Chapter 1436 - 868: Sparks Ignite the Prairie

With Xiao Yunhe’s judgment on soul cultivation, the confrontation between Zhang Yu and Xiao Yunhe, successive battles, registration benefits... explosive news released one after another.

Along with the Shocking Sword cultivators constantly transporting and adding fuel everywhere, the live broadcasts of both sides were constantly attracting new viewers, garnering attention from inside and outside the Old Graveyard... more and more cultivators focusing on them.

And when Zhang Yu, after all this buildup, beneath the sky full of salary fire, demonstrated his infinite salary increase rights, he completely ignited the heat of this event, causing a sensation throughout the Old Graveyard.

"Infinite salary increase rights!?"

Lu Hengzhang, witnessing this scene, felt a violent shock in his heart, his mind filled with disbelief, even as a soul cultivator, he wondered if his computational abilities were insufficient, resulting in errors in information processing.

After repeatedly confirming, he had no choice but to admit that Zhang Yu indeed obtained infinite salary increase rights.

Previously, when Lu Hengzhang saw Zhang Yu raising the salaries of soul cultivators, he thought he had gone through formal procedures to secure a wave of salary increase policies for soul cultivators.

In Lu Hengzhang’s view, this was already as difficult as climbing to heaven.

He never expected that what Zhang Yu truly obtained was infinite salary increase rights.

This means Zhang Yu can even continue to raise the salaries of soul cultivators in the future.

"Infinite salary increase rights... in the sect, to delegate such authority, no matter how the process unfolds, or who supports Zhang Yu in doing this, ultimately it must pass the Immortal Emperor’s approval."

"In other words, it’s the Immortal Emperor who... granted Zhang Yu infinite salary increase rights??"

"Granting such authority to a cultivator who climbed up from Kunxu’s first layer, a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, a Level 5 Sect Affairs Officer?"

"Why is this happening? How could this happen? This is infinite salary increase rights, enough to stir up storms, controlling the life and death of millions. The last time such authority was given, wasn’t it to an Ascension Realm cultivator?"

At this moment, Lu Hengzhang’s heart was filled with turmoil, confusion, misunderstanding, and bitterness.

As a staunch supporter of the Innate Dao, he believed that the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor was always at the pinnacle, always correct, always wise, always representing the most advanced Immortal Path production direction and Immortal Dao technology development direction of Kunxu.

Yet as a supporter of the Innate Dao, he also believed that subordinates should always remain subordinates and should not transcend upwards.

However now... Zhang Yu, under the support of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor, is raising the salaries of soul cultivators? Counteracting refining void, tribulation crossing cultivators?

Has this world gone mad?

At the same time, in the small Yang Artifact where Lu Hengzhang resided, one soul cultivator after another successfully registered as new users on Zhang Yu’s side, ushering in salary increase notifications.

The notifications transformed into scorching salary fire, traversing the Spirit Realm, descending thunderously, instantly illuminating the dark world inside the Yang Artifact.

Lu Hengzhang could see that not only here, but increasingly more Yang Artifacts, Yin Artifacts, and even various magic remains throughout the Old Graveyard were being ignited by salary fire at this moment.

These magic remains covered by turbulent salary fire, at this moment, transformed into torches within the Spirit Realm, illuminating countless soul cultivators, declaring to them: Salary increase! It exists!

At this moment, seeing the sky full of salary fire, a flash of understanding suddenly crossed Lu Hengzhang’s mind.

"Such a heaven-shaking means, was it achieved by Zhang Yu relying on his own strength? No, of course not. The salary increase rights were given by the Immortal Emperor, the salary increase plan must also be approved by the Immortal Emperor, all this is the Immortal Emperor’s will."

"It’s the Immortal Emperor giving us a salary increase! It’s the Immortal Emperor illuminating our world!"

"Zhang Yu is doing what the Immortal Emperor wants him to do, shaping the Old Graveyard into the shape the Immortal Emperor desires, transmitting the authority of the Immortal Emperor, conveying the will of the Immortal Emperor... It could be said that now, Zhang Yu is the representative of the Immortal Emperor, the incarnation of the Immortal Emperor!"

"At this moment, Zhang Yu is the Immortal Emperor!"

In an instant, the recent confusion and misunderstanding in Lu Hengzhang’s eyes gradually vanished.

According to the Innate Dao’s principles, the Immortal Emperor is always correct, whenever anything contradicts this principle, this principle prevails.

"Understood! Now... everything is clear!"

"It’s not the Innate Dao that’s flawed, but my understanding of the Innate Dao that’s deviating."

At the same time, within the Yang Artifact where Lu Hengzhang was, countless soul cultivators with salary increase notifications formed salary fire, traversing the Spirit Realm, surging in all directions, seeking unregistered soul cultivators, inviting them to register as new users, which then lit up new salary fires.

And the originally bewildered Lu Hengzhang, at this moment, also leaped out of the Yang Artifact, moving within the Spirit Realm, likewise everywhere inviting soul cultivators.

Seeing the comments under Zhang Yu’s account continuously refreshed by soul cultivators, Lu Hengzhang also left a remark: Old Salary King [Fire]

For him, directly naming gratitude to Zhang Yu was unacceptable.

However, the title Old Salary King, in Lu Hengzhang’s view, was quite apt for referring to the incarnation of the Immortal Emperor.

"It wasn’t Zhang Yu who saved me, but the incarnation of the Immortal Emperor, Old Salary King, who saved me. I’m not thanking Zhang Yu, but thanking the Immortal Emperor. Even more, I’m not serving Zhang Yu, but serving the Immortal Emperor!"

The next moment, Lu Hengzhang saw the soul cultivation company of the Sky Demon Sect next door, at this moment, the entire building also began to emit one after another burst of salary fire.

Salary fire was spreading.

...

Ling Chiyue, as a Level 5 Sect Affairs Officer of the Sky Demon Sect, a cultivator of the Refining Void Realm, was originally one of the persons in charge at the Old Graveyard base of the Sky Demon Sect.
