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

Chapter 687 Zhang Yu's Nascent Soul! (Together)

Since breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm not long ago, the first thing Zhang Yu did was naturally to start cultivating the immortal technique "Kunlun in the Palm".

He continued to cultivate, relentlessly pushing this technique to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage at level 40.

As the skill level increases, its power becomes more and more vast. Not only can the range of its application continuously expand, but the control over the target it captures also becomes more and more precise.

Especially during his cultivation, when he uses the power of the "descendant of immortals" to complement the Kunlun in his palm, he can better demonstrate its subtleties.

Gradually, Zhang Yu discovered that in addition to ordinary objects, he could also capture airflow and sound and draw them into the space created by the descendants of immortals, creating a silent space.

Then he absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, heat, and earthly gravity from the space, creating a cold and desolate world.

Later, he discovered that he could capture light, dragging all kinds of light—light from lamps, electricity, fire—into the space created by the descendants of the immortals, thus creating an absolutely dark realm.

These are merely the results of the Kunlun in the palm of the hand being collected by the descendants of the immortals.

Besides capturing, Zhang Yu is also able to unleash his full potential.

At this moment, as absolute darkness and silence descended upon Feng Yuhan, Fu Xinyao, and Ping Han, the two individuals and one soul, tension and panic inevitably arose in their hearts.

Faced with this situation, they each made different choices due to their different levels of cultivation, experience, and abilities.

A vast expanse of lightning erupted from Feng Yuhan's body, as if he were trying to forcefully break through the darkness before him with the power accumulated within his body.

But as soon as the lightning burst forth, it was endlessly swallowed up by the darkness before them, just like a match, lit again and again, only to be extinguished once more.

Under the flashing light, Fu Xinyao retreated with all her might, wanting only to escape the darkness before her and this strange environment.

Ping Han was shaken to his core.

But in the next moment, Feng Yuhan, Fu Xinyao, and Ping Han all saw a faint light emerge from the center of that bottomless darkness.

As the light grew brighter, Zhang Yu's figure gradually emerged behind him. Only then did Feng Yuhan realize that the increasingly surging light was flowing from Zhang Yu's clasped hands.

The next moment, Zhang Yu's hands seemed to transform into a dazzling sun, rising slowly from the endless darkness.

A surge of power erupted from Zhang Yu's palm, tearing through the darkness in the blink of an eye and engulfing everything in front of him.

It was as if a massive explosion suddenly swept through the deep, dark universe.

boom!
The violent shock and explosion engulfed Feng Yuhan's body. Feeling the familiar lightning and fire within the explosion, he was horrified: "Was this the Dao technique I just used?"

"After he absorbed my Taoist techniques, he fought back?"

On the other side, Fu Xinyao, who was hiding behind Feng Yuhan, had already lost most of her body in the explosion and completely lost consciousness, falling into a coma.

As if he had just been attacked with all his might, Feng Yuhan struggled to his feet and saw Zhang Yu slowly floating over from mid-air.

Looking at Feng Yuhan, whose true form had been revealed by the explosion, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "As expected, he has the data level of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator..."

Zhang Yu understood very well that although he had made a quick breakthrough by focusing all his efforts on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage at the Golden Core stage, he lacked far too much accumulation. The military-grade powers that he had once used to sweep away his enemies were now only at the Foundation Establishment level 20.

So even though he is now at the Nascent Soul stage, his raw strength is still extremely weak among Nascent Soul cultivators. He probably can't beat most of them.

Of course, this is excluding the cultivation techniques of immortal sects.

If he were to unleash the Kunlun Palm Technique and the Immortal Descendant Technique, Zhang Yu was confident that most Nascent Soul cultivators would be unable to harm him before his mana was exhausted.

"Even when I go all out, no one except the Nascent Soul stage cultivator can stop me!"

And at this moment, it was time for Zhang Yu to unleash his full power.

As he blocked his opponent's killing move with his immortal techniques, he also used the intense explosion and shock to send out his distress signal.

All-out defense + all-out call for reinforcements!

In an instant, the spiritual network inside and outside the laboratory was activated, and the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower descended with a roar, sweeping across all directions.

The next moment, as the Magnetic God's will entered the battlefield, Feng Yuhan felt that his entire physical body had been severed from his mind.

"Damn it..." Feng Yuhan slowly knelt down, looking at Zhang Yu in front of him, thinking to himself, "Is this the power of the Kunlun Palm?"

"She's only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, yet she's already possessed such power... No, such spatial power... Could it be that the magnetic pole was able to break through the spatial barrier not on her own... but thanks to Zhang Yu?"

"That's right, so she's been stalling for time, giving Zhang Yu an opportunity, and waiting for him to break through."

"Zhang Yu is the key to this war..."

Upon realizing this, Feng Yuhan was both excited and thrilled, feeling that he had grasped a crucial piece of information.

"suicide!"

"As long as this information is taken to the Righteous Alliance, its value will be enough for me..."

But just as lightning-fast thoughts flashed through Feng Yuhan's mind, and he was contemplating suicide and delivering the information to the evil god, the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Tower trembled once more. A force had already invaded his physical body through his physical form, directly severing the connection between his body and mind.

As his mind gradually lost all control over his physical body and physical form, Feng Yuhan also lost all perception of the outside world.

Darkness enveloped his vision once more, and his thoughts seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss.

At this moment, Feng Yuhan could no longer even dream of committing suicide, let alone hearing or seeing anything.

"hateful……"

Feng Yuhan was both shocked and furious: "If I hadn't been blown up and severely injured, I wouldn't have been unable to withstand even a single blow from the Magnetic Avatar, and I wouldn't have been without a chance to commit suicide... Zhang Yu!"

"Zhang Yu!"

Looking at Feng Yuhan, who twitched a few times like a dead fish, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "With my all-out defense and desperate calls for help, how many people below the Nascent Soul stage can withstand me?"

Then he looked in the direction of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Pagoda and asked, "Master, has he lost consciousness?"

After a moment of silence, the voice of the Magnetic God came from the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower: "Hmm, I have temporarily sealed his thoughts. Someone will come to deal with them in a while, so you don't need to worry about it."

As the war progressed, various immortal techniques were constantly being innovated and updated.

In order to counter the resurrection function of the Dark Spirit Realm, the Nascent Soul cultivators developed various techniques to seal consciousness and prevent suicide.

Magnetism God continued, "Your friend seems to be in trouble. Now that you have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, you should resolve it yourself."

"I still have some things to attend to. We can discuss your plans after your breakthrough later..."

Watching the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Pagoda disappear as soon as it finished speaking, Zhang Yu could sense the haste in the other party's words and actions.

"It seems the pressure at the front lines is immense," Zhang Yu thought to himself. "Even with Master's Nascent Soul stage strength, he can't spare the time or energy to say more than a few words?"

At the same time, Zhang Yu had already received the information left to him by the Magnetic God.

"My friend is in trouble?"

……

Just as Feng Yuhan was being sent to capture Zhang Yu.

Another group was sent by the auspicious god to capture another target.

“Le Mulan.” Xiang Shen thought to himself as he looked at the data: “She has known Zhang Yu for eight years, lived with him for five years, and is said to have been in contact with and preserved Zhang Yu’s biological materials for many years.”

"We might be able to learn a lot of Zhang Yu's secrets from this woman."

Ever since Feng Yuhan, Fu Xinyao, and Ping Han entered the laboratory and lost contact, Xiang Shen had a feeling: "This capture may fail again."

Thinking of this, he began urging the other side: "Hurry up and get out of here as soon as you catch Le Mulan. You may be targeted at any time."

……

Meanwhile, outside the underground factory.

Le Mulan's body shone with a chilling aura as she fought her way back, but the four Golden Core cultivators behind her were hot on her heels and were about to surround her in the blink of an eye.

"These four Golden Core cultivators are incredibly powerful."

Looking at the four Golden Core cultivators who were disguised, Le Mulan thought to herself, "They are definitely not ordinary colonels or junior colonels who broke through without a certificate."

"These four guys should be graduates of the Ten Schools... but how did they infiltrate the University City? Or were they originally cultivators from the University of Ten Thousand Laws, and just joined the sect of the Evil God?"

"We've been exchanging blows for over ten seconds now. If we can hold on a little longer, reinforcements should be arriving soon."

As Le Mulan pondered, she saw an invisible hand envelop her and send her flying with a bang.

The moment Le Mulan landed, four Golden Core cultivators surrounded her from all sides.

Looking at the Golden Core cultivator who unleashed the invisible hand, Le Mulan thought to herself, "The Invisible Handprint of Yuan Qi? Someone from the Finance Department?"

The Golden Core cultivator who released an invisible handprint of primordial energy to intercept Le Mulan was none other than Jiu Tianliu, the strongest academic genius in the Finance Department.

However, at this moment he was disguised as a woman, and there was no trace of the original Jiutianliu's image or temperament.

"I can't believe I'm back so soon."

Jiutianliu was also somewhat emotional upon returning to the university town. In just over a year, the once familiar city had transformed into an incredibly dangerous and hostile environment.

If it weren't for the evil god's mission to capture Le Mulan, he probably wouldn't have used the secret path left behind by the Finance Department, combined with the power of the evil god's ritual, to infiltrate the old territory.

"Unfortunately, now is not the time for nostalgia."

Jiutian Liu knew that although the main experts of Wanfa University had gone to deal with the war, and the city was now vulnerable, the danger would increase every moment he stayed here.

"Next time, I will return here openly and honestly, and have everything back."

The next instant, Jiutianliu coldly snorted: "Make your move."

Just as the four Golden Core cultivators were about to make their move, a strong shockwave came from them.

Immediately afterward, a figure flew towards the four of them. Seeing Zhang Yu approaching, Jiu Tianliu was startled, but then his gaze sharpened: "Grab him!"

As the one tasked with capturing Le Mulan, Jiu Tianliu was naturally unaware of Feng Yuhan's capture of Zhang Yu on the other side.

Upon seeing Zhang Yu appear, Jiu Tianliu instinctively made his own judgment based on the information he currently possessed.

Jiutianliu thought to himself, "Zhang Yu broke through to the Golden Core stage in the same amount of time as us, which was just over a year."

"Even if he was once the strongest undergraduate, he hasn't had enough time to accumulate experience, and with four of us teaming up against one, the chances of defeating him are not small."

Just as Jiutianliu and his group made their move, Le Mulan sent a message to Zhang Yu: Zhang Yu! These four are Golden Core cultivators from the Ten Schools. Don't get entangled with them. Wait for reinforcements!
Seeing the four approaching, Zhang Yu strolled towards Jiu Tianliu and his companions, saying calmly, "I hate fighting with fewer troops, and I dislike fighting with the weak against the strong even more."

"But I don't dislike it when these two things conflict."

"Just like right now, I will use my 'strength' to crush the 'weakness' of the four of you."

Feeling the four people's attacks coming so close to him, Zhang Yu smiled faintly and said, "Four Golden Core cultivators... then I'll just become a Nascent Soul cultivator, won't I?"

The next moment, Zhang Yu's aura surged, unleashing the pressure of a Nascent Soul realm cultivator under everyone's watchful eyes.

At the same time, a Golden Core expert at the forefront screamed as if he had crashed into some invisible wall. His bones were broken, he was covered in blood, and he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Jiutianliu's gaze sharpened: "Nascent Soul?"

He looked at Zhang Yu and exclaimed in disbelief, "Zhang Yu! You've broken through to the Nascent Soul realm?!"

Zhang Yu looked at Jiutian Liu and said calmly, "You should call me True Lord."

The next moment, another Golden Core cultivator seemed to be grabbed and squeezed by an invisible force, and was twisted into a pretzel in the blink of an eye, and fainted.

Seeing this scene, Jiutianliu was shocked and remembered the information about Nascent Soul cultivators.

"It's a Nascent Soul!"

He knew that what was attacking them at that moment was Zhang Yu's nascent soul.

The reason they cannot be seen is that only Nascent Soul cultivators can see Nascent Souls.

Jiutian Liu knew that once a cultivator's nascent soul, formed from the essence of their power and infused with their will, was fully formed, it could not be observed using conventional methods, nor could it be seen with the naked eye or eye sockets.

Only cultivators who have also mastered the Nascent Soul and entered the Nascent Soul realm can see the existence of the Nascent Soul.

"The nascent soul itself is a collection of highly concentrated power. If it is not controlled properly, even a slight collision can cause damage."

"Once one fully enters the Nascent Soul realm and achieves complete control over the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul will not only cease to cause destruction at will, but it will also inherit the cultivator's physical data, unleashing the same power as the cultivator. Furthermore, due to its special form, it possesses a movement speed far exceeding that of the physical body and can penetrate most substances..."

"Those two..." Jiutianliu's gaze swept over the two Golden Core cultivators lying on the ground, and he thought to himself, "They must have been attacked by the unseen Nascent Soul cultivators."

"We were powerless to fight back simply because Zhang Yu, who had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, had a physical strength that completely surpassed ours."

"Therefore, a Nascent Soul cultivator who inherits this power can easily slaughter us."

At this moment, Jiutian Liu felt as if the hairs on his body stood on end, and that a terrifying, invisible entity was staring at him from the surrounding air.

"run!"

The next moment, Jiutian Liu and another Golden Core cultivator shot out in two different directions.

Jiutian Liu directly unleashed his Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Avoidance Divine Shuttle, which retreated swiftly like a streak of light.

As he fled, more information about the Nascent Soul stage kept popping into Jiutianliu's mind.

“Basic strength and speed are not the most terrifying aspects of a Nascent Soul.”

"After achieving the Nascent Soul stage, one can transfer the extraordinary meridians opened up in the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul. From then on, the Nascent Soul can automatically use the techniques matched by the extraordinary meridians without the cultivator's physical body needing to exert its power."

Jiutian Liu knew that this meant that every Nascent Soul cultivator had a matching cultivation technique. This technique was something that cultivators began to strengthen from the Golden Core stage onwards, and it could be said to be a cultivator's signature skill.

"This technique, after being strengthened by the Nascent Soul and Extraordinary Meridians, can unleash power several times greater than before."

"Even as the Nascent Soul continues to grow, this power can increase by dozens of times..."

The next moment, another scream rang out. Without turning around, Jiutianliu knew that another companion had been suppressed.

In Le Mulan's eyes, the Golden Core cultivator was floating in mid-air, as if his feet had been grabbed by something invisible and intangible, and he was being lifted upside down.

Immediately afterwards, his entire body was violently dismantled piece by piece, falling to the ground.

A moment later, Jiutian Liu, who had already retreated several kilometers away, also felt that his Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Escape Shuttle was stuck in a clump of mud, becoming slower and slower under the resistance of immense forces...

Finally, amidst intense tremors, the Divine Shuttle slowly came to a stop in mid-air.

"The Nascent Soul cultivator has caught up."

Seeing his Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Escape Shuttle seemingly being gripped by an invisible hand and held tightly in mid-air, Jiu Tianliu sighed inwardly: "My Nine Heavens Shuttle is only at the Golden Core level after all, and it can't shake off Zhang Yu's Nascent Soul at all."

At the same time, Jiutianliu could feel a hurricane approaching him; it was Zhang Yu's true form getting closer and closer.

"I'm quite curious..." Zhang Yu looked at the unique safety shuttle of the Finance Department and said calmly, "How did you guys from the Finance Department manage to sneak in? Could you please tell me?"

Jiutian Liu gritted his teeth, his heart filled with bitterness: "The gap is too big. Golden Core cultivators are completely powerless against Nascent Soul cultivators."

Having thought this through, he made up his mind: "The only option is suicide."

He knew that as a traitor to the finance department, staying in the hands of Wanfa University would mean certain death, and his life would be over.

On the contrary, if one commits suicide and is resurrected through the Dark Realm, although one will also suffer a great loss of vitality, there is still a chance to rise again.

With a furious roar, Jiutian Liu unleashed his inner power, causing the poison sacs buried within his body to burst open, and the potent toxins surged towards every part of his body.

This is the method used by the Righteous Alliance to counter the Ten Schools' obstruction of resurrection, allowing its subordinates to commit suicide faster, more quickly, and more freely.

But the next moment, Jiutianliu felt as if the violently bursting poison sac was being choked by something, and the spread of the toxin was being blocked.

Jiutian Liu suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, feeling the power drilling into his body, and exclaimed in surprise, "Your Nascent Soul?"

He felt that not only were the poison sacs being squeezed, but every part of his body seemed to be gripped by large hands, making it impossible for him to move even an inch.

Zhang Yu looked at Jiutian Liu, who had been pulled out by the Nascent Soul cultivator, and said calmly, "In front of the Nascent Soul cultivator, the Golden Core cultivator has no freedom to choose between life and death."

But the next moment, a strange flame burst forth from Jiutianliu's body.

Jiutianliu cried out in alarm, letting out a shrill scream in Zhang Yu's astonished gaze.

However, in the blink of an eye, he stopped screaming and looked at Zhang Yu with a calm yet eerie gaze.

Sensing the change in the other person's expression, Zhang Yu suddenly had a thought: "Who are you?"

“You can call me the God of Reporting,” Jiutian Liu said as he was gradually consumed by flames. “Thank you for taking care of my believers today.”

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened, and he thought to himself, "Can an evil god really control the bodies of his followers? Does Fu Ji have such abilities? Or... is this a new power or technology that the evil god is developing to cope with war?"

The messenger said calmly, "Zhang Yu, someone asked me to ask you some questions."

"Are you... sure you want to be our enemy?"

Zhang Yu stared into Jiu Tianliu's eyes and said coldly, "What do you want to say?"

The God of Reporting continued, "Dao Qiankun values ​​you highly, believing that you can create a new world with us, so we have been giving you opportunities."

"But judging from your current behavior, many people think that you are nothing more than a pathetic soul who is addicted to the existing system of Kunxu and corrupted by wealth, cultivation, status and reputation."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Is that so? Your Righteous Alliance...aren't you using these things to manipulate believers and control the common people?"

The God of Report said calmly, "The common people... are destined to be manipulated, but we can manipulate them to go in different directions, in a direction that is more in line with the Dao and the universe, in line with me, and in line with the direction that many of our companions want to go."

"Zhang Yu, do you really like this world, like Kunxu, and like your life?"

"I believe in Dao Qiankun's vision, and I also believe that there is still a flame in your heart that has not been completely extinguished."

"As long as you are willing to join the Righteous Alliance, I am willing to recommend you to achieve a position second only to the leader within the Righteous Alliance, to preside over the creation of a new world with us, to guide the world toward the way you truly desire, and to use your will to choose the future direction of the world."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Sure, could you please give me the list of your evil god followers and the positions of the evil gods in the Righteous Alliance right now? It will make it easier for me to manage them."

The God of Report sighed, "Zhang Yu, I can sense... your prejudice against evil gods is too deep. You always think I'm deceiving you, always think I haven't told you any truths."

"Sigh, don't you feel it? This is the tragedy of Kunxu. Growing up in this environment, you can't even trust others."

"Such a Kunxu is destined to fail. Whether it's the top ten universities, the magnetic pole, or if you continue down this wrong path... the result will be the same: failure."

As the flames surged violently, Jiutianliu's body was gradually engulfed, and his flesh and blood turned to ashes.

As the ashes drifted away, only the voice of the god remained, lingering in the air.

“Zhang Yu, no matter what, I believe in Dao Qiankun’s vision and his choice. You are definitely not an ordinary person who has been completely corrupted by Kunxu.”

"I hope you can recognize your mistakes, jump off the evil path of Kunxu, and not walk towards death with this sunken ship, and not head towards inevitable defeat."

"I am waiting for you to join the Righteous Alliance."

Looking at the completely dissipated Nine Heavens Flowing and the God of Reporting, Zhang Yu seemed to fall into deep thought.

Fuki said, "You don't really believe it, do you? Evil gods would even sell themselves to deceive people. You can't believe a single word they say."

Zhang Yu said, "Of course I don't believe a group of guys who just tried to attack me and capture my companions."

"I was just watching the news."

The appearance of the evil god, the infiltration of the financial traitor, the hasty actions of the Magnetic God... all of this made Zhang Yu feel the tension of the situation, making him eager to find out what had happened during his five months of seclusion.
