You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 882 - 710: Dual Masters Bestowing Power
Chapter 882 -710: Dual Masters Bestowing Power
“Master…”
Facing the Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch and Qingmu Divine Monarch, Zhang Yu found himself momentarily at a loss for words.
Magnetic Pole turned to Qingmu and said, “Old Gao, I want to have a few words alone with Zhang Yu.”
Qingmu Divine Monarch nodded, and in the next instant, with a flash of light, he vanished from their sight.
Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch then turned to Zhang Yu and sighed, “To be honest, when I first saw you coming to ask me to be your master, I never thought I would accept a disciple like you.”
Zhang Yu was slightly surprised, recalling the indifferent attitude Magnetic Pole had during their first conversation.
Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch continued, “At that time, in my eyes, you were just someone trying to take shortcuts, trying to cling to the Artifact Refining Department from the Civil Engineering Department.”
“I’ve seen too many such people over the years, because that’s just how this world is. As long as one can climb on the Immortal Path, there’s nothing that can’t be abandoned, even former morals and beliefs have been thoroughly distorted.”
“After all, here in Kunxu, money is everything, and the Immortal Path is the essence of a person’s existence. No matter how bloody, despicable, or dirty the process of making money, the result is respect, admiration, and praise from everyone.”
“Whether it’s people from the sect above, or the former school principals, or beings like me who underwent Divinity Transformation, are all like this, a bunch of people who resort to any means for wealth and asset inflation.”
“I hated you then, perhaps because I saw a reflection of my former self in you?”
Looking at the Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch who sighed in front of him, Zhang Yu said, “Master, truly, you don’t like doing things this way, do you?”
“You’re different from the former principals because you trust Teacher Gao and me, fight alongside us, never sold us out for spirit coins, and never monopolized my technological achievements…”
Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch smiled helplessly, “That’s my failure. I wanted to climb to the peak of the Immortal Path, abandoning dignity, morality, and former beliefs, yet ultimately couldn’t let go of everything.”
“Even though I had exceptional talent and once had the opportunity to ascend, I couldn’t remain in the sect in the end.”
“Even if I poured my heart into it, without this great change, I couldn’t become the principal of Wanfa.”
With that, Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch looked up at the fourth layer and fifth layer of Kunxu in the sky and continued, “Perhaps I just don’t have a true heart towards the Dao.”
Zhang Yu looked at the back of the Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch and said, “Only the strong can follow their true intentions. If not impossible, who in this world wouldn’t want to fulfill their own ideas? Who would willingly change their choices?”
“Master… You can make the choices you make today precisely because of your strength, not just in power, but in mind and character.”
“Perhaps because of this, you can trust Teacher Gao and me, and we, Teacher Gao and I, can trust you, too.”
Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch smiled again and turned to look at Zhang Yu, “I had decided I wouldn’t accept a disciple like you in Kunxu. I only wanted to focus solely on climbing the Immortal Path to reach the peak I could achieve in this life.”
“But fate is so peculiar, it always finds unexpected ways to toy with people.”
“In this place least likely to speak of human sentiments, Kunxu, I thought of the bond between master and disciple.”
“Yet, Zhang Yu, you’re right. Ultimately, it’s my own choice. My strength brought me to this position today, also made me choose like this…”
Speaking, Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch reached out a finger and gently touched Zhang Yu’s forehead.
In the next moment, Zhang Yu saw a flood of data appearing in his Eye Remains as Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch sent over various information.
Bank accounts, magic treasure permissions, artifact spirit contacts… countless information for conferences, communications, and exchanges on space technology with Zhang Yu, and also Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch’s personal credentials.
Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch said, “This battle might cut off the internet, might lose contact, might prevent me from keeping an eye on things at Wanfa.”
“So the assets I have at Wanfa, you will manage them for now.”
“And here are the proofs I leave you; with these, you can prove the space technologies presented in past conferences were created by you.”
Zhang Yu’s eyes sharpened, “Master, aren’t you taking these for the decisive battle?”
After transmitting all the information, Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch lightly flicked the finger on Zhang Yu’s forehead and laughed, “The things I can take to battle are all prepared and ready to go, leaving mere scraps to you, no need for you to worry about me.”
With that, Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch had already called Qingmu Divine Monarch back, saying, “You have something to say to him too, don’t you? You two talk, I’ll be off first.”
As Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch disappeared, Qingmu Divine Monarch looked at Zhang Yu and sighed, “Without realizing, you’re already a second-year research student.”
“Who would have thought you, once inconspicuous on the construction site, would become the strongest undergraduate, now a key figure in advancing space technology.”
Saying this, Qingmu Divine Monarch looked towards the direction of the construction site and continued, “All these years, I’ve worked day and night in the Civil Engineering Department, watching generations of teachers and students pour their heart and soul, using their lives to achieve layer upon layer of elevation for University City.”
“I watched the Civil Engineering Department, which laid down solid foundations for the school, sink to the bottom, becoming nourishment for the Finance Department, becoming a subordinate to the Artifact Refining Department…but this is the trend of Kunxu, I can only follow it.”
“Because I am too weak, weak like me, can only follow the trend of Kunxu…”
Zhang Yu said, “Teacher, I…don’t think you’re weak.”
He looked earnestly at the Qingmu Divine Monarch before him and said, “Without your guidance and trust, I wouldn’t have reached my current position, nor would I have been able to have such an impact on today’s battle, on the ten major universities.”
“Teacher, it was your influence on me that enabled me to affect the ten major universities.”
“Being in Wanfa, being in the Civil Engineering Department, always retaining a shred of trust in students, retaining trust in me and in Magnetic Pole Teacher…Teacher Gao, I’ve always thought you were strong, I’ve always admired you.”
Looking at the Qingmu Divine Monarch in front of him, Zhang Yu recalled his Immortal Path journey, remembered Yu Shu, the Chain Technique Map, the Dao Seed Spectrum… Without these, would he have been able to rise to his current status? Would he have had the capacity to preserve some thoughts in his heart?
Zhang Yu had no confidence at all.
So looking at the Qingmu Divine Monarch before him, Zhang Yu did not feel the other was weak at all, because even if it was just a small part…the other had already accomplished things that countless cultivators of Kunxu could not.
Feeling the serious gaze of Zhang Yu, Qingmu Divine Monarch chuckled lightly and said, “Am I very strong? Even after I advanced to Divinity Transformation, many people still don’t see it that way…”
Zhang Yu said, “Because they know you wouldn’t abuse your power, know that even if you’re wealthy, even if you’re strong, you wouldn’t use those bloody, dirty means to deal with others.”
“And in Kunxu, such conduct isn’t respected by people; instead, it’s ridiculed, it’s looked down upon.”
Memories flashed through the eyes of Qingmu Divine Monarch; he shook his head and said, “Zhang Yu, you truly are unlike others. It’s hard to imagine a student your age saying such things.”
“In other schools, under other teachers, saying such things would get you branded an idiot, someone without Immortal Path potential, wouldn’t it?”
“But I like what you’ve said, even though I know saying these things in today’s world is wrong, I still like it.”
“Perhaps that’s why I can trust you, and you can trust me?”
Qingmu Divine Monarch patted Zhang Yu’s head, and the next moment, a surge of ‘power’ was already flowing to Zhang Yu, continuously from Qingmu Divine Monarch’s body to Zhang Yu’s body.
Just like an ancient strong man transferring power with a head pat, only now it’s not power being transferred to Zhang Yu, but various documents.
Equity transfer, shareholder voting rights transfer… These documents can also be considered a real form of ‘power’ in today’s Kunxu, endlessly flowing into Zhang Yu’s body.
Especially since the involved equity is related to Taixu Cloud Collection’s companies, it represents the strongest force among the ten schools today.
“Teacher!” Zhang Yu exclaimed at this scene, “Why give all of these to me?”
Qingmu Divine Monarch laughed and said, “Zhang Yu, you should understand, in this battle with the Righteous Alliance, neither side will rest until victory.”
“During this battle, neither I nor Magnetic Pole can regularly attend to Wanfa, focus on the details within the research association, nor focus on Taixu Cloud Collection’s company.”
“But you can, and these things should belong to you anyway, I’m merely returning them to you now.”
As he spoke, Qingmu Divine Monarch stopped Zhang Yu from speaking, then continued, saying, “Zhang Yu, aside from the strength and fighting spirit of us Divinity Transformation individuals, the key to this decisive battle is our mastery and application of space technology.”
“And you are the key to all of this.”
“Remaining in the rear, mastering everything about Taixu Cloud Collection, continuing the development of space technology, producing more related magic treasures, is the best way to support us.”
Zhang Yu knew the other was right; using Immortal Path technology to intervene in the battle, influence the fight among Divinity Transformation individuals, is precisely what he should be doing now.
So Zhang Yu nodded and said, “I understand, Teacher.”
Qingmu Divine Monarch said, “Zhang Yu, I have high hopes for you; the future version of you will surely become someone even I will look up to.”
“So during the time we’re away, promise me… that you’ll cultivate well, use everything you have to improve yourself.”
Zhang Yu nodded deeply and earnestly said, “Teacher, I will work desperately to improve myself, and I will assist in this battle of yours.”
Qingmu Divine Monarch smiled lightly, and the next moment had already summoned Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch.
Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch reached out, grabbed Zhang Yu’s hand, and ascended to the top of the Great Void.
Only to hear Magnetic Pole Divine Monarch burst into laughter, soaring into the sky, saying, “Let’s go Zhang Yu, see us off on our journey.”
