Chapter 538: Tribulation Thunder Destroys the Demon (Part 3)
Seeing this situation, Xie Jue Nan and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the pressure greatly reduced.
At this moment, the Mad Monk sat cross-legged in a ball of Buddha Light, slowly flying up from below.
The Mad Monk's face was pale as snow, with a wisp of black aura lingering between his brows, evidently indicating significant injuries.
"This old monk greets all fellow Daoists." The Mad Monk put his palms together in salute to everyone before saying solemnly, "Now the remnant Ghost Gods are fleeing everywhere, their poison far-reaching. We're quibbling over trivial external matters—isn't it unbecoming of True Monarchs?
If you all can trust this old monk, let this old monk keep these treasures! I am gravely injured and wish to rest at the Ascension Platform for a period. Later, you all can find me at the Ascension Platform!"
Zhao Xuanjing immediately nodded, expressing his agreement: "We naturally trust the master. Alright, then we'll trouble the master."
Zhao Sheng also nodded in agreement upon seeing this.
The Pig Emperor and Heavenly Termination Immortal pondered for a moment and also felt this was the best option, so they all nodded.
Seeing that the tide had turned, Xie Jue Nan bit his teeth and nodded with a smile.
Thus, the Mad Monk quickly collected all the treasures into his sleeve, then closed his eyes to meditate, ignoring external affairs.
On the other side, Zhao Xuanjing and Xie Jue Nan quickly discussed subsequent matters.
Xie Jue Nan again summoned the Ten Thousand Miles River and Mountain Map, temporarily sealing the time-space rift, then waited for the follow-up major forces to arrive before officially setting up the sealing Great Array.
Zhao Xuanjing took charge, collecting the remnants and relics of the four fallen Divinity Transformation, and was responsible for returning the relics.
The Pig Emperor and others also had their tasks divided.
As for the counterattack against the Netherworld?
As long as the Blood God does not die, this grand plan is forever just a conjecture!
With ancestors stepping in, Zhao Sheng didn't need to haggle with the old folks, enjoying a carefree time.
Afterward, he patrolled the surroundings at ease, "slowly" hunting down Nascent Soul Ancestors surviving from the Netherworld.
Before long, the Heavenly Pillar Fleet, which had retreated to the Yunhuang Mountain Range, took action, arriving at the Heavenly Burial Plain battlefield in half a day.
For a time, the sky was filled with Cloud Boat Fortresses, one after another Daoist Soldier Corps landed on the battlefield, beginning to clear the field and collect spoils of war.
Meanwhile, the most elite cultivation teams began to execute the task of chasing down the remnant Ghost Gods.
This task lasted for many years, with quite a few Ghost God Cultivators slain for their desperate resistance, but many more cultivators willingly revealed themselves to surrender, offering their sect inheritances.
Simultaneously, the Central Continent Alliance began to intensively convene meetings, discussing how to properly handle the casualties, how to determine merits and demerits...and other chaotic matters.
...
After a full half-year, a group of Divinity Transformation True Monarchs finally found time to gather at the Ascension Platform to discuss treasure allocation!
After ten days and nights of intense discussion and negotiation, they finally managed to come up with a proposal broadly satisfactory to everyone.
Xie Jue Nan, despite giving up a portion of the war profits, obtained the Investiture of the Gods as he desired.
Zhao Xuanjing and Zhao Sheng respectively received the God Beating Mace, Ancient Bronze Tree, Blood God Bone Bead, Red Dust Handkerchief, and a pile of other heavy treasures.
Additionally worth mentioning is that the dull black iron ring turned out to be a Sumeru Ring, filled with a mountain and sea of cultivation resources, along with a large number of rare treasures such as magical treasures, ten-thousand-year-old elixirs, high-grade Treasure Pills, high-level cultivation techniques...etc.
It can be said that most of the Netherworld army's logistics resources were contained in this seemingly ordinary iron ring.
The other treasures were manageable, but this one-of-a-kind Sumeru Ring almost incited the envy of all Divinity Transformation True Monarchs.
After some contention, this item finally fell into the hands of Heavenly Termination Immortal, for which she also gave up nearly half of her spoils.
Zhao Sheng was wealthy and bold, with treasures piled like mountains in the Sumeru Ring, and ordinary treasures did not catch his eye at all.
Therefore, he only picked the Blood God Bone Bead and the Wood Seed left after Emperor Ju Mang's fall, and a few other treasures, sending all other items to the family Treasure Vault to serve as the family's foundation.
After this matter, the True Monarchs successively left, but Zhao Sheng did not leave. Instead, he looked for an ancestor and brought up a major issue.
"No way, this old man absolutely won't agree!" Zhao Xuanjing listened and glared with anger, adamantly shouting.
