In the void, the Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Dao chatted for a long time.
When Huang Xiaolong returned to the Heavenly Saint Temple, he learned that the three Heavenly Emperors had returned to recuperate.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao didn't allow him to destroy them. He still needed to keep them alive to contact the Immortal Spirits.
Ever since the end of the Primordial Era, their connection with the Celestial Spirits had never been severed.
The Demon Sovereign could exert pressure on them, causing them to continuously attract immortal spirits to their deaths.
He used the corpses of the Immortal Spirits and Primal Chaos Beasts to make up for the Heavenly Realm's losses all these years.
Only when the number of Immortal Spirits that perished was sufficient would the Heavenly Dao truly give out the Primordial Violet Aura.
Even if they chose the only Heavenly Emperor in advance, the Heavenly Dao would make the Heavenly Emperor kill enough immortal essences and chaos beasts before the Heavenly Emperor could attain Dao.
As for the other immortals and gods, the Heavenly Dao could only try its best to prevent the three Celestial Emperors from undergoing mutations.
The struggle between the three Sky Emperors also changed into another way. Either there was only one left, or they broke through the Holy Land and killed the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor could only accept this because the Heaven's Dao had given him a price that he couldn't refuse.
Every time he killed a batch of immortal spirits, the Heavenly Dao would give him an extra amount of heaven's power as a reward.
Now that the Heavenly Dao was incomplete, it couldn't do anything to him, but he also couldn't do anything to the Heavenly Dao.
Both sides could only make use of each other to see if the Heavenly Dao would recover first, or if the main body would prove the Dao first.
If the cooperation went well, they could carve out a piece of land in the future so that the Holy Land could continue to exist. However, the prerequisite was that the Celestial Thearch agreed to it.
As the Demon Sovereign digested this information, the void in front of him changed.
The seven-colored ball of light, the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, was deceiving the three Celestial Emperors.
In order to express the sincerity of cooperation, the Heavenly Dao allowed him to pry.
"Hao Tian left and the Heavenly Path Saint left, leaving behind many divine artifacts."
The colorful ball of light said coldly, "You lack the Divine Artifact now. Find a way to get it back."
The Heavenly Dao light ball disappeared, and the three Heavenly Emperors looked solemn.
The Heavenly Dao had gathered them together, giving them a chance to continue discussing the next step of the plan.
In the previous battle, the Heavenly Dao had already helped him greatly by suppressing two Saint artifacts. However, he did not expect that the Demon Sovereign would have another Saint artifact in his hands.
"If you want to retrieve the saint artifact, you have to contact that person from the Heavenly Court," said the Demon Emperor in a deep voice.
The Heavenly Emperor of the Immortal Court said with a gloomy expression, "Donghuang Changyue's consent is required as well."
They had Sage artifact fragments in their hands. Although the Demon Sovereign had lost the Chaos Bell fragment, he still had the Pangu Banner and the Demon Spear fragment.
Sun Li and Sun Qing also had Saint artifact fragments.
Only when all these fragments were gathered together and combined with a special method could they open the Ancient Era's treasure trove, allowing all the sacred tools to return to the Heaven Realm.
"With our status, we can at least possess a saint artifact!" The Divine Court Heavenly Emperor said.
This was the guarantee given to them by the Heavenly Dao!
As long as they opened the treasure vault and brought back the complete sacred tool, they would at least be able to get one.
If he was lucky, he might get two of them.
If the three of them had a Saint Artifact, they might not be able to match up to the Demon Emperor, but they would at least have some confidence.
The Demon Thearch pondered. "I have decided to take out the Sage artifact."
"That's fine." The two Celestial Emperors said, "However, how do we contact that person from the Heavenly Court?"
"The two of you don't have any ideas?" The Demon Thearch smiled faintly.
That person in the Heavenly Court couldn't even find the Mountain and River Map. Clearly, he had left the Heavenly Realm.
If he left the Heaven Realm, where else could he go?
He could only look for immortal spirits and wait for an opportunity to rise again!
"Leave Donghuang Changyue's side to the Demon Emperor, and leave the Heavenly Court's side to us. How about it?" The Immortal Court's Heavenly Emperor pondered and said.
The Demon Thearch said coldly, "Alright, I will go look for my good second brother now!"
After the discussion, the void inside the Heavenly Saint Temple rippled, and the image disappeared.
A seven-colored light ball appeared. "It's your turn now."
"I agree." The Demon Thearch said indifferently, "I just hope that the Heavenly Dao won't make a fool out of me."
"The Heavenly Dao only focuses on the Heavenly World's development." The seven-colored light ball said coldly, "You have another choice. You can choose to become a Saint, and everything in the holy land can be realized."
"Oh? What choice? "The Demon Thearch's interest was piqued.
"Merge with the Dao."
"Forget it."
The Demon Thearch waved his hand. He had never considered merging with the Dao.
If he succeeded in merging with the Dao, he might not even exist in the end.
After the Heavenly Dao left, the Demon Thearch opened the Heavenly Saint Temple and waited for the Demon Thearch to arrive.
A quarter of an hour later, the sun rose, and divine flames filled the sky. The Demon Thearch had arrived in the holy land.
"My good second brother, I have come to see you."
The Demon Thearch landed in front of the Heavenly Saint Temple.
The Demon Thearch said indifferently, "The Demon Thearch is here. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"You are really cruel." The Demon Thearch sighed and stepped into the Heavenly Saint Temple. "I came here today to admit my mistake."
"Admit your mistake?" The corner of the Demon Thearch's mouth curved into a mocking smile. "A dignified Demon Thearch will admit his mistake?"
"Previously, I was bewitched by the immortal spirit, which was why I expelled Second Brother from the Demon Court. Now that I have sobered up, I have come to invite Second Brother to return to the Demon Court. "
The Demon Thearch's expression was sincere. He bowed down and pulled a long face.
The Demon Thearch waved his hand and said, "Demon Thearch, don't act like this. It will only make me look down on you."
The Demon Thearch straightened his body. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he hid it well. "Fine, I will come to make a deal with you."
"What does the Demon Thearch want to trade?" The Demon Thearch asked indifferently.
The Demon Thearch said, "The holy land. If I become the Heavenly Emperor, the holy land will be safe."
"That is not enough. With me here, no one can touch the holy land!" The Demon Thearch said confidently.
The Demon Thearch sneered in his heart. With you here, the holy land will be safe?
Once I get the holy artifact, break the holy land, and kill you, I will be able to become a saint. At that time, even if your main body comes out, you won't be able to withstand a single blow!
The Heavenly Dao only asked them to kill the Demon Thearch. It didn't ask them to kill Jiang Changkong.
"Then what if I add this?" The Demon Thearch took out a crystal that emitted dense blood energy.
The Demon Thearch's eyes focused. He felt a trace of Pangu's aura from this crystal. It was similar to the one he got on Buzhou Mountain.
However, this one was smaller, only the size of a thumb. Its aura was also weaker.
The Demon Thearch thought deeply and said, "What do you want to trade?"
"The holy artifact fragment and the method to open it." The Demon Thearch said.
The Demon Thearch's expression became serious. "I see. This is not enough to take out the holy artifact."
"Donghuang Zhangyue, don't push your luck. This crystal is of great help to you. It might allow you to improve further!" The Demon Thearch said angrily.
The Demon Thearch sneered. "Don't think that I don't know what you are planning. With the holy artifact, who knows what you will do."
The Demon Thearch's expression was gloomy. Everyone knew about this.
"What else do you want?" The Demon Thearch gritted his teeth.
"Top seventh-grade celestial stones. No less than a million." The Demon Thearch said.
"Such a big appetite. Even the entire Heaven Realm might not have that much!"
The Demon Thearch was furious. Extortion was one thing, but the Demon Thearch wanted it so much. Even the three courts couldn't take it out.
"That is for you to consider. I don't need any holy artifact, nor do I need your crystal." The Demon Thearch said indifferently.
"You …"
"Wait for the Demon Thearch to bring the celestial stones. Then come and talk to me."
The Demon Thearch waved his hand. Abundant divine power and dao might swept the Demon Thearch away.
"Hmph!"
The Demon Thearch snorted coldly. He didn't say anything and left dejectedly.
He couldn't beat the Demon Thearch now. He could only follow the trade. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take out the holy artifact.
