Chapter 1381: Chapter 851: Yu Shu
Looking at the message from Magnetic Pole, Xuanji couldn’t help but feel a sense of envy in his heart.
Fa Liuyuan, what kind of person is that? A cultivator in the Ascension Stage, a leading figure in the Ten Thousand Laws Hall, a true high-ranking member within the Wanfa Sect, and a quasi-immortal destined to ascend in the future.
Xuanji had worked in the sect for so many years, and had never even had the opportunity to add a friend as high as Fa Liuyuan, let alone such a top leader. Even a Level 9 Sect Affairs Officer was beyond his reach.
Xuanji couldn’t understand how Gao Chongguang and Magnetic Pole had suddenly connected with a Level 10 Sect Affairs Officer.
Especially after he read the news reports and realized that it wasn’t just a matter of adding a friend; it was about being supported, rewarded, and commended...
"With the esteemed status of a Level 10 Sect Affairs Officer like Heavenly Monarch Fa, who knows how many extra quotas he holds each year? If he wants to promote someone, it’s just a word."
"It’s just that Magnetic Pole and Little Gao are both contract workers and still need to go through another round of sect exams, following the official procedures."
"But passing another round of exams would even more represent the political performance of the Lower Realm Sect, ensuring that they will be the focus of cultivation by the Reform Faction in the future."
"And with the disciple Zhang Yu on their side..."
Xuanji’s mind raced with thoughts, and upon seeing Magnetic Pole’s message, he immediately replied: Communicating with a top leader like Heavenly Monarch Fa indeed requires careful consideration.
Xuanji: Magnetic Pole, our sect still has a group in the Upper Realm. Would you like to join? Master, along with other masters, junior brothers, and sisters, all miss you.
Seeing this message from his senior brother, Magnetic Pole smirked, "Interesting, he’s the one who deleted me as a friend before, and now he’s the one asking me to join their group."
Gao Chongguang, standing by, said, "We are all familiar faces in the same sect. You should go in and meet them; it might be helpful in the future."
Magnetic Pole replied, "Humph, a bunch of people who only know how to hit someone when they’re down—what help could they offer? Moreover, I, you, and Zhang Yu are all now on the side of Heavenly Monarch Fa. We belong to the Reform Faction."
"As far as I know, the Reform Faction faces many opponents within the Wanfa Sect. We are currently in the limelight, and the sect is likely to face turbulent times ahead, so it’s best not to complicate matters further."
Gao Chongguang was curious, "Turbulent times?"
Magnetic Pole said, "Do you think the events at the Old Graveyard are simply over? How solid is the Small Realm of the sect? How could it suddenly collapse? It’s most likely man-made."
"Haven’t you noticed that the news from the Spirit Realm still reports on it every day? With such heavy foreshadowing, there’s bound to be a reckoning ahead."
"It truly feels like the calm before a storm."
...
On the other side, Yu Xinghan’s projection descended onto the Central Extreme Heaven of the 11th level of Kunxu, outside an office of the Wanfa Sect’s Ascension Hall.
The Ascension Hall is the central hub of the Wanfa Sect, and every layer from the 11th to the 20th of the Central Extreme Heaven has an office of the Ascension Hall.
Not long after Yu Xinghan’s projection arrived, a familiar projection also appeared before him.
"Senior Sister..." Seeing Li Xuelian in front of him, Yu Xinghan greeted warmly, "It’s been a long time."
Li Xuelian looked at Yu Xinghan with emotion, who could have thought that she, once exiled to the Lower Realm, and Yu Xinghan, born in the lower levels, could progress together within the sect.
Li Xuelian said, "I’ve already spoken on your behalf at Fu Yao Pavilion. It happens that your Netherworld Property Department is a new department, so they can allocate you a few more places. You should receive the message when you go to the Lower Realm."
Hearing this, Yu Xinghan breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Senior Sister, thank you for your help this time."
"Is there anything you need me to bring when I go to the Lower Realm?"
Li Xuelian’s eyes shifted as she said, "Yes, there are indeed things that might trouble you to bring up."
Looking at Senior Sister before him, Yu Xinghan thought, "Indeed, the real projection is different from the fake one."
While the two were talking, another figure descended—it was the Starfire God King.
Seeing Yu Xinghan, the Starfire God King chuckled, "Good boy, you and Zhang Yu have quite made a splash in the Wanfa Sect this time."
But in the next moment, his face turned serious, "But the spotlight has been enough this time. From now on, stay out of trouble."
Seeing the serious expression of Starfire God King, Yu Xinghan’s heart stirred and he asked, "Master, is something major about to happen?"
Starfire God King nodded and then shook his head, "Yes, something major is indeed going to happen, but how big it will be, only the Immortals above know."
...
In the unknown higher echelons of Kunxu.
Fa Liuyuan slowly stepped before the two Immortals.
Their silhouettes constantly shifted, as though transforming into all things in Kunxu, emitting a mysterious and distant aura.
And these two Immortals were the ones who had previously observed Zhang Yu in the Maze Realm and had frequently discussed him and Yingxin Heaven—they represented the Reform Faction of the Wanfa Sect and held the title of the Immortal Vein in Zhang Yu’s heart.
At this moment, Fa Liuyuan respectfully paid homage, "Disciple Fa Liuyuan greets both Masters."
A female voice came from the Immortal’s form, "Liuyuan, you met with Zhang Yu, what do you think of him?"
Fa Liuyuan considered and said, "When reviewing the restorative actions at the Old Graveyard, this disciple thought that this child resembles someone."
The female voice asked, "Who?"
Fa Liuyuan replied, "Master Ying."
After a brief silence, the female voice sighed, "Indeed, he resembles Brother Ying somewhat."
"Alas, seeking nothing in return, saving all living beings at the risk of one’s own life."
"Using... precisely Brother’s Cave Heaven Power."
"Perhaps it is this very resemblance that led Brother to choose him."
Then came a male voice from the other Immortal, "But the fear is that he’s too much like him. Being too similar... may not be a good thing."
"If not for Brother’s stubbornness, acting personally each time, and dispersing his wealth, with his skills and our support, he might well have achieved the position of Immortal Emperor."
The female voice sighed, initially fearing Zhang Yu might be like Yun Taizhen, bringing disaster to Kunxu after rising up.
Now they worried Zhang Yu might be too much like Yingxin Heaven, rising up only to fall, wasting their investment and causing Reform failures for Kunxu.
The female voice said, "If Zhang Yu truly resembles Brother too much, then he must be carefully tempered and restrained, not allowed to become exactly like Brother."
The male voice continued, "Liuyuan, continue. How did your close observation compare with Tai Yue Bai?"
Fa Liuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Compared to Junior Brother Tai Yue Bai, he naturally falls far short. However..."
A peculiar look flashed in Fa Liuyuan’s eyes, and he continued, "I feel that within Zhang Yu’s body, there may not only be the Immortal Inheritance—or could it be that Master Ying’s Immortal Inheritance holds some mysteries beyond my comprehension?"
At this point, he looked at the two Immortals before him and asked, "Masters, are you certain Zhang Yu possesses none of the Feathered Ascension books? No Immortal Clan bloodline?"
The female voice answered, "Brother secretly hid the Yu Shu, passing it to you before leaving. The Transformation Book was gifted to Bai Gusheng by the White Bone Sect, and the other two Ascension books already have owners. How could Zhang Yu have any?"
The male voice added, "As for the Immortal Clan bloodline, he’s not even in the Immortal Record. Liuyuan, why do you ask this?"
Fa Liuyuan said, "I once secretly used the Yu Shu on him..."
