Chapter 1294 - 827: Kunxu Hero Zhang Yu

Director Li: Someone wants to do a series report on Zhang Yu, and they want to interview you, asking about Zhang Yu’s deeds in the Lower Realm.

Upon seeing these words, Magnetic Pole was slightly moved: "A series report? It seems that this time not only is Zhang Yu being put in the spotlight to strike against the Taizhen Immortal Clan, but also to use Zhang Yu for some kind of propaganda?"

After a moment’s thought, Magnetic Pole replied: Besides me, there’s also a Qingmu Divine Monarch here, who is also Zhang Yu’s teacher and was his mentor during his university days.

Director Li: Alright, have him join the interview as well.

Magnetic Pole said: But he’s from the Civil Engineering Department, is that okay?

Director Li: I’ll go and ask.

After getting Magnetic Pole’s response, Old Gao couldn’t help but say: "Why mention me? I’m just a civil engineering teacher. If others know Zhang Yu has a civil engineering background, it might not be good for him."

Magnetic Pole said: "Even if you’re from civil engineering, you were his first mentor at Wanfa University. Moreover..."

Magnetic Pole looked at the news report content and slowly analyzed: "If I’m not mistaken, the upcoming reports on Zhang Yu will probably emphasize his humble beginnings."

"The lower his origins, the happier those reporting on him and trying to promote him might be."

"Old Gao, you and civil engineering are not stains on him but are his roots and his solid foundation for climbing higher peaks in the future."

At that moment, Magnetic Pole’s gaze shifted upon seeing a friend request.

"It’s Xuanji. My subordinates accidentally deleted you while cleaning up the friend list, so I’m adding you again."

Magnetic Pole: I don’t recommend you do that [bowing clasped hands]

Soon, Xuanji sent another friend request: [kowtow]

Magnetic Pole’s lips curled slightly, and he replied: Xuanji, you’ve been in the Upper Realm for so long and are not familiar with our situation. With this matter causing such a stir, you’d better not get involved. As a former fellow disciple, I advise you to just stay put and not meddle.

Xuanji: [red envelope]

Only then did Magnetic Pole accept Xuanji’s request.

Xuanji immediately sent an Immortal Coin red envelope and then began asking about Zhang Yu: Junior Sister, give me a hint, which patron is our junior nephew favored by?

Looking at the content sent by Xuanji, Magnetic Pole shook his head and thought, "This Zhang Yu, he’s really good at finding powerful backers. How would I know whose backing he’s secured now?"

...

Inside a cave mansion of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Clan.

Bu Yingshu hurriedly found her father and immediately asked: "Dad! Was it you who helped Zhang Yu?!"

Bu Yuan Gui replied calmly: "Your father, me, is just an Ascension Cultivator, a Level 10 Sect Affairs Officer, not an Immortal. Do you think relying on me could achieve this?"

Bu Yuan Gui spoke quite directly because he feared that if he spoke too indirectly, his daughter in front of him wouldn’t understand.

Bu Yingshu was even more surprised upon hearing this and said: "Then who did it?"

Bu Yuan Gui sighed and said: "Who else could it be? Naturally, it’s the Immortal’s intention. But which specific Immortal, even I don’t know. Currently, it seems likely... that Zhang Yu is being used to further drive Kunxu’s development."

Saying this, he also instructed: "Once Zhang Yu comes out, you should contact him and ask what his plans are next..."

But before Bu Yuan Gui could finish, Bu Yingshu frowned and said: "Why should I contact him? Shouldn’t he be the one to seize the opportunity and immediately reach out to me?"

Bu Yuan Gui explained: "I’ve already received news that part of the Maze Realm in the Old Graveyard will be designated as an industrial development zone for multi-sect joint reconstruction."

"Zhang Yu, as the heir of Yingxin Heaven’s inheritance, will temporarily assume the position of vice-chairman of the management committee of this industrial development zone."

Seeing Bu Yingshu deep in thought and repeatedly nodding, Bu Yuan Gui realized his daughter hadn’t grasped the intricacies. After all, he’d seen Bu Yingshu like this countless times since she was a child.

"The development zone construction of the Old Graveyard involves the rise and fall of multiple industries, including Corpse Items and Soul Cultivators. The annual output value of the graveyard can reach hundreds of billions of Immortal Coins."

"Zhang Yu, with the opportunity of the Immortal Inheritance, can participate in the management work of the development zone with his status as a Level 4 Sect Staff."

"This is a position where real achievements can be made. If Zhang Yu can accomplish something in this role, he’ll have a place among the Refining Void Taoist Monarchs."

Bu Yingshu knew that although the Divinity Transformation and Refining Void might seem only a level apart, the gap between them is vast as heaven and earth.

According to ancient sayings, the difference in combat power between the two cannot be measured by reason. A cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Realm could never defeat a Refining Void Taoist Monarch.

And in present-day Kunxu, under the support of the Law Chain, Taoist Inheritance systems, and more, the gap between the two in terms of sect status, authority, resources, and influence is even greater. It truly marks the beginning of participation in Kunxu’s ruling class.

At this thought, Bu Yingshu’s brows suddenly shot up, and she secretly thought: "Zhang Yu can reach the Refining Void? Wouldn’t that mean he’s catching up with me? How can that be?"

Realizing her little pet under her was showing signs of catching up, Bu Yingshu couldn’t help but feel a tinge of anxiety and irritation in her heart.

Bu Yuan Gui continued: "In any case, Zhang Yu’s status is different now. You can’t command him around like before."

Seeing Bu Yingshu’s absent-minded look, Bu Yuan Gui knew his daughter wasn’t taking his words to heart.

However, Bu Yuan Gui didn’t say much more; he simply continued: "After you contact Zhang Yu, let him introduce some of the reconstruction projects of the Old Graveyard. Tell him we can invest."
