When the word 'immortality' resounded through the entire place, there was a terrifying silence. Even the sound of breathing could be heard. Many people's eyes started to burn with passion.
Immortality was more important to them. No one wanted to die. The reason why the experts here could survive from that era until now was because they had sealed their cultivation to survive in the mortal world.
This method could extend their lifespan by a large degree. The appearance of the Spiritual Bead this time wouldn't have alarmed these people. However, there were even rumors that someone had grasped the secret of immortality. So, all of them couldn't hold back and showed themselves.
"How about it? Everyone, join hands with me. After we capture Xu Wu, we'll extract the Spiritual Bead from his body. Then, we'll find out the secret of immortality from his mouth." The Azure Sky Supreme's gaze swept across the people here. There was an invisible temptation in his voice.
The Calligrapher slightly squinted his eyes and held onto the armrests of the chair. He didn't expect the Azure Sky Supreme to be so vicious. Not only did he want to capture Feng Hao, but he also wanted to extract the Spiritual Bead from Feng Hao's body. One must know that the Spiritual Bead had already been refined by Feng Hao. If the Spiritual Bead was forcefully extracted from his body, Feng Hao would probably lose his life.
The experts on the stone platform were all Great Emperors and Divine Lords in the past. Naturally, they wouldn't think that there was anything wrong with this. As long as they could obtain the secret of immortality, Feng Hao, who was mentioned in the prophecy, would be dead.
"Azure Sky Supreme, it's not that we don't believe you. However, what if we can't obtain the secret of immortality after we capture Xu Wu?" At this moment, a Divine Lord expert stood out.
"Yeah. After all, I heard that Xu Wu has also become a Half-step Great Emperor. Moreover, even the Dao Saint of the Daoist Temple was defeated by him."
All of a sudden, discussions broke out. When the Azure Sky Supreme saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Everything was still within his control. The Divine Master who stood out to ask was actually an expert who had already followed him. At this moment, he was just attracting the attention of these experts.
"Everyone, if I, the Azure Sky Sovereign, really manage to capture Xu Wu, I will definitely not keep the Spiritual Bead for myself. Furthermore, I have heard that Xu Wu does not only have one Spiritual Bead, but three." The Azure Sky Sovereign slowly said. He intentionally emphasized the three Spiritual Beads.
"How is this possible? Three Spiritual Beads."
"Heavens, isn't there only one Spirit Pearl in our True Martial Continent? How can there be three of them?"
"Could it be that he was brought over from the Penglai world?" For a moment, discussions were rife as everyone started to discuss the origin of the Spiritual Beads on Feng Hao's body. After all, there were three of them, and the temptation instantly increased by quite a bit.
"The Azure Sky Supreme has gone too far. He is doing this on purpose." The Sage of Calligrapher's complexion became extremely ashen. The Azure Sky Sovereign had deliberately said it to tempt the experts on the stone platform. This was because only one Spirit Pearl had appeared in the True Martial Continent. Therefore, these experts were worried that even if they killed Feng Hao, they would be able to obtain the Spirit Pearl and discover the secret of immortality.
However, there was only one Spiritual Bead and there were many experts here. There were at least twenty to thirty of them. How could they split it evenly? However, it was different now. If Feng Hao had three Spiritual Beads on him, even some of the experts who had been neutral previously started to waver.
Three Spiritual Beads, everyone had a chance.
The Azure Sky Supreme had a complacent expression on his face. The development of this matter was completely within his control. His gaze swept across the dense crowd below the stone platform and a cold glint flashed through his eyes. He knew that Feng Hao had definitely appeared, and he might even be one of the people hiding here.
And the truth was as he had expected. Feng Hao had indeed appeared in the crowd. He had heard everything that the Azure Sky Supreme had said. However, he didn't take it seriously in his heart. Today, the Azure Sky Supreme's plan was going to fail.
Feng Hao, who was wearing a black robe, was at the back of the noisy crowd. He looked at the Azure Sky Supreme on the stone platform with a sneer on his face. He didn't immediately appear, because it wasn't the right time yet. He wanted to completely destroy the Azure Sky Supreme's prestige and make him lose face in front of all the experts in the world.
However, Feng Hao felt that something was strange. Ever since he entered the Ten Direction Mountain Range, not to mention Huangfu Wushuang, he didn't even see Li Xiangtian. This was something that made him feel puzzled.
At this moment, all the experts on the stone platform seemed to have stopped their discussions. Another Divine Lord stood out and cupped his hands towards the Azure Sky Supreme. "Since the Azure Sky Supreme has invited us so generously, then it would be impolite for us to refuse. I, the Heaven Dragon Divine Lord, will be the first to agree to participate and discuss the profundities of longevity with the Azure Sky Supreme."
Looking at the self-proclaimed Heaven Dragon Divine Lord standing out, the faces of the Scholar Saint and the rest were filled with disdain. This was clearly a game played by the Azure Sky Supreme. One was playing the good cop, while the other was playing the bad cop.
"Looks like the Azure Sky Supreme has already contacted the other Divine Lords and even roped in many experts. Looks like we're going to be isolated today." The Radiant Sun Sovereign faintly shook his head with a smile. As an old rival of the Azure Sky Supreme, how could he not know the other party's character? From the looks of it, the other party would soon shift the topic to them.
Just as expected, other experts stood out one after another. This was naturally the Azure Sky Supreme's little trick. He had already discussed it beforehand, and it was done for the sake of those neutral experts.
One had to admit that this move of the Azure Sky Supreme was brilliant. After revealing that Feng Hao didn't just have a Spiritual Bead, more people jumped out, which tempted many people.
However, those who expressed their stance were clear that they would become experts of the Daoist Temple if they agreed to it. But what was it before the pursuit of longevity? When the Daoist Temple and the Academy were established, they had also faced such a choice. However, at that time, the Daoist Temple and the Academy couldn't offer any benefits that they were willing to stay.
Now that the secret of the Spiritual Bead had been grasped by someone, they would be able to obtain longevity. To them, this was a fatal temptation.
Just as the Radiant Sun Sovereign had expected, the Azure Sky Supreme had shifted the topic to the Academy after everyone expressed their stance.
