Chapter 1572 - 911: Master of Unique Skills, Zhang Yu’s Trump Card?

Watching the remedial classes rapidly sweep across the entire city, one of the judges said, "Such powerful Law Chain technology—this diffusion speed is insane."

Bu Yuan Gui nodded slightly. "They’re using advanced Law Chain tech to spread it as early as possible, so that every single material person who’s affected by certificate validity and plans to prepare for the exam will start by complying with the Law Chain, and then gradually come to recognize it."

In the city, a large number of cultivators were cursing at first.

But as they kept attending remedial classes, kept preparing for exams, they became increasingly supportive of the One-Certificate Temporary Certificate strategy.

"Some of those old geezers who rely on seniority have long since deserved to be weeded out!"

"Everyone taking the same certification exam, the strong stay, the weak are eliminated—that’s fair!"

"If you can’t pass, that just means you’re incompetent! A true powerhouse will never be eliminated!"

Ling Chenji of the Innate Dao nodded slightly and said, "Indeed. If you make them prepare for exams every single day, their only concern will be holding their current level, instead of constantly scheming about how to climb upward. It stabilizes order within the sect."

Dugu Ming smiled. "Although it lowers work efficiency a bit in the early stage, with each round of competition it will inevitably promote the overall strength of cultivators at all realms, and it has also opened up a whole new remedial-class market."

Su Xianchen sighed. "This term’s Third Generation Law legislation really is packed with talent. All the major factions sifted the best from the best and selected the most outstanding people."

Dugu Ming said, "It’s all thanks to the Immortal Emperor’s virtue. I think that if the people outside come to know, they’ll be unable to wait to embrace this new Kunxu era founded on ’Minimum Lifespan’, ’Artifact Spirit Human Rights’, ’Work Gambling’, and ’One-Certificate Temporary Certificate’."

Ling Chenji of the Innate Dao said, "Don’t forget Di Xuan’s ’One-Certificate Permanent Certificate’. I estimate his potential evaluation is about to step into the top third tier."

Everyone immediately looked over and saw that in Di Xuan’s city, his True Domain of Laws already enveloped the entire city.

"So fast." Fa Liuyuan was shocked in his heart. "His Law Chain technology has already reached this level? How long has it been, and it’s already covering the whole city?"

Fa Liuyuan observed the impact brought by Di Xuan’s Law Chain, and immediately saw... huge amounts of tax revenue being extracted from countless cultivators in the city, as if transformed into strands of Immortal Path potential, stripped from the hands of material people and surging up toward the True Gods in the sky.

Fa Liuyuan’s heart stirred. "This is..."

On the other side, Ling Chenji said, "This is permanent Foundation Establishment Certificates, permanent Golden Core Certificates, permanent Nascent Soul Certificates, permanent Divinity Transformation Certificates..."

They only heard Ling Chenji sigh. "Di Xuan’s One-Certificate Permanent Certificate is not only to prop up the Immortals; it’s also leaving a sliver of survival chance for the world’s cultivators."

"As long as one purchases the permanent certificate for each realm, one only needs to periodically pay Foundation Establishment Tax, Golden Core Tax, Nascent Soul Tax, Divinity Transformation Tax... to enjoy the certificate permanently. Even after Reincarnation, the realm certificate will still be retained."

If Zhang Yu were here, he would realize that this is the full version of ’One-Certificate Permanent Certificate’, far more complex than what Di Xuan had explained to him.

But Fa Liuyuan at the scene, upon hearing this, sneered inwardly. He knew that although the Innate Dao appears to have given up on solidifying realms for Lower Cultivators, and even refined within ’One-Certificate Permanent Certificate’ a whole set of permanent certificates adapted to the lower cultivators, claiming to leave them a sliver of hope—in his view...

"A bullshit sliver of hope. This is just a permanent leasing certificate."

Fa Liuyuan observed the contents and execution of Di Xuan’s Law Chains and thought to himself, "As long as it isn’t a temporary certificate, it counts as a permanent certificate, and is treated as tax-liable—meaning you must regularly pay realm tax."

"Moreover, cultivators born in the Lower Realm, cultivators coming from the Outer Sect, all have to pay additional taxes."

"This bunch from the Innate Dao looks like they’re tolerating upward mobility for Lower Cultivators, but in truth they’re using this Law Chain to fasten a chain around every lower cultivator."

Fa Liuyuan sighed inwardly. "How can newly promoted lower cultivators compare in assets to veteran cultivators? If they have to pay this tax, the gap between the two sides will only grow larger and larger."

"Once ’One-Certificate Permanent Certificate’ and ’One-Certificate Temporary Certificate’ start working in tandem, they push all managed cultivators into a state where realm certificates are provisional, that is, realms themselves are provisional."

"Either you take the ’One-Certificate Temporary’ route, endure over time, and rely on exam after exam to maintain your realm."

"Or you take the ’One-Certificate Permanent’ route, endlessly paying taxes, relying on money to maintain your realm."

Fa Liuyuan could sense that once these two major Law Chains start working together, efficiency will soar; they will impose a more stringent, more brutal, more tightly-knit management system on the vast majority of cultivators in the Wanfa Sect.

Especially: the more these two Law Chains operate—more exams, more taxes—the more the cultivators will come to acknowledge this system.

Meanwhile, Su Xianchen at the side said, "Di Xuan truly is a talent groomed for years by the Innate Dao. In this term’s legislation, aside from Lie Jinghong, we now have another Law Chain with a top second-tier potential level. It’s truly worthy of celebration."

Lie Jinghong, as the most watched trainee in this legislation term, had already reached a fourth-tier potential evaluation before formal legislation, relying on powerful cultivation and tech.

After legislation began, with the infusion from many judges, he was the first to complete full-city coverage of his Law Chains, pushing his potential evaluation up to the third tier.

Ling Chenji laughed. "Once the second stage begins, after Di Xuan’s ’One-Certificate Permanent Certificate’ and Bu Yingshu’s ’One-Certificate Temporary Certificate’ start working together, their potential evaluation ranks can rise another notch."

Just then, a judge said, "Lie Jinghong’s evaluation rank has been raised to the second tier!"
