Sleepless City, within ng Yu's underground palace.
Those who had achieved a Golden Core were among the most talented, restrained, intelligent, and diligent of their peers, staying underground without causing any disruption.
Naturally, there were also plenty of ssage exchanges and casual chats. Although they couldn't bring high-tech products, the exchange of Divine Sense among Golden Cores was even more convenient and faster.
For example, the city of Sleepless City had long been thoroughly understood by everyone – how to occupy, manage, and plunder it. They had ford about a dozen plans: for instance, at the Eternal Night Palace, if Mirror Twelve did not appear, they had a strategy on how to fight as well.
No matter how harsh and dangerous the environnt was, as long as there was hope, everyone was delighted.
As for daily diet and lodging standards, people truly didn't care.
Then, this afternoon, trays of fresh fruit and various delicious foods were delivered.
Usually, ng Yu and the others wouldn't go out to buy various foods and fruits so as not to attract large-scale attention. Why was ng Yu not concerned today?
And Phoenix Eye Fruit? Isn't that a specialty from the Blood God Sect? Soone among the Golden Cores had once thought about introducing this economic crop but discovered that the geographical environnt and the influence of stellar magnetism were very demanding, so the project failed.
Also, all these cans and pastries seed to be made by people from the Blood God Sect, and so recognized the ats inside.
Furthermore, had it been ntioned before that ng Yu wanted to head to the Blood God Sect?
So, what was the deal with these seasonal fruits? They were Wood Elent Golden Cores; they could discern more clearly than anyone how long the fruits had been picked.
"What is going on here?"
Soone curiously asked how ng Yu got hold of the Phoenix Eye Fruits and these items.
"Well, it's tily. Ah Yu wants to hold a eting to discuss what he plans to do next," soone replied.
Master Lihua was eating the fresh Phoenix Eye Fruit and felt very good, the taste was truly superb.
...
That evening, under the full moon, so they had made two young girls and a cat fall asleep, and a group of Golden Cores walked out of the underground.
When joining the workforce, the Golden Cores had to answer so questions.
So extre scenarios they might encounter in inter-world employnt.
Working involved risks; other than death, there was also the possibility of disappearance or delayed return. In such cases, would your spouse, children, parents, or grandchildren be able to accept your disappearance for years or even decades, and would they cause any ssy soap opera-type issues? For example, what if you ca back two or three years or even ten years late and they were driving you crazy by marrying soone else, cheating, or remarrying?
Also, if you found out your return was delayed, yet you had promised soone you would definitely return at a certain ti, would you do everything possible to co back, even if it ant ruining everything everyone had worked for, just to see your family?
Golden Cores unemotionally answered these lodramatic questions, stating, "I am single, I am not insane, I am very lucid," and so on.
As for family issues, they would arrange everything in advance so that even if sothing unexpected happened, it wouldn't trouble ng Yu or Bai Qianqian.
Everyone's answers were very ordinary; they reassured that they would organize everything in advance for their families. Staying there for several years or even longer was fine as this work was an adventure, and they understood the risks involved.
Then, today was the day to unravel the mystery.
Although ng Yu had been at the Blood God Sect for over a month, for the Golden Cores present, only a few hours had passed.
After putting the two little ones to sleep, everyone appeared in the courtyard.
All kinds of fruits and local specialties were set before them to taste, as ng Yu began sharing the events of his recent days.
"Well, everyone knows about so conflicts I've recently had with the Immortal Sect. For example, I've always wanted Qian Qian to co ho with and hoped the Immortal Sect would treat sincerely. But those old geezers took advantage, but wouldn't act decently. They even felt that I hadn't contributed enough, especially with the Mirror Twelve issue. It really pissed off. They recomnded soone problematic and put everyone in danger while I had to clean up their ss. Worst of all, they even said they wanted Mirror Twelve to stay here to establish a branch base! As if!"
ng Yu's words elicited agreent from everyone. He had the status of a sole agent, and now they wanted to set up a subsidiary. If the Immortal Sect stationed people here, ng Yu would lose many of his advantages.
He would no longer be able to show off his Immortal Sect knowledge, his ability to cross worlds would be known by many, his exclusive distribution channels could be replaced by the Immortal Sect, and he would beco the target of countless people. The most desired actions of the Divinity Transformation here were to capture or kill ng Yu. Even the demons he had in the Western Wastes might beco a ans to threaten him!
In simple terms, the upper echelons thought ng Yu should contribute, but in ng Yu's eyes, they wanted to slaughter his entire family!
"I am a reasonable person, and I appreciate everyone coming to help. So no matter how much I clash or fight with the Immortal Sect, I will never let you get into conflicts with the Immortal Sect, nor will I allow you to betray them.
As for using you as hostages? That would be insulting myself. I won't go back on my word."
The barrier shielded all the leaking light, and candles were lit in the courtyard where six hundred Golden Cores silently sat, listening to ng Yu, the number one rebel of the Immortal Sect, drawing big pies for everyone.
Today's ng Yu already had the confidence to make anyone listen to him attentively.
Between people, barriers often arise due to status, power, or even lack of communication. However, in reality, a classy poor man and a classy billionaire could end up as good friends if they were stranded together on a deserted island.
"First, let's unify our thoughts, which is, there's no one here who, upon encountering so opportunities, would not want to beco wealthy, refuses to betray the Immortal Sect, or wants to stop others from earning money, right?"
"No."
Laughter filled the hall from the six hundred Golden Cores.
Everyone here was cunning as a fox. ng Yu's statent intrigued everyone about his plan.
Was ng Yu planning a heist on the Immortal Sect's treasury, or was he going to take down a big shot? Or perhaps...
Soone gazed at the specialty fruit of the Blood God Sect, speculating in their heart.
"Second, my upcoming action isn't about robbing the Immortal Sect, but about robbing the Blood God Sect and the Guanghan Palace!"
ng Yu shared his thoughts with the Golden Cores present.
"Everyone, I am very interested in the Blood River Array Map of the Blood God Sect, and you probably worry that I will turn you into Array Souls, don't you? However, I'm not that sort of person. I gathered everyone tonight only to align our thoughts on capital punishnt, and also to ask what you'd like to eat tomorrow?"
Ah, everyone was montarily stunned.
"Well, we still have about a month before the formal operation. I can cross over to the Blood God Sect and various cities at any ti, to procure many items; I just haven't done so previously. As for now… There has been an accident on Mirror Twelve's end, and I must consider extre circumstances. So, in the upcoming month, I will frequently travel to the Blood God Sect to either purchase or plunder various goods. Each operation will only take a few hours, and if anyone wants to help, I'd be delighted."
"But we aren't short of supplies, and if we really need anything, we could take it from the Immortal Sect," soone raised their hand and inquired.
"The Immortal Sect, always grudging and tight-fisted, wouldn't give the fourth-layer Formation Diagrams or any Divine Artifacts. They fear I might use them internally and generally act as if I owe them. So, I won't bother them this ti. The Blood God Sect has plenty of excellent items; I've scoped out the place, and when the ti cos, I'll transport people instantaneously. We'll fight, kill the enemy, and take whatever spoils of war you want—it's much better than the Immortal Sect's offerings, right?"
Everyone fell silent, their eyes glinting with anticipation.
ng Yu could bring three hundred people at once—of course, if counting the spoils of war, only two hundred. Normally, when people went out raiding, they went in groups of two to five at most, no match for ng Yu bringing a hundred Golden Cores in one heist. And politically speaking, we were targeting the Blood God Sect...
Though the Immortal Sect had maintained relative peace with the Blood God Sect, Guanghan Palace, and other forces over these years, the Golden Cores present rembered plenty of deep vendettas. Moreover, the Golden Cores and Nascent Souls of the Blood God Sect, much like old money landlords, liked to hoard tons of Spirit Stones and treasures like the Blood Soul Pill and Blood Spirit Jade—although the production was bloody, the items trendously valuable.
Then, ng Yu threw out another temptation.
"Everyone, there's been a change. Within this month, I plan to reach the Eighth or Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishnt to confront the crisis."
Each level of Foundation Establishnt normally takes ten years, especially the last several levels where even a genius would need twenty to thirty years. And here was ng Yu saying he aid to reach the Eighth or Ninth Layer within a month?
Then, ng Yu announced that the eting was over, and everyone could go rest. Tomorrow, whatever dish from the Blood God Sect you wanted, he would bring for you.
That's it, that's it?
We still wanted to know how you would go there and what you would do after arriving!
As ng Yu stood there beaming with pride yet acting as if he had a big secret—no, a huge secret—that he wouldn't share with anyone, the Golden Cores clenched their teeth in frustration.
For the Golden Cores, what they craved the most was the opportunity encountered by Fairy Taohua and Master Lihua.
They had co here for a day and upon returning, their cultivation soared by nearly a hundred days-worth in a single day, and the increase was stable, making countless people die of envy!
This was an effect that no Spirit Pill or transmission of Spiritual Energy could match!
Latterly, others participated in the action but received none of such benefits. When they asked those two connivers, they rely smiled, implying that the others just hadn't been lucky enough.
Sharp-eyed ones could see that ng Yu's aura had strengthened noticeably—a significant change in just seven hours!
ng Yu, he had grown stronger!
"Everyone, goodbye."
ng Yu smiled and bid goodbye to everyone.
