Chapter 1627 926: Benefiting the Sect and Immortals, I Highly Approve

"The most dangerous layer, hmm?"

After ending the call with Zhang Pianpian, Zhang Yu reflected on the intelligence she provided, thinking to himself: "Considering the Reincarnation Group and the information from my sister, it seems... Layer 16 is indeed where the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor wants me to go."

Reviewing the list of outdated Law Chains provided by Zhang Pianpian, Si Shian's "Four-Hour Workday" and Ban Jincheng's "Paid Overtime" were at the top.

Zhang Yu examined Zhang Pianpian's data analysis, pondering: "These laws have become tools for certain interest groups, deviating from the current Immortal Path development of the Wanfa Sect."

With the aid of the Reincarnation Group and Zhang Pianpian's intelligence, Zhang Yu gained a clearer understanding of the situation.

Suddenly, he recalled his experience on the first layer...

"The Foundation Establishment exam I went through, and the reforms Wang Yin brought to the first layer, all stem from the influence of the upper echelons, right?"

"And now, unknowingly, I've reached a position where I can exert such influence."

"My choices will affect countless futures, creating a significant impact, from the sect down to the first layer."

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: "And the information gap from my upper position reveals things that might remain mysteries forever in the lower layers, yet are crystal clear to me now."

While Zhang Yu was deep in contemplation, Fu Ji mused: "The intelligence provided by Zhang Pianpian is indeed crucial and useful, but it itself serves as a directional indicator."

"So, behind Zhang Pianpian's actions in providing intelligence, is it purely to aid Zhang Yu, or is there a beneficial motive, reflecting a certain attitude from some True Gods or even the Heavenly Court?"

Fu Ji recalled his dealings with the Reincarnation Group: "Hmph, two more Baozi-like Evil Gods would have been enough for me to level up."

"Yet this time, they provided two Evil Gods far inferior to Baozi, clearly trying to stall me, using the transaction to guide Zhang Yu's decision-making."

In Fu Ji's view, whether it was the Reincarnation Group or Zhang Pianpian, their support for Zhang Yu inevitably carried a demand for benefits and represented the stances of different factions.

"Zhang Yu, as you continue to climb higher, become wealthier, and more powerful, all those around you will inevitably bring increasing demands for benefits in your interactions with them. Then, would you really want to trust them?"

"Only me, only I'm different, only someone who shares your heart and soul like me, deserves your trust."

Shortly after Zhang Yu finished his conversation with Zhang Pianpian, his chief Soul Cultivator Zhao Tianxing sent a new message.

Zhao Tianxing: Taoist Lord, many cultivators from the Netherworld Property Department have had their information made public...

With a quick glance, Zhang Yu snorted coldly, thinking to himself: "Opening the Pandora's box?"

Apart from him, information and contact details of others from the Lower Realm, including Yu Xinghan, Magnetic Pole, Old Gao, Ye Xingli, Feng Tingting, Zhao Tianxing... all were made public.

Zhan Xian stated: "This is a threat to us, akin to opening a scope, aiming at all our companions but not firing, just watching."

Fu Ji thought inwardly: "This is essentially telling Zhang Yu that if he decides to confront them, all his subordinates will be targeted, and any of them could be sacrificed."

"For other Kunxu Cultivators, it might be a joke, but for Zhang Yu..."

Fu Ji observed Zhang Yu's current state and continued to ponder: "This is truly a threat, although the former Zhang Yu might have retreated."

Meanwhile, more information flowed to Zhang Yu.

"Director, Mo Enting, Su YanYang, they've been harassed, and more people are targeting our Lower Realm Cultivators..."

"Director, Feng Tingting's livestream has been blocked again..."

"Director, there's been an accident at the construction site in the development area..."

Yu Xinghan soon found Zhang Yu, asking: "Taoist Lord, what do we do next?"

Zhang Yu did not answer but suddenly asked: "Xinghan, which layer do you think I should choose?"

Yu Xinghan hesitated slightly, replying: "I don't know, I trust you. No matter which layer you choose, I will support it."

Zhang Yu turned and asked: "But the higher we go, the higher the risks. It's not just me; your risks also increase."

Yu Xinghan chuckled, patted Zhang Yu's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Zhang Yu, since we climbed from the first layer, when have we not taken risks? As long as there's enough benefit, we're not afraid to take risks; we only fear not having the opportunity."

Zhao Tianxing suddenly said: "Taoist Lord, we trust you; you won't let us risk in vain."

Also having climbed from the first layer under Zhang Yu's leadership, the long-time Soul Cultivator Mo Tianyi spoke: "Taoist Lord, you gave us the opportunity to take risks. If gambling our lives means climbing higher, who wouldn't gamble?"

As streams of information converged, Zhan Xian remarked: "Striving upwards has long been the instinct of the billions in Kunxu."

"They never fear danger or hardship; they only fear not having a chance and worry about not receiving rewards."

"Heart towards Immortal Dao... though it has brought endless greed to the beings, it has also given them unparalleled courage."

Simultaneously, a communication request appeared before Zhang Yu, notably from Ban Jincheng.

With Zhang Yu's consent, the other party's projection plummeted down.

"Lord Zhang," Ban Jincheng said coolly, "I have plenty of avatars left. Bu Yingshu cannot protect you forever. You should know how terrifying the forces behind us are."
