"What do you want to do?"

"What do I want? To see if you Heavenly Demons are qualified to collaborate with me," Xu Zimei said.

This response left the Heavenly Demon astonished for quite a while.

"You dare to collaborate with us?"

It's known that the reputation of the Heavenly Demons is almost universally cast in the role of villains in every world.

Not to mention collaborating; they're already at the level of being the rats that everyone wants to beat.

It's the first time someone wanted to collaborate with them.

"Why collaborate with us?" the Heavenly Demon asked.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend,"

Xu Zimei said.

"You want to invade the Nine Domains, but the Heavenly Dao does not agree.

I wish to transcend the restraints of the Heavenly Dao, so naturally, I am also an enemy of it.

If we join forces, there's much to be gained."

Upon hearing Xu Zimei's words, the Heavenly Demon also fell into deep thought.

One must say, this idea is very tempting.

But he still asked, "What can you offer us Heavenly Demons?"

"I am about to head to the core land of the Nine Domains.

By then, I will establish a massive force, causing immense trouble for the Heavenly Dao from within.

And you, Outer Realm Demons, can take the opportunity to attack the Nine Domains."

Though Xu Zimei said this, he actually knew in his heart.

The Outer Realm Demons are merely tools for his use.

It is simply impossible to let them share the Nine Domains with him. .

And for the Outer Realm Demons, perhaps they hold the same thought as Xu Zimei.

"I agree with you, but to show sincerity, you must release me first," the Heavenly Demon said.

"Even if it is to show sincerity, it should be your Heavenly Demons showing it, not me," Xu Zimei waved his hand.

A prisoner has no right to negotiate terms with him.

Moreover, how the collaboration between him and the Heavenly Demons would proceed, or if they could trust each other, was another matter entirely.

There was no way he would release this Outer Realm Demon.

"Now answer me, can you contact other Heavenly Demons?"

"There are some ways, but after so many years, I don't know if they still work," the Heavenly Demon replied.

"It must work, you should understand, your fate depends entirely on this," Xu Zimei said.

"Besides, I'm going to use this Demon Stone.

I'll find you another place to reside."

"My remnant soul dwells within the Demon Stone.

It's just barely able to survive.

If I leave the Demon Stone, I fear my soul will dissipate," the Heavenly Demon quickly said.

"Then before your soul dissipates, find a contact for your Heavenly Demons," Xu Zimei said calmly.

He wasn't about to haggle with the other party.

Saying this, Xu Zimei waved his large hand.

He randomly took out a treasure from his possessions.

He had many treasures, many of which he no longer needed.

This was a shield.

Xu Zimei said, "Enter this shield and leave the Outer Realm Demon Stone for me."

The Heavenly Demon hesitated for a long time.

Ultimately, it conceded.

Only to see that the Evil Demonic Qi surged and finally transformed into a black stream of light, surging into the shield.

And Xu Zimei began to inspect the Outer Realm Demon Stone.

After confirming there were no issues,

He began to sit cross-legged, meditating.

Condensing the Primordial Spirit is a particularly important matter.

Likewise, it is a necessary path to the Taoist Fruit.

The larger your Primordial Spirit, the stronger and more vast the Rule Power you can control.

Thus, many people generally judge a person's power by the size of their Primordial Spirit.

Above Xu Zimei's head, the Silent Annihilation Taoist Fruit began to appear.

Just as he was about to condense it,

His expression suddenly changed.

In a flash, he was already in the courtyard of the Jade Maiden Palace.

Because just then, he felt the restrictions he had set up being destroyed.

At this moment, as he had just appeared,

The door was pushed open with a palm.

Only to see Liu Xuer looking a bit embarrassed as she walked in, and beside her was a woman.

This woman's age seemed a bit older, but not old, rather carrying a mature charm.

Her aura was extremely strong,

Enveloped by layers of icy rules.

"Leave the Jade Maiden Palace," the woman looked at Xu Zimei and directly issued an order to leave without saying much.

"Young Master Xu, this is our Jade Maiden Palace's ancestor," Liu Xuer quickly explained.

Then she turned her head again.

"North Polar Ancestor, he truly is my savior, not harboring ulterior motives."

"Xuer, have you forgotten the rules of our Jade Maiden Palace?" the North Polar Ancestor said indifferently.

"I haven't forgotten, but I'm not someone who is ungrateful either.

He saved me, naturally, I won't abandon him to die," Liu Xuer quickly said.

The North Polar Ancestor turned her head.

Her gaze locked onto Xu Zimei as if wanting to see through him.

Xu Zimei felt the pressure.

The icy rules surrounding her seemed to want to freeze his bloodline.

He smiled slightly.

And said, "Now that the Great Wilderness is on the brink of destruction, why be so obstinate?"

"The matters of the Great Wilderness do not threaten my Jade Maiden Palace," the North Polar Ancestor said indifferently.

The Jade Maiden Palace is located on the Origin Desolate Island.

Even if the Great Wilderness perishes, without special means, they can't find the location of the Origin Desolate Island.

So she could remain unyielding.

"As far as I know, the Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace had previously submitted to Situ Mo.

Do you think she might tell him the way to find the Jade Maiden Palace?" Xu Zimei asked in return.

Upon hearing this, the North Polar Ancestor's expression changed slightly.

This was also what she feared the most.

It was and is the entire Jade Maiden Palace's greatest fear.

So the Jade Maiden Palace has a rule.

Disciples are not allowed to leave the palace at will, only for special reasons.

This is out of fear that these disciples might spread the way out of the palace.

The North Polar Ancestor's face showed indecision.

Finally, she snorted coldly.

Saying, "This is a matter for our Jade Maiden Palace."

"Don't be stubborn. Now is a matter of life and death for the Great Wilderness.

We need cooperation, not temper tantrums," Xu Zimei said.

"I'll be here to heal for a few days.

Think it over.

When my injuries are healed, if you still don't want me, I'll leave."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuer tugged at the North Polar Ancestor's sleeve, showing a bit of pleading.

The North Polar Ancestor snorted once more.

Ultimately, she left.

She knew the current priority was not Xu Zimei.

But rather the safety of the Jade Maiden Palace itself.

It was also her poor judgement, choosing such a Palace Master.

Possibly leading the Jade Maiden Palace to destruction.

She decided to contact the other four major powers first.

......

"Don't mind, Master Ancestor is just... just...," Liu Xuer tried to explain in the courtyard.

But she couldn't find an excuse.

"Alright, I understand some things," Xu Zimei waved his hand.

"You don't need to worry about me, once my injuries heal, I'll leave."

He said and then coughed heavily a few times.

Liu Xuer seemed a bit worried.

After chatting for a while, Xu Zimei proposed to rest.

By now, the night was gradually approaching.

Xu Zimei prepared to explore the entire Jade Maiden Palace by night.

He knew there were definitely secrets here.

But he wasn't concerned with others, only wanting to find the Barren Tree.

Nightfall enveloped everything, and darkness descended.

The entire Origin Desolate Island also quieted down.
