The Longhuai Ancestor's moment of hesitation allowed Lu Ping to quickly find the answer. Xiang Laozu had actually given up on cultivating the five realms at the same time at an unknown price and used the Source Qi refined by the Good Fortune Cauldron to quickly condense the nine Source Qi seeds of a Divine Ability and raise his cultivation to the second True Spirit Realm in one go.
Second True Spirit Realm …
As a result, it would be very difficult for Xiang Laozu to raise his cultivation in the future, especially when he opened the Thunder Source in the eighth True Spirit Realm and opened the Primal Chaos Realm in the ninth True Spirit Realm. This kind of regular cultivation could even announce his failure in facing these bottlenecks in advance, because it was almost impossible for a cultivator to accumulate enough resources to break through these two obstacles on the path to immortality.
Otherwise, why would the Seventh Patriarch have hidden himself after finding this world? He wanted to borrow the Source Qi of this world to break through the cultivation bottleneck that they had no hope of reaching. However, he had unexpectedly perished together in the great formation that connected this world to the outside world, leaving only Peng Daoren to struggle at death's door. Just as his plan of tens of thousands of years was about to succeed, the eighteen True Spirits of this world had joined hands to disrupt it.
This was also the reason why Lu Ping and the others had always been at a disadvantage against Peng Daoren, but the four cultivators in the peak of the first True Spirit Realm, including the Butterfly Fairy, had never broken through to the second True Spirit Realm by themselves.
Everyone charged into the great formation because they yearned for the path to immortality. If they gave up their hopes of immortality just to break through the formation, they might as well just die in Peng Daoren's hands. They would die sooner or later anyway. They were all monsters that had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, so if they gave up on the path to immortality, life and death were nothing to them.
In other words, Xiang Laozu breaking through to the second True Spirit Realm with all his strength was a matter of harming himself and benefiting others. Once Xiang Laozu broke through to the second True Spirit Realm, the possibility of the three of them working together to defeat Peng Daoren would undoubtedly be higher. Lu Ping and Long Huai should be secretly rejoicing.
However, after defeating Peng Daoren …
How could Xiang Laozu be so kind as to sacrifice himself for the two of them? How could he be willing to let the two of them leave this world while his hopes of immortality were shattered? What was he planning?
Looking at the current Peng Daoren and thinking of Peng Daoren's several tens of thousands of years of planning, how could the Longhuai Ancestor not have any hesitation in his heart? It was this instant of hesitation that caused the Longhuai Ancestor to be unable to help but slow down. Lu Ping, who quickly understood, also had a trace of understanding in his heart. Could it be that Xiang Laozu had set his sights on Peng Daoren and that he wanted to walk down the same path as Peng Daoren?
However, during these thirty thousand years, Peng Daoren had no choice but to do so. Xiang Laozu had not reached such a state yet, so how could he make such a decision? Unless … Unless Peng Daoren still had a contingency plan in the passage formation that Xiang Laozu already knew about. Moreover, Xiang Laozu still knew how to inherit these contingency plans!
Only like this would Xiang Laozu be willing to give up on cultivating all five realms at the same time and obtain the foundation that Laozu had accumulated for several tens of thousands of years. It would be much easier and faster than Xiang Laozu cultivating all five realms at the same time!
"Fellow cultivators, please help the Old Man. Once the Old Man reaches the second True Spirit Realm, we will be able to kill this Heaven Splitting Bandit if we work together!"
Although Xiang Laozu and Lu Ping had worked together to block Peng Daoren's attack, the source energy he had just condensed had been scattered and he had missed the chance to condense his source energy. Xiang Laozu couldn't help feeling anxious and he knew that his attempt to raise his cultivation to the second True Spirit Realm had raised the suspicions of the Longhuai Ancestor. He immediately loudly begged the Longhuai Ancestor to help him.
"The most important thing right now is to kill this Heaven Splitting Bandit, otherwise he will lose his path to immortality. It will be useless no matter how much you and I plan. Longhuai Ancestor, quickly help me!"
From discovering Xiang Laozu's plan to Xiang Laozu asking for help, only a split second had passed. The Longhuai Ancestor seemed to have suppressed the suspicions in his heart and worked together with Lu Ping to attack Peng Daoren, giving Laozu more time to increase his cultivation.
Daoist Peng himself was suppressed by the formation formed by the Nine Treasured Tree. Coupled with the joint attack of the three people, he fell into a disadvantageous position for the first time. However, it was far from enough to completely defeat Daoist Peng in a short period of time, unless there was an external force intervening. However, after Butterfly Fairy had gathered all her strength for an all-out attack, the Blood Thinning Needle was destroyed by Daoist Peng. Butterfly Fairy was still on the verge of death after suffering the backlash and could no longer fight back.
As for the other stubbornly living Xiao Baiyu, his source energy had already been injured by Peng Daoren. If it wasn't for the pills refined by Lu Ping, Xiao Baiyu's Peng Law would have already been destroyed.
Lu Ping and the Longhuai Ancestor looked at each other, as if they understood each other's thoughts. The two of them suddenly erupted with their full strength, taking over the pressure on Xiang Laozu and helping Laozu break through the Second True Spirit Realm.
Xiang Laozu might have some selfish calculations, but right now Lu Ping and the Longhuai Ancestor only wanted to leave this world's bindings. As long as they defeated Peng Daoren, the last obstacle, they just needed to leave this world before Laozu's plan was successful. Not to mention that with Xiang Laozu's Second True Spirit Realm cultivation, he couldn't stop the Longhuai Ancestor and Lu Ping working together.
"Hei, hei, truly worthy of being the descendant of a turtle, holding back at the critical moment. What a good fellow daoist!"
Although Daoist Peng had fallen into a disadvantageous position, his tone was still calm and composed. Although his words couldn't be more obvious to instigate, it was often the most difficult to judge in a moment of life and death.
"Two fellow daoists don't understand this bandit's provocation. If the Old Man doesn't enter the Second True Spirit Realm, do the two of you have any other method to suppress this Heaven Splitting Bandit?"
Xiang Laozu retorted while quickly absorbing the Source Qi in the Good Fortune Cauldron. While he was speaking, another Divine Ability Seed was condensed.
This time, Elder Ancestor Xiang was trying to break through the wood elemental Source Technique. Previously, when he was cultivating the five realms, he had already condensed four Source Techniques. After using the Creation Cauldron to refine the Five Element Spirit Light Fan and absorb the Source Qi, he condensed another three Source Techniques in a short period of time. He was only left with two wood elemental Source Techniques to reach the Great Perfection of the Second True Spirit Realm.
Daoist Peng continued unhurriedly, "Back then, I fell into that tortoise's trap at the final moment of my great victory. I was almost forced to hand over everything in this world to someone else. In the end, I had no choice but to abandon my physical body and rely on this world's essence to survive. Now, I've planned for over thirty thousand years, but you little rascals have ruined my plans. I do indeed have a backup plan, but since I've already lost all hope of immortality, I might as well have you all stay behind and accompany me in death!"
Lu Ping and the Longhuai Ancestor secretly thought this was bad. They quickly retreated to protect themselves, but they suddenly saw Peng Daoren's body begin to twist and change until a bloody roc appeared in front of them, letting out a mournful cry.
