NOVPUBA disciple, from entry to Qi Cultivation, from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, first considers aptitude, then connections, and must also seek out resources themselves. Unless they have a Heavenly Spirit Root or similar, they have to grind step by step. Sometimes, even esteemed orthodox sects recruit hundreds of disciples and then focus on training just a few. As for other talents, they might string you along, letting you cultivate without giving you the truly suitable secret manuals or paths. Then, after you’ve wasted years, possibly without even realizing it, you miss your opportunity and can’t even leave.
However, those who manage to rise in such an environment are extremely diligent. Those Nascent Souls and Divinity Transformations, they are not much less than the Immortal Sect, and due to the abundance of Spiritual Energy, they have actually produced true prodigies.
Twenty-two technical Golden Core members, bustling around at the Moon-Watching Sect, including overhauling the Solar Eclipse. Normally, Meng Yu would chat with these technicians.
During this period, Meng Yu had been experiencing back pain, so this time, it was twenty-two uncles, and everyone was happily drinking together. They naturally discussed their various glorious and serene accomplishments.
Everyone envied Meng Yu’s current wealth, noting that he could now cultivate in comfort, with no lack of resources even up to the Nascent Soul stage, and even touching upon Divinity Transformation was possible. His life in the latter half was extremely fortunate. Enjoy more content from freewebnovel
"I want to go and see the Central Plains."
Meng Yu calmly told everyone.
"Have you gone mad?"
The uncles, each looking a bit perplexed.
"Because I feel that my sword has dulled."
Some things, just need to be said.
"Back in the day, I traveled alone from the Immortal Sect from south to north, doing everything my heart desired, my sword stroke without regret. But recently, I’ve discovered a slight issue with my state of mind."
Meng Yu talked with the Golden Core uncles, sharing his own experiences.
"But, it’s not worth it."
Still, this is how a Golden Core evaluated it.
Meng Yu, wealthy beyond measure yet chasing extremes, was not uncommon in the Immortal Sect. However, Meng Yu was the wealthiest among them.
"Well, this is just a personal thought. Let’s drink."
Meng Yu continued chatting with everyone, viewing life as a journey against the current, willing to take risks. And this trip to the Central Plains was a good thing for the Immortal Sect.
He would encounter many people and events, and learn much knowledge. Even if one day he were to fall, the Immortal Sect could still gain many paths.
A civilization is best when it engages in frequent exchanges with other civilizations, absorbing their strengths and diligently progressing like Meng Yu, experiencing discomfort and pain instead of the elite resting on their laurels, enjoying wives and concubines, wealth like mountains, yet still deeming this a fortunate life.
In the high martial arts and cultivation world, the future of the world is always decided by those at the top.
Meng Yu felt that such a lifestyle of indulgence and leisure was not suited for him. Staying in it for a few more years might decay him.
After hearing this, several of the Golden Cores fell silent. They wanted to tell Meng Yu that he was wrong, that he should live well and not chase adventures, that they could take on tasks delegated by him, and so on.
But these words, they couldn’t say, as they were wary of the Immortal Sect.
When the Immortal Sect had the chance to strike Meng Yu down, they would certainly not hesitate, and it might even be a True God Transforming Master who personally acted!
The Solar Eclipse, previously under the command of Hua Miaochai, had undergone various upgrades. This time, the twenty-two Golden Cores came to help, further improving it. Though only a Third Grade Flying Boat, every aspect of its equipment was top-notch, whether the Sun Flying Wings or the myriad devices throughout the ship, all were excellently crafted.
The Immortal Sect even intended to sell Meng Yu a Fourth Grade Flying Boat Core, but Meng Yu refused.
A Fourth Grade core was almost like an adult child. But since Meng Yu already had a top-tier Third Grade Flying Boat, why not cultivate one himself?
Even the best core is not as useful as an obedient core.
By the eleventh month, adjustments were completed. Master Lihua and Fairy Taohua stayed at the Moon-Watching Sect to strengthen its capabilities. The twenty-two Golden Cores returned, carrying Meng Yu’s message back to the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect.
A Foundation Building Cultivator who ensured a Golden Core, with an eighty percent chance for Nascent Soul, and resources enough to reach Divinity Transformation, yet told everyone that the world was so vast, he wanted to see it.
The most awesome yet false statement:
"My sword has become dull, and I wish to see the view from the peak."
The truth, however, is: there is a bird that dies once it touches the ground. When the sword dulls, the person slackens too, so sharpen it, and he will roam the Central Plains, ensuring his own safety first.
If there were a chance to become the Lord of the World, to be a hundred times stronger,
when Meng Yu had 300 Golden Cores, he once considered whether to use their power to directly destroy all the forces of the Western Wastes and then make the decision to unify it.
Regrettably, he ultimately vetoed this proposal.
Eliminating the Sky-splitting Sword Sect was done for justifiable reasons, and no one could object. But if he had started wars with other forces on made-up excuses, guess whether they would have been driven to desperate actions, including seeking help from friends and support even from beyond the Central Plains, or perhaps even bringing some leviathan from deeper waters?
Or maybe the enemy would simply engage in guerrilla warfare, employing all kinds of insidious tactics.
And the 300 Golden Cores were restricted by an agreement with the Moon God, and even if many more were summoned, then what?
It would only lead to more troubles, spiraling out of control!
While the cultivators from Immortal Sect kept shouting to annihilate the other Three Great Sects, if Meng Yu really did so, would Immortal Sect still trust him?
And indeed, it turned out that the leader of Western Wastes was not the Lord of the World.
Twenty-two Golden Cores relayed Meng Yu’s half-truthful words back to the Immortal Sect.
Then, even more people got wind of Meng Yu’s intentions, including those below him.
...
In the twelfth month, Meng Yu maintained his good habits, balancing the length of time between two sides, and then, in the first month of the next year, after various discussions at the higher levels of Immortal Sect, which even alarmed a True God Transforming Master, they reluctantly approved Meng Yu’s actions and decided to support him.
This reluctant approval stemmed from everyone still trying to persuade Meng Yu not to risk being at the frontline but rather, to preserve himself and strive to live as the greatest contribution to Immortal Sect. Meng Yu forcefully rejected this proposal, as for the proposal that Immortal Sect dispatch Golden Core Nascent Souls to explore the Central Plains, Meng Yu peacefully sat back, waiting for Divine Skill Secret Manuals and Opportunity Spirit Pills to fly into his mouth, which he vehemently refused.
Some things, like consummating a marriage, must be done oneself.
Having no other choice, Immortal Sect decided to support Meng Yu by giving him a formal status.
Immortal Sect specifically made a documentary for this purpose, narrating Meng Yu’s actions in the Western Wastes, including scenes of 300 Golden Cores being employed, emphasizing their gains within the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.
The biggest takeaway wasn’t Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicine, or precious resources, but many scrolls from within the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.
Formations, Talismans, Alchemy... these research achievements spanning over a million years.
Many paths, costing billions, are just for verifying a set of failed data, with hundreds to thousands of people laboring for decades just to forge a path; yet, the scrolls from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect brought great benefits to Immortal Sect.
This was also why Immortal Sect let the 300 Golden Cores go work abroad, even risking their lives.
The fall of the Inca Empire is the best warning.
Some things are more precious than Spirit Stones!
Immortal Sect needs them to fight to gain knowledge from another world.
Immortal Sect passed a resolution, due to Meng Yu’s extraordinary contributions, all previous accusations against him were officially absolved, and he was also made a member of the council of Immortal Sect, enjoying the same status as a Golden Core.
The front gates of Immortal Sect finally opened for Meng Yu, allowing him to walk in freely, and banter with everyone.
Including recruiting Golden Cores, Nascent Souls, and even True Gods.
