Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Qingfeng Star.

Under the bright lighting, a beautiful woman lay on the bed, her elegant neck shining brilliantly as if it were the most perfect artwork in the world, with a lithe and healthy figure that was enchanting and sexy, every detail making hearts flutter.

Ouyang Zhenxue had been on Qingfeng Star for three months, yet she still hadn't seen Meng Yu.

That day, she had decisively released an apology video and afterwards, Bai Qianqian appeared and formally negotiated with Immortal Sect, ultimately reaching an agreement between both sides.

Immortal Sect sold Bai Qianqian a planet and opened up a free-trade zone, and in return, Bai Qianqian and Meng Yu (without Meng Yu showing himself) promised not to engage in illegal activities in Immortal Sect's domain, which naturally included ceasing the act of pursuing vendettas against their old enemies. This granted Ouyang Zhenxue and the Ouyang Family peace.

People can change, even when facing deadly foes.

The Ouyang Family's attitude towards Meng Yu had evolved from initial disdain and condescension to the series of sentiments described below.

How dare you, it hurts, I'm going to kill him, I'll never forgive, such big losses, I won't be in trouble myself, right, why are people staying so far from me, I hate Divine Thunder, ow ow ow, I can't even sleep peacefully, how did I survive this month, how could our planet be destroyed by them, why are they so immoral, will it ever end, Immortal Sect you must take a stand for us, actually negotiation isn't out of the question, it's all Ouyang Zhenxue's fault, that idiot, we concede, stop it, we can't take it anymore, what do we have to do for you to let go, big brother please spare us...

Strong individuals seek vengeance for grievances, while only the weak talk about forgetting hatred when they have no other choice, voluntarily shedding their armor and kneeling to beg for a chance.

Ouyang Zhenxue had obtained peace, but her heart was still filled with trepidation.

Meng Yu was now at Foundation Establishment, and they could have a proper conversation, but what about when he reached Golden Core, or even Nascent Soul?

A hundred years might seem long, but by that time, she would still be at the prime of her cultivation as a Golden Core, would Meng Yu seek revenge then?

Definitely, if she didn't clarify things while he was still at Foundation Establishment, she wouldn't even be able to step through the door later.

So she came to Qingfeng Star, repeatedly tried to contact Meng Yu, expressing utmost sincerity, vast and endless... but sadly, he never replied to her private messages.

Huh, why are there several more videos in the group, and a betting post?

"Meng Yu is entering secluded cultivation to master the Sword Intent of Earth. Place your bets, will it be one day, one week, one month, or one year?"

The bet amount wasn't substantial; each person bet ten thousand units.

Ouyang Zhenxue's gaze flickered as she contemplated choosing one year.

Back when she was at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, it took her a full year to cultivate her martial arts True Intent, balancing her body, refining her spirit, and enduring arduous practice. The genius of the Ouyang Family spent a year to achieve martial arts True Intent, which is why she knew just how difficult it was to cultivate Sword Intent!

And it was her first martial arts True Intent!

Whereas Meng Yu was cultivating his fourth Sword Intent.

Cultivating multiple martial arts True Intents isn't about having more but the easier, rather the opposite: the more you have, the more likely they conflict. For example, if you understand the Sword Intent of Fire, then the Sword Intent of Water becomes almost entirely incompatible with you. No matter how much you practice, the Barrier of Perception will cause your efforts to fall short at the most critical moment.

Ah, Meng Yu has mastered both the Sword Intent of Water and Fire?

If it wasn't for the fact that he was Meng Yu, she would have directly answered, impossible. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

What a daydream, Wind, Fire, Water... already three Sword Intents, and he still wants to condense Earth? Isn't he afraid of being torn apart and burst by the four Sword Intents?

The more perfect something is, the less likely it is to exist.

Then, she looked at the group, where most had chosen one month, including one year. As for those saying one day... everyone had their pride, and such flattery was simply too revolting.

So she gritted her teeth and chose one day, and with a sweet and admiring tone, she said.

"Little Brother Meng is a true genius, he can master Sword Intent in just one day!"

Hmph, hmph, if he could do it, she might as well strip naked and go...

It was absolutely impossible.

...

An hour earlier.

Meng Yu was preparing for secluded cultivation.

Before entering seclusion, Master Taohua asked him if he needed to make some preparations.

Condensing Sword Intent was an important matter, and it was crucial to prevent any distractions. When she was condensing her martial arts True Intent, arrays around her cave residence were activated, sealing all entrances and exits, putting the area on high alert, and all organizations on Peach Blossom Star were notified not to disturb the main manager for the time being.

"Oh, is it that troublesome?"

Meng Yu seemed a bit surprised.

"Hmm, even for a genius, it usually takes about a year, and success isn't guaranteed. Although you are a super genius, two or three months is still quite normal. What if something happens in between and you get interrupted? Actually, I suggest you find another planet and enter seclusion quietly, then achieve the Sword Intent. That would be the safest way."

Fairy Taohua earnestly advised.

Then, she saw Meng Yu's disdainful and even rolling eyes, ah no, like a top student looking at an idiot trying to teach him that one plus one equals two, and politely responding in kind.

Meng Yu was good at hiding it, but he didn't realize that he had a very annoying subconscious behavior. Simply put, he glanced at her statuesque and prominent chest, taking an extra look.@@novelbin@@

If he was too lazy to argue or thought the other person's intelligence was low, he had this action to compensate for the insult to him.

She knew the saying "a big chest and no brains," but Meng Yu, why couldn't you show a little more respect to your aunt!

"It won't take that long, very soon."

Meng Yu said amiably, "How about this? You all can post my photo in the group, indicating that I'm about to condense Sword Intent. Sister Lihua, you could also use the time I take to condense Sword Intent as a gimmick to let everyone bet on how long it will take me."

"Is that really okay?"

"No problem, I'll explain it to Cai Hua."

"Really?"

As soon as gambling was mentioned, Master Lihua got excited.

Although she had been punished by her master for gambling, and even recently got a severe scolding from Zhuge Caihua—not because Zhuge Caihua was a rebellious disciple, but because she had voluntarily asked her disciple to punish her—she did want to quit gambling. Especially now that she had the opportunity, she didn't want to delay important matters and even possibly anger Meng Yu.

"A little gamble is refreshing, come on, film a video for me first."

Meng Yu was also very interested. When he first proposed the concept of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, it directly infuriated the Prison Warden, leading to various defenses being broken. After it was shared online, countless people mocked him for his wishful thinking, asking how the four elements could be so simple.

But now, he had slowly made it here, and victory was in sight, so why not show off a little?

Besides, he had other ideas in mind. For instance, what he solemnly told Fairy Taohua and Master Lihua before, that he could help them achieve Nascent Soul on the other side, was actually just a confirmation, not the real secret.

If he didn't say it, wouldn't others have their research teams to figure out that reaching Golden Core on this side would easily lead to achieving Nascent Soul?

Even if a random Qi Refinement Practitioner from the Immortal Sect was asked if they could achieve Nascent Soul by crossing between worlds like Meng Yu and using advanced knowledge to start a business, wouldn't all ten out of ten say that even pigs could do it?

Even pigs could do it, so Fairy Taohua and Master Lihua—the beautiful sisters—surely could think of it too, right? The more Meng Yu hid it, the more uncomfortable it made them, and it even led to other ideas. Since that's the case, it would be better to tell them directly what the conditions for crossing over were.

See, it's not that I'm not giving you a chance, you have to work hard yourselves!

But Meng Yu still felt that this was not enough.

Aren't you all curious to what extent my talent goes?

I'm now laying a foundation to show you how I achieve Sword Intent in the shortest possible time. Then you will wonder, feel uncomfortable, even find it unbelievable, and thus, prepare yourself for the bigger revelations in the future.

Yes, the Golden Core big sisters of Immortal Sect, the slogans they proclaim to the public, each one pure as ice and jade, versatile, intelligent as ice and snow, with seven ingenious talents, extraordinary, graceful and elegant, full of spirit and kindness.

Meng Yu expressed, every woman who had achieved Golden Core was more beautiful than the next, and also deviously cunning, so hard to deceive. He had never seen someone as peculiar as Bai Qianqian.

But then, everyone has moments of being blindfolded by lard, just like how men sometimes suddenly pick up toilet paper for no good reason.

When hearing about a get-rich-quick scheme, that ten thousand could rapidly turn into a billion, any rational beauty would sneer, thinking I have a brain.

But when she personally witnesses her girlfriends, family, or even miracles happening right before her eyes, turning ten thousand into a billion in a single day, then, no matter how smart she is, she will jump in excitement, saying I'm in, and let's not forget that these beautiful big sisters are all full of vigor and ample curves!

Having a big chest doesn't necessarily mean no brain, but all Meng Yu needs to do is to pick out the "big chest and no brain" fellows!

"Why film a video, let's livestream!"

Fairy Taohua also got interested, and her suggestion received unanimous approval from Meng Yu and Master Lihua. All three had the best devices, capable of capturing videos from every angle.

If that's the case, shall we start the bets?

Master Lihua quickly set the time options—one day, one week, one month, and one year.

Hey, how come there's a shameless person who directly chose one day, shamelessly shouting that Meng Yu will definitely achieve Sword Intent within just one day?

Really shameless, that's not how you should curry favor!

...

The two older sisters were livestreaming as they saw Meng Yu enter the Quiet Room. They chatted leisurely and made sure the camera stayed on different angles toward the Quiet Room.

The livestream was only in the new group, but many people commented, each expressing their views.

"Is this really okay?"

"Sigh, he's too impatient, he only achieved the Sword Intent of Water a few months ago, and now he wants to go for the Sword Intent of Earth. Don't you two know to persuade him?"

"No matter what, he should consolidate for at least half a year (unaware that Meng Yu had already spent more than three months on the other side). You two, go and talk to him quickly."

The atmosphere in the group was very friendly, and Master Lihua swiftly answered the group members' comments, while Fairy Taohua began to warm up some wine.

She placed the wine in the water and then lit some Snow Charcoal under the Magic Artifact. The gentle fire slowly heated the Magic Artifact, which in turn warmed the water. An hour later, the wine was just the right temperature, most fragrant to drink.

While Master Lihua chatted with netizens, Fairy Taohua fell into deep thought.

She was thinking about Meng Yu, this person who left a deep impression on her each time they met.

Just like this wine, intoxicating.
