Chapter 456: Chapter 84 Revenue Sharing 73 Percent (1/3)

Four Demons Metamorphosis and Annihilation, three clusters of Mysterious Primordial Qi converged into An Jing’s hand.

"Now I won’t lack the resources to swiftly enhance my strength... The question is, should I continue to condense the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, or should I attempt to condense the Divine Abnormality?"

An Jing fell into a blissful dilemma.

A cluster of Mysterious Primordial Qi would allow An Jing to advance the progress of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban by one and a half prohibitions. Now that he had completed the second prohibition and had just started the Third Prohibition, if all this Mysterious Primordial Qi were used to advance the progress of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, it would propel him directly to around the high stages of Qi Refinement of the Seventh Prohibition.

In the Tianyuan Realm, the high stage of Qi Refinement is the second watershed after ’Spirit Awakening and Qi Refinement,’ where the vast majority of Qi Refinement cultivators are stuck before the sixth layer, unable to make any progress. Only some lucky ones who obtain genuine Spirit Stones or those who are truly gifted geniuses can be exceptions.

But An Jing’s soul had already been strengthened by the Grasping Heavenly Moment, so he didn’t need the Breath of Pure Spiritual Essence to refine his Divine Sense, hence he had no bottleneck.

However, precisely because condensing the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban was not much of a challenge for An Jing, it would be better to condense the more difficult Divine Abnormality than to enhance it.

"No need to rush, Mysterious Primordial Qi is a solid currency needed for everything. Keeping it stored up will definitely not be a loss."

Suppressing the impulse to seclude himself for a breakthrough on the spot, An Jing cleaned up the battlefield, collected the remnants left by the Demon Shedding, and then first returned to the base of the mountain to communicate with Weng Cuiyu.

[Who would have thought that there truly was such a powerful Demon Shedding on the mountain, and indeed, it was left by General Shuo.]

The ancient Tree Spirit of Broken Blade Mountain spoke with a complex tone, and An Jing could feel its focus on the surroundings of Broken Blade Peak, not even seeking a share of the Mysterious Primordial Qi: [Moreover, if nothing goes wrong, the General has no intention of returning.]

"Why do you say so?"

An Jing, out of curiosity, asked, and Weng Cuiyu let out a long sigh, much like the wind passing through the treetops: [The Demon Shedding has a peculiar connection with its original body, akin to an avatar. If a Demon Shedding is destroyed near its original master, the Demonic Qi shed will return to the master’s body.]

[The General left its Demon Shedding here, which means it definitely won’t be coming back, and this remains true even if you, Lord An, destroyed these Demon Shedding. It has never once considered the Demon Spirits that remained on Broken Blade Mountain.]

At this point, it showed signs of discontent: [We must report the General’s actions to the Prefecture Government, and bitterly present a formal complaint!]

An Jing did not expect Weng Cuiyu to have this kind of attitude. He thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "So, are you not going into hibernation?"

[Ha.]

Weng Cuiyu laughed: [The General is not coming back, why should we hibernate? You must understand, the beasts of Broken Blade Mountain have all left; only we have stood firm. Together with you, Lord An, we eliminated the Demon Shedding.]

[With such merit... what do you think, how will the Prefecture Government in the domain commend us?]

——So it wants to be the new General.

An Jing suddenly understood; no wonder Weng Cuiyu’s attitude had turned one hundred eighty degrees. Besides seeing the credence letter from the Virtuous King, Weng Cuiyu must have also realized that this was its chance.

The original General of Broken Blade Mountain, Shuo Yueying, had abandoned his responsibilities and left, and the other Mountain Masters who could have competed with it had also mostly left to avoid the Frost Calamity.

If so, then who else but it could take up the position of the new Broken Blade General?

"Since that’s the case..."

An Jing probably understood Weng Cuiyu’s thoughts, as well as why the other didn’t ask for a share of the Mysterious Primordial Qi that rightfully belonged to it. After pondering for a moment, he said in earnest, "I wonder if Weng Shenjun would be willing to take on the role of Broken Blade Mountain Demon General for the sake of the many lives on Broken Blade Mountain?"

"Broken Blade Mountain cannot be without a master for a day. Now that the Mountain Masters have left and the Demon General is nowhere to be found, I implore you not to decline, Weng Shenjun!"

As the ’City Lord of Linjiang City’ recognized by a personal letter from the Virtuous King, An Jing’s invitation undoubtedly had a note of legitimacy, and Weng Cuiyu, who had been waiting for An Jing to offer this himself, immediately rejoiced. The entire Forest Sea was boisterous, as if laughing: [Your kind offer is hard to refuse! Indeed, even for the sake of the beings left in the Broken Blade Mountain Range, I must temporarily take on this responsibility!]

——Although eager to become an official, the heart of the Demon Spirit is quite understandable.

An Jing smiled inwardly. Without showing his thoughts, he continued, "Then I entrust Broken Blade Mountain Range to you, Weng Shenjun—however, about this Blessed Land and Spirit Field..."

[Haha, the Primordial Spirit Cave, the hub of the Earth Pulse, is naturally not something we should meddle in.]

Hearing An Jing’s words, Weng Cuiyu also replied very tactfully: [Since the situation of General Shuo Yueying is unclear, it should naturally be left to be dealt with by the Town King and the Virtuous King of the Northern Border. Lord An, you have connections with the Virtuous King and are the chief merit maker in eliminating the Demon Shedding. Therefore, it would be best to entrust the Primordial Spirit Cave to you for now. We will not interfere.]

"As for the blessed land and those many spirit fields, they are personal properties of the mountain masters; however, we simply cannot bear to sit idly by and watch those adorable spirit plants be frozen to death by the Frost Calamity... Thus, we will take care of those spirit fields, and how about you, Lord An, provide some more of that spirit fertilizer that can accelerate the maturity of the spirit plants?"

"Should there be a harvest, we can split the profit with you—seventy to thirty... no, sixty to forty!"

An Jing could tell, though Weng Cuiyu verbally insisted on sharing evenly with Shuo Yueying, in reality, it was cautiously leaving room for maneuver.

It did not involve itself in the core interests of the entire Broken Blade Mountain Range, the heartland of which was clearly a matter for the influential An Jing to devour like a piece of fat meat, stepping into the biggest pit.

For the spirit fields, which hold less legacy and controversy, it chose to split the profits with An Jing seventy-thirty—whatever the division might be, there was certainly room for negotiation.

Essentially, this meant that both parties were collaborating to divide up the most valuable assets of the whole Broken Blade Mountain Range.

Moreover, it had its eyes on An Jing’s fertilizer... insightful!

Just as Snow Climbing Tooth recognized that the Evergreen Wood An Jing gave it was an opportunity for further advancement, to break through to a Divine Repository, Weng Cuiyu also realized that the fertilizer An Jing purchased was quite extraordinary.

Weng Cuiyu was a collective of many tree spirits, always referring to itself as "we". For such a demon spirit to achieve the status of a Divine Repository, it must literally "transform body into a small world", that is, to use the entire forest sea as a Great Formation to create a blessed land, a small Cave Heaven.

With the many tree spirits constantly emerging and waning, it was difficult to seize the prime moment of perfection; but with the spirit fertilizer, Weng Cuiyu could rely on it for self-regulation, better seizing the opportunity to craft the blessed land of the forest sea.

In truth, this matter was not difficult and did not require spirit fertilizer.

Since Broken Blade Mountain already boasted the unique topography of a Ten Directional Furnace, if Weng Cuiyu could comprehend and advance through it, it would naturally become a Divine Repository demon spirit, the King of the Forest Sea of Broken Blade Mountain Range.

Theoretically, this is the most common "Broken Blade Mountain Demon King".

But in reality, Weng Cuiyu was merely one of the many mountain masters of Broken Blade Mountain, and it seemed to be different from those animal mountain masters.

Furthermore, An Jing could acutely sense a whiff of oppression.

Because, in the blessed lands, none of those spirit fields were Weng Cuiyu’s share; its power could only reach the fringes of the blessed land, never penetrating even a fraction of it.

No wonder, then—the demon spirits from the animal lineage as Demon Division Generals and those from the plant lineage as Demon Division Generals surely differed vastly.

Since most of the mountain masters of Broken Blade Mountain were animals, it was basically impossible for Weng Cuiyu to have the opportunity to achieve a Divine Repository.

If it were not for the Frost Calamity, Weng Cuiyu would probably remain forever just a great demon spirit at the pinnacle of Martial Meridian.

The cores of its Forest Sea Great Formation would occasionally be gnawed and damaged by animal demon spirits, while the spirit veins outlined by it in the mountain range would be siphoned away by the blessed land.

This desolate future of never being able to advance further is why only a tree can maintain its composure, patiently waiting—had it been a human, it would have exploded in conflict with the other demon spirits long ago.

But Weng Cuiyu eventually did wait for the Frost Calamity.

The Frost Calamity made it enter forced hibernation, staying in its old Broken Blade homeland. Yet, it was also a fortuitous heavenly moment for defying fate... An Jing was its opportunity, and Weng Cuiyu grasped this point accurately.

Now, it could not only co-manage the blessed land with An Jing but could also acquire spirit fertilizer from him... all the obstacles to its Divine Repository achievement were cleared.

"I have no objections."

An Jing, seeing through all of Weng Cuiyu’s thoughts, did not mind letting the other party have its way, but he also aimed to gain some benefits from it.

"For the harvest of the spirit fields, sixty-forty in your favor is fine, or even seventy-thirty."

An Jing said, "But in return, I want the complete set of spirit plant seeds from within the blessed land’s spirit fields and the method for constructing a demon spirit’s spirit fields."

"Oh? So generous?"

Weng Cuiyu appeared surprised at An Jing’s demand: "The seeds might not survive, and the stringent requirements for planting spirit plants are beyond your imagination, especially in our demon spirit’s spirit fields, which necessitate profound understanding of the demon spirit’s path."

"To be frank, Lord An, in light of your sincerity, we are willing to split fifty-fifty. You don’t need to endure this loss."
