Chapter 696: Kunxu Underground 19th Layer, Nascent Soul Sacred Body (Combined 6,620 words)

Chapter 696 Kunxu Underground Level 19, Nascent Soul Saint Body (Combined 6620+)

Just as Report God was pondering, 007 sent another message, inquiring about the arrangements for these cryopreserved people on the flying boat.

Report God: Proceed according to the original plan. You must take good care of them. If even one dies, I will hold you accountable.

The trio of 007, who had just been attacking the cryopreserved people during the battle, now suddenly became their protectors.

At this moment, they were just like Di Po Zhen Jun, willing to swear an oath to protect the lives of the cryopreserved people until death.

They piloted the flying boat and merged with the other captured cryopreserved people.

Here, the cryopreserved people would participate in the training of the Righteous Alliance, join the work of exposing the Demon University, and also use the power of the Spirit Realm and Dark Spirit Realm to communicate with friends and family, encouraging them to smuggle themselves over to the Righteous Alliance.

......

Meanwhile, news of the massive attack on the Demon University swept through the Spirit Realm in an instant.

Millions of college students being plundered caused countless people to exclaim in shock, further prompting the upper echelons of the Demon University to deny it immediately, stating that absolutely not millions of college students were plundered, at most tens of thousands went missing during the war.

Regarding the matter of millions of college students being plundered, the high-level officials of the Demon University were utterly furious.

Many hoped to retaliate severely against the Righteous Alliance, seizing more things from their territory, but this was obviously not something easily achievable.

For more people, the urgent task was still to recover losses.

Even Nie Lian Shen Jun, who had always been soaking in the laboratory, had to divert a strand of thought to pay attention to this matter.

He came to the conference room in the Spirit Realm, looking at the Nascent Soul True Lords present, and said coldly, "You disappoint me. A Nascent Soul of the prestigious Demon University actually lost to a group of wild infants?"

"Do you know how much the stock price dropped because of this? How much did the coin price drop? How many losses did the various companies suffer?"

"If you do not give all shareholders a satisfactory explanation, you will all bear the burden of this matter together."

Di Po Zhen Jun was just about to speak when he heard a Nascent Soul say first, "It is not that our strength is inadequate; the force sent by the opponent this time was too strong. It was definitely a peak existence among Nascent Souls, and they have already mastered Immortal Sect techniques."

Another Nascent Soul said, "Perhaps there was even a Deity Transformation impersonating inside. If I hadn't seen the situation early, I might have suffered a fatal blow and been kidnapped to the Righteous Alliance."

"There must be Nascent Souls from other schools defecting to the Righteous Alliance!"

"What Nascent Soul? I think it is some Deity Transformation from another school fishing in troubled waters."

Hearing the words of the other Nascent Souls, Di Po Zhen Jun thought in his heart, "Damn it... each one blows harder than me, even coming up with Deity Transformations coming to snatch college students?"

Looking at the gaze sweeping towards him from Nie Lian Shen Jun, Di Po Zhen Jun hurriedly said, "Correct, the demon descendant Nascent Soul I encountered this time might be a certain big leader from Netherworld University or perhaps Tian Yao University."

Many Nascent Soul True Lords uploaded their combat recordings one after another.

Projections of scenes of battle flashed rapidly before everyone's eyes.

Among them, the scene of Zhang Yu hard-blocking a strike from Di Po Zhen Jun attracted the attention of many, after all, this scene appeared particularly special amidst the fierce battles of many Nascent Souls.

"Such a powerful demon monkey?!"

"Could this not be a monkey from Tian Yao University?"

"We should hold Tian Yao University accountable; they must have been infiltrated by the Righteous Alliance."

......

Great Void.

Space Technology Research Society.

Zhang Yu, back in the laboratory, looked as if he had just returned from a walk, showing no sign whatsoever of having experienced a fierce battle.

His eye skeleton flickered slightly, browsing the news of the Spirit Realm.

At first, all schools were reporting news of the Demon University being attacked, suffering heavy losses, and living beings being devastated.

But soon it seemed as if a mysterious power appeared, a pair of invisible giant hands pressing down on these messages one by one.

Immediately following, news about the infiltration of demon descendants from Tian Yao University began to explode in popularity.

In the next moment, a photo of a monkey demon entered Zhang Yu's eyes.

"Tian Yao High Officials Suspected of Joining Righteous Alliance? Massacre of 100,000 College Students..."

"Warning: Recently there may be scammers from the Righteous Alliance impersonating missing college students to make contact..."

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned, thinking in his heart, "When the hell did I kill 100,000 college students? Is this pinning the black pot on me, on Tian Yao University?"

Fu Ji chuckled, saying, "Tian Yao University only has one Deity Transformation; if we don't bully her, who do we bully?"

Zhang Yu watched as the heat surrounding the wanted poster for the monkey demon grew higher and higher, especially driving related topics of demon descendant discrimination, immediately causing various factions to spray each other in the Spirit Realm.

During this period, Tian Yao University issued notices several times, stating that the monkey demon had absolutely no relation to the school, suspecting someone else used some technology to impersonate, but the heat was quickly suppressed.

As for the topics originally regarding the Demon University about various cryopreserved people and college students, they were all completely submerged.

Just then, Yu Xinghan came to Zhang Yu's side and discussed the engineering problems outside.

"By the way, did you see the news?" Yu Xinghan said, "That monkey demon news, actually sneaking attacking the Demon University alone, and killing 100,000 college students, this strength is earth-shattering."

Yu Xinghan sighed, "And that video of him hard-blocking the Demon Reconstruction Technique of the opposing Nascent Soul member at full state... so amazing, truly so amazing. Did such a great demon also defect to the Righteous Alliance?"

Zhang Yu smiled faintly and said indifferently, "News cannot be believed entirely; I think this is fake news used by the Demon University to cover up the truth."

Moments later, Zhang Yu returned to his office.

His office could be better described as a cultivation room; various materials needed for cultivation were neatly arranged, and the area was much larger than his dormitory at Wanfa University.

At the same time, Zhang Yu had already logged into the Dark Spirit Realm.

And unlike the various hot topics in the Spirit Realm about demon descendants, monkey demons, and Tian Yao, the Dark Spirit Realm was full of topics about the Demon University exploiting cryopreserved people, illegally operating corpse parts, and excessively consuming the lifespan of cryopreserved people.

Various discussions, curses, spraying people... were all concentrated on the Demon University.

Even Nie Lian Shen Jun, who couldn't even be mentioned in the Spirit Realm, was vilified thoroughly in the Dark Spirit Realm, and even made into various insulting memes.

Furthermore, college students from various places left messages one after another, expressing a desire to break away from the governance scope of the Top Ten and smuggle themselves to the Righteous Alliance.

Various smuggling services arose accordingly.

Zhang Yu also discovered at this point that the Righteous Alliance had been supporting various smuggling businesses all along, relying on control of the Sky Dome to guide college students to smuggle from Level 2 to Level 3.

Having seen the conditions of both the Spirit Realm and Dark Spirit Realm successively, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart; clearly being in the same world, the focus points and discussion topics of the two places were completely different, as if they were in two different worlds.

Just then, a message from Report God arrived: Fortune God, you have a powerful subordinate.

A considerable part of an Evil God's strength is reflected through the believers under their command.

And Zhang Yu's performance this time obviously raised the strength and status of the Fortune God in the eyes of other Evil Gods.

Especially a powerful demon descendant, which inevitably made the Evil Gods imagine wildly, suspecting the Fortune God conducted deep infiltration of Tian Yao University.

Fortune God: What about the reward?

Report God: Rest assured, I keep my word.

During the exchange between the two sides, the Fortune God felt his authority within the Righteous Alliance rise rapidly; in the blink of an eye, he changed from Apprentice to Disciple, then from Disciple to Executive, and from Executive to Helmsman, rising three levels in one breath.

At the same time, a large amount of Evil Divine Power surged towards Fu Ji, absorbed madly by her.

Originally, although the Fortune God possessed the rank of a Second-Level Evil God, without enough Evil Divine Power filling, he always found it difficult to exert all his power.

Now possessing a vast ocean of Evil Divine Power filling, Fu Ji felt her majesty surge greatly; she could do more things whether in the Spirit Realm or Dark Spirit Realm.

Fu Ji said satisfied: Very good, I just like this kind of Evil God who gives rewards sufficiently promptly.

Herald God: As long as you fulfill the tasks I assign, you will find I am always generous

Herald God: Regarding Tian Yao University, do you have anything to say?

Fortune God: No comment

Seeing the other party unwilling to voluntarily reveal intelligence, the Herald God took no offense, merely smiling before replying: I and many colleagues, along with the Alliance Leader, pay close attention to you

Herald God: There is also a major event in the future I wish to invite you to participate in

Fortune God: What matter?

Herald God: Regarding the matter of detonating and splitting the fifth layer of Kunxu

Herald God: Once this matter is completed, the Heavenly Court will be delayed for at least another year

Herald God: If you perform excellently, among the hundreds of small worlds split from the fifth layer, I can authorize ten for you

Herald God: When these small worlds reorganize into the underground nineteenth layer, you will be the new great landlord, possessing the foundation of an Evil God King

To the Herald God, the temptation offered was sufficient to make any Evil God work desperately for him.

After all, financial freedom, cultivation freedom, and finally becoming a leisurely Evil God King—that was the ultimate dream of countless Evil Gods.

On the other side, Fu Ji indeed felt her spirit shaken hearing this, and subsequently felt waves of heartache after ending communication with the Herald God.

"This big pie is too delicious, but I cannot reach it... I cannot reach it."

Fu Ji knew everything the Herald God said had nothing to do with her.

Because she was kidnapped by Zhang Yu, she had only one path: rushing toward the sect alongside Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu was shocked by the information revealed in the Herald God's words just now: "Can the fifth layer be transferred below? Becoming the nineteenth layer of Kunxu?"

Fu Ji sighed: "Theoretically there is such a possibility, after all Kunxu's spatial structure is man-made; since it created what exists now, changing layer numbers... theoretically there is indeed such a possibility."

"Even as far as I know... the space of the eighteen layers below Kunxu has been silently growing, though where this growth originates is unknown..."

The topic was too distant for them; Zhang Yu and Fu Ji discussed briefly then ceased attention, instead beginning to collect intelligence. Yet Zhang Yu realized one thing: to prevent the fifth layer from detonation, the future Top Ten Universities and Righteous Alliance would inevitably launch an unprecedented great decisive battle on the fifth layer.

Busy with this and that in the Dark Spirit Realm, Zhang Yu's initial purpose was collecting intelligence regarding Void Earth from the Righteous Alliance.

Utilizing Fu Ji's authority as a Righteous Alliance helmsman, Zhang Yu arrived at the intelligence zone and immediately saw vast amounts of previously invisible data and information open to him.

"Although it does not directly display Void Earth inventory or storage location information..."

Flipping through intelligence, Zhang Yu thought secretly: "But based on battlefield intelligence, plus factory, traffic, and transaction information currently of the Righteous Alliance... gathering all sorts of clues allows one to roughly judge where Void Earth is produced and stored."

Zhang Yu understood Kunxu's Immortal Dao industry chains all have traces; many factories are interrelated upstream and downstream, strictly abiding by the most reasonable, optimal, profitable layouts.

Plus the Top Ten Universities originally possessed considerable third-layer layout intelligence, lacking only the operational situation under Righteous Alliance governance.

Zhang Yu understood he didn't even need to judge it himself; simply handing this intelligence to the Top Ten Universities, naturally there were plenty capable of making precise judgments.

"So... who should I give it to?"

Zhang Yu thought secretly: "Who currently wants to snatch the Righteous Alliance's Void Earth the most?"

From the various data and information obtained from the Righteous Alliance, Zhang Yu naturally could not submit it himself directly.

With his current status, he needed no merit from such things, which would easily cause unnecessary suspicion. Originally Zhang Yu planned using the God Spirit Root with Evil God Ritual stealth, plus the Demon Saint Ten Thousand Changes Nerve's transformation ability, to stage a Righteous Alliance intelligence leak scene in some battlefield, letting the Top Ten Universities obtain intelligence.

However, now that Fu Ji's Evil God power surged greatly, allowing her to conceal form and spread anonymous messages in the Spirit Realm, this made Zhang Yu's next task even simpler.

...

Tian Mo University.

Nielian Shenjun's gaze shifted, rows of messages floating in the eye skeleton.

"The school's complaint mailbox, someone sent intelligence regarding the Righteous Alliance?"

Nielian Shenjun knew initially such intelligence would be treated as fake news, and subordinates daring to send it here meant eighty percent it passed verification.

"It is actually the Righteous Alliance's industry chain layout? Hmm... can Void Earth be found?"

Seeing this, Nielian Shenjun's eyes flashed with a thread of war intent.

Simultaneously, other Transformation Gods of Tian Mo University and school high-levels sent him messages one after another.

Originally after the Righteous Alliance hijacked a million students, Tian Mo University's high-levels were in a fury, always desiring revenge and reclaiming losses.

And Void Earth's current insufficient production and expensive price further showed them huge profits.

Thus the entire Tian Mo University was like a huge war machine, starting to accelerate its operation.

But just as Tian Mo University prepared and tested, like a giant silently clenching a fist to store strength, news came of Tian Yao University's Cangshi Shenjun charging alone into enemy ranks.

...

Kunxu Third Layer.

Intense battlefield.

A mountain-like massive dragon shadow swept the empty sky, body laden with production lines, factories, warehouses, laboratories...

This dragon shadow was precisely Tian Yao University's Cangshi Shenjun.

Behind her several Transformation God figures pursued; both sides fought while retreating, dragon body exploding with scales and blood, yet not a single trophy fell.

"Mine... mine... all mine..."

Cangshi Shenjun fiercely bit dragon teeth, regardless of attack, unwilling to abandon trophies.

Even every drop of dragon blood she dripped transformed into demon descendants upon landing, plundering everywhere before carrying items back to the dragon body.

Baotong Shenjun chasing behind admired secretly: "No wonder she became a Transformation God; Cangshi's breeding ability is likely first among ten schools, transport skills few can match."

"To deal with such a female dragon's theft and robbery requires involving at least three of our Transformation Gods."

"And if ignoring her..."

Baotong Shenjun doubted not; given enough time, the opponent could absolutely strip the Righteous Alliance bare.

...

Zhang Yu watched news on the Spirit Realm.

First Cangshi Shenjun charged alone, then Tian Mo University led a grand army, raiding Righteous Alliance strongholds on the third layer.

The first batch of produced Big and Small Ruyi Rings were applied by Tian Mo University in combat, greatly improving war efficiency.

After Tian Yao and Tian Mo acted sequentially, other major universities mobilized, starting a great plunder targeting Kunxu's third layer.

War trends were being influenced by technology and intelligence provided by Zhang Yu.

In Zhang Yu's observation, Void Earth prices constantly dropped with the war's progress, dropped... dropped again.

The Space Technology Research Association reasonably allocated vast Void Earth for experiments.

...

In the Spirit Realm.

Ciji Shenjun's projection flashed, looking at Leiji Zhenjun, his junior brother, frowning and asking: "What matter?"

Leiji Zhenjun asked: "Research Association matters... everyone feels allocating Void Earth to Zhang Yu is too much? Does he need so much for experiments?"

Ciji Shenjun said lightly: "Zhang Yu is already Wanfa University's top youth, future leader, backed by Immortal Gate techniques; why not invest in him? Moreover, he loves the school."

For the words praising Zhang Yu from Divine Lord Magnetic Pole, Divine Lord Green Wood, and various others, True Lord Thunder Extreme had long grown accustomed to them, yet he could not help but feel in his heart that his senior sister was perhaps too doting on this disciple.

Just then, Divine Lord Magnetic Pole continued speaking: "Lei Ji, this matter was asked by you on Qing Ming's behalf, wasn't it?"

"Tell him, regarding his achievement of Deity Transformation, Zhang Yu contributed effort; let him not forget... do not be reluctant over such tiny little benefits."

"And you, already several hundred years old, still being used as a gun by others all day, I truly do not know what to say to you..."

...

On the other side, after obtaining a large supply of Void Earth, Zhang Yu once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, specifically regarding the Immortal Gate Dao Art Three Realms Ten Directions Great Void Absolute Barrier.

Zhang Yu believed that as long as he could raise this Dao Art to Level 40, he would master technology sufficient to completely alter the course of war.

And whether he wished to join a sect in the future, or exert the influence he desired upon the world, this was all crucial.

"When on Earth, perhaps like Brother Dao, uniting the middle and lower layers to overthrow the upper, then fighting all the way up... there were so-called sayings like gaining the country most righteously, which was the most kingly method to change the world."

"But Kunxu is fundamentally different..." Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: "Whether Immortal Dao or Science, both require seeking truth from facts, responding according to the timing and situation."

"In Kunxu, a realm of supreme power, where the strong may individually wield the world like a blade, to want to change the world means to climb upwards, then become the strongest of the entire system, using one's own will to change the entire system."

"Change from top to bottom, this... can be said to be Kunxu's most righteous, and also most practical... method of changing the world."

"And the weak, they cannot even explore the full picture of Kunxu, knowing nothing of who their opponents are..."

"I must join a sect, I must become stronger, richer, master more Immortal Dao techniques..."

After experiencing one thing after another, more thoughts of wanting to change the world unknowingly surged within Zhang Yu's heart.

At this moment, he gradually was no longer purely wanting to join a sect due to the pressure of the ritual.

And for Zhang Yu to want to climb upwards, naturally he needed more Immortal Dao resources, and the Spatial Technology Research Institute before him was an opportunity found once in a thousand ages.

"By leading the development of the research institute, managing astronomical funds, influencing countless industrial chains, it will surely accelerate my cultivation faster."

Of course besides Level 40 Immortal Gate Techniques, Zhang Yu also understood his own hard strength was equally important, whether basic data, levels of various techniques, magical treasures, he had far too many places needing growth.

Time constantly flowed away amidst Zhang Yu's focused cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, time had arrived at one month later.

...

Zhang Yu's gaze moved, looking at the data on the Feather Book.

Dao Heart Level 35 (52.78%), Mana 33936 Units, Physical Strength Level 35.66.

Speaking of these three basic data points, Zhang Yu knew that in less than two months since breaking through to Nascent Soul, he had already stepped into Mid-stage Nascent Soul.

And besides two mental methods originally having reached Level 40, he furthermore had ten body-refining techniques also reaching Level 40, assisting him in completing the construction of the Nascent Soul Saint Body.

Nascent Soul Saint Body

Initial - Nascent Soul Saint Body (6/6): Nascent Soul separation distance doubled, after switching Chain Law Diagram set, this layer still takes effect

Superior - Nascent Soul Saint Body (8/8): Nascent Soul support technique effects doubled, after switching Chain Law Diagram set, this layer still takes effect

Ultimate - Nascent Soul Saint Body (10/10): All Nascent Soul techniques, cultivation efficiency increased 2 times, cultivation effects increased 2 times

It was precisely because of the various bonuses of the Nascent Soul Saint Body that allowed Zhang Yu's cultivation results to continue skyrocketing.

Also Zhang Yu's Heavenly Sun Radiant God, Taihao Holy Rhythm Flying Sword, these two military-grade magical treasures, were all refined to Level 31 Nascent Soul standard.

"My experimental group lacks a Nascent Soul expert to preside, Yan Qianji and others refining magical treasures to Level 30 is the ceiling, if not for inviting True Lord String Sound to help, we couldn't reach Level 31 at all."

Zhang Yu thought inwardly: "Wait until future influence expands, still need to summon some Nascent Souls to help."

As for the Azure Water Gold Crystal Armor, Zhang Yu understood that unless Divine Lord Magnetic Pole personally spent time helping refine it, he could only wait for him to arrive; after all, the University of Ten Thousand Dharma had obtained this military-grade magical treasure too recently, so no one had researched it.

Next moment, only saw Zhang Yu hands open, an invisible barrier unfolded in his palm.

Level 21 Three Realms Ten Directions Great Void Absolute Barrier suddenly activated, generating a spatial barrier in Zhang Yu's palm.

"Three Realms Ten Directions Great Void Absolute Barrier as level rises, setting up spatial barrier range becomes larger, casting speed also becomes faster."

"But even Level 40 Three Realms Ten Directions Great Void Absolute Barrier, impossible to deploy the Sky Dome currently sealing each layer."

Pushing this Immortal Gate Technique to Level 21, Zhang Yu's brain was full of related knowledge and key points, feeling as if cultivating this technique for many years already.

He speculated in his heart: "Righteousness Alliance sealing the Sky Dome, must rely on array formations."

"Some among them probably very early started secretly cultivating this Immortal Gate Dao Art, researched relevant technologies within it."

Just then, messages from Magnetic Pole surfaced in Zhang Yu's Eye Skeleton.

Divine Lord Magnetic Pole: I have seen your latest design drawings

Divine Lord Magnetic Pole: Done very well

Over the past month, after mastering Three Realms Ten Directions Great Void Absolute Barrier and reaching Level 11, Zhang Yu respectively activated Heavenly Craft Opens Things and Spiritual Rhyme Artifact Heart's power, combining existing magical treasure drawings to create a magical treasure design.

There was a spatial warehouse combining space scaling technology.

Also further deepening spatial barrier technology, able to temporarily form a kind of spatial shield magical treasure.

And every time seeing Zhang Yu's design drawings, it made Divine Lord Magnetic Pole sigh in heart: "This boy Zhang Yu, every design gets out the things I wanted to do."

Since leading the research institute, Divine Lord Magnetic Pole also developed multiple products, there were flying boats applying space technology, and also space locks used to seal opponents.

And Zhang Yu's those design drawings, made her feel it was what she wanted to design, but didn't have time to design.

Especially in space technology development, every time could step ahead of her, bringing her large amounts of inspiration.

"Is it the influence of Immortal Gate Techniques?" Divine Lord Magnetic Pole thought inwardly: "Every time Immortal Gate Technique improves, lets him comprehend deeper more space technology."

And at this moment, Zhang Yu seeing Divine Lord Magnetic Pole sent message, couldn't help asking: Want to release it?

Divine Lord Magnetic Pole: Hmm, all prepared about enough, is time to release a few new products
