Chapter 1223: Chapter 808: Killed Instantly?

Sure, here is the translated text:

"Is it about receiving people from the Sky Demon Sect?"

In the dormitory, Zhang Yu’s clone frowned slightly.

Although he didn’t want to take on this troublesome task, Qin Chuan, as the head of the Ghost Faith Department, was his superior after all. Since the task was pressed upon him, Zhang Yu found it hard to refuse completely.

"But speaking of the clone, while it’s fine hiding in the dormitory to cultivate, facing strong cultivators... it might expose some weaknesses."

Thinking about it, Zhang Yu decided it would be better for his real self to return this time to personally host the so-called guests from the Sky Demon Sect.

...

Not long ago.

Within the Maze Realm of the Old Graveyard.

Zhang Yu, transformed into a breeze, swiftly moved through twisted office buildings.

According to Zhang Yu’s understanding, although the entire Maze Realm of the Old Graveyard had a chaotic spatial structure, it could roughly be divided into three areas based on the original layout: office area, factory area, and laboratory area.

Zhang Yu was currently in the office area, which consisted mainly of office buildings and commercial facilities, with few factories and laboratories.

The office area was also the outermost part of the Maze Realm; only by delving further could one reach the so-called factory and laboratory areas.

"Still, the valuable items found in office buildings are too few."

Zhang Yu looked toward the distance and saw the factory buildings haphazardly pieced together in the chaotic space. He thought to himself, "In the factory area, which is the manufacturing center of the Old Graveyard, I should be able to find more and more valuable goods."

"And within the deeper laboratory area, there are even more valuable things, some items that the sects value highly."

"If only I could find the Immortal Sect level technology data or products from the Sky Demon Sect, Netherworld Palace, or White Bone Sect..."

Over the past half month, while Zhang Yu personally explored outside the Maze Realm, his clone also browsed various intelligence about the Maze Realm and Old Graveyard through the information held by the Ghost Faith Department.

Zhang Yu knew that compared to the Wanfa Sect, the Sky Demon, Netherworld, and White Bone had always invested more resources in the Old Graveyard in the past and present. They invested huge amounts of Immortal Coin in the former laboratory area, conducting research on corpse items and souls.

In these two areas of research, Wanfa Sect had consistently lagged behind them.

"Thus, instructions were given to the Ghost Faith Department, emphasizing the collection of materials lost by other sects in the Maze Realm."

"Especially the Immortal Sect level technical data within the laboratory area; collecting them would mean a great achievement."

Zhang Yu’s clone flipped through internal data, sighing as he looked, "At first, many were attracted to delve into the Maze Realm. Even the Ghost Faith Department’s head, Qin Chuan, led an exploration into the office area on the outskirts of the Maze Realm."

"But after repeated failures and continuous losses, the Ghost Faith Department gradually abandoned proactive exploration of the Maze Realm."

"If I could enter the laboratory area..."

After the "Immortal Descendant" was upgraded to Level 3, its sensing abilities appeared to have improved.

Previously, Zhang Yu could only vaguely sense that the Maze Realm concealed the Cave Heaven Power that the "Immortal Descendant" needed to inherit.

But now... Zhang Yu was able to more clearly sense that there were at least three forces of Cave Heaven Power lurking within the Maze Realm, prompting the "Immortal Descendant" to eagerly seek their liberation.

Among them, one force was pure and strong, the most powerful and deeply hidden. Zhang Yu could feel its direction in the deepest laboratory area of the Maze Realm.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Entering the laboratory area, liberating the hidden Cave Heaven Power of Yingxin Heaven, improving the level of ’Immortal Descendant’, and if I can find truly valuable items within the laboratory area, it can count as an achievement too."

Fu Ji said, "Achievements are great. The two key factors for promotion are achievements and background, both indispensable."

"And speaking of background, Zhang Yu, you’ve now appeased Bu Yingshu. But achievements are lacking; the Ghost Faith Department has too little business and no good channels for acquiring achievements."

"If in the laboratory area you find technical data from other sects, especially advanced and cutting-edge Immortal Dao technology in corpse and soul research... that would definitely be a great achievement for Wanfa Sect."

"Then you can further curry favor with Bu Yingshu, and wouldn’t that mean jumping out of this hellhole of the Ghost Faith Department?"

Fu Ji’s words deeply resonated with Zhang Yu.

To go to the laboratory area, one must first head to the factory area.

But on the way to the factory area, Zhang Yu discovered something strange.

The road ahead led from the office area to the factory area.

The road, twisted into a knot due to the chaotic space, had transformed into a straight path in Zhang Yu’s eyes as he activated the power of "Immortal Descendant."

Yet as Zhang Yu proceeded, he found the road ahead seemed like an endless path.

Whether he transformed into a gale to sprint forward, or churned his blood and flesh, rushing out with waves of air... no matter how he accelerated, the distant factory area was like a mirage, perpetually out of reach.

"There’s something strange going on."

Zhang Yu also tried using "Kunlun in the Palm" to distort space, hoping to improve the situation, but it was to no avail.

Zhan Xian reminded, "This is probably a method left by the ancestors, specifically to seal off the factory and laboratory areas, preventing others from easily approaching."
