Chapter (441): [The Outcome of the Negotiations]

***********************************
Three clones of Lord Xingmang, Yuan, and Luo Feng traversed layers of time and space and went directly to visit Ka Fu Xiu.
"Although there are many small factions, most of them are easy to negotiate with," Lord Xingmang said calmly.
The top four powerhouses in the Infinite Hunyuan Space are occupied by three of them!
Luo Feng is undoubtedly the absolute first.
With such an overwhelming pressure - how many Hunyuan Ancestors who haven't reached the Immortal realm would dare to defy them?
Yuan nodded in agreement: "We need to be cautious primarily with the Immortal Realm entities. Among the smaller factions, only the Hermit, Mo Gu Si, Mo Xu, Ka Fu Xiu, and Feather Emperor are Immortal. The Hermit's True Body can't be found, and he doesn't claim any Territory. Mo Gu Si is our sworn enemy, hidden among countless Life souls, and also claims no Territory. For now, we need to focus on Ka Fu Xiu, Mo Xu, and Feather Emperor."
Luo Feng smiled: "The Feather Emperor still has attachments to consider - the Feather Clan. The Feather Clan (Yu Jie) isn't particularly eager for the Origin Cores of Origin Worlds, so they should be relatively easy to negotiate with. The real key points are Ka Fu Xiu and Mo Xu."
"They act alone, without attachments, but precisely because of that," Lord Xingmang said, "we need to be even more careful."
Such unencumbered beings could turn hostile without warning.
"We've arrived."
Lord Xingmang, Yuan, and Luo Feng looked ahead.
Amidst a resplendent cloud mass, there was Ka Fu Xiu's cultivation cave.
The surrounding 39 World Clusters naturally became his domain, and no other power dared to infiltrate this territory.
The countless Hunyuan Lifeforms that thrived within this domain were all loyal to Ka Fu Xiu.
Although he cared little for them, they remained unwaveringly devoted, diligently serving him without ever daring to defy his will.
After all, their very survival depended on the protection of their Hunyuan Ancestor.
"Hahaha..." A booming laugh echoed as Ka Fu Xiu strode out from the clouds, his gaze sweeping over Luo Feng and his companions.
"Hmm, Luo Feng, my friend! What brings you here? And Lord Xingmang and Yuan have come as well?"
"Ka Fu Xiu, I need your help with something," Luo Feng said with a smile.
"Oh?" Ka Fu Xiu's expression turned curious.
"This is the situation..." Luo Feng proceeded to explain the situation in detail, while Yuan and Lord Xingmang remained silent, knowing that Luo Feng was the one with the closest relationship to Ka Fu Xiu.
After finishing his explanation, Luo Feng added, "The inhabitants of the Origin Worlds are kin to the Practitioner Lords. Even if we don't need their resources, we must find a way to reclaim all the Origin Worlds. Even if complete recovery is impossible in this era, future Lords will continue to strive for it!"
"I truly envy you," Ka Fu Xiu sighed, "You have companions and countless kin."
Ka Fu Xiu had been alone from the moment of his creation.
"As for your request for my help, it's a trivial matter," Ka Fu Xiu said.
"From this moment forth, all World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms under my command are forbidden from devouring Origin Worlds. Violators will be executed!" Ka Fu Xiu's voice instantly echoed in the minds of the thousands of World-level Hunyuan Lifeforms under his command.
The thousands of World-level Hunyuan Lifeforms within his Territory trembled in fear and respectfully acknowledged the command.
No one dared to defy Ka Fu Xiu!
Ka Fu Xiu protected them, shielding them from oppression by other factions. But once he issued an order, not a single Hunyuan Lifeform dared to rebel.
Ka Fu Xiu and Luo Feng were close, and their conversations flowed easily. But across the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space, Ka Fu Xiu was renowned for his stubbornness.
"Alright, my friend Luo Feng, I've done as you requested," Ka Fu Xiu said with a smile.
"Thank you," Luo Feng said gratefully, "I owe you a favor."
"It's nothing," Ka Fu Xiu replied, still smiling.
"Once the Practitioner Faction finishes its current affairs, I do have a small request for your assistance."
He knew that Luo Feng's exploration of the Abyss of Destruction far surpassed his own, and he hoped to gain more intelligence from him.
"Definitely," Luo Feng nodded in agreement.
........
"I have only one request: accompany me through all thirty-four levels of the Abyss of Destruction so that I can broaden my horizons," Mo Xu said, looking at Luo Feng.
He didn't care that all his World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms would be forbidden from devouring Origin Worlds.
"Alright, I agree," Luo Feng nodded.
Mo Xu always felt a deep affinity with the Abyss of Destruction, but despite his existence spanning countless ages, he had made little progress and never gained the Abyss's recognition.
As the master of the Abyss of Destruction's lowest Chaos Destruction Realm...
Mo Xu truly needed something from Luo Feng.
......
"Agreed, but the Practitioner Faction must promise to assist the Feather Clan if we ever face a crisis," the Feather Emperor said, being quite reasonable.
"We can promise you that if the Feather Clan ever faces a crisis, the Eight Lords will definitely intervene," Yuan replied.
The Feather Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
Although he himself had already achieved Immortal Realm, the overall strength of the Feather Clan remained too weak.
......
After securing agreements with the three Immortal beings, the remaining Hunyuan Ancestors proved far more amenable. None who wished to live would dare resist the combined presence of Luo Feng, Lord Xingmang, and Yuan.
Within a single day, all the weaker factions were persuaded!
Of course, the "Hermit" and "Mo Gu Si," who possessed no Territory, were not included in this tally.
******
The Main Combat Clones of the Eight Lords were all on their way, heading straight for the core of the Ice Peak Faction.
"We've secured agreements with all the weaker factions," Yuan said with a smile.
"Thanks to Luo Feng, Ka Fu Xiu and Mo Xu agreed so readily."
The other seven Lords also looked pleased.
The first phase of negotiations had been a resounding success.
Even when combined, the weaker factions still controlled twenty percent of the Territory.
From this day forward, all Origin Worlds within that Territory would belong to the Practitioner Faction.
"The Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction and the Ice Peak Faction are the real challenges," Lord Xingmang remarked.
Luo Feng nodded in agreement.
One faction had over a hundred Hunyuan Ancestors, each with their own ambitions.
The other boasted twelve Immortal Realm beings.
"We should try to win them over," Yuan said, "I'll send Clones to meet with them privately first."
Among the twelve Immortal Realm beings of the Ice Peak Faction, the top five in power were Shazhou, Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor, Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor, Wugu Hunyuan Ancestor, and Xiu sawei.
When Yuan first became a Lord, the Practitioner Faction had only one Lord, and he primarily aligned himself with the Ice Peak Faction's interests.
For a long time, the Practitioner Faction had been a steadfast ally of the Ice Peak Faction.
It was only as the Practitioner Faction grew stronger that the two factions began to drift apart.
Yet in terms of personal friendships, Yuan shared unusually strong bonds with many of the Ice Peak Faction's Hunyuan Ancestors.
"Brother Yuan, it's all on you now," Lord Xingmang said.
.......
Yuan split his consciousness into numerous Clones, quietly visiting all nine Hunyuan Ancestors except the Three Sovereigns of the Wind-Thunder and Sea.
His relationship with the Three Sovereigns was fraught with hostility. Knowing any visit would only invite humiliation, Yuan saw no point in wasting his time.
"Yuan, your kindness has been paramount in my achieving Immortal Realm," Xiu Sawei said with characteristic frankness, "This matter, I will certainly help you with."
"Thank you, Xiu Sawei. I'll cherish our friendship. If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to reach out to me or the entire Practitioner Faction." Yuan was genuinely moved; Xiu Sawei had repeatedly supported him on numerous occasions, offering help without ever making demands.
"If I ever run into trouble, I'll definitely ask for your help," Xiu Sawei said with a smile.
In Xiu Sawei's view, the two major factions within the Ice Peak Faction - the Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor and Shazhou, and the Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor - were both overly self-centered.
In contrast, Yuan valued loyalty and camaraderie, a rare quality among the Immortal Realm beings.
This made Xiu Sawei even more willing to assist Yuan.
.......
"This is the resource list. If you agree, all these resources will be delivered immediately," Yuan said, addressing the Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor of the Pu Zhi Clan.
Within the Ice Peak Faction, the two largest clans were the Bingfeng Clan and the Pu Zhi Clan.
The Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor of the Pu Zhi Clan, having long since achieved Immortal Realm, cared most about the future of his clan.
"Besides these resources," the Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor said with a smile, "I need the Practitioner Faction to agree to help me explore this Mysterious Land. Lord Luo Feng will help me explore this Mysterious Land."
Yuan hesitated slightly before speaking.
"Luo Feng has already agreed." Yuan said.
"Then it's settled," the Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor said, looking satisfied.
The Practitioner Faction had less need for Life Core resources, but the Pu Zhi Clan desperately craved them!
In the Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor's eyes, the vast quantity of resources listed here were more than to compensated for the assistance from the Origin World.
*******
The Main Combat Clones of the Eight Lords were on the move.
"The Ice Peak Faction has twelve Immortal Realm beings, and we don't need to worry about the Three Thieves of the Wind-Thunder and Sea. I've privately approached nine of them," Yuan said, frowning, "Four have already agreed, but Bingfeng and Shazhou... they've made demands."
"Shazhou wants a Destruction Fruit," Yuan said, turning to Luo Feng, "If we give her a Destruction Fruit, Bingfeng and the others will agree to our terms. Otherwise, they won't relinquish their Origin World."
"It's useless," Lord Xingmang said, frowning, "Even if we give her a Destruction Fruit, Shazhou won't keep her word. In the future I've observed, once Shazhou gets the Destruction Fruit, the Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor will deliberately provoke her! Then the Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor will lead some of the Immortal Realm beings to ally with the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor... and Shazhou will use the opportunity to demand a second Destruction Fruit."
Yuan nodded.
He knew that Shazhou was reclusive and solitary, caring about no one except the Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor. She might even directly attack the Practitioner Faction.
"Brother Yuan, the results of your private negotiations are excellent," Lord Xingmang said with a smile, "Excluding the Three Thieves of the Wind-Thunder and Sea, there are nine Immortal Realm beings, and you've secured the agreement of four. This will cause a split within the Ice Peak Faction, limiting their ability to act against us."
"The Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction will likely only oppose us with a portion of their strength."
"The same goes for the Ice Peak Faction."
Lord Xingmang's eyes turned icy, "In the end, we'll have to rely on slaughter! Especially those who haven't reached the Immortal Realm. If they dare to interfere, we'll eliminate them!"
"Only through slaughter can we weaken the resistance enough," Lord Xingmang continued, "Once their strength is insufficient, even the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor and the Bingfeng Hunyuan Ancestor will have no choice but to endure."
Luo Feng and the others nodded.
Suddenly-
"You Eight Lords need not come yourselves," a thought descended upon the Time-Space, "We are aware of your purpose, but we require time for internal deliberation. We will provide a response after one Epoch."
The Eight Lords were stunned.
"Very well," Yuan nodded, "We will await your response."
"Just like the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction, they will also take one Epoch?" Lord Naigu frowned slightly.
"For now, we wait," Lord Xingmang said, "Within this Epoch, we must remain vigilant against their potential alliance!"
