"This White Bone Blow was crafted from the chest bone of a Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign. When sounded, it can suppress the divine soul. It is a supreme treasure of my Netherworld Realm!"
Ghost Emperor spoke with a dark expression, his face carrying traces of heartache.
However, those words were not particularly convincing.
"The effect is indeed decent, but its power is fairly average. If I am not mistaken, this thing only has absolute effectiveness against those below Heavenly Sovereign. Against Heavenly Sovereigns whose divine souls have already been tempered, even Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereigns, its effects would be greatly reduced."
"It can barely be counted as an Peerless Saint Artifact..."
Liu Bai was not deliberately belittling the White Bone Blow. The value of this item was not much greater than Ancestor Danyang's incomplete Ancient Mandala Flower remains. At most, it was worth around two billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.
Ghost Emperor did not care about any of that. Since he had already produced the compensation Liu Bai demanded, then Liu Bai should uphold the agreement.
Liu Bai also did not bother arguing over this matter. He directly raised his hand and released Ghost Emperor. The latter immediately repeated the same actions as Ancestor Danyang, directly bringing all the members of Spirit Ghost Gate back to his Netherworld Realm!
Afterward, Violet Lightning Venerable produced six billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, along with three lightning attribute treasures comparable to quasi-Peerless Saint Artifacts, in exchange for his freedom.
Seeing this, City Lord Youxuan of Profound Yin City also produced six billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids and three quasi-Peerless Saint Artifacts, one of which was an extremely yin object very suitable for Liu Mubai.
Thanks to Liu Bai's assistance, Liu Mubai had fused the strange flame Devouring Life Flame with his own Profound Yin Nether Flame Art, cultivating a Profound Yin Devouring Life Beast Celestial Body. Although its grade was not very high initially, just like the Devouring Life Flame, it possessed tremendous growth potential.
With this supreme yin object, according to Liu Bai's estimates, after fusion, his second younger brother's bizarre Celestial Body should be elevated to a level comparable to those ranked within the top thirty of the Celestial Body Ranking.
That was already extremely good, enough for Liu Mubai to grow into a top tier Earth Sovereign expert.
As for becoming a Heavenly Sovereign, that was simply impossible. Not only Liu Mubai, but within the entire Liu Clan, aside from Liu Bai himself, it was likely impossible for a second Heavenly Sovereign to emerge in this generation.
As Ghost Emperor and the other three departed one after another, the only person still trapped within the space was the Valley Master of White Tiger Valley, White Tiger King.
Liu Bai's gaze swept toward the sturdy old man dressed in a robe embroidered with White Tiger divine patterns, and he could not help frowning slightly.
"What? It seems your White Tiger Valley intends to resist to the very end?"
White Tiger King's complexion was somewhat unnaturally pale, clearly showing he had suffered serious injuries.
Actually, under Liu Bai's attack, the five great experts had suffered roughly the same amount of damage. With a Heavenly Sovereign's recovery ability, they could have fully recovered within just a few breaths.
However, now their spiritual energy had been completely suppressed by Liu Bai's Five Elements sealing power. Even the self recovery of their spiritual bodies had been restricted, so the longer time passed, the heavier their injuries became.
Upon hearing Liu Bai's questioning, White Tiger King's expression darkened further.
It was not because he was tougher than the others. Rather, White Tiger Valley simply could not compare to the other four factions and truly could not afford such enormous compensation.
But no matter what, White Tiger King could not bring himself to say such words aloud.
However, his appearance directly caused Liu Bai to misunderstand. Liu Bai thought he had encountered a true hard bone who was prepared to "value money over life"...
"Heh, have you started to think I am easy to talk to?" Liu Bai laughed from anger.
Since that was the case, then he would make an example out of him. It would also save others from believing in the future that Liu Bai was softhearted and easy to bully!
"Heaven and Earth Five Elements, suppress!"
Bringing his palms together, Liu Bai directly prepared to activate the Five Emperor Gods.
"Stop! Palace Master Liu, quickly stop and listen to me!" Seeing that Liu Bai truly intended to kill him, White Tiger King finally no longer dared continue acting tough and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"You are only begging now. Don't you think it's already too late?" Cold light flickered within Liu Bai's eyes. Once killing intent had arisen in his heart, how could it be so easily restrained?
"Palace Master Liu, please do not attack. It is not that I refuse to compensate you, but rather that I truly cannot produce so much compensation. Even if I gather together everything currently in my possession, it would at most only amount to five billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids in value."
Liu Bai's movements suddenly paused. Looking at White Tiger King, who neither seemed to be lying nor could possibly lie in this situation, Liu Bai suddenly did not know what to say.
Honestly, since you have already fallen to this extent, whether you continue being the Valley Master of White Tiger Valley or not does not really matter much anymore.
An Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign, even as an independent cultivator, could still live freely and comfortably. After all these years, it was impossible that he could not even produce five billion.
"Palace Master Liu may not believe it, but this is the truth. The circumstances of the White Tiger Realm are somewhat special. The reason I am so obsessed with Skylaw Continent is because I want to relocate White Tiger Valley out of the White Tiger Realm."
Liu Bai frowned slightly. It seemed that after the White Tiger's fall, the White Tiger Realm truly had not fared well over these tens of thousands of years, to the point that even a super force wanted to escape from it.
"In that case, perhaps you can consider this proposal of mine." After thinking for a moment, Liu Bai spoke.
White Tiger King raised his head, looked toward Liu Bai, and asked, "Speak."
The saying that poverty weakens ambition did not apply only to ordinary people. Even Heavenly Sovereigns were no exception.
"How about this? If you are willing to promise that from today onward, you will become an elder of my Five Elements Divine Palace and accept my orders for one hundred years, then I can designate an entire region as the land where your White Tiger Valley may reside. If in the future you find a better choice, I also will not stop you from leaving."
An Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign was still quite a useful helper. He could conveniently remain behind to oversee Skylaw Continent after Liu Bai departed, preventing some blind fools from causing trouble again.
Upon hearing this, White Tiger King's first instinct was to refuse. After all, he had been living quite comfortably as his own "mountain king," so why should he become someone else's subordinate?
"Relax. Your existence is merely to oversee Skylaw Continent while I am away. Under normal circumstances, I will not casually order you around. Within the Divine Palace, your status will be second only to mine, equal to that of the Vice Palace Master."
"And I will also openly invite you to join, ensuring that you do not lose face before the many experts of the Great Thousand World."
After hearing Liu Bai's repeated assurances, the resistance within White Tiger King's expression immediately weakened considerably.
After pondering for a moment, White Tiger King asked, "Which region do you intend for White Tiger Valley to settle in?"
"Among the four great regions of east, south, west, and north, aside from the Northern Region, you may choose whichever of the remaining three you wish!"
Liu Bai waved his hand.
The Central Region would definitely belong to the Five Elements Divine Palace. No one could interfere there. As for the Northern Region, it was where he had first established himself and also the foundation of the Five Elements Divine Palace. In the future, Liu Bai intended to leave it to Jiu You or Mandala.
As for the remaining three regions, honestly speaking, Liu Bai did not intend to devote too much effort to them. He only required them to display submission. White Tiger Valley could conveniently oversee them on his behalf after settling there.
"Alright..." In the end, White Tiger King still agreed. "But one hundred years is too much. Fifty years instead."
Although whether one hundred years or fifty years, neither amounted to much for a Heavenly Sovereign, if he could spend fifty fewer years under another's suppression, then psychologically he would naturally feel much better.
"Agreed."
Fifty years, In ten years' time, no one even knew what the Great Thousand World would become.
So for Liu Bai, whether it was fifty years or one hundred years actually made little difference. If he truly reached that step in the future, then White Tiger King would probably beg while crying to remain behind.
With White Tiger Valley's submission, the struggle over Skylaw Continent had finally come to an end.
As for the final outcome, unsurprisingly, it caused the entire Skylaw Continent to tremble in shock.
All the factions across the continent understood that after this battle, the Five Elements Divine Palace would become the undisputed strongest faction on Skylaw Continent. With Liu Bai as such an overwhelmingly powerful Palace Master, the Five Elements Divine Palace now possessed both the qualifications and the strength to dominate Skylaw Continent.
From this moment onward, no one would ever again be capable of shaking the Five Elements Divine Palace's position.
As a result, after the battle concluded, the leaders of all the top factions on Skylaw Continent flocked toward the headquarters of the Five Elements Divine Palace, eagerly lowering their heads and declaring submission.
Of course, every one of these faction leaders was a true old fox. The reason they were so eager to state their allegiance was because they wanted to ensure that once the Five Elements Divine Palace dominated Skylaw Continent, their own interests could be preserved to the greatest extent possible.
Afterward, Liu Bai also kept his promise. In Skylaw City, he held a grand ceremony, officially inviting White Tiger King to become a guest elder of the Five Elements Divine Palace, while designating the Southern Region as the sphere of influence for White Tiger Valley.
This news directly shook the entire Great Thousand World. With Liu Bai's terrifying strength of fighting five Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereigns alone, coupled with White Tiger Valley, the Five Elements Divine Palace instantly rose into the very highest tier among all super forces!
Headquarters of the Five Elements Divine Palace, Ancient Heavenly Palace.
At this moment, the Ancient Heavenly Palace had already been relocated by Liu Bai above Skylaw City, appearing like an enormous floating island suspended in the sky.
Within the Ancient Heavenly Palace, the surging Heavenly River roared endlessly. Liu Bai sat cross legged atop a mountain peak near the river. His gaze drifted toward a distant mountain, from which powerful spiritual energy fluctuations were faintly spreading.
That was where Mandala was currently in seclusion. After obtaining the remains of the Ancient Mandala Flower, she had immediately entered secluded cultivation to attempt the Heavenly Sovereign realm she had long dreamed of.
Although the Five Elements Divine Palace had now become the overlord of Skylaw Continent, with a territory several hundred times larger than before, Liu Bai had ironically become much more relaxed.
This was because every region beneath him already had its own administrators, while the Five Elements Divine Palace only needed them to submit the required tribute resources on time.
Combined with the resources Liu Bai had extorted from Ghost Emperor and the others, the amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid possessed by the Five Elements Divine Palace had already reached an astonishing level. Even supplying their normal expenditures for several decades would still leave them with more than enough!
And tribute was something that flowed continuously year after year, so Liu Bai was naturally feeling extremely pleased with himself right now.
"Calculating the time, should it be about time for the Phoenix Clan to open the Divine Transformation Pool..."
Because of Liu Bai's interference, the conflict between the Northern Region and the five great factions had occurred much earlier compared to the original story. As a result, the "dominating Skylaw" event that should have happened after the "Jiu You incident" had been advanced. Now that Liu Bai finally had free time again, he naturally thought of this matter.
However, instead of receiving a request for aid from the Nine Nether Clan, the person who arrived was Mu Chen.
"You are saying that you plan to travel abroad to seek an opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm?"
Looking at the calm faced young man before him, Liu Bai asked curiously.
"Yes, Senior. I feel that my cultivation has already reached a bottleneck. If I want to make another breakthrough, then I can only rely on opportunity now..."
As the date of his journey to the Buddha Ancient Clan drew closer and closer, Mu Chen had already become impatient to search for a breakthrough opportunity.
And coincidentally, he happened to possess exactly such an opportunity in his hands, so naturally Mu Chen would not let it go.
Liu Bai nodded. This kid was probably preparing to head toward White Dragon Continent.
Thinking this in his heart, Liu Bai did not stop him.
After all, this opportunity belonged to Mu Chen himself. With Liu Bai's current status and strength, there was no need for him to snatch such things away.
In fact, because he knew the plot, Liu Bai even intended to help him a bit. After all, the current Mu Chen did not possess the tokens left behind by Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor. So if he truly encountered that Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor and the severed hand incident again, Mu Chen would probably die on the spot.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Bai directly took out a five colored Array disk and handed it to Mu Chen.
"This Array disk is an Array artifact that I specially refined previously. Inscribed upon it is a Grandmaster Array, the Heavenly River World Purification Array. If you encounter danger, you may directly activate it. At that time, even Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereigns could be resisted temporarily."
Although in the original story Mu Chen had only encountered an avatar formed from a single hand of the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, and it was ultimately easily resolved by Martial Ancestor's spiritual energy avatar, its combat strength was probably still at the Immortal Grade level.
For the newly advanced Mu Chen, that was already a fatal crisis.
However, with Liu Bai's Array disk, even if it could not truly destroy an avatar of a Heavenly Demon Emperor, it could still buy enough time for Mu Chen and save his life without issue.
Looking at the Array disk in his hand, especially sensing the terrifying fluctuations contained within it, Mu Chen momentarily did not know what to say. His heart was filled only with gratitude.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Nodding heavily, Mu Chen departed with a grateful heart after Liu Bai waved his hand.
It had to be said that compared to many protagonists, the protagonists written by Heavenly Silkworm Potato all still possessed a conscience. Toward those who had helped them, these "protagonists" truly knew how to repay kindness.
Less than a month after Mu Chen departed, Liu Bai finally met the members of the Nine Nether Clan who had hurriedly arrived. And the visitor was once again an old acquaintance, none other than Elder Tianque of the Nine Nether Clan!
"Nine Nether Clan's Tianque greets Palace Master!"
Upon seeing Liu Bai again, Elder Tianque behaved far more respectfully than before.
There was no helping it. Once one entered the Heavenly Sovereign realm, the two parties no longer belonged to the same world. Regardless of how good their relationship might once have been, the proper respect still had to be shown.
This was the reverence the weak gave to the strong, and also the rule of the Great Thousand World.
However, Liu Bai naturally would not care about such things. He directly waved his hand, and a stream of spiritual energy lifted Elder Tianque back upright before he could finish bowing.
"There is no need for these formalities. Elder Tianque your earlier message said that Jiu You is in trouble. Quickly tell me the details!"
