strength and status in the eyes of other evil gods.
In particular, the presence of a powerful demon descendant sparked speculation among the evil gods, who suspected that the God of Fortune had deeply infiltrated the Heavenly Demon University.
God of Fortune: What about the reward?
Report to God: Don't worry, I keep my word.
During their exchange, Fu Shen felt his authority within the Righteous Alliance rapidly increase. In the blink of an eye, he went from apprentice to disciple, then from disciple to steward, and finally from steward to leader, advancing three levels in one go.
At the same time, a large amount of evil god power surged towards Fuki, which she absorbed frantically.
Although the God of Fortune originally possessed the status of a second-level evil god, he never had enough evil god power to fill him, and thus could never fully exert his power.
Now that she has been filled with a massive amount of evil god power, Fu Ji feels her power has greatly increased, and she can do more things in both the spirit world and the dark spirit world.
Fuki said with satisfaction: Very good, I like evil gods like you who are generous enough in giving rewards.
God: As long as you complete the tasks I give you, you'll find that I've always been very generous.
Reporting God: What do you want to say about the Heavenly Demon University?
God of Fortune: No comment.
The Reporter God wasn't bothered by the other party's reluctance to reveal information; he simply smiled and replied, "My colleagues, the Alliance Leader, and I are all paying close attention to you."
God of News: There's a big event in the future that I'd like to invite you to participate.
Fortune God: What is it?
Report to the Gods: Regarding the detonation and splitting of the fifth level of Kunxu.
Reporting to the God: If this matter is completed, Heaven will be delayed for at least another year.
Reporting to the God: And if you perform exceptionally well, I can decide to allocate ten of the hundreds of small worlds that split off from the fifth level to you.
Report to the God: When these small worlds are reorganized into 19 underground levels, you will be the new landowner, with the foundation of the Evil God King.
In the eyes of the God of Retribution, the temptations he offered were enough to make any evil god work desperately for him.
After all, financial freedom, freedom of cultivation, and ultimately becoming a carefree evil god king—that is the ultimate dream of countless evil gods.
On the other side, Fukuhime was indeed shaken upon hearing this, and after ending her communication with the messenger god, she felt waves of heartache.
"This pancake is so delicious, but I can't eat it... I can't eat it."
Fuki knew that everything the god said had nothing to do with her.
Because she was kidnapped by Zhang Yu, her only option was to rush towards the sect with him.
Zhang Yu was shocked by the information revealed in the divine report: "The fifth level can be transferred down? Becoming the 19th level of Kunxu?"
Fu Ji sighed, "Theoretically, that's possible. After all, the spatial structure of Kunxu is man-made. Since it can be made like this, then changing the number of layers... Theoretically, that is indeed a possibility."
"As far as I know... the space 18 levels below Kunxu has been quietly expanding, but we don't know where this expansion is coming from..."
The topic was too far removed from their own lives, so Zhang Yu and Fu Ji discussed it briefly before moving on to gather intelligence. However, Zhang Yu realized one thing: to prevent the fifth level from being detonated, the top ten universities and the Righteous Alliance would inevitably engage in an unprecedented decisive battle on the fifth level.
Zhang Yu's initial purpose in coming to the Dark Spirit Realm and bustling around was to gather information from the Righteous Alliance about the Void Land.
At this moment, using Fu Ji's authority as the leader of the Righteous Alliance, Zhang Yu, who had just arrived in the intelligence zone, immediately saw a large amount of data and information that he couldn't see before being made available to him.
"Although it doesn't directly display the amount of empty soil or information about its storage location..."
As Zhang Yu perused the intelligence, he thought to himself, "But based on the intelligence from the battlefield, as well as the information on the various factories, transportation, and transactions of the Righteous Alliance, we can still roughly determine where the Void Soil will be produced and stored."
Zhang Yu understood that the immortal cultivation industry chain in Kunxu was traceable, with many factories having interconnected upstream and downstream relationships, and strictly adhering to the most reasonable, optimal, and profitable layout methods.
In addition, the top ten universities already possessed a considerable amount of information about the original layout of the three-tiered system; what they lacked was information about the operation of the three-tiered system under the governance of the Righteous Alliance.
Zhang Yu understood that he didn't even need to make the judgment himself; he only needed to hand over this intelligence to the top ten universities, and there would naturally be plenty of people capable of making accurate judgments from it.
"So...who should we give it to?"
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Who wants to seize the Righteous Alliance's empty land the most right now?"
Zhang Yu naturally couldn't just hand over all the data and information he obtained from the Righteous Alliance himself.
Given his current position, he doesn't need to gain merit through such matters; on the contrary, it's easy for such things to arouse unnecessary suspicion.
Zhang Yu originally planned to use the divine spiritual root in combination with the stealth ability of the evil god's ritual, along with the transformative power of the Demon Saint's Myriad Transformations Nerve, to stage a scene on a certain battlefield where the Righteous Alliance's intelligence was leaked, allowing the top ten universities to obtain the information.
However, now that Fu Ji's evil god power has greatly increased, she can hide her presence in the spirit world and spread various anonymous messages, which makes Zhang Yu's next task much simpler.
...
Demon University.
The Evil Lotus God Lord's gaze flickered, and lines of messages appeared in his eyes.
"Someone sent information about the Righteous Alliance to the school's complaint email address?"
Lord Nielian knew that at first, such information would be considered fake news, but since his subordinates dared to send it to him, it was probably already verified.
"It's actually the Righteous Alliance's supply chain layout? Hmm... can they find Void Earth?"
Upon seeing this, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in the eyes of the Evil Lotus God.
At the same time, other Nascent Soul cultivators from Tianmo University, as well as the school's higher-ups, also sent him messages.
After the Righteous Alliance abducted a million college students, the higher-ups of Tianmo University were furious and had always wanted to retaliate and recover their losses.
The current shortage and high price of hollow soil have made them see huge profits to be made.
Thus, the entire Tianmo University began to accelerate, much like a giant war machine.
But just as Tianmo University was preparing and testing the waters, silently clenching its fist and gathering strength like a giant, news came that Cangshi Shenjun of Tianyao University had single-handedly broken into the enemy's formation.
...
Kunxu has three levels.
On the fierce battlefield.
A colossal dragon shadow, as large as a mountain, streaked across the sky, its body adorned with production lines, factories, warehouses, laboratories, and more of all sizes…
This dragon shadow was none other than Cang Shi Shen Jun from Tian Yao University.
Several Nascent Soul cultivators pursued her from behind. The two sides fought and retreated, with dragon scales and blood constantly bursting from her dragon body, but not a single spoil of war fell to the ground.
"Mine...mine...all of them are mine..."
The God of Devouring Dragon bit down hard, unwilling to give up his spoils no matter how he was attacked.
Even every drop of dragon blood she dripped transformed into demonic offspring upon landing, which began to plunder and then carried their spoils back to their dragon bodies.
Bao Tong Shenjun, who was chasing after them, couldn't help but admire her in secret: "No wonder she can become a god. Cang Shi, this mother dragon, is probably the best in the ten schools in terms of breeding ability, and few can compare to her in terms of transportation skills."
"To deal with such a mother dragon's theft and robbery, it would require at least three of us at the Nascent Soul stage."
"But if we ignore her..."
Lord Baotong had no doubt that given enough time, the other party would be able to completely empty the Righteous Alliance.
...
Zhang Yu was looking at the news in the spirit world.
First, Cang Shi Shen Jun charged into the enemy's formation alone, and then Tian Mo University led a large army to launch a long-range attack on several strongholds of the Righteous Alliance on the third floor.
The first batch of Ruyi Rings of varying sizes produced were also used by Tianmo University in actual combat, greatly improving war efficiency.
After the Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Monster made their moves, other major universities also mobilized and launched a massive raid on the third level of Kunxu.
The course of the war is being influenced by the technology and intelligence provided by Zhang Yu.
In Zhang Yu's observation, the price of empty land continued to decline as the war progressed, declining and declining...and declining again.
The Space Technology Research Association was naturally allocated a large amount of empty soil for experiments.
...
In the spirit world.
The projection of the Magnetic Extreme God Lord flashed and looked at the Thunder Extreme True Lord, his junior brother, and frowned, saying, "What is it?"
Lei Ji Zhenjun asked, "Regarding the research association... do you all think that Zhang Yu was allocated too much empty soil? Does he really need so much for experiments?"
Magnetism God said calmly, "Zhang Yu is already the number one among the younger generation of Wanfa University, a future leader, and he also has immortal sect techniques at his disposal. If we don't invest in him, who should we invest in? Besides, he loves the school."
Thunder God was already used to the praise Zhang Yu received from Magnet God, Green Wood God, and others, but he couldn't help feeling that his senior sister was spoiling this disciple too much.
Just then, the Magnetic God Lord continued, "Thunder God, Qingming sent you to ask about this, right?"
"Tell him that Zhang Yu helped him achieve the Nascent Soul stage, and tell him not to forget that... don't be reluctant to give up something for a little bit of benefit."
"And you, you're already hundreds of years old, and you're still being used as a pawn all the time. I really don't know what to say about you..."
...
On the other hand, after obtaining a large supply of empty soil, Zhang Yu once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, especially the cultivation of the immortal sect's Taoist technique "Three Realms and Ten Directions Great Void Barrier".
Zhang Yu believed that as long as he could raise this Taoist technique to level 40, he would master a technology that would completely change the course of the war.
Whether he wants to join a sect or make the impact he desires on the world in the future, this is of paramount importance.
"Back on Earth, perhaps like Brother Dao, we could unite the lower and middle classes to overthrow the upper classes and fight our way up... There's a saying that 'the most righteous way to gain power' is the most benevolent method to change the world."
“But Kunxu is completely different…” Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: “Whether it’s the path of immortality or science, we need to be realistic and respond according to the circumstances.”
"In a place like Kunxu, where there is supreme power and a strong individual can wield the power to destroy the world, if you want to change the world, you have to climb up and become the strongest in the entire system, and change the entire system with your own will."
"Top-down change... this... can be said to be the most righteous and realistic way for Kunxu to change the world."
"And the weak, they can't even explore the entirety of Kunxu, and they don't even know who their opponents are..."
"I want to join a sect, I want to become stronger, richer, and master more immortal techniques..."
After experiencing one thing after another, Zhang Yu's mind began to stir with even more thoughts of wanting to change the world.
At this moment, he was no longer simply forced to join the sect because of the ritual.
If Zhang Yu wants to climb higher, he naturally needs more resources for immortal cultivation, and the Space Technology Research Association in front of him is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"By leading the development of the research association, managing massive amounts of funding, and influencing countless industrial chains, I can definitely accelerate my cultivation."
Of course, besides the level 40 immortal cultivation techniques, Zhang Yu also understood that his own strength was equally important. Whether it was basic stats or the levels of various cultivation techniques and magic weapons, there were still many areas where he needed to improve.
Time passed steadily as Zhang Yu focused on his cultivation.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
...
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered as he looked at the data on the Yu Shu.
Dao Heart Level 35 (52.78%), Mana Power 33936 units, Physical Strength Level 35.66.
Based on these three basic data points, Zhang Yu knew that he had already entered the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in less than two months after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
In addition to the two mental cultivation techniques that had already reached level 40, he also had 10 body refining techniques that had all reached level 40, which helped him complete the construction of the 'Nascent Soul Holy Body'.
Nascent Soul Holy Body
Primary - Nascent Soul Holy Body (6/6): The distance the Nascent Soul travels from the body is doubled. This effect still applies after switching to the Chain Magic Diagram set.
Superior - Nascent Soul Holy Body (8/8): The effect of Nascent Soul blessing techniques is doubled. This level still takes effect after switching to the Chain Technique Diagram set.
Ultimate - Nascent Soul Holy Body (10/10): Increases the cultivation efficiency and effect of all Nascent Soul cultivation techniques by 2 times.
It was precisely because of the various enhancements provided by the Nascent Soul Saint Body that Zhang Yu's cultivation progress continued to surge.
Furthermore, Zhang Yu's Heavenly Sun Divine Sword and Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword, both military-grade magic treasures, have been refined to the level of Nascent Soul (level 31).
"My experimental group lacks a Nascent Soul expert to oversee things. Yan Qianji and the others can only refine their magic weapons to level 30 at most. If it weren't for the help of True Monarch Xianyin, they wouldn't have been able to reach level 31 at all."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "When our influence expands in the future, I'll still need to summon some Nascent Soul cultivators to help."
As for the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor, Zhang Yu understood that unless the Magnetic Extreme God Lord personally spent time refining it for him, he would have to wait for him to do it himself. After all, the University of Ten Thousand Laws had only had this military-grade magic weapon for a short time, so no one had studied it.
The next moment, Zhang Yu opened his hands, and an invisible barrier unfolded in his palms.
The level 21 Three Realms and Ten Directions Void Barrier was activated, creating a spatial barrier in Zhang Yu's palm.
"As the level increases, the spatial barrier can cover a larger area and the spell can be cast faster."
"But even a level 40 Three Realms and Ten Directions Void Barrier could not possibly set up the sky that seals off all the layers now."
Zhang Yu, who had advanced this immortal cultivation technique to level 21, was filled with related knowledge and key points, feeling as if he had been practicing this technique for many years.
He surmised in his mind: "The Righteous Alliance must be relying on formations to seal off the sky."
“Some of them probably started secretly practicing this immortal technique a long time ago and studied the related technologies.”
Just then, a message from the magnetic pole appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.
Magnet Lord: I've seen your latest design drawings.
Magnetic God: Well done
Over the past month, after mastering the Three Realms and Ten Directions Void Barrier and reaching level 11, Zhang Yu activated the power of Heavenly Craftsmanship and Spiritual Essence, combining it with existing magic weapon blueprints to create a magic weapon design.
There are space warehouses that incorporate spatial scaling technology.
There is also the potential to further develop space barrier technology, which could temporarily create a space shield.
Every time Magnetism Lord saw Zhang Yu's design drawings, he would sigh, "That kid Zhang Yu, every time he designs something I want to make."
Since taking the lead of the research association, Magnetism God has also developed a variety of products, including airships that utilize space technology and space locks used to block opponents.
Zhang Yu's design drawings made her feel that they were designs she wanted to design but didn't have time to design.
Especially in the development of space technology, he is always one step ahead of her, bringing her a lot of inspiration.
"Is it the influence of the immortal sect's cultivation techniques?" Magnetism God Monarch thought to himself. "Every time the immortal sect's cultivation techniques are improved, he has gained a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of spatial technology."
At this moment, Zhang Yu saw the message sent by the Magnetic God and couldn't help but ask: Is it going to be released?
Magnet Lord: Hmm, everything's almost ready. It's time to release a few new products.
