"You must believe in my artifact refining abilities."

"It's precisely because I believe too much in your artifact refining abilities!"

"Then why such a worried look on your face?"

"Alas~~, let's change the subject." Demon Ancestor Luo Hou sighed and put the Treasure Money away.

He felt that if the conversation continued, there was a ninety-nine percent chance he would be hoodwinked by Xuanqing. And if this new Spiritual Treasure, not yet fully appreciated, was to be led astray, he would truly have regrets.

Xuanqing reluctantly shifted his gaze away.

"What's your view on the issues concerning the Fierce Beast Clan?" Xuanqing asked.

Luo Hou chuckled: "What's there for me to view? I can only watch from the sidelines. Haven't you arranged everything clearly?"

Xuanqing emphasized: "That is all due to the Phoenix Clan's intelligence and strategizing. What does it have to do with me?"

"Indeed, indeed. Among the ten thousand races, those who are cunning are like carps leaping over the dragon gate. Not to mention, there are always a few unknown prodigies that emerge, right?"

Luo Hou, having a good relationship with Netherworld, might not know every single detail about Xuanqing, but he could still perceive some clues.

With the power of a Da Luo Supreme, he could transcend space and time, overlooking the Space-Time River. These small clues were enough for him to discern the entire picture.

"Ah, sitting next to a Da Luo Supreme like you, one has no privacy at all." Xuanqing feigned a deep sigh, suggesting he was under great pressure.

Luo Hou didn't even want to deal with him.

The ability of a Da Luo is omnipotence. This is a fact.

But speaking of pressure.

Every time he comes to Netherworld, isn't it him who's pressured by Xuanqing?

The Taiyi Gods, innately one with the Dao, existing concurrently with the Dao, are the origins of the Dao.

Though each Taiyi God, based on their traits and preferences, may choose a path that best fits the Great Dao and become a Daoist Master.

However, this does not mean that gods of the Taiyi level are not proficient in other paths of the Great Dao.

Things like turning the false into the true, creating something from nothing, defining concepts, shaping rules, molding the Heavenly Dao, Heaven Creation... all methods and laws are at their fingertips.

And then there's creating billions upon billions of worlds with a single thought; shaping timelines at will within the Space-Time River; endlessly layering infinite worlds within the Multi-Universe. They each play with these realms too freely.

If they don't mess around in the Primordial True Realm, the Taiyi Gods can have a blast in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

This is also why, whether it is among the many Taiyi in the Primordial True Realm or the various Daoist Masters in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, they are all very capable of stirring things up.

And among these mischievous Taiyi Gods, Xuanqing's capacity for mischief is truly unique.

The Taixu Gods are witnesses to this fact.

Sitting with a god like Xuanqing, who is so unconventional, which Da Luo Supreme wouldn't feel pressured coming here?

Luo Hou looked at the Xuanqing before him and couldn't help but feel contemplative: "Now I can't even predict what kind of changes Primordial will undergo after you become a Da Luo."

"Do you even have to ask?"

Xuanqing smiled: "It will definitely be a wonderful future where the gods are harmonious, all races live in peace, and everyone loves one another!"

"Let's hope so." Luo Hou spoke with a wish he himself didn't believe in.

However, there is one good point, which is that no matter how much Xuanqing stirs things up, he is still a Demon King of the Demon Path.

One of our own!

By the banks of the Black Water, on Undying Mountain.

Mutual Gaze Corpse came straight here after returning from the Chaos.

"Shen Ni, open the door! I know you're lying inside."

"You have the nerve to make big moves behind my back, have the courage to open the door!"

Coming to Undying Mountain, Mutual Gaze Corpse found that the inner Heavenly World within Undying Mountain was sealed. The boundary between reality and illusion had disappeared, and it couldn't find the entrance!

Mutual Gaze Corpse wandered around the mountain for quite a while but couldn't get in.

"Damn Shen Ni, now that you know your secret's been exposed, you're hiding from me, aren't you!"

Mutual Gaze Corpse was convinced that Shen Ni felt guilty and, fearing his reprimanding, deliberately went into hiding.

"Fine, you hide then. I'll just stay here in the mountains and not leave, let's see if you'll come out!"

The more Mutual Gaze Corpse thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply settled in the Undying Mountain, planning to wait for Shen Ni to appear.

"If you dare come out, Mutual Gaze Uncle here will beat you to death with one blow!" Mutual Gaze Corpse was full of resentment.

Meanwhile, in the Cangwu Abyss.

At the bottom of the Endless Abyss, the Grotto Heaven World that was smashed by Demon Ancestor Luo Hou had been repaired again.

A Chaos Coffin was placed here once more, the Great Dao winding through it, a vision of myriad forms.

A few light coughs sounded from within the coffin, and the heavy lid was slowly pushed open.

An innately divine being with handsome features sat up from within. His eyes lacked their usual luster, below his prominent nose, his lips nearly lost their color, and his face was sickly pale. His hair was disheveled, and his ceremonial cap was nowhere to be seen.

"Who the hell is it?!!"

"Chasing me down and slaughtering me out of the blue?"

After rising from the coffin, the perturbed Shen Ni had a sullen face, still unclear about where those fierce beasts came from.

"I don't have any grudges with them, do I?"

"Or is it some karma I've left behind in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds that's catching up to me?"

Shen Ni thought carefully about what sordid deeds he had committed in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

"Eh, forget it, don't want to think anymore."

Shen Ni then gave up struggling.

No use, there were simply too many deplorable acts, the karmic threads were tangled into a ball, impossible to sort out.

Any one of these karmic threads could backfire on him.

"I better think about which Demon God to look for next."

Sitting in the Chaos Coffin, Shen Ni took stock of his information: "Got the Dao Artifact of the Destruction Demon God; lost an eyeball, but it's ok, he got chopped dumb anyway."

"The rib of Time Demon God, that's not coming back. Next time I'll look for something else."

"The Creation Dao Fruit is probably in the hands of Nuwa; two great Creation Jade Artifacts, the Creation Jade Disc is with Hong Jun, and of the other one, I haven't tracked it down…"

"Piao Miao got his corpse searched by Fu Xi last time, let's skip that."

"Qiankun Demon God, that guy's treasure is in White Jade City, his Dao Fruit seems to be with the Qilin Clan, worth probing for a chance; might even find the Divine Treasure Dao Fruit."

Evidently, Shen Ni also knew of the hidden matters among Chaos Demon Gods.

"Dark Demon God appeared but then vanished for some reason; Five Elements Demon Gods are likely the Five-needle Pine, but that guy is lively and bouncy, no need for a soul-summoning, and the Dao Fruit is tough to snatch."

"So who else is there? Order Demon God, Fate Demon God, Bright Demon God." Shen Ni pondered which of the three easiest targets he should go after first.

"Mutual Gaze Daoist, you say..." Shen Ni subconsciously wanted to ask Mutual Gaze for his opinion, then realized he was alone.

He wondered, "Eh? Where did Mutual Gaze go? Why hasn't he come to find me?"

Shen Ni calculated Mutual Gaze Corpse's current location.

"Oh, he's in the Undying Mountain!" A relieved smile appeared on Shen Ni's somewhat pale face.

"Not bad, knowing to keep watch over my place."

"But now with the transformation imminent, I still need to lie down for a while, won't return yet."

With Mutual Gaze Corpse keeping watch, there would be no issues with the Undying Mountain.

After completely sealing the Cangwu Abyss, Shen Ni lay back in the coffin and closed the lid once more.

"Humph, wait until my transformation is complete, then swallow a perfect Dao Fruit, and become a Da Luo just to scare all of you!"

"Order Dao Fruit, Fate Dao Fruit, Bright Dao Fruit, which one should I go for?"
