Chapter 2565: and ===GLOSSARY=== sections

Huang Lao and the two others succeeded first; this news was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

When they told everyone this news, everyone was so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.

You should know, nearly all the Human Race cultivators present have practiced Xiūliàn of the Heaven Hook Grand Method.

This technique is not difficult to Xiūliàn; one only needs to spare a little time to easily master it.

Therefore, in their spare time, everyone naturally goes to try Xiūliàn a bit.

Thus, the improved Heaven Hook Grand Method by Huang Lao and the two others is not unfamiliar to everyone.

However, although this seems merely a small change, its improvement to the Hook Method is immeasurable.

In the crowd, Xu Jie stared intently at Huang Lao personally practicing the improved Heaven Hook Grand Method, secretly marveling in his heart.

After Huang Lao's demonstration ended, he turned his head to look at the Heavenly Spirit Tribe cultivator beside him, the corner of his mouth lifting in a smile, and spoke softly.

"Did you see? This is progress; we must speed up our pace as well."

Hearing Xu Jie's words, this Heavenly Spirit Tribe cultivator obviously seemed at a loss, blinking his eyes, for a moment not knowing how to respond.

He secretly wondered, how exactly did these Human Race people manage this?

Even techniques can be so easily improved; could it be that Human Race cultivators are now this powerful?

However, amidst his astonishment, this Heavenly Spirit Tribe cultivator also felt a sense of urgency arise in his heart.

He realized that if he did not double his efforts, he would soon have no value.

Fortunately, with Xu Jie's help, he now has some leads.

Over the following days, this Heavenly Spirit Tribe cultivator became ever more diligent and painstaking, as if tireless, studying day and night.

He held only one belief in his heart: he must not lose face before the Human Race, and must prove his worth and function.

At the same time, after Huang Lao, Elder Li, and Elder Zhang improved the Heaven Hook Grand Method, their urgent feeling grew harder to suppress.

They could not wait to test this newly improved technique, to see just how powerful it is.

Thus, the three searched everywhere for that Heavenly Spirit Tribe cultivator, hoping he would lift the seal on the Immortal Crystal Mine so they could enter and try their skills.

However, when they finally found the Heavenly Spirit Pearl cultivator, they were surprised to discover that he was also painstakingly researching how to improve the seal of the Immortal Crystal Mine.

Upon learning this, the three could not help but stare at each other.

Seeing this, Xu Jie hurriedly urged them to stay calm and wait patiently a few more days.

After all, if this seal could truly be successfully improved, then entering the Mining Domain would certainly be more convenient.

Moreover, the Human Race side currently has sufficient food reserves, so there is no urgent need for the extraterrestrial heavenly demon ingredients from the Immortal Crystal Mine.

Thus, waiting a few more days is fine.

Thus, while the Human Race side silently strives to increase its strength, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons inside the Mining Domain remain completely unaware of this.

That Demon God has tried countless methods, yet still cannot break the seal of the Mining Domain; now it can only completely give up.

Many Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons are trapped in this Mining Domain, like turtles in a jar, with no way to escape.

Still desperately pondering how to escape, they are completely unaware that a huge crisis, like a fierce beast, is silently creeping toward them in the darkness.

However, just as that Demon God remains oblivious, Xu Jie is silently helping that Heavenly Spirit Tribe cultivator.

After countless days and nights of relentless effort, this Heavenly Spirit Tribe cultivator finally, with Xu Jie's assistance, successfully improved the seal of this Immortal Crystal Mine.

This new seal is practically perfect; it not only can open a single opening, but also, without fully lifting the seal, opening this opening hardly causes any change.

Unless someone deliberately observes it, the change is hardly noticeable.

This result far exceeded their expectations, making everyone feel extremely excited and thrilled.

With the success of that Heavenly Spirit Tribe cultivator, Huang Lao, the Heavenly Family Ancestor, and Miao Cuihua all could not wait to immediately test this brand‑new Heaven Hook Grand Method to see if its actual effect is as splendid as they imagined.

Thus, on that day, many Human Race cultivators gathered at the entrance of the Immortal Crystal Mine, everyone filled with curiosity and anticipation for this new seal.

Even the usually steady Ye Zhangqing could not suppress his inner curiosity and came to the scene in person to watch.

Everyone's gaze focused on Huang Lao, the Heavenly Family Ancestor, Miao Cuihua, and that Heavenly Spirit Tribe cultivator at the front, their eyes flashing with curious light, as if anticipating a splendid performance.

Everyone eagerly wanted to know what effect this new Heaven Hook Grand Method would bring, each harboring a hint of hope that it could create an astonishing miracle.

After giving that Heavenly Spirit Tribe cultivator a slight nod to indicate agreement to begin, he stepped forward without hesitation, his hands quickly overlapping to form a complex and mysterious seal.

As his fingers danced nimbly, the originally tightly sealed entrance of the Mining Domain seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, slowly cracking open a gap.

Although this opening is not large, it is enough to see the pitch‑black interior.

Aside from this opening, no other part of the Mining Domain shows any change; it remains sealed as before.

This clearly shows that the improved seal is highly successful, causing no mishaps.

When he saw this, Huang Lao's face showed a satisfied smile, and he spoke softly.

"Not bad."

These two simple words are both an affirmation of that Heavenly Spirit Tribe cultivator and an acknowledgment of their prior efforts to improve the seal.

Next, it was time to test the three's improved Heaven Hook Grand Method.

Huang Lao took a deep breath, then carefully drew from his bosom that black, grimy great hook.

This hook looks aged, yet a faint light still flickers on it.

Huang Lao gripped the hook tightly and then began to swing it slowly.

As he moved, a strong power gradually gathered on the hook.

When that power reached its peak, Huang Lao suddenly jerked it forward; the hook shot like lightning straight toward the Mining Domain entrance.

Only a "whoosh" was heard as the hook instantly plunged into the Mining Domain, as if swallowed by a strong suction.

Immediately afterward, Huang Lao closed his eyes, focused his spirit, and began to sense the situation around the Mining Domain entrance.

After a moment, Huang Lao opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face. He said.

"Success—most of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons have been withdrawn, but a few guards remain there. However, I have already confirmed the positions of all those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons."
