Chapter 941: Dividing the Spoils

Chapter 941: Chapter 941: Dividing the Spoils

For over sixty years, the Longevity Demon Lord has been undergoing the Immortal Tribulation, using up nearly all of his high-grade elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to restore vitality and heal wounds; otherwise, he wouldn’t have risked exposure, transforming hundreds of millions of humans on Zhuji Continent into longevity flesh for alchemy!

Therefore, among his "relics," the quantity of elixirs is quite sparse, with only a few bottles of Grade VII elixirs with different effects.

Other types of resources, however, are dazzling and piled high, with Spirit Stones of various grades numbering over ten million, along with numerous cultivation method manuals, spirit gold deposits, talisman-making materials, finished talismans and magic artifacts, and exotic treasures... among which are top-quality items that could easily serve as centerpieces in immortal workshop auctions, drawing many high-class cultivators!

These are the Longevity Demon Lord’s accumulation over nearly fifty thousand years, richer than the Red Flame Sect’s Treasure Hall.

The Thunder Dragon Pearl, snatched from Ao Hua, is also prominently listed, stored in a specially made wooden box. Upon opening it, threads of thunder power mingle with a faint celestial charm, showcasing its extraordinary quality; its value to a Thunder Body like Lu Ming might rival that of a celestial artifact!

Shen Mo only briefly glanced at the remaining treasures, not examining them closely, before storing them together with the Demon Lord’s flesh-like residual corpse into the Sword Zone space, to allocate with the crowd later.

Afterward, he removed the filth-stained robe that had accomplished great feats, folded it, and placed it in the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

The situation settled, the distant Snow City constructed by Ning Qingnv’s spell slowly dissolved, turning to rain that fell on the upper reaches of Hidden Dragon River.

After the Longevity Demon Lord was "put to death," the celestial artifact bronze halberd lost its mana support and was no longer able to counter the Dragon Suppression Tablet. With a whimper, it was thoroughly suppressed, and Ao Hua and Ao Kang, the two True Dragons, returned to human form. After putting away the halberd and stele, they flew toward Shen Mo with the Chu sisters and others.

Ning Qingnv, who was on good terms with Luofu Mountain, didn’t forget to teleport to Jiuli Mountain, bringing Tang Chan along;

Lingxiao Zi was sent to the Outer Zone by the Void Gate, and during the "distribution of spoils," someone had to fight for his benefits. Tang Chan, being his Direct Disciple and Luofu Mountain’s young leader, happened to be watching from the side, making her the most suitable to represent him!

"Buzz!"

A peculiar aura rippled through, prompting everyone to look up at the sky.

The "Immortal Zone" constructed by two True Immortals had already vanished, yet Jiuli Dark Lord was nowhere in sight, likely having returned to Jiuli Mountain.

The group led by Shen Mo had come knocking, and even "killed" the Longevity Demon Lord he had an agreement with and protected; it’s fortunate the Soul Ghost True Immortal didn’t turn hostile, naturally having no mood to meet them!

The Seventh-order True Dragon Tai Ao Tianhao was still there, concealed by Immortal Law, and leisurely descended from the Ninth Heaven, landing in front of the group.

"Greetings, Senior Ao Hao (Patriarch)!" Shen Mo and the others bowed in respect.

As entities of such a Realm, even seeing a True Immortal character wouldn’t compel them to bow randomly, a mere gesture of respect suffices.

Ao Hao smiled and nodded, his face obscured by spell and celestial light, but a True Immortal’s demeanor could still indirectly convey his expressions through the aura field, making everyone feel as if basking in spring breeze!

"The young are formidable! Who knows if newcomers may surpass the old..."

Ao Hao praised the group and invited Shen Mo, Ning Qingnv, the Chu sisters, and others to visit his Water Mansion if leisure permits.

After meeting everyone, he didn’t bring up the matter of battle gains, directly flying into Hidden Dragon River, transforming into his True Dragon Body and escaping to the middle and lower reaches, startling the river’s aquatic creatures, demonic beasts, and Spiritual Monsters into chaos!

Once this Seventh-order True Dragon departed, Shen Mo and others carefully cleaned up the battlefield, collecting the remains of the luxurious chariot and, using spell, hoisting up the Moon Palace fallen into Hidden Dragon River, flying toward a direction away from Jiuli Mountain; after flying hundreds of thousands of miles, they randomly chose a mountain top to land, preparing to divide the loot from this battle.

Before that, the group again attempted to contact Lingxiao Zi with Formless sensing ability, but there was still no response;

It’s likely that his current location is either in the Outer Void far from the Immortal Realm or in a mysterious world akin to the cultivation world, otherwise he would sense someone speaking his name if sent to the Lower Realm by the Void Gate!

Given this, Shen Mo and the others no longer waited for him, beginning to allocate the Demon Lord’s "relics" based on the merits of this battle!

The Thunder Dragon Pearl naturally returns to its original owner, as even if Shen Mo covets this treasure, he has no basis to compete with Ao Hua and Ao Kang for the True Dragon Demon Core left by their ancestor.

Furthermore, the bronze halberd, a lower-grade Immortal Artifact, was also taken by Ao Hua, who would later hand it over to Ao Hao.

Had it not been for the presence of a Seventh-order True Dragon to restrain Jiuli Dark Lord, had there not been a Dragon Suppression Tablet to suppress the bronze halberd, the group wouldn’t have been able to defeat the Longevity Demon Lord so smoothly, hence none questioned the belonging of this Immortal Artifact!

Though the bronze halberd holds significant power, Shen Mo is not particularly interested in it.

Spiritual Artifacts, spiritual treasures, celestial artifacts... these top-tier magic treasures birthed with Artifact Spirits grow increasingly difficult to subdue as their quality, power, and spirituality increase.

Even without an owner, subduing the Artifact Spirit of an Immortal Artifact for refinement requires at least hundreds, if not thousands, of years of dedicated effort.

Given the time and energy, Shen Mo is confident, leveraging his forging skills, Spiritual Wisdom Skill, and nurturing of Essence and Qi, he can eventually elevate his current treasures to the same level or slightly below this artifact!

Moreover.

The Longevity Demon Lord escaped with a wisp of residual soul, not having been completely annihilated.

Under such circumstances, even someone like Ao Hao, a True Immortal, may not subdue the bronze halberd even after thousands to tens of thousands of years. If forcefully erasing its gnosis and the soul mark left by the Demon Lord, the artifact would drop to a profound level magic artifact, making it hard to restore its current wondrous nature even with meticulous nurturing!

Thus, Ao Hao claiming this lower-grade Immortal Artifact from the spoils is not only free from Shen Mo’s dissatisfaction but is welcomed!

Shen Mo’s share of the treasures is equally abundant, temporarily setting aside the scattered spiritual items, the most precious include two items: a large portion of the Longevity Demon Lord’s corpse and the Moon Palace.

No need to elaborate on the former, this Sixth Order Peak great demon, having undergone a Sixty Year Cycle of Immortal Tribulation, had one foot already stepping into the True Immortal Realm, and while the corpse’s primal Essence and Qi quality may not match that of a Hallow Venerable’s severed finger, the quantity far surpasses it.

Carrying various Skills and cultivated numerous miraculous methods, Shen Mo isn’t afraid of the residual will or Dao marks within the Demon Lord’s corpse polluting himself, fully intending to use it as fuel, burning it to dramatically elevate his cultivation level.

According to his calculations, this flesh-like Demon Lord’s corpse is enough to boost his cultivation to the Middle Stage of the Formless Realm.

Moreover, the evil qi that neither Spirit Devouring nor "Dragon Elephant Blood Fiend Body" could extinguish or refine can feed the Evil-eating Centipede;

This Spirit Pet, nurtured for years by "Feather Transformation Stone Marrow," is close to breakthrough, and absorbing a large amount of evil entities and qi will undoubtedly ensure its advancement, rising to the ranks of Class VI Demon Venerable!
