Chapter 80 Saving Heaven
This was the first debut of the Immortal Sect's people in Changdong Minor World. For a debut like this, usually more than half of the warriors would take action, and then they would demonstrate their formidable power to the local indigenous people through the collective might of a sword array.
Science, firearms, machinery… Different small planets have different developmental directions; showing off muscles is meant to facilitate better cooperation among everyone.
However, after assessing Meng Yu's true strength, Zhuge Caihua decided to employ the most extreme strategy.
One man to break through tens of thousands!
In a squad of ten people, nine were there as a foil and for backup support to prevent any unexpected incidents befalling Meng Yu, the real opposition force was one person, a warrior named Meng Yu, a man who would cut through tens of thousands of monsters alone!
This seemed extremely irresponsible towards the personal safety of Meng Yu, and even Ma Mingyang, who had parachuted down with Meng Yu, thought this action was too ostentatious.
Those terrifying monsters were, on average, on par with Houtian Warriors, while the powerful ones were at the level of Innate Body Refining, which is equivalent to Qi Cultivation. Although they did not understand spells or martial skills, when there were a multitude of such monsters, their combat power would stack. The pre-battle briefing informed everyone that facing these monsters one-on-one would not be a problem, but caution was required when facing five, and if facing ten, it was essential not to get surrounded but to deal with them in the presence of the main force!
Of course, he felt a little indignant. Everyone who could enter Penglai University was among the most outstanding talents. What about Meng Yu made him so special, and why did they have to support him and let him show off?
For example, now, as the ten people they had descended with formed two squads, one consisted of a sword formation of nine people, and the other was Meng Yu, a sharp edge on his own.
The nine Qi Refinement Practitioners from Penglai University, their auras interlinked and varying in intensity, was like the rocks in the sea that withstood the frontal assaults of the monsters. No matter how fierce the monsters were, the Nine Palaces Sword Formation formed by nine people acted as one entity, reputed to be incredibly powerful… uh, retract that statement, because over at Meng Yu's side, ah ah ah!
What did he see?
That person had become a blurred shadow, moving amidst the monsters at a speed like wind and with a ferocity like fire, carrying out a massacre!
A one-strike kill! Each of his strikes was a one-strike kill!
Whether it was the sword swift as the wind, an attack fierce as fire, or the suddenly strange and blur of a slash, every move was utterly terrifying!
However, he didn't feel the least bit jealous, because one should feel lucky to have such a comrade on the battlefield!
In a mere three minutes, Meng Yu had taken down a total of one hundred and twenty-one monsters!
Everyone still had plenty of True Qi, each feeling as if they had just done a light warm-up!
Was this the tough battle the professors talked about, was this the cautious warning repeatedly given by the teachers?
"How are you?"
Ma Mingyang asked.
"I've spent less than ten percent of my inner strength, all is well. I have a lot of fuel stored in my storage ring. I think we can go big."
In the distance, more monsters were approaching, and at that moment, everyone remembered Meng Yu in the college entrance exam league, that move that everyone laughed at for its rustic and unsophisticated taste, the Whirlwind Flame Sword!
"Great!"
Everyone had observed Meng Yu's Whirlwind Flame Sword. When a large amount of fuel was poured out from the storage bag, and when Meng Yu could control both fire and wind, he became an invincible Hell Messenger in close combat and terrifying in long-range attacks!
The next moment, a fiery dragon soared into the sky!
...
The camera followed Meng Yu's team for three days, and this young man became the most famous figure in the entire Changdong Minor World. Countless people marveled at his terrifying combat power, so much so that even the students of the Immortal Sect felt fortunate for Meng Yu's inclusion.

During the college entrance competition, many viewed Meng Yu with skepticism, as it was all virtual, and he chose to kill under the cover of darkness and through surprise attacks. But now, they had all witnessed the true terror of a supreme expert.
Which Foundation Establishment Stage expert is masquerading as a Qi Cultivation Stage practitioner, blending in amongst us?
But having such a companion is truly wonderful.
In three days, Meng Yu had no rest, but the teams by his side kept changing; whether it was Qingluan Squad, White Bird Squad, or Rongfeng Squad, everyone said that Meng Yu was incredibly cost-effective!
The rescue operation went very smoothly, and this would also become the students' future academic credits.
The Immortal Sect was established on the wasteland, which was the ruins after the early civilization wars.
It was a protracted battle that led to the depletion of resources and Spirit Stones in countless Minor Worlds, electromagnetic disturbances from stellar bursts, and even terrifying entities like Electronic Ghosts. Many suspected that the Path of Immortality had not just triggered solar flares but had also thrown other things into stars. With every major solar flare, there was a chaotic barrage, resembling computer viruses or ghost codes that would strike out. If a planet had sufficient computing power, possessing quantum computers or more advanced hardware, such events could activate certain dreadful beings.
Hence, the Immortal Sect was like a surviving agricultural reclamation team, trying to pick up the torch of civilization after its collapse. Outside, Cold Wind howled, and beasts were aplenty. Only a few strongholds like Supreme Star offered shelter from the elements. Sometimes, when danger struck somewhere, everyone had to carefully weigh the cost of the rescue, painstakingly calculate their resources, and make agonizing decisions.
They even had to consider the treachery of human hearts.
For instance, the survivors from Changdong Minor World could only go to a First Grade world, not Second Grade or Third Grade because, if they did, there would surely be those who would destroy planets for the sake of migration, creating various problems.
The combat personnel were tired, but the logistics staff were even more so.
Every decision they made could affect the life and death of thousands, and sometimes they had to decide to give up on some.
The logistics staff began their tense work. Array Plates were taken out, and a series of simple Healing Formations were deployed. On the other side, another college student set up a Smithing Formation to help process various mechanical cores. There were also devices that used Spirit Stones and plants to produce food, providing sustenance for the gathered populace.
The Immortal Sect encompassed many worlds. Cultivators were not the most useful or powerful, but they were undoubtedly the most versatile and had the least demand for resources, so in the end, the Immortal Sect continued to choose the Path of Immortality.
One person represented a workshop, or a factory, or even a manufacturing coalition.
Many Minor Worlds, with depleted Spiritual Energy, could only vigorously develop technology, but along that path lay biohazards, electronic terrors, viral infections, and internecine strife, making it as fraught with pitfalls as the road of cultivation.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Immortal Sect could only watch them develop in silence, offering a little help wherever possible.
Then, there would always be a path that led astray, and that would be the end of everything.
The Self perishing, the planet perishing.
Supreme Star shining in all directions, Immortal Sect cultivators descend in boxes, which then unfold to form bases, and rescue the masses!
