Making the Immortal Emperor Take the Blame

Watching Zhang Yu's actions, snatching the books from everyone's hands, Fu Ji thought to herself, "Zhang Yu must be feeling a little smug right now, right? After all, could what the Sect Examination Clone said have actually been Zhang Yu's hidden thoughts all along?"

"Should I take this opportunity to flatter him and praise his actions?"

Just as Fu Ji was pondering this, she heard the Bao Shen say, "Xuanjun, your plan today was not only meticulously arranged, but your actions were also swift and decisive. Even the Wanfa Immortal Emperor was part of your scheme, and you have these sect's Heavenly Prodigy completely under your control."

"You brat! How dare you steal my thunder?" Fu Ji cursed under her breath, her inner alarm bells ringing. "That bastard, Bao Zi—"

"They've become increasingly ambitious lately, trying to take my place?"

Meanwhile, Xiangzi on the other side also said, "Yes, yes, pretending to enter the gate leading to the Layer 33, but actually being teleported to the depths of the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, checking and merging the collected books one by one. Using the power of the Immortal Emperor to command all cultivators! It's truly brilliant!"

Zhan Xian analyzed, "It's not exactly clever; it's more like simple and crude. But sometimes, simple and crude methods can be surprisingly effective."

"Another key point is that our current control over Spatial Technology is powerful enough that no one on site realized we hadn't entered the Layer 33, but had been teleported deep into the Immortal Grotto-Heaven."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, understanding that this was due to the boost to Spatial Technology resulting from the continuous surge in his progress in seeking the Dao of the [Cosmic Dao Orthodoxy].

This allowed him to utilize the gate to the Layer 33 33 without actually entering it, borrowing the books of everyone present.

After all, entering the Layer 33 would mean facing the Immortal Emperor directly, which would be troublesome for Zhang Yu.

The Sect Examination Clone reminded him, "These bastards won't let this go easily now that they've lost their book. I know these kinds of people too well; they're definitely trying to figure something out."

Just as the Sect Examination Clone had warned, the many cultivators in the conference room were indeed pondering a solution.

And their first step was almost identical—gathering intelligence.

Cang Juehuan stared intently at the door leading to the Layer 33, his spirit manipulation technique suddenly activating within him.

"Brothers! Let's get to work!"

Tens of thousands of High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit suddenly awoke, each one a good brother of Cang Juehuan.

Like thousands of Tianwen Star, they observed the Spatial Structure of the Layer 33 gate.

Each day these High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit undergo Cang Juehuan and refinement in the vast universe, and with each Greater Celestial Circuit of magical power, they are cleansed of mental dust, unnecessary memories are cleared away, and important work experience is retained, making them stronger day by day.

In the perception of these High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit, each day of awakening is the first day they gain the Artifact Spirit Rights, filled with enthusiasm and fighting spirit, possessing the advantages of both humans and High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit.

In an instant, a massive amount of data was collected by Cang Juehuan, then crossed the Dharma Realm to reach his private Calculation Pool for calculation, and was compared with the various spatial gate data collected by the Artifact Spirit Faction —data leading to higher levels.

"The calculation results are in; this spatial gate does indeed point to a direction beyond the 30th Layer of Kunxu."

"It really is that Emperor Beasts! Only with his permission will the higher-ups possibly open a door for Zhang Yu."

In Cang Juehuan's view, this was clearly a pre-arranged plan by the Wanfa Immortal Emperor, who even specially granted Zhang Yu a teleportation portal to openly steal their books.

"The Immortal Emperor himself intervened to suppress us; this is not a fault of our own."

"And what this Emperor Beasts has swallowed, don't expect it to spit out."

In an instant, numerous High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit sorted out and summarized the historical events related to the Wanfa Immortal Emperor, Cang Juehuan had already made a judgment in his heart.

Instead of getting bogged down in sunk costs and continuing down this path, we should seize this opportunity and strive to gain benefits in the upcoming meetings.

Thinking of this, Cang Juehuan immediately changed his posture and knelt down with a thud towards the direction of the Layer 33 of the Immortal Sect.

"Your Immortal Emperor! Actually, when I learned that the sect needed books, I already wanted to donate them."

"Minister Zhang, you've kept this book well! The sect can keep it; you don't need to return it to me!"

Cang Juehuan's actions immediately attracted everyone's attention.

A member of a book club messaged him. "Are you scared?"

Cang Juehuan didn't reply to the other party, but thought to himself, "Immortal Emperor opening the gate—who wouldn't be afraid of that?"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lian Zizi from the pharmaceutical company activated his forbidden technique, the Myriad Manifestations Eye, by circulating his internal magical power.

This is a magical Dao Arts maintained by the Immortal Class, capable of recognizing all things in the Dharma Realm.

At this moment, Lian Zizi used it to identify Zhang Yu in order to further understand Zhang Yu's background and gather intelligence about him.

"Insight! Open!"

In an instant, the whole world seemed to have gained a layer of vague information.

However, Lian Zizi paid no attention to this vague information, because he knew that his Myriad Visions had become a forbidden technique due to the account's abnormality.

But as a cultivator Tribulation Transcendence Realm High Cultivator his sect, he naturally had plenty of ways to use forbidden techniques.

He suddenly stared intently at Zhang Yu in front of him.

"The cost is transferred! My adopted sons, lend me your Divine Ability!"

With a thought, he sent the payment link to many of his adopted sons and subordinates.

Soon, Lian Zizi sons replied with their quotes to him.

Lian Zizi thought to himself, "The cultivator analysis services in Kunxu range from the lowest price of 0.1 immortal Immortal Coin to the millions for powerful cultivators at the Refining Void or Tribulation Transcendence Realm stages, and even some cultivators at the Ascension Realm can charge tens of millions of Immortal Coin for analysis—"

Lian Zizi knew that he didn't need to actually pay for the analysis; he only needed to know a rough price to determine the depth of the target cultivator's foundation.

It was precisely because he used the All-Seeing Eye for so long that his account became abnormal, and he turned this Dharma Realm Dao Arts into a forbidden art.

The next moment, he was slightly taken aback when he saw the quotes his adopted sons had sent him.

"520 million? 500 million? 530 million?"

Although prices vary slightly depending on how much users exploit loyal customers, the commonalities are obvious.

"Mysterious Lord Zhang's analysis service is priced at over 500 million?!"

At this moment, 500 million immortal Immortal Coin were highlighted above Zhang Yu's head by Lian Zizi, and the other party's figure seemed to be incredibly tall in his eyes.

Over the years, Lian Zizi has never investigated the existence of a service fee as high as 500 million.

The analysis by the immortal might cost 500 million, but Lian Zizi dared not use this technique on the immortal, simply because once activated—

I fear that, due to the causal relationship, the other party will immediately receive the information that they have been spied on, and then take action to retaliate.

Lian Zizi was deeply shocked. "Zhang Yu's analytical level is at the same level as an immortal? Impossible—there can't be such Tribulation Crossing Cultivator."

"That leaves only one possibility: something that could increase the price of his analysis a hundredfold—"

After glancing at the door to the Layer 33 again, Lian Zizi had already made a judgment. "This person probably has a deep connection with the Immortal Emperor, able to speak directly to Heaven, possesses social influence as high as the Layer 33, and contains a trace of connection with the Immortal Emperor, which is why he can command this price."

He sighed inwardly, "Our book has probably really reached the Layer 33. Zhang Yu's actions today are thanks to the Immortal Emperor personally stepping in to support him."

"So—yet they only took our books, not charging us a single extra penny. Mysterious Lord Zhang is truly virtuous."

"If we continue to resist at this point, it will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. On the contrary, we should take this opportunity to close the gap, and maybe we can even get a share of the profits from the creation of the Chain Law Diagram."

In principle, Lian Zizi doesn't want his things to be stolen, but now that principle itself is standing against him.

Thinking of this, Lian Zizi suddenly stood up and said, "Minister Zhang, my books also need to be donated to the sect, so there's no need to return them."

At the same time, Lian Zizi glanced at the chat history of the group called "Ten Thousand Methods Book Friends Group" and sent all the other people's messages to Zhang Yu.

He sent a private message to Zhang Yu: "Minister Zhang, I am different from these anti-religious elements. I have always supported your book collection!"

"From now on, I will keep an eye on them for you. If anyone still has books in their possession, I will report it to you immediately."

He specifically circled Cang Juehuan's chat history in the book club and said, "This Cang Juehuan loves to stir up trouble in the book club."

Zhang Yu glanced at the messages, then looked at the messages that others had just sent him.

Cang Juehuan: "It's this Lian Zizi's been trying to keep adding layers of pressure to delay your book-collecting process so he can sell the books he has for a better price! Besides the book he brought today, he's also hoarding two more books in his cave abode."

Group owner. "Mysterious Lord Zhang, why don't you become the group owner? Who else but you is the right person to be the group owner of our Ten Thousand Methods Book Club?"

As the many cultivators present used their methods one by one, some saw some superficial information, while others saw some deeper information, but without exception, they all eventually gave in.

Seeing the numerous cultivators instantly stunned by Zhang Yu's single-handedly and his Bu Yingshu's gaze towards Zhang Yu gradually changed. "Holding meetings is truly a good idea. I've heard that even the Immortal Emperor likes to hold meetings. I should also hold more meetings with other Immortal Clan in the future."

Looking at the smiling cultivators, Zhang Yu sensed the billions of flying swords within his body and suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment, as if he were about to draw his sword and look around.

"Unfortunately, although I possess the Divine Sword, I have no use for it."

The meeting continued, and Zhang Yu said, "The main purpose of today's meeting is to discuss what kind of Chain Law Diagram Kunxu needs. Please don't be shy; feel free to share your ideas. Let's learn from each other and make progress together."

Lian Zizi thought to himself, "I hope the main topic of the meeting is really about the creation Chain Law Diagram, and not about stealing our books."

Zhang Yu spoke of the tenets of various creation Chain Law Diagram, such as what it meant to be for sects, for Kunxu, and for Immortal Emperor —to the ears of many cultivators, these were all clichés.

However, not a single cultivator on the scene showed any impatience. Instead, they all looked at Zhang Yu Zhang Yu, as if listening to every word he uttered.

They were indeed listening to Zhang Yu, but not in the conference room; rather, they were listening to a private message Zhang Yu sent them.

Zhang Yu: "Cang Juehuan Xuanjun, the higher-ups have high hopes for your research on High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit. What do you think about developing the Chain Law Diagram in this direction? My knowledge in this area is limited, and I'd like to ask you some questions about Cultivation Method."

Cang Juehuan's heart skipped a beat. "Sure enough, small matters are discussed in large meetings, while important matters are discussed in private. The content of Minister Zhang's private conversation with me today is the key. My research—has it finally caught the attention of the higher-ups?!"

"Wait, a consultation about Cultivation Method?!"

"Could it be—could it be that among these Cultivation Method is one of the candidate Cultivation Method Zhang Yu wanted to use to create the Chain Law Diagram?!"

Looking at the list sent by Zhang Yu, Cang Juehuan paused, and a series of intense emotions flashed through his mind.

"No, that's not right. It can't be that simple. Zhang Yu wouldn't give me this kind of information so easily."

Despite constantly reminding himself of this, the lure of enormous profits gradually drove Heart Aspiring to Immortality for Cang Juehuan.

On the other side, Lian Zizi looked at the private message sent by Zhang Yu and was equally alert.

Zhang Yu: "The development of the pharmaceutical industry has always been a top priority for our sect. However, my experience in this area is limited, and I need to consult an expert like you on some issues, such as the few Cultivation Method I've been researching recently—"

Lian Zizi thought to himself, "Could these... these Cultivation Method be the Cultivation Method that are going to be added to the Chain Law Diagram this time?"

"These are all cheap Cultivation Method, and they're not expensive anyway. Why don't we buy out the Copyright and stock up on them?"

Meanwhile, as Zhang Yu chatted with the members of the book club, he also looked at the information about the Dharma Realm that appeared before him, thinking to himself, "Oh? Has someone already inquired about the price of the full Copyright for the Cultivation Method?"

The reason Zhang Yu received this message was because he had already arranged for someone to hold the copyrights on his behalf and had stockpiled a considerable amount of Cultivation Method Copyright.

These Cultivation Method themselves are niche Cultivation Method that few people buy, and even with full Copyright, they are quite cheap.

At this very moment, many cultivators from the book club sent people to inquire about the full Copyright price of these Cultivation Method, hoping to become the Copyright transferee.

Fu Ji burst into laughter. "These guys are really blinded by greed. They can't wait to hoard Copyright so they can make a fortune when the Chain Law Diagram comes out?"

Zhang Yu said, "They're just asking the price; they haven't fully taken the bait yet, but it's only a matter of time."

Watching the quotes from each inquirer gradually increase, Zhang Yu felt as if he had drawn lines on the price trends of various Cultivation Method, and the price trends of each Cultivation Method would follow the lines he had drawn.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is this what it feels like to have Immortal Emperor as your backing? Just a few words can bring in countless Immortal Coin."

O

Zhan Xian said, "This time, when the Immortal Emperor made us the Myriad Laws Divine Sword, we took the blame for him. But now that the Immortal Emperor has become the Myriad Laws Divine Sword in our hands, naturally he should take the blame for us."

Fu Ji exclaimed happily, "Everyone says it's hard to swindle money from the rich, but once you've latched onto the Immortal Emperor, it's so easy to cheat these wealthy sects out of their money!"

The Sect Examination Clone sighed, "Our understanding of the Immortal Emperor is still less than 1% complete."

As the meeting ended and they left, many cultivators recalled their private conversation with Zhang Yu, their hearts filled with excitement. Each of them felt that they had established a close connection with Zhang Yu and obtained important information, as if a Immortal Destiny of immortal wealth was about to fall into their laps.

However, each cultivator remained calm, and neither their expression nor their words revealed their inner excitement.

Cang Juehuan kept reminding himself, "What happened today must not be revealed in the slightest."

Watching the departing figures of the many cultivators, Sect Examination Clone laughed and said, "For the cultivators of Kunxu, the more you tell them what they can't say, the more likely they are to sell it as intelligence."

"But as long as you make them believe that this is news that can make them rich, they will naturally never tell anyone, even if it means dying."

Fu Ji glanced at the price trend of the Cultivation Method. Zhang Yu had spent about 5 million to stockpile the Copyright of the Cultivation Method, and in a short period of time, the price had already increased by 20%.

Fu Ji thought to herself, "Damn it—it's so satisfying to make money by setting your own policies."

Fu Ji asked, "Zhang Yu, how much higher do you plan to go before you sell?"

Zhang Yu said, "Let's wait until the Copyright price soars again."

Just then, Bu Yingshu approached, saying smugly, "How was it, Xiaoyu? I cooperated quite well today, didn't I?"

Today, Bu Yingshu, along with representatives of the Immortal Clan, cooperated with Zhang Yu and were the first to hand over the books they possessed.

Zhang Yu: "Xuan Lord Bu, thanks to your support, everything went smoothly today."

Bu Yingshu thought to herself, "I need to ask Zhang Yu about the information regarding the creation of the Chain Law Diagram, and preferably about the specific candidates for the Cultivation Method— "

But the thought of having to ask this former underling and pet for information made Bu Yingshu feel uneasy.

"Honestly, I've come all this way to help him and support him, can't he just take the initiative a little more?"

In Bu Yingshu's imagination, Zhang Yu should have treated her warmly and excitedly, and boasted about how awesome she was when she used to protect Zhang Yu.

Without Bu Yingshu needing to say much, Zhang Yu took the initiative to reveal the candidate Cultivation Method for creating the Chain Law Diagram.

"----Then I stopped him and told him that sect secrets cannot be revealed to just anyone. Even if I am Immortal Clan of the Immortal Clan and have a chance to the Ascension Realm immortality, it still won't do."

"Then Zhang Yu knelt down on the spot and said to me: 'Xuan Lord Bu, if it weren't for you back then, I would still be a front-line employee in the Yufa Pavilion reviewing Cultivation Method, working myself to the bone every month to meet my performance targets. Today, I must repay you this time.'"

"So I scolded him for not distinguishing between public and private matters and for lacking Sect Nature, then I turned and left, my expression indifferent, leaving him kneeling on the ground, desperately calling out for Xuan Lord Bu."

When I returned to my cave abode, I found a letter quietly lying in my mailbox from Zhang Yu, containing all the currently selected candidate Cultivation Method—

Seeing Bu Yingshu's increasingly warm smile, Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Xuan Lord Bu, is there something you need?"

Seeing Bu Yingshu hesitate for a long time, Zhang Yu finally spoke, "I understand."

Bu Yingshu's spirits lifted, just as Zhang Yu spoke, "I'm returning the Immortal Token Flying Shuttle you borrowed from me before."

As he spoke, Zhang Yu moved his mind, and with a shift in space, he sent the two flying shuttles to Bu Yingshu's front.

While Bu Yingshu daze, Zhang Yu continued, "Creating the Chain Law Diagram is of paramount importance. There are many people watching my current location, and if I keep these two flying shuttles here, I'm afraid the Immortal Emperor will misunderstand."

Watching Zhang Yu's departing figure, Bu Yingshu filled with a thousand thoughts.

Sect Examination Clone said, "Look at her eyes, they're like a puppy begging for food, her thoughts are written all over her face. If you give her a list of Cultivation Method, I bet she'll bet everything on them, even if it means going bankrupt."

Zhang Yu said, "There's no need."

With the conclusion of today's meeting, Zhang Yu knew that there would inevitably be lingering repercussions.

For example, there are constant notifications requesting friend slots, a flood of messages, invitations to various meetings and inspections, and recommendations for Cultivation Method sent to my email—

But Zhang Yu was sitting high on the fishing platform, ignoring these aftershocks for the time being, and returned to the deepest part of the Immortal Grotto-Heaven to sort out the books he had obtained.

"A total of 21 books were seized on the spot, including 18 Lesser Book and 3 Mid-Grade Book."

At this moment, in Zhang Yu's "Immortal Foundation Chapter," the progress of seeking the Dao in the [Cosmic Dao Orthodoxy] has reached 100%, and there is even an extra 45% progress that can be used for another Dao Orthodoxy.

At this moment, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh, "With the ' Feather Scroll ' in hand, coupled with the name of the Immortal Emperor and the gathering of sect resources to nourish my body, the speed of my cultivation is simply too fast."

As Zhang Yu's progress in seeking the Dao of the [Cosmic Dao Orthodoxy] reached 100%, Zhang Yu could feel that his Spatial Technology had received an epic upgrade.

"Right now, I might only need to accumulate strength for several decades to move a certain level of Kunxu away, such as moving the Layer 3 to the Layer 5, or moving the Layer 5 to the Layer 10."

"Most of the restrictions and Grotto-Heaven- heavens within Kunxu are no longer effective against me."

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt that with each breath, as his internal magical power circulated throughout the heavens and earth, the entire universe resonated with him, and the Spatial Structure of Kunxu seemed to gradually merge with him, guided by him.

"In this state, I can even interfere with the opponent's Spatial Technology, causing errors in their teleportation, transport, spatial scaling, and distortion."

"I can even temporarily disable my opponent's Spatial Technology; this is the blessing brought by the [Cosmic Dao Orthodoxy]."

Of course, Zhang Yu could also sense that although his progress in seeking the Dao had reached 100%, it was merely a matter of satisfaction.

The requirement of parasitizing this Dao Orthodoxy can be achieved when one establishes an immortality by borrowing the [Cosmic Dao Orthodoxy] to establish one's own Dao Orthodoxy.

"This is still a huge gap from the true master of the Dao Orthodoxy. After all, the [Cosmic Dao Orthodoxy] stands at the pinnacle of all Spatial Technology in Kunxu, and its true power is far more than this."

After sensing the new modules and functions brought by the 21 books, Zhang Yu did not rush to test them. Instead, he looked at the words that appeared on the "Feather Scroll".

"After incorporating elements from several books, the ' Feather Scroll ' revealed numerous characters."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is this also a message from my future self transmitted to the present through the ' Feather Scroll '? But this time, the writing doesn't seem to have disappeared automatically; instead, it remains permanently in the ' Feather Scroll.' What could be causing this?"

While pondering, Zhang Yu continued to carefully read the specific content of the lines of text in the "Feather Scroll".

The first thing he looked at was the writing that appeared in the "Feather Great Sage Book" after the "Great Feather Scroll" was merged with the "Feather Scroll".

"Does this record some historical events? Some secrets about the Demon Saint?"

Zhang Yu summarized. "The Second Demon Saint, after breaking through the heavens and establishing his Dao Orthodoxy, fought a great battle against the immortals. Although he was suppressed, this battle also caused the Kunlun realms to merge into one, turning the world into chaos, making it difficult for all living beings to survive."

Zhan Xian asked in bewilderment, "All realms united as one? Heaven and earth in a state of chaos? There's never been any such historical record in Kunxu, right? How ancient must that be?"

Zhang Yu then summarized. "The Third Demon Saint established Dao Orthodoxy, founded Demon Kingdom, and regarded all living beings in heaven and earth as demons—"

The Sect Examination Clone said, "Is this saying that this Third Demon Saint has integrated his Demon Descendant Bloodline into the bodies of all living beings in the world? Turning humans into demons? This doesn't seem to align with current research conclusions in the Immortal Research Realm, where there is a clear distinction between humans and Demon Descendant in terms of bloodline."

Zhang Yu shook his head and continued reading and summarizing, "The Fourth Demon Saint established Kunlun Ruins, with endless levels above and below, making it difficult for the immortals to control him—"

"The Fifth Demon Saint created Pure Land to protect a region from interference by later Dao Orthodoxy, in order to study the fundamental principles of Heavenly Principle— "

"The Sixth Demon Saint, stripped of flesh and blood, leaving only the spirit, will eliminate the distinctions of bloodlines and the need for material possessions among all living beings—"

As Zhang Yu read through the text, he found it increasingly absurd. "This seems to be a record of various Demon Saint who established Heavenly Dao lineages and accomplished great deeds that influenced the world in the history of Kunxu, but did these things really happen?"

"If these Demon Saint did such earth-shattering things and had such a drastic impact on the world, Kunxu shouldn't be like this now, and the Dao Orthodoxy they established seem to have vanished without a trace."

The Sect Examination Clone speculated, "Perhaps everything was corrected, and then all traces were erased by the Immortal Emperor— "

"There's another possibility," Zhan Xian said. "The contents of these writings are lost history, history from before each World Rollback."

Sect Examination Clone said, "But if it's the lost history before the rollback, why hasn't this information disappeared?"

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat. "Perhaps it's because—this information has already passed its expiration date."

"Just like the future information that Tai Zhen Taizhen sent us, as long as we get through the countdown and look at it again, the information will not disappear."
