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

Chapter 681 Responding to Trust, Reclaiming the Sun (7600+ words)

The Magnetic God's gaze swept over the streams of information flowing through the Spirit Realm.

With a thought, the phantom of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower appeared in the Spirit Realm, suppressing the streams of information with a loud bang and blocking all kinds of rumors about the situation.

But the Magnetic God understood that this suppression was only temporary.

As time goes by, intelligence about the war situation will eventually circulate within the university town, and more and more teachers and students of Wanfa will understand the dire situation they are in now.

In the eyes of the Magnetic God, the scene of that time seemed to have already appeared: all kinds of stock prices, bonds, currencies... collapsed one by one with the defeat in the war.

More and more people will rush to leave in a stampede, panic will spread throughout the market and the university, causing the situation to worsen and worsen, eventually leading to more and more people fleeing the university town, or even joining the Righteous Alliance.

This is one of the reasons why Lord Aoki wanted to arrange for Zhang Yu's evacuation as soon as possible; the speed of the avalanche... might be faster than expected.

As he pondered, reports appeared before the Magnetic God's eyes.

She thought to herself, "Is this another test?"

Since the defeat in the lunar war, Magnetism has been receiving proposals from Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the school. These proposals, whether explicit or implicit, all aimed to weaken her and her subordinates' food supplies, as well as her power and wealth.

Magnetism God understood that behind these Nascent Soul True Lords were Anzhen God and Qiyun God, who were constantly probing them.

The Magnetic God also understood this.

In Kunxu, winning means being adored and praised by countless people, with a surge in fans, company investment, and even dogs wanting to rub against you.

If you lose, countless people will take the opportunity to trample on you, everyone will want to take a bite out of you, and even cats will hiss at you.

"Losing comes at a price." Magnet Lord thought to himself, "Anzhen, Qiyun... it's not that I'm unwilling to pay the price, but even if I give up my position... can you withstand it?"

"At this moment, are you capable of shouldering the responsibility of Wanfa University?"

In addition to internal discontent, the ten major universities, including Tianmo and Youming, also sent questions to Magnetic Pole.

Magneton thought with dissatisfaction, "How dare the Heavenly Demons ask me to compensate them for their losses in this battle?"

"Youming... at a time like this, he's still thinking about annexing the assets of all laws..."

Magnetism God sneered inwardly: "Damn it... When Lao Gao and I moved a little, you two were the first to escape."

With a formidable enemy at hand, and internal strife among schools intensifying due to resource scarcity, Magnetism God felt a headache coming on.

Then she looked at her offer, which had been rejected again.

In order to counter the rapid expansion of the Dark Spirit Realm and the Righteous Alliance, some insightful individuals among the ten universities, such as Magnetism God, proposed a joint training program for the ten universities, a multi-purpose certificate, and plans for the exchange of military-grade cultivation techniques, magical treasures, and magical remains among the universities.

In fact, similar rules existed among the top ten universities many years ago, but they were abandoned and suppressed by relevant interest groups for many years until now when they were brought back by the Magnetic God.

The Magnetic God thought to himself, "I had hoped to leverage the victory in the Moon War to smoothly advance this plan, but now it seems there's no chance..."

Meanwhile, looking at the sky, one can see that the rebels on the third floor are advancing triumphantly, and it will probably not be long before they completely occupy the entire third floor.

Magnet knew that the enemy would gather massive resources from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors to launch a full-scale attack on the 2nd floor.

Thinking about how the internal and external pressures would continue to increase, the Magnetic God sighed again.

"If we want to keep going, we can only consider using the entire second floor as a battlefield and launching a guerrilla war with no limits."

Upon considering this tactic, the Magnetic God's gaze narrowed slightly, as if he had already recalled certain historical events and envisioned the entire second floor being burned and reduced to ashes in the fierce flames of war.

Just then, the Magnetic God Lord sensed the projection of the Green Wood God Lord appearing beside him.

Magnet said calmly, "Old Gao, why aren't you taking care of your injuries? What are you doing out here again?"

She sighed and said, "You don't need to worry about the Moon War."

"It wouldn't matter who did it, besides, they don't have your familiarity with the Moon Immortal Array."

"Moreover, in a 1v2 situation, Chain Pivot will inevitably focus on one of them and relentlessly attack it."

"The others don't have the trust between us, and they won't last until the end. They'll probably be targeted by Chain Pivot... and if their injuries get a little more serious, they'll just run away, and then we'll only lose even more miserably."

"In the end..." Magnetism God said helplessly, "we're just too poor."

"Behind Chain Hub are the resources swept away by the financial system, as well as the resources plundered from the 5th and 4th layers to support his cultivation. He is also blessed by the fortune of countless people from the Dark Spirit Realm, and there are no restrictions or rules."

“He is richer than us, controls more resources, so his combat strength improves faster than ours, and he has more options…”

Just as Magnetism God was speaking, Aoki interrupted him, his tone seemingly filled with barely concealed excitement: "Magnetism, I have a way."

Magnet Lord looked at Aoki with a puzzled expression: "Is there a way?"

Qingmu Shenjun said, "Zhang Yu has spent the past eight months studying the Kunlun Palm and has found a way to break through the spatial blockade."

Magnetism Goddess's first reaction was instinctive disbelief, but she quickly seemed to realize something and nodded thoughtfully: "Let him come to my laboratory."

……

In the laboratory.

Zhang Yu clasped his hands together, and a visible ripple spread outwards from his palms in all directions.

The airflow within a radius of tens of meters surged violently, transforming into a violently rotating vortex that surged continuously toward Zhang Yu's palm.

At the same time, as the giant vortex was generated, a spatial entrance opened by the descendants of immortals slowly emerged within Zhang Yu's clasped palms.

Use the 'Kunlun in the palm' to shrink and encompass everything around it, and then use the space created by the 'descendant of the immortals' to contain it all.

As a result, the air currents, spiritual energy, magical power... and even light around Zhang Yu were continuously swallowed up.

His clasped hands had turned into darkness, like a black hole, frantically devouring everything around them with an incredibly strong attraction.

In the observation of the Magnetic Goddess, although she could not see the spatial entrance and exit opened by the 'descendant of immortals' in Zhang Yu's palm, the spatial coefficients kept changing in her eyes.

Even though Magnetism God's research on space technology is still superficial, he can still feel the intensity of this change and its impact on space structure.

"There's a good chance..."

"The spatial structure is as if it has been completely broken apart and then reconstructed."

"If this phenomenon applies to spatial containment in a chain-link arrangement..."

The Magnetic God seems to have already seen the process of spaces colliding and reconstructing each other.

Seeing this, her eyes lit up: "With this power, we have a chance to break through the spatial blockade of the Chain Hub."

"Stop, Zhang Yu." The Magnetic God Lord stared intently at his student and asked, "Tell me, how did you activate this power?"

Zhang Yu explained, "Ever since the battle with Dao Qiankun, I've repeatedly recalled the entire process and watched the battle footage..."

Just like when he told Qingmu Shenjun before, Zhang Yu did not directly mention the existence of the 'descendant of immortals'. Instead, he attributed everything to the Kunlun in his palm, the inspiration from Dao Qiankun, and his own enlightenment.

After all, he could hardly explain the origins of the immortals' descendants, which were related to the power of the Kunxu immortals. It could be said that the more people knew about this, the more dangerous it would be, and it was a danger to everyone who knew about it.

Fortunately, the 'Descendant of Immortals' has a built-in concealment attribute, and the activation of Kunlun in the Palm can better cover up its spatial effects, so Zhang Yu simply doesn't mention the Descendant of Immortals at all, and only uses 'Kunlun in the Palm' as a cover.

Zhang Yu continued, "I am driving this power originating from 'Kunlun in the Palm' with pure feeling and understanding, and I have not yet been able to summarize the spatial technology principles involved with rational, objective language and data..."

Aoki nods, not finding anything wrong with Zhang Yu's words.

After all, martial arts are something that can be performed through one's own understanding and skills, and can be driven by feeling; that's a different level.

But being able to summarize the principles behind martial arts phenomena... that's another level altogether.

The difference between the two can be described as heaven and earth.

Qingmu Shenjun has practiced too many martial arts in his life and seen too many martial arts practitioners. There are too many cultivators who can use martial arts, but there are far too few who can summarize the technical principles behind them.

Going even further, applying the summarized technical principles to other areas to create new techniques or even products is even more difficult.

In the eyes of the Azure Wood Divine Lord, Zhang Yu's ability to advance Kunlun in his palm to such a degree within eight months was truly a prodigy, and it also reminded him of the Dao Qiankun of that day.

Qingmu Shenjun thought to himself, "After Dao Qiankun obtained the immortal's memories, he could be considered one of the immortal's many reincarnations."

"And this Dao of Heaven and Earth, however, favored Zhang Yu greatly."

Looking at Zhang Yu's current performance, a guess couldn't help but arise in Qingmu Shenjun's mind: "Could Zhang Yu also be..."

At the same time, the Magnetic God also thought to himself, "Could he be a reincarnation of an immortal? It's quite possible."

"After all, Dao Qiankun values ​​Zhang Yu so much, it's very likely that they knew each other in their past lives."

Recalling Zhang Yu's personality, his sentimentality, and his rapid improvement in strength... Magnetism God's suspicions only deepened.

"But if he is a reincarnation of an immortal, why is Zhang Yu so poor? And some of his progress doesn't seem to be due to having the memories of an immortal."

Thinking of Zhang Yu's performance during the Yin Artifact experiment, the Magnetic Goddess thought to herself, "Perhaps it's because Zhang Yu's immortal memories haven't fully awakened? It's just that with each awakening, he makes rapid progress in certain aspects."

At this moment, the Magnetic Goddess felt an impulse to grab Zhang Yu and take him to the laboratory, to use the Yin Artifact she created to transfer Zhang Yu's memories and study the secrets within him.

However, after a moment's thought, the Magnetic God suppressed this tempting idea.

"Although I don't think I made the wrong choice in the lunar war, I did consider a lot of things in the process of making the choice... a lot of emotions that are abandoned and despised by the strong nowadays."

"If these ideas were made public, I'm afraid it would greatly damage my prestige, cause countless cultivators to be disappointed in me, and make them worry about the future of all laws."

"But perhaps... it was precisely because of my choice that Zhang Yu truly trusted me and Aoki, leading him to make today's choice and giving me the real opportunity to defeat Chain Shu."

Magnetism understands that the secret Zhang Yu has revealed contains enormous benefits, while Zhang Yu's own strength is only at the Golden Core stage.

"The decision Zhang Yu made today was not simply driven by rationality, interests, or gains and losses, but by an emotion and trust that transcended rationality."

"So how should I respond to Zhang Yu's trust?"

……

Magnet glanced at the Azure Wood God beside him, then looked at Zhang Yu in front of him and slowly said, "Good disciple, given the current situation... since you cannot summarize the technical principles for the time being, that means... if we want to break through the spatial blockade, we only have two choices."

"First, either you join the battle yourself."

"Second, we can either continue to wait for you to grow, wait for you to summarize the technical principles, and transform the technology into our combat power."

At this point, Magnet's gaze turned serious: "But... the current situation may not leave you with much time to grow."

"We must turn the tide now to reverse the situation, rebuild the confidence of all schools in the war, and thus buy you more time to grow."

"But the dangers of participating in the battle for the Nascent Soul stage are self-evident."

Whether or not you participate is your own choice.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, and a fighting spirit suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Master, I had already thought about this before I came. If I continue to hide in order to protect myself, I may be safe for a long time, but in the end it will just be a death struggle."

"Since I possess the immortal sect's techniques and am the strongest undergraduate student from one of the top ten universities, I naturally have to shoulder the responsibilities I should bear. I want to exert my influence on the changes in the world."

"I want to participate in this battle."

At the same time, Zhang Yu also understood that this battle was risky, but the rewards could also be extremely high.

He thought to himself, "Besides turning the tide and providing me with a better cultivation environment... if I can kill Lord Lian Shu, there might be a chance that the Taiqing Realm will drop the immortal cultivation techniques he possesses. And there's the evil god guarding Lord Lian Shu; if I can find an opportunity to devour him..."

Looking at Zhang Yu's determined gaze, the Magnetic God thought to himself, "My disciple has grown a lot without me even realizing it."

The next moment, the Magnetic God laughed: "Alright, since that's the case, then this time, the two of us, master and disciple, will go all out."

"However, during this battle... you should still stay well behind me."

Magnetism God patted Zhang Yu's head and said with a smile, "After all, the Golden Core stage is still too immature and can't hold the fort." "So the glory and prestige of this battle will all be taken by your master."

"You should stay hidden and secretly help me out, and give me all the credit."

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening and looked at the Magnetic God Lord, saying, "Teacher, you..."

"What? Not satisfied?" said the Magnetic God. "Anyway, I've already decided that I will take the lead in this battle."

"The world will never know any of your achievements, Zhang Yu. All the attention from both sides, including the glory of breaking through the spatial blockade, demonstrating spatial power, and defeating the Chain Pivot, will be focused on me."

"As for you, after this battle, take the reward I gave you and go into seclusion until you reach the Nascent Soul stage."

Hearing Magnet God's words, Zhang Yu had no dissatisfaction whatsoever, because he understood Magnet God's actions.

"Once I reveal my ability to break through spatial blockades, I will probably become the target of everyone's attacks and the focus of both sides."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "So Teacher Magnet... she decided to take my place, to bear all the pressure for me before I grow up, to shield me from the pressure of the top ten universities vying for space technology, and to protect me from all the harassment, assassination attempts, targeting, and tests from the Righteous Alliance..."

Worried that Zhang Yu might misunderstand, Lord Aoki explained from the side, "Zhang Yu, since you are our student, we will naturally protect you from the wind and rain."

"The technology to break through the space blockade... is too important, and too heavy. Let the magnetic poles take over for you for now."

"We will give all of this back to you when you grow up in the future."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I understand, teacher... I understand."

"I am too weak right now, so I hide behind you."

"But I will strive to grow and cultivate myself, and one day... I hope to be able to stand in front of you."

"I am a Nascent Soul God, why would I need you to stop me?" Magnetism God waved his sleeve and said, "Alright, the situation is critical, let's talk about the battle plan."

Zhang Yu said, "Should we go into battle as soon as possible?"

Magnetic God: "That's natural. Every second that passes means countless losses."

Zhang Yu asked, "How fast does it need to be?"

The Magnetic God said, "In half an hour."

"We, master and apprentice, will go and snatch the sun back."

Aoki said, "Then I'll prepare as well."

Magnetism God: "What are you preparing for? You've fully recovered from your serious injuries last time? Going there would only be a burden to me and Zhang Yu."

Aoki Shinjun seemed to be holding his breath: "I..."

"What do you mean 'what do you mean 'what do you mean 'what do you mean ''? Just stay home and wait for Zhang Yu and me to come back.' Magnet God Lord waved his long sleeves and said domineeringly, 'If we can break the spatial blockade in this battle, then the two of us will be enough.'"

After half an hour.

A long rainbow shot into the sky, and the Magnetic Extreme God had transformed into a streak of fire and flew out of the University City of Ten Thousand Laws. Under the observation of the Nascent Soul cultivators, he rushed straight towards the direction of the Sun-Patrolling Crow.

As the Magnetic Extreme God Lord advanced at supersonic speed, Zhang Yu hid within the Magnetic Extreme God Lord's Heavenly Sun Radiance God and activated the temporary upper limit of his 'Boundless Magic Power'.

Zhang Yu understood that although his 'Kunlun in the Palm' combined with 'Descendant of Immortals' was incredibly powerful, it was not without its flaws.

For example, the consumption of mana is a kind of constraint.

In particular, the larger the range maintained by the Kunlun Palm, the more things it can collect, and the more terrifying the consumption of magical power becomes.

If he were to fight a Nascent Soul cultivator alone, he would probably exhaust his magical power in just a few rounds.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone in this battle. Moreover, Zhang Yu's mana limit had increased dramatically in recent days. Now that he had activated his temporary mana limit, he felt a thirsty sensation coming from his meridians, dantian, and golden core. He began to frantically absorb spiritual energy and continuously absorb more mana.

At this moment, Zhang Yu's maximum mana capacity suddenly exceeded 16000 units.

At the same time, the second layer of the 'Boundless Mana' effect continued to take effect, frantically stirring up the spiritual energy as Zhang Yu moved at high speed, increasing Zhang Yu's mana recovery speed.

Sensing the 'movement' emanating from Zhang Yu, the Magnetic God Lord nodded inwardly: "Has another immortal's memory awakened?"

"Alright, let's have a big fuss today, master and disciple."

……

In the clouds.

The avatar of the Divine Lord Qiyun, observing this scene from afar, spoke up: "Has the magnetic poles truly made a breakthrough?"

An avatar of the Divine Lord Anzhen spoke up, "Can there really be a breakthrough in such a short time? I'm worried that the Magnetic Pole can't accept defeat, which is why it hastily launched the second battle."

At this moment, in the eyes of Anzhen God, Magnetism God was like a gambler who had lost everything and could not accept the loss of the previous defeat, so he launched the second battle.

Qiyun Divine Lord sighed, "If we lose this battle again..."

Lord Anzhen sighed and said no more.

At the same time, the other Divine Lords of various schools also received notifications from the Magnetic Pole Divine Lord, and then continuously sent messages to the Magnetic Pole.

The Nascent Soul God of the Heavenly Demon University: "Are you crazy? Magnetic poles, stop immediately."

The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Netherworld University said, "Magnetic Pole, do not start a war lightly. We cannot afford a second defeat."

Tianyao University: "Magnetic pole, if you want to die, go by yourself. We will not provide a single soldier in your stead!"

……

Above the sun-circling crow.

Since the victory in the lunar war and the fall of the moon, Lord Chain Pivot has seized the sun and has been stationed there ever since, monitoring the entire second-level land.

Just then, he slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and his consciousness withdrew from the Dark Spirit Realm.

"magnetic pole?"

He looked at the towering flames and said calmly, "You've come to die again?"

The auspicious god's laughter also came from the Dark Spirit Realm: "If we capture her, the second level will be secured, and we can smoothly carry out the subsequent plans."

Chain Pivot God slowly stood up, and the live broadcast of the Dark Spirit Realm was launched layer by layer. In an instant, countless people saw the great battle that was about to begin.

"They fought again?"

Who's on the other side?

"Only one person, Magnet? Has she gone mad?"

Faced with Chain Pivot God's provocation, Magnetism did not answer or pay attention this time, but simply charged towards the Sun-Patrolling Crow at top speed! Charge! Charge again!
The magnetic poles understood that this great battle was different from the last one.

Now that she has the opportunity to break the spatial blockade, she must fight as quickly as possible and try to secure victory before the opponent, a Nascent Soul cultivator, can react.

With a deafening roar, the Heavenly Sun God, wreaking havoc in flames, crashed into the outer edge of the Sun-Patrolling Crow, only to be blocked by layers of spatial barriers.

Seeing this, Lord Chain Pivot sneered, "Magnetic Pole, not only is your fighting spirit lacking, but now even your brain is failing you?"

At this moment, outside the Sun-Patrolling Crow, layers of spatial blockades were transferred from the fallen moon by the Chain Pivot God.

These spatial blockades act like layers of invisible barriers, isolating everything inside and outside.

There is only one small entrance and exit, which allows the Sun-Patrolling Crow to still release enough light and heat to cover the entire second floor, as well as communication with the spirit world, and it can only be done through the power of two Nascent Soul cultivators at most.

Watching the Heavenly Sun God repeatedly crash into the barrier formed by the spatial seal under the manipulation of the magnetic poles, as if he had gone mad, Lord Chain Pivot said leisurely, "Let's see what kind of madness you're going to pretend to have..."

boom!
With a violent impact, amidst the intense light and heat of the Heavenly Sun God, and under the dazzlingly bright rays, a flaming drill appeared in the palm of the Magnetic Extreme God.

This was a magical artifact that Magnetic Pole specifically acquired to conceal Zhang Yu's existence. At this moment, Zhang Yu was hiding inside this drill under the protection of Magnetic Pole God.

“Chain Pivot…” Magnetic Pole said indifferently, “I did lose the last battle, but I also comprehended more of the mysteries of space, which finally allowed me to further improve my strength and refine this Boundary-Breaking Cone.”

"Today I'll show you how to break through your turtle shell."

Seeing this, Lord Chain Pivot sneered inwardly: "The immortal's transmission of the Dharma, how could you so easily break it? Magnetic Pole, I think you've lost your mind..."

However, the next moment, as the fiery drill and the spatial barrier collided violently, Lord Chain Pivot couldn't help but feel a sudden jolt of worry.

But looking at the intact spatial barrier, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I was really overthinking it. How could magnetic poles possibly break through the immortals' technology?"

Chain Pivot God-King revealed a smile, deciding to livestream the scene of Magnetism God-King going crazy, failing time and time again, and being completely blocked by spatial sealing.

He thought to himself, "No real battle is needed; just showing this scene will reassure people's hearts."

At the same time, the Magnetic God was also staring intently at the point where the drill collided with the spatial barrier, wondering to himself, "Will it work?"

She knew that at this moment, she had staked everything.

If this battle is lost, not only will her personal prestige, reputation, and assets plummet, but the entire war situation will also take a sharp turn for the worse...

Meanwhile, surrounded by extreme heat and light, and under the layers of shroud and concealment of the Magnetic God, Zhang Yu, hiding in the drill, clasped his hands together and activated the Kunlun in His Palm and the Descendant of the Immortal.

This time, his activation range was also very small, only a small point at the tip of the drill bit.

As light and heat were continuously devoured by the 'Kunlun in the Palm' into the space opened up by the 'Descendant of the Immortal', a layer of darkness gradually emerged at the tip of the flame drill.

This darkness pierced the spatial barrier, causing it to be constantly shaken by the Kunlun in the palm of the hand.

Zhang Yu wanted to use the Kunlun in his palm to pull the spatial barrier over, and then use the descendants of immortals to dismantle it.

But he soon realized that it would be difficult to succeed if he continued like this.

"No... A level 30 Kunlun Palm cannot shake the spatial barrier set up by Lord Chain Pivot."

"I have to take the initiative to approach them..."

So Zhang Yu stretched his palms forward with all his might, and fiercely thrust his pitch-black palms toward the spatial barrier.

At that moment, he felt as if he were forcibly inserting his hands into an incredibly solid substance, with each inch of insertion bringing a violent backlash.

Even with Zhang Yu's physical strength, he was still shaken so badly that he bled from all seven orifices, and blood mist kept spurting from his body.

The effect was astonishing. Zhang Yu felt that after the spatial entrance opened by the 'Descendant of the Immortal' collided with the spatial barrier in front of him, the Descendant of the Immortal's side was unharmed, but the other side began to collapse.

The expression on the face of the Chain Pivot God, who had been as steady as a mountain, suddenly changed. His expression first showed doubt, then surprise, then disbelief, and finally a mixture of shock and anger.

"How can it be!"

Boom! As if in response to the roar of the Chain Pivot God, a huge hole was suddenly torn open in the spatial barrier as the flaming drill advanced. The spatial blockade that had been so stable around the sun collapsed into pieces in the blink of an eye, just like a block had been removed from a well-built structure.

The next moment, all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the top ten universities who had been watching the battle made their move, transforming into beams of divine light that completely surrounded the Sun-Patrolling Crow.

As he soared into the sky, the Chain Pivot God-King, who was about to retreat, felt one hand after another pressing down on him, forcibly pushing him back onto the sun.

At the same time, loud shouts came from all around.

"Well done, Magnetic Pole! I knew you could do it!"

"Haha, all our long preparations for this battle have paid off, and from now on, the offensive and defensive positions have been reversed."

"Magnetic poles, quickly take the sun back..."

Under the watchful gaze of the Chain Pivot God, Magnet held the Boundary-Breaking Cone in one hand and grasped the sun in the other, surrounded by numerous Gods from the Ten Great Universities, all coldly looking at him.
