Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 319 - 287: Turning Crisis into Opportunity

The temptation to kill a Nascent Soul was enticing, but Meng Yu quickly regained his composure.

It was like when he had pushed Star Industrial Company to the brink, yet never showed his face again, because by that point, there would certainly be Golden Core shareholders descending from the Upper Realm to fight him with all they had.

What good would killing a Nascent Soul do me? Am I lacking in cultivation techniques or spirit stones?

Why should I fight to the death with him?

And, what was the deal with Mirror Twelve?

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

In an instant, Meng Yu thought of many things.

Thus, Meng Yu stayed silent, even holding his breath and hiding within the rocks, not even allowing his gaze to wander unnecessarily—a Nascent Soul, although suppressed in the Minor World in terms of cultivation, was still extremely keen with their divine sense!

Meng Yu quietly hid there, watching as the opposing team started to search around and then more people came in, but at that moment, Meng Yu silently slipped out from the crevice in the rocks and continued to delve deeper along the underground river.

The situation was peculiar, very strange!

What had Mirror Twelve done to incur the ire of heaven and men and get on the bad side of Eternal Night Palace?

...

Seven days later.

Meng Yu lurked underground, listening to the voices above.

"Uncle Master Chen and the others all disappeared?"

"Five warships, that’s the Sect’s Sea-Calming Divine Needle, all vanished without a trace?"

"True Sage ancestor went to investigate, and when he came back, his face looked particularly bad."

"It’s said the high-ranking experts of the Night Demon Sect did it, they came for revenge."

The news eventually spread, and the Eternal Night Palace below was abuzz with discussion.

And Meng Yu, piecing together everyone’s words, sketched a tapestry of how the Eternal Night Palace’s warships, carrying the Cultivator Legion and five Golden Cores, were attacked by a mysterious existence over the skies of the Black Forest.

The Nascent Soul ancestor charged with defending this place delayed for a day—Meng Yu figured this delay was when a certain savvy elder sensed something amiss, made an immediate decision to try to capture or kill him first, but to no avail. Thus, they left, with dozens of Golden Cores rushing into the Black Forest.

Although there were no survivors at that time, there were ghouls and magical beasts in the Black Forest, and the Nascent Soul True Monarchs immediately captured several magical beasts, learning the details of the incident from them.

Meanwhile, in the Black Forest, several Demon Kings who had fought in the battle fled to other places, telling their friends and relatives what had happened that day, with Memory Stones as proof.

On that day, a Black Sun descended, enveloping everything, and the fleet of Eternal Night Palace, like moths to a flame, bravely counterattacked, but to no avail.

The light twisted, unobservable, immeasurable... the terror of the Great Black Sun day swallowed everything, terrifying them out of their wits.

A True God Transforming Master, or even a Demon Emperor, had taken action!

Some had already linked this incident to Meng Yu, saying that Meng Yu was simply testing his sword, and you dare not give Meng Yu even a sliver of a chance, employing overwhelming force, so Meng Yu’s father, the True God Transforming Master, took action boldly, and Meng Yu was actually the Demon Child of the Dark Demon Sect, and so on.

The disciples above were discussing animatedly, yet Meng Yu listened with a bewildered expression.

It was obvious that it was Mirror Twelve’s doing, and at that moment, Meng Yu also remembered the secret manuals of the Eternal Night Palace that he had helped Mirror Twelve collect these past days.

The inheritance of the Demon Sect is the Heavenly Demon Manual, which is divided into ten volumes. The Curse Demon Sect is incomprehensibly eerie, the Blood Demon Sect devours everything, the Void Demon Sect has an elusive presence, and the Dark Demon Scroll talks about the extreme darkness, where the Eternal Night Palace’s Great Black Sun aims to transform people into human-shaped black holes.

As for the collection of Eternal Night Palace’s secret manuals by Mirror Twelve, Meng Yu hadn’t thought much of it initially. It was common to collect some secret manuals before the Immortal Sect clashed with the Eternal Night Palace. He even joked, saying that the secret manuals he collected were all about Qi Foundation Establishment with only a tiny bit on Golden Cores, the rest you’ll need to complete, shouldn’t be a problem right?

However, Meng Yu had not expected that not only did Mirror Twelve complete them, but he also became the Great Black Sun himself!

Come to think of it, a dying sun, wouldn’t it be apt to cultivate into a black hole or a Great Black Sun?

But why hadn’t Mirror Twelve come over?

Could he have other plans?

Meng Yu had read the Eternal Night Palace’s Mirror of the Black Sun; the Great Black Sun’s cultivation, in the end, would absorb all surrounding matter and even light, radiating anything, never running out of spiritual energy in battle, only growing stronger. In the past, the Dark Demon Sect had a Great Heavenly Demon, unrivaled throughout the world; defeated only at the last moment because his enemies were extremely shameless.

Five Divinity Transformation masters, one to seal heaven and earth, one to separate Yin Yang, one to shield all directions, the remaining two joined by dozens of Nascent Souls and even more Golden Core experts, exiling him to a peculiar celestial body, only then was he destroyed.

Yes, it was then that the Eternal Night Palace betrayed the Dark Demon Sect and got the chance to wash clean its history, later rising to power.

Growing stronger with each battle, never running out, fearless of injury, quickly regenerating...

Meng Yu thought of the dying Mirror Twelve, wondering how he is doing now. Is he, brimming with energy, preparing to settle down here?

This is really not good; such a catastrophe must be returned to the Immortal Sect.

...

Mirror Twelve is in slumber.

His purpose in coming here was not to cultivate, but the secret manuals appeared before him one by one, knowledge chasing after him! He even heard the rhythm of heaven and earth, the accumulation of countless Eternal Night Palace’s cultivations over generations, ultimately coalescing into the Dark Demon Scroll.

It was like becoming a god through worship, like prayers materializing.
