Chapter 108: Invincible in the Current Age!

Qinling Mountains.

While humanity was in the midst of heated discussion, Lu Chuan was lying within the Snake King Palace, leisurely enjoying the prey and Spirit Fruit brought to him by his underlings; his life was truly comfortable.

He had already learned of the actions taken by Xiaoqing, Bai Zhangguan, and his other subordinates outside, yet he showed no reaction.

After all, Lu Chuan knew very well that the Snake King Palace's scale was now unprecedentedly large, and its various buildings had just been completed; if this were to provoke human wariness and lead them to launch an attack on the Snake King Palace, all the previous construction efforts would be in vain.

It would be better to let everyone know the strength of the Snake King Palace and make them feel wary.

"Boss!"

At this moment, Lu Chuan had just finished digesting a piece of prey at the sixth stage of the Shackle Realm and was preparing to continue devouring to increase his strength when Xiao Wu ran in. "Willow God says that a team of human Ability Users has arrived outside, led by the General Alliance Leader of the Human Ability User Alliance, who says they have matters to discuss with you."

"Bai Shijing? Why did he come over?"

Lu Chuan was stunned, and after coming to his senses, he instructed Xiao Wu, "Have Xiaoliu bring them in; no need for special attention."

"Yes!"

About ten minutes later, Bai Shijing and a group of Ability Users entered the Snake King Palace with slightly pale expressions.

Once he regained his composure, he marveled at the Snake King Palace for a moment, then immediately came before Lu Chuan and spoke respectfully, "Respected Lord Snake King, your humble servant Bai Shijing is the General Alliance Leader of the Ability User Alliance."

"This time, your humble servant has come under orders to discuss a matter with Lord Snake King."

"Oh? What matter?"

"In reply to Lord Snake King, this matter is of great importance, so I ask that you..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan understood what Bai Shijing meant.

He directly signaled Xiao Wu and his other underlings to take the rest of the human Ability Users away, then looked back at Bai Shijing, "Speak, what is the matter you have come for this time?"

"Boss, I have missed you so much!"

Bai Shijing spoke eloquently, flattering Lu Chuan for a good while.

Not until Lu Chuan's expression gradually calmed down did he say, "The Supreme Commander of Great Xia, under my persuasion, has decided to cooperate with the Snake King Palace?"

"How shall we cooperate?"

It was the first time Lu Chuan had heard of humans taking the initiative to cooperate with Beasts, so he could not help but feel curious.

Bai Shijing did not dare to delay and hurriedly explained, "Boss, I have heard that our Snake King Palace has recently recruited many people from ancient times, and these ancient people basically all have their own cultivation methods."

"If we could obtain the cultivation methods in their hands, wouldn't that allow the strength of our Snake King Palace to advance even further?"

He sat directly in front of Lu Chuan, raised his head, and said excitedly, "Previously, we caught one unconscious ancient person, and later we caught a few more, though their strength was not strong."

"This is what I am thinking."

"I will send some people to the Snake King Palace under the guise of Communication and cooperation to get those ancient people to spill all their cultivation methods, including their treasure locations and even their understanding of certain secret realms, and then our Snake King Palace can send people to collect them."

"In this way, the Snake King Palace can obtain everything, and we will have more ways to deal with these ancient people in the future."

"As for the Snake King Palace... you only need to provide one or two cultivation methods to appease them."

Hearing these words, a strange look flashed in Lu Chuan's eyes. To be honest, after possessing the Devouring Heaven Power, he did not care much about cultivation methods, but Bai Shijing was very right about one thing—just because he did not need them did not mean the other humans or Beasts in the Snake King Palace did not.

If he could draw upon the strengths of others and keep the best cultivation methods in his own hands, the development of the Snake King Palace would surely advance by leaps and bounds; even if he did nothing, his strength would skyrocket under the support of the Snake King Palace's underlings.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan looked at Bai Shijing, "Then, what does our Snake King Palace need to pay?"

"I don't think the Supreme Commander of Great Xia would be moved by just one or two cultivation methods."

"Boss is wise!"

Bai Shijing gave a cheeky smile, "Besides the cultivation methods, the Snake King Palace needs to promise not to attack human cities in the future; as for those who actively provoke the Snake King Palace, Boss can deal with them however you wish."

"Besides that, if humans encounter attacks from powerful Beasts, the Snake King Palace also needs to send its experts to help Great Xia resolve them."

"After the matter is done, everything belonging to the powerful Beast will belong to the Snake King Palace."

After finishing, Bai Shijing stepped forward and lowered his voice, "These are the true terms of cooperation; as for the Supreme Commander of Great Xia, I only said that the Snake King Palace would not actively attack human cities, and mentioned the cooperation regarding cultivation methods."

"As for the rest, it is all up to Boss's will."

Lu Chuan thought about these words carefully in his mind and felt that it was not impossible to cooperate with Great Xia in this way.

He smiled and agreed, "Fine, let it be done as you say."

"How about this, from now on, you will be responsible for the cooperation with the Snake King Palace."

"Many thanks, Boss!"

Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Bai Shijing began to report some things he had learned to Lu Chuan.

Before this, Lu Chuan had to pay attention to the human world at all times, but now, with his strength, there was basically no need, so he treated it as chatting with Bai Shijing to pass the time.

After Bai Shijing left, Lu Chuan spent the next period of time peacefully devouring within the Snake King Palace, occasionally checking on the status of his underlings like Xiaoqing and Bai Zhangguan, and a long time passed without him noticing.

This day, after a heaven-shaking aura erupted, Lu Chuan reappeared before the underlings of the Snake King Palace and loudly ordered, "Hand over all the prey!"

"This time, regardless of the size of the prey or the strength of the prey, send them all to the Snake King Palace; I will distribute them personally."

"Yes!"

He did this because he had now cultivated to the peak of the Xiaoyao Realm, and he was only one step away from reaching a higher level.

Vaguely, Lu Chuan felt that he was about to touch the true meaning of space in this world, so he intended to make one final push and break through directly.

Of course, before that, he specifically made a trip to Kunlun Mountain, wanting to deal with that ancient person who had been unwilling to follow him and even harbored hostility toward him.

However, after he arrived and searched for a while, he realized that the ancient person at the third stage of the Xiaoyao Realm had long since fled when the Snake King Palace's army marched in all directions, and now he did not know where he had hidden.

For this reason, Lu Chuan did not insist on searching.

He wandered around Kunlun Mountain, sorting out the Beasts and ancient people inside; those willing to submit were brought back to the Snake King Palace, and those unwilling were directly devoured, after which he returned.

From then on, he did not send out any news for a long time, and no one knew what he had gone off to do.
