What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 668 Breakthrough to Golden Core (Part 2 Combined)

Wen Wuyai crossed his arms and listened to Zhang Yu's words. He adjusted his chest slightly and said casually, "You want to take Zhenzhen away? No problem, as long as she agrees."

Zhang Yu asked, "Where is she?"

So Zhang Yu followed Wen Wuyai to a room, where he saw a spiraling longsword quietly floating in mid-air, surrounded by layers of arrays, spiritual energy circuits, and magical energy circuits.

"Ah Zhen!" Zhang Yu hurriedly walked up and said to the spiral longsword, "Come with me to Wanfa University. My master, Magnetism, has become the principal. Let's go and become the second generation of the school together."

Seeing that the spiral sword did not respond, Zhang Yu continued, "In your current state... I'm afraid that if you go back to Tianjian University, you'll be used as a sword."

Seeing the still silent longsword, Zhang Yu's heart sank.

He thought of how the universities under the red moon had become information islands, and how the soul cultivators, now disconnected, were also trapped in these information islands.

Zhang Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at Wen Wuyai beside him, saying, "Has A-Zhen already lost connection?"

"Then wouldn't she be stuck at Heavenly Sword University right now as a soul cultivator?"

Thinking of Bai Zhenzhen becoming a soul cultivator and staying at Tianjian University, and the Seven Emotions Divine Lord having already departed with the sixth level of Kunxu...

Zhang Yu seemed to have already seen Bai Zhenzhen, once the school's goddess, become a soul cultivator who had fallen to the bottom of the Heavenly Sword University's hierarchy of contempt, becoming the object of humiliation for countless people, with new words of "respect" being produced for soul cultivators every day...

Thinking that Ah Zhen might be living a similarly miserable life as Zhao Tianxing, a college student, Zhang Yu felt a surge of anxiety.

Just then, a sound of footsteps came from outside, and a familiar figure came into Zhang Yu's view.

"Ah Zhen!" Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen in surprise and said, "You've been resurrected?"

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen's figure, he noticed that she had become more slender and graceful than before. If she was more like a gymnast before, she now looked more like a frail ancient lady.

Bai Zhenzhen sighed, "The reason I told you not to spend money last time was because after the competition, Master had already started arranging methods to reshape my physical body."

"During this great upheaval, my master feared that after she left, I would become someone else's flying sword, so she used all her power to complete the reconstruction of my physical body before the connection was severed."

She looked at her new body with some dissatisfaction and shook her head: "I don't know what she was thinking, she cut corners everywhere."

Bai Zhenzhen touched her arms and thighs and commented, "I was never this thin before. Sigh, all that hard work I put into getting this great figure... I'll have to eat it all back and get it back now."

Zhang Yu asked, "Ah Zhen, did you hear what I just said? Come with me to Wanfa."

Bai Zhenzhen pondered for a moment and said, "Yu Zi, I want to go to Wanfa with you."

"But before my master left, she gave me the key to her Tianjian University, asking me to guard and manage the Sword Pavilion and the other assets she left on the second floor."

“I’ve already promised her, so I can’t just leave like this.”

Bai Zhenzhen wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and said with shining eyes, "I must protect Master's property and not allow it to be lost."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "You freaking want to take it for yourself, don't you?"

Zhang Yu reminded him, "Be careful."

Bai Zhenzhen: "Don't worry, I understand."

Zhang Yu suggested, "It's inconvenient to travel at night. Why don't you people from the Heavenly Sword Sect hide with us? Once the avatar of the Magnetic Extreme God arrives, you can set off with us. We can escort you for part of the journey."

"I think it's fine." Bai Zhenzhen nodded and looked at Wen Wuyai beside her.

Wen Wuyai said, "I'll go talk to the teacher in charge. It should be fine."

After Wen Wuyai left, Zhang Yu immediately rushed to Bai Zhenzhen, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "Zhenzhen, let's hurry up and switch back!"

Sensing the spiritual roots pushing against Zhang Yu's stomach, Bai Zhenzhen immediately nodded, relaxed her mind and body, and accepted the two spiritual roots circulating within each other's bodies.

As her true spiritual root returned to its place, Bai Zhenzhen shuddered slightly and touched her stomach with some discomfort: "It's so bloated."

Zhang Yu also touched his stomach and said, "I can feel your magic power; it's making me feel all tingly and numb."

Zhang Yu, who had regained his spiritual root, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Bai Zhenzhen, asking, "When the Seven Emotions God Lord reshaped your physical body, did he discover the problem with your spiritual root?"

Bai Zhenzhen shook her head: "Probably not? I'm not sure. After Master finished reshaping my physical body, she disconnected the connection. Even if I wanted to chat with her a little longer, I couldn't."

So the two teams from Wanfa University and Tianjian University then joined forces.

One after another, the flying boats hid in the clouds, temporarily concealing themselves, waiting for the avatar of the Magnetic God to arrive.

Zhang Yu also prepared to enter the meditation room to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Just then, Zhang Yu felt a tremor in the heavens and earth, and streaks of light flashed across the sky.

Zhang Yu quickly looked up and saw that from the third, fourth, and fifth layers of the sky, it seemed as if invisible chains were shooting out, sealing off each layer of the sky.

Zhang Yu, who cultivated immortal techniques, could sense that the seal contained a trace of spatial fluctuation, a kind of spatial isolation.

张羽心中一震：“之前6到2层被天庭彻底打通，原本还以为6层消失之后，没有了天庭的干预，2到5层会一直是联通的状况，现在看来……这是天空被封锁了？2、3、4、5层之间重新被分离了？”

"Who did it?"

The first thought that came to Zhang Yu's mind was naturally the Heavenly Court.

But he quickly shook his head, thinking to himself, "The Heavenly Court has already lost contact, and if it could be blocked, it would have been blocked long ago."

Just then, Fu Ji's voice rang out: "It's not the Heavenly Court, it should be someone under Brother Dao. The Finance Department? An evil god? Or a demonic sect? It could be all of them."

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat: "Fu Ji, you're awake?"

Fuki said, "With such a commotion, how could I not wake up... I've just been observing and thinking quietly."

Looking at the sealed-off layers of sky, Fuki said, "When the battle broke out on the sixth floor before, and the two sides were pulling each other, there was a tremor on the second to fifth floors. This is probably because that 'Brother Dao' set up something on the second to fifth floors to counteract the spatial interference from above."

"Now it seems that this arrangement is not only used to counter interference from above, but also to carry out a blockade."

"If they block off the sky, but their own people can move freely between different levels, then they can freely deploy troops between levels 2 and 5, using superior numbers to fight against inferior forces, and the strong to attack the weak..."

Hearing Fu Ji's words, Zhang Yu felt a sense of unease.

As if in response to Fu Ji's idea, streaks of lightning and fire began to light up the sealed fifth level of the sky, as if a great battle had already broken out in the fifth level of Kunxu.

Fuki said, "This is bad. If they gather their power from the 2nd to 5th floors and sweep down layer by layer, they might actually be able to defeat us."

Zhang Yu asked with some surprise, "Fu Ji, you don't want Dao Ge and his team to win either?"

Fu Ji said, "First of all, can that Dao Ge really come back? After this battle, I don't believe he can be completely unharmed. He must have been severely injured by the higher-ups, and might even be on the verge of death. Even if he's lucky enough to survive, how can he recover his strength within three years with only a sixth-level cultivator?"

"I think his so-called promise to come back is just empty talk, a slogan used to bewitch the people. Only those fools who are lower-ranking officers, college students, and demon descendants would believe him as soon as he says it."

"Secondly, now that Brother Dao is not here, his subordinates are in charge of the Finance Department, the Evil God, and the Demonic Cult. If these guys knock us down 2 to 5 levels, do you think we'll have anything good to do?"

"Finally, even if they cause no more trouble than they have now, the Heavenly Court will eventually descend. When they see that floors 2 to 5 have been occupied, won't it be another massive cleanup?"

At this point, Fuki sighed repeatedly, "Alas, this is not good."

As Zhang Yu watched this scene, the images of Dao Qiankun trying to take him away in the end flashed through his mind.

A thought suddenly occurred to him: "Brother Dao said that I chose 'Kunlun in the Palm' and possess his bloodline power, so staying here is too risky..."

"The Kunlun in the palm of your hand possesses spatial technology, and if the bloodline power refers to the descendants of immortals, then it also involves the power of spatial technology."

"So... Brother Dao is worried that I might affect the plan."

Zhang Yu looked up at the layers of blocked sky and thought to himself, "Is he worried that I will use space technology to break through the blockade?"

Zhang Yu shared his thoughts with Fu Ji, but omitted the part about the immortal's descendant and only talked about the Kunlun in the palm of his hand.

Upon hearing this, Fu Ji's eyes lit up: "What you said makes sense. Speaking of which, why did you come up with the idea of ​​choosing the Palm Kunlun?"

“I’ve missed too much information about the events surrounding the top ten leagues. Can you tell me about them?”

Zhang Yu said, "Take a look at my WeChat Moments and the news I've saved. Get a general idea of ​​everything first, and then I'll tell you some details."

Looking up at the fierce battle raging on the fifth floor in the sky, Zhang Yu shook his head, suppressed his distracting thoughts, and entered the quiet room.

Zhang Yu understood that no matter what happened next, his own strength was of paramount importance.

While we are living in an era of growing chaos, we also live in an era full of opportunities.

For example, his imminent breakthrough to the Golden Core realm...

Zhang Yu took out a golden pill and swallowed it. The next moment, golden light emanated from his body, his aura increased violently, and streams of magical power surged towards his dantian like magma.

Golden Core Realm... Breakthrough!
Zhang Yu knew that in the immortal system of Kunxu, each type of Golden Core used to break through to the Golden Core realm had different effects, and the more powerful the Golden Core, the more powerful the cultivation required to promote it.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu's cultivation at the Foundation Establishment stage was unparalleled, and there was no Golden Core that he could not activate in the school's supplies.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If I were to use all my strength to run the Golden Core test, I could probably get over a million points." "In ancient times, it would be the best of the best among top-grade Golden Cores, and could be called a Heavenly Grade Golden Core, a Super Grade Golden Core, or a Supreme Golden Core."

"This is the potential I have accumulated in the Foundation Establishment stage. Although it seems that my basic data such as Dao Heart, physical strength, and magic power have not changed, the various martial arts and Dao techniques, military-grade power, immortal sect techniques, and divine spiritual roots have greatly expanded my potential."

The golden pill that Zhang Yu chose from the school's supplies this time is called the Purple Mansion Golden Pill, which is the most suitable golden pill for breaking through realms.

The Purple Mansion Golden Core is not only the Golden Core that provides the greatest benefit for breaking through realms, but it also has a variety of wonderful uses after a Golden Core is achieved. It can enhance the potential of Golden Core cultivators, and its market price is as high as 3000 spirit coins or more, which is an astronomical price for most Golden Core cultivators.

However, precisely because the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir is mainly used for true breakthroughs and is not very useful for Foundation Establishment and self-destruction of the Golden Elixir, it was found to be extremely rare in the supplies prepared by the school for the Top Ten Leagues.

"Now that so many Golden Core Certificates have been issued at once, the price of Purple Mansion Golden Cores is likely to skyrocket. If it weren't for this opportunity, I really don't know when I would be able to afford one on my own."

At this moment, as Zhang Yu fully entered the Golden Core realm, he felt as if the Golden Core in his dantian was boiling. Streams of magical power poured into it and then swept out, rushing throughout his body and finally converging on his brain.

drink!
With a soft shout, Zhang Yu circulated his full power according to the breakthrough method, and the next moment he felt his mind undergo a kind of sublimation.

It was as if billions of thunderbolts exploded in his mind.

At this moment, every ounce of flesh and blood, every wisp of magical power, every cell, and every thought in his body... bloomed wildly before his eyes.

All sorts of martial arts and Taoist techniques from the past flashed through his mind like a fleeting glimpse.

Since birth, Zhang Yu has never understood himself or been as insightful about himself as he is now.

In particular, with each fluctuation of his thoughts, the Purple Mansion Golden Core in his dantian responded and pulsated, quickly becoming a part of his body, assisting his mind in perceiving his entire body and stabilizing his sea of ​​consciousness, thus completely releasing the potential he had accumulated through repeated cultivation and various military-grade powers.

And the Dao Heart, which had been firmly limited to level 20 by the Foundation Establishment Realm, is now growing rapidly.

Level 20 (15.21%)

Level 21 (44.89%)

Level 22 (78.56%)

His Dao Heart surged to level 22, almost reaching level 23.

With the breakthrough of his Dao Heart, Zhang Yu immediately felt that his physical body had also broken through some kind of constraint, shattering its original limits. Under the infusion of the power of the Golden Core, every bit of flesh and blood and magic power were further tightly combined, transforming into a higher quality existence.

Explosive power surged through his flesh and blood, and Zhang Yu's physical strength, which had not grown for a long time, began to surge like never before.

20.05!

21.55!

23.46!

His physical strength increased by a full 3.46 levels before stopping. Feeling the surging power within him, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "As expected of someone with a Golden Core score of over a million, and as expected of a Purple Mansion Golden Core worth over 3000, it pushed my physical strength at the Golden Core stage by a third in one go."

"Next up is magic power!"

As the surrounding arrays operated violently, waves of intense spiritual energy rushed towards him, which Zhang Yu absorbed into his dantian and continuously transformed into magical power.

As the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir truly became a part of Zhang Yu's body, under its blessing, his efficiency in transforming spiritual energy, absorbing magical power, and circulating magical power all increased exponentially.

A large amount of magical power converged towards the Purple Mansion Golden Core.

And the mana that hadn't increased for a long time was now starting to loosen up and then began to surge!
1512!

2122!

2890!

As Zhang Yu exhaled a breath of white air, he felt a surge of energy within his golden core, and the magical power within it had reached a limit he could control.

"That's about it. The potential I've accumulated in the Foundation Establishment stage has now been fully unleashed."

"Next, we will cultivate step by step and continue to improve our physical strength, magical power, and Dao heart."

At the same time, he sensed the dantian within his body and perceived the wonders brought by the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir.

"First is the Dao Heart. After entering the Golden Core realm, the improvement of the Dao Heart can increase one's own computing power, allowing cultivators to control more Dharma Bodies and magic treasures."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Even if a Golden Core cultivator with a few hundred spirit coins breaks through to the next level, and even if their Dao Heart is raised to level 30 and their computing power is increased, they can at most master a dozen or so military-grade magic treasures."

"But with my breakthrough using the Purple Mansion Golden Core, my computing power limit is above 30 military-grade magic treasures."

As he pondered, Zhang Yu clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his flesh and blood, and thought to himself, "There is also the physical body. The physical body of a Golden Core stage cultivator is already a complete combination of magic power and flesh and blood. In addition to continuing to simply improve the strength of the physical body, it can also develop physical expression factors, which are also known as the Dao Foundation."

"A few hundred gold cores can develop a total of 10 Dao Foundations. Each Dao Foundation can bring a passive attribute to the physical body. Furthermore, due to the unity of the physical body and mana, the Dao Foundation can also benefit the physical body."

"But my 3000 spirit coins of golden core are enough to develop 12 levels of Dao foundation, and the upper limit is even higher."

Zhang Yu recalled the information he had read about the Golden Core realm and knew that different directions of strengthening the Dao Foundation would lead to completely different strengths for Golden Core cultivators with the same physical strength, ranging from being good at material transport to being good at combat, and then to being good at research and development, resulting in completely different development paths.

According to Zhang Yu's own understanding, the so-called 12-level Dao Foundation means that he can gain 12 more passive skills to enhance his physical body.

At the same time, as the magical power within his body surged back and forth like the Yangtze River, Zhang Yu felt something within his body that seemed to be growing out faintly.

"Besides simply accumulating mana, those in the Golden Core realm can also use mana to open up extraordinary meridians and construct techniques, which will passively increase the power of a particular technique."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "After reaching the Golden Core Realm, the main enhancements and directions of enhancement will differ depending on the opening of extraordinary meridians and the construction of different techniques."

"Some cultivators enhance their ability to interfere with the material world on a larger scale, resulting in extremely high work efficiency; others possess faster displacement speeds, enabling them to escape more quickly; and still others strengthen their professional skills."

"The combination of Dao Foundation and Extraordinary Scriptures allows each Golden Core cultivator to have a different direction for strengthening."

"Compared to the eight extraordinary meridians that can be opened by a Golden Core costing several hundred yuan, my Purple Mansion Golden Core can open up nine extraordinary meridians."

"Opening up the nine extraordinary meridians in the body is equivalent to having nine passive skills that enhance a specific cultivation technique."

Feeling the Purple Mansion Golden Core quietly circulating within his dantian, Zhang Yu felt increasingly satisfied with the potential brought by this top-grade golden core.

However, Zhang Yu did not intend to continue cultivating immediately.

"The supplies we took with us are all for the preparation of the Top Ten Leagues, and they are all for Foundation Establishment."

"Now that I've broken through to the Golden Core realm, there's very little of this batch of supplies that's useful to me, and even less of anything that can be used for Golden Core cultivation."

"I wonder how many cultivation supplies my master will give me after I return to the university town? If it's not enough, I'll have to buy them myself, right?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu sighed and looked at the cold 1000 spirit coins in his account.

These are the fees he received from various companies for endorsements and advertisements before and after the finals and awards ceremonies.

Although the world has changed drastically, Zhang Yu sees spirit coins as a kind of digital currency. They do not become invalid because the spirit world is disconnected, and can still be used even if the two parties to the transaction are not connected to the internet.

"1000 spirit coins may seem like a lot, but I need to upgrade all my equipment, Taoist techniques, and martial arts to the Golden Core realm. I also need to improve my physical strength, Taoist heart, mana, and mana quality... as well as strengthen my Taoist foundation and open up my extraordinary meridians..."

As Zhang Yu calculated, he realized that the money was not enough, at least far from enough for him to reach the peak of the Golden Core stage.

"Forget it, don't think about it for now."

Zhang Yu shook his head, no longer thinking about money, and decided to continue his cultivation.

Without the resources needed for Golden Elixir cultivation, the efficiency of one's own arduous cultivation is too low.

Therefore, Zhang Yu decided to practice martial arts.

"Kunlun in the palm..." Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This is the most cost-effective martial art I can practice right now."

Since choosing this immortal martial art, one major event after another has kept Zhang Yu from having the opportunity to fully cultivate it.

At this moment, he made up his mind that his next priority was to advance this martial art to the Golden Core realm.

As Zhang Yu circulated his cultivation technique, the Kunlun in his palm was continuously activated. A spatial fluctuation emanated from Zhang Yu's palm and surged in all directions, slightly distorting the light around him.

With a distortion of light, the air in Zhang Yu's palm surged violently, sometimes expanding wildly as the gas expanded, and sometimes contracting as it contracted, creating waves of attraction.

The light shining on his hands flickered, as if it were dancing with his breath.

The Kunlun Palm Technique consists of only three moves, which Zhang Yu can execute in just a few seconds. In less than a minute, he has advanced the technique to level 2. He then continues his practice, advancing to level 3, level 4... and finally level 11!
This immortal cultivation technique was rapidly advanced in Zhang Yu's hands, reaching level 20 in just over two hours.

At the same time, countless images of his martial arts training flooded Zhang Yu's mind, and profound understandings of the Kunlun Palm emerged.

"correct……"

Zhang Yu's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself, "It's time to try turning Kunlun upside down."

With the addition of the Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood and Kunlun in the Palm, the Reversed Kunlun of the Chain Method Diagram has finally been completed with 8 sets, unlocking the second layer of effect.

Zhang Yu then decided to test the effect of the second layer.
