A grand upgrade for the Primordial Wilderness! Cultivation for everyone, sudden enlightenment even for Daluo

At last, a faint ripple crossed Hongjun's face, which had remained unchanged for countless ages.

For the first time, his indifferent eyes of Heavenly Dao truly regarded Niu Ben as an equal, rather than looking down on him as he did other living beings.

"What are your terms?" Neither joy nor anger could be heard in Hongjun's voice.

Seeing him relent, Niu Ben felt reassured.

Sure enough, this old fellow wasn't entirely unyielding.

As long as you had enough strength to overturn the table, even Heavenly Dao had to sit down and talk things through.

"My terms are simple."

Niu Ben held up two fingers and waved them before Hongjun.

"First, I want half of this Demon Realm Heavenly Dao Origin Essence!"

"Half?"

At those words, even Saint Taishang's eyelid twitched, let alone Hongjun's.

This was the Heavenly Dao origin essence of an entire Great Thousand World! The energy and laws it contained were unimaginably vast. Yet Niu Ben demanded half right off the bat? His appetite was far too enormous!

Jieyin and Zhunti were practically drooling as they listened, consumed by envy and jealousy.

Half the Heavenly Dao origin essence! If their Western Teachings could have it, flourishing would be an understatement. They could soar straight to the top and become the greatest teaching in the Primordial Wilderness!

Hongjun's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Integrating this origin essence into the Primordial Wilderness would advance the Primordial World and benefit all living beings. Taking half for yourself is excessively greedy."

"Greedy?" Niu Ben laughed, his smile positively radiant.

"Dao Ancestor, that's hardly fair. If I hadn't risked my life fighting here, forget advancing the Primordial Wilderness—the entire Primordial Wilderness Expeditionary Army, including my Three Teachers, would probably have become that Saint Ancestor's snack. The whole Primordial Wilderness would have faced annihilation."
