Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 471 - 361: Meng Yu is in a Sword Competition, the Sect Leader Can Wait
In the northwest, outside the Taihe Sect, on board a Flying Boat.
Meng Yu was competing in swordsmanship, and the Sect Leader could wait.
Master Tianyue watched the Golden Core Masters on the Flying Boat, observing their apricot faces and peach cheeks and their graceful demeanor, looking at the exquisitely depicted Formation... Suddenly, he recalled his own life.
His father was a Golden Core Master, and had him at the age of one hundred twenty-three. Among a large group of siblings, he was not the favored one, having to struggle and diligently work from a young age, fighting for every resource as he grew up.
At that time, he often thought how happy he would be if he were his father's only child, with all the resources dedicated to him.
It was an obsession that tormented him until he realized something profound, seeing others with better talents and more resources fall behind him.
The hardships and torments are nonsense to the poor and ordinary. They only bring suffering, but for those aiming for the pinnacle, they are essential.
Though this tempering was not desired or a gift from others, a second generation truly needs spirit.
He also taught his children the same way and felt he had done well until today, when he saw Meng Yu, a second-generation of the Immortal Sect.
"Master Meng, truly formidable."
Master Tianyue's attention was majorly focused on the Ascension List.
A strand of Divine Soul entered, but it must be operated by the original body. Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment required full concentration, and even the Golden Core Nascent Soul demanded focused attention, or controlling issues could easily arise.
Although a strand of Divine Soul was present, Master Tianyue was quite worried about Meng Yu's current situation.
Waiting here, he was completely convinced.
...
In the Ascension List, the battle continued.
Dying in the heat of intense battle, going against biological instincts to commit suicide, or launching a reckless charge, all these actions stacked together made it difficult for these Nascent Souls to frequently go offline and then resurrect, as one moment they were dead and the next, they would be resurrected and needed to reconnect— The Ascension List would check if a person's mental state was normal to prevent complaints.
As Master Tianyue flew towards Meng Yu's Flying Boat, the slaughter in the Ascension List continued.
True Monarch Yu Xia looked like a dignified and elegant beauty in everyday life, decisive and calm, yet kind, but now, her eyes had turned red.
Suddenly, Meng Yu appeared beneath her, executing a sword strike that flared like fire, chilling her smooth legs instantly. This strike had no grace, and if it had hit, the scene would be unimaginable... but she knew clearly that this sword had no insulting intent, it was a calm strike from Meng Yu!
In that moment, Meng Yu became a cold, calculating war machine.
She dodged the sword in an instant, but just by avoiding it, Meng Yu struck a Golden Core beside her. His body turned to dust, bones and flesh scattered everywhere, and Meng Yu's Xiao Hao Sword instantly transformed into the Golden Sand Divine Sword!
Swirling with bones and blood, it fiercely approached her!
She had heard of Meng Yu's Four Great Void, but scorned such fanciness.
Many geniuses liked to incorporate various elements, and numerous tried to carve new paths, yet she, a bit traditional, believed that one's energy and time were limited. The path of cultivation was like rowing against a current— purity was the way forward. Perfecting any one of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind to the extreme was not inferior to mastering the Four Great Void, and cultivation was faster and easier to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. Meng Yu's flashy cultivation method seemed powerful at first but would slow down later!
For instance, to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, she needed just one aspect, while Meng Yu needed four or even more!
Yet at this moment, seeing Meng Yu at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, her only thought was, if this man doesn't die, he will surely become a Nascent Soul!
His Four Great Sword Intents, each at the Foundation Establishment Stage, could absolutely achieve the Golden Core, and each was immensely fierce.
The Earth Sword Intent, which withered the earth—one of the Four Great Sword Intents that Meng Yu achieved with the Golden Finger—finally revealed its brutal side!
The sky filled with blood and flesh, the concentrated Sword Intent rushed toward True Monarch Yu Xia like a tornado. The red in the sky was turning black, as the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber's cultivation technique absorbed various energies, continuously infusing Meng Yu, aiding him to become stronger in battle!
"Blood Demon Sect!"
Someone loudly called out the name of this technique.
"Blood Transmutation Divine Saber."
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
This was the evaluation from the Immortal Sect Golden Cores.
No one was wrong. If described in martial arts terms, Meng Yu was now at the Ninth Layer of Mingyu Divine Skill, absorbing all substances, coordinating with the Divine Art of the Northern Sea to strengthen absorption, uncaringly adding the Great Disintegration of the Heavenly Demon!
...
Before the Taihe Sect, on board a Flying Boat.
"Excellent!"
Four-sided Water Mirrors displayed the battle scenes from different angles, delighting everyone on the Flying Boat.
"What a pity..."
Someone watched in the Water Mirror, silently regretting. If they had such opportunities at the Foundation Establishment Stage to enter the Ascension List, their achievements might have been higher.
"Useless, it holds no meaning for us."
Fairy Taohua shook her head.
Indeed, the Immortal Sect had various simulative devices and numerous master instructors; the Ascension List was just somewhat helpful for those at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but not significantly so.
