196: Luring the world to attack the Jiang family, the fisherman reaps the benefits.
Within the Chaos Void Realm, over a dozen terrifying Divine Thoughts collided in the dead silence, stirring up invisible ripples.
"Bastard! This is too much!"
Nirvana Emperor's Divine Thought transformed into a cold storm, roaring within the Void Realm.
"The heavenly dao golden ranking list—their Jiang Family occupies eleven of the top twenty spots."
Emperor Zangtian's cold will also fluctuated.
"The key is still that Great World; the Origin loss was negligible. What does this mean? The Emperor Immortal Heavenly Dao will bestow boundless Karma, and the Family Luck will skyrocket."
Ancient Emperor Wanlong said indifferently, "Luck doesn't necessarily mean one can attain the Dao."
"Yes! But Luck will undoubtedly cause Prodigies to sprout like bamboo shoots after rain within the Jiang Family, and their cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. With more Prodigies, there will be more Quasi-Emperors."
"With more Quasi-Emperors, there will naturally be more Great Emperors of Alternative Dao Attainment. Once the Jiang Family has a few more Great Emperors, we old fellows hiding in the Life Forbidden Zones might as well just commit suicide!"
"Otherwise, what do you suggest? The Immortal Ascension Road is about to open."
"Immortal Ascension Road! Always the Immortal Ascension Road! Wanlong, can't you come up with another reason!"
"Enough!"
Just as several Ancient Emperors were becoming anxious and almost on the verge of infighting, a Divine Thought carrying a bit of laziness and playfulness drifted over.
"What's all the shouting for? Like a bunch of headless flies, you're truly losing face for our Life Forbidden Zones."
It was Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor of the Primordial Demon Cave.
His Divine Thought transformed into a blurry demonic shadow, watching the other Ancient Emperors at his leisure, as if the rise of the Jiang Family had no impact on him at all.
"Extreme Emotion! Stop making sarcastic remarks here!"
Nirvana Emperor said angrily, "If you hadn't repeatedly dissuaded us and we had acted together when the Jiang Family Great Emperor left, the Jiang Family would have been destroyed long ago!"
"Now it's just great. The Jiang Family's strength is so transcendent. When those Sacred Bodies in his hands achieve Alternative Dao Attainment one by one, the first to suffer will be us Forbidden Zones. Your Primordial Demon Cave won't escape either!"
"Who says we can't escape?"
Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor chuckled, "Why should this Emperor run? If the Jiang Family wants to be the master of this Emperor Immortal Great World, they have to ask if this Emperor agrees."
"What do you mean?" Ancient Emperor Wanlong's Divine Thought moved.
Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor's demonic shadow flickered, his voice carrying a profound meaning: "The Jiang Family is very strong, ridiculously strong, but that is actually their greatest weakness."
"They just annexed a Great World, and the Heavenly Dao is satisfied, so it gives them preferential treatment. If we act against the Jiang Family during this period, we will inevitably be viewed with hostility by the Heavenly Dao."
"Although this hostility and preference won't last forever, it will ultimately affect our combat power."
"But don't forget, the Jiang Family also needs time to digest this harvest. Moreover, do you really think we gained nothing this time?"
"Open your eyes and look closely at the list."
"Of their six Old Ancestors, three have already completely recovered. Do you think they can maintain their Peak state forever? The earlier they recover, the sooner they die. Instead, we should be glad that sacrificing one Cangwu Great World forced three of the Jiang Family's Old Ancestors to fully recover!"
"Then that Fruit Position..."
Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor said disdainfully:
"This Emperor already said, even for the Jiang Family, refining a Fruit Position takes time; it's absolutely impossible to achieve it overnight. And this period is our best time for a counterattack."
"This Emperor has a brilliant plan that can not only test the Jiang Family's true trump cards but also cause their Origin Qi to be greatly damaged."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Divine Thoughts of all the Ancient Emperors focused on him.
"What plan?"
Emperor Zangtian pressed.
Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor said unhurriedly:
"The reason we couldn't intervene and harass the Jiang Family in the Cangwu Great World was mainly because we didn't know its coordinates and were beaten to it by the Jiang Family. But in this endless Chaos, how many Great Worlds are there? This Emperor happens to know the coordinates of a Great World called the Shura Magic World."
"That world is warlike by nature, and the entire population is demonic, famous for 'Demons' and 'Magic'. They have long coveted a place with abundant Spiritual Qi like our Emperor Immortal Great World, but they were hindered by the vastness of the Chaos Void Realm and the lack of coordinates, unable to come."
"What if... we show them the way?"
The Divine Thoughts of several Ancient Emperors shook violently.
"You mean... inviting the wolf into the house?!" Ancient Emperor Wanlong said in shock.
"No."
Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor corrected, "It's driving the tiger to swallow the wolf. We only need to push things along in the shadows and lead that Shura Magic World to the Jiang Family's territory. With the nature of those lunatics from the Shura Magic World, seeing a piece of fat meat like the Jiang Family, how could they not bite?"
He paused, his voice filled with temptation:
"At that time, to protect their spoils and territory, the Jiang Family will inevitably have to go all out, even recovering more Old Ancestors. When they and the Shura Magic World fight until both sides are wounded, we can then reap the benefits as a bystander. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
This plan did indeed sound very tempting.
Using a controllable threat to consume the Jiang Family's strength was much safer than going into battle themselves.
"But what if the Jiang Family calls for friends and allies?"
Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor laughed, "Are we just decorations?"
The Ancient Emperors understood.
Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor's meaning was that if the Jiang Family called for friends and allies to seek help from Great Emperors, they would step forward to stop them.
They wouldn't need to act, or even recover; they just needed to stand there, and that would be immense pressure.
Moreover, thinking from another perspective, no one wanted to see an incredibly powerful Emperor Clan emerge that would always be pressing down on their heads.
With just a little guidance, those forces would give up on helping.
In this way, the Jiang Family could only face a Great World alone, and even if they won, they would inevitably pay a huge price.
Perhaps even a Great Emperor would fall!
"This plan is good, but guiding a Great World and crossing the endless Chaos will surely consume an extremely terrifying amount. With your strength alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish?"
Emperor Zangtian raised the key question.
"That is natural."
Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor was waiting for these words. He spread his hands, "So, I need everyone's full assistance. Opening the guiding array and maintaining the Void Realm channel requires a massive amount of Origin and various Heaven And Earth Treasures. This Emperor can lead this matter, but the resources... everyone must contribute together."
"How much do you need?" Ancient Emperor Wanlong asked in a heavy voice.
Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor was ecstatic in his heart, pretending to think: "Five Ultimate Imperial Weapons, one Immortal Artifact, one billion God Source, one hundred drops of Ancient Emperor Essence Blood, one thousand clusters of Life Essence, and..."
Hearing this, the eyelids of the other Ancient Emperors twitched.
"Extreme Emotion! You are taking advantage of the situation!" Nirvana Emperor shouted angrily.
"Take it or leave it."
Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor took a stance of a dead pig not fearing boiling water, "Anyway, this Emperor is not in a hurry. No matter how strong the Jiang Family is, if they want to bite my Primordial Demon Cave, they'll have to break a few teeth. As for you guys, it's hard to say."
A blatant threat.
Several Ancient Emperors looked at each other in the Void Realm, their Divine Thoughts communicating intensely, and finally chose to compromise.
"Fine, I agree! My Nirvana Sea will provide three Ultimate Imperial Weapons!"
"Myriad Dragon Nest... will provide five drops of Ancient Emperor Essence Blood at most."
"Twenty drops."
Ancient Emperor Wanlong: "...Fine."
"Chaos Ancient Clan will provide one hundred thousand portions of Chaos Origin instead of God Source."
"Acceptable."
Divine Thoughts collided in the Void Realm.
A moment later, forty percent of the conditions proposed by Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor were met, with each of the five major Life Forbidden Zones besides the Primordial Demon Cave bearing a portion.
"Rest assured, this Emperor's credibility is as solid as divine iron."
Extreme Emotion Demon Emperor guaranteed solemnly, but his heart was already blooming with joy.
A bunch of old fools. Once the resources are in hand, I'll first live out my Fifth Life.
As for that Shura Magic World, there's no need to give them resources at all.
He knew that this Great World had a very high sense of aggression and possessed the means to move a Great World. Relying on this, they had led the Shura Magic World to annex many Great Worlds.
