Chapter 255: Successful Negotiations

“Dad, this bird claims to be an envoy of the beast tribe and wants to see you.”

That day, Hua Rumeng brought a giant bird-like beast, at the Great Ascension stage, to report to Li Xiaojun.

Li Xiaojun looked at the bird beast and noticed it resembled a crow, but it was many times larger.

“Junior Xuanming pays respect to you, Senior.” The crow-like giant bird quickly bowed toward Li Xiaojun with respect.

It sensed the powerful pressure emanating from Li Xiaojun, so it could only treat him with deference.

If Li Xiaojun took a disliking to it and killed it, it would lose its life.

“You are the envoy sent by the beast tribe?” Li Xiaojun asked.

“Yes, Senior. I was sent on Lord Qiongqi’s orders to negotiate with you.” Xuanming the bird replied respectfully.

“Negotiate with me? About what?” Li Xiaojun inquired lightly.

“Senior, Lord Qiongqi said that if you are willing to coexist peacefully with our beast tribe, then we will give you all the land you currently control.” Xuanming said to Li Xiaojun.

“The land I control right now? This probably isn’t even one percent of the Daizong Secret Realm, right? You think this little bit of land will appease me?” Li Xiaojun frowned.

“Senior,” Xuanming quickly replied, “I am merely a liaison sent by Lord Qiongqi. If you are willing to negotiate with our beast tribe, Lord Qiongqi will send a formal negotiation envoy.”

Hearing this, Li Xiaojun thought for a moment and said, “Since you cannot make decisions, let those who can come. If the beast tribe is willing to allocate half of the secret realm’s territory to the Human Race, I would be willing to discuss it.”

Li Xiaojun did not intend to fight the beast tribe to the bitter end.

It was clear that he alone could not eradicate all the beast tribe creatures while they were hiding.

So, instead of being on guard against their sneak attacks every day, it was better to negotiate with the beast tribe and seize the land.

Once the land was secured, the Human Race could openly acquire vast amounts of cultivation resources in the secret realm.

Soon, the beast tribe sent another negotiation representative.

This time, a Heavenly Immortal Beast came, indicating that the beast tribe was taking this matter seriously.

Li Xiaojun did not wish to deal with them directly, so he arranged for his daughter Hua Rumeng to negotiate.

Half a month later, the negotiations between the Human Race and the beast tribe concluded.

The beast tribe was willing to allocate one-third of the territory to the Human Race, which fell significantly short of the half Li Xiaojun initially requested.

However, Li Xiaojun had always planned to ask for a high price, knowing that the beast tribe would never allow the Human Race to gain half of the secret realm’s territory.

After the negotiations ended, the territories were quickly divided.

Once the division was complete, the beast tribe would soon withdraw from the Human Race’s territory.

“Dad, we did it!”

Hua Rumeng was extremely excited after the successful negotiations.

One-third of the secret realm’s territory was unimaginable for her.

Such a vast land would produce incredible cultivation resources each year.

As Li Xiaojun’s daughter, the benefits they would gain were also beyond imagination.

Besides benefits, there was also power.

As Li Xiaojun’s daughters, their power in the secret realm was incredibly significant.

Moreover, Hua Rumeng and Chu Qiaoxi noticed that their dad had little desire for power.

So even if they established a force in the secret realm, it was likely that the ones managing it would be the two of them.

…

After the negotiations ended, the beast tribe did not go back on their word. They quickly had countless beast tribe creatures withdraw from the Human Race’s territory.

Once the beast tribe left, many city lords of the Human Race cities realized that they actually had a True Immortal powerhouse in the secret realm.

Moreover, this powerhouse made the beast tribe creatures fearful and forced them to yield such a large territory.

Soon, countless Human Race cities began to voluntarily ally with Fire Beacon City.

Some people from cities not within the Human Race’s territory also began to migrate over.

“Rumeng, this is the traction formation. You should set up this formation in each city. In the future, when the Human Race enters the secret realm, they will directly appear on top of the formation.”

That day, Li Xiaojun handed a formation plan to Hua Rumeng.

This formation was precisely what Li Xiaojun had obtained from other secret realms.

For example, when he entered the Xumi Mountain Secret Realm, he appeared directly on an altar.

In fact, that altar was equipped with a traction formation.

Learning that such a valuable item as the traction formation existed, Hua Rumeng was immediately thrilled.

“Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll set up the formations as soon as possible.”

“Okay, from now on, the management of the Human Race here will depend on you and Chu Qiaoxi. I have no interest in managing these.”

“Alright, Dad, I will definitely not let you down.” Hua Rumeng quickly promised.

“Mm, I can use my bloodline power to build a communication bridge with you. You just need to agree to let me open a space for you, and then we can directly communicate through bloodline power.” Li Xiaojun said to Hua Rumeng.

“What do I need to do?”

“Like this…”

Under Li Xiaojun’s guidance, soon, Hua Rumeng and Li Xiaojun established a connection.

In the future, Hua Rumeng could call Li Xiaojun from anywhere, just like his other daughters.

“If you encounter any danger in the future, use this to call me, and I can come to your aid immediately,” Li Xiaojun told Hua Rumeng.

“Thank you, Dad. If I ever encounter danger, I will definitely ask you for help.”

Experiencing the effects of the bloodline space, Hua Rumeng was incredibly excited.

She never expected that her father had such amazing abilities.

Did this mean she would no longer have to fear others targeting her?

If she faced someone or a beast tribe creature she couldn’t handle, she could summon her biological father directly.

With her biological father’s True Immortal cultivation level, what problem could he not solve?

After connecting with Hua Rumeng’s bloodline, Li Xiaojun then connected with Chu Qiaoxi’s bloodline.

Once he finished these connections, Li Xiaojun felt a bit bored, so he left the secret realm.

With two daughters in the secret realm, he could teleport in at any time.

Therefore, after leaving the secret realm, he did not have to worry about needing one hundred years to enter again.

After leaving the secret realm, Li Xiaojun thought for a moment and decided to teleport to the Cultivation Alliance to take a look.

Li Xiaojun directly pinpointed the location of his daughter Li Ziyao and chose to teleport.

When Li Xiaojun emerged from the spatial passage, he did not alert Li Ziyao.

Li Xiaojun’s body was hidden in the space, and his divine sense was concealed by the system.

So as long as Li Xiaojun did not want to reveal himself, Li Ziyao, with her Late Human Celestial realm, would be almost unable to detect him.

After elevating Liu Hongxia’s spirit roots to upper innate divine demons, Li Xiaojun had similarly upgraded the spirit roots of his other daughters, including Li Ziyao.

With the upper innate divine demon backing, Li Ziyao’s cultivation speed increased dramatically, allowing her to progress from the early stage of human immortal to the late stage of human immortal in just a few hundred years.
