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

Blood God Sect, Ceres.

When Meng Yu, enveloped in Evil Qi, appeared before everyone once again, both Yun Zhita and Xia Hailu suddenly began to question their life choices.

Qi Cultivation, Body Refinement, and Divine Refinement are practices of cultivation, among which Divine Refinement is the most difficult. This refinement alone can cause immense headaches. What do you use to refine?

Consuming alchemical elixirs and harnessing nature's spiritual energy can aid in Qi Cultivation and Body Refinement, but Divine Refinement... Divinity is formless, traceless, and even elusive!

The reason the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber is so difficult to master is precisely because Divine Refinement is the most challenging path. Though it can be commenced through Evil Qi, battle intent, or emotions— and the denser these are, the more they contribute—these are not simply about killing people or imagining being cheated on, and then burning with rage to succeed.

If so, you would only end up a lunatic or a madman!

The path of Divine Refinement is so arduous, neither advancing nor retreating, that many people resort to methods like incense offering, faith, or even those of the Evil God to cultivate. Everyday cultivators can only slowly increase their spiritual power through meditation and the like!

However, what did everyone see? Meng Yu's spiritual power was so concentrated that it could almost materialize!

Many cultivators of Divine Refinement enter battlefields or divide their Divine Sense, etc., to accumulate experiences over years or decades, breaking through barriers time and again.

But it had only been a month for Meng Yu.

Hadn't he already absorbed that supremely quality Evil Qi before? How did he have more now?

You work hard outside, earning two hundred a day, while your roommate spends millions sent by his family in a month. You think he must regret it, but in the next moment, his account receives another billion!

"It's okay, mainly because my talent is particularly suited for Divine Refinement."

Meng Yu said a bit sheepishly, still the same old self after coming from the Cultivation World, making everyone else look twisted and tremble!

We painstakingly cultivate, taking all sorts of opportunities and making endless sacrifices, but to what avail?

"Of course, it's meaningless."

This was said by Fairy Taohua and Hua Miaochai.

The two of them came over with Meng Yu, and each day they lived happily (they had progressed too rapidly last time and stood out too much, so this time they decided to relax more, play more, and rest more), focusing mainly on Artifact Refining and nurturing Spirit Plants.

"Haven't you guys researched Meng Yu's history?"

...

Cultivation, Land of Tenderness, resources, Land of Tenderness, learning, Land of Tenderness.

Meng Yu serenely spent another month at Blood God Sect.

Thanks to twelve selfless role models.

The Fire Crow was honed over and over, True Qi was forged time and again, and flaws in the techniques pointed out. They even let him die twenty-seven times, filling his Divine Soul with endless Evil Qi!

This further advanced his practice of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, and the Fire Crow Sword Technique was elevated once more. The next time he would battle them, he would use either the Weak Water Divine Sword or one of the Blood River Divine Sword techniques from Thirteen Swords of the Long River.

Others might replace old favorites with new passions, constantly pursuing higher and deeper Swordsmanship skills. But Meng Yu kept reinforcing and refreshing his current mental method and skills, keeping the old framework mostly unchanged. His Sword Intent of the Wind, for instance, stayed firmly tied to White Crane Swordsmanship and Wind-Slicing Strike, still recognizable in combat.

Previously, in battle, he had danced among his foes like an Immortal Crane, with flames, Weak Water, and Golden Sand as different augmentative effects instead of morphing into various different avian features.

Taibai University's Seven Avian Divine Swords, now if Meng Yu wanted, he could easily claim them just like the Blood River Divine Sword of the Blood God Sect, but... Meng Yu felt it unnecessary.

Zhu Yuanzhang became Emperor never hiding that he was once a beggar, and the White Crane Swordsmanship he learned was also good on its own. The basic sword paths were the same; he just needed to keep improving and filling in.

Days passed serenely. Meng Yu stayed in his cave mansion—cultivating by day, dual cultivating by night, and playing occasionally when feeling tired. Whether in Immortal Sect or Blood God Sect, they enjoyed a modern world filled with games, movies, and so on, delighting in happy times.

The previous great battle had deeply impacted him. Relaxation was an excellent form of cultivation.

However, those around him were red with envy!

Previously, Meng Yu had stated his intention to breakthrough from the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment to the Ninth Layer without pausing, which others thought ludicrous.

Yet now... he was advancing rapidly!

Leisurely, as though flying on a plane.

...

Ascension List.

The town was messily demolished, and ultimately no one found any contingency left by Meng Yu. What was most absurd was that during the demolition, Three Extremes True Monarch even invited many outsiders to watch.

Their previous actions had been too disgraceful—so many seniors attacking Meng Yu alone, a blunder reaching the heavens. Hence, they sought an excuse, so to outsiders, it meant Meng Yu was a heretic, a true disciple of the Blood Demon Sect, and they had come this time to prevent this devilish brat from whatever heinous acts. They claimed he was concocting something with corpses in the graves, even using corpses for unspeakable acts, etc.

Unfortunately, many notaries came, and the exhumed bodies and past traces proved he had done nothing wrong.
