Chapter 1474 - 880: (Requesting Monthly Votes)

In Zhang Yu’s mind, the Kao Sect Avatar shouted loudly: "I know, all along, many people have doubted that I have a background, that I have a patron, which is why I’ve been able to get promoted so quickly."

"Today, I’m going to tell you, I indeed have a background, indeed have a patron. I am a disciple of Wanfa, practicing the cultivation techniques of the Wanfa Sect, learning the skills of the Wanfa Sect, and the Immortal Emperor is my benefactor."

"From the Yufa Pavilion to the Management Committee, and then to the Netherworld Property Department, every step has been the Immortal Emperor’s promotion. If you talk about background, the Immortal Emperor is my biggest background. Without the Immortal Emperor, there would be no present-day Zhang Yu, nor the current Netherworld Property Department, nor the thriving Old Graveyard, nor the groundbreaking changes in the Soul Cultivator industry."

"The reason I can stand here today is because the Immortal Emperor recognized my talent, has the ambition to change the world, and I’m just the servant of fate, these are my heartfelt words."

"From now on, I will continue to comprehend the will of the Immortal Emperor, execute the intent of the Immortal Emperor, to repay the sect, repay Kunxu, raise salaries for Soul Cultivators, and bring eternal peace to the Old Graveyard..."

In the Spirit Realm, countless Soul Cultivators were also watching Zhang Yu’s live broadcast, listening to his award acceptance speech at that moment.

Having received a pay raise, they were no longer a silent invisible group but rather a presence capable of sending a flood of comments in the live chat.

"The Old Salary King has arrived!"

"Minister Zhang! Please be the Minister of the Netherworld Property Department forever! I wish to always be your salary slave!"

"[Fist] Old Salary King [Fire]!!"

Among the many Soul Cultivators sending comments, Lu Hengzhang was one of them.

Initially, when he saw Zhao Tianxing also winning an award, receiving it personally from Zhi Miao Immortal Venerable, he was both shocked and angry.

"Why is it that Zhao Tianxing again? And yet another Soul Cultivator from the Lower Realm?"

He couldn’t help but curse inwardly: "Even if you want to give an award to a Soul Cultivator, couldn’t you find one from a sect?"

Unconsciously, Lu Hengzhang’s view on Soul Cultivators had begun to change gradually.

"Soul Cultivators...they are not without their merits."

"Especially Soul Cultivators after a pay raise, they have money, so can they still be considered bottom-tier?"

"Our high-paid Soul Cultivators are not inferior to some Sect Affairs Officers."

But regarding Soul Cultivators from the Lower Realm, he still couldn’t hide his inner revulsion: "They all come to the sect to beg for food, how can they be on the same level as us in getting a pay raise?"

When Lu Hengzhang heard Zhang Yu’s award acceptance speech, he couldn’t help but nod repeatedly and agree deeply.

"Although Zhang Yu is from the Lower Realm, his sect affiliation is not below mine."

"As I said, transforming the Soul Cultivation industry and raising salaries for Soul Cultivators, that’s essentially the will of the Immortal Emperor. Zhang Yu simply became the Old Salary King, becoming the embodiment of the Immortal Emperor, executing the Immortal Emperor’s intent."

As for Zhang Yu’s origin from the Lower Realm, at this moment, it no longer mattered to Lu Hengzhang.

"Zhang Yu is now favored by the Immortal Emperor, and can be considered as being from the same sect."

At the same time, while Zhang Yu was delivering his award acceptance speech, within the unknown high ranks of Kunxu.

Fa Liuyuan was watching the live broadcast together with two immortals.

Fa Liuyuan smiled slightly and said: "Zhang Yu’s influence has grown, and if everything goes smoothly, it might not be a problem for him to become a ninth-level sect officer in the future, break through to the Ascension Realm, and take charge of the Ten Thousand Laws Hall within a hundred years."

Upon hearing Fa Liuyuan’s assessment, Rou Jia Immortal spoke calmly: "Zhang Yu is indeed worthy of being the chosen inheritor by our senior brother, deserving of focused cultivation...in the future, he can surely be a pillar for Tai Yue Bai, a pioneer general for our Reform Faction, and bear the heavy responsibility of sect reform."

Fa Liuyuan knew that with the successful reform of the Soul Cultivator industry in the Old Graveyard, especially with Zhang Yu bestowed extraordinary merit, it greatly excited the entire Reform Faction.

Because, in the eyes of many cultivators, this is a signal released by the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor, one that values the Reform Faction and is willing to support it.

This also made Zhang Yu the focal investment target for the Reform Faction’s future, currently second only to Tai Yue Bai in status.

If Tai Yue Bai encounters any problems in the future, Zhang Yu will inevitably take over.

On the other side, Yi Xuan Immortal said: "Unfortunately, Zhang Yu’s time in breaking through to Divinity Transformation is too short, and the Divine Light Ten Changes is likely far from achieved. Even if he forcefully breaks through to Void Refinement in the next year, there is no way to compete with those cultivators who have accumulated experience in the Void Refinement Realm for years, ultimately too late to participate in the establishment of the first batch of Third Generation Laws."

Fa Liuyuan also nodded slightly with a sense of regret, he thought to himself: "I thought that the official operation of the Third Generation Laws would take another two to three years, then there would be an opportunity for Zhang Yu to join Tai Yue Bai to go together."

"But I didn’t expect that plans couldn’t keep up with changes, the operation time of the first batch of Third Generation Laws was advanced, then we can only let Tai Yue Bai go first, arrange Zhang Yu to go next time."

Fa Liuyuan knew that the opportunity to establish the first batch of Third Generation Laws had already been eyed by several major forces within the sect...

He thought to himself: "Each year’s resources for establishing laws are limited, and the opportunity for the first batch of Third Generation Laws is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"If each faction within the sect wants to seize this opportunity, it will inevitably go through a fierce battle."

"Tai Yue Bai...although he has reached the peak of Refining Void Realm for many years, with extraordinary talent and has been awarded extraordinary merit, he has been preparing for the Third Generation Laws for years, but it is still hard to say that in next year’s legislation, he will certainly be able to stand out."

Fa Liuyuan knew that several major factions within Wanfa Sect were also well-prepared for this Third Generation Laws, with cultivators not weaker than Tai Yue Bai participating.

"This intense battle...Zhang Yu avoiding it might not necessarily be a bad thing."

At the same time, elsewhere...within the Grotto Heaven of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Clan.
