Great Dao Tree

After the meeting, Azure Cloud Master invited Gudoer to go to the Azure Cloud Peak.

He also had many questions that he needed to discuss with Gudoer.

"Fellow Daoist, I would like to ask you some questions," Azure Cloud Master said without any hesitation.

The hatred between him and the Demon Lord still exists.

However, he did not deny that the Demon Lord had gone further down the Great Dao of the Great Way. If he could learn some skills from Demon Lord, asking him for guidance would not be a problem at all.

Besides, he had already been learning from the Demon Lord hundreds of years ago.

Gudoer didn't seem to care and asked directly, "What do you want to ask?"

Azure Cloud Master gazed into the distance, pondering for a long time before asking, "You came from other places. I'd like to ask, what kind of place is it? What lies beyond the Immortal Cultivation Realm? How are these places different from the Immortal Cultivation Realm?"

Gudoer remained silent for a moment before saying with a wry smile, "Fellow Gudoer, I am merely Dao Realm Perfection cultivator, which, according to your terms, is equivalent to the True Immortal Realm. The question you asked is beyond my comprehension."

The only thing I can tell you is some information about our Demon Realm.

"Yes!" Azure Cloud Master nodded.

"The Demon Realm is vast and boundless!" Gudoer said slowly. "All around us is endless Void; high above, there lies the end of the Demon Dao path, a place we may never reach in our lifetime."

Regarding the lofty heights of the Great Dao, our understanding is too limited to reach them or even glimpse them.

However, the Void surrounding the Demon Realm... it's possible for us cultivators at the Dao Realm Perfection to try and explore its Void. And deep within the Void, there may also be fortuitous opportunity we need."

Gudoer spoke very vaguely, Azure Cloud Master frowned as he listened.

"Although we cannot fathom the unimaginable pinnacle of the Great Dao, many of our predecessors have made speculations," Gudoer continued. "Countless predecessors believe that the true Demon Realm should be like this!"

As he spoke, Gudoer used the Demonic Dao Laws, and Devil Qi swirled around him, causing a tree formed from Devil Qi to grow towards the sky.

Gudoer pointed to the sky, and Azure Cloud Master said solemnly, "This world is like an endless Void, without end!"

And this tree is equivalent to the Demon Dao!

At the very top are the creators and World-Opener of our Demon Dao, who continuously and infinitely elevate Demon Dao existence in the endless Void.

As for us, we are beings who live on this great tree of Demon Dao cultivation!

We are climbing up this tree; this is our path of cultivation.

Of course, there are also countless brilliant talents in our Demon Dao, who are constantly extending this Demonic Dao Tree and opening up new avenues for Demon Dao cultivation in other directions.

This entire structure constitutes our Demon Realm!

At this point, Gudoer gave Azure Cloud Master a meaningful look and continued, "The Immortal Dao, the Ghost Dao, Monster Dao, according to the reasoning, should also be the same!"

Unless, of course, someone wasn't in this situation from the very beginning.

From the very beginning, they wanted to grow into a towering tree!

They are going to carve out a new system in the Void!

Such people are called World-Opener!

Azure Cloud Master gazed at the Demonic Dao Tree that Gudoer had conjured, lost in thought.

If the truth about the Demon Realm is indeed as described, then isn't his Great Dao still just a seed?

Perhaps, it's not just the embryo; two leaves have already sprouted.

"Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist!" Azure Cloud Master seemed to understand something, then asked, "Do you need to go see your fellow Daoists now? Or would you like the others to come along?"

Gudoer shook his head. "They don't need to go with us, I can go myself."

I'll go talk to them and see which ones to release next time.

However, it is truly remarkable that you, Fellow Daoist, have been able to achieve consecutive breakthroughs in such a short period of time.

"You flatter me!" Azure Cloud Master led Gudoer deeper into the great formation.

Although the two sides were talking, they never discussed the issue of their mutual hatred.

Because this matter is unavoidable, the fact that neither side has brought it up yet doesn't mean they don't value it. Rather, it's because this issue is so deeply entrenched that bringing it up now won't solve anything and will only cause more trouble.

Within the great formation, the Demon Lord were discussing their plans.

In Zhang Yang's villa, Zhang Yang and Situ Mingyue were also having a late-night conversation.

"Have any changes occurred with the data I asked you to monitor?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Yes!" Situ Mingyue took out the booklet and said with a solemn expression, "Eldest Senior Brother, guess which continent in the world buys the most things from our Azure Moon Merchant Association?"

"Langya Continent?" Zhang Yang asked tentatively, "Or perhaps the Myriad Spirits Continent!"

These two continents are the closest to the Azure Cloud Sect and are the most likely to purchase various items in large quantities.

However, considering the hostile relationship between the Myriad Spirits Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect, Zhang Yang felt that it was most likely the Langya Sacred Land.

"Eldest Senior Brother is wise!" Situ Mingyue nodded. "It is indeed the Langya Continent."

The items they purchased from our Azure Moon Merchant Association amounted to nearly 10 billion. Of course, this wasn't just a purchase by the Langya Sacred Land; other sects, Academy, and Aristocratic Clan also participated.

Moreover, this is only a rough calculation.

Zhang Yang smiled helplessly. They currently have a good relationship with the Langya Sacred Land. If he were to launch his plan to plunder the world, the Langya Continent would be in dire straits!

Wouldn't this be killing off our ally first?

They had no way of alerting the Langya Continent to this matter; otherwise, other continents would also be on alert.

Therefore, we have no choice but to take over the Langya Sacred Land first!

We'll see what methods we can use to make amends for the Langya Sacred Land later.

"Because Heavenly Heart Island is the farthest away, they bought the least amount of goods. Overall, it's only about two or three billion in value!" Situ Mingyue continued flipping through the data in the booklet. "The top five continents are Langya Continent, Myriad Spirits Continent, Snow Region, Sacred Spirit Church, and Sea-Heaven Pavilion!"

Among them, the Cloud Firmament Palace's share has recently increased dramatically, most likely due to their battle with the Ghost Realm Envoys.

Zhang Yang gestured to Situ Mingyue, took the booklet from her hand, and began to browse through it himself.

After a long pause, he shook his head and said, "Not enough!"

Give them a taste of their own medicine!

After you return, adjust the policies of the Azure Moon Merchant Association, and continue to lower the prices of various commodities.

We've made enough money already. Now let's subsidize it and dig out all the secrets of those sects.

The Ghost Realm Envoys have wreaked havoc across the land. Our Azure Cloud Sect is deeply grateful for this and is providing subsidies to everyone. This is called the Loss Compensation!

Also, aren't Return to Origin Temple and the Sacred Spirit Church Sect very far from the mainland?

Give them a travel expense subsidy!

We must ensure that they can buy our Azure Moon Merchant Association's goods at the most favorable price.

Of course, we definitely want to make money, it's just a difference between making 10,000 and 3,000 on a single deal.

In addition, slightly increase the purchase price of various raw materials, and try to empty their coffers as much as possible.

For the first two years, we made them feel like they were making a profit, while we made less.

Two years later, start cutting them!
