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

The Nascent Soul from the Eternal Night Palace looked deeply at Meng Yu. He recognized three of them and was shocked. How could Cao Defang get them to speak up for him? Then, he turned and left. A Nascent Soul coming to trouble someone at the Foundation Establishment level was shameful, and these people even mentioned Meng Yu. Those arrogant folks from the Central Plains liked to look down on others through their nostrils, truly loathsome. "Hey, you're going to face many challenges in the upcoming days. Strive to survive." All four provided a range of assistance to Meng Yu. Bai Hu provided the formation blueprint of the summer garden. The red fox spat a flame that fell into the formation. The white-haired youth and the middle-aged man offered to provide a batch of puppets. Big shots saw a good project and then invested some money, not to get shares but rather to pave the way in advance. Everyone really wanted to know what exactly Cao Defang was up to. Then, Meng Yu lay down in the middle of the Great Formation and logged out. Inside the Ascension List, there's no safe offline AFK function. Once you're in, if you want to log out, there are three ways. The first is suicide, and then re-enter through an invitation, but you will lose a wisp of Divine Soul. The second is to find a safe place to sleep. Sleeping is similar to meditating. You're half-awake, half-asleep and can sense your surroundings. You can also wake up under certain circumstances, or someone could kill you in this state. The third is to sleep anywhere, wake up anywhere. But when you do, if your items are stolen or you're killed, that's on you. Meng Yu's cave mansion was surrounded by layers of protection, and several things happened at the same time. First, the Blood Shadow Ancestor ran away. She waited for Meng Yu all day, trying various persuasive tactics, promising she could attack the City-Protecting Great Array with full force to save Meng Yu, but unfortunately, he didn't agree. In the end, she chose to leave. She also told Meng Yu that two Nascent Souls from the Eternal Night Palace had arrived. She wouldn't go too far and would still help Meng Yu if necessary, but he needed to take care of himself. Second, the Eternal Night Palace tried to attack Meng Yu's cave mansion, but the reinforced formation didn't budge an inch. Third, and most importantly, Mirror Twelve didn't mess up; he truly woke up. This was what Meng Yu feared most, the instability of Mirror Twelve. He was an important combatant for the team. Whether it was regaining his Divinity Transformation cultivation, healing from his Nascent Soul injuries, or whatever the situation, Meng Yu needed a definitive answer. Inside the Bonded Mirror, which could encrypt messages sent from outside the city, Mirror Twelve had a face-to-face conversation with Meng Yu. Three things. First, through various coincidences, Mirror Twelve regained part of his Divinity Transformation cultivation, but his injuries didn't heal and would relapse within one or two years, leading to his demise. There were two Nascent Souls that came over from the Eternal Night Palace, and those guys had various Magical Treasures and means. He was alone and could fight them, but it would be difficult to kill both of them. Of course, all this was under the premise of not using the six hundred Golden Cores. Second, he felt sorry that his upgrade brought Meng Yu a lot of trouble. Therefore, he would follow Meng Yu's commands in the future. This time, Meng Yu would command, and he wouldn't cause any chaos. Third, everything should prioritize Meng Yu's interests. He thanked Meng Yu for giving everyone a chance. Whatever Meng Yu wanted to do in the Ascension List was his choice. Even if it meant dragging on for a few more months or even a year or two, as long as they returned before the deadline, that would be fine. The Ascension List was Meng Yu's opportunity; if he could achieve the Golden Pill of Achievement with it, great. Moreover, the knowledge gained in the Ascension List was worth much more than destroying the Eternal Night Palace and making a large profit in Spirit Stones. The heavy stone hanging over Meng Yu's heart lifted. The strongest card could be used. ... There were day and night inside the Ascension List, but the Nascent Soul Cultivators could go several days and nights without sleep. The four Nascent Souls came out of Meng Yu's formation and sat in a nearby tavern, discussing the situation regarding Cao Defang. Everyone was amazed at his talent and foundation and really wanted to know how he would resolve the conflict with the Eternal Night Palace and the Taiyi Sect. The corpses of so many Taiyi Sect Golden Cores hanging from the trees were a blatant provocation. "Right, can someone tell me, what's the deal with the Eternal Night Palace, and what's up with Meng Yu?" The woman with red hair asked. She was the red fox, and she found these matters quite interesting. "Meng Yu, that's a child of Divinity Transformation..." Someone began recounting the intelligence... Sleepless City. "Cao Defang!" Someone was shouting outside; Meng Yu lifted his head and saw a rather familiar person. Ah, isn't that Yuan Ziyu, the female Golden Core from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect? Meng Yu defeated the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, captured several female Golden Cores, and this one was the most beautiful. She had a temperament somewhat like Ouyang Zhenxue, appearing proud and noble, but she quickly succumbed after losing, including all kinds of cooperation. Meng Yu eventually released her, and even later on, the two had a brief encounter in Sleepless City. She stood there dejectedly, looking pitiful. Alright, it was quite easy for a Nascent Soul from Eternal Night Palace to catch a Golden Core, but Meng Yu had already branded her a fool. "Ah, what's the matter, what happened to this great beauty?" Meng Yu watched the scene outside through the Formation. "If you're Meng Yu, then admit your identity. This person is your concubine, and now that we've captured her, believe it or not, we'll..." "Alright, alright, I'm Meng Yu. Can you hand her over to me?" Meng Yu spoke without any courtesy, quite nonchalantly. "You... you're Meng Yu, then show your true face!" The opposing Golden Cores were so angry they were lost for words. At that moment, Meng Yu's expression suddenly turned a bit fierce. "You've been blocking my doorstep for three days already!" His voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction. "Do you not take our Blood God Sect seriously at all!" Meng Yu's voice made the people from Eternal Night Palace pause for a moment. Ah, Blood God Sect? Well, speaking of coincidences, the Demon Sect members of course called themselves the Holy Sect, and the Blood Demon Sect often referred to themselves as the Blood God Sect. Cao Defang said he was from the Blood God Sect? "Since you insist on pushing me, let's fight then!" Meng Yu sneered and clapped his hands. He had purchased more than two hundred Magical Treasures and weapons from the Blood God Sect. Then he was also stuffed with over a hundred Immortal Artifacts and Spiritual Objects by the big shots of the Blood God Sect and the Immortal Sect embassies. Of course, everyone knew that the weapons he wanted had to have the characteristics of the Blood God Sect—simply put, the kind of demonic, blood-colored weapons that the Immortal Sects had identified in the past. Although no one understood why he had such a request. In the thirty thousand years of the Blood God Sect's history, many dead Golden Cores and Nascent Souls would refine their own bodies or even merge with the Dao, using Essence Blood to create weapons characteristic of the Blood God Sect, weapons shimmering with blood-red light that were quite distinctive. Then, Meng Yu brought this large pile of weapons here. At that time, Blood Shadow Ancestor had not yet arrived, but Meng Yu was already prepared to pin the blame on the Blood Demon Sect. He could defeat or even annihilate Eternal Night Palace, but he couldn't possibly occupy such a large territory. So would he act under the banner of the Moon-Watching Sect and just rob and leave? No, the Moon-Watching Sect was an Orthodox Sect—bad deeds should be done under the name of the Blood Demon Sect. Such a large group of Golden Cores using weapons of the Blood Demon Sect... these weapons, full of sanctity, blood, and sacrifice, even the Blood Demon Sect themselves would say those were precious relics from the Ancestors and they would want them too. As for Cultivation Techniques, the Blood Demon Sect also had Five Elements Dao Techniques, and everyone could also mimic some of the Blood God Sect's techniques, such as the Thirteen Swords of the Long River and so on. The Golden Cores just needed to learn these things to fool the spectators. So then, could anyone still have doubts? And then... it was the people from the Blood Demon Sect who robbed the Eternal Night Palace. What does that have to do with us in the Moon-Watching Sect? Meng Yu hadn't swindled anyone on the Ascension List. What he said about the great rise of the Blood Demon Sect wasn't a joke—the thought of hundreds of Golden Cores waving around the Blood Demon Sect's weapons to pillage and plunder warmed Meng Yu's heart. I, Meng Yu, am a gentleman of honor!
