Does this count as a temple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, the projection of Mo Shuangjin said, \"How could it be? The Buddhist Order has been gone for so many years—where would a temple come from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhang Yu immediately became curious and asked for the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Shuangjin casually replied, \"Legend has it that the Buddha Emperor saw that within the Pure Land, the Buddhist kings did not engage in productive work, conducted illegal operations, caused massive economic losses, and severely disrupted market order.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thus, the Buddha Emperor made a painful decision, took up the butcher's knife, vowed never to become a Buddha, and turned the blade inward to purify the Buddhist realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the end, the Buddha Emperor withdrew from the Buddhist Order and established the Vajra Sect, which became one of the ten great sects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All Buddhist temples were declared illegal organizations by the ten great sects and were mercilessly abolished. Buddhist monks and nuns were deemed an illegal occupation—any found to be practicing faced one to three years of unpaid overtime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is said that during that earth-shattering campaign to sweep away Buddhism, many Buddhist kings were arrested and sentenced, all temple assets under their command were confiscated and placed under unified management by the ten great sects, and related knowledge and technology were seized by the Heavenly Court for righteous use, to benefit Kunxu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And many of their physical bodies were offered up as public property to compensate for part of the war reparations...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Mo Shuangjin's brief words, Zhang Yu could almost envision a tremendous war unfolding fiercely across Kunxu, with countless dead and immense losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, \"This broken place of Kunxu really has seen a lot of battles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, looking at the giant golden Buddha statue below the flying boat, he said, \"So this was a former Buddhist temple? Now it's being used as a university?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Shuangjin shook his head: \"It is said... this is the physical body of a great Buddhist cultivator. After being confiscated, it became a stronghold of the Vajra Sect, specifically used for technological archaeology.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems that the Vajra Sect's seniors comprehended ancient techniques here, adapting them into modern methods, which greatly advanced the Vajra Sect's immortal technology.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During the archaeological process, this place also became a laboratory for new technologies, employing many mortals to teach some techniques to assist in the archaeology and participate in experiments, gradually becoming a place for teaching immortal technology.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But by now, the Vajra Sect's immortal technology has long been innovated, and the stronghold here was withdrawn long ago, eventually slowly turning into Vajra University.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, it is said that even now, some people are still responsible for conducting archaeology here, but no significant results have emerged for a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Shuangjin guessed, \"I estimate it's because the Vajra Sect's immortal technology has long surpassed that of the old Buddhist Order, so the ancient techniques here can no longer benefit them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two were speaking, the flying boat slowly descended onto the giant Buddha statue's enormous palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Buddha's palm, which, when spread open, was like the size of many airports, Zhang Yu once again marveled at the statue's enormity—the closer he got, the more shocked he felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With a body so massive, just how wealthy was this great Buddhist cultivator in life? What was his net worth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, as the flying boat landed, everyone from Wanfa University disembarked together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as they stepped off the flying boat, a notification popped up in Zhang Yu's ocular implant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome to Vajra University! You are the 9,999th visitor today. Congratulations on becoming today's lucky visitor and winning the grand prize of 100 spirit coins. To claim your prize, please download...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Zhang Yu, or Shi Huaiyu, Su Yanyang, Xiao Yunji, and the others, they all just glanced at the notification, treated it as nothing, and silently walked toward the interior of Vajra University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered the Buddha statue, Zhang Yu saw a world gleaming with gold—the entire sky and earth took on a uniform golden hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towering skyscrapers rose before him like overlapping mountain ranges, some standing upright, others hanging upside down above, resembling densely packed organs and tissues growing inside the statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking through this city seemingly forged of gold, Zhang Yu noticed constant advertisements popping up in his ocular implant; if he lingered on any of them for even a moment, he would be immediately redirected to platforms like Vajra Arcane Creations or Shedding Body Studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, how does this broken place have even more ads than Wanfa?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu felt as if he had walked into a restroom covered in excrement—he had to tiptoe carefully to avoid each piece of filth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Yu was complaining, another notification appeared before his eyes: an update announcement for his ocular implant—the Time-Remnant Demonic Eye urgently needed an upgrade...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For real?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of his experiences since arriving at Vajra University, Zhang Yu couldn't help asking the classmates around him, \"Did you guys receive a notification about an ocular implant update?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone shook their heads, a student from Vajra University nearby said, \"Don't click it. It's a malicious spiritual realm trap—clicking it will steal your identity data.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu turned to him, and the student immediately introduced several common traps at Vajra University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the earnest advice, Zhang Yu thought to himself, \"Could there actually be a good person here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Zhang Yu agreed to add the other party as a friend, he received a guide for Vajra University visitors that the other party had sent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when he clicked into the guide, was redirected to a platform, and saw the questions \"Which part of your body are you most satisfied with?\" and \"Which part do you most want to sell?\" he immediately blocked the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Register an account for Vajra Mystic Forge and get a Mystic Forge Relic for free...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you from Ten Thousand Methods University? Register an account for Body Shedding Studio now and get a Self-Selling Voucher...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the next stretch, Zhang Yu and his group were constantly invited to register by various Vajra University students; most of these registration ads were pulling in new users for the two platforms, Vajra Mystic Forge and Body Shedding Studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the freebies, Zhang Yu suspected there were too many pitfalls and couldn't be bothered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Zhang Yu noticed that the students of Vajra University, whether male or female, all looked very similar, especially their body types—almost exactly the same size. \"So this is Vajra University's so-called body refinement standardization?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finally finding an empty spot, a Hundred-Hand Buddha Statue beside him said, \"Buy a hand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu whirled around in surprise: \"Alive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the other party's introduction, Zhang Yu learned that this was also a body refinement student from Vajra University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled what Vajra University called master artifact forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finally finding a place to rest and regroup, Zhang Yu and his party arrived before the competition grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There they saw Chanrong and his group, who had competed against them last time, already waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu walked over slowly, his gaze clashing with Chanrong's, and waves of battle intent gradually rose in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I won a substantive victory last time, in the end it wasn't a satisfying win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, in the decisive match, I must defeat Vajra University completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"Otherwise, why would I train the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power? And how could I meet the comprehensive score ranking required for the transfer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As both sides stood still, Zhang Yu and Chanrong stared at each other, as if intangible thoughts were colliding back and forth in the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, Zhang Yu smiled and said, \"I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chanrong said calmly, \"I didn't expect to have the chance to personally eliminate Ten Thousand Methods University.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So from that perspective, my last defeat was actually a good thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then asked, \"What about Mo Shangjin? Isn't he going to play in this final moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu snorted and said, \"To deal with you Vajra University, there's no need for Old Mo. I alone am enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chanrong said, \"Really enough? Don't you want to increase your odds of victory before the match begins?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want, you can go on the second-hand physical body platform, Body Shedding Studio.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unused old Dharma Remains, old physical bodies—you can put them all up for recycling on Body Shedding Studio. On-site recycling, on-site inspection, on-site payment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu shouted angrily, \"Damn it... You Vajra University guys never let up, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chanrong snorted and said proudly, \"In immortal cultivation potential, if you don't advance, you regress. What's wrong with seizing every chance to improve yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't mention you—even if your Ten Thousand Methods University principal himself came, he'd still have to register an account before he could leave. You think you're an exception?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu cursed, \"What a load of crap. Why not say an immortal has to register an account before leaving too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chanrong said, \"You don't believe me? Add me as a friend, and I'll send you a screenshot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Yu's heart stirred and he was about to accept the friend request, Mo Shangjin's projection said, \"After this guy adds you as a friend, he can send you a hundred ads a day for you to click on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu's expression shifted. Understanding Mo Shangjin's meaning, he said, \"Friend slot: ten spirit coins each.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chanrong frowned slightly and said nothing, as if thinking something over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Zhang Yu thought he might be getting somewhere, Chanrong shook his head and said, \"You're not worth it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes, his battle intent surging even more: \"After this fight, the price won't be the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chanrong nodded and said calmly, \"After you lose, you'll have to lower the price, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the surging battle intent on both sides, the competition officially began, and both teams entered one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As both parties arrived at their respective construction sites...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition officially begins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw Chan Rong rise into the sky like a blazing sun, treading the void, surrounded by countless rays of sunlight, step by step advancing toward Zhang Yu’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Yu, I already knew before the match that you had mastered the Tiankunlun Immortal Mountain Power this month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I also know that you finished learning the Seven Ultimate Techniques of Wanfa University’s Civil Engineering Department not long ago… How strong could you possibly be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this moment, you remind me of myself last year, when I had just obtained my military license, likewise facing an opponent I could not defeat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I am giving you a chance to strike…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1883,"2026-05-29T04:54:59.518Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","d24b32522bc8f3fde7e32bfcd57abcfd0a07f82bd7c862b7a2c0e070bf1783ca","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-452","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-450",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
