Chapter 1431 - 866: Power in Hand, Life and Death in a Thought

After analyzing the Immortal Emperor’s reply, Fa Liuyuan looked at Zhang Yu and said, "You have submitted a petition with me twice in a row, and now you’ve been pushed to this position. You’re about to take charge of the salary increase authority and have completely caught the attention of the Immortal Emperor."

"But don’t let the Immortal Emperor’s quick response this time, even with an exclamation mark stressing the importance, make you think you can act recklessly."

"Remember the content of our conversation today, remember what you told me today, remember what your goal is."

Zhang Yu understood that the other person was referring to his previous mention of his long-term goal of ascending to immortality and achieving cultivation freedom.

Fa Liuyuan continued, "I’ve agreed with two Immortals that if your merit is perfect this time, when you refine the void and unite with the path in the future, we will support you in accessing the most advanced law chain technology and include you in the plan to pioneer a new Taoist inheritance."

As he spoke, Fa Liuyuan patted his shoulder and said, "By that time, maybe you’ll be the one writing to the Immortal Emperor and sending me a copy."

Since Yingxin Heaven betrayed the sect, the Reformist Faction’s power has greatly diminished, and its decline has become more apparent over these past few years.

This made Fa Liuyuan value Zhang Yu, the bearer of the Immortal Inheritance chosen by Yingxin Heaven, even more.

Especially given Zhang Yu’s series of actions, which revealed some possibility of becoming immortal, making Fa Liuyuan feel that after he and Tai Yue Bai each achieve immortality, Zhang Yu might be another Immortal candidate for the Reformist Faction.

Zhang Yu solemnly nodded, sensing that Fa Liuyuan was using this promise of the future to enhance his perception of long-term benefits.

And only this expectation and hope for the future could help him resist the temptation brought by the salary increase authority.

Simultaneously, the Kao Sect Avatar in Zhang Yu’s mind was ecstatic after seeing the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor’s reply: "Fa Liuyuan knows nothing! He doesn’t know how much the Immortal Emperor values us."

"Did you see the Immortal Emperor’s reply? The Immortal Emperor means that as long as our salary increase has a basis, we will be supported no matter what."

"What kind of grace is this? What kind of trust? What kind of hope?"

"The burden of extending the Law Realm to the entire Soul Cultivation industry now falls entirely on our shoulders!"

The Kao Sect Avatar shouted in Zhang Yu’s mind, "What virtue and ability do we have to be entrusted with such a heavy burden by the Immortal Emperor? This time we must not betray the Immortal Emperor’s trust."

Amid the Avatar’s excited shouts, Fu Ji said, "Can you not shout so loudly? It’s giving me a headache."

Xiangzi: "Isn’t it just replying to a letter? Why so excited? You’re bothering Boss Fu Ji."

Fu Ji scornfully said, "Do you still think the Immortal Emperor values us so much? He values the Law Realm inheritance and the Soul Cultivation Market. He threw these two sentences to make us desperate."

"Just these two empty sentences make you feel what virtue and ability? Where did your usual caution and vigilance go?"

Saying this, Fu Ji sighed, "Don’t be fooled by the Immortal Emperor’s beautiful words, they’re all to make us work freely. Once we lose our usefulness or cause trouble, I’m afraid the Immortal Emperor will abandon us as soon as he’s done with us."

Fu Ji already felt anxious about this, seeing the unlimited salary increase authority as both an opportunity and a crisis.

Fu Ji inwardly sighed, "Can’t Zhang Yu just be steady, climb step by step? Why does he like explosive enhancement so much?"

Although Fu Ji considered herself fond of speculation and going all in, seeing Zhang Yu’s actions this time made her feel a wave of worry. The salary increase authority involves too much, unable to end well afterward.

The Kao Sect Avatar shouted, "If we cause trouble for the Immortal Emperor, shouldn’t we be abandoned? Only loyalty to the Immortal Emperor is the highest manifestation of sect nature."

Fu Ji was speechless, "There’s no point in talking to someone as sect-obsessed as you."

Zhang Yu was indifferent to the argument in his mind and said nothing.

But he knew, the more the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor wrote to him like this, the more it revealed the Immortal Emperor’s anticipation for the upcoming changes in the Old Graveyard, and the more he longed for the expansion of the Law Realm.

If he fails to manage this well and fulfill the Immortal Emperor’s expectations, the Immortal Emperor’s current warmth will turn into ruthless reckoning afterward.

Zhan Xian also warned, "No matter which Immortal Emperor, they’re a Kunxu Cultivator first. While you should be mindful, I believe it’s still necessary to remind you not to think your relationship with the Immortal Emperor is special or that you have a connection."

At this moment, Fa Liuyuan said, "Since the Immortal Emperor has agreed, the salary increase authority should be issued today, and it’s up to you from there."

After bidding farewell to Zhang Yu, Fa Liuyuan’s projection vanished from the Old Graveyard.

At the same time, Fa Liuyuan, watching the image of Zhang Yu disappearing from in front of him, also sighed inwardly, "This is both luck and possibly misfortune. Whether to become a discarded knife or step by step become the player depends on the Cultivator himself..."

Not long after Fa Liuyuan left, Zhang Yu received a message from Le Mulan.

Le Mulan: I’m fine, I feel very good now! It’s just not very convenient to keep in touch.

After chatting a bit with Le Mulan, Zhang Yu received no further replies.
