Chapter 1251 - 815: Immortal Connections Are All for Profit, Work Injury Curse (10/10)_2

Zhan Xian said, "I once heard someone say that the Old Graveyard originally had a large area as a cemetery."

"But with the advancement of Immortal Dao Technology, Kunxu increasingly developed various ways to utilize corpses, and so it gradually transformed from a cemetery into a marketplace, and even birthed more factories and office areas nearby..."

Zhan Xian lamented, "The place once meant for burial finally became a recycling and trading ground. People lost all respect and reverence for corpses, treating the various materials from the human body purely as commodities."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, looking at the old sign in front of him, thinking to himself: "So... this sign might be the original cemetery sign, later possibly covered by Spirit Realm information due to its construction."

"Now with the Spirit Realm losing connection here, it allows people to see this nostalgic sign."

"So... why did the ancestors’ corpses lead us here?"

Zhan Xian analyzed, "If we consider the intent of the ancestors’ corpses as the master’s intent, then perhaps it’s a reminder."

"He hopes future generations won’t become like the Comforting Spirit Garden, complacently viewing corpses as materials and equipment and instead remember their identity as humans and the significance of this cemetery."

"The significance of the cemetery?" Zhang Yu’s gaze sharpened slightly, "Are we talking about the way corpses are handled?"

Zhan Xian said, "Choosing how to treat corpses is not about the corpses themselves, but about maintaining the boundary between ’human’ and ’object’ within one’s heart while dealing long-term with this ’human-derived material,’ preventing oneself from completely slipping into the abyss of the Demon Path while pursuing strength and wealth."

At that moment, the feeling from the ancestors’ corpses once again came, and this time Zhang Yu distinctly heard a voice calling from the other side.

"Come find me, let’s see how you handle this."

Zhang Yu was slightly startled, surprised inside: "The Immortal’s corpse is speaking? Is the True Spirit of this ancestor’s corpse awake? Can it still manipulate the corpse to move?"

Recalling what the other side said, Zhang Yu stated: "He is saying... us? Who is this ’us’?"

Zhan Xian said, "If the True Spirit has the ability to act but deliberately hides away and does not directly contact us to provide Cave Heaven Power... maybe it’s trying to test us? And if this is a test, then this ’us’ refers to both the person who set the test and the person reviewing the test results."

Zhang Yu’s eyes moved: "A test? Is Yingxin Heaven watching us as well?"

Zhan Xian said, "I don’t think our master."

Zhan Xian explained, "From what is currently known, the memories of the Great War of Righteous and Demonic, and based on some information I know, the initial seniors who utilized the Demon Path... they do not wish to see Kunxu in its current state."

"And quite a few of them should still be alive today."

Zhang Yu heard this, and his heart was shocked. He suddenly raised his head: "Are you saying... they’re watching us?"

Zhan Xian said, "These people, although lacking courage and determination to participate in the master’s actions, probably sympathize with the master’s plight."

"This is... the master’s human connections, no... it should be the Immortal Vein."

"This Immortal Vein might surpass Dao Seed, Cave Heaven, and is the greatest legacy left by the master to his successor."

"Perhaps it is this very Immortal Vein that preserved the Maze Realm until now."

Zhang Yu heard this and took a deep breath, looking at the sky distorted by layers of space in Maze Realm, his thoughts fluctuating.

Just then, Great Sage Huang Niu said, "If some higher existences are observing, that is quite normal."

"Everything about Kunxu can’t escape the influence of the Taoist Inheritance, nor can it separate from the intentions of higher-ups."

"Every change happens because the higher-ups desire it, every transformation is driven by the Taoist Inheritance."

Zhang Yu sighed in his heart: "If that’s the case, what is the significance of our choices and efforts."

Great Sage Huang Niu said, "It is significant as long as all Taoist Inheritances aren’t controlled by one person, as long as the Ten Great Immortal Emperors can’t control all the lost Taoist Inheritances throughout history, as long as there’s still conflict among the Immortals, unable to unite together..."

"Then under the influence of countless Taoist Inheritances, choosing which one to align with, which mountain to join, becomes our independent will."

"By leveraging the influence of the Taoist Inheritance, utilizing the help from upper echelons, delivering them benefits to exchange for rising opportunities, and amidst various conflicts... climbing up, reaching higher, establishing one’s own Taoist Inheritance, holds the potential to change the world."

"This Immortal Road, a path of one life and ten deaths, countless people have fallen along the way, countless people have given up halfway, and some have climbed up but forgotten their original intention..."

"The future of this path is uncertain, we are not the first, nor we would be the last, all we can do is persevere."

...

Kunxu, unknown higher echelons.

A young voice echoed: "A hidden place left by Brother Ying had an unusual movement, indicating his chosen heir might have entered."

"Let’s see the messages coming from within together."

Another female voice spoke: "What’s there to see, Brother Ying has already been defeated, utterly, Kunxu can’t be reverted."

The young voice replied: "Since Brother wants us to see, then let’s have a look, see if this heir has any remarkable qualities."

The female voice said: "Even if promising now, who knows how much hidden personal agendas might be carried? Maybe after rising, he’ll just become another Taizhen, possibly a tool for others to seize Brother’s Taoist Inheritance."
