Chapter 896: The Demon Continent

Laozi Good Corpse's gaze was indifferent as he said calmly, "Jieyin, Zhunti, you have gone too far this time."

Jieyin Good Corpse spoke bluntly, "Good talent and beautiful jade are hard to come by. Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, I will not say much about the current situation of the Primordial Continent. How about this: I will make the decision to return all of their Innate Spiritual Treasures to Second Senior Brother, and at the same time, we will provide an additional compensation of five medium-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures."

If he could help it, he did not want to fall out with Yuanshi either.

But Heavenly Pride are hard to come by.

These five people, including Randeng, all have the potential of a Quasi-Saint.

However, with Laozi and Yuanshi joining forces to come to his door, it was impossible for him to show nothing.

If they really were to fall out, it would be bad for both sides.

Laozi's expression sank slightly.

A cold glint flashed through Yuanshi's eyes; how could he not hear the threat in Jieyin's words?

With their true bodies driven out of the Primordial Continent by Hongjun Daozu, Haotian, Minghe Laozu, and others who had been lying in wait for a long time would definitely take advantage of the situation to rise up, or even unite from all sides to encircle and suppress them.

This was by no means alarmist.

Since the Witch-Demon War, the Four Teachings had developed rapidly, and there was no telling how many forces they had offended.

In the past, with their true bodies sitting in command, they naturally did not need to care.

Whoever dared to cause trouble would be slapped to death directly.

But now, their prestige was no longer enough to suppress all parties.

Although he felt some heartache over the loss of four Heavenly Pride disciples,

he could at least obtain compensation of five Innate Spiritual Treasures, so he would not lose too much face externally.

If they really tore off the mask of civility, not only would they lose both people and wealth, but the future situation of the Chan Sect would also become even more dangerous.

After weighing it in his heart, he already had a plan.

But he could not agree directly.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Good Corpse looked at Laozi Good Corpse.

Laozi Good Corpse also understood Yuanshi Good Corpse's intention, so he nodded and said, "Agreed. But this is not enough; compensate with another fifty Bodhi Fruits, five Eight-Petal Golden Lotuses, and one Bitter Bamboo."

The Nine-Petal Golden Lotus, an Acquired Spiritual Root cultivated from the seeds of the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus, was also a superior Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasure.

It was painstakingly cultivated by Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren.

As for the Bitter Bamboo, it was a supreme Innate Spiritual Root, with three stalks growing side by side.

"That is too much. I can only take out five Bodhi Fruits and one Nine-Petal Golden Lotus; there is no Bitter Bamboo."

"Too little..."

After some haggling, both sides finally reached an agreement to compensate with another twenty Bodhi Fruits, two Nine-Petal Golden Lotuses, and three Seven-Petal Golden Lotuses.

Although Randeng Daoren was the Chanjiao Vice Sect Leader, his Innate Spiritual Treasures were all his own accompanying treasures.

He did not need to hand over his own Innate Spiritual Treasures.

As for the four, including Juliusun, they naturally handed over their Innate Spiritual Treasures obediently.

For one, they could be completely at ease without worrying about Yuanshi Tianzun looking for trouble; for another, both Jieyin and Zhunti had promised to bestow upon them a corresponding number of Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Having obtained the Innate Spiritual Treasures and the compensation, Yuanshi Good Corpse turned and left with a cold face alongside Laozi Good Corpse.

………

This matter soon spread on the network.

"I knew it, Yuanshi Saint would definitely return empty-handed; the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect can be considered to exist in name only."

"I cannot understand it; Randeng Daoren is at least a Great Luo peak powerhouse with hopes of becoming a Quasi-Saint, so why did Yuanshi Saint treat him so harshly? No wonder Randeng had to defect to Buddhism."

"Undercurrents are surging everywhere in the Primordial Continent, and the Four Sages definitely won't fight. It's already good that the Western Two Sages could provide compensation; otherwise, Yuanshi Saint would only be able to swallow his pride."

……

Yuxu Palace.

Seeing that his master's expression was poor, Baihe Tongzi also tactfully did not bring up the matter of Jiang Ziya again.

With even the four Great Golden Immortals defecting from the sect, what did the matter of Jiang Ziya count for?

……

The popularity of Randeng and the others defecting from the sect was at its peak.

But as soon as the announcement of the Heavenly Dao Network upgrade was released, it quickly climbed to the top of the trending list.

"Dao Ancestor above, the Heavenly Dao Network can actually be upgraded and will cover the entire Primordial Continent. Does this not mean that the Heavenly Dao Network was not innate, but created by man?"

"This information flow is so massive; who exactly is pushing this behind the scenes?"

"Hahaha, great. In the past, if I wanted to shop in the Primordial Mall, I had to leave my small world, and every time I was terrified. Now I can finally close the boundary gate with peace of mind."

"Once this Heavenly Dao Network is upgraded, the Primordial Continent will be lively from now on. The Heavens World, and even the Outer Starry Sky, the Immortal World, the Underworld, etc., will all be included in the network's coverage."

"The Heavenly Dao Network upgrade is good; it means we can purchase cultivation resources from all over the Primordial Continent while sitting at home. In the past, I wanted to find a piece of Xuanming Divine Iron for artifact refining, but I couldn't enter the Underworld at all."

"Hahaha, great. From now on, our business can reach the entire Primordial Continent."……

The announcement of the Heavenly Dao Network upgrade made the Primordial Continent boil over.

Not only the people of the Primordial Continent and the Four Seas, but cultivators from countless worlds were cheering; finally, they would not have to come to the Primordial Continent to piggyback on the network. Not to mention the danger, the back-and-forth was truly troublesome.

The announcement of the Heavenly Dao Network upgrade was transmitted to the Heavens World through various channels.

The Heavens World boiled over.

Countless cultivators rushed to refine mobile phones or purchase mobile phones, just waiting for the Heavenly Dao Network to upgrade.

……

Time passed, and it finally reached the fourth quarter of the Zi hour.

Because the time was too rushed, there were not many cultivators in the Heavens World who possessed mobile phones.

They stared fixedly at their screens.

Please... you... add to favorites_(!)

When the fourth quarter of the Zi hour finally arrived, they saw the signal icon finally appear in the upper left corner of the screen.

There is internet!

At the first opportunity, they entered apps such as Douyin, Primordial Mall, and Great Dao Forum one after another.

"Hahaha, there is internet, finally there is internet."

"Buy, hurry up and buy Mobile Phones, then we can resell them to others and make a huge profit."

"Not just Mobile Phones; while Mobile Phones have not yet become popular in our world, we can resell everything here."

The Heavens World is now connected to the internet, but not everyone is willing to popularize Mobile Phones.

For example, the Demon Race.

For example, the Wu Clan.

The reason they were forced out of Honghuang by the Sages back then was precisely because they were too closed off, making it impossible for the Sages to preach the Dao.

If they were to connect to the internet now, and the Sages were to preach again.

Then their millions of years of persistence would become a joke.

And once the Sages preach within their clans via live streaming, they will not be far from falling apart.

Outer Starry Sky.

This is an endlessly vast Starry Sky world, spanning trillions of light-years.

It is unknown how many galaxies and stars it possesses.

However, compared to Honghuang, the space of the Outer Starry Sky is very fragile.

Even a Nascent Soul can tear through space and traverse the Starry Sky.

Deep in the distant Starry Sky, the base camp of the Demon Race.

This is a vast continent.

It is tens of billions of li in Fang Yuan, with a round sky and square earth.

The stars filling the sky all revolve around this continent, casting down endless starlight.

In the Outer Starry Sky, such a world should not have been able to exist.

But the Demon Race forcibly shattered countless stars to shape this world, and it was named Heavenly Demon Continent.

In the center of the Heavenly Demon Continent.

The Demon Court.

Lu Ya summoned two Demon Sages and eighteen Demon Gods to discuss matters.

A Demon Sage is a Quasi-Saint.

A Demon God is a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

At their peak, in addition to the ten great Demon Gods, the Demon Race also possessed nearly a hundred Great Luo Golden Immortals.

It is a pity that in the final battle, most of them were killed in action.

Of the ten great Demon Gods, only Bai Ze and Jimeng remained; with the help of Nuwa, they attained the rank of Quasi-Saint.

They are the two current Demon Sages of the Demon Race.

As for the nearly one hundred Great Luo Golden Immortals, only eight were left alive.

Of the current eighteen Great Luo Golden Immortals, ten of them broke through after the Witch-Demon War.
