"Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
After refining the secret realm and restoring it, all the destructive energies disappeared. No matter how you look at it, it's a thing to be happy about.
But.
Lu Tao's expression was not good; in fact, it could be described as ugly.
This left Han Yi, Tang Xing, Zhao Miaotong, and the others feeling somewhat bewildered, and they began to worry.
It's obvious.
Lu Tao knew some things that they didn't.
"Gentlemen, we're in big trouble."
Lu Tao glanced around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "I didn't say this before mainly because I didn't want to cause panic. Also, I thought that I might be able to solve the problem after I refined the secret realm, but now... I can't."
"Brother Lu, tell me what the problem is, and let's figure it out together," Han Yi said in a deep voice.
"Many people probably guessed that the altar in the secret realm is two sides shorter than the altar of the cultivators."
Seeing everyone nod, Lu Tao continued, "You guessed right, it is indeed true. This altar was divided into three parts. One part is the altar in our secret realm, while the other two parts were obtained by the demon and monster races respectively."
"I see!"
"No wonder the demon and monster races are so powerful; they actually obtained two such divine altars."
"No, their altars shouldn't be as good as the ones we built."
Everyone suddenly realized.
They started discussing it amongst themselves.
Lu Tao gestured for everyone to be quiet before continuing, "Currently, the two altars of the demon and monster races are approaching our secret realm. Although I can sense them, I do not know their specific details."
"Brother Lu, do you mean that powerful beings from the demon and monster races might be riding divine platforms to chase after us?" Su Peng's expression suddenly changed drastically.
Upon hearing this, the others were also horrified and looked at Lu Tao nervously.
Lu Tao nodded.
"Even after refining the secret realm, I couldn't sense the specifics. I only knew that both divine platforms were chasing after us."
Immediately, Lu Tao expressed his guess, saying, "I guess that either those two divine platforms are controlled by the God of War, or they exist in the form of a secret realm, just like our secret realm."
"If it's a secret realm, that's fine, there should be cultivation restrictions, but I'm afraid it might be a Martial God riding a divine platform."
Nowadays.
Even when facing a Martial King, Lu Tao was not afraid, given his various methods.
The only thing I'm worried about is the God of War.
Even though he has many tricks up his sleeve and can kill enemies two realms above him, he still has no way to deal with a Martial God.
"Martial God..."
After hearing what Lu Tao said, everyone's expression turned gloomy.
The God of War is too strong. All of them combined probably wouldn't be enough to stop him from taking a single breath.
"Is it possible to escape?"
Some people, unwilling to accept this, couldn't help but ask the question they already had the answer to.
Lu Tao shook his head, "No, the opponent is too fast, we can't outrun them at all."
Everyone fell silent.
He Yuanshuang also held Lu Tao's arm tightly, looking worried and unsure of what to do.
"Let's all think about it and see if there's any good way to survive."
Lu Tao looked at everyone and comforted them, "Also, there's no need to be too anxious. It's possible that it's not a Martial God, but a secret realm."
only.
Lu Tao's words of comfort had no effect; everyone looked somber.
Lu Tao suddenly asked, "By the way, does anyone have a method to refine a cave dwelling or a small world?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Even secret realms couldn't escape the pursuit of the demon race, so could caves and small worlds?
We'll see.
Whether it's a cave dwelling or a small world, both are extremely troublesome to refine. How was Lu Tao able to refine them in such a short time?
Moreover, Lu Tao is only at the peak of the Innate Realm; does he have the ability to refine a cave dwelling?
They don't believe it.
Lu Tao didn't explain, but just looked at everyone, hoping for a response.
However, to his disappointment, none of these people at the Innate Realm possessed such refining methods.
However, at that moment...
Suddenly, a Martial King clone behind Lu Tao said, "Lu Tao, I have a recipe for refining a cave dwelling."
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao's eyes lit up.
Lu Tao turned around and took the jade slip that the Martial King's clone had just inscribed, and quickly scanned it.
After a short while, Lu Tao finished scanning the area and breathed a sigh of relief.
Building the cave dwelling was a backup plan.
"Does anyone have good refining materials, preferably first-tier materials that can be used to refine divine artifacts?"
Lu Tao didn't stand on ceremony and said to everyone, "This is to save our lives. I hope you won't hold back. Also, I won't take your materials for free. You can exchange them for Soul Refining Fish or other cultivation resources."
Upon hearing this, everyone...
We looked at each other, but neither of us said a word.
Materials that can be used to forge divine artifacts are not only precious but also extremely rare. Disciples like them, who are only at the Innate Realm, certainly do not possess them.
Even if they obtained them, they would have already used them to exchange for resources within the sect, and to improve their cultivation and equipment.
Lu Tao felt somewhat regretful.
Just as he was feeling disappointed, he suddenly heard Su Peng's voice transmission, "Brother Lu, I have some materials in my possession."
Upon hearing the telepathic message, Lu Tao nodded silently and then asked, "Do you have any other high-level materials? Second-tier, third-tier, or even fourth-tier if necessary."
"I have Tier 3 material, Luochensha."
"I have a second-tier material, Purple Ridge Stone."
“I have three…”
Everyone was very enthusiastic; it was a matter of life and death, and no one held back.
after all.
Everyone has seen whether they contribute materials or not. If Lu Tao really manages to create a cave dwelling that can save lives, and they are prevented from entering, they will regret it later.
"Everyone should try to think of ways to survive. Please bring them up and we can discuss them together."
After Lu Tao put away all the refining materials, he looked at Su Peng and said, "Brother Su, you talked to me about a collaboration on pills before, so you should know how to refine pills, right?"
"I know a little bit."
Lu Tao nodded, "Alright, Brother Su, come with me and help me refine a few batches of pills."
Lu Tao took out the safe house directly and casually tossed it about ten feet away.
As Han Yi was pulling He Yuanshuang along, preparing to enter the safe house, he suddenly asked, "Brother Lu, is this altar still effective?"
Han Yi and his group were somewhat unwilling.
They exchanged the Soul Refining Fish with Lu Tao and enhanced their spiritual sense, intending to go on stage to comprehend the cultivation technique.
But who knew—
Unfortunately, Shan Yu caused the secret realm to self-destruct.
It's hard to say whether Han Yi, Tang Xing, Zhao Miaotong, and the others were unlucky or lucky.
Now, the altar has recovered considerably as the secret realm has healed.
only.
Compared to its previous size, the altar is now much smaller, reduced by about a hundred times in length, width, and height.
Mount Everest has been reduced to a small hill.
Han Yi, Mu Yihan, and the others still wanted to go on stage to comprehend the cultivation technique.
Lu Tao shook his head and said, "The current altar is no longer effective. At most, it can be used to comprehend low-grade earth-level cultivation techniques, but it takes more time and consumes more soul energy."
After refining the secret realm.
Lu Tao also learned a lot about the secret realm.
For example, the moment of enlightenment on the altar is actually transformed by consuming a large amount of soul energy.
Once the energy is depleted, it can no longer provide enlightenment.
"Alas, what a pity."
Zhao Miaotong couldn't help but sigh.
They finally managed to get the chance to enter the secret realm, but before they could even step onto the altar to challenge it, the altar exploded.
"Brother Su, come with me."
Lu Tao led He Yuanshuang, Wu Ming, Su Peng, and others into the safe house.
"Brother Su, you didn't go up to the Divine Platform to challenge either?"
Seeing the same regretful expression on Su Peng's face, Lu Tao couldn't help but ask.
Su Peng chuckled and said, "I went up and passed the second level. I was originally planning to pass the third level, but... now I don't have the chance."
"Brother Su is quite confident."
Lu Tao was somewhat surprised.
Judging from Su Peng's words, he wasn't preparing to challenge the third level, but rather to pass it. It seems like there's only a one-word difference, but the meanings are completely different.
It is clear that Su Peng has enough confidence to pass the third test.
This also means that he is at the peak of the Innate Realm, extremely powerful, and even capable of fighting against opponents of higher levels.
"Shuang'er, you two should hurry up and cultivate."
After entering the safe house, Lu Tao instructed He Yuanshuang and the other two to cultivate, and then arranged for the three Martial King clones to stay in one room and continue inscribing jade slips.
He then led Su Peng into another room...
