The Senior Was Actually Li Mo's Artifact Spirit?

"Exactly! This is the senior who saved us. Zhen Yuanzi is deeply grateful!" Zhen Yuanzi bowed to Luohu, who stood atop the gourd.

"Not just you. My sister and I also received this senior's help. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape from Daoist Yuanshi so soon," Fu Xi added.

"Thank you, senior!"

The several mighty figures of the primordial world exchanged glances, then bowed in gratitude.

Luohu, standing atop the gourd, gave a light cough before saying, "Come now, it was just a small matter. There's no need for all this."

"It may be a small matter to you, senior, but it's a great matter to the two of us brothers! Di Jun would like to invite you to join the Demon Race as one of its sovereigns. May I ask what you think of the offer?"

His words left everyone present stunned.

Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, and the siblings Fu Xi and Nuwa all looked at Di Jun.

They hadn't expected this fellow to be so direct, trying to bring such a powerful expert straight back to the Demon Court.

Jun Ge! You're going to bring this guy straight back to Heaven? Are you kidding me?

Do you even know who he is?

He's Demon Ancestor Luohu!

At those words, Di Jun's body jolted.

Was he kidding? Had he really invited Demon Ancestor Luohu to join the Demon Race and become one of its Three Sovereigns?

Everyone in the primordial world knew about the grudge between Demon Ancestor Luohu and Hong Jun.

If Luohu joined the Demon Race, wouldn't they be doomed?

Di Jun's expression turned awkward as he wondered how to take back what he'd just said.

But he had already given his word. How could he take it back?

Fortunately, Li Mo's thoughts that followed made him break out in a cold sweat.

There's no way Luohu's going to become the Demon Emperor or anything like that.

Luohu has another identity besides being Demon Ancestor.

He's my Artifact Spirit. See?

That black gourd under his feet is the God Slaying Gourd, an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Luohu's my underling now. If I tell him to go east, he definitely won't go west.

As for becoming the Demon Emperor, that's absolutely out of the question.

What?

Hearing this, Di Jun stared intently at his fifth younger brother.

This fellow, whose strength was extraordinary and nearly on the level of a quasi-sage, was actually the Artifact Spirit of the God Slaying Gourd.

And the God Slaying Gourd was an Innate Supreme Treasure!

An Innate Supreme Treasure that belonged to Li Mo.

Di Jun was practically going mad.

The information was almost too much for him to process.

So Li Mo was the reason he'd been saved this time.

Li Mo actually possessed a treasure as incredible as an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Even he, the dignified Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Race, one of its two emperors, a Golden Crow born from the Sun Star and blessed with immense destiny, didn't have such a treasure.

Yet his fifth younger brother had one of these heaven-defying treasures.

Di Jun was consumed by envy and jealousy.

Jun Ge! Why are you looking at me like I'm some Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure?

I'm not some rare treasure, you know.

Li Mo complained in annoyance.

Di Jun slowly calmed himself.

Luohu remained standing atop the God Slaying Gourd in silence for a long while.

Nuwa, Fu Xi, and the others also kept quiet, as though they were waiting for this reclusive expert to answer.

On the surface, Luohu looked utterly calm. In truth, he was thrilled.

"Master! Did you hear that? Did you hear?"

"Even though I've been gone for countless ages, the moment I show up in the primordial world, someone immediately offers me the position of Demon Emperor!"

"I've decided! I'll have all these members of the Demon Race cultivate Devil Dao techniques and set them on the path of the Devil Dao."

Luohu was so excited that he clenched his fist and sent his words to Li Mo through telepathy.

Li Mo replied, "Cultivate my ass. You're just a little Artifact Spirit. Hurry up and get lost. Disappear for now, and don't come back until I summon you."

"Huh? But I'm going to be the Demon Emperor!" Luohu complained.

"I said no, so it's no. Are you the master, or am I?"

"You are!"

"Then get lost!"

"Fine!"

Demonic energy surged around Luohu as he slowly sat down.

Muttering to himself, he didn't answer Di Jun. Instead, he said, "I'll brush off my clothes and leave, concealing my achievements and fame!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a streak of black light, passed through the clouds, and vanished.

"He... he left?" Tai Yi asked, puzzled.

"So this is what an expert is like? He has no interest at all in the position of Demon Emperor Di Jun offered him. He didn't even bother to say a word to us before leaving just like that!"

Zhen Yuanzi clicked his tongue as he watched Luohu disappear.

"I wonder when I'll be able to reach that level. When such a great temptation is placed before you, turning it down must be incredibly difficult." Hong Yun shook his head as he spoke.

Di Jun, however, glanced at them without letting his thoughts show.

You think he's an expert.

But if you knew that he was merely the Artifact Spirit of Li Mo, whose cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Mystic Immortal realm, you'd probably lose your minds.

Thank goodness you don't know. How come I'm the only one who does?

Sigh! Li Mo already had this kind of strength.

That meant that if he wanted to, neither Tai Yi nor I could possibly beat him.

Luohu really does love showing off.

If he gets his hands on an Innate Supreme Treasure of slaughter like the God Slaying Spear, won't his tail be wagging all the way up in the sky?

Hearing this, Di Jun staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Tai Yi was supporting him from behind.

"Big brother, what's wrong? Did that battle drain too much of your energy?" Tai Yi asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I just thought of something and found it unbelievable!"

The Innate Supreme Treasure of slaughter, the God Slaying Spear!

Li Mo actually had the Innate Supreme Treasure of slaughter, the God Slaying Spear!

How was that possible?

How could it be?

With the God Slaying Gourd and the God Slaying Spear, wouldn't that be utterly heaven-defying?

"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, you gave my sister and me a treasure each. Now that this matter is settled, we've repaid our debt, so we'll be leaving," Fu Xi said politely.

"You two are leaving?" Di Jun asked in surprise.

Well, look at you, Jun Ge! You secretly got to know Nuwa and Fu Xi.

So that's why they helped you.

This is a good thing. Nuwa will be one of the Six Saints in the future.

But now you need to strike while the iron is hot and seize the chance to invite them to join the Demon Race.

Give them the title of Demon Emperor right away, then offer them some irresistible benefits. They'll definitely agree.

After all, they're members of the Demon Race themselves!

Hearing this, Di Jun's eyes lit up.

Li Mo was right. If he hadn't reminded him, Di Jun might not have thought of it.

Wasn't the whole reason he had traveled through the primordial world to recruit powerful figures?

This time, he'd gained a great deal!

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, Fellow Daoist Fu Xi, I would like to invite you both to the Sun God Palace in Heaven," Di Jun said.
