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

Chapter 828 Ying Shu's Scheme, Punishment List Released

At this moment, upon hearing what Bu Yuangui said, Bu Yingshu's heart stirred: "The fact that the old graveyard's labyrinth can be successfully reopened this time will affect the struggle between the Spirit Weapon Sect and the Soul Cultivation Sect?"

Bu Yuangui paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, the Soul Cultivation Sect will likely gain the upper hand this time."

Bu Yingshu's face showed surprise, and he immediately asked, "Why? Is it because it involves their own interests, so the Soul Cultivation Sect will put more effort into restoring the production of the old graveyard?"

Bu Yuangui said, "That's one point, but the key is not how much the Soul Cultivation Sect invests, but how many people oppose the Artifact Spirit Sect."

He sighed and continued, "Ying Shu, don't assume that the highly intelligent artifact spirits have a sure thing just because they've been so successful these past two years. In fact, there have always been many interest groups secretly opposing the highly intelligent artifact spirits."

"Industries like gambling, selling magic drugs, memory manipulation, and lifespan manipulation... how do you think they view highly intelligent spirits?"

"If one day highly intelligent artifact spirits replace most of the low and middle-level cultivators, how will they make money? Highly intelligent artifact spirits are good and capable of doing a good job, but soul cultivators can consume more than they can work."

"The reason they kept quiet before was simply because they had conflicts with each other, and the highly intelligent spirits had not yet truly infringed on their interests."

"This time, the Soul Cultivation Sect took the lead in charging forward for their own interests, and others naturally didn't mind going along with it."

Hearing this, Bu Yingshu nodded slightly, feeling that her father's words made a lot of sense and that she understood them completely. So she happily said, "In that case, the Soul Cultivation Sect will definitely protect Zhang Yu in order to resume production as soon as possible? So Zhang Yu will be fine?"

Thinking of this, Bu Yingshu felt relieved, especially knowing that her identity as the successor of the Great Sage would not be exposed for the time being, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, as if suddenly realizing something, she exclaimed, "But doesn't our family support highly intelligent spirits? What if the old cemetery resumes production?"

Bu Yuangui said, "We're not saying the Spirit Weapon Faction is guaranteed to win, but we're betting on them winning. But we're not betting on just one of them winning either."

Bu Yuangui said calmly, "The collective consciousness technology of the Wild Ox lineage can be used to work with artifact spirits, and of course, it can also be used to work with soul cultivators."

“Ying Shu, you must understand that in Kunxu, there is no industry that makes money forever. Sometimes, whether an industry makes money or not is not up to them.”

"We'll invest in what we profit from, and leave the rest for now. As long as we stand firmly on the land of the Myriad Laws Sect..."

After saying that, Bu Yuangui looked at his daughter and smiled, saying, "Your plan this time is very good. You sent Zhang Yu to seize Yingxintian's cave. We might as well get involved in the project to revive the old cemetery."

Bu Yingshu raised her beautiful chin and said proudly, "I didn't think that much about it."

Watching Bu Yingshu's departing figure, Bu Yingshu's older brother, Bu Zhenting, came out and said, "How did Yingshu know about the labyrinth in advance?"

Bu Yuangui glanced at him and said, "Don't you know how useless your sister is? Outsiders think we did it, but don't you know whether your own family did it or not?"

Bu Zhenting smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself, "It seems that Zhang Yu's matter really wasn't handled by the clan."

Bu Yuangui said calmly, "Zhang Yu not only seized the inheritance, but also dared to challenge the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan, and even found a good way out for himself. There must be a master behind him."

"But I don't know just how amazing this master is. It's perfect for my fearless daughter to go and test the waters."

……

Heavenly Sword Sect

"It is rumored that Zhang Yu, a Level 4 sect affairs officer of the Wanfa Sect, has filed a formal complaint against the Taizhen Immortal Clan. Preliminary investigation has revealed that this complaint lacks any real evidence and is entirely false. The Taizhen Immortal Clan has consistently been dedicated to its duties and law-abiding, earning the unanimous recognition of all sects in Kunxu." Relevant departments have clarified the facts, and malicious false accusations will be dealt with according to law…

One news article after another attacking Zhang Yu appeared, causing Bai Zhenzhen to jump up, her whole body radiating sword energy, and she said worriedly, "Has something happened to Yu Zi?"

Just then, the mysterious man who had been instructing Bai Zhenzhen on swordsmanship said, "What's wrong? Are you worried that he'll be repeatedly ravaged by the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan? Are you worried that he'll be caught by the Tai Zhen Immortal and refined in an instant?"

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly turned her head and looked at the mysterious man, saying, "How can I save him? I'll do anything you ask as long as I can save him."

The mysterious man said, "How about we have you switch to the Path of Blissful Swordsmanship?"

Seeing Bai Zhenzhen hesitate for a moment before agreeing, the mysterious man sneered: "You wish! Don't you even look in the mirror? You're already blessed by the heavens. I'm here to watch you have your cuckolded body, not to help you cheat."

"If you practice the Ecstasy Sword Path and treat being cuckolded as a form of entertainment, what's the point?"

"When someone who doesn't like their job works hard, that's called self-discipline and breaking out of their comfort zone. But when someone who likes their job goes to work, that's called indulgence and staying in their comfort zone."

"As for Zhang Yu's safety, you don't need to worry. The little bit of smear propaganda is just the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan's death throes."

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the other party suspiciously and asked, "Yu Zi is so hostile to the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan, can he really get away with it? I read the report, this is a great immortal clan that spans nine major sects."

The mysterious man said, "This Zhang Yu... hehe, his identity, which he obtained through examinations, can be seen as a contribution of some people's reforms. This time, he even took on the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan, willingly becoming a tool of those above him. He's positioned himself perfectly, stepping on the pulse of the changing times."

"He can now be used to both cut off the flesh of the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan and to develop the old graveyard and suppress highly intelligent artifact spirits. In the next few years, he will probably rise step by step."

As he spoke, the mysterious man looked at Bai Zhenzhen and laughed again: "How's it going, Bai Zhenzhen? Zhang Yu is about to soar to great heights. Don't you feel that you, this piece of trash, are becoming less and less worthy of Zhang Yu?"

"Have you ever thought about how many subordinates Zhang Yu will have to rape every day, given the current atmosphere in Wanfa? And how many superiors will he have to rape? How do you feel about that now? How do you feel about that?"

"Do you feel your sword energy getting stronger and stronger? Your sword intent getting more and more intense?"

"Remember this feeling; this is the feeling the Extreme Emotion Sword Immortal had when he created this sword technique."

……

Inside a room in an old cemetery.

The righteous god in front of Ying Aikun coldly said, "Ying Aikun, don't think that anyone will come to save you. As the saying goes, when one attains enlightenment, not even chickens and dogs are left alive. You were once a member of the immortal race and came into contact with immortals. You should know how negative assets are dealt with."

Upon hearing these words, Ying Aikun's dantian magic surged, and a struggle flashed in his eyes, but he still remained silent.

The deity before him continued, "The contents of the Qiankun Pot involve serious illegal and criminal activities. Do you know how many lifetimes you would have to die to make up for the loss?"

Ying Aikun quickly said, "There's nothing in my Qiankun Pot! Someone forced it in; they've framed me!"

The righteous god said, "So you admit that the Qiankun Pot contains evidence of guilt?"

Ying Aikun firmly stated, "I, Ying Aikun, am loyal to my sect and to the immortals. You cannot wrong me like this!"

Ying Aikun knew that for the past three years, everyone in the sect had been working together to devour Ying Xintian's assets, and that wasn't a problem. But if they were drawn into the storm of sect struggles, that would be a huge weakness and a handle to be used against them.

The righteous god said, "Oh? Which sect are you loyal to? And which immortal are you loyal to?"

“List out everything you found in his Qiankun Pot for me.”

"Longevity Flame, Immortal Crystals, and these..."

Ten minutes later, Ying Aikun slapped himself repeatedly while weeping and crying, "I deserve to die! I'm not human! I'm a beast! I've failed all laws, I've failed the Heavenly Demons, I'm ashamed of the divine grace I received!"

The gods before them paid no attention; they had seen this kind of scene far too often.

No matter how many people the Heavenly Court and the major sects arrest or punish, as long as there is an opportunity to obtain excess profits, an opportunity to surge in one's potential for immortality, or an opportunity to go further on the path of immortality, there will always be people willing to take risks in Kunxu.

The righteous god said, "Then confess properly. Tell us everything you know about the crimes committed by the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan. Remember, think carefully before you speak, and don't implicate the innocent or make baseless accusations."

All the righteous gods inside and outside the room understood that although the investigation was supposed to go back three years to catch all the corrupt officials, the higher-ups had already set the tone that the scope and intensity of the crackdown must be controlled.

Upon hearing this, Ying Aikun's inner power surged once more. He knew that he was to aim the knife at the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan, but the blood was not to be spilled on anyone else.

He seemed to see in the darkness that countless forces were sharpening their knives, eager to carve a chunk of flesh from the behemoth that the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan spanned nine major sects.

Will the immortal Taizhen step in to protect these descendants?
Ying Aikun had been waiting for many days, but Taizhen Immortal still hadn't made a move.

In this situation, Ying Aikun's first thought was to protect himself, because he knew that... in Kunxu, even death was not the end.

In the words of the surrounding tax inspectors, it meant: you're just dead, not that you're exempt from paying taxes.

Even if I die, I'll keep working to pay off my debts.

Therefore, whether he chooses to tough it out or to atone for his sins through meritorious service, and whether he will ultimately repay a debt that lasts for several lifetimes or dozens of lifetimes, is extremely crucial.

Thinking of this, Ying Aikun looked at the God of Justice and said, "I want to apply to become a Soul Cultivator. I want to be completely under the surveillance of the Heavenly Court."

He understood that he was unlikely to be able to keep his physical body, and becoming a soul cultivator was a form of protection for him. By keeping him completely under the surveillance of the Heavenly Court, he could prevent being killed to silence him.

……

Within the retention point.

Su Lingyou looked at Kuang Tianqing in front of her and said coldly, "The Heavenly Demon Sect only sent you, a level 3 sect affairs officer?"

Although she was trapped here during this time, she could still feel the intensity of the struggle outside. Several groups of righteous gods had come to question her.

The cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Sect in front of her was also a complete stranger, clearly indicating that many cultivators within the Heavenly Demon Sect viewed this matter as a hot potato.

Compared to Ying Aikun, Su Lingyou appeared more composed.

After all, as a 7th-level Transcending Tribulation cultivator, she established laws to uphold the Dao lineage, and has herself become part of the Kunxu governance system.

As long as this era still needs her and her laws, and she hasn't shaken the rule of the Celestial Emperors, at most she'll just be far from the center of power, not to the point of going bankrupt or being reincarnated to pay off debts. In the words of the true gods, cultivators like her... simple laws are no longer sufficient to handle them.

Kuang Tianqing looked at the other party, smiled slightly, and said, "I didn't expect that after I left the sect for a while, so many people wouldn't recognize me."

Su Lingyou's heart skipped a beat: "The old guy who returned to the sect after reincarnation?"

Kuang Tianqing said calmly, "Su Lingyou, are you still loyal to the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

Su Lingyou said, "I have been a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect since I was born. From the moment I received my first salary from the Heavenly Demon Sect, I have never done anything to betray the Heavenly Demon Sect, nor have I ever missed paying taxes."

Kuang Tianqing nodded slightly and then asked, "Then what kind of Heavenly Demon are you? Tai Zhen can't represent the Heavenly Demons."

Su Lingyou's heart skipped a beat. Combining the other party's hint just now, a guess suddenly came to her mind: "He is a member of the Samsara Group?"

Recalling her arrival at the old graveyard, a cold glint suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she thought to herself, "Is this a trap set by the Reincarnation Sect?"

"The Reincarnation Sect is doing this... to repair the old graveyard? To cultivate more souls? To suppress highly intelligent artifact spirits? To make more people die and come back to life? And to launch a purge against the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan, to eradicate the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan from within the Heavenly Demon Sect, and send them to be reincarnated?"

"Such ruthless methods, such a grand scheme."

Just then, Kuang Tianqing projected a series of documents and said, "These are things we found out from Ying Aikun. Take a look."

Looking at the content projected on the screen, Su Lingyou suddenly closed her eyes, as if countless thoughts were churning in her mind.

After a moment, she changed her tone and said, "Having spent so much time in the detention center, I have also deeply reflected on my own problems."

Kuang Tianqing noticed the other party's sudden change, a strange light flashing in his eyes: "How much do you know about the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan's embezzlement of Ying Xintian's assets?"

Su Lingyou said, "I don't know the total number, I only know the part related to the Heavenly Demon Sect. I'm willing to cooperate with the investigation, but I want to know how far you intend to investigate?"

From the other party's words, Kuang Tianqing understood what they meant: Su Lingyou wanted to betray them and join their side.

This was not unexpected for Kuang Tianqing, or rather, it was precisely his purpose in coming here.

Cultivators above the Refinement Void realm who establish laws and uphold the lineage are important talents in any sect.

Su Lingyou's laws are related to information from the spirit world. Although they can also be used to support Tai Zhen's lineage, they are indeed more suitable for supporting the lineage of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.

Kuang Tianqing also sensed the probing intent in the other party's words. Although Su Lingyou wanted to join the Samsara Group, she still needed to confirm the true level of Kuang Tianqing and the person behind him.

Kuang Tianqing projected a document in front of Su Lingyou: "Peak Master Su, the Heavenly Demon Palace needs your full cooperation in investigating this incident."

Looking at the markings on the document, Su Lingyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "So it really is... the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor?"

"Ancestor, you were too prominent and too powerful among the immortals, which made you the target of the Immortal Emperor... Your defeat was not unjust."

"In the end, the Heavenly Demon Sect is ruled by the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor."

At this moment, Su Lingyou even felt a surge of excitement. How could the thigh of the Taizhen Immortal be as comfortable as the thigh of the Samsara Immortal Emperor?

At the same time, Su Lingyou immediately straightened her body, and her Tai Zhen Immortal Clan's cultivation technique instantly switched to the authentic Heavenly Demon Sect's demonic technique. Her original aloof temperament also became sinister and demonic.

Su Lingyou said, "I will definitely cooperate fully."

Kuang Tianqing then asked, "Approximately how much of Yingxintian's assets do you know of that the Taizhen Immortal Clan has secretly embezzled and hidden?"

Su Lingyou said, "As far as I know, it's around 1.2 trillion."

Kuang Tianqing: "How much?!"

Su Lingyou: "At least trillions."

Kuang Tianqing's spiritual projection left the room, a look of excitement rising in his eyes.

He knew that the treasure chest from the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan would yield a lot of money, but he never expected to find so much.

At this moment, Kuang Tianqing seemed to have already seen the bloodshed and chaos within the sect, as well as the resources needed for his upcoming advancement.

Kuang Tianqing looked out the window and saw the construction teams from the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Netherworld Palace, and the White Bone Sect working busily.

He knew that many cultivators had come to the labyrinth during this time, trying to repair the site and resume production, but it seemed that all their efforts had been in vain.

"Currently, many large corporations are urging the task force to speed things up, wanting to restore the production lines here as soon as possible..."

Kuang Tianqing thought to himself, "Zhang Yu will probably be released soon."

……

Inside the temple deep within the spirit realm.

Behind the layers of red walls and golden tiles, dragons soar and phoenixes circle.

A majestic deity radiating five-colored light stood in the hall, his hands forming a Daoist incantation. An aura of compassion emanated from him, and his slightly closed eyes seemed to be unable to bear the suffering of the world.

This great god is none other than the first righteous god of the All People's Department, a great god born of all living beings.

At this very moment, countless pieces of information are flowing back and forth in the spirit world inside and outside the main hall.

All the data about each level of Kunxu were gathered before this great god, and countless choices, decisions, and processes were laid out before him, determining the future of billions of living beings in Kunxu.

But the next moment, the divine sense of the God of All Beings, born of Heaven, showed a slight, unusual fluctuation.

A document appeared before him, looking just like the other billions of documents that appeared before him at the same time.

However, the content involves the inheritance of Ying Xintian, which requires registering the Immortal Cave Heaven left by Ying Xintian and temporarily registering the user as Zhang Yu of the Wanfa Sect.

Regarding the question of the ownership of Ying Xintian's bloodline power, it will also be temporarily held by Zhang Yu, and it also needs to be registered with the Ministry of People.

"Zhang Yu?"

A sense of familiarity had just arisen when, in the next instant, all sorts of information about Zhang Yu appeared in the consciousness of the God of All Beings, and he already knew everything about Zhang Yu.

"It's him again."

Looking back at the awards he had given to the other person, the great god of all beings recalled the relationship between the other person and Zhang Pianpian.

His sharp eyes swept over Zhang Yu's experiences and data, and he thought to himself, "The reforms in Kunxu have ultimately proven useful."

"Daring to draw his sword against an immortal... Ying Xintian can be considered to have a worthy successor."

A sense of approval welled up in the heart of the Great God of All Beings. As a righteous god born to manage Kunxu, he seemed to be happy to reward such a cultivator.

"allow."

……

“Magnetic pole, it’s not that your master doesn’t want to help you, but you want us to step in on such a big matter? You’re harming your master.”

In the spirit world, a young man looked at the magnetic poles before him as if they were poor relatives in the countryside. He shook his head and said with disdain, "If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

"Back in the day, you were a renowned prodigy, far more capable than me."

"Who would have thought you'd make such a foolish decision to stay down there?"

As the young man spoke, he looked at the magnetic poles and sighed inwardly, "A single step can make all the difference. My current cultivation, skills, and vision are far beyond what you, the former prodigy, could ever hope to achieve. This is the price of making the wrong choice; talent and hard work are worthless in the face of the right choices."

“Magnetic Pole, you’ve been in the lower realm for too long and are not familiar with the sect. This incident is not something someone of your status should get involved in. As your former senior brother, I’m giving you some advice.”

"Stay in the training school and don't meddle in other people's business."

Looking at the young man who had hung up the call, Magneton, though he had expected it, still couldn't help but clench his fists.

Old Gao, standing to the side, said, "Sigh, you know these guys have long since forgotten about our past relationships since they joined the sect, so why bother begging them?"

Magnet said, "What else can we do but try? They're the highest-ranking people I know in the sect. Now that Zhang Yu is in trouble, who else can we turn to besides them?"

Just then, Yin Quan Shenjun sent them a message: Look at this news quickly: [Spirit Realm Connection]

"Upon investigation, it has been found that Ying Aikun of the Heavenly Demon Sect has lost his sectarian integrity and seriously violated the laws and regulations of the sect and the Heavenly Court. The nature of his actions is serious and the impact is extremely negative..."

Looking at the rows of punishments related to the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan, Ciji was shocked: "They're all from the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan?"

Immediately afterwards, the magnetic pole saw Zhang Yu's name.
