Capítulo 1348: Chapter 608: Zheng Fa Returns, Supre Treasure Easily Taken (8K)_2
The seven old Daoists with long eyebrows were still hesitating.
Xuan Chengzi suddenly said, “If the Ancestor Master were to bla us for this matter in the future, or if the disciples in the sect have any complaints, it will all be my fault alone!”
Upon hearing this, the seven old Daoists with long eyebrows were speechless, looking at each other. After a long while, the old Daoist with long eyebrows sighed and said dejectedly, “Why to this extent? Let it be as Junior Brother said. If the Ancestor Master descends to punish, we will bear it together.”
Seeing other fellow brothers nodding, Xuan Chengzi gritted his teeth, raised his eyes to look at the Heavenly Emperor Body, and said, “Want to keep us here? Wishful thinking!”
The other seven were montarily stunned, only to witness Xuan Chengzi pointing remotely to the Two Instrunts Microdust Talisman and uttering the word, “Swift!”
The Two Instrunts Microdust Talisman flashed, and the eight of the Supre Dao vanished into the void, seemingly about to escape.
The Heavenly Emperor Body remained unhurried, pressing down with one hand, causing the starlight to weave into a spider web in the sky.
Xuan Chengzi and the other seven were blocked by the spider web, awkwardly reappearing in the air.
Looking at the Heavenly Emperor Body in the sky, Xuan Chengzi’s expression was sowhat grim, yet he still did not utter words of surrender. Instead, he looked as if he wanted to burn his bridges, “We of the Supre Dao would rather break than bend.”
The Heavenly Emperor Body chuckled and said, “If you hadn’t ntioned you were from the Supre Dao, I could have mistaken you for the Tianhe Sect.”
“Speak, what are your conditions?”
Xuan Chengzi’s face turned dark, feeling as if all his thoughts were plainly seen by Zheng Fa, without any secrets.
His previous act was like a clown on stage.
“In today’s battle, we admit defeat and can swear here never to invade the Jiushan Sect again!”
The Heavenly Emperor Body looked at him, seemingly waiting for what he was going to say next, but Xuan Chengzi pursed his lips and fell silent.
“That’s all?” the Heavenly Emperor Body asked in surprise, “I’ve long heard the Nine Supres of the Supre Dao are extraordinary, but upon seeing today, truly reputation doesn’t surpass the eting.”
His complints left everyone perplexed.
The Heavenly Emperor Body then said in a wistful tone, “I didn’t expect Daoist Friend Xuan Chengzi’s cultivation to be the invincible technique of proving Dao in dreams.”
Even the usually cold Taiyin Fairy slightly twitched the corner of her mouth, almost breaking into laughter.
What “proving Dao in dreams”?
Wouldn’t it be simpler to just call it daydreaming?
Xuan Chengzi, however, showed no change in expression, as if after much internal struggle, he finally said, “This ti it was our Supre Dao that offended your sect. To make ands, we can offer pills and spirit stones.”
“Oh? Let’s hear it.”
Xuan Chengzi, having long prepared his terms, spoke fluently:
“If we return, we can compensate Jiushan Sect with five hundred thousand spirit stones, and Spirit Clearing Pills…”
As he spoke, he felt a pang of heartache.
In order to persuade Zheng Fa, this was not a small amount, one could even say, this was an unprecedented loss for the Supre Dao.
But he had no choice, this defeat was unprecedented for the Supre Dao as well.
What made him more uneasy was that the Heavenly Emperor Body was rely listening with a smile, without even a hint of being moved or surprised.
In fact, the Heavenly Emperor Body looked at him with a bit of pity…

The Heavenly Emperor Body genuinely felt a bit sorry for Xuan Chengzi, for judging by his expression, this compensation was indeed a significant loss for the Supre Dao.
The problem was, for the Jiushan Sect, at least the quantity of these spirit stones was not much, insufficient for even modifying the All Heaven Stars Formation.
It seems the Supre Dao doesn’t have much surplus.
“How about it?”
The Heavenly Emperor Body smiled faintly, not deigning to speak.
Instead, Gu Hong Taoist glanced at him with a subtle look, as if looking at a beggar.
Making Xuan Chengzi’s face turn completely black.
But he also understood — the Jiushan Sect was not only strong but also much wealthier than he had imagined; this amount of spirit stones and pills could not move Zheng Fa at all!
Xuan Chengzi’s heart sank.
He originally planned to make concessions step by step, and after so contention, pretend to reluctantly give out the conditions he had previously thought of.
Who knew the Jiushan Sect was so wealthy?
Xuan Chengzi took a deep breath and provided his final condition: “Our Supre Dao can declare the Jiushan Sect as our leader, or even join the Nine Mountains Immortal Court.”
“Oh?”
The Heavenly Emperor Body finally spoke, seeming slightly moved.
Xuan Chengzi felt a glimr of hope, looking towards the Heavenly Emperor Body and said, “Only, the laws of our Supre Dao are established by the Ancestor Master and cannot be altered, thus we ask Master Zheng to allow us not to be governed by the ‘Nine Mountain Heavenly Rules’.”
The Heavenly Emperor Body upon hearing this cast a deep glance at him, then turned to look at the other seven, not saying whether he agreed or disagreed, but rather asked, “Are these your conditions?”
“Yes!”
“And if I don’t agree?”
Xuan Chengzi’s eyes turned cold, the muscles in his cheeks tightening slightly: “In that case, the Supre Dao could also emulate the Tianhe Sect.”
Not only him, but the other Supre Seven also nodded deeply, as if to declare their unyielding attitude.
Before the Heavenly Emperor Body could speak, Xuan Chengzi continued, “For myself and for the Supre Dao, we can neither accept the ‘Nine Mountain Heavenly Rules’ nor abandon the foundation established by our Ancestor Master.”
His tone of resolution was not feigned.
The Supre Dao was different from the Turquoise Pool.
The fall of the Turquoise Pool was not due to the Jiushan Sect, but rather Leiyin Temple.
Whether it was the Water Mother or Taiyin Fairy, they could only be considered as a governnt in exile, not surrendering.
But from the perspective of the Nine of the Supre Dao, the Jiushan Sect aid to destroy the Supre Dao, pushing them to surrender.
Moreover, unlike the Water Mother who was only a remnant soul, the Daoist Venerable still had substantial foundation, making it even less likely for the Supre Dao to agree to abandon itself and be fully incorporated into the Jiushan Sect like the Turquoise Pool.
Seeing the Heavenly Emperor Body remain silent for so long, Xuan Chengzi couldn’t help but feel a trace of hope.
“No.” with a single word, the Heavenly Emperor Body dashed his hopes, continuing, “If you hadn’t invaded the Jiushan Sect, I might have agreed to your request.”
“Master Zheng!”
“Your choices are only to cease resistance and submit to Jiushan.” The Heavenly Emperor Body unwaveringly stated, “In doing so, all Supre Dao territories in Xuanwei must be surrendered.”
