Chapter 1687: Chapter 944_3

For Snake Desire Venerable, being among the top three sects in the Wanfa Sect allowed him to leverage the environment for cultivation, gaining more Immortal Dao Potential.

Once the future situation changes, he plans to switch to the Sky Demon Sect, becoming a Human Upper Demon, and continue to gain superior Immortal Dao Resources.

Anyway, with the support of the Taizhen Immortal Clan, his “Dual Cultivation Duty” is useful no matter which sect he decides to join.

And unknowingly, Snake Desire Venerable suddenly realized that the situation is about to undergo a significant change.

“Taizhen Immortal Venerable’s previous retreat was indeed just a form of patience, accumulating strength for a counterattack.”

“This time, with the assistance of the Sky Demon Sect, if the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor also intervenes… I’m afraid even the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor will have to bow.”

Snake Desire Venerable understands… Although the top-level struggle has not truly begun, the undercurrents are already surging. What follows will be enough to affect the entire world, even the struggle between him and Zhang Yu is just a small aspect of this great war. At this moment, he is unaware of how many open and secret conflicts have already been triggered by the movements of the Upper Cultivators.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. The next moment, Snake Desire Venerable refocused on the current situation, shifting his gaze back to the game between himself and Zhang Yu.

Regardless of whether it is at the instructions of Taizhen Immortal Venerable or out of consideration for his own interests, Snake Desire Venerable wants to do his best to delay Zhang Yu’s Law Freeze.

“My ‘Dual Cultivation Duty’ has always received support from various factions within the sect, even Zhang Yu himself is a dual cultivation expert. As long as there’s this level of support, Zhang Yu is bound to put me last for freezing.”

Only then did Snake Desire Venerable analyze, “Therefore, I have enough leeway to wait for Zhang Yu’s ‘Effective Period of Laws’ to develop, wait for him to make enough mistakes, and then deal with him.”

As he spoke, he saw his thoughts unfold, a series of data and intelligence already appearing before him.

“In just the past two weeks, there have been many corporate interests damaged, and quite a few cultivators have opposed the Law Freeze.”

“Hehe, lower cultivators have shallow foresight, they only see immediate interests. How could they understand that after adapting to many years, all industries have become accustomed to the ‘Four Hour Workday’ and ‘Paid Overtime’, thus generating various supporting equipment and services. It can’t be changed just like that.”

Snake Desire Venerable resolutely said, “Zhang Yu’s rough approach will certainly have issues. We need to expand on his problems.”

Zhu Yan nodded slightly, seeming to agree, and then asked, “How do you plan to do that?”

Snake Desire Venerable smiled slightly, and before him appeared familiar faces that would be recognizable to Zhang Yu: “Doesn’t he love to bring the paupers below up?”

“Just right, then I’ll ‘send’ up his friends below to ‘help’ him well…”

Upon hearing Snake Desire Venerable’s plan, Zhu Yan faintly swayed his tusks: “Is there anything else you need my help with?”

Snake Desire Venerable lightly flicked his fingertips, a light screen appearing, displaying a series of pairings.

Seeing this, Zhu Yan asked, “Kun Yi?”

What is Kun Yi?

If anyone were to ask Snake Desire Venerable this question, he would tell them, “In ancient times there were conscripts and soldiers, so what do you think Kun Yi… this task of comparison is?”

As a detailed specification supporting the “Dual Cultivation Duty” law, Snake Desire Venerable can designate cultivators within the sect for dual cultivation pairing, followed by Kun Yi.

Yet seeing Zhang Yu and Gao Chongguang matched before him, Snake Desire Venerable shook his head: “What use is this? For someone like Zhang Yu, a social expert, cultivating with his teacher is likely as simple as breathing, while same-sex dual cultivation is as relaxed as eating and taking medicine.”

Zhu Yan nodded his head: “So… you need him matched with someone else?”

“Indeed,” Snake Desire Venerable said, “Although I can initiate Kun Yi and apply for a match, you know… the specific matching process is not under my control.”

Zhu Yan certainly knew, much like Zhang Yu who controls the Effective Period of Laws but cannot decide which law to freeze or approve in the sect.

The vast majority of Void Refining Cultivators inevitably surrender the final control over their law to the higher-ups, otherwise, the content of the law would not pass.

For Snake Desire Venerable’s “Dual Cultivation Duty,” the specific annual duty amount and Kun Yi’s matching target… the decision does not lie in his hands.

Snake Desire Venerable said, “I hope you can exert some influence, subtly modify this matching result.”

Zhu Yan understood that the other person referred not only to his own influence as a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator but also to the lingering influence from the Taizhen Immortal Venerable within Wanfa Sect.

Even though Taizhen Immortal Venerable has been greatly impacted due to the Yingxin Heaven, as the first hero of the Great War of Righteous and Demonic and an elder in Wanfa Sect, Zhu Yan knows this Immortal Venerable’s potential influence within Wanfa Sect remains substantial.

Just consider the immortals within Wanfa Sect, how many haven’t received Taizhen Immortal Venerable’s money or guidance, or tasted Taizhen Immortal Venerable’s blood and flesh… these are all debts owed to the Immortal Venerable and must be repaid.

Zhu Yan nodded, asking, “Who do you hope he gets matched with?”

Snake Desire Venerable smiled slightly and said, “Naturally, someone Zhang Yu least wants as a dual cultivation target, a trump card that can hinder his Law Freeze.”

…

Meanwhile, within the Four Seasons Small Realm.

“The law has already expanded in most of the Small Realm, it’s time to extend further outward.”

Zhang Yu looked at the feedback from the Law Realm and Spirit Realm; thanks to the disdain many cultivators have for the two laws and continuous promotion over the past two weeks, he can see the cultivators in various Small Realms on the 16th layer are eagerly anticipating his laws to arrive, to freeze the ‘Four Hour Workday’ and ‘Paid Overtime’ one by one.
