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

Chapter 148 Seems Something Is Not Right

Penglai University.

One of the five most prestigious universities of the Immortal Sect, it enrolled only a very limited number of students each year and was pursued by countless people.

Zhuge Caihua was studying here. While Meng Yu posted, Master Lihua was discussing a topic with a professor at the university. However, now the topic had been temporarily put on hold as a favor to Master Lihua. Penglai University had drawn in a batch of elite forces today, including three Golden Core Masters and sixteen Foundation Building Cultivators, to perform on-site evaluations of Meng Yu's project.

Everyone casually chatted while discussing whether Meng Yu's ideas could succeed. Someone even dug out some old research from a pile of documents to show everyone that Penglai University had once had a similar plan. Huge investments were made, only to abandon it after repeated failures.

Raising a difficult point, even if a Minor World was promoted to a Second-Order World, it could only execute some Second-Order spells, and then you want to use Second-Order spells to control the tide of Spiritual Energy, the consciousness of Heavenly Dao?

We only hire employees who have worked for four years.

I just graduated from college, how could I have work experience?

You should go work.

But you don't recruit!

The vicious cycle was stuck right here, and there were still many problems that currently had no solution.

"Speaking of which, that kid Meng Yu, he really is..."

Someone sighed helplessly. Everyone was from the Ivory Tower, and theoretically, they had a great disdain for criminals, but Meng Yu was just too unconventional.

"Is it possible to let him, as before, reach an agreement with the Immortal Sect and continue serving the sect?"

"That's impossible. The Moon God will not accept such a proposal, and now no one trusts each other anymore. Why should Meng Yu turn himself in? It's like a person with nothing to worry about who is now living happily and peacefully outside the domain. Who could persuade him to come back and be imprisoned?"

Just then, the forum showed that Meng Yu had logged in.

Right, there were also many disputes under the radar regarding Meng Yu's account issues.

The Enforcement Hall once sent a letter demanding the xxx company block Meng Yu's account. The communication company, usually very compliant, was fiercely resistant this time and firmly disagreed. The reason?

A manager from the communication company privately stated that most of their users and profits came from First-Grade and Second-Order Minor Worlds. If Meng Yu's account were blocked, guess if he would draw his sword to seek justice?

If a communication company had its signal towers, software, etc., become unusable suddenly for ten days to half a month, it would definitely lose a large number of customers permanently!

The incidents that happened later proved the communication company's judgment right. Luckily, they hadn't blocked Meng Yu's account, otherwise unthinkable incidents would have occurred.

It was said that they had always sent regulations privately to Meng Yu. The regulations clearly stated what could be said and what should be expressed subtly online, including a professional team to handle Meng Yu's statements. Even if a certain comment by Meng Yu needed to be withdrawn, there would be customer service to leave him a message instead of using computer customer service.

Well, these were all different issues. In the next moment, Meng Yu started posting new threads on the forum.

One picture after another, one idea after another—Bai Qianqian felt her research had run into a dead end. But this was another world, with an accumulation of a million years!

In fact, this project couldn't be deemed unsuccessful. After all, it was once thought to have potential, and after a million years of experience gained from deceiving countless victims and big shots through trial after trial, those deceived big shots provided technological investments and helped solve problems because they thought it had potential!

This was a project that had continued for a million years, and the value contained within might even tempt a Divinity Transformation Master.

Commercial fusion energy is only fifty years away—take a look, will you?

Different approaches, bizarre inspirations, and ways to solve problems... One could say that Meng Yu even felt, with proper management, it wouldn't be a big problem for an Immortal Sect's Divinity Transformation to annihilate the Zhao Family.

From Meng Yu, Bai Qianqian had received the Immortal Sect's foundational formations, as well as historically published papers about the Son of Heavenly Way and similar projects. After spending half a year, she put together an investment-seeking PowerPoint presentation.

Then, Meng Yu released a small part of the basics about the Son of Heavenly Way issue.

Nine images, a plethora of text explanations—a PowerPoint version 1001482 used by a rabbit to lure people into a pit.

"Let's see what kind of surprise this little guy Meng Yu can bring us."

The Golden Core Masters maintained their composure, casually viewing the content projected on the virtual screen before them. At the same time, students projected the relevant images and text onto a large screen.

"This overall diagram looks very interesting. It is quite similar to the design concept of the Mountains and Rivers Map. Hey, hey, it even has hints of the Nine Curves River Map. How did they merge together?"

"Hold on, hold on, what's with this design? How could it even be possible? A Second-Order spell could achieve this, are you joking?"

"Something isn't right, isn't right. Look at this line of text, doesn't it feel familiar? I've been researching a certain aircraft recently, and there seems to be a problem with power output that might be confirmed here. Hey, how is this possible?"

The Golden Core Masters' thoughts were incredibly agile, not to mention their powerful Divine Sense assisting them. Today, all the technical staff had arrived, and they were academic leaders in various fields. While many Foundation Builders were still pondering, these experts had found some very strange and exciting things from these blueprints!

The PowerPoint presentation had to be exciting. This was something that could excite Nascent Souls and Divinity Transformations!

Moreover, there's a very important point: many of the things inside have never appeared in the Immortal Sect!

The exchange of technology is extremely, extremely important!

The Eastern Empire has gone through repeated cycles of history, unable to break through the historical cycle for two thousand years, until the Westerners' battleships arrived.

In their most destitute times, the Western World relied on the civilisations of the Arabs and the Easterners to regroup and sprout anew.

As for the Black Continent, well, let's not talk about it, basking in the sun and eating fruits is so comfortable.

And as for the American Continent, because there was no exchange, they didn't even have iron and horses, they even had square wheels!

Many things are separate Immortal Art Trees. Once a certain path is cleared, other paths are naturally abandoned. In fact, it's possible that those discarded paths might have been the correct ones, or even the only correct ones, but they are no longer inquired about.

This time, Meng Yu uploaded nine high-definition blueprints and a series of textual explanations. These were the rabbits' pride and joy PowerPoint presentations, perfected and adjusted over a million years, having fooled and scammed countless bigwigs, including those adept in Divinity Transformation!

So, could they deceive the heavyweights of the Immortal Sect?

Meng Yu didn't know. When he was uploading, he felt as though he might have done something wrong. After all, he had only started learning formations half a year ago under Bai Qianqian's tutelage, and much of it was still incomprehensible to him. What if there was something incredibly peculiar in it? What then?

Well, let the bigwigs see it. Even if they couldn't be lured, they would surely give face to Master Lihua. They have too much idle time, to the extent that the Immortal Sect has incessantly been talking about punishing academic corruption and cutting this project and that. Now there's a water-to-oil project, and surely everyone will be in tacit agreement to scam funds from higher up...

"Master, Master."

Today was a meeting, with four Golden Cores and sixteen Foundation Buildings. The Qi Cultivators were just there to pour the tea. Because of her special relationship with Meng Yu, Zhuge Caihua had an extra seat next to her master.

Look and listen more, don't speak out of turn, and definitely don't defend Meng Yu.

These were Master Lihua's exact words.

"Research in Immortal Techniques is a very serious matter. Right is right, wrong is wrong. If you have the truth, a Qi Cultivator can slap a Nascent Soul in the face. But if you make a fundamental mistake and get accused, don't stubbornly argue back. These three masters are very picky and serious academic leaders."

When she arrived, she had already contemplated that the results of today's meeting might be ugly. The fundamental issues that Meng Yu brought up were quickly pinpointed for their logical flaws by the four Golden Cores and sixteen Foundation Establishments. The Changdong Minor World she had invested heavily in was now weighing heavily in her hands, and she had to explain to Meng Yu not to show off too much or be excessive!

After all, Meng Yu spent most of his time martial training, alchemy, robbing, fleeing, enjoying fine foods, and even watching movies... When he chatted with everyone in the group, sometimes he would mention these things. A meal from the wait to finish takes two to three hours, and he still critiques the latest Immortal Sect movies on whether they are good or not!

Therefore, the master didn't think Meng Yu had achieved anything in formations; the so-called Void Shifting was actually a natural Divine Skill, not a formation at all!

But what happened in the end?

Zhuge Caihua sat beside her master, eyes wide open.

Meng Yu posted nine drawings, and the master immediately froze, sitting motionless, not even speaking, but conversing with the Golden Core bigwigs beside her through Divine Sense!

Yes, talking was too slow; the four Golden Cores simply used Divine Sense to communicate rapidly!

Look at how excited and flushed they are, what's happening?

Who am I, where am I, what am I seeing?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say yesterday that Meng Yu's project couldn't succeed, Master? Why are you suddenly so excited? I even recorded your sworn statement. Should I play it for you?

All of a sudden, Zhuge Caihua's wristwatch began working, someone... her master logged into her personal account and started sending messages to Meng Yu.

The master's attitude was very nice, nothing like the arrogance of yesterday. On the contrary, the tone was sweet and affectionate, each message ending with either a smile, a wink, or an embarrassed expression!

But why are you sending messages like a torrential downpour, one after the other, as if someone has dug around your roots, you're in a panic, you're in a panic!

She wanted to stop her master but was met with a fierce glare. Alright, the master was now like a dog guarding its food, so despicable.

Finally, Meng Yu replied.

"Who are you?"

Alright, Meng Yu felt it; this wasn't her. Apologies, her dunce intelligence was insufficient and Meng Yu caught on.

"I'm Cai Hua, your adoring fan."

The master typed away frenetically, sending over a dozen of Zhuge Caihua's latest personal photos, including a few revealing shots, along with sweet words, "Master told me to inquire about this, Ah Yu, please help, okay? Master is very excited; she really wants to understand what's going on. Thanks a lot, meow, asking for sponsorship."

The last image showed one of the Six Beasts of the Immortal Sect, that beautiful belle shaking her tail vigorously, that was a private photo of a Golden Core Master!

Zhuge Caihua was so angry that she almost sprouted roots. What on earth is all this?!
