Chapter 1180: Chapter 1128 – Chapter 1129: If it was then, you should have left_2 Chapter 1180: Chapter 1128 – Chapter 1129: If it was then, you should have left_2 Initially, when the news first came out, the Great River Country Lord had already known about it, yet he was rather skeptical about the claim that the fruit produced by the so-called Divine Tree could help the strong break through to the Immortal Path Realm.
Stationed in his position, regarding the rare and divine materials of this world, which are rarely seen by average cultivators, he had long considered them quite ordinary.
At least concerning the fruit that observers of the Supreme Strong Realm sought from the Immortal Path Realm, he had never heard of it.
As a king, he even had reason to suspect that it was fake news put out by the Demon Race to attract demon strongmen to take action and even incite the human race's strong to kill each other.
Therefore, even though many strong individuals had rushed to it, the Great River Country Lord still sat firmly in Diaoyu Island, appearing very calm and unmoved.
However, at this moment, this ruler of an ancient country could no longer sit still after receiving certain news.
These mighty beings, who were already at the pinnacle of the Supreme Strong Realm, had unimaginably deep reserves, but this infinite accumulation lacked a catalyst to transform their essence and move toward the Immortal Path Realm.
Previously, all the strong focused on the Divine Position, believing that the most probable opportunity was to wait for the human race to win the Conferred God War in the future, when Heavenly Court would be restored, and the moment of investiture, when the will of Heaven and Earth favored them, would come, creating their opportunity to break through to True Immortal.
However, no one expected everything to happen so suddenly, and now another opportunity had appeared that could let them ascend to True Immortal in advance; how could they miss it?
“This is a message from the True Monarch, there can be no mistake,” King Yuan's gaze coincidentally met that of the Great River Country Lord.
As the liaison between the Shenxiao Sect and the Great River Ancient Country, many messages were passed
to him, then conveyed to the Country Lord.
“I am not questioning the accuracy of the message; I never doubt the True Monarch's stance. Rather, I am asking whether you wish to be a part of this,” said the Great River Country Lord, clearly understanding his brother's misunderstanding and why he reacted this way, given the importance of the message.
However, ever since their Great River Ancient Country decided to forge a good relationship with the Shenxiao Sect, the Great River Country Lord had never doubted any message passed from the Shenxiao Sect.
Not only because the Shenxiao True Monarch's character was never one to engage in deceitful schemes, but also because the apparent number of strong individuals between Great River Ancient Country and the Shenxiao Sect seemed about equal.
Yet just the existence of one True Immortal was an insurmountable gorge and an irreparable gap between their two forces.
Although it was openly claimed that the two sides were allies, everyone knew that it was the Great River Ancient Country that was attaching itself to the Shenxiao Sect, a point that many forces and strong individuals discussed.
But such discussions did not concern the Great River Country Lord much; he even saw it as mere envy, as they envied the Great River Ancient Country for having such an opportunity while they did not.
If it were other forces or strong foes, they would have made the same choice; no one could refuse friendship with a True Immortal.
At least for now, the Great River Country Lord knew that Da Xue Country Lord, his old rival, was still very annoyed about the initial mistake that broke off relations with the Shenxiao Sect.
King Yuan had yet to make a decision, hesitating.
For a being as strong as him, even though he was both a newly advanced Supreme Strong, his background accumulation was somewhat less than that of the Great River Country Lord and other Supreme Strong, not yet reaching the ultimate of the Supreme Strong Realm.
He knew that even if he took part in this Bloody Trial, unless he was very lucky, he didn't have the slightest chance of obtaining the fruit from the Divine Tree.
However, as a Supreme Strong, if he accompanied the Great River Country Lord, should the latter have a chance to obtain the Divine Tree's fruit, he could share much of the burden for him.
However, just as he hesitated, the Great River Country Lord made the decision for him.
“You shall come with me,” the Great River Country Lord thought for a moment, giving the other no time to consider.
This was a contest of the strong, and any strong being who desired to reach the peak could not afford to miss this opportunity.
“Good! I will definitely help Imperial Brother to seize the Divine Tree's fruit!” King Yuan said solemnly, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.
Among the heavens and the earth, True Immortals ruled over everything. Only a force with a True Immortal could persist in this world and make its voice heard.
If the Great River Ancient Country wanted to exist forever and become stronger, it inevitably needed a True Immortal of its own, capable of everlasting standing.
Therefore, he decided to spare no effort in helping Imperial Brother seize the Divine Tree's fruit, even if it cost him his life. After all, he could be enshrined on the Gods Sealing List.
For powerhouses like them who had begun to comprehend the Heavenly Path and pursue the Immortal Path, securing a Divine Position was a good opportunity to explore the Immortal Path. However, if they truly perished in the process and were enshrined as True Spirits, it would be a loss.
“If I manage to seize the Divine Tree's fruit, what you need to do is not to desperately protect me, but to quickly distance yourself and exit this Bloody Trial,” the Great River Country Lord shook his head, disapproving of King Yuan's idea.
“You simply don't qualify to participate in the battle of the Supreme Overlords and will be of no use, merely increasing the casualties,” the Great River Country Lord solemnly said to King Yuan, his own younger brother.
It wasn't that he didn't want his brother's help; the reality was just that cruel. Even as Supreme Beings, King Yuan was not qualified to fight alongside him at the end.
The Great River Country Lord was aware of the terror of those at the pinnacle of the Supreme Beings' path; many were just a step away from stepping into the Immortal Path.
The horrific combat power of such Supreme Beings allowed them to even battle the incarnations of True Immortals, just like Bai Qicang had done, and utterly overpower other beings of the same realm without them standing a chance.
If he only fought other powerful beings without obtaining the Divine Tree's fruit, then having King Yuan by his side would be pointless, as other ultimate Supreme Beings would not really strike him, for it would be meaningless.
To these beings on the verge of stepping into the Immortal Path, their entire focus was on how to achieve that breakthrough; anything that didn't assist this breakthrough would be unworthy of their attention.
They would also avoid battling other powerful beings as much as possible, since this had no significance to them.
However, if the Great River Country Lord were to fortuitously seize the Divine Tree's fruit, even if it was just one, he would then become the target of all Supreme Overlords, providing them with a reason to attack him.
Becoming Immortal was their only pursuit; anyone attempting to hinder their ascension was an adversary.
In such a situation, every opponent the Great River Country Lord faced required his full effort, and there would be no possibility of safeguarding King Yuan.
In this world, the number of Supreme Beings was countless, yet among them, how many had reached the final step, nearly touching the Immortal Path?
To be frank, even the Great River Country Lord himself did not know, perhaps not even the True Immortals knew.
As of now, the widely recognized and accepted powerful beings who had made this step included the human race's Grand Commander Wang Boan, Bai Qicang of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the younger brother of the Sword Emperor from the Sword Sect, and an old Buddhist monk from the Buddhism School.
But the Great River Country Lord knew that there were definitely more than these individuals, considering he himself had reached this stage. Even if not abundant, there surely were such beings within the current immortal sects.
It was an undeniable fact. Without them, it would actually be strange.
