Chapter 859: Make Up For What I Lack Through Hard Work
When Chu Liang made that request, it actually came as a relief to the major figures present.
The Mount Shu Sect had long carried itself with confidence, even without a legendary artifact to its name. Now that it held one, its standing among the immortal sects was more secure than ever.
With the fall of the Penglai Supreme Sect, the Mount Shu Sect had begun to quietly reassert itself—once again taking up the role of elder brother among the Divine Nine.
Chu Liang was the key figure responsible for bringing both Red Cotton Peak and the Vessel of God into the hands of the Mount Shu Sect. With contributions like that, he could no longer be treated like an ordinary prodigy of the Divine Nine. If he had chosen not to cooperate with the operation, no one could have forced him.
Would they really dare to unite and attack Mount Shu over it?
The Demon God was indeed a serious matter, but within the Divine Nine, there were more sects that supported the Mount Shu Sect.
Chu Liang agreeing to cooperate had already saved everyone a great deal of trouble. If the Mount Shu Sect had chosen to negotiate a few terms, the rest would have gladly accepted.
But the Mount Shu Sect asked for nothing and showed great generosity for the sake of humanity.
Chu Liang, too, made no other requests. All he requested were some Dao essence seeds. While rare, these seeds weren't particularly expensive. Even if they gave Chu Liang one, it wouldn't guarantee that he would comprehend it. To grasp so many Daos at the seventh realm was something even the gods would find impossible.
In the end, it cost them nothing at all.
And so, everyone happily handed over their Dao essence seeds. By now, Chu Liang had built up a sizable stockpile of uncomprehended Dao seeds.
