Chapter 499 Peace Talks Have Been Successful
The return journey was uneventful. By the time they arrived back in Heavenly Punishment City, Rong Xuan had already refined Jiu Meng's body.
Jiu Meng's body was crafted based on the portrait she provided, and it is exactly the same as the one in the painting.
Jiu Meng was very satisfied and immediately took her new body back to her residence to try it out.
When she reappeared, her angelic appearance was exactly the same as the person in the painting.
In fact, Jiu Meng's demonic body was somewhat similar to the body Rong Xuan had created, with silver hair and light-colored eyes.
Jiu Meng explained that the longer she resided in the demon's body, the closer her appearance would become to her original form.
Therefore, every time she changed her demonic body, she lied and claimed that it was her own descendant.
Rong Xuan really helped her a lot this time.
The puppet can also be considered a kind of magical artifact, and its nature is closer to the light core that she originally resided in.
Since Jiu Meng agreed to leave with them, Yun Yici agreed to let her return to the light core to recuperate first, and then enter her body when needed.
Nine Dreams was very grateful and silently returned the light core.
According to Yun Yici's guess, once she leaves the Demon Realm, the demons will gradually stop being affected by her and return to their original state.
The thousand-year oath was made in the hope that it could restore the balance between the two races.
As for Heavenly Punishment City, it had already become a mere shell of its former self when it was abandoned by a large number of demons.
The Emperor has already spoken to Gu Ruo, instructing him to take over the entire Demon Realm. If he doesn't perform well, someone else will be made Demon King.
When Gu Ruo left, he experienced both immense joy and profound sorrow.
To his delight, he finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish of unifying the demon realm.
Tragically, this demon king existed in name only, his life in the hands of others.
But his survival instinct forced him to comply with the emperor's decree.
Fortunately, his capable subordinates were also brought under the control of the emperor.
Otherwise, his subordinates would be the first to rebel against him.
During the time that Yun Yici and her group returned to Tianfa City to pick up Rong Xuan, the border had also changed considerably.
The cultivators remained vigilant and did not weaken their defensive forces deployed along the border. In fact, the patrolling disciples were even more diligent than before.
But the demons never invaded human territory again.
After returning to his demon city, Gu Ruo sent high-ranking demons to connect with the human race.
This high-ranking demon was originally a member of Jiu Meng.
The teachings Jiu Meng has imparted over the years have not been entirely useless.
The demons under Jiu Meng's command are more like humans in temperament, and they have never eaten any "spiritual flesh," so they look like humans.
The main content of the exchange is the trade of various resources that the demons originally needed to plunder.
The sect leaders were originally excited to return to their camps to discuss and allocate sect resources, but unexpectedly, Yun Yici was nowhere to be found at this crucial moment.
Yun Yici's departure left the leaders of various sects somewhat uneasy.
After all, the reputation of the demon race is practically zero in their eyes.
Xi Huan was urged to contact Yun Yici many times.
Yun Yici simply told them to rest assured and list the resources they needed. She said that both sides needed time to prepare, and she would come when the formal transaction took place.
This has stumped the human cultivator once again.
The monsters are fierce and cruel, and only obey the demon race. Even if you bring them back, you cannot tame them.
The demonic herbs that grow in the demon realm all contain demonic energy, and human cultivators cannot use them.
Furthermore, all of these demonic artifacts are stained with human lives and blood; if you obtain and use them, you will be branded as an evil sect member.
To put it bluntly, the Demon Realm is a barren wasteland, and human cultivators really have nothing to look up to there.
If the Demon Realm has a wide variety of rare and precious materials, why would the Demon Race be eyeing their human realm?
The leaders of each sect were prepared to exchange some insignificant food for a thousand years of peace, and they would not give away any of the key treasures that could be used to refine magical artifacts.
After listening to the sect leaders' predicament, Yun Yici smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Let me think about what the Demon Realm has that humans can use."
As soon as the communication talisman was cut off, the emperor issued a decree saying that he could help.
In the past, he built a demon palace in the Xuanling Domain, and he would steal things from other demon lords.
In addition, he had many servants in the Demon Palace, and he had raised those human cultivators for nearly a hundred years, so he knew what things in the Demon Realm were useful to human cultivators.
Yun Yici then handed the matter over to the Emperor.
Xie Qianjue focused on his journey and arrived at the border between humans and demons on the agreed date.
The list drafted by the emperor was also dictated by Yun Yici and passed on to Xi Huan.
The sect leaders also believed Yun Yici, so they reported the same thing to the Demon Clan.
The most common type is a black magic stone, which contains very little demonic energy and is not even worth considering by low-level demons.
In fact, after being tempered with strange fire, the demonic energy can be eliminated, and further tempering can extract a large amount of spiritual energy for people to cultivate.
Both parties are very satisfied with this.
The spirit beasts sent by each sect are meat beasts that each sect has raised for several generations specifically to feed its disciples, and their intelligence is closer to that of ordinary beasts.
Because it was fed spiritual herbs from a young age, its flesh and blood contain abundant spiritual power.
Unlike lower-ranking demons who eat raw meat and drink blood, higher-ranking demons know how to enjoy food.
"These spirit beasts raised by humans all have delicate skin and tender flesh."
"Yes, Lord Jiu Meng used to teach us how to eat magical beasts. Not only was the meat of those magical beasts tough and sour, but it also had a rotten smell."
"I wish we could raise these spirit beasts too."
The leaders of each sect kept their eyes straight ahead, waiting for the handover of the items prepared by both sides to be completed.
The first transaction went very smoothly under the witness of Yun Yici.
The demons drove the spirit beasts they had acquired back to the Demon Capital, leaving behind a piece of black jade token for Yun Yici before they left.
"The nearest Demon City was burned down by the Emperor's decree. If you want to make any more exchanges in the future, please use this decree to contact us."
Yun Yici nodded slightly and handed the token in his hand to the sect leaders, headed by Sect Leader Zhang.
After the demons had gone far away, the disciples guarding the border finally came to their senses.
"Does this mean we no longer have to stay here? Can we go back now?"
Upon seeing this, the leaders of each sect all smiled.
After discussing with the other sect leaders for a while, Zhang Qiuzhuo announced, "It was originally planned that the rotation would take several more years."
“This year is different from previous years; we will be sending newly transferred disciples from the sect.”
"When the new disciples arrive, you will be responsible for escorting these demonic treasures back to the sect first."
The news immediately caused all the disciples present to cheer with joy.
The peace talks between humans and demons have been reached, and they no longer need to worry about the day, or even the next moment, when they or their familiar fellow disciples will die a violent death!
