Chapter 1689 - 945: Introduction of Special Talent from the Lower Realm

Ever since Zhang Yu moved to the 16th-floor Yuannei Cave Heaven, Zhao Tianxing, his chief soul cultivator, has been shuttling through the Spirit Realm. His consciousness travels between the Old Graveyard and Yuannei Cave Heaven, monitoring various situations in the Netherworld Property Department and the Soul Cultivation Company for Zhang Yu, ensuring that Zhang Yu can still understand the most genuine situations after leaving the Old Graveyard.

With the Refining Void spots given by Zhang Yu, including Zhao Tianxing, Mo Tianyi, Che Yufei, Hu Yuntao, and the Ying Family Ancestor, all gained the freedom to break through realms until reaching the eligibility for Void Refinement.

But even for soul cultivators, who abandon the cultivation of mana and physical strength and save countless efforts in cultivation techniques, breaking through the Refining Void Realm is not something that can be achieved instantly.

Even with the most support from Zhang Yu, Zhao Tianxing had only recently broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, and most of his other soul cultivators were still at the Nascent Soul or Golden Core Realm.

Fearing that their progress was too slow and that Zhang Yu might replace their Refining Void spots, they all practiced diligently every day, besides working, hoping to break through to the Refining Void Realm as soon as possible, clinging to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity tightly.

But even for the Nascent Soul and Golden Core soul cultivators, to Wang Hai... they were already formidable figures.

For Wang Hai... once a prestigious teacher at Songyang High School, whether he was a PE teacher on the first floor or a principal, the highest realm cultivators he could encounter in his daily work were only those in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Nascent Soul and Golden Core were already unattainable for him, and Divinity Transformation Cultivators... were as if they were mythical.

Thus, upon hearing that a Divinity Transformation Soul Cultivator had descended, the pixelated projection of Wang Hai immediately knelt to the ground, kowtowing desperately.

Without the spirit realm voice transmission service, he could only quickly send lines of small text to plead: O Divine Transformation Master, please spare me, I’m from the first floor, new to the sect, completely unaware of the sect’s rules, I didn’t intentionally violate them by impersonating an upper realm soul cultivator...

At this moment, Wang Hai was trembling with fear, terrified that this eminent figure would resurrect him on a whim, thereby putting him in debt and unable to find a job.

Although he’d only just arrived at the sect, Wang Hai had heard much, such as how powerful figures in the sect could easily loan-resurrect a soul cultivator like him who was in the Qi Refinement stage.

Without the identity of a soul cultivator, his Qi Refinement living status in the sect could not secure him any employment. Even the lowest-tier jobs had long been taken by artifact spirits and soul cultivators.

In that case, not only would he have lived for nothing, but he would also amass interest on top of debt, eventually being forced back into becoming a soul cultivator.

Only by maintaining the state of a soul cultivator could he exist like a component, finding the lowest tier job in the sect, barely surviving.

However, in the next moment, when Wang Hai heard someone address him as Mr. Wang and ask how he died to the sect, he was startled, cautiously observing the other party.

Still lacking high-resolution imagery, Wang Hai could only observe a mass of pixels.

Only through text information could he discern the other person’s name, realm, position... and other details.

"Zhao Tianxing?"

When Wang Hai first saw this name, he thought it was someone with the same name, but upon hearing the other’s voice transmission now, an unbelievable thought surfaced in his mind.

Zhao Tianxing sensed the soul cultivator in front of him trembling incessantly and sighed internally.

At first, upon receiving the message about a lower realm soul cultivator impersonating an upper realm soul cultivator, he thought it was some college student from the lower realm behind the act.

This seemed unsurprising to him, as, from what he knew, nowadays, college students from the lower realm were very different from what they were like in his time.

"After opening soul cultivator circulation between realms, it’s all about scheming to die into the sect, these so-called college-entrance exam opportunists."

"Unlike us back in the days, who only went to college when we had no other options."

But he hadn’t expected the situation to be more severe and puzzling than anticipated.

"A first-floor soul cultivator impersonating an upper realm soul cultivator? Not even college kids would do something this egregious."

Zhao Tianxing already anticipated that once word got out, it would surely cause an uproar.

Consequently, with a flick of his will, numerous soul cultivators under him dispersed at once, starting to seal off the information.

At the same time, Zhao Tianxing turned to Wang Hai and said, "Mr. Wang, do you remember me? I’m Zhao Tianxing, from the same batch as Zhang Yu back in the day..."

Looking at the pixelated figure of the counterpart, Zhao Tianxing suddenly had an idea and purchased some basic spirit realm services for the other person.

The next moment, Wang Hai exclaimed in shock, "Zhao... Divine Monarch Zhao!"

At this moment, Wang Hai was overwhelmed with endless regret: "Even Zhao Tianxing could reach Divinity Transformation? Opportunities do abound in the sect... I died too late, I should have died sooner!"

Zhao Tianxing asked, "Mr. Wang, how did you come to die in the sect?"

Wang Hai quickly explained, "The soul cultivator circulation project between the upper and lower realms has already reached the first floor now..."

Through Wang Hai’s narrative, Zhao Tianxing finally realized the world on the first floor had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The message about soul cultivator circulation between realms, allowing death to enter the sect, caused a sensation on the first floor as soon as it spread.

People would rather be ghosts in the sect than live on the first floor.

It’s better to enter the sect through exams than to die into it.

Dying early is the only way for young people.

Wang Hai lamented: "If not prohibiting free suicide, I reckon there wouldn’t be many living people left on the first floor by now."
