Li Xiandao looked at the jade box and the ball of demonic energy within. The demonic energy had a soul and that was its foundation.
If one smashed the demon’s soul, the demon would definitely die.
The demon panicked too. It was locked in a small box and it was pitch black. It smashed all about but it couldn’t shatter the jade box.
In the jade box, it heard Li Xiandao’s voice. The demon head couldn’t help but think back to when it listened to orders from the Yama King.
He was high above and extremely strong such that he had no way to fight back at all.
Now that he was in front of Li Xiandao, he had the same feeling. How would the demon dare to hide anything?
“I have precious intel and I want to use it in exchange for my freedom?” The demon said loudly.
Li Xiandao thought about it for a moment and said, “You want to use news of this treasure to redeem yourself?”
“Redeem?” The demon was confused. He needed to redeem himself?
“Of course, you are now mine. If you don’t agree, I will seal you for tens of thousands of years. I can do that very easily.” Li Xiandao said it really simply.
“I am now yours?” The demon was shocked. He didn’t expect that he would have such a tragic ending.
“Why? Have you thought about it?” Li Xiandao asked.
“I have. I am willing to redeem myself.” The demon shouted unwillingly.
He used intel to redeem himself. Why did he sound so weird?
But if he didn’t, he would end up in endless darkness.
The demon had already been locked up for 100,000 years and wasn’t willing for such a thing to happen again.
In the darkness, the demon found even a second unbearable. This was also the reason why he wanted to meet Li Xiandao.
“If your intel is not of value, then I will continue to lock you up.” Li Xiandao warned in advance for him not to use some small news to cheat him.
“It is definitely huge, but can you be trusted?” The demon was worried.
“Don’t worry, I am a businessman. Business men are always trustworthy.
After all, honesty is everything.” Li Xiandao sprouted a whole bunch of nonsense.
The demon was still uneasy but it was he a bad state now. He had a small area where he could move about and it was even worse than when he was in prison. If he didn’t come out and spent another few hundred years like this he would definitely die.
He had been sealed for 100,000 years and the demon barely survived. Now, he didn’t have much time left.
“Speak! If you continue delaying, I will lose interest.” Li Xiandao said calmly and he didn’t want the demon to waste time.
“Once Hell and Celestial World merged, they became the servants of the Celestial World. Celestial World exceeded the Nine Skies and Ten Lands and became supreme.” The demon said with a solemn expression.
Li Xiandao nodded, “Right, but I know about all of that.”
Demon continued, “Many people were unhappy and felt like it shouldn’t have been the case. So, they opposed the Celestial World and started a war.”
Li Xiandao felt interested. This was something he didn’t know.
“After the war started, Hell and Celestial World were very intense, but for some reason, the higher-ups of both sides came to an agreement; they would manage their own things and not interfere with each other. But Hell had to be run by Celestial World and they would be below them in name.” The demon said seriously.
Li Xiandao held his head in his hands and said slowly, “So, all of you were unhappy?”
“Right, the demons in hell won’t accept anyone, so how can we accept being below others?” The demon was pumped up with rage.
“It’s just in name.” Li Xiandao added.
“Even then it can’t be accepted.” Demon scolded. He didn’t even care about the difference in position with Li Xiandao.
Luckily, Li Xiandao didn’t get mad. He just said calmly, “Why not?”
“Only someone stupid will agree. In a few hundred years they might know that it is just in name but what about 1,000 years from now?”
“For the newer demons, hell evil spirits, ghosts, etc, they were fed information by the Celestial world from a young age. But this was just within hell. What about outside?” The demon became more and more angry.
“After 1,000 years, they really think that Hell was under Celestial World and Hell is not as good as Celestial World.” Li Xiandao added. This was what the people of Nine Skies and Ten Lands thought.
Hell was not as good as Celestial World and Hell was just one small place there.
Celestial World was high above and Hell was an endless abyss. Its reputation was totally soiled.
To turn it around, they had to defeat Celestial World and mould the next generation within a few thousand years.
“This is why I was angry. Those short-sighted people didn’t notice Celestial World’s plot.” Demon was furious.
“This is an obvious plot.” Li Xiandao corrected him.
“Also, not everyone is stupid. Someone raised the problem but Celestial World bought them over and made the higher-ups of Hell agree with this.” Li Xiandao guessed.
“How do you know?” The demon didn’t understand.
“Is my guess correct?” Li Xiandao asked.
“Yes.” The demon was helpless.
“So, until now you have been talking about the conflict between Hell and Celestial World. What does that have to do with your treasure?” Li Xiandao asked.
“That is just the beginning.” The demon was unhappy.
“I hope that you can simplify things and just tell me about the treasure.” Li Xiandao reminded the demon.
As for the conflict between the Celestial World and Hell, Li Xiandao didn’t really care and he didn’t have the strength to care either.
“Hell isn’t united. Some agreed and some objected. I was one of those who objected.” The demon said.
Li Xiandao listened quietly.
“We split so the resources were also split. My cultivation was good, so I was a captain in charge of 10,000 demons.” The demon couldn’t help but feel proud.
Li Xiandao coughed unhappily, “What is the main point?”
Li Xiandao saw that this demon was speaking a lot. He had been locked up for so many years and no one spoke to him. Just thinking about it, one knew how terrifying it was.
So that was why he spoke so much to Zhong Zi Qi when he was stealing his body such that Zhong Zi Qi was able to counter him and arrive at the Bank of the Universe.
Now, his bad habit was activated again. The more he talked, the more he went off-topic.
Li Xiandao had to remind him.
“Cough, cough. Anyway, the demons swept hell and numerous treasures and resources were taken out to craft 108 Demon God Pillars.” The demon finally mentioned the main point after Li Xiandao reminded him.
Li Xiandao focused and asked, “108 Demon God Pillars?”
“Right. All of Hell’s resources are gathered there and the Yamas contributed a lot.” The demon said solemnly.
