Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 452 - 352: Earnest Advice, Conquest of the Western Wastes
Meng Yu's work agreement with the Immortal Sect specified two things very clearly.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
First, Meng Yu had both decision-making and veto powers.
Decision-making power meant his strategies and command directions must be followed. The veto power allowed him to reject any actions and proposals.
Second, Meng Yu was granted the authority to command the execution of anyone, including Mirror Twelve and the Golden Core cultivators.
Such terms were not exaggerated, as a military commander should have such powers.
Thus, after arriving in the Cultivation World, Meng Yu decided on future strategies.
He borrowed troops from the Immortal Sect, took over Sleepless City, and wiped out most of the Eternal Night Palace. At this point, there were many favorable strategies, including sweeping across the Western Wastes for maximum gain and carving out a prominent reputation.
However, Meng Yu chose a conservative strategy.
He decided to set up a Teleportation Array.
The construction of a large teleportation array was complicated, but fortunately, prior explorations had been conducted.
The reason Sleepless City was the number one city in the Western Wastes was that it had previously established a large Teleportation Portal to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. An endless stream of goods flowed into the city from the Western Wastes, while other teleportation arrays continuously delivered merchandise here.
Although the large Teleportation Array leading to the Western Wastes was destroyed six thousand years ago, the Mountain Gate of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect that Meng Yu occupied was one of the old sites. Therefore, the relevant surveys and data existed, making rebuilding much easier than starting from scratch.
Of course, this "easier" was due to the Immortal Sect providing two sets of the large Teleportation Array, a plethora of components, and relevant knowledge. These things, if left to the Western Wastes and the Eternal Night Palace to procure, would take them at least a thousand years to accumulate.
The human territories were scattered like sprinkled pepper across various regions, surrounded by the vast Black Forest, swamps, plains, mountains, and so on. Larger areas of land remained uninhabited, occupied by Magical Beasts, monsters, or the Beast Clan. Caravans passing through these areas paid a high price and found travel time-consuming and laborious, sometimes going months without passage.
A large Teleportation Portal often determined the rise and fall of a region.
While it was costly to transport daily necessities with this method, having to pay more with a Storage Bag for mass transport, the difference between having and not having one was significant, especially when it connected with the vastness of the Western Wastes millions of miles away, turning journeys of over a year into mere moments!
Meng Yu smiled, introducing the past to his subordinates.
"I settled in Sleepless City to see about making acquaintances with people from the Eternal Night Palace. Yet the very next day, people from the Eternal Night Palace came to insult our branch. Even after we showed the flag of the Moon-Watching Sect, they were relentless in their desire to drive us into a corner, all because a little bastard fancied my female disciple!"
As the events of the past were revealed one by one, everyone realized just how generous Meng Yu's earlier offer had been. Dismissing the incident by executing those dozen troublemakers was simply done in a stroke.
"At the same time, the Eternal Night Palace, together with the Myriad Gold Pavilion, continued to attack me. The Myriad Gold Pavilion even incited people from the Eternal Night Palace, saying that if they could catch me, they could control the Western Wastes and reap tremendous benefits! So... talk about cooperation? I came to Sleepless City with great riches, hoping to go into business with everyone, and this is how they treat me?"
Meng Yu's voice was calm and indifferent, filled with resignation, "Then there's nothing left but to shake things up."
Someone suddenly shuddered; it was Yuan Ziyu.
After Meng Yu saved her, she didn't leave but devotedly served him. She even called back the disciples from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, suggesting to put aside old grudges and start afresh.
In that instant, she pieced together the complete story.
Meng Yu had come from overseas, and his uncle escorted him to the Western Wastes. However, Deity-Transforming Honored Ones weren't allowed to enter, so his uncle stayed behind in some desolate place with a substantial number of Golden Core cultivators.
Such places might be dead ends for other cultivators, but for a Deity-Transforming Honored One, it was merely a leisure trip... And during this time, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect was blithely preparing to take down Meng Yu!
The tiger pounced on the Tyrannosaurus Rex, no, the goat, thinking it had horns, launched a fearless attack on the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
However, before the Sky-splitting Sword Sect could attack Meng Yu, he had already called for the construction of large Teleportation Arrays in the Western Wastes and the Northwest, rallying people with the slogan of enriching the multitudes and sharing in prosperity!
At that time, everyone thought Meng Yu was joking. But now, Yuan Ziyu suddenly completed her thought; Meng Yu was true to his word!
He wanted to cooperate with everyone in the Western Wastes, offering a beautiful vision for all!
All along, she had been troubled by the thought that Meng Yu had destroyed the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, but in that moment, she felt it was utterly ridiculous because all of this had been brought on by the Sword Sect itself!
Her gaze turned to another person nearby, a member of the Eternal Night Palace at the Foundation Establishment level.
At over seventy years old, he was skilled in various affairs and acted with integrity. He was the first to surrender when Meng Yu took over Sleepless City. Yet, even then, he had lost two sons in the chaos, and the whereabouts of his three married daughters were unknown. Many of his relatives were displaced.
He was an honest and loyal person, his body also trembling as he realized something similar.
When faced with an overwhelming power they could not resist, humans would mentally advocate for their enemies. Moreover, Meng Yu now presented concrete evidence: a large Teleportation Array, produced by the Immortal Sect's True God Transforming Master, fifty-three large groups, and twelve hundred specialized factories, which the Eternal Night Palace could only hope to assemble over a thousand years, stood right in front of everyone.
