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

Chapter 840 The Calculation Pool is Activated, Level 5 Three-Eyed Divine Power, Leaders Go First? (7200+ words, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

When Zhang Yu saw the advanced computing pool that Lao Gao had picked up, he was slightly taken aback, and then a hint of joy flashed through his mind.

"Sure enough, it was the right decision to send Teacher Gao to transport supplies in the experimental area, as he is at the prime of his career."

Before the development zone reconstruction plan was officially launched, Zhang Yu knew in his heart that the most valuable resources, the most cutting-edge equipment, and the most important data in the entire labyrinth were definitely in the experimental zone.

After all, during the battle between the immortals, Ying Xintian transformed half of the old graveyard into a labyrinth, and there was simply no time to remove the various supplies inside.

The laboratories established here by various companies naturally employed a great deal of advanced equipment.

The abacus in front of us is one such example.

Seeing Zhang Yu's stunned expression, Lao Gao asked nervously, "How is it? Zhang Yu, did this work?"

Regarding the computing pool he had picked up, Lao Gao could only tell that it was very advanced, but he was also worried about whether it would be useful to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu nodded firmly and said, "Useful! Of course it's useful, extremely useful!"

“Teacher Gao, what you’ve gained from this trip is equivalent to many years of my salary.”

Old Gao laughed when he heard this, nodding as he said, "Okay, as long as it's useful, as long as you can use it."

"I'll go back to the experimental area and see if there's anything else good."

Having said that, Lao Gao moved and soared into the sky, enveloped in layers of divine light, shooting towards the distant Cave Heaven Bridge.

But the next moment, Zhang Yu stopped him and said, "Teacher Gao, it's too much trouble for you to keep running back and forth like this. I'll put a bridge to the cave on you instead."

Old Gao quickly waved his hand and said, "Why would I give it to you? I don't need it. The experimental area already has the Heavenly Bridge, making it very convenient to come and go. With my cultivation level, I can get there in the blink of an eye. You should keep this Heavenly Bridge to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world..."

Zhang Yu reached out and pressed down, setting up a bridge to the cave onto Lao Gao's body.

"Teacher Gao, please take it."

“Now more and more people are watching us. With this bridge to the celestial realm, you can hide in the celestial realm anytime, anywhere when you are out and about. I can only feel at ease when you are safe.”

"Moreover, if you find something and need to bring it back, or if you get lost in the maze, you can return instantly through this bridge to the heavens, which is much more convenient."

Old Gao nodded seriously: "I understand. I'll be going now. You can continue studying this calculation pool."

Watching Lao Gao turn and leave, Zhang Yu reminded him, "Teacher, if you encounter danger in the experimental area, don't try to tough it out alone. Teacher Ciji and I are ready to help you at any time."

Old Gao didn't answer, he just waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

Watching Lao Gao's figure cross the bridge of the grotto and disappear into the immortal grotto, Zhang Yu turned his head to look at the newly acquired calculation pool.

He first went outside to check the name and model of the arithmetic pool, intending to collect information, find a user manual, and learn how to use the arithmetic pool.

However, after searching for a while, he still couldn't find it. He had to borrow Bu Yingshu's high-level Tianwen Star account to finally see the information about the Calculation Pool.

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "If you don't have money or power, you can't use even if you find rare and precious materials in Kunxu."

Looking at the various parameters of this computing pool, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

"This computing pool is enough to support the operation of tens of thousands of soul cultivators, and it can even assist me in thinking. After increasing my mental processing speed, it can keep up with the Void Refinement level..."

Zhang Yu thought to himself that with this calculator, he wouldn't have to worry about falling behind the other leaders in the management committee when he went to meetings in the future.

But ideals are beautiful, while reality is harsh.

The immortal technology of Kunxu is a complex system. Whether it is cultivation techniques, magic treasures, magical bodies, or various production lines, laboratories, or equipment such as calculation pools, they all require systematic support in order to unleash their full power.

The first problem Zhang Yu encountered while operating the computing pool was energy consumption.

An advanced computing pool like this, capable of supporting Void Refinement level calculations, must be a huge energy consumer, requiring a massive input of mana to operate at full power.

According to Zhang Yu's own understanding, spiritual energy is like coal and oil, while magical power is like electricity.

Zhang Yu's immortal cave already had ample spiritual energy, but the original breathing techniques were too weak. He lacked a "real power plant" to operate such a high-powered device as the calculation pool.

As for placing the calculation pool outside? And using the external mana circuits?
Zhang Yu did not intend to do so, because according to his future plans, this computing pool would inevitably store a large amount of important data. Leaving it outside would make it too easy to be hacked and probed, and connecting the magic circuit inside would be for the same reason.

Zhang Yu refused the Spirit Realm's attempt to cover his cave heaven because he wanted to be free from surveillance and have a sufficiently secluded space. Naturally, he wouldn't give up all of that for the sake of the Calculation Pool.

Fortunately, the production lines for corpse parts also had their own spiritual energy extraction systems. Zhang Yu could only temporarily pull a magic power circuit from the production line into the calculation pool, which was enough to meet the basic conditions for starting the calculation pool and allow it to perform at about 5% to 10% of its capacity.

The second problem Zhang Yu encountered while operating the calculation pool was the spirit realm.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "We have the electrical wires, but not the internet cable."

Because he didn't want to be constantly monitored by the gods, Zhang Yu's Immortal Cave Heaven did not cover the spirit world.

Without a connection to the spirit world, how Zhang Yu could exchange information with this computing pool and how he could utilize its capabilities became a problem.

"Does this mean we're going to cover the spirit world?"

"But if that's the case, wouldn't my entire Immortal Grotto be under the constant surveillance of the righteous gods?"

"And those high-level spirit realm projections can also descend at any time?"

Zhang Yu shook his head. Even if it was difficult to use this calculation pool, he was unwilling to cover the spirit realm within the Immortal Cave Heaven.

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering this problem and feeling caught in a dilemma, Fu Ji coughed.

"Cough cough."

Fu Ji said, "Zhang Yu, why don't you ask that spirit world technology expert next to you, the master of the information field, the one who can directly confront the true gods in the spirit world, and the creator of the dark spirit world?"

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered slightly: "You have a way?"

Fuki said, "There was nothing we could do before because we lacked equipment support."

"But now that you already have this calculation pool, why not use it as the center to create a Dark Spirit Realm that covers the entire Immortal Grotto Heaven?"

Zhang Yu's heart stirred, realizing that if this were the case, it would be equivalent to setting up a local area network within the Immortal Cave Heaven, connecting the computing pool, production line, and future laboratory all together.

Furthermore, his various clones, as well as Magnetic Pole, Lao Gao, Yu Xinghan, and others, could communicate with each other via a local area network inside the Immortal Cave.

Fuki, however, had already thought of the issue of the Spirit Realm and the Dark Spirit Realm the moment she saw the Calculation Pond.

The reason she didn't bring it up immediately was because she was constantly refining the design of the entire Dark Spirit Realm framework.

Once she opened her mouth, she began to recount the entire plan in great detail.

"And since you possess the ability to manifest celestial realms, allowing you to exist simultaneously in both the celestial celestial realm and the material world, it means that, with yourself as the center, you can simultaneously connect to the dark spirit realm within the celestial realm and the spirit realm of the material world..."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, knowing that in this way, even if he was in the material world, he could still keep track of the Dark Spirit Realm of the Immortal Cave Heaven at any time, and monitor and control all kinds of equipment in the cave heaven through the Dark Spirit Realm, including the calculation pool in front of him.

"Very good, Fu Ji, I hereby appoint you as the chief network administrator of the Immortal Cave Heaven."

"Next, you can command one of my clones to manage all affairs of the Dark Spirit Realm within the cave, and you will be fully responsible for it."

Fuki was startled, then immediately perked up and said, "Leave it to me."

Fu Ji thought to herself, "What Wild Ox, Immortal Slayer, Immortal Disciple, Demon Saint? Facts have proven that I, Fu Ji, am the one Zhang Yu trusts and values ​​the most."

Zhang Yu asked, "Fu Ji, with your abilities, you should be able to complete this task very soon, right?"

Fuki said, "Two days! I'll get it done for you within two days."

After saying that, Fu Ji raised her request again: "But this will consume a lot of my power, Zhang Yu... I need to replenish my evil god power. Without enough evil god power, I can't finish so quickly. It might take ten days or half a month to complete."

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "I'll give you a limit of 10,000 Immortal Coins first, you can buy whatever you want. After it's done, I'll give you a bonus and another 10,000 Immortal Coins."

Fu Ji was secretly delighted upon hearing this: "Hehe, Zhang Yu... I told you, you'd eventually spend more and more money on me, today is just the beginning!"

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, when faced with questions from Ciji and the others, Zhang Yu described the process of setting up the Dark Spirit Realm as the construction of a Regional Spirit Realm.

As for how he did it? It was naturally due to the power passed down from the immortals.

On this day, accompanied by a surge of evil divine power within the cave, a regional dark spirit realm was activated, centered on the Calculation Pool.

Zhang Yu's thoughts instantly connected with the Calculation Pool through the Dark Spirit Realm.

In an instant, he felt his brain become completely active, and with the help of the computing power provided by the computing pool, his thinking speed increased several times.

Immediately afterwards, his thoughts crossed the Calculation Pool and wandered through the Dark Spirit Realm above the Immortal Cave.

Surveillance equipment transported from the factory area is now found throughout Dongtian.

With the connection to the Dark Spirit Realm, Zhang Yu was able to overlook the entire Immortal Cave Heaven through these monitoring devices.

Zhang Yu could sense not only the situation inside the Immortal Cave Heaven, but also the situation near the Cave Heaven Bridge through the monitoring equipment installed inside and outside the Cave Heaven Bridge.

At that moment, Zhang Yu's mind stirred, and like playing a building game, he began to observe the entire Immortal Cave Heaven from all angles.

He could see the state of every corner of the Dark Spirit Realm, the production lines that Magnetic Pole and Yin Spring were building, the corpses that were operating quietly, the 18 entrances formed by the 18 bridges of the Immortal Cave Heaven, and the surrounding area.

With such monitoring capabilities, coupled with Zhang Yu's cave-heaven power, if Bu Yingshu were to launch another surprise attack and force his way through the cave-heaven bridge, it probably wouldn't be so easy.

As long as her speed doesn't exceed Zhang Yu's reaction time, Zhang Yu can close the Cave Heaven Bridge the moment he senses her.

At this moment, Zhang Yu truly felt that he had completely taken control of the entire Immortal Cave Heaven.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yu released one long-dormant soul cultivator after another into the calculation pool.

Mo Tianyi, who came from the first-level Soul Cultivation High School, and Hu Yuntao, who came from the second level, who also came from the first level, were admitted to the second level, respectively, from Hongta High School and Tianyao University.

There's also Che Yufei from the Civil Engineering Department of Wanfa University, who once participated in a civil engineering competition with Zhang Yu, but ultimately went bankrupt due to the collapse of Qiongjiang Coin.

There are also Yingxin's elders, who also come from Wanfa University.

These soul cultivators who followed Zhang Yu into the sect have been in a deep sleep ever since they entered the sect due to insufficient conditions.

But at this moment, they felt as if they had woken up from a dream, and then they felt an unprecedented abundance of computing power supporting their operation.

At the same time, the yin energy in the surrounding environment made them feel extremely comfortable.

Zhang Yu began by saying, "Everyone, welcome to the sect."

He then briefly explained the current situation, leaving Mo Tianyi, Hu Yuntao, Che Yufei, and the others dumbfounded.

For them, because of their slumber, leaving the lower realm felt like it was just a few minutes ago, and then in the blink of an eye they saw Zhang Yu become a Level 4 Sect Affairs Officer, a Nascent Soul cultivator, holding a position of real power, and also involved in the struggle between immortals and Daoist lineages.

Mo Tianyi said excitedly, "As expected of the Divine Lord Zhuyi, he is not only the strongest high school student and the strongest college student, but he will definitely be the strongest sect affairs officer in the future."

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "Hey, you can't just say things like 'the strongest sect affairs officer' carelessly."

Hu Yuntao felt the nourishment from the abacus and exclaimed, "This abacus... I'm afraid even if the entire Hongta Group sold its assets, we still couldn't afford to buy it."

Che Yufei said, "Even among the top ten, there probably isn't a calculation pool of this high level." As the soul cultivators were assigned to positions such as monitoring and production lines, Zhang Yu's control over the entire cave heaven deepened, and management became increasingly convenient.

Sensing the situation on the production line, Zhang Yu discovered that Magnetic Pole and Yin Quan were already able to produce some engineering corpse parts to maintain the corpse part production line.

"The production line can be used to provide my clones with cheap and easy-to-use mid-to-low-end magic weapons and artifacts."

"And once the laboratory is established, it can provide high-end equipment for my main body."

But Zhang Yu understood that the establishment of the production line and laboratory could not be accomplished overnight. It would require Professor Gao to continue to work hard in the experimental area and factory area, and it would require the efforts of Ciji, Yinquan and others to build it.

This is a long-term investment, and may even become a lifelong investment in the future, something that needs to be continuously improved as Zhang Yu's strength grows.

"Once Teacher Ciji's [The Creation of Heaven and Earth] and Senior Sister Ye Xingli's [Spiritual Essence of Artifacts] are upgraded, they should greatly assist in the construction of the production line and laboratory."

However, Zhang Yu understood that the most urgent task at present was to subdue the Refining Void Corpse within 20 days, and the improvement of the Dao Seeds of Magnetic Pole and Night Star Glass should be put later.

As for the preparations for refining the Void Corpse Parts, everything is ready except for Zhang Yu's final preparation for a power boost... the Three-Eyed Divine Ability.

……

Before the ground littered with immortal crystals, Yu Xinghan sat cross-legged, diligently refining his magical power.

Since acquiring these immortal crystals, Zhang Yu has often brought Yu Xinghan along to refine his magical power, helping him to improve the grade of his Three-Eyed Divine Power.

As Zhang Yu struck again, injecting a torrent of magical power into Yu Xinghan's body, Yu Xinghan felt his third eye in his brain throb violently, and in the next moment, it underwent a kind of sublimation.

"My spiritual root..."

In that instant, a realization flashed through Yu Xinghan's mind: "I've broken through to the Immortal Spirit Root."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhang Yu looked at the [Three-Eyed Divine Power] that had broken through to level 5 on the "Taoist Seed Manual".

Zhang Yu knew that the three-eyed divine power at levels 1 to 3 granted Yu Xinghan a powerful talent for martial arts, even allowing him to quickly learn a martial art just by glancing at it.

The previous level 4 [Three-Eyed Divine Power] granted Yu Xinghan the ability to see the wear and tear on other people's bodies.

In Zhang Yu's view, this means that the blessing of the [Three-Eyed Divine Power] is gradually shifting from cultivation to combat.

Now that he has comprehended the level 5 [Three-Eyed Divine Power], he feels even more certain that his prediction was correct.

Level 5 [Three-Eyed Divine Power] allows one to see flaws in the human body, magical artifacts, and other magical remains, revealing the weaknesses in their structure.

If used in civil engineering, this would be an excellent maintenance tool.

If used in the crafting of magical artifacts, it would be a good way to improve their quality.

In combat, it becomes an output amplifier that can target weaknesses with every attack and deliver critical hits every time.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu revealed a satisfied smile: "Very good, this is exactly the kind of ability I need to subdue the Void Refinement Corpse Parts this time."

At this moment, there are still 15 days left before the 20-day cleanup period agreed upon by the management committee.

Zhang Yu also selected the first berserk corpse at the Void Refinement level that he wanted to subdue.

……

Inside the Spirit Realm Conference Room, Zhang Yu, as the Vice President of the Management Committee, summoned all the Nascent Soul level cultivators under his command, including Tu Mu from the Construction Bureau.

Among them were a total of 13 Nascent Soul cultivators from the Bureau of Construction, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Public Security, Bureau of Road Clearing, and Construction Company.

These are all the Nascent Soul cultivators that Zhang Yu could summon from these units.

After all, what they were about to face were berserk corpses at the Void Refinement level.

Although he had made ample preparations and his strength had increased dramatically, Zhang Yu dared not relax in the slightest when facing opponents at the Void Refinement level.

Looking at the Nascent Soul cultivators before him, Zhang Yu's backlight flashed, projecting information about a maddened corpse.

"This is the Forge, a berserk corpse at the Void Refinement level that was once used within the Nexus."

"After losing control, he frantically absorbed spiritual energy, constantly generating high-temperature magic power that directly melted the earth, causing him to sink thousands of meters underground, and he is still descending."

The image shows a gigantic skull that looks like an incandescent planet.

Pale white flames continuously erupted from the skull, turning the entire underground space into a purgatory.

Zhang Yu explained, "The magical flames produced by the World-Forging Furnace can not only decompose matter and cause explosions, but also burn the soul and primordial spirit, causing a regression in one's Dao heart..."

This is the first crazed corpse that Zhang Yu has chosen to subdue.

This was also the target that Zhang Yu specifically chose after observing the entire maze with the power of his cave, and after looking through each of the Void Refining Corpse Parts.

This is because, in Zhang Yu's view, the Forging Furnace that once operated within the Magic Hub was like a super generator, and its ability to refine spiritual energy and condense magical power was exactly what Zhang Yu's cave heaven urgently needed.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Even setting aside combat power, just using this Forging Furnace as a generator is enough to keep my computing pool running at full capacity. I won't have to worry about energy shortages for the construction of future production lines and laboratories."

However, compared to the confident Zhang Yu, the Nascent Soul cultivators like Tu Mu were all taken aback by Zhang Yu's words.

In the blink of an eye, information from the spiritual realm was circulating among these Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Are you crazy? You want us to deal with Void Refinement Corpse Parts?"

"This is terrible! A battle between a Nascent Soul cultivator and a Void Refinement cultivator? Is Vice President Zhang trying to kill us?"

"Damn it... I knew they had ulterior motives for bringing so many people to the meeting."

Some people scoffed, seemingly having seen through everything: "Hmph, they'll definitely put us at the forefront. How much money will they lose? How many people will die?"

Some people sighed inwardly, "Alas, so being a Nascent Soul cultivator as vice president is still not enough. If a Void Refinement cultivator were in that position, why would we need to risk our lives? Zhang Yu is really something, without the cultivation level, what kind of vice president are you?"

Watching everyone's conversation, Tu Mu sighed inwardly, recalling the so-called 20-day agreement.

"Sigh, it seems that Vice President Zhang has been driven to desperation by the agreement to clear the maze within 20 days."

Tu Mu thought to himself, "You expect us to deal with the Void Refining Corpse? You want us to be at the forefront, risking our lives and spending money to help him suppress the Void Refining Corpse? How is that possible..."

Tu Mu seemed to have already seen the future scene: one after another, the Nascent Soul cultivators pretended to be giving it their all, but in reality they were just slacking off, leaving Zhang Yu furious in the back, but he didn't dare to go up himself.

Tu Mu thought to himself, "I'm afraid this battle is destined to be lost. Could it be that I misjudged him? With this Nascent Soul cultivation... is he ultimately not able to hold onto the position of vice president?"

Although the Nascent Soul cultivators present were all inwardly criticizing and scoffing at Zhang Yu's plan, no one outwardly objected.

Tu Mu and the others said, "Vice President Zhang, don't worry, we'll fight however you want us to."

……

"I'll go up first. Don't come over unless I call you."

In a vast space thousands of meters underground, Zhang Yu, while adjusting to the intense heat, addressed the numerous Nascent Soul cultivators behind him: "Do you understand?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, the Nascent Soul cultivators behind him were slightly taken aback: "Huh?"

Tu Mu thought to himself, "The leaders are going first? What's going on? Is this still Kunxu?"

Before they could react, Zhang Yu had already taken a step forward, shooting towards the Forging Furnace like a shooting star.

Just a kilometer away from the Forging Furnace, Zhang Yu's clothes, which could already be considered magical artifacts, were reduced to ashes.

Even though he enveloped his entire body in protective energy, the energy was still fiercely burned by the magical flames of the Forging Furnace and was rapidly consumed.

"Truly impressive."

Zhang Yu had already used his physical supernatural power, the Formless Free Body, to adapt to the flames for half a day, but he still felt that the flames of the Forging Furnace could completely destroy the basic structure of matter.

Even though he had adapted to the high temperature, his internal energy and body were still being worn down all the time.

As Zhang Yu advanced, this phenomenon intensified, to the point that even the air seemed to transform into blazing plasma, threatening to completely melt him.

Endless light and heat, mixed with destructive power, continuously triggered wave after wave of explosions, trying to blast him away.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "As expected of the power of the Void Refinement level. Even if an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator can hold out for a while, they will only be able to retreat in the long run."

Meanwhile, the many Nascent Soul cultivators behind him shook their heads as they watched Zhang Yu's clothes turn to ashes and his protective energy rapidly depleted under intense wear and tear.

Someone in the spirit world sent a message lamenting, "They can't even get close, how can they suppress the corpse?"

"Vice President Zhang is probably not going to make it. Let's prepare to help him."

"Has he only been at the Nascent Soul stage for less than a year? And he dares to attempt to become a corpse at the Void Refinement stage? He's still too young..."

Tu Mu frowned slightly, pondering how he should slack off if Zhang Yu continued to push them into battle...

But the next moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out, followed by an earth-shattering aura coming from the front.

Meanwhile, inside the Immortal's Cave, Bai Zhenzhen seemed to sense something and thought to herself, "It has begun."

Within Zhang Yu's body, the True Spirit Root, which he had borrowed from Bai Zhenzhen before the battle, suddenly merged with the Feather Spirit Root, entering a state of fusion.

Tu Mu and the other Nascent Soul cultivators initially believed that the burst of power originated from the World-Forging Furnace, but they soon realized they were wrong...

At this moment, the combined Yu Zhen spiritual root within Zhang Yu's body experienced an explosive increase in its power.

High School Sacred Body, Martial Arts Sacred Embryo, University Sacred Body, Civil Engineering Sacred Body, Martial Arts Sacred Body, Everlasting Qi Flow, Golden Core Sacred Body, Boundless Magic Power, Nascent Soul Sacred Body, Divine Transformation Dao Body...

No need to switch chain diagrams; from high school until now... all the chain diagram sets that Zhang Yu has learned are now operating at 100% capacity.

More than half of the light and heat were directly absorbed by Yu Zhen's spiritual root and transformed into the power to heal his physical body.

Zhang Yu took a step forward, and the rising momentum seemed to stimulate the Forging Furnace in front of him.

A blazing white light, mixed with magical flames, rushed towards them, causing the earth to tremble violently, rock layers to collapse, and the oppressive force forcing many Nascent Soul cultivators to retreat repeatedly.

But amidst the violent explosion, Zhang Yu, who was engulfed by the white light... reappeared in the next moment, still taking steps forward, continuing to advance towards the Forging Furnace.

With the support of the Immortal Cave Heaven and the Feather True Spirit Root, Zhang Yu, who had entered the Overlord Body state, seemed invincible against any force that could defeat him, unless his bones were crushed to ashes or his body was completely shattered.

"Truly impressive."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, if he had health and mana in front of him, he would probably see that under the attack of the Forging Furnace and his own power resisting, absorbing, transforming and recovering, his health and mana were like a roller coaster, dropping and rising wildly again and again.

"Remember, don't come over without my orders. Let me wear him down first."

Upon seeing the message from Zhang Yu, Tu Mu was slightly taken aback: "The leader is going to take on a wave of enemies all by himself?"

He looked up at the Forge Furnace, whose power output was steadily increasing under Zhang Yu's stimulation, as if he were looking at a power plant.

Tu Mu and the other Nascent Soul cultivators present were somewhat bewildered: "Consuming this thing?"
