Zhang Yu

Biodata

Power Progression

Personality

Zhang Yu is intensely pragmatic. Financial pressure shapes many of his choices: he repays loans as soon as he can, sells competition slots when advantageous, turns personal talents into income, and repeatedly treats money as cultivation resources rather than a luxury. 12 155 178

He is also cautious beneath his ambition. He rejects dangerous or illegal ways of making money, deliberately conceals the speed of his breakthroughs, and refuses to expose his full strength in major tests and fights unless necessary. 173 176 229

His work ethic is exceptional. Whether cultivating, studying artifact crafting, working construction, or auditing methods for the Sect, he relentlessly optimizes his time and output. This persistence is paired with a willingness to take calculated risks when he believes delay would cost him future opportunities. 306 480 786

Personal freedom is a central motivation. Although he initially follows the cultivation ambitions inherited with his new body, he eventually resolves to become strong enough to remove the Ritual Power compelling his actions. He also decides to conceal his origin on Earth unless absolutely necessary. 4 6

Despite his financial calculations, he remembers aid received in hardship and resists treating poorer acquaintances as disposable. He refuses to regard Bai Zhenzhen’s early support as a debt that can simply be repaid with a larger sum, gives Mo Tianyi 100,000 yuan after recalling the Poor People Alliance’s earlier help, and shelters displaced acquaintances without charging them. 55 247 540

As his influence grows, so does his sense of responsibility. He explicitly seeks to protect those who have entrusted their lives and fortunes to him, even when Zhang Pianpian fears that such obligations could crush him. He later refuses to kill Le Mulan despite pressure connected to a mission from the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor. 671 990

He can use flattery, public personas, and rival factions’ expectations to secure opportunities, but does not accept every profitable proposal. During negotiations over his Lightning Tribulation, he obtains improved financial terms yet refuses to participate in publicity he considers false. 802 950 1002 1036

Abilities & Skills

Feather Scroll, Dao Seeds, and Chain Law Diagrams

Zhang Yu's Feather Scroll records cultivation progress and grants him an extraordinary capacity to internalize techniques through repeated practice. It first manifests as a black book from the mark on his palm after the Evil God awakens his potential. 5 12 801

• Chain Law Diagram sets — Combines completed cultivation-method sets into persistent special effects. The Golden Core Sacred Body grants an additional Dao Foundation layer that remains even after switching sets. 680
• Wanfa Immortal Clan — Obtained after extracting Immortal Dao Techniques alongside Bu Yingshu. It provides rewards tied to refining cultivation methods, including selectable level increases for Advanced Cultivation Methods. 802 803
• Dao Seed copying — Determines and fulfills conditions to copy and improve Dao Seeds, including helping Tai Yuebai intimidate Refining Void cultivators to obtain Emperor’s Dominion over the Nine Heavens. Copying and upgrading requirements reflect a Dao Seed’s nature: Deep Cold Magic Vein requires improvements in Magical Power and its quality, while Tiangong Kaiwu requires joint Law Treasure design. 956
• Emperor’s Dominion over the Nine Heavens — Its Lv. 1 effect makes his words more persuasive to people of lower cultivation realms. 956
• Creation Emperor Seed — Absorbed bloodline information from Tan Taizhen’s legacies to raise this Dao Seed to Lv. 8. At Lv. 5, it enabled cultivation methods to become innate bloodline divine abilities and provided a route to breaking their normal level limits. 1023 1025
• Heaven-Given Dao-Proving Scripture — A supreme Heaven-Opening cultivation method awakened through Tan Taizhen’s legacy. It treats copied or granted Dao Seeds as extensions of his bloodline. 1025
• Additional Specializations through book integration — Merging the Fist Manual and Breath Circulation Manual into the Feather Scroll adds one fist-technique Specialization and one Breathing Technique Specialization per day beyond the prologue’s original daily selection. The books can be detached and reintegrated. 1030
• Cultivation Notes Lesser Books — More than a dozen Lesser Books provide continuously operating Chain Law Diagrams that improve comprehension, aptitude, constitution, physical strength, Magical Power, and related qualities. 1073
• Infinite Book — Allows him to deposit Magical Power and accumulate points that can later increase his Magical Power limit. This cannot independently break his realm’s limit, but can accelerate development immediately after a major breakthrough. 1073

The Feather Scroll’s cultivation progress requires actual repeated practice. Supplementary reading, instruction, and Three-Eyed Divine Power do not directly replace that practice, although improved observation can assist his practical work. 529

Cultivation Aptitude

Zhang Yu displays abnormal speed in mastering and refining cultivation methods.

• Completed the first level of Boundless Spring Autumn Zen in 32 minutes and 15 seconds, then intentionally repeated practice sessions to conceal the speed of his progress. 173
• Corrects physical and Magical Power errors during practice without repeating them, allowing compatibility with Boundless Spring Autumn Zen to rise dramatically in only a few rounds. 173
• Reached Lv. 20 in Boundless Spring Autumn Zen, gaining a hibernation-like state that accelerates healing and toxin digestion. 273
• Raised ten Advanced Martial Arts techniques derived from Derivative Cultivation Methods under Bu Yingshu’s experimentation and guidance. 803

Its beginner effect also improves comprehension of macro- and microscopic mysteries and doubles the speed of Lightning Tribulation body tempering. 1047
• After his spatial path-seeking transformations, can master Spatial Technology cultivation methods to his current realm’s limit within hours to a day even without Feather Scroll Specialization. 1050

His combat style combines overwhelming physical development, refined martial technique, Astral Qi, and high-output martial arts.

• Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm — Reached Lv. 10 and developed the Dragon Tendon Elephant Bone effect, strengthening his body’s capacity to withstand and transmit explosive force. 151
• Earthly Fiend Return Origin Art — Reached Lv. 10; while standing on the ground, passively absorbs Earthly Fiend Magnetism to restore stamina. 241

• Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power — Reached Lv. 15 through dual-cultivation testing, then broke through to Lv. 17 and Lv. 18 during battle against Yue Guanqung. Later reached Lv. 50 alongside the seven component methods of the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering. 478 486 831
• Kunlun in Palm — An Immortal Sect Technique cultivated to Lv. 40 upon his Nascent Soul breakthrough. It manipulates space and, when paired with Descendant of Immortals power, can form a soundless, dark domain that suppresses enemies. 696

• Martial Dao Subtlety — The Advanced Martial Dao Sacred Body effect provides precise awareness and control of physical force and Astral Qi, allowing techniques to consistently exert their peak power. It also improves the coordination of Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force and Small Three Harmonies in his Earth Giant. 415 432
• Astral Qi force transmission — After reaching Physical Strength Lv. 15, can transmit the force of punches, kicks, and smaller movements through Astral Qi beyond direct contact. 332

• Spirit Transformation Dao Body — Developed to 17/14. Its Infinite tier increases the set’s effects by 20%. 831

Spatial Arts

Zhang Yu uses spatial techniques for defense, battlefield control, transportation, and large-scale engineering.

• Great Void Cloud Storage — Stores major assets and constructs, including the Heavenly Sun Brilliant God. 708
• Immortal Grotto-Heaven — Serves as a base for development, cultivation, equipment production, and resource management. He integrates an advanced Calculation Pool and a Dark Spirit Realm into its administration. 854 883
• Spatial path-seeking affinity — At 20% path-seeking progress, greatly improves the strength, range, and efficiency of spatial distortion, transportation, and isolation. His improved control of Kunxu’s Spatial Structure and the Immortal Grotto-Heaven reduces the operating cost of his transportation hub by over 50%. 1050

Artifact Crafting and Construction

Zhang Yu applies cultivation principles to both artifact production and civil engineering.

• Artifact Forging Prodigy — Completed its sixth cultivation method, doubling the practice effect of Artifact Production Techniques. 529
• Azure Sand forging — Reached Lv. 2, improving forging success rate and product quality while reducing forging time to 15 minutes. 406
• Empress Wa Manufacturing — Creates temporary Law Treasures from Magical Power. Its later effects allow such creations to persist for up to six hours and operate automatically with sufficient power. Their performance depends on his mastery of the original treasure; demonstrated creations include Heavenly Sun Brilliant God, Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword, and Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor. 930
• Formless Warriors — Can control up to ten at once for construction work, substantially increasing his output. 347
• Tiangong Kaiwu — Used for Law Treasure design, including a stocking blueprint tailored to Bai Zhenzhen and the design of Great Void Cloud Storage. Designing with others also contributes to its Dao Seed development. 569 725 956
• Grotto-Heaven production infrastructure — Establishes laboratories and production lines with the help of Magnetic Pole and Shadow Spring. By his later Refining Void development, Calculation Pools and multiple classes of construction and combat puppets reach Lv. 60. 854 1002

Mental and Transformative Techniques

• Immeasurable Inner Heart Dharma Body — A mental cultivation method that grants multiple simultaneous thought processes: two tasks at Lv. 10, Quadruple Thinking at Lv. 20, and eightfold thinking at Lv. 30. 698
• Three-Eyed Divine Power — At Lv. 2, improves self-healing and enables detailed observation of his own body. Its enhanced minute observation later assists rune engraving and the handling of Law Treasure Magical Power Circuits. 347 529
• Muscle transformation — Can manipulate musculature to change his appearance and physique; demonstrated this through Lv. 10 Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi during high school, and later training lets him imitate a target’s appearance almost instantly. 91 273 340
• Deep Cold Magic Vein — Copied from Le Mulan. Its Frost Magical Power can spread Cold Poison, freeze Astral Qi, kill germs, and freeze wounds. He also investigates its possible ability to slow lifespan loss, but initially treats that effect as unconfirmed. 336
• Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation — At Lv. 50, enables transformations into flames, gales, water, earth and stone, and metal, with increasingly natural control. 831
• Hell Soul Washing Scripture — At Lv. 50, permits more flexible manipulation of memories, including pouring memories into another person’s sea of consciousness. 831
• Thirty-Two-Layered Clones — One of his principal Divine Transformation combat resources, used in coordination with Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation and the Immortal Grotto-Heaven. His avatars also cultivate and refine techniques while his main body acts elsewhere. 831 851
• Sect Examination Clone — Can handle ideological testing on his behalf, passing the Orthodox Gods’ Sect Nature test through a staged Righteous-Demonic War scenario. 812
• Azure Lotus Sword Embryo / Feather Spirit Root adaptation — Adaptively develops in response to his cultivation. Its benefits include residual Chain Law Diagram effects outside their equipped sets, stronger resistance to attacks, and anchoring of the Immortal Grotto-Heaven with the Overbearing Body ability. Its power later extends into his bloodline and connects with Creation Emperor Seed and Heaven-Given Dao-Proving Scripture. 409 1034

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Feather Scroll — Records his cultivation progress and supports his cultivation-method specialization. Later integrates compatible books to expand its functions. 12 803 1030
• Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor — Personally forged armor that materially improves his underwater combat capability. Magnetic Extremes True Lord upgraded it to Lv. 20 for the Top Ten League. 625 630
• No. 20 Secret Steel — Refined into his arm bones, increasing their weight and durability. 316
• Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact — Successfully infused with Magical Power; attached itself to his forehead after activation. 480
• Advanced Calculation Pool — Retrieved by Director Gao from the Old Days Graveyard Experimental Area; Zhang Yu considers it exceptionally valuable for operating his Grotto-Heaven systems. It becomes the center of the Dark Spirit Realm established there by Fu Ji. 883
• Heavenly Sun Brilliant God — A construct stored in Great Void Cloud Storage; at Lv. 31, it can generate heat sufficient to melt surrounding structures. Its later Lv. 40 version can scorch an area spanning a thousand li, boil mountains and seas, and refine enormous quantities of matter into Magical Power. 708 725
• Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword — At Lv. 40, establishes a thousand-li Sword Formation, transmits power throughout the formation, severs Spirit Realm connections, and detects enemies. 725
• Purple Mansion Golden Core — The expensive Golden Core used for his breakthrough. Especially suited to realm advancement and gives him a higher computing-power ceiling than an ordinary Golden Core. 677
• Nine Hells Mountain Suppressing Belt — Provides repeated gravity tempering, including training at thirty times normal gravity during his Foundation Establishment development. 332 349
• Fist Manual and Breath Circulation Manual — Books that can be incorporated into or detached from the Feather Scroll, expanding its daily Specialization capacity. 1030
• Infinite Book — Stores invested Magical Power as points for later increases to his Magical Power limit within his realm’s ceiling. 1073
• Lower-Grade Alchemy Book — Brought to him by Liu Qianxian. Zhang Yu finds that it has failed but still absorbs it into the Feather Scroll while planning to preserve the Scroll’s functions through additional Dao Orthodoxies. 1073

Relationships

• Bai Zhenzhen — Closest companion, lover, and cultivation partner. Zhang Yu rescued her after reaching Foundation Establishment, while Bai Zhenzhen is fiercely protective of him during the Top Ten League. Her early gift of 500 yuan and a meal becomes a lasting symbol of support he refuses to reduce to an ordinary monetary debt. Her evolving Spirit Root assists his cultivation, and he later fuses her True Spirit Root with his Feather Spirit Root while confronting the World-Casting Furnace. She also warns him about the conflict gathering around the Bookholder Conference. 55 130 257 628 883 936 1073
• Zhang Pianpian — His elder sister. She provides information, warnings, financial guidance, and support for high-risk decisions, including helping him communicate with the Yin Artifact. They mutually refrain from probing each other’s secrets and protect one another. She worries that his determination to protect everyone relying on him could become an unbearable burden. 273 480 493 671
• Magnetic Pole / Magnetic Extremes True Lord — Zhang Yu designated her as his guiding teacher; she is publicly recognized as his master. Initially accepted him provisionally under conditions, later upgraded his armor and supported his research. She subsequently joins the Old Days Graveyard Development Zone, and Zhang Yu gives her the Myriad Phenomena Chain Law Diagram before Third-Generation Legislation. 346 432 625 852 879 1036
• Director Gao / Azure Wood Divine Lord — His first mentor at Ten Thousand Laws University and a continuing guide in martial arts, civil engineering, and Old Days Graveyard development. Zhang Yu formally becomes his disciple under a comparatively lenient support-and-profit-sharing contract. Gao later helps recover equipment and expand the Immortal Grotto-Heaven’s development zone. 441 463 879 883 1073
• Yu Xinghan — Trusted friend and frequent collaborator. Zhang Yu shares martial-dao insights with him, supports the development of his Three-Eyed Divine Power, and later asks him to assist in the Development Zone. Their relationship develops beyond rivalry into a community of shared interests; Yu Xinghan sincerely hopes Zhang Yu will reach the Sect’s summit. Zhang Yu helps raise his Three-Eyed Divine Power to Lv. 5 and later supplies Myriad Phenomena for his legislative preparations. 591 796 879 883 941 1036
• Ye Xingli — Senior Sister and artifact-crafting associate. She assists his training, helps sell his practice products, and later serves as his assistant in the Development Zone. Her Law Article, Revision Renewal, gives him a means to require amendments to Law Articles. 357 406 854 1073
• Bu Yingshu — Immortal Clan collaborator and political connection. Their joint extraction and experimentation with cultivation methods allows Zhang Yu to develop new Dao Seed and Chain Law Diagram effects. She actively seeks protection for him during the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan affair and expects his exclusive political support, while Zhang Yu uses her confidence in him to mobilize assistance. By the later Bookholder preparations, he defeats her in martial sparring. 802 803 848 944 989 1073
• Fu Ji — Adviser whose guidance often focuses on exploiting opportunities and advancing Zhang Yu’s power, though her motives are not always selfless. He appoints her Chief Network Administrator of the Immortal Grotto-Heaven’s Dark Spirit Realm. 176 883 888
• Le Mulan — Longstanding sparring partner, landlord, cultivation collaborator, and ally whom Zhang Yu rescues during the Nascent Soul conflict. He copies her Deep Cold Magic Vein and involves her in researching its effects. When her pharmaceutical project restricts their contact, he intervenes rather than abandon her, and subsequently refuses to kill her under pressure. 127 130 336 696 989 990
• Spark True Person / Starfire Lord — High-school teacher and mentor who gives him intensive training before the Gaokao. Zhang Yu continues to value his help after rising through the Sect; this attachment later makes Spark an effective intermediary for interests seeking concessions over Zhang Yu’s legislative pilot. 274 276 670 980
• Divine Lord Ci Ji — University patron whose inheritor Zhang Yu becomes during his Nascent Soul development, alongside taking responsibility for affairs of the Spatial Technology Research Association. 721
• Tai Yuebai — Reformist legislative associate and political counterpart. Zhang Yu helps intimidate trainees to copy his Dao Seed, while both privately consider using the other to conceal their plans. 941 950 956
• Tan Taizhen — Source of a crucial inheritance that allows Zhang Yu to break the normal upper limits of his foundational attributes, develop Creation Emperor Seed, and awaken Heaven-Given Dao-Proving Scripture. 1023 1025
• Mo Tianyi and the Poor People Alliance — Earlier supporters whose financial help Zhang Yu remembers after becoming wealthy. He gives Mo Tianyi 100,000 yuan rather than cutting ties with the struggling group. 247
• Zhao Tianxing — School friend whose body Zhang Yu unsuccessfully tries to recover after Oasis Group sells it to a Second Layer client. Zhao later assists him as a Soul Cultivator operating construction Law Treasures. 250 427

History

Songyang High School

The original Zhang Yu was a high-achieving student from Dongyang Junior High School whose family lacked the resources needed for competitive Immortal Dao education. After failed interviews and costly preparatory study, he entered Songyang High School but accumulated over 700,000 yuan in debt through tutoring, cultivation medicine, and borrowing to repay earlier loans. His parents had separated, and his mother eventually stopped repaying his mounting debts and left him. 1 4

A transmigrator from Earth subsequently awakens as Zhang Yu, inheriting his memories and financial predicament. Suspecting a connection between his transmigration and the original owner’s Inviting God Ritual, he conceals his Earth origin. The summoned Evil God awakens his potential, leading to the appearance of the Feather Scroll, while the Ritual Power’s demands give him a personal reason to seek strength and freedom. 1 4 5 6

Zhang Yu began as a financially strained student burdened by loans. After leaving Xianyun Corporation, he mastered the Heavenly Cycle Qi Gathering Method and used it to stabilize Magical Power that had previously run out of control. 12

He rapidly established himself as a high-school martial arts talent. He nearly completed the Heavenly Human Heart Refinement Art despite lacking the necessary Dao Heart level, impressed Li Xuelian enough that she offered to introduce him to her Golden Core father, and became a major contender in school competitions. 21 119

After winning the Physical Competition, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen sold their Dao Heart Competition slots to the Three Great High Schools for a combined 2.3 million yuan after tax, buying time and resources for their own studies. 155

His rise also draws pressure from Songyang’s established interests. Zhou Yang directs Zhou Chechen to corner him within the rules in order to expose the Evil God believed to stand behind him. Later, despite improved wealth and public standing, Zhang Yu is unable to persuade Oasis Group to recover Zhao Tianxing’s sold body. 190 247 250

Foundation Establishment and University

During the Foundation Establishment Exam, Zhang Yu mastered Boundless Spring Autumn Zen at an alarming pace while hiding the full extent of his aptitude from examiners. 173

He entered the Foundation Establishment Realm through the Qi Sea Spiritual Root, then immediately used his new power to rescue the captured Bai Zhenzhen and defeat Zhou Yang along with multiple Qi Refining experts. 257

Following an attack attributed to suspected Oasis Group agents, Bai Zhenzhen comes under protection after awakening a Divine Spiritual Root. Zhang Yu spends a month undergoing Spark True Person’s intensive training, then chooses Ten Thousand Laws University and departs for Kunxu’s Second Layer after the Gaokao. 276

At Ten Thousand Laws University, Zhang Yu developed in both Civil Engineering and Artifact Crafting. He worked construction projects, used available materials to strengthen his body, and became a Model Worker before being selected for a Wilderness Project. 306

He continues advancing through construction work, medicinal support, and gravity training. After copying Le Mulan’s Deep Cold Magic Vein, he investigates its combat and medical applications. Repeated simulated lives in the Spirit Realm help him achieve Spirit-Flesh Unity, while Magnetic Extremes True Lord accepts him as a provisional student. 332 336 345 346

His endurance and force-redirection methods become important assets in civil engineering competitions. He fights through coordinated attacks, disables Bu Ziran, and cooperates with Xiao Qingxuan and Shi Huaiyu to force several opponents to surrender. He later signs Director Gao’s contract and becomes his formal disciple while continuing his civil engineering studies. 381 386 441

As his artifact-crafting ambitions grow, he studies Karma Relic blueprints and technologies needed for Heavenly Sun Brilliant God. His progress also attracts hostility: Feng Yuhan traps him in a communications-blocking lockdown and demands key organs, which Zhang Yu refuses to surrender. 534

Top Ten League and the Nascent Soul War

Zhang Yu won the Top Ten League championship by defeating Kuang Tianqing and was declared the Strongest Undergraduate Student. His victory gave him the right to select an Immortal Sect Technique from the Daoist Canon Catalog, making his choice consequential for Kunxu’s future ecology. 665

In the decisive clash, he secretly uses Descendant of Immortals spatial power to absorb part of the shockwave from Kuang Tianqing’s final attack. Bai Zhenzhen guides him through the explosion, and divine protection and healing talismans help him survive. The resulting competition among universities over his reward selection highlights his growing political significance. 664

Conscious of the people whose livelihoods now depend on him, Zhang Yu resolves to protect his companions rather than pursue advancement in isolation. He then breaks through to Golden Core using a Purple Mansion Golden Core, releasing the potential accumulated during Foundation Establishment. 671 677

After learning of a kidnapping plot that uses Yu Xinghan as bait, he recruits ten Nascent Soul True Lords before confronting the ambush. True Lord Qing Ming and the other protectors defeat the attackers, although Flowing Gold True Lord escapes through the Dark Spirit Realm. 684

He pursued Nascent Soul as the fastest route to greater strength and spatial technology. After his breakthrough, he used Kunlun in Palm to defeat Feng Yuhan, Fu Xinyao, Ping Han, and Jiu Tianliu, while rescuing Le Mulan from an infiltration attempt. 696

During the war against the Righteous Qi Alliance, he used spatial control to withstand coordinated attacks from more than twenty Nascent Soul powerhouses and return their accumulated force in a devastating counterattack. 741

He subsequently advances toward the Array Core under escalating natural disasters triggered through the Divine Power Network. By drawing hostile cultivators into the attacks following him, he turns the punishment against defenders while continuing to adapt and move forward. 747

Myriad Laws Sect and the Old Days Graveyard

After entering Myriad Laws Sect, Zhang Yu worked in Martial Arts Group Three as an auditor. He completed thirty-one technique audits in a single month, outperformed every other group, and became a central figure in the department’s performance surge. 786 787

He exposed Xiao Zhi’s audit irregularities, became Acting Leader of Martial Arts Group One, and used martial-dao simulation and fusion to secure the position. 793 795

His collaboration with Bu Yingshu produces Wanfa Immortal Clan and further advances in cultivation-method extraction. He passes an Orthodox God Sect Nature test through his Sect Examination Clone, while work on Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation and Great Saint-related inheritances draws the descent of a real Great Saint Will. 802 803 812

After reaching Divine Transformation, he continues working with Soul Cultivators in the Youxin Department while exploring the Old Days Graveyard’s Illusionary Realm. When Ying Aikun threatens him under a Legal Killing Domain, Bu Yingshu’s Immortal Shuttle destroys Ying Aikun’s upper body. 827 828 831

Zhang Yu later became a publicly celebrated “Kunxu Hero” for his actions against the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan. He was appointed Vice President of the Old Days Graveyard Development Zone Management Committee and began directing reconstruction, resource recovery, and Grotto-Heaven development. 850 879 883

The publicity frames his ascent from the First Layer through examinations as a model of Kunxu reform. His success brings renewed attention to his teachers and allies, several of whom are transferred to assist him in the Development Zone. 848 850 852

Using equipment recovered by Director Gao, he commissions Fu Ji to establish a Dark Spirit Realm centered on the Immortal Grotto-Heaven’s Calculation Pool. This permits remote monitoring and the awakening of Soul Cultivators to help administer the realm. He then leads thirteen Transformation God cultivators against the Refining Void World-Casting Furnace, entering its heat alone while ordering the others to remain clear. 883

His expansion of the Sect’s Dharma Realm and establishment of a Soul Cultivator Company with over 20% market share contribute to his receipt of Extraordinary Merit. The award draws unprecedented public scrutiny and an audience with Flawless True Immortal. 924 926

Refining Void and Later Development

Seeking a place in Kunxu’s ruling structure, Zhang Yu gathered the required Immortal Dao Elements, accepted a Void Refining Loan, and reached the Refining Void Realm. He then reinforced his foundation with multiple Lv. 60 methods and the Grand Void Dao Body. 946

Before and during this advancement, he attends Third-Generation Law Article training with Bu Yingshu and encounters representatives of competing Dao Lineages. His ability to cultivate rapidly, copy Dao Seeds, and negotiate between factions makes him valuable to several incompatible political projects. He publicly supports Tai Yuebai to obtain Emperor’s Dominion over the Nine Heavens while also managing expectations from Bu Yingshu and other legislative associates. 941 950 956

His legislative pilot becomes controversial enough that outside interests arrange for Spark True Person to approach him as an intermediary. Zhang Yu recognizes that the choice of messenger exploits his gratitude toward a teacher who previously helped him. 980

When Le Mulan’s pharmaceutical project cuts off her access to outside information, Zhang Yu seeks to intervene and draws on Bu Yingshu’s backing. He refuses to treat Le Mulan as expendable even when doing so conflicts with a mission associated with the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor. 989 990

By the approach of January 1, his normal Magical Power exceeds 9.5 million, and numerous Grotto-Heaven systems and puppets have reached the Lv. 60 Refining Void limit. 1002

He later inherited lost arts from Tan Taizhen’s legacies, raised the Creation Emperor Seed to Lv. 8, and awakened the Heaven-Given Dao-Proving Scripture, a supreme Heaven-Opening cultivation method that treats copied or granted Dao Seeds as extensions of his bloodline. 1025

The inheritance also frees his body, Magical Power, and Dao Heart from their normal Refining Void ceilings. As Creation Emperor Seed develops, it turns cultivation methods into bloodline divine abilities and offers a means of exceeding their conventional limits. 1023

Tribulation Crossing and the Bookholder Conference

Through the Collection of All Books plan, Zhang Yu discovers that the Feather Scroll can integrate other books and acquire new functions. Incorporating the Fist Manual and Breath Circulation Manual expands his daily Specialization capacity while preserving the ability to detach them later. 1030

Preparing for Lightning Tribulation, he negotiates a Betting Agreement with Lu Jingsong. After competing offers, he secures a 22% share of excess Lightning Tribulation revenue. Lu Jingsong’s company plans to package his tribulation debt into bonds and launches a billion-Immortal-Coin publicity campaign, but Zhang Yu refuses to endorse claims he regards as false. 1036

By his cultivation of Great Freedom Inconceivable Power, he has assembled the Tribulation Crossing Enlightened Dao Saint Physique. Subsequent path-seeking development grants exceptional Spatial Technology aptitude and substantially improves the efficiency of his transportation infrastructure. 1047 1050

After another year, Zhang Yu’s normal foundational attributes and primary techniques reach the Lv. 71 Ascension standard despite his remaining in Tribulation Crossing. He defeats Bu Yingshu in sparring, continues absorbing books into the Feather Scroll, and considers parasitizing further Dao Orthodoxies to preserve its functions. His allies expand the Immortal Grotto-Heaven and provide new legislative leverage through Ye Xingli’s Revision Renewal. 1073

As preparations for the Bookholder Conference intensify, Bai Zhenzhen warns him that the sects and Immortal Emperors are quietly gathering strength for a major conflict. Zhang Yu nevertheless insists that he will win the conference. Meanwhile, a man arriving on the Myriad Laws Sect’s Sixteenth Layer thanks Tai Yuebai and Zhang Yu and announces that the Immortal Class will take over responsibility. 1073
