Heaven Demon Occupies Mount Sumeru, Captures Medicine Master

Today, Mount Sumeru is nothing more than an empty mountain, with virtually no living beings.

Only a few Golden Immortal and Taiyi Profound Immortal exist.

This was only the disciple that Mituo and Bodhi had finally found after searching far and wide, following the second lecture at the Purple Heavens Palace.

Hongjun was aware of the situation at Mount Sumeru, but the entire Mount Sumeru was essentially an empty mountain, and he had no desire to make a move.

It was already remarkable that he could bestow upon Mituo a Hongmeng Purple Qi, enabling him to become Heavenly Dao Saint.

Now that the Heaven Demon has descended upon Mount Sumeru, there is no benefit for Hongjun, so why would he help the brothers Mituo and Bodhi?

Moreover, in Hongjun's view, if Mount Sumeru were occupied by the Heaven Demon, Mituo and Bodhi would only become more dependent on him, Hongjun, in the future.

He intends to use Mituo and Bodhi to instigate the Witch-Demon Calamity and the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, making it easier to divide the Sanqing.

Therefore, Hongjun ignored the Heaven Demon's actions on Mount Sumeru and continued to focus on preaching.

Below, the brothers Mituo and Bodhi, who were struggling to listen to the sermon, had their expressions change drastically.

Just now, they felt their Destiny/Luck suddenly plummet.

Their already meager Destiny/Luck has been further diminished, how could they not change color drastically?

"Brother, something terrible must have happened on Mount Sumeru!"

Bodhi anxiously transmitted his voice to Mituo.

The two brothers, besides their own Destiny/Luck, only had the two or three cats and kittens they kept on Mount Sumeru as a source of their Destiny/Luck.

Now that they are listening to the Dao in the Purple Heavens Palace, their Destiny/Luck will only decline if something happens to Mount Sumeru.

"Second brother, please calm down. The Saint is currently at a crucial juncture in his sermon, and we must not make any moves."

If we offend the Saint, my brother and I may lose the opportunity to become Saint on the spot.

Mount Sumeru is a small matter; the Path of Dao of my brother and I is of utmost importance.

Once my brother and I have the opportunity to instantly become saints, the changes on Mount Sumeru will be a trivial matter."

Mituo was also anxious, but he did not lose his composure; he knew what was more important.

Moreover, Mituo also knew a bit about Hongjun's personality.

I know that although Hongjun is Saint, his heart is not very good.

If the two brothers were to cause trouble at such a crucial juncture, they might lose their advantageous opportunity to compete for the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Upon hearing Mituo's words, Bodhi felt as if struck by a thunderbolt, and instantly calmed down.

Mituo is right. If they cause any trouble now, they may lose their chance to compete for the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

If the two brothers lose the opportunity to compete for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, they will probably have little chance of making any progress in the future.

The West was already impoverished, and these two brothers were the weakest among quasi-saints of the same realm.

If they lost the opportunity to instantly attain sainthood, the two brothers would be completely obliterated among the masses.

Seeing that the brothers Mituo and Bodhi were not causing any trouble, Hongjun was happy to have some peace and quiet and continued his sermon.

As for Mount Sumeru, the Heaven Demon himself descended and easily and completely conquered Mount Sumeru.

"I don't know what the Lord is thinking. What's so good about Mount Sumeru that he wants me to occupy it?"

The Western Continent is currently too barren, having yet to recover from the devastation of the Dragon-Han Calamity and the Immortal-Demon Conflict.

"If I had known this would happen, I could have easily captured him by sending a few Heaven Demon warriors. Why did I have to come down here personally?"

The Heaven Demon looked at the broken half of Mount Sumeru with a somewhat listless expression.

In the past, when the Devil Ancestor Luohu was alive, Mount Sumeru was still standing, and the power of the Demon Cult was immense.

Although the Demon Cult has now produced Jidu, he has Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal: the Heaven Demon, the Earth Demon, and the Demon of Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

However, they live in a remote corner of the Demon Realm, and this time they have been bullied by the Old Thief Hongjun.

The Heaven Demon was not particularly concerned about the broken half of Mount Sumeru and quickly suppressed any feelings of wonder in his heart.

At this moment, a Heaven Demon arrived before him with a living being.

"Demon Lord, this being has good potential and talent. What should we do with it?"

The power brought by that Heaven Demon was equivalent to that of a Golden Immortal.

"Medicine Master? That does seem to have some background. I, Heaven Demon, also value talent. How about joining my Heavenly Demon Clan?"

As Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal, the Heaven Demon could immediately discern the origins of the being before him.

The Medicine Master's background is indeed excellent; even Heaven Demon of the same realm cannot do anything to Medicine Master.

That's why they were brought to meet the Demon Lord, the Heaven Demon.

Seeing that the Medicine Master had good talent and potential, the Heaven Demon was also drawn to his abilities.

They wanted to recruit the Medicine Master into the Heavenly Demon Clan with heartfelt devotion.

If the Medicine Master were forcibly transformed into the Heavenly Demon Clan, his innate talents and foundation would certainly be greatly diminished, which would not be desirable.

Although Mituo and Bodhi are the most worthless and incompetent among the quasi-saints.

However, the Medicine Master was trained with all his might, which is why the Medicine Master rejected the Heaven Demon without hesitation.

"Senior Heaven Demon, this junior Medicine Master has already become a disciple of Mituo, and therefore cannot transfer to serve under Senior Heaven Demon."

I implore the Heaven Demon to consider that my master, Mituo, Bodhi, are disciples of the Saint Hongjun, and that I will attain sainthood upon receiving the Primordial Hongmeng Purple Qi.

"Release the junior, and my master will be grateful to Senior Heaven Demon in the future."

The Medicine Master, however, showed no fear whatsoever and spoke calmly.

Even before the third lecture began, Mituo and Bodhi had told the Medicine Master that they were very likely to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

The purpose was to prevent powerful beings from invading Mount Sumeru when its defenses were weak.

With this information as a reliable source, it might scare away any powerful invading forces.

Moreover, as the most valued disciple in their Daoist Tradition, the Medicine Master naturally hoped to use this news to save his life.

Unexpectedly, the invaders of Mount Sumeru were beings like the Heaven Demon.

The Heaven Demon was startled by the Medicine Master's words.

"How could Mituo and Bodhi obtain a Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

Could it be that this is why the Lord sent me to occupy Mount Sumeru?

Hiss~!

The Lord has actually managed to scheme against Saint! It's truly terrifying.

Fortunately, I had agreed to submit to the sovereign's Witch Race at the time; otherwise, even if the sovereign's Witch Race had let me go, I would have fallen into their Witch Race again.

Upon hearing the Medicine Master's words, the Heaven Demon finally realized why Dijiang wanted him to invade Mount Sumeru.

He had previously wondered why the Witch Race, who controlled the entire Central Continent, would still set their sights on the barren Mount Sumeru.

Now, the Heaven Demon finally felt he had found the answer.

At this moment, the Heaven Demon couldn't help but feel respect for the Witch Race once again.

To actually be playing chess with Saint, scheming against Saint —that's truly terrifying.

The Heaven Demon, who had originally occupied Mount Sumeru and were preparing to leave, now had no intention of leaving either.

With Mituo and Bodhi, two quasi-saints, present, if he were to return, the Heavenly Demon Clan of Mount Sumeru would certainly not be able to hold out.

He, the Heaven Demon, wanted to personally guard Mount Sumeru.

Since this involves the schemes of both the Saint and the Witch Race, the Heaven Demon does not intend to punish the Medicine Master arbitrarily.

The Heaven Demon immediately sent a message to Dijiang, inquiring about the Medicine Master's treatment plan.

"Oh? The West has produced Mituo and Bodhi, yet it has also produced a being with decent innate talent. That's rather unexpected."

Upon receiving the message from the Heaven Demon, Dijiang spoke with some surprise.
