Chapter 1658 - 935:

Among them, the Refining Void Realm cultivators Ban Jincheng and Si Shian, as well as the Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivators Bu Yingshu and Lie Jinghong, all seemed to become inconspicuous in comparison.

Even the lofty Ascension Cultivator Yiyao Sheng at this moment quietly stepped aside, as if bowing his noble head before Zhang Yu.

Originally arrogant before Le Mulan, Yue Qinglan and Lian Zizi now silently withdrew to a distance.

Such an unprecedented scene left Le Mulan’s mind blank, completely bewildered by the unfolding events.

Le Mulan opened her mouth but didn’t even know what to say.

Zhang Yu took the initiative to hold Le Mulan’s hand and sent a message: "Don’t be afraid, don’t be nervous, we will talk slowly once we return."

...

Shortly after the conflict erupted at Hengsheng Cave Heaven.

Various related messages began spreading in the Law Realm and Spirit Realm.

Some say Zhang Yu was standing up for his fellow townsman Le Mulan by rescuing her from the pharmaceutical enterprise.

But few believe this explanation.

"How could it merely be for a Lower Realm Cultivator that you’d oppose a pharmaceutical company? Clearly, it’s using Hengsheng Small World as a statement for next year’s Law Reform."

"Exactly! If this affair succeeds, the fame of the Ten Thousand Laws Divine Sword will soar. Even the Heavenly Monarch Yiyao Sheng of the pharmaceutical company must bow; who dares obstruct in the future?"

"Zhang Yu’s momentum is unstoppable!"

Looking at the news and comments within the Spirit Realm, Kuang Tianqing snorted coldly, looking at the giant corpse beside him, and asked, "Senior, what do you think happened? Did Zhang Yu deliberately stir things up to leverage the situation and take away Le Mulan?"

The giant corpse said lightly, "The Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor intervened; he was a step ahead in protecting Le Mulan."

Kuang Tianqing was startled: "The Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor?"

The giant corpse continued, "According to the latest news, the secret on Le Mulan is likely related to soul cultivators extending their lifespan. What do you think is the best way for the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor to handle such a person?"

Kuang Tianqing raised an eyebrow, saying, "Joint development with the pharmaceutical company? Share the profits?"

The giant corpse shook its head, sighing, "That would only be the mindset of an Immortal, not the magnanimity of an Immortal Emperor."

"As an Immortal Emperor, one must consider the overall situation of ten sects. If the pharmaceutical company were really allowed to fully develop it, it would immediately trigger intense Taoist struggles between the Life Origin Daoist and Reincarnation Daoist, leading possibly to an all-out war."

"For the Wanfa Sect which holds favorable circumstances now, this is definitely something the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor does not wish to see."

"On the contrary, keeping Le Mulan under control, enhancing this woman only in moderation, enough to make the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor hesitate, adds a bargaining chip in negotiating with the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, which for the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor is the optimal solution."

Upon hearing this, a tremor went through Kuang Tianqing’s mana, and he sighed: "Unfortunately, the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor got ahead this time, capturing Le Mulan..."

The giant corpse said, "The Wanfa Sect, after all, is the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor’s Wanfa Sect; whatever concerns this Immortal Emperor, no one can contend against him."

"But don’t think that your Reincarnation Immortal Emperor has truly lost."

The giant corpse continued, facing Kuang Tianqing’s puzzled gaze: "The life-and-death relationships between Daoist inheritances are natural law for Lower Cultivators, but not for an Immortal Emperor."

"Just like water conquers fire as a natural law, but if an Immortal Emperor wishes, water can also generate fire."

"Regarding the Taoist struggles between the Life Origin Daoist and Reincarnation Daoist, if Reincarnation Gold continues growing, and soul cultivators live longer, supplying more Reincarnation Gold, then Life Origin Daoist won’t conquer Reincarnation, but rather Life Origin generates Reincarnation."

The giant corpse sighed: "One thought of an Immortal Emperor, sweeping policies across the world, overwhelming everything, can reverse the theories of life and death among various Taoist inheritances, change production relations, thus shaping a new era."

"Just like the effective period of laws promoted by the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor, or the Reincarnation Gold pushed by the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor."

Kuang Tianqing said: "Then what will happen next... will Le Mulan stay with Zhang Yu?"

The giant corpse shook its head, saying: "The Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor’s order concerning Le Mulan is probably already on its way."

Kuang Tianqing nodded slightly, another thought arising in his mind.

"In this matter... what is Zhang Yu’s attitude? Has he actually guessed the intention of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor? Could he possibly be proactively advancing this affair, handing over Le Mulan to the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor?"
