Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 400 - 327 Calm and Reasonable Discussion_2

"You’re quite hot-tempered; you’ve never been beaten up before, have you? Outside, you can get away with anything, but in here, there are Golden Core and Nascent Soul Masters everywhere, it’s just too easy to find trouble."

There was once a Nascent Soul Master who went in, concealed his identity, and got into a dispute with a Golden Core. The Magic System True Lord, without his life-bound magic artifact, was slain three times in a row by a Golden Core expert with extraordinary swordsmanship.

That Nascent Soul Master would rather die than reveal the pattern on the back of his hand. However, once he left the Ascension List, he reduced that sword cultivator to ashes and bone.

Ao Wu was still young and had a bit of an inclination for championing justice.

As Meng Yu recalled Ao Wu’s words, he continued marching forward.

The wilderness of the Ascension List was vast, with all kinds of exotic beasts and spirit grass. Those who entered could build their cave dwellings in the wilderness or go to the markets that had been set up by others. Of course, there was also an "offline" function. To put it simply, if someone had to leave for a long time, they could request to go offline, and their cave dwelling would be temporarily sealed. However, this closed period is quite long; if you choose to seal it, then you cannot log in for several months.

After flying for a while, he quickly saw a city in the distance.

The city was large, and upon entering, Meng Yu found that it was quite populous, with not only Foundation Establishment cultivators but also many Qi Cultivation disciples.

Well, although a Golden Core or Nascent Soul Master can only bring one person with them, this only applies to outsiders. The Four Great Sects and some other sects, as organizers, probably don’t have many restrictions. These people should be here to run errands and do tasks.

Just wonder which sect this belongs to.

As Meng Yu absorbed the sights with interest, he was unaware that many gazes had fallen upon him. It wasn’t four months later when the place was crowded like ants; everyone who could enter the Ascension List was an elite from the major sects.

These elites, each with an extraordinary memory, could clearly remember who was around them, but who was this suddenly appeared character?

He seemed to be at the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment; looking at his divine soul, it seemed quite ordinary (though his Growing Golden Lotus was hidden as deep as an abyss). His equipment, even more pitiable, clearly just came in.

Yet he seemed so at ease, looking around everywhere with a somewhat indifferent air.

However, the Qi Cultivation disciples did not move without orders, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators waited for words from their Golden Core masters, while the Golden Core Masters frowned as they scrutinized Meng Yu.

Until, a man and a woman blocked Meng Yu’s path.

The man had a wisp of dark beard, and the woman had distinct facial features, exquisitely delicate, appearing refreshing and ethereal.

"Hi."

Meng Yu greeted the two of them very politely, quickly glancing at the backs of their hands which did not show any mark.

They were Golden Cores.

In the world of the Ascension List, everyone was limited to Second Order. Although Golden Core experts were suppressed in their cultivation and their bodies were degraded to the peak of Body Refinement, their divine souls were not so easily diminished due to their integrated nature, so the weakening was not too severe. In a Second-Order World, it was similar to how Third-Grade cultivators could only exploit divine refinement techniques to their advantage.

The two people opposite were also looking at Meng Yu with confusion.

Nowadays, in the Ascension List, no one could be overlooked. Many veterans loved to enforce laws by deception or directly harm others. This was akin to how some benevolent people who are cowardly in their daily lives become ruthless in games, not satisfied until they’ve created a massacre.

This young man, looking left and right, appeared so relaxed as if he were on a leisurely outing. Could he be a second-generation cultivator from some family?

"To both gentlemen, I am Cao Defang from Liuyun Sword Sect, at the Foundation Establishment stage. By a lucky chance, I obtained an invitation to the Ascension List, so I’ve come in," said Meng Yu courteously, patting his body, indicating that he had no equipment aside from a bamboo staff.

"What are you looking for?"

"I’m just a country bumpkin; my usual days are spent cultivating, and I’ve not had much interaction with others. I’m completely in the dark about the Ascension List. Could you, brother and sister, please explain the situation here to me? Many thanks."

Meng Yu spoke with earnest politeness.

Perhaps it was his handsome appearance and scholarly demeanor that gained everyone’s approval. The man nodded, wanting to say something, but he was stopped by the woman.

"Show your mark so we can verify if you really are Foundation Establishment!"

"I truly am at Foundation Establishment; I stake my reputation on it."

Meng Yu sighed, covered most of his mark with his sleeve, and let them glance at the edge of the color.

"Ah, so you really are at Foundation Establishment?"

The woman was taken aback but became even more pressing, "Roll up your sleeve and let us see clearly; what are you hiding? Are you a Demon Cult demon?"

Ugh, hearing those words sent a chill through Meng Yu’s heart.

It seemed he had encountered a madman.

While the distinction between good and evil is clear, those who constantly harp on about it tend to have a few screws loose.

Not bothering to explain, Meng Yu simply rolled up his sleeve to show the Blood Shadow Ancestor’s mark.

"Blood Demon Sect?"

The woman was taken aback, her face turned extremely ugly, and tears even began to form in her eyes.

"I am not a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect. The Blood Shadow Ancestor sent me an Ascension List invitation, inviting me to visit, but since I don’t really know him, I randomly picked a door to see what this was all about," Meng Yu explained, his demeanor neither humble nor arrogant.

But the woman across didn’t believe a word.

The Blood Demon Sect was notorious, and who didn’t know what a bunch of scumbags they were, as one of the most brutal Demon Gates? Countless people had died at their hands, and now here was someone with the Blood Shadow Ancestor’s mark, telling them he had nothing to do with the Blood Shadow Ancestor?

"Hey, everyone, don’t be hasty," Meng Yu urged, aware that the Blood Shadow Ancestor had set him up, using a tactic akin to forcing decent people into thievery.

In Sleepless City, by making outsiders pressure Meng Yu into betrayal, attack, and hatred, it would alienate him from everyone else.

Now in this world, Meng Yu was certain he had to take a look around. With that look, the infamous reputation of the Blood Demon Sect would come to light, followed by everyone calling for his head, various abuses and injuries, and once he was left with no decent relationships or work, he’d have no choice but to go to the Blood Shadow Ancestor with tears in his eyes.

"You say you’re not the Blood Shadow Ancestor’s disciple, yet she gave you an invitation?"

The previously agitated woman had calmed down, "So, can you curse her right now? Say ’Blood Shadow Ancestor is a piece of shit, a bastard, a lowly whore,’ and mean it?"

Hatred filled her eyes; clearly, she had been deeply hurt.

Huh, Blood Shadow Ancestor is a woman? Meng Yu hadn’t known that.

"I cannot," Meng Yu firmly shook his head.

"My situation is precarious, with the Blood Shadow Ancestor in Sleepless City, right above me.

The Blood Sea Great Formation looms over Sleepless City; it won’t take long to break through. My life is in the hands of others, and it’s an honor that the Blood Shadow Ancestor thinks highly of me. I only came to explain that I appreciate her kind intentions, but I am genuinely not interested in the Blood Demon Sect," he continued to explain calmly.

"How long have you known Blood Shadow Ancestor?"

"I don’t know her, I haven’t even spoken to her. She probably took notice of me because of a ritual I performed in Sleepless City."

"So, was it you who conducted blood sacrifices in Sleepless City, or did you use some murderous technique to impress her?" someone sneered.

"There were no blood sacrifices and not many people killed, just twenty-one in self-defense. The Blood Shadow Ancestor might have thought my swordsmanship was good and simply gave me a chance," Meng Yu replied.

"Swordsmanship? Aren’t you from the Liuyun Sword Sect?"

Suddenly, someone appeared atop a tall building, opened a window, and asked.

"I am skilled in swordsmanship, that’s my main practice, but in my spare time, I used to dig through old scripts in my sect, where I found a saber manual, a Buddhist scripture, and some other miscellaneous texts, which I started practicing. The saber manual might be related to the Blood Demon Sect, but I didn’t master the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber. When the Blood Shadow Ancestor saw it, she insisted it was the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber and decided to give me a chance," he clarified.

"Blood Transmutation Divine Saber?"

The two Golden Core masters blocking the way were taken aback, stepping back three paces and putting a safe distance between themselves and Meng Yu.

The Blood Demon Sect’s Blood Transmutation Divine Saber was surely a lethal weapon, known for its ruthlessness and cruelty, even a minor cut could lead to a failed cultivation or the scattering of one’s Divine Soul.

Could it be that this youngster mastered the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber on his own?

Then the two Golden Cores had another moment of realization; we’re on the Ascension List, why fear the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber?
