"Lu Tao, do you know why Minghu and Cangyuan betrayed us?"
Although she trusted Lu Tao, she was still somewhat puzzled.
With the rule talisman in place, her and Sect Master Nie's human identities will not be exposed. Therefore, powerful figures like Minghu and Cangyuan have no reason to betray them.
After all, in her view, Lu Tao posed a greater threat than all the other clans and Tianyu Pavilion combined.
Lu Tao glanced at Sect Master Luo with a complicated expression and said, "Tianyu Pavilion has known your true identities for a long time."
"this……"
The old face of the Luo Sect Master was filled with shock.
She never imagined that the illusion talisman, which the human ancestors had painstakingly created, had already been seen through by the Tianyu Pavilion, but had simply not been exposed.
This made her feel very upset.
The mighty human race made every effort to rise to power, but in the face of a truly colossal being, all their efforts seemed so laughable.
Fortunately, Tianyu Pavilion had no ambition to dominate the desolate region.
That's not right either. No matter how powerful the human race is, they pose no threat to the Tianyu Pavilion.
"Perhaps, in the eyes of the Tianyu Pavilion, these actions of our human race are nothing but clowns."
Master Luo felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
On the other hand, it is fortunate that Tianyu Pavilion has no hostility towards the human race; otherwise, the human race would probably have been wiped out by the other races many years ago.
With a multitude of thoughts racing through his mind, Sect Master Luo was somewhat unsure of what to do and asked directly, "Lu Tao, shall the auction continue?"
"Yes, the auction will continue. It will not be affected for the time being. Just follow my plan."
Lu Tao nodded; his true form had been planning the next steps through prayer.
Sect Master Luo nodded emphatically and said, "Alright, just tell me what you need. By the way, should we tell the Human Emperor and Sect Master Nie about this? Should I call them over?"
"Alright." After pondering for a moment, Lu Tao nodded in agreement.
Next, he will face the combined forces of the Alliance of All Races and the Heavenly Pavilion. Currently, with his mere cultivation at the peak of the Divine Lord realm, he is finding it somewhat difficult.
It would be even better if we had the help of three half-step God Emperor level experts.
"Alright, I'll go and invite them over right away."
Sect Leader Luo left in a hurry, her mind preoccupied. She still showed sufficient respect to the Human Emperor and Sect Leader Nie, not sending a message to summon them, but personally inviting them over.
soon.
The Human Emperor and Sect Master Nie then went to the top floor.
Upon entering the room, the Human Emperor immediately clasped his hands and bowed deeply upon seeing Lu Tao's clone, saying with a face full of apology, "Sect Master Lu, the matter in the lower realm was my fault, I apologize!"
"You're certainly good at taking things in stride!"
Lu Tao was slightly surprised by the actions of Emperor Mu Xuan. As the emperor of a clan, to bow and apologize to Lu Tao, who was only a clone, in front of two half-step god emperors was something that ordinary people could not do.
Even Sect Master Nie and Sect Master Luo looked at the Human Emperor with considerable surprise.
The emperor, however, remained oblivious to all of this.
Lu Tao nodded and said calmly, "Yes, the matter in the lower realm did not cause any damage. Let bygones be bygones, and there is no need to mention it again."
Thank you!
The Emperor nodded silently. He, who had looked very weak, now felt much more relaxed.
"Greetings, Sect Master Lu!"
Sect Leader Nie was tall and had striking fiery red hair. He first greeted Lu Tao, then looked at Sect Leader Luo and said, "Sect Leader Luo, Sect Leader Lu, why have you summoned us...?"
"Tianyu Pavilion will likely take action against us, and also..."
Sect Leader Luo did not hide anything and told her everything that Lu Tao had told her.
The Emperor and Sect Master Nie were immediately horrified upon hearing this.
"What? The Heavenly Pavilion and the Alliance of Races have joined forces against our human race?"
"The Heavenly Pavilion knew our identities all along?"
Both of them were horrified. The things that Sect Master Luo said were completely unimaginable to them. If they were true, it would be a catastrophe for the human race.
The Human Emperor hurriedly asked, "Sect Master Luo, Sect Master Lu, there's been no news about these things in the Desolate Region. How did you find out?"
Sect Leader Luo looked at Lu Tao, though she herself was also puzzled.
Lu Tao shook his head and said, "You don't need to ask these questions. I, Lu, would never joke about the life and death of the human race."
The three of them fell silent upon hearing this.
They knew that Lu Tao must possess some extraordinary means to know these secrets, even things that hadn't happened yet, and that he didn't want them to know.
As for whether what Lu Tao said was true or false, they didn't doubt it.
If it's fake, lying to them won't do Lu Tao any good, unless Lu Tao isn't human.
But that's obviously impossible.
Informing humanity of these potential events, so that they may be alerted and prepared, is clearly not as good as keeping humanity in the dark and ultimately slaughtering them.
Sect Master Luo asked nervously, "Then... Lu Tao, what should we do next?"
Master Luo had no idea what to do next.
Not to mention her, even the Human Emperor and Sect Master Nie were at a loss.
That's the alliance of all races plus the Heavenly Pavilion. Let alone the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape betraying them, even if they didn't, these powerful individuals alone wouldn't have any chance of stopping them.
The Human Emperor and Sect Master Nie could only look to Lu Tao, hoping he had some way to resolve the current predicament.
Lu Tao pondered and said, "Since the Alliance of All Races and the Tianyu Pavilion are going to take action against the human race, we naturally cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom. We must make them pay a heavy price."
It's just that his cultivation level is still low, and he's not confident that he can wipe out all these powerful individuals in one fell swoop. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just paying a price.
The Human Emperor and Sect Master Nie exchanged a glance, both noticing a hint of suspicion in each other's eyes.
Since those God-Kings at the peak are undergoing tribulation to become half-step God-Emperors, how can the three of them and Lu Tao alone make them pay a heavy price?
This statement seems somewhat unbelievable.
"Cough cough..."
Sect Master Luo coughed and asked, "What are the specific plans?"
Buzz!
Lu Tao suddenly reached out and took out a milky white pill, saying, "The first thing is to help the Emperor recover from his injuries."
"A top-grade Heaven-Mending Divine King Pill?"
Upon seeing this, the three members of the Luo Sect couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The Heaven-Mending Divine King Pill is a precious healing medicine, and as its name suggests, it is specifically designed to repair the body.
For someone like the Human Emperor, whose physical body is in a state of near-collapse, taking this kind of elixir is most suitable.
but.
The materials for refining the Heaven-Mending Divine King Pill are extremely difficult to gather, especially the medicinal kings among them. Many of them have almost become extinct in the desolate region, and even the Heavenly Pavilion probably doesn't have them.
That's secondary; the most difficult part is actually the refining process.
Even for a prodigy with exceptional talent, successfully refining any kind of elixir requires a certain amount of luck, and more often than not, it requires one or two practice attempts before it can be successfully refined.
Lu Tao, surprisingly, produced the Heaven-Mending Divine King Pill with such ease.
What shocked them even more was that this was a top-grade Divine King Pill, which was simply unbelievable.
You need to know.
Neither Lu Tao nor the disciples of the Immortal Sect had reached the God King realm. Even if they were injured, they would not need such pills, let alone high-grade God King pills.
Clearly, this pill was specially made by Lu Tao for the Human Emperor.
It has only been less than half an hour since the Emperor was injured.
"You refined a top-grade Heaven-Mending Divine King Pill in less than half an hour?"
The thought of this possibility only made the three members of the Luo Sect Master even more shocked. Although they had some understanding of Lu Tao's talent, they now realized that their understanding of Lu Tao was only the tip of the iceberg.
"No, this pill formula was probably something he figured out on the spot..."
The shock in the heart of Sect Master Luo was even deeper than that of the other two.
She gave Lu Tao the Heaven-Mending Divine King Pill, and only a little over a month has passed since then. During this time, Lu Tao must have spent all his time comprehending the domain.
As for comprehending the elixir formula...
It's likely that he only realized this after the Human Emperor was injured.
To be precise, he probably just realized it, then refined the elixir, and then took it out.
After all, she hadn't told Lu Tao her suspicions before, and Lu Tao hadn't forgiven the Emperor at all, so there was no way he would prepare medicine to heal him.
"How long have we been talking?"
Sect Master Luo felt a little dazed.
She and Lu Tao had only talked for a short while, and frankly, they couldn't do anything in that time, but Lu Tao...
Yet, she accomplished something silently and effortlessly that even she, a half-step God Emperor, thought impossible.
Even with her nearly million-year-old mind, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
"His comprehension is truly unparalleled in the world!"
After the initial shock, Sect Master Luo felt immense joy.
Only a person like this can truly lead humanity out of the wasteland.
No!
It's not just about leaving the desolate region, but about enabling the human race to dominate it, then expand into other regions, and even become...
Thinking of all the possibilities, Sect Master Luo's heart couldn't help but burn with excitement.
"Excellent, this is a top-grade Heaven-Mending Divine King Pill!"
Lu Tao nodded with a smile, not caring about the three people's shock. He looked at the Human Emperor and said, "However, the Human Emperor should be very clear about the value of this pill. I cannot give it to you for nothing."
"That's natural!"
The Human Emperor nodded, knowing full well how valuable this pill was. He looked at Lu Tao expectantly and said, "Sect Master Lu, please name your price."
He was determined to get his hands on this elixir no matter what.
The difference between him when he was half-crippled and when he was at his peak was enormous.
Now that both the Alliance of Races and the Heavenly Pavilion are going to be enemies of the human race, he will fight back with all his might, even if the human race is no match for him.
Lu Tao thought for a moment and said, "How about the Human Emperor gives me all the high-grade materials of the human race?"
Before the Human Emperor could refuse, Lu Tao continued, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not take the human race's materials for nothing. In addition to these pills, I have something else to give you."
After saying that, Lu Tao looked at Sect Master Luo and Sect Master Nie and said, "You two are the same!"
These words piqued the curiosity of the three Emperors. Sect Master Nie said directly, "Sect Master Lu, stop being so mysterious. Since we are all human, and the human race is in trouble now, I am not a stingy person. Why not give Sect Master Lu some materials?"
Immediately afterward, Sect Leader Nie changed the subject, saying, "But the key question is, what exactly is what Sect Leader Lu is referring to?"
Lu Tao laughed and said, "A defensive artifact."
"this……"
Upon hearing this, the three members of the Luo Sect fell silent.
How could a mere defensive artifact compare to the collection the three of them had accumulated over the years?
Seeing this, Lu Tao smiled faintly and continued, "This defensive artifact is no ordinary item; it was forged using the Dragon Transformation Pool as its raw material!"
"What?"
"impossible!"
"Is this... really true?"
Upon hearing this, all three were shocked and stood up.
His aura surged so powerfully that he nearly broke through the array formation in the pavilion.
It's no wonder they were so shocked; it just sounded like a fantasy.
That's the Dragon Transformation Pool, almost comparable to the Ascension Pool.
Lu Tao not only caused damage to it, but he also managed to use the Ascension Pool as raw material to refine it into a divine artifact.
If that's true...
"Hiss..."
The three of them couldn't help but gasp.
They were quite familiar with the Dragon Transformation Pool. Even if the Dragon Transformation Pool was left there untouched, no matter how much they attacked it with the power of various rules, the Dragon Transformation Pool would not suffer any damage.
Let alone forging it into a divine artifact, even just holding a fragment of the Dragon Transformation Pool would increase their self-defense capabilities countless times.
It's no exaggeration to say that...
If the Human Emperor had possessed such a fragment of the Dragon Transformation Pool when he was besieged, he would never have been defeated so quickly, let alone crippled.
They could even turn the tables and kill one or two God-Kings at the peak of their power.
Glug!
Almost subconsciously, the three of them couldn't help but swallow.
This thing is just too attractive to them.
The Emperor asked urgently, "Sect Master Lu, is this really true?"
"nature!"
Upon hearing Lu Tao's affirmative answer, the Human Emperor immediately took out items from the small world and gave them all to Lu Tao.
Things that govern rules, Medicine Kings, God-King level refining materials, formations, pill formulas, cultivation techniques, etc...
Several enormous storage rings were piled up.
He then carefully took the Heaven-Mending Divine King Pill from Lu Tao and put it away, finally feeling relieved.
Upon seeing this, Sect Master Luo and Sect Master Nie also hurriedly took action.
Although they hadn't seen the actual item yet, they didn't have much doubt about Lu Tao.
"good!"
Lu Tao accepted the numerous items, nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at the three of them, asking, "By the way, does the human race currently have no experts at the peak of the God-King realm?"
"No, not a single one!"
Lu Tao continued, "What about the ninth level of the God King realm? Are there any who are just one step away from reaching the Perfect God King realm?"
The Human Emperor remained silent. All the God-Kings in the human territory had been killed, none of them survived.
"Our Xuanming Sect has one!"
"There is one in Luoxian Sect, and another one is still quite a distance from the perfection of the God King realm."
After answering, Sect Leader Luo seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked, "Lu Tao, why are you asking this...?"
Lu Tao laughed and said, "I plan to have them all advance to the peak of God King, and then undergo tribulation to become half-step God Emperor!"
"this……"
"That's probably very difficult."
The Human Emperor and Sect Master Nie hesitated upon hearing this. Although Lu Tao's idea was good, it was unrealistic. However, they were not very familiar with Lu Tao, so they could not refute him at this moment.
Sect Master Luo shook his head with a bitter expression and said, "Lu Tao, I know your thoughts. You want the human race to become stronger, but... you underestimate the difficulty of cultivating to the God King realm. It seems that you are only one step away from becoming a perfect God King, but in reality, it takes thousands or even tens of thousands of years to take that step."
"To put it more dramatically, it's perfectly normal to be stuck at the ninth level of the God King realm for life and never be able to reach the perfection of the God King realm."
Master Luo's words were not exaggerated in the slightest.
The lifespan of a God-King is at most a million years, and many are stuck at the ninth level of God-King for their entire lives.
Even if Lu Tao has extraordinary comprehension, that's his personal ability. How can it help the cultivation of other human god-kings?
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao smiled faintly, took out something, and said, "What if we use this?"
"True dragon bloodline?"
The three of them looked at what Lu Tao was holding, and their breathing quickened...
