Chapter 872 Busy Zhang Yu, Bu Yingshu’s Soft Groan
After unlocking the Technique Aperture Chapter of the Feather Book and comprehending the information within, Zhang Yu let out a sigh in his heart.
“This is letting those who get rich first guide those who get rich later, letting the strong guide the weak, sharing my world-shaking talents with more people.”
After unlocking the Technique Aperture Chapter, every target whose Dao Seed Zhang Yu had copied possessed a Technique Aperture.
Zhang Yu could select one of his own Chain Formation Diagrams… and imprint it into this Technique Aperture, just like what he was doing with Yu Xinghan right now.
As the possessor of the Third Eye Mystic Power Dao Seed, after Zhang Yu imprinted the Nascent Soul Sacred Body Chain Method Diagram Set into him, Yu Xinghan received the blessing of the Nascent Soul Sacred Body.
And the effects of the Nascent Soul Sacred Body were: an increase in the distance the Nascent Soul could leave the body, an enhancement of the blessing effects of the Nascent Soul cultivation art, as well as strengthening the cultivation efficiency and cultivation effects of the Nascent Soul cultivation art.
Furthermore, under the effect of the Infinite Chain Formation Diagram, Zhang Yu had already pushed the Nascent Soul Sacred Body from the foundational ten layers to 25 layers, and the aforementioned strengthening effects were also boosted by as much as 140%.
At this moment, in Yu Xinghan’s perception, his own thoughts and mind… seemed to become much clearer in an instant, and he gained a deeper and more wondrous understanding of the various cultivation arts of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Even the breathing technique circulating within his body began to operate violently at this instant, erupting with a surging momentum as if letting out a loud boom.
And Yu Xinghan also quickly felt that not just the breathing technique, but also his own mental cultivation technique, and even the operational effects of various martial arts, were skyrocketing! Surging madly! Growing wildly!
“Me?” Yu Xinghan felt all of this in shock; his first reaction was not pleasant surprise, but fear.
“Did I fall into some advertisement trap? Or did I… accidentally overspend somewhere? To enhance so many things for me?”
Just like all cultivators who found their magic power suddenly skyrocketing, Yu Xinghan’s first worry… was whether he had clicked the wrong thing and accidentally taken out a loan for some Immortal Dao power somewhere.
But in the next moment, Zhang Yu lightly patted Yu Xinghan’s shoulder and, through the Evil God Power, asked in the other party’s mind, “How does it feel?”
“Did you do this?”
Seeing Zhang Yu nod slightly, Yu Xinghan finally let out a sudden sigh of relief.
And Zhang Yu, feeling the muscles on Yu Xinghan’s shoulder gradually stiffen, silently withdrew his palm and thought to himself, “Xinghan has also worked hard to promote the company.”
At the same time, he sensed and confirmed once again that the Soul Cultivators on Yu Xinghan’s body were all in a shielded state.
Yu Xinghan, however, remembered the existence of the Evil God Power and asked, “Is it the Evil God Power?”
Zhang Yu replied, “Sort of. Through the Evil God Power, I shared a part of my talent with you.”
Yu Xinghan was slightly taken aback. “Your talent? And it’s just… a part?”
Hearing Zhang Yu’s words, Yu Xinghan immediately fell into shock.
Feeling the fierce operation of the cultivation art within his body, and feeling the unprecedentedly thorough state of the cultivation art contents in his mind, Yu Xinghan thought to himself, “Is this how Zhang Yu usually feels? And it’s just… a part.”
He knew that Zhang Yu’s talent should be above his own, but he didn’t expect it to be this much.
Just as Yu Xinghan was shocked in his heart, Zhang Yu began to instruct him on the related martial arts of the Nascent Soul Sacred Body.
“…I have selected a few martial arts. When you have free time later, you can try cultivating them. Perhaps you can obtain more of my talent’s blessings.”
This was another major function after the Feather Book opened the Technique Aperture Chapter.
After the Technique Aperture was infused into the Chain Formation Diagram, a cultivator only needed to cultivate the related cultivation arts under the Chain Formation Diagram to continue upgrading the level of the Chain Formation Diagram, just like Zhang Yu.
Just like at this moment, Zhang Yu specially selected a Nascent Soul Realm basic cultivation art for Yu Xinghan. As long as Yu Xinghan continued to cultivate it, he could upgrade the level of the Nascent Soul Sacred Body.
Of course, the related cultivation arts that Yu Xinghan cultivated must be ones that had not yet been counted into the Chain Formation Diagram.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, “I originally thought… after I broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, this Nascent Soul Sacred Body would be useless. I didn’t expect that it could actually be used by others.”
Zhang Yu even thought that if he could continuously search for and copy new Dao Seeds, this Nascent Soul Sacred Body could be passed down from generation to generation, continuously being used by new generations of Nascent Soul Cultivators.
And as long as each generation of Nascent Soul Cultivators cultivated the relevant arts, they could feed back the Nascent Soul Sacred Body, making the Nascent Soul Sacred Body stronger and stronger generation after generation, bringing greater reinforcement to future Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu had already made a decision in his heart: “In the future, the Sect Staff newly recruited from the Lower Realm every year can first serve as assistants by my side for a period of time.”
Zhang Yu believed that the Heavenly Chosen who could fight their way out of the ten universities of the lower realm and enter the sect in the future would definitely be existences with extraordinary Immortal Dao Potential.
Spending a period of time every year contacting these Heavenly Chosen would definitely allow him to find Dao Seed owners among them.
Their Dao Seeds might not all be useful to the current Zhang Yu, but at least… they themselves could feed back the Chain Formation Diagram.
Ever since he opened the Infinite Chain Formation Diagram, Zhang Yu felt that the Chain Formation Diagrams he needed to upgrade were becoming more and more, and even with a talent as powerful as his, he felt like he couldn’t keep up with upgrading them.
But with more and more Dao Seed owners to help him upgrade the Chain Formation Diagrams in the future, the efficiency would naturally be greatly improved.
While thoughts were surging in Zhang Yu’s mind, Yu Xinghan had already started trying out the cultivation of the relevant martial arts.
Possessing the Third Eye mystic power, he already had an exceptional advantage in martial dao cultivation.
And now, after being enhanced by the Nascent Soul Sacred Body, this advantage was magnified to an unprecedented degree.
After watching the instructional video once at an accelerated speed, Yu Xinghan felt that not only had he mastered the basics, but he had even pushed this cultivation art to the first level.
Following just one minute of cultivation, he had advanced this cultivation art to the second level.
Yu Xinghan could not help but marvel again in his heart, “Is this… how Zhang Yu feels when he cultivates normally? It’s really… so freaking awesome!”
“No, and this is just a portion of Zhang Yu’s talent? Then what does it feel like… when he truly cultivates?”
At this moment, Yu Xinghan felt that he finally understood the gap in talent between the two of them. He could not help but sigh inwardly, “Without sharing his talent, looking at him was like a frog in a well gazing at the moon in the sky. After sharing a portion of his talent, looking at him is like a mayfly gazing at the vast blue sky. No wonder I could never catch up to him. This kind of talent… can it really belong to someone born in the First Layer of Kunxu?”
Recalling Zhang Yu’s various experiences, Yu Xinghan could not help but think to himself, “Is Zhang Yu really not the reincarnation of some Immortal?”
Then, looking at Zhang Yu beside him, Yu Xinghan could not help but ask, “Minister, who exactly is our backer up there?”
Zhang Yu said, “We both came up through the Sect Examination. If we are talking about backers… then naturally, our only backer is the Immortal Emperor.”
Yu Xinghan thought to himself, “He won’t even tell me?”
The Sect Examination Clone shouted, “Zhang Yu! Explain yourself clearly! Which Immortal Emperor is our backer? Is it the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor? Or the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor? Now you aren’t even willing to say that you are only loyal to the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor! Taking dual sect membership and being a double-salary house slave, are you worthy of the Myriad Laws Sect’s nurturing?”
Facing the Sect Examination Clone’s questioning, Zhang Yu could not be bothered to answer and directly chose to mute him.
Next, after sending Yu Xinghan away, Zhang Yu called over Senior Sister Ye Xingli.
With Ye Xingli, Zhang Yu naturally could not say as much as he did with Yu Xinghan.
Therefore, Zhang Yu changed his method. Under the guise of guiding her cultivation art, he guided Ye Xingli in practicing the cultivation art while inserting the Nascent Soul Sacred Body into her Technique Aperture.
After Ye Xingli was guided by Zhang Yu in this manner, the moment the Nascent Soul Sacred Body was inserted into her Technique Aperture, her cultivation art circulated fiercely throughout her body. Strands of muscle and tendons suddenly pulled taut under the circulation of the cultivation art, making her feel as if every single particle in her entire body was screaming.
At this moment, her mind seemed to go blank for a split second, and then her understanding and comprehension of the cultivation art underwent an earth-shattering change all at once.
It was unprecedented, an incredibly wonderful feeling that broke through her original restraints, making Ye Xingli feel as if she were floating in the clouds.
“I am afraid that the salary climax the Soul Cultivators talk about when they get a raise… is not even this thrilling,” Ye Xingli thought to herself.
“Junior Brother…” Ye Xingli could not help but look at Zhang Yu and ask, “What is going on with this guidance of yours? Why is it… so comfortable?”
“Comfortable? Then that is right,” Zhang Yu said. “This is a cultivation guide tailor-made for you, Senior Sister, based on my own cultivation experience combined with your specific situation.”
“It is to inject my experience into the deepest depths of your body to stimulate the potential within you.”
“With your potential liberated, cultivating and circulating any cultivation art is more effective and easier than before, so how could it not be comfortable?”
Ye Xingli nodded and exclaimed in admiration, “After this guidance of yours, I feel as if I have been completely reborn, somewhat like the sudden enlightenment of the Dao in ancient legends.”
During her time at the university, Ye Xingli, as an academic overachiever, had experience guiding others and helping them make rapid progress.
When she used to attend tutoring classes, she had also experienced rapid improvement under the guidance of top-tier teachers.
She understood this type of event, but the feeling brought about by Zhang Yu’s guidance today far exceeded all her past experiences.
Ye Xingli couldn’t help but ask, “Junior Brother, can this service of yours be sold?”
She was already imagining the scene of selling it in her livestream.
Zhang Yu shook his head, “This is tailor-made, there is no way to mass-produce it.”
A trace of pity flashed through Ye Xingli’s eyes, and then another thought surged up.
She wanted to ask her Junior Brother if he could give her another session, guide her a bit more, continue to pour experience into her body, and stimulate her potential.
But Ye Xingli also knew that Zhang Yu, as the head of the department and the company, was extremely busy every day, and helping her like this today was already rare.
Unless she paid… but Ye Xingli figured she probably couldn’t afford Zhang Yu’s service fee.
Seeming to see through Ye Xingli’s thoughts, Zhang Yu smiled and said, “Senior Sister, I am quite busy on a normal basis, so I might not be able to serve you like I did today.”
“But you can help yourself.”
Zhang Yu then provided a list of cultivation arts, all of which were related to the Nascent Soul Sacred Body.
This batch of cultivation arts was different from the ones Zhang Yu had selected for Yu Xinghan; they did not overlap with each other, of course.
“Senior Sister,” Zhang Yu introduced, “These are the cultivation arts I specifically selected for you. Following the feeling I guided you with, continue to cultivate these 11 cultivation arts to level 40, and you should be able to further unleash your potential in the future.”
Hearing Zhang Yu’s words, Ye Xingli’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, saying, “I will definitely cultivate these cultivation arts every day.”
Watching Ye Xingli’s fading back, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Once Yu Xinghan and senior sister cultivate to the Nascent Soul Peak, I will be able to swap them to another set of Chain Formation Diagrams.”
Zhang Yu understood that the main effect of the Nascent Soul Sacred Body was to improve cultivation efficiency in the Nascent Soul Realm. With this enhancement… Ye Xingli and Yu Xinghan should be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Peak very soon.
“When that time comes, it might be more suitable to swap senior sister to the Artifact Refinement Prodigy.”
“As for Yu Xinghan…” A series of Chain Formation Diagram choices surfaced in Zhang Yu’s mind.
After sending Ye Xingli off, Zhang Yu looked at his contact list again.
Zhang Pianpian: “Let’s talk at the usual place.”
Le Mulan: “It’s a critical moment in research and development recently, I can’t really come out.”
Bai Zhenzhen: “I’ll come over after I get off work.”
Zhang Pianpian with the Supreme Clarity Realm talisman, Le Mulan with the Profound Cold Meridian, and Bai Zhenzhen with the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo, were all owners of Dao Seeds.
And if Zhang Yu wanted to inject the Chain Formation Diagram into their Technique Apertures as well, it involved another restriction of the Technique Aperture Chapter of the Feather Book.
We must be face to face… in order to operate.
That was why Zhang Yu had sent messages to each of the Dao Seed owners on his contact list.
Looking at his elder sister’s reply, Zhang Yu thought to himself, In the Supreme Clarity Realm… if it’s not a physical body face-to-face encounter, I’m afraid it’s impossible to inject into the Technique Aperture.
Zhang Yu then looked at Le Mulan’s reply and thought to himself, “As expected, Le Mulan can’t come out for now.”
In fact, even if Le Mulan could come out to meet him, because she was currently involved with the Myriad Laws Sect’s pharmaceutical enterprise, Zhang Yu did not plan to inject into her Technique Aperture for the time being, to avoid causing unnecessary disputes.
“I can’t interfere with the pharmaceutical enterprise’s matters for now.”
Although Zhang Yu wielded great power in the Former Days Graveyard, his main influence was limited to this minor realm. To the outside world, the most he could affect… was the Soul Cultivator Industry.
Perhaps I will only be able to interfere with Le Mulan’s situation after I reach the Void Refinement Realm.
While Zhang Yu was pondering in his heart, Magnetic Pole arrived at his invitation.
Magnetic Pole looked at Zhang Yu curiously: “What is the matter that you called me over so hurriedly?”
The Chain Formation Diagram Zhang Yu wanted to match with Magnetic Pole was the Spirit Transformation Dao Body.
Although Magnetic Pole had stepped into the Spirit Transformation Realm for several years and some basic stats might be approaching the peak, her progress in the ten divine light transformations was not very good.
After all, whether in the lower realm or within the sect, Magnetic Pole lacked the conditions to push forward the progress of the Divine Light Tenth Transformation.
And the Spirit Transformation Dao Body could not only improve the cultivation efficiency of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but also greatly enhance the progress of the ten divine light transformations just by soaking the Primordial Spirit in the Spirit Transformation Pool.
“The Spirit Transformation Dao Body can greatly expand Teacher Magnetic Pole’s cultivation efficiency and future limit. At the same time… it can also feed back to me, further upgrading the Spirit Transformation Dao Body and increasing the efficiency of my ten divine light transformations.”
But Zhang Yu also understood that precisely because the strengthening effect brought by the Spirit Transformation Dao Body was so astonishing, it was absolutely not something that could be simply glossed over.
Thus, facing Magnetic Pole, Zhang Yu changed his explanation: “Teacher, you might already know this, but the upper echelons of the Myriad Laws Sect… have someone supporting me.”
Magnetic Pole’s gaze flickered slightly. Although she had long had her suspicions, this was the first time she had heard Zhang Yu bring it up on his own initiative.
Zhang Yu continued, “The higher-ups gave me a treasure, which is this Spirit Transformation Pool.”
Bringing Magnetic Pole to the Spirit Transformation Pool where his Primordial Spirit had been soaking all along, Zhang Yu added, “As long as the Primordial Spirit is continuously soaked in this Spirit Transformation Pool, it can receive multiple enhancements. Not only does it increase the cultivation efficiency of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but it can also gradually push forward the ten divine light transformations.”
“So ever since breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, I have been soaking my Primordial Spirit in this Spirit Transformation Pool.”
Hearing Zhang Yu’s words, Magnetic Pole was slightly taken aback, and then carefully observed the Spirit Transformation Pool in front of her.
After some observation, Magnetic Pole naturally could not see anything special about this Spirit Transformation Pool, but she did not mind it.
“It is normal that I cannot see through the technology of the higher-ups.”
“Ever since Zhang Yu broke through to Spirit Transformation, I have noticed he hasn’t used his Primordial Spirit. So this is what was going on… Has it been soaking in the Spirit Transformation Pool all this time?”
Magnetic Pole silently observed the Primordial Spirit in the Spirit Transformation Pool and was surprised to find that Zhang Yu’s Primordial Spirit had already entered the third divine light transformation state.
“So fast? Zhang Yu broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm only about a year ago, right? The technology given by the higher-ups is indeed incredible.”
Regarding Zhang Yu’s words, Magnetic Pole chose to believe them completely.
It was not just because the various signs matched up, but even more so because of Magnetic Pole’s inherent trust in Zhang Yu.
“Teacher,” Zhang Yu continued, “you should also soak your Primordial Spirit inside and give it a try.”
Magnetic Pole asked in surprise, “I can do it too?”
She hesitated and said, “Will it be inappropriate? Let’s just forget it. The higher-ups rewarded this thing to you. If I also tag along to use it, will your leaders be unhappy?”
According to Magnetic Pole’s understanding, the various equipment, benefits, and policies of Kunxu often had strict limitations on who they applied to, and this was even more true for items rewarded by the leaders.
Thinking of this, Magnetic Pole advised, “You have just made a contribution and barely gained a firm foothold in the sect, so absolutely do not make the leaders angry. I still have to stay in the Spirit Transformation Realm for a long time anyway, so I will just cultivate slowly.”
Zhang Yu said, “It is fine. I have applied for permission from the higher-ups, so now you can also soak your Primordial Spirit inside. Teacher, just give it a try.”
Magnetic Pole was slightly surprised. After confirming it with Zhang Yu once more, she felt a surge of joy, released her Primordial Spirit, and plunged it into the Spirit Transformation Pool before her.
At the exact moment Magnetic Pole sent in her Primordial Spirit, Zhang Yu also injected the Spirit Transformation Dao Body into her Technique Aperture.
In an instant, Magnetic Pole felt her cultivation arts circulating fiercely. Her control over her Primordial Spirit and her understanding of the Spirit Transformation cultivation art were all rising steadily.
After a long while, she finally took a deep breath and said, “Incredible. Zhang Yu, the sect’s higher-ups really value you to actually give you such a good thing. You must perform well and seize this opportunity.”
Then she looked at Zhang Yu with some expectation, “Old Gao, did he…”
Zhang Yu slightly turned his head away and said, “Teacher Gao’s application wasn’t approved.”
“Oh… oh.”
Magnetic Pole nodded and said, “It’s fine, this is normal. You don’t need to take it to heart.”
Following that, Zhang Yu sent a list of Spirit Transformation Realm basic cultivation arts to Magnetic Pole and said, “Teacher, remember to cultivate these cultivation arts more when you have time. Cultivating them to level 50 will help the connection between the Primordial Spirit and the physical body, and can prevent the side effects of having the Primordial Spirit soaking in the Spirit Transformation Pool for long periods of time…”
To Magnetic Pole, the unknown technology in the Spirit Transformation Pool was the cutting-edge Immortal Dao Technology of the sect’s higher-ups. Since she could not understand it, she just needed to follow the instructions. She immediately accepted the cultivation art list and promised to cultivate every day.
And right after Zhang Yu finished making arrangements for Magnetic Pole, Bu Yingshu had once again descended upon the Former Days Graveyard, calling out to him.
“Bu Yingshu…” Looking at the Void Refinement Dao Monarch before him, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “The possessor of the Dao Seed Myriad Laws Immortal Clan.”
Towards Bu Yingshu, Zhang Yu naturally could not trust her the same way he trusted Yu Xinghan, Magnetic Pole, or Ye Xingli.
In his view, finding an excuse to imprint a Chain Formation Diagram on Bu Yingshu, making her cultivate for the Chain Formation Diagram so that it could feed back into the Chain Formation Diagram… the risks involved were simply too great.
Fu Ji, however, let out a chuckle. “Some people’s money is easy to swindle but hard to earn.”
“If we genuinely help Bu Yingshu, and then have her provide feedback to us, with both sides pursuing a win-win situation… that would be very difficult.”
“But if we use some method to weaken her, deceive her, and control her, then it becomes very easy to handle.”
Right as Fu Ji was speaking, Bu Yingshu was holding onto Zhang Yu, studying a cultivation art together.
But in the next instant, Bu Yingshu suddenly felt a shiver run through her body.
At the same time, Zhang Yu had already injected the Great Sage’s Heir diagram into her Technique Aperture.
The sudden influx of power caused Bu Yingshu to involuntarily let out a soft groan.
The next moment, this soft groan exploded across the entire Eleventh Layer of Kunxu.
