These old monsters had long since reached the pinnacle in both strength and status. Some, like Old Man Kongyin, had even begun to regress. Lu Xiaotian, however, was still in a period of rapid improvement.
Venerable Lord Gan Hua had fused the Dao of alchemy with the Dao of cultivation, allowing him to surpass the four Immortal Lords and become the existence second only to the Celestial Emperor in the Honghao Celestial Court.
Lu Xiaotian might not yet match Venerable Lord Gan Hua in alchemy, but his cultivation potential was in no way inferior.
The power of his eight laws had reached perfection. His bloodline law might not have reached the great accomplishment stage, but compared to those demon immortals who had already achieved it, he was even superior. Even Old Man Kongyin's most renowned spatial law was drawing ever closer to perfection.
That fellow also possessed the identity of a true dragon. With all these factors added together, Old Man Kongyin hardly dared imagine this man's future. If he could not strangle him in the cradle, the upheaval this man would bring to the Celestial Court would be unprecedented.
"The pill still needs some time before it takes shape. Hold on for a while first." While Old Man Kongyin was still stunned, Lu Xiaotian's voice reached his ears.
"Good!" Old Man Kongyin had originally held a great deal of resentment toward Lu Xiaotian, and he had also felt that hastily refining pills under such circumstances had little chance of success.
After witnessing the other party's true attainments in alchemy, most of his concerns vanished. At the very least, this was far more reliable than leaving the formation to destroy the teleportation array where the World-Annihilating Ghost Spirits might be hiding.
With hope in hand, Old Man Kongyin's confidence surged.
