Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Immortal Sect's Supreme Star.

In a certain storage room, six third-grade storage bags lay there peacefully.

And at different locations within the storage room, there were many pieces of equipment. Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

These were the weapons and equipment prepared by the Immortal Sect for six hundred Golden Core cultivators, originally waiting for Meng Yu to send away Mirror Twelve and two batches of Golden Cores, they were for the fourth batch of weapons being prepared.

At that time, some people within the Immortal Sect were full of confidence, believing that Meng Yu would definitely think of the bigger picture, and even if he had a falling out with the Immortal Sect, he wouldn't cause problems before the fourth trip. Moreover, if Meng Yu had other ideas, he would definitely still go on the fourth trip. After all, so many weapons and pieces of equipment represented a vast fortune.

But now, they lay here gathering dust.

...

Another ten days passed.

Xia Hailu really didn't want to see Xiao Jun because when she saw Xiao Jun, she had to act as a caring elder sister, gentle and generous, considering various things for Xiao Jun's sake.

But, it was her duty.

Xia Hailu, on behalf of the official Blood God Sect, personally came to report a piece of unfortunate news to Xiao Jun.

Although the Holy Path Alliance had been captured, Ouyang Zhenxue was not found.

This matter was quite absurd.

Three Golden Core Masters had formed a secret society, seeking personal gain and even colluded with Evil Gods.

They had planned to capture Ouyang Zhenxue and offer her to the Evil God in exchange for blessings. However, coincidentally, on that day, Ouyang Zhenxue went out and vanished without a trace.

Logically, at this point, the Holy Path Alliance should have firmly denied any involvement and even brought out Chang Lebai and others to prove their innocence. But why would evil cultists bother explaining their actions to their subordinates? Moreover, subsequent events stirred the greed of the three Golden Core Masters.

Although they didn't manage to capture Ouyang Zhenxue, everyone outside believed it was their doing. Merely on the strength of this reputation, the Blood God Sect's tribunal was willing to negotiate with them, willing to pardon them as long as they handed over the person involved. Not to mention interactions with other fellows on the same path, even some inexplicably strange powers contacted them, offering benefits proactively!

For most Golden Core Masters, no matter how much wealth they accumulated, life felt empty. The path beyond Golden Core, reaching Nascent Soul, was nearly impossible without special opportunities.

And now, the covetous nature of the Golden Cores from the Holy Path Alliance had been awakened, seeing a chance for Infant Ascension.

As long as they captured Xiao Jun, endless possibilities awaited. Even if the operation failed, and Xiao Jun disappeared, proving to be Meng Yu, they could shift the blame to the Blood God Sect, inciting conflict between Meng Yu and the Blood God Sect. The Evil God would surely be pleased with the chaos they created, awarding them with more rewards.

Thus, they proceeded with their next move.

Chang Lebai was an unfortunate and foolish pawn; she had always thought that Ouyang Zhenxue had been captured by their own people. The True Sages deceived her by claiming that after capturing Ouyang Zhenxue, the Golden Core had committed suicide. She was told that even if she confessed to Xiao Jun, he would never forgive her.

So, she followed a dark path to the end.

Now, the culprits were all captured, and with that, the matter came to a close. Meng Yu thanked Xia Hailu, and his token of thanks was giving her another thorough beating—these days, he had been using the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Spirits daily, his physical strength increased rapidly, and through fighting the cultivators from the Blood God Sect, his understanding of their techniques deepened. Thus, Meng Yu gave her another brutal thrashing!

"Sister Xia, you need to practice more, your swordsmanship..."

The man prattled on with a long speech, leaving Xia Hailu trembling with anger. The main point of her visit to inform Xiao Jun was not this, but to explicitly tell Xiao Jun that if he was Meng Yu, he should acknowledge the truth. The Blood God Sect was willing to sit down and have a proper talk with him, everything was up for discussion!

But this scoundrel continued to insist that he was indeed Xiao Jun!

He even amiably thanked them for notifying those Golden Cores that they always held back a little when fighting him, many thanks indeed.

By now, Xia Hailu was completely frazzled by Xiao Jun, deeply suspecting that Xiao Jun might be pulling off a scam!

Xia Hailu had never encountered someone so despicable, shameless, and vulgar!

What if he wasn't Meng Yu but was exploiting Meng Yu's identity to gorge on the Blood God Sect's resources, freeloading on various assets like his current use of the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Spirits and other treasures, which were offered on credit with the higher-ups' tacit approval? Moreover, their stance was clear, even if Xiao Jun wasn't Meng Yu, it was worth spending some resources to win over such a powerful ally.

But... Xia Hailu was the intermediary, and if anything went wrong, she would be the one to take the blame!

Alright... She was already in despair. Xiao Jun might mysteriously disappear one day, leaving behind a legend, thanking the Blood God Sect for its hospitality.

Yet, she couldn't bear to give up her position, knowing how many coveted the opportunity for close contact with Xiao Jun!

Her smile became gentler, more considerate. Perhaps... this was what being tamed felt like?

...

Soaking in the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Spirits every day, then using credit to obtain precious medicines, continuing to fight with the new Golden Core Masters, dispersing the medicine's power; such treatment, even someone undergoing Divinity Transformation might struggle to secure for their own child.

Day by day, Meng Yu's body was being enhanced.

Today, for instance, was the twenty-eighth day of Meng Yu soaking in the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Spirits.

His bones grew stronger and more powerful, shining with a brilliant luster like white jade, his muscles became firmer and more resilient. Standing still without using his True Qi, not even high-velocity bullets could inflict the slightest injury on him.
