Chapter 1652 - 933: Kunxu’s True Form, Law Chain Origins

"I can’t let Yu think I’ve been away for half a day and still found nothing, can I?"

So Bu Yingshu responded directly, "I asked around a bit, and it seems it’s in a small realm on the 16th floor..."

After reporting the address, Bu Yingshu continued, "Yu, don’t worry yet, I’m in touch with them, asking them to do me a favor and release Le Mulan for you..."

Zhang Yu didn’t pay attention to the rest of Bu Yingshu’s words.

He knew that given the interests now associated with Le Mulan, Bu Yingshu’s connections alone wouldn’t solve the issue.

Zhang Yu glanced at the address sent by the other party, thinking, "It matches the location provided by the Reincarnation Group."

With Bu Yingshu providing the address, Zhang Yu had no need for any more excuses, and his figure flashed as he sped toward the direction of the 16th-floor laboratory.

As the height rapidly increased, Zhang Yu passed through layers of surveillance barriers, countless strands of divine power swept across his body, only retracting after confirming his identity.

In a blink, he arrived at Kunxu’s 16th floor.

Along this ascent, Zhang Yu could feel the environment undergoing drastic changes with each increase in level.

"The concentration of Immortal Qi has reached 7%, the immortalization level of the Refining Void Primordial Spirit... enhancement efficiency has doubled."

"Under the Sun and Moon Radiance of the 16th floor, basic thinking speed has increased fivefold, truly the higher the rank, the more time one has."

Simultaneously, Zhang Yu saw advertisements from the Law Realm flash before his eyes, and he sighed inwardly, "Traffic fees, computing power, spiritual mechanism are all cheaper, indeed, the higher one climbs, the better the basic cultivation conditions."

Zhang Yu could also sense an anomaly in the spatial structure of the 16th floor, it was filled with more artificial traces.

Zhan Xian explained, "The entire 16th floor’s space is highly manipulable, every Void Refining Cultivator can carve out space here, purchasing their own cave mansion or small realm at an affordable price."

"It’s not uncommon for seasoned Void Refining Cultivators to possess small realms as large as cities here."

At this point, Zhan Xian sighed, "Kunxu... appears to be a pyramid, with each level having narrower space, but this is just the public space."

"If you include private space, the higher cultivators can control even more private realms, wielding control over vast areas unimaginable to lower cultivators."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, recalling that after being appointed Minister of the Practical Review Department, he was also granted a cave mansion on the 16th floor, which he hadn’t found time to visit yet.

"So..." Zhang Yu said, "Kunxu was originally supposed to be an inverted pyramid? With the higher levels having more space?"

"But because the upper cultivators crazily excavated the public space, converting much of it into private space, it now appears as an upright pyramid?"

At this, Zhang Yu chuckled wryly.

"These fellows, when layering the world and building Kunxu, intended to occupy more and more above. But even after layering, it wasn’t enough for them, so they continued to annex space, continuously seizing and merging it, resulting in the remaining public space appearing smaller at the top..."

With those words, Zhang Yu’s figure shot out like lightning, arriving moments later at the gate of a small realm.

The small realm before him, named Hengsheng Cave Heaven, was the experimental zone where Wanfa Sect’s pharmaceutical companies specialized in researching life extension techniques.

Looking at the gate of this Grotto Heaven, Zhang Yu thought, "Behind the pharmaceutical companies stands the Life Origin Daoist. For this Daoist lineage..."

In Kunxu, who is the biggest competitor for the Life Origin Daoist that dominates vast medical and pharmaceutical interest groups aimed at curing and saving lives?

Death? No, precisely because of death’s existence, curing and saving lives hold more value.

"For the Life Origin Daoist, the biggest competitors are likely the Soul Cultivator and Reincarnation."

"It’s precisely the existence of Soul Cultivator and Reincarnation that makes death less frightening, diminishing medical value."

"And the Level 5 Deep Cold Magical Vein represents a new possibility for the Life Origin Daoist."

"A possibility to infiltrate the Soul Cultivation Market, providing soul cultivators with longevity medicine on a large scale. A chance to seize Reincarnation’s profits, compressing the Reincarnation market."

"So for the Life Origin Daoist, for the pharmaceutical companies... their aim is inevitably to secretly research Le Mulan and won’t easily let go until they achieve results."

As these thoughts flashed lightning-fast through Zhang Yu’s mind, Yue Qinglan’s projection appeared before him.

Evidently, Zhang Yu’s unshielded arrival directly caught Hengsheng Cave Heaven’s attention.

Yue Qinglan exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Zhang? Why are you here? Is something the matter?"

Zhang Yu responded coolly, "Bu Yingshu told me that Le Mulan is here, I want to see her."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qinglan was immediately annoyed, "That Bu Yingshu... why did she tell Zhang Yu this?"

"And the fact she just chatted me up suddenly, was that all just to gather intel for Zhang Yu?"

Yue Qinglan thought, "What is Bu Yingshu up to? After the legislation concluded, didn’t she already stand against Zhang Yu? Truly unreliable, her bad reputation is indeed justified..."

Though her mind raced with thoughts, Yue Qinglan maintained a composed demeanor, neither denying what Zhang Yu said.

After all, before Le Mulan demonstrated her soul cultivation longevity ability, the process of transferring her to Hengsheng Cave Heaven wasn’t too secretive, Yue Qinglan knew that if Zhang Yu really wanted to investigate, she couldn’t keep it from him.
