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

Chapter 629 Funeral
Demon Saint's Myriad Transformations Skill Level 11 (0/110)

As his magic power circulated, Zhang Yu saw two strands of hair fall from his head, twisting and deforming in mid-air until they finally transformed into the shape of two swimming fish.

At the same time, the water vapor in the air quickly condensed under the effect of the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor, turning into a mass of water that gathered in mid-air and caught the two fish that had transformed from hair.

As the fish swam back and forth in the water, Zhang Yu sensed the water's temperature, flow direction, texture, and visual information, as if the two fish were part of his body, which he could control at will, extending into the water.

"I finally reached level 11 before the finals."

"I wonder what the final match strategy will be like."

Zhang Yu was not disappointed by the level 11 Demon Saint's Myriad Transformations Nerve. He tried it out for a while and found it very useful.

If you were to ask just how useful it is, Zhang Yu might say... it's like when he was on Earth, he could conjure up North Africans, East Africans, West Africans, South Africans, West Coast people, and East Coast people. These people have amazing physical constitutions and are skilled in different areas such as singing, dancing, rapping, and shopping. Each of them can stand on their own and bring benefits to Zhang Yu.

"I hope that during the finals, I will have the opportunity and time to improve my skills again."

"Sigh, if it had been six months later, no... even just three more months, my chances of winning the championship would have been very different."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu shook his head abruptly, banishing these distracting thoughts: "Now is not the time to think about these things. No matter what, I will do everything in my power to snatch this immortal sect's cultivation technique."

Just as Zhang Yu was taking inventory of his magical artifacts, organizing his sword box, and making final preparations, two patrol members found him through a projection from the spirit world and wanted to ask him some questions.

Zhang Yu glanced at the two of them in surprise, finding their arrival somewhat inexplicable.

He couldn't help but frown and said, "Gentlemen, I have to participate in the Top Ten League next, so I'm afraid I won't have time to cooperate with you."

As he spoke, Zhang Yu even showed off his ranking, hoping that the other party would back down.

The two patrol members looked at Zhang Yu politely, and one of them said, "Please rest assured, Zhang Yu, this will not affect your participation in the Top Ten Leagues."

"Because the top ten leagues are going to be postponed."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback and said incredulously, "What did you say? The Top Ten Leagues are going to be postponed?"

The inspection team member nodded: "The exact number of days to postpone hasn't been decided yet, but it definitely can't compare to today."

Zhang Yu immediately sent a message to Anzhen Zhenjun. While receiving a positive reply, the other party also asked him if anyone had come to his door to question him.

Anzhen Zhenjun: Cooperate well, don't be nervous, just answer whatever comes to mind.

Zhang Yu was in an uproar, his mind filled with countless questions: "What on earth happened? Even the top ten leagues have to be postponed?!"

He looked at the two patrol officers in front of him and asked, "Gentlemen, has something serious happened?"

The patrol team member shook his head with a wry smile: "Zhang, please don't make things difficult for us. If we violate the regulations and leak information, we'll both be in huge debts."

Zhang Yu nodded: "Alright, then ask me anything you want, and I'll try my best to cooperate."

Patrol officer: "Zhang, where did you go yesterday?"

"Any witnesses?"

What's your opinion on Dao Qiankun?

What did you talk about with Dao Qiankun yesterday?

After a series of routine questions, Zhang Yu sensed that more and more of the other party's questions were related to Dao Qiankun, which made him think of something.

So after the questioning ended and the projections of the two patrol members disappeared, Zhang Yu immediately sent a message to Dao Qiankun, but received no response.

Zhang Yu was also surprised to find that "Brother Dao has gone offline?"

Zhang Yu also tried asking others, but most people either knew nothing like him or remained silent, as if they had been given a gag order.

The entire Wanfa University campus spent the day in a state of high alert.

Meanwhile, the news of the postponement of the Top Ten Leagues has stirred up various controversies in the spirit world.

Some say it's a fierce battle between the gods on stage, some say the Heavenly Court ordered a change in the competition rules, and others say it's a cult attack that caused injuries or deaths among the contestants. There are all sorts of speculations, which has made many people wonder if another economic crisis will occur, and has even caused fluctuations in stock prices, currency prices, and commodity prices.

Amidst this widespread panic, Wanfa University officially issued a notice the following day.

"Brother Dao is dead?"

Zhang Yu looked at the contents of the announcement and was filled with disbelief.

"how is this possible?"

He continued reading the investigation results, but the more he read, the more horrified he became: "Suicide?"

"Bewitched by the Feathered Ascension Cult?"

"His soul was scattered..."

Zhang Yu recalled the night he last met Dao Qiankun, and the words Dao Qiankun spoke seemed to echo in his ears again.

……

"If you encounter a danger you can't handle, just run away."

"Preserve your useful body and do not easily sacrifice your life."

"You can also escape behind me; I will do my best to protect you." ...

Zhang Yu took a deep breath: "How could Brother Dao commit suicide? And how could he possibly join the Feather Transformation Cult?"

He didn't believe the investigation results, feeling that there were many hidden secrets involved, and he had no idea how deep the water was.

Especially considering the disagreement between Dao Qiankun and the Nascent Soul cultivators, a disturbing guess arose in Zhang Yu's mind: "Could it be that a Nascent Soul cultivator was behind it? The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Four Schools of Myriad Laws... killed Brother Dao because of their disagreement?"

Just then, Fu Ji's voice rang in Zhang Yu's mind: "I don't think it was necessarily the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Four Schools of Ten Thousand Laws who made the move."

"Fuji?" Zhang Yu asked in surprise, "How did you wake up?"

Because of the immense attention from the top ten leagues, and the watchful eyes of numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, Fu Ji has remained asleep for most of the time since arriving at the arena, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, Fu Ji replied, "Your emotions are too agitated; you woke me up long ago."

"Let's talk about returning to the matter of the universe."

"Even if we can't reach an agreement with the Nascent Soul stage of the Four Schools of Ten Thousand Laws, Dao Qiankun will still be an important bargaining chip. Whether we use it to negotiate with Vajra, Immortal Soldier, Heavenly Sword, or the Four Schools of Heavenly Demon, Dao Qiankun, who has a chance to win the championship, is very important."

"Who did that?" Zhang Yu said. "It can't be that they were really bewitched by the Feathered Transformation Sect and committed suicide, can it?"

Fuki sighed, "We don't know who did it, but to be able to do this outside the Ten Great Leagues, under the heavy restrictions and the watchful eyes of the Nascent Soul cultivators, this person's strength is absolutely extraordinary."

As soon as the news of Dao Qiankun's death was announced, Zhang Yu quickly discovered that the Spirit Realm was in an uproar.

Putting aside all sorts of strange theories and speculations, the most talked-about topic next is Kuangtianqing winning the championship of the top ten leagues.

Clearly, many people believe that after Dao Qiankun's fall, Kuang Tianqing is now invincible in the entire competition, and winning the championship of this top ten league and obtaining the immortal sect's cultivation technique is a foregone conclusion.

As a result, Tianmo University was considered a university that would inevitably be influenced by immortal techniques in the future, full of imagination and appreciation potential, and its stock and currency values ​​rose across the board.

Meanwhile, Hehuan, Youming, and Baigu, which have joined forces with Tianmo University, have also seen growth.

The stock price of Wanfa University, which lost its Dao Qiankun, continued to decline, and the stocks of Xianbing, Jingang, and Tianjian also fluctuated.

……

Just as public opinion was boiling over, as if a storm was brewing.

A funeral is being held at the University of VfL campus.

Zhang Yu quietly looked at Dao Qiankun, who was sitting cross-legged on the stage. Dao Qiankun had his eyes closed and was smiling. He looked so healthy that he didn't look like a dead person.

At the same time, a message sent by Ye Xingli appeared in his eyes.

Ye Xingli: I heard that Brother Dao didn't have any wounds on his body.
Ye Xingli: There were no signs of a battle at the scene.
Ye Xingli: It is said that the physical body also dies of natural causes.
Zhang Yu: What about the spirit world? Aren't there any righteous gods there to collect Dao Ge's soul?

Ye Xingli: I don't know, but if he had received it, Dao Ge would have been resurrected by now.
Just then, a representative from the Dao Qiankun family stepped forward and gave a speech, recounting Dao Qiankun's outstanding achievements, excellent work experience, and remarkable potential in the path of immortality...

Next, the head of the Taoist Arts Department took the stage to speak, followed by Jiu Tianliu as a student representative.

Dao Ge's various awards, cultivation achievements, and excellent physical data were all projected, showcasing his outstanding and extraordinary qualities from all aspects.

Only after the speeches and this display were over did the main part of the funeral begin.

"Now we begin the first auction item: the right arm."

"The starting bid is 30 spirit coins, and each bid must be at least 10 spirit coins higher."

Yan Qianji raised his hand and said, "50 spirit coins!"

Jiutianliu said, "60 spirit coins."

As the funeral guests watched intently, their eyes burning as they began bidding on Dao Qiankun's body, Zhang Yu felt as if he were witnessing a pack of hyenas tearing apart the corpse of a lion.

He thought to himself, "Is this the funeral of the rich in Kunxu?"

Unlike ordinary people who hold memorial recruitment events in the spirit world after death.

The bodies of wealthy people, especially famous ones like Dao Qiankun, often fetch high prices after their deaths and are traded at memorial auctions. The proceeds are then distributed to their families and sects to recoup some of the losses from their deaths.

The higher the auction price, the more face the deceased would have.

"After all, a corpse is like a piece of clothing to a rich person," Zhang Yu thought to himself. "Although I can't stand it, to the people of Kunxu, it's similar to a celebrity selling their personal belongings after death, isn't it?"

Just as the bidding was getting more and more intense, a loud female voice rang out, dominating the entire room.

"I'll offer 500 spirit coins."

Zhang Yu suddenly looked up and saw that Kuang Tianqing had arrived at the funeral site at some point, with his arms crossed, his back against the wall, and his gaze indifferently fixed on Dao Qiankun on the stage.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Kuang Tianqing grinned and said arrogantly, "I'm buying his body today, so don't try to take it from me, okay?"

Li Shiwei suddenly stood up and angrily rebuked, "Kuang Tianqing! You're the one who killed Brother Dao! You didn't dare to compete with him head-on on the field! You ambushed Brother Dao, and now you want to desecrate his corpse?!"

She retorted angrily, "You think this price covers everything? I won't allow you to insult Brother Dao like this!"
