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

Chapter 630: The Great Change Unprecedented in Ten Thousand Years
Kuang Tianqing glanced coldly at Li Shiwei and said indifferently, "Dao Qiankun's death has nothing to do with me."

"I'd much rather kill this defeated opponent on the big stage than kill him offstage."

Li Shiwei shouted, "But you were the last person to meet Dao Qiankun that night!"

Kuang Tianqing flicked his fingertips and said nonchalantly, "I've already told the patrol team what I did and said to Dao Qiankun, and it's been confirmed. It has nothing to do with Dao Qiankun's death."

"If anyone still has any complaints, they can go and talk to the leaders of your school."

After saying that, Kuang Tianqing urged, "Hey? Can the auction continue?"

Just as Dao Qiankun's body was being auctioned off, a projection suddenly appeared on the scene, halting the funeral.

"I apologize, everyone. I have personally booked Dao Qiankun's entire body. I hope you will give me the courtesy of not continuing to participate in today's auction."

Immediately, someone on the scene recognized the person projected as Dao Shuyi, an elder of Dao Qiankun's sect. Although he was only a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he was of the same generation as Tianyan Divine Monarch and a powerful figure in the leading enterprise, Wandao Group.

Following Dao Shuyi's words, 99% of the people present gave up their plans to continue participating in the auction.

After Dao Shuyi's bidding, the rest of the participants all gave up.

Before leaving, Zhang Yu came to Dao Qiankun's corpse, looked at the smile on the other's face, and thought to himself, "What talk about changing the world, what talk about preserving one's usefulness... and you yourself died first."

"Not only can I not change the world, I can't even become a soul cultivator."

Just as Zhang Yu was feeling sentimental, he saw a line of words on the other person's chest light up slightly, which read "Descendant of Immortals".

Seeing Zhang Yu's stunned expression, Ye Xingli asked in confusion, "Junior Brother?"

Zhang Yu immediately composed himself, thinking to himself, "The Dao Seed can still be seen? But... wasn't Dao-ge dead?"

"Could it be that Brother Dao isn't dead?"

Zhang Yu looked at Dao Qiankun, whose face was rosy and who seemed ready to open his eyes at any moment, and Dao Qiankun's words seemed to echo clearly in his ears again.

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

……

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt a surge of curiosity, a curiosity that he himself found absurd, reckless, and childish. He wondered what would happen if he hid behind Brother Dao right now.
However, looking at the crowd around him and the wall that Dao Ge was leaning against, Zhang Yu knew that even if he wanted to do so, he wouldn't have the chance at the moment.

"Moreover, how could Brother Dao not be dead... His condition must have been examined by the Nascent Soul Divine Lord. If he's dead, then he's definitely dead."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Instead of doubting that Brother Dao is not dead, perhaps... did the Dao Seed Manual ever say that one must be a living person?"

"Or, for some kinds of Dao seeds, such as the descendants of immortals, could it be that even the dead could be included?"

Zhang Yu didn't know if his guess was right, but looking at Dao Qiankun's corpse in front of him, he felt a sense of reluctance.

Just then, a voice came: "Are you Zhang Yu?"

Zhang Yu turned his head and immediately saw Dao Shuyi's projection.

Seeing the reluctance in Zhang Yu's eyes, Dao Shuyi said, "I've heard about you from others."

"For the next period of time, I will temporarily store Dao Qiankun's body on his flying boat. If you wish, you can go and keep him company."

Zhang Yu asked in surprise, "Huh?"

Dao Shuyi casually said, "I've heard that you are a man of strong character, with the demeanor of cultivators from the past. My nephew also acts in a very traditional way. If he knew that he would have friends who come to pay their respects after his death, he would probably be quite happy."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Dao. I do indeed wish to spend more time with Senior Dao Qiankun."

On the way out, Ye Xingli said, "It seems that this Senior Dao Shuyi is also a follower of the ancients. He took in Brother Dao's body probably out of a sense of remembrance and respect, just like the ancients. Perhaps he did not intend to profit from it."

"The antiquarian faction?" Zhang Yu knew that the so-called antiquarian faction consisted of cultivators whose concepts and habits still carried the shadow of antiquity, who were influenced by the old era, and who even admired ancient practices in some aspects.

"That's normal, after all, many cultivators are ancient people themselves."

"But even if we admire the past, it's only one aspect; it's impossible to completely emulate the ancients."

He thought to himself, "After all, in Kunxu, only the rich can be the ones who admire the past; those who are not rich have no right to admire the past."

On their way out of the funeral, Zhang Yu and the others saw Kuang Tianqing being interviewed outside.

A reporter asked Kuang Tianqing, "Kuang, what are your thoughts on Dao Qiankun's suicide?"

Kuang Tianqing said calmly, "I feel sorry for him. He didn't get to witness the arrival of the new era."

The reporter's eyes lit up, as if sensing a major news story, and immediately asked, "What do you mean by 'new era'?"

Kuang Tianqing smiled proudly and said, "After winning first place in this year's Top Ten Leagues, I will choose the 'Eternal Spring Scripture' from the Immortal Sect's cultivation techniques."

"The purpose of this technique is to extend one's lifespan by ten thousand years."

"I will devote myself to studying this technique and creating a more affordable life-extending technology."

"It won't be long before every cultivator below the tenth level gains at least 300 years of lifespan." "Everyone will have more time to earn money, more time to cultivate, and more opportunities to advance on the path to immortality..."

Kuang Tianqing's words quickly spread like a thunderbolt through the spirit world, even overshadowing the news of Dao Qiankun's death and all other voices within the university community, sparking countless opinions and discussions.

Upon hearing Kuang Tianqing's words, Ye Xingli's gaze sharpened, and she said, "Without Dao Ge and Kuang Tianqing to fight against each other, the success rate of the Heavenly Demon Four Schools' plan has indeed greatly increased."

"If they really do manage to obtain the method to extend lifespan to ten thousand years, then the university world will likely face a major upheaval that is unprecedented in a thousand years, or even ten thousand years."

At the same time, Kuang Tianqing, who was still being interviewed, suddenly turned around and smiled slightly at Zhang Yu.

The message sent by the other party also appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.

Kuang Tianqing: Dao Qiankun is dead. There's no one to protect you in the upcoming matches.
Kuang Tianqing: If I were you, I would focus on my cultivation and waste less time on useless things like this today.

Kuang Tianqing: At least if I do this, you can bring me more fun in the future.

Zhang Yu: You've run two crazy runs already. Wait until you see me again when you're not running before you come back to talk to me about this.

Kuang Tianqing laughed, his gaze towards Zhang Yu becoming increasingly meaningful, and replied: "Zhang Yu, as the prey, you are becoming more and more tempting."
Sensing the undisguised malice emanating from Kuang Tianqing's eyes, Zhang Yu ignored him completely.

Zhang Yu knew that the other party was right about one thing: he should indeed seize the time to cultivate.

With no idea when the Top Ten Leagues will resume, each extra day of training might offer limited progress for others, but for him, who is currently cultivating the "Demon Saint's Myriad Transformations Technique," each day brings tremendous improvement.

……

Demon Saint's Myriad Transformations Skill Level 12 (5/120)

That evening, shortly after Zhang Yu pushed the Demon Saint's Myriad Transformations Nerve to level 12, a new notification regarding the Top Ten Leagues arrived.

"Will the final match continue tomorrow?"

Zhang Yu glanced at the various chat logs in the group. A large amount of information appeared before his eyes, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"According to many people, the four schools of Wanfa have been requesting a further postponement so that they can select a new candidate to replace Dao Qiankun."

"The four schools of the Heavenly Demons, on the other hand, demanded that the competition continue and that one student be selected from the eliminated students to advance."

"But in the end, the Heavenly Court suppressed all disputes and ordered the Ten Leagues to continue."

Just then, Director Gao's communication request reappeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.

Director Gao: "Zhang Yu, I've heard about what happened. Are you alright? The upcoming matches are likely to get increasingly dangerous, so please be careful."

At this point, Director Gao's face was filled with seriousness: "Recently... there has been a massive amount of supplies going in and out of the 666th floor every day, most of which are various kinds of food and nutrients."

"Zhang Yu, your area might be the eye of the storm next, so be careful."

Zhang Yu's heart stirred. He remembered that the 666th floor was where Vice Principal Wanfa and the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord stored their bodies.

Zhang Yu once met the Myriad Transformations God Lord there with the Magnetism True Lord.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "They've started ordering food on a large scale there? Does that mean the Myriad Transformations God is about to take action?"

Director Gao continued, "I originally wanted to ask Magnetism True Monarch about the situation, but she suddenly went into seclusion to refine weapons, cutting off all external contact."

Director Gao said in a deep voice, "She probably won't be able to help you with anything that happens next."

"if you……"

At this point, Director Gao said with some reluctance and helplessness, "If you run into trouble, go find that woman."

Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "That woman?"

"Bai Zhenzhen," Director Gao said, "aren't you two on good terms?"

Zhang Yu looked at Director Gao with some surprise. He remembered that Director Gao had always opposed his relationship with Bai Zhenzhen.

At that moment, Director Gao said, "If you encounter any problems over there that you can't solve, just go to her."

"Her master is, after all, the Seven Emotions God, and he does have some skills."

……

the next morning.

All 30 finalists came to the venue.

The vacancy for Dao Qiankun was filled by the runners from the second relay race, and the strongest player from the 7th ranked team was found, Mu Qiansi from Hehuan University.

At this moment, as ten divine lights of the Nascent Soul stage lit up in succession, the content and rules of the final competition appeared in the sky.
