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

In the Ascension List.

Sheathing his long sword, Meng Yu looked at the completion of the third set of steles with satisfaction.

These days, the town was full of Qi Refinement Practitioners observing the White Crane Swordsmanship, so Meng Yu, after inscribing the second set of steles, began carving the third set.

White Crane Swordsmanship is an excellent sword technique, easily accessible even for practitioners of Qi Cultivation, but it is also a very profound sword technique. Those who came here to observe the Martial Arts True Intent inscribed upon it could only admire Meng Yu's godly swordsmanship.

From the very beginning, the town was brimming with a constant stream of people.

"So impressive!"

"Sect Master Meng is such a good person!"

"Sect Master Meng, I am willing to take you as my master!"

The area was surrounded by many cultivators, and since no one had to worry about dying on the Ascension List, everyone was even more lively and daring to speak up.

"Hahaha, don't even think about taking me as your master, I am not even thirty yet..."

Meng Yu greeted everyone with a mischievous grin, enjoying the compliments.

With the completion of this set of steles, surely more people would have the chance to observe.

Loose Cultivators often lacked formal inheritances and their cultivation techniques contained many flaws. This competition to recruit disciples by the Four Great Sects was just nitpicking; the bystanders saw the fights, but it was hard to grasp the essence. Most cultivators left empty-handed, but fortunately, they now had a better choice: observing the White Crane Swordsmanship.

The only regret was that each person was only allowed to approach the stele for one hour each day, then they had to leave to give more people a chance.

"Sect Master Meng, what does it mean on the wooden plaque, 'eat my saber'?"

Someone asked this question.

There were many slanders outside about Meng Yu, such as the Blood Demon Sect killing without blinking, White Crane Swordsmanship concealing back doors, and urging everyone not to learn it, etc.

Not to mention all the speculations about "eat my saber," with some saying it meant selling one's soul, among other things.

"Hmm... among the cultivation techniques I've practiced, there is a sword technique called the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber."

"Blood Transmutation Divine Saber?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.

This cultivation technique was the most infamous technique of the Blood Demon Sect—sinister, brutal, and required sacrificing countless lives during practice. Once mastered, it was a killing tool, extraordinarily vicious.

"The Blood God Sect and the Blood Demon Sect are different sects. The Blood Transmutation Divine Saber I learned has nothing to do with the Blood Demon Sect's saber technique; it's merely a coincidence in names."

Meng Yu shook his head helplessly, his voice amplified by Spiritual Energy, heard by everyone around him.

"Of course, since it's called the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, it naturally needs to be achieved through slaughter and human lives. Our predecessors used the lives of demonic beasts and criminals to cultivate the divine technique. But in reality, I can't just take innocent lives for no reason to test my saber, can I?"

Meng Yu's voice reached everyone's ears. Some people scoffed, while others showed a look of admiration.

After enjoying a delicious duck, there will always be people who want to meet the chef. After watching a vulgar film, many will immediately seek out more of the series.

Thus, many also went to Meng Yu's channel to see what else he had posted, and then they would discover news about the civil governance of Sleepless City and its daily construction.

Those on the path of cultivation, even if they can't remember everything they see, still have sharp ears and eyes and excellent memories. Having seen these posts, some would mock, some would be bored, but of course, some thought Sleepless City wasn't bad.

Meng Yu was a diligent and people-loving superior, so many preferred to believe that Meng Yu was also a good person.

"I am about to achieve my Golden Core. I've been lucky to encounter the Ascension List, so I hope the friends who have learned a sword technique from me will give me a chance, 'eat my saber.'

This saber, known as the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber.

Blood Qi is our spirit, then refined through this sword technique; it's similar to Qi Cultivation Divinity Transformation and all that, just with some additional secrets."

Meng Yu shared with everyone the general principles and theories behind the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber.

White Crane Swordsmanship might be easy to start but difficult to master, however, the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber was challenging for any amateur, but that didn't mean others couldn't learn its flashes of brilliance.

As for the details, sorry, the grand techniques cannot be passed on lightly, unless the price is right.

"Sect Master Meng, is there any benefit to 'eating your saber'?"

"Not much."

"Is it possible to master the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, sort of like comprehending more?

"Wishful thinking."

Meng Yu said calmly, "If 'eating my saber' allowed someone to comprehend a set of techniques and jump from Qi Cultivation straight to Foundation Establishment, then it's not even worth considering. If that were the case, I would have given it to my own people long ago."

"Hahaha!"

The surrounding cultivators also laughed; Meng Yu was an honest man.

"Many wonder why I would share the White Crane Swordsmanship with everyone. It's solely because I'm looking for an equivalent exchange. You all come to learn my sword technique, and after learning it, you have to 'eat my saber.'"

The town chosen by Meng Yu only had two Teleportation Portals, the closest one to Meng Yu's side took at least ten minutes. The one further away, Meng Yu had someone block up.

"Everyone has been observing for a good ten days now, but I thank you all for coming. So, starting today, the promotional discount ends, and from tomorrow on, those who come to learn the sword will have to pay the price."

Meng Yu looked at the thirty-nine floating steles in the sky, just enough for everyone to raise their heads and inspect meticulously. In addition to detailed interpretations, there were also the sword marks left behind by Meng Yu using Martial Arts True Intent.
