Chapter 1057: Persuading Tongtian

Laozi stared at Luo Hou, his voice cold and deep.

Yuanshi Tianzun and the other two also looked at Luo Hou with burning gazes, their thoughts racing.

Luo Hou smiled faintly: "Since I dared to show myself, I naturally have the ability to protect myself. Furthermore, if you want to deal with Di Qi, you will never succeed in your entire life without my help."

Upon hearing this, the four of them did not answer immediately, but stared straight at Luo Hou, their eyes flashing with sharp light.

They were also considering whether Luo Hou truly possessed this ability and whether he was worth trusting.

After a long while, Yuanshi said: "What method do you have to deal with Di Qi? Also, what do you want to obtain?"

The three of them nodded slightly.

Although Luo Hou had not yet become a Saint, as someone who could contend with Hongjun Daozu and even required Hongjun Daozu to unite various powerful figures to surround and kill him, this in itself was a symbol of strength.

Some people cannot be measured by cultivation level alone.

Luo Hou smiled faintly: "I want the Underworld and the Sea of Blood. Of course, after killing Di Qi, we five shall equally divide his wealth and that of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty."

Slaying Di Qi was his top priority; this person posed too great a threat to him.

As for the four of them, Laozi and the others.

If there was an opportunity, he would naturally finish them off as well.

If there was no opportunity, then so be it; he would deal with them slowly in the future.

Without Di Qi, the Great Calamity that had been forcibly suppressed would erupt again, at which point he could secretly manipulate it, letting all sides slaughter each other fiercely to provide him with endless baleful energy and resentment for his cultivation.

After one Immeasurable Kalpa, his cultivation might even catch up to Hongjun.

"Good!"

The four of them, Laozi and the others, nodded.

The corners of Luo Hou's mouth curled up, revealing a mocking smile: "As for dealing with Di Qi, I can only say he brought it upon himself. In fact, Di Qi discovered me long ago and even sought me out, wanting to join forces with me to deal with you."

For this reason, he specifically gave me an array: the Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array.

This array can trap a Saint.

Of course, I also know that using Di Qi's array to trap Di Qi certainly won't work.

So I painstakingly studied it and finally improved this array.

This not only greatly increased its power but also prevented it from being controlled by Di Qi in turn."

It must be said that as the Demon Ancestor, Luo Hou was quite talented; back during the Dragon-Han Calamity, he had created the Immortal Execution Sword Array, and although it was set up using an Innate Supreme Treasure, it could at least be considered a Saint-level array.

Now that he had returned from resurrection with an even deeper foundation, it was within reason that he could improve the Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array.

"The Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array!"

The four of them, Laozi and the others, were both shocked and delighted.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Fortunately, Luo Hou had his own ulterior motives, otherwise they might have truly been trapped.

Luo Hou continued: "The improved Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array requires a Saint to suppress the array eye. The more Saints, the greater the array's power. Considering the strength Di Qi has displayed, as well as his possession of the Three Innate Supreme Treasures, it is best to gather the power of seven Saints."

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said: "Seven Saints! We four, plus Houtu, only make five. Even if we can persuade Tongtian, that is only six; we are still one short."

The three of them, Laozi and the others, also frowned.

If Nuwa had not married Yin Qi, they could certainly have persuaded her.

Luo Hou smiled slightly: "Before setting up the array, I can become a Saint."

The four of them, Laozi and the others, looked at Luo Hou in surprise.

As expected of the Demon Ancestor, someone who could contend with the Dao Ancestor, he actually had a method to become a Saint.

Jieyin Daoren's eyes lit up: "That would make seven Saints. It's just that persuading Tongtian will not be easy."

Zhunti Daoren gritted his teeth and said: "Throw benefits at him, overwhelm him with benefits. I don't believe that if we throw enough benefits at him, he, Tongtian, won't be tempted. With us seven Saints joining forces and having the Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array, are we still afraid of not being able to trap Di Qi!"

Laozi and the others nodded one after another.

There is no absolute loyalty in the world; it is just that the chips for betrayal are not enough.

Furthermore, if Tongtian agreed, it wouldn't count as betraying Di Qi, just taking a slight risk.

The worst outcome would be the same as theirs: wandering in Chaos.

But if they won the gamble, the gains would be huge. Luo Hou said: "In that case, contact Tongtian now. Once Tongtian agrees, we will begin preparations to trap Di Qi."

Laozi shook his head and said: "It is too early to act; Houtu has been punished by the Dao Ancestor to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors for ten thousand years."

Luo Hou frowned and could only say: "Then let us wait for Houtu to come out of seclusion."

Although Hongjun did not interfere in matters, he did not dare to provoke Hongjun by forcibly demanding Houtu come out of seclusion.

………

Golden Turtle Island.

Biyou Palace.

Tongtian Jiaozhu was wandering through the Great Void when suddenly Laozi's voice rang in his ears: "Third Junior Brother."

Tongtian Jiaozhu did not open his eyes, his lips merely parting slightly: "What is it?"

Laozi said: "We intend to join forces to set a trap to seal and trap Di Qi, and we hope you can join us. Do not be in a hurry to refuse; listen to our conditions first."

This book was recently updated at ##!! Update!

"Fine!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu did not refuse either.

In reality, he was also unwilling to have Yin Qi pressing down on his head.

Although Yin Qi had promised that the Great Shang would not ban any Daoist traditions.

But as a Saint, he had long been accustomed to being high above; how could he be willing to accept someone far superior to himself?

This meant that once the development of the Jie Sect conflicted with the interests of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, he would have to bow his head.

Although he was displeased with Di Qi, the situation was stronger than the man, and he was capable of forbearance.

But if there were sufficient benefits and sufficient certainty, he would not mind dealing with Yin Qi.

Being able to become a Saint in the Primordial Continent, he certainly could not be a purely kind person.

Good-natured people like Hongyun had long since died out.

Laozi said: "First: Of the thirty-six Departmental Continents of the Primordial Continent, your the Jie Sect may exclusively occupy fifteen, and you may choose them at will;

Second: The Donghuang Bell belongs to you;

Third: Of the Thirty-Six Great Legions of the Shang Dynasty, you may choose twelve;

Fourth: You shall receive half of all of Di Qi's Spiritual Roots; you shall likewise receive half of all of Di Qi's Spirit Treasures.

Fifth: You may likewise occupy half of the industrial parks belonging to the Yin Shang Imperial Court."

It had to be said that in order to persuade Tongtian Jiaozhu, they had truly spared no expense.

The Donghuang Bell alone was enough to make Tongtian's heart stir.

A sharp light flickered in the eyes of Tongtian Jiaozhu; his heart was moved, but he did not agree immediately, instead raising the stakes: "Not enough. This poor Daoist also wants control over the 'Heavenly Dao' of the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

Controlling the 'Heavenly Dao' would allow for a continuous supply of Heavenly Pride Grade disciples to be sent to the Jie Sect.

This was the foundation of the Jie Sect's development.

"Very well!"

After a long while, Laozi's voice finally sounded in Tongtian's ear.

Clearly, they had also discussed for a long time regarding the control of the 'Heavenly Dao'.

This was a heavy artifact!

The corners of Tongtian Jiaozhu's mouth curled up, revealing a smile, and he said: "Tell me about your plan. If the success rate is high, this poor Daoist is willing to act; if the success rate is not high, then this matter ends here. But rest assured, this poor Daoist will not leak the secret."

"Rest assured, it is foolproof..."

Next, Laozi explained the matter of Demon Ancestor Luohou and the plan of Demon Ancestor Luohou in detail.

After listening, Tongtian Jiaozhu was also shocked; he had not expected that a figure like Demon Ancestor Luohou would actually be resurrected and reborn in this era, and was about to become a Saint!

After a long while, he nodded slowly.

With seven Saints joining forces, plus the improved Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array, as long as the calculations were appropriate, there was no reason they could not trap Di Qi.

"Very well, when shall we act?"

Laozi said: "Ten thousand years from now, when Houtu's punishment ends." (End of this chapter)
