Chapter 162: The Conditions of the Wu Clan! The

Hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi!

These words reached the ears of everyone around, and suddenly, many people's eyes lit up.

Especially those great powers of the Great Desolation who had come specifically for the Hongmeng Purple Qi; they now looked at Di Jun with increasing nervousness.

Meanwhile, the many powerhouses on the side of the Demon Race immediately began to roar in anger.

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, you must absolutely not agree!"

"We paid such a great price for this Hongmeng Purple Qi, how could we hand it over now?"

"That's right, at worst we'll fight these members of the Wu Clan to the death!"

Di Jun's face was as dark as water; he raised his hand to signal the surrounding Demon Race powerhouses to quiet down.

He stared fixedly at Dijiang and said in a deep voice, "The Hongmeng Purple Qi is of absolutely no use to your Wu Clan!"

Dijiang sneered, "Whether the Hongmeng Purple Qi is useful to us is not important! But that you do not have the Hongmeng Purple Qi in your hands is very important to us!"

Di Jun's expression became even uglier, and he refused flatly, "Impossible! You had better change your request; otherwise, if you want this Emperor to hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi, this Emperor would rather fight you to the death!"

The many members of the Demon Race around also had firm expressions, looking as if they were prepared to fight the Wu Clan to the end.

Regarding this, Zhurong and the other Ancestral Witches naturally felt no fear and, in their rage, were about to strike again.

However, Dijiang stopped them and looked at Di Jun again, saying, "Fine, then this Ancestral Witch will change the condition! As long as you hand over the River Chart and Luo Book, or hand over that broken bell in Taiyi's hands, we can stop the battle right here!"

Upon hearing this, before Di Jun could reply, Taiyi was the first to roar in fury, "Dijiang, don't you even think about it! The Eastern Emperor Bell is my companion dharma treasure; how could I hand it to you?"

Dijiang, however, scoffed dismissively and said, "So what if it's a companion dharma treasure? If you don't hand it over, then we will continue to fight until we beat you to death!"

"You—"

Taiyi was so angry he nearly vomited blood, but he was helpless.

He naturally knew that Dijiang was not speaking empty words; if they really continued to fight, it was very likely that several Demon Saints of their Demon Race would fall.

It was just that the River Chart, the Luo Book, and the Eastern Emperor Bell were all supreme treasures of the two brothers and were of great importance to the Demon Race; how could they easily hand them over? For a moment, both Di Jun and Taiyi fell into an awkward situation of being unable to advance or retreat.

Meanwhile, the many great powers of the Great Desolation watching this scene felt a secret thrill in their hearts.

They had long been displeased with the Demon Race, and seeing the Demon Race suffer a setback now, they were naturally happy to see it happen.

Of course, some were secretly calculating, wanting to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and see if they could gain some benefits from the Demon Race or the Wu Clan.

Finally, Di Jun spoke slowly, "This matter, this Demon Emperor cannot agree to either!"

At this, several Ancestral Witches became annoyed all at once.

Zhurong shouted, "This won't do, that won't do; I see you have no intention of stopping the war at all!"

Gonggong said in a deep voice, "Fine, since that is the case, then we shall continue to fight. Once we slaughter you, whether it is the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the River Chart and Luo Book, or that broken bell, we can take them ourselves!"

Di Jun's face sank as he looked at Dijiang and said, "Dijiang, these demands of yours are completely unreasonable! Don't go too far! Our Demon Race is not to be trifled with!"

Dijiang, however, was not afraid in the slightest and retorted tit-for-tat, "Our Wu Clan is likewise not to be trifled with! If you think you can beat us, then keep fighting! Let's see who can't hold on first!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the Pangu Phantom once again emitted a terrifying pressure, appearing ready to launch an attack at any moment.

The other great powers of the Great Desolation also assumed a posture of being ready to strike again.

This situation gave both Di Jun and Taiyi a headache.

Although unwilling, Taiyi finally gritted his teeth and transmitted his voice to Di Jun, "Brother, why not hand my Eastern Emperor Bell to them, and once you have Proved the Dao and become a Saint, we can take it back from their hands?"

Di Jun was momentarily troubled and responded, "No! Previously, when I traded the Hongmeng Purple Qi with that Lu Yun, I already let you give away the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife; how can I let you hand over the Eastern Emperor Bell as well? If we are to hand something over, it should be my River Chart and Luo Book!"

After a slight pause, he added, "Moreover, even if we hand over the River Chart and Luo Book or the Eastern Emperor Bell, Dijiang and the others might not really stop. It is more likely that they will have weakened our strength this time, only to come back and cause us trouble again later; how would we resist then?"

Taiyi was shocked in his heart, only then realizing that what Di Jun said was indeed very likely to happen.

He couldn't help but ask, "Then shall we continue to fight these members of the Wu Clan now?"

Di Jun actually did not want to fight at all right now.

Because he was full of expectations for the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" and was still thinking about Proving the Dao and becoming a Saint, how could he risk a battle now?

If some accident occurred and he fell before he could even use the opportunity to Prove the Dao that he had obtained with such difficulty, wouldn't that be as pathetic as Hongyun back in the day? Thinking of this, he transmitted his voice to Taiyi, "Let me talk to Dijiang again!"

Taiyi nodded lightly and said no more.

Di Jun looked at Dijiang once again and said, "Dijiang, your demands are indeed difficult for my Demon Race to accept. However, for the sake of peace in the Great Desolation, I am willing to give you another chance to make a request. As long as you can propose a condition that both sides can accept, my Demon Race can consider taking a step back."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Ancestral Witches couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Dijiang did not expect Di Jun to say this, but he quickly reacted and said with a sneer, "Oh? Is Your Majesty the Demon Emperor planning to admit defeat? However, do you think our Wu Clan will let you off so easily?"

Di Jun said in a deep voice, "Dijiang, although your Wu Clan is powerful, my Demon Race is not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. If we really fight to the death, it will benefit no one. Why not both take a step back and enjoy the vastness of the world?"

A flash of hesitation crossed Dijiang's eyes.

He naturally knew that Di Jun was telling the truth; if they really fought, although the Wu Clan did not fear the Demon Race, they would have to pay a significant price. If it really came to his own brothers suffering casualties, he naturally would not want to see that.

Moreover, there was only one Hongmeng Purple Qi, and even if they snatched it, they might not be able to use it. Rather than that, it would be better to exchange it for a more practical benefit.

It was just that he couldn't think of any other conditions for the moment, so he could only look at Jumang and say, "Second Brother, you come up with a condition for the Demon Race!"

Jumang had always been the most intelligent among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, so he naturally grasped Dijiang's intent immediately.

After a moment of thought, he said, "Fine, since you, Di Jun, have been so humble in begging us, then I will make one more request. As long as you are willing to give up the Heavenly Court and hand over control of the Heavenly Court to our Wu Clan, then we can withdraw right now."

Once these words were spoken, the Ancestral Witches gave Jumang a thumbs-up one after another.

This was a well-proposed condition! They had always regarded Mount Buzhou as the holy mountain of the Wu Clan, and the Heavenly Court was located on the peak of Mount Buzhou; they had long felt displeased with the Demon Race occupying the Heavenly Court.

If they could take the Heavenly Court by taking advantage of this opportunity, not only would they fulfill a long-cherished wish, but they would also make the Demon Race lose all face—it was simply perfect! The surrounding great powers of the Great Desolation were in an uproar.

They did not expect the Wu Clan to make such a demand; this was simply daylight robbery!

The high-level members of the Demon Race also had angry expressions on their faces, looking at Di Jun one after another.

Give up the Heavenly Court? How could that be possible!

The Heavenly Court is the very foundation of their Demon Race; if they were to yield it to the Wu Clan, what face would the Demon Race have left to stand in the Great Desolation? Di Jun's expression also instantly turned unsightly.

He stared fixedly at Jumang and said in a deep voice, "This demand is too excessive! The Heavenly Court is the foundation of my Demon Race; how can it be easily yielded to you?"

Jumang, however, did not retreat in the slightest and said, "Excessive? If the Demon Emperor feels it is excessive, then let us continue to fight! In any case, our Wu Clan does not care about a few more deaths. As for your Demon Race, if a few more Demon Sages die, I fear you will truly be unable to recover, right?"

Di Jun's heart sank; he knew that Dijiang was speaking the truth.

With the strength and madness of the Wu Clan, if they truly fought to the death, the Demon Race would indeed gain no advantage.

Moreover, what he needed most right now was time to comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Qi to Prove the Dao and become a Saint.

Once he Proved the Dao and became a Saint, he would be one of the supreme existences in the Great Desolation. At that time, whether it was taking back the Heavenly Court or wiping out the Wu Clan, it would be as easy as turning over one's hand.

Furthermore, the thirty-three heavens of the Heavenly Court were more a matter of face for the Demon Race; losing them was not really a big deal.

Conversely, Outer Space was related to whether they could deploy the Zhou Tian Star Formation, which would affect the strength of the Demon Race.

Of course, Di Jun did not make the decision on his own, but discussed it with Taiyi and the Ten Great Demon Sages.

Most people agreed to yield the Heavenly Court.

Especially since the Heavenly Court, having been the site of the previous great battle, no longer had any Demon Race members stationed there; even if the Demon Race did not yield it, it would not be difficult for Dijiang and the others to seize it.

Rather than that, it was better to use it directly to trade for a chance for the Demon Race to catch its breath.

After the discussion was finished, Di Jun took a deep breath and said, "Fine! This Emperor agrees to this demand! But you must remember today's events! The day this Emperor Proves the Dao and becomes a Saint will be the day your Wu Clan is annihilated!"

Upon hearing this, the twelve Ancestral Witches all burst into loud laughter.

Dijiang said, "If you have the ability, then come! I also want to remind you that Proving the Dao and becoming a Saint is not such an easy matter. If you are unable to Prove the Dao, then you can only keep today's humiliation in your heart forever!"

Di Jun looked at Dijiang coldly, said nothing more, and turned into a streak of light, flying toward the Sun Star.

Seeing this, Taiyi and the other Demon Race powerhouses also turned into streaks of light and followed; soon, the entire Demon Race had left the battlefield, leaving behind only a scene of devastation, the jubilant Wu Clan, and the Great Desolation powerhouses who had been watching the spectacle.

The Ancestral Witches led their subordinates to withdraw from Outer Space, preparing to go and take over the Heavenly Court.

Seeing that there was no chance to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the other Great Desolation powerhouses also helplessly turned into streaks of light and left the place, evidently intending to return and spread the news of today's events.

And after Di Jun returned to the Heavenly Court with the Demon Race, he immediately announced he was going into seclusion to comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Qi; he would keep today's humiliation in his heart and wait until he Proved the Dao and became a Saint to settle the score one by one! ……

At the same time, on the Primordial Land.

Lu Yun, along with Nuwa, Xihe, and Changxi, had already returned to the Primordial Land and arrived beneath the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood.

He glanced at the Human Tribe city below; during the time he was undergoing Tribulation Transcendence Stage, quite a bit of construction had been completed, and now it was almost finished! After all, the strength of these humans was no longer what it used to be, and with their large numbers, completing the construction of a city was even easier than building a tribe in the past.

Nuwa, Xihe, and Changxi had never seen a building complex with a city layout before, and for a moment, they were all quite curious.

However, they all saw at a glance that compared to the old Human Tribe, the city was more helpful to the Human Race; it was not only a place to live but could also defend against invasions by outside races.

Lu Yun suddenly sensed that Dashan and the others had already returned to the vicinity of the city and would be entering it before long.

He could not help but smile and said, "It looks like I can harvest another wave of merit!"

Hearing this, Nuwa and the others could not help but be somewhat surprised.

Nuwa even asked, "What are you going to do again?"

Lu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Follow me, you will know soon!"

As his voice fell, he did not wait for Nuwa to react; his figure flickered, and one incarnation after another emerged from his body.

Nuwa, Xihe, and Changxi took one look, and were all instantly shocked.

"You... how is this possible?!"

Xihe pointed at Lu Xukong in disbelief and said, "How did he become a Great Luo Golden Immortal?!"

Changxi was also full of incredulity.

Because they had previously been in contact with this spatial incarnation of Lu Yun, and the other party had only been a Taiyi Golden Immortal, yet now he had suddenly become a Great Luo Golden Immortal? The most critical thing was that they had not sensed the other party undergoing Tribulation Transcendence Stage! Even Nuwa had not discovered how these incarnations of Lu Yun had transformed into Great Luo Golden Immortals!

She could not help but look at Lu Yun and ask, "How did you do this?!"

Lu Yun chuckled and said, "They are all my incarnations, and now that my cultivation has improved, their cultivation has improved along with it; there is nothing strange about that, is there?"

"Nothing strange? This matter is extremely strange, okay!"

The three of them, Nuwa and the others, all looked at Lu Yun with speechless expressions.

Nuwa said, "Even I have never heard of anyone in the Great Desolation whose incarnations could improve along with the strength of the original body! Even the Slaying the Three Corpses method passed down by the Dao Ancestor—the Three Corpses bodies that are slain can only improve their strength through cultivation, and their strength will be one realm lower than the original body!"

From this, one could see just how heaven-defying this Hongmeng Incarnation Technique, which Lu Yun had created by combining it with Star Transformation, really was! Such an exquisite incarnation technique—let alone the Xihe sisters, even Nuwa, a Saint, had developed the desire to learn it, but she felt embarrassed to ask Lu Yun.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yun took the initiative to say, "If you want to learn, I will teach you later!"

"Really?"

The Xihe sisters could not help but look at Lu Yun with pleasant surprise, and Nuwa was also somewhat unable to remain calm.

"Of course it's true!"

Lu Yun said with a smile, "However, you will have to wait until I finish dealing with the matters here!"

"No problem!"
