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

Chapter 689 The True Lord Arrives (Thanks to reader 20220510150647963)

The Evil Lotus God said coldly, "Magnetic pole! For the sake of all living beings, we can no longer tolerate your nonsense today."

Magnet's gaze was cold as he looked at this man from Heavenly Demon University, a man of great prestige in the weapon-refining world, a former veteran Nascent Soul disciple, a judge for multiple weapon-refining competitions, the former vice-principal of Heavenly Demon University, and now the president of Heavenly Demon University...

With a low shout, the Magnetic Pole revealed the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower behind it, suppressing the surrounding spirit realm and blocking the outflow of information.

"You wicked lotus! You dare to talk to me about the fate of the world?"

"The demonic sect and evil gods launched a fierce attack, and it was I who devised defensive lines, placing Lord Qingmu at the forefront and building fortifications to hold them back. Yet you are only thinking about seizing profits and plundering spoils. When have you ever thought about Kunxu? When have you ever thought about the common people?"

"I exhausted all my assets to repair the Boundary-Breaking Cone and break through the spatial blockade, yet you all stir up trouble right under my nose every day. You either have people investigate me, publish news to scold me, or send people to fight against my subordinates. In the end... it's all about stealing my Boundary-Breaking Cone."

As they spoke, the Heavenly Sun God appeared behind the Magnetic Extreme God, radiating intense light, his eyes sweeping over the assembled Nascent Soul cultivators with the aura of the Immortal Sect's technique, the Glazed Pure Fire.

"But now we face a formidable enemy!"

"What are you still stirring up?" Magnetism God Lord cursed, "Are you only satisfied when you've destroyed all five levels of Kunxu, bankrupted all ten universities, and left me with an enormous debt after the Heavenly Court returns, and I'm dismissed from my post, my property confiscated, and left with a staggering debt?"

The Evil Lotus God looked at her without flinching. Behind him, the Heavenly Demon Banner suddenly expanded and fluttered, with countless Yin spirits roaring fiercely within it. The power it unleashed rivaled that of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower, each occupying half of the spirit world present.

"Magnetic pole! Stop making excuses!" Lord Nielian shouted, "It's been five months! Our top ten universities have been stuck here for five months, burning through five months' worth of money... This time you must hand over the item and give us an explanation."

"Otherwise, we could just convene a Nascent Soul Conference and vote on a new plan, whether it's our cold storage plan or the fortress plan for the immortal soldiers. Both would be better than you just letting things drag on like this."

As Lord Nielian spoke, the Nascent Soul cultivators from the three universities of Youming, Baigu, and Hehuan all expressed their agreement.

“Magnetic pole, it’s not that we don’t want to support you, but so much time has passed and we haven’t seen any results. It’s hard not to raise suspicions, and we don’t know how to explain it to the school.”

“Magnetic Pole, if you encounter any problems in your research, just bring it up and let's work on it together. Nie Lian is also a master of weapon crafting; it's better to have him help you than to work alone in isolation.”

"I think the Lord of Evil Lotus should be put in charge of the Boundary-Breaking Cone. His weapon-refining ability is even better than that of the Magnetic Pole. He also said that all his research on space technology will be open source."

Cangshi Shenjun of Tianyao University chuckled and said, "Magnetic Pole, if you're worried about them, you can send the Boundary-Breaking Cone to me. I'll test it for everyone, and I guarantee it will be fair and objective, with Tianyao University's reputation as my guarantee."

At the same time, the Nascent Souls of Vajra, Immortal Soldiers, and Heavenly Sword also sent messages to the Magnetic Extreme God.

“Magnetic Pole, it’s not that we don’t support you, but you have to show some results.”

"Magnetic Pole, just publish the design blueprints of the Boundary-Breaking Cone and shut them up. I guarantee that even if our Immortal Soldier University gets the blueprints, we will never copy your magic weapon."

Just then, the Nascent Soul cultivator from Dan Ding University coughed and said, "Everyone, with a formidable enemy at hand, let's not spoil the harmony..."

The Demon Lotus God coldly stared at the Magnetic Pole and said, "Magnetic Pole, speak, what are your plans?"

As the gazes of the Nascent Soul cultivators turned towards him, each gaze seemed to carry immense weight, like towering mountains pressing down on the Magnetic Extreme God.

……

Located within the university town of Wanfa University.

Le Mulan ran forward quickly, carrying a bag of medicine in her hand, chasing after the flying boat where Zhang Yu was.

She didn't know what Zhang Yu was going to do on the front lines, nor how she could help him. All she wanted was to give him the potions she had saved before he left.

Looking at the potions that Le Mulan brought, Zhang Yu knew that most of them were of little use to him, who had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Fu Ji said impatiently, "Too weak. What's the difference between this and a kitten or puppy bringing you its favorite food? Humph, this Le Mulan is no longer of any use. Why bother with her? Zhang Yu, on the path of immortality, you must learn to socialize upwards. Friends who can't keep up are not our friends."

Zhang Yu ignored Fu Ji, smiled slightly at Le Mulan, accepted the potion, and then placed a palm on Le Mulan's body, transferring a stream of magical power to her.

"Mu Lan, wait for me to come back and help you improve your cultivation."

Zhang Yu knew that Le Mulan's Dao Seed 'Deep Frost Vein' required 5000 mana and 250% more mana quality to upgrade.

With the opponent's current Golden Core cultivation level, they are not far from reaching that level.

"A level 3 Deep Frost Vein... I should be able to protect it now."

Zhang Yu boarded the flying boat, and the next moment, accompanied by a series of booming sounds, the flying boat soared into the sky, shooting towards the large void between the second and third floors.

Zhang Yu on the flying boat naturally didn't waste any time. For him, who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, there were still many areas where he needed to work hard, improve, and make up for his shortcomings.

After reaching level 40 in the Palm of Kunlun, Zhang Yu then chose to improve his inner cultivation technique.

He sat cross-legged in the quiet room of the flying boat, his mind already having entered the spirit world and arrived in the Taiqing Realm.

Zhang Yu planned to use the time acceleration of the Taiqing Realm to cultivate his second mental technique, 'Boundless Inner Dharma Body'.

This dark technique enhances the speed of thought processes, allowing for multitasking and multiple ways of thinking.

At level 10, one can multitask; at level 20, one has four levels of thinking; and when Zhang Yu, in his Golden Core stage, raises his cultivation technique to level 30, he already possesses eight levels of thinking.

Unlike the Body-Body-Slaying Technique of the Crippled Ox, which involves physical strength, the Boundless Inner Body Technique, as a purely spiritual cultivation method, allows for faster cultivation through the time acceleration of the Taiqing Realm. Zhang Yu had already proven this during his cultivation at both the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.

At this moment, with each repetition of the mental cultivation technique, Zhang Yu's mental cultivation level began to increase rapidly, advancing from level 30 all the way to level 31 and then level 32.

As they approached the Great Void, he had already raised the level of this technique to level 35 in one go.

The eight white bulls in his mind roared incessantly, seemingly anticipating splitting again and transforming into a sixteen-headed white bull.

Zhang Yu still remembered that when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage, he could control dozens of Qi clones by himself.

Now, with the increased computing power in his mind, coupled with the 16 layers of thinking from the future level 40 mental cultivation technique, he can manipulate a large number of magical treasures by himself, making him like an army.

If a large number of soul cultivators can be matched to operate, the resulting destructive power and creativity will increase dramatically.

Zhang Yu opened his eyes after exiting the Taiqing Realm, looked at the reminder that appeared in his eye sockets, and thought to himself, "Are we almost there?"

At the same time, his gaze shifted, and he saw a figure appear in front of him.

It was a humanoid figure that resembled Zhang Yu, but whose entire body seemed to be made of clouds and mist, with layers of air waves constantly surging around it.

As Zhang Yu thought for a moment, the clouds behind the figure surged and hundreds of arms made of clouds appeared.

But the next moment, as Zhang Yu's thoughts changed, these arms disappeared into the clouds.

This figure is Zhang Yu's nascent soul. In addition to perfectly inheriting Zhang Yu's physical strength, it can also transform into hundreds of hands and feet at any time to release its power and perform various martial arts that Zhang Yu has mastered.

In particular, the martial art "Kunlun in the Palm" from the Immortal Sect can further enhance its power by being strengthened by the 10 extraordinary meridians within the Nascent Soul's body, and by the Nascent Soul's ability to mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

More importantly, Zhang Yu felt that his nascent soul, as part of his body, could also exercise the authority of a descendant of immortals, opening spatial entrances and exits within the nascent soul.

"In this way, my Nascent Soul can also perform the combined attack of Kunlun in the Palm and the Immortal Descendant."

At the same time, Zhang Yu's physical body is now completely different from the past. Every bit of flesh and blood has been completely integrated with magic power, and the 13 Dao foundations have formed a series of special physical expression factors, which have finally transformed into a rare physical supernatural power.

According to data retrieval after Zhang Yu's breakthrough, this physical supernatural ability is not only extremely rare, but it is also often manifested in demon descendants.

The physical supernatural power is called the Formless Free Body, which grants extremely strong resistance to similar attacks within a short period. It is said that a cultivator possessing this physical supernatural power will at most be severely injured by the same move only once in a battle.

Just then, as Zhang Yu was adapting to the power after his Nascent Soul breakthrough, another message appeared before him: a notice about a comprehensive upgrade of Zhang Yu's treatment, including improvements to his laboratory and dormitory, as well as funding, internet access, and supplies.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It must be that Teacher Magnet urged me to improve my treatment, right?"

In addition, according to the new wartime policy, all the expert-level cultivation techniques in the entire school are open to him for free. All military-grade cultivation techniques in the weapon-refining department, as well as the design blueprints for magic bodies and magic treasures, can all be purchased for only 10 spirit coins.

Looking at these, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think of the effort and time he had put in to acquire a military-grade martial arts technique.

"As expected... chaos is a ladder."

"In peacetime, acquiring all the military-grade knowledge of weapon crafting wouldn't be so easy."

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering this, his student loan was issued.

……

Although Zhang Yu did not take the final exams for graduate school, he still achieved excellent grades and received a scholarship and loan.

Although all the resources for cultivation were taken care of by Magnet and Green Wood during his seclusion, Zhang Yu's bank account still received transfers from time to time.

Looking at the cold 2000-plus spirit coins in his account, Zhang Yu felt that it still wouldn't be enough.

"After all, all my magical artifacts are only level 20 now, and they're all waiting to be upgraded to level 40."

Zhang Yu knew that this alone would cost more than two thousand spirit coins, which made him sigh, "Sure enough, the higher one's cultivation level, the more one earns, but the more one spends."

"You can never earn enough money." "That's why we need to take advantage of the current situation and leverage more resources."

At the very bottom of the notice is information about applying for a Taoist name.

Lord Qingmu: You've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, hurry up and apply for a Daoist title!
Lord Qingmu: What kind of Nascent Soul cultivator doesn't even have a Daoist title? That's outrageous!
Zhang Yu ascended to the Spirit Realm and arrived at the interface for applying for a Daoist title.

He thought to himself, "That's true. If I don't have a Daoist title, how will others know that I have entered the Nascent Soul stage? And how will they call me True Lord?"

So Zhang Yu entered a Taoist name he had chosen: Moral True Lord.
"The Taoist name you applied for is already taken. Would you like to rename it? We suggest you change it to True Lord of Stealing, True Lord of Guiding Virtue, or True Lord of Reversing the Way..."

Seeing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think to himself, "Damn it... someone has already taken over the moral code? Can you even handle such a prestigious title?"

Helpless, Zhang Yu could only submit a new Daoist name.

Myriad Laws True Lord, Heavenly True Lord, Heavenly Mandate True Lord, Kunlun True Lord, Extreme Tiger True Lord, Local True Lord... As Zhang Yu submitted each Daoist title, it was repeated again and again.

"Damn it... someone already took the name of Jihu?" Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Two-character Daoist titles are too easy to be repeated. When will the Heavenly Court allow three- or four-character Daoist titles?"

"Maybe," Fu Ji said. "With so many Golden Core and Nascent Soul certificates issued this time, perhaps when the Heavenly Court descends, they will open up more Daoist titles with more characters. At that time, you can pay to add characters."

Zhang Yu pondered for a while and finally filled in a Taoist name, thus avoiding repetition.

"True Lord Zhuyi?" Upon seeing this Daoist title, Fu Ji's heart stirred, and she said, "He even deliberately included the character 'Yu' in it?"

She thought to herself, "Hmm, it's both fiery and bright. Is it trying to shine brightly and become famous throughout the world? But the character 'candle' also seems to have a feeling of releasing light in the darkness, somewhat like the immortal techniques this kid is using."

After completing the application for the Taoist name, Zhang Yu took a screenshot and posted it on his WeChat Moments.

"Perfect timing... it's time to announce my return."

As soon as Zhang Yu posted this on his WeChat Moments, the number of likes immediately increased rapidly, and various friends, classmates, fellow villagers, and subordinates sent their congratulations to Zhang Yu.

Zhao Tianxing: Congratulations to True Lord Zhuyi on his emergence from seclusion! [Fireworks][Fireworks][Fireworks]
Yingxin: My Lord! I haven't heard your teachings for over five months, and I'm extremely anxious!
Ye Xingli: True Lord, it's good that you're back. I'll return the company to you in a couple of days.
Looking at his friends' replies, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: "I never thought that after becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch, seeing these titles would make me feel distance and alienation at first."

Zhang Yu replied to Ye Xingli: Senior Sister, you will always be my Senior Sister. Just call me Junior Brother, there's no need to address me as True Lord.
Then he sent messages to Zhao Tianxing, Ying Xin, and others, telling them to use the same way they always addressed him.

Shi Huaiyu immediately became excited upon seeing the post on WeChat Moments: "Zhang Yu has emerged from seclusion? Is there going to be good news?"

Feng Tingting looked at Zhang Yu's WeChat Moments and was shocked: "Zhang Yu broke through to the Nascent Soul stage? Did he break through when he was talking to me before? Was I too negligent back then? How should I apologize to the True Lord?"

Kuang Tianqing's gaze sharpened: "He broke through to the Nascent Soul realm in just over a year?"

This further confirmed Kuang Tianqing's suspicions: "The more I look at Zhang Yu, the more he seems like a reincarnated immortal, or perhaps he possesses the memories of an immortal. Let me test him again..."

The method of Kuang Tianqing's experiment was also very simple: he offered himself as a concubine.

After more than a year of adaptation, Kuang Tianqing gradually understood a principle: his body, which had undergone the teachings of eight Nascent Soul cultivators, had an extremely high attraction for cultivators in this world.

"If Zhang Yu doesn't have the memories of an immortal, he'll definitely want to cultivate me."

"If he's not interested in me, and considering his past behavior... then he might really be a reincarnated immortal."

On the other side, looking at the messages that were sent one by one, Zhang Yu smiled and responded to each one.

Just then, he suddenly felt the airship jerk and come to a stop.

"Reached?"

When Zhang Yu arrived at the upper level of the flying boat, the large void between the second and third levels of Kunxu appeared before him.

This was his second time visiting this place since he joined the Magnetic God in battle.

What one sees is as if a huge hole has been pierced through the space between heaven and earth.

A large hole appeared simultaneously in the sky of the second level of Kunxu and on the ground of the third level.

Surrounding this enormous void, on the three layers of land all around, strongholds, fortresses, and fortresses were built one after another.

At this moment, countless flying boats lined up in a long queue, preparing to pass through the large void to travel between the second and third floors.

Almost every airship has to undergo inspection, and there are also tolls, taxes, and other matters to be paid.

Looking at the long queue, Zhang Yu couldn't help but frown slightly: "How long will we have to wait in line?"

Just then, Lord Qingmu asked Zhang Yu where he was. After hearing Zhang Yu's answer, he smiled slightly and said, "Go straight in."

“You are no longer a Golden Core cultivator; Nascent Soul True Monarchs can pass directly.”

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, and the next moment he ordered his men to maneuver the flying boat out of the crowd and fly directly towards the Great Void.

As soon as his flying boat started moving, another flying boat intercepted it and blocked Zhang Yu's way.

Mu Qiansi stepped out, her eyes revealing information about the flying boat and its passengers. She thought to herself, "The flying boat of the Myriad Laws... Hmm? Zhang Yu?"

As a prodigy of Hehuan University, Mu Qiansi was also a player in Zhang Yu's year of the Top Ten League and had faced off against Zhang Yu once.

Despite facing Zhang Yu, the ultimate champion, Mu Qiansi never lost her competitive spirit.

Especially after the great changes in the world and Mu Qiansi's breakthrough to the Golden Core realm, her fighting spirit was ignited even more.

"Although I am not as good as Zhang Yu or Kuang Tianqing in the Foundation Establishment stage, once I enter the Golden Core stage, I may not be unable to catch up with them in this chaotic world."

She even thought that Zhang Yu would spend a lot of time cultivating and comprehending the immortal sect's techniques, and that she might be able to reach the Nascent Soul realm before him in the future.

Of course, although she has the fighting spirit and the desire to challenge, it doesn't mean that Mu Qiansi will take the initiative to provoke or fight Zhang Yu. Unless necessary, she will not easily pay the price to fight.

However, nowadays, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the four Heavenly Demon Schools are targeting Magnetism God Lord everywhere, and the teachers and students of the four schools are also starting to target the University of Ten Thousand Laws everywhere.

Today, the majestic figure of Mu Qiansi guarded the pass. When he saw a flying boat of myriad laws suddenly jump out of the formation, he immediately stopped it.

When she discovered that Zhang Yu was the only passenger on the airship, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised, thinking to herself, "I heard that Zhang Yu has been missing for several months. Why has he suddenly appeared here? Could it be that Wanfa is about to make some move again?"

Thinking of this, Mu Qiansi immediately decided to take the opportunity to dig out some information about the other party, so that perhaps she could make a contribution to Hehuan University in the current struggle between the two Nascent Soul cultivators.

So Mu Qiansi walked forward with a cold look in her eyes and said to Zhang Yu, "Young man, would you please cooperate with us for an examination?"

Zhang Yu looked at Mu Qiansi and said with a faint smile, "As far as I know, according to the rules, a cultivator of your level is not qualified to use the word 'inspection' with me."

After saying that, Zhang Yu made no attempt to hide it and directly revealed the Daoist title 'True Lord Candlelight' above his head.

Looking at the four-character Taoist title, Mu Qiansi's breath caught in her throat. She felt as if each character carried the weight of a thousand pounds, and each character seemed to be shining brightly, so brightly that she couldn't open her eyes.

"Nascent Soul?!"

"Zhang Yu has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"So fast? How could it be so fast?!"

Staggered back several steps by the light of the Nascent Soul, Mu Qiansi composed herself and quickly bowed, saying, "I didn't know it was... True Lord Zhang who has arrived. Please forgive me, True Lord Zhang."

Zhang Yu nodded and then fell silent.

The next moment, the flying boat, bearing the title of 'True Lord Candlelight', passed through the Great Void without hindrance, leaving behind countless onlookers taking photos and screenshots, as well as Mu Qiansi with a look of melancholy.

"It's that Nascent Soul True Monarch bullying people again!"

"Damn it, they dare to inspect a Nascent Soul cultivator's flying boat? They really have no eyes."

"Nascent Soul cultivators should be thoroughly humiliated by Golden Core cultivators. Why didn't that True Monarch Zhuyi humiliate the Golden Core cultivator before leaving?"

Clearly, from an outsider's perspective, Nascent Soul cultivators should have special privileges, should not have to wait in line, and should be able to humiliate Golden Core cultivators.

After Zhang Yu arrived at a fortress in the Great Void, the Azure Wood God appeared directly in front of him.

Seeing the approaching Qingmu God, Zhang Yu could also sense the gloom between the other's brows.

"teacher……"

Aoki God waved his hand and pulled Zhang Yu away, saying, "There's no time to say more, let's get started."

He privately messaged Zhang Yu and asked: "Let me find out first. After you broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, has your ability to break through spatial blockades improved?"
Zhang Yu nodded and replied: "Of course, there has been great progress."
Lord Qingmu: Alright, may I use my Nascent Soul to perform this?
Zhang Yu: Yes

During the questioning and answering, Lord Qingmu led Zhang Yu to a secret room and pointed to the drill in front of him, saying, "Zhang Yu, if you trust me, put your nascent soul in it and do as I instruct you later."
