"Tianyu Pavilion..."
After receiving the message from his clone, Lu Tao fell into deep thought.
Lu Tao had been wary of Tianyu Pavilion ever since he realized that he would be its enemy in the future.
Whether it's offering a reward for martial arts techniques or auctioning off the bloodline of a true dragon, it's excluded.
Now, hearing Sect Master Luo's reminder, Lu Tao couldn't help but ponder again.
Why would Tianyu Pavilion be my enemy?
Lu Tao couldn't quite understand it.
If it was because of his actions in these two matters, plus his change of heart when he asked Tianyu Pavilion to collect evil cultivation techniques in exchange for the Cat Emperor Scripture, that he had essentially played a trick on Tianyu Pavilion, causing them to become his enemy...
But that's not right either.
After all, Lu Tao had already discovered this problem when he made his wish at the beginning of the bounty.
That led to the three things that followed.
It's impossible for the effect to appear before the cause has even appeared.
This doesn't make sense.
"However, no matter how powerful Tianyu Pavilion is, as long as they do not have a God Emperor level expert, I am not afraid in the slightest."
Lu Tao was merely wary of Tianyu Pavilion.
Although this force is the strongest in the desolate region, no matter how strong it is, as long as there is no God Emperor level expert, Lu Tao is not worried.
No matter how many God-Kings there are at their peak, they pose no threat to Lu Tao now.
His little world can avoid everything.
"Let's pray again to see why this Tianyu Pavilion is my enemy."
Thinking this, Lu Tao prayed to the statue of the deity once again.
Praying to the deity is different from divination or the artifact of the God of Cause and Effect. It does not directly deduce the unknown, but relies on Lu Tao to first guess a certain possibility and then pray, judging according to the consumption of faith points.
Only in this way can he get the answer he wants.
This means that finding out certain things often involves some roundabout methods.
Fortunately, as long as the wish is not fulfilled, you can keep trying through the statue of the deity without wasting any faith points.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, as soon as he made his wish, Lu Tao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
He discovered that the reason Tianyu Pavilion was his enemy was because of the Chaos Domain.
This left him somewhat bewildered.
It should be noted that before offering the reward for the cultivation technique, Lu Tao had also prayed about this matter. At that time, he prayed that the Three Thousand Domains would become the key to Tianyu Pavilion becoming his enemy.
As a result, a huge amount of faith points are required.
This indirectly proves that it is not.
But now, the Chaos Domain has become the key to the conflict between Tianyu Pavilion and Lu Tao...
"The Three Thousand Domains, isn't that just the Chaos Domain? Or does it mean... without comprehending the Chaos Domain, no matter how many domains there are, they pose no threat to the Heavenly Universe Pavilion?"
Lu Tao was somewhat puzzled, but it seemed to make sense.
One is a potential possibility, and the other is a real threat; there is a difference between the two.
"Wait, something's not right..."
Suddenly, Lu Tao had an idea, and his mind raced as he thought, "When I made my wish, I hadn't yet offered a reward for a cultivation technique, so the Heavenly Pavilion would definitely not know about my comprehension of the Chaos Domain, therefore..."
“At that time, they didn’t really have many thoughts about me, and probably never had any intention of being my enemy.”
"But now that I have comprehended the Chaos Realm, their intentions have become obvious?"
The more Lu Tao thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Just like when something hasn't happened yet, you'll need more faith points to make a wish. But if something happens halfway through, or something affects the event, you'll need less faith points to make a wish.
For example, this is how Wu Ming underwent his tribulation.
Before and after Wu Ming was tempered in the Thunder God Tower, the amount of faith he had in praying to overcome the heavenly tribulation was completely different.
"But I have no grudge against Tianyu Pavilion, so why would they become my enemy after I comprehended the Chaos Domain? Are they worried that I would threaten their position?"
Besides this possibility, Lu Tao couldn't think of any other reason.
Tianyu Pavilion can be said to have always been aloof from worldly affairs.
Apart from the recent matter of the Hunyuan Technique, which is where Tianyu Pavilion got involved, they haven't interfered in other matters.
Even when the human race was in peril, other forces agreed to temporarily band together, but the Tianyu Pavilion, which also took action, didn't care about such things. When the human race was in trouble, they didn't even show up.
It is clear that they do not care about the changes in the landscape of the wasteland.
Or perhaps, they have great confidence in their own strength, and no matter how much the desolate region changes, Tianyu Pavilion will always be number one.
However, Lu Tao, who has comprehended the Chaos Domain, will have terrifying strength in the future. Even if he were alone, he could easily shake the position of Tianyu Pavilion.
With this in mind.
Lu Tao prayed to the statue of the deity once again.
"This faith value..."
Lu Tao frowned as he looked at the required faith points on the prayer statue.
The required faith points are considerable, which doesn't seem like they're worried about him threatening the status of the Heavenly Pavilion.
"They can't possibly be worried that I'll wipe them out in the future, can they?"
Lu Tao prayed again, and it seemed that it really was true.
This left Lu Tao speechless.
The difference in faith points required for the prayers to threaten one's position and to destroy the Heavenly Pavilion is enormous.
The information revealed here seems to suggest that Tianyu Pavilion is not afraid of any force that is stronger than it, but it is afraid of any individual being too powerful and thus destroying them.
This... feels somewhat contradictory.
"No, although a certain force may be stronger than Tianyu Pavilion, this strength is only superficial. Tianyu Pavilion hides much more of its true strength, so there's nothing to be afraid of?"
Thinking this, Lu Tao prayed again for the strength of Tianyu Pavilion, and then he suddenly realized that Tianyu Pavilion was even more powerful than the various races of the Desolate Domain had imagined.
"Really? Not only does it surpass the True Dragon Clan, but even the combined strength of the All-Race Alliance can't compare to the Heavenly Pavilion?"
Lu Tao was startled when he saw the result of his prayer.
The Alliance of Races now has ten God-Kings at the Perfection stage and hundreds of God-King powerhouses. How could such strength be inferior to that of the Heavenly Universe Pavilion?
Lu Tao was a little dazed.
This greatly increased his curiosity about Tianyu Pavilion.
Next.
Lu Tao made a series of prayers, hoping to investigate the true strength of Tianyu Pavilion.
Then, to Lu Tao's shock,
Tianyu Pavilion alone has five half-step God Emperor level experts, nine God Kings at the peak of their power, twenty-one God Kings at the late stage, and more than one hundred other God Kings in total.
"Hiss... This Tianyu Pavilion is well hidden!"
Lu Tao couldn't help but gasp; such strength was simply too terrifying.
No wonder Tianyu Pavilion has always been the number one power in the Desolate Region since ancient times; no race or power can compare with it.
There is absolutely no comparison between them.
Even the True Dragon Clan, the overlords of the desolate region, are not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Heavenly Universe Pavilion.
That's terrifying.
"Such a force would actually be my enemy... I'm so glad I didn't choose to put a bounty on Tianyu Pavilion back then."
Lu Tao secretly felt somewhat fortunate.
He suspected that Tianyu Pavilion hesitated to act against him immediately after learning that he had been offered a reward for his cultivation technique and that he might be able to comprehend the Chaos Domain.
After all, it only took him about a month from the time he offered the cultivation technique to the time he comprehended the Chaos Domain.
This time is far too short.
In the short time it took to hesitate, Lu Tao had already gathered all the cultivation techniques.
If he had chosen to offer a bounty on Tianyu Pavilion back then, seeing how quickly he acquired various cultivation techniques, Tianyu Pavilion probably wouldn't have been able to resist taking direct action.
"Fortunately, I have the statue of the deity I pray to. If it were anyone else, who could have escaped this calamity?"
Lu Tao sighed with emotion.
That's why he was able to escape Tianyu Pavilion's plot. If it were anyone else, no matter how careful they were, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape Tianyu Pavilion's scheme.
Who would have thought that?
Lu Tao hadn't expected this either; if he hadn't habitually prayed before acting, he wouldn't have discovered this potential crisis.
"Hey, speaking of which, has Tianyu Pavilion ever dealt with other prodigies before?"
Suddenly, Lu Tao became very interested.
Since Tianyu Pavilion is so wary of this prodigy who has the potential to comprehend the Chaos Domain and wants to kill him, what about the other prodigies in history?
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Tao made another prayer.
"As expected... there have been quite a few prodigies who have fallen at the hands of the Tianyu Pavilion since ancient times."
Lu Tao was somewhat horrified.
In total, seven exceptionally talented individuals perished at the hands of the Heavenly Pavilion. All seven were prodigies who had once had the potential to comprehend the Chaos Domain.
But it's just hope.
Ultimately, all seven were secretly murdered by Tianyu Pavilion during the process of collecting the domains.
"That's not right. If I'm ranked eighth, Tianyu Pavilion shouldn't be hesitating. Or am I being too cautious and not giving them any chance?"
Lu Tao suddenly realized something was wrong and, while guessing what was going on, prayed again.
Just as Lu Tao had predicted, it was because he was too cautious that he didn't give Tianyu Pavilion a chance to make a move against him.
After all, he truly came into the Tianyu Pavilion's sights when they were offering a reward for his cultivation techniques.
For more than a month, Lu Tao secretly clashed with the alliance of various races, but his true form was not exposed.
Even when it comes to trading techniques, it's always done after making a wish and observing from afar.
"Let's see if the Heavenly Pavilion was also tracking me when I attacked the Demon Bull, Demon Wolf and other races."
Lu Tao suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but pray again.
result……
"Sure enough, those bastards were always waiting in the wings, but unfortunately, I always prayed that I would only make a move when I was sure there was no danger."
Lu Tao couldn't help but feel a bit of toothache.
Tianyu Pavilion is such a scoundrel. They show no hostility towards him on the surface, but they've been secretly trying to find him.
Even when the Pavilion Master of Tianyu Pavilion went to rescue the Cat Emperor, the other powerful figures were still searching for Lu Tao.
Lu Tao was completely unaware of this beforehand.
If it weren't for Sect Master Luo's reminder, he wouldn't have known that Tianyu Pavilion had already taken action against him.
But it hasn't been successful yet.
"The cultivation techniques collected by Sect Master Luo have indeed been of great help to me, saving me from many dangers."
Lu Tao felt secretly grateful.
Without the more than 2,800 cultivation techniques collected by Sect Master Luo, the time it would take for him to offer a reward for those techniques would inevitably be longer.
Then he wouldn't be able to gather the three thousand domains in time to refine the minor world, let alone avoid the scrutiny of cause and effect.
In this way...
Lu Tao's potential crisis will expand infinitely, and at that time he will probably have no choice but to flee into the boundary wall to escape the pursuit of various races.
Or perhaps it's returning to the lower realm.
However, returning to the lower realm is troublesome, as ordinary small worlds cannot bring people down to the lower realm.
As for entering the boundary...
Lu Tao wasn't sure if he was safe inside the boundary, after all, he was only at the Heavenly God realm.
Those who enter the boundary are usually beings at the peak of the God-King realm or at the half-step God-Emperor realm.
Even such powerful beings struggle to move forward within the boundary, as if trapped in a quagmire. If Lu Tao, a mere Celestial God, were to enter, he would likely be captured by the various races before escaping very far.
"The way of destiny is truly unpredictable."
Lu Tao smiled to himself.
Throughout his cultivation journey, he has experienced many lucky moments, including the reward for mastering cultivation techniques. He knows this is due to the merit he has accumulated.
Blessed by heaven and earth.
Lu Tao shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and turned his attention back to Tianyu Pavilion.
"Since the Tianyu Pavilion has been secretly trying to find me, and the Alliance of Races is my enemy, under the current circumstances, the two sides may join forces."
Following Luo Menzhu's reminder, Lu Tao also made the same guess.
In fact, he was not afraid of the two sides joining forces, after all, with his current abilities, he didn't need to take these things to heart.
but.
Lu Tao worried that if they couldn't find him, they would become desperate and target other innocent humans in the wasteland.
After all, there is precedent for this; the alliance of races did the same thing to the human race.
Previously, although all the powerful humans were killed, the number of humans lost was not actually that great. However, if they targeted ordinary humans, lower-ranking humans...
That number would probably far exceed the tens of billions of dollars in the entire continent of Ganyu.
Although Lu Tao was not a saint, he did not want these humans to be implicated and killed for no reason because of him.
Or it could be used to threaten him.
Taking all this into account, Lu Tao made a decisive prayer.
In an instant, Lu Tao got the result.
"They really know how to team up!"
Lu Tao remained indifferent and continued to pray. He then discovered that these powerful individuals, unable to find him, would indeed attack other ordinary humans in the desolate region.
They wanted to force Lu Tao to show himself.
"They really will stop at nothing!"
Lu Tao chuckled, and then, through his communication clone, relayed all the information he had learned to Sect Master Luo.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Luo was greatly shocked.
As a half-step God-Emperor of the human race, she naturally did not want to see the human race being slaughtered.
"The Heavenly Pavilion is so powerful. If they join forces with other races to deal with our human race, what... what should we do?"
Master Luo was somewhat at a loss.
Faced with such a behemoth, even if the human race had three half-step God Emperors, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, with absolutely no chance of winning.
Sect Master Luo looked at Lu Tao in a panic and said urgently, "Lu Tao, we can't just stand by and watch other humans be killed. Do you have a way to save them?"
Lu Tao nodded and said, "Now that the news of the human race being attacked by other races has probably spread throughout the wasteland, other human cultivators in the wasteland should be more cautious and careful, or even gather together to hide. I can find a way to bring them into my small world."
"But won't this expose you?" Sect Master Luo asked with some concern.
She didn't want humanity to be killed by other races, but she also didn't want Lu Tao to take any risks.
Lu Tao's importance surpasses that of countless other human beings.
Lu Tao shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, it's fine!"
With the statue of the deity in place, none of these problems exist.
Lu Tao continued, "Now, all the God-Kings of the various races and the Heavenly Pavilion are undergoing tribulations to become half-step God-Emperors. This is a great opportunity to unite the human race."
"Advanced to the half-step God Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Luo frowned slightly, but with her knowledge, she quickly realized the difference between advancing to the half-step Divine Emperor realm and advancing after cultivating the Primordial Chaos Technique.
She asked urgently, "Should I tell Minghu and Cangyuan to undergo tribulation as well?"
Human race's God-Kings at the Perfection stage are already at the half-step God-Emperor level, so there is no need to notify them.
"no!"
Lu Tao shook his head and sighed, "Your allies are unreliable. The Dark Tiger, the Azure Ape, the leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect, and others will all rebel in the future."
"this……"
Master Luo was somewhat dumbfounded.
She didn't understand why Lu Tao would say that. Was it just speculation based on something that hadn't happened?
But in the end.
She still chose to believe Lu Tao.
