Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 348 The Demon Clan’s Plot
Becoming stronger requires resources, and even though the world has begun to recover, it is still far from its peak. So overall, resources are still scarce.

Therefore, in this era of world decline, if you want to obtain sufficient resources, you must do something fancy, such as trying every possible way to obtain the legacy of the predecessors.

The legacy of our predecessors is the greatest resource, and it is ready-made and does not need to be refined. As long as we can obtain it, we can at least save a million years of hard practice.

Especially for a strong man like Emperor Xi, if one could inherit his legacy, it would be possible to reach the top in one step.

It can only be said that the collapse of heaven and earth has its benefits. If it weren't for the collapse of heaven and earth, which caused the death of many powerful people, how could there be so many ready-made resources in the world, waiting for cultivators to pick up.

To put it another way, the death of a large number of powerful people gave some of their descendants the opportunity to rise to the top overnight. Picking up their legacy can make you rich overnight, just like exploding gold coins.

"Since the Prime Minister asked, I dare not hide anything. I got this news by accident, and it was said by the Demon Saint Bai Ze himself, so it cannot be false."

The nine-tailed fox first stated the source of the news to emphasize the accuracy of what she said, and then stated the specific content of the news.

"During the final battle between the witches and the liches, a great battle broke out between Emperor Xi and the ancestor witch Zhu Jiuyin in the eastern sky. Zhu Jiuyin was defeated and blew himself up in anger, perishing together with Emperor Xi."

"From then on, the sky fell and shattered into countless pieces, sinking into the depths of the void and disappearing. The place where Emperor Xi died disappeared along with these pieces."

"After the war, the powerful demons, led by Bai Ze the Demon Saint, also tried to find the whereabouts of Emperor Xi's death, but they never found anything."

"For this reason, the demon saints were planning to give up, but what was unexpected was that just when the Emperor of Heaven became enlightened, the Emperor of Xi, who had disappeared for many years, suddenly responded to the place where he fell, and the demon saints captured some traces of him."

"Since then, the demon saints have been following these clues, constantly searching for the whereabouts of Emperor Xi's death in the vast void."

"During this period, we have gained more and more. Recently, we have even determined the final whereabouts of Emperor Xi's death. It is at the edge of Guixu and is about to sink into it."

The nine-tailed fox spoke excitedly, as if she was talking about something very important. Well, if what she said was true, then this was indeed a very important event.

"Is it near Guixu?"

"Logically, it does make some sense."

Ao Bing carefully analyzed it for a while, but did not find any loopholes in the Nine-tailed Fox's words. The place where Emperor Xi fell must be a fragment of the sky, and it must be a larger piece.

As we all know, Guixu is the cemetery of the world, and the final fate of all broken worlds will be to sink into Guixu.

If the place where Emperor Xi fell had not been discovered, then no matter where it drifted to, it would slowly approach Guixu under the attraction until it fell into it.

Therefore, logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with the fact that Emperor Xi died near Guixu.

What the nine-tailed fox said is most likely true. The demon clan may have really found the place where Emperor Xi died, and it is near Guixu.

The question is how such secret information was known by the nine-tailed fox.

He is the Demon Saint, a powerful quasi-saint level being. If he really wants to keep it secret, even if the Nine-tailed Fox is a hundred times stronger, it is impossible to get any information from him.

After all, the Nine-tailed Fox herself said that her lineage was the target of oppression in the demon clan. She was not even considered a middle-level figure and had no access to secrets of this level.

So how did she know the news?
There is only one answer, that is the Demon Saint did it on purpose, and deliberately used the Nine-tailed Fox to pass this news to the human race.

Ao Bing had two guesses as to why Bai Ze did this. One was to gain the trust of the human race so that the nine-tailed fox could successfully infiltrate the human race.

Secondly, there is probably some danger at the place where Emperor Xi fell, which the demon race cannot solve for the time being with their strength, so they want the human race to help step on the mines and eliminate the hidden dangers for the demon race.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
If not for this, the demons would have rushed to excavate the place where Emperor Xi fell after finding it. How could they have waited until now to refrain from taking action?

It can only be that there was a problem with the place where Emperor Xi fell, leaving the demon clan helpless, so they thought of borrowing the help of outsiders to let the human race eliminate the risk for them.

In this way, the human race can be weakened in strength, while the legacy of Emperor Xi can be obtained without any loss. For the demon race, it is a win-win situation!

"The princess's methods are really brilliant. Even the Demon Saint has your people around him. I really admire you!"

After taking a deep look at the nine-tailed fox, Ao Bing praised with a smile.

Now he was even more certain that the Nine-Tailed Fox's betrayal of the demon race was a lie, and that she had infiltrated the human race on the orders of the Demon Saint. The news of Emperor Xi's death was the token of loyalty given to her by the Demon Saint to gain the trust of the human race.

This news sounds very precious and extremely important to the demon clan, but on second thought, if the demon clan does not have the ability to enter, then what difference does this news make to no news?

It would be better to tell the human race about it and let the human race be the pioneer of the demon race. Only in this way can it play its value.

In fact, even if there was no incident with the nine-tailed fox, the demon race would probably find a way to pass the news of Emperor Xi's death to the human race.

"Prime Minister, you are joking. This just proves that my fox clan is not a threat in the eyes of the demon saint. There is no need to hide it."

Feeling as if he had been seen through, the nine-tailed fox forced a smile.

"Well, Concubine Chun, you have worked hard. Go back and rest. I will tell you in detail after I verify the truth of this matter."

"You know, if this is true, the human race will naturally meet your request. On the contrary, if you deliberately deceive, you also know the consequences."

"If we can't destroy the remnants of the demon clan, can we still destroy the fox clan?"

Waving his hand, Ao Bing let the nine-tailed fox leave. He said that he had important matters to discuss with Emperor Xin and it was inconvenient for her to be present.

"My beloved, please leave first!"

The nine-tailed fox turned her head to look at Emperor Xin, and saw him nodded, indicating that she could leave.

Seeing this, the nine-tailed fox bowed to the two of them and left quickly.

"What do you think, Prime Minister? My beloved concubine is really sincere. Emperor Xi is the previous life of the Emperor of Heaven, the most powerful person under the Saint."

"If I can obtain his legacy, not only will it greatly dampen the arrogance of the remnants of the demon race, but it will also allow my Shang Dynasty to restore the glory of the ancient human race."

As soon as the nine-tailed fox left, Emperor Xin couldn't wait to speak. He wanted to be the greatest emperor of all time. Who wouldn't want to be an emperor like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?

And now, there is such an opportunity before him. As long as he gets the legacy of Emperor Xi, even if he cannot become an emperor comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he can become a Saint King second only to them.

"It makes you stupid!"

"Your Majesty is confused!"

"Even if what the demon fox said is true, it is still a conspiracy of the demon clan."

“Your Majesty, don’t forget what Guixu is. It is the cemetery of the universe and the graveyard of the world. Even if a great master is trapped in it, there is a risk of death.”

"Although the place where Emperor Xi fell was not inside Guixu, but on the edge of Guixu, it is still extremely dangerous. Even the Golden Immortals have to be very careful when entering it." "If you are not careful, you will be sucked into Guixu, and millions of years of hard work will be gone in an instant."

"Also, Your Majesty, you must have forgotten that Guixu is located deep in the North Sea. And the North Sea is the territory of Demon Master Kunpeng."

"The Beihai Kingdom, which has always been an enemy of our Great Shang and is now being attacked by the Grand Master, is under the command of the Demon Master Kunpeng."

"It can be said that Demon Master Kunpeng is the great enemy of the human race. At the same time, Demon Master Kunpeng is a traitor to the demon race and also its great enemy."

"The demons dream of us fighting each other. It would be best if both sides were defeated. This way they can benefit from it and kill two powerful enemies in one fell swoop."

"So, this is most likely a conspiracy by the demon clan, deliberately intensifying the conflict between us and Demon Master Kunpeng, so as to force us to fight to the death."

Seeing Emperor Xin like this, Ao Bing couldn't help but sigh. Even if this news was true, it would still be extremely difficult for the Shang Dynasty to obtain the legacy of Emperor Xi.

Because there is a tyrant in the North Sea, named Kunpeng Patriarch. He is the common enemy of the human race and the demon race. It is extremely difficult for both the demon race and the human race to bypass him and go to Guixu.

"Does that mean this is false?"

Hearing this, Emperor Xin was greatly disappointed and asked somewhat unwillingly.

"maybe."

"Leave this matter to me. I have some connections with the Black Turtle Clan, and it will be more convenient for me to go to Beiming Guixu than for you, the king."

Ao Bing didn't know what Emperor Xin was disappointed about. Was he disappointed that the nine-tailed fox had lied to him, or that the news was fake, or both.

But Ao Bing would not lie to him. He would find out whether the news was true or not by asking someone to try it out.

Although Kunpeng is the overlord of the North Sea, he is not the only overlord of the North Sea. Before him, there was another overlord of the North Sea, the northern sacred beast Xuanwu.

The sacred beast Xuanwu was just sealed, not dead. The westernmost place guarded by him was in the North Sea and not far from Guixu.

In other words, it is difficult for humans and demons to bypass Kunpeng and get close to Guixu, but Ao Bing, who has a close relationship with the Black Turtle clan, can.

No matter how powerful Ancestor Kunpeng is, he has to give some face to the Xuanwu clan.

Otherwise, if the Xuanwu clan was forced into a corner and joined forces with the Dragon clan and Zhen Yuanzi to attack him, then no matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to escape death.

As we all know, because of Hongyun's death, Kunpeng and Zhenyuanzi became enemies. And his strength is slightly inferior to Zhenyuanzi.

The reason why Zhen Yuanzi failed to kill him was mainly because he hid in the North Sea and did not come out. Relying on the local advantage, Zhen Yuanzi was no match for Kunpeng Patriarch in the North Sea.

But once they left the North Sea, the result was completely reversed. Ancestor Kunpeng was no match for Zhen Yuanzi.

Only by hiding in the North Sea can he contend with Zhen Yuanzi. It can be said that the North Sea is the greatest reliance of Kunpeng Patriarch. In this case, he certainly did not dare to turn against the other overlord of the North Sea, the Xuanwu Clan.

Otherwise, once the Xuanwu tribe joined forces with Zhen Yuanzi, his greatest reliance, the local advantage, would be gone. At this time, if the Dragon tribe intervened again, he would basically be doomed.

Therefore, as long as you can establish a relationship with the Xuanwu clan, you can walk all over the North Sea, but at least you don’t have to worry too much about the North Sea monster clan.

The Xuanwu clan has been on good terms with the Dragon clan since ancient times. As members of the same water clan, they are allies with shared destiny, and their relationship couldn't be better.

As a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon, if Ao Bing goes to the North Sea, he will be the most distinguished guest of the Xuanwu clan and there is no need to worry about Kunpeng at all.

"Yes, there is already a branch of the Dragon Clan in the North Sea, and the Xuanwu Clan, the overlord of the North Sea, is on good terms with the Dragon Clan. It is indeed more convenient for the Prime Minister to go to the North Sea to investigate this matter."

Thinking of Ao Bing's advantages, Emperor Xin said with some envy.

Although he has a high position, his power is limited. Outside of Jiuzhou, he is basically useless. Unlike Ao Bing, his influence reaches all over the world.

You can find connections with Guixu.

"My lord, now that Tongtian Lake is recovering, it is the critical moment for Dashang to accumulate strength. Therefore, everything must be based on stability."

"It's better not to let the previous incident happen again. If we really force Duke Dongbo to rebel, the good situation we have worked so hard to create will be ruined in an instant!"

After finishing the business, thinking about Emperor Xin's recent actions, Ao Bing gave some advice regardless of whether it was useful or not.

If what happened to Queen Jiang happened a few more times, the Shang Dynasty would really be doomed.

If the four great dukes were separated, none of them would be a match for the Shang Dynasty. But if two of them were joined together, it would be hard to say. If three of them were to attack together, the Shang Dynasty would surely be defeated.

If all four rebelled, Emperor Xin could simply announce his abdication.

"I overreacted. The Prime Minister said that we should be tolerant for the sake of the country. For the sake of Da Shang, it's okay for me to suffer a little."

Emperor Xin nodded, indicating that he had learned his lesson and would not make the same mistake again.

"It's good for the king to know. No matter how good Concubine Chun is, she is also a fox demon. Even if she has children, the son of a demon is not qualified to inherit the throne."

"After the king passes away, the throne will eventually be inherited by the queen's son. Even if it is only for this reason, please treat the queen and her descendants well."

"If Your Majesty wants to be a role model for all eternity, the rule of enthroning the eldest son as the heir must not change."

Sighing, Ao Bing advised earnestly.

He, Emperor Xin, didn't have a hundred sons. How could he, who only had two sons, dare to fall out with them? Did he really not care about the future? The human king could only live long, not immortal!
"Haha, I'm sorry to make you laugh, Prime Minister."

Emperor Xin was speechless and smiled awkwardly. Thinking back on it now, he still felt scared.

The only two heirs had both run away. If he could still have children in the future, it would be fine. If not, then it would be a big trouble.

The greatest sin for an emperor is to have no children!
"As for the matter of the Chan Sect, since they have already publicly broken up with our Great Shang, there is no need for us to be polite to them."

"Please issue an order to strictly prohibit the princes from having any contact with the Chan Sect. Once discovered, no matter who they are, they will be regarded as treason."

After talking about Emperor Xin, Ao Bing talked about the Chan Sect. Now that things have come to this point, there is no dispute about right or wrong. The most important thing now is to eliminate future troubles.

"What do you mean by this, Prime Minister? After all, Chanjiao is the sage's teaching. Banning it from preaching is already the limit. If we restrict the princes from interacting with it, I'm afraid the princes will not agree."

Emperor Xin frowned and asked, the disadvantage of the feudal system is that power is not concentrated and involves all the princes. The words of the common ruler of the world may not be effective.
