Chapter 474: Warning and Spirit Root

Wen Wuya thought to herself, "It seems that the Seven Emotions Divine Lord's attitude toward the Hehuan University and the Wanfa University is even more subtle than I anticipated."

"Combined with what just happened... the Dual Cultivation Dao and the Extreme Emotion Dao indeed conflict with each other."

"So it seems that the Seven Emotions Divine Lord forbidding me from spending money on Bai Zhenzhen indeed has deeper meaning."

Wen Wuya frowned slightly at this thought, "But in that case, wouldn't Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu be doomed to fall out?"

"Then I wouldn't have the chance to cultivate with both of them, and even between the two... I could only choose one."

"Sigh, Zhang Yu is currently showing interest in me, and Bai Zhenzhen has finally been chatting with me more and more every day in the spirit realm. I thought we could practice together as three, but I never expected... Sigh, which one should I choose?"

Wen Wuya thought to herself, "Is it possible to secretly maintain a relationship with Zhang Yu while continuing to interact with Bai Zhenzhen?"

Just as a series of thoughts were flashing through Wen Wuya's mind like lightning, the voice of the Seven Emotions Divine Lord sounded again, "Eh?"

With a light snort, Wen Wuya felt a tremor in her soul within her body. Hastily composing herself, she said respectfully, "Divine Lord, I am merely interested in Wanfa University's experiments, which is why I wanted to gather first-hand intelligence."

The Seven Emotions Divine Lord said indifferently, "I don't care about your interest in Wanfa's experiments."

"But as for the matter of the three of you cultivating together, don't even think about it."

Hearing this, Wen Wuya was shocked, instantly feeling as if her body had been pierced by countless sword lights.

She thought to herself, "Has the Divine Lord been keeping an eye on me all along? Saw my recent actions and thus guessed my thoughts?"

Wen Wuya silently lamented the loss, then quickly said, "I understand, Divine Lord. I will never have such thoughts again."

"Go now."

At the command "Go," Wen Wuya felt a dazzling change before her eyes, and her entire person had already vanished from the competition grounds.

The next moment, the multicolored radiance in the spirit realm also vanished completely, and Bai Zhenzhen on the field was nowhere to be seen.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, and Wen Wuya had all left one after another, leaving only the disappointed students of Tianjian University filling the venue.

On the flying boat.

Su Yanyang, Shi Huaiyu, Xiao Yunji, and others all stood on the deck, occasionally glancing toward the cabin, full of curiosity.

Inside the cabin, the projection of the Magnetic Pole True Lord was circling Zhang Yu, continuously casting one talisman after another to conduct an examination.

After a long while, the Magnetic Pole True Lord finally said calmly, "No problems. The people from Tianjian University probably didn't leave any surveillance measures on you."

"But after you return to school, you should still go to the lab for an examination right away."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly and also expressed gratitude for the Magnetic Pole True Lord's assistance.

But then the Magnetic Pole True Lord changed the subject and said, "Have you engaged in dual cultivation with anyone from Tianjian University?"

Zhang Yu quickly shook his head and said, "How could that be?"

"I have no interest at all in dual cultivation. My entire focus during this trip to Tianjian has been on the competition."

The Magnetic Pole True Lord made no comment on that, then said calmly, "It's best that you haven't. But I still need to tell you in advance: now that you carry the laboratory's achievements, without permission, it's best not to dual cultivate with anyone. The other party may have ill intentions and take the opportunity to steal information from you."

The Magnetic Pole True Lord thought to himself that he hadn't expected this matter to keep spreading. After returning this time, he should supplement some contract details with Zhang Yu to implement the rules regarding dual cultivation.

The Magnetic Pole True Lord then asked, "Also... what exactly is your relationship with Bai Zhenzhen and Wen Wuya?"

Zhang Yu said, "Bai Zhenzhen was my high school classmate. I met Wen Wuya through Bai Zhenzhen."

"We occasionally communicate through the spirit realm network. This time, seeing that I came to Tianjian University, they wanted to meet offline in passing."

This information was not difficult to investigate, and Zhang Yu had no intention of lying.

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's answer, the Magnetic Pole True Lord said calmly, "As for that Wen Wuya, it's not impossible for you to have appropriate contact, just don't fall into her trap and reveal the laboratory's information to her."

"But as for that Bai Zhenzhen, you'd better not have any more contact with her."

Zhang Yu was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

The Magnetic Pole True Lord explained, "The Seven Emotions Divine Lord is a master of the evil path. Her Seven Emotions Sword Dao can still be considered orthodox, but the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao is a top-tier evil technique."

"Unless one can achieve Nascent Soul transformation early like the Seven Emotions Divine Lord, otherwise... practitioners of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao go against the common sense of contemporary society, violate public order and good customs, and find it hard to be tolerated between heaven and earth."

"It can be said to harm both oneself and others, leaving endless calamity."

Magnetic Polarity True Lord looked at Zhang Yu and said solemnly, "So the Seven Emotions Divine Lord hasn't taken any disciples for a long time, and none of her previous disciples met a good end."

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, thinking of Bai Zhenzhen... He couldn't help pressing further, "What kind of end?"

Magnetic Polarity True Lord said calmly, "Of the two I've seen... one was eventually refined by the Seven Emotions Divine Lord into her own life-bound flying sword."

Zhang Yu's heart sank, and the mana inside him couldn't help stirring slightly.

"The other one killed his wife, slaughtered his son, and beheaded his grandson, solely because his family members were not blood-related; he destroyed his own assets and bankrupted himself."

Zhang Yu was momentarily stunned, unsure what to say.

Magnetic Polarity True Lord advised, "So cultivators who get involved with the Extreme Emotion Sword Path rarely end well. I don't know what kind of entanglements of interests and debts you have with Bai Zhenzhen from the past."

"But I advise you, if you owe her money, it's best to repay it quickly and then never contact her again."

"If she owes you money, if it's a small amount, forget it; if it's a large amount... hurry up and get it back, as much as you can."

"From now on, don't meet with Bai Zhenzhen again."
