Chapter 311 Walking on the Knife's Edge_2
The Bamboo Fairy was already panicking when she heard that Meng Yu had fled to Ceres. Her only thought was, "What is this guy planning?"
"Is he planning to make a big move on Ceres, using six hundred Golden Cores to launch a sudden attack?"
That was the idea of the Bamboo Fairy.
"Is he really planning to outright buy the Blood Sea Great Formation?"
That was the thought of the Tea Fairy.
Even now, a group of elites locked in a tiny dark room were desperately calculating how much Meng Yu could actually achieve there.
For instance, he had been traveling for eight months, which completely allowed him to run an enormous buffet, continuously jumping with the Golden Cores of Immortal Sect to raid, attacking one Third Grade and even Fourth Grade planets of the Blood God Sect, spreading the flames of war throughout the Milky Way.
For instance, he had allied with the Blood God Sect, obtained the Blood Sea Array Chart, and then turned all six hundred Golden Cores into War Souls and so on.
Even... he might continue forward, heading to Guanghan Palace, and there...
"This news is three days old. Could their side have anticipated that the Blood God Sect would also guess this possibility? I just want to ask you, what exactly... what exactly is going on? Could Meng Yu's identity be discovered?"
The three Nascent Souls were quite helpless.
Everyone knew that Meng Yu was audaciously reckless, but who could have anticipated he would be this audaciously reckless? So then, how should this situation be resolved?
Thinking of dozens of different possibilities, everyone felt a tingling fear about the future.
Qian Qian looked at Zhuge Caihua, Zhuge Caihua looked at Qian Qian, both wanted to say something, but in the end, they just shook their heads.
"We don't know if it is him. Ah Yu didn't tell us the plan. You all need a bit more patience. If that person is Ah Yu, then... I can secretly tell you a secret,"
Qian Qian said.
"What secret?"
The three Nascent Souls held their breath, waiting for the mystery to be unveiled.
Everyone suspected that Meng Yu still had an ace up his sleeve, but they couldn't guess what it was.
"I can't say, but he has a trump card, a very powerful one. If you all are a bit more patient, you'll see,"
Qian Qian thought for a moment and sincerely replied.
"Also, if it is him, make sure you keep it confidential. His abilities are many times stronger than you can imagine."
...
Old Man Sui and the others left, but security in the community was strengthened.
Meng Yu looked at the gate and noticed several Golden Cores surrounding the area, not to confine Meng Yu, but to protect him, and someone even came specifically to explain.
The Blood God Sect is an Orthodox Sect. They believe in Xiao Jun's explanation, but the people down below are unreliable. There might be Golden Cores or Nascent Souls who gamble on their ideas and create turmoil here, including various undercover forces from within the Blood God Sect, those members of the Evil Cult, who are desperate to acquire Meng Yu's abilities, or even directly worship Meng Yu as a cult leader!
Meng Yu smiled and did not reply, but he returned to his own yard to organize his equipment.
After staying two days, fighting fourteen people, everyone came to regard him favorably and discovered Meng Yu was financially challenged, and thus various gifts were sent to him.
Meng Yu was very thankful to these Golden Cores. The gifts were great; he now had four Storage Bags, three long swords, one of which was a Third Grade Blazing Sky-burning Sword, and four sabers, two of which were Third Grade Divine Weapons.
Amid his subordinates' fearful gazes, Meng Yu armed himself to the teeth.
On this day, regular sparring continued, but the visiting Golden Cores and Foundation Building High Stage cultivators looked at Meng Yu with a bit of peculiarity.
If something walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and tastes like a duck, then... why couldn't it be Meng Yu?
...
The day ended, the Blood God Sect had no reaction.
That night, the envoy from Immortal Sect stationed at Ceres turned white-haired in just one night, being just a step away from a major crisis.
That night, many people could not sleep, and in a nearby Second Order community adjacent to the Third Grade community, numerous people left at the first chance, many of whom were worried about what if Meng Yu escaped here.
That night, Meng Yu declined several female Golden Cores' attempts to steal his genes, asserting he was a person of integrity, still a virgin!
Pah!
...
The next day, a leader from the Blood God Sect's department of immigration came over. In addition to perfecting Xiao Jun's records, he posed a question, "What is your real age?"
Meng Yu truthfully responded, "45 years old, absolutely certain."
The Golden Core asked the same question three times in a row and voluntarily suggested that Meng Yu could take a moment to think, but Meng Yu also insisted that he really was 45 years old and proposed, "Why not test it?"
This suggestion made the Golden Core Master very pleased, including meeting the additional request Meng Yu had made.
For instance, they asked the Immortal Sect's embassy on Ceres to assist in witnessing the age verification.
In this universe, the most miraculous entities are none other than lives, and the Blood God Sect was at the forefront of studying life, including a method to verify life spans.
Lifespan.
Not how much longer one could live, but how many years this body has lived.

There was no choice; whether it was the Immortal Sect or the Blood God Sect, or even the shameless cultivators of Guanghan Palace who, one after another, transformed into young juveniles from old men over a hundred years old to steal skills and crafts, marry with potentially deceitful ages, and even various identity thefts and tax evasions, this led to the Blood God Sect developing unique technology.
Whether it was consuming miraculous spirit pills or using heaven-defying Cultivation Techniques, this method could determine a person's true lifespan.
This technology was unique to the Blood God Sect, though it was costly and restricted in use. Although the Immortal Sect had imitated it, they hadn't initially planned to use it on Meng Yu. However, later, during renegotiations due to Bai Qianqian, Meng Yu set a precondition that he would no longer accept any tests from the Immortal Sect.
Meng Yu agreed, and the Blood God Sect acted swiftly; soon, a Third Grade treasure was delivered, and the accompanying Immortal Sect ambassador brought another company's device as well.
They looked at Meng Yu nervously.
The method of testing was simple: place your hand on the treasure, remain calm and open to examination, and then the light of life would be detected, yielding a result.
Ten minutes later, the test result came out. Xiao Jun's lifespan was 46 years old, and both devices showed the same outcome.
The ambassador sighed in relief, while the Blood God Sect officials looked disappointed.
Well, Meng Yu could guess what the outcome would be if his test result had been 23 years old.
"It seems, I am not that genius Meng Yu after all. I really let everyone down, sigh."
Meng Yu sighed deeply, and then sighed again.
"No, welcome to the Blood God Sect, welcome to join the Blood God Sect."
The Golden Core Master of the Blood God Sect was very, very polite in extending the invitation to Meng Yu.
"Let's talk about joining later, I've been feeling quite unhappy recently."
Meng Yu sighed, blinked his innocent eyes, and looked at the Golden Core Master from the Blood God Sect.
"Before I came here, I thought your place was a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. But now, it seems like, sigh..."
Meng Yu's words made the Golden Core Master's mouth twitch.
"Then why did you come here?"
Xiao Jun helplessly rolled his eyes.
"Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."
This saying could not be clearer, a person who had diligently practiced sword for more than twenty years, hoping to become an overnight sensation, only to find someone else had become much more famous.
Thus, he decided to check out the Blood God Sect.
That day, a third-party testing organization also arrived, that internet whistleblower likewise brought his device to verify Meng Yu's age once again.
The online discussion about whether Xiao Jun was Meng Yu suddenly died down.
Meng Yu's birth and other details were without issues, as well as his tests to become an Immortal Sect official. He was now 23 years old, more than a decade younger than Xiao Jun.
But this didn't mean Xiao Jun's fame was diminished; in fact, this series of maneuvers made all the powers, big and small on Ceres, aware that at this millennium celebration, a real heavyweight had arrived, impressive enough to even be considered comparable to Meng Yu.
So, whether to recruit him or to control him, both were excellent choices.
Or, did this person have some kind of "Golden Finger"?
