Chapter 705: Nascent Soul Grade Three Realms Ten Directions Great Void Absolute Barrier

Chapter 705: Soul Formation Level, Void Boundary of the Three Realms and Ten Directions

The one conversing with Bai Zhenzhen at this very moment was one of Heaven Sword's five newly ascended Soul Formation stage experts, an entity known as Lord Yufeng.

Bai Zhenzhen still recalled that prior to the great upheaval of heaven and earth, this person had already been the vice chancellor of Heaven Sword University, though his power and scope of jurisdiction had not been nearly as vast as they were today.

Back then, every time Lord Yufeng met with Bai Zhenzhen, he had always appeared amiable and kind, feeling less like a school official and more like an elder of her own family.

Yet, following the great upheaval of heaven and earth and the departure of Lord Qiqing, the relationship between Bai Zhenzhen and Lord Yufeng had gradually begun to shift.

What had originally been spirit coin red packets given by Lord Yufeng to Bai Zhenzhen gradually turned into spirit coin red packets given by Bai Zhenzhen to him.

The originally approachable Uncle Yufeng had also slowly transformed into the strictly impartial Chancellor Yufeng.

An office that used to be accessible at any time had further changed into a place that could only be reached through appointments and waiting.

At this moment, listening to Lord Yufeng's disposal of the Sword Vault, Bai Zhenzhen could not help but speak up, "Uncle Yufeng..."

"Hmm?" Lord Yufeng's brow furrowed slightly as he spoke, "How many times have I told you? Within the school, you must address me by my official title. Regarding the matter of the Sword Vault, I will give you three days. Settle it within three days, you may leave."

Bai Zhenzhen said, "Chancellor, the Sword Vault was entrusted to me by my Master..."

Lord Yufeng cut Bai Zhenzhen off directly, saying coldly, "As long as it is within the school, it is school property. The school is currently facing difficulties. If the Lord were still here today, I believe that with her ladyship's noble character and integrity, she would surely be willing to cooperate with the school's work."

Bai Zhenzhen explained, "But what has always been stored in the Sword Vault are Master's disciples and followers, and it has always been maintained using Master's own funds..."

Even as she spoke, Bai Zhenzhen had already transferred 100 spirit coins to Lord Yufeng.

After accepting them, Lord Yufeng spoke indifferently, "I will give you one more hour."

"A measly 100 spirit coins only buys one more hour?" Bai Zhenzhen's eyes widened in rage as she stared at Lord Yufeng before her, cursing in her heart, "You dog, why don't you just rob me?"

Seeming to sense the shift in Bai Zhenzhen's emotions, Lord Yufeng said coldly, "Bai Zhenzhen, for Qiqing's sake, I will give you one final piece of advice."

"The disposal of the Sword Vault is a major matter already decided by the school. Anyone who defies the greater picture will only be crushed to pieces."

"If you fail to cooperate properly and dare to embezzle school property, then no one will be able to save you."

Following that, Bai Zhenzhen paid visits one by one to the various Soul Formation Lords of Heaven Sword University, the school officials, and the Soul Formation disciples... yet she was turned away at every door.

Bai Zhenzhen, who once used to come and go as she pleased within Heaven Sword University, now felt that the entire university was like walls of brass and iron, blocking her path so completely that she could barely take a single step.

...

On the third layer of Kunxu, inside the research society near the Grand Cavity.

A series of sharp gleams flashed through Zhang Yu's eyes, and as his dharmic power circulated, a layer of spatial barrier manifested within his palm.

When Zhang Yu had first cultivated the Immortal Sect Daoist art, Void Boundary of the Three Realms and Ten Directions, to Level 1, he could only deploy a spatial barrier the size of a palm.

Once this Daoist art reached Level 11, it was capable of deploying a human-sized spatial barrier, and the barrier could be controlled to bend, creating various shapes.

Upon breaking through to Level 21, Zhang Yu could manufacture a spatial barrier spanning dozens of square meters with a single move, and he could control the spatial barrier to move.

Yet at this very moment, as Zhang Yu pushed this Immortal Sect Daoist art to Level 31, the spatial barrier spread out rapidly from his hand, enveloping the entire office of several hundred square meters in the blink of an eye.

Furthermore, as his thoughts shifted, objects in the office continuously permeated through this layer of spatial barrier.

"A Level 31 Void Boundary of the Three Realms and Ten Directions produces a spatial barrier that is larger and faster, but these are secondary... the key is that it can more meticulously regulate which objects are allowed to permeate through the spatial barrier."

Zhang Yu tapped his fingertip gently, and under the pull of an Earthly Fiend gravitational force, a chair floated up, easily passing through the spatial barrier as if it were passing through thin air.

Next, Zhang Yu flicked his sword-finger lightly, and a flying sword slashed heavily against the spatial barrier, only to strike something akin to an ultra-high-strength magical treasure shell, unable to advance even an inch.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The spatial barriers deployed by the Righteous Qi Alliance, including the firmament that isolates each layer, utilized this very technology. That is how they allowed their own people to pass through at leisure while leaving the people of the Ten Great Universities blocked by the spatial barrier."

Of course, Zhang Yu knew that relying solely on a Level 31 Void Boundary of the Three Realms and Ten Directions was not yet enough to crack the firmament using pure immortal dao technology.

However, just relying on this technology to construct positions for the Ten Great Universities, combined with other spatial products... would already be sufficient to bring a massive advantage to the battlefield.

Zhang Yu mused inwardly, "In that case, the direction for the second generation of the Void Cloud Vault should indeed be..."

Naturally, it was not as though Zhang Yu had only just learned of the changes brought by the continuous upgrades to the Void Boundary of the Three Realms and Ten Directions, as he had already read through the entire contents of this Immortal Sect cultivation method long ago.

Therefore, regarding the update direction for the second generation of the Void Cloud Vault, he already had a plan in mind.

"The immortal dao technology contained within the Immortal Sect cultivation methods is extremely profound. As the cultivation method level rises, every single time I either burn my Dao Heart to drive the Heavenly Crafting to generate design blueprints, or burn my inspiration to drive the Spiritual Rhythm Artifact Heart to synthesize blueprints, the consumption increases higher and higher with each level." As he spoke, Zhang Yu looked toward the basic data manifesting upon the Feathered Script.

Although he had to extract a vast amount of time and energy during these days to cultivate Immortal Sect Daoist arts, causing some delay in his basic cultivation, under the pouring of staggering resources and the realization of his talent, his cultivation efficiency remained far beyond that of cultivators of the same rank.

Presently, Zhang Yu's Dao Heart level had already reached Level 36 (78.39%), his physical strength was at Level 37.49, and his dharmic power had arrived at 35,181 units.

"The Dao Heart should originally have been higher, but previously to drive the Heavenly Crafting, I had no choice but to burn the Dao Heart, which ultimately slowed down my cultivation."

Zhang Yu understood in his heart that if he wished to avoid slowing down the cultivation of his Dao Heart as much as possible, and minimize the consumption of the Heavenly Crafting upon his Dao Heart, he had to be sufficiently prudent with every activation of the Heavenly Crafting.

"I cannot simply design whatever I feel like designing; it needs to be designed with a plan and an arrangement."

Just like at this moment, Zhang Yu was sketching and writing upon the spiritual realm projection before him, constantly calculating the next design direction for the Heavenly Crafting in his mind.

At the same time, design blueprints were transported before him from various places in the spiritual realm, all temporarily designated as backup materials for the Spiritual Rhythm Artifact Heart to synthesize blueprints.

One day later, Zhang Yu's first work since the Void Boundary of the Three Realms and Ten Directions reached Level 31 was born, and his Dao Heart also regressed to Level 36 (33.75%).

This time, he had added spatial locking and spatial unlocking functions to the Void Cloud Vault.

This was certainly not the final version of the second generation of the Void Cloud Vault, but merely a beginning.

Yet, upon completing this first version of the design, Zhang Yu directly transmitted this work to Lord Magnetic Pole.

The reason he did this was, on one hand, that he needed Lord Magnetic Pole to cooperate with him to make advance arrangements for the upcoming transformations and production.

On the other hand, it could be considered a demonstration of the new spatial technology to Lord Magnetic Pole, pulling Lord Magnetic Pole into participating in his design work to accelerate their subsequent efficiency.

After all, Lord Magnetic Pole was the possessor of the Dao Seed 'Heavenly Crafting'.

While Zhang Yu was buried in the design of the new product, Bai Zhenzhen had unknowingly stayed at Heaven Sword University for a week.

Zhang Yu hoped very much that Bai Zhenzhen could exchange spiritual roots with him more often for cultivation, so she could break through to the Nascent Soul stage at an early date and complete the further upgrade of the Divine Spiritual Root.

As of now, Bai Zhenzhen had delayed her return, yet she consistently maintained communication with Zhang Yu. Today, just like usual, Zhang Yu sent a message inquiring about her current situation to see if she needed his assistance.

However, even after three hours had passed, Bai Zhenzhen still had not replied, and with the distance between the third layer's Grand Cavity and the second layer's Heaven Sword University, it was also difficult to communicate via Fuji.

Zhang Yu's gaze shifted as he scanned through the chat logs between himself and Bai Zhenzhen.

First were the messages sent to him by Bai Zhenzhen just after she had arrived at Heaven Sword University.

Bai Zhenzhen: My Sword Vault is about to be robbed!

Zhang Yu: Who has come to rob our family's Sword Vault?

Zhang Yu knew that Bai Zhenzhen had always placed great importance on the Sword Vault entrusted to her by Lord Qiqing. After all, the countless sword weapons within ranged from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul, and there was even a flying sword of the Soul Formation rank. The entire Sword Vault was not only boundlessly powerful but also of city-toppling value, sufficient to entice even a Soul Formation Lord to covet it.

It was just that in the past, the upper echelon of Heaven Sword University would still harbor wariness toward Lord Qiqing, but as time flowed on, this wariness was gradually diminishing.

Yet Zhang Yu also understood that this was, after all, an internal affair of Heaven Sword University, and his rash interference would instead easily produce unnecessary trouble.

Bai Zhenzhen: Yuzi, the Sword Vault was handed to me by Master. The sword weapons inside are not just sword weapons; they are Master's disciples and followers. They are my seniors, senior brothers, and senior sisters, carrying their consciousness.

Bai Zhenzhen: The school intends to reclaim and dispose of them all, or even sell them off to Netherworld University.

Bai Zhenzhen: I cannot just stand by and watch this happen.

Bai Zhenzhen: Otherwise, when Master returns, how am I supposed to account to her?

Looking at these words from Bai Zhenzhen, Fuji once again lamented, "She is truly ruined. Bai Zhenzhen has already been completely ruined by cultivating the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao."

"Instead of disposing of perfectly good corpses to exchange for money, is she keeping them in a safe every day just to wait for them to grow moldy? A waste, what an utter waste."

Yet Zhang Yu could understand Bai Zhenzhen’s actions.

He thought to himself, “No matter what, the Seven Emotions did a great kindness for Ah Zhen. It’s only natural she wouldn’t hand over the Sword Vault so easily—that is Ah Zhen’s choice.”

Ever since their conversation yesterday ended, Bai Zhenzhen hadn’t sent him another message—not even now, when he reached out to her again.

Zhang Yu pondered for a moment, then decided to ask an acquaintance at Tianjian University to find out what was happening.

Wen Wuya: Zhenzhen’s currently under house arrest. All her Spirit Realm connections have been severed—no one can get through to her.

Wen Wuya: Unless she agrees to sign the transfer agreement for the Sword Vault, they likely won’t let her go.
