Faced with the demands put forward by the Interception Sect, neither the Buddhist Sect, the Ghost Sect, nor the Western Elucidation Sect could easily refuse.
Because the profits involved were enormous!
The divine posts alone meant a fixed monthly "salary"—yin yuan.
Even the Six Offices' Merit Officers and the Underworld's Three Departments in the middle city received no small sum each month, enough for those holding such positions to exchange for a certain amount of material "resources."
Of course, that was not the main point.
Without replenishment, those resources would eventually all be exchanged away. It was merely a matter of time.
The truly most important thing was the Nether Script, which had been free from the very beginning—and even paid you once you learned it. That was the real big prize.
One day, the Underworld would open up. Saints and Daluo would enter the fray.
When that time came, the outer city might still remain freely accessible, but the middle city and inner city certainly would not.
One had to know that even low third-rank Nether Script greatly enhanced a cultivator's soul. Even those at the Taiyi realm could feel the improvement, and when it came to the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment levels, the effect was downright staggering.
It was enough to multiply the strength of a cultivator's soul.
After all, not everyone was like Li Su, who had mastered Soul Supreme. For the vast majority of cultivators, their souls were very weak before reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm.
At present, because the Underworld had suddenly appeared alongside the threat of war, most people were more concerned with what would happen to them tomorrow, and so they had overlooked it.
But in truth, the appearance of Nether Script was a heaven-shaking great fortune, a great miracle for cultivators.
