Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

If Jiang Yuan doesn't break through to the Celestial Immortal realm, how can Mu Jiao harvest the exotic fruit and transform into a Primordial God-Demon?

But how can you expect exotic fruits to mature ahead of time without paying a price? You'll definitely have to invest a lot of precious resources.

Jiang Yuan hadn't thought of this before because he hadn't quite grasped the concept. Now, after seeing Mu Jiao, he suddenly remembered that besides the Xuan Shan Clan, he could also collect the essence blood of the Nine Sons through Mu Jiao.

This is the person who cares about him the most!

Asking Mu Jiao for help requires no effort whatsoever; mere words are enough.

Moreover, given Mu Jiao's status and position, having him collect the essence blood of the Nine Sons would certainly be far more efficient than that of the Xuan Shan Clan.

"The essence of nine sons? No problem."

"I don't want your savings. Just consider it a loan. When you achieve success in your spiritual practice, you can repay me double."

Mu Jiao's heart tightened, but he pretended to be relaxed.

Collecting the essence blood of the Nine Sons was not difficult for him, but the problem was, what kind of Daoist scripture did Jiang Yuan cultivate that required the essence blood of the Nine Sons, and in large quantities, to break through his realm?

This is no small matter. The essence blood of the nine sons can be fused into one, which can restore a portion of the essence blood of the Ancestral Dragon. Since Jiang Yuan needs to use this item to break through, it is obvious that his combat power will be extremely amazing after he successfully breaks through, and he can be the most powerful among those in the same realm.

Could this be a good thing for him? The stronger Jiang Yuan becomes, the easier it is for him to lose control. If he, who cultivates exotic fruits, were to be killed by the fruits he cultivates, that would be ridiculous.

However, it shouldn't be a big problem. Thinking of his cultivation level as a sixth-level Celestial Immortal, Mu Jiao calmed down again.

Even if Jiang Yuan successfully breaks through and becomes the strongest in his realm, so what? According to the latest research of the Xuanmen, the Celestial Immortal realm should be divided into three realms: Celestial Immortal, Profound Immortal, and Golden Immortal.

The first four heavens are for celestial immortals, the middle four heavens are for mystical immortals, and the last four heavens are for golden immortals.

His cultivation level was at the sixth level of the Celestial Immortal realm, which was exactly the mid-stage of the Profound Immortal realm. Even if Jiang Yuan cultivated to become a Celestial Immortal, he would still be a whole realm higher than him.

Even if someone is the strongest in their own realm, they can only be the strongest in their own realm. How could they possibly cross a whole realm and defeat him?

You must know that Mu Jiao is also a prodigy, a top expert in his realm, not an ordinary celestial being. Who could cross realms to defeat him?

After this mental preparation, Mu Jiao became even calmer. He then bid farewell to the two and returned to the Dragon Palace to collect the essence blood of the nine sons for Jiang Yuan.

"I get the feeling that he cares about you more than you do yourself."

Looking in the direction Mu Jiao had left, Xuan Shan said in a strange tone.

"That's because he's already treating me as his possession. Everything he's doing now, supposedly for me, is actually for himself, which is why he's so concerned."

Jiang Yuan scoffed, his tone mocking. Greed knows no bounds; Mu Jiao deserved to be treated like a sucker, squeezed dry of all his value.

"People really shouldn't be too greedy. Once greed takes hold, the mind becomes uncontrollable, and one's actions become incomprehensible."

"The words left by our ancestors, which teach us to restrain our greed, are not without reason."

Xuan Shan was speechless. It was truly a case of greed clouding one's judgment. Mu Jiao used to be quite clear-headed, but now he had become like this, hopelessly stupid.

Jiang Yuan smiled but didn't say anything. It wasn't that Mu Jiao was stupid, but rather that he was under the influence of a brain-depleting aura, so no matter how intelligent he was, it was useless.

Do you really think Jiang Yuan's accumulated merits are fake? If you dare to scheme against him, your IQ will drop to zero.

Indeed, merit is so mysterious. It can not only improve cultivation, refine magic weapons, enhance fortune, and protect the primordial spirit, but also reduce the intelligence of enemies, causing them to make mistakes repeatedly.

Otherwise, why would people so highly praise merit? It's all virtues, with no flaws.

"Now that Mu Jiao is helping you, do you still need to continue with the task you asked me to help you collect the essence blood of the Nine Sons?"

Coming to his senses, Xuanshan asked Jiang Yuan.

"I need it, not just the essence blood of the nine sons, but also the essence blood of the true dragon. I want as much as you have."

You can't put all your eggs in one basket. No matter what, Mu Jiao isn't one of our own, so Jiang Yuan has to be wary of him.

"Alright then."

Xuan Shan nodded and prepared to leave for the Dragon Palace to help Jiang Yuan.

As for whether Jiang Yuan will overplay his hand and end up dying tragically at Mu Jiao's hands, that's impossible.

Xuanshan knew that Mu Jiao's father, Mu Longbo, would not protect him forever, but Suizu would protect him until Jiang Yuan grew up.

With the support of the Sui Ancestor, how could Jiang Yuan possibly lose? Even if Mu Longbo came in person, it would only result in the tragic deaths of father and son, and he wouldn't be able to harm Jiang Yuan in the slightest.

This scheme was unfair from beginning to end. It started as unfair to Jiang Yuan, and now it has become unfair to Mu Jiao.

…………

Because the essence blood of the nine sons had not yet been collected, Jiang Yuan did not continue his seclusion. Instead, he wandered around the human race, preparing to personally experience the changes that had taken place in the human race in recent years.

Then, as he wandered around, he made an unexpected discovery: he actually saw the figures of the demon race among the humans.

This is very unusual. Although the demon race is now the overlord of heaven and earth, because the witch race dominates the earth, the demon race's living space on the ground has long been squeezed out, and they have no choice but to move to the sky to live.

Those who refused to leave were either killed by the Witch Clan or secretly killed by the myriad races.

Indeed, apart from the Witch Clan, all the other races on Earth also harbor extreme hatred towards the Demon Clan.

Although they don't have the strength of the Witch Clan to openly slaughter the Demon Clan, they still have the audacity to do things in secret, and quite a bit of it.

The primordial world was vast and boundless, and with the small population of the Wu tribe, they simply couldn't have wiped out the remaining demon race on the land. But now, looking around, the demon race has almost disappeared from the land.

The reason for this was that all the races secretly attacked, using the banner of the Witch Clan to kill all the demons left on the ground.

As for why all races hate the demon race so much, it can only be said that the demon race brought it upon themselves. First of all, in the early days of the demon race, in order to expand its power, it attacked all races everywhere, forcing them to join the demon race.

After these battles, the weak-willed races all surrendered and became members of the demon race.

Those who are resilient and haven't been wiped out by the demon race are the myriad races on earth today. They all have a deep-seated hatred for the demon race, and given the chance, they certainly won't be polite to them.

Secondly, and most importantly.

After the demon race established the Heavenly Court and took control of the celestial sphere, Qian's first act was to intercept all the boundless starlight that should have flowed to the primordial land and use it for his own purposes.

This caused an uproar throughout the entire prehistoric land, with everyone cursing the demon race.

The starlight meant to sustain the entire primordial world was intercepted by the demon race and used to sustain their own clan.

Such selfish and self-serving actions by the demon race have directly aroused hatred to the fullest extent, pushing them to the opposite side of all races.

From this moment on, the demon race and all other races on earth formed a great karmic bond, and all races hated its demise.
