Listening to Tianyan Shenjun’s question, Zhang Yu said without hesitation, “Whatever cultivation method the school tells me to choose, I’ll choose that one.”

Tianyan Shenjun smiled when he heard this and said, “The immortal sect cultivation method I want you to choose is called ‘Fajie Shenzao Zhang.’ Have you heard of this method?”

“No,” Zhang Yu shook his head. “But since it’s Shenjun’s choice, then this method must be infinitely profound, capable of benefiting the common people of Kunxu and promoting the prosperity of the immortal path.”

Tianyan Shenjun nodded and said, “You are indeed right about that.”

“The ‘Fajie Shenzao Zhang’ cultivation method is used to construct the Fajie.”

“And the so-called Fajie is the sublimation and enhancement of the Lingjie, more practical and effective than the Lingjie.”

“For example, the Lingjie primarily transmits information, at most transmitting some divine power.”

“But the upgraded Fajie… not only can transmit these, but it can also easily transmit magical power, gangqi, qi and blood, spiritual energy, yuanqi, memories, lifespan, and so on. The efficiency of resource allocation is countless times that of the Lingjie, and the cost of societal operation will be infinitely reduced.”

Speaking of this, Tianyan Shenjun couldn’t help but exclaim, “It can be said that with the Fajie, everyone’s cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and the development speed of immortal path technology will far exceed the past.”

“Under the Fajie, no one will need to worry about work anymore, no longer need to fret over material conditions. Everyone will only need to cultivate according to their interests and wishes to live a happy life.”

“This is the world shaped by the Fajie, and it is also why we chose ‘Fajie Shenzao Zhang.’”

“However, just like when we promoted the Lingjie, some people have many concerns and misunderstandings about the Fajie, even fear. They are always worried about the growing pains after the advancement of immortal path technology and cannot reach a consensus.”

Tianyan Shenjun looked at Zhang Yu and said with an appreciative expression, “But if you, Zhang Yu, can win the ‘Fajie Shenzao Zhang,’ learn Fajie technology from it, and upgrade and transform the Lingjie, you will become the founder of the university’s Fajie in the future, and possess immense authority in the upgraded Fajie.”

“At that time, transforming into a deity will be as easy as turning your hand, and the realm you can achieve in the future will be limitless…”

As Zhang Yu listened to Tianyan Shenjun’s introduction, his heart grew increasingly anxious.

This was because the topic the other party was discussing was simply too grand, and the interests involved were too profound.

Especially the functions of the Fajie, after hearing just a few sentences, Zhang Yu sensed a profound mystery within it.

At the same time, Tianyan Shenjun’s fingertip moved lightly, and a contract appeared before Zhang Yu.

“The content of this contract is that we hope if you win the championship, you will choose ‘Fajie Shenzao Zhang’ among the immortal sect cultivation methods.”

Tianyan Shenjun smiled faintly and said, “Student Zhang Yu, I hope you understand that it’s not that I don’t trust you, but rather it is school policy. Only if you sign this contract can the school better assist you. These are all normal procedures.”

“Secondly, this contract is also a form of protection for you.”

“Signing this contract can dispel many people’s ill intentions towards you.”

Zhang Yu looked at the content of the contract but did not sign it easily.

After all, Zhang Yu had always been very wary of contracts. Furthermore, at this moment, he still didn’t understand the “Fajie” deeply, and signing a contract rashly made him feel uneasy.

So, Zhang Yu’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, “Principal, I have something I need to ask you about.”

Tianyan Shenjun: “What is it?”

Zhang Yu organized his thoughts and slowly said, “For the upcoming decisive battle against Kuang Tianqing, Qiqing Shenjun and Bai Zhenzhen of Tianjian University are willing to lend me the sword formed by Bai Zhenzhen’s physical body.”

“With this sword’s help, my chances of winning will be much higher.”

“However, I don’t know if they will have any requirements for me, such as choices for immortal sect cultivation methods.”

Tianyan Shenjun did not speak, but stared at Zhang Yu for a while, causing a chill to rise in Zhang Yu’s heart. When the air around them seemed to condense, Tianyan Shenjun finally chuckled.

“Interesting.”

“Are you negotiating with me?”

Zhang Yu: “I wouldn’t dare.”

“No, you dare very much,” Tianyan Shenjun looked at Zhang Yu playfully and said, “However, on the immortal path, daring to negotiate and daring to fight for one’s own interests… this is a good thing.”

“Many students, many cultivators, upon seeing Wanfa University or seeing me, sign contracts without thinking, losing immense benefits for nothing.”

“Daring to negotiate with me shows your courage and your potential to climb higher on the immortal path.”

With that, Tianyan Shenjun sighed softly, “Qiqing, come out. This bet, you win. I didn’t expect this boy to have some guts.”

A flicker of light and shadow appeared behind Tianyan Shenjun, and Qiqing Shenjun stepped out, looking at Zhang Yu and saying, “Zhang Yu, if I asked you to choose another immortal sect cultivation method, would you?”

While Zhang Yu was momentarily stunned, Qiqing Shenjun continued, “Jiqing Jiandao is a sword art created by Jiqing Xianren of Tianjian Sect, but its inheritance is currently incomplete and fragmented.”

“If one could obtain another immortal sect sword art from Jiqing Xianren among the immortal sect cultivation methods, it would complete Jiqing Jiandao, and Bai Zhenzhen’s cultivation would have no more flaws, no more instances of losing control.”

“Nor would she, like in the battle with Kuang Tianqing, impulsively self-destruct her body or even transform her body into a sword.”

“And the immortal sect cultivation method I want you to choose is that sword art of Jiqing Xianren.”

At this point, Qiqing Shenjun paused slightly and added, “Of course, this sword art is not only of great benefit to Zhenzhen and me, but it will also be the greatest opportunity of your life.”

“By comprehending the immortal path technology of manipulating matter through spirit from it, it will be enough to make you the wealthiest person in the university world.”

“Especially as the technology spreads, all of Kunxu below the 10th layer will transform into a world of emotion, where everyone can transform the world with love, affection, and righteousness, and you will become the leader of the entire industry…”

Hearing these words, Zhang Yu felt a surge of unease in his heart.

“A world of emotion? Who knows what kind of world the emotions of Kunxu people can transform into.”

At the same time, feeling the gazes of the two Huashen Shenjun, and feeling the two choices laid before him, Zhang Yu suddenly felt as if his body weighed a thousand jin. Under the pressure released by the two Huashen, he felt that no matter which one he chose, it would be incredibly difficult.

But the next moment, when Bai Zhenzhen’s figure flashed in Zhang Yu’s mind, and when he thought of her transforming into a sword to fight alongside him, Zhang Yu’s heart seemed to have made a decision.

“I…”

Just then, Tianyan Shenjun laughed, “No rush. Zhang Yu hasn’t won the championship yet, what’s the point of us rushing to decide on an immortal sect cultivation method?”

“Let’s first help Zhang Yu win the championship; then there will be plenty of time to slowly discuss the immortal sect cultivation method.”

Feeling the pressure suddenly disappear from around him, and sensing the relaxed atmosphere, Zhang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Qiqing Shenjun… the moment she agreed to lend Ah Zhen to me for the decisive battle, she probably already thought of the issue of the immortal sect cultivation method. So, even before I arrived, she had already discussed it with Tianyan Shenjun, which led to the current situation.”

“Ah Zhen, thank you. If it weren’t for you, allowing Qiqing Shenjun to intervene, I might have been forced by Tianyan Shenjun to sign the contract, instead of achieving a balance between Tianjian and Wanfa.”

Zhang Yu thought, “This balance allows me to temporarily have a certain degree of autonomy, rather than becoming a mere puppet.”

At the same time, Qiqing Shenjun’s figure gradually dissipated, leaving only her voice echoing in Zhang Yu’s ears.

“Alright, then after Zhang Yu wins the championship, our two schools will discuss the immortal sect cultivation method together.”

“For the next week, Zhang Yu is yours to train.”

“Before the decisive battle, I will send Zhenzhen over, and they will fight Kuang Tianqing together.”

As Qiqing Shenjun disappeared, Tianyan Shenjun continued, “For the next seven days, you need to further improve your combat power to contend with Kuang Tianqing.”

“Do you know what your biggest difference from Kuang Tianqing is currently?”

Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said solemnly, “She has mastered one more dao path than I have.”

Tianyan Shenjun nodded slightly, “Indeed, it seems you have a deep understanding of this point.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu’s breathing involuntarily quickened slightly, and he thought to himself, “Is it coming?”

He thought, “The dao path Kuang Tianqing has mastered more than me… that’s dual cultivation.”

“So, is the principal going to train my dual cultivation techniques next?”

“Will the senior sisters from various departments come to help me? What kind of difficult and terrifying dual cultivation practice will it be?”

While Zhang Yu was lost in thought, he heard Tianyan Shenjun say, “The missing piece of the puzzle that separates you from Kuang Tianqing is ‘suidan’ (shattering the dan).”

“Shattering the egg?!” Zhang Yu’s face changed drastically, and his heart sank. “No! Do you want me to become a woman like Kuang Tianqing too?!”

Tianyan Shenjun lightly tapped his fingertip, and projections of golden cores appeared before Zhang Yu.

He explained, “The golden core certification is, after all, limited. Even among the top ten, not every Foundation Establishment cultivator can break through to the Golden Core stage.”

“So, cultivators lingering at the peak of Foundation Establishment always try various methods to further strengthen themselves.”

“Various suidan methods are among the most effective techniques.”

“Impacting the golden core, and then, after successfully impacting but before completely entering the Golden Core realm, actively shattering one’s own golden core, using the surging power of the shattered golden core to propel oneself—that is the principle of this technique.”

“And with the development of suidan technology, various golden cores that don’t seek realms but only the power of suidan have also been developed.”

Tianyan Shenjun’s fingertip swept across the golden core projections and said, “These golden cores specifically for suidan cost at least several hundred spiritual coins each. Now, I’ll let the school sell them to you at a price of 10 spiritual coins per core.”

Then, Tianyan Shenjun sent a document to Zhang Yu, “I’m also giving you this ‘Tianyun Suidan Jing.’”

“What you need to do is to push this cultivation method as high as possible within the next seven days.”

“Remember, this is the most effective way for you to close the gap with Kuang Tianqing at this stage. Invest all your energy and focus into it.”
