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

Chapter 825 Mr. Bu Dao, thanks to your planning (9000+ words, please vote)

Zhang Yu had been somewhat confused about the giant corpse before him, which Ying Xintian referred to as a former sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Because the information left by Ying Xintian, including the memories and dreams contained in the corpses of various ancestors, did not clearly explain the identities and roles of the other party.

The only thing Zhang Yu could guess was that the other party might be Ying Xintian's collaborator, or the creator of those crazed corpses in the current maze.

Hearing the giant corpse's question, Zhang Yu replied calmly, "On the path of immortality, who hasn't faced numerous crises and overcome countless difficulties? All we can do is persevere."

The giant corpse transmitted its voice to Zhang Yu, sighing in a private chat: "Unyielding...that's true, but if we could gather more information and understand the workings of Kunxu better, we could avoid some detours."

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he also transmitted his voice, "What can I do for you, senior?"

The giant corpse said, "The legacy of Ying Xintian is not just a legacy, but also a network of connections. Are you aware of this?"

After seeing Zhang Yu nod, the giant corpse continued, "But the connections of immortals are immortal connections, which are not easily utilized by ordinary people."

"If you want to truly make use of the immortal veins and turn them into a driving force for your ascent to immortality, you need to understand the thoughts of the immortals in Kunxu today in order to know how to utilize them."

Zhang Yu looked at the corpse and spirit, who had been dead for who knows how many years, with some suspicion, and asked curiously, "Senior, do you know?"

The giant corpse smiled slightly, ignoring the doubt in Zhang Yu's eyes, and said directly, "Do you know why immortals rarely take direct action?"

Based on his understanding of Kunxu, Zhang Yu tried to say, "Is it because the immortals... have more important and more profitable things to do?"

The giant corpse said, "You're half right. The immortals do pursue profit and always focus their power on the most profitable things, but that doesn't mean they've abandoned other areas."

"To understand this, you must first understand what power and authority mean to immortals."

As Zhang Yu listened attentively, the giant corpse slowly said, "Power, whether it is the lineage, realm or specific immortal techniques, these are the foundation of immortals, the confidence they have when they reside in the Nine Heavens, and the things that all immortals pursue forever."

"But power is ultimately limited; it is something that is consumed as soon as it is used. Even when one reaches the realm of immortals, having transcended the three debts, the five insurances, and the lack of occupation and leakage, competition is still necessary."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu sighed, "Even at the level of an immortal, do they still need to roll?"

“Of course,” the giant corpse said. “It should be said that competition is even more necessary when you reach the realm of immortals. If you are an ordinary person, you can just live a muddled life and eventually die if you don’t participate in the competition. But once you reach the level of an immortal, once you give up the competition and start to fall behind, you will have to face the covetousness of other immortals. At that time, it will not be as simple as just dying.”

"Limited power, coupled with endless competition, means that in order to maintain their lead, immortals must expend their limited power on... those areas that bring them the greatest benefit."

“Once resources are wasted on low-yield areas, it signifies falling behind and danger.”

Zhang Yu said thoughtfully, "What if the two immortals expend their power on the same thing, causing a direct conflict?"

The giant corpse said, "That's the last thing the immortals want to see. Both sides lose power in the battle, resulting in reduced gains. If this happens repeatedly, both sides may fall behind the other immortals."

Zhang Yu nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Power... is like money. Money itself is limited. Only by investing in the places with the highest profit margins can we maintain our leading advantage as everyone's wealth grows together."

"When one reaches the level of an immortal, it is very difficult for anyone to make a mistake, and everyone must have a strong determination to climb the path of immortality. Therefore, every immortal rarely wastes their power, and every immortal strives to maintain rapid growth."

"This means that... after becoming an immortal, one cannot waste one's power. One must invest the limited power into high-growth projects to maintain the lead and avoid being targeted by other immortals."

The giant corpse nodded, then transmitted its voice, "Now that you understand this, let's talk about power."

“Unlike power, authority… in a sense, can be limitless.”

Zhang Yu frowned: "Infinite?"

The giant corpse explained, "You are currently a Level 4 Sect Affairs Officer. If you lend your power to your deputy and let him issue orders on your behalf, wouldn't that be like copying your power?"

Zhang Yu nodded slightly: "Indeed."

Fu Ji nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

The giant corpse continued, "To bestow and replicate out of thin air, that is power."

"The immortals have limited power, so they put it into the projects with the highest growth and the most important ones."

"But the power of the immortals is almost limitless. Through the system they have established, they can command billions of living beings to serve them."

"Power is built upon strength. Only by being strong and maintaining a high growth rate can one maintain power. Once strength is excessively depleted in the struggle, causing it to fall into a backward position, power will gradually be weakened."

Listening to what the giant corpse said, Zhang Yu seemed to understand something for a moment and said, "So... the power of the immortals was used in the most important place... to profit themselves, and then they used their power to influence other places... to continue to profit themselves."

"That means if I were to attempt to use the immortal veins to summon the power of immortals and have them use force to help me, that would be something the immortals would despise, unless the profit margin of that matter is ridiculously high, exceeding what they are currently dealing with."

"But if... I use the immortal veins of Yingxintian to grant me power, and in the process I profit for the immortals, that is the way the immortals approve of, and that is what the immortals of Kunxu have been doing all along."

Recalling his past experiences, Zhang Yu said, "So... I want to become a pawn of the Immortal Vein, so that they can use me."

The giant corpse nodded and continued, "To achieve this, you need to understand the immortal veins that Ying Xintian has guided you through, what they are thinking, and what they need."

"These former companions of Ying Xintian are dissatisfied with the current state of Kunxu. It is precisely because of their existence that many reforms have been implemented, such as the college entrance examination, the Foundation Establishment Certificate, and the sect examination."

"This is due to the remaining righteous beliefs in their hearts, as well as to maintain the vitality of Kunxu and sustain the growth of the entire Kunxu."

"But they are not as extreme as Ying Xintian. They do not want to lose too much of their own interests in this kind of reform, which would cause them to fall from grace."

Just as Zhang Yu nodded slightly, marveling at how much the giant corpse knew, he heard it continue, "And your identity is very useful to them."

"You entered the top ten in Kunxu after passing the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam, and continued to advance bravely and diligently. You entered the sect after passing the first Lower Realm Sect Exam. You are the best banner of successful reform."

Zhang Yu was shocked upon hearing this: "Senior, you even know these things?"

The giant corpse smiled mysteriously, without answering, but continued, "In addition, you also resisted Zhanxian and Fuxiantian in the university war, which means that you have drawn a line between yourself and Yingxintian and do not agree with Yingxintian's ideas."

"These two points have made you available, qualified you to be a flag of reform, and a pawn in their game."

"But merely becoming a pawn is not enough to climb high or go far on the path to immortality."

"If you want to climb higher and farther in Kunxu today, you need to become a blade in the hands of the immortals."

"If you want to reach the peak in the 36-story Kunxu, you must successfully escape after displaying your full power. This is the most difficult and highest path to immortality."

Are you willing?

Zhang Yu nodded firmly and said, "Of course I'm willing."

The giant corpse said, "Do you know that once you step onto this path, it is often a death sentence, and it may put you in danger of losing everything for ten or even a hundred lifetimes?"

"But if you are willing to hand over the immortal inheritance now, you may still have a chance to live a peaceful life."

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, and at that moment many images flashed through his mind.

There is a former self who died after summoning an evil god when he had nowhere else to go, a high school classmate who was sold, and the first floor of Kunxu that almost became a flesh and blood factory.

There are also countless college and junior college students who are eating cement and drinking excrement.

He thought of the countless cultivators who had once chased him, like countless stars breaking through the sky, and who had once pursued him.

He thought of the university level, which was being transformed by the ten major sects.

And countless others, including Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Pianpian, Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan, Teacher Ciji, and Teacher Gao, who are destined to be consumed forever in endless cycles of reincarnation.

There are also Zhanxian and Fuxiantian, who fought alongside him; Huangniu, who charged into the sky to confront the immortals; and Yingxintian, who has persevered to this day...

Zhanxian said, "Zhang Yu, it's our turn. This is an opportunity given to us by our master, a baton he passed on to us."

Wild Ox said, "I would rather die than surrender, and I would not regret sacrificing myself."

Kao Zong's clone: ​​"What are you guys doing? I think we should just hand over the immortal inheritance to the Wanfa Sect."

Fuki's heart was pounding: "It's coming, it's coming. I have a feeling... What's coming next is an extremely high-risk, but also extremely high-reward gamble. The most important all-in bet in my career as the evil god Fuki is about to begin."

Looking at the giant corpse before him, Zhang Yu slowly said, "I... want to change Kunxu. I want to climb up step by step and eventually stand at the top of Kunxu. From the moment I made this decision, I knew that this path would be difficult, and the end of the road would likely be failure."

He smiled and said, "I originally thought... I could get through this period of time in a safer way."

"But now that the path has come before me, I have no choice but to give it my all."

"As for success or failure, it is not up to me to decide. All I can do is take a gamble."

“Alright,” the giant corpse said, “then let’s go all out.”

"Your identity and your deeds are enough to make you a pawn, but you must remember to always solidify this point and always make yourself a flag of reform."

"Then you also need to demonstrate your value and brilliance."

"Your greatest value right now lies in two things. First, your inherent potential, but that will take time to realize; it's not time for it to be unleashed yet. Second, your current mastery of the maze is crucial; you need to familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible..."

Then the giant corpse added, "As for showing its strength, the best way is to take the initiative to become Yun Taizhen's enemy."

Zhang Yu was slightly startled upon hearing this: "Yun Taizhen?"

Kao Zong's clone exclaimed urgently, "That's an immortal! We can't go against an immortal!"

The giant corpse said, "The immortal veins that Ying Xintian introduced for you all conflict with Yun Taizhen, including conflicts of interest and conflicts of lineage."

"As long as you are willing to point your blade at Yun Taizhen, the hilt will naturally be aimed at these immortal veins, and they will become your backers."

The giant corpse sighed, “Showing loyalty and determination are all good, but giving them leverage over you and letting them control you will satisfy them more than loyalty, determination, or ideals.”

"But this doesn't mean you have to actually fight Yun Taizhen to the death. Your target could be the Taizhen Immortal Clan under Yun Taizhen, which would also be making an enemy of her."

"It just so happens that you know Bu Yingshu of the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan, which is excellent... We can also use him to deal with Yun Taizhen..."

"You must give the immortals the opportunity to wield their power, find the right angle for them to draw their swords, so that they can profit simply by pushing the hilt of their swords..."

While Zhang Yu was talking to the giant corpse, he devoted most of his remaining energy to sensing the maze, wanting to quickly familiarize himself with his control over it.

Since he obtained Ying Xintian's bloodline power from Ying Yunyao's corpse and upgraded [Descendant of Immortals] to level 6, he felt a strong connection between himself and the labyrinth.

The giant corpse explicitly told him that he would be in control of this labyrinth in the future.

"I'll take control of this labyrinth?"

"Then... to what extent can I control it? That's where my value lies..."

The area that Yingxintian transformed into a labyrinth covers more than half the area of ​​the old cemetery, and occupies the most valuable part of the old cemetery, encompassing the experimental area and the factory area.

Zhanxian said, "If production can be restored in the Misty Realm, its total output value, economic value, and industry impact will be enormous."

Zhang Yu said, "Therefore, the extent to which I can interfere with the labyrinth and whether I can restore production here will determine my future value."

Kao Zong's clone exclaimed excitedly, "Holy crap! If we can completely control this labyrinth, wouldn't we become the biggest landlords here? I'll be the king of the old graveyard! Wouldn't that be making money while lying down?"

Fuki said, "It's not that simple. The land doesn't belong to us. At most, we can only help restore production. We don't know how much we'll ultimately benefit from it. Besides... the key is how much control we have over this land. The stronger our control, the greater its value, and the more profits we can get."

"And if you don't have a powerful background, how can you protect your interests?"

Just then, Zhang Yu's perception of the maze entered a new stage.

In his perception, the entire maze was as if it were shrouded in a hazy mist, which became denser the deeper one went, repeatedly blocking the connection with the external spirit world.

"Is this why the spirit world is blocked?"

"So……"

With a thought, Zhang Yu transformed into a giant hand, gently brushing away the mist that enveloped the outside of the maze, allowing the spirit realm connection to re-cover the maze.

……

Kunxu, Level 15.

It is located in a settlement controlled by the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan.

Bu Ying Shu was looking at the list of dual cultivation practitioners in front of him with great boredom.

Recently, after her potential for immortality increased significantly, she has attracted a lot of attention, and her page views on the immortal race's dual cultivation matching platform have increased dramatically.

Despite the surge in page views, no immortals sent any match requests to Bu Ying Shu, making her feel slighted.

"I may disagree, but how can you not apply?"

"The fine for cultivating with me is only a few hundred million immortal coins, right? Am I not worth that much?"

“You all look down on me, but I’ll show you that I, Bu Yingshu, am the most powerful.”

Bu Yingshu glanced at Zhang Yu's profile picture again, thinking to herself, "Has this kid not messaged me for days? Does he want to get kicked?"

In Bu Yingshu's view, she had taken the other party for a drive and lent him the Immortal Shuttle. Shouldn't Zhang Yu be sending her messages every day, thinking about her all the time, and keeping her in the most important place in his heart every second?

"Why can't we contact the Immortal Shuttle either? Where did that kid go?"

"With his low level of cultivation, there are too many people in the top ten sects who could easily crush him. It's not impossible for something to happen to him."

The feeling that arose in Bu Yingshu's heart at this moment was similar to that of a pet cat that had sneaked out of the house and hadn't returned for several days, making one worry... afraid that the cat had been run over by a car, beaten to death, or bitten to death by a dog...

After much deliberation, Bu Yingshu was still uneasy, so he contacted his elders, wanting to send someone to investigate the old graveyard. "You filthy scoundrel, you wanted me to know you were alright, but you didn't tell me... Next time I'll crush you to pieces."

But shortly after Bu Yingshu sent people to investigate, she discovered that the Immortal Shuttle had resumed communication, and Zhang Yu was sending her a message through the Immortal Shuttle's dedicated connection.

Zhang Yu: Daoist Lord, thanks to your foresight, I managed to snatch the immortal inheritance from Ying Aikun.

……

The entrance to the experimental area.

Ling Chiye and the others were still observing the changes within the experimental area.

From their perspective, what they saw was the divine light represented by Ying Aikun colliding with the divine lights of other deities, illuminating the four directions with its own power.

Then Ying Aikun's divine light rapidly diminished until it disappeared without a trace.

In Ling Chi Ye's view, this was because Ying Ai Kun had defeated everyone, successfully obtained the immortal's inheritance, mastered the power of the grotto-heaven, and even obtained the grotto-heaven left behind by Ying Xin Tian, ​​ultimately entering it...

"Senior Ying is probably inside the cave now, familiarizing himself with its power..."

Just as Ling Chiye was thinking this, lines of notifications from the spirit world suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"Today, the average temperature in the old cemetery has reached -65 degrees Celsius. It's a cool, overcast day. You can take your bodies out and freeze them to prevent them from decomposing."

"Yin energy quality index: Excellent, suitable for astral projection and soul activity..."

Ling Chi Ye was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized: "The Spirit Realm has recovered? The Maze has covered the Spirit Realm again?"

Immediately afterward, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that after Senior Ying mastered the immortal inheritance, he also gained control over the labyrinth, which is why the spirit world was able to regain its connection?"

Thinking of this, a hint of envy flashed through Ling Chiye's heart.

He immediately sent a message to Ying Aikun: Senior Ying, congratulations. Now that you control the Enchanted Realm, your path to immortality is already smooth sailing.

However, Ying Aikun did not reply for a long time.

At the same time, various information about the spirit world also appeared before the eyes of the other cultivators around them, and they all realized that the spirit world had been restored.

Minister Qin Chuan sighed inwardly, "Is it over? Of all these Nascent Soul Divine Lights, only Ying Aikun ultimately disappeared... It seems that only he obtained the Immortal Inheritance and mastered the cave heaven of Ying Xintian, which allowed him to enter it and even help restore the connection to the spirit world here."

"Sigh, I knew it! How could the inheritance of immortals be openly competed for? It must have been decided beforehand. You Nascent Soul cultivators, one by one... Today you want to openly compete for the inheritance of immortals, tomorrow will you want to openly compete for the position of Immortal Emperor?"

While pondering, Qin Chuan had already sent a message to Jiang Xunyi: How did it go? I told you it would have been a waste of your time to go. The immortal inheritance was still taken by Ying Aikun, right?

Jiang Xunyi: No
The other party is typing...

Qin Chuan replied in surprise: Not Ying Aikun? Could it be cultivators from the Netherworld Palace or the White Bone Sect? Did they just win the siege?

Jiang Xunyi: It's Zhang Yu!
Qin Chuan: ? ? ?
Qin Chuan was shocked: "Zhang Yu? How could it be Zhang Yu? What does this have to do with Zhang Yu?"

Just as Qin Chuan was in shock, the experimental area in front of him had already changed again.

The darkness that had previously enveloped the entire field of vision suddenly dissipated with Zhang Yu's thought, revealing its true form to everyone.

Surrounded by beams of divine light symbolizing a Nascent Soul cultivator, Zhang Yu sat upright in the void, pressing Ying Aikun firmly to the ground with a single palm strike.

Beside Zhang Yu, the light and shadow within a radius of a thousand meters constantly changed, switching back and forth between the real world and the immortal grotto, demonstrating his control over the power of the grotto.

Qin Chuan stared in shock at this scene, thinking to himself, "Zhang Yu really did manage to seize the immortal's inheritance? Could this have been pre-arranged?"

On the other side, Ling Chiye of the Heavenly Demon Sect trembled and stared intently at Zhang Yu's location.

At this moment, countless thoughts surfaced in Ling Chi Ye's mind.

"How could Zhang Yu possibly defeat Ying Aikun?"

"What makes him think he can seize the immortal's inheritance?"

"Is the Wanfa Sect trying to exploit the Ying family's extinct lineage? Sending people to forcibly seize the Ying family's ancestral property?"

Although he was surprised, confused, and puzzled, he reacted immediately, shouting, "Zhang Yu! What are you doing?"

"Why aren't you releasing Senior Ying right now? You dare to injure a member of my Heavenly Demon Sect without a license! You have some nerve!"

At that moment, Ling Chiye thought to himself, "We have the upper hand in terms of law and reason. We need to define this matter first, and then reclaim the immortal's inheritance..."

At the same time, Ling Chiye also felt a sense of doubt: "The spirit world has reconnected, but why is Ying Aikun not reacting at all?"

In Ling Chi Ye's opinion, it would be good if Ying Ai Kun could activate his murder warrant at this moment.

A guess popped into Ling Chi Ye's mind: "Could it be that Zhang Yu dismantled everything on Ying Ai Kun's body that could connect to the spirit world? Or did he suppress his consciousness?"

Thinking of this, he perked up: "If that's the case, it's at least a minor injury, and his crime would be compounded."

At the same time, beams of divine light descended from the atmosphere.

With the re-covering of the spirit realm, the entire area within the maze once again returned to the sphere of influence of the divine power.

At this moment, as one righteous god after another descended upon the scene, their vast divine power swept across every corner, causing all the cultivators present to quickly gather their strength and dare not make a move again.

Ling Chi Ye immediately cast a spell, calling upon the righteous gods: "Zhang Yu, a disciple of the Wanfa Sect, has committed violence and injured my Heavenly Demon Level 4 Sect Affairs Officer, and has seized the ancestral property of the Ying Ai Kun family. Please capture him immediately!"

At the same time, Ling Chiye tapped the "add money" button several times on his spirit realm talisman to strengthen it.

Then Ling Chiye looked at Zhang Yu and shouted sternly, "Zhang Yu, you assaulted someone without a license and forcibly seized property. Surrender now and return the things to Ying Aikun, and you can pay less money."

Zhang Yu remained unmoved, still suppressing Ying Aikun with one hand, sitting upright in the void, looking as steady as Mount Tai, seemingly too lazy to refute Ling Chi Ye's words.

The next moment, beams of divine light converged towards Zhang Yu.

But at that moment, a cold snort came.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Bu Yingshu's Azure Sky-Splitting Immortal Shuttle reappeared, and Bu Yingshu's spiritual projection emerged from it.

When they heard Bu Yingshu's voice, the righteous gods who were preparing to take action against Zhang Yu did not take it seriously.

"Wait, wait what?" The god who was about to make his move glanced at the upgraded talisman and thought to himself, "It's none of your business to interfere when we're arresting people."

However, when Bu Yingshu's God-Slaying Certificate soared into the sky, warnings appeared in the eyes of all the righteous gods, and the righteous gods present immediately retreated one after another.

The leading deity said, "I think this labyrinth has been disconnected from the spirit world for too long. We need to investigate carefully what happened before, and we also need to discuss how to deal with the cultivators on site."

"Strongly support the leadership's decision [fist emoji]"

"Upholding justice is the only righteous path. [Hands clasped in prayer]"

"Everyone must remember the new rules of Heaven and enforce the law in a civilized manner. [Rose][Rose][Rose]"

After shouting away the countless righteous gods, Bu Yingshu carefully looked at Zhang Yu's location and sent a message asking, "You stole...you were granted the immortal inheritance of Ancestor Ying?"

Zhang Yu replied, "Thanks to your foresight, Daoist Lord, you saw the anomaly of this maze long ago. Not only did you arrange for me to come here, but you also lent me the Immortal Shuttle. Otherwise, this immortal inheritance would surely have fallen into the hands of Ying Aikun, that traitor of all laws."

At the same time, Zhang Yu also sent Bu Yingshu some of his experiences, after editing them.

While quickly glancing at the message, Bu Yingshu replied, "You did a great job."

She thought to herself, "Ying Xianren is still an immortal of our Wanfa sect. Even though he has become a criminal, his things cannot be taken to the Tianmo Sect by someone like Ying Aikun."

"Hehe, when the elders in my family find out that I sent someone to seize this immortal inheritance, they will definitely be shocked again."

Thinking of this, Bu Yingshu felt an urge to contact her family.

Just then, Ling Chiye said, "Lord Bu Dao, this immortal inheritance was left to future generations by Immortal Ying. Not only did your men injure Ying Aikun, but they also seized his ancestral property. This is a blatant violation of the law, and our Heavenly Demon Sect will never stand idly by."

Bu Yingshu glanced at him coldly and said, "Zhang Yu came on my orders to collect the illegal gains of Guizui Xianying Xintian. I lent him the Immortal Shuttle, which means I gave him all the relevant powers. It was Ying Aikun who stood in the wrong place and hindered the affairs of my Wanfa Sect. Even if you beat him to death, let alone hurt him, he deserves it."

Ling Chi Ye frowned upon hearing this, about to retort, but seeing the shuttle head turn around, he immediately said, "Bu Dao Jun! Peak Master Su Lingyou is currently in the Old Graveyard! Don't do anything rash!"

Bu Yingshu said, "Don't try to intimidate me with Su Lingyou. The Heavenly Demon Immortal Clan has no say in our Wanfa."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Just then, a thought descended, causing a commotion in the surrounding spirit realm, as if the small area of ​​the spirit realm could not bear that terrifying thought.

At the same time, a cold-faced projection of a young girl appeared in front of Bu Yingshu at some point, and said coldly, "Bu Yingshu, you have caused trouble in the Old Graveyard time and time again. Do you think this is the Myriad Laws Sect?"

Bu Yingshu wanted to speak, but Su Lingyou pressed down, and the surrounding spirit world trembled slightly. Bu Yingshu's projection froze in place, as if it had been frozen, and could no longer make any sound.

The countless righteous gods silently watched this scene. One god in the spirit realm said, "Is what Peak Master Su doing... illegally cutting off the internet? Is it alright for us to just watch like this?"

Another righteous god said, "She is a seventh-level Tribulation Transcending cultivator, the peak master of the Soul Devouring Peak of the Heavenly Demon Sect. She even participated in compiling the Information Law of the Spirit Realm. Her legal provisions are related matters. In the Spirit Realm, she is the law. How could she be breaking the law?"

At the same time, after freezing Bu Yingshu with one hand, Su Lingyou cast two more talismans on Zhang Yu.

In the spirit world, the leading deity: Time to get to work! [fist emoji]

A righteous god asked, "This Zhang Yu has the title of Master of a Hundred Billion Talismans..."

Another righteous god said, "What do we care about the billions in the lower realm? We'll still arrest them even if they come with hundreds of billions."

As Su Lingyou cast a restraint talisman, the gods transformed into golden hands that pressed down on Zhang Yu, binding all his movements.

Immediately afterward, another demolition talisman fell, and a large number of righteous gods descended with a roar, with warnings appearing before Zhang Yu.

"It has been discovered that the cave you possess is an unlicensed and illegal cave. The cave and the illegal proceeds within it will be frozen."

Cracks appeared in the sky, as if divine power capable of tearing space was descending from the heavens and directly entering Zhang Yu's cave, completely locking it in.

Zhang Yu made no futile resistance and allowed the Immortal's Grotto to be invaded.

Meanwhile, many righteous gods had already entered Zhang Yu's cave and began to seize the corpses and various resources within.

The spirit realm extended into it as well, with seals flashing in the air.

Almost instantly, Su Lingyou's two talismans fell, not only binding Zhang Yu but also locking his cave, sealing everything inside.

Ying Aikun, who had been suppressed on the ground, also got up.

He looked at Zhang Yu, who was being suppressed by the righteous gods, and suddenly felt powerful again. He sneered and said, "You beast, that old bastard is a traitor! You think his inheritance is easy to take? With your status, do you think you can legally and legitimately obtain this inheritance?"

Su Lingyou didn't even glance at Zhang Yu, but instead looked at the righteous god beside her, listening to the other party's report.

The righteous god said, "Peak Master Su, we'll keep the items for now. What are we to do with them...?"

Su Lingyou said calmly, "Just follow the procedure. I originally planned for my grandson Ying Aikun to collect this traitorous item and hand it over to the Heavenly Court and the sect for inspection before confirming its ownership."

After the spirit realm re-covered the maze, Su Lingyou realized that she could no longer hide the truth. She could only detain Zhang Yu first and then try to obtain the immortal's inheritance step by step according to the procedure.

With Ying Aikun's identity and Yun Taizhen's support, Su Lingyou was confident in completing all of this, but in the process... it would inevitably consume more costs.

Ying Aikun, standing to the side, secretly cursed, "Damn Zhang Yu... How much more money will we have to spend because of you this time?"

Meanwhile, many cultivators not far away watched this unexpected turn of events and were all secretly impressed.

Qin Chuan, the minister of Youxin Department, thought to himself, "It seems that Zhang Yu is not the predetermined candidate for the immortal succession. Ying Aikun is the predetermined candidate. The competition for the immortal succession is indeed full of dangers. We don't know the outcome until the very end."

Although Bu Yingshu's projection was frozen, he was still able to see everything on the scene through the spirit world.

Seeing her subordinate Zhang Yu being suppressed by Su Lingyou, she was both anxious and angry, like an incompetent husband watching helplessly as his wife was pinned to the ground by a group of burly men.

Just then, a talisman flashed on Zhang Yu's body.

"A talisman for reporting?" Su Lingyou scoffed inwardly. "You cast a spell in front of me?"

She was about to knock Zhang Yu's talisman away when it suddenly exploded, having already taken effect.

"A remote talisman? Someone crossed the spirit realm to cast this talisman for him?" Su Lingyou raised an eyebrow, her thoughts tracing back along the spirit realm until she finally saw Zhang Pianpian's figure disappear into the depths of the spirit realm.

At the same time, a righteous god descended at the summoning of the reporting talisman and looked at Zhang Yu.

"So you are Zhang Yu, the whistleblower who filed a report under your real name?"

All eyes turned to him, seemingly curious about what Zhang Yu had reported.

Ying Aikun sneered, "You poor bastard, do you think you can do anything to us with a measly report?"

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Yu spoke up: "I want to report the traitor Ying Xintian for colluding with Ying Aikun and the Taizhen Immortal Clan in an attempt to launder their illegal gains and transfer them abroad."

"In order to stop them from evading taxes and transferring illegal income, I had to temporarily relinquish the Immortal Inheritance."
