Chapter 1633 - 928: Unyielding Resolve

When Ban Jincheng and Si Shian saw the message from the Vajra Sect, they understood that the situation would undergo a dramatic change.

"For one sect to regulate the Law Chain, compared to both Wanfa and Vajra regulating it, that is a completely different scenario."

Ban Jincheng cursed silently, "With this news out, I’m afraid the remaining sects will have no choice but to step in and join the malicious competition over the ’Law Chain regulation.’"

At this moment, Ban Jincheng deeply realized... the new era of the Law Chain had arrived with unstoppable force, sweeping forward to eventually engulf all of Kunxu.

And in the hurricane of this era’s change, he would be among the first group of elders from the old era to face a crisis.

"What should we do?"

Beside him, Si Shian’s mana whirled rapidly, calculative pools crossed the Law Realm and Spirit Realm, providing him with immense computational power, even maxing out his monthly expenditure of over a hundred thousand Immortal Coins on the Heavenly Question Star.

But even with all resources mobilized, countless documents reviewed, and with his mind pushed to the limit, he still couldn’t think of a solution to this problem.

Ban Jincheng said, "Even though it’s an unstoppable trend, though we are helpless, even if it’s the Immortal Emperor, even if it’s the era... to crush us, to make us bankrupt and break our Immortal Road, they should not expect us to surrender!"

Si Shian nodded slightly, knowing in his heart that what the other said was right.

And so what if it’s the Immortal Emperor? When paying wages, giving benefits, providing an upward path, I call you Immortal Emperor.

But if you want to sever my Immortal Road, seize my property, then you are nothing but a tyrant!

Can mere sect nature be greater than the Heart towards Immortal Dao that has long turned into heavenly principles, influencing all living beings?

At this moment, Si Shian had also made up his mind, "Keep holding on, there might still be a variable!"

Ban Jincheng said, "Yes, hold on! The other sects might not necessarily have the same thought and immediately join the competition, they might unite and continue to pressure and resist Wanfa and Vajra."

Ban Jincheng and Si Shian certainly knew that compared to embracing the change and actively joining the competition... this possibility was slim; the other sects continuing to unite in resistance was unlikely.

Yet at this moment, they could only hope for this.

If possible, Ban Jincheng and Si Shian even hoped that the Ten Great Sects would start fighting, directly engage in a massive Kunxu battle and temporarily set aside the "Law Chain regulation" issue.

Ban Jincheng internally thought, "Give up... and surely lose, at least holding on still holds a sliver of hope."

Just at this moment, his subordinate Soul Cultivators reported to them, "Taoist Lord, a large number of internet mobs have invaded our comment section! They’re spreading news about the Vajra Sect everywhere."

Ban Jincheng swept his will over it and saw the repeated comments in the comment section, "The Law Chain regulator of the Vajra Sect has appeared; didn’t you say the Outer Sects wouldn’t regulate the Law Chain?"

"Where’s the outer sect’s tacit understanding you mentioned? How much did you take from sect-external forces? How are you speaking for them?"

"You beast! I listened to you and bought your stocks!"

Ban Jincheng snorted coldly and said, "Curate the comment section, don’t allow any negative comments to show."

With the news of the Vajra Sect spreading, the public opinion within the Wanfa Sect quickly reversed.

"Lord Zhang is indeed far-sighted, he saw the danger of Outer Sects regulating the Law Chain long ago."

"Where are Ban Jincheng and Si Shian? Are they pretending to be dead? Quickly come out and apologize to Lord Zhang!"

"Thoroughly investigate Ban Jincheng and Si Shian! Freeze ’Paid Overtime’! Freeze ’Four-hour Work’!"

In just a few days, Ban Jincheng and Si Shian felt besieged on all sides, not only facing attacks in public opinion, but the Thought Wave Amplification of their Law Chain was also severely affected.

"These damn lackeys..." Ban Jincheng gritted his teeth, originally many cultivators, though dissatisfied with his ’Paid Overtime,’ somewhat accepted it due to the sect’s banner and sect nature.

But this time, with the sudden emergence of the Law Chain’s Effective Period, and following Zhang Yu’s speech, it had already incited countless cultivators’ dissatisfaction with many existing laws, coupled with the Vajra Sect’s news, forming a major trend...

"They are seizing this opportunity to kick me while I’m down, aiming to attack my Law Chain."

Ban Jincheng felt the severe drop in Thought Wave Amplification, the accelerated contraction of the True Domain, subsequently leading to a continuous decline in the enforcement scope and quantity within the True Domain, significantly harming his interests in all aspects.

Especially the skyrocketing fall of the stocks of his companies, he could even sense that many of his former allies and supporters were following suit, shorting his company’s stock.

Feeling his assets continuously shrink and his cultivation consequently decline, Ban Jincheng could only repeatedly tell himself, "Hold on..."

Yet while Ban Jincheng and Si Shian were desperately maintaining their stance, a file released by the Ascension Hall struck them like a massive mountain, pounding heavily on their chests.

...

"Regulations on the Phased Implementation of Effective Periods and Calculation Application of Various Law Chains," abbreviated as "Regulations on Law Chain Effectiveness."

After Fa Liuyuan finished reading the detailed content of this file, he sighed inwardly, "The Immortal Emperor... has finally made a move."

In Fa Liuyuan’s view, after a series of struggles and tensions among various forces, the Immortal Emperor finally intervened, and this intervention was decisive.

"During this period, the connectivity between the upper and lower Law Realms has steadily progressed, the Soul Cultivators from the Lower Realm are gradually being brought up, and more resources from the Lower Realm are being opened, this is the Immortal Emperor making concessions."

"In addition to..."

Fa Liuyuan looked at the "Regulations on Law Chain Effectiveness" in front of him, the contents of this file were simple, classifying the existing Law Chains within the Wanfa Sect.
