Luo Xiu didn't think that they would reason with him. Moreover, the current situation clearly showed that the state of the person who'd refined and absorbed the Primordial Violet Energy couldn't be any worse. So, Luo Xiu wished for nothing more than for that person to succeed.
Even if he would have to face unknown dangers at that time, it would be much better than being attacked by a group of people. Because a portion of them would be able to view the matter calmly and wouldn't attack him en masse. At that time, he would have a chance to flee even if a Half-step Monarch Realm expert attacked him. However, he wasn't confident in his ability to face the joint attacks of a few hundred peak Saint Realm experts.
Even though it hadn't taken much effort for him to deal with those Monarch Realm experts who'd just broken through, only he knew how difficult it was to deal with them. Moreover, his entire body would be exhausted after every single battle, and the system would severely overdraft its energy reserves. So, unless he had no other choice, Luo Xiu wouldn't do something that didn't benefit him at all.
In his opinion, so long as he was able to deal with the problem he was facing and break through into the Monarch Realm as soon as possible, then he was prepared to leave this world and wander the other dimensions.
Time passed slowly. At this moment, Luo Xiu was clearly able to sense that the others around him had faintly surrounded him. They seemed to have realized how serious the problem was, and they weren't as excited as they were before this. At this moment, all of them were waiting for that Ancestor to break through. Once that Ancestor was unable to break through successfully or perished on the way, then Luo Xiu didn't doubt that these 10 plus people around him would definitely attack him without saying a word. The most important thing was to restrain Luo Xiu. At this moment, even Luo Xiu had such understanding, let alone the others. At this moment, the gazes they shot at Luo Xiu even carried traces of hostility.
At this moment, Luo Xiu raised his head to look at the sky while seeming to be lost in thought. It wasn't the first time he'd seen someone break through into the Monarch Realm. However, the scene before him made him laugh bitterly because the thing he didn't wish to see the most had still occurred. Originally, if that person had succeeded in refining and absorbing the Primordial Violet Energy, then tribulation clouds would have converged in the sky. However, as he gazed at the clear sky above him, Luo Xiu knew that the thing he was most worried about had still occurred.
At the same time, when he thought about how the members of the Four Direction Trading Company had actually allowed a fellow with a weak foundation to break through using a Natural Quintessence Grand Dao, Luo Xiu felt like cursing in his heart............
At this moment, when he saw these people solemnly surrounding him, Luo Xiu knew that this matter really couldn't be resolved peacefully. It was very likely that he would have to fight a tough battle soon. Thus, he no longer hesitated and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.
Since that person had failed to break through, it was useless for him to say anything more. After all, a failure was a failure. It wasn't difficult to tell from the way these people behaved. These people from the Four Direction Trading Company were used to killing people, so they attached great importance to results. Since the Quintessence Grand Dao provided by Luo Xiu didn't allow them to achieve their ideal benefits, these people would absolutely not let him go. However, he wasn't too worried. Under the current circumstances, he had plenty of ways to escape.
The only thing that made Luo Xiu feel slightly gratified was that the people from the Four Direction Trading Company didn't know that their ancestor had failed to break through. Feeling the Heavenly Dao Laws that were still rapidly active in the air, Luo Xiu knew that something unknown must have happened during the process of this person's breakthrough. Otherwise, there should be thunder and lightning all over the sky at this moment. It was absolutely impossible for it to be so calm.
"Fellow Daoist, I think I need an explanation. Why did my ancestor not only show no signs of breaking through after using the Quintessence Grand Dao you provided, but his body also showed signs of deficiency? Is there a problem with my ancestor, or is there a problem with your Quintessence Grand Dao?"
Just as Luo Xiu was thinking about this, the void trembled slightly, and Xu Xianchu's figure suddenly appeared in front of Luo Xiu. He looked at Luo Xiu expressionlessly, and the eagerness in his voice was not concealed at all.
It couldn't be helped. The failure of the ancestor's breakthrough that they had placed high hopes on had almost drained the spirit and energy of most of the people present. They themselves were truly at a loss because Luo Xiu's previous performance and his unconcerned attitude had caused the hearts of the people present to be much more at ease. However, as time passed, there was no result after a long time, and it was slowly obliterating the fluke in their hearts.
The people present weren't idiots. More or less, they'd experienced the process of various breakthroughs in their cultivations. At this moment, they were already able to imagine the terrifying outcome after their own Ancestor failed to break through. To them, at this moment, the gazes they shot at Luo Xiu were filled with undisguised killing intent that practically assaulted their faces.
"Haha, this situation can't be blamed on Old Man. I've already said it very clearly before. You have personally examined the Innate Hong Meng Purple Qi. There's no problem at all. As for why your ancestor failed to break through, there's nothing to say. It's because your ancestor's foundation is not good enough. The speed at which he gathers the Heavenly Dao Laws is three or four times slower than my ancestor's. With such a poor foundation, it's already fortunate for him to be able to survive!
What are all of you still dreaming about?
Under such circumstances, all of you wouldn't believe me no matter what I say. So long as all of you calm down and wait for a moment, then your ancestor will know if I'm telling the truth once his cultivation stabilizes. I don't know why he failed to break through, but his path forward hasn't been severed. This is something that I can guarantee. Moreover, if it wasn't for your ancestor consuming numerous breakthrough medicinal pills during his cultivation, then how could he have fallen to such a state? Even though these medicinal pills don't affect him much, they can be fatal at a critical moment. So, your ancestor being able to stay alive and his cultivation stopping at the Half-step Monarch Realm is already your greatest gain. Yet you're still not satisfied? Could it be that you really think that Old Man was joking just now? I tried to negotiate with all of you nicely, and I was waiting here for your ancestor to break through, yet such a situation occurred instead. Could it be that all of you really think that I'm easy to bully …!? "
Luo Xiu's tone became ghastly as he looked at the experts of the Four Directions Trading Company in the surroundings. He spoke in a mocking tone as he completely ignored their extremely unsightly expressions.
After he finished speaking, Luo Xiu's body tensed up as he circulated the strength in his body to the extreme. He was always on guard against any possible bombardment of magical powers. Although he had expected this kind of hostile situation, he still felt a little helpless when faced with this situation. Although he was confident in his cultivation, he still didn't want to have any conflicts with these people if he could avoid conflict with them. Of course, he wasn't afraid of these people, but he felt that it was unnecessary. As long as these people dared to attack, he wouldn't show any mercy. Not to mention whether these people in the field could keep him here or not, he had nowhere to vent his suppressed anger. Therefore, at this moment, Luo Xiu's heart was extremely conflicted.
Moreover, Luo Xiu found that the people he was afraid of before were now surrounding the old ancestor of the Four Directions Trading Company to protect him. Although the remaining people looked aggressive, in fact, if they really fought with Luo Xiu, it was not certain who would win or lose. After all, with his current cultivation, even if he couldn't burst out all of his strength because of the Divine Body Refining Art, he could still suppress these people in the field with just 50% of his strength.
Moreover, Luo Xiu always believed that some of these people in the Four Directions Trading Company definitely understood the meaning of Luo Xiu's words. They just hadn't reacted for the time being. Luo Xiu had already made it so clear. If they still intended to attack him, then Luo Xiu really didn't mind killing them. Although it was very likely that he would be powerless to reverse the situation and would have to abandon his current body, compared to the risk he would have to face, he felt that this was the best way to solve the problem of his body. "All of you, go away.
Who allowed you to surround the distinguished guest of our Four Directions Trading Company? The Ancestor has already said that the failure of the Ancestor's breakthrough has nothing to do with the Innate Primordial Violet Qi provided by this Fellow Daoist. Moreover, the Ancestor asked me to thank Fellow Daoist. If it wasn't for Fellow Daoist's advice, then our Ancestor might really have died. Although he hasn't successfully advanced to the Monarch Realm, maintaining his half-step Monarch Realm cultivation is still very helpful to the stability of the Four Directions Territory. At the very least, it alleviated our current powerless situation. Moreover, if the Ancestor really breaks through to the Monarch Realm, then the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation isn't something we can withstand. Earlier, Old Man and the others thought too simply and caused Fellow Daoist to be misunderstood by us. We were too narrow-minded, so I hope Fellow Daoist doesn't mind our earlier rudeness! "Xu Xianchu was full of smiles at this moment as he respectfully explained to Luo Xiu.
As he spoke, he waved his hand to dismiss all the experts around Luo Xiu. At this moment, his heart was actually very complicated as he faced Luo Xiu. Because of Luo Xiu, his Ancestor had bravely taken that step, but the failure of the Ancestor's breakthrough had almost caused them to lose their minds. This made him secretly happy.
At this moment, the Four Directions Trading Company couldn't afford any losses. As a top-grade Saint, if the outside world were to find out that their Ancestor had almost died, then the entire Four Directions Territory would be thrown into turmoil.
More importantly, his Ancestor had just transmitted a very strange message to him. The origin of the innate Hong Meng Violet Qi that Luo Xiu had provided to them was definitely not simple. This was because the laws of heaven contained within the innate Hong Meng Violet Qi were much more complete than the laws of heaven nurtured in the Skyfall Domain. Even if it wasn't complete, it was still more complete than any Origin Great Dao they had seen before.
Therefore, the Four Directions Ancestor had specially instructed him to get on good terms with Luo Xiu, which was why Xu Xianchu was acting so courteously. As for Luo Xiu, he didn't care about how these people behaved. Under the current circumstances, it was clear that he had a chance to leave, so he was no longer as vigilant as before.
Most of the time, abundant resources can't bring us any benefits and might even hinder our cultivation path. Most importantly, your ancestor's future hasn't been cut off. On the contrary, his breakthrough this time has given him a chance to advance further. As long as he solidifies his foundation and accumulates enough, he might be able to take that step successfully. The length of time he takes depends on the efficiency of tempering his foundation. Therefore, you don't have to be so discouraged. As long as he calms himself down and tempers his foundation for a thousand years and polishes his foundation, he'll definitely be able to take that step and advance to the supreme King Realm.
This is something that my Ancestral Master once told me personally. Now, I will also tell this to everyone present. I hope that everyone can work together! "
Luo Xiu swept his gaze over the people in the acting field and spoke in a leisurely tone. The way he flaunted his seniority in his words caused the people in the field, especially the group of people who surrounded him earlier, to be angry but not dare to say anything.
It's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Luo's advice that the Old Man was able to overcome that crisis. Those four Origin Pills weren't wasted, and they allowed the Old Man to overcome the most difficult moment. Alas, it's also because the Old Man was a little selfish. If he had given the Primordial Violet Energy to Xian Chu, then perhaps she would have been able to successfully break through to the Monarch Realm and wouldn't have had such a misunderstanding. Disperse, there are some things that all of you can't come into contact with right now. Hurry up and return to your posts. There's still a huge storm that we need to deal with. Even though I didn't cause too much of a commotion when I broke through, it has actually drawn the attention of others. We can't afford to be rash at this moment. Once the outside world finds out about this, it's very likely that the incident that occurred here will bring calamity to us. What are all of you standing there for?
There's nothing for all of you to do here, so hurry up and return to the Old Man! "
As soon as Luo Xiu finished speaking, an aged voice suddenly resounded. Luo Xiu turned around and saw a haggard old man walking over to Luo Xiu with the support of two others. The corners of Luo Xiu's mouth twitched as he gazed at the aged Ancestor of the Four Directions Sect, and he was extremely speechless in his heart. This old fellow really is a little too confident.
It was very obvious that the old fellow's body was in an even worse state than he'd imagined. If it was Xian Chu who used the Primordial Violet Energy, then perhaps she would have succeeded in breaking through. However, the old man's body had already started to decline, and his bodily functions had deteriorated severely. It could be said that he'd practically entered the Heavenly Decay Stage.
