The Opportunity Manifests, the Grotto-heaven Shall Emerge
In this day and age, the core strength of the Demon Clan race is not necessarily very powerful.
However, the Demon Clan is a collection of countless Postnatal Being, and the number of living beings it possesses is terrifying.
Di Jun gave the order.
From beyond Mount Sumeru in the west to before Mount Kunlun in the east.
From the Northern Darkness Sea to the wild mountains of the south.
Countless demons bowed their heads in obedience.
Langlang Mountain.
The aged pig demon leaned on his cane, gazing at the mountains under the setting sun, a look of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.
"Since His Majesty has issued the decree, my Blackwater Spirit Pig lineage of Langlang Mountain will naturally comply."
The old pig demon's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he thought of the Marketplace mentioned in the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Decree.
An old man is shrewd, an old horse is slippery, and an old rabbit is hard to catch.
As a veteran of the Myriad Spirits Alliance, he is an old demon who has spent more than ten eons crawling among piles of corpses.
He had already keenly sensed that this was an opportunity.
Changyuan Mountain Range Marketplace?
Perhaps this could be used to communicate and conspire with the Demon Clan of the Changyuan Mountain Range.
In the past, these mountain strongholds each governed themselves independently.
They were suppressed within the Changyuan Mountain Range by a subordinate tribe of the Zhu Rong Witch Clan, which was millions of miles away, and could not advance an inch.
This is an utter disgrace.
The Howling Moon Wolf Clan and the Moonlight Deer Clan have a long-standing feud.
'The old elephant of the White Savage Mountain Demon Cave and the old woman of Nine Bends Mountain used to have a bitter feud, fighting for eight hundred years and shattering tens of thousands of miles of mountain ranges.'
'Only my Demon Cave on Langlang Mountain is adept at navigating social situations, rarely making enemies with other races.'
"Now His Majesty has issued a divine decree: all tribes shall contribute manpower and resources as appropriate, and the Changyuan Mountain Range Marketplace must be established within a hundred years."
'The various tribes are not on good terms; perhaps I, an old man, will have to act as a peacemaker.'
'This makes it possible to locate the Marketplace around Langlang Mountain.'
In this way, Langlang Mountain will become the most prosperous area in the Changyuan Mountain Range in the future.
The benefits that this can bring to the Blackwater Spirit Pig clan are immeasurable.
Thinking of what the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Decree said.
After the Marketplace is completed.
The Sun Palace, Phoenix Perch Mountain, and Huai River Water Palace would all send envoys to be stationed there.
Various thoughts flashed through the old pig demon's mind.
He didn't know if it was good or bad.
In the short term, the presence of envoys from these three prominent lineages in the Marketplace will surely unite the Demon Clan around the Marketplace to fight against the Witch Tribes millions of miles away. Even if it's just a show of unity, it still requires genuine solidarity.
'However, in the long run, the lives of us local tyrants, far from the emperor's reach, are probably not going to be so easy.'
There are envoys from three sides here, even if they don't specifically interfere in the internal affairs of the various tribes.
'We would never dare to act recklessly again.'
Thinking of this, the old pig demon shuddered inexplicably.
Could it be that the construction of the Marketplace is a ruse?
Using the Marketplace as a chessboard, their true aim is to strengthen their control over the myriad races and demonic lineages of us.
'Hiss~'
'Terrifying, terrifying!'
The old pig demon gasped.
If it's really as he thinks...
His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has much deeper thoughts.
Put aside all the thoughts in your heart.
The old pig demon turned to look at his descendants and said in a deep voice:
"You shall quickly follow my instructions and proceed to the various demon Demon Caves to convey my message to their respective Demon Cave masters."
"Whether Langlang Mountain can stand up for itself or not depends on this moment."
The pig demons listened with solemn expressions.
"I will obey the ancestor's instructions."
"Children, let's get to work."
After the clan members and their descendants dispersed.
The old pig demon, with his bamboo staff and straw sandals, flew leisurely towards the outside of Langlang Mountain, clouds rising beneath his feet.
Some small to medium-sized Demon Caves.
Sending the children will naturally be fine.
The masters of those Great Demon caves are not easy to deal with, so he had to take action himself.
What happened on Langlang Mountain has happened in many other places as well.
Woniu Mountain.
The bull demon, clad in Golden Chainmail and wielding a Gold Eyebrow-Length Staff, spoke in a deep, booming voice:
"Damn it."
"This Marketplace must be built on Woniu Mountain."
"Our mountains produce a lot of Sky Gold Mica every year."
"We just can't trade things with other Demon Caves."
Vanguard Ox, standing behind him, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
'Your Majesty, you spend your days battling with the masters of other Demon Caves.'
'They'd storm the mountain gate at the slightest disagreement.'
'Who dares to take the medicinal herbs from our Woniu Mountain?'
The Ox King of Woniu Mountain glanced at his subordinates.
"That vixen from the Sky Fox Cave stole a treasure trove; the Flesh Ganoderma produced in the spirit field are extremely useful for my body tempering."
"Keep a close eye on things."
"Once the Marketplace is completed, we will exchange all the Flesh Ganoderma."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Clear Stream Ravine.
A black fish swam underwater, wandering aimlessly in the silent, dark waters for an unknown amount of time.
Finally, the view in front of me became bright.
On the surrounding coral, pearls shimmered with light.
A flash of black light, and the black fish that was swimming in the water instantly transformed into a beautiful woman dressed in a long black dress.
"Demon Clan Marketplace?"
The beautiful woman picked up the jade slip in her hand.
A flicker of joy crossed my heart.
Although the Black Fish Clan of Clear Stream Ravine is weak.
However, some precious Spirit Fish are also kept in the water.
'Perhaps we can exchange the Spirit Fish for some Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities and supernatural abilities from the Demon Clan on land.'
That way, the Black Fish Clan's foundation and strength can be enhanced.
Thinking of this, the beautiful woman quickly summoned the tribespeople who were still busy around her.
Tell them to go to the river pasture and keep a close eye on the Spirit Fish they are raising.
A century later.
It might fetch a good price.
Di Jun issued an edict.
The entire Demon Clan instantly began to spin like a giant machine.
One by one, the acquired races saw the benefits of the Marketplace in Di Jun's edict.
For various reasons, the construction of the Marketplace progressed very rapidly.
This even exceeded the expectations of the Heavenly Court and Zhou Yuan.
Just as the construction of the Marketplace was in full swing.
While Zhou Yuan was wandering in the Grand Void of the Huai River, comprehending the Great Dao, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"The Heavenly Secrets are revealed."
An opportunity has arisen.
Zhou Yuan calculated with his fingers, and the black and white chessboard within the Dao Fruit Auspicious Cloud began to move, emanating boundless spiritual light.
The two colors, black and white, give rise to all things in the universe.
Suddenly, a torrent of wealth and Mortal World aura burst forth from the void.
Amidst the myriad rays of light, Zhou Yuan saw only a majestic and extraordinary mountain, its peak reaching the heavens, appearing and disappearing in the distance.
"So this is the place."
Wuyi Mountain - True Ascension to Profound Grotto-heaven.
This is one of the most Grotto-heaven blessed lands in the Primordial Great World.
"The Demon Clan race is quite swift."
"I originally thought it would take several hundred years before this Innate Grotto-heaven would be brought into existence."
"But now, it's much earlier than the time I calculated."
Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up with joy.
After attaining enlightenment, he planned to establish a formal Buddhist temple in a certain place.
This is because the Innate Grotto-heavens were all Chaos Fragments that fell into the Primordial World and evolved by combining with the laws of the beginning of heaven and earth.
Sitting in the center allows one to get closer to the Great Dao, which is of great benefit to cultivation and enlightenment.
If they could occupy the True Ascension to Profound Grotto-heaven in Wuyi Mountain, it would be a good thing for both Zhou Yuan and his disciples.
"There are hidden Treasure-Dropping Golden Coins in the In Wuyi Mountains."
"This treasure is related to Acquired Merchant Dao fortune; we must make a trip to it as soon as possible."
"To avoid complications if we delay."
A single thought arises.
Zhou Yuan tapped his bamboo staff lightly and disappeared into the water mansion.
