No one had high hopes for Su Shi'er as he stepped forward.
They could not imagine how a mere First Tribulation Loose Immortal could have the confidence to attempt what even Spirit Severing stage cultivators could not accomplish.
As the words fell, the expressions of the cultivators gradually turned solemn again.
Out of the corners of their eyes, they looked toward Xiao Wujian ahead.
No one held any hope for Su Shi'er.
Instinctively, they attributed this move to Xiao Wujian having some other trump card.
Su Shi'er ignored the voices behind him.
A moment later, he strode through the air until he reached the Protective Gang Qi.
Standing so close to the Protective Gang Qi, without doing anything at all, Su Shi'er could already clearly sense the soul-chilling, deadly danger within.
He had witnessed everything that had happened when the others attacked the Protective Gang Qi.
With his true cultivation and strength, he did not believe there was the slightest hope. Much less now, when his foundation was severely damaged.
Silently taking out the golden lotus Miaofa Tathagata had given him, Su Shi'er examined it once more.
Senior Miaofa Tathagata was not only transcendent in cultivation, but also gave off an unfathomably mysterious air.
When he had gifted this golden lotus that day, could it be... that he had already foreseen today?
Whether he had foreseen it or not, the golden lotus was his only possible thread of hope in the present situation.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Su Shi'er's gaze steadily grew resolute.
Then, taking a deep breath, he immediately mobilized the Immortal Essence within him and poured it into the golden lotus in his hand.
Driven by Immortal Essence, the golden lotus trembled lightly, transforming into a streak of golden light that entered Su Shi'er's body.
