Especially after each breakthrough in realm, the Chain Diagram would manifest new sets tailored to the techniques of the new realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, from the High School Saint Body at the Qi Refining realm to the University Saint Body at the Foundation Establishment realm, each allowed Zhang Yu to continually benefit within their corresponding realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to put it? This might be the confidence of a genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there were also set effects of certain Chain Diagrams that, in Zhang Yu’s view, had already transcended the limitations of realms—such as the improvement in learning and production efficiency from the Forging Genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toppling Kunlun gave him that same feeling. For example, the first-layer effect of Toppling Kunlun was that the Earth-Wood Seven Extremes doubled their effectiveness in destroying and altering the environment, without any description of an upper limit not exceeding the peak of a certain realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, after the 8th martial art required for Toppling Kunlun also reached level 20, the second-layer effect emerged, further confirming Zhang Yu’s judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Superior·Toppling Kunlun (8\u002F8): The gravitational changes induced by the Earth-Wood Seven Extremes can be maintained for a prolonged period, with duration increasing as more mana is invested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this second-layer effect, Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, “Prolonged maintenance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhang Yu pinched his five fingers, accompanied by the operation of the Divine Power of Kunlun Moving Mountains, strands of earthly gravitational force rose within his palm, coalescing into a gravitational orb floating in the air, continuously emitting waves of suction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In subsequent experiments, Zhang Yu discovered that even when he stopped the operation of the Divine Power of Kunlun Moving Mountains, the gravitational orb continued to function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even left the flying vessel, flew far away, and moved the gravitational orb well beyond his control range… but when he returned, the orb was still active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s almost as if it has become a natural phenomenon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself, “But there’s still a time limit—it dissipates after about half an hour.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, if I inject more mana, the duration can be extended.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This second-layer effect… combined with the first-layer doubling of environmental change and destruction, has many wonderful uses whether for work or combat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For work, a single move can produce effects that would take days or even weeks, greatly increasing cost-effectiveness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And for combat, if given enough time to set up, I can create a battlefield environment that gives me a huge advantage, or unleash a burst of devastating killing power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his eyes flickered, countless inspirations surged through Zhang Yu’s mind, making him even more eager for the third-layer effect of Toppling Kunlun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, if Kunxu could teach according to individual aptitude, why would I still not have entered a sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The problem is still the current education system—it only knows exams, only cares about scores, only recognizes certificates, and that limits my potential.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Zhang Yu continued cultivating the immortal sect technique Palm Kunlun, executing the three moves repeatedly. Although the leveling speed slowed after level 20, it was still rocket-like compared to cultivators of the same realm. In a flash, he broke through to level 21, pushing this technique into the Golden Core realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, countless understandings of Palm Kunlun flooded into Zhang Yu’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each upgrade of Palm Kunlun made the technique’s power greater, and the degree to which he could absorb, magnify, or shrink objects increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having now pushed the technique into the Golden Core realm, he felt that with full activation, he could enclose the entire flying vessel within his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thrust out his palm, and a nearby desk instantly flew toward him with a swoosh, rapidly shrinking to the size of a thumb and falling into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterward, he activated Offspring of the Immortal, and the thumb-sized desk disappeared into the space he had opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offspring of the Immortal could open a 10-cubic-meter space. Because it was related to the authority of immortals, Zhang Yu called this space the Immortal Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the entrance to the Immortal Space could be opened on Zhang Yu’s body, but it could only maintain an area of 30 square centimeters—roughly the size of a fist—making it impossible to store much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as Zhang Yu’s level in Palm Kunlun increased, granting the ability to shrink and enlarge matter, the 30-square-centimeter limitation was directly broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the desk inside the Immortal Space remain thumb-sized, Zhang Yu nodded in satisfaction. “Good. After entering the Immortal Space, my Palm Kunlun can still operate continuously.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This effectively increases the entrance size and volume of the Immortal Space by hundreds or even thousands of times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu had a feeling that Palm Kunlun, combined with the self-contained technique of Offspring of the Immortal, was truly the complete form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Zhang Yu could sense that under this operation, Palm Kunlun needed to be maintained constantly, continuously consuming his mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself, “With my current mana, I cannot store a large amount of shrunken materials in the Immortal Space for long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, he withdrew the operation of Palm Kunlun, and the desk inside the Immortal Space instantly returned to its original size, taking up considerable volume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu mused, “For now, storing shrunken items in the Immortal Space is only suitable for temporary use. If something needs to be stored for a long time, it’s best not to shrink it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The most useful application of the Immortal Space is definitely smuggling and theft.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second is its enhancement in combat…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mental command, twenty-four Taihao Sacred Law flying swords shot toward him from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with a single palm strike, the twenty-four swords, mixed with the surrounding air, swam into his palm like twenty-four fish and were then swallowed whole by the Immortal Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the Palm Kunlun plus the Immortal Space, my defensive capabilities have reached another peak. As long as my spiritual power isn't exhausted, I can block all kinds of attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the Immortal Space is too conspicuous, and I can't use it easily in public.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Zhang Yu also knew that with the world in chaos and the True Gods gone, there would inevitably be opportunities for him to use the Immortal Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Zhang Yu’s eyes flickered. Using the set effect of Inverted Kunlun, he first unleashed a Gravity Cluster, then stored it into the Immortal Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Gravity Cluster continuously operating within the Immortal Space, still running after being stacked repeatedly, Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"This way, I can use the Immortal Space to charge up in advance. If I charge it for a few days, how many at the same cultivation level could withstand a single blow from me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, countless brilliant ideas flooded Zhang Yu's mind. He felt that there were still many synergistic uses among the Sky Kunlun Mountain-Shifting Divine Power, Inverted Kunlun, Palm Kunlun, and Immortal Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered, his mind involuntarily recalled the scene of his battle with Dao Qiankun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Zhang Yu had pushed Palm Kunlun to Level 21, he increasingly felt how formidable Dao Qiankun had been in that battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both involved spatial techniques, but back then, Brother Dao's martial arts were more comprehensive. Compared to me now, he was also more effortless and unfathomably profound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to Sister, Brother Dao was not a true immortal; he merely obtained an immortal's memories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But just by giving him this memory, the immortal allowed Brother Dao to hold his own against Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators for a time while at the Foundation Establishment stage. He even nearly captured me after breaking through to Golden Core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder if Brother Dao will really return after three years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Zhang Yu plunged himself back into cultivation with full focus. An hour later, he pushed Palm Kunlun to Level 24.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the avatar of the Pole Magnetic Divine Lord finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this avatar's support, the flying boat squadrons of the Heavenly Sword and Ten Thousand Methods stopped hiding and headed together toward the school, leaving long trails of air currents under the Blood Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu paid no attention to this. He continued to devote himself single-mindedly to cultivation, pushing Palm Kunlun further to Levels 25, 26... 30!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after Zhang Yu pushed Palm Kunlun to Level 30, he was summoned by the Pole Magnetic Divine Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the scene, Zhang Yu discovered that Wen Wuyai and Bai Zhenzhen had also broken through to the Golden Core stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon inquiry, he learned that a newly promoted Nascent Soul from Heavenly Sword University had sent word everywhere and also issued Golden Core certificates to Wen Wuyai and Bai Zhenzhen, allowing them to use the collected arena resources to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the two groups of students from the Ten Thousand Methods and Heavenly Sword before him, the Pole Magnetic Divine Lord said: \"On the way back, we happen to pass by a factory invested in by our Ten Thousand Methods University. This factory was originally maintained by True Gods and Soul Cultivators, a fully automated unmanned factory that produced many resources needed for Golden Core cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now that the True Gods have vanished and the connection with Soul Cultivators is severed, this factory has ceased operation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've just received word that a group of wild Golden Core cultivators have taken over the factory, opened the warehouse, and are looting the immortal cultivation resources inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pole Magnetic Divine Lord sighed as he spoke: \"Without the True Gods, some people have become like beasts unchained. Especially after the moon was hijacked by an evil god, some have been encouraged to burn, kill, and loot everywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now not only are the university's various factories and warehouses under attack, but the efficiency of logistics convoys is also declining. Every trip requires armed escorts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pole Magnetic Divine Lord could sense that with the world in chaos, the efficiency of the entire society was continually decreasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, the Pole Magnetic Divine Lord swept his gaze over the people present and said flatly: \"Since you've all become Golden Cores, I plan to send some of you to clear out this factory along the way and recover the resources. Who among you is willing to go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the students present responded. Some were still at Foundation Establishment, others had just broken through to Golden Core and only wanted to continue developing safely and improving their cultivation. Who would be willing to fight against other Golden Core cultivators?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially now that the True Gods' connection was severed, death meant no re-entering the Spirit World to become a Soul Cultivator. To many, death was truly the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the cost of death infinitely raised, the prodigies before him were even more reluctant to take risks lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting and killing? How could that compare to the peace of mind of returning to the university city to cultivate steadily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the Pole Magnetic Divine Lord's piercing gaze, Ye Xingli forced herself to ask: \"How many of them are there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pole Magnetic Divine Lord said calmly: \"About twenty or thirty Golden Cores.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xingli immediately took a step back and said: \"Teacher, I'm just a streamer. I can do product placements, promotions, or research, but fighting is really not my forte.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Pole Magnetic Divine Lord's gaze sweep over, Yan Qianji quickly said: \"I just broke through to Golden Core and still need to consolidate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the Pole Magnetic Divine Lord's stare, Wen Wuyai said: \"Now that the True Gods are gone, we can't enter the Spirit World after death. I think dealing with Golden Core true cultivators would require at least Nascent Soul-level power to be reliable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan said: \"I'm just a massage therapist. How would I know how to fight? Isn't Zhang Yu the strongest undergraduate? Would he be willing to go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu waved his hand and said: \"I just broke through to Golden Core. I need at least two or three more years to settle before I can go to the battlefield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu was now the disciple of two Nascent Souls, an unfathomably talented strongest undergraduate, with so many potentials yet to be realized. Naturally, he wasn't willing to go to the battlefield to fight other Golden Core true cultivators easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu had made up his mind: he would never go to the battlefield until he pushed his cultivation to a point where it could not be elevated any further. After all, he was no longer the poverty-stricken fool who had to risk everything for an exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu, who had just broken through to Golden Core, was unwilling to risk fighting, and the other students around him clearly felt the same.\u003C\u002Fp>",2148,"2026-05-29T04:55:10.865Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","f47dca51eefc024550a3c5cd199478deb4ff45a599ae14ae83464f26ba1ca0e2","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-662","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-660",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
