Teacher, please call him Crown Prince (your late-night snack is ready, darlings)

After entering the Ascension Realm, Zhang Yu felt a strange change in his physical body.

"After the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, my Primordial Spirit and physical body have become one, and I now possess both macroscopic physical characteristics and microscopic Primordial Spirit characteristics."

"After reaching the Ascension Realm, my physical body entered what is known as the Immortal Embryo state."

After entering the Immortal Embryo state, Zhang Yu felt his Dao Heart, physical body, and magical power break through their limits once again.

"Ascension Realm: Dao Heart cap 80, Mana cap 1 billion, Physical Strength cap 80.00."

"Of course, with the [Creation Emperor Seed] within me, my potential is even higher, enough to reach the level of an immortal."

Furthermore, Zhang Yu also felt that the barriers to his own Cultivation Method were loosening, allowing him to level up again and comprehend and utilize higher-level Immortal Dao Technique.

Before breaking through, Zhang Yu had naturally already studied the relevant information about the Ascension Realm.

He knew that this so-called "Immortal Embryo" state was an intermediate or transitional state between humans and immortals.

"The so-called Ascension Realm is a stage that serves as the final preparation for the Ascension Realm immortality."

"In the state of Immortal Embryo, one gradually completes the transformation from human to immortal, accumulating all the necessary knowledge and experience, and finally takes that final step... to become an immortal and establish one's Dao."

However, Zhang Yu also understood that the ability to break through barriers at will and freely become an immortal was something that happened a long time ago.

"During the time of the Heavenly Virtue Immortal Emperor, the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Orthodoxy was already established. Not only must those in the Tribulation Crossing Realm undergo the Lightning Tribulation, but those at the peak of the Ascension Realm must also undergo the Heavenly Tribulation in order to become an immortal."

"Now, it is further constrained by the ' Immortalization Orthodoxy '."

As a cultivator who climbed up from the very bottom of Kunxu, Zhang Yu has rich grassroots experience and has personally witnessed the strict management of Cultivation Method, realms, and laws by the Ten Great Sects.

As for something as important as "becoming an immortal and establishing one's Dao," he knew, even if he didn't want to, that the Ten Great Sects would only manage it more strictly and without any blind spots.

"According to the information I currently have, the Immortalization Orthodoxy is Dao Orthodoxy jointly established by the Ten Great Sects to manage the matter of 'immortality.' It is responsible for managing the immortality process of the Ten Great Sects and has become the objective rule regarding immortality within Kunxu."

"This entire process can be called the Ascension Selection."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Simply put, the first step is the internal competition among the major sects, where a representative for the Ascension Realm will be selected from among the many Ascension Realm candidates within each sect."

"The second step involves ten Ascension Realm representatives from the Ten Great Sects competing to showcase their New Orthodoxy. They will engage in various Kunxu Combat Arts, including propaganda, spending money, and mutual attacks, to garner support from different regions within the Ten Great Sects."

"The reason for doing this is said to be that by Immortalization Orthodoxy, the support rate of cultivators can be directly used to strengthen the Law Edict and meet the requirements for the Law Edict to be upgraded to Dao Orthodoxy."

Ultimately, the top three people with the highest approval ratings will receive the blessing of the Immortalization Orthodoxy an immortal and establishing their own path, thus becoming an immortal.

Just as these documents flashed through Zhang Yu's mind, Zhan Xian couldn't help but sigh, "When we established the Immortalization Orthodoxy and set up this whole process of Ascension Selection, it was also in the hope that every newly promoted immortal could establish Dao Orthodoxy that would benefit the entire Kunxu."

Fu Ji chuckled and said, "The initial intention was good, but the execution went wrong, didn't it?"

While flipping through the information on the Spirit Realm, Fu Ji said, "These days, the Ascension Selection has become a competition where whoever has the most money has the most aggressive publicity campaign, the strongest Internet Water Army, and the most lobbying groups. They can promote their products to various sects and reap huge amounts of support."

Fu Ji sighed, "This Ascension Selection is simply a money-burning competition. It requires a battle of money, connections, and resources; it's about making empty promises to the entire Kunxu."

"After all this, even after becoming an immortal, one will be severely weakened and will need to frantically acquire money and resources."

Zhan Xian sighed and said, "If that were the case, it wouldn't be so bad. The key issue is that under the current ecosystem of Kunxu, the cultivators of the various sects are forced to be short-sighted and only want to support the Dao Orthodoxy that is most beneficial to them at this moment."

"However, Ascension Realm means that once one becomes an immortal and the Dao Orthodoxy is established, the support of Lower Cultivator is no longer needed. Before long, the Dao Orthodoxy will operate purely for self-interest and the interests of the Immortal Class."

While Fu Ji and Zhan Xian were exchanging words, Zhang Yu was contemplating the current situation.

"Now that the Ten Immortal Emperors have departed, I wonder how this Ascension Selection will proceed?"

"Still 18 years from now? That's a bit too late. The Ten Immortal Emperors won't just wait for us."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh.

He originally thought he had at least 18 years to prepare and try to compete in the next Ascension Selection.

However, the sudden rise of the Ten Immortal Emperors shattered all his plans. Zhang Yu was helpless in the face of this, as the Immortal Emperor could not possibly act according to his expectations.

He had long since silently adapted to this situation, after all, this was not the first time such a thing had happened since he embarked on the Immortal Dao.

Whether it's the upheaval brought about by Wang Yin, the financial crisis during university, the cult's siege, the University War, the Great Saint Will's will appearing in the sect, the collapse of the Old Days Graveyard, or the rollback caused by the Immortal Emperor Tai Zhen... the changes in the world are always so sudden and unexpected, never giving people time to prepare in advance.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This is Kunxu. The High Cultivator are always changing the environment, making all the preparations of the Lower Cultivator futile."

Faced with the sudden change in the situation, Zhang Yu could only do his best to adapt to the changes.

Having gathered information on the Immortalization Orthodoxy and the Ascension Selection, he made a judgment in his mind.

"The Ascension Selection may be held ahead of schedule. I need to advance as soon as possible and take this opportunity to become an immortal."

While Zhang Yu was pondering, his clones began to cultivate various Cultivation Method, tempering their Dao Heart, magical power, and Physical Strength.

Meanwhile, other thoughts began contacting individuals in their address books to prepare for their various plans.

Meanwhile, inside the 17th Layer of the Myriad Laws Sect.

Tai Yuebai's thoughts connected the Spirit Realm and the Dharma Realm, and he was stunned as he watched the various messages change.

He could somewhat understand why the Ten Immortal Emperors and Ying Xintian had disappeared without a trace; in his view, it was simply that the Immortal Emperor had changed their battle location.

But Zhang Yu...

"Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince? How could Zhang Yu become the Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince? And even temporarily manage the sect and act expediently?"

"The Wanfa Immortal Emperor actually granted Zhang Yu such great power?"

"Could it be a desire to split Kunxu? To divide the sect into two, and govern in separate tiers?"

Tai Yuebai's mind raced. "Is this a good thing or a bad thing? But compared to those Immortal Class above, Zhang Yu is indeed more trustworthy."

"But what if Zhang Yu is controlled by the Wanfa Immortal Emperor? Is it possible that the Wanfa Immortal Emperor has already subdued Zhang Yu and is using him to remotely control the Myriad Laws Sect?"

Just then, a series of notifications appeared before Tai Yuebai's eyes.

"Huh? I've been relieved of my duties?"

Just as Tai Yuebai was startled, another new order came, "I've been appointed as the Crown Prince Registrar? Is this Zhang Yu's appointment? Does he want me to be his secretary?"

Thinking of this, Tai Yuebai immediately contacted Zhang Yu to inquire about the specific situation.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Big Brother, I can't pretend I didn't see all those Dao Seed on you."

The reason Zhang Yu arranged for Tai Yuebai to be his secretary was that Zhang Yu planned to observe her closely and continuously copy the Dao Seed from her.

However, the Ten Great Sects currently beset by internal and external crises, and the Spirit Realm is also in turmoil. Countless Orthodox God are patrolling within the Myriad Laws Sect, so Zhang Yu did not intend to reveal his abilities. He simply said, "Big Brother, Senior Ying Xintian and the Ten Immortal Emperors have left together to begin their final battle."

"Now that the Finality near, the Immortal Class of the various sects are still fighting for power and profit. How can they save Kunxu by associating with these insects?"

"After much thought, I've concluded that the only person within the Myriad Laws Sect I can truly trust and who can best help me save Kunxu is you, my great-brother."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, Tai Yuebai was shocked, and a feeling of being trusted welled up inside her.

"Yes, within the Myriad Laws Sect today, there are probably only the two of us who can truly trust each other and who have truly inherited Senior Ying Xintian's will."

At the same time, another idea welled up in Tai Yuebai's mind. "Then I will become his secretary and help him save Kunxu. At the same time, I can also keep an eye on him. If he is really controlled by the Wanfa Immortal Emperor, or changes his mind, I will stop him in place of Senior Ying Xintian."

Upon seeing the news that Zhang Yu had Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince, Yu Xinghan felt a surge of magical power coursing through his body.

"Your Highness, I am Yu Xinghan, your most loyal and trusted minister."

The news about the decisive battle of the Ten Immortal Emperors and the Apocalypse of the End is currently only circulating among the upper echelons of various sects and has not been announced to all cultivators.

Yu Xinghan was naturally unaware of this. In his view, it was the Wanfa Immortal Emperor who issued an edict to directly appoint Zhang Yu as the Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince and to manage the sect.

"It's beyond description; it's like rising to the top in one step."

"A cultivator who climbs up from the first level can become the Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince! Our Myriad Laws Sect's selection system and the fluidity of cultivation levels are simply the best among the Ten Sects!"

"The Immortal Emperor truly has a discerning eye for talent!"

Yu Xinghan was extremely excited at this moment, because he considered himself a veteran of the Crown Prince Party. Now that Zhang Yu had achieved the position of Crown Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince, his group of Crown Prince Party members would surely rise to prominence as well.

He eagerly awaited news of his promotion and appointment, but instead received messages from various parties first.

Starfire Lord: "Xing Han, what happened to Zhang Yu?"

Yu Xinghan: "Please address me as Crown Prince, teacher!"

Just then, several notifications flashed before Yu Xinghan's eyes, and his mind trembled several times.

"Promoted to Rank 6 ahead of schedule."

"A temporary Tribulation Transcendence Certificate is hereby granted."

"Appointed as the head of the Law Article Review Department."

Yu Xinghan's heart skipped a beat. "Isn't this His Highness the Crown Prince's former position? Does he want me to review the Law Article on his behalf?"

While pondering, Yu Xinghan quickly sent a message of thanks to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu replied, "Xing Han, my plan for you is to replace Su Xianchen as the chairman of the Law Article Management Committee in the future."

"At that time, you will be the Myriad Laws Divine Sword in my hand, clearing away the Law Article for me and controlling Ten Thousand Methods."

Now that Zhang Yu has become the Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince, he naturally wants to completely control the Law Article Management Committee, as the legislator of "the Law Article Validity Period".

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The interface that I left for the Wanfa Immortal Emperor is now my turn to use."

"When the time comes, I'll let Yu Xinghan review and apply for any Law Article I want to censor, and then I'll approve and implement them myself."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xinghan felt a surge of energy throughout his body, even more exhilarating than when he broke through to the Void Refining Realm.

Yu Xinghan replied, "Your Highness, please rest assured, even if it means going bankrupt, I will definitely complete the task you have entrusted to me."

Magnetic Pole seeing the news that Zhang Yu had been promoted to Crown Prince of the Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince, Ciji was shocked. "Crown Prince? Does the Myriad Laws Sect need a Crown Prince?"

From the perspective of the Magnetic Pole Wanfa Immortal Emperor is immortal and has long lifespan, so why would he need a crown prince?

Old Gao, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Perhaps the Immortal Emperor saw Zhang Yu's talent and confidence at the Bookholder Conference and wants to nurture him properly."

Magnetic Pole scoffed at this, but she understood that since it was the Immortal Emperor's arrangement, everyone could only go along with it.

"Who cares why? Let's take advantage of the benefits first."

Thinking of this, Magnetic Pole nudged Old Gao beside him and said, "Quickly send Zhang Yu a congratulatory message, and then find an opportunity to ask him for a good position."

Old Gao said, "I've done a good job with the construction here at Grotto-Heaven, what position do I need?"

Magnetic Pole said, "No matter how vast Immortal Grotto-Heaven is, it's still just one Grotto-Heaven. Zhang Yu has now become the Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince, and it's time for him to make his mark. Don't you want to help him more?"

"Fine, if you won't tell him, I'll talk to him. At a time like this, he's probably thinking about how to promote us."

Just then, a series of notifications appeared in front of Old Gao.

"Will I serve as the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Grotto-Heaven Pavilion, in charge of the Spatial Structure of the various Grotto-Heaven?"

Upon seeing this, Old Gao's spirits lifted, and he thought to himself, "Is Zhang Yu going to have me deal with the widespread corruption in all the major Grotto-Heaven?"

Just then, Zhang Yu sent a message: "Teacher, I'll be troubling you with the task of re-registering the Grotto-Heaven tax and returning the public 'Gongtan' Grotto-Heaven Grotto-Heaven the Myriad Laws Sect in the future."

On the other side, the Magnetic Pole also received the notification.

Magnetic Pole thought to himself, "The Pavilion Master of the Treasure Archive Pavilion Law Treasure is responsible for managing the sect's magical treasures?"

The Myriad Laws Sect possesses a large number of sect Law Treasure, which are an important part of the sect's assets.

Zhang Yu knew that he would definitely be using, purchasing, and even selling a large number of these sect Law Treasure in the future, and since such a lucrative position was so valuable, he naturally wanted to put someone he trusted in it.

Zhang Yu said, "Teacher, I don't trust anyone else to take this position. I'll have to trouble you to make the trip."

Magnetic Pole said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you manage all the magical Law Treasure in this sect perfectly."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "After Master Magnetic Pole studies the information on various sect Law Treasure, he can enrich the database of [Tiangong Kaiwu] and improve the refining effect of this Dao Seed."

Zhang Yu planned to wait until Magnetic Pole had made further progress here, absorbed the essence of various Law Treasure from the Myriad Laws Sect, and improved his cultivation before assigning him to a more important position to supervise the creation of various Law Treasure.

Meanwhile, within the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, Tu Lishan looked at the appointment notice before him and thought to himself, "The Chairman of the Feathering Grotto-Heaven Management Committee? The entire committee reports directly to the Crown Prince."

The so-called Feathering Grotto-Heaven is the new name for Zhang Yu's Immortal Grotto-Heaven.

Looking at the responsibilities of the Feathering Grotto-Heaven Management Committee, Tu Lishan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. "This is to build the Feathering Grotto-Heaven into the center of the Myriad Laws Sect, to create the number one city in Kunxu, and to initiate a ten-thousand-year construction plan."

Heavenly Observation Hall.

Le Mulan exclaimed in surprise, "Me? The Vice Palace Master of the Heavenly Observation Hall? I haven't been at the Heavenly Observation Hall for very long..."

Zhang Yu said, "Mu Lan, I have only recently ascended to the position of Crown Prince, and my control over the Myriad Laws Sect is too weak. I cannot rest easy without my own people in charge of the Heavenly Observation Hall."

Le Mulan said, "Isn't Palace Master Dugu Ming still here?"

In Le Mulan's view, Dugu Ming was extremely loyal to the Myriad Laws Sect and was a well-known loyal subject of the sect.

But Zhang Yu shook his head upon hearing this and said, "I don't trust him."

For Zhang Yu, Dugu Ming's consistent behavior showed that he was far too loyal to the Wanfa Immortal Emperor.

Heaven knows whether the Wanfa Immortal Emperor left any restrictions or methods on him.

It can be said that the Wanfa Immortal Emperor's long-term plans, his various far-sighted and cunning schemes, have aroused great fear in Zhang Yu's heart.

Especially after ascending to the position of Ten Thousand Methods Crown Prince and facing pressure from the Ten Immortal Emperors and the Immortal Class, Zhang Yu felt that there were loopholes and problems everywhere in the Myriad Laws Sect.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If only I could monitor every space and every person within the sect. I could immediately know who possesses a Dao Seed, who still has books, who can be trusted, who is loyal to the Wanfa Immortal Emperor, and who is loyal to me, the Crown Prince..."
