Taking Stock of the Spoils
Ji Daoyan fell silent for a moment, standing quietly in the sky.
The Black Dragon Demon Ancestor is an ancient and Bu Xiu True Dragon, whose cultivation ranks among the top ten in the Purple Yin Realm. If such a being were to interfere with his path to enlightenment, even the Human Race Dao Lord of the Eastern Wilderness would have to pay a huge price to stop him.
However, once one reaches the level of the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor, one will no longer make promises lightly, because one's Primordial Spirit senses the Great Dao, and every action one takes already secretly aligns with the Dao Xuan.
Once a promise is made, it represents one's Dao heart. If one goes against one's Dao heart, one will be rejected by the Great Dao, and it will be extremely difficult to comprehend the opportunity to become an immortal in the future.
Since he is willing to make that promise, then when Ji Daoyan breaks through to the Primordial Spirit in the future, this ancient Black Dragon will definitely not make a move.
As long as the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor doesn't intervene, Ji Daoyan's external tribulation will be significantly less difficult, and his chances of becoming a Pure Yang Dao Lord will greatly increase.
"I have already severed the physical body of this Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, and it will take at least three hundred years to rebuild it."
"Moreover, even if he reconstructs his physical body in the future, it will certainly be quite difficult for him to transform into that ancient azure Azure Dragon and break through to the realm of the Primordial Spirit Demon Ancestor."
"Nothing can stop me from attaining enlightenment."
With this thought in mind, Ji Daoyan nodded and calmly said, "Agreed!"
Seeing that Ji Daoyan had given way, the Azure Jade Heavens-Measuring Ruler wrapped around the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor's Nascent Soul and flew into the depths of the void in the blink of an eye.
After the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor left, the Great Elder of the Ji Clan frowned and asked, "Are we just letting them go like that?"
"Otherwise what?" Ji Daoyan sighed, then shook his head and said, "Right now, we don't have the strength to deal with the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor."
"That Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor is about to transform into a dragon, it's a pity we can't finish the job in one battle!"
The Great Elder of the Ji Clan also shook his head, revealing a hint of helplessness.
Ji Daoyan said no more. He landed from the sky, glanced at Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong, and nodded slightly.
He didn't say much, only stating, "Everyone contributed significantly to this great victory."
"Now that we have won a resounding victory, it is naturally time to accept the fruits of our triumph."
Everyone showed joy. Since Ji Daoyan said he would accept the fruits of victory, it must be for the purpose of taking over several Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein of the Demon Race.
As expected, the Great Elder of the Ji Clan conjured a phantom map with his Law Power, pointed to the four Spirit Mountain on the map, and said, "The Azure-Wave Lake has three Tier-5 Earth Vein, and the Golden Rhinoceros Lineage also has one Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein."
"These Spirit Vein are Azure-Wave Lake, Golden Rhinoceros Ridge, Python-Crocodile Lake, and Azure Lotus Isle."
The Great Elder of the Ji Clan said, glancing at everyone, "Azure-Wave Lake cannot be touched, but Golden Rhinoceros Ridge, Python-Crocodile Lake, and Azure Lotus Isle can be taken."
"To prevent the Demon Race from destroying the Spirit Vein, we must act immediately and remember to finish this quickly."
Having decided to seize the three fifth-tier spiritual veins, everyone immediately arranged for people to set off. The Ji clan leader personally went to the Python Crocodile Lake, which was closest to Azure Wave Lake.
Several True Lord of the Ji Clan went to Golden Rhinoceros Ridge, while Chen Nianzhi and two others, along with Yan Ziji, Ji Feixue, and four or five others, led their men to attack Azure Lotus Isle.
Azure Lotus Isle is the territory of the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, possessing a Tier 5 low-level Spirit Vein and a Tier 5 Wood Attribute Earth Vein.
The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor escaped with his life from the great formation, but dared not even return to the Azure Lotus Isle. When they arrived, they found that the Demon King had also fled, with only a few remaining Demon King still reluctantly coveting the treasures here.
There's not much to say about this battle. Chen Nianzhi used the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to seal off the void, and with everyone joining forces to continuously attack, they finally destroyed this invaluable Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein.
After conquering Azure Lotus Isle, Chen Nianzhi discovered that a ' Creation Azure Jade Lotus ' was growing on the wood element Earth Vein of Azure Lotus Isle.
This ' Creation Azure Jade Lotus ' is an extremely rare Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root. It is said to be a descendant of the lotus seeds produced by the ' Creation Azure Lotus ', an innate Innate Spirit Root Immortal Realm, and possesses a trace of the bloodline of the Innate Spirit Root.
The Creation Azure Lotus before us is not particularly remarkable, but its grade is still as high as the Tier 4 High-Grade, making it a rare Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root.
The lotus seeds, pods, roots, and even leaves of this Creation Azure Lotus are astonishing treasures of nature.
The lotus seeds can increase a cultivator's cultivation level after consumption, the lotus pod is a top-grade treasure for refining Law Artifact, the lotus root is said to be able to refine External Avatar, and the lotus leaf is also an extremely special treasure.
"It's a pity the rank is a bit low."
Yan Ziji sighed. If the Creation Azure Jade Lotus were of a Tier 5 quality, then the lotus seeds it produced each time would be enough to make even True Lord cultivator drool.
Although there is only Tier 1 difference between Tier 4 High-Grade and Tier 5 low-quality item, the difference between the two is more than tenfold.
Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and then she said, "This Creation Azure Lotus will be useful to me. I'll exchange it for my battle merits later."
"Alright." Yan Ziji nodded, then smiled and said, "Just give some lotus seeds to my little sister Ling Ji."
After taking stock, the group discovered that there were many treasures in Azure Lotus Isle, the most precious of which was a Tier 5 low-level Wood Vein.
Within this Tier 5 Wood Vein, a Wood-Vein Jade is born every thousand years, and in addition, a large number of Ren-Water Azure Lotus grow there.
Although most of these Ren-Water Azure Lotus were not of high grade, they were key treasures for refining the Ren-Water Azure Lotus Platform, which delighted Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong.
"It seems we should take over this Earth Vein."
Chen Nianzhi whispered to Jiang Linglong, starting to discuss whether they could replace this Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein.
About seven or eight days later, after everyone had finished taking inventory of the Spirit Vein of Azure Lotus Isle, Ji Clan summoned everyone together again.
On this day, more than a dozen Nascent Soul True Lord gathered in the main hall of Demon Ape Mountain.
Among these people, besides Chen Nianzhi and his wife, there were Yan Ziji and Lingxu Fairy, and the rest were all True Lord of the Ji Clan.
The Ji clan leader glanced at everyone, then smiled and said, "You all contributed significantly to this victory."
"On behalf of the Ji Clan, I thank you all."
"True Lord, there's no need for such formality." Lingxu Fairy quickly bowed and said, "We only contributed our meager strength in this battle; the great victory is all thanks to True Lord's excellent planning."
The Ji clan chief nodded, then casually handed an account book to everyone, saying, "Take a look at it first, and then we'll discuss rewards."
Chen Nianzhi took the ledger, glanced at it briefly, and then a look of delight appeared on her face.
He had expected this battle to be a great success, but he never imagined the gains would be so astonishing.
In this battle, the Ji Clan plotted at Azure-Wave Lake, successively killing the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor, the Five-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, the Red Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, and the Frost Flood Dragon Demon Emperor.
Including the female demon queen of the Golden Rhinoceros Lineage that Chen Nianzhi killed, they had killed a total of five Nascent Soul demon queens.
