NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 404: Better to Leave First
As Meng Yu swung his saber at that instant, the Sect Leaders of the Four Great Sects, along with Master Mi, standing atop the ramparts of Wanbao City, suddenly halted their conversation, their gazes fixed intently over there.
On the battlefields, crimson as blood, suddenly a huge wave surged to the sky, and atop the crest of the wave was the figure of Meng Yu, as he swung his long saber upwards towards the heavens!
An individual's power is always exceedingly weak, but it can gather the strength of thousands, millions, to create miracles. Just as Meng Yu swung his saber, the entire Blood Sea Great Formation also boiled over, with a huge wave rising to the sky and the tidal surge rushing upwards!
On the ground lay countless corpses, and blood merged into streams and rivers, with Spirit Vein Spiritual Energy everywhere, yet at that moment everything resonated in unison!
The giant wave brought the tide, and the tide formed a wave of Spiritual Energy, a full fifty meters high, sweeping over the land like a wall, and there stood Meng Yu at the tip of the surge!
A cycle that was repetitive yet impeccably perfect formed, as if, at the time of heaven and earth's sundering, Meng Yu alone stood paramount!
Do not think that only Meng Yu had thought about upgrading the Ascension List, others had too.
It's just that others had failed time and time again, and now, Meng Yu's saber strike shook the world!
"Disciples of the Four Great Sects, do not harm Meng Yu!"
"Cooperate with Meng Yu, let him do it!"
"Record the fluctuations of Vital Energy!"
"What is happening!"
The Sect Leaders of the Four Great Sects, no longer able to indulge in casual conversation with Pavilion Master Mi, took to the skies, leading the Elders as they charged towards Meng Yu!
The rules of the Ascension List seemed changeable? Seemed upgradable? So now, who was it that held the Ascension List?
You have a piece of land, and an Immortal comes along to turn stone into gold for you, and once the Ascension List is successfully upgraded… Well, everyone would want such a good thing, for the space of the Ascension List is boundless. To seek ascension is akin to upgrading an incomplete Harmonization Treasure to perfection, yet even a short-term local upgrade is a boon!
The key point is, right now the Four Great Sects have leased the Ascension List, allowing everyone to enter it on their land. Whatever anomaly occurs, everyone will have seized the opportunity first!
Numerous thoughts flooded into the minds of the Sect Leaders and Elders, and various plans began to take shape.
Then… Everyone saw the three Nascent Soul Cultivators closest to Meng Yu, members of the Myriad Gold Pavilion, as Meng Yu leaped into the air, ready to face the second Divine Thunder, they struck Meng Yu cleanly and decisively.
Without hesitation, simply.
With a thunderous boom, Meng Yu was struck by the Heavenly Thunder, not even ashes remained!
"You!"
Those who had rushed over quickly recorded the recent changes in the heaven and earth Vital Energy, along with various complaints.
"It can't be, why would you kill him!"
"How was this achieved?"
"What a curious Cultivation Technique!"
"Impressive, impressive. The person who set up the Formation is a genius!"
At this moment, everyone was desperate to know how Meng Yu had managed it.
…
In the Quiet Room, Meng Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
Yet, in his mind, there still lingered the image of that earth-shattering, soul-stirring saber strike!
It was an unparalleled saber strike that took Meng Yu two whole years of preparation, accompanied by countless miracles, to achieve that moment.
The Blood Knife Legion and the Seven Great Transforming Gods, along with the Divine Artifact Army's wars, Meng Yu flipped through the archives and even obtained a relic from those years, sensing the Heavenly Dao of that era.
The accumulation of tens of thousands of years of the Blood God Sect, the wisdom of cultivators of all kinds.
The jade rabbit clan had amassed knowledge and power over a million years.
And then, with the use of the Golden Finger, he achieved miracles over and over again, ultimately leading to the creation of the Four Great Void and the Growing Golden Lotus.
Right... his gaze drifted outside, where he saw a black sun hanging in the sky.
The Deity-Transforming Honored One, Mirror twelve.
...
A quarter of an hour later.
His bones crackled and popped as Meng Yu exhaled a breath as lustrous and translucent as jade.
As a Golden Core Master, his senses had never felt so keen.
There wasn't much more to gain from the Ascension List as a Golden Core, but this time, Meng Yu reaped immense benefits.
The cut he had just made was like the splitting of heaven and earth, gifting Meng Yu with a sense of enlightenment, the likes of which he had never before experienced; he even felt as if the Heavenly Dao was right before his eyes.
The 'transformation' of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber's heavenly principle was something he had grasped tenfold using a strong grip, and now he had a sliver of insight into the subsequent 'offering' heavenly principle.
It was a resonance, an embrace of the world.
The call built from the flesh and blood of a million people, the longing of all living things for the world to be restored!
Just then, with that strike, it felt as though the whole world was tipping over, and he was the sharp edge of this toppling world!
The wisdom and crystalization of several worlds had led him to this moment of glory.
The situation was settled, the big picture was fixed!
That one strike transformed him from a destroyer into a creator!
Now, surely countless people on the Ascension List were looking forward to conversing with him, but Meng Yu was in no hurry.
"I will go into seclusion for a day to reflect on the insights gained from the recent battle. See you in a day."
He had only cultivated briefly for a quarter of an hour just now, but the feeling was still unfinished; so, he decided to head back to the Blood God Sect for more intensive cultivation.
The Formation launched, shielding him from all prying eyes, and then he, along with Hua Miaochai, Fairy Taohua, as well as Furong Fairy... and Master Lihua!
"Humph, humph!"
Seven steps from the door to the window, seven steps from the window back to the door.
The stunning Master Lihua knew!
There she was, standing right in front of Meng Yu in his cave mansion.
She sneered disdainfully, yet helplessly imagining Meng Yu with Fairy Taohua, then paced another seven steps.
She just wanted to know whether Meng Yu would take her along this time or not!
An Immortal Sect Golden Core who had followed Meng Yu into the Cultivation World, her relationship with Meng Yu was the closest. As Zhuge Caihua's master, she was more trustworthy than Fairy Taohua, yet Meng Yu had insisted on choosing Fairy Taohua as his partner to avoid any suspicion, frustrating her to the point of itching teeth, helpless to change the situation.
Especially when her sisters repeatedly asked why Fairy Taohua's cultivation was improving so quickly and why, when Meng Yu didn't bring her along, Master Lihua felt like she might just explode on the spot!
Of course, she knew why, but she still had to smile and say things like it's Fairy Taohua's freedom, not something I can interfere with, and so on.
However, after Meng Yu's encounter with Mirror twelve, her mournful expression as she flitted back and forth in front of him all but raised her hand to say, could you please take me back with you just once?
Of course, Meng Yu could. He even felt embarrassed; Master Lihua did the hardest work, only to be cornered by a close sister—the nature of such cornering was hard to define, but undoubtedly, it had driven Master Lihua to her wit's end.
How did her disciple husband end up together with her own close sister?
"Alright, Sister Lihua, let's go back together."
