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

Chapter 821 The Struggle for Immortal Inheritance

Listening to the voice that echoed throughout the entire labyrinth, Zhang Yu's heart stirred slightly: "It really is straightforward, simple, and aboveboard."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Are we just going to let everyone scramble for the inheritance? As long as I manage to grab it, my immortal grotto-heavens and various grotto-heaven production lines... will naturally be cleaned up."

Zhang Yu moved swiftly, transforming into a whirlwind and hurtling towards the entrance of the experimental area.

At the same time, he could sense that almost all the cultivators in the entire factory area were moving at high speed using different methods, like moths attracted by blazing fire, all trying to approach the entrance of the experimental area.

Clearly, even the inheritance of Ying Xintian, a traitor to the Wanfa Sect, is still the inheritance of an immortal, enough to make countless cultivators envious.

Qin Chuan, the Minister of the Youxin Department who participated in this exploration mission, couldn't help but feel a slight surge of excitement.

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! It's actually related to the inheritance of immortals, and to the inheritance of Ying Xintian, that traitorous immortal!"

Qin Chuan recalled a series of memories, and suddenly understood. He sighed, "No wonder the Heavenly Demon Sect attaches such importance to this. No wonder they specially arranged for Ying Aikun to come. No wonder Bu Daojun also made arrangements in advance, parking the flying shuttle in the old graveyard in advance, ready to be deployed at any time. Zhang Yu must also be a pawn she arranged."

Jiang Xunyi, the deputy minister standing to the side, said, "The Heavenly Demon Sect has long been interested in Ying Xintian's inheritance, so they specially invited Ying Aikun to awaken this inheritance. Bu Daojun came specifically to intercept Ying Aikun, which is why he launched a surprise attack in Youxin Department and shattered his physical body."

"Zhang Yu was most likely instructed by Bu Daojun to stop this person, which is why he had such audacity to use the Immortal Shuttle to smash the other party's avatar."

Qin Chuan nodded slightly, but couldn't help thinking about what he should do.

To intercept Ying Aikun? Or...?

"To seize the immortal's inheritance. What better way to stop this than by directly taking the immortal's inheritance?"

"At this moment, in this labyrinth, there are very few cultivators like me who have reached the Void Refinement stage. I have the upper hand, and this is a golden opportunity."

"This immortal inheritance... I, Qin Chuan, am not without a chance to compete for it."

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan moved, transforming into a long rainbow that soared into the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"I'll go scout ahead first, you can come slowly."

Seeing that the minister, who had been timid and hesitant during the previous exploration and always stood at the back, suddenly rushed to the front, Vice Minister Jiang Xunyi sneered inwardly, knowing full well what the other party was thinking.

He thought to himself, "You think you can seize the inheritance of the traitorous immortal?"

Although cultivators at the Void Refinement stage are far superior to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage in all aspects, and are protected by laws, they hold an absolute advantage.

However, in Jiang Xunyi's view, such a gap in realm and rank may not necessarily be an advantage when competing for the inheritance of immortals.

"To become a Void Refinement cultivator, one must establish rules and regulations, which inevitably means bearing the mark of a faction and belonging to a lineage. How can they compare to the clean background of us Nascent Soul cultivators?"

Jiang Xunyi felt that Ying Xintian, this traitorous immortal, would not choose a cultivator who had already established laws and had a background as his successor.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Xunyi suddenly realized that even as a senior Nascent Soul cultivator, he might not be without a chance.

"In order to achieve his goal and realize his ideas, Master Ying took enormous risks and was willing to go bankrupt to do it."

"In order to turn my life around and dominate the gambling world, I tempered my Dao heart, and I also took enormous risks, even if it meant going bankrupt."

“Master Ying and I are the same kind of people. This legacy should be inherited by me, and it will be just right to pay off my gambling debts and give me a second chance at life.”

Thinking of this, Jiang Xunyi also unleashed a divine light of divine transformation, soaring into the sky and heading towards the entrance of the experimental area.

At this moment, Ying Xintian's notification was like a spark, instantly igniting the ambition and desire of countless cultivators in the secret realm, causing countless people to become restless and rush forward wildly in the chaotic spaces, all for the sake of vying for the immortal's inheritance.

At the same time, Zhang Yu had already transformed into a whirlwind and arrived at the entrance of the experimental area, while the Azure Sky-Splitting Immortal Shuttle piloted by his clone had also joined him.

After all, Zhang Yu understood that in the upcoming competition for the immortal inheritance, he had to become Ying Xintian's successor openly and honestly, and could no longer hide his existence and secretly obtain benefits as he had in the past.

Therefore, Zhang Yu boarded the Immortal Shuttle without concealing his identity and piloted it directly into the experimental area.

Upon entering the experimental area, Zhang Yu felt a surge of intent sweeping over him, seemingly intent on locking him in completely.

"That is……"

Following that thought, Zhang Yu immediately saw Ling Chi Ye standing not far away, his feet treading on the void, like a mountain peak.

Zhang Yu naturally remembered this Level 5 sect affairs officer of the Heavenly Demon Sect, a cultivator at the Refining Void Realm. He was the one who had come to the Netherworld Department with Ying Aikun to borrow a soul cultivator last time.

When Ling Chiye saw Zhang Yu arriving on the celestial shuttle, his brows furrowed slightly, and a flash of murderous intent appeared in his eyes before gradually dissipating.

Ling Chiye thought to himself, "Killing Zhang Yu now... shouldn't be too difficult."

Although the other party was protected by the Immortal Shuttle, as they delved deeper into the maze, the connection to the spirit world gradually broke down. After arriving at this experimental area, they were almost completely cut off from the outside world.

Without the arrival of a true god, without connection to the spirit world, and without any means of communication... then in Ling Chi Ye's eyes, this immortal shuttle is nothing more than a coffin.

After all, no matter how powerful the Immortal Shuttle was, it couldn't unleash much of its power in Zhang Yu's hands.

If they were outside, Ling Chi Ye would still need to be wary of the authority that the Immortal Shuttle possessed.

But here, Ling Chi Ye was fully confident that he could kill his opponent on the spot. The only things he needed to consider were how much power he would have to expend and whether he might get injured.

Is it necessary?

Ling Chiye withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself, "Should I waste some energy, even getting a minor injury from the Immortal Shuttle... to finish off Zhang Yu?"

Looking at the experimental area ahead, he could only see a patch of darkness with a few scattered points of divine light, like a mysterious night sky interspersed with a few starlight.

After entering the experimental area, Ling Chiye discovered that... as a cultivator at the Refinement Void Realm, he could no longer advance.

Light, direction, space... If he takes one step forward, he will lose all his senses, making it difficult to even move, let alone continue exploring.

However, other cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage were completely unaffected.

In that instant... Ling Chiye immediately understood that this must be a restriction set up by Ying Xintian, which only allowed cultivators below the Refinement Void level to continue to go deeper and participate in the competition for the inheritance.

"Is it because the Daoist lineage imprint on Lianxu is too deep that he is unwilling to be chosen as his successor? Or is it..."

Ling Chiye looked into the darkness and saw the light representing Ying Aikun's Nascent Soul stage. He thought to himself, "Is it because of Ying Aikun? No wonder he has only reached the Nascent Soul stage since joining the Heavenly Demon Sect. The Tai Zhen Immortal Clan has never helped him improve or recover. So this is what they were waiting for."

"Sigh, these immortal inheritances are all pre-ordained, already allocated by the higher-ups, one radish for one hole... how could anyone really fight for them?"

At this moment, Lingchi Ye extinguished the last trace of desire in his heart, and he no longer hoped to have a share in the immortal inheritance.

He knew his next responsibility was to protect Ying Aikun and ensure that she could successfully leave the maze after seizing the immortal's inheritance. In this way, he would have made a great contribution to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"Indeed, within this entire labyrinth, only Ying Aikun is truly qualified to claim the immortal's inheritance." "There's a 99% chance that Senior Ying will emerge victorious after seizing the inheritance..."

"If something unexpected happens and Senior Ying fails to obtain the immortal's inheritance, then... whoever obtains the immortal's inheritance will be killed."

Ling Chiye thought to himself, "If Senior Ying successfully obtains the immortal's inheritance, I will protect him and help him leave this place as soon as possible, and do everything I can to help him escape the maze."

This is also why Ling Chiye hesitated and didn't want to waste his energy dealing with the Immortal Shuttle.

Just as Ling Chiye was pondering this, he sensed two more auras of the Void Refinement Realm entering the experimental area, and then, like him, being stopped at the entrance.

"Minister Xie of the Netherworld Palace, and Minister Qin of the Myriad Laws Sect..."

These two were old acquaintances of Ling Chi Ye from the old graveyard, and he was confident that he could protect Ying Ai Kun and help her leave in front of them.

"No unfamiliar experts have intervened yet, and everything is still under control."

Ling Chiye breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that at this moment, the outside of the maze, and even the entire Old Graveyard, had probably been cut off from news of the maze's anomalies by Su Lingyou of the Heavenly Demon Immortal Clan.

"Peak Master Su should be outside. No matter who obtains the immortal's inheritance, they will inevitably have to pass her test in the end."

Just then, Zhang Yu, who was not far away, circled around in his celestial shuttle before finally stopping.

Zhang Yu discovered that once his immortal shuttle arrived at this place, it was as if it had come to a barrier, and he could not move forward even half a step no matter what.

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "What do you mean? You won't let me in?"

Zhanxian reminded him, "I'm afraid they're not allowing the Immortal Shuttle to enter. It must be a restriction specially set up by our master to prevent anyone from bringing in something like the Immortal Shuttle to compete for the inheritance and disrupt the order."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I'm afraid Ying Xintian didn't expect that his chosen successor would be able to fly over here using the privilege of having a Celestial Token. Setting up such a restriction was probably intended to protect his successor."

Zhang Yu shook his head, and with a thought, he controlled the celestial shuttle to shoot himself forward.

This time, the barrier disappeared, and Zhang Yu's figure flashed, disappearing to an unknown location.

The Immortal Shuttle responded to Zhang Yu's order before leaving, turning into a speck of dust and falling to the ground, completely hidden and difficult to detect, awaiting Zhang Yu's return.

Seeing this, Ling Chiye thought to himself, "How dare you overestimate yourself? You think you're worthy of even touching the inheritance of an immortal?"

Ling Chiye had seen many scenes like Zhang Yu entering the experimental area without being blocked by the barrier and then being teleported away.

Judging from the divine lights of Nascent Soul cultivators shining through the darkness ahead, Ling Chiye deduced that these cultivators would randomly appear in different locations within the experimental area after being teleported.

Their target should be the beam of blood shooting into the sky at the center of the experimental area.

Even after traversing countless spaces and vast distances, Ling Chiye could still sense an overwhelming hatred and a profound power originating from the Heavenly Demon Sect from that streak of blood-red light.

"That must be the corpse of a former sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect that Ying Xintian mentioned."

From Ling Chi Ye's perspective, the entire experimental area was shrouded in darkness. Within the darkness, streaks of divine light from Nascent Soul cultivators emerged, like stars, constantly approaching the blood-red light in the center.

At this very moment, the one closest to the blood-red light and moving the fastest, in Ling Chi Ye's eyes, was Ying Ai Kun's divine light.

As for Zhang Yu, who just entered...

Ling Chiye scanned the area but found no new Divine Transformation light emerging.

"Too faint?"

"Or is it that... he has just entered the Nascent Soul stage, and his primordial spirit is too weak and his power is limited, so he has not released it yet?"

Ling Chiye shook his head, feeling that either possibility was true.

After all, breaking through a realm doesn't immediately lead to a qualitative change in combat power; many things require gradual cultivation, accumulation, and change.

In Ling Chi Ye's view, Zhang Yu, a cultivator who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, was insignificant except for the Immortal Shuttle. Joining this competition showed a lack of self-awareness and made it impossible for him to obtain the Immortal's inheritance.

"But it's also a good thing."

In Ling Chi Ye's view, Zhang Yu's voluntary departure from the shuttle meant one less troublesome problem. By the time Ying Ai Kun came out of the experimental area, Zhang Yu might still be trapped inside, so Ling Chi Ye wouldn't have to worry about the threat of the Immortal Shuttle.

……

at the same time.

Beyond the labyrinth.

A cool and aloof young woman, dressed in a black robe, rested her chin on her hand and silently gazed toward the direction of the maze.

It was Su Lingyou from the Heavenly Demon Immortal Clan of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Before her eyes appeared messages from the cultivators who were exploring the labyrinthine office area.

Although the spiritual connection to the experimental area has been completely severed, the spiritual connection to the office area remains intact, allowing many cultivators to hear about the so-called immortal inheritance.

"Is it the legacy of Yingxintian?"

"Looks like this trip really wasn't a waste of time."

Su Lingyou frowned slightly, her right hand clenching into a fist, as if she had already grasped the spirit realm outside the maze ahead, suppressing all the information about the maze's anomalies, the new heaven, and the immortals' inheritance for the time being.

She knew that to successfully obtain the item deep within the labyrinth, controlling the information was the key.

Therefore, since arriving at the old graveyard, Su Lingyou has been controlling the transmission of information here to prevent intelligence from being leaked and attracting more unnecessary people.

Su Lingyou believed that as long as the news did not spread, the maze would remain under her control.

This is also why Su Lingyou did not actively stop Zhang Yu from driving the Immortal Shuttle into the labyrinth.

After all, stopping the Immortal Shuttle outside the Enchanted Realm would cause a huge commotion and easily attract attention, especially since the Immortal Shuttle has such high authority that she can't suppress much information.

So she simply let the celestial shuttle enter the maze. After all, once inside, the connection to the spirit world was severed... a celestial shuttle piloted by a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't cause any trouble.

“Bu Yingshu… your men have made a huge mistake.”

"The key to dealing with a maze is to grasp information and maintain an information gap."

"The significance of keeping your magic shuttle parked outside and guarding the entrance is far greater than rushing in and crashing into people."
