"My old acquaintance?" Hearing Jiang Mo Tianzun say this, Huo Yun Laozu was stunned.
Immediately, he continued to say casually, "Palace Master, what do you mean by that?"
"How can someone who can make all twelve of you Heavenly Venerables serve him be my old acquaintance?"
"I say, Palace Master, are you perhaps looking too highly upon me?"
Jiang Mo Tianzun smiled and said, "You'll know soon enough."
As soon as his words fell, a portal immediately opened in the void.
Then, Wu Tian walked out from within.
"Senior Huo Yun, it's only been a few days since we last met, and you already recognize me?"
"Wu Tian?"
"This... how could it be you?"
Seeing that the person who appeared was actually Wu Tian, Huo Yun Laozu was stunned.
Not only that, but everyone else who knew Wu Tian also showed expressions of surprise, not understanding what was going on.
Wu Tian nodded to his acquaintances and then said with a smile, "Everyone, the reason I've gathered you all here today is for a major event."
"This major event concerns the safety of the entire world, and there is a reason for it, so I had to disturb everyone."
Speaking of this, Wu Tian's tone lowered slightly: "According to my estimations, the demon race is about to make a comeback, and everyone must be prepared."
Although Wu Tian's words did not have any particularly obvious emotional fluctuations, they still felt like a cold wind blowing through everyone's hearts.
For a moment, everyone's expressions became stiff, and the grand hall seemed to be filled with a pile of static statues.
They knew a lot about the demon race, and naturally understood how terrifying this race was that had once brought immense disaster to this world.
But what did Wu Tian mean by this? The demon race? Making a comeback?
Was this... serious?
Lei Zhengxuan was the first to recover from his shock. He quickly asked, "Sect Master, what do you mean by this, why are you suddenly saying such a thing?"
Wu Tian sighed and said, "I know that everyone finds it difficult to accept such a thing, but that is the reality."
"The chaotic demon sea region is becoming increasingly unstable, and this is a sign of the demon race's imminent return."
"Everyone is a part of this world, and you are also the highest combat power in this world."
"Therefore, from now on, everyone must remain vigilant and accelerate their cultivation speed."
"This time, the demon race will be even stronger than before. If we cannot repel them, then the entire world... may fall into the clutches of the demon race."
After Wu Tian finished speaking, the crowd fell into a deathly silence.
Clearly, Wu Tian's statement was too astonishing, and anyone would find it unacceptable.
"Palace Master, who exactly is he?"
"Is what he's saying... all true?" someone in the crowd asked Jiang Mo Tianzun.
He did not know Wu Tian, so he remained skeptical of Wu Tian's words.
Jiang Mo Tianzun, however, said, "Sect Master Wu is the Demon Punishing King of the Demon Punishing Palace. His words represent the will of the Demon Punishing Palace, so you don't need to ask me, just listen to Sect Master Wu."
"Demon Punishing King?!" Someone in the crowd gasped.
They had naturally heard of the birth of the Demon Punishing King, but they had thought it would be some established super expert, only to find out it was this young man before them.
Who was this person, and why had they never heard of him?
While some were questioning Wu Tian's identity, those who knew Wu Tian naturally did not have such doubts.
At this moment, even Huo Yun Laozu put away his rough demeanor and asked Wu Tian, "Sect Master Wu, I know your character, and you wouldn't joke about such matters."
"But even for me, such news leaves me helpless!"
"If the demon race is truly about to return, then how can we improve our strength in such a short time?"
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Huo Yun Laozu's question.
After all, no matter what, they were all old monsters who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.
After so many years, they had struggled to break through. Now, asking them to break through in a short period was indeed too difficult.
And Wu Tian had already anticipated this problem.
He smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, you don't need to worry. Since I have made this request, I naturally have a solution."
He spread his five fingers, and a delicate tower immediately floated out on his palm.
He explained to everyone, "Everyone, do you see? This tower is called the Tongtian Tower. Cultivating within it can increase the effects by five times compared to normal."
"If you wish to cultivate, you can enter directly without asking my permission."
"Tongtian Tower?!" Wu Tian's words once again caused the crowd to exclaim.
They were all knowledgeable people and had heard legends about the Tongtian Tower.
Huo Yun Laozu's eyes widened as he said, "No way, is this really the legendary Tongtian Tower?"
"No, how did you get this thing?"
Lei Zhengxuan had been in a state of contemplation.
Suddenly, his shoulder trembled fiercely, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He said:
"Wait a moment, it is said that the Tongtian Tower is the treasure of the Sacred Dragon. Sect Master Wu, could it be that... you have opened the Sacred Dragon treasure?"
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Precisely."
Boom!
This news was undoubtedly explosive for everyone.
The Sacred Dragon treasure was a sacred place that collected countless heavenly and earthly treasures, and it had always been yearned for.
Among these people, many believed that the Sacred Dragon treasure was merely a legend and did not actually exist.
But they never expected that this thing not only existed but had also... been opened by someone?
Instantly, the way everyone looked at Wu Tian became even more astonished. They racked their brains but could not understand who this person was and why he, appearing out of nowhere, could cause such a stir.
Lei Zhengxuan, however, laughed heartily, "As expected, as expected!"
"Sect Master Wu, you are not only the Son of the Sacred Dragon but also the Son of Destiny!"
"It seems that my decision to hand over the position of Sect Master to you back then was the most correct choice, haha!"
The crowd was speechless.
As they were talking, where did another Son of the Sacred Dragon come from?
Heavens, were they really not dreaming?
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Everyone, I'll make a long story short."
"I am indeed the successor of the Sacred Dragon, and I have opened the Sacred Dragon treasure. All the items within the treasure are now in my possession."
"After you enter the Tongtian Tower, I will distribute these treasures appropriately to ensure that you are provided with the best resources, allowing you to cultivate with the highest efficiency."
"That's all I have to say. Do you have any other questions?"
