However, in the face of Xu Ping’s resolute refusal, the Nine Nether Elder remained unhurried, as if he had anticipated it.

He leisurely said, "Young friend, calm yourself. Since I dare to suggest this, naturally it is not to send us to our deaths."

"Without some confidence, how could I easily venture into such a perilous situation?"

"Confidence?"

Xu Ping frowned deeply, "I ask the elder to enlighten me, what confidence is there to face two Divinity Transformation cultivators?"

The Nine Nether Elder remained silent, just slightly smiled.

In the next moment.

An indescribable and vast Divine Sense, as terrifying as the heavenly Dao, unexpectedly emanated from his withered body.

This Divine Sense did not spread boundlessly, instead, it was precisely confined within the Blood Bone Hall’s tiny space.

Yet its majestic pressure made Xu Ping’s Divine Sense feel inferior in comparison.

Undoubtedly, this was the Divine Sense at the Divinity Transformation level.

So... the Nine Nether Elder, who had been concealing his strength all along, his true identity turned out to be an ancient existence once reaching the Divinity Transformation realm?!

No wonder he knew the secrets of the Divinity Transformation level.

The Nine Nether Elder slowly retracted that suffocating pressure of Divine Sense, relieving the heavy atmosphere in the hall.

He calmly looked at Xu Ping and said indifferently, "Now, young friend, do you think it’s enough?"

Xu Ping’s expression wavered as his thoughts raced.

The Nine Nether Elder was once a Divinity Transformation cultivator, definitely a sensational secret.

But the opponent is still far from their full victorious state.

After a long silence, Xu Ping suppressed his shock and spoke slowly, "Even if the elder was once a Divinity Transformation sovereign, given your current state... your power is far from being restored to its peak, right?"

"I fear... still difficult to counter one of the Dual Saints, let alone both?"

"In my current state, indeed not enough." The Nine Nether Elder surprisingly admitted frankly.

But then he changed his tone, shocking everyone, "But if it’s you, along with some other preparations I have, then we’ll be enough."

"Me?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping was momentarily stunned, then showed a wry smile, "Elder, you really see too much in this junior."

He really couldn’t understand how he, a Nascent Soul cultivator, could fill the huge gap between him and the Divinity Transformation.

"Your current power indeed falls short of Divinity Transformation."

The Nine Nether Elder spoke confidently, but a peculiar gleam flashed in his eyes, "But after cultivating the Nirvana Golden Body, it may not be the case."

"Nirvana Golden Body?"

Xu Ping’s heart tremored suddenly, a sharp light burst from his eyes, and he immediately asked, "Elder... could it be you have clues about the missing materials?"

If the Nirvana Golden Body could be cultivated, the body’s strength would undergo a fundamental transformation, enough to withstand ordinary Divinity Transformation attacks.

Then, combined with his already perfected Dragon Escape Technique, he indeed had the confidence to maneuver, entangle, and even briefly contend with a Divinity Transformation cultivator.

If further supported by the profoundly mysterious Nine Nether Elder.

The two joining forces to hold off one of the Star Palace Saints seemed... not entirely impossible!

At this moment, the Nine Nether Elder nodded slowly, giving a definitive answer:

"The main material you need, ’Nine Heavenly Gale Essence’, and several crucial auxiliary Spiritual Objects, I indeed have some leads and am currently seeking and planning intensely."

"As long as you agree to this matter, these materials, I guarantee you will gather them."

This statement initiated a hesitation within Xu Ping’s mind.

The temptation of the Nirvana Golden Body is irresistible to any Body Refining cultivator.

Moreover, the Nine Nether Elder’s words didn’t stop; he continued to increase the stakes: "Additionally, the strength I’ve recovered and... some little tricks prepared for the Star Palace Saints over many years."

"If the two of us join forces and meticulously plan, the success rate of holding off one of the Dual Saints is undoubtedly very high."

He shifted his focus, revealing the key to the situation: "As far as I know, the True Dragon Hall’s fifth-tier Dragon King has a strong bloodline and great Divine Techniques. In terms of individual strength, it’s above either of the Star Palace Saints."

"If we succeed in holding off one of them, forcing the other to face the full might of the Dragon King alone..."

The Nine Nether Elder’s murky eyes gleamed with clarity, and his tone was firm.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’s heart still harbored some hesitation.

In a smooth scenario, the success rate is naturally high with minimal risk.

But it’s hard to say the Star Palace Saints have no other schemes.

"Oh, and there’s one thing I forgot to remind the young friend."

At this moment, the Nine Nether Elder spoke as if mentioning something trivial, "Once one of the Star Palace Saints breaks through to Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation, they have an incredible sense of heavenly treasures."

"Regarding certain Innate Supreme Treasures nurtured by nature... their perceptiveness will rise to unimaginable heights."

"Finding them will become much easier."

"Buzz!"

Xu Ping felt a buzzing in his mind, his soul was agitated, almost unable to contain himself.

Innate Supreme Treasure?

Profound Celestial Embryo?

So if the Star Palace Saints truly reach that stage, does he still have a path to survive?

Xu Ping had suspected that the Nine Nether Elder knew something; now he was even more certain.

At this moment, Xu Ping was undoubtedly caught in a dilemma.

The hall was enveloped in a deathly silence.

After a long pause.

"Alright!"

Xu Ping slowly exhaled a turbid breath, his gaze deep, "In that case, Xu Mou... is willing to lend the elder a hand!"

The Nine Nether Elder’s expressionless face finally showed a barely noticeable smile: "Good."
