Chapter 1403 - 857: When Those Above Have Preferences, Those Below Will Exaggerate Them (Part 2)

"I’m taking the examination for the Netherworld Property Department this time, hoping for a chance to work under Minister Zhang in the future."

"Even if the minister wants me to have his children... I would be willing to have sextuplets."

"Of course, sextuplets aren’t my limit; I just fear that having more would delay the work the minister assigns to me."

Hearing this, Bei Wufeng and Jin Jun both felt a shock of loyalty emanating from Yan Qianji, along with a strong sense of sect spirit.

"Is this the result of a year of outsourced cultivation from the sect?" Bei Wufeng thought to himself, "The current Yan Qianji is a completely different person compared to before. This time in the sect examination, I’m afraid I may not be able to compete with him."

As someone who was once ranked among the top three in the Artifact Refining Department alongside Ye Xingli, Bei Wufeng felt his gap with Ye Xingli and Yan Qianji growing ever wider at this moment.

At the side, Jin Jun earnestly said, "Brother Yan Qianji, if you succeed in the sect examination this time, can you take me along? I’ll do outsourcing for you."

Yan Qianji replied, "In this regard, I have to follow Yu Zhenjun’s command. This time, the outsourcing might primarily be focused on the Civil Engineering Department."

Jin Jun was astonished upon hearing this, "Civil Engineering Department?"

At this moment, Jin Jun felt like the world was turned upside down. Since when could the Civil Engineering Department take precedence over the Artifact Refining Department?

Yan Qianji said, "The development zone under Minister Zhang’s command is undergoing major civil engineering projects, and there is a need for talents in that field. Moreover, the leader during the Ascension Stage, who appreciates Minister Zhang, is one of the founders of the Civil Engineering Department at Wanfa University..."

Hearing the words "leader during the Ascension Stage," Jin Jun’s expression turned serious, and he said, "I’ll go download some instructional videos from the Civil Engineering Department right away. Good artifact refining is no different from civil engineering!"

...

"Reached Divinity Transformation?"

In the Overtime Institute, Hou Shuntian, who once called himself Swallowing Heaven True Monarch during the university wars, now muttered to himself, "Zhang Yu... has reached Divinity Transformation?"

Even though he was at the Overtime Institute, all kinds of normal expenses were still being supplied in the form of debt, allowing Hou Shuntian to watch this live broadcast.

Even if he didn’t know what kind of substance the Netherworld Property Department was in the sect or the minister’s status, he knew the weight of the Divinity Transformation Divine Monarch.

After all, it’s the top force among the Ten Schools, capable of deciding the university landscape, shaping the cultivation and livelihoods of countless people.

Now, Zhang Yu had not only achieved Divinity Transformation, he had also employed the Ten Schools’ Divinity Transformation to work for him. To Hou Shuntian, this was a towering level that’s hard to reach.

Hou Shuntian lamented, "The sect examination is the best path!"

If he could be reborn, Hou Shuntian would only want to tell himself, "If you’re reborn, prepare well for the sect examination!"

But the present Hou Shuntian knew that for the rest of his life, he probably wouldn’t qualify for the sect examination.

"Alas, the Evil God misled me! Fu Xiantian misled me! I should have been a Sect Affairs Officer!"

At his side, the True Monarch of the College, who had returned to his original name, Li Qiuxian, watched the content of the live broadcast and disbelievingly said, "Impossible! Zhang Yu only ascended two years ago, how could he have reached Divinity Transformation? How could he represent the sect and recruit extensively from the Top Ten Universities like this?"

"The sect isn’t like this at all, there’s something wrong! There must be something wrong here."

Li Qiuxian turned his head and saw the Taihao True Monarch, who was cultivating the "Secret Scripture of Shifting Ancestry," kneeling before the broadcast, and couldn’t help but shout, "Why are you kneeling? Do you think kneeling in front of the broadcast will help?"

Taihao True Monarch said, "It gives some boost to my Dao Heart."

While the two were talking, a notification of decreased work efficiency appeared in the Eye Remains, startling them into silence and focusing back on their overtime work.

...

While Yu Xinghan was stirring up Lower Realm’s situation.

In the Old Graveyard, Zhang Yu was leading the former headmasters of Sky Demon University, Nie Lian Divine Monarch, and Vajra University, Divine Monarch Zhipan, walking together in the Immortal Cave Heaven, introducing them to the production line and the nearby laboratory.

After Magnetic Pole went to the Lower Realm to take the sect examination, and Ye Xingli took charge of the financial affairs of the Netherworld Property Department, Zhang Yu realized that he would need to find some new people to help with the production lines and laboratories in his Immortal Cave Heaven.

After all, even if Magnetic Pole Teacher returned from the sect examination, becoming an official Sect Affairs Officer, the Netherworld Property Department had plenty of work, making it impossible to stay in his Grotto Heaven, managing the labs and production lines.

"Magnetic Pole Teacher has the Dao Seed of ’Heavenly Craftsmanship,’ and Senior Sister Ye Xingli also possesses the ’Spiritual Rhythm Heart.’ They are bound to be the primary persons responsible for the production line and laboratory in the future, but the main responsibilities would be design and high-tech work; some simpler tasks will certainly have to be handed over to others."

"Come to think of it, if Magnetic Pole Teacher didn’t have to go down for the sect examination, I should have been able to upgrade ’Heavenly Craftsmanship’ to Level 3 with her in the past two months."

At this time, a wave of pressure swept in, startling the mana within Nie Lian Divine Monarch and Divine Monarch Zhipan’s bodies to whirl wildly.

A black dragon, like a black lightning bolt, suddenly lay down in front of Zhang Yu. It was his previously subdued Refining Void Corpse Item—Heavenly Rail Seat.

Heavenly Rail Seat was one of the two remaining Refining Void Corpse Items Zhang Yu had after the heavenly crash event, the other being the World Founding Furnace that served as the power source within the Immortal Cave Heaven.

Feeling the Refining Void Corpse Item’s pressure, Nie Lian Divine Monarch and Divine Monarch Zhipan were shocked, "Minister Zhang, although only at the Divinity Transformation Realm, already possesses abilities at the Refining Void level, no wonder he could hold a firm position as vice president with a Level 4 sect staff rank."

Looking at the Heavenly Rail Seat in front of him, Zhang Yu said to Yinquan Divine Monarch, "Have all the damages during the sky repair been fully repaired? Thank you for your hard work, Yinquan Divine Monarch."
