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

Chapter 847 Zhang Yu! What are you doing?!

Hearing the giant corpse's words, Zhang Yu was shocked and said, "So... the Immortal Emperor will intervene? He will stop the collapse of the ancient graveyard?"

The giant corpse said calmly, "Whether there will be any action, and what kind of action, is hard to say."

"After all, what I said was just my guess about the Immortal Emperor of Myriad Laws."

"Even if the Immortal Emperor of Ten Thousand Laws really does not want to see the old graveyard and the intensity of the struggle for the Dao increase, he may not necessarily take action."

"After all, there is more than one Immortal Emperor."

"The Immortal Emperor of Myriad Laws is the greatest immortal talent of all time. He is probably already ranked among the top three among the Ten Immortal Emperors. His advantage will only grow stronger in the future."

"Stability is very important to him."

"But for some Immortal Emperors, the increasingly fierce struggle for the Dao may... give them a greater chance to ascend and seize the Dao lineage."

The giant corpse chuckled and said, "After all, 10 Immortal Emperors... are still too many in the eyes of many people."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ji said in Zhang Yu's mind, "So complicated? It means that the struggle between the spirit of the artifact and the soul cultivator seems to involve a battle between two major lineages, but in a higher dimension, it is related to the struggle between the Immortal Emperors?"

Zhan Xian said, "The Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor wants to maintain stability, preserve his advantage, and control the intensity of the Dao struggle. However, some Immortal Emperors are deliberately pushing the intensity of the Dao struggle, seeking opportunities to advance further."

Just as Zhang Yu's mind was racing, the giant corpse beside him looked over and said, "Young friend, do you want to save the Old Graveyard?"

Zhang Yu said, "I don't want all my hard work these past few days to be in vain, nor do I want to see the entire small world suffer."

The giant corpse commented, "Whether for personal or public reasons, it's perfectly normal for you to want to save the old graveyard."

"If you're not willing to take action now that this has happened to you, and you haven't shown the responsibility required of reformers, then you're not a qualified tool. The support from the immortal veins above you will be greatly weakened in the future."

"Moreover... since Senior Ying Xintian chose you as his successor, I believe that as you grow stronger with your own power, you will definitely not be someone who only knows how to protect yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "If I were just an outsourced cultivator or an ordinary sect affairs officer, I probably wouldn't have any other thoughts besides saving my life."

"But I am now the holder of the Immortal's Legacy, and also the vice president of the Management Committee... I..."

Zhang Yu looked at his palm, feeling the terrifying power surging within, and thought to himself, "I can make more choices."

At this moment, the image of Dao Qiankun flashed through Zhang Yu's mind, and he sighed inwardly, "Brother Dao, without realizing it, I have also gained more and more confidence to be willful."

"Zhang Yu, are we really going to save the old cemetery?" Fu Ji asked worriedly. "Won't it be too dangerous?"

Zhanxian said, "When has the path to immortality ever been without danger? The higher you climb, the more perilous and stressful it becomes. If you don't want to face danger or bear pressure, then don't walk the path to immortality."

Fu Ji said, "This is a cataclysmic disaster. So many Void Refinement cultivators, even those undergoing Tribulation, haven't even tried. Should we go? In that case... not only will we be risking our lives, but we might not even be able to save them. Even if we do manage to save them, we might get caught up in a higher-level struggle..."

Zhan Xian said decisively, "We are no longer the students we used to be, nor are we just low-level sect affairs officers. Now that we are in this position, every step forward we want to take inevitably involves the risk of failure!"

"If we choose to run away this time, the immortal lineage introduced by our master will no longer value us, and our accounts and our accumulation in the Immortal Cave Heaven will probably be confiscated one by one."

On the other side, the usually taciturn Wild Ox spoke up: "It's all about saving the world with a single thought... If you have the ability but choose to give it up, climbing up in the future won't change Kunxu. We're not just climbing up, but also trying to retain our original intentions while climbing up..."

Just then, the avatar of the Exam Master suddenly spoke up: "Let's see how it goes, mend the rift in the sky! I also support saving the old graveyard. This is not only about protecting the sect's assets, but also a moment to demonstrate our loyalty to the Immortal Emperor of Myriad Laws!"

Fuki sighed. Although she hadn't heard Zhang Yu's own statement, she had already sensed his thoughts.

At this moment, she was speechless: "Sigh, ever since I started following that kid Zhang Yu, I haven't had a single peaceful day. Climbing up in Kunxu... it's really difficult."

On the other side, seemingly sensing the change in Zhang Yu's aura, or perhaps sensing the determination in Zhang Yu's heart, the giant corpse said, "It seems you have made up your mind."

Seemingly very interested in Zhang Yu's choice and decision, the giant corpse asked, "Tell me, what do you plan to do?"

So Zhang Yu explained his plan and asked, "Senior, what do you think?"

The giant corpse did not comment on Zhang Yu's specific plan, but said indifferently: "Although this small world of the old graveyard has been repeatedly affected by the maze, it is still deeply rooted and is inherently unbreakable."

"The sudden collapse must have been orchestrated by someone in secret, and anyone who does so will inevitably leave traces..."

Zhang Yu began studying spatial immortal techniques during his university years, and has now mastered the power of the cave heaven for quite some time. In particular, he has been working on restoring the disordered structure of the maze, and he is very knowledgeable about spatial techniques and various aspects of the small world.

Upon hearing what the giant corpse said, his eyes lit up: "Such a rapid and severe spatial collapse must have left many traces at the source of the spatial rift. Perhaps we can find evidence of the innate lineage and the destruction of the small world by the artifact spirit sect inside."

Zhang Yu understood that if he could obtain such evidence, it would be a crucial bargaining chip in the future when he wanted to settle scores with the Spirit Weapon Sect.

The giant corpse then added, "You can also contact Su Lingyou."

"Su Lingyou?" A cool and quiet girl image appeared in Zhang Yu's mind.

The other party was a level 7 sect affairs officer of the Heavenly Demon Sect, a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Moreover, he was the high-ranking cultivator who directly clashed with him during the last Tai Zhen Immortal Clan incident, meaning they had a long-standing feud.

The giant corpse said, "There are no eternal enemies in this world. As long as our goals align and our interests are aligned, we can use former mortal enemies or adversaries when necessary."

"The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor wants to stop the Artifact Spirit lineage, and Su Lingyou has come on his orders. Now she is on your side and can lend you a hand..."

……

Create an internal environment.

Tu Mu's projection appeared before the numerous outsourced cultivators.

The head of the cemetery was reassuring everyone: "Don't worry about your work, don't believe or spread rumors. The old cemetery is perfectly safe. I and other leaders will be back soon, and we'll be checking on your work then..."

After disconnecting and turning around, Tu Mu looked at the large amount of assets gathered together before him, quickly inspected them, and communicated with his trusted soul cultivators.

"Is everything here?"

"Check again, make sure nothing is left behind..."

As beams of divine light shot into the sky, Tu Mu, carrying all his possessions from the Old Graveyard, shot towards the teleportation portal, joining the massive departing group.

Looking at the long queue in front of him, Tu Mu sighed inwardly, "Fortunately... I am valuable enough to the sect. I won't be left behind like those lowly animals."

Meanwhile, similar scenes are taking place in various areas of the former cemetery.

More and more people are noticing that leaders of various units and departments, from high-ranking to low-ranking, are disappearing, as if they are leaving their old graveyard one after another.

Those with a stronger sense of religious belief might leave a primordial spirit to remotely oversee things through the spirit world, while some leaders simply become unreachable.

As Feng Tingting watched her superiors delete her from their friend lists, a sense of unease rose within her.

"What exactly happened?"

"We should be receiving registered mad corpses every day, but there are far fewer today."

She had a hunch that these disappearing cultivators were hiding something together.

But no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find any useful information.

"Information about the entire old cemetery... may have been put under surveillance. Perhaps I should try to find out what's happening outside the old cemetery."

On the other side, Shi Huaiyu also sensed that something was wrong.

Having experienced countless stock and cryptocurrency crashes, she had developed the sensitivity of a seasoned investor and sensed the calm before the storm.

Upon hearing Feng Tingting's words, Shi Huaiyu nodded repeatedly and said, "Something is definitely not right! There's a constant stream of good news about the stocks related to the old cemetery, but at the same time, someone is continuously selling off large quantities of shares! The media is bullish, but funds are running away... This is a signal that the big players are withdrawing and retail investors are taking over!"

Feng Tingting's gaze suddenly sharpened as she noticed some news from outside the old cemetery.

"Is a massive asset evacuation taking place at the former cemetery? Will all the leaders leave?"

……

Deep within the spirit world.

"President, the news is getting out of control, especially the rumors circulating outside the old cemetery."

Looking at the reports from his subordinates, Xiao Yunhe remained calm and composed, because he had anticipated this.

After all, the area he could block information from was limited to the old cemetery.

As more and more people left the old cemetery, the news gradually spread outside, and he couldn't control it anymore.

As for completely sealing off the spirit realm of the old graveyard, he has no authority to do so, nor will he. After all, many cultivators are still remotely operating the old graveyard through the spirit realm, and many things in the future will require remote support from the spirit realm.

Therefore, Xiao Yunhe knew that he couldn't claim "nothing happened" forever, and he didn't intend to keep covering it up forever.

So, Xiao Yunhe said calmly, "Let's move on to the next step..."

A moment later, a notification popped up in front of countless cultivators in the old graveyard.

Xiao Yunhe, speaking calmly and composedly, said in the notification: "There have been some minor incidents, but there is no need to worry or take any action."

"There are some minor issues with the spatial structure in the maze area. The management committee is working on a solution. The relevant areas have been temporarily sealed off. Everything is under control."

"No unit may act without authorization. All work must be completed smoothly today. Any absenteeism will be dealt with severely..."

……

Outside the teleportation station, supplies were piled up in dense clusters, stretching the ranks for thousands of meters.

Bai Zhenzhen stood in the group, glancing towards the direction of the maze from time to time.

As one of the representatives of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the director of the Safety Supervision Bureau, Bai Zhenzhen was also assigned to the evacuation team early on.

She didn't have much stuff, so she retreated quickly and should have left the old cemetery long ago.

But at this moment, she was still waiting in front of the portal, waiting for Zhang Yu.

Wen Wuyai, who was standing nearby, advised, "Azhen, let's go first. Staying here won't help Zhang Yu, and he'll definitely leave later anyway."

Bai Zhenzhen didn't speak. Just then, her gaze suddenly sharpened as she saw Yu Xinghan, Ye Xingli, Feng Tingting, Shi Huaiyu, Ciji, Lao Gao, and others who had just arrived from afar.

Bai Zhenzhen quickly went to greet him and asked, "Where's Zhang Yu? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Yu Xinghan said, "He told us to leave the old cemetery first. Zhenzhen... do you know what exactly happened?"

The magnetic pole, standing nearby, also asked, "Is there some crisis at the old graveyard?"

Shi Huaiyu asked, "Is it a stock market crash? Or a financial tsunami?"

After pondering for a moment, Bai Zhenzhen sent a message to everyone present.

Everyone was startled when they saw the message from Bai Zhenzhen.

"The sky is falling! The entire region is being destroyed and flooded?" Old Gao asked, "What about Zhang Yu? He told us to leave first, but isn't he leaving?"

Bai Zhenzhen explained, "He is in charge of this area in the management committee, so he may not be able to leave until later."

Magnet said, "Let's line up and evacuate first. Don't hold him back or distract the child while he's working."

Old Gao sighed and silently joined the queue.

As the group moved forward, Lao Gao and the others got closer and closer to the spatial gate.

During this time, rumors spread more and more in the spirit world, and more cultivators also discovered various intelligence through the spirit world outside the old graveyard.

Watching all this silently, Xiao Yunhe knew it was time to enter the third stage.

This time, however, he didn't personally intervene. Instead, he approached Xie Lanyin: "It's your turn, Vice President Xie. Tell them..."

As the notification flashed, Xie Lanyin's spirit projection appeared before countless people.

She then said, "Fellow cultivators of the Old Graveyard, we have confirmed the spatial malfunction of the labyrinth."

"Although we cannot repair it for the time being, we have notified all the major sects about the situation here. Everyone should trust their sects and wait patiently for their support."

After disconnecting from the spirit world, Xie Lanyin looked at the projection of President Xiao Yunhe and the projections of the other two vice presidents.

At this moment, apart from Zhang Yu, all the top leaders of the management committee were present.

Xie Lanyin asked, "Has no order been issued from above yet?"

Chairman Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly and said, "The higher-ups, like us, also feel that we should take some action, but they can't do anything about it."

Xie Lanyin laughed as well: "It seems that the higher-ups have reached a consensus, so we can rest assured now."

"By the way, where's Zhang Yu?"

On the other side, Vice President Xie Xue said, "Vice President Zhang is still investigating the spatial rift, but the collapse of the heavens is a foregone conclusion. He is not stupid, so we don't need to worry about him."

President Xiao Yunhe said, "Everyone, have you made arrangements for the 'retreat at the cost of your lives'?"

Xie Lanyin said, "After rushing around, we've finally managed to get everything arranged."

Xiao Yunhe exclaimed, "Vice President Xie is indeed a pillar of the sect. Although the entire realm has been destroyed, as long as assets can be preserved and the common people can be saved, then everything is negotiable."

"This matter must be done well. Killing one person is saving one person, and killing one less person is a sin."

Xie Lanyin assured, "I have taken out a large loan of immortal coins specifically for this acquisition of soul cultivators to ensure sufficient funds."

“For every penny you give, one person will die. I guarantee not a single one will be spared. If even one person dies less, I will pay with my life.”

Just then, a deafening roar echoed throughout the entire old graveyard. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, a massive spatial rift pierced through the heavens and earth, as if it were about to tear the entire small world in two.

The sky... has cracked open!

Seeing this, Xiao Yunhe knew that the matter could no longer be concealed, but he had a knowing smile on his face as he said to the vice presidents around him, "Everyone, this is the final stage."

……

As the sky cracked open, countless cultivators who were still at their posts were thrown into complete panic.

"Should we leave?"

"Should you leave the company? Leave the department?"

"Can I skip work?"

Just as the many cultivators were hesitating, Xiao Yunhe's projection appeared in front of them with a serious expression.

"The spatial structure of the maze has collapsed severely. We should have done something, but it was too late. We have missed the best opportunity for rescue."

"It's all too late. The entire old graveyard will eventually collapse completely."

"Fortunately, we have successfully moved the vast majority of the sect's valuable assets away, mitigating the greatest loss from this natural disaster."

"In order to save the common people in the small world, we have joined forces with the three major sects of Heavenly Demon, Netherworld, and White Bone, and will open a green channel for soul cultivation conversion, giving priority to those who are not old, weak, sick, or disabled..."

Upon receiving Xiao Yunhe's notification, the entire old cemetery instantly descended into chaos.

Countless cultivators soared into the sky, trying to escape to the teleportation station and flee the old graveyard.

However, the three vice presidents of the management committee, all at the Refinement of Void realm, acted together, and beams of divine light descended, intercepting all the fleeing people.

Xie Lanyin shouted, "Who dares to damage sect assets? Who dares to disrupt sect order? That's a crime! Arrest them on the spot!"

On the other side, Xiao Yunhe continued speaking: "...All cultivators in the small realm, please pay attention to all your actions before you die. This will not only affect your first death, but also your future economic situation."

"If we act recklessly now... even if we die, we'll still have to pay compensation and repay debts."

With the help of cultivators at the Refinement of Void Realm and even the Tribulation Transcending Realm, the old graveyard quickly regained some order.

At the same time, various advertisements about soul cultivation transformation appeared in front of cultivators.

Upon seeing the purchase price for soul cultivators, countless cultivators were astonished.

Why are you only being given so little money?

"The price has dropped by at least 8%! This is profiteering!"

"They only gave me this little bit of money... How can I go on living if I die?"

In view of the impending mass deaths, some righteous gods began to descend in large numbers to prevent congestion in the tax payment channels during the soul cultivation transformation process.

Some people, fearing they wouldn't have time to escape, tried to commit suicide so they could become soul cultivators and be rescued first, but they were all stopped.

Xie Lanyin said calmly, "It's not that I won't let you die, but that you will die slowly and deliberately, in a planned and orderly manner. Don't worry, with me here, not one of you will be missing."

Looking at the long queue in front of her, Xie Lanyin couldn't help but marvel at the thriving soul cultivation industry and the vibrant scene of life in this area.

"To get rich, you must first experience misfortune." Xie Lanyin sighed, "Indeed, natural disasters and man-made calamities are the best time to make money."

Just then, the entire old cemetery suddenly trembled again.

Large swathes of dust suddenly rose into the air, like clouds shooting into the sky.

The air swirled violently, whipping up gusts of wind throughout the old cemetery.

The buildings trembled slightly, as if they were about to be blown into the sky by a strong wind.

At this moment, all the cultivators in the Old Graveyard felt... that they were becoming lighter, or rather, that everything in the entire Old Graveyard seemed to be becoming lighter.

At the same time, Feng Tingting suddenly pointed in the direction of the maze and said, "What's that?"

Bai Zhenzhen, Ciji, and the others had already looked over. They saw countless substances gushing out from the maze. Whether it was the earth, factories, office buildings, or everything else, they all shot into the sky like cannonballs.

Although the distance was far, Lao Gao could still sense the abnormality: "It's a change caused by the Earthly Fiend's gravity."

"It's Zhang Yu!"

At this moment, the entire old cemetery was divided into two distinct areas.

Half of it is a maze, where the earth's gravitational pull seems to have been completely erased, and countless substances, now freed from their constraints, soar into the sky like roaring black dragons.

On the other side is outside the labyrinth, where a large number of cultivators work and live. Although the earthly afflictions' gravity has not been taken away here, it has been greatly weakened, as if everything has become light and airy.

All of these vanished Earthly Fiend Gravitations converged into Zhang Yu's palm.

In that instant, Zhang Yu felt as if the weight of most of the old graveyard was held in his hands.

At the same time, the calculation pool in the Immortal Cave was operating at full capacity, and Kunlun's eyes were constantly seeing data on countless substances within the entire old graveyard.

During the time everyone was evacuating, Zhang Yu collected material data from almost the entire old graveyard and used his 32-core brain and computing pool to build a large model around it. He calculated the Earthly Fiend Gravity he borrowed from countless people and things under the operation of nine sets of [Overturning Kunlun] techniques, including the "Uprooting Kunlun and Turning the Sky Divine Power".

It took him several hours to finally complete all of this, ensuring that while he could utilize the Earthly Fiend's gravitational pull as much as possible, he could avoid causing the destruction of countless areas within the old graveyard.

"Everyone, lend me your weight... all of you."

As the nine major techniques were activated, the first two layers of the chain diagram of [Overturning Kunlun] were also activated, further amplifying Zhang Yu's influence on the entire world.

At the same time, the [Master of Hundreds of Billions of Talismans], which had not appeared for a long time, emerged from his body and began to amplify Zhang Yu's interference with the entire world.

With one step, Zhang Yu leaped towards the location of the spatial rift.

As a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, Xiao Yunhe was the first to notice this scene.

"Zhang Yu! What are you doing?!"

Xiao Yunhe could feel the Earthly Fiend Gravity, which almost symbolized the weight of most of the old graveyard, being gathered into Zhang Yu's hands.

After this attack, Xiao Yunhe was unable to predict what would happen in a short period of time.

It might be able to slow down the collapse of the sky, but it could also trigger a more terrifying and violent spatial collapse, causing things to spiral out of control.

In particular, everything has been arranged by them. All they need to do is follow the steps to save the world. It benefits both the sect and the people. How can Zhang Yu ruin it?
But just as Xiao Yunhe was about to intervene, a figure shrouded in demonic energy suddenly appeared, blocking Xiao Yunhe's and Xie Lanyin's path.

"Su Lingyou?" Looking at the other party's primordial spirit, Xiao Yunhe angrily rebuked, "Peak Master Su, what are you going to do? Are you just going to watch Zhang Yu ruin this great situation? What can a mere Nascent Soul cultivator do?"

"A great situation?" Su Lingyou said indifferently, "Killing so many people in one go, is that considered a great situation?"

Xiao Yunhe said, "When doing things for the sect, right and wrong cannot be judged by conventional reasoning."

Su Lingyou: "Hmph, no matter how sweet your words are, the fact is that so many corpse parts were wasted, which is a serious dereliction of duty on your part."

The two sides had completed a massive exchange of information in an instant. Although Xiao Yunhe did not understand why, he could feel Su Lingyou's determination to stop him.

Xiao Yunhe sighed, "Su Lingyou, if the 'retreat by death' plan fails and all living beings in the small world perish, Zhang Yu will be the greatest sinner! And you will be the second greatest sinner."

At the same time, Zhang Yu's hands collided violently with the ever-expanding spatial rift.

Under the surging gravitational force of the Earthly Fiends, space was twisted like paper. Then, to the astonishment of countless people, the spatial rift that had pierced through heaven and earth seemed to show signs of closing up.

In the distance, Lu Hengzhang watched this scene coldly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, as if he were looking at a dying beast.
