Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 433 343: Daily Affairs, Return to the Immortal Sect
He stepped out of the courtyard and wandered through the small town.
The food was excellent, Lan Qiong was enchanting, her body soft yet firm, the beauty was shy yet tempting, and what was most interesting was that whatever happened on the Ascension List left no trace.
Meng Yu strolled through this virtual world, where the ancient Immortal Sect's test system now operated in a different way.
No longer were there throngs of students nor young adolescents, just the successors of tens of thousands of years; smart humans who would activate this world every few decades or even centuries.
People controlled this place, conquered this place, but they couldn't take away anything physical and instead, strands of Divine Souls were embedded within it, turning into the best nutrients for the Ascension List.
In this vast land, even some intelligent beings existed, yet no one knew where the Divine Souls in the Ascension List went at the moment it was closed.
Once on the Ascension List, a strand of Divine Soul was as good as lost forever.
These past few days, Meng Yu had contacted the Taiyi Sect and the other three of the Four Great Sects, asking if he could, following the precedent of the Eternal Night Palace, sponsor a few Golden Cores to enter; sadly, the attitude of the Four Great Sects was clear, they did not trust him!
"You've already obtained the invitation, which cannot be canceled, so please enjoy yourself, but we're not adding more people because we don't trust you."
Well, Meng Yu had nothing to say; it seemed like they were wary of him.
After all, he had been somewhat excessive these days.
On his personal panel, a certain Golden Core from the Eternal Night Palace once again expressed her desire to meet him. The Golden Core Master had even sent a beautiful and slightly revealing photo of herself with blushing cheeks, indicating she wanted to talk face-to-face. Meng Yu noticed what appeared to be a slap mark on her face, yet it also seemed absent.
Alright, Meng Yu remembered Lan Qiong mentioning this woman; her name was something... she was a very proud woman.
What would happen at the meeting, Meng Yu knew well.
Cultivation is truly wonderful; all things return to oneself.
He had previously refrained from getting intimate with the great beauty of the Blood God Sect for fear of being taken down in close-quarters combat; Golden Elixir Big Sister was good, but killing a poor member of the Foundation Establishment in bed was very easy.
That was also why he didn't meet Lan Qiong in reality; no matter how humble she was, the Golden Cores couldn't risk it.
However, on the Ascension List, it was different; the fully virtual world allowed for any desires to unfold.
Having subdued one, the other three were almost the same; perhaps, the remaining three only wanted a meeting, but meetings could turn into real negotiations if he so desired, and regarding unwillingness... Meng Yu really didn't care.
No reason to haggle.
Years ago (in Meng Yu's sense of time), several female Golden Cores from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect had been captured and were still imprisoned in the dungeons. If they were stubborn, they just had to endure slowly, using the remainder of their lives to work for the Moon-Watching Sect crafting Formation Diagrams, forging Magical Treasures, and so forth, working for decades or centuries until death.
And it was the same for male Golden Cores, stubborn ones just had to mine slowly.
Meng Yu wasn't in a hurry, although he actually cared quite a bit.
Lan Qiong was doing very well now; newly attached forces, in a fervor to show their loyalty, were much harsher and stronger against their former companions than he was.
His involvement in the negotiation, subject to the seduction and tenderness of the beautiful Golden Core sisters, might very well lead to compromises and a continuous softening of his stance. Even if he personally declined and didn't get close to them, when they dropped their guards like lambs to the slaughter, how could Meng Yu not offer them even the slightest concession?
But with Lan Qiong, it was different.
To subjugate a group, find a representative among them, treat her well, trust her, let her do the dirty work for you, and then you just need to reap the benefits.
After a while, Meng Yu sat down on a tree stump by the roadside where neon lights were flickering in the sky; they were projections from the Ascension List system.
A banner hung in the sky, displaying through light and effects the aspirations for a better future from those years ago.
72 days left until the opening ceremony of the 22001st Amateur Group Professional Competition of the Immortal Sect.
"Friendship first, competition second."
"Perform to your level, fight for excellence."
"Together we build a better future for the Immortal Sect."
The Four Great Sects logged into the system and invested resources, the Ascension List then subcontracting them to set the mood.
Like the slogans above.
No one looked at that sign; no one cared because the people of the Immortal Sect... were already gone.
Millions of years had eroded everything.
The pyramids from 4,000 years ago, the Roman Colosseum from 2,000 years ago... these magnificent structures still stood, but their civilizations had vanished into thin air, newcomers taking over their lands, continuing to live.
Only these relics, still retaining some items from the past.
Suddenly, Meng Yu felt very sad.
The Immortal Sect, the real Immortal Sect, including all those beautiful things, had ultimately disappeared.
...
Sleepless City.
Everything was moving along well, the local forces, eager to show their loyalty, were cooperating much more harshly with the Golden Cores than he himself, being more effective.
Fairy Taohua, receiving much attention from many.
Having come down from the Ascension List, Meng Yu wandered around the City Lord Mansion.
He never left the City Lord Mansion; his range of activities was just a small portion of the area. Sounds came from afar, it was Fairy Tao Hua working.

The two got along well together, so Fairy Tao Hua simply set up her workplace right there.
Meng Yu walked over silently; inside, Fairy Taohua and about a dozen women were busy with official duties.
