Chapter 957 Conclusion, 95%

“Don’t come over here!”

Sensing the other party’s movements, Zhang Yu immediately entered the Overlimit State. His physical strength erupted explosively and reached the Tribulation Transcendence level. The power bursting from the Blazing Sun Meridian caused his flesh and blood to boil violently, wildly distorting the surrounding atmosphere as if it had ignited.

The surging monstrous strength caused every fiber of flesh and blood in Zhang Yu’s body to abruptly tighten, his only thought to immediately break free from the embrace.

Immortal Slayer reminded, “Zhang Yu, although your external identity is a social expert…”

“But we all know your skills in this area are too poor. If you clash with him head-on, I’m afraid you won’t be able to resist a few hits before suffering a crushing defeat and collapsing completely. Because of the disparity in dual cultivation skills, lust quotient, and other aspects, you might even turn into a lunatic obsessed with the other party’s body and the Dao of Yin-Yang harmony…”

Zhang Yu said in his heart, “Do I need you to remind me?”

Fu Ji sighed inwardly, “Sigh, it would have been better if we had just left the Yang Artifact with Bu Yingshu last time and registered it under her name. That way, when the Coitus Conscription came, they would have gone to her. As long as she hid the Yang Artifact inside her body, what could anyone do to her?”

Venerable Myriad Affinity laughed heartily and said, “Dao Monarch Zhang, when you cultivate together with Bu Yingshu, are you also like this?”

In Venerable Myriad Affinity’s eyes, Zhang Yu, who had recently risen to fame in the Myriad Laws Dual cultivation world and whose crotch schedule was supposedly booked ten years in advance, was a worthy opponent that he had to cut in line to match against.

And Zhang Yu’s current behavior, in his view, was nothing more than a deliberate display of weakness to conceal his true strength.

“Trying to intentionally disguise yourself to make me underestimate you?”

Venerable Myriad Affinity sneered in his heart: “If that is truly the case, then you, Zhang Yu, underestimate the Joyful Union Sect far too much, and you underestimate me, Venerable Myriad Affinity, far too much.”

At this moment, the sect’s teachings and the Immortal Clan’s guidance seemed to surface in Venerable Myriad Affinity’s mind.

“Just because the other party is a weakling, a poor person, you don’t make a move?”

“Just because the other party is a monsterfolk, a beast, you have to yield?”

“Just because the other party is an immortal or a god, you don’t even dare to think about it?”

The upper-tier cultivator’s teachings flashed across his mind, and Venerable Myriad Affinity thought to himself, “Do not refrain from acting because they are weak; do not refrain from cultivating because they are poor. Regardless of whether you are strong or weak, poor or rich, human or monster, immortal or god, everything in this heaven and earth… is all within my Joyful Union Sect’s Dao of Yin-Yang harmony. This is the true Dual Cultivation Righteous Path.”

The thoughts flashed through his mind, and Venerable Myriad Affinity let out a loud shout, thrusting himself forward.

“Dao Monarch Zhang, since you are hesitant to take the initiative to instruct me, then allow me to show my inadequacy. Please, take one of my moves first…”

A sudden chill abruptly rose in Zhang Yu’s heart. Feeling the oppressive power of Venerable Myriad Affinity from the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, Zhang Yu had already activated the power of his numerous clones within his body.

“No, I can only use my clones to stall him first. As long as I can delay a little longer…”

Zhang Yu believed that with a total of 72 clones taking turns to resist, they would definitely be able to stall for enough time.

As for who would control the clones to defend…

Zhang Yu said in his heart, “Immortal Slayer, Desolate Ox, Sect Examination Clone, this is the time to show your skills in a crisis. It’s all up to you today!”

And right at this moment of their fierce battle, a figure suddenly soared into the sky. Carrying waves of Tribulation Transcendence Pressure, the figure stepped down from the clouds step by step, walking towards the two of them.

The person making his entrance at this moment was none other than Tai Yuebai, who commanded the Dual Rest Law Edict.

When Zhang Yu participated in the Law Establishment last year and first saw the numerous students in the law establishment training, he had observed that even before Law Establishment… Tai Yuebai, just like Lie Jinghong, Di Xuan, and Bu Yingshu, possessed a rank higher than their cultivation realm. They all held Tribulation Transcendence Certificates while still in the Void Refinement Realm.

Zhang Yu was not surprised by this. After all, looking at it back then, the comprehensive strength of Tai Yuebai and the other three — their abilities, backgrounds, assets, and so on — was among the absolute top tier of all the senior Void Refinement cultivators prior to Law Establishment.

And after Law Establishment ended, Tai Yuebai and the other three seized the time and successively broke through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, becoming the first batch of cultivators among the students to reach the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

Now, with nearly a year having passed, Tai Yuebai had firmly established his footing in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. The surging pressure he erupted with at this moment was not the slightest bit weaker than Venerable Myriad Affinity’s.

Seeing Tai Yuebai’s appearance, Zhang Yu immediately shouted, “Big Brother Tai! Dual Rest!”

Zhang Yu understood that Coitus Conscription was also a part of work, and similarly fell within the scope of Tai Yuebai’s time off.

Especially since Tai Yuebai had already stepped into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, he could completely suppress a Law Edict of the Void Refinement Realm.

Hearing Zhang Yu’s shout, Venerable Myriad Affinity looked at Tai Yuebai warily: “Brother Tai, everything follows the Dao of first come, first served; you can’t just casually cut in line. If you’re willing, how about I go first and you go next?” ¹

Neither paying attention to Venerable Myriad Affinity’s invitation nor accepting Zhang Yu’s plea for help, Tai Yuebai chose to refuse.

Tai Yuebai simply said, “Zhang Yu, today is not a Dual Rest day.”

Zhang Yu: “Big Brother Tai, I know you can take compensatory leave…”

Tai Yuebai said righteously, “Zhang Yu, Dual Rest is a righteous law of heaven and earth. How can it be easily changed and adjusted just on a whim?”

“Moreover, your Law Edict is currently ranked 29 among the Void Refinement laws. Even if the opponent has already slipped to 15th place, you are still inferior to them in Thought Tide Amplification. Thus, in a direct conflict, it’s only right that you abide by their law as well.”

“Even if I adjust your days off for you today, you can hide today, but you cannot hide tomorrow or the day after. There will always be a moment when you have to face it.”

Hearing Tai Yuebai’s words, Zhang Yu could sense that his mind was made up; clearly, he wouldn’t easily grant him a schedule change.

Meanwhile, the situation regarding that encrypted message surfaced in Tai Yuebai’s mind.

Ever since receiving this encrypted message, Tai Yuebai had been constantly trying to decrypt and investigate it, wanting to figure out what Yun Taizhen’s exact goal was.

During this process, Tai Yuebai had also discovered… the encrypted message was continuously unsealing itself. Even if he did nothing at all, this encrypted message would eventually be completely released.

And no matter how he tried to crack it, he seemingly couldn’t speed up or slow down this process.

Tai Yuebai felt that this encrypted message… was like an alarm clock set by Supreme Truth. As the countdown ticked away second by second, the moment this alarm would go off was getting closer and closer.

“And the exact time the alarm will ring…”

Just as Tai Yuebai was estimating the unsealing speed of the encrypted message.

61%

“Here it comes again.”

“The feeling of the new Dao Lineage gradually embedding itself into the world.”

Tai Yuebai thought to himself, “If the progress of the Dao Lineage continues at this current speed… just going on like this.”

“Then the moment the encrypted message is completely unsealed, it seems that it will also be the moment this New Dao Lineage is completed.”

“Why did Supreme Truth set the time for the alarm to ring at the exact moment the Dao Lineage is completed?”

In addition, Tai Yuebai also discovered during this process that the encrypted message was gradually releasing some scenes that only he could see.

Those earth-shattering scenes of Kunxu overturning made even Tai Yuebai feel a burst of alarm.

“I can’t reach Senior Ying for the time being, so I must also make preparations early.”

“The number of compensatory days off within a certain period is limited. I need to accumulate my time off during this period to use later, I can’t waste it on Zhang Yu.”

“However…” Tai Yuebai looked at Zhang Yu, thinking to himself, “I can’t let Zhang Yu fall here either.”

“His action of freezing the law edicts might be the key to stopping the new Dao Lineage and preventing the birth of the 11th Immortal Emperor.”

Thinking of this, Tai Yuebai had already made up his mind.

Tai Yuebai was heard speaking… Picking up on the previous topic of Dual Rest, he continued, “Zhang Yu, compensatory leave is not a tool for you to seek personal gain. You’d better properly fulfill your Coitus Conscription.”

The next moment, Tai Yuebai’s figure flickered as he quickly retreated, looking as if he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Just when Zhang Yu thought Tai Yuebai was truly leaving, a voice transmission from the latter echoed in his mind, “Zhang Yu, once I enter your Immortal Grotto-Heaven, I will fend him off for you.”

“Enter my Immortal Grotto-Heaven? Fend him off for me? But this is the Coitus Conscription…” Hearing this, just as doubts began to rise in his mind, Zhang Yu sensed a familiar figure cross the Grotto-Heaven Bridge and slip into his Immortal Grotto-Heaven.

This Grotto-Heaven Bridge was deliberately left here by Zhang Yu so he could descend upon this minor realm at any time and borrow Tai Yuebai’s Dual Rest power…

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “I obviously hid this Grotto-Heaven Bridge very deeply. Did Tai Yuebai know about it all along? As expected… as Senior Ying’s other designated successor and the inheritor of the Reformist Faction, his understanding of spatial technology is also incredible.”

At the same time, under Zhang Yu’s shocked gaze, Tai Yuebai’s physical body shifted and unexpectedly transformed into Zhang Yu’s appearance.

What shocked him even more was that, under the effect of the Dao Seed [Myriad Transformations], even the Spirit Realm and Dharma Realm information emitted from Tai Yuebai’s body was completely identical to Zhang Yu’s.

Meanwhile, Tai Yuebai’s aura also rapidly plummeted, dropping from the Tribulation Transcendence Realm down to the Void Refinement Realm.

“What?!” Zhang Yu thought to himself. “There is actually such an ability? Is this martial arts? Daoist arts? Or a Dao Seed ability?”

At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder, “It’s a transformation without a single flaw, and he transformed into me so effortlessly. Does he do this often?”

Thinking of this, a trace of suspicion couldn’t help but well up in Zhang Yu’s heart: “Has he secretly been doing things using my identity?”

Then, Tai Yuebai wriggled the flesh and blood of his body and said indifferently, “Let’s begin, Zhang Yu. From here on, I will take your place… and fight a round with him.”

Hearing Tai Yuebai’s confident words, Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to trust him this once.

Thus, amidst a burst of Grotto-Heaven Manifestation, he swapped spatial positions with Tai Yuebai, who was inside the Immortal Grotto-Heaven. Zhang Yu retreated into the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, while Tai Yuebai appeared in the Material World, materializing exactly where Zhang Yu had just been standing.

Sensing a sudden surge of Grotto-Heaven force before him, Venerable Myriad Affinity thought his opponent was trying to run away again. Just as he was about to force his way into the other party’s Immortal Grotto-Heaven, he saw a flash of movement as Zhang Yu (Tai Yuebai) appeared once more.

Whether it was the aura, cultivation realm, various Spirit Realm and Dharma Realm information, or even the circulation of the Law Edict, everything confirmed to him that the person before him was Zhang Yu.

However, the other party’s expression had changed. Venerable Myriad Affinity felt a sense of determination, seriousness, and an indomitable momentum from him.

Venerable Myriad Affinity said, “Oh? Are you finally getting serious? Do you not plan on running away anymore?”

Inside the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, Zhang Yu, who was observing this scene, thought to himself, “To think it can even fool a Law Edict? This transformation ability is simply miraculous…”

“I want it!” Fu Ji said. “Zhang Yu! I want this too! This is simply the most perfect scamming skill!!”

The Sect Examination Clone said, “Tai Yuebai is disguising his strength, can he hold his own against Venerable Myriad Affinity? What if he can’t withstand it during the martial duel and reveals his true form?”

Zhang Yu was also unsure of how this battle would turn out and could only watch closely.

But the next moment, he saw Tai Yuebai already taking the initiative to meet Venerable Myriad Affinity.

The figures of the two were shrouded in a layer of clouds and mist, and in the blink of an eye, the sounds of intense, overlapping combat erupted. Whether it was the magic power radiation index or the observation indicators for their physical body and vital energy, both began to show drastic changes, triggering waves of alarms that spread to countless cultivators within the minor realm.

Suddenly, Venerable Myriad Affinity let out a soft and sweet female voice, seemingly mixed with a trace of shock, a trace of surprise, and a trace of joy, “Zhang Yu, to think that in the Myriad Laws Sect, there is an expert like you?”

The next moment, his voice became rough and masculine again, “Good, good, good! As expected of the dual cultivation prodigy and social expert of this generation in the Myriad Laws Sect, today we shall fight to our hearts’ content!”

Hiding with all his might and watching this scene from the side, Zhang Yu was amazed in his heart, “Big Brother Tai is actually this amazing at dual cultivation techniques?”

Fu Ji said, “Perhaps Ying Xintian passed it on to him? After all, if his dual cultivation techniques weren’t formidable, how did Ying Xintian suppress Yun Taizhen back then?”

Immortal Slayer shouted, “Stop your nonsense! Tai Yuebai is doing this to fight against the Demonic Path, willingly enduring the disgust in his heart to learn advanced techniques.”

“Zhang Yu, in this regard, you are inferior to him.”

Zhang Yu nodded slightly and tried to send a voice transmission to Tai Yuebai, “Big Brother Tai, are you alright? Can you still hold on?”

Tai Yuebai replied, “Hmph, how do you think Senior Ying managed to withstand the Ten Suns’ Demise of that Immortal Venerable from the Joyful Union Sect back then? There’s still too much of his skill you haven’t learned.”

Tai Yuebai thought to himself, “After all, I am Senior Ying’s true final successor.”

Zhang Yu: “Ah?”

Tai Yuebai continued to reply, “Zhang Yu, what are you surprised about? In your eyes, are Senior Ying or I some old-fashioned, rigidly conservative people?”

“Nowadays, the Demonic Path runs rampant across the world, and the development of Immortal Dao Technology is also inseparable from the Demonic Path. Therefore, if we want to beat them, we must control the demonic with the righteous.”

“If they act as demons, we must be even more demonic than them.”

“If they are treacherous, we must be even more treacherous!”

“Otherwise, how could we possibly beat them?”

---

Above the minor realm, Venerable Serpent Lust had descended his projection at some unknown point.

Or rather, he had always been tracking the operation of the Coitus Conscription, tracing the whereabouts of Zhang Yu and Venerable Myriad Affinity.

However, when he saw Venerable Myriad Affinity and Zhang Yu (Tai Yuebai) begin to fulfill the Coitus Conscription, he thought he would witness the scene of Zhang Yu facing complete suppression.

Although it wasn’t what he had originally planned, in his eyes, it was still enough to delay Zhang Yu’s Law Edict freezing operation.

But to his shock, Zhang Yu actually managed to endure head-on against Venerable Myriad Affinity all the way until the Coitus Conscription concluded…

He did not show the slightest sign of defeat, nor did he show any signs of indulging in it or having his mind distorted.

“This person’s dual cultivation technique is actually this formidable?”

Thinking about how he had originally considered personally attempted to suppress the other party, Venerable Serpent Lust couldn’t help but feel a wave of lingering fear, secretly glad that he hadn’t done so.

But soon, his heart was filled with new worries.

The failure of this operation not only failed to hinder Zhang Yu, but also caused Zhu Yan to suffer severe injuries.

Next, Venerable Serpent Lust also had to worry about facing Zhang Yu’s revenge and reckoning.

Consequently, over the next few days, Venerable Serpent Lust was extremely cautious, constantly hiding, and ready at any moment to deal with a counterattack from Zhang Yu.

But as the days passed, everything remained perfectly calm and quiet, as if the previous fierce battle between the two sides had just been a mere illusion.

And the more this was the case, the more uneasy Venerable Serpent Lust felt. He couldn’t help but wonder in his heart, “What on earth is Zhang Yu doing?”

---

Meanwhile, in another corner of Kunxu’s 16th layer, outside an Immortal Abode located in the Immortal Armaments Bureau.

Zhang Pianpian looked at the projection beside her and asked, “No problem on your end, right?”

The person casting the projection was none other than Zhang Yu.

At this moment, he had followed Zhang Pianpian here to conduct cross-sect law enforcement.

Hearing Zhang Pianpian’s words, Zhang Yu nodded and said, “I have no problem. Are you sure this is the place?”

Zhang Pianpian said, “According to my tracking over this period, during the Spirit Realm War of the past few months, out of all the external forces entrenched outside the sect that maintain close ties within the sect and have ambiguous relationships with the sect’s monsterfolk — especially Venerable Serpent Lust’s faction — the one before us has the highest suspicion.”

Zhang Yu nodded, “Then let’s do it.”

Zhang Pianpian approached the main gates of the Immortal Abode. Accompanied by a surge of Spirit Realm fluctuations, a message she had carefully disguised was instantly sent toward the Immortal Abode ahead.

Under this disguised message, the other party could not see Zhang Pianpian’s true identity, assuming she was just an ordinary cultivator.

“Are you monsterfolk stealing the computing power of the Calculation Pool again?”

The other party immediately replied, “Who’s stealing? Watch your words, or I’ll expose you for discriminating against monsterfolk.”

Zhang Pianpian said, “The performance of our Calculation Pool suddenly degraded, and we detected a leak in computing power.”

The other party said, “What does that have to do with us?”

Zhang Pianpian: “Let us inspect it, and we’ll know if it has anything to do with you.”

“Hurry up and open the door, or I’ll report you.”

Following Zhang Pianpian’s repeated pestering, a snake monster, after a brief moment… finally opened the Immortal Abode.

Just then, layers upon layers of divine light descended from all directions, instantly enveloping the entire Immortal Abode.

Because they were in an area of the Immortal Armaments Bureau and lacked the presence of the Dharma Realm, the Righteous Gods’ Spirit Realm lockdown had already sealed off the flow of information inside and outside the Immortal Abode.

Seeing this scene, the snake monster let out a cry of alarm and was just about to close the Immortal Abode when it saw Zhang Pianpian already crashing in through the sky filled with divine light.

At the same time, the entire Immortal Abode had fallen into utter chaos. Countless monsterfolk Soul Cultivators darted around in a frantic attempt to escape, only to find that the entire Immortal Abode had been completely locked down.

“Immobilization!”

Accompanied by Zhang Pianpian’s soft shout, the Spirit Realm costs inside and outside the Immortal Abode suddenly skyrocketed, terrifying the numerous Soul Cultivators so much that they didn’t dare to move an inch.

The snake monster, pinned to the ground by the Righteous Gods, began to struggle and shouted loudly, “What are you doing?! This is discriminatory law enforcement!”

“I… I can’t breathe!”

Zhang Pianpian walked up to him. With a light tap of her fingertip, she tore away her disguise, revealing her true information.

“Directly under the Heavenly Court? Spirit Realm Information Crime Investigation Division…”

The string of titles floating above Zhang Pianpian’s head seemed even more effective than an Immobilization Talisman. Just a single glance was enough to make the snake monster’s eyes turn clear and sober.

The snake monster wailed, “Officer, I’m just a maintenance worker, I don’t know anything!”

Zhang Pianpian glanced at his file and said coldly, “She Aigong, don’t harbor any illusions of getting lucky. Do you really think we would come to arrest you and make a move if we hadn’t already grasped solid evidence?”

Zhang Yu’s projection stood to the side, observing her interrogation in a form that only Zhang Pianpian could see. Zhang Yu asked, “Sis, do we actually have evidence?”

Zhang Pianpian replied casually, “Hard to say, it still depends on the results of the search later. However, the world always believes that a Righteous God is omniscient, omnipresent, and all-seeing. As long as it is used properly, relying on this first layer of information gap to scare them a bit can save a lot of trouble most of the time.”

Just as Zhang Pianpian had said, She Aigong said hesitantly, “Officer, this is really my first time stealing computing power, and I only stole from the Calculation Pool inside the Immortal Abode for myself. I didn’t steal from outside…”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but roll his eyes inwardly, while Zhang Pianpian continued to ask, “We will talk about the theft of computing power later. Let me give you another reminder. Venerable Serpent Lust, Zhu Yan — are you familiar with these two names?”

As she spoke, Zhang Pianpian projected a scene, showing exactly the sight of Zhu Yan with his entire body dismantled into hundreds of pieces, appearing in the recycling station.

There was also a scene in Zhang Yu’s Immortal Grotto-Heaven, showing the suppression of Venerable Serpent Lust’s clone. That was the scene where Venerable Serpent Lust’s clone crashed headlong into Zhang Yu’s Immortal Grotto-Heaven while Zhang Yu was fighting Zhu Yan, and was conveniently dealt with by Zhang Yu afterwards.

Moreover, the unique watermarks and seals of the Righteous God in the footage seemed to be attesting to the authenticity of these scenes.

Zhang Pianpian continued, “They have already confessed what they needed to confess. Do you have anything to add? Actually, it’s fine if you don’t say anything. Once this place is thoroughly searched, your testimony won’t be of any value anyway.”

Watching this scene and sensing the streaks of divine light sweeping out all around, meticulously inspecting every inch of space within the Immortal Abode, the magic power inside She Aigong’s body circulated faster and faster.

Zhang Pianpian applied pressure once more, “She Aigong, this case now involves the sect’s security. If you are willing to confess honestly and make amends for your crimes, you might still keep your life. Otherwise, just wait to become a Soul Cultivator.”

At the same time, a divine light transmitted a message to Zhang Pianpian, causing her to frown slightly.

Zhang Yu asked, “What’s wrong, Sis?”

Zhang Pianpian replied, “The local Righteous God of Immortal Armaments Bureau has detected an information anomaly here and is coming over.”

Zhang Yu said, “That was fast. Are we going to hand him over to them?”

Zhang Pianpian’s eyes flashed. Looking at She Aigong in front of her, her figure suddenly blurred as she retreated backward.

Seeing that Zhang Pianpian seemed to be leaving after receiving a message, She Aigong also grew nervous. “Why are you leaving? Aren’t you going to question me anymore?”

“There’s no need anymore,” Zhang Pianpian said indifferently.

Seeing that Zhang Pianpian really seemed to be leaving, She Aigong grew even more nervous: “Wait, wait! I’ll talk! We’ve been in contact with people from the Myriad Laws Sect all along, but I really didn’t know that the contents of their communication would endanger the sect’s safety!”

A moment later, She Aigong, like a clogged drain pipe that had been completely unblocked, recounted everything he knew.

What he knew was indeed not much, but when corroborated with the evidence in the Immortal Abode and the Soul Cultivators, it was enough to prove that Venerable Serpent Lust had been using forces outside the sect to stir up public opinion within the Myriad Laws Sect.

Zhang Pianpian smiled slightly: “Very good, next.”

Following this… Zhang Pianpian and Zhang Yu struck out everywhere, crossing several domains and sects in succession, wiping out the strongholds Venerable Serpent Lust had arranged outside the sect. They even found evidence of Venerable Serpent Lust selling intelligence about the Myriad Laws Sect to the outside, especially various intelligence regarding dual cultivation.

Looking at the contents, Zhang Pianpian also felt a trace of surprise: “He even supplied the dual cultivation intelligence of all the Void Refinement Law Establishment cultivators in the sect? Sold it to the monsterfolk forces outside the sect? This Venerable Serpent Lust really has a lot of nerve.”

“It seems… he has never put his heart into the Myriad Laws Sect. In his eyes, he is a monsterfolk first, and a Myriad Laws Sect cultivator second. He supports the monsterfolk’s Dao Lineages first, and the Myriad Laws Sect’s Dao Lineages second.”

Venerable Serpent Lust, who was feeling increasingly uneasy, suddenly focused his gaze and saw layers of divine light descending from the sky. They were already like chains, sealing up his figure and Spirit Realm information.

“What are you doing? I am a Void Refinement Cultivator of the Myriad Laws Sect, I am in charge of the Dual Cultivation Obligation Law Edict. Who gave you the right to arrest me?! Is this still the land of the Myriad Laws Sect?!”

Zhang Pianpian arrived in front of him and said indifferently, “Venerable Serpent Lust, you are now suspected of stealing, spying, buying, and illegally providing sect secrets and intelligence to those outside the sect. Come with us.”

Venerable Serpent Lust shouted, “Absurd! You are forcibly framing and planting evidence on me because of my monsterfolk identity! Is it Zhang Yu who sent you here? He is just cracking down and retaliating against me!”

Zhang Pianpian pointed a finger, and the strongholds outside the sect controlled by Venerable Serpent Lust emerged before their eyes one after another.

Seeing this scene, Venerable Serpent Lust’s heart went cold. The circulation of his magic power seemed to stall, and his Bionics began reporting errors one by one.

Thinking of the punishment he might face, Venerable Serpent Lust was already filled with fear.

Especially since he had previously joined forces with Zhu Yan to stop Zhang Yu from freezing the Law Edict, in Venerable Serpent Lust’s eyes… there were already many people waiting to kick him while he was down.

“Someone framed me!”

He struggled violently while trying to contact the Celestial Monster Immortal Emperor, only to find that the email address he sent it to did not exist, and the contact he tried to message did not exist either.

At this moment, Venerable Serpent Cloud felt as if he had plunged into an ice cellar, realizing that he had been abandoned.

Watching the news of Venerable Serpent Lust being imprisoned, Zhang Yu didn’t say much. He merely took advantage of the severe blow dealt to the Dual Cultivation Law Edict to seize the time and push for the freezing of the Law Edict.

Thus, in the following period, Zhang Yu swept through all the areas covered by the Dual Cultivation Law Edict, striking against the bad habits of dual cultivation everywhere and arresting those involved in Compulsory Dual Cultivation.

All of a sudden, everyone in the entire 16th layer felt insecure, turning pale at the mere mention of dual cultivation. Related industries faced a massive shake-up, gradually ceasing to mention any information regarding the Dual Cultivation Obligation.

The cultivators’ habits and culture all changed along with the changes to the Law Edicts. Dual cultivation was no longer an obligation; instead, it became an interest, a specialty, a skill, simply a new competitive track.

---

Time passed day by day amidst Zhang Yu’s efforts. Unknowingly, after the Thought Tide Amplification of Zhang Yu’s Law Edict experienced rapid continuous growth, his Expiration Date Law Edict’s ranking had reached 10th place on the Void Refinement Law Edict Rankings.

Finally, after freezing the Procreation Law Edict on the 16th layer, Zhang Yu repeatedly struck out against the Dual Cultivation Obligation, ultimately freezing the Dual Cultivation Obligation completely on the 16th layer step by step.

“Did it succeed?”

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking this.

70%

“Why?” Zhang Yu’s heart sank heavily. “This feeling again? It still hasn’t stopped? Could it be because… I can only freeze the 16th layer? Is a flaw in just one entire layer not enough?”

At this moment, Zhang Yu could still feel… that subtle change from the depths of the world, that step-by-step progress towards the achievement of the new Dao Lineage was still being pushed forward.

In fact, this change seemed to have even entered some stage of qualitative transformation.

Including Zhang Yu, more and more cultivators felt that their physical bodies seemed… to have formed a subtle connection with an entity an unknown distance away, occasionally being influenced by it, experiencing inexplicable joy, pleasure, and excitement…

The breeding phenomena within the entire Ten Great Sects also showed anomalies, as a large number of biological individuals with similar appearances were born at the same time.

Even within the breeding factories, product appearance anomalies caused by unknown reasons occurred, and the appearances of the same batch of Material Humans changed all at once.

Zhang Yu tried to continue freezing the first batch, the remaining Law Edicts among the 17 pending Freezing Law Edicts…

But no matter how he pushed forward, he could sense the progress of that new Dao Lineage advancing step by step, seemingly unstoppable anymore.

80%

Zhang Yu found that his cultivation arts related to clones had been strengthened; whether it was the 72-Layer thought intent or the 72 clones, all of their performances had been enhanced.

It was not just him; the technologies in this field across all of Kunxu had also been strengthened, causing the job market and corporate stock prices to experience violent fluctuations as a result.

At the same time, a large-scale estrus phenomenon appeared in the Celestial Monster Sect. Tens of millions of monsterfolk spontaneously engaged in dual cultivation and reproduction, triggering massive riots within the sect.

90%

The reproduction rate across the entire 1st to 20th layers skyrocketed. For unknown reasons, the production of Material Humans also surged, causing prices to collapse. The related materials market plummeted for several consecutive days, and for a time, no one knew how many cultivators went bankrupt.

Because the Celestial Monster Sect produced too many newborn monsterfolk, they were discovered secretly dumping large batches of them into the lower realm to save costs, triggering a cross-realm monsterfolk biological disaster and biological pollution.

Within the Ten Great Sects, abnormal transfers occurred among some Immortal Clan groups. At first, people thought they had been scammed, but later they realized the situation was becoming increasingly bizarre.

Within the Immortal Clan, massive abnormal transfers occurred frequently, accompanied by illicit knowledge transmission and infringing cultivation art instruction. To sum up, many Immortal Clan Seniors inexplicably gave away various knowledge, assets, and technologies for free to their descendants, which in turn triggered a series of cash flow problems, bringing a large number of enterprises to a standstill.

Bu Yingshu looked at the hundreds of millions of Immortal Coins transferred by Bu Yuangui again, and said somewhat fearfully, “Dad, what’s wrong with you? Don’t transfer any more, I’m scared.”

Bu Yuangui smiled and said, “What my daughter wants, my daughter gets. Isn’t it natural for us parents to dote on our children and leave everything to them?”
