Chapter 674: Dark Spirit Realm Cultivation Technique Open Source (Thanks to 'Yi Xiao Tian Qing')

Chapter 674 Open Sourcing of Dark Spirit World Techniques (Thanks to 'Yixiao Tianqing' for the Guild Master donation)

Zhao Ruoli was a graduate of the Finance Department.

Nearly eighty years old, she had once been full of vigor and ambition.

After all, scoring excellent grades to enter Upper School, becoming a finance student, obtaining her Foundation Establishment certificate during school, and successfully securing a job in the financial industry after graduation... all these attested to her excellence.

And after joining the financial industry, she redoubled her efforts; for a full fifty years, she never took a day off, never slept a night, never worked less than an hour of overtime, and never received a raise.

But through her own hard work, she constantly sold various trash investment projects, trash stocks, and trash products to Lower School students, college students, demon descendants, and other groups, earning herself quite a bit of wealth.

She often sighed, "While eliminating low-quality populations for Kunxu, I have also completed the accumulation of wealth, achieving a win-win situation with the world."

Various social contribution awards and outstanding performance awards issued by different companies made Zhao Ruoli realize that she was indeed a successful person who made great contributions to society.

But she also had troubles.

"The oppression of Kunxu is too severe."

"Heavenly Court, Sects... they are squeezing us at every moment, squeezing us who are the cornerstones of Kunxu."

"Taking away the money we earned so hard..."

"The world shouldn't be like this..."

Although she had such thoughts, as a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, Zhao Ruoli was helpless against it.

Just when she thought life was like a road leading to a grave, visible from end to end, letting her watch herself step by step towards the cemetery, being continuously squeezed by the sects until the day of stopping work and ceasing to live, the Heaven and Earth connected...

The Kunlun Society raised the banner of resistance, led by eight Great Transformation Immortals, along with finance departments from various schools and the Righteousness Alliance formed by the Demon Sect and Evil Gods; they charged towards the sky top to reclaim everything of theirs.

Zhao Ruoli followed the main force of the Righteousness Alliance charging up to the Fifth Layer; on the way they attacked factories, seized Golden Cores, and achieved breakthrough without a license.

Stepping into the Golden Core realm made Zhao Ruoli incredibly excited.

Later, as the Righteousness Alliance open-sourced all techniques below military grade, it further made Zhao Ruoli worship the Righteousness Alliance as a deity.

When Zhao Ruoli exchanged for a military-grade technique through the Dark Spirit World, she became completely devoted to the Righteousness Alliance, feeling this was the most successful investment of her life.

And at this very moment, Zhao Ruoli was ordered to infiltrate the Second Layer to execute an important mission.

Looking at the two parties erupting in conflict not far away, Zhao Ruoli asked, "Will Zhang Yu come?"

A message appeared in Zhao Ruoli's eye socket: Referencing the last time Zhang Yu personally came to the construction site to suppress Xiangshan to resolve the conflict, it indicates there is a certain probability he might do so. They say this person takes care of his subordinates, cherishes old feelings, and has the style of ancients; let's try to see if that is true.

Zhao Ruoli knew that the one sending her messages at this moment was an Evil God, and it was precisely because of their cover that she could appear openly on the Second Layer.

And she was merely responsible for sparking conflict with Yu Xinghan, acting as bait to attract Zhang Yu.

As far as Zhao Ruoli knew, at least four Nascent Souls were hiding secretly; once Zhang Yu appeared, they would go all out to bind him, then use the power of Evil Gods to hide and send him to the Fifth Layer of Kunxu.

"Just fear he won't come," Zhao Ruoli frowned, "Then we can only detain all these people and interrogate them one by one."

Her gaze swept over Yu Xinghan, Shi Huaiyu, and others; Zhao Ruoli thought inwardly, "These people are said to be extremely close to Zhang Yu; we should be able to ask quite a few things from their mouths, perhaps helping us capture Zhang Yu."

...

Inside the University City.

Shortly after Zhang Yu sent a request for help to Zhang Pianpian, the other party sent over quite a bit of data.

Zhang Pianpian: The construction team clashing with your construction team belongs to the Violet Wisteria Construction Company.

Zhang Pianpian: The data looks fine.

Zhang Pianpian: The reason for the conflict is...

Zhang Yu looked at the intelligence where both sides claimed the other delayed their construction progress; later, the workers below argued, fought martially, and even one died; Yu Xinghan was also injured by a Golden Core True Man from the opposing side.

Everything looked seemingly ordinary, appearing especially normal in this chaotic world of today.

Zhang Pianpian sent another message: There is something strange.

Zhang Pianpian: I checked their Spirit World browsing records.

Zhang Pianpian: Very few; they seem to log into the Spirit World rarely.

Looking at the message sent by Zhang Pianpian, Fu Ji said, "There must be something wrong here; how can a normal person log into the Spirit World so little? Don't they need to acquire various information daily? Isn't this almost an instinct for Second Layer people?"

"This can only explain one thing... they may be acquiring information through other means."

Zhang Yu's eyes moved, "Are you saying?"

"Dark Spirit World!" Fu Ji said, "I suspect this bunch might be Demon Sect disciples or Evil God believers."

Fu Ji certainly didn't really have confidence saying this; she was just reminding and hoping Zhang Yu would accompany her to the Dark Spirit World once.

Since the Heaven and Earth connected and the True Gods disappeared, Fu Ji could vaguely feel the Dark Spirit World deep within the Spirit World flourishing, undergoing subtle changes as time passed.

As an Evil God, she was naturally infinitely curious about what the Dark Spirit World had been built into after these past few months.

At the same time, she hoped to leverage the power of the Dark Spirit World to increase her value in Zhang Yu's eyes, further improving her right to speak, rather than being like now, managing the company for Zhang Yu as his puppet every day, doing various miscellaneous tasks.

Besides this, naturally, there was no shortage of probing for the whereabouts of other Evil Gods.

Having finally lost various regulations, in Fu Ji's view, this was the best opportunity to hunt colleagues and become stronger.

Fu Ji continued speaking, "Under the current situation, the Dark Spirit World will inevitably be used by Evil Gods as an important channel for communication, possibly even becoming a communication tool for countless Demon Sect followers and Evil God believers like the Spirit World."

"Mastering the ability to gather intelligence from the Dark Spirit World will absolutely bring unspeakable benefits for you dealing with future situation developments."

Hearing Fu Ji's words, Zhang Yu frowned slightly and sighed, "The tree wishes to be quiet but the wind does not cease."

Although he had tried his best to avoid everything distracting him, Zhang Yu understood that when matters could not be avoided, he could only face difficulties head-on.

"Demon Sect, Evil Gods?" Zhang Yu understood that he absolutely could not abandon Yu Xinghan, Shi Huaiyu, and the rest regardless.

Whether emotionally and ideologically, or regarding the connection between these companions and himself, he was unwilling to abandon them.

"Then let us go to the Dark Spirit World."

...

Dark Spirit World.

When Zhang Yu opened his eyes again, he found the Dark Spirit World before him was vastly different from the Dark Spirit World in his memory.

First came the various advertisements rushing towards him.

"Tianmo University fully open-sourced techniques, only 0.1 Spirit Coins for a package deal!"

"The Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power Zhang Yu used in the Top Ten Leagues, only 1 Spirit Coin for guaranteed teaching and learning!"

"Annual interest rate 300%! Buy early, get rich early!"

"Hehuan University's highest secret art, Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Great Joy Ode, three-day crash course, seven-day perfection, only 3 Spirit Coins!"

Zhang Yu, looking at the last advertisement, couldn't help but pause, glancing at it several more times.

And it was just these glances that made him feel streams of strange power surging towards his sea of consciousness.

Fu Ji immediately said, "Don't look at these ads too much; they are all kinds of scams and viruses."

Saying this, Fu Ji unleashed an Evil God power, sweeping away the surging viruses clean.

At the same time, hearing this, Zhang Yu immediately turned his head away, no longer looking at those messy advertisements.

"What is this?" Zhang Yu couldn't help cursing, "Do Evil Gods cheat each other too?"

Fu Ji said, "This is a layer of protection. It seems someone from the Ten Great Universities is secretly invading the Dark Spirit Realm too, which is why this protection has appeared."

"And who told you that Evil Gods cannot deceive each other?"

Zhang Yu rolled his eyes and continued walking forward, then felt a massive amount of information surge past him.

The original conference room had long since vanished; what now stood before Zhang Yu was... a colossal city composed of countless torrents of information.

Fu Ji smiled, "Heh, these guys really did expand the Dark Spirit Realm. They want to forge it into a true Spirit Realm for all their subordinates to use."

Fu Ji's evil god power surged within her body; in the next moment, streams of information were automatically categorized and summarized by her, transforming into dense rows of options appearing before Zhang Yu.

Looking at the text above, Zhang Yu grew even more surprised.

"The Finance Department, Demon Sect, and Evil Gods forming the Righteousness Alliance?"

"Martial Arts Street, open-sourcing the Ten Great Universities, all martial arts techniques of the Thirty-Six Senior Colonels and Seventy-Two Junior Colonels..."

"Techniques below Military Grade, satisfy 100 Righteousness Points, and can be obtained for free..."

"Military Grade techniques, each requires 1000 Righteousness Points to redeem..."

"Daoist Research Institute, open-sourced Daoist manuals..."

"Magic Treasure and Dharma Skeleton Zone... redeem various magic treasure blueprints seized..."

"Library, Virus Repository, Dark Cathedral District, Mission Zone, Intelligence Bureau..."

"Is this real? In just a few months, they've developed to this point?"

Looking at all this, Zhang Yu let out a long breath in his heart, "Could this be another set of scams?"

Fu Ji shook her head, "No, it's all real. I can feel tens of thousands of people exchanging vast amounts of information here every second, learning various techniques and knowledge."

"I fear... these guys gained a large amount of knowledge belonging to the Ten Great Universities through the wars on the Fifth and Fourth Layers, then put it down here to bewitch hearts, becoming bait before the eyes of countless Demon Sect disciples and Evil God believers."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Demon Sect members and Evil God believers everywhere are resisting incessantly. These guys... are too ruthless. Open-sourcing the knowledge of all schools directly, how many people could this attract to join?"

"And once joined, once they cultivate pirated techniques and complete unlicensed breakthroughs, they will be even more forced to follow this Righteousness Alliance with their whole hearts."

Let alone ordinary people, even Zhang Yu, as the strongest undergraduate of the Ten Great Universities, felt his spirit tremble seeing technique after technique of military-grade arts from various schools.

Especially seeing the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Technique, Heavenly Demon Void Method, and Xuanming Return to Ruin Scripture—previously wielded by Kuang Tianqing in the bitter battle that nearly defeated him—caused his heart to flutter slightly as well.

"No good." Zhang Yu quickly shook his head, "I am still focusing on breaking through to Nascent Soul primarily; where do I have time to cultivate these Daoist arts?"

Suppressing the greed that had just surged in his heart, Zhang Yu became curious again, "What exactly is this Righteousness Point thing used for redeeming items?"

Fu Ji pulled up a list and said, "It's something to encourage people to do missions. Complete the various missions issued by the Evil Gods, and you can obtain this thing."

Zhang Yu scanned those mission lists, and several entries made his gaze shake.

Steal the Flying Swords from Sky Sword University's Sword Pavilion, obtain 7000 Righteousness Points

Steal the private parts of Polar Deity Lord from Ten Thousand Dharma University, obtain 10000 Righteousness Points

Bring Zhang Yu from Ten Thousand Dharma University to Kunxu Fifth Layer, obtain 30000 Righteousness Points

Fu Ji laughed, "You are more valuable than private parts."
