Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 431 342: Acting Young, Winner Takes All
Lan Qiong and Xie Mingxian, two individuals, took turns working in a small town every 24 hours, one during the day and the other at night, and the rest of the time, they would try to stay here.
Meng Yu had looked at their profiles; they were respectively the disciples of Emperor Ye and Lady Meng. On ordinary days, they led a faction, possessing numerous subordinates and holding power and authority. The daily disciples of the Eternal Night Palace found it extremely difficult to meet them; even those at the Foundation Building High Stage would have a hard time speaking to them.
However, now, they were merely Meng Yu's subordinates in the Ascension List.
Lan Qiong had meticulously prepared for Meng Yu's arrival for a long time. Even though resources in the Ascension List were scarce, she still prepared fine tea and wine, along with a beautifully arranged room. The stunningly beautiful Golden Core Master dressed herself with breathtaking charm.
The room was filled with a fragrance that resembled orchids and sandalwood as Lan Qiong discussed the progress of work in the Ascension List.
Three Nascent Souls of the Eternal Night Palace had brought twelve Golden Cores into the Ascension List.
The login system of the Ascension List was quite fascinating. Upon receiving an invitation and entering, a panel would appear in front of each person, and it could also conceal various kinds of information to prevent it from being inspected by elders or enemies.
This was also why Meng Yu valued Xie Mingxian and Lan Qiong. With them, it was easier to communicate with the high-ranking members of the Eternal Night Palace.
After Emperor Ye and Lady Meng died in battle, among the twelve Golden Cores, two had died in body, two were captured, and the remaining eight managed to escape. But when the True Sage decided to hold the Mountain Gate and got blocked by Mirror Twelve, those eight were in contact with Meng Yu, Lan Qiong, and Xie Mingxian.
People might laugh at the kind-hearted and honest, but during times of adversity, they would hope to find refuge in their homes. The words mocked by everyone about Meng Yu had now become a lifeline for survival.
Mirror Twelve, carrying four hundred Golden Cores, crossed thousands of miles and arrived at the Eternal Night Palace within three days. In one go, he breached a small part of the Mountain Gate Formation... then safely retreated, sealing off the vicinity.
That day, the heavens tilted and the earth churned, the Spirit Vein broke in half, causing great anxiety among the disciples of the Eternal Night Palace!
Though the True Sage assured everyone that the Mountain Protection Array was as solid as a rock, with a senior Divinity Transformation on the way, the deaths of one-tenth of the disciples nearly scared everyone to death!
It's not that they couldn't take down the Eternal Night Palace; they simply didn't want to provoke a desperate, cornered reaction.
Afterward, Mirror Twelve began psychological warfare.
He repeated the appalling actions related to the relief efforts for the Cultivator Legion destroyed last time at the Eternal Night Palace and then told the people inside that if you die in battle, you lose everything. Your children and wives would become slaves, and ironically, only those with connections would be promoted.
Lies cannot deceive, but the truth can wound.
This was real, fresh, and known by all.
This True Sage behaved reasonably—only the utterly wicked must be executed, but others, the defiant would be killed, the ones who surrender might be pardoned, and those who rebel could depart peacefully.
Ladies and gentlemen, Emperor Ye and Lady Meng are dead. From now on, it's the True Sage's lineage that will rise to power. He will carry out a massive purge! Without the Nascent Soul Masters, you all are just cannon fodder!
So then, what do the people of the Eternal Night Palace think?
Then, Mirror Twelve began to repeatedly attack the Mountain Protection Array of the Eternal Night Palace, lingering outside, wiping out one stronghold after another and devouring the people inside.
Sometimes, he would abruptly rush in to slaughter extensively and then flee before the True Sage could use his ultimate move, rather than confronting it head-on.
Mirror Twelve charged ahead, while the four hundred Golden Cores played various illusions and reality.
Reality was the four hundred Golden Cores often forming squads of a hundred, assembling teams as powerful as True God Transforming Masters in conjunction with Mirror Twelve's attacks, intimidating the disciples of the Eternal Night Palace.
Whereas illusions were crafted resembling genuine Golden Cores, including all Five Elements, making it appear to outsiders that the battalion of four hundred actually had over a thousand real Golden Cores, with a few Nascent Souls mixed among them!
Taking over the Eternal Night Palace was a significant event. After Mirror Twelve sealed the Mountain Gate of the Eternal Night Palace, he issued a command for forces within thousands of miles to come, acknowledge their new lord, and give a blood tribute!
Simply put, forces within thousands of miles were under the domain of the Eternal Night Palace, but now you have an opportunity to prove your loyalty. Send your family head or direct lineage to join us and form a force like cannon fodder, to take on the main assault on the Mountain Gate when the time comes!
Many forces either pretended to comply or outright resisted to the death, but many more chose the stronger side, and then these people witnessed a horrifying scene.
Unlike the native people of the Cultivation World, who were concerned with saving face, the Golden Cores from Immortal Sect carried themselves with much humility. They didn't care about deceiving, luring, or even impersonating others as they were merely a part of the grand army, perfectly playing their role within the war machine!
When a large group of outsiders arrived, they donned various identities as Golden Cores; these were people who genuinely existed within the Immortal Sect. Disguise Skill and Illusion Technique made them seem incredibly real, and the numbers displayed terrified everyone.
A Divinity Transformation, eighty Nascent Souls, a thousand Golden Cores!

Um, to emphasize a point, the True God Transforming Master was Meng Yu's uncle, and these people were his subordinates. He is not Meng Yu's father!
Meng Yu's actual father, that Divine Spirit True Venerable, was still staying at home.
As the cannon fodder troops gathered in increasing numbers, the pressure on the Eternal Night Palace also kept mounting. Mirror Twelve was busy and joyously engaged in battle, but the people of the Eternal Night Palace felt like autumn locusts, hardly believing they could hold out!
