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

Chapter 732 The Interview Ends, Emerging from the Map
As the voice of the auspicious god arrived, the angry voice of the god of happiness also entered the painting of ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains.

Xi Shen: "You arrived pretty quickly."

Xiang Shen laughed and said, "If I had arrived any later, my employees would have been poached."

Although many of the evil gods in the Righteous Alliance were enemies and rivals of Zhang Yu, and even the auspicious god had planned three attacks against Zhang Yu.

But it is precisely because of this that they understand Zhang Yu's value even more.

Whether it's his rapid advancement in cultivation or his astonishing talent in mastering spatial technology and developing spatial magical artifacts, Zhang Yu has demonstrated formidable production, research, and earning capabilities.

The idea of ​​having the chance to convert such a talented and capable cultivator into a follower, just imagining how the other person would help him make money in the future, was extremely attractive to both Xi Shen and Xiang Shen.

In addition, not to mention the vast amount of assets Zhang Yu currently owns, which are all wealth that can be rightfully inherited after the war.

Upon hearing the voice of the second evil god, Zhang Yu's heart stirred, and he smiled and said, "Are you two here to interview me? It seems I'm quite popular in the Righteous Alliance."

Xi Shen snorted coldly and said, "Yes, this Xiang Shen is the evil god who is keeping a close eye on you, and he has organized several operations against you." Zhang Yu's eyes narrowed, and he instantly remembered the incident in which he, Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan, and Bai Zhenzhen were attacked.

Xiang Shen said calmly, "Hmph, this is precisely a demonstration of my ability. People should find capable bosses. If they had listened to me earlier and done as I said, Zhang Yu would have already become our follower, and the plan would have progressed much more smoothly..."

Xi Shen: "Enough, Xiang Shen. How many times have I said this? Don't say things that are detrimental to unity. We all serve the God King, so I just don't understand why you're making such a fuss over such a small matter."

Xiang Shen sneered, "What? You want to forbid me from discussing this topic? You want to silence me? Or block me?"

Xi Shen: "Don't talk nonsense. Using methods like silencing people... that's something only an authoritarian organization like the Heavenly Court would do. I'm just representing the majority of my colleagues and making a collective decision. I suggest you stop discussing related topics and disrupting our unity."

Listening to the various sharp exchanges between the two evil gods, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "There seems to be quite a conflict between these two evil gods."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yu suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two evil gods and said, "Gentlemen, if I choose one of you to become a follower of an evil god, will there be any difference in the treatment?"

Xi Shen spoke first, saying, "I will unleash your potential, enhance your talents, and grant you the authority to use the power of the evil god."

The auspicious god interrupted, "What you're saying, which evil god doesn't know? Zhang Yu, if you're willing to join my sect, I can support you to become the vice leader of the Righteous Alliance in the future."

Xi Shen snorted coldly and said, "Zhang Yu, if you are willing to follow me, then you will be my only personal disciple from now on."

Auspicious God: "Follow me, and you will be my master."

Xi Shen: "I'll take you as my godson!"

Auspicious God: "Come with me, and you'll be my father."

A flash of anger crossed Xi Shen's eyes as she sent a message to Xiang Shen: "Xiangzi! Are you deliberately trying to raise the price for me?"

Just then, Zhang Yu said again, "I heard that evil gods can grant wishes?"

The auspicious deity continued, "I can grant you three wishes: that I will not suffer any loss, that I will not be in danger, and that my wishes will not violate my values..."

Zhang Yu said, "Gentlemen, I would also like to hear your plans for the future development of your careers."

Hearing that Xiang Shen was about to say something more, Xi Shen directly sent a message: "Enough, just state your demands directly. What do you want in exchange for giving Zhang Yu to me?"

Within the vast landscape painting, the voices of the two evil gods were never heard again.

Zhang Yu was not in a hurry and continued to focus on his cultivation. The rolling layers of qi seemed to be alive, vaguely transforming into the shapes of various demonic beasts.

Meanwhile, the many Nascent Soul True Monarchs listening to Zhang Yu's conversation with the Evil God all had different thoughts.

The Celestial Phenomenon True Lord couldn't help but wonder, "Is Zhang Yu merely feigning compliance, or is he truly planning to surrender?"

Looking at the flawless landscape painting before him, the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch shuddered as Zhang Yu sent him aside with a burst of qi. His injuries were also temporarily stabilized by the medicine Zhang Yu had given him.

Zhang Yu did not stop, but continued to operate the Myriad Transformations Freedom Profound Art, and said to another Nascent Soul cultivator of the demon race, "True Lord Xuanhu, there is something I need your help with."

Xuanhu Zhenjun walked into the qi with a puzzled look on his face, and soon came out with a satisfied look on his face.

Seeing this scene, the Wild Tiger True Lord was filled with doubt and confusion, constantly pondering what had happened.

He sent a telepathic message to True Lord Xuanhu, but the other party remained silent, leaving True Lord Huanghu even more confused.

Finally, Zhang Yu also summoned the Wild Tiger True Lord over.

The Wild Tiger True Lord walked into the sea of ​​clouds formed by the Qi, his tiger eyes scanning the surroundings, but he could always see figures flashing by, as if Zhang Yu was not alone in this sea of ​​clouds, but a group of people.

"Is it a humanoid aura?"

Just as True Lord Desolate Tiger was pondering this, Zhang Yu, who was in front of him, transmitted his voice and said, "True Lord Desolate Tiger, I want to buy your demon bloodline."

"Me?" Upon hearing this, True Monarch Huanghu was shocked, then said solemnly, "I'm not going to give away anything cheaply."

At this moment, True Lord Wild Tiger finally understood what had just happened.

He thought to himself, "So it's a business transaction. No wonder they're all keeping their mouths shut; they've made a confidentiality agreement and can't reveal the price?"

Regardless, since it was a business transaction, Lord Wild Tiger immediately got into the swing of things: "This is my standard price list. From Qi to Essence, from Blood to Brain, as long as you can name your price, anything is negotiable..."

Looking at the other person's resume, Zhang Yu said, "You've been the champion of the Nascent Soul group on the Heavenly Demon University's seed donation list for thirty consecutive years?"

The Wild Tiger True Monarch said proudly, "Besides the Daoist arts, I also studied the reproductive arts. If you are willing to donate seeds at the Heavenly Demon University, you can get priority when you need seeds. However, most cultivators are too busy to pay the reproductive tax and don't have the spare capacity to donate seeds."

“And cultivators like me who can top the seed donation list can request any cultivator in the Heavenly Demon University to provide seeds in the same year to extract their demon bloodline, and even request seeds from Nascent Soul cultivators is no problem.”

"After thirty years of arduous cultivation, I am now confident that I can breed offspring of any demon race within the Heavenly Demon University, and I have a certain reputation in the relevant fields and companies."

Looking at the other person, Zhang Yu thought to himself that he had finally found an expert. The other person contained more than one kind of demon bloodline, which would definitely be of great help to his cultivation of the Myriad Transformations Freedom Profound Technique.

Then Zhang Yu said, "Give me ten vials of blood first."

In the time that followed, Zhang Yu diligently practiced the "Myriad Transformations of Freedom" within the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Painting.

As he progressed in this Taoist art, he was able to create more and more real clones, and each additional clone doubled his cultivation speed.

As he practiced, he became faster and faster, and the faster he practiced, Zhang Yu pushed the "Myriad Transformations Freedom Profound Skill" to level 30, then level 35... and finally reached level 40, a level from which there was no further progress!
A total of sixteen formal clones were hidden within layers of qi, which, together with Zhang Yu's main body, brought Zhang Yu a total of 17 times the cultivation efficiency.

He thought to himself, "If we include the Nascent Soul Saint Body, then compared to my state when I just broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, that's three times more efficient, a full 51 times more efficient."

During the time Zhang Yu was breaking through to level 40 of the "Myriad Transformations Freedom Mystic Art", no one knew what had happened outside, but the evil god never appeared again.

So Zhang Yu looked up at the sky, observing the vast landscape before him, and thought to himself, "It's time to prepare how to break through this immortal treasure."

Zhang Yu knew that with his mastery of spatial technology and the power of his immortal lineage, breaking through the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map should be no problem. However, he would inevitably suffer a backlash from this magical artifact during the process, and the injury might be even more severe than when he broke through to the Heavenly Dome last time.

"Given the current unknown situation, if we make a breakthrough... we need to be fully prepared to face the external situation after the breakthrough in the best possible condition."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu's mind flashed through the names of various equipment, magical artifacts, and cultivation techniques both inside and outside his body, as well as considerations of the current situation...

Finally, the name of the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" appeared before his eyes.

"This vast landscape painting forms its own world..."

Although Zhang Yu has been cultivating silently ever since he was trapped here, it doesn't mean he hasn't explored this place.

In fact, while he was cultivating, he had already released 12 Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords to explore the surroundings.

Besides him, the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs had also searched the entire Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map, trying to find a way out.

"Although this 'Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains' painting is only the size of a small city and has limited height, all the land, mountains, and rivers in it are real and true, as if they were moved from somewhere outside."

The "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra," as a military-grade martial art of the Civil Engineering Department of Tianyao University, is, like the "Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power," a martial art that pushes the gravity of the earth's evil forces.

However, it is very different from the way it is expressed in "The Divine Power of Moving Mountains in Kunlun". "The Sutra of Mount Sumeru" uses the weight of the earth to add the weight of the mountains to a punch or kick, and can transfer the power to the mountains and earth in the process of the body bearing the power.

Zhang Yu secretly calculated in his heart: "If I cultivate the 'Sumeru Mountain King Scripture', then when I break through the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map, I can transfer a part of the back shock I receive to these lands and mountains."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh, "After I master the Sumeru Mountain King Sutra, I'm going to become even more fleshy."

Thinking about his future rivals, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel disgusted for them.

Just as Zhang Yu was making his calculations, the hearts of the several Nascent Soul True Monarchs beside him sank lower and lower.

Celestial True Lord sighed, "Has a day already passed? The reinforcements have yet to arrive, and I wonder how the battle is going now."

Upon hearing Celestial Phenomenon True Lord's words, Wild Tiger True Lord was startled and abruptly stood up, saying, "Has a day already passed? You've reminded me..."

"I haven't finished my task today."

Seeing that True Lord Wild Tiger had taken out his tools and started extracting and collecting the seeds, True Lord Celestial Phenomenon couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"We've all been captured by the Righteous Alliance! We might never be able to go back!"

Why are you still thinking about rankings?

While working hard, True Lord Wild Tiger said, "How do you think I got to be number one for 30 years? From the beginning, I have never been a gifted person in this area. What geniuses can do in 0.3 seconds, I may need 3 or even 5 seconds to do."

"But it is through perseverance day after day, whether it is illness or disability, economic crisis or war, that I have been able to stand at the top of the list and accumulate day by day."

Upon hearing this, even the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Xuanhu, standing to the side, said calmly, "Wild Tiger, you make it sound nice, but I can see your hands are already trembling. This 'Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains' map has us trapped tightly. I think it's only a matter of time before we surrender. You'd better forget about your so-called top spot..."

Following Xuanhu Zhenjun's words, none of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs present refuted him, and the atmosphere became increasingly somber.

The reason was that in the past day and night, they had tried various methods to decipher the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map," but all of them failed.

Judging from their wisdom and experience, what True Lord Xuanhu said is most likely to be true.

Just then, Zhang Yu looked at Celestial Phenomenon True Lord and said, "Celestial Phenomenon True Lord, I would like to participate in the joint training program to cultivate the military-grade martial art, the 'Sumeru Mountain King Scripture'." The so-called joint training program is a policy tailored by the ten major universities for various benefits of the Righteous Alliance.

Through joint training programs, students from the top ten universities can take courses, learn knowledge, and practice techniques from other universities.

However, Zhang Yu has been busy with his own affairs and has not yet made use of this training system.

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch asked in confusion, "Now?"

As for teaching Zhang Yu the Sumeru Mountain King Sutra, Celestial Phenomenon True Lord had no objection.

Even if the spirit world network is disconnected now and the relevant information cannot be submitted, they can simply complete the process later, which is not a big problem for them.

What the Celestial True Lord doesn't understand is... why is Zhang Yu cultivating the "Sumeru Mountain King Scripture" now?
Zhang Yu replied, "Thank you for your trouble. Just charge according to your usual rates."

The existence of the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord before him was one of the reasons why Zhang Yu chose to cultivate the "Sumeru Mountain King Scripture," because with the joint training policy and the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord's teachings, he could openly use this martial art.

Although he didn't understand Zhang Yu's meaning, since the other party was willing to pay, the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord didn't mind teaching him.

So the Celestial True Lord first sent the other party an electronic version of the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" and then began to teach the key points within it.

But before the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord could finish speaking, he felt faint streams of Earthly Fiend Gravitational Force surging out from the mass of Qi and connecting to the earth.

"They've already started cultivating?"

Celestial True Lord sighed helplessly, thinking to himself, "I still have a lot of key experiences and cultivation tips to teach you. You're starting to practice just by looking at a manual?"
At that moment, he felt that Zhang Yu had underestimated this martial art.

Just as the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord had predicted, that faint trace of Earthly Fiend Gravitational Force quickly dissipated, and the connection between the opponent and the earth was severed.

Just as Celestial True Lord was about to offer some guidance, he discovered that Zhang Yu had already activated the Earthly Fiend Gravity once again.

"Again?"

The Celestial Phenomenon True Lord, who was originally waiting for his opponent to fail again, was slightly taken aback, because he felt that Zhang Yu and the earth had completed their connection and were transmitting subtle power to each other.

"It's done?!"

Celestial True Monarch stared blankly in the direction of the cloud of qi where Zhang Yu was, feeling as if he, who had spent days trying to master the art, was a scumbag immortal who couldn't even get into a junior college.

But Zhang Yu was already used to all of this. He cultivated the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" with 17 bodies, including his main body, at the same time, so that his one cultivation session achieved the effect of 51 cultivation sessions in the Yu Book.

The "Sumeru King Sutra," which was just at level 0, has now reached level 3 in one go.

So when Zhang Yu circulated his cultivation technique again, the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord beside him was once again greatly surprised.

Feeling the earth tremble beneath Zhang Yu, and wisps of earthly gravitational force spreading outwards, Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch exclaimed in surprise, "Is this someone who has just started learning? This is at least level 2 or even level 3, right?"

"You've mastered the basics after the first practice session? And you're already at level 2 or 3 after the second?"

When Zhang Yu finished circulating his cultivation technique for the third time, his "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" had reached level 5.

Feeling the undulating ground, Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch was filled with deep doubt: "Another upgrade? This time it's at least level 5. No... no... how could it be so fast?"

"Could it be that Zhang Yu has already cultivated the 'Sumeru Mountain King Sutra'? Is he deliberately putting on an act for me?"

When Tianxiang Zhenjun recalled the scene of Zhang Yu's first time activating the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra," he was indeed extremely unfamiliar with it, and it didn't seem like he was acting.

"And if it were really going to be a performance now... what would be the point?"

Just as the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord was becoming increasingly puzzled, Zhang Yu's cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds. Soon after, he pushed the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" to level 10, and then to level 20...

Amidst the deafening roar, the ground beneath Zhang Yu trembled violently, as if a small earthquake had erupted.

At first, the Wild Tiger True Lord and the others standing to the side didn't pay much attention to Zhang Yu's desire to learn the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" technique.

On the one hand, this military-grade martial art is only of average quality among many military-grade martial arts and Taoist techniques.

On the other hand, they didn't think Zhang Yu could achieve anything in such a short time.

But Zhang Yu's cultivation became increasingly turbulent, eventually causing the earth to tremble and drawing everyone's attention.

"A celestial phenomenon!" True Lord Wild Tiger couldn't help but ask, "Is this the 'Sumeru King Sutra' that you taught him?"

Celestial True Lord nodded, but quickly shook his head again, saying with a shocked expression, "I didn't teach him. I just gave him an electronic version of the manual, and I haven't really taught him much yet... and he started practicing according to the manual on his own."

On the other side, Xuanhu Zhenjun looked at the collapsed mountain not far away and exclaimed, "What level of the Sumeru Mountain King Sutra is this? Why is there such a big commotion?"

Celestial True Lord said, "20... no, it should be level 21 now."

Lord Wild Tiger exclaimed in surprise, "Level 21? How long has it been? He's already pushed the 'Sumeru Mountain King Sutra' to level 21? How is that possible?"

Xuanhu Zhenjun's fox ears twitched slightly as he asked suspiciously, "Could it be that he secretly learned it all along?"

The Celestial Phenomenon True Lord curled his trunk, gave a wry smile, and said, "I don't know, I can't tell anymore."

Amidst the astonished gazes of many Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Zhang Yu continued his rapid advance, pushing the "Sumeru Mountain King Scripture" to level 40.

Feeling the violent tremors throughout the entire landscape painting and watching the mountains collapse one by one, the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord gradually became numb.

"Level 40."

"This pushes the Sumeru King Sutra to level 40?"

Celestial Phenomenon True Lord couldn't help but recall the past: "How long did it take me to cultivate the 'Sumeru Mountain King Sutra' to level 40?"

At this moment, the Celestial True Lord felt that even if Zhang Yu was acting, he had already cultivated the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" to level 40, and was absolutely amazing and incredibly talented.

Because Zhang Yu had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, he needed to consolidate his cultivation, improve his basic stats, practice immortal techniques, research spatial technology, and develop the Boundary-Breaking Cone and the Void Cloud Treasury...

Imagine if Zhang Yu had secretly cultivated the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" to level 40 during this process, even the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord would still find it terrifying.

On the other side, True Lord Huanghu said, "Incredible... No wonder True Lord Zhuyi has achieved such accomplishments at such a young age. His talent is truly astonishing."

But the next moment, looking at the vast landscape before him, True Lord Wild Tiger couldn't help but sigh.

What good is exceptional talent if you're trapped in this vast landscape painting? You're nothing more than a fish in a jar, a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

The Wild Tiger True Lord sighed inwardly, "What use is the Mount Sumeru King Scripture? Even if I cultivate it to level 50 or 60, I still won't be able to break through this Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map."

A moment later, Xi Shen's voice came from outside the Wanli Jiangshan Map.

"Oh? Zhang Yu, I didn't expect you to cause such a commotion here."

"But no matter how much you try to destroy it, it's useless. This 'Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map' is a magical treasure brought out of the sect by the Immortal Slayer True Monarch. It's not something you can break."

Looking at the scene in the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" scroll, which had been turned upside down by Zhang Yu, Xi Shen chuckled inwardly: "This kid really can't hold his temper. I only left him hanging for a day, and he's already like this?"

He thought to himself, "Since Xiang Shen has taken the benefits from me, he won't cause any more trouble."

"Zhang Yu's mental state has also declined, so it's good to put more pressure on him..."

Thinking of this, Xi Shen spoke again to the map of ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains, saying, "In the immortal path, the strong are ultimately respected, and the strong set the rules and determine the future."

"And the strongest person on this battlefield now is Fu Xiantian, the leader of my Righteous Alliance."

"He hasn't even gone all out yet, but he's already completely suppressed the Ten Schools' Nascent Soul cultivators. Your defeat is only a matter of time."

As they spoke, Xi Shen sent over an image, which was the beams of divine light on the battlefield of the God Transformation Realm.

However, the number of divine lights has now changed again.

Xi Shen said, "In the past day and night, another one of the ten Nascent Soul cultivators has fallen, and another has surrendered, leaving only 29 remaining."

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs who witnessed this scene felt a chill in their hearts, as the battlefield situation was deteriorating and the chances of victory for the Ten Schools seemed increasingly slim.

Xi Shen continued, "Besides, since the Immortal Slayer True Lord was able to bring down immortal sect treasures, do you think that as the master of the Heaven Slayer True Lord and the leader of the immortal disciples' alliance... he doesn't have any immortal sect treasures either?"

"It's just that the time isn't right yet, and the Alliance Leader hasn't used it yet."

"And... news has come from the New World that the older generation of Nascent Soul Divine Lords, such as those of Heavenly Evolution, Myriad Transformations, and Seven Emotions, have all surrendered..."

Sensing that the morale of the many cultivators within the Myriad Miles of Rivers and Mountains painting was declining with each word he spoke, Xi Shen smiled slightly and looked at Zhang Yu again: "Zhang Yu, I will ask you one more time today, are you willing to become my believer?"

Zhang Yu spoke up, "Where is the other evil god from yesterday?"

Xi Shen sneered: "I've already sent him away. Let me tell you, don't expect any other evil gods to come looking for you. No one but me will accept you as a believer."

Zhang Yu nodded: "I understand."

"In that case..."

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, Zhang Yu suddenly released his protective aura, then stretched his clasped hands toward the sky, and then tore them apart violently.

With a deafening roar, the entire space containing the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting trembled violently.

Zhang Yu called the space created by the descendants of immortals the Immortal Space.

At that moment, after Zhang Yu activated the power of the Immortal Descendant, he felt as if the Immortal Space and the space where the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map were located were violently colliding.

Under such a collision, the once incredibly solid "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" map, like a car being overtaken by a large truck, was gradually squeezed, deformed, and cracked...

At the same time, powerful shockwaves surged into Zhang Yu's body, some of which he withstood, while others were transferred to the ground beneath his feet, causing the earth and mountains to shatter.

To Xi Shen's astonishment, the magnificent landscape painting before her began to crack inch by inch from the middle, and then a figure crawled out of the crack.
