Chapter 965: Dividing Supreme Truth, Snatching the Legacy
Under the gaze of countless Kunxu Cultivators, Yun Taizhen, who had originally been forcibly suppressed by the Ten Immortal Emperors, suddenly released an endless light at this moment.
Amidst the dazzling brilliance, Yun Taizhen’s long laughter spread across every layer of the Kunxu Heaven and Earth.
“Are you all wondering how to get your hands on my legacy?”
“Then go snatch it!”
“Snatch it, plunder it, fight for it… and step by step, climb to the very peak of the Immortal Dao!”
“Even if I fall today, the desire of all living beings under heaven to scale the peak of the Immortal Dao will never stop!”
“Immortal Emperors, this endless desire gave birth to you, and it will inevitably give birth to countless challengers who will one day surpass you and suppress all of you as well…”
At the same time, accompanied by Yun Taizhen’s explosive shout, countless pillars of light shot up into the sky from within the sect, like fireworks set off for her fall.
The dazzling brilliance illuminated the world like stars, and then fell toward the ground of each layer like a meteor shower. It was also as if Supreme Truth’s body had transformed into countless fragments, falling all over the world.
Those were exactly the countless assets controlled by Yun Taizhen. Various Immortal Abodes, medicinal gardens, medicinal pills, magical artifacts, production lines… densely packed, mountain-like, sea-like Immortal Dao resources, resembling falling meteors from the Nine Heavens, scattered across the lands of Kunxu’s various layers.
And just as Yun Taizhen spoke these words, the Ten Immortal Emperors seemed to quicken their movements, transforming into tenfold Immortal Light that descended one by one. Firmament after firmament suppressed Yun Taizhen’s body.
“Yun Taizhen, giving up all her net worth in one breath will only make you fail faster.”
“With a Supreme Dao Fruit like you here, how could we possibly be distracted to pick up those petty profits?”
“Taizhen, even now you are still stubborn? Even if many cultivators obtain your resources and your inheritance, what can they do?”
Yun Taizhen’s body was seen gradually shattering. First, her limbs were torn and swallowed one by one, and then her body was gradually absorbed by endless darkness… like evil dragons tearing and devouring her.
But within this darkness, Yun Taizhen still struggled and laughed: “Ten Emperors, no one is the eternal protagonist. At least nine of you will eventually have a day when the curtain falls. Who will it start with?”
“My other reincarnations will watch you fall one by one.”
The meaning behind Yun Taizhen’s words was obvious… it meant that she had other clones that had already reincarnated and gone into hiding.
And in this world, the only existence in all of heaven and earth capable of controlling all reincarnations and arranging for the clone of a supreme figure like Taizhen to reincarnate… was the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.
If the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor had arranged Taizhen’s reincarnation, then naturally, he would have obtained a massive share of Yun Taizhen’s legacy and inheritance.
Yun Taizhen knew in her heart that this was a very simple deduction. She only needed to casually mention it, and the Ten Immortal Emperors would figure it out in an instant.
But Yun Taizhen also understood that the Ten Immortal Emperors wouldn’t believe her so easily, nor believe that she had joined forces with the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.
However, she knew even better that this would serve as an excellent excuse — an excuse the other Immortal Emperors could use to suppress the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor in the upcoming division of spoils, as well as an excuse to interfere with the affairs of Reincarnation in the future.
As long as the Ten Immortal Emperors were fraught with conflicts and fought over every single scrap of profit, they would not easily let go of this excuse.
Feeling the tenfold Immortal Light surrounding her vibrating violently, a smile appeared at the corners of Yun Taizhen’s mouth; she knew her judgment was right again.
Yun Taizhen said inwardly, “You ten guys are really full of contradictions and refuse to give an inch to each other.”
“In this way, refining me into an Immortal Artifact next and fighting for control over me will also take much longer.”
“Son, the last bit of time I can buy for you is only…”
The next moment, Yun Taizhen only felt a bottomless darkness completely enveloping her.
At this moment, she had lost all connection to the physical world.
At this moment, Yun Taizhen completely lost consciousness and stopped thinking.
In the minor realm on the 16th layer of Kunxu.
Zhang Yu quietly watched the scene of Supreme Truth being gradually swallowed by the darkness.
Immortal Slayer said in his heart, “Climbing to the peak of the Immortal Dao step by step… Immortal Emperor Supreme Truth’s words were also directed at us, right?”
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, “By detonating her assets now, I’m afraid she will be suppressed by the Ten Immortal Emperors even faster.”
Immortal Slayer sighed and said, “But this way, the Ten Immortal Emperors will be so busy refining Immortal Emperor Supreme Truth that they probably won’t have the energy to manage the processing and seizing of the other inheritances.”
Zhang Yu could imagine that, at this moment, the Ten Immortal Emperors must have focused all of their efforts on Supreme Truth.
For them, how to refine Supreme Truth into a Supreme Immortal Artifact, how to fight for control of this Supreme Immortal Artifact, and how to master more parts of the Supreme Truth Dao Lineage were the most important things to them.
“But they won’t just let the inheritance explode everywhere either…”
Just as Zhang Yu was thinking this, a notice was issued within the Myriad Laws Sect, requiring departments at all levels to organize personnel to salvage the illegal assets of the rebel Supreme Truth, confiscate all illegal assets that fell into their territory as sect property, and allow the Sect Staff to use force when necessary.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Sure enough, if the Immortal Emperors don’t have time to intervene themselves, they will naturally hand it over to their subordinates in the sects to fight for the inheritance.”
“Whoever doesn’t do this will just have to watch as the Sect Staff from other sects snatch the inheritance away.”
Zhang Yu thought rapidly in his heart, “And as long as the cultivators of their own sect seize the legacy, it is a profit for the Immortal Emperors.”
“After all… as long as they are still within the sect’s Immortal Dao cycle, economic cycle, and industrial cycle, then no matter how much legacy they snatch, the profits they ultimately create will all have to be shared with the Immortal Emperors.”
Zhang Yu arrived outside the minor realm. Looking up at the sky, he saw streams of radiant light surging with immortal aura tearing across the heavens, swiftly chasing after the scattered legacy that Yun Taizhen had exploded into.
Feeling the majestic pressure contained within them, Zhang Yu guessed that they were at least Immortals.
“Whether they are Immortals or Immortal Venerables, right now they are scrambling for Senior Supreme Truth’s legacy in hopes of obtaining nutrients from it, pursuing future breakthroughs, and perhaps even ascending to become the 11th Immortal Emperor…”
Recalling the scene of the World Rollback, Zhang Yu said in his heart, “But in the eyes of the lofty Ten Immortal Emperors, these Immortals are probably just robustly growing fruits, waiting for the day they are harvested by the Immortal Emperors.”
Zhang Yu recalled the indulgence that Ying Xintian had spoken of.
Although Yun Taizhen had actively created the opportunity, if not for the indulgence of the Ten Immortal Emperors, this scene of the common people fighting for her legacy would not have happened.
At the same time, Zhang Yu could see densely packed specks of light appearing on the map, constantly converging in various directions.
Those were the countless crowds of people fighting for the legacy that Zhang Yu saw after collecting and summarizing the massive amount of information in the Spirit Realm and Dharma Realm.
Looking at the directions these crowds were converging toward, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Senior Taizhen sent all the legacy to the borders and overlapping areas of the great sects’ forces just to provoke conflict and further delay time, right?”
Meanwhile, the list for raiding homes that Yun Taizhen had finally given him surfaced in Zhang Yu’s mind.
Looking at the position coordinates on it, observing the falling meteors in the sky, and the directions of the constantly converging crowds… Zhang Yu thought to himself, “The locations Senior Taizhen gave me are not the original locations of these assets, but the locations where she finally scattered these assets all over the sky.”
A series of lightning-fast analyses and thoughts flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind one after another.
At this moment, Zhang Yu could already deeply feel Yun Taizhen’s painstaking efforts.
At the cost of shortening her own resistance time, while drawing the attention and effort of the ten Immortal Emperors, she intentionally scattered her assets to provoke a chaotic scramble… All of this was exactly to buy Zhang Yu more time and space to collect the legacy she had left for him.
Meanwhile, throughout the Spirit Realm and the Dharma Realm, voices of cheering and gratitude toward the Immortal Emperors could be heard everywhere.
“The Immortal Emperors are truly virtuous, actually allowing us to get a piece of the pie and tear a chunk of meat from this rebel.”
“If not for the boundless mystic power of the Immortal Emperors, this rebel would have long thrown the world into chaos! To think she actually wanted to establish some Dao Lineage… asking us to squander our family fortunes to provide for future generations? Simply absurd.”
“The Monster Rebel was suppressed by the Immortal Emperors, so all of her assets should rightfully belong to them. Yet, they are allowing us to raid her estate — what incredible generosity!”
Seeing these continuous outcries of gratitude to the Immortal Emperors and condemnation of Yun Taizhen, a strong sense of absurdity welled up in Immortal Slayer’s heart.
The Ten Immortal Emperors, who scourged the world and oppressed all living beings, were being met with the gratitude of the common people.
In contrast, Yun Taizhen, who had sought to change Kunxu and break the monopoly of the Ten Immortal Emperors, ultimately giving away all her wealth, was now being trampled into the mud and gnawed upon by those very same masses.
“This is too despicable!” the Sect Examination Clone said angrily. “Thank the Immortal Emperors? That was our inheritance to begin with!!”
“They are the things Immortal Emperor Supreme Truth passed down to us, and now they are handing them out like this, and we still have to thank them?”
At the thought of the inheritance his mother had left him now being fought over by countless people, the Sect Examination Clone felt a piercing pain in his heart.
“How unfilial! Watching all this inheritance being snatched away while I am powerless to stop it, I am truly unfilial.”
Hearing the Sect Examination Clone’s words, Immortal Slayer said indifferently, “What? You don’t want to serve the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor anymore? Ultimately, you still prioritize your own growth over the sect and the Immortal Emperor, right? This is your true nature.”
The Sect Examination Clone said, “Having all the inheritance in my hands is the best way to build the sect and serve Grandpa Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor! You don’t even understand this?”
Speaking up to this point, the Sect Examination Clone sighed. “Fortunately, Mom has already given us the most important thing. In the future, we must make good use of this power to build the sect and continue to climb higher…”
Fu Ji listened to the Sect Examination Clone’s angry roar in shock, thinking to herself, “What the hell? Is this still the Sect Examination Clone? He actually dared to speak ill of the Immortal Emperor?! What exactly did Zhang Yu and his clone experience?”
The Herald God analyzed, “Hmph, this is the true nature of this Sect Examination Clone. If one day Zhang Yu can become an Immortal Emperor, he would immediately trample the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor into the ground. His current behavior shows that Zhang Yu has obtained a massive fortuitous encounter…”
The process of Zhang Yu communicating with Supreme Truth through the Bloodline Network only involved himself and his clone consciousnesses. Fu Ji and the rest of the Evil Gods were unable to participate, so they did not hear the contents of the exchange between the two parties.
In the eyes of Fu Ji and the other Evil Gods, a drastic change had suddenly occurred on Zhang Yu’s body. Even though his cultivation realm had not yet advanced, his aura and coercive pressure had just surged wildly layer by layer, rising so much that they felt deeply alarmed.
Fu Ji thought to herself, “Damn it… I feel like I missed some important information. I really want to know, I really want to know!”
“It’s fine if Auspicious Guy, Herald Guy, and the others don’t know, but why didn’t Zhang Yu even tell me? Did he forget that we climbed up from the First Layer together? Could it be that Zhang Yu doesn’t trust me anymore?”
Just as the consciousnesses in Zhang Yu’s mind were conversing with each other, his figure was already flashing rapidly. Transforming into a streak of rushing thunder and lightning, he charged toward a falling piece of Supreme Truth’s legacy.
Looking at the streaks of intertwining and colliding Immortal Light in the sky, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Has the battle between Immortals, or even those at the level of Immortal Venerables begun?”
Recalling the notice just issued within the Myriad Laws Sect, Zhang Yu thought, “Allowing the use of force is likely just encouraging sect disciples to snatch the Supreme Truth’s legacy from the hands of other sects.”
“However, the battles of the Immortal Venerables and Immortals are clearly being controlled within a certain range…”
The image of Yun Taizhen being suppressed by the Ten Immortal Emperors in a mere instant, right after her breakthrough, surfaced in Zhang Yu’s mind.
He thought to himself, “That scene was simply too shocking. It has likely pushed the prestige of the Ten Immortal Emperors to an unprecedented peak, causing the Immortals and even Immortal Venerables of various sects… to hold the utmost respect for the Immortal Emperors. They are actively controlling the intensity of their fights to avoid losses for their sects and for the Immortal Emperors.”
However, no matter how the higher-tier cultivators like the Immortal Venerables and Immortals fought, it temporarily had nothing to do with Zhang Yu.
This was because the most conspicuous, eye-catching legacies that most attracted upper-tier cultivators like Immortal Venerables and Immortals had all been thrown far into the upper layers by Supreme Truth.
As for Yun Taizhen… the things she truly wanted to give Zhang Yu were all hidden within some of the legacies and thrown near him, allowing him to collect them while the upper-tier cultivators were fighting over the other legacies.
Just as Zhang Yu was pondering, he saw a fallen Immortal Abode on the ground before him.
At this moment, several cultivators were surrounding it, looking for a way to enter this Immortal Abode.
Seeing Zhang Yu’s arrival, these cultivators were all startled.
“It’s Dao Monarch Blazing Light!”
“Dao Monarch Zhang from the Effectiveness Department is here…”
As the saying goes, a person’s reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Over the past few months, Zhang Yu had been ruthless, launching a lightning-fast legal reform campaign on the 16th layer. His prestige within the Myriad Laws Sect was growing louder by the day.
Especially as the Myriad Laws Divine Sword, chosen by the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor to be the vanguard to temper Myriad Laws, everyone knew that the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor stood behind him.
Now, at a time when the Ten Immortal Emperors’ prestige was at its peak, the cultivators in the Myriad Laws Sect naturally became increasingly wary and respectful of Zhang Yu.
“I will be taking over this inheritance from here on. You all can go somewhere else.”
With just a single Spirit Realm notification from Zhang Yu, the several Myriad Laws cultivators scattered like birds and beasts, rushing toward the directions where other inheritances had fallen.
Obviously, in their eyes, rather than fighting with Zhang Yu, it was better to collect other inheritances.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu had already followed the guidance Yun Taizhen left for him and entered this Immortal Abode.
As soon as he entered the Immortal Abode, he saw a large Blood Pool appear before his eyes.
Countless pieces of flesh and blood bobbed up and down within it, seeming to still be breathing and functioning.
“Is this… a laboratory for flesh and blood materials? It seems there are also quite a few research results of the Immortal Dao…”
Zhang Yu checked briefly and understood Yun Taizhen’s intention in giving this place to him.
“A massive amount of bloodline information is stored here, which can help me continue to upgrade the level of the Emperor Creation Seed and comprehend the 《Innate Dao-Vindication Scripture》.”
“At the same time, some of the Immortal Dao results developed here can also be used to conceal my Emperor Creation Seed, becoming my reliance to break the cultivation realm limit, and engage in cross-realm combat and cross-realm work.”
Zhang Yu understood that this was just like how his various breakthroughs in the past could be passed off as Ying Xintian’s Immortal Legacy.
And all the various combat and work capabilities he would burst forth with in the future would be attributed to what he had confiscated from Taizhen’s home.
“As for the Immortal Emperors…” Zhang Yu thought to himself, “they will probably continue to tolerate this growth of mine.”
“Especially the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor, he will continue to indulge my growth and continue to use me to govern the sect and Moderate Myriad Laws for him, until he finally harvests me.”
“This is the arrogance of the Immortal Emperors, and it is also my opportunity to continue growing.”
As he pondered, Zhang Yu’s figure had already sunk into the Blood Pool. A vast amount of bloodline information surged toward him, continuously pouring into his body, propelling his Emperor Creation Seed toward level 7.
