Just as Mu Yao and the others thought, ever since the other high-grade realms learned about the whitecloud islands, the entire Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield went into an uproar. Even the Five Great Realms began to send people to contact the Hundred Treasures Realm. Naturally, the Fireweavers didn't contact the Hundred Treasures Realm. After all, the two sides had enmity. However, the Fireweavers began to contact the other high-grade realms. They wanted to know what was inside the Sea of Clouds.
The Hundred Treasures Realm no longer wanted to keep this matter a secret. These people wanted to get a share of the spoils of the Sea of Clouds. It would be best if they didn't do so. Let these people and the Cloudsea Territory consume each other.
Because of this idea, the Hundred Treasures Realm didn't hide anything this time. They announced the method of making transforming clouds as well as the fact that white clouds couldn't be left outside for too long. Otherwise, they would return. At the same time, they also announced that the success rate of refining weapons would be greatly increased. Naturally, they didn't forget to mention the cloud beasts as well.
When the Hundred Treasures Realm announced these things, as well as the cloud rice and cloud medicine that the other high-grade realms obtained, all of these things would attract a lot of attention. Most importantly, the Hundred Treasures Realm's possession of the Whitecloud Realm was equivalent to having their own territory in the Sea of Clouds. With this territory, they would be able to attack or retreat.
The high-grade realms weren't idiots. They knew how important whitecloud islands were to the other high-grade realms. With whitecloud islands, the Hundred Treasures Realm could increase their refining success rate, subdue cloud beasts, and speed up their cultivation. They could also obtain cloud rice, cloud medicines, and cloud wine. These were all good things.
These things made people's eyes red with envy. However, they couldn't enter the Sea of Clouds at any time. If they want to obtain whitecloud islands, they could only snatch them from the hands of the Cloudsea Territory. Moreover, they couldn't transport whitecloud islands back to the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield.
However, the other realms were also able to see the Hundred Treasures Realm's losses. The high-grade realms inquired about how many people the Hundred Treasures Realm brought with them. Naturally, they didn't know the exact number. What they knew was that the Hundred Treasures Realm brought 30 thousand people to the expedition. However, less than 10 thousand people returned. They had lost 20 thousand people.
This kind of loss wasn't small for any high-grade realm. However, compared to the previous invasion of the Cloudsea Territory, the Hundred Treasures Realm's situation was much better. Last time, the high-grade realms wanted to monopolize the spoils of war. They used their own cultivators to attack the Cloudsea Territory. The Hundred Treasures Realm didn't use the subordinate realms.
However, in this way, the minor worlds were spared from a disaster. The major worlds suffered heavy losses while the minor worlds remained unscathed.
On the other hand, the Hundred Treasures Realm was different. This time, the Hundred Treasures Realm mobilized the majority of the subordinate realms. Because of this, the Hundred Treasures Realm didn't lose a lot of people.
Naturally, all of this was just for the public to know. The Hundred Treasures Realm didn't lose a lot of people, only a few thousand. But in other people's eyes, the Hundred Treasures Realm lost 20 thousand people.
Although the other high-grade realms saw the Hundred Treasures Realm's losses, they were more interested in the whitecloud islands that the Hundred Treasures Realm obtained. That thing was too attractive.
In a short period of time, the high-grade realms began to contact the Hundred Treasures Realm more frequently. Besides some people who inquired about the situation, everyone else wanted to know about the situation in the Cloudsea Territory.
Mu Yao and Zong Ze had been very busy in the past few days. They were busy meeting people from different realms. Usually, they would meet people separately. But today, the two of them were in the conference hall and were meeting someone together.
This person wasn't very tall. He had green skin and thick hair. He looked like a wild beast. However, he was wearing a decent cultivator's robe. Although he looked scary, he had a refined aura that made people confused.
Mu Yao and Zong Ze gave the person a salute and said, "We've seen Mister Sleat. Mister is an expert from the Divergent Realm. It's an honor for the Hundred Treasures Realm to visit the Divergent Realm."
Hearing Mu Yao, Sleat couldn't help but laugh and said, "Elder Mu, Elder Zong is too polite. I'm here on behalf of the Divergent Realm to discuss cooperation with the Hundred Treasures Realm. I don't dare accept your politeness."
Mu Yao invited Sleat to sit down. Inside the conference hall, there were no longer mats like before. Instead, there were white clouds. They were soft and comfortable to sit on.
Sleat looked at the white clouds before slowly sitting down. Then he couldn't help but nod. Then he turned to Mu Yao and Zong Ze and said, "You two really know how to enjoy yourselves. Is this made of transforming clouds? It's really good stuff. "
Mu Yao smiled and said, "Transforming clouds have a lot of uses. If Mister Sleat likes it, we can give some to you."
Sleat didn't decline, he smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite. I came here on orders from the realm to discuss cooperation with the Hundred Treasures Realm."
Mu Yao and Zong Ze looked at each other. Then Zong Ze opened his mouth and said, "How does your realm want to cooperate with us?"
Sleat looked at Mu Yao and Zong Ze and said, "Rest assured, our cooperation this time isn't to deal with the Cloudsea Territory. Instead, it's to deal with the Fireweavers!"
Mu Yao and Zong Ze stared. They thought that Sleat was looking for them because of the Cloudsea Territory. But now it seems like it wasn't the case. It was to deal with the Fireweavers. This happened to coincide with their thoughts.
Seeing the two looking at each other, Sleat thought that they didn't believe him. Sleat immediately said, "You two don't need to doubt our sincerity. In order to deal with the Fireweavers, we've already contacted the Sword Realm. The Sword Realm also gave us a positive answer. In other words, it's not only the Divergent Realm that will deal with the Fireweavers, but also the Sword Realm. If you agree, then the three realms will send troops to deal with the Fireweavers. I believe that the Fireweavers will be eliminated."
Mu Yao and Zong Ze turned silent. Before, they only wanted to contact the Divergent Realm to deal with the Fireweavers. They didn't expect the Sword Realm to join in as well. With this, their chances of success increased. However, it was hard to say if they would be able to obtain Halfbeast Island.
The two looked at each other, then Zong Ze opened his mouth and said, "Mister Sleat, although we have enmity with the Fireweavers, the Hundred Treasures Realm still doesn't have the strength to deal with them. We're very interested in your proposal. But you should know that the Hundred Treasures Realm has lost a lot of people recently. If we fight the Fireweavers, the casualties would be even greater. Therefore, this matter is very difficult."
When Sleat heard Zong Ze, he didn't get angry at all. He understood what Zong Ze meant. Zong Ze's meaning was very clear. It wasn't that they didn't want to send troops, but there should be some benefits for doing so.
Sleat was already prepared for this. He looked at Zong Ze and smiled faintly as he said, "Although the three realms are working together to deal with the Fireweavers, the Hundred Treasures Realm and the Fireweavers aren't enemies. Even if we win, the Hundred Treasures Realm wouldn't benefit. Therefore, it's understandable that the Hundred Treasures Realm doesn't want to send troops. But if the Hundred Treasures Realm sends troops, then the Divergent Realm wouldn't treat you unfairly. After this, we will give you Halfbeast Island as a gift.
What do you think? "Hearing Sleat, Zong Ze and Mu Yao couldn't sit still. Sleat's arrival already surprised them. And now, Sleat's conditions were exactly what they expected. They couldn't figure out why Sleat would make such a proposal.
In fact, Zong Ze and Mu Yao were just overthinking things. For the Divergent Realm, Halfbeast Island was of little value. Although there was a lot of production there, the Beast Race were very arrogant and difficult to manage. Moreover, it was an enclave. There was no use in keeping it in the Divergent Realm.
The people from the Divergent Realm knew what Halfbeast Island meant to the people of the Land of Chaos, especially to the Hundred Treasures Realm. Because of this, the Divergent Realm proposed to use Halfbeast Island in exchange for the Hundred Treasures Realm's troops. Not only would they be throwing away a chicken rib, but they would also gain the upper hand when the Fireweavers are eliminated. This would give them a piece of territory.
Losing an enclave in exchange for a territory that belongs to the Hundred Treasures Realm, this was the reason why the Divergent Realm proposed such a proposal.
Looking at Mu Yao and Zong Ze's expressions, Sleat knew that the two were tempted. He smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to think too much about it. Giving Halfbeast Island to the Hundred Treasures Realm is a decision that the Divergent Realm agreed to. We can even make a written agreement so that no one can go back on their words. But let's be clear, we don't want to affect the relationship between our realms in the future. The Divergent Realm's management of Halfbeast Island hasn't been good these past few years. The Beast Race there aren't very obedient. Even if we hand the island over to the Hundred Treasures Realm, it would still be difficult for the Hundred Treasures Realm to get anything out of it. If the Hundred Treasures Realm doesn't agree to this proposal, then we can discuss it again.
What do you think? "Hearing Sleat, Mu Yao and Zong Ze breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, they were very clear about the situation in Halfbeast Island. The reason why the Beast Race was so lively was because of the Hundred Treasures Realm's instigation and support. Halfbeast Island wasn't far from the Hundred Treasures Realm, so it was impossible for the Hundred Treasures Realm to just let the island be. If they did, then the Divergent Realm might use the island as a springboard to attack the Hundred Treasures Realm. Because of this, the Hundred Treasures Realm has been trying to win over people in Halfbeast Island. From time to time, they would create obstacles for the Divergent Realm. They also supported the Beast Race to fight against the Divergent Realm. Because of this, the Divergent Realm's control over Halfbeast Island wasn't very good. This was also the reason why the Hundred Treasures Realm didn't have much to worry about.
However, these were all done in the open. The Divergent Realm didn't pay enough attention to Halfbeast Island. If the Divergent Realm really wanted to clean up Halfbeast Island, then they would have done so a long time ago. It was precisely because of this that the Hundred Treasures Realm was very interested in taking back Halfbeast Island. After all, it didn't feel good to have a nail in your back.
