Chapter 432: Chapter 14: Negotiation
Yuan arrived at the fallen territories, observing the surroundings, his expression turned cold.
Throughout his long life, he had always dedicated himself to the Cultivator Camp! Among the lords, Yuan contributed the most in nurturing young cultivators. Now, seeing over a hundred world groups plundered and many Source World Origins devoured, how could he be in a good mood?
“The Ice Peak Camp and the Innate Primordial Camp are essentially the same; they both are innate primordial needing to plunder numerous resources, and many like to devour ’Source World Origins’.” Yuan thought.
At the highest level of the Ice Peak Camp, there are twelve undying and undying beings, who occasionally also like to taste the Source World Origin.
Besides these twelve, the Ice Peak Camp has some Ancestors joining too! These Ancestors have not reached the ’undying and undying’, so they enjoy devouring the Source World Origin even more.
“The Innate Primordial Camp is the greatest enemy, the conflict with the Ice Peak Camp is also very significant.” Yuan understood this.
As Creatures emerging from the Source World, there is an irreconcilable conflict with any life group that likes to devour ’Source World Origins’.
“Only by becoming strong enough.”
“Can all forces be deterred from devouring the Source World.” Yuan thought, “Now, the eighth lord ’Luo Feng’ has emerged, a lord mastering the Power Breaking Technique! In the future, a ninth lord will emerge! Our Cultivator Camp will grow even stronger!”
Suppressing his fury, Yuan followed his senses straight to an Ancestor Level being within this fallen territory.
Whoosh!
Wherever Yuan passed, rules operated, allowing him to cross infinite distances with each step, reaching a location in just a moment.
“Yuan, you are here.”
A warm voice sounded, welcoming a towering black figure enthusiastically.
Yuan looked at the figure, a towering black figure clad in black scale armor, with a single eye burning with blood-red flame, looking quite fierce. But his smile was very bright.
“Wugu Ancestor.” Yuan looked at him.
The Wugu Ancestor, one of the twelve undying and undying beings of the Ice Peak Camp, ranked in the top five in strength.
If placed in the entire Infinite Primordial Space, the Wugu Ancestor is also among the top thirty, comparable to the Lotus Prison Mountain Master.
“I am here to discuss your occupation of over a hundred world groups.” Yuan said coldly, “Our Cultivator Camp and your Ice Peak Camp are considered allies! Yet you occupy our territories? Is this what allies do?”
“Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious, knowing you were coming, the Ice Peak Ancestor has already convened the highest level, and later the Ice Peak Ancestor and others will incarnate to arrive.” Wugu Ancestor said.
The Ice Peak Ancestor is also the highest leader of the Ice Peak Camp, he led the establishment of this alliance.
…
Within a huge towering palace.
Accompanied by the Wugu Ancestor, Yuan also sat there waiting.
In just a moment——
Eleven figures all descended, indeed the incarnations of the other eleven undying and undying beings of the Ice Peak Camp! All twelve gathering clearly shows their regard towards the Cultivator Camp.
“Brother Yuan!” a warm voice sounded, from a presence towering like an ice mountain, his whole body composed of deep blue ice, even just an incarnation could glimpse the terrifying power he possessed.
The Ice Peak Ancestor is a presence with strength comparable to Yuan.
He possesses a nearly ’Wulan’ indestructible body, with mastery over endless icy power! His methods to threaten enemies are stronger than Wulan’s.
“Ice Peak.” Yuan nodded, the Ice Peak Ancestor has lived far longer than Yuan, they once experienced a period of life-and-death friendships, when the Cultivator Camp had only Yuan as the sole lord.
At that time, the Ice Peak Ancestor established the Ice Peak Camp and warmly recruited ’Yuan’, who did not join, yet it did not harm their friendship.
However, with the continuous strength increase of the Cultivator Camp, the relationship between the two has changed.
“Brother Yuan.”
“Yuan.”
The twelve beings of the Ice Peak Camp were very familiar with Yuan.
Yuan greeted them one by one, then looked at a gray-robed woman.
“Elder Sister Sha Zhou.” Yuan’s eyes had a complex expression, “It’s been a long time.”
The gray-robed woman glanced at Yuan, nodding slightly.
In a long past era, the universally recognized strongest being in the entire Infinite Primordial Space was this ’Sha Zhou’, who was solitary and withdrawn! Her friends were few, countable on fingers.
Her best friend was the Ice Peak Ancestor! Her second best friend could be considered ’Yuan’.
When the Ice Peak Camp was founded, the Ice Peak Ancestor warmly invited, and Sha Zhou joined! This made the entire Ice Peak Camp terrifyingly influential.
Later…
The Starlight Lord emerged!
The Starlight Lord, who mastered two Primordial Level Paths, was considered by many forces to be the strongest existing now! Some still believed ’Sha Zhou’ to be the strongest. However, one thing was certain, if the top two were selected in the Infinite Primordial Space, it would definitely be Starlight and Sha Zhou.
During the confrontation between the two major camps, the Starlight Lord and the Infinite Snake Ancestor’s void techniques countered each other, with both only able to exert a portion of their strength.
The Infinite Snake Ancestor, skilled in void power, also had the backing of the Infinite World! His void capability far surpassed the Mother of Space-Time. In one-on-one combat, he was not inferior to the Ice Peak Ancestor, Mogus, and others, but was completely suppressed by the Starlight Lord.
“Elder Sister Sha Zhou, our Cultivator Camp and the Ice Peak Camp have always been allies, yet the Ice Peak Camp took advantage of our war with the Innate Primordial Camp to invade over a hundred world groups. Elder Sister Sha Zhou, how do you think this should be handled?” Yuan looked at Sha Zhou.
“This minor matter, discuss it with Ice Peak.” Sha Zhou said, clearly indifferent to the disputes over these hundreds of world groups.
“Elder!”
Ice Peak Ancestor firmly grasped Yuan’s hand, sitting together, “You know Sister Sha Zhou’s temperament. She wouldn’t bother with these matters. Our Ice Peak Camp and your Cultivator Camp are indeed allies, but you know, our Ice Peak Camp is scattered internally, and it’s difficult for me to completely manage them. When I learned they occupied hundreds of world groups, I immediately ordered a stop.”
“But wanting them to give up the occupied world groups… It’s difficult for me.” Ice Peak Ancestor looked at Yuan.
Yuan also knew that the Ice Peak Camp was quite loose, with the twelve Undying and Undying entities each having their own interests. Perhaps only Sha Zhou didn’t care about these resources, as Sha Zhou cared most about this close friend, Ice Peak Ancestor.
Yuan was well aware of the friendship between Sha Zhou and Ice Peak. For Ice Peak, Sha Zhou would stop at nothing.
“Three Thousand Six Hundred World Groups! We cannot lose a single region in our Cultivator Territory.” Yuan looked around, “Everyone knows, we’ve reclaimed all other invaded territories. It’s only the hundred-plus world groups you’ve occupied remaining. Our Cultivator Lords will use the ’Space-Time Net’ to hunt down all enemies within the territory.”
“You dare!” Three identical-looking figures stood up, all glaring at Yuan.
“You dare to take action against us?”
“Your Cultivator Camp is expanding, is it wrong for us to occupy these hundred-plus?”
These three identical-looking figures kept shouting angrily. After joining the Ice Peak Camp, they loved attacking and occupying places the most! Nearly half of these hundred-plus world groups were occupied by them.
Other Undying and Undying entities also opened their mouths to angrily reprimand, while some calmly watched.
“The Three Thieves of Wind and Thunder Sea!” Yuan looked at the three identical figures, sneering, “Without the power of the Ice Peak Camp, would you three thieves dare to occupy? In front of the Cultivator Camp, what are you?”
The Three Emperors of Wind and Thunder Sea, weak in strength, ranked among the lower tier among Ancestors! Yet due to mastering the characteristic of highest power, they were all Undying and Undying.
The three relied on ’Undying and Undying’, relying on the power of the Ice Peak Camp, yet they loved causing trouble the most.
In the Land of Eternity, all three were among the bottom ranks, so they banded together!
“Yuan!” The Three Emperors of Wind and Thunder Sea became furious hearing Yuan call them ’three thieves’.
“Don’t forget, one Mo Man wiped out all three of you.” Yuan sneered, indeed belittling these three thieves. Clearly weak in strength, yet always bouncing around!
Lord Mo Man once, in anger, struck, forcibly obliterating their bodies and seizing their weapons and treasures. But these three… No matter how much they were obliterated, they would still regain power.
“Hmph.” The Three Emperors of Wind and Thunder Sea were infuriated, but they also knew Mo Man restrained the three the most, Starlight and Jin also possessed the strength to obliterate three bodies.
“Yuan, it’s only a hundred-plus world groups, why harm the friendship between us?” Wugu Ancestor spoke with a smile.
“It’s you hurting the friendship! One word – you must return them!” Yuan said, looking around.
Among the highest level of the Ice Peak Camp, twelve Undying and Undying entities, each had their thoughts. Among them, besides the ’Three Thieves of Wind and Thunder Sea’ who were quite weak, there were also those with extremely formidable strength.
“How about this.”
Ice Peak Ancestor finally spoke, “Yuan, both of our sides are allies. Our greatest enemy is the ’Innate Primordial Camp’. ”
The Ice Peak Camp and Innate Primordial Camp needed almost the same resources.
“You know the Ice Peak Camp is quite dispersed, many matters are difficult for me to forcefully control.” Ice Peak Ancestor sighed, “Let’s be considerate of each other, so Ice Peak Camp will return more than half of the world groups! Retain sixty world groups, and I can appease internally.”
Around, a group of Undying and Undying entities also looked at Yuan.
Yuan listened, then stood up.
“Not a single world group can be missing from our Cultivator Territory.” Yuan’s gaze swept over the twelve Undying and Undying entities, “If you insist on occupation, then… Our Cultivator Camp will officially go to war with you!”
The faces of the twelve Undying and Undying entities from the Ice Peak Camp all changed.
War?
“Elder, you better think carefully.” Ice Peak Ancestor looked at him.
“Call me Yuan!”
Yuan looked at him, “Those occupying Cultivator Territory aren’t qualified to be my brother!”
Ice Peak Ancestor’s face turned cold as well, “Yuan, I’ve already conceded a step, your Cultivator Camp wants war, we who are Undying and Undying will not fear?”
“Very well.” Yuan nodded lightly, “But I warn you, once war begins, the battlefield won’t be confined to this fallen territory! All territories of your Ice Peak Camp will become targets of our Cultivator Camp. Dare to invade here, you must be prepared to be invaded back.”
“What?” Some Undying and Undying entities were startled.
Counter-invasion?
“We in the Ice Peak Camp would fear the battlefield expanding?” Ice Peak Ancestor sneered, these Undying and Undying entities don’t much care about middle and lower-tier death.
“Then wait for it.” Yuan swept his gaze and disappeared with a step.
The hall fell silent.
The twelve Undying and Undying entities each had their thoughts.
Are we really going to war?
Ice Peak Ancestor glanced around in anger.
“So this is your decision!” Ice Peak Ancestor said deeply, “You all insist on occupying the sixty world groups with the most vital resources! The result is out, Yuan and their eight lords are going to war with us.”
