Chapter 1615 - 923: Zhang Yu’s Decision

"Master Xinghuo..."

Looking at the projection floating before him, Zhang Yu was naturally surprised.

Because given Xinghuo Divine Monarch’s rank and realm, he should not have the qualification to come to the Knowledge Law Small Building.

Yet now, not only has he come, he’s directly arrived as a projection in the testing site, engaging in face-to-face communication with Zhang Yu.

Looking at Zhang Yu before him, Xinghuo Divine Monarch gave a helpless smile and said, "Zhang Yu, someone specifically invited me to come and meet with you, passing on some words."

Zhang Yu’s heart stirred, "Is it related to my law trial?"

Xinghuo Divine Monarch sighed, "Yes, it is related to your law trial. You may not feel it here, but outside... this matter has stirred quite the commotion, many people are saying you’re disrupting the core environment, though there’s also quite a few speaking for you."

"In the Spirit Realm and the Law Realm, everyone is arguing endlessly, and quite a few are spitting on each other."

"Even a large number of Soul Cultivators and external partners have joined this grand debate without receiving any payment."

How to put it, when Xinghuo Divine Monarch sees Soul Cultivators and external partners involved... it feels like when the top ten are discussing their own scores, a college student jumps in claiming their shitting and eating are unique skills.

"But when even they start discussing such major sect affairs, you know how heated this matter has become now."

Listening to Xinghuo’s words, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is someone behind this, pushing it along?"

"Moreover... for them to bring Master Xinghuo all the way here, crossing Kunxu’s hierarchy, and presenting him before me... these people are indeed highly capable."

After Xinghuo Divine Monarch roughly explained the current situation, he finally said, "The cultivators capable of legislation are all those who hold sway within the sect, and the network of interests intertwined is incredibly complex. You pull one strand, and it affects everything. Some of my relationships are involved, and now that it has been passed to me, I couldn’t help but come."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly; he knew long ago that for Xinghuo Divine Monarch to reach this stage, he must have connections and a background within the sect.

Usually, it provides support for Xinghuo Divine Monarch, but it also means that when necessary, Xinghuo must reciprocate.

If Zhang Yu were facing other cultivators, he could disregard them entirely, even directly refuse to communicate or entertain any legislation favors or persuasion.

But facing Xinghuo Divine Monarch before him, a master who had helped him quite a lot...

At this moment, Zhang Yu realized that those behind the scenes have probably researched him thoroughly from head to toe, including his character, experiences, and networks... only then did they invite Xinghuo Divine Monarch to start the dialogue.

Zhan Xian sighed, "The problem with Kunxu affairs is that you and I are intertwined, inseparable."

Zhang Yu said, "Tell me, what message do they want you to pass? Is it trying to persuade me where to start the law trial?"

Xinghuo Divine Monarch smiled helplessly, continuing, "In the end, no one wants an unexpected superior above them, especially the Void Refining Cultivators capable of establishing laws."

"Especially now with ongoing disputes in each great road, changes in Soul Cultivators and Artifact Spirits, not to mention the emergence of new Third Generation Laws, the sect is quite turbulent, and many more do not want a ’Effective Period of Laws’ to meddle and affect the growth rate of the sect’s total cultivation over these years."

"So they hope you conduct the law trial in the Lower Realm, preferably the first level."

Listening to these words, Zhan Xian snorted coldly, "Since the first level has the least involved interests, they deem it least valuable, naturally allowing you to mess as you wish, maybe even using the entire first level as a test ground for them to counter your laws..."

Fu Ji said, "Hmph! Choosing the first level, how do we explain to the Immortal Emperor? Isn’t this breaking our Immortal Road?"

Seeing Zhang Yu’s silence, Xinghuo Divine Monarch continued, "Zhang Yu, my task... is merely passing their message, you do not need to worry about me in your response."

"If there’s anything you wish me to convey to them, you can tell me."

"The saying goes, ’ask for sky-high prices, settle for ground money.’ Though you wield the ’Effective Period of Laws,’ given the opposition this time is many seasoned Void Refining cultivators who have established laws, it’s best to reduce conflict through dialogue as much as possible..."

Zhang Yu nodded, "I understand, Master Xinghuo. But I need to think about it; I can’t respond just yet."

The next day after Xinghuo Divine Monarch’s meeting with Zhang Yu, another familiar face also arrived at the test site.

It was none other than Zhang Yu’s former boss at the Yufa Pavilion, now the minister of the Audit Department.

Arriving at the test site, Gu Qingya sighed inwardly, "Such nostalgia, the Third Generation Laws test site—a few years back, I alone, without background, without allies, no one lifting me, without telling anyone—and ultimately... didn’t come here."

Thinking occasionally about himself several years ago while collaborating with Zhang Yu, rising to Minister of the Audit Department, charging the Void Refinement Realm, yet missing out on the Third Generation Law technology, Gu Qingya always felt a twinge of unwillingness, but when realizing that with his own ability and background, joining now wouldn’t select him for the Third Generation Law’s training, he found solace again.

Seeing Zhang Yu, Gu Qingya said with admiration, "Congratulations, congratulations indeed, such a feat of regulating the world’s laws accomplished by you, Lord Zhang. In future, who dares say we Lower Realm cultivators are incapable?"

And seeing Gu Qingya’s arrival, Zhang Yu sighed, "Mr. Gu, are you also here to inquire about the law trial?"
