Now that the long-lost Withered Wood Spring Revival Technique had appeared in the hands of True Lord Hao Yue, how could these people not go crazy? Even Luo Xiu didn't expect that the words he casually uttered would be so frightening.
If he knew that his words would lead to such a terrifying chain reaction, he would have chosen to keep his mouth shut. But now that things had come to this, he couldn't let his imagination run wild. He could only hope that the system in his mind could help him and that True Monarch Hao Yue could withstand the pressure from the nine great sects. Because he didn't know much about this world, he unilaterally believed that the Withered Wood Spring Technique was only a product of the continent. He didn't expect that this technique would have such a huge attraction. It was terrifying to the point of making people go crazy.
Seeing these malicious gazes, Luo Xiu deeply realized how big of a mistake he had made. However, he didn't need to worry about his safety for the time being. After all, there were so many people watching, especially experts like the Mountain Guarding King and Ancestor Heavenly Star, so Luo Xiu didn't have to worry about his safety for the time being. However, it was hard to say what would happen in the future. It would be fine if True Monarch Hao Yue could control the situation, but if he couldn't, then it would be troublesome.
Even though he knew that he had committed an unforgivable mistake, Luo Xiu was still extremely calm on the surface. He looked at the people in front of him and chuckled coldly, "I know what everyone is thinking, but unfortunately, this Young Master doesn't know this cultivation method. This Divine Ability's requirements for cultivation are extremely abnormal. My Martial Uncle cultivated it for over three million years before he reached the Small Success Stage. Moreover, the most important thing is that Martial Uncle relied on a Wood Attribute Innate Spirit Object to successfully reach the Entry Stage. After all, my Bright Moon Lineage's inheritance is the Lunar True Scripture. This cultivation method is extremely cold and Yin. It can be said to be the best Yin Attribute cultivation method in the world. If it wasn't for Martial Uncle's accidental harvest back then, our lineage wouldn't have been able to cultivate this cultivation method!"
Although no one believed Luo Xiu's words, and although Luo Xiu spoke with a strong sense of righteousness, everyone knew that he was lying. The heaven-defying technique of the Withered Wood Gaining Spring Technique had actually appeared in the world once again. How could these people not feel their blood boil?
They completely ignored Luo Xiu's words. At this very moment, everyone turned their gazes towards True Monarch Hao Yue, who was undergoing the tribulation. The terrifying strength that True Monarch Hao Yue revealed had once again shocked the world. Such a freak actually grasped the Withered Spring Technique. Such a special ability that could practically be said to defy the heavens and change fate was simply equivalent to a cultivator having a second life. How could these people not covet it?
Almost everyone looked at Hao Yue True Monarch and Luo Xiu at the same time. At this moment, Luo Xiu felt rather helpless. When he realized that he had done something stupid, he wanted to change the target. At the very least, he couldn't shift the attention of these people to him. Although he also knew the Withered Wood Gaining Spring Technique, he didn't believe that these people would let him go if he handed it over.
"Don't look at me like that. Although I heard that the Withered Wood Gaining Spring Technique has been passed down in our sect, to be honest, this Young Master's cultivation isn't enough to cultivate this technique. If you don't believe me, you can ask my Martial Uncle. This Young Master disdains to lie about this. Don't look at me like that. Do you hear me? Otherwise, don't blame this Young Master for mobilizing an army to annihilate your Heavenly Dragon Sect!"
Luo Xiu looked at the people in front of him, especially the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Supreme Elder, who was looking at him with a greedy expression. Luo Xiu couldn't help but glare at him coldly as he spoke.
When the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dragon Sect saw this, he smiled indifferently and continued to look at Luo Xiu like he was looking at prey. He completely ignored Luo Xiu's provocation. This Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dragon Sect was very clear that no matter how Luo Xiu explained himself, it was undeniable that the Withered Wood Gaining Spring Technique was in the hands of Hao Yue True Monarch and this kid in front of him.
Therefore, if the situation wasn't unclear, he wouldn't take the initiative to stir up trouble. The consequence of taking the initiative to do so would be to become the target of public criticism. He wasn't stupid, he knew how awkward his current position was.
Although the Heavenly Dragon Sect had schemed against Hao Yue City, the Heavenly Dragon Sect didn't suffer any major losses. The disciples that were sacrificed were only mid-level cultivators. Although it was a serious blow to the Heavenly Dragon Sect's foundation, it wasn't enough to harm their foundation.
Therefore, for the current Xue Jingming, the existence of the Heavenly Dragon Sect could be abandoned. As long as he could obtain the Withered Wood Coming Spring Art, even if he had to exchange the future of the Heavenly Dragon Sect for it, he could accept it. After all, the Heavenly Dragon Sect was established by him and it was used to gather resources for him. If he could obtain the Withered Wood Coming Spring Art at the right time, even if he had to sacrifice the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Xue Jingming could accept it.
At this moment, Luo Xiu felt helpless in the face of this old man's attitude. At the same time, he quietly turned his gaze to the others. Luo Xiu noticed that although the others' gazes weren't as fervent as Xue Jingming's, they were still flickering. Although their words were very polite, Luo Xiu knew that in order to obtain the Withered Wood Gaining Spring Technique, these old men were definitely holding back.
Time passed slowly. After True Monarch Hao Yue used the Withered Wood Gaining Spring Technique, no matter how terrifying the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was, it couldn't cause any harm to him. More importantly, because he used the Withered Wood Gaining Spring Technique, the Withered Wood Gaining Spring Technique had an extremely abnormal ability. After the Withered Wood Gaining Spring Technique was used, the endless lightning within the Heavenly Tribulation became the source of energy for True Monarch Hao Yue to accumulate.
As time passed, in the final moments of the Heavenly Tribulation, True Monarch Hao Yue was like a whale, crazily swallowing all the lightning energy of the Heavenly Tribulation into his body. Even Luo Xiu couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement when he saw this scene.
This was because even he himself didn't expect True Monarch Hao Yue to be so terrifying. Even without the help of the system, this old man was actually able to absorb all the lightning energy of the Heavenly Tribulation as nutrients. Such a terrifying ability really made others feel envious. No wonder it attracted the greed of so many people.
However, at this very moment, Luo Xiu didn't know that True Monarch Hao Yue had revealed this ability in front of everyone because he had no other choice. This was because he was very clear on the significance of his Heavenly Tribulation this time. He also understood even more clearly how dangerous Luo Xiu was in the outside world. Therefore, True Monarch Hao Yue gambled everything he had without holding back.
Moreover, it wasn't as difficult as he imagined. He forcefully restrained the lightning energy in his body. True Monarch Hao Yue discovered that he could accomplish this extremely easily. It was completely different from what he had tried before. Moreover, because the Sky Demon's Doppelganger helped him share the burden, he actually didn't suffer much damage. Coupled with the heaven-defying might of the Heavenly Tribulation, True Monarch Hao Yue only appeared very miserable. In reality, True Monarch Hao Yue's current battle prowess was absolutely at his peak.
As a matter of fact, True Monarch Hao Yue even had the time to pay attention to the situation outside the wastelands when he was undergoing the tribulation. Although True Monarch Hao Yue's body was currently in great pain, the benefits he had obtained were enviable. Let alone the other benefits, just the toughness of his body was far beyond the reach of Saints.
True Monarch Hao Yue glanced at the crowd gathered in the distance. In particular, when he saw Luo Xiu's helpless expression, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of admiration. For True Monarch Hao Yue, there was nothing wrong with Luo Xiu's previous handling of the situation. It was no exaggeration to say that Luo Xiu had previously minimized the danger.
True Monarch Hao Yue had seen Luo Xiu's subsequent handling of the situation. Although he couldn't move for the time being, True Monarch Hao Yue was very satisfied with Luo Xiu. This little guy had the courage and responsibility to do things, and he didn't lack courage. Therefore, True Monarch Hao Yue sincerely nurtured this disciple of his cheap junior brother as his successor.
At this moment, seeing him surrounded by a pack of wolves, True Monarch Hao Yue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He knew that he would have to rely on himself from now on. Moreover, it was thanks to Luo Xiu that he was able to break through to the Supreme Layer this time. Therefore, True Monarch Hao Yue had already made up his mind. After resolving the crisis of the spatial passage, he would first hand over the management of Hao Yue City to Luo Xiu, letting him integrate all the forces in Hao Yue City. True Monarch Hao Yue even wanted to see how far this little guy could lead Hao Yue City.
After more than thirty years of development, Hao Yue City had changed greatly. Because of True Monarch Hao Yue's existence, Hao Yue City didn't have to worry about the influence of external enemies. However, there were internal conflicts that needed to be resolved urgently.
After all, whether it was the various aristocratic families in the city or the loose cultivators who joined later, although they appeared to be very respectful on the surface, these guys all had their own plans. It was somewhat inappropriate to say that they were in a state of disunity, but they really couldn't be said to be united.
Raising his head to look at the sky, True Monarch Hao Yue couldn't help but smile. Then, he suddenly inhaled, and a pulsing suction force was emitted from his body, directly enveloping an area of several million kilometers. Endless violent yuan qi of the world madly surged towards the area where True Monarch Hao Yue was like swallows returning to their nest. Even the many experts at the edge of the desert saw this scene.
Everyone stared at True Monarch Hao Yue below, somewhat flabbergasted. At this very moment, endless yuan qi of the world enveloped True Monarch Hao Yue's body at the same time as the lightning above his head. He simply seemed like a god. The powerful pressure that came from his soul made some of the weaker cultivators feel very uncomfortable, and they once again distanced themselves from this area.
At this very moment, even Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel excited when he saw this scene. He knew very well that True Monarch Hao Yue would have no problems at all. Overcoming this heavenly tribulation was basically a done deal. Therefore, he also appeared very excited. Even though he still felt uncomfortable at the moment, it was still within his acceptable range.
However, looking at these people in front of him, Luo Xiu was currently thinking about how to fool these people in front of him in the shortest amount of time possible, so that they wouldn't dare to attack Hao Yue City for the time being. Then, taking advantage of this period of time, he and True Monarch Hao Yue would go kill those demon experts who destroyed the seal.
Luo Xiu understood that as long as these demon experts were all killed, Luo Xiu believed that it wouldn't be a problem for Hao Yue City to rest and recuperate for tens of thousands of years.
At that time, at that time, there might not even be a need for the demons to forcefully break through the formation. They might even take the initiative to open this spatial passage. At that time, conquering the Black Demon Region might even happen.
Then, everyone saw a shocking scene. True Monarch Hao Yue seemed to have expanded a hundred times or a thousand times in an instant. Boundless imposing aura was emitted from his body. Then, all the thunderbolts in the world seemed to have been pulled, directly entering True Monarch Hao Yue's body. At the same time, he crazily devoured the spiritual energy of the world around him. After completely absorbing the heavenly tribulation above his head, True Monarch Hao Yue's body returned to its original appearance.
However, at this moment, True Monarch Hao Yue had once again returned to his middle-aged appearance, just like an ordinary middle-aged man. It could be said that he had completely changed his appearance. However, when the people present saw this scene, they all became more vigilant, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Luo Xiu hastily flew out and arrived at True Monarch Hao Yue's side. He respectfully saluted him, then loudly said, "Congratulations on the great progress of your cultivation, Martial Uncle. This time, you really went too smoothly. Hehe, it's the honor of my Hao Yue lineage!"
After saying this, Luo Xiu secretly glanced at the people around him. His words had a deeper meaning. Moreover, when he spoke loudly, he had already told True Monarch Hao Yue everything that had happened here during this period of time. At the same time, he also mentioned the 'Withering Wood Spring Technique'.
After all, True Monarch Hao Yue had indeed used this technique just now. Because of this technique, he would definitely stir up a storm again. Luo Xiu didn't believe that True Monarch Hao Yue hadn't thought about it before. However, he still had to worry about the fact that True Monarch Hao Yue had just broken through and didn't have any advantage against those old and powerful experts. At the same time, the 'Withering Wood Spring Technique' was equivalent to having an extra life for cultivators at any level. How could people not go crazy over this? He was very worried that True Monarch Hao Yue wouldn't be able to control the situation.
True Monarch Hao Yue nodded to Luo Xiu, indicating that he understood Luo Xiu's meaning. Then he turned to look at the people around him. His face revealed a smile that wasn't a smile. His eyes were filled with an expression that made people feel very uncomfortable. Some of the people present were angry but didn't dare to say anything.
