"well!"
At this moment, many god-kings suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
Faced with Lu Tao as an enemy, they really didn't know where to start.
In fact, in their many plans targeting Lu Tao, any other creature would probably have been captured and even enslaved long ago, with all its opportunities being plundered.
There was no possibility of escape.
But Lu Tao, a human with only the cultivation of a Celestial God and a Divine Lord, repeatedly thwarted them.
Despite the continuous attacks from numerous god-kings and top races, they were unable to faze him.
It is no exaggeration to say that they have gone to great lengths to target Lu Tao and have never underestimated him.
Even when Lu Tao was still in the lower realm, he was plotted against by beings like the Perfected God King and the Half-Step God Emperor.
Unfortunately, they failed every time.
Faced with such a blow, even a god-king's resolve wavered.
Can they really still kill Lu Tao?
They don't know, and they dare not think about it.
"Alright, let's not worry about Lu Tao for now. Let's focus on advancing to the half-step God Emperor level."
Ao Chen rubbed his temples, breaking the dull atmosphere, and looked at Jie En, saying, "Hall Master Jie, go and undergo your tribulation."
"good!"
Jie En nodded, stepped into the sky, released his own energy, and prepared to undergo the tribulation of the Divine Emperor.
But at that moment, the Golden Lion exclaimed again, "Your Majesty, news has come from the lower realms."
"What news?"
Upon hearing the news from the lower realm, Ao Chen felt a headache coming on.
The Golden Lion said, "Lu Tao created some kind of faith ranking list, which manifested on many planets. He said that every month, according to the ranking list, he would collect one hundred planets and ten thousand races to enter his small world."
"..."
Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures fell silent.
Compared to ten thousand top-grade divine veins, this news is actually nothing.
But individually, all the powerful gods knew just how heaven-defying this was.
A hundred planets, ten thousand races of beings—what kind of tiny world would be needed to contain them all?
But when you think about how Lu Tao created a small world containing three thousand Daoist principles, it becomes less unacceptable.
What bothers them is that this means Lu Tao's small world is of a high enough grade that even if they find Lu Tao, they probably won't be able to do anything to him.
As for whether the beings in the lower realms will choose to enter Lu Tao's small world, they don't need to guess to know that they will definitely agree.
"In order to enter the small world, the ten thousand planets in the lower realm will probably worship Lu Tao madly, and the power of faith he gains will be terrifying!"
"Lu Tao is shameless for using such despicable means to harvest faith."
"It is obvious that the boost that faith has given to Lu Tao's comprehension is probably exaggerated."
...
Many of the god-kings gritted their teeth at Lu Tao's actions.
Unfortunately, they were powerless to stop it.
"But why would he take these creatures into his small world? If it's for faith, it doesn't seem necessary."
The Hun Tian Beast felt something was off and continued, "If the goal is to make these planets compete, Lu Tao could simply reward them with more high-grade divine veins or other resources. There's no need to go to such lengths."
“Indeed, whether these beings are in the small world or in the outside world, they can believe in Lu Tao. With Lu Tao offering a top-grade divine vein as a reward, those beings will definitely believe in him very devoutly. He doesn’t need to do this at all.”
The pangolin also fell into deep thought, "His actions must be to gain more faith power; otherwise, there's no reason for him to do this, wanting to gain more faith power..."
"I understand, time acceleration!"
Suddenly, the pangolin seemed to realize something and said urgently, "We were all wrong before. Lu Tao's small world must also be able to accelerate time. In that case, after he takes these creatures into his small world, the faith power he gains will increase several times, or even ten times."
"But comparing a mere hundred planets to ten thousand, even if it's a tenfold increase, doesn't seem like it's necessary to go to such great lengths?"
The Demon Bull shook its head, not quite agreeing with the Mountain-Piercing Divine Beast's analysis. It continued, "If it's about collecting more than a thousand planets, then it's worth doing."
"That's true!"
The pangolin was not angry at the demon bull's opposition; on the contrary, it quite agreed with it.
One hundred planets are indeed too few. It's not worth doing this for such a small amount of faith power. It would be more practical to develop more faith planets in the lower realm.
At this moment, Ao Yu suddenly looked at the weasel and asked, "Brother Huang, do you have any insights?"
The weasel hesitated and said, "Regarding faith, I think it is related to the level of cultivation, but I'm not too sure about the specifics."
"It's related to cultivation level..."
The pangolin pondered, "So Lu Tao is taking these creatures into his small world so they can improve their cultivation and contribute more faith power?"
It suddenly noticed the golden lion's hesitant expression and asked, "Is there any news from the lower realm?"
The golden lion hurriedly replied, "When Lu Tao released the Faith Ranking, he mentioned that cultivating in his small world would increase the cultivation speed by dozens of times."
"Tens of times?"
Upon hearing this number, many god-kings couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, and then they quickly realized what was going on.
The demonic bull nodded and said, "A top-grade divine spirit vein, plus a god-king level spirit-gathering array, makes cultivation speed dozens of times faster than outside, which is normal. Compared to the planet, it just has one more spirit-gathering array... No, wait!"
As it was talking, it suddenly realized something was wrong.
"No, if it's because they have a spirit-gathering array in the small world that their cultivation speed is faster, then since the number of living beings is the same, the spirit-gathering array must be enormous."
The Demon Bull glanced at the other God-Kings who hadn't yet reacted, and continued, "If Lu Tao can set up such a massive Spirit Gathering Array, then he can certainly set it up on ten thousand planets in the lower realm as well. There's no need for him to take these beings into his small world, a mere hundred planets..."
It didn't continue.
As mentioned before, a mere hundred planets, even with a tenfold time acceleration, would only amount to a thousand, and that's assuming the collection only happens once a month in the future.
Based solely on the information they possess, it is indeed unnecessary.
"The purpose of the Spirit Gathering Array is simply to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Whether it is a planet or a continent, there is a natural sky that will prevent the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from dissipating, so there is no need to set up a Spirit Gathering Array."
The Hun Tian Beast shook its head and analyzed, "Actually, the dozens of times that Lu Tao mentioned might just be the blessing of a high-grade divine vein."
"After all, on the lower planets, each planet only has one high-grade divine vein. After it dissipates throughout the entire planet, it is normal for the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to decrease by tens or hundreds of times. However, if they enter the small world, they can obtain more high-grade divine veins, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will naturally be much more concentrated."
The Hun Tian Beast added, "The dozens of times that Lu Tao mentioned is just a gimmick; there's no need to think about it too much."
Ao Chen nodded upon hearing this, saying, "That makes sense. This is probably why Lu Tao only accepted one hundred planets. It's because he only has a limited number of high-grade divine veins, which can only satisfy the beings on one hundred planets and be used without restraint."
The pangolin shook its head and retorted, "I just don't feel that's right."
"If that's the case, Lu Tao could simply say that there are more divine veins and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is more abundant, which would make it easier for those lower-level beings to understand and would not affect the competition among these planets."
The pangolin continued, "And he offered the temptation of dozens of times faster cultivation speed. If it's just an increase in the concentration of divine energy, don't you all find it a bit awkward?"
All the gods nodded silently, agreeing with the words of the pangolin.
There's no need to pretend to be profound with lower-level beings; just state the benefits directly, and they'll naturally know whether or not to fight for them.
Ao Chen frowned and said in a deep voice, "Brother Chuanshan, in your opinion, the increase in cultivation speed that Lu Tao mentioned is not due to the divine veins and the spirit gathering array, but something else."
Ao Chen countered, "But after excluding these, what kind of being could increase a living being's cultivation speed by dozens of times?"
Yan Zhi frowned and asked, "Moreover, it works on all the beings on hundreds of planets, increasing their cultivation speed by dozens of times. Does such a thing really exist?"
It expresses doubt.
They had never even heard of such an extraordinary treasure, given their limited knowledge.
"..."
The pangolin chose to remain silent; it didn't know either.
Ao Chen looked at the Heavenly Frog again, "Brother Frog, take another look."
"good!"
The Heavenly Frog had already made preparations; anything that the powerful figures couldn't understand, they would have to entrust to him for investigation.
If it weren't for the considerable cost of cross-dimensional viewing, other god-kings wouldn't bother guessing and would simply let it view using the power of rules.
The last time it took ten breaths to examine the divine veins, this time, a full twenty breaths have passed, and the Heavenly Frog has still not found any results.
final.
It had to stop its investigation and said helplessly, "I can't find out. Even through the rules of cause and effect, I can't find out whether the cultivation speed Lu Tao mentioned includes the divine veins and the spirit gathering array."
"..."
Upon hearing this answer, all the kings of the gods were helpless.
But Tianwa's next sentence made them a little uneasy: "However, I did find out that what Lu Tao said was not dozens of times, but only a little over ten times."
"More than ten times?"
The mountain-piercing beast was startled, then said with a bitter expression, "It seems that Lu Tao's claim of a cultivation speed more than ten times faster really has nothing to do with the divine veins."
"What do you mean?" Demon Bull asked, somewhat puzzled.
The pangolin explained, "Because of this, more than ten times..."
In the explanation of the pangolin.
More than ten times, in a sense, can be considered a relatively accurate figure.
However, the figure of several tens of times is uncertain.
In his view.
It was clear that Lu Tao brought up this matter only after he was almost certain that some kind of cultivation enhancement had been applied.
However, if the concentration of divine energy were to increase, it certainly couldn't be more than ten times.
Why?
As they had guessed, since Lu Tao had bestowed 10,000, he should have more than that left in his possession. It was impossible for him to bestow most of the superior divine veins upon mere believers.
If one possesses tens of thousands of high-grade divine veins, increasing the density of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on a mere hundred planets within a small world by dozens of times would be an extremely simple matter.
Since Lu Tao wanted to help them improve their cultivation, how could he possibly overlook such a small matter?
Therefore, from such a simple number, the Mountain-Piercing Beast can deduce that the ten times mentioned by Lu Tao has nothing to do with the Divine Vein.
"..."
Upon hearing the explanation from the pangolin, all the gods chose to remain silent.
Although its explanation is somewhat far-fetched, it must be said that it does make sense.
What frustrates them is that all of this is just speculation, and they have no way of verifying its authenticity.
This only makes Lu Tao a greater threat in their eyes.
at the same time.
This also makes them more urgent.
If the pangolin's guess is true, then Lu Tao's cultivation speed will be even more exaggerated than they imagined.
Time is running out for them.
At this moment, seeing that the powerful figures were silent, the Golden Lion said again, "In addition, according to what is said in the lower realm, Lu Tao taught those believers the Immortal Scripture. Although the grade of this technique is not high, the cultivation speed is far superior to that of the same grade, which is quite extraordinary."
The Heavenly Frog said, "We already knew that."
Even before the pupils appeared, when they immediately examined the cause and effect on Lu Tao, they discovered the existence of the Immortal Scripture.
When Ao Chen was searching for the Soul King Demon Cat, he also discovered special martial arts techniques used by disciples of the Immortal Sect.
However, Lu Tao's passing on such a technique to those ants in the lower realm still surprised them greatly.
The fact that a cultivation technique that transcends ranks was being taught to believers left them speechless.
That's absolutely outrageous!
However, the pangolin still asked one more question, "Is it the Primordial Chaos Technique?"
"no!"
Upon hearing this answer, the pangolin no longer cared about the matter.
The other god-kings didn't care either.
At this moment, Ao Yu, who had been silently listening to the discussion among the gods, suddenly said, "Brother Frog, could you please investigate Lu Tao again and see what he used to get those special geniuses to trade their cultivation techniques to him instead of me?"
This matter was like a thorn in Ao Yu's heart, impossible to remove.
Since the Heavenly Frog is now using its Eyes to investigate Lu Tao's affairs, it might as well investigate them as well.
Upon hearing this, the other god-kings, especially the Mountain-Penetrating God-King, were immediately moved.
Because of this, it suffered a lot of disdain from other god-kings.
It was also very curious about how Lu Tao had managed to do it.
Apart from Shi Shu, it seems there were no failed transactions.
"good!"
Tianwa nodded and began to examine it.
As a result, it got the answer in just a few breaths and exclaimed in surprise: "Lu Tao promised to improve their aptitude to the upper level of the King rank, which is why they chose to trade their cultivation techniques to Lu Tao."
"Top-grade Royal Grade?"
"Lu Tao has so many medicinal kings?"
"Why would those prodigies believe Lu Tao's words? His oath to Heaven?"
All the god-kings were shocked.
Lu Tao made over thirty transactions. If all of them were like this, it would mean that there were over thirty Divine King Pills, and they were Divine King Pills that could improve one's aptitude to the highest grade of King.
How is that possible?
The Heavenly Frog continued, "They have all successfully improved their aptitude."
"..."
The King of Gods fell silent once more.
Yan Zhi suddenly realized, "It seems that Lu Tao has some kind of ability that can increase the chances of taking pills, and even increase them to 100%."
First there was the true dragon bloodline, and now there's the talent enhancement; clearly, they're all using the same methods to increase the odds.
"If that's the case, then if the disciples of the Immortal Sect raise their aptitude to the upper-level King rank and then fuse with the True Dragon bloodline, wouldn't they be able to become the upper-level Emperor rank?"
The Demon Bull's words startled all the other god-kings.
The pangolin's eyes widened in shock. "But Lu Tao is putting these true dragon bloodlines up for auction. Are all the disciples of the Immortal Sect this terrifyingly talented?"
This conjecture shocked all the god-kings into silence.
If the speculation is true, then the Immortal Sect definitely has unlimited potential.
Everyone has Emperor-level qualifications?
How terrifying!
All the god-kings felt a chill run down their spines and dared not even think about their future.
This was even more terrifying to them than the shock they had received from learning about the ten thousand top-grade divine veins.
Right now.
The entire secret realm fell into silence, even Jie En, who was preparing to undergo tribulation, had already stopped.
What terrified them even more was that if the pangolin's earlier guess was true, a tenfold increase in cultivation, combined with the Emperor-grade aptitude of the Immortal Sect disciples, would mean an incredible cultivation speed for the Immortal Sect...
Glug!
All the powerful figures couldn't help but feel fear.
This is a cultivation speed comparable to a Saint-grade talent, no, not just comparable, but exceeding.
"I see!"
At this moment, they finally understood why the disciples of the Immortal Sect cultivated so rapidly, advancing from the Heavenly God Realm to the Perfect Heavenly God Realm in just one year.
With such talent and cultivation speed, how could their cultivation speed not be fast?
What does it mean to have a product that everyone can enjoy?
Throughout the entire desolate region, there has probably never been a Saint-level prodigy, but all the disciples of the Immortal Sect are.
That's terrifying.
After an unknown amount of time, the Hun Tian Beast murmured absentmindedly, "Lu Tao has far too many secrets."
"Yes, it feels like any one of his secrets is enough to drive all living beings crazy."
"It's a pity I can't have it, sigh!"
"I'm so unwilling to accept this!"
...
The Hun Tian Beast's exclamation drew agreement from many powerful god-kings.
All the powerful beings knew that even with the Heavenly Frog's rules of cause and effect, they had not yet come into contact with the true secrets of Lu Tao.
This is what terrifies them the most.
Ignorance is the most terrifying thing, and what awaits them in the future is likely to be destruction by these secrets.
Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, they were still unable to find anything useful.
This left many powerful individuals somewhat bewildered.
They see no future, no hope whatsoever.
Seeing the dejected mood of the God Kings, Ao Chen suddenly said to the Heavenly Frog, "Brother Frog, the disciples of the Immortal Sect are currently in the lower realm. Take a look at them; perhaps you can find out Lu Tao's secret through them."
