“That’s right. Although we can’t find out Lu Tao’s secrets through his karma, we should be able to through the disciples of the Immortal Sect.”
“That’s right. The Immortal Sect disciples have been living with Lu Tao all along. Even if Lu Tao protects his secrets well, there will still be some signs. The Immortal Sect disciples might be able to find out.”
"That's right. If they were living in Lu Tao's little world, where cause and effect are blocked, we might not be able to find out. But now that they've come out, this is our chance."
"Quick, Brother Frog, investigate quickly before Lu Tao realizes what's happening."
...
Upon hearing this, many god-kings were overjoyed, and the somber atmosphere instantly dissipated as they began to urge the matter on.
Seeing this, Tianwa reminded him, "In theory, it should be possible, but when I checked the cultivation speed that Lu Tao mentioned just now, I didn't get any results."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the King of Gods felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
They realized what was happening at that moment.
Since the disciples of the Immortal Sect all enjoyed a tenfold increase in cultivation speed, logically speaking, if the Heavenly Frog could investigate the karma of the Immortal Sect disciples, it would have obtained a specific answer just now.
Was that tenfold increase in cultivation speed due to the blessing of other treasures or the divine veins?
But the result was...
No!
Suddenly, the Demon Bull realized something and said, "Perhaps Lu Tao's so-called cultivation speed is just a lie. His purpose is to trick the beings of other planets into competing for rankings and contributing more faith power to him."
"After all, even if the beings in Lu Tao's small world discover the truth, they will be trapped in Lu Tao's small world and unable to expose his lies. Lu Tao is not afraid of these things?"
Upon hearing this, the Hun Tian Beast shook its head and said, "Ultimately, Lu Tao's actions were simply to gain more faith power. Whether he is lying or not is completely unimportant."
The demonic bull said, "But we can spread this news to the lower realms and say that Lu Tao is deceiving them, so that they will stop believing in Lu Tao. That will at least disrupt Lu Tao's faith a little."
"no!"
The pangolin shook its head and said helplessly, "Whether Lu Tao is lying or not, it is true that he possesses a large number of divine veins. These divine veins can enable beings entering the small world to cultivate faster, making countless planets flock to it. Even if we spread this news, it will not have any effect at all."
"More importantly, it will take time for us to pass on this information, while Lu Tao's Immortal Sect is in the lower realm. With their strength, it would be too easy for them to either clarify this matter or eliminate our subordinates."
"Yes, the lower realm is no longer something we can interfere with."
"The lower realm will probably become Lu Tao's backyard in the future."
"Absolutely outrageous!"
...
After only a few words of discussion, the Kings of Gods realized with dismay that they were no longer able to interfere in anything in the mortal realm.
Not only can they not intervene, but in the future, the lower realm will also be unrelated to the various races of the divine realm.
It will belong solely to Lu Tao.
"Sigh, these top god-kings panicked and started making all sorts of guesses just because of Lu Tao's words... How could I have been fooled by that bastard Ao Yu and joined them?"
Seeing this, Yan Zhi's expression turned somewhat gloomy, and he also felt a little regretful.
Originally, he and Lu Tao didn't have any deep-seated hatred. At most, he sent his subordinates to follow the two special geniuses, intending to seize them. It wasn't that he had offended Lu Tao too much.
Now look what's happened.
Not only did they lose the Five-Colored Divine Stone, but Huanyang Pavilion was also unable to operate. More importantly, they were powerless against Lu Tao and seemed to be left with no choice but to wait for him to rise to power.
Then wait to die!
This left Yan Zhi feeling extremely conflicted and filled with deep regret.
The torment he was going through was something even Shi Shu couldn't truly understand, since Shi Shu was currently in seclusion and unaware of what they had discovered.
"Alright, whatever you do, Brother Frog, go and investigate." Ao Chen helplessly stopped the God Kings' negative discussion.
"good!"
Without delay, the Heavenly Frog began its investigation.
Twenty breaths later, Tianwa shook his head helplessly and said, "No, we can't find anything. Not only can we not find any secrets about Lu Tao from those Immortal Sect disciples, but we can't even investigate the other causes and effects of the Immortal Sect disciples themselves."
Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment appeared on the faces of all the god-kings.
"Why is this happening? How can Lu Tao shield himself from the karma of all the Immortal Sect disciples?"
"Lu Tao began shielding cause and effect after he created the Three Thousand Dao Rhyme Small World. Could it be that his small world is so powerful that it can shield cause and effect not only within the small world but also after leaving it?"
"This is terrifying! Can such a world still be considered a small world?"
"A small world containing three thousand Dao principles... could it be a chaotic world?"
"Chaos my ass! Our divine realm can't even be called a chaotic world."
...
The kings of the gods were filled with anger and bewilderment.
The Immortal Sect disciples couldn't find any cause and effect within the small world, which was one thing, but they still couldn't find anything after leaving the small world, which was driving them crazy.
You need to know.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect are not gathered together in the lower realm, but are scattered across many planets.
What kind of small world could achieve such a large-scale causal shielding?
They couldn't understand it.
But this did not prevent them from being even more wary of Lu Tao.
Everything about this person defies common sense.
In other words, it's simply outrageous.
Seeing the God Kings gradually losing all confidence, Yan Zhi sighed silently and said to Ao Chen, "Brother Ao, why don't we contact Tianyu Pavilion now?"
Before Ao Chen could speak, the Hun Tian Beast frowned and said, "Isn't it a bit early to contact them now?"
Every force is extremely wary of Tianyu Pavilion.
Although the alliance of various races is now powerful, they dare not guarantee that their strength surpasses that of the Heavenly Pavilion.
If you want to cooperate with Tianyu Pavilion, the stronger you are, the more say you will have.
Originally, their plan was to have all the God Kings reach the level of a half-step God Emperor, or at least to confirm that Lu Tao had abandoned Tianyu Pavilion when auctioning the True Dragon Bloodline before contacting them.
At that time, they had at least three or four half-step God Emperors. With such strength, they were not afraid that Tianyu Pavilion would have any ulterior motives when they negotiated cooperation with them.
after all.
Tianyu Pavilion has always refrained from participating in any conflicts.
If, under their persuasion, they actually get involved this time, it could be aimed at Lu Tao.
Who knows what other thoughts the Tianyu Pavilion might develop towards their alliance of races in the future.
That's how rules are; once you break them, you can break them countless times.
The alliance of various races will not completely trust Tianyu Pavilion.
Sudden.
One of the God-Kings, unaware of the details, suddenly suggested, "By the way, we can have Brother Frog investigate the feud between Tianyu Pavilion and Lu Tao. Although Lu Tao can shield himself from karma, he can't possibly shield Tianyu Pavilion from karma as well, can he?"
Demon Bull said, "Brother Frog already checked last time, but didn't find anything."
Upon hearing this, the other god-kings were disappointed.
But just then, the Heavenly Frog suddenly said, "Last time we explored, we didn't have enough time to examine it in detail because of the high energy consumption. Let me explore it again now."
"Thinking about it carefully, there must be a reason why Lu Tao gave up Tianyu Pavilion. There must be some grudge between them, otherwise Lu Tao would not have made this choice," Tianwa added firmly.
“Indeed, since Lu Tao has blocked cause and effect, let’s check Tianyu Pavilion.”
The demonic bull nodded, then suddenly realized and said, "That's right, although the Eye of Truth can't be used on Lu Tao, it can still be used to investigate other forces, like the Heavenly Universe Pavilion? With the Eye of Truth, what secrets of this desolate region can't we find out?"
"If we could obtain all the resources of Tianyu Pavilion, then we would..."
Before the Demon Bull could finish speaking, it had already drawn agreement from the other god-kings.
“That’s right. Let alone investigating the grudges between Tianyu Pavilion and Lu Tao, we could even investigate the secrets of Tianyu Pavilion itself.”
"You know what, I'm actually quite curious about the origins of this Tianyu Pavilion. It has been able to exist for countless years without collapsing. More importantly, it doesn't compete or fight for anything, yet it has managed to maintain such a reputation all this time. It's truly unbelievable."
"Tianyu Pavilion has always been very mysterious. Today, let's unveil its mystery."
"If Tianyu Pavilion is weak, we... hehe."
...
All the powerful gods looked at the Heavenly Frog, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Especially Jie En and Yan Zhi.
Both of them own chambers of commerce spanning dozens of states, and they have always regarded Tianyu Pavilion as the ultimate goal of their respective chambers of commerce. However, even if they work hard for hundreds of thousands of years, they will still find it difficult to catch up.
Now they are also eager to know what kind of existence Tianyu Pavilion is.
"Okay, then I'll check out Tianyu Pavilion."
Tianwa nodded, unable to resist licking his lips.
Compared to Lu Tao's sudden rise, the mystery of Tianyu Pavilion has existed in the hearts of many God Kings for hundreds of thousands of years. If the secret of Tianyu Pavilion can be uncovered today, there may be other gains.
Just as it was about to investigate, it suddenly asked, somewhat bewildered, "Which direction should we investigate first?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the gods exchanged bewildered glances.
The Tianyu Pavilion Chamber of Commerce is shrouded in mystery in many ways, so it's understandable that Tianwa didn't know where to begin.
After all, investigating cause and effect is quite costly.
The Heavenly Frog had already expended a great deal of energy investigating Lu Tao's secrets.
and.
If the Heavenly Pavilion were to accidentally discover the Heavenly Frog's actions, it could very well be a catastrophe for the Heavenly Frog.
At this point, it is naturally unwise to investigate blindly.
After thinking for a moment, Ao Chen said cautiously, "Let's first check if Tianyu Pavilion has any treasures that can sense cause and effect."
Upon hearing this, the King of Gods' eyes lit up.
“That’s right, this is the safest option, to avoid Tianyu Pavilion discovering that we are investigating their secrets.”
"If we have such a treasure, we won't need to continue our investigation; if we don't, then we can uncover all the secrets of Tianyu Pavilion."
"Brother Frog, investigate quickly."
Ao Chen's suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone.
All the powerful gods and kings showed sufficient respect to Tianyu Pavilion and dared not offend it rashly.
That's how it is.
Urged by the Kings of Gods, the Heavenly Frog continued to apply the rules of cause and effect, using its eyes to probe.
A few breaths later, the Heavenly Frog opened its eyes with delight and said with a smile, "The Heavenly Pavilion has no treasures that can be sensed for cause and effect detection."
The kings of the gods couldn't help but exchange a joyful glance.
Ao Chen also directly instructed, "Brother Frog, continue the investigation. First, find out the specific strength of Tianyu Pavilion so that we can decide how to cooperate with Tianyu Pavilion."
"good!"
The Heavenly Frog nodded and continued its investigation.
However, just ten breaths later, the Heavenly Frog opened its eyes wide in shock.
Before the gods could ask, it exclaimed, "The strength of the Heavenly Pavilion is beyond our imagination!"
"What's going on?"
"What is the exact number of powerful individuals?"
"Say it!"
Upon hearing this, all the god-kings became anxious, while powerful figures such as Ao Chen, Ao Yu, and Jie En wore extremely solemn expressions.
call!
Tianwa took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and said in a deep voice, "Tianyu Pavilion has six half-step God Emperors, eight God Kings at the perfect stage, twenty-one God Kings at the late stage, and hundreds of other God Kings."
"Hiss..."
All the god-kings couldn't help but show expressions of shock, and many powerful figures couldn't help but gasp.
As Tianwa said, the strength of Tianyu Pavilion was beyond their imagination.
They have no right to rob a place like Tianyu Pavilion.
Ao Chen said with a gloomy expression, "This Tianyu Pavilion is actually so powerful? A mere force actually has six half-step God Emperors?"
"How can a mere merchant guild be more powerful than our Alliance of Races?"
"This is not just stronger than us, it can completely crush us."
"This is terrifying. Tianyu Pavilion is hiding its true strength. If they wanted to, they could completely rule the entire wasteland."
...
All the god-kings were deeply shocked.
The strength of Tianyu Pavilion is truly terrifying. It would probably take all the powerful figures in the entire Desolate Region combined to contend with it.
And it's not certain whether they can win.
after all.
The Heavenly Pavilion has existed for countless years. Its strength lies not only in the number of powerful individuals, but also in its profound heritage.
Over the years, no one knows exactly how many powerful artifacts and terrifying formations Tianyu Pavilion has acquired.
It's no exaggeration to say that...
All those powerful artifacts and unparalleled formations from ancient times will likely end up in the hands of the Tianyu Pavilion.
What makes our mere alliance of various races and our desolate wilderness compare to the Heavenly Pavilion?
It's laughable that they even tried to rob Tianyu Pavilion before.
If they had acted rashly without knowing the situation, their alliance of races might not have died at Lu Tao's hands, but would have been destroyed by Tianyu Pavilion first.
The mountain-crossing beast looked at Ao Chen and advised, "Brother Ao, the Tianyu Pavilion is far too powerful. Unless we all advance to the half-step God Emperor level, cooperating with them at this time is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin."
This is no longer a matter of whether or not to seize Tianyu Pavilion; it's about carefully considering even the possibility of cooperation.
The Hun Tian Beast also said, "Indeed, with the Tianyu Pavilion like this, if they were to harbor even the slightest intention towards us, the consequences would be unpredictable."
"We cannot afford to be careless when dealing with Lu Tao and fall into the hands of Tianyu Pavilion; that would be quite ridiculous."
...
Other powerful god-kings also spoke up to offer their advice.
"It is indeed not advisable to cooperate with Tianyu Pavilion at this time."
Ao Chen nodded, of course it understood this principle as well.
The key to cooperation is that the strengths are equal, or at least not too much different.
The strength of Tianyu Pavilion now far exceeds that of the Alliance of Races. Even if Ao Chen is eager, he will not choose to cooperate with Tianyu Pavilion at this time.
Only after a God-King has fully advanced to the Half-Step God-King level can this be considered.
Thinking of this, Ao Chen said to Jie En, "Sect Master Jie, you should go and undergo your tribulation first."
"good!"
Jie En nodded and, without further delay, flew towards the center of the secret realm to begin his tribulation.
Meanwhile, Ao Chen looked at the Heavenly Frog and said, "Brother Frog, continue to investigate the grudge between Tianyu Pavilion and Lu Tao."
"Um!"
Tianwa nodded slightly and continued his investigation.
This time, it took a long time, and finally, although it was very weak, it said with a strange expression, "Indeed, just as we found out before, there is no grudge between them!"
"ah?"
"No grudges? How could there be no grudges?"
"Could it be that Lu Tao really shielded the causal link between Tianyu Pavilion and himself? How did he manage that?"
All the gods looked puzzled.
They didn't believe that Lu Tao, having no grudges against Tianyu Pavilion, would abandon it when choosing a partner and instead choose another chamber of commerce as a second choice.
This clearly shows that Lu Tao has a problem with Tianyu Pavilion.
It's impossible for them not to have some grudges against each other.
At this moment, Tianwa said with a heavy expression, "But I have discovered another secret of Tianyu Pavilion. I suspect that the reason why Lu Tao did not choose Tianyu Pavilion may be because of this secret."
"What secret?"
All the god-kings looked curiously at the celestial frog.
Tianwa said in a deep voice, "Tianyu Pavilion is hunting down geniuses in the desolate region, and only those geniuses who have the potential to comprehend the Chaos Domain. This seems to be the purpose of Tianyu Pavilion."
