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

Chapter 670 The Arrival of Chaos (Part 1)

Although he addressed the other party as a college graduate with the title of Golden Core, Zhang Yu still remembered the information provided by the Magnetic Extreme God Lord and knew that the old man in front of him was not a college student, but a college teacher.

A monk who can become a college teacher cannot be a college graduate; he must at least be a junior college graduate or a senior college graduate.

Furthermore, among those in middle and senior management positions at junior colleges, or principals and vice-principals, there are many graduates of the top ten universities.

For example, the college principal who once invited Zhang Yu to attend his senior year of high school was a graduate of Hehuan University.

Real college students are all at the Qi Refining stage. Even if they break through without a certificate now, they would at most reach the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone the Golden Core stage.

According to Zhang Yu's estimation, even if a college graduate were to immediately break through to the Foundation Establishment stage without any certification, the success rate of breaking through from Foundation Establishment to the Golden Core stage within the "three-year period" would be very low. It can be said that a true Golden Core stage college graduate does not currently exist.

The difference between a junior college student and a junior college teacher is like heaven and earth.

After all, even before breaking through without a certificate, these teachers had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage many years ago, making them the envy of college students.

Therefore, Zhang Yu was very surprised when he discovered that the college teacher in front of him might be the one who had broken through to the Golden Core realm.

Upon hearing that the other party said the reason for his Core Formation was that he couldn't afford a Golden Core, Zhang Yu began to ponder the matter.

"Having worked on the second floor for over a hundred years at the Foundation Establishment level, I still can't afford a Golden Elixir."

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "Kunxu struggle, Kunxu flower, I never thought of bringing one home..."

But then he thought to himself, "No, although Kunxu spirit coins are expensive to spend, it's not impossible for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to save 2 or 3 spirit coins a year after starting work. With a hundred or so years, it's not impossible to obtain a Golden Core before dying of old age. The real problem is... they don't have the certificate. Without the certificate, they simply won't think about saving money to prepare for the Golden Core."

Just then, the battles in other directions also ended.

Covered in starlight, Ye Xingli appeared behind Zhang Yu at some point and said, "After you've finished with Zhang Yu, bring everyone over to the assembly."

Seeing Hou Feifeng's indignant expression, Ye Xingli assumed that Zhang Yu had just provoked him, so she said, "You provoked them too? These college teachers are weak in both ability and mentality. Their mood fluctuates after just a few words. Provocation and mockery are indeed very effective."

"I don't know if it's because they've been in junior college for too long, their education level is too high, and they're older... I see that their mental state is not much different from that of junior college students."

As a disciple of the Magnetic God, Ye Xingli naturally highly valued her teacher's guidance. According to the Magnetic God, in the process of fighting the weak, knowing how to defeat them with the least amount of effort and resources is crucial in war.

"Exams and competitions are about bursts of energy, requiring you to unleash your strongest abilities in a short period of time. But war is something that requires careful consideration of attrition and cost control."

Clearly, interfering with the opponent's fighting state through a few words of provocation is a very worthwhile thing for Ye Xingli, since the cost of speaking is too low.

Hearing Ye Xingli compare him to college students, Hou Feifeng became even more furious, saying, "Can we be compared to college students? Aren't they just trash?"

Hou Feifeng, a college teacher, looks down on college students more than anyone else. In his own words, "They are my own students. How could I not know how rubbish they are?"

Seeing his excited expression, Ye Xingli didn't answer, but silently recorded with her eye fragment: Very effective, the control effect is very strong...

Zhang Yu, standing to the side, was already used to this. The top ten looked down on colonels and colonels, colonels and colonels looked down on junior college students, junior college students looked down on high school students, key high schools looked down on ordinary high schools... All of this was all too common in Kunxu.

Just then, the voice of the Magnetic God entered the ears of everyone present: "Complete the assembly within one minute."

Looking at the wild Golden Core cultivators being thrown over, the Magnetic Extreme God Lord, as if caring for stray animals, said, "How could you have injured them so badly?"

Seeing the Magnetic God's concerned expression, Zhang Yu understood that the other party was not genuinely concerned, but rather planning to capture these wild golden pills to work for her.

Just then, Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he realized that he was being watched.

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw several heads huddled together, like a group of rats, hiding in a pile of ruins, looking at them with fear.

"This is..." Zhang Yu thought to himself, "A college student who was kidnapped by those college teachers?"

People came and went all around. Wild golden pills were bound and sent onto the flying boat. A large amount of supplies in the factory were transported, and every single item was carefully inspected by everyone.

But this group of college students in front of them were completely ignored, whether Hou Feifeng was escaping, everyone was fighting, or Magnetism God was counting the spoils of war.

If there are still people who care about how badly those Golden Core teachers are injured, or who pity them for not being able to work properly, then these college students are like a wisp of transparent smoke.

They seemed to exist in the eyes of others, and no matter what kind of harm they suffered, what kind of loss they endured, or whether they made a sound or not, it seemed that no one cared.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu sighed again, knowing in his heart that this was the reality of Kunxu.

In Kunxu... only those who have value and a certain level of power will be cared about. Otherwise, no matter what happens to you, good or bad, no one will care.

If college students in Kunxu as a whole receive some attention, then as individuals they are like weeds, ignored by everyone.

Zhang Yu came to their side, and seeing them back away in fright, casually gave them a few sleeping pills.

"Eat up, then you won't need to sleep."

Upon seeing the sleep-inducing pills Zhang Yu had given them, the college students were overjoyed and began scrambling to grab them. They quickly distributed them according to their usual exam scores.

The college students who had taken the sleep-inducing pills opened their previously drowsy eyes. They, who had been suffering from insomnia tonight, suddenly became energetic.

Zhang Yu noticed two corpses not far away and asked, "Were they also your classmates? Were they beaten to death?"

The top-performing college student stepped forward and said, "He was in too much debt and didn't want to work here for free. He tried to sneak away, but the teacher found out and beat him to death, hanging him on the wall as a warning to the rest of us not to run away."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Just as Director Gao said, without the righteous gods to maintain order, cultivators will use the weak as slaves."

“Killing, destruction, looting... will probably increase.”

Zhang Yu raised his head, gazing at the distant horizon, at the fifth level where the fierce battle was still raging. He sighed inwardly, "Brother Dao hopes to change Kunxu, to change this world where everyone is ashamed of weakness. But Brother Dao..."

"The mess you've left behind, given the nature of the Kunxu people, will only become more unscrupulous and disregard the weak without the restraint of order, giving rise to a large number of bandits who burn, kill, rob, and commit all sorts of evil deeds."

"You can't possibly not know that there are probably no people on floors 2 to 5 who think like you."

"Is it really worth paying such a huge price in the face of the Heavenly Court's future descent?"

Fukihime said, "No matter how I think about it, I feel that what this guy did was not worthwhile. Maybe that's just the capriciousness of a sage. For him... maybe he doesn't consider the consequences at all. He just wants to do it, likes to do it, and can do it, so he does it."

“Throughout history, there have been countless powerful figures who arbitrarily transformed cities, countries, the world, and even the entire Kunxu according to their own ideas. This is the privilege of the powerful.”

Zhang Yu sighed, realizing he had been thinking too much. Such a big question was beyond the ability of a mere Golden Core cultivator like himself to answer.

In the Kunxu world, protecting even a few of his own people was already incredibly difficult, and being able to use the rules of the Ten Major Leagues to influence the world's direction was the limit of what he could do.

Shaking his head, Zhang Yu said to the college students in front of him, "Don't worry, you can go back now. They won't do anything to you here."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but the next moment his gaze sharpened.

"wrong……"

Zhang Yu turned his head again to look at the two college students' corpses and found that one of them was not dead.

"Still alive, or sleeping?"

"You're still sleeping after making such a scene?"

Zhang Yu sensed something was seriously wrong and immediately reported the situation to the Magnetic God.

Then someone came over to check on the sleeping college student.

Problems soon emerged...

“Virus.” Magnetism God looked up at the blood moon in the sky and said in a deep voice, “The Demonic Sect is secretly spreading viruses through this moon, and it’s not just the Dual Cultivation Virus. There are also Ascension Virus and Jobless Virus in here. They are probably new things created by the Evil God.”

"However, they spread the virus selectively, mainly targeting people with weak immune systems."

“College students, for example, have weak Dao hearts to begin with, and when they sleep, their willpower becomes even more vulnerable.”

"But you should also be careful not to let yourselves be exposed to the moonlight. As long as you are under the moonlight, you will be within their attack range."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu was startled: "Under this blood moon, I wonder how many members of the demonic cult are being created every day."

"Especially in these chaotic times..."

Zhang Yu frowned, thinking to himself, "Boycotts and unemployment will reduce income, create more poor people at the bottom, force them to commit crimes, burn, kill, and rob, and make the world more chaotic."

"As for the Ascension Virus... judging from the ways of these demonic cults and evil gods, it probably won't be simple."

On the other side, the Magnetic God Lord thought of something more: "Originally, without the presence of true gods, the cost of governance rose sharply. Coupled with the virus spread by the Blood Moon, the cost of maintaining basic order has skyrocketed again."

She gazed at the fierce battle raging in the fifth-level sky, thinking, "Are these guys deliberately delaying our operation to buy time for their war on the upper levels? We must speed things up..."

……

After the supplies were unloaded, Zhang Yu and the others quickly returned to the airship.

Zhang Yu took out his share of the medicine, opened it, and injected it into his body.

With a roar of qi and blood within his body, physical expression factors began to emerge, gradually forming the foundation of a Dao called Vajra Subduing Demons.

At the Golden Core realm, with each increase in physical strength, one can establish a foundation. Zhang Yu's Purple Mansion Golden Core can help him establish two more foundations when his physical strength reaches level 30, for a total of twelve foundations.

The process of establishing a foundation is quite simple: it involves multiple injections of medicine or surgical modifications to awaken the physical expression factors within the body.

As the physical expression factors that awaken differ, the foundation of the Dao obtained also differs. Naturally, there are levels within this, from the lowest level 1 to the highest level 4.

The Vajra Subduing Demon Dao Foundation that Zhang Yu is about to activate with the potion is a level 4 Dao Foundation, which can give the body a layer of damage reduction.

"After my physical strength broke through, it reached level 23.46. After injecting the medicine for another week or two, I should be able to complete the Vajra Subduing Demon Foundation."

"There are two more Dao Foundation Potions left from the factory, enough for me to complete the triple Dao Foundation, which is sufficient for now."

"Under normal circumstances, using a level 4 foundation potion would be quite expensive."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "But now it's like getting the Purple Mansion Golden Core for free."

Zhang Yu had to admit that while the upcoming Kunxu might become even more hellish for many weaker individuals, it offered him more opportunities.

Half an hour later, the group from Tianjian University parted ways with Zhang Yu and his group.

Zhang Yu: "Azhen, be careful when you get back. If anything happens, contact me during the day. I can ask the teacher for help."

Bai Zhenzhen nodded and said with a smile, "Yu Zi, safety comes first. We should avoid going to the battlefield if possible, unless it's a low-risk, high-reward situation like today."

Watching Bai Zhenzhen's departing figure, Zhang Yu continued on his way back, and soon the towering university town of Wanfa University appeared before him.

Upon returning to the university town, Zhang Yu's eye fragments quickly connected to the inner spirit world of the university town.

Under the blood moon, each university town was placed under a spirit realm blockade, and the spirit realm barrier was opened to sever the connection to the blood moon.

Through his Nine Nether Demon Eyes, Zhang Yu could see even more soul cultivators floating in the university city than before, taking over a large amount of work that originally belonged to the righteous gods to maintain the basic order within the university city.

Looking at the university town operating normally, Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After realizing the chaos in the outside world, the once narrow and cramped Wanfa University campus now seemed comfortable to him.

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "At least right now, the university town makes me feel safer..."

Fu Ji said, "Nonsense, no matter how oppressive the order of Kunxu is, it is still a kind of order. Now, apart from the top ten and the top-ranked colonels, it is only a matter of time before the other schools become a jungle society where the strong prey on the weak."

"It is estimated that within one or two years, more than 99% of mortals and more than half of those who have cultivated Qi will die."

Zhang Yu's heart sank upon hearing these words.

After winning the top ten league championship, becoming the number one student in the school, and advancing to the Golden Core realm, Zhang Yu was assigned to a larger dormitory.

The space is a full 80 square meters, far exceeding his original 30-square-meter luxurious dormitory, and all kinds of equipment needed for cultivation are also complete.

Zhang Yu had just finished moving when he received many messages from his classmates.

Mo Shangjin: Welcome back. Congratulations on breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
Feng Tingting: Senior, what's the situation outside? News is being blocked, is it very chaotic?
Yingxin: Boss, many soul cultivators from other places can only work half a day now. Should we reduce their wages?
Upon seeing this sentence, Zhang Yu couldn't help but smile helplessly.

In the past, there was no distinction between local and out-of-town soul cultivators when selecting talent. However, with the arrival of the Blood Moon, schools have become information silos, and the gap between local soul cultivators who can work 24 hours a day and out-of-town soul cultivators who can only work during the day has suddenly widened.

"As expected of Kunxu, this new hierarchy of contempt has been established very quickly."

Zhang Yu replied: Let's not worry about that for now.

He thought to himself, "I'll find an opportunity to bring Lao Zhao, Hu Yuntao, and Mo Tianyi to Wanfa."

Magnet Lord: I'll give you half a day to rest and arrange everything. You'll have missions starting tomorrow.
Magnet Lord: Get ready to work your hardest!

Director Gao: Have you decided on the title "Golden Core"? Don't underestimate this matter; a person's name is very important. Even the most powerful person will be looked down upon if they are called "Trash True Man."
Director Gao: A good title can enhance a person's prestige. Don't rush, there's a year to register for the title, you can take your time to think it over.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The title of Golden Core True Person... this is related to my future titles at the Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and even higher levels. What should I call myself?"

Bei Wufeng: You've done something truly amazing in the Top Ten Leagues this time. You'll probably be going straight to graduate school soon. Don't worry about the flying sword; take care of your own things first.

Upon seeing Bei Wufeng's message, Zhang Yu replied: Senior, I'll return the flying sword to you tomorrow. Thank you very much this time.
Looking at Zhang Yu's reply, Bei Wufeng sighed inwardly: "Alas, Zhang Yu is a Golden Core cultivator after all; it's normal that he wouldn't be interested in my Foundation Establishment flying sword."

After settling into his new dormitory and reviewing the information, Zhang Yu wasted no time and immediately began his cultivation at the Golden Core stage.

He had already pushed Kunlun in his palm to level 30. Various spatial technologies surged in his mind, but they made him understand a principle.

"Relying solely on the Kunlun Palm, with the spatial technology that a Golden Core cultivator can master, is unlikely to be effective in sealing off the current layers of space."

Zhang Yu seemed to see two paths before him. One was to plunge into the research of space technology and try to use the level 30 space technology to gain the ability to interfere with space blockade.

Another path is to quickly improve one's strength, break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible, and obtain level 40 spatial technology before considering anything else.

For Zhang Yu, the second path was the natural choice.

"After all, with my talent, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is probably easier than researching any space technology."

Zhang Yu bought a cultivation technique called "Golden Elixir Body Refining Method," and then his body trembled as he began to practice this body refining method.

Although according to Yu Shu's calculations, the number of times it takes to train from level 1 to level 30 is more than twice that of training from level 1 to level 20, Zhang Yu's current cultivation level is also incomparable.

Whether it's physical movement speed, reaction speed, or the speed of mana circulation and thought, he is now much, much faster than before.

Therefore, even though the number of times required for cultivation has increased, Zhang Yu's cultivation speed is actually faster now. He feels that he only needs a few days to push this body-refining technique to level 30.

This "Golden Elixir Body Refining Method" was specially selected by Zhang Yu and is a component of the "Golden Elixir Sacred Body" in the Chain Method Diagram.

"At my current cultivation speed, I can complete the Golden Core Saint Body in a month at most."

"Based on the effects of the High School Sacred Body and the University Sacred Body, the Golden Core Sacred Body will double my cultivation efficiency once again..."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu became even more excited and devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

At the same time, a large number of body-refining potions, mana potions, and energy potions usable at the Golden Core stage were also delivered, and Zhang Yu's account balance began to gradually decrease.

……

Just as Zhang Yu was diligently cultivating...

Within the spirit realm of the university town.

Magnetism God was seated in the main seat, with Director Gao sitting to the side. On the other side were Anzhen True Lord from the Department of Taoist Arts and Qiyun True Lord, the former vice principal.

"...Since that's the case, and given the current situation, the Nascent Soul Certificates will be awarded to True Monarch Qingmu, True Monarch Anzhen, and True Monarch Qiyun. Does anyone have any objections?"

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs below the stage nodded silently, clearly having no objection to the Magnetic Extreme God Monarch's preemptive action.

Magnetism God said coldly, "True Lord Qiyun, please summarize the current situation."

Qiyun Zhenjun said with a solemn expression, "Let's talk about the battle on the fifth floor first."

Before their eyes, images of the sky were projected, revealing battle scenes in the five layers of the sky.

"Since the start of the great battle, I have been sending people to observe and record the sky. It seems that our forces on the 5th floor are being pushed back one after another and are no match for the finance department."

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "The fifth floor is full of research institutes that connect various schools with giant companies. Even though there are no Nascent Soul cultivators in charge now, there are all kinds of defensive measures, as well as various cutting-edge magic treasures and artifacts made for the upper floors. Furthermore, a large number of elite Nascent Soul cultivators have gathered here. How could they be so vulnerable?"

Qiyun Zhenjun said, "What if the immortal who tore apart Kunxu left behind immortal-level technology for the financial system, the demonic sect, the evil gods...?"

Everyone's hearts sank upon hearing this.

Qiyun Zhenjun said, "Since this immortal dared to tear open Kunxu, it's not impossible that he would leave behind cultivation techniques and technologies for his own people. The ecosystem of the fifth level may have already begun to change drastically due to the emergence of immortal sect technology."

"Excuse my bluntness, but the fifth floor is no longer safe. It's only a matter of time before they attack the fourth floor as well."

"And with the spoils from the five layers of loot, their operations will become faster and faster."

Magnetism God nodded and then said, "Tell me about the situation on the second floor as well."

Then, in the scenes projected by True Monarch Qiyun, there were towering flames, corpses all over the ground, and a raging sea of ​​blood.

He said in a deep voice, "The battle on the fifth floor is not something we can see; everyone in the world can see it if they just look up at the sky."

"The appearance of the Blood Moon, coupled with the complete collapse of the fifth floor, encouraged a large number of cultivators on the second floor to attempt unlicensed breakthroughs and engage in various illegal and criminal activities."

"Nowadays, the second floor is not under the supervision of the gods and lacks the supervision of soul cultivators. Under the blood moon, only the ten leaders and some colonels can maintain order."

"In other places, looting is the best-case scenario. There have even been massacres at high schools, where large numbers of Qi Refining students were tortured and had their bones and souls extracted after the invasion..."

Qiyun Zhenjun said, "Everyone, a large amount of school assets have evaporated in places we cannot see."

"In addition to that, there is also the issue of resource consumption in Wanfa City."

"Without the true gods, although soul cultivators can be used as a temporary substitute, the cost of governance is rising sharply."

"In addition, all off-campus resource points have ceased operation. Given the population size of Wanfa City, the number of Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, and especially the large number of Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul cultivators who will be making breakthroughs recently, the daily resource consumption is even more terrifying than before."

"If we don't receive supplies from the outside world soon, it won't be long before our order is disrupted..."

As they listened to one piece of bad news after another, the expressions on everyone's faces grew increasingly grim.
