You dare to cultivate without money?!

Looking at the three towering figures before him, Zhang Yu was suddenly taken aback, recalling the moment when he got the orb and his mental exchange with Fu Ji.

When she saw the orb left behind by Wuying's death, Fu Ji roughly guessed what this thing was.

"This guy was able to manipulate the power of the Spirit Realm just now, partly because the Unemployed Elder hijacked the Spirit Realm in and out of the University City, and partly because of this orb, right?"

"The techniques used by Yuhua Sect and the Unemployed Sect to hijack the Spirit Realm probably also relate to this thing."

Many memories flashed through Fu Ji's mind, and she sighed to herself: "Born from the shadows of the Spirit Realm, hiding in the darkness of the Spirit Realm, a mental world belonging to the Evil Gods—the Dark Spirit Realm."

"I didn't expect those guys actually managed to create it in the end."

"This time, it also allowed the Yuhua Sect and the Unemployed Sect to hijack the Spirit Realm Network over at Wanfa University City using the technology of the Dark Spirit Realm."

After Zhang Yu grasped the orb tightly, Fu Ji tried to communicate with the power within it and further confirmed her suspicion.

"Indeed, it's the Dark Spirit Realm."

"However, for an ordinary Demon Sect believer to use this, it's mostly for communication and perhaps to manipulate some power of the Spirit Realm."

"And I..."

Fu Ji quickly deciphered the Dark Spirit Realm information contained within the orb, becoming increasingly excited.

"Through this Dark Spirit Realm information, I can communicate with the Evil Gods who created it."

Thinking of this, Fu Ji couldn't wait to immediately start the operation.

However, doing so would make her unable to pay attention to the outside world due to her mental connection with the Dark Spirit Realm, making it difficult to maintain communication with Zhang Yu, who would easily notice something amiss.

At the same time, as if sensing Fu Ji's anomaly, Zhang Yu asked, "Fu Ji, what is this thing?"

If it were the old Fu Ji, she wouldn't have hesitated one bit, directly deceiving Zhang Yu to conceal this method of communicating with the Evil Gods.

But at this moment, thinking of Zhang Pianpian backing Zhang Yu, her current relationship with Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu's recent battle with Yu Xinghan and Shi Huaiyu...

Fu Ji mused in her heart: "This guy has Zhang Pianpian's technical support; if he asks for help from Zhang Pianpian later and discovers my little tricks, the hard-won bit of trust will be gone again."

"This kid's trust... is still somewhat useful."

"Damn it... being around this kid for so long, I've become wishy-washy too?"

"No, I'm not wishy-washy, I'm just using a method that this kid can accept to gain his trust, so I can later reap him hard because according to my observations, the best way to reap this kid is to earn his trust!"

With that thought, Fu Ji explained her discovery.

Zhang Yu was surprised: "Is the Dark Spirit Realm also a part of the Spirit Realm? Can it be considered a secret chamber within the Spirit Realm? A hidden passage? A secret channel? But only the Evil Gods know the password and can pass through, as if secretly leveraging the True God's Spirit Realm to achieve their aims."

Fu Ji replied: "Something like that; you can think of it this way. I'm about to use the Dark Spirit Realm to communicate with the Evil Gods. If you're worried, you can join me."

Zhang Yu asked, "Is it dangerous?"

Fu Ji smiled: "This original divine technology of the Dark Spirit Realm... owes a part of its achievements to me."

"Or should I say, I should probably be considered one of the founders of this Dark Spirit Realm."

"It's just a pity I didn't live to see the day it was completed; I was betrayed by someone..."

"Hehe, my old friends are probably in a higher layer of the Dark Spirit Realm right now. I wonder if I can meet any acquaintances in this second layer of Kunxu's Dark Spirit Realm."

As she spoke, Zhang Yu, already pulled by Fu Ji, passed through layers of the Spirit Realm, arriving at a void deep within—a place that could be called the Dark Spirit Realm.

In the deepest part of this Dark Spirit Realm, three figures were surrounding an ancient wooden round table.

They seemed to have been engaged in some sort of conversation, but turned their heads simultaneously when Fu Ji and Zhang Yu arrived.

The three giant figures were towering, each with a peculiar appearance.

One figure appeared to be composed of countless limbs, each covered in eyes, presently all staring at Fu Ji, slowly speaking: "Oh? Who would have thought we'd have new visitors today?"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu's heart sank, speaking internally to Fu Ji: "Are these three Evil Gods the ones behind the Demon Sect?"

Fu Ji responded: "They should be part of the ones behind the scenes."

"The Evil Gods might be funding the Demon Sect or converting some Demon Sect followers into their believers, granting them ritual power."

"But apart from the Evil Gods, there should be others behind the scenes."

At this moment, the consciousness of Fu Ji and Zhang Yu converged, transforming into a scarecrow-like figure made of ragged cloth, buttons, straw, and seam lines within the Dark Spirit Realm.

That's how they appeared after entering the Dark Spirit Realm.

Facing the Evil God before him, Zhang Yu naturally said nothing, leaving all communication to Fu Ji.

"Visitor?"

Fu Ji, in the form of a ragged dummy, gave a sneer and walked to the round table. With a wave of her hand, an ancient chair floated before her.

Seeing how easily Fu Ji materialized items in the Dark Spirit Realm, the three Evil Gods were all astonished.

Fu Ji casually sat on the chair and looked at the three Evil Gods, saying: "You may call me Fushen, one of the founding gods of the Dark Spirit Realm."

If it were in the Spirit Realm or the real world, Fu Ji wouldn't dare be so high-key or approach other Evil Gods so easily.

But the Dark Spirit Realm is different. On the one hand, being familiar with the underlying theological architecture of the Dark Spirit Realm allows Fu Ji to hide her information more effectively here.

On the other hand, Fu Ji knows a crucial point: the reason the Dark Spirit Realm was created was to have a place where Evil Gods could safely communicate.

This is a secure zone where mutual attacks and battles are impossible.

Seeing Fu Ji summon a chair and hearing her words, the three Evil Gods remained silent, seemingly pondering the truth of it, using their channels to verify the accuracy of this information.

Nevertheless, the current Fu Ji became more mysterious and unfathomable in their eyes.

Fu Ji continued, "Are you three meeting here because of Wanfa University City?"

The Evil God with a thousand hands and feet said, "Xi Shen, you can call me that."

Xi Shen continued, "Fushen, are you interested in Wanfa University as well?"

Fu Ji replied casually, "Who knows? Anyway, if I were to make a move on University City, I'd definitely attack the 666th floor first."

Another figure composed of colorful light asked, "Why?"

Seeing Fu Ji's gaze, this colorful light said, "You can call me Xiang Shen."

Fu Ji smiled faintly, "Don't you know? The 666th floor is where the Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Monarch stores his physical bodies. There are quite a few bodies he bought at a high price."

"Snatching just one could provide precious intelligence from the brains of these bodies."

Sensing the surge of thoughts within the Dark Spirit Realm, Fu Ji seemed to perceive the three Evil Gods secretly whispering and chatting.

And indeed, the three Evil Gods were communicating secretly.

"To generate items so easily in the Dark Spirit Realm, this Fushen must either be at a founder level or at least among the most senior tier."

"The 666th floor of Wanfa University City is where the Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Monarch stores bodies? No wonder it's completely blocked off, forbidden to enter, rendering it impossible to gather any intelligence."

"This Fushen can even know such confidential information; it seems she has been planning within Wanfa University City for a long time, possibly converting an important cultivator into her believer."

"Does this mean our current actions have hindered her years of planning, and that's why she's here to demand an explanation?"

"Is she here to demand compensation? Hmph, even if she's a veteran, that's not reasonable."

Possessing profound technical prowess and an enigmatic intelligence network, Fu Ji became increasingly inscrutable in the eyes of the three Evil Gods.

Though unaware of what the three Evil Gods were discussing, Fu Ji continued, "Or are you interested in the Divinity Transformation Remains of Qiongjiang Divine Monarch? After all, it's the catalyst capable of inciting a university war; I'd be interested too."

Xi Shen with a thousand eyes and feet said indifferently, "Fushen, are you also knowledgeable about the Divinity Transformation Remains?"

Fu Ji leaned back, her hands resting behind her head on the chair, speaking nonchalantly, "The Magic Remains of Qiongjiang Divine Monarch were stolen and circulated, with one piece reaching the lab at Wanfa University. It's not really a secret, right?"

"But whom do you intend to attack? The Magnetic Pole? Tian Zhang? Or that student's experimental subject?"

The colorful Xiang Shen flickered, emitting waves of light: "Naturally, the student's experimental subject is the easiest to deal with."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was slightly alarmed, thinking, "Is this Evil God targeting me?"

Fu Ji chuckled, "Simple, but what does an experimental subject know? He probably doesn't even understand whose Magic Remains he studies or which forces they belong to."

Xiang Shen, surrounded by colorful light, said coldly, "Oh? Then do you think we should target the Magnetic Pole? Or cause trouble for Tian Zhang?"

Fu Ji snorted coldly, "The Magnetic Pole is the most promising candidate to become the fourth Divinity Transformation Cultivator within Wanfa University in 20 years. How much would it cost to deal with her? It's not worth it."

"Tian Zhang is a professor in the Talisman Department. If there are any issues within Wanfa University's Spirit Realm, he would be among the first to sense it, having already prepared for it. You won't find a chance to deal with him."

Xiang Shen's colorful light shifted and coldly said, "Neither this nor that works, so what do you suggest?"

Fu Ji chuckled softly, saying, "It seems your believers at Wanfa University are not of high rank, not deeply familiar with the intricacies of the university."

"If you want to target the lab, the best target is undoubtedly Feng Yuhai at the research department."
