Great Saint Successor (8/8) (Thanks to "Silent Twilight" for becoming an Alliance Leader)

A dense array of Black Cultivation Method instantly appeared before Zhang Yu.

The vast majority of these are, of course, basic, intermediate, and Expert Level rudimentary Cultivation Method.

With a thought, Zhang Yu immediately selected the Sect-Suppressing and the Heaven-Opening Technique.

Information on countless Cultivation Method flashed through his mind, and he quickly reviewed, summarized, and selected them.

"Among the Black Cultivation Method collected by the Yufa Pavilion, there are 12 Heaven-Opening Technique and 34 Sect -Sect Protecting Cultivation Method."

"There are more of them than I expected, but each Cultivation Method has different requirements, especially some Dao Arts... they are not so easy to cultivate."

The next moment, Zhang Yu's gaze was fixed on one Heaven-Opening Technique and two Sect Protecting Cultivation Method.

"As expected, just like the ' Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation ' I used to cultivate, these Black Cultivation Method do indeed contain Martial Arts from the Demon Saint lineage, which can be used to supplement the Chain Law Diagram [Great Saint Successor]."

Zhang Yu quickly memorized the three Cultivation Method and then began to try practicing them.

The Heaven-Opening Technique is called the "Sage Spirit Origin Wisdom Scripture), and its two Sect Protecting Cultivation Method are called " Indestructible Solution) and "Bu Si Zhi Jie" (Deathless Solution).

"Both of these Sect Protecting Cultivation Method require numerous clones, multiple wills, and foundational data that transcends limits. Clearly, they are tailor-made for Demon Descendant who have obtained the inheritance of the Demon Saint."

"In addition to that, one must be able to sense the Great Saint Will."

"That's exactly what I need."

Although Zhang Yu is Human Race, he possesses the legacy of the Immortal Emperor Tai Zhen, and his various stats surpass the limits of even the Demon Descendant.

Furthermore, the Cultivation Method of the Demon Saint lineage allowed him to possess a total of 256 layers of thought and 256 clones shortly after entering the Ascension Realm.

The [Great Saint Researcher] of the Chain Law Diagram allows Zhang Yu to sense the Great Saint Will through the Spirit Realm.

In the past, Zhang Yu might have worried about Orthodox God investigating the Great Saint Will, but now that he holds great power and is protected by the Eight Department Gods, he has no need to worry about such things.

So over the next few days, Zhang Yu began to cultivate these two Sect Protecting Cultivation Method.

During his cultivation, he could sense calls coming from the Spirit Realm from time to time.

That was the Great Saint Will from the depths of the Spirit Realm, which resonated with Zhang Yu Zhang Yu as he cultivated his Cultivation Method.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yu felt that his clone, under the guidance of the Great Saint Will and with the blessing of the Spirit Realm, established a deeper connection and resonance, and the cultivation of the Cultivation Method became extremely smooth.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "So that's how it is. Cultivating this ' Indestructible Solution ' requires the approval and guidance of the Great Saint Will's will, and then, with the help of the Spirit Realm environment, one can gradually cultivate a spiritual connection between the clone and the original body that didn't exist before."

"If you continue cultivating, you will be able to transfer all the damage suffered by your main body to your clone."

"And now I have a total of 256 clones to take the damage for me."

"This clone, enhanced by techniques such as the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra, the Myriad Transformations Self-Sufficient Profound Scripture, the Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation, the Flesh Divine Ability, the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo, the Creation Emperor Seed, etc., possesses extremely high resistance and super regenerative abilities."

"The damage is transferred to the clones, which not only resist but also adapt and regenerate, strengthening the original body. Together with the clones, the original body can withstand even more damage..."

At the same time, as the Great Saint Will, many Orthodox God were immediately alarmed.

The Fourth-Class True God Bing Yisi, who had been a constant pursuer of the Great Saint Will, was also invigorated at this moment. "Here we go again! This time I will definitely catch you!"

So he followed the Great Saint Will all the way to the 19th Layer, the Myriad Laws District, and thought to himself, "Too arrogant!"

"This Great Saint Successor is so utterly unscrupulous, responding to the Great Saint Will for such a long time and at such a high frequency; he simply doesn't respect the Heavenly Court at all!"

"Found it! It's right ahead!"

"Hmm? This location is... the Office Area of Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince?"

As Bing Yisi Si was rampaging through the Myriad Laws Sect with a large group of Orthodox God, an overwhelming Divine Power blocked his way.

Bing Yisi immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Great God of All Living Beings, we have been following the Great Saint Will all this way..."

The voice of the Great God of All Living Beings, transcended the Spirit Realm and appeared directly in the minds of the Orthodox God: "Where is the Great Saint Will?"

Bing Yisi was slightly taken aback, but immediately released various data as evidence.

The Great God of All Living Beings Divine Power of all living beings swept over the signal and said calmly, "You've mistaken it. This is just an ordinary signal from the Spirit Realm."

Bing Yisi looked down and found that all related records had been deleted.

Although the Great Saint Will were still being transmitted, Bing Yisi was no longer receiving any alerts, which meant that the other party had been added to the Whitelist.

Looking at the space ahead, Bing Yisi sighed inwardly, "The Great Saint Successor can actually appear openly and legitimately, and even has the protection of a god-level being. The sky over Kunxu is truly getting darker and darker."

On the other hand, as the level of "Indestructible Solution" steadily increased, Zhang Yu could feel that the proportion of damage that could be transferred after this Cultivation Method was activated was also getting higher and higher.

When Zhang Yu pushed "The Indestructible Solution" to level 80, it was able to transfer a full 80% of the damage to the clone.

Zhang Yu's next cultivation Cultivation Method is the "Deathless Solution Cultivation Method," which allows him to transfer almost everything—his vital Qi and Blood, magical power, memories, intentions, spirit, and Primordial Spirit —between his main body and his clones.

"Once I master this ' Deathless Solution,' it means I can transfer everything I have to my clone at any time."

"Any one of my clones can quickly transform into my main body, and my main body... can transform into a clone at any time."

"The only drawback is the speed of the transfer."

Zhang Yu knew that the higher one's cultivation level and the greater one's power, the longer it would take to transfer from the main body to the clone.

He broke through to level 80 in his Cultivation Method and felt that the transfer speed of the "Deathless Solution" had greatly improved, and he could transfer from his main body to his clone in just a few seconds.

"A few seconds may sound like a long time, but in the battles of the Ascension Realm cultivators, a few seconds is enough to do a lot of things."

"However, if the ' Deathless Solution ' and the ' Indestructible Solution ' are combined, then it's a different story."

"With my 256 clones sharing the damage, delaying the conversion for a few seconds isn't difficult."

Various simulated battle scenarios instantly flashed through Zhang Yu's mind.

"My opponent must deal enough damage within a few seconds to completely destroy my main body and 256 clones in one fell swoop in order to kill me."

"As long as even one clone isn't completely killed, I can teleport there, regenerate quickly, and escape death."

"And they also need to break through my Immortal Grotto-Heaven, divine Talisman Arts, and other protective measures."

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhang Yu felt that if he were to encounter such an opponent, he would be thoroughly thrashed.

Fu Ji, perched on Zhang Yu's shoulders, watched this scene and laughed, "Good, Zhang Yu. Now that you are the Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince, your own safety is paramount, as it concerns the entire Ten Thousand Methods Society and the sect's overall situation. What you need is this kind of Immortal Dao Technique that makes you difficult to kill."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu asked, "How is Bu Yingshu doing?"

Fu Ji sighed, "Alas, it seems the person I've been chatting with lately has changed back to Bu Yingshu. He's lost his former gentleness, wit, humor, and perfectly timed flattery."

"What else can Bu Yingshu do? After we promoted him to Rank 8 and transferred him to the Yufa Pavilion, he's currently frantically scouring the internal database of Black Cultivation Method Cultivation Method, drawing nourishment from it."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He transferred Bu Yingshu to the Yufa Pavilion Yufa Pavilion Master serve as its head, granting him extremely high authority, hoping that Bu Cultivation Method to prepare for the future advancement of the [Wanfa Immortal Clan] Dao Seed.

Next, Zhang Yu began to cultivate that Heaven-Opening Grade Black Cultivation Method.

"This ' Sage Spirit Origin Wisdom Scripture ' has, in addition to the same cultivation requirements as the ' Deathless Solution,' a prerequisite for cultivation."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "That means having one's own large Spirit Realm and possessing the highest authority within the Spirit Realm."

In Zhang Yu's view, this single requirement alone would be enough to deter the vast majority of cultivators.

After all, there is only one Spirit Realm in Kunxu, which is controlled by the Heavenly Court. It cannot belong to individual cultivators.

Many so-called local Spirit Realm are merely reinforced with additional restrictions; they are still essentially one with the external Spirit Realm.

But for Zhang Yu, this was not a problem, because when he collected books last time, he obtained a copy of the "Great Sage Book," which allowed him to create an independent Spirit Realm with his own will.

Now, this independent Spirit Realm is built by Zhang Yu within his own Feathering Grotto-Heaven.

Thus, Zhang Yu successfully entered the Sage Spirit Origin Wisdom Scripture " and felt his thoughts gradually merging with the Spirit Realm of the Feathering Grotto-Heaven.

What was originally just an independent Spirit Realm serving as a basis for communication seems to have gradually become a part of his mind, a tentacle extending Zhang Yu's spirit into reality.

"This ' Sage Spirit Origin Wisdom Scripture ' allows one to refine the Spirit Realm into a part of oneself, and then, under the cover of the Spirit Realm, to refine others into one's own avatars."

"In this process, it can even digest the other person's consciousness and memories, gradually establishing a Collective Consciousness Network in the Spirit Realm."

Just as Zhang Yu was analyzing the situation, Wild Ox, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "This should be Immortal Dao Technique I once developed. I never imagined it would become Black Cultivation Method of the Ten Great Sects."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, recalling the memories and experiences he had gained when sensing the Great Saint Will... about the Desolate Ox Great Saint.

In that memory, the Desolate Ox Great Saint devoured countless people, establishing a vast Collective Consciousness Network.

But Zhang Yu was unwilling to do so.

"Even within Kunxu, the method of refining everyone into a collective consciousness is difficult for cultivators to accept unless it is forced through violence."

"Moreover, after absorbing so many memories and consciousnesses, I won't be myself anymore. This is a kind of pollution for me, and it will integrate more and more characteristics of the Kunxu Person into my body. In the end, I will become Immortal Dao Monopolist Faction and pursue the Endtime Immortal Emperor, right?"

In addition to the High Merit, the "Sage Spirit Origin Wisdom Scripture" can also enhance all the Cultivation Method within the current [Great Saint Successor] Chain Law Diagram.

"With this ' Sage Spirit Origin Wisdom Scripture,' my clones will become even more powerful. Whether it's the regeneration brought by the ' Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra,' the Multiple Minds thinking speed brought by the ' Immeasurable Inner Heart Dharma Body,' or the transfer functions of the ' Deathless Solution ' and the ' Indestructible Solution,' they will all become more efficient."

"Especially under the coverage of my independent Spirit Realm, the enhancement effect is even more astonishing. For example, the transfer speed of the ' Deathless Solution ' increases tenfold, requiring only a fraction of a second to transfer the main body and the clone to each other."

Feeling the full enhancement effects brought by the "Sage Spirit Origin Wisdom Scripture," Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This series of Cultivation Method is a whole. The ultimate goal is probably to spread one's independent Spirit Realm throughout the world, and then refine all living beings under the Spirit Realm into one's own clones, adding them into the collective consciousness."

"However, although I can't devour humans, I can refine more animals as my clones. After all, animals don't have much subjective consciousness and won't affect my mind."

"At that time, every animal can take the damage for me, and block one more attack for me, which is equivalent to having an extra life."

Meanwhile, as Zhang Yu Cultivation Method, his Chain Law Diagram [Great Saint Successor] also collected a total of 9 sets of Cultivation Method.

When the 8th set of Cultivation Method is completed, the new function of [Great Saint Successor] is unlocked.

Intermediate Great Saint Successor (8/8): Your will is the Great Saint Will, reaching everywhere in the Spirit Realm.

After carefully studying this ability, Zhang Yu discovered that his thoughts could penetrate any defense in the Spirit Realm and communicate with anyone in the Spirit Realm.

It was during this process that Zhang Yu gradually sensed the source of the Great Saint Will.

That was a will that was completely suppressed under the protection of layers upon layers of Orthodox God.

With the blessing of the [Great Saint Successor], Zhang Yu's consciousness penetrated the defenses, and he tried to call out, "Can you... hear what I'm saying?"

Seemingly sensing Zhang Yu's thoughts, the other party responded, "Come... find me..."

But Zhang Yu sensed that the other person's condition was not normal, somewhere between being awake and not awake, and that his speech was intermittent and incoherent, only repeatedly asking Zhang Yu to come find him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yu felt a Orthodox God power approaching. The other party did not attack him, but merely suppressed and transferred the Great Saint Will, temporarily severing the connection between Zhang Yu and the Great Saint Will's will.

"The Orthodox God probably didn't attack me because of my identity and authority."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "But clearly they don't want me to have too much contact with the Great Saint Will."

While Zhang Yu was practicing his cultivation Cultivation Method and studying the Great Saint Will, Tai Yuebai sent another report to Zhang Yu.

Looking at the report, Zhang Yu replied, "The cultivators who possess the Dao Seed are making good progress."

"Have you come into contact with any other holders of Ultra-High-Risk Dao Seed?"

Tai Yuebai replied, "We're still looking. These kinds of people are all controlled by the Immortal Class; they're not easy to contact."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, choosing to believe Tai Yuebai.

After all, the other party secretly obtained so many Dao Seed; they must be professionals in this area.

"These Ultra-High-Risk Dao Seed. If I could master more of them, it would greatly help improve my strength."

At the same time, Le Mulan sent Zhang Yu a message: "You submitted an application to use Ultra-High-Risk Dao Seed? Actually, you don't need to apply; I can just ask someone directly..."

Zhang Yu declared with righteous indignation, "The use of Ultra-High-Risk Dao Seed requires the approval of the Heavenly Observation Hall. This is a rule of the sect, and all holders of Ultra-High-Risk Dao Seed must abide by this rule. I am no exception."

As they were talking, Zhang Yu, as the Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince, had already received a document from the Heavenly Observation Hall, which contained Zhang Yu application for the use of Ultra-High-Risk Dao Seed.

As the Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince, the Heavenly Observation Hall's approval for anyone to use Ultra-High-Risk Dao Seed also requires his review.

Zhang Yu waved his hand and approved, "Approved."

The next moment, Zhang Yu's application was approved instantly, granting him the right to use Ultra-High-Risk Dao Seed.

He opened his mouth and exhaled a surge of Immortal Energy, which appeared in the Feathering Grotto-Heaven.

At this moment, he is recklessly activating the Ultra-High-Risk Dao Seed [One Qi Swallows the Universe], frantically replicating Immortal Energy and increasing the concentration of Immortal Energy throughout the entire Grotto-Heaven.

For Zhang Yu, this was both improving his cultivation environment and creating wealth out of thin air.

As for the inflation of Immortal Energy this would cause, Zhang Yu couldn't care less about that anymore.

Just then, Fa Liuyuan also sent a message to Zhang Yu.

Fa Liuyuan: "Your Highness, I wonder if you've noticed that the crime rate within the sect has recently increased from 19th Layer."

Fa Liuyuan explained, "At first, there were just a lot of frictions, but then violence started to break out, and in the last two days, someone has already committed murder without a license, and the situation is gradually getting worse."

Fa Liuyuan also shared his own insights. "This state is very similar to a Dao Orthodoxy that two immortals once introduced to me."

Zhang Yu asked, "What Dao Orthodoxy?"

Fa Liuyuan said, "The Destiny Dao Lineage."

The Destiny Dao Lineage, the Dao Orthodoxy governed by the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Venerable, is commonly referred to by many as the Gambling Dao Lineage, but its influence extends far beyond the realm of gambling.

According to the introduction of the Fa Liuyuan, this Dao Orthodoxy can see through the past, predict the future, grasp the connections between things, and intervene in the changes between things.

According to Zhang Yu's understanding, it means that the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Venerable can perceive the reasons for the occurrence of various events and predict the course of events.

They can even use Dao Orthodoxy to instigate events remotely, interfere with their development, and drag unrelated people into them.

Zhang Yu analyzed, "In other words, as long as the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Venerable operates his Dao Orthodoxy, he can change the course of events and alter people's destinies without spending money or lifting a finger?"

Fa Liuyuan: "Indeed, the Dao Orthodoxy of Heavenly Fortune Immortal Venerable is indeed powerful. However, the stronger the individual, the more difficult it is to interfere with this Dao Orthodoxy."

"Basically, those at the Immortal Class are extremely difficult to influence."

"As for those at the Immortal Emperor level, not only are they difficult to influence, but they are also difficult to use to predict the past and future."

Fa Liuyuan sighed, "In the past, the Ten Immortal Emperors' power suppressed Kunxu, which also affected countless companies, markets, and Dao Struggle, making it difficult for even the Destiny Dao Lineage to predict and influence."

"It can be said that under the suppression of the Ten Immortal Emperors, the influence of the Destiny Dao Lineage reached its lowest point, confined to the fields of gambling and fraud."

"Now that the Ten Immortal Emperors have departed, the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Venerable's strength has been enhanced to an unprecedented degree. He may not be able to directly influence the immortals, but he can influence the situation by affecting cultivators, thus indirectly affecting the immortals."

"For example, increasing the development speed of one's own faction, or slowing down the development speed of other immortals' factions..."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The Ten Immortal Emperors originally suppressed Kunxu, and many Immortal Venerable were suppressed by them. After the Ten Immortal Emperors leave, these Immortal Venerable will surely show a different side of themselves than before, and have a huge impact on Kunxu."

Fa Liuyuan continued, "The current situation on 19th Layer is like waves rising from nowhere, with conflicts escalating continuously. If left unchecked, it will become increasingly serious, and may even break out into civil war."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It's fortunate that Fa Liuyuan knew this and reminded me, otherwise, I really don't know when I would have noticed such a treacherous Dao Orthodoxy."

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think it was Heavenly Fortune Immortal Venerable who attacked us?"

Fa Liuyuan nodded. "I had heard before that it was Heavenly Fortune Immortal Venerable who initiated the sanctions, and now he is using his Dao Orthodoxy to suppress us, so it's not surprising."

Zhang Yu asked, "Do you know why he did that?"

Fa Liuyuan shook his head. "All I know is that he wants you to relinquish your authority as crown prince."

The two discussed it further, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "Dao Orthodoxy at the Immortal Venerable level are really too troublesome. They can have a huge impact on us without even lifting a finger."

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering this, someone else contacted him.

Zhang Pianpian: "Brother! Someone is trying to seize supreme control of the Heavenly Court!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu was startled.

He is now able to control 19th Layer, and the key to his military strength lies with the Eight Department Gods.

If someone were to gain greater control over the Heavenly Court than him, causing him to lose the protection of the Eight Department Gods, the Immortal Class of the Myriad Laws Sect would likely be able to suppress him in an instant.

Zhang Yu immediately asked, "Who is it?"

Zhang Pianpian: "The Demon Descendant of the Heaven Demon Sect are already attempting to release and control the Great Saint Will; this is very likely a backup plan of the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor."

Zhang Yu made up his mind instantly. "I must stop them."
