Muffled roars echoed from deep within the university city, like a series of muffled thunderclaps exploding.

Feeling the constantly trembling ground, everyone in the dorm room watched their expressions shift repeatedly.

As Foundation Establishment students proficient in civil engineering, everyone present understood just how astonishingly strong the university city’s main structure was, and how incredibly well it was built for blast and earthquake resistance.

In the past, even with their full power, they could rarely affect one floor from another.

The intensity of the current vibrations indicated an extraordinary source!

Zhang Yu looked down at the ground, as if peering into the unknown depths below, and thought to himself, “Something significant is happening down there!”

Just then, everyone’s spiritual displays twitched simultaneously, and Yu Xinghan said, “We’re connected to the Spirit Realm again.”

But before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they discovered that although the Spirit Realm appeared connected, it was almost unusable!

At the same time, the head of a red-lipped, white-toothed boy appeared in everyone’s spiritual displays!

The boy opened his mouth and said, “Greetings to all residents of Ten Thousand Dharma University City!

“I am a Divine Monarch of Transformation from the Feather Ascension Sect. You may call me the Feather Ascension Child!

“My visit to Ten Thousand Dharma University this time is to have an exchange with all of you and to spread the teachings of my Feather Ascension Sect!”

Everyone who witnessed this scene was utterly shocked!

“Divine Transformation? The Feather Ascension Sect actually has a Divine Transformation cultivator?”

“How can these heretical sects control the Spirit Realm here at Ten Thousand Dharma University? Where are the Principals? Where are the Righteous Gods?”

Zhang Yu wondered in astonishment, “Where have they all gone?”

Fu Ji also became serious: “It’s normal for these two demonic cults to find an opportunity during the Ten Great Conflicts! But to dare to be so brazen and cause such a huge commotion, there’s an eighty percent chance someone is backing them!”

“Someone backing them?” Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, as if he saw an invisible giant hand reaching down from the upper layers of Kunxu, stirring up all of this!

The next moment, Zhang Yu found that his spiritual display had received a file densely packed with the Feather Ascension Sect’s various doctrines and information!

The Feather Ascension Child continued, “As the saying goes, what joy is there in life, what suffering in death? Rather than arduous cultivation for a lifetime, it’s better to burn away the remnant body and be reborn through reincarnation!

“Whoever is willing to believe in my Feather Ascension Sect shall re-enter reincarnation, and in the next life can be born from an immortal embryo and enter the immortal registry! Do not ask for longevity; only seek the next life!”

Just then, the Feather Ascension Child’s head seemed to be forcefully squeezed apart, and an old man with a smiling face appeared in everyone’s spiritual displays!

“I am the Elder of No Occupation, from the No Occupation Sect!”

The next moment, everyone found that their spiritual displays had received another document filled with the various doctrines of the No Occupation Sect!

Zhang Yu quickly deleted it, just as he had done with the Feather Ascension Sect’s material!

Then they heard the Elder of No Occupation say, “Studying every day, working, borrowing money, repaying loans—do you expect to break through your cultivation realm? In the end, won’t you just suffer your whole life? Perhaps today a Divine Transformation cultivator blows a breath, or tomorrow one blinks an eye, and all your life’s efforts are nullified!

“Even if you manage to save some money in the end, what good is it? Isn’t it all for extending your lifespan, for Spirit Realm traffic, only for it all to end up with the Heavenly Court?

“All the profits you’ve earned, all the value you’ve produced in your lifetime, have been stolen by the Heavenly Court, by the Ten Greats!

“Today, I’m giving you an opportunity!

“For the next hour, the Spirit Realm both inside and outside the university city will be severed, and no Righteous Gods will be able to monitor anything!

“I and the Feather Ascension Child will also suppress interference from inside and outside for you. For this one hour, you can do whatever you want!

“‘Spiritual pills and precious medicines’? Aren’t they right there in the shops?

“‘Magic treasures and artifacts’? They’re waiting for you in the factories!

“My followers will loot the entire university city!

“Those who want to change their way of life, those who want an opportunity—come join us!

“Come with us to snatch back what the Heavenly Court has taken from you, what those immortals have swindled from you… Snatch it all back.”

Watching the Elder of No Occupation laugh heartily in his spiritual display, Zhang Yu felt an unusual impulse surge within him, as if wanting to rush out of the dorm room, following the Elder’s words!

Zhang Yu quickly circulated his cultivation technique silently and suppressed the impulse within him. His expression grew increasingly solemn!

He turned to look at the others around him and noticed that everyone’s face, to varying degrees, showed a hint of being swayed, which was then suppressed!

“If what this Elder of No Occupation says is true, then for the next hour, I’m afraid…”

In normal times at Ten Thousand Dharma University City, Zhang Yu believed that even with such incitement from the Elder of No Occupation, most people would firmly suppress their impulses!

But now, within Ten Thousand Dharma University City, after the recent economic crisis, countless people had long accumulated various dissatisfactions!

Furthermore, an unknown number of people were barely able to survive, on the verge of bankruptcy!

Ten Thousand Dharma University was now like a huge powder keg, and the Feather Ascension Sect’s and No Occupation Sect’s actions—severing the Spirit Realm, distributing information, and inciting the entire school—were like a spark drifting down!

If there truly was no supervision from the Righteous Gods, quite a few people might take desperate risks…

At the same time, the Elder of No Occupation’s image had vanished without a trace, and the Spirit Realm once again fell silent!

Everyone in the dorm room discovered that no matter how hard they tried, they could no longer connect to the Spirit Realm!

Yu Xinghan licked his lips and said hoarsely, “Is what this demon said true? The Spirit Realm will be disconnected for an hour?”

Shi Huaiyu stated firmly, “Impossible. Neither the three Divine Transformation Monarchs nor the many Righteous Gods inside and outside the school would allow such a thing to happen. They must have come to support us by now; the Spirit Realm should recover very soon!”

Shi Yunxiang gritted his teeth, revealing his sharp fangs, and mused, “But this Feather Ascension Child and the Elder of No Occupation also seem to be Divine Transformation cultivators, don’t they? The fact that they could ascend to Divine Transformation right under the Righteous Gods’ noses means they have some way to contend with them!”

Xiao Qingxuan, who was nearby, said, “It’s also possible that it’s a Divine Transformation cultivator in disguise, one who already has a Divine Transformation qualification certificate!”

Yu Xinghan sighed, “The three Divine Transformation cultivators of our school are currently participating in the Ten Great League and clashing with Divine Transformation cultivators from other universities!

“Moreover, with the Spirit Realm disconnected here, they probably can’t return quickly. And even if part of their strength returns, will it be blocked by the Feather Ascension Child and the Elder of No Occupation?”

Everyone discussed back and forth but couldn’t come up with a satisfactory answer!

Whether it was the Feather Ascension Child, the Elder of No Occupation, or their school’s three Divine Transformation cultivators, they were all too far removed from them. How could they possibly understand the battles and shifts in the situation?

Just then, Fu Ji, in Zhang Yu’s mind, murmured, “It might be true. Even if not an hour, there’s probably 40 minutes, or even 30 minutes. Such technology exists in this world!

“However, looting and such shouldn’t be the main goal of the Feather Ascension Child or the Elder of No Occupation!

After all, the truly important things at Ten Thousand Dharma University must have powerful protections and certainly couldn’t be broken through in a short time!

“And even if those important things could be snatched, it would probably be difficult to use them without sufficient authorization, and difficult to decipher without a complete laboratory system!

“Their true purpose in this attack… is probably still to spread their doctrines!”

Fu Ji analyzed, “If they merely mass-distributed the doctrines to everyone in the university city, then as soon as the Righteous Gods regained control and monitored all faculty and students, they could prevent most people from viewing them!

“But after disconnecting the Spirit Realm for a period, who knows how many people will take the opportunity to read through the materials of the Feather Ascension Sect and the No Occupation Sect!

“Especially during this raging economic crisis, many people are more easily attracted to the Feather Ascension Sect and the No Occupation Sect!

“If they also take advantage of the disconnection to commit illegal acts, then they’ve already put one foot into these two demonic cults!”

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He seemed to already foresee that after this incident, the university city would secretly gain an unknown number of demonic cult followers or superficial believers.

Just then, another series of tremors came from the ground beneath their feet, as if an earthquake was shaking the university city!

Yu Xinghan exclaimed, “Has it begun? The looting by followers the Elder of No Occupation mentioned?”

Shi Huaiyu looked at Zhang Yu and asked, “What should we do? Should we stay inside or go out?”

The others also looked at Zhang Yu one after another, subtly seeming to regard him as their leader!

Fu Ji said, “No matter how much commotion these two Divine Transformation demons cause now, and no matter who is backing them, the university city will eventually return to the control of the Righteous Gods and revert to its original order. It’s only a matter of time!

“What you need to do now is to get through this period as safely as possible!”

Zhang Yu’s mind also quickly raced. According to Magnetic Pole True Monarch and his sister Zhang Pianpian, he should stay in the dorm room and hide until everything returned to calm!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “But Master’s and my sister’s warnings were probably based on the Spirit Realm functioning normally. No one could have imagined a demonic Divine Transformation cultivator descending, and no one imagined the Spirit Realm here in the university city would temporarily collapse!

The teachers currently in the university city are probably all fighting those two Divine Transformation demons!

And without the Spirit Realm, the dorm rooms would be unprotected. After all, to save costs, the dorm rooms themselves had no defensive capabilities; everything relied on the Spirit Realm and the deterrence of the Righteous Gods!

If they stayed in the dorm, even if attacked, no Righteous Gods would descend. So, was it really safe to stay here?

But if they went out…

Just then, a knock on the door sounded, and everyone simultaneously looked toward the dorm room door!

Mo Shangjin’s voice came from outside the door: “Zhang Yu, are you there? We’re planning to leave here and head to the civil engineering department’s office floor to meet up with the teachers. Are you coming?”

Opening the door, Zhang Yu saw Mo Shangjin standing outside with a group of civil engineering students. Xue Yunxian, Gongshu Jin, Ma Xuan, and others were among them, but Su Yanyang was nowhere to be seen!

Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, Xiao Qingxuan, and the others exchanged glances, then joined Mo Shangjin’s group, heading together toward the civil engineering department’s office floor!

Mo Shangjin said, “The anti-gravity passage, which connects the upper and lower levels, has already erupted into a major battle. It’s not something we can get involved in. Let’s take the more secluded Primordial Magnetic Passage!”
