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

The next morning at the Immortal Sect embassy on Ceres.

Li Juncai, who had returned late last night, was surrounded by many people asking who Xiao Jun was.

Although True Sage Mi treated him well, Li Juncai naturally had no idea who Xiao Jun was, but he was extremely unhappy with Ouyang Zhenxue.

Because she had uttered that sentence.

She had misjudged Meng Yu in the past, but this time, she absolutely would not misjudge Xiao Jun.

What a joke, this wasn't helping Xiao Jun, it was sending him to his death! Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire

Last night, he had received a message that Xiao Jun would come to visit him today to ask for help with some procedures and so on; Li Juncai had declined all other work for the morning just to wait for him.

At eight in the morning, upon seeing Xiao Jun for the first time, Li Juncai felt that the man seemed a bit too ordinary.

It wasn't that the man wasn't handsome; his appearance was quite refined and gentlemanly, blending into the crowd like a schoolteacher, not too dazzling, more like an ordinary person.

He had heard quite a few pieces of news, many of them contradictory.

Leaving aside other matters, the fact that Ouyang Zhenxue fell out with her father over Xiao Jun was simply unbelievable.

He looked again at the accompanying Ouyang Zhenxue, the pride of the Ouyang Family, a genius who achieved Golden Core status by one hundred twenty-four, typically high and mighty, but now she was following Xiao Jun with proper decorum, with a very polite attitude, and even somewhat... ingratiating?

What kind of talent had made her admire this young man so much?

"Brother Xiao, hello, I am Li Juncai, welcome to Ceres, I'm sorry for not being able to help yesterday, come, let's go have a meal outside and talk about the situation here."

Bringing Meng Yu with him, he quickly completed the procedures. While speaking, he also noticed Ouyang Zhenxue, who followed Xiao Jun the whole way like an obedient little wife, not saying much.

Huh?

Li Juncai once again upgraded his opinion of Meng Yu.

Although Xiao Jun appeared to be at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, his cultivation seemed to be the Pure Yang Technique.

"Brother Xiao, are you cultivating the Pure Yang Technique?"

Nowadays, the Pure Yang Technique had become infamous, but as a negative example.

The conflict between Meng Yu and Hall Master Zhao back in the day was, in essence, because Meng Yu didn't want to learn the Pure Yang Technique. He even jumped off a building and betrayed the Immortal Sect rather than agree; many people later mocked this mental method. And now, Xiao Jun was cultivating the Pure Yang Technique?

"No."

Meng Yu's mouth twitched, feeling quite despairing indeed.

Of course, one had to disguise well when trying to pass as someone else.

Before coming to Ceres this time, he had made many preparations, like Master Lihua and Master Taohua helping him construct a perfect identity.

Xiao Jun did indeed exist and was a swordsmanship prodigy, but he later perished in a certain secret realm; his identity was then employed by Master Lihua.

Identity could be forged, but if Meng Yu went to Ceres using the Shaoyang Mysterious Skill and the Four Great Sword Intents, unless the observers were blind, they would spot discrepancies.

Luckily, Meng Yu's current cultivation technique could no longer be classified as the Shaoyang Mysterious Skill.

After achieving the Way of the Dawn, Meng Yu's Shaoyang Mysterious Skill underwent a miraculous change, with the originally immense and gentle True Qi transforming into an existence both clear and pure.

Then, with the aid of Mirror Twelve and the Great Solar True Fire, Meng Yu purified and refined both the Shaoyang Mysterious Skill and the Fire Crow. Thereafter, with the support of three hundred Golden Core experts alternating their help to purify Meng Yu's Shaoyang Mysterious Skill, and with many people providing guidance on cultivation, Meng Yu's Shaoyang Mysterious Skill was completely revamped.

It became a technique very similar to the Pure Yang Technique.

However, whereas Hall Master Zhao's Pure Yang Technique emphasized engulfing all other techniques and also made it difficult to cultivate other methods—similar to a company being taken over and having its power uncontrollably usurped—Meng Yu's technique was forged through his own efforts, evolving from mixed to pure, from Shaoyang to the ultimate stage of Innate purity provided by the Way of the Dawn, which became the foundation of Meng Yu's new cultivation technique.

During the subsequent eight months of his journey, Meng Yu had not once ceased his cultivation. Therefore, anyone who saw Meng Yu's technique would know the man before them wasn't Meng Yu because how could the proud and arrogant Meng Yu secretly cultivate this?

"Your caution is right."

Xiao Jun not admitting he cultivated the Pure Yang Technique was truly good because now Meng Yu was at the peak of his influence, with countless individuals eager to curry favor. Should a genius who cultivates the Pure Yang Technique and has good swordsmanship suddenly appear, that would be a true challenge.

After all, there was the outrageous statement from Ouyang Zhenxue, who conceded her error in judging Meng Yu but claimed she absolutely could not be wrong about Xiao Jun.

Such words were really putting Xiao Jun on a spit over the fire.

"Xiao Jun, could we have a little spar later?"

The speaker was a Martial Officer from the Immortal Sect on Ceres, a martial arts Golden Core Expert. He had insisted on joining them today; the first reason being his interest in Ouyang Zhenxue and the embassy requiring a corresponding escort, and secondly, because many were curious about how strong Xiao Jun's combat abilities truly were.

After so many developments yesterday, especially since Ouyang Zhenxue had mentioned Meng Yu, interest had been piqued. Some even specifically inquired with Panda Huahua, to which the Nascent Soul Master replied he couldn't see through Xiao Jun.

"The young man is very impressive, a true Golden Core seed. Old Ouyang made a mistake this time, but Ouyang Zhenxue actually has good insight."
