Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 258 - 234: Return to the Moon-Watching Sect

In the Western Wastes, even in the Central Plains, it was almost impossible for a Golden Core Master to prostrate and kowtow to someone at the Foundation Establishment level. Even if someone at the Foundation Establishment level saved their life, the most a Golden Core would do was to say indifferently, "You’re not bad."

But Master Taohua wouldn’t think this way.

Just like how she once knelt in front of her parents and teachers.

She had practiced cultivation for two hundred and thirty-two years, yet she knew that reaching Infant Ascension was nearly impossible. Even with day and night efforts, sparing no diligence, she would still find herself stuck at a certain hurdle.

She had also seen countless seniors exhaust their lives and pay innumerable prices, only to ultimately become a handful of yellow soil.

She had seen many resigned individuals indulge themselves in pleasure-filled lifestyles or live unrestrained, but if that was the case, what meaning would their lives have?

She truly wasn’t content, and now this young man was willing to offer her an opportunity!

Back then, among her generation in the Taohua lineage, of the fifteen thousand six hundred people, only four achieved Golden Pill of Achievement. She had endured all kinds of hardships, including the trials and tribulations from her elders, one after another.

And now, she actually had the opportunity to attempt Infant Ascension?

It was an act of rebirth.

Or perhaps, it was because she was grateful that Meng Yu chose her.

"Good, and what about Sister Lihua?"

Meng Yu’s gaze then fell upon Master Lihua.

"With great kindness and great virtue, I would repay you even if it means shattering unto dust."

Without any hesitation and including the dignity of an elder, just like Master Taohua, she bent her waist, prostrated, and then knelt to show her veneration.

Whether it was her, or the Immortal Sect’s Five Flowers, including the absolute majority of the Immortal Sect Golden Cores, attaining Infant Ascension was an unreachable goal, but now, Meng Yu had given her hope!

As for her dignity?

Such a grand kindness and great virtue, when someone gives you the opportunity to compete, it is truly bestowing honor upon you. Now, simply being asked whether you would go or not isn’t just offering face, it’s like a dear father’s invitation.

"We don’t need any restrictions, Caihua. The few of us will leave tonight, and this trip won’t take too long."

"Do we need to report to the Immortal Sect?"

"Of course."

Meng Yu answered calmly.

"Aren’t they itching to know about the situation there? Tell them in advance; I’m taking you for a short journey.

You report to them, but you have promised that this journey is just to experience it. As for what happens in between, what you see, and what you learn, none of it can be intentionally or unintentionally revealed. Can you do that?"

Meng Yu looked at the time; it was just after six in the evening.

"Yes, I swear..."

After the two finished swearing, Meng Yu continued.

"Since we’ve reported, there’s no need for secrecy. Go ahead and brag to your friends. Tell them you won’t be attending their banquet tonight because you’re preparing to visit the Old Immortal Gate, which is the Western Wastes. Show off properly, make them green with envy, and when you return, you can brag again and really infuriate them."

Meng Yu smiled brightly, stirring a flicker of movement in the hearts of the two Masters.

Although everyone outwardly acted like close sisters, it was like how the Songshan Sect always wanted to destroy the Huashan Sect—how could they not compare themselves to each other? Moreover, since Meng Yu had said this, it meant that there was definitely a significant reward in store for this journey.

Could it even mean progressing further in a short time?

The allure of the unknown is often the most tempting.

"Both of you sisters, we’ll meet here at midnight."

Meng Yu said with a smile, graciously seeing them off.

Like a capitalist looking at his workers.

The two donkeys grinding the mill in front of him didn’t display initiative, didn’t come up with means such as slave contracts, Blood Oath Alliance, Heavenly Demon Diagrams, or strategies involving the three souls and seven spirits. After all, you can’t expect the working class to wholeheartedly consider the capitalist’s interests, and since they were all acquainted, it wasn’t nice to be too demanding. But there was no rush.

There was no shortage of workers; Golden Cores could be workers too.

What people feared the most wasn’t friends suffering, but rather their prosperity.

With so many other donkeys grinding the mill, surely someone among them would come up with a way to take out a loan for work, to volunteer for duty, right?

Of course, Meng Yu needed to hang a big, juicy carrot.

This time Meng Yu had returned with a belly full of rage. If it hadn’t been for Bai Qianqian’s persuasion, he might have resorted to his ultimate plan already.

But now was also a good time.

Those who bullied him, attempted to assassinate him—weren’t they just relying on their advantages in numbers?

He was prepared to draw a cake, then pull people from the Immortal Sect to go over for a fight.

Damn Sky-splitting Sword Sect, you think your nineteen Golden Cores are impressive?

Son of a bitch Merchant Alliance, you unite to swindle me?

Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall, you really think our side is just the Demon Race in charge, with no one else?

I’ll bring a hundred, two hundred Golden Cores next time, deploying the Formation Diagrams and forming a Sword Array, to wipe out your entire families!

...

For those who practice cultivation, it’s quite normal to go without sleep for days and nights, or even a month. Therefore, nighttime is often when everyone is active.

A banquet was being held in Peony Fairy’s estate.

Many Golden Cores had gathered here, exchanging all sorts of intelligence, and the scene was incredibly lively until a piece of news arrived—Master Lihua and Fairy Taohua were preparing to head to the Western Wastes. They were currently notifying their subordinates, instructing them on various arrangements.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, many people’s eyes turned red with envy!

The trade between the two realms was highly profitable; of course, everyone knew that. These two Masters had made a fortune from it, amassing countless Superior Spirit Stones. In the black market, information about the Western Wastes was extremely hard to come by, worth its weight in gold, because of a rumor. It was said that Meng Yu’s rapid progress in cultivation, his successive understanding of Sword Intent, and other mysteries were actually linked to the Old Immortal Gate.

After all, Meng Yu’s academic performance before middle school wasn’t impressive, nor was his Five Elements Spirit Root. He must have had some other opportunity, although no one knew what it was.

Moreover, the Old Immortal Gate was a spiritual haven for the people of the Immortal Sect, just as the people of Azure Star revered Nuwa and Pangu, believing the ancient era to be remarkable. The Immortal Sect also believed that endless treasures or opportunities were hidden within the Old Immortal Gate. Meng Yu had obtained a part of it, and if they could get some, they would become even more formidable.

There were even claims that the air in that region was filled with more than ten times the Spiritual Energy, with various Spirit Stones lying around everywhere. Just by going there, one could rise rapidly in levels, just like Meng Yu had. The Old Immortal Gate’s civilization was once incredibly resplendent.

Naturally, everyone knew such claims were exaggerated, but envy arises from comparison, and now, someone was actually going to the Western Wastes!

It was said that there was an opportunity for Infant Ascension there!

"Sister Taohua, Sister Lihua, is it true?"

One Golden Core after another surrounded Master Taohua and Master Lihua, inquiring about the situation, and even people gathered around Zhuge Caihua.

Apart from flattery, requests, and trying to establish connections, various Spiritual Eyes and spells were observing their cultivation levels, recording their status, hoping that upon their return, their powers wouldn’t have grown substantially.

Absolutely not, or it would be infuriating.

It would drive people green with envy.

The bustle continued until ten o’clock at night when the two Golden Core Masters took their leave, telling everyone that upon their return, they would definitely gather with everyone. However, they couldn’t share news from there.

Hoping everything would go smoothly.

...

In the Western Wastes, at Meng Yu’s cave dwelling in the Moon-Watching Sect.

Hua Miaochai opened her eyes and saw Bai Qianqian and Meng Yu.

"Greetings, Sister and Brother-in-law!"

She stood up hastily, like a startled rabbit.

On the side of the Immortal Sect, although Bai Qianqian and Meng Yu didn’t let her watch TV, they took her to a banquet to see just how many Golden Cores there were!

She had witnessed far too many unbelievable things and suddenly felt that her previous behavior was foolish.

"Do you remember what I said?"

"Of course, I remember. I never went to the Western Wastes—I was just recovering from my injuries in Ah Yu’s cave dwelling, then Ah Yu brought back medicine for me. After taking it, I recovered very well, and you returned as well."

"Good. When you go out later, you will understand why you must do this. Remember, even if you have to act mute, don’t blabber recklessly, or else I’ll gag you with a carrot!"

"Yes, I understand, Sister Bai. I promise I won’t speak for three days!"

Hua Miaochai, who was halfway healed, scurried off like a rabbit. She was truly frightened of Bai Qianqian; what if she asked about Song Wuqiu’s affair? The thought of her brother-in-law fighting with her sister filled her with dread.

"Aren’t you afraid she’ll leak the secrets? We could’ve kept her at the Immortal Sect, actually."

Bai Qianqian looked at Meng Yu.

"No problem, Huahua is a good girl; she won’t spill the beans. As for the fact that I’m a player with control over time, sooner or later many people are going to find out, so don’t worry about it. Besides, my wife, didn’t you obediently come back with me?" Meng Yu said with a mischievous smirk, rubbing his hands together. Bai Qianqian looked at him helplessly, thinking how shameless he was.

He had invited Fairy Taohua and Master Lihua, and then he’d turned to her, asking her to come back with him. Otherwise, what if they decided to kill him? She had to return to control the Long River Nine Bends Array, ensuring his safety.

Alright... In the end, Bai Qianqian agreed.

After all, even if she stayed a hundred days longer in the Moon-Watching Sect, it would only amount to about a day on the side of the Immortal Sect.

"Now, restore the three of them half an hour from now. I’m going out to greet them," Meng Yu suddenly felt a bit guilty. Did he need to explain the situation with Song Wuqiu to the few Golden Cores? Sigh, he was also a fool; he should have postponed his departure by three days.

Then, opening the cave dwelling, Meng Yu walked out.

Bu Shixian, Yu Paopao, and Hu Qingquan stood there excitedly, while Hua Miaochai pursed her lips, smiling with immense joy. Yet, when she looked at Meng Yu, her eyes were filled with shock! Find more chapters on novelbuddy

She remembered spending more than a month on that side, but her companions had said that only a few hours had passed. She was so shocked she dared not speak too much; this secret was truly astonishing.

Time-based Divine Skills, something even True God Transforming Masters would envy!

"Hmph, did you really think I had run away?"

Meng Yu snorted coldly, looking at the three ’invalids,’ but his heart was full of emotion.

As it turned out, they were ready to stay and fight to the death in the Moon-Watching Sect. Indeed, they were all good girls!

"Qianqian is back. She will preside over the Great Formation of the Long River Nine Bends Array. Also, two other Golden Core companions are coming over to help. They are nice people; get along well. But you must also be wary of them. Do not repeat Song Wuqiu’s mistake. They aren’t as dependable as you are. Put simply, they are good friends but also hired figures. If they get greedy and something goes wrong, it will be bad. Absolutely do not let them leave the sect gate. The future of the Moon-Watching Sect will also depend on you three, sisters."

Before returning, he had a thousand words to scold them with, such as how they had behaved, but upon seeing the three of them again, Meng Yu suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart.

As the Sect Leader of the Moon-Watching Sect, even though his followers were a bunch of fools, they were also his good companions.
