Chapter 1250 - 815: Immortal Path Connections—All for Profit, Work Injury Curse (10/10)
After losing the sense of the ancestral corpse, Zhang Yu’s first thought was that someone had stolen the ancestral corpse, thus cutting off his connection.
But Zhang Yu quickly realized that this guess might be wrong.
For Zhang Yu, who possesses a Level 4 [Immortal Descendant], the entire factory district, although constantly changing, was all observed by him as if looking at a real-time map.
He could even sense the positions of numerous cultivators entering the factory district on this real-time map.
"Since I entered the factory district, I’ve been able to sense all of this."
Zhang Yu recalled what he had just seen as he stepped into the factory district, aware that from the very beginning... he had a tremendous advantage in exploring the factory district.
"I’ve already managed to open up so much, is there anyone who can get ahead of me?"
"Could it be a descendant of Yingxin Heaven’s bloodline?"
Upon hearing Zhang Yu’s fleeting guess, Zhan Xian said, "The bloodline descendants of the master are almost all considering themselves to belong to the Taizhen Immortal Clan, with ideas far from the master’s, and none of them could satisfy him. The master would not likely facilitate anything for his bloodline descendants within the Maze Realm."
"Otherwise, he wouldn’t allow his descendants to be reckoned with."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly at these words, feeling that he could understand Yingxin Heaven.
He sighed inwardly, "His wife put at least nine green hats on him, children and other siblings of the same mother but different fathers were as close as family, their values were in stark contrast with his, unable to understand him, and even becoming his obstruction... If I were Yingxin Heaven, I might not have been able to bear it for so long."
Listening to Zhang Yu’s sigh, if it were in the past, Fu Ji would have criticized Zhang Yu for such thoughts, but now she did not refute and silently took note in her heart.
"Zhang Yu is extremely conservative regarding Dual Cultivation, not accepting his Dual Cultivation partner doing so with others and bearing offspring."
Fu Ji understood that knowing a leader’s preferences is important information, so-called what pleases above, below will overly adhere.
At this moment through a glimpse, she could even foresee that Zhang Yu’s future factions might be full of such extreme conservatism, spoiling a large piece of Kunxu’s customs.
"However... if Zhang Yu truly reaches the top, then his customs will be deemed good customs, and the previous customs of Dual Cultivation would be considered heretical and wicked winds."
Meanwhile, a few distracting thoughts flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind, but he continued to think about the current situation.
He recalled the process of stepping onto the Grotto Heaven Bridge: "After being transported from the Grotto Heaven Bridge to the factory district, I was deeper into the factory district than those cultivators entering from the factory district entrance."
"My starting point was different from theirs, and throughout the factory district, no one was closer to the ancestral corpse than me. Upon entering, I’ve been rushing towards the ancestral corpse using the optimal route."
Although there were many attempts regarding the Cave Heaven Divine Beast or the Cave Heaven Production Line, given Zhang Yu’s current cultivation, speed, and 32-layered avatars, it didn’t take much time at all.
For example, he could subdue frenzied corpse items along the way by just waving his hand to distort space and collect them into the Immortal Cave Heaven, without delaying his journey.
"Unless there was a cultivator who could detect the location of the ancestral corpse immediately upon entering the factory district, understand the spatial changes, and move faster than I do to reach the ancestral corpse, only then could they get ahead of me..."
"But so far, as the one with full-map authority, I haven’t found such a person."
"So..." Zhang Yu’s heart stirred, recalling the actions of the previous ancestral corpse.
"Instead of someone taking it before me, the ancestral corpse might have had some kind of motion itself?"
As Zhang Yu thought quickly, he continued his rapid advance, transforming into a gust of wind sweeping forward, occasionally operating "Kunlun in the Palm" paired with [Immortal Descendant] to collect a frenzied corpse item into the Immortal Cave Heaven, still moving forward with lightning speed without slowing down in the slightest.
And once the corpse item entered the Immortal Cave Heaven, it was besieged by the production lines led by the Hundred Corpses Melting Master, along with Zhang Yu’s avatars for suppression.
Zhang Yu pondered, "Could this factory district’s ancestral corpse... have hidden itself?"
Unable to determine, he planned to go personally to the location where the ancestral corpse disappeared to see exactly what was happening.
Upon arriving at the target location, Zhang Yu discovered it was actually a corpse recovery station.
A large number of corpses were piled together haphazardly, like wet garbage, emitting a stench that rose to the sky.
Zhang Yu could imagine, with various facilities broken within the Maze Realm, severing the connection to the Spirit Realm and stopping operations, this corpse recovery station stopped as well, and the corpses, delayed in processing, began to deteriorate and decay, hence producing the overwhelming stench.
While Zhang Yu was puzzled as to why the ancestral corpse would disappear here, he once again sensed the presence of the ancestral corpse.
"Right here."
Although the sensation was fleeting, Zhang Yu could clearly sense that the ancestral corpse was in the corpse recovery station right before him.
"Indeed... deliberately hidden, drawing me here?"
Entering the door of the corpse recovery station, Zhang Yu saw the sign inside engraved with the three characters "Comforting Spirit Garden."
Zhang Yu was slightly puzzled: "It looks like a cemetery’s name?"
