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

Chapter 848 True Heroes Are Revealed Amidst Tumultuous Times (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Xiao Yunhe, the chairman of the management committee, looked at Su Lingyou in front of him but did not make a move against her.

After all, even if there are problems with the old cemetery now, it is mainly Zhang Yu and Su Lingyou's responsibility.

As a fellow cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, if he were to fight Su Lingyou, the battle might be so fierce that it would cause the heavens and earth to collapse, resulting in even greater losses.

Moreover, in Xiao Yunhe's view, using one's own assets and power to fight for the safety of the small world and the lives of all living beings is simply putting the cart before the horse.

“I’m worth much more than those beasts of burden.”

However, Xiao Yunhe was not without options. He saw the spiritual realm information flashing before his eyes, and he had already sent a request for help to the righteous gods present.

"All the righteous gods of the Heavenly Court, please stop Zhang Yu immediately, lest the collapse of the heavens be exacerbated and the future lives of the people in the lesser realms be utterly destroyed."

However, the next moment, the replies from the gods disappointed Xiao Yunhe.

“Vice President Zhang is currently exercising his powers legally and in accordance with regulations. Repairing the spatial structure is his responsibility, and we have no right to stop him.”

"As for your internal disputes, you can resolve them yourselves."

Seeing this, Xiao Yunhe cursed inwardly: "A bunch of non-stick pans, utterly lacking in responsibility! They're unworthy of being called righteous gods!"

Just then, under the influence of the surging gravitational pull of the Earthly Fiend, the cracks in the sky began to narrow slightly, even showing signs of healing.

Seeing this, Vice President Xie Lanyin frowned: "If he really manages to fix it, then all my preparations, my loans, my investments... won't all have been for nothing?"

As the cracks continued to close, Xie Lanyin felt a surge of murderous intent: "Disorder! This bastard has completely ruined our grand plan to save the market!"

For Xie Lanyin, whether Zhang Yu succeeds in repairing the heavens or triggers a second collapse that accelerates the destruction of the small world, it will only result in her losing money, the only difference being how much.

What frightened her even more was the collapse of the heavens, Lu Hengzhang, and her relationship with him.

If the collapse of the heavens is prevented and the small realm does not collapse, who knows how much evidence will be left behind? What if they find Lu Hengzhang and her...?
Xie Lan wanted to intervene, but looking at Su Lingyou in front of her, the other party was like an insurmountable mountain blocking her way, making her unable to move.

The difference in their cultivation levels was already significant enough, and the fact that the opponent brought their physical body instead of just their primordial spirit made the power that Su Lingyou could unleash even more terrifying.

Xie Lanyin couldn't help but look at Xiao Yunhe: "President! Make a move!"

Seeing Xiao Yunhe's motionless appearance, Xie Lanyin had a sudden realization, followed by a burst of anger in her heart: "You don't care about repairing the spatial rift, you don't even get involved in the death and retreat, you dump everything on your subordinates, you shout the loudest when it comes to calculating profits, but you have no sense of responsibility at the crucial moment, this beast is truly unworthy of being the chairman of the management committee!"

Just as Su Lingyou and the others were facing off, a figure suddenly soared into the sky from the queue in front of the Old Graveyard Teleportation Station, flying towards Zhang Yu's location. It was Bai Zhenzhen.

"You guys go first, I'll go and lend Yu Zi a hand."

After leaving a message for Wen Wuyai, Ciji, and the others, Bai Zhenzhen accelerated and disappeared into the horizon.

At the same time, a message was also sent to Bai Zhenzhen. It came from her superior, Xie Xue, the vice president in charge of the Safety Supervision Bureau.

Although he shares the same surname as Xie Lanyin, he is not from the White Bone Sect, but from the Netherworld Palace. He is in charge of the laws governing intentional harm and once ambushed Zhang Yu in the secret realm. He is also one of the vice presidents who supported the "retreat at the cost of death" this time.

Xie Xue: "Bai Zhenzhen, what are you doing?! Get back here right now!"

Seeing that Bai Zhenzhen ignored him, Xie Xue continued to send messages, but there was still no response.

As a subordinate, Xie Xue's first reaction to the other party's failure to reply to his superior's messages was not anger, but disbelief.

"This is outrageous! This is truly outrageous! These bastards who climbed up from the lower realms..."

On the other side, Bai Zhenzhen ignored the other party and sent a message to Zhang Yu: "How can I help you?"

Upon seeing the message from Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Yu smiled helplessly.

He didn't want to involve Bai Zhenzhen, but he knew he couldn't stop her. Just as she couldn't stop him from mending the old graveyard.

Zhang Yu respected Bai Zhenzhen's choice.

Without further ado or explanation, Zhang Yu replied directly: "Stabilize the flying matter, the more the better."

Bai Zhenzhen's sword energy surged, transforming into countless threads that shot out and hurtled towards the surrounding buildings.

The buildings, which had originally had some of the Earthly Fiend's gravitational pull borrowed by Zhang Yu, appeared light and airy under the frantic wind, as if they were about to soar into the sky and scatter into nothingness.

But as Bai Zhenzhen unleashed her sword energy, the surrounding buildings were immediately stabilized.

Upon seeing the buildings stabilize in a small area through Zhang Yu's Kunlun Eyes, he immediately activated his internal energy technique, increasing the extraction of the earth's shamanic energy from that area.

As a result, the increasingly powerful Earthly Fiend Gravity converged in Zhang Yu's palm, further pulling towards the spatial rift in front of him.

In particular, with the help of the Kunlun Eye and the Calculation Pool, Zhang Yu's exertion became more precise.

The nine sets of techniques of "Overturning Kunlun" complement each other, making it as easy for Zhang Yu to interfere with the material world as if he were manipulating a sand table after he activated the Earthly Fiend Gravity.

The effect of the chain diagram "[Reversing Kunlun]" is also constantly taking effect.

The first layer of effect enhances the Seven Absolutes of Earth and Wood's ability to destroy and alter the environment. Combined with the mutual reinforcement of the nine major techniques, such as "Pulling Kunlun and Turning the Heavens," it creates a superimposed and reinforcing effect.

The second layer allows the gravitational changes triggered by Zhang Yu to be maintained for a long time, and the duration increases with the input of magical power.

In addition, Zhang Yu's 32 clones were simultaneously channeling their power, and his subordinates, the [Shangyang Huangshen], were suppressing the four directions and providing more Earthly Fiend attraction.

All of this gave Zhang Yu the possibility of mending the spatial rift.

At the same time, just as Bai Zhenzhen made her move, Ciji and Lao Gao also soared into the sky and rushed over.

Old Gao analyzed, "Zhang Yu combined the 'Heaven-Shattering Kunlun Overturning Divine Power' and the 'Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power' to borrow the earthly evil forces from various places in the old graveyard, and then used 'Kunlun in the Palm' to interfere with space, ultimately mending the spatial rift..."

Magnet sighed, "What a troublesome guy. Did he even consider that things might get damaged in the process? Even if we save the old graveyard, we'll still have to pay compensation later. Even if it's just a few streets that are damaged, I'm afraid selling both of us wouldn't be enough to cover his losses."

Listening to Lao Gao's analysis, Ciji said impatiently, "What kind of analysis are you giving me? The technique he recently mastered... do you know it? Just tell me how we can help him."

Old Gao gave a wry smile. He didn't know the combined effects of the [Reversing Kunlun] series of techniques, nor did he know the effects of the Chain Technique Diagram, let alone the underlying principles.

However, his years of cultivation experience have given Lao Gao a far greater understanding of the Earthly Fiends' attraction than his peers.

He explained, "Although I don't know the specific principles or how he used these techniques to achieve this, the way to help him is very simple."

"Do your best to stabilize all the materials in the old cemetery."

"Whether it's the buildings or the equipment, once they're stabilized, Zhang Yu can use the Earthly Fiend Gravity even more recklessly..."

As he spoke, Lao Gao made his move. With the full power of the "Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power", streams of earthly gravitational force erupted from his body, forcibly stabilizing the surrounding buildings and streets that had become agitated due to weightlessness.

The other magnetic pole also made its move, opening its mouth and unleashing seven [Shangyang Huangshen] roars forth, transforming into a net of fire that enveloped the weightless area.

These seven [Shangyang Huangshen] were all modified by Ciji while he was working with Zhang Yu to modify the [Tianri Huangshen] and the production line. He also modified his own original [Tianri Huangshen].

With the successive moves by Magnet and Lao Gao, the weight of the old graveyard in Zhang Yu's hands also became heavier.

At the same time, Yu Xinghan, Ye Xingli, Feng Tingting, Shi Huaiyu, Yan Qianji, Wen Wuyai, and Yin Quan Shenjun also made their moves one after another.

Yu Xinghan: "How can a subordinate leave before his superior?"

Ye Xingli: "Junior brother, we're here to lend you a hand."

Shi Huaiyu: "Hahahaha, going all in is a kind of wisdom."

Feng Tingting thought to herself, "Senior, without you... if we stay in the sect, we'll just be treated as expendable resources. Only by staying by your side can we outsourced workers be treated like human beings."

Feeling the increasing weight in his palm, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "These guys...didn't we tell them to leave first?"

The help from his companions not only increased the weight in Zhang Yu's hands, but also made him feel an even greater sense of responsibility.

Zhang Yu understood that with his companions taking action and staying behind, he couldn't allow the old graveyard to collapse like this.

Just then, Zhang Yu unexpectedly discovered that someone had rushed into the old graveyard to stabilize everything for him.

"Tu Mu?"

As the director of the Construction Bureau, Tu Mu had already completed his evacuation, but he had been paying attention to the situation of the old cemetery.

When he saw Zhang Yu suddenly make his move, it was as if a thunderclap flashed through his mind.

"The leader went first again?"

At this moment, Tu Mu seemed to recall Zhang Yu's repeated frontline battles against the Void Refining Corpse Pieces over the past few days.

"My leader always takes the lead and reaps huge rewards and benefits. His keen insight and decisive action are unparalleled in my life..."

What impressed Tu Mu even more was that during the numerous battles, both large and small, that Zhang Yu fought alongside, none of the Nascent Soul cultivators were injured, except for Zhang Yu himself.

Even among many of his subordinates, Zhang Yu has earned the nickname "Invincible," not because he never gets hurt, but because working under him guarantees no workplace injuries.

Whenever he thought of this, Tu Mu sighed inwardly: "My leader... must have a deep grudge against the medical lineage. Not only does he never go to a clinic for any treatment, but he also jumps out of his hospital bed when he is on the verge of death, and even his subordinates protect him from getting hurt."

With the addition of Bai Zhenzhen, Ciji, and others, Tu Mu's confidence grew even stronger as he saw the signs of the spatial rift closing and healing becoming increasingly apparent.

"Looks like it's really going to work out?!"

"That's true. Otherwise, why would I, as a leader, let all my close associates take the lead?"

"And he didn't even call us before he started. Does that mean he can handle it all by himself? He doesn't want to share the credit with us?"

With his thoughts racing, Tu Mu rushed back into the old graveyard almost without much hesitation.

"Vice President Zhang, I'm here to help you repair the Heavenly Rift!"

As Tu Mu made his move, the other Nascent Soul cultivators under Zhang Yu's command arrived one after another. Following the example of Bai Zhenzhen and Ciji, they began to stabilize the matter in the old graveyard so that Zhang Yu could borrow more weight.

The actions of these Nascent Soul cultivators immediately prompted their subordinate sect affairs officers to take action, which in turn prompted their outsourced cultivators to take action.

With Zhang Yu's group taking action and the cracks in the sky closing, it inspired even more cultivators from other departments to join the fight.

Like streams gradually converging into a surging tsunami, unleashing earth-shattering power, Xie Lanyin watched this scene with growing anxiety. "They've rebelled! They've all rebelled!!"

Xie Lan immediately issued a notice: "Stop it, everyone!"

Xie Lanyin's projection appeared before countless cultivators, and he shouted, "Everyone, immediately cease all movement and return to your original positions. Do not interfere with the rescue plan."

"What you are doing now will only exacerbate the collapse of the heavens and lead you to your own demise!"

Seeing that most people hadn't stopped, Xie Lanyin angrily shouted, "Don't you all want to die peacefully?"

Xie Lan quickly sent a message to Xiao Yunhe, hoping that the chairman would issue a notice to stop everyone.

Xiao Yunhe did not respond. He knew in his heart that the lower cultivators had been fooled so many times in one day that they would not be able to be fooled again in a short time.

and……

"If Zhang Yu can really save the old cemetery, it will be thanks to my command."

"After all, the lower-level cultivator's success is due to the upper-level cultivator's excellent guidance, and the lower-level cultivator's mistakes are his own fault. Regardless of Zhang Yu's success or failure, I will not lose out."

Moreover, unlike Xie Lanyin, Xiao Yunhe didn't go all in on a "death-and-retreat" gamble, so he wouldn't suffer much financial loss regardless of success or failure.

On the other side, observing these scenes as well, and feeling the increasing weight on his body, Zhang Yu was also taken aback.

This time, he really didn't intend to call for backup; he only planned to risk everything to resolve the matter himself.

After all, in terms of public opinion, he is no match for Xiao Yunhe and Xie Lanyin. If he were to issue an order or call to action in advance, he would inevitably be stopped, or even embroiled in a war of words and a media storm.

But at this moment, Zhang Yu discovered...

Wild Ox said, "Even without giving orders or calling for support, people will start to follow you without you even realizing it, and you are gaining more and more influence."

Zhan Xian also said, "This is the power of action. Our actions all along have surpassed the thousands of words of Xiao Yunhe and Xie Lanyin!"

Zhang Yu took a deep breath: "Then we absolutely cannot lose!"

……

With a deafening roar, the spatial rift that had torn the sky apart like a scar, seemingly about to rip the entire old graveyard, had receded by nearly half after being continuously mended.

Seeing this scene, countless cultivators remaining in the old graveyard cried out in joy, and many left various messages in the spirit world.
"It's done! I survived! No need to wait in line to become a soul cultivator!"

"Vice President Zhang turned the tide!"

"How magnificent! The legacy of the immortals! How magnificent! The successors of the immortals!"

"A savior's achievement! I think Vice President Zhang should be the chairman of the management committee!"

Feng Tingting: "I also support Zhang Shenjun as president!"

But just as the spatial rift was gradually receding to about a third of its original size, even more rifts suddenly burst forth in other parts of the sky.

The second course... the third course...

Everyone stared in shock at the spatial rifts, watching the destructive spatial currents surge forth from them, ravaging everything in their path.

Lu Hengzhang watched all of this coldly from beginning to end, thinking to himself, "Hmph, this time the collapse of the heavens was calculated by the highest-level, highly intelligent artifact spirit through the spatial model of the ancient graveyard..."

In Lu Hengzhang's view, if the entire old cemetery were considered as a water pipe, then this water pipe would have countless weak points.

Even if you forcibly plug one crack, it will only increase the pressure in other areas, leading to more cracks appearing.

"Without the guidance of a highly intelligent spirit model, any rescue operation is doomed to failure, which in turn... triggers a secondary cataclysm, causing the entire ancient graveyard to collapse even faster."

Looking at the figure in the sky, Lu Hengzhang sneered: "The inheritance of immortals is indeed powerful. I never thought that you, you beast, could repair the spatial rift to such an extent."

"But in the end, it only made things worse and led to their own demise."

As more spatial rifts appeared, many powerful figures sensed that the second wave of cataclysm was about to arrive.

Xiao Yunhe sighed, "With the second cataclysm, the entire old graveyard will collapse at an even faster pace, and the original rescue plan, which involved sacrificing lives for relief, will be too late."

He looked at Su Lingyou and said, "Su Lingyou, I will report this matter to higher authorities. Zhang Yu cannot bear the heavy losses of the old graveyard alone, and you, Su Lingyou, will not escape either."

At the same time, with the triggering of the second cataclysmic event, despair appeared on the faces of countless cultivators.

"It's over, it's over, we're doomed, and we won't die from the soul cultivators either! It's completely over!"

"Zhang Yu is such a useless piece of trash. Does he even know how to mend the rift in the sky? If he can't even do that, what's the point of him even trying!"

"I told you long ago to listen to the management committee, but you wouldn't listen! Now everything is over, are you satisfied now!"

On the other side, Zhang Yu looked at the cracks all over the sky, but calmly activated the Cave Heaven Manifestation.

In his view, since the largest spatial rift had been healed, the smaller cracks could be repaired in another way.

Boom! The Earthly Fiend Gravity erupted in full force, halting the expansion of the cracks before them.

At the same time, Zhang Yu pointed a finger, and a refining corpse transformed into a living stake, carrying the bridge of the cave, and pierced the spatial rift in front of them like a steel needle.

The life-formed, ethereal corpse parts...were endowed with unparalleled strength.

The bridge to the grotto-heaven carried by the refined corpse fragments has drawn upon the power of the immortal grotto-heaven.

At this moment, Zhang Yu first used the Earthly Fiend Gravity to press down the crack, and then... as if using the Refined Void Corpse and the Cave Heaven Bridge as sewing needles, and the Immortal Cave Heaven as a piece of cloth, he forcibly began to stitch up the spatial crack.

Watching the Void Refinement Corpse Parts being thrown out one by one, Fu Ji lamented, "What a tragedy! All those Void Refinement Corpse Parts I collected with such difficulty, and you're just using them to save people for free!"

"Zhang Yu, you spendthrift! You not only inherited Ying Xintian's legacy, but you also adopted his wasteful mindset!"

As each refined Void Corpse Part was consumed, the spatial rifts in the sky became fewer and fewer.

However, the spatial turbulence gushing out from the remaining spatial rifts became increasingly terrifying. Each one required Zhang Yu to consume more Void Refinement Corpse Parts and add more Divine Transformation Corpse Parts as aids.

When only one spatial rift remained, the spatial turbulence it unleashed made it difficult for Zhang Yu to approach.

However, when Zhang Yu knocked down one Void Refining Corpse Piece after another and another Cave Heaven Bridge, he saw that the Void Refining Corpse Pieces quickly exploded, unable to withstand the spatial turbulence for even a few seconds.

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened instantly, realizing that this was due to the second cataclysm, which triggered even more violent spatial turbulence and converged at this last spatial rift, unleashing unprecedented destructive power.

He quickly nailed the life-refining corpse parts down one by one, only to watch them disintegrate one by one.

Meanwhile, seeing that the last crack could not be repaired and instead expanded further, many cultivators were once again plunged into panic.

"The collapse is happening even faster and more violently! Quickly fix it!"

"What is he doing? Why did he stop?"

"This is the second cataclysmic event; it can't be stopped."

Tu Mu's heart skipped a beat: "It's going to fail? This old graveyard still can't be saved... and it's triggered an even more severe second cataclysm. Vice President Zhang is finished, and so are we..."

Xiao Yunhe's body shone with divine light. Seeing Su Lingyou still blocking his way, he said calmly, "Peak Master Su, aren't you going to move aside? We need to hurry up and save people in the remaining time. The Old Graveyard is about to collapse completely. We can only save as many as we can."

As Su Lingyou watched Zhang Yu repair the damage time and time again, yet still unable to stop the second collapse of the heavens, a sense of worry arose in her heart: "Is it still not working?"

Xie Lanyin on the other side breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Thank goodness we weren't saved."

But thinking that most of the people remaining in the old graveyard probably wouldn't have time to become soul cultivators, and that his plan to acquire soul cultivators, which involved risking his life to escape, had been completely disrupted and his profits greatly lost, Xie Lanyin felt a surge of resentment.

"Keep pushing the price down! Those who just helped Zhang Yu, get them to the lowest possible price!"

At the same time, seeing that most of the Void Refinement Corpse parts had already collapsed, Fu Ji shouted in Zhang Yu's mind, "Zhang Yu! It's time to stop."

"The second cataclysmic event is irreversible."

But seeing Zhang Yu's unwavering stance, Fu Ji felt a chill run down her spine, a bad premonition creeping over her.

"What are you trying to do? You're not planning to use the Immortal's Grotto to block it, are you? Or are you going to use your own physical body? Are you crazy?"

"What if the immortal grotto is damaged? What if the physical body is gone?"

Fukuhime cried out, "We can't take any more risks!"

At this moment, Zhang Yu also felt extremely hesitant and conflicted.

At that moment, faced with the risk of huge losses, Zhang Yu fell into deep hesitation.

"Brother Dao..." Zhang Yu thought of Ying Xintian. When he was about to have to make a huge sacrifice, he admired Ying Xintian even more for giving up all his assets.

Wild Ox said calmly, "When a person only has one hundred immortal coins, it is easy for him to gamble everything. But if he has tens of millions or hundreds of millions of assets, it is extremely difficult to gamble everything."

Zhan Xian said, "Only in turbulent times can true heroes emerge! Zhang Yu! Make your move!"

Kao Zong's clone shouted, "The time has come to serve the Wanfa Sect faithfully!"

Just as Zhang Yu's mind was churning with thoughts, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind in an unstoppable, undefendable, and unpredictable manner.

"continue."

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. Without needing explanation or guessing, he could already sense that the intent represented by this voice was so supreme and powerful that it surpassed the sum of all the people and things he had encountered since birth.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you waiting for me?"

"After this is accomplished, I will give you an unprecedented reward."
