Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 397 - 326: Losing Face, Three Lists of the Immortal Sect

The sky outside had already darkened, the red Blood Sea spread across the entire sky, and droplets of blood rain fell from the air, stirring ripples on the protective barrier as if sulfuric acid had landed on it, wisps of white smoke rising like icy water droplets beating on red-hot charcoal.

Once the red liquid landed on someone’s body, it immediately corroded into black, fire-like wounds, even causing death.

This was not an attack, but merely the Nascent Soul True Monarch adjusting the weather conditions and the flow of Spiritual Energy, creating conditions for a later, larger-scale attack.

Though Fourth Grade couldn’t enter the world of the Third Grade laws, this type of high and distant attack was unaffected, provided that the Spell’s intensity did not exceed Third Grade.

In the blood rain, the City-Protecting Great Array of Sleepless City began to contract, widening the distance from the Ancestor Blood Shadow, thus saving more Spirit Stones and enhancing safety. Many unprotected houses and buildings quickly blackened, dried, and even collapsed under the relentless blood rain.

This was just the beginning, the upcoming Death Wind, Blood Moon Night, and even the Soulless Flying Boats carrying Netherworld Warriors from the sea of blood were set to destroy everything.

Foundation Establishment into an army, Golden Core annihilates nations, while Nascent Soul itself forms its own realm.

Some people were already shivering and cursing Cao Defang, certainly a collusive spy sent to sabotage Sleepless City.

Others suggested, why not send Cao Defang out?

...

Meng Yu was indifferent to the situation outside, at most heaving a few sighs.

He was curious about the scroll Ancestor Blood Shadow had given him.

For months, Meng Yu on Ceres had discussed various aspects of the Blood Sea Great Formation with the Golden Cores of the Blood God Sect, only to be profoundly disappointed.

It was as if someone went to buy a certain DVD, but was stopped by a police officer who lectured him thoroughly about morality.

Even those in evil cults would declare their intention to destroy the corrupt old world and create a new world, rather than simply dying together.

Except for the Flying Spaghetti Monster cult.

The Blood God Sect’s Blood Sea Great Formation took a righteous path, united as one, battling in blood, unafraid of sacrifice, brothers-in-arms with shared hearts, forming a domain wherein even if they died in battle, they would continue to fight as War Souls, ascending to heaven, descending to the underworld, slaying enemies, protecting homes and the nation.

How could a normal, vast empire consider turning their warriors and cultivators into puppets in the Blood Sea Great Formation, working them to death?

Meng Yu’s misunderstanding stemmed from thousands of years of consistent negative propaganda by the Immortal Sect’s publicity department.

Back then, the Seven Great Transforming Gods had suffered a crushing defeat against the 300,000-strong Blood Knife Legion and had to malign them, saying the Blood River Great Array turned those men into fearless puppets, overwhelmed by sheer numbers, rather than praising their courage and sacrifice.

Then, Meng Yu naively went and asked, "Do you sell this enslavement method of Foundation Building Golden Pills?"

He truly believed it, and they looked at him strangely.

After learning the truth and studying the Blood God Sect’s Blood Sea Grand Formation Map, deep inside he cursed in shock!

No wonder Immortal Sect didn’t allow Meng Yu access to the Blood Sea Great Formation!

Immortal Sect wasn’t worried about Meng Yu having the genocidal Blood Sea Great Formation; that was merely another demon’s problem. But if he possessed the Blood Sea Great Formation that could unite people with a common purpose, training a true Cultivator Legion, that was the real trouble!

The Immortal Sect even thought Meng Yu knew the truth of the Blood Sea Great Formation but pretended ignorance intentionally, planning to pull a genuine team from the Old Immortal Gate!

This matter embarrassed Meng Yu across hundreds of light-years, but the persistent Ming Yu still felt he should make an effort.

For instance, to study what exactly was this side’s Blood Sea Great Formation?

Meng Yu looked at the blood sea above, which was a genuine Blood Sea Great Array—a.v.i indeed.

It was rumored in the Cultivation World that Ancestor Blood Shadow was most skilled in the Blood River Great Array, and the blood sea overhead also looked incredibly formidable. Meng Yu thought that this scroll might just be an entry point into the Blood River Great Array.

He eagerly opened the scroll.

However, upon opening the scroll, Meng Yu discovered that the human skin was merely a decoration; the real treasure was a painted scroll inside, featuring pavilions, courtyards, trees, flowers, ocean waves, and lifelike figures, all exuding an extremely profound aura that revealed what this object was.

It was one of the three rankings of the Immortal Sect—the Ascension List!

The human skin exterior was just a gimmick, used to intimidate or show off, but the real treasure was a separate document inside.

"Ah, it’s the Ascension List!"

Ao Wu paused, then explained to Meng Yu about the contents within the scroll.

It was an invitation to the Ascension List.

A million years ago, there was a major Sect in the Cultivation World, which eventually collapsed but left behind several Divine Artifacts, such as the Ascension List among the three rankings.

The Ascension List, briefly stated, was the former Immortal Sect’s college entrance examination process—registration, competition, leisure, all included, providing students the experience of leaping through the dragon gate.

The Investiture of the Gods was the Immortal Sect’s civil service system, where civil servants tirelessly contributed night and day, so much so that their cultivation suffered heavily, leading to the creation of a separate divine path to accommodate them, reaching from earth to heaven, forming an independent system.

As for the other ranking, no one knew its name, but since it had Immortal and God, perhaps another was Human or Demon List.
