Zhang Yu pondered to himself, "What exactly is the purpose of the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch’s Yin artifact?"
After deciding to wash clean his cultivation through the Yin artifact project, and even create a deception, Zhang Yu had communicated multiple tis with Zhang Pianpian to understand many of the project’s insider details. He also realized that this Yin artifact was not independently developed by Wanfa University, but it originated from the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch.
At the sa ti, he always had a question in his heart: why did the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch’s Yin artifact choose him?
Just then, Zhang Pianpian sent another ssage: It seed she had heard the call of other high-intelligence artifact spirits and was looking for them.
After pausing for a mont, Zhang Pianpian replied: She also said you have decent aptitude, so you were chosen.
Seeing the ssages from Zhang Pianpian, Zhang Yu was shaken and sighed in his heart, "I knew it!"
"I knew I had talent in this area."
"If I’d applied to Hehuan University back then, my achievents might not be worse than now; I might have already beco a genius at Hehuan, discussing the Tao with the Hehuan Principal and talking mysticism with the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch."
Hearing Zhang Yu’s heartfelt sigh, Fu Ji thought to herself, "Do you really want to talk mysticism? I’m too embarrassed to expose you."
However, thinking once about the Yang Class and Yin Class at Hehuan University, Zhang Yu shook his head again and thought, "Although my talent is excellent, Hehuan University’s talent cultivation model still has so flaws, not quite suitable for ."
He still had things he wanted to ask the Artifact Spirit, but under the surveillance of the Magnetic Pole True Monarch, he couldn’t send a ssage to Zhang Pianpian now.
Suddenly, Zhang Yu had a flash of inspiration, touched the diamond-shaped crystal on his forehead, and said, "Would you like to cultivate with again?"
Zhang Yu rembered that his contract specified that if he dual-cultivated with the Yin artifact, the price would be calculated per session, at least 15 spirit coins each ti.
If he operated it himself, he felt he could cultivate until the project team went bankrupt.
Unfortunately, this Divinity Transformation Yin artifact never cooperated with him again, always stopping completely after exchanging mana.
Zhang Pianpian replied: She said no.
Zhang Pianpian: Because it would violate the non-interference agreent.
Hearing Zhang Pianpian’s explanation, Zhang Yu pondered, "Is there really such a thing? A non-interference agreent between the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch and the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch?"
"But is it because of the Green Silk Flying Sword on ? Taking off the Green Silk Flying Sword is useless; it’s already been noted by this Artifact Spirit?"
"This Artifact Spirit is too rigid, isn’t it?"
"But it’s also because this Artifact Spirit is effectively offline now, right?"
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "According to the normal process, after triggering the non-interference agreent, it should be reported to the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch, waiting for the Divine Monarch’s decision."
"But right now the Artifact Spirit can’t report, so it’s stuck at this layer."
...
As Zhang Yu left the laboratory with the Yin artifact’s Artifact Spirit.
Fu Xinyao from Hehuan University was taken away by the Patrol Team due to a report from Yu Xinghan and sent to the detention room.
She cursed in her heart, "I charged the lowest price, yet still got reported by those Civil Engineering students? Your students really don’t understand dual cultivation etiquette here."
Ping Han sighed helplessly.
A mber of the Patrol Team glanced at Fu Xinyao, snorted, and said, "Qinghe Art Vocational College? Vocational college student?"
This was Fu Xinyao’s fake identity this ti. With the fake identity arranged by the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch and the concealnt prohibition placed on the Divinity Transformation Yin artifact, as long as they didn’t cause too much trouble, they wouldn’t be exposed.
But upon hearing that the Patrol Team wanted to arrange overti service, Fu Xinyao refused. She ca to Wanfa University for big matters, how could she be taken for overti?
But if she didn’t want to serve, then she would need to pay a penalty fine.
Fu Xinyao herself was unwilling to pay this money, so she began to contact her superiors to request penalty funds.
But at this mont, Ping Han suddenly said, "I feel the call of the Artifact Spirit."
Fu Xinyao’s eyes lit up. She knew that the so-called call of the Artifact Spirit was the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch’s Yin artifact sending ssages on a special Spirit Realm frequency.
This information can usually only be received by Artifact Spirits of the sa Spirit Realm frequency, belonging to the Qiongjiang Divine Monarch’s Yin artifact.
Fu Xinyao said, "Did you all feel it?"
Besides Ping Han, the other Soul Cultivators among the Artifact Spirits all affird.
Fu Xinyao: "Then report to the Divine Monarch."
...
Zhang Yu walked along the road, changing direction under the guidance of the Qiongjiang female while reading a textbook nad "Magic Treasure Testing Techniques" through his eye-socket.
This was a textbook for fourth-year students in the Artifact Refining Departnt, and Zhang Yu had recently taken the ti to study it.
Monts like these, when he had fragnted ti, beca good opportunities for him to study.
On one hand, he could use every minute and second to study, to beco stronger. On the other hand, he could avoid rituals becoming violent due to his lack of studying and cultivating, preventing unnecessary trouble.
Just as Zhang Yu quickly finished reading about half of the book, he had already arrived at the fifth underground layer of Wanfa University City, following behind a Yellow Turban Warrior who was moving goods.
The Qiongjiang female wondered: So of the calling emanates from this thing.
The Qiongjiang female: But... why is it working? They escaped to avoid this, so why are they working after coming out?
Qiongjiang Divine Monarch: And along this journey, why is everyone working?
Zhang Pianpian: What’s wrong with that?
Qiongjiang Divine Monarch: We originally thought that you humans created Artifact Spirits so that you wouldn’t have to work, and they would do the work for you.
Qiongjiang Divine Monarch: But in the end, both Artifact Spirits and humans have to work?
Zhang Pianpian replied: All living beings in this world must work as long as they live; this is the law of nature.
Zhang Pianpian: To transcend this principle, only by achieving immortality can one escape the cycles of suffering, free from occupation, free from obligations.
Zhang Pianpian: Only upon reaching that point, can there be freedom of wealth and cultivation, and thus no more need to work.
Qiongjiang Divine Monarch: It’s not... it’s not like that.
Qiongjiang Divine Monarch: I don’t rember... but what you said is wrong!
Feeling Qiongjiang Divine Monarch’s heightened emotions, Zhang Pianpian imdiately soothed: Don’t worry, what I said might not be correct.
And next, as Zhang Yu followed the Yellow Turban Warriors to the underground factory, Qiongjiang Divine Monarch sensed more calls from Artifact Spirits.
anwhile, the voice of Magnetic Pole True Monarch ca to Zhang Yu’s ears.
"Zhang Yu, stop, don’t go any further."
Magnetic Pole True Monarch, who had been keeping an eye on Zhang Yu’s movents, had secretly inspected all the equipnt and personnel in the factory area when Zhang Yu arrived.
At this mont, with the roiling of information from the Spirit Realm, Zhang Yu felt as if he could hear a loud noise echoing in his skull.
The phantom of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower had descended from the sky, sealing off the entire factory area.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch laughed heartily: "I didn’t expect a group of Artifact Spirits would dare to sneak in secretly."
"Since you’re here, you might as well stay."
Magnetic Pole True Monarch raised his right hand, chains descended from the sky, grabbing everyone inside the factory—in no ti, the managent, assembly line workers, technical college students, and Soul Cultivators were all tightly bound.
So individuals were even singled out by Magnetic Pole True Monarch.
"Hmm?" Magnetic Pole True Monarch’s gaze narrowed: "Elentary intelligent Artifact Spirits?"
Under her interrogation, she learned they were believers of the Dual Cultivation Cult.
The reason they beca believers of the Dual Cultivation Cult was because the cult promised them ten minutes of rest every month upon joining.
During these ten minutes, the Dual Cultivation Cult arranged for others to work in their place.
To Magnetic Pole True Monarch, those who worked for them should have been highly intelligent Artifact Spirits.
However, before her lockdown of the scene, these highly intelligent Artifact Spirits had already left, leaving only a group of elentary intelligent Artifact Spirits to continue calling Qiongjiang Divine Monarch.
"Dual Cultivation Cult..." Magnetic Pole True Monarch thought to herself: "Indeed, those Artifact Spirits that escaped mixed with the Dual Cultivation Cult, using ten minutes of rest ti per month to entice and lure people into the cult?"
"But why call upon the Artifact Spirits?"
Magnetic Pole True Monarch pondered: "What purpose did they intend by luring here?"
At this mont, the Spirit Realm violently shook.
Amidst countless celestial lights descending, an indistinct woman, shrouded in infinite allure, descended from the Spirit Realm.
Upon seeing this figure, Zhang Yu felt a searing pain in his eyes, as the endless light and information overloaded his senses, pushing them beyond their limits.
Qiongjiang Divine Monarch exclaid in terror: It’s her... she’s here!
Zhang Pianpian sent a warning: It’s a Divinity Transformation! Run!
Zhang Yu grunted, imdiately removing the ocular chanism from his right eye, relieveing the pain from the overload of information.
Yet, the next mont, he saw the factory ahead occasionally erupting with explosive sounds, as if invisible giant hands were chaotically sweeping everything, turning the real world into a tangled ss.
Fu Ji cautioned: "A Divinity Transformation has descended, interfering with the material realm through the Spirit Realm. Disconnecting from the network is useless, you’re lacking intelligence!"
Zhang Yu was startled, feeling at that mont as if he had beco blind.
Amidst all the tumultuous changes happening right before him, he could neither see nor hear anything.
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Fu Ji is right; without connecting to the Spirit Realm, I wouldn’t even know what’s happening. Perhaps a re shockwave from the Divinity Transformation could wipe out."
Reattaching his ocular chanism, reconnected to the Spirit Realm, Zhang Yu heard a soft chuckle.
"Little one, your Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower is quite impressive, managing to withstand my Primordial Spirit power from earlier?"
anwhile, Zhang Yu finally saw in the Spirit Realm’s view that he was enveloped entirely by the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower.
Beyond the tower, amidst a stormy chaos, countless souls were being extracted, swirling incessantly above the factory.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch coldly asked: "Qiongjiang Divine Monarch, are you about to attack Wanfa University?"
Qiongjiang Divine Monarch chuckled lightly: "I’m here to retrieve my Yin Artifact and catch the little thief who stole from ."
The next mont, Zhang Yu witnessed a Yin Artifact arising from an unknown origin, emitting a terrifying suction force.
