How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Many powerful figures present were shaken to their core, including two mighty beings from Yan Country at the Guiyuan Realm.

Lv Tiezu was actually planning to kill someone at this critical juncture, which was beyond their expectations.

Firstly, this was the highest meeting of the Three Kingdoms, and he intended to kill a participant.

Secondly, Chen Yu held possession of the Moon Spirit Ore Mother; killing Chen Yu would naturally hand the spoils over to Lv Tiezu. But then Lv Tiezu would inevitably be accused of disrespect, provocation, and the sabotage of the meeting.

In time, even if Lv Tiezu obtained the Moon Spirit Ore Mother, the others could band together and use these reasons to pressure him, exploiting his interests.

Certainly, Lv Tiezu was no fool. He understood all this, yet he was insistent on killing Chen Yu.

However, Chen Yu, who sat among them, was the most at ease person there.

Facing Lv Tiezu's sky-shattering Sword Intent and pressure, he seemed unaffected, relaxed and complacent, as though unafraid of Lv Tiezu.

Elder Gongyang's heart was somewhat frustrated. If Chen Yu would say something pleasing now, pretend to be pitiful and beg for mercy, he could continue to speak on his behalf.

But with Chen Yu's current attitude, he was at a loss for words.

Boom!

Suddenly, Lv Tiezu reached out his hand, and the air seemed to solidify as terrible True Yuan fluctuations spread out.

But just then,

"Stop!"

A sharp reprimand came from behind.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of gorgeous and ethereal sword light descended, suppressing a portion of the Sword Intent pressure on Lv Tiezu.

Soon after, Elder Duanmu and Ye Luofeng arrived inside the great hall.

Before Lv Tiezu could speak, Elder Duanmu quickly said, "What is the meaning of this, Lv Tiezu? Do you wish to kill Chen Yu and monopolize the Moon Spirit Ore Mother?"

"Hmph, I merely seek vengeance!" Lv Tiezu snorted coldly.

"Chen Yu is one of the participants of this highest meeting. If you seek revenge, wait until the meeting is over!" Elder Duanmu said firmly.

As Iron Sword Sect was a branch under Lingjian Sect, she had no need to be polite towards Lv Tiezu.

"Moreover, Chen Yu is an honored guest of our Lingjian Sect. Should he encounter trouble, our Lingjian Sect will surely lend a hand!" Elder Duanmu added.

The meaning of her words was clear: to kill Chen Yu would mean to make an enemy of her.

Inside the great hall, many senior officials looked towards Elder Duanmu, puzzled as to why she was so protective of Chen Yu. Was it because of the distribution benefits related to the Moon Spirit Ore Mother?

Elder Gongyang's face showed joy. With Elder Duanmu stepping forward, it was unlikely that Lv Tiezu would dare to act foolishly.

"Hmph!" Lv Tiezu's expression turned to one of ashen fury, staring daggers at Chen Yu before finally turning his head and flinging his sleeves, flying to a seat up front.

Both Elder Duanmu and Elder Gongyang stood with Chen Yu.

And the timing was poor.

If Lv Tiezu insisted on taking action, he would suffer immense losses, and success wasn't even guaranteed.

Thus, he could only swallow his anger.

Soon, the Bone Demon Palace Master and the Absolute Yin Ancestor arrived.

Lastly, a representative of the Purple Cloud Palace of Qi Country, a short elder, drifted in.

"All are present. The highest meeting of the Three Kingdoms shall now begin!"

At the top, the hoarse and deep voice of the Absolute Yin Ancestor slowly rang out.

Although the highest meeting only had the Absolute Yin Ancestor as the Alliance Hierarch of the Three Kingdoms, other powerful Guiyuan Realm beings each represented the intent of their respective forces.

Moreover, if all three Alliance Hierarchs gathered here for the meeting and the Snow Mountain Tribe took the opportunity to attack, it would be disastrous.

"The main topic of this meeting is about the cultivation of the Moon Spirit Ore Vein using the Moon Spirit Ore Mother."

The Bone Demon Palace Master stood up and spoke. "First, let us discuss the plan for resource distribution!"

Resource distribution was of utmost interest to everyone present.

And all discussions centered around it.

"Lingjian Sect is willing to offer a Low Grade Essence Stone Ore Vein to cultivate the Moon Spirit Ore Vein!" Elder Duanmu announced.

Burying the Moon Spirit Ore Mother alone to naturally cultivate the ore vein would take at least a hundred years.

But using an Essence Stone Vein as a base to cultivate the Moon Spirit Ore Vein would significantly shorten the time needed.

This was also why places with abundant Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi often had richer resources.

Elder Mao took in a sharp breath.

An Essence Stone Vein was equivalent to a continuous production of Essence Stones, its value was self-evident.

The emergence of every Essence Stone Vein would lead to fierce competition among the major powers.

And here, Lingjian Sect, right from the start, offered an Essence Stone Vein.

Of course, the more Lingjian Sect contributed, the more they would ultimately demand.

"So, how much of the resources does Lingjian Sect want?" inquired the diminutive elder of the Purple Cloud Palace.

"Thirty percent," Elder Duanmu replied.

"Lingjian Sect takes thirty percent and expects the rest of us to share the remaining seventy?" The red-garbed maiden of the Water Moon Sect chuckled lightly, obviously disagreeing.

"Gentlemen, the imperial family of Yan Country has secret records that include information on the Moon Spirit Ore Mother and also a method that can accelerate the formation of the Moon Spirit Ore Vein," said a man in purple armor from Yan Country, standing up and startling everyone present.

Most of the major forces present could afford to provide an Essence Stone Vein.

But Yan Country's method to speed up the formation of the Moon Spirit Ore Mother was unique.

Following that, some major sect powers began to state their contributions, all vying for a greater share of the returns.

And the owner of the Moon Spirit Ore Mother, Chen Yu, sat off to the side as if nothing concerned him.

"The combined efforts of the Three Kingdoms to cultivate an ore vein makes it much easier."

Chen Yu smiled.

Naturally forming a mineral vein, requires a hundred years or even longer.

And by cultivating on a Primordial Stone vein, one could shorten the time, if there are specific methods, the cultivation time could be further reduced.

Secondly, many forces of the Three Kingdoms would dedicate manpower and resources.

A mineral vein could birth in an extremely short time!

When nearly everyone in the great hall was done arguing, Chen Yu suddenly stood up.

"Everyone, I hope to cultivate this vein in Chu Country,"

As soon as Chen Yu spoke, the hall instantly quieted down.

Many people looked towards Chen Yu, their brows furrowing, expressions of contempt on their faces.

Which person present wasn't someone of formidable strength or renowned fame? What qualifications did a junior like you have to negotiate such a matter? How could you lack such self-awareness?

Of course, people like the Bone Demon Palace Master, the red-garbed woman, Elder Gongyang, and others were very pleased.

Who among those present wouldn't hope the vein was cultivated in their own country?

For in cultivating the vein, they would also be improving the environment of that territory.

"It would be even better if it could be cultivated near the Yunyue Sect!"

Chen Yu spoke again.

This time, not a single person in the room had a good expression on their face.

Even Elder Gongyang's heart was filled with anxiety, although he too hoped for such an outcome, it was merely a wishful thought.

Amongst the many powers present, the Yunyue Sect was considered the lowest, and Elder Gongyang understood the principle that "the indiscreet possession of a jade invites trouble."

"Young man, aren't your demands a bit too much?"

Another armored man from Yan Country barked in a low voice.

In his view, Chen Yu was merely the owner of the Moon Spirit Ore Mother, and when the Moon Spirit Ore Vein was cultivated, it would suffice to just give him a small share.

"I haven't finished speaking. Of the Moon Spirit Ore Vein's distribution, I want thirty percent!"

Chen Yu made another shocking statement.

This time, everyone's gaze towards Chen Yu changed, wondering if there was something wrong with him.

Previously, when Lingjian Sect wanted to monopolize thirty percent, everyone disagreed, but now, Chen Yu alone wanted thirty percent—what an appetite!

"It's just good luck that you obtained the Moon Spirit Ore Mother. When the Moon Spirit Ore Vein is cultivated, be content if you get a share—still making such excessive demands!"

"Such a naïve youth. How can a broken place like Yunyue Sect be suitable to cultivate the Moon Spirit Ore Vein?"

In the great hall, some high-ups discussed in low voices, ridiculing or disdaining.

Even Elder Gongyang was somewhat discontented with Chen Yu's words.

And Elder Duanmu, who had always supported Chen Yu, was now frowning, feeling that Chen Yu's appetite was indeed too large.

"Chen Yu, of what use are so many Moon Spirit Ores to you?"

Lv Tiezu's ice-cold voice rang out.

It was clear what he meant—he certainly wouldn't let Chen Yu off. Even if Chen Yu took thirty percent, it's doubtful he would live to receive it.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you all, I have a set of Ancient Arrays in my hands that can catalyze the vein, estimated to shorten the cultivation time by thirty percent!"

Just when people were looking down on him, Chen Yu suddenly spoke with a smile.

"What?"

That sentence dropped like a bomb, stirring waves in everyone's hearts.

An Ancient Array that could catalyze the vein!

Indeed, historical records mentioned such Arrays, but these types of Arrays had always been extremely rare and precious.

Because often, they could be applied to most veins, their value was unimaginable.

Nowadays, such Arrays had long been lost, with not even incomplete versions available.

And yet Chen Yu was saying he could produce a catalyzing Array that would shorten the cultivation time by thirty percent!

In fact, Chen Yu himself did not know of this Array.

It was the Red Flame King who, hearing that Chen Yu wanted to use the Moon Spirit Ore Mother to cultivate the Moon Spirit Ore Vein, had come forward with this offer.

Correspondingly, the Red Flame King had his conditions.

"This young man has quite a few secrets, huh!"

The Bone Demon Palace Master's profound gaze fixed on Chen Yu.

Even Absolute Yin Ancestor's gloomy, dusky eyes flashed with a strange light, giving Chen Yu a glance.

"The Moon Spirit Ore Vein is of significant importance to the Three Kingdoms, as it will be able to change the overall strength of the kingdoms. For you alone to take so much, isn't that rather selfish?"

The small old man from the Purple Cloud Palace spoke with a tone suggesting negotiation.

"Also, there's another point, I myself am endowed with great destiny. Previously, in the Blood Burial Garden, I killed talents like Shangguan Qi, Helian Tu, Yi Yunfei, and Lv Santong, and even the former number one of the Three Sects, Lv Tiezu, who attempted to kill me, has not succeeded to this day. I believe under the influence of my destiny, the cultivation of the vein will be even more fluent."

Chen Yu shamelessly claimed, while also acknowledging his past killings of various talents in the Blood Burial Garden.

He had previously heard Elder Mao talk about his great destiny, and after having seen more of the world, he too felt there was a lot of truth to it.

"You..."

Lv Tiezu immediately stood up, bristling with killing intent.

Chen Yu dared to admit in front of him that he killed Lv Santong, using the fact that Lv Tiezu couldn't kill him as proof of his towering destiny.

This was a direct insult to Lv Tiezu!

The young man was too arrogant, too presumptuous, too disdainful!

The infuriating part was that now Lv Tiezu could not attack and kill Chen Yu!

Instead, the others, although feeling that Chen Yu was a tad boastful, found some rationale in his words.

"Heh, Chen Yu is a distinguished guest of our Lingjian Sect, I support Chen Yu's idea."

Elder Duanmu seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly spoke with a smile.

With Elder Duanmu's support, Elder Gongyang's expression brightened with joy, he then spoke up, "Chen Yu, as the owner of the Moon Spirit Ore Mother, has certain speaking and distributing rights. In addition, he can produce a catalyzing Array, and he himself is also blessed with great destiny..."

The small old man from Purple Cloud Palace pondered for a moment.

At the time, he recalled a scene from within the ranks of Chu Country; even Elder Chai suffered a loss at Chen Yu's hands and was defeated.

Coupled with what Chen Yu had just mentioned, it seemed certain that Chen Yu was indeed blessed with great destiny.

Moreover, Chen Yu's own strength was not to be underestimated, making it almost certain that he would reach the Guiyuan Realm in the future.

This kind of destiny protagonist was best not to be made an enemy of; otherwise, disaster could strike.

"My Purple Cloud Palace also agrees with Chen Yu's proposal."

The small old man from the Purple Cloud Palace broke his silence and then spoke after a short period.
