"What did you say?!" When Wu Tian uttered these words, all twelve Celestial Venerables trembled, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They couldn't believe their ears, thinking for a moment they had misheard.
Seeing these masters so flustered, Wu Tian felt a pang of emotion.
In truth, with their talent, if they hadn't been restricted, they would have long since become Immortal Kings. Why would they be stuck at their current level?
Thus, Wu Tian didn't prolong the suspense.
With a casual wave of his hand, twelve divine crowns flew out, landing in the hands of the twelve Celestial Venerables.
The divine crowns were not particularly heavy, but as they settled into the hands of the Celestial Venerables, they felt incredibly weighty.
These peak human powerhouses, at this moment, trembled, their hands shaking as if they could no longer hold the divine crowns.
"This... this is the divine crown?"
Subduing Demon Celestial Venerable stammered, tears welling up in his eyes.
They had waited for this moment for too long. Now that their dream was about to come true, how could they not be moved?
Wu Tian smiled and said, "In reality, you all possessed the qualifications to become Immortal Kings long ago. You simply lacked the divine crowns."
"Now that you have the divine crowns, your advancement will be a natural progression."
"Everyone, please go and gather the people. After I've finished speaking, you can directly attempt to break through to Immortal King."
Before this, although everyone knew Wu Tian's importance, they still held a certain seniority when looking at him.
But at this very moment, Wu Tian had become a god-like existence in their eyes, earning their complete respect and loyalty.
They immediately accepted the order, then dispersed to carry out Wu Tian's instructions.
The surroundings quickly became empty.
Wu Tian couldn't hide his smile as he said to Su Qiannai, "We've finally reached this day. It wasn't easy."
Su Qiannai also smiled faintly and whispered, "Yes, it truly wasn't easy."
Just two years ago, Wu Tian was merely a village doctor in Peach Blossom Village, and Su Qiannai was just a spiritual cultivator from the Divine Physician Sect.
But who would have thought that in such a short time, the two of them would ascend to the pinnacle and reach their current status.
Recalling the past, Su Qiannai couldn't help but say, "In the end, it's all because of you. Otherwise, how could things have turned out this way?"
"Because of me?"
Wu Tian was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "Don't joke. You are a Heavenly Phoenix yourself. Your awakening was bound to happen sooner or later. What does it have to do with me?"
Su Qiannai shook her head, "No, if it weren't for you, I might never have entered the Spiritual Beast Realm in my life. Where would my awakening have come from?"
"Everything that has happened in the past two years seems so miraculous."
"Do you remember our first meeting? We had quite an unpleasant encounter back then."
Wu Tian laughed, "Yes, you really put me through a lot then. I almost fell into depression because of it."
Su Qiannai giggled, "You must have hated me to the core back then, right? Did you really want to kill me?"
Wu Tian smiled, "It wasn't that severe, but I was indeed very angry. Back then, you were the target I was pursuing."
"I always wanted to become stronger and get revenge on you. But in the end, I never expected that you were always on my side."
"Thinking back now, it truly feels like a dream!"
Su Qiannai said, "But you truly exceeded my expectations. No one could have predicted that your growth would be so rapid."
"You know, when you reached the Immortal realm and came to the Divine Physician Sect to find me, I was stunned."
"I've seen so many geniuses in the Divine Physician Sect, but compared to you, they don't even qualify as ordinary people."
"You, the Son of the Sacred Dragon, truly live up to your name."
Wu Tian smiled, "Among those geniuses, there must have been many who pursued you, right?"
"But no matter how much they pursued, it was all in vain. In the end, I was the one who reaped the benefits."
Hearing this, Su Qiannai was slightly startled, her pretty face instantly flushing red.
She lowered her head slightly and said, "What do you mean 'reaped the benefits'? At that time... at that time, it was just a special situation."
"I remember you were dying then. After much thought, this was the only way I could save you."
"Otherwise, I... I wouldn't have done such a thing with you."
Looking at Su Qiannai's somewhat embarrassed demeanor, Wu Tian felt a surge of emotion.
Just as Su Qiannai had said, he had truly hated her back then.
From his perspective, Su Qiannai was so high and mighty, even unattainable.
Her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with playful amusement, and he felt like a toy being manipulated.
If it were two years ago, he could never have imagined that such a woman would blush in front of him now.
His heart grew warm, and he couldn't help but reach out and pull Su Qiannai into his embrace.
Su Qiannai cried out in surprise but didn't resist much, instead playfully chiding, "What are you doing? Why are you so rough?"
Wu Tian stared into her eyes and said, "For women, isn't it good for a man to be a little rough?"
Su Qiannai dared not meet Wu Tian's gaze, shifting her eyes away and huffing, "Rogue..."
Wu Tian let out a hearty laugh and then kissed Su Qiannai's tender lips.
Su Qiannai hadn't expected Wu Tian to do something like this. She instinctively struggled a couple of times but soon became immersed in Wu Tian's dominance.
Subsequently, Wu Tian waved his hand, and a golden light enveloped them both.
And within the light, their clothes fell away, a beautiful scene unfolding quietly...
Three days later, at the frontline base of the Chaotic Demon Sea Domain.
As Wu Tian had instructed, the twelve Celestial Venerables had gathered all the experts in the world who met the requirements.
Many of these experts were familiar faces to Wu Tian, such as Lei Zhengxuan, Ling Jianxiao, and Old Ancestor Huoyun...
But there were even more people Wu Tian had never met before.
These individuals numbered over a hundred. Even Wu Tian hadn't expected that there were so many eight-star or higher Grand Unity Golden Immortals in the world.
They had no idea why the Demon Slaying Palace had summoned them, so the vast palace was filled with discussions.
"I say, Palace Master, what exactly did you summon us here for?"
"If it's nothing important, then I'm going back for a drink!"
Old Ancestor Huoyun, being a straightforward person, asked questions without any reservation.
Subduing Demon Venerable smiled and said, "Sect Master Huoyun, please don't be anxious. It's not me who is rushing you to come here."
"As for who that person is... speaking of which, he's an old acquaintance of yours, Sect Master Huoyun."
