Supreme Dao Lineage, Immortal Emperor of Myriad Laws: Understood
Chapter 858 Supreme Dao Lineage, Immortal Emperor of Myriad Laws: Understood (Thanks to "Siming Yuji Tianzun" for the generous donation to the Alliance Master)
Upon hearing Zhan Xian's introduction and Huang Niu's supplementary information, Zhang Yu asked, "The Kunlun lineage... shouldn't be controlled by the Wanfa Sect alone, right?"
Zhanxian said, "That's natural. A lineage may have one Dao Master, or it may have multiple Dao Masters."
"The Dao Lords can work together to operate the Dao lineage, expand its coverage, and make it bigger. They can also compete, devour, and seize from each other, ultimately determining the sole controller of the Dao lineage."
“For example, the Kunlun lineage is scattered among the ten major sects, each with its own Dao Master.”
Zhanxian sighed and said, "It is said that... when the construction of Kunxu was arduous and the civil engineering industry was booming, the Dao leaders of the Kunlun lineage fought amongst themselves. Countless loans became bad debts, countless wages were owed, and countless construction sites collapsed and became unfinished. The series of fierce battles were extremely tragic."
"With the end of the era of great construction, the Kunlun lineage was also suppressed, and the Dao Lords stopped fighting one after another. They reduced their investment in building the world and turned their attention to other areas to find new points of growth in their cultivation."
Huang Niu added, "The so-called success or failure of a lineage can both be due to its lineage. The strength of a lineage will make the Dao Lord stronger and stronger, and the expansion rate of cultivation and assets will increase accordingly. The weakness of a lineage, on the other hand, will also drag down the Dao Lord, causing the Dao Lord's growth rate in cultivation and assets to decrease, or even regress."
"Therefore, the choice of the Dao lineage is very important. It not only determines one's allies and enemies, but also one's relationship with Kunxu and different eras..."
Zhang Yu checked his email and found there was no reply yet. He thought to himself, "I wonder how Fa Liuyuan is doing with it."
However, since he had already communicated with the Immortal Emperor of Ten Thousand Laws through the secret email address provided by Dugu Ming, he was not so nervous about the reply from the reformist faction of the Law Flow Source.
……
Just as Zhang Yu, Zhan Xian, and Huang Niu were discussing the Kunlun lineage.
In the celestial palace of the Dharma Realm, Fa Liuyuan, a level 10 sect affairs officer and an Ascension Realm cultivator, also saw the document sent by Zhang Yu.
Initially, Faliuyuan did not pay much attention to Zhang Yu's document.
After all, in his view, the Myriad Laws Sect lacked experience in the soul cultivation industry, and Zhang Yu would need a lot of time to achieve success in the Old Graveyard.
This kind of pioneering work is always arduous and tiring, but if Zhang Yu can calm down and do this well... then he will have the potential to advance and become a leading figure in the reformist faction in the future.
However, after Fa Liuyuan's gaze swept over the contents of the document, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his mood became slightly serious.
As his thoughts were withdrawn from the spirit world, Fa Liuyuan focused his attention more on the document in front of him, and then read it over several times.
He particularly appreciated the content regarding the Heavenly Demon Sect, the joint venture, and the support from the Dharma realm.
The content about civil engineering projects and the understanding of the spirit of civil engineering also deeply resonated with him. After reading it several times, he felt a strong sense of the spirit of civil engineers.
He nodded slightly as he read the entire document, and it seemed that the operation of the entire celestial palace became a little smoother.
"Without extensive grassroots civil engineering experience, one could never write an article like this."
"It's been a long time since we've seen such down-to-earth, world-building-spirited civil engineering geniuses."
Fa Liuyuan recalled the scene of Zhang Yu stopping the collapse of the sky and thought to himself, "...It really resembles Senior Ying, but the civil engineering version."
"This time... he might be able to find a new growth point for the civil engineering industry."
Then Fa Liuyuan refocused his attention on the parts of the document concerning the Heavenly Demon Sect, the joint venture, and the Dharma Realm.
"Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, I really didn't expect... You've only been in the Department of Underworld Produce for a short time, yet you've already given me such a big surprise."
"However, this involves two major sects and even an Immortal Emperor... This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by me alone."
Thinking of this, Fa Liuyuan forwarded the document to his two masters, and then his thoughts crossed the Dharma Realm and arrived at a high-level place in Kunxu.
He planned to personally meet with his two immortal masters to discuss the contents of Zhang Yu's document.
……
Amidst the chaotic currents of air, the light and shadow symbolizing all things in Kunxu flashed by.
One of the thoughts, carrying information, directly entered Fa Liuyuan's mind.
"good."
Fa Liuyuan raised his head and looked at the two figures in front of him. They were his two masters: Immortal Yi Xuan, who belonged to the reformist faction of the Myriad Laws Sect, and Immortal Rou Jia.
And that "not bad" came from Immortal Yi Xuan.
The next moment, a female voice came out, it was Immortal Roujia who said: "Given Zhang Yu's position, it is somewhat unexpected that he was able to see through the internal conflicts of interest of the Heavenly Demon Sect so quickly, and even take advantage of the internal strife to introduce soul cultivation technology."
Another male voice came, it was Immortal Yi Xuan who continued, "Perhaps it was the Reincarnation Group of the Heavenly Demon Sect that did this intentionally. In any case, cooperating with the Reincarnation faction of the Heavenly Demon Sect... has both advantages and disadvantages, but that is not the most important part of this plan."
"Technical support from the Dharma realm is the key."
Upon hearing this, Fa Liuyuan agreed, saying, "I see that there isn't much space dedicated to the Dharma Realm in this document, so I'm afraid Zhang Yu himself hasn't really paid much attention to it. That's true... given Zhang Yu's level and perspective, he probably doesn't even realize how crucial the Dharma Realm is."
"Even so, the logic of the Dharma Realm inserting into the soul cultivation industry has been established. If this document were presented to the Immortal Emperor, it would probably immediately scratch his itch."
"Master, should we send this document to the Immortal Emperor for a look?"
Upon hearing Fa Liuyuan's question, Immortal Yi Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Sure, you can guide Zhang Yu to revise the document and correct the key points. Zhang Yu has never communicated with an existence of the Immortal Emperor level before. You need to teach him to pay attention to the format of speaking to an Immortal Emperor, as the Immortal Emperor values this very much."
"Also, this document should not attract too much attention within the sect. Instead of going through the Hall of Myriad Laws, send it directly to the Immortal Emperor via a secret email address."
Fa Liuyuan nodded and accepted the task.
Fa Liuyuan knows that the reformists have never completely rejected Dharma Realm Technology; they simply have their own set of views on how to use it and how to implement it.
According to Fa Liuyuan, technology itself is neither good nor evil; it all depends on how the controller uses it. If used well, this Dharma Realm is a powerful tool for governing the world and a guarantee for a new round of prosperity in Kunxu. If used poorly, it will cause widespread suffering and even trigger a great war in Kunxu.
Therefore, the reformists have always tacitly approved of the promotion of the Dharma, neither opposing it nor actively supporting it.
However, this time, if Zhang Yu's plan is followed, the reformists will be able to interfere with the Dharma Realm's blessing on the soul cultivation industry through civil engineering construction.
“If the Dharma Realm can expand, the Immortal Emperor will definitely support it,” Fa Liuyuan said. “We can also take this opportunity to influence the specific operation of the Dharma Realm in the field of soul cultivation.”
"The Kunlun lineage... might also be able to take advantage of this opportunity and find new growth points by riding on the expansion momentum of the Dharma Realm lineage."
Immortal Roujia said, "Excellent. With this support, you will have a better chance of winning the next Ascension Selection."
"If you ascend to immortality, not only will our sect gain another immortal, but you will also be able to pass on the Feather Book to Tai Yuebai."
Fa Liuyuan nodded, naturally having no objection. After all, he knew that his junior brother Tai Yuebai was the most suitable owner of the "Feather Book." Ying Xintian had placed the "Feather Book" with him only to help him ascend to immortality in the future and to reduce the attention on Tai Yuebai.
Recalling the contents of the document, Fa Liuyuan suggested, "After Junior Brother Taiyuebai completes his work, he can pass on the 'Feather Book' to Zhang Yu. In the future, our reformist faction might have another immortal."
Immortal Roujia said, "Zhang Yu... Liuyuan, you should give him more guidance and keep an eye on him. His current cultivation and rank are still a bit lacking, and the two forces he is going to introduce from the Samsara System and the Dharma Realm are too strong. I'm afraid he himself will find it difficult to control himself in the end."
……
Soon after, Zhang Yu received a reply from Fa Liuyuan.
Fa Liuyuan: Well written, far exceeding my expectations. Your growth in this project is evident. Go ahead and execute it with confidence; I will fully support you…
Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued reading. He discovered that Fa Liuyuan had also made some suggestions regarding the document, requesting that he add a section on technical support for the Dharma Realm, as well as some formatting issues and some questions about the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor.
Fa Liuyuan: After you've revised it, I'll submit it to the Immortal Emperor for review. With the Immortal Emperor's secret support, this matter is almost certain to succeed.
Fa Liuyuan: However, this matter is not suitable to attract too much attention. I will send it to the Immortal Emperor's secret email address. Remember not to announce to the public that you sent the document to the Immortal Emperor.
Fa Liuyuan further explained the matter of the secret mailbox: "This is the mailbox used by the Immortal Emperor to secretly collect information. Only those valued and trusted by the Immortal Emperor are qualified to send messages. I only gained the right to use the secret mailbox when I performed a great service and was promoted to a level 10 sect affairs officer."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he felt something was off: "Are we sending another one to the Immortal Emperor?"
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yu sent the matter to the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor's secret email address, wanting to ask if he should do as Fa Liuyuan said.
Ding!
Zhang Yu saw the Immortal Emperor's reply instantly.
Emperor of Myriad Laws: Just do as I say, and don't ask me about such trivial matters in the future.
So Zhang Yu thought for a moment, took out the document he had previously presented to the Immortal Emperor, and sent it to Fa Liuyuan.
Fa Liuyuan quickly replied: Well written. I've corrected some of the formatting for you. I'll send it to the Immortal Emperor first.
A moment later, Fa Liuyuan also received a reply from the Immortal Emperor. Looking at the content of the reply, a smile appeared on his face.
Fa Liuyuan sent the reply to Zhang Yu: [Screenshot]
Zhang Yu glanced at the screenshot and saw that it contained three words: "Understood."
Fa Liuyuan said: "Generally, when a Celestial Emperor responds in this way, it means that he tacitly approves and supports what we are doing. This is a very positive signal."
Zhang Yu: I see.
Fa Liuyuan: Do a good job this time. If you can introduce the technology of the Dharma Realm into the soul cultivation industry of the old graveyard, you might have the opportunity to report directly to the Immortal Emperor in the future.
Zhang Yu: I'm so looking forward to it!
After this matter was settled, Fa Liuyuan added Zhang Yu to a small group and introduced him to his assistant and the sect affairs officer of Wanfadian, asking them to assist Zhang Yu in completing the joint venture's procedures.
Shortly after Zhang Yu finished his conversation with Fa Liuyuan, another Level 7 religious affairs officer approached him.
“The Pavilion Master of the Spiritual Law Pavilion… Realm Spiritual Power.” Zhang Yu knew that this was the Dharma Realm technician whom the Immortal Emperor of Myriad Laws had asked him to contact.
The Lingfa Pavilion is a department under the Wanfa Palace, specifically responsible for the construction and maintenance of the Dharma Realm.
On the other side, Jie Lingtong was looking at a notification that had appeared in front of him a moment ago.
"Working closely with Zhang Yu of the Underworld Production Department, we will conduct thorough research and develop supporting policies to facilitate the application of Dharma Realm technology in the Soul Cultivation industry. We will also fully promote in-depth cooperation between the Underworld Production Department and the Heavenly Demon Sect to quickly streamline the Soul Cultivation industry chain and enhance the productivity of new technologies from the Dharma Realm..."
This notification came directly from the central authority of the Wanfa Sect—the Ascension Hall.
The so-called Ascension Hall, as the administrative center, is the highest level of sect governance, participating in the design and implementation of sect strategies and policies, and is a place where one can directly face the sect leader and deputy sect leader.
"Zhang Yu's backer... is pretty strong."
Jie Lingtong only had a scattered understanding of Zhang Yu's deeds, knowing about the inheritance of immortals, the heroes of Kunxu, and the peace of Wanshi.
Upon receiving the notification, he quickly gathered more information. "The old graveyard was used to nurture Bu Daojun's pregnancy?"
"Did he crash a celestial shuttle into and kill a former immortal?"
"Was she beaten to the point of miscarriage by a Void Refinement cultivator from the White Bone Sect?"
"Compensation and apology from a Void Refinement cultivator?"
Upon seeing this information, the spirit master instantly tensed up, and came to a conclusion in his mind: "This person's background is very complicated."
After carefully reading the news about Zhang Yu being rewarded by Fa Liuyuan, he had a guess in his mind: "It must be that some immortal from the reformist faction is supporting him. Is this to fully support him in improving the old cemetery?"
So after Jie Lingtong added Zhang Yu as a friend, he was very polite.
Theoretically speaking, a level 4 clan affairs officer like Zhang Yu shouldn't be qualified to speak to him normally.
However, the other party's background was unfathomable to Jie Lingtong, so he basically answered every question. Even if the other party did not send red envelopes or local specialties, he dared not be disrespectful in the slightest.
On the other hand, Su Lingyou also arranged for Zhang Yu to get acquainted with the soul cultivation technicians of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Thus, Zhang Yu's preparations regarding the Department of Underworld Products and the joint venture gradually got on track.
However, Zhang Yu plans to focus on technical preparations for the soul cultivation transformation business for the time being, and will officially open for business after the Dharma Realm of the Myriad Laws Sect and the Soul Cultivation Technology of the Heavenly Demon Sect are connected.
As for the soul cultivation outsourcing and intermediary business, Zhang Yu is currently preparing to take the lead in participating himself, hiring soul cultivators through the joint venture, and having the cultivators from various departments under his command support the joint venture's business together, while integrating the support of the Dharma Realm technology in this process.
"We won't spend too much money at the beginning. We'll just do internal business for now and get the process running smoothly first."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Anyway, I'm going to face a ban soon, so the more I invest... the more I lose."
Zhang Yu did not intend to confront the soul cultivation companies of the old graveyard head-on from the outset. He planned to wait until he had completed the technical preparations and the business processes were running smoothly before launching a counterattack.
"Let's accumulate strength first, and then fight a comeback battle later."
……
In the spirit world conference room.
Xiao Yunhe looked at Xie Lanyin, Xie Xue, and the others in front of him: "Everyone, you already know the plan. In the matter of soul cultivation... we will absolutely not allow the Myriad Laws Sect to interfere."
"I hope that in the coming period, Wanfa's market share in the soul cultivation industry in the entire Old Graveyard can remain below 1%."
As the meeting ended and he watched everyone's disappearing figures, Xiao Yunhe sighed inwardly.
As a level 7 sect affairs officer of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Xiao Yunhe belongs to the die-hard soul cultivation faction, whose leader is a Celestial Venerable who controls the soul cultivation tradition of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
However, this Immortal Venerable does not exclusively control the Soul Cultivation lineage, as the Soul Cultivation lineage is held by three Immortal Venerables from the Heavenly Demon, Netherworld, and White Bone sects.
The relationship between these three immortals is rather complicated.
Although this Immortal Venerable of the Heavenly Demon Sect is the strongest, the other two have the support of their respective sects, which has prevented this Immortal Venerable from taking sole control of the Soul Cultivation lineage for a long time.
However, the three parties also cooperate on a regular basis, and the other two immortal venerables even assist the immortal venerables of the Heavenly Demon Sect in fighting against the power of the Reincarnation System.
Xiao Yunhe sighed inwardly, "Youming and Baigu, they neither want the Immortal Venerable to have sole control over the Soul Cultivation lineage, nor do they want the Immortal Venerable to be suppressed by the Samsara Immortal Emperor. They only want the Immortal Venerable to keep the Samsara Immortal Emperor in check."
"As for the Immortal Venerable, he wants to take a risk and maneuver among these three forces... to find an opportunity to take sole control of the Soul Cultivation lineage."
"If I could exclusively control the Soul Cultivation lineage..."
Countless data flashed through Xiao Yunhe's mind: "Given the current application of soul cultivation and the expansion of the Dao lineage in Kunxu... I'm afraid the Immortal Venerable can immediately upgrade the Dao lineage and achieve the supreme Dao lineage."
Supreme Dao Lineage, Heavenly Dao Lineage, Great Dao Lineage... Xiao Yunhe knew that these different names in history all meant the same thing: the Dao lineage controlled by the Immortal Emperor, now widely referred to as the Immortal Emperor's Dao Lineage.
"If the Myriad Laws Sect really gets involved, I'm afraid the chances of the Immortal Venerable achieving the supreme lineage will become even more remote."
Thinking of this, Su Lingyou's image reappeared in Xiao Yunhe's mind.
The last time Xiao Yunhe saw Su Lingyou helping Zhang Yu, he sensed something was wrong and became wary.
"Since the incident involving the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan, the Immortal Emperor has gathered a group of Tai Zhen Immortal Clan members from the Heavenly Demon Sect, and Su Lingyou is one of them."
"And this Su Lingyou actually stood up for Zhang Yu, an outsider..."
Xiao Yunhe saw this as a bad sign.
"I'm afraid the Immortal Emperor will disregard the interests of his sect and help the Myriad Laws Sect compete for the soul cultivation market..."
But the more Xiao Yunhe thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
After all, compared to the interests of the sect, the Immortal Emperor himself is the greater good. If he were to sacrifice his own interests for the sake of the sect, that would be disregarding the greater good.
"If that's the case, then I've been caught up in the battle between the Immortal Venerable and the Immortal Emperor."
If it weren't for his identity as a member of the Soul Cultivation Sect, Xiao Yunhe would really want to give up the hot potato of the position of guild leader. This kind of job, which could potentially damage one's promotion if not handled carefully, is something that anyone who wants to do can do.
But as a staunch supporter of the Soul Cultivation Sect, from the moment he established the law, it meant that he had already chosen his future path, that he could not disembark, that he could not change his allegiance, and that he was destined to be an enemy of the Reincarnation System.
If he could go back to the past, back to the moment the law was enacted, would he regret it? Would he back down?
Xiao Yunhe smiled and shook his head, knowing that even if he had to do it 10 or 100 more times, he would never regret his choice to climb upwards and would never miss the opportunity to reach the peak of immortality.
"In life, if one wishes to climb to the pinnacle of immortality, there are countless difficulties and dangers, but the only solution is to be 'unwavering even in the face of death'."
"This...is already etched in our hearts."
He was like this, the Immortal Venerable was like this, and the Immortal Emperor was also like this.
They didn't dwell on grudges or personal vendettas; they only fought to ascend the path to immortality and for the rise and fall of their lineage.
This... is the struggle over the Dao.
“Emperor of Reincarnation, even if you are an esteemed emperor with supreme authority, if you wish to destroy my path to immortality, I will have no choice but to risk my life and fortune in a desperate fight.”
At this moment, Xiao Yunhe realized that he suddenly understood the Spirit Weapon Sect.
When it comes to the struggle for the Dao, what does a mere collapse of the heavens matter? As long as he can win, he wouldn't hesitate to destroy several more layers of Kunxu.
As soon as he made up his mind, Xiao Yunhe's thoughts crossed the spirit realm and arrived inside the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Looking at the figure before him, he bowed and said, "Sir, there are some things about the old cemetery that I feel I need to report to my superiors."
……
Just as the various factions in the old cemetery were preparing for the Daoist dispute.
The lower realm, Kunxu, level 5.
Within the Wanfa campus.
Lei Ji Zhenjun looked at his senior sister Ci Ji with surprise, or rather, at the examination admission ticket in Ci Ji's hand.
He looked at it back and forth several times, his eyes fixed on the admission ticket, his eyes full of envy: "Admission ticket, oh admission ticket, from level 1 to level 10, I wonder how many Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators who are not qualified to take the exam are willing to go bankrupt for this admission ticket."
The magnetic pole said impatiently, "Have you looked enough? I'm putting it away."
Reluctantly watching Magnet put away his exam admission ticket, Thunder True Monarch said with a shameless grin, "Senior Sister, when you get into the sect this time, take me with you, okay? I also want to work as a contractor in the sect."
"With your strength and age, you'd be wasting your spot." Magnetic sneered, "Forget about sects. The only reason you're still holding onto this position at Wanfa University is because of me and your nephew Zhang Yu. Otherwise, you would have been kicked out long ago. You still want to go to a sect?"
"And so what if I go to the sect? Master and Senior Brother went to the sect a long time ago. They'll have to be very polite to me when they see me this time, won't they?"
Lei Ji asked in surprise, "Senior Sister, you saw Master and the others?"
"I couldn't be bothered to see them," Ciji said indifferently. "But since my senior brother kept pestering me and insisted on sending me a red envelope, I added him as a friend."
Then, Magnet posted screenshots of the chat between the two parties.
Lei Ji laughed as he looked at the chat history and flattered her, "Haha, Senior Sister, you truly deserve to be called the genius of our lineage. So what if Senior Brother and the others went early this morning? In the end, once you enter the sect, they'll still have to lick your boots."
On the other side, Lao Gao looked at the earthen mountain in front of him and said, "If you don't pass the sect exam this time, come with me to the sect. Start by doing outsourcing work to cultivate your sect consciousness, which will be of great help in the sect exam."
Upon hearing this, Tu Lishan nodded repeatedly, but then asked with concern, "However, with my background in civil engineering, will it be inconvenient for me to take the imperial examination?"
Old Gao waved his hand and said, "Am I not a civil engineering major? Aren't Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu also civil engineering majors?"
"Moreover, the winds are gradually shifting, and those with a civil engineering background also have the opportunity to take the imperial examinations."
Just then, the screen next to them flashed and played a live broadcast of Yu Xinghan being interviewed.
Watching this scene, Ciji thought to himself, "I never realized Yu Xinghan was so high-profile."
At the same time, Yu Xinghan looked at the countless comments in the live broadcast room and thought to himself, "The talents of the Ten Schools are not valued by the major sects above. They regard you as trash."
"But Zhang Yu and I care about you."
“You are all geniuses, but you come from the lower realms and do not have the same development conditions as sects.”
"In the future, Zhang Yu and I will be able to recruit the best talents from all ten schools every year."
"The entire top ten universities serve as our talent pool."
