"Pavilion Master Yan, fellow Daoists, I apologize for any offense caused earlier."
Shi Shu clasped his hands in greeting to Yan Zhi and the other god-kings.
Previously, Yan Zhi had recommended his time-manipulation ability, which was tantamount to speaking on his behalf and taking the initiative to seek reconciliation. Naturally, he took the opportunity to back down and chose to resolve the grudges with Yan Zhi and the others.
Yan Zhi nodded and smiled, "It's all a misunderstanding, it's alright."
Although the other God-Kings of Huanyang Pavilion did not look too pleased, they naturally had no other opinions since the Pavilion Master had taken the initiative to reconcile with Shi Shu.
They all nodded in acknowledgment, which was considered a resolution to their grievances.
"Alright, now that this matter is settled, let's return to the Lava Clan."
Seeing this, Ao Yu nodded in satisfaction. Then, under his leadership, Shi Shu, Mo Niu, and other powerful figures followed him to the Lava Clan.
As for the bounties, they have not been cancelled.
after all.
Guesses are just guesses and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Since such a high price has already been paid, posting the bounty for another ten days is nothing.
Even if the chance is small, as long as it can prevent Lu Tao from collecting all three thousand domains, it will all be worth it.
However, Ao Yu immediately arranged for a God-King level expert to capture all the geniuses in Jin Fu Lou.
After Ao Yu and the other God Kings left, Yan Zhi and the others immediately headed to the main pavilion.
To his relief, the Huanyang Pavilion branch was not attacked.
However, many members of the branch chose to leave.
Yan Zhi didn't care about this.
To his surprise, Lu Tao never contacted him again.
He had expected Lu Tao to be angry and resentful, and to let him enjoy Lu Tao's powerless rage, but instead, there was no reaction at all.
"Doesn't Lu Tao know about this?"
Yan Zhi couldn't help but make this guess.
After all, his choice to cooperate with the True Dragon Clan and the subsequent conversations took only a quarter of an hour.
However, he knew that Lu Tao seemed to be observing everything from a distance during each transaction. He had heard about what had happened in front of Qingyue Residence from the owner of Qingyue Residence.
therefore.
Yan Zhi was also aware that his earlier actions of sending two powerful individuals to intercept the special prodigy had already caught Lu Tao's attention, and even those two subordinates had perished at Lu Tao's hands.
This is another reason why Yan Zhi chose to cooperate with the True Dragon Clan.
He had already offended Lu Tao long before he secretly put pressure on him, and with his hesitation today, this was the third time he had offended him.
He really couldn't place his hopes on Lu Tao's magnanimity anymore.
"Fortunately, this happened; otherwise, how would we have had the chance to obtain the Primordial Chaos Technique?"
Yan Zhi smiled to himself.
He was very grateful for the unexpected event of Shi Shu. If it hadn't happened, he wouldn't have offended Lu Tao and wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with the True Dragon Clan.
Naturally, they had no idea that in ten days, the True Dragon Clan would be confident in finding and capturing Lu Tao.
Now, he has the opportunity to obtain the Hunyuan Technique, as well as other secrets about Lu Tao.
This outcome is like a godsend for him.
This is also why he took the initiative to reconcile with Shi Shu and did not hold a grudge against him.
otherwise.
Given everything Shi Shu had done to Huanyang Pavilion, even seriously injuring himself, how could he so easily let it go? He would have to get some compensation from Shi Shu.
"Let's go, to the Lava Clan."
Without further thought, Yan Zhi immediately led the remaining less than 60% of the Huan Yang Pavilion members, packed everything up, and headed towards the Lava Clan.
In just a quarter of an hour, Yan Zhi arrived at the Lava Clan.
At this moment, a hint of joy could be seen on the faces of the other powerful members of the Lava Clan.
Upon seeing this, Yan Zhi's heart stirred.
At this moment, Ao Yu also came to greet him with great joy and welcomed him into the Lava Clan. On the way, Ao Yu told him some good news.
Shi Shu's time-manipulation abilities can be of great help to the Lava Clan in their weapon-forging.
After testing, it is possible to safely double the speed of weapon crafting.
In this way, it won't take ten days; it will only take about five days to successfully forge the two divine artifacts.
"Very good!"
Yan Zhi was overjoyed.
The sooner Lu Tao is found and captured, the sooner he can feel at ease; otherwise, he will always have to worry about Lu Tao's retaliation.
Next.
Yan Zhi then entered the place arranged by Ao Yu, and together with the many god-kings of Huanyang Pavilion, began to heal their wounds, waiting for the moment when they could find Lu Tao.
——
"Yan Zhi, Yan Zhi, you're being so irrational."
Inside the small world, Lu Tao observed Yan Zhi's choice and sighed slightly.
I wouldn't say I was disappointed.
After all, he did not place his hopes of obtaining the Time Technique on Yan Zhi.
As for Yan Zhi's choice, he didn't care.
The mere Huanyang Pavilion is nothing to Lu Tao; having another hostile force is like having too many lice to not feel the itch.
Anyway, he didn't have a good impression of Huanyang Pavilion to begin with, and he was even planning to expose their abduction of customers afterward.
Now, things have gotten much better; without even being exposed, we're already enemies.
"However, Yan Zhi's choice has made it impossible for me to fleece the True Dragon Clan anymore. This debt will be settled with Yan Zhi."
Lu Tao felt somewhat regretful.
He knew very well that since Yan Zhi had chosen to join the various races' camp, he would inevitably reveal that Yan Zhi had traded cultivation techniques, and his hope of getting any more benefits from him was extremely slim.
As expected.
Not long after, the Celestial Hound came to him and said, "Boss, suddenly several god-kings from various races have come to Jin Fu Lou, seemingly preparing to attack our clones. They are currently discussing with the powerful figures of Jin Fu Lou. What should we do?"
Lu Tao said, "Now that things have been exposed, let all the clones collapse."
"Yes, boss."
The Celestial Hound immediately sent a message to the clones of Wu Ming, Chen An, Su Peng, and others, instructing them to scatter. Then, the Celestial Hound asked, "Boss, what about the bounty?"
"The bounty will naturally be cancelled as well, leaving only the bounty for the time-manipulation technique."
This matter needs to be handled by Lu Tao himself, as only he possesses the communication marks of the various chambers of commerce.
Lu Tao immediately contacted other chambers of commerce, asking them to cancel the other bounties.
The only remaining method is the Time-Based Cultivation Technique, and the bounty continues.
This incident sparked discussions among many creatures in the desolate region.
"My God, that's fast! Lu Tao is almost at the point of collecting three thousand domains."
"Three thousand realms, the Chaos Realm, my God, this is unprecedented! I never thought it would appear in our time."
"I really hope he comprehends the Chaos Domain soon, and I also hope that in the future I will have the opportunity to see what the Chaos Domain is really like."
Countless living beings discussed this extensively.
At the same time, we are full of expectations for it.
They eagerly anticipate that Lu Tao will be able to gather all three thousand domains and become an unparalleled genius in the desolate region, possessing a chaotic domain unlike anything ever recorded in history.
——
"Lu Tao! In five more days, we will surely kill you!"
On the other side.
When Ao Yu and the other God Kings learned that the God Kings they had sent to Jin Fu Lou wanted to take away those geniuses, before they could reach a conclusion with Jin Fu Lou, many of the geniuses at Jin Fu Lou mysteriously disappeared.
This situation is exactly the same as when Lu Tao's clone disintegrated.
The number of prodigies who disappeared reached a total of thirty-six.
This means...
They were deceived by Lu Tao thirty-six times.
Upon learning this result, Ao Yu felt his vision blur.
Of the thirty-seven transactions, only one was genuine.
The true dragon bloodline, the objects of rules, the resources they sacrificed for this...
It all ended up in Lu Tao's pocket.
This made Ao Yu so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Although he had guessed before that Lu Tao might only have one cultivation technique left to acquire, he thought that possibility was unlikely.
I never expected that something I almost thought was impossible would come true so quickly.
"Why is Lu Tao so lucky?"
Ao Yu couldn't understand it.
Why should I?
Everyone is offering bounties, so why is Lu Tao able to trade 36 times while I only trade once?
The difference is just too big.
"But it'll be over soon, just five days. I'll let you enjoy yourself for another five days!"
——
"Finally, Lu Tao is almost able to collect three thousand domains."
On the other side.
After the bounty was cancelled, Sect Master Luo learned that Lu Tao only had one domain left to comprehend, and his aged face couldn't help but show an expression of great excitement.
She hadn't expected that in just over a month since Lu Tao posted the bounty, he had already offered a reward for nearly 170 rare cultivation techniques. This speed far exceeded her expectations.
"Shi Shu, Yan Zhi...you deserve to die!"
Sect Master Luo already knew about the Huanyang Pavilion incident, and naturally also knew that Shi Shu possessed a time-manipulation technique and had taken action against Lu Tao.
Both Shi Shu and Yan Zhi made her extremely angry.
However, she did not have the ability to foresee the future, so naturally she could not stop it.
As for now, all that can be done is impotent rage.
At most, he will take action on Lu Tao's behalf in the future to punish these two enemies.
"Of the three thousand great paths, time reigns supreme, and time-based cultivation techniques are undoubtedly the rarest. If we miss this opportunity..."
Sect Master Luo prayed silently, "I only hope that the Time-Traveling Technique will appear as soon as possible and not be delayed for too long."
——
at the same time.
Inside the small world, the Celestial Hound asked with some concern, "Boss, without a time cultivation technique, how long will it take you to comprehend the Time Domain?"
Lu Tao smiled helplessly, "It's possible anytime, but it's too taxing, and I'm a little reluctant to do it."
After more than a month of faith from tens of thousands of planets in the lower realm, Lu Tao's accumulated faith points have become incredibly high.
but.
If you were to use it to pray for enlightenment in the realm of time, you would almost exhaust it all.
Compared to that, trading a Transformation Pill for a time-based cultivation technique is undoubtedly more cost-effective.
So Lu Tao decided to wait a little longer.
but.
Before waiting, Lu Tao also prepared to make a prayer to see if any living beings would come to trade time-limited cultivation techniques in the near future.
But the result was...
No!
"It seems that having missed the dawn, we can only rely on the idol of prayer to comprehend the realm of time."
Lu Tao shook his head helplessly.
Then.
Lu Tao wasted no more time and prayed without hesitation, hoping his wish would be fulfilled...
