Chapter 525: Fortunate Relic and Blockade (Thanks to 'Novice Village Chief Taipal' for Rewarding the Alliance Leader)

Within the Grand Purity Realm.

Inside the illusion of the side hall.

Ever since Zhang Pianpian's Dao Seed Grand Purity Talisman was upgraded to Level 2, this illusion has appeared in the Grand Purity Realm, allowing Zhang Yu to simulate real-world objects here.

Although with his Dao heart, he could at most simulate Foundation Establishment-level magic treasures and bone relics, it was already more than enough for Zhang Yu.

At this very moment, the entire environment, under Zhang Yu's control, was gradually transforming into a laboratory, specifically Ye Xingli's laboratory.

Zhang Yu had spent almost every day in Ye Xingli's laboratory during this period, gaining a good understanding of it. His current simulation in the illusion was incredibly lifelike.

However, many devices were merely shells; Zhang Yu had never used them himself and didn't know their functions, so he naturally couldn't truly simulate them within the illusion.

The next moment, as the four-headed white bull in Zhang Yu's mind roared, he transformed into four figures within the illusion, each walking to a different experimental workbench.

Simultaneously, a design blueprint for a magic treasure appeared before Zhang Yu. The treasure described on it was called the Karma Relic.

This was a magic treasure commonly used by company employees, often distributed for free by companies.

Once equipped with the Karma Relic, all information exchanged between employees and the Spirit Realm network was fully monitored, and their bodily data was collected in real time.

If an employee was found to have violated company regulations, the Karma Relic would directly extract their magic power as a fine, which would then be issued to the company as a bonus at the end of the month.

It was said that after implementing the Karma Relic, many companies saw a significant increase in their net profits that year, even without a noticeable rise in turnover.

As a product of Vajra University, the Karma Relic also won the gold prize in the Magic Treasure Design Competition that year.

The set of design blueprints Zhang Yu was currently studying was, of course, not the latest version of the Karma Relic. It was an older version stored in the Grand Library of Ten Thousand Laws University, which Zhang Yu had purchased for study.

It was rumored that the latest version of the Karma Relic had more powerful functions, and its design blueprints were considered company secrets.

At this moment, Zhang Yu's four streams of consciousness each began studying different parts of the Karma Relic's design blueprints.

Zhang Yu's reason for studying this was, of course, not because he wanted to create Karma Relics for his own employees.

Zhang Yu wanted to learn the underlying technology.

Monitoring the information exchange between employees and the Spirit Realm network involved Spirit Realm transmission technology and Spirit Realm information defense technology. These could be applied to the Heavenly Sun Emperor God's Spirit Realm defense module to prevent this military-grade puppet from being invaded via the Spirit Realm.

Real-time collection of various data from within employees incorporated internal sensing technology and special magic power detection technology, which were among the key technologies the Heavenly Sun Emperor God used to monitor the entire puppet.

Forcibly extracting magic power as a fine utilized fully automatic magic power refinement technology, which was one of the technologies applied in the Heavenly Sun Emperor God's power system.

If Zhang Yu could simulate the Karma Relic blueprints through the Grand Purity Realm and practice the effects of the Feather Scroll to Level 20, he would naturally gain deep mastery of these technologies, facilitating the subsequent refining of the Heavenly Sun Emperor God prototype.

"By studying these magic treasures one by one, I can master each of the technologies required for the Heavenly Sun Emperor God."

As Zhang Yu studied the design blueprints, various textbooks from the Artifact Forging Department continuously appeared around him.

After all, he hadn't finished his Artifact Forging courses, so he still had to self-study any parts of the design blueprints he didn't understand.

However, as long as he self-studied the basics enough to complete one full refining of the Karma Relic, he could then continuously increase the practice count of the Feather Scroll through repeated practice.

This would then forcibly raise his Artifact Forging level, allowing him to master all the knowledge and technologies involved in the process.

The entire Grand Purity Realm began to operate at high speed. Under 20x acceleration, Zhang Yu, equipped with the Artifact Forging Prodigy, split his consciousness into four streams, furiously studying everything before him.

After several hours, Zhang Yu felt he had fully absorbed the blueprints and began simulating bone relics, preparing to practice refining the Karma Relic in the illusion.

In the following days, Zhang Yu dedicated himself entirely to his studies, spending almost all his available time immersed in the Grand Purity Realm.

One day, when Zhang Yu arrived at True Monarch Magnetic Pole's laboratory again, he saw a spherical, crystal-like object, flying back and forth around the Soul Transformation Bone Relic under the True Monarch's control.

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "Teacher, what is this?"

True Monarch Magnetic Pole smiled slightly, "This is an experimental product I made. Although it's not complete yet, it seems capable of stimulating the qi and blood within the Soul Transformation Bone Relic."

Having participated in the experiments for so long, Zhang Yu knew that True Monarch Magnetic Pole had divided the progress of cracking the Soul Transformation Bone Relic into four stages: free control, principle deciphering, laboratory manufacturing, and finally, mass production.

Within the free control stage, True Monarch Magnetic Pole had set five objectives: magic power exchange, qi and blood exchange, memory exchange, knowledge exchange, and cultivation base exchange.

Each of these five objectives was more challenging than the last. The final one, cultivation base exchange, not only required the Soul Transformation Bone Relic to absorb others' cultivation but also to increase their cultivation.

Previously, True Monarch Magnetic Pole had achieved the magic power exchange objective.

Now, it seemed he was close to the qi and blood exchange objective.

Zhang Yu said, "Congratulations, Teacher."

True Monarch Magnetic Pole said calmly, "I also owe thanks to your reminder. This experimental product, an 'Yang vessel' bone relic created by imitating your physical characteristics, successfully deceived the Soul Transformation Bone Relic into thinking it was you."

Zhang Yu's gaze shifted to the spherical crystal in mid-air, and he thought to himself, "The teacher has successfully refined it, so why haven't I been able to copy the Dao Seed? Could it be that..."

Zhang Yu asked, "Is this bone relic not high-level?"

True Monarch Magnetic Pole glanced at Zhang Yu in surprise, saying, "You do have some insight. It seems you've made significant progress since changing departments."

"This bone relic is currently only Level 11."

Zhang Yu said, "So it seems its level needs to be further increased to successfully achieve the qi and blood exchange objective?"

True Monarch Magnetic Pole, however, shook his head. "The bone relic itself still has room for design optimization. There's no need to push the first prototype bone relic to such a high level."

With that, True Monarch Magnetic Pole smilingly grabbed Zhang Yu. "Let me see what other areas can be optimized."

Feeling himself held in True Monarch Magnetic Pole's hand, treated like an experimental animal to be handled as he pleased, Zhang Yu had no choice but to force a smile and cooperate with his teacher.

Every time he recalled his helplessness in such situations, Zhang Yu told himself that one must become rich and strong.

True Monarch Magnetic Pole said, "Good, keep still. Don't move around."

Zhang Yu replied, "As long as you're satisfied, Teacher."

True Monarch Magnetic Pole: "You've started studying the Heavenly Sun Emperor God, right? Given your professional ranking, you could try applying for a project loan from the school. Don't forget about it."

Outdoors.

On this particular day, Zhang Yu uncharacteristically went to a construction site to carry out work using the divine power of Mount Kunlun's Earth-Shifting.

Just as he finished his work and was about to leave, a somewhat familiar figure blocked his path.

"Feng Yuhan?"

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened as he recognized the person before him as Feng Yuhan from the school's Research Department.

It was this same Feng Yuhan who had previously proposed supervisory and restrictive measures against him, intending to keep him at school, or even confined to a laboratory. These proposals were ultimately rejected in front of Divine Monarch Myriad Transformations, with True Monarch Magnetic Pole, Director Gao, and Zhang Yu present.

Zhang Yu knew that this school administrator had always been at odds with True Monarch Magnetic Pole, so he immediately felt wary upon seeing him.

Feng Yuhan said calmly, "Student Zhang Yu."

The next moment, spiritual light flickered across the heavens and earth, and chains appeared out of thin air, completely sealing off an area of a thousand meters around them.

Within this thousand-meter radius, not only was spiritual energy almost stagnant, making it impossible for Zhang Yu to mobilize even a sliver, but Spirit Realm information exchange also ceased, completely severing Zhang Yu's connection to the Spirit Realm.

Feeling that he could no longer mobilize the Earthly Fiend Gravity, Zhang Yu had no choice but to descend to the ground.

Zhang Yu frowned and asked, "Teacher Feng, is something the matter?"

At the same time, Zhang Yu had already activated the Sun-Moon Sky-Penetrating Bracelet borrowed from the school, intending to send a message to call True Monarch Magnetic Pole, but found that the message failed to send directly.

He then tried sending messages to other people, but all attempts failed.

"The Sun-Moon Sky-Penetrating Bracelet is malfunctioning?"

Zhang Yu knew that the Sun-Moon Sky-Penetrating Bracelet could directly connect to the sun and moon in the sky, known as the Sun-Patrolling Black Bird and the Jade Palace of Eternal Night respectively, thereby directly connecting to the Spirit Realm.

"Is this Feng Yuhan's doing?"

As if he had seen through Zhang Yu's actions, Feng Yuhan said calmly, "Don't bother. Our conversation today is confidential. I don't want anyone to know, so you won't be able to contact anyone."

Giving Zhang Yu no sense of choice, Feng Yuhan seemed to be issuing a direct command.

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, "This guy... heard about the teacher's progress and wants to intercept it?"

Zhang Yu replied, "I have no intention of selling any of my organs."

Feng Yuhan, however, seemed utterly unconcerned by Zhang Yu's answer and simply said, "You are, after all, only a third-year student. It's normal not to understand many of the laboratory's terms."

"As a technological achievement of Ten Thousand Laws University, you theoretically should be under my jurisdiction."

"However, I also know you're usually busy, so I won't force you to stay at school. But regarding the part of you that constitutes a key organ, I hope you will voluntarily hand it over. This is also to protect laboratory property."

"This is my duty, and I hope you can support the work of our Research Department."

Hearing Feng Yuhan speak, Zhang Yu immediately realized, "Does this guy want to seize control of the laboratory through my body's organs?"

Zhang Yu immediately replied, "True Monarch Magnetic Pole still needs me to improve the experimental bone relic."

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu also tried his Sky-Patrolling Flying Sword, hoping to contact the outside world, but found that it too failed.

Looking at the chains that intermittently appeared and disappeared in the atmosphere, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This Feng Yuhan also has a Nascent Soul cultivation. With his magic treasure suppressing the area, I have no way to break through the blockade."

"What about the Grand Purity Realm then?"

Zhang Yu then tried taking out a Spirit Realm face mask and putting it on.

Observing this, Feng Yuhan said calmly, "Don't waste your efforts. Our conversation today is confidential. I don't want anyone to know, so you won't be able to contact anyone."
