MTLNOVEL Chapter 163 Meng Yu's Anger……
Changdong Minor World.
"I apologize for any inconvenience, teachers. If there's anything you need, we will resolve it as quickly as possible,"
Zhuge Caihua respectfully bowed to the several Foundation Building Cultivators.
"We will do our best, and we won't leave the Great Formation at all. You should be careful too. Return to the Great Formation before the Spiritual Qi Tide arrives,"
Seven months had passed since Meng Yu posted his message.
On the forums, discussions about the werewolf game rules of Changdong Minor World, oh no, the experimental rules manual, had already reached the thirteenth version.
The Changdong Minor World was not a suitable place for marriage, especially since Meng Yu's loud hawking resulted in cameras all over the room and people crowding the windows.
According to Master Lihua's true intentions, after Zhuge Caihua made contact with Meng Yu, the two should have just eloped. The love story of Changdong Minor World should be taken as a joke. She prepared a starship for them—when the time came, they could defect to a Minor World outside the domain, become heroes, unite the world, and then follow the path of the Son of Heavenly Way, which would be much more convenient than the current situation.
These Foundation Builders were here to ensure Zhuge Caihua's safety and to assist Meng Yu when necessary.
Firstly, Meng Yu had said no other Foundation Builders, Golden Core Masters, or even Nascent Souls should come over, but he had privately explained to everyone that their Foundation Builders and Golden Core Masters could come, provided they remained within their own Great Formation and did not venture out. If he saw them, it would be a strike of his sword.
After all, under normal circumstances, Meng Yu could still distinguish friend from foe, but what if during the Spiritual Qi Tide, the limitations of the Minor World were lifted from First Grade to Second Grade?
The Spiritual Qi Tide, like ocean waves, swelled up at certain times, breaking through restrictions. Meng Yu was invincible in the Qi Refinement Realm, but what if his opponents, a few people who were in Foundation Establishment, could exert their full power?
Secondly, when a family has a daughter to marry, many suitors come knocking, let alone under these circumstances. Despite everyone's best efforts to guard against it, there were still many spies and people with ulterior motives who had infiltrated the Changdong Minor World.
What would happen if those fragile Foundation Builders covertly hid until a short Spiritual Qi Tide or when the entire world elevated in grade for a long time and then emerged to cause destruction and kill?

The students' countermeasure was to construct camps at nine points within the area designated by Meng Yu while simultaneously building defensive Great Formations.
Ordinarily, they didn't need to worry about safety. As favored individuals in the Qi Refinement Realm, they would act in groups of five. Unless they encountered a freak like Meng Yu, they would be safe.
During the Spiritual Qi Tide, everyone would return to the Great Formation. Not only were they protected by the Formation, but the Foundation Building Cultivators stationed there, having restored their Cultivation, were also able to act fully and ensure everyone's safety.
Everyone was most concerned about the groom, Meng Yu. It would be embarrassing if someone attacked him.
"Cai Hua, you need to talk to Meng Yu and tell him to be cautious. When the Spiritual Qi Tide comes, he can join us in our Formation. It's the safest place,"
In Zhuge Caihua's camp, there were a total of twelve Foundation Builders. They were Master Lihua's subordinates and naturally reliable in their loyalty.
"Understood, I'll talk to him again,"
Zhuge Caihua expressed helplessness. Although she had contacted Meng Yu, he rarely chatted with others, and even after hearing the intelligence summary, he often just said a couple of words.
He had his principles. Do not act recklessly on your own.
Alright then.
...
Meng Yu had not spoken for eight months.
Yet, his influence only grew stronger.
Knowledge is power, knowledge is influence.
The nine comprehensive blueprints, plus the ninety-two detailed construction drawings, and various documents and explanations contained countless treasures. Penglai University had spent hundreds of billions to push forward the Son of Heavenly Way project, and now, any major player who came up with a corresponding plan could mobilize vast resources.
The Immortal Sect had accumulated countless funds during the peaceful millennia, with large sums sitting idle in fiscal accounts, lacking suitable projects, even given away at times.
Now, many had begun exploring new avenues through research on the drawings and questions provided by Meng Yu, developing new commercial applications and making lots of money.
But the more they researched and profited, they became like travelers in a desert thirstier after finding a cup of water.
For the information Meng Yu had disclosed often concealed core parts, and these were usually the insights of Nascent Souls and Divinity Transformations, incredibly difficult to figure out.
Okay, that was fine, but who would have thought that the first of the thirty-four questions Meng Yu posed would be solved by a member of the Blood God Sect? They even boasted about it, claiming that this is what the Immortal Sect truly was.
"He's still only browsing the forums, not posting?"
A Golden Core Master responsible for monitoring furrowed his brow.
"Yes,"
The technician provided a definitive answer.
"Did he see our messages?"
"He clicked on them, but did not respond."
"What about others?"
"The same, he only reads but does not reply."
...
Meng Yu was using his new personal terminal (for safety) to check the situation on the network.
The concerns of Zhuge Caihua were actually those of Bai Qianqian as well. The reason she insisted on following him, aside from worrying about Meng Yu encountering trouble during his heists, was her fear that Meng Yu might meet with an accident when the Spiritual Qi Tide rose.
Meng Yu had never told her the specifics of Void Shifting, but she could deduce that the ability had a cooldown time.
Every time Meng Yu visited the Immortal Sect and then returned, there was an interval of at least a few hours. Not everything in the storage bag was used up; for example, changes in the Spirit Turtle and the loss of spiritual energy in the remaining Spirit Fruits and Vegetables allowed her to estimate the difference in the flow of time between the two places.
One hundred to one.
As long as you spend day and night with someone, and they are your mentor, it's hard to keep things hidden.
This couldn't be explained by just Void Shifting, but Bai Qianqian didn't think to probe further. She was just worried about Meng Yu, who was walking a tightrope.
Alright, the Foundation Building Cultivators really were a problem, but now… with Bai Qianqian's arrival, Meng Yu didn't need to use his original plan.
With Bai Qianqian's help, Meng Yu could do much better in many things.
Before the Spiritual Qi Tide, she was a Qi Refinement Practitioner; after the tide, she became a Foundation Building Pinnacle, and she also possessed the divine sense and knowledge of a Golden Core Expert.
Having discarded the old plan, Meng Yu decided to adopt a more aggressive one.
He clicked on the first message of thirty-four questions, which had been solved by the Blood God Sect from beyond the domain.
The answer was very good, and Bai Qianqian said it was truly excellent.
Good deeds deserve rewards.
Meng Yu gave a like to the response, then wrote (copied) a review based on Bai Qianqian's feedback, and proactively added the other party as a friend to start a private conversation.
"I am Meng Yu. I found similar ideas to your problem-solving method in an internal database, in the book with the serial number Bing Ding 234578754. I wonder if that's correct?"
"Yes, but that book is an incomplete and abridged version. Mr. Meng, you are really impressive. Our ideas are the same, but it's the details that are truly difficult."
"Well, speaking of details, there's actually room for improvement. For instance, when summoning the soul, one could use a triple-layer folding circuit. This idea is available in the book published online with serial number Jia Yi 145723375643, and by combining the concept on page fifty-four, image two, from the book with serial number Jia Xin 165774655, one can find an even better approach."
Meng Yu's response was very polite, and the other party replied promptly.
"Please continue, I'm listening. Mr. Meng, it seems you have a certain understanding of the Blood River Divine Technique? Also, we've heard of you for a long time, and we'd be very happy to have you over."
"I saw a bit about your sect at the Enforcement Hall concerning the utilization of souls, which is quite ingenious, so I checked out a few books. My Fire Crow Sword Technique involves Sword Sacrifice, which can actually correspond with the Blood River Divine Sword."
Meng Yu exchanged pleasantries with the other side and then sent over a document.
The Jade Rabbit Family had also encountered a powerhouse of the Demonic Path before. The knowledge of the other party was very useful for research, so Bai Qianqian took out some harm-free techniques.
"These are some immature thoughts of mine, but thank you anyway."
"What's this document? Let me see… Why is it empty inside?"
The party sent a highly puzzled expression, followed by immense fury the next moment.
"Star Industrial Company, how dare you privately replace my file? Do you have a death wish?"
The other party was ranting, and Meng Yu chose not to interrupt.
Indeed, while the Immortal Sect maintained diplomatic relations with the Blood God Sect, there were constant friction between them. Now Meng Yu was generously sending over information; what if there was something sensitive in it?
To be aware, after Meng Yu's plan was revealed, many moralists in the Immortal Sect vehemently criticized him. Such cultivation techniques could potentially kill countless people.
To become a planetary hero and have the chance to become the Son of Heavenly Way, that's possible, right? If the Immortal Sect couldn't do it, then in other Minor Worlds, one could create opportunities. First, plunge a Minor World into crisis, then have someone rescue it, making some individuals planetary heroes, and so on. Isn't that tantamount to sacrificing a world to achieve personal success?
Such sensitive technology should be under the supervision of the Immortal Sect and so forth.
Pah.
"How about I resend it once more?"
The document wasn't large, just over a hundred thousand words, along with some images, and Bai Qianqian strictly followed Meng Yu's instructions, keeping to the point and letting go of what could be let out. In simple terms, like a bikini-clad beauty, she concealed the key points while displaying the allure.
But now it seemed the Immortal Sect was still quite tense, feeling that this information should not have spread outside.
Then, Meng Yu sent the document once again, only to be restricted once more, showing that the file transfer failed.
At this point, Meng Yu was genuinely angry.
Have you forgotten how I brought down the Star Industrial Company?
My freedom of speech was never a privilege bestowed by the Immortal Sect but something I fought for.
