The Cold Water from Xiao Han

"Elder Tian Mu, how did you...?"

Having temporarily escaped the crisis, the Spirit King and the others stepped forward and asked curiously.

According to the initial estimates, Daqian should not be able to spare any people now, and Old Man Tian Mu announced his seclusion more than ten years ago, never showing himself to the public.

"Heh, do you all think I shouldn't be here?"

Before the Spirit King and the others could finish speaking, they were interrupted by the Old Man Tian Mu with a smile.

"No..."

The others instinctively wanted to deny it, but after their lips twitched a few times, they remained silent.

"It's not a big deal."

Old Man Tian Mu didn't seem to care at all, and casually explained:

"We, Daqian, are already at a disadvantage, so how could we possibly lay all our cards on the table?"

After a moment's thought, everyone understood the unspoken meaning behind Old Man Tian Mu's explanation. The reason why the Great Thousand World was able to maintain its current situation despite being at a disadvantage in overall strength was not only due to the geographical advantage of the Extraterrestrial Evil race's power being severely weakened in the Great Thousand World, but also because of the people and the Great Thousand World's powerful figures throughout history who were determined to defend it to the death.

There was also some scheming involved. It was precisely because the Extraterrestrial Evil race had never been able to figure out the true nature of the Great Thousand World that they became wary.

"Is Elder Tian Mu planning to leave now?"

At this moment, Spirit King spoke up and asked.

"Leave?"

Old Man Tian Mu glanced at the crowd before him, his tone rather helpless, "I suppose Saint Abyss City still can't do without me, can it?"

"This..."

The others exchanged glances, then lowered their heads in silence, their faces filled with shame. Given the current state of the Saint Abyss City's defenses, if Old Man Tian Mu's reinforcements left and the Extraterrestrial Evil race launched a counterattack, the city could be breached in an instant.

"It's alright. This time it was ultimately a mistake in our intelligence, so you can't be blamed."

Old Man Tian Mu offered a word of comfort, then smiled.

"At least I didn't come away empty-handed."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including Old Man Tian Mu, looked at Xiao Han, who had a blank expression on his face.

At this time, thanks to the treatment of Old Man Tian Mu and after taking some pills, the latter showed no signs of serious injury.

However, he remained silent and watched as the gossip unfolded right before his eyes, and he found himself caught in the middle of it.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the Great Thousand Pavilion," Old Man Tian Mu said to the group.

"Yes."

······

In the spacious hall of the Great Thousand Pavilion, Xiao Han was surrounded by a group of senior figures, his face full of doubt.

"Ahem... What are your orders, esteemed seniors?"

Finally, Xiao Han took the initiative to break the deadlock, asking with a dry laugh.

Everyone looked again at Old Man Tian Mu was sitting at the head of the table.

"Elder Xiao Han..."

Upon hearing this formal address, Xiao Han immediately became serious, knowing that it was time to get down to business.

"I wonder if the Secret Method you used on the battlefield just now could be sold to the Great Thousand Palace?"

After saying that, Old Man Tian Mu stared at Xiao Han with Divine Fire, as did the others.

There's no other reason than that Xiao Han's skill on the battlefield was simply too amazing. The Secret Method that could instantly elevate Great Perfection Earthly Supreme to Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme was something you couldn't find anywhere else in the Great Thousand World.

Others may have only seen the boost that Xiao Han's Secret Method gave to their personal strength, but as one of the highest-ranking members of the Great Thousand Worlds, Old Man Tian Mu thought of the strategic significance of this Secret Method.

As long as Xiao Han's Secret Method has universal applicability, even without such a huge amplitude, the high-end combat power of the Great Thousand World can be doubled, making it no easy task to deal with the invasion of the Extraterrestrial Evil race.

Imagine a Profound Demon Emperor happily catching a lone Spirit Rank Heavenly Supreme Xiao Bai, who instantly becomes Immortal Grade or even Saint Grade. That scene is simply awesome!

As for the so-called side effects or costs, what more can a person ask for in life?

Unlike the excitement of Old Man Tian Mu and the others, Xiao Han looked troubled and hesitated to speak.

"Is there a problem?"

"Speak it out loud, anything that this old man and the Great Thousand Palace can do, even if it means taking the life of that Saint Demon Race Leader, we..."

"No, no, no!"

Xiao Han hurriedly stopped him, for he could hear the determination in the Old Man Tian Mu's tone—a determination to burn one's bridges.

This demonstrates the allure of Xiao Han's Secret Method.

"Perhaps I will disappoint you seniors, but it seems that Han's Secret Method cannot be widely promoted."

"It requires a high level of strength and talent?" Old Man Tian Mu frowned slightly.

"Don't we old folks meet the requirements either?"

Those present are all Heavenly Supreme level experts, whose strength and talent are absolutely unparalleled in the world. If even this cannot meet the requirements, then the threshold for the Secret Method is too high.

"No, I did not mean that. The talents and abilities of you seniors are certainly not in question."

Before Old Man Tian Mu could ask any further questions, Xiao Han continued to explain.

"In fact, as long as the conditions are met, even those at the Supreme Realm can use Han's Secret Method."

"But..."

"This condition is a little bit demanding."

Xiao Han felt extremely guilty and eliminated everyone present directly. This was not only harsh, but completely insane!

"What are the conditions?" The others pricked up their ears to listen.

"This Secret Method is actually not complicated. The principle is to compress one's own Spiritual Power through special means and then release it instantly to temporarily break through the cultivation limit."

"One aspect is the attribute of Spiritual Power, which can also be described as the domineering nature of Spiritual Power."

As he explained, Xiao Han imbued his hand with Ice Attribute Spirit Energy. The moment the Spiritual Power appeared, the entire hall was covered with a layer of white frost.

"You are all welcome to examine it."

Xiao Han displayed the Spiritual Power in his palm to everyone and made the suggestion.

"Let me do it," an elderly man with white hair and beard said.

The old man seemed to be quite prestigious, and the Spirit King beside him introduced him to Xiao Han with a smile:

"Elder Xiao, you must be careful. Old Man Huo's fire Spiritual Power has reached the pinnacle. He was not at a disadvantage when he competed with the Fire Spirit Race in fire."

The other Spirit King didn't say anything more. For those who play with fire, it's enough to introduce their battle record against the Fire Spirit Race, because the latter is the most prestigious fire player in the Great Thousand World!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han's eyes gleamed; the Fire Spirit Race was indeed a formidable force.

"Please."

"I'd like to see what's so special about your Ice Spirit Power!"

It's obvious that this Old Man Huo also suffers from the common ailment of most Fire Spirit power experts: a volatile temper.

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of white flame rose from the Old Man Huo's palm. The terrifying heat distorted the air. Then, everyone watched without blinking as the white flame landed in Xiao Han's palm.

"Um?!"

"How is that possible?"

Old Man Huo exclaimed in surprise, not because he was too out of control, but because the outcome before him had exceeded everyone's expectations.

The moment the fire and ice came into contact, the former visibly extinguished, leaving only a puddle of water in Xiao Han's empty palm and at his feet.

It seemed like they were going to die together, but Old Man Huo was a peak-level Heavenly Supreme of the Spirit Grade, a whole realm lower than Xiao Han, making the difference obvious.

"As expected, you are quite domineering. Your Ice Spirit Power is probably no weaker than that old codger of the Ice Spirit Race."

Old Man Huo was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, filled with emotion, and even brought out the Ice Spirit Old Ancestor to offer as a sacrifice to the heavens.

The others fell silent, their brows furrowed. Xiao Han had already demonstrated the domineering Spiritual Power he had spoken of. This kind of Spiritual Power, capable of crushing those of the same level and even contending with those of opposite attributes across a whole realm, truly deserved the title of domineering.

They roughly guessed that unless one possessed one of the top twenty Divine Fire, other rare Mysterious Object of heaven and Divine Fire corresponding to the divine flame, or some advanced cultivation techniques, it would be almost impossible to meet the requirements in this regard.

However, upon closer examination, this requirement can still be met.

"This is one of them."

Xiao Han's words immediately sent a chill down everyone's spine.
