Chapter 1499 - 888:

Why did Zhang Yu lure the opponent all the way and finally seal them within the Yang Artifact?

It was naturally because the Yang Artifact in his hand was low in nature and weak in power, allowing the Refining Void Soul Cultivator to transfer into it, thus minimizing the opponent’s threat.

However, when Zhang Yu saw Tai Chenggong able to condense the Yin, he realized that this state of his opponent was easier to control.

So just as Tai Chenggong retreated back into the Yang Artifact, accompanied by a shattering sound of Zhang Yu’s Yang Artifact, Tai Chenggong was already captured out.

At the same time, two thousand Divinity Transformation-level forces had surrounded and locked onto Tai Chenggong, seeming to be able to tear him apart completely in the next instant, annihilating both body and soul.

Tai Chenggong smiled bitterly in his heart, never expecting that as a Refining Void Realm Soul Cultivator, infiltrating a mere Divinity Transformation’s Grotto Heaven, he would be discovered by the opponent.

What surprised him even more was that even after using all sorts of tricks and transferring with all his might...he thought he had escaped from the opponent’s control, only to open his eyes and find himself falling straight into the opponent’s hands...within the Yang Artifact, and even being captured out by the opponent.

"Who would have thought, with my Spirit Realm technology, I couldn’t escape Zhang Yu’s One Yang Finger."

What shocked Tai Chenggong more was the threat burst out by the opponent’s single finger strike just now.

Even though Zhang Yu had only used this one move, all sorts of observational data had been recorded by Tai Chenggong and quickly evaluated in his mind.

"This move from Zhang Yu utilized the characteristics of the Immortal Cave Heaven, transmitting the onslaught of countless Magic Treasures and puppets within the Grotto Heaven...directly onto the Primordial Spirit."

"This is how he managed to unleash the force of two thousand Divinity Transformation-level powers in one move."

Tai Chenggong didn’t know...what the specific technological path behind all this was.

But as long as he knew the opponent could achieve this, he could deduce Zhang Yu’s latest working framework.

"The Primordial Spirit moves like thunder, quickly reaching the target location."

"Wherever Zhang Yu’s Primordial Spirit arrives, his Immortal Space can provide support there, deploying all the power within the Grotto Heaven to the target location at any time."

Tai Chenggong sighed secretly in his heart: "Who says Zhang Yu lacks Spirit Realm technology? To accomplish this, one must first possess strong Spirit Realm technology, allowing Zhang Yu to have complete control over localized Spirit Realm within the Grotto Heaven, down to commanding every puppet and device at will."

"Only this way could he detect me, track me, and simultaneously dispatch...more than two thousand Divinity Transformation-level devices."

"Moreover...the time difference for the power deployment of these two thousand devices does not exceed one-thousandth of a second, and the error in deployment coordinates is controlled within 2 centimeters."

Tai Chenggong knew that if Zhang Yu could not achieve any one of these points, he would have already broken out of the formation.

Unable to detect him or track him means even the most substantial power reserves and mobilizations are useless.

And without concentrating and deploying the force instantly, even with 2,000 Divinity Transformation-level forces...they wouldn’t pose much of a threat to him, a dignified Refining Void Soul Cultivator.

If there’s a difference, it’s like two thousand retail investors he could casually insult.

But if someone pooled all the funds from these two thousand retail investors into one account, then he must tread cautiously.

After completing an evaluation, Tai Chenggong came to a conclusion in his heart: "Continuing to resist would result in significant losses, consuming a large amount of my lifespan, and the benefits are negligible."

Thus, when Tai Chenggong saw the estimated lifespan loss, he naturally chose to cease.

At the same time, another thought arose in his mind.

"Given Zhang Yu’s demonstrated Spirit Realm technology and control over the Immortal Cave Heaven, after breaking through Refining Void...though still not enough to directly contend with those seasoned Void Refining Cultivators, he could already become an asset for Tai Taojun in the legislation."

Since the other party can assist Tai Yue Bai, adding to the legislative endeavor, improving the success rate for the future Ascension path of Tai Taojun and himself, Tai Chenggong naturally harbored no hostility towards Zhang Yu at this moment.

He then said respectfully, "Minister Zhang, I am Tai Chenggong. My visit here is under the order of Tai Taojun, to investigate the real situation here, with no ill intent."

"You can contact Tai Yue Bai Taojun to verify my identity and purpose."

Outside the Immortal Cave Heaven, in the office, Zhang Yu raised his brow slightly: "Tai Chenggong? Tai Yue Bai?"

About Tai Yue Bai, Zhang Yu had heard some information from Fa Liuyuan, knowing that he is an Immortal seed heavily invested and specially nurtured by the Reform Faction, and also participated in the third generation legislation as a seasoned Refiner Void Cultivator.

In addition, he also learned some intelligence about Tai Yue Bai from Zhan Xian, understanding that this person is quite a notable existence among many seasoned Void Refining Taoist Monarchs.

Zhang Yu’s Primordial Spirit asked, "What is your relationship with Tai Yue Bai?"

Tai Chenggong straightened his chest and said, "In my life, I have two fathers, one is the father who gave birth to me, and the other is the father I gave birth to, which is Tai Taojun."

"However, Tai Taojun is the most filial son of our Wanfa Sect. He not only doesn’t allow me to call him dad but also sends money to me on time every month. Because he loves family companionship, he always keeps family around, allowing me to consistently follow him..."

Zhang Yu said, "So?"

Having highlighted his importance, Tai Chenggong proudly said, "I am the chief soul cultivator of the soul cultivator group under Tai Taojun, destined to follow Taojun and Ascend to Immortality together, achieving the position of Ghost Immortal."

If this were on Earth, Zhang Yu would consider the other a lunatic, but in Kunxu...he could only helplessly admit: "Indeed, the most filial son of the Wanfa Sect, truly filial."
