Chapter 1025: The Embarrassed Sages

"Mosquito Daoist!"

Laozi and the others frowned, secretly performing Calculations.

Very quickly, they understood all the information regarding Mosquito Daoist.

Its mouthparts were the sharpest things in the world, capable of piercing anything, including Innate Great Arrays.

Their expressions were unsightly, because this Mosquito Daoist was only at the Peak Great Luo, and it had grown by secretly devouring the corpses of countless cultivators during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity and the various great battles that followed.

It was precisely this kind of minor character that had actually managed to get there first twice, snatching away the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

This was a blatant slap in the face.

They wanted to calculate the whereabouts of Mosquito Daoist, but discovered that the Heavenly Secret was in chaos, making it completely impossible to calculate.

However, they were not surprised; Mosquito Daoist's talent was somewhat heaven-defying, and if it did not possess extraordinary methods for concealing its tracks, it would have been discovered and executed long ago.

"Damn it!"

Haotian clenched his fists tightly.

He was furious, his hatred soaring to the heavens.

The opportunity he had begged for from his master had actually become a wedding dress for Mosquito Daoist.

His dream of unifying the Three Realms was shattered from this moment on.

The hatred of Yaochi Jinmu was no less than that of Haotian, because the Huangzhong Plum and the Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus were right before her eyes, and she had only been a few breaths behind Mosquito Daoist.

Yet it was those few breaths that caused her to miss out on the Huangzhong Plum and the Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus.

A long time passed.

Zhunti Daoren said: "Fellow Daoists, what virtue or ability does Mosquito Daoist have to dare possess the Hongmeng Purple Qi? He is merely a Peak Great Luo; if he wants to refine the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he must first cultivate to a Peak Quasi-Saint."

"Moreover, according to my calculations, he possesses no Innate Spiritual Treasure."

"To perform Corpse Severing, one must first obtain three Innate Spiritual Treasures."

"As long as we join forces and lay out a plan in advance, we will certainly be able to catch him given enough time."

Mosquito Daoist's talent might not be inferior to Minghe Laozu, but wanting to cultivate to a Peak Quasi-Saint—not to mention whether he even had the possibility—would take at least three to four million years.

Furthermore, if he wanted to perform Corpse Severing, he would definitely have to scheme for Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Innate Spiritual Treasures were limited in number.

As long as they laid a trap in advance, for example, by secretly leaving a mark on the Innate Spiritual Treasures.

If Mosquito Daoist seized a treasure, he would be seeking his own death.

Yin Qi smiled inwardly, and he was the first to respond: "This method is feasible."

Tongtian, Haotian, and the others also nodded one after another.

Yin Qi looked around at everyone and said: "Having finished discussing Mosquito Daoist, let us next discuss the two islands of Yingzhou and Fangzhang. My Great Shang Celestial Dynasty wants Yingzhou Island; you all should have no objections, right?"

Chiyou sneered coldly: "With so many factions here, by what right does your Great Shang Celestial Dynasty occupy an island all by itself?"

Although they had lost the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the Innate Spiritual Roots, and the Spirit Treasures, the value of the Yingzhou and Fangzhang islands was immeasurable; not only did countless Immortal Seeds grow on the islands, but there were even Acquired Spiritual Roots.

The Yingzhou and Fangzhang islands themselves were the top-tier cultivation sites in the Honghuang.

Take Fangzhang Island for example: deep beneath its surface lay an Innate Spiritual Vein that could continuously emit Innate Spiritual Qi, something other Dongtian Fudi could not possess.

Of course, with the appearance of the two islands, this Innate Spiritual Vein would gradually degenerate.

After more than a hundred thousand years, it would decay into an Acquired Spiritual Vein.

However, even an Acquired Spiritual Vein would be comparable to the Ancestor Dragon Vein on the Primordial Continent.

Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and the others all looked coldly at Yin Qi, because they desired these two immortal islands even more than Yin Qi did.

As the Primordial Continent was covered by the Forbidden Air Array, they had to find new cultivation sites.

Undoubtedly, these two immortal islands were the most suitable.

Even if Chiyou had not jumped out to object, they would have objected anyway.

Yin Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently: "Because my Great Shang Celestial Dynasty is the strongest. If anyone is not convinced, you can have a bout with us. Of course, you are all welcome to join forces; I will take on all of you."

The expressions of Laozi and the others were unsightly, and cold glints flashed in their eyes.

Chiyou was even more choked up, both anxious and angry. Just as he was about to say something, Houtu waved her hand and said: "The two immortal islands of Yingzhou and Fangzhang—my Wu Clan will not participate in the competition; Great King, you may do as you please." After saying this, she turned to look at Chiyou and the other Ancestral Witches: "Return to the Witch God Realm."

Before Chiyou and the others could speak, Houtu's figure vanished into the Xukong Sword Sword Sword.

"This..."

Chiyou's expression was unsightly as he looked at Xingtian and the others.

Xingtian and the others also felt humiliated; their Wu Clan stood together, and Yin Qi's contempt for Chiyou was naturally contempt for them as well.

But they also knew that even if they combined their strength, they were no match for the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty.

"Let's go!"

Xingtian finally gritted his teeth and said.

With Houtu gone, what else could they do?

Very quickly, the Ancestral Witches had all left.

With the Wu Clan admitting defeat, the Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue dared not have any objections, and Lu Ya did not jump out again either.

Please... collect... 6... 9... books....!

What remained were the Sages.

Tongtian Jiaozhu stood to the side with a smile; he had no conflict with Yin Qi, and he already had his own cultivation site, so naturally, he would not stand in opposition to Yin Qi for the sake of two immortal islands.

As allies, Haotian and Yaochi would certainly not voice any objections.

Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti were burning with rage, but they could only suppress it.

Without Tongtian Jiaozhu, the four of them joining forces were likely no match for Yin Qi, not to mention that Yin Qi also had Nuwa, Changxi, and the Three Sovereigns by his side.

Let alone Laozi and Yuanshi, even Jieyin and Zhunti secretly regarded Yin Qi as a dead man.

Once the restriction order is lifted in the future, the first person to kill will be Yin Qi.

The four of them did not speak, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

After a long while, Yin Qi chuckled: "Since everyone has no objections, then Yingzhou Island belongs to my Great Shang. Heavenly Emperor, Queen Mother, why don't the two of you accompany me to Yingzhou Island? Thirty percent of the resources on it will belong to you."

They were his father-in-law and mother-in-law by marriage after all; since Yin Qi had swindled them, he had to compensate them somehow.

Do not think thirty percent is little; given the resources accumulated on Yingzhou Island, it is definitely enough for the Heavenly Court to make a small fortune.

"Good!"

Haotian and Yaochi nodded.

Losing the Hongmeng Purple Qi made them hate to the point of madness, but Yin Qi's promise finally gave them some return.

Very quickly, Yin Qi and the others left.

The Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin, as well as the Demon Race, all four parties very sensibly did not contend for Fangzhang Island and the resources on Fangzhang Island; in the final analysis, this Primordial World is still one where the strong are respected.

They did not have a Peak Quasi-Saint, so even if they spoke up to contend, it would be meaningless.

Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti looked at each other, then looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu.

"What, wanting to join forces again?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu sneered, and he waved his hand to take out the Immortal Execution Sword, saying: "Since that is the case, then let us have another bout."

Laozi sighed and said: "Third Junior Brother, why say such things? You also know that Di Qi is shameless, actually setting up a Forbidden Air Array across the Primordial Continent, forcing us to travel far overseas. This Fangzhang Island is the best choice for a Daoist practice site."

Tongtian Jiaozhu sneered: "You speak correctly; this Fangzhang Island is most suitable as a Daoist practice site, even my Golden Turtle Island is far inferior compared to it."

Yuanshi Tianzun suppressed his anger and said: "Tongtian, you already have Golden Turtle Island, what are you contending with us for? If not for you remaining indifferent earlier, if we had joined forces, it is not as if we could not have done something about Di Qi."

Tongtian Jiaozhu mocked: "Rather than talking about me, why didn't you make a sound earlier? Furthermore, judging shares by strength, they have a full six Peak Quasi-Saints; they ought to occupy an island alone."

Yuanshi Tianzun: "You..."

"Enough!"

Laozi sighed and said: "There is only one Fangzhang Island, and it is destined that we cannot all occupy it alone. How about this, I have a proposal: the resources on the island will be divided into ten parts, you, Tongtian, will take sixty percent, and we will each take ten percent.

At the same time, this Fangzhang Island will be divided into regions, split into three, and our Ren Sect, Chan Sect, and Buddhism will all establish Daoist practice sites upon it.

In any case, this is only an expedient measure.

When we kill Di Qi in the future, we will each return to our own Daoist practice sites, and this Fangzhang Island will then be transferred to the Jie Sect, how about that?" (End of this chapter)
