Mo Zu has arrived.
Chen Fan took one look at the other party and understood their condition.
Dao injury, on the verge of death.
Yet the aura of a fifth-tier being was immensely strong.
"Fellow Daoist, please."
Mo Zu forced a smile.
With a flip of his hand, the power of the world surged, forming a dao net that enveloped downwards.
Chen Fan didn't move, merely glancing at it.
Such a dao net could be torn apart by him with a flick of his wrist.
Mo Zu clasped his hands and said, "On the order of the Realm Master, I have come to discuss cooperation with you, fellow Daoist."
"Alright."
Nodding, he waited for the other party to continue.
"Fellow Daoist, you should be from the world before the Great Yu Realm, right?"
"Yes."
"Then it's simple. If we join forces with the Misty Realm, we can launch a surprise attack on the Great Yu Realm..."
"Mm."
Chen Fan spoke little, either nodding or shaking his head.
He was waiting for the other party to reach the crucial point.
Mo Zu also noticed that the person before him disliked excessive talking.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, "If I may be so bold, how many fifth-tier and fourth-tier Heavenly Emperors are there left in the Great Yu Realm?"
Only Heavenly Emperors were worthy of their attention.
Emperor Venerables were mere cannon fodder.
Chen Fan replied, "Apart from the sixth-tier Emperor Yu, the current Great Yu Realm has only one fifth-tier and eight fourth-tier..."
Mo Zu's eyebrows shot up, his excitement impossible to conceal.
"Excellent."
Mo Zu exclaimed, "Then, fellow Daoist, how many people can we deploy for this battle?"
"One fifth-tier and one fourth-tier."
Not bad. The Samsara Realm had only recently broken through to the fourth tier, and its subordinates had not yet been promoted.
It required time.
A flicker of surprise crossed Mo Zu's eyes, "How strong is the fifth-tier?"
"Can contend with a sixth-tier."
"..." Mo Zu.
Sizing up Chen Fan from head to toe, Mo Zu's expression grew even more solemn. "May I ask, fellow Daoist, from which tier of world do you hail?"
"Fourth-tier."
Hoo.
Mo Zu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fourth-tier, that was manageable.
Mo Zu pondered for a moment, then said, "Our Misty Realm will contribute the Realm Master and myself, two fifth-tier beings, and ten fourth-tier beings, with countless Emperor Venerables remaining... but how will the spoils of war be divided in the end?"
"Split fifty-fifty."
On this matter, Chen Fan would not back down.
He only needed the spatial boots, while the Samsara Realm required the world power of the Great Yu Realm.
Mo Zu shook his head, "Fellow Daoist, you jest. The division of spoils is determined by the number of combatants. After all, our Misty Realm is contributing more, while you, fellow Daoist... only have two people..."
"How about this..."
Chen Fan did not want to waste time and directly stated his proposal: "Let's use the fourth-tier as a unit and count heads. A fifth-tier will count as two fourth-tiers, and a sixth-tier... will count as ten. Finally, we will tally the numbers and decide the division."
"Agreed."
Mo Zu agreed without a second thought.
By this calculation, the Misty Realm held a greater advantage.
They only had two individuals. If they could only kill two people in the end, the Misty Realm's gains would be substantial.
Of course, there would be mutual vigilance in the end.
In the chaos, there was no room for sentiment.
Interests were paramount.
Seeing the other party agree, Chen Fan added, "The people each side slays will be their respective spoils of war, and the other side shall not snatch them."
"Agreed."
A smile appeared on Mo Zu's face.
"That's good. When do we act?" Chen Fan also smiled.
"I need to report to the Realm Master."
"As soon as possible."
Chen Fan stated, "In fifteen minutes, I will bring my people to wait for your news here."
"Alright."
Chen Fan turned and left.
He sensed the aura of the Samsara Realm, which was approaching.
He needed to call out the Immortal Emperor who was in seclusion.
Mo Zu also turned and departed.
...
Chen Fan walked out of the Misty Realm Domain, and in the distance, a world of flowing life and death was opening its way through the chaos.
Wisps of chaotic energy continuously seeped into the Samsara Realm, providing the power for its cultivation.
"Let's go in."
Bringing Chu Lao Mo and Kuang Di, he entered the Samsara Realm.
"Senior Immortal Emperor."
As soon as he entered, Chen Fan descended into Sword City.
Sword City, the only city in the Samsara Realm.
The original residents of Sword City and those who later joined the Samsara Realm had all integrated with the Great Dao of the Samsara Realm.
Everyone was cultivating within the great stars.
Naturally, Sword City had become the resting place of the Immortal Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor opened his eyes and walked out of a simple room, "What is it?"
His calm tone made it seem as if he were the master of heaven and earth.
Chen Fan paid no mind and directly stated, "We have found the Great Yu Realm, and I hope you can help us fight."
"Emperor Yu?"
"Yes."
"I am not his opponent."
After the battle in the Immortal Realm before, the Immortal Emperor had already judged the combat strength of both sides.
"That was before..."
Chen Fan smiled, "Currently, Emperor Yu is suppressing a riotous Great Dao. With his unrestrained turmoil, he is not at full strength. As long as you can tie him down..."
"...Alright."
The Immortal Emperor agreed but had something more to say, "Although I am borrowing your world to wander the chaos, I am not your subordinate. I can fight, but I will not do so for free."
"Of course."
Chen Fan had not intended to use a top-tier fifth-tier Heavenly Emperor for free.
He said, "Tell me what you want."
"I want one million Great Dao Crystals."
"Great Dao Crystals?"
A new term, Chen Fan was puzzled.
Beside him, Kuang Di quickly explained, "By extracting chaotic energy and cleansing it with one's own Great Dao, the condensed core is called a Great Dao Crystal. Emperor Venerables can condense them. A first-tier Emperor Venerable can condense one per day, containing immense energy.
The chaos is boundless, and each world has its own currency, which is too mixed.
Therefore, Great Dao Crystals are equivalent to the universal currency in the chaos."
"Oh."
Chen Fan nodded.
He had just entered the chaos and was unaware of many things.
He calculated briefly: a first-tier Emperor Venerable could condense one Great Dao Crystal per day.
A second-tier Emperor Venerable, two per day.
A third-tier Emperor Venerable, about four per day.
At the Heavenly Emperor level, it was not so pitiful; they could condense about ten per day. The stronger the cultivation, the faster they condensed.
This meant that, calculated based on Chen Fan's fourth-tier Emperor Venerable status, one million Great Dao Crystals would require a hundred thousand days, over two hundred years.
Emperor Venerables had lifespans of twenty thousand years, so two hundred years was not much.
But which Emperor Venerable would not cultivate and instead solely focus on condensing Great Dao Crystals?
Chen Fan asked, "What if we cannot gather them all?"
The Samsara Realm had not a single Great Dao Crystal.
"It's fine."
The Immortal Emperor said dismissively, "In the future, we can capture a batch of Emperor Venerable prisoners and have them condense Great Dao Crystals every day. Any attribute will do."
"Agreed."
With that said, Chen Fan's side had no issues.
One million Great Dao Crystals sounded like a lot, but this "lot" was only relative to the Samsara Realm.
The Immortal Realm was special; with its Realm Master missing, the domain could only exist in one place, a form of isolationist existence.
Other worlds were different; any given world had existed for tens of thousands of years.
For tens of thousands of years, accumulating billions of Great Dao Crystals would be like playing a game.
Perhaps by conquering the Great Yu Realm this time, they could obtain enough Great Dao Crystals.
"Then let's go."
The Immortal Emperor was also straightforward.
Once the price was settled, the battle could commence.
"Good."
Chen Fan nodded and then said to the several Emperor Venerables beside him, "You all come along. As long as you are careful, you should gain something."
