Chapter 949: Lu Ya's Decision

"This is the root bone of an Upper-grade God-Demon... and the comprehension!"

Yin Qi exclaimed in wonder.

He felt his mind was more active than ever before, like a bright mirror wiped clean of dust, capable of reflecting all things in the world.

At the same time, his five Innate Supernatural Powers had all been greatly enhanced.

Even his Pangu Bloodline had been purified significantly.

Although his cultivation base had not improved in the slightest, his combat power had increased by a large margin.

Now, even without the aid of the Immortal Court, he was afraid he could contend against Laozi or Yuanshi Tianzun without being defeated.

As expected, root bone and comprehension are the foundations of a cultivator.

"Junior Lu Ya pays respects to the Saint."

At the foot of Shouyang Mountain, Lu Ya bowed in salute, his voice slowly carrying up the mountain.

Previously, he had already been to Wahuang Palace.

At Wahuang Palace, he had tested Nuwa's stance.

Nuwa stated bluntly that she was the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, but also the Holy Mother of the Human Race; the implication was that she would not help either side when the two clashed.

Although Lu Ya was not satisfied with Nuwa's attitude, he could only endure it.

However, he felt even less pressure in his heart regarding uniting with Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Since you, Nuwa, do not wish to help my Demon Race, there are naturally plenty of others who are willing.

"Come up."

A moment later, Laozi's indifferent voice came from the mountain.

Lu Ya felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Since Laozi was willing to see him, the purpose of this trip was basically achieved.

With Laozi's wisdom, it was impossible for him not to guess his intent.

"Yes, Saint."

Lu Ya bowed in salute once more.

To show respect, he did not travel by flying, but walked up the mountain step by step.

Of course, his speed was very fast, hundreds of meters per step.

Otherwise, with Shouyang Mountain being hundreds of thousands of miles high, it would have taken him many years to reach the top.

Very quickly.

He met Laozi at the Eight Views Palace.

"Greetings, Saint!"

"Sit."

Laozi sat cross-legged on a prayer mat; with a wave of his hand, a prayer mat appeared before Lu Ya.

Lu Ya hurriedly sat down.

Regarding Lu Ya's intent, Laozi could naturally guess it.

However, he could not state it directly, so he asked, "What is your purpose in coming here?"

Lu Ya did not test him further and said straightaway, "My Demon Race wishes to establish the Saint Emperor Hall. Besides enshrining Lady Nuwa, we also wish to enshrine the Saint and the Yuanshi Saint, and at the same time invite the two Saints to enter my Demon Race to preach and enlighten the sentient beings of my Demon Race."

Laozi's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes did not shift in the slightest.

He said indifferently, "As for enlightening the Demon Race, my junior brother and I will naturally not refuse. It is just that Nuwa has already leaned toward the Human Race; is there any need to continue enshrining her?"

He was merely practicing non-action, not devoid of emotions.

Because Nuwa helped Di Qi, he hated the house and its crow, and naturally hated Nuwa to the extreme.

For the three of them to split the Demon Race's fortune would be worse than him and Yuanshi Tianzun sharing it, while simultaneously teaching Nuwa a lesson.

Lu Ya's expression changed slightly, and he cautiously probed, "The Saint means...?"

"With my junior brother and me providing protection, the Demon Race will have enough."

Laozi said indifferently.

This was his condition, forcing Lu Ya to make a choice.

A sharp light flickered constantly in Lu Ya's eyes, and his complexion shifted repeatedly.

He struggled in his heart. If he followed what Laozi said, he would inevitably offend Lady Nuwa to the death, and at the same time, it would stir up a massive uproar within the Demon Race, because in the hearts of the Demon Race, Nuwa was the one and only Demon Emperor.

"Fine!"

After a long while.

Lu Ya suddenly raised his head and nodded through gritted teeth.

Since Nuwa was heartless, then he could not be blamed for being unrighteous.

How could the value of a Nuwa who would not help either side compare to that of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun who would assist him with all their might?

The corners of Laozi's mouth curled slightly as he said, "Later, I shall invite Yuanshi to come."

A moment later.

Yuanshi Tianzun arrived at the Eight Views Palace.

He was naturally happy to accept the olive branch extended by Lu Ya; not only did he gain the Demon Race's fortune for nothing, but he could also take revenge on Di Qi and the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty—it was killing two birds with one stone.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... book....!

The three parties were willing, and the negotiation process went very smoothly.

The Demon Race contributed their racial fortune, and Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun naturally had to fulfill their corresponding obligations.

This included withdrawing the disciples who were assisting the Heavenly Court, having the disciples on the Investiture of the Gods go easy in future wars, helping the Demon Race cultivate Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Golden Immortals, and the three parties uniting to invade the Heavens Demon World, among other things.

Among them, the two most important are:

One: The Demon Race is to attack the Heavenly Court, and Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun must take action at the appropriate time.

Two: Build a Boundary Gate to allow the Demon Race to directly invade the Primordial Continent at the appropriate time. At the same time, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun both need to take action in the war against the Yin-Shang.

Although they had won over Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, the Demon Race already possessed the confidence to invade the Heavenly Court and the Primordial Continent.

But Lu Ya was not in a hurry to dispatch troops.

By uniting with Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, he was merely borrowing their power, not submitting to the two, or rather, he did not want the future Demon Race to be controlled by the two and completely lose the initiative.

Therefore, he must possess the power to contend with Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

What is this power?

Naturally, it is the Donghuang Bell!

With his current cultivation, even if he obtained the Donghuang Bell, he would not be able to keep it; he must attain the Quasi-Saint realm.

Even if he were only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, with the Chaos Bell in hand, he could barely protect himself.

Precisely because of this, he did not impatiently decide to dispatch troops, choosing instead to first borrow the power of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun to conquer the Heavens Demon World, allowing himself to become a Quasi-Saint while simultaneously cultivating more Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Golden Immortals.

…………

While Lu Ya, Laozi, and Yuanshi Tianzun were discussing matters, the announcement released by Immortal Tomb also quickly swept through the Primordial Continent.

The Primordial Continent was in an uproar.

"Good heavens, the Outer Starry Sky and the Witch God Realm have actually popularized Mobile Phones; how is this possible? Didn't the high-level members of the Demon Race and the Wu Clan ban Mobile Phones?"

"The Demon Race and the Wu Clan are two untapped virgin lands. In the past, the various Sages wanted to spread their teachings but couldn't get in; now that there is the Heavenly Dao Network and Mobile Phones, can their high-level members still block it?"

"Although the Outer Starry Sky is barren, it also has countless Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that the Primordial Continent lacks; from now on, there will be no shortage of them."

"With this, the Primordial Continent has completely become one."

"Tsk tsk, Di Qi has good methods. By quietly laying out plans for the Demon Race and the Wu Clan, he can make the two clans, especially the Demon Race, head toward division and disintegration with almost no effort."

……

There is no shortage of smart people in the world.

They could all guess that this was Di Qi's open conspiracy, giving them the opportunity to spread their teachings into the Demon Race, thereby splitting the Demon Race.

But no one could refuse the luck of enlightening the Demon Race.

As long as countless traditions pour into the Outer Starry Sky, the various races within the Demon Race will inevitably head toward independence and division; even if they do not split, it will make the Demon Race become loose, and their war potential will drop significantly.

The Outer Starry Sky hangs alone above the Starry Sky, and the Demon Race has absolutely no survival pressure. Now that they have the opportunity to join various traditions, learn higher-level cultivation techniques, and purchase various cultivation resources, who would still be willing to risk their lives for the Demon Court?

……

"I am Tongtian, leader of the Jie Sect. I will begin live-streaming my sermon tomorrow. All living beings of the Primordial Continent who possess a Mobile Phone may listen to the sermon. This sermon will last for ten years."

Golden Turtle Island.

Tongtian Jiaozhu was the first to declare this to all parties in the Primordial Continent.

He teaches without discrimination, and most of his disciples are from the Demon Race, so he was the happiest that the Demon Race was opened up to the Primordial Continent.

No matter what, he had to cut a big piece of this cake. (End of chapter)
