You dare to cultivate without money?!

Chapter 1292 - 826: Investigation

Kuang Tianqing said calmly, "Su Lingyou, are you still loyal to the Sky Demon Sect?"

Su Lingyou said, "I’ve belonged to the Sky Demon Sect since the day I was born. From the moment I drew my first salary in the Sky Demon Sect, I’ve never done a single thing that would let the Sky Demon Sect down, never underpaid my taxes even once."

Kuang Tianqing nodded slightly, then asked, "So what kind of Heavenly Demon Person are you? Taizhen can’t represent the Heavenly Demon."

Su Lingyou’s heart stirred slightly. Combining this with the other party’s earlier hints, a sudden guess arose in her mind: "You’re with the Reincarnation Group?"

Thinking back on everything before and after she came to the Old Graveyard, a cold light suddenly flashed in her eyes, as she thought to herself, "Was this a trap laid by the Reincarnation Sect?"

"The Reincarnation Sect doing this... to repair the Old Graveyard? To get more Soul Cultivators, to pin down the High Intelligent Artifact Spirits, to have more people die and live again? And also to stir up a reckoning against the Taizhen Immortal Clan, uproot the Taizhen Immortal Clan within the Sky Demon Sect, and send them off to be reborn?"

"What a ruthless method, what a grand move."

Just then, Kuang Tianqing projected a stack of documents and said, "This is what we dug up from Ying Aikun’s side. Take a look."

Looking at the contents in the projection, Su Lingyou suddenly shut her eyes, as if countless thoughts were surging in her mind.

A moment later, she changed her tone and said, "After being held at the detention point for so long this time, I’ve also deeply reflected on my own problems."

Seeing the other party’s sudden change, a trace of oddness flashed through Kuang Tianqing’s eyes: "Then regarding the Taizhen Immortal Clan’s swallowing of Yingxin Heaven’s assets, how much do you know?"

Su Lingyou said, "I don’t know the total figure; I only know the portion related to the Sky Demon Sect. I’m willing to cooperate fully with the investigation from above, but I want to know how far you intend to dig?"

From her words, Kuang Tianqing already understood what she meant; the Su Lingyou before him wanted to defect, to throw in with them.

This did not exceed Kuang Tianqing’s expectations; in fact, this was his purpose in coming here in the first place.

Above Refining Void, Cultivators who establish Law Chains and uphold a Taoist Inheritance are important talents in any sect.

Su Lingyou’s Law Chains are tied to Spirit Realm information. They can be used to uphold Taizhen’s Taoist Inheritance, but they are, after all, more suited to upholding the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor’s Taoist Inheritance.

Kuang Tianqing also sensed the probing intent in her words. Although Su Lingyou wanted to join the Reincarnation Group, she still had to confirm the level of Kuang Tianqing and the person behind him.

Kuang Tianqing projected a document before Su Lingyou. "Su Peak Master, the Heavenly Demon Hall needs your full cooperation with my investigation into this incident."

Seeing the seal on the document, Su Lingyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "So it really is... the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor?"

"Old Ancestor, you were too high-profile, too powerful among the Immortals, and ended up catching the Immortal Emperor’s eye... You didn’t lose unjustly."

"In the end, it’s the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor who calls the shots in this Sky Demon Sect."

In that instant, Su Lingyou even felt a trace of excitement surge up. How could the thigh of a Taizhen Immortal compare, in comfort, to hugging the thigh of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor?

At the same time, Su Lingyou immediately straightened her posture. Her entire set of Taizhen Immortal Clan Cultivation Techniques instantly switched over to the orthodox Sky Demon Sect Demon Skills; the cold, aloof aura around her turned at once into dense Demonic Qi.

Su Lingyou said, "I will definitely give my full cooperation."

Kuang Tianqing then asked, "Based on what you know, roughly how much of Yingxin Heaven’s assets have been secretly swallowed and hidden by the Taizhen Immortal Clan?"

Su Lingyou said, "From what I know alone, roughly around one trillion two hundred billion."

Kuang Tianqing: "How much?!"

Su Lingyou: "At least over a trillion."

Kuang Tianqing’s Spirit Realm projection left the room, excitement rising in his eyes.

He had known there would be plenty of money inside this treasure chest that was the Taizhen Immortal Clan, but he hadn’t expected this much.

At this moment, Kuang Tianqing seemed already to see a storm of blood within the Sect Level, and to see the resources for his own upcoming promotion.

Kuang Tianqing looked out the window and could see the construction crews of the Sky Demon Sect, Netherworld Palace, and White Bone Sect all busy at work.

He knew that lately many Cultivators had come to the Maze Realm, trying to repair the site and resume production, but so far it all seemed futile.

"Right now a lot of sect enterprises are already pressing the special task force to speed up, wanting to restore the production lines here as soon as possible..."

Kuang Tianqingxin thought to himself, "Zhang Yu is probably about to be released."

...

Inside the Divine Hall deep in the Spirit Realm.

Beyond the layered red walls and golden tiles, heavenly dragons flew and phoenixes coiled.

A Great God wreathed in five-colored radiance stood tall in the hall, fingers forming a Taoist Technique. A wave of compassion seemed to wash over everything as it reached you; his eyes were half-closed, as though he could not bear to witness the sufferings of the world.

This Great God was none other than the Ministry of Ten Thousand People’s First True God, the All Living Beings Born Great God.

At this very moment, countless streams of information were flowing back and forth through the Spirit Realm within and around the great hall.

All kinds of data regarding every level of Kunxu converged before this Great God; countless options, decisions, and processes were laid out before him, determining the future of the countless trillions of living beings in Kunxu.

The next instant, a slight ripple passed through the divine sense of the All Living Beings Born Great God.

A document surfaced before him, looking no different from the other billions of documents appearing at the same time.

But its contents concerned Yingxin Heaven’s inheritance: registering and entering into the official rolls the Immortal Cave Heaven left behind by Yingxin Heaven, and temporarily registering its user as Zhang Yu of the Wanfa Sect.

There was also the matter of assigning the ownership of Yingxin Heaven’s bloodline power, which would likewise be temporarily held in trust by Zhang Yu, and likewise needed to be registered with the Ministry of Ten Thousand People.

"Zhang Yu?"

A sense of familiarity had just arisen when, in the next instant, all the information on Zhang Yu appeared in the consciousness of the All Living Beings Born Great God; he now knew everything about Zhang Yu.

"Him again."

The All Living Beings Born Great God still remembered awarding him a prize previously, and remembered his relationship with Zhang Pianpian.

His divine eyes swept through Zhang Yu’s experiences and data, and he thought to himself, "So Kunxu’s reforms weren’t in vain after all."

"Daring to strike at an Immortal... Yingxin Heaven can be said to have a worthy successor."

A trace of approval rose in the heart of the All Living Beings Born Great God; as a True God born to manage Kunxu, he seemed genuinely pleased to reward such a Cultivator.

"Approved."

...

"Magnetic Pole, it’s not that Master doesn’t want to help you, but for something this big you want us to stand up for you? You’re harming Master."

In the Spirit Realm, a young man looked at Magnetic Pole before him as if looking at some poor relative from the countryside. He shook his head, full of disdain, and said, "If you’d known it would come to this, why did you do what you did back then?"

"Back in the day, you were a famed prodigy too, a lot more impressive than me."

"Who would’ve thought you’d do something so foolish as choosing to stay down below?"

At this point, the youth looked at Magnetic Pole and sighed inwardly: "One misstep, and the difference is like heaven and earth. My current cultivation, skills, vision... are no longer something you, a former prodigy, can compare with. This is the price of the wrong choice—talent and hard work aren’t worth a penny in the face of choice."

"Magnetic Pole, you’ve been in the Lower Realm too long; you don’t understand the sect. This incident is not something people of your status can get involved in. As your former senior brother, I’ll give you a piece of advice."

"Just stay put in the training school and don’t meddle in things that aren’t your concern."

Watching the youth cut the connection, Magnetic Pole, though he had expected it, still couldn’t help clenching his fists.

Old Gao, at his side, said, "Sigh, you know that once this lot got into the sect, they stopped recognizing any past ties long ago. Why bother asking them?"

Magnetic Pole said, "If I don’t at least try, what else can I do? They’re the highest-ranked people I know in the sect. Now that something’s happened to Zhang Yu, who else can I go to but them?"

Just then, the Yinquan Divine Monarch sent them a message: You’d better look at this news[Spirit Realm Link]

"According to the investigation, the Sky Demon Sect’s Ying Aikun has lost all sect nature, seriously violating the sect and Heavenly Court’s laws and Law Chains, the nature of the case is grave and the impact extremely vile..."

Seeing line after line of disciplinary actions concerning the Taizhen Immortal Clan, Magnetic Pole felt a wave of shock: "They’re all people of the Taizhen Immortal Clan?"

Immediately after, Magnetic Pole saw Zhang Yu’s name.
