547 The Cooperation Between Humans And Immortals (Part 2)
“A million people is too many. I’m afraid the immortal race can’t protect them all. How about 10,000 people?”
Venerable He shook his head.
“With how powerful the immortals are and the treasures they possess, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to protect a million people,” Hong said.
A million ordinary people was not impossible.
“Sure, but on one condition. If the immortal race does not have the ability to protect them, we won’t.”
“Senior He must be joking. The immortal race is extremely powerful, so how could they not have the ability to protect them? If the immortal race declines to that point, it will be annihilated. It would be no different from breaking the contract then.”
Hong shook his head and laughed.
Venerable He thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
If the immortal race could not even protect a million ordinary people, it could only mean that the immortal race had declined to the point of near extinction.
“Alright, then let’s do it this way.”
Venerable He nodded.
The need for cooperation with the human race was getting more and more urgent.
In particular, there were frequent changes in the nine zones, which signified great opportunities that they wanted to take advantage of.
Currently, none of the races could send their wisps of consciousness into the nine zones.
Only the human race could.
They could even force their way into the nine zones at the price of having their Dao paths suppressed to being less than a thousand miles long.
Hence, cooperation was necessary.
The grudges between the immortal race and the human race were not that deep, so their cooperation would be relatively smooth and conflict-free.
After all, in ancient times, the human race had worshiped the immortals and gods and had received their protection.
“When Yang descends to the nine zones to investigate the situation, take this along. This treasure can descend and return with his wisp of consciousness and record the situation observed.”
After confirming the cooperation, Venerable He started to plan.
If Yang descended to the nine zones, and did not tell the truth, no one would know if he was telling the truth.
Therefore, he had to bring a treasure with him. What they saw would be recorded on the treasure and returned to the immortal race.
This was the basis of their intelligence sharing and cooperation.
“As expected of the immortal race. You guys even have such a treasure,” Hong praised.
It was easy to send treasures into the nine zones, but it was almost impossible to take them back.
After all, the Great Dao’s power of rejection was still present. Taking out something from the nine zones would be viewed by the Great Dao as an act of plunder and would be blocked.”
“It’s just an ordinary treasure. It’s not of much use,” Venerable He shook his head.
He did not believe that the human race did not also have such a treasure.
“Since we’re working together, this is fine. However, I’m afraid Yang won’t be able to descend to the nine zones in the near future,” Hong said with a frown.
“Why?”
Venerable He frowned and revealed a dissatisfied expression.
Since the conditions had been agreed upon, it would be insincere of them to delay the cooperation.
After all, the situation in the nine zones was constantly changing, and the earlier they knew the situation, the more they could make timely arrangements.
If they waited too long, things might truly spiral out of control.
“Yang is severely injured. Mo Zun was really ruthless. If Yang tries to descend with his wisp of consciousness, it will damage his soul,” Hong said helplessly.
“Is it really that serious?”
Venerable He had a look of disbelief.
Even if Yang was seriously injured, did the human race not have supreme treasures to help him recover?
He was clearly just using this matter to ask for some benefits.
He cursed inwardly. So many years had passed, yet the human race still had not changed their nature, seizing every opportunity to extort others.
“It’s true. The human race has used all our means and treasures, but it will still take many years for him to recover.”
Hong sighed.
“Senior He, I’m really not lying to you. The two races have already reached an agreement. Why would I make a fuss over such a small matter?”
Venerable He’s thoughts were a little shaken. Was Hong not going to take the opportunity to extort a sum?
It would take many years to recover, which was not a long time for Daoyuan realm cultivators.
If it was in the past, it would have been fine, but not now
In a few years, no one knew what would happen in the nine zones.
The changes in the nine zones had happened too quickly.
“There’s no way to shorten the recovery time?”
“It’s not that there’s no way. Yang’s injuries came from the power of the demon race’s Dao path. If the demon race is willing to provide some treasures to assist in the healing process, he should be able to recover in a few days,” Hong muttered.
Venerable He cursed in his heart.
What serious injury? He was just finding an excuse to extort the demon race.
“This matter is easy to deal with. I will pass on the message to the demon race and put pressure on them.”
“In that case, on behalf of Yang, I thank Senior He.”
Hong cupped his hands.
Chu Xuan watched the entire process and was surprised. The humans and immortals had actually come to an agreement?
The wisps of consciousness of the experts of the various races could not descend upon the nine zones, which gave the human race a chance.
What prompted the cooperation between the human and immortal races was probably also related to the changes in the chaos.
What were those changes?
Chu Xuan was curious.
After Hong and Venerable He finished their discussion, the former left the celestial race’s territory.
He then headed to the territories of the races of the Ancient Chaos World.
The changes had made everyone change their stance on targeting the human race. Now, they wanted nothing more than to cooperate with them to find out what the changes were in the nine zones.
A great opportunity was brewing in the nine zones.
No race was willing to miss this opportunity.
It would not be long before Yang’s wisp of consciousness would descend.
Chu Xuan pondered. He naturally could not allow the other races to discover exactly what was going on in the nine zones.
As such, he needed to make some arrangements in advance.
The Chaos Dao Mirror shifted targets and started to scan the Ancient Chaos World.
After a while, Chu Xuan deactivated the mirror.
He looked at Yang Tian, who was preparing to head to the Desolate Ancient Zone.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Tian had entered a treasure land.
After that, outside the treasure land, another nine zones appeared.
However, these nine zones were fake. It was an illusory space set up by Chu Xuan.
When Yang Tian came out of the treasure land, he would find himself in the fake nine zones.
After the arrangements were completed, Chu Xuan waited for Yang’s wisp of consciousness to descend.
Chu Xuan was looking forward to Yang sending back false information about the nine zones.
Just as he was about to continue cultivating, he suddenly looked at the heavenly domain.
In Mo Tu’s residence, Mo Tu was holding a ball of blood essence in his hand.
It was the demon bloodline that he had left behind before he transformed into a Buddhist.
At this moment, the originally solemn Arhat Mo Tu revealed a sinister smile.
He was currently communicating with Tianmo Lie through this bloodline.
Chu Xuan’s face was strange. Mo Tu, this troll, actually knew how to use his brain?
He was actually cheating people?
It was very different from the image of Mo Tu he had in his mind.
In his impression, Mo Tu was rude, overbearing, and arrogant. He was definitely not a guy who would deceive and backstab people.
Was this something he learned when he became a Buddhist?
Mo Tu actually wanted to cheat Tianmo Lie of his treasures.
Furthermore, he was on the verge of success.
Chu Xuan also understood that the ancient demons were eager to understand the situation in the nine zones and take the initiative.
They had no idea that Mo Tu had already become a Buddhist. After all, the demon race bloodline was still intact, and they could still connect to it.
Even if they noticed some abnormalities, they would only think that Mo Tu had used some secret technique to tamper with the bloodline.
Chu Xuan ignored him. Mo Tu was not stupid, so there was no way that he would reveal anything important about the nine zones.
As for how many treasures he could swindle, that depended on his own ability.
Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, he suddenly looked at Mo Zhan’s residence, and his expression turned even more strange.
It appeared that Mo Tu and the other demon race Daoyuan realm cultivators had discussed this beforehand. They were actually all using their bloodline to cheat the ancient demons of their treasures?
Chu Xuan was speechless.
Mo Tu and the others had already become Buddhists and could be considered his subordinates. If the ancient demons attacked them to take revenge for this, he would be forced to act.
Mo Tu and the others probably understood this, which was why they had no scruples doing this.
Retracting his gaze, Chu Xuan decided to continue cultivating.
He would strive to reach the ten-million-mile mark as soon as possible.
