Terran Guardian - Chapter 3849

Chapter 3825 Qin Xiaoxuan

It would be impossible for Shen Changqing to say he had no interest in the Creation Treasure.

A treasure of this level would be enough to tempt any cultivator.

However, Shen Changqing knew that

such a treasure was beyond his reach.

The Dao Yuan Immortal Sect was powerful enough, but because of the existence of the Creation Treasure, it had to abandon other cultivators to protect itself.

It could be said

that the Creation Treasure was the root of all trouble.

Whoever obtained it would inevitably become the target of everyone’s hatred.

Unless, of course,

the cultivator who obtained the Creation Treasure possessed the power to suppress everything.

But that kind of power required at least the strength of a Saint.

Without the strength of a Saint, obtaining the Creation Treasure would be more of a curse than a blessing.   Shen Changqing was well aware

of this.   Furthermore,   the appearance of the Creation Treasure, causing a stir among various factions, wasn’t entirely a bad thing.   It showed that all forces were attracted to the Creation Treasure, greatly reducing the obstacles to his own actions. ”   …   Your Highness, an urgent report from the Star Luo Immortal Realm!”   Inside a celestial palace, a cultivator rushed in to report. A young man, sitting at a cloud-patterned desk, paused in his work of reviewing memorials. Hearing the report, he looked up, his eyes like a cold pool reflecting the moon, his thin lips slightly pursed, exuding an awe-inspiring majesty.   ”Speak!”   ”General Wu Jue, the Great General of Zhen Tian, has perished. His two accompanying royal elders have also died. The three million Zhen Tian army has suffered heavy losses, with only less than thirty thousand survivors returning!”   Boom—   The instant the young man finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from him. His eyes, cold as blades, stared intently at the cultivator.   ”What did you say? Do you know the grave crime of falsely reporting military intelligence?!”   ”This subordinate dares not speak nonsense. This is a battle report from the front lines. Please review it, Your Highness!”   The cultivator’s expression was flustered. His head was lowered, and he held up a jade slip in both hands. With a thought from the young man, the jade slip instantly appeared on the desk before him.   The next moment…   The young man’s expression changed drastically as he scanned the area with his divine sense.   ”Damn it!!!”   Qin Xiaoxuan’s face was filled with shock and anger; this news was a devastating blow to him.   The Great General of the Heavenly Suppression Army, Wu Jue, had fallen!   Two royal elders had died!   Three half-saints had perished in the Star Luo Immortal Realm—a devastating blow to the Immortal Qin Dynasty. Compared to   that   , the annihilation of most of the three million Heavenly Suppression Army soldiers was insignificant   . After all, what was the Heavenly Suppression Army compared to the lives of   half-saints? Even thirty million or three hundred million Heavenly Suppression Army soldiers were less important than a single longevity half-saint.   Now,   with the deaths of three half-saints,   Qin Xiaoxuan could imagine the upheaval this news would cause if it reached the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.   More importantly—   this matter would undoubtedly affect his prestige in the court.   As a prince of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, Qin Xiaoxuan had many competitors. His reason for entering the Ancient Immortal Realm was to seek opportunities and achieve something to enhance his prestige in the court, paving the way for his future as crown prince.   But with this incident, if word got back, forget about becoming crown prince; he might not even be able to gain any real power in the future.   Thinking of this,   the coldness in Qin Xiaoxuan’s eyes intensified.   ”What exactly is the origin of the Seven Profound Dao Sect?”   Intelligence from the front lines indicated that Wu Jue’s death was inextricably linked to a force called the Seven Profound Dao Sect.   Upon hearing this, the man bowed his head and replied, “Your Highness, the Seven Profound Dao Sect was a newly emerging force in Taiyuan Prefecture millions of years ago. This force possesses considerable resources, with three half-saints still existing.   Among them, the Seven Profound Dao Lord, the master of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, is particularly formidable; the Great General suffered a crushing defeat at his hands.   However, according to the information relayed by our scouts, the Great General did not die directly at the hands of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, but was ambushed by other forces after his defeat, thus perishing in the Star Luo Immortal Realm!”   The man dared not conceal anything and truthfully reported all the information he had gathered.   Qin Xiaoxuan, initially filled with anger, had gradually calmed down.   For him,   Wu Jue’s death   and the fall of two royal elders   were already a fait accompli; dwelling on them would only add unnecessary trouble.   In Qin Xiaoxuan’s view, his most important task at present was how to mitigate this loss and not damage the prestige he had accumulated over the years.   After all, if he could achieve something this time, securing the position of Crown Prince would be a sure thing, and the future Heavenly Emperor of the Immortal Qin Dynasty would fall into his hands.   ”Being able to defeat Wu Jue, it seems that the Seven Profound Dao Lord is indeed quite powerful, but such a force must be destroyed, otherwise it will damage the reputation of the dynasty—”   Qin Xiaoxuan’s eyes turned cold. In his eyes, the destruction of the Seven Profound Dao Sect was inevitable.   From the moment they became enemies of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, the outcome was already predetermined.   Not to mention,   Wu Jue’s death was inextricably linked to them. While   three Half-Saints from a sect were indeed terrifying, such strength wasn’t necessarily insurmountable.   After all, according to intelligence, although Wu Jue was defeated by the Seven Profound Dao Lord, he was able to retreat calmly, so the Seven Profound Dao Lord’s strength couldn’t be too great, at most only at the level of a Three Tribulation Half-Saint.   This time,   the Immortal Qin Dynasty had a total of three Three Tribulation Half-Saints stepping into the Ancient Immortal Realm.   Therefore…   Dealing with the Seven Profound Dao Sect wouldn’t be a big problem.   Just then,   another cultivator rushed over.   ”Your Highness, urgent report from the front!”   ”What is it?”   Qin Xiaoxuan’s face darkened, an ominous premonition rising almost instinctively in his heart.   The cultivator respectfully reported, “Your Highness, a Creation Treasure has appeared in the Star Luo Immortal Realm!”   ”What! A Creation Treasure!?”

Qin Xiaoxuan abruptly stood up, his expression changing drastically. This news was even more shocking to him than the fall of Wu Jue.

That

was a Creation Treasure!

Even if the entire Immortal Qin Dynasty were to exhaust its resources, it would be difficult to find a single such supreme treasure.

How could Qin Xiaoxuan not be astonished to receive news of such a treasure?

“Quickly, tell me the details!”

“It’s… the Creation Treasure appeared, attracting fierce competition from all sides. Ultimately, it was seized by a Saint Ancestor of the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect. However, according to news, that Saint Ancestor of the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect has passed away.

Immediately afterward, all cultivators of the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect vanished without a trace. Various forces, upon learning of this, have issued numerous bounties, aiming to find the cultivators of the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect to ascertain the whereabouts of the Creation Treasure!”

Listening to the report from the cultivators below, Qin Xiaoxuan’s expression changed repeatedly, and finally, he burst into laughter.

“Excellent! A Creation Treasure has appeared! This is a divine blessing upon our Immortal Qin Dynasty! As long as we can find a way to seize this Creation Treasure, who can threaten my position!”

Qin Xiaoxuan believed that as long as he obtained this item, his position as Crown Prince would be a foregone conclusion.   He was confident in

this   . After all,   it was a Creation Treasure!   Despite the Immortal Qin Dynasty’s countless years of history and profound foundation, even at its most prosperous period, it had never possessed a single Creation Treasure.   Obtaining such a supreme treasure would significantly enhance the Immortal Qin Dynasty’s strength.   At that time ,   who could challenge him for the position of Crown Prince?   Of course,   Qin Xiaoxuan also understood that seizing a Creation Treasure would be no easy feat. Various forces were secretly watching, and it wouldn’t be easy for the Immortal Qin Dynasty to snatch it from the jaws of death.   The problem was that the cultivators of the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect had scattered like birds and beasts, and no one knew which cultivator possessed the Creation Treasure.   In this way, as long as the Immortal Qin Dynasty could find the whereabouts of the Dao Source Immortal Sect cultivators, they would have a chance to quietly obtain the item.   At this moment,   the Seven Profound Dao Sect and   the deep   -seated hatred were all forgotten by Qin Xiaoxuan.   To him, nothing was more important than finding that Creation Treasure.   If he only destroyed the Seven Profound Dao Sect, it would at most salvage some of the Immortal Qin Dynasty’s lost face, but it wouldn’t make up for the real loss.   You must know that   Wu Jue leading three million Zhen Tian Army to attack the Star Luo Immortal Domain was originally ordered by Qin Xiaoxuan himself.   Although Wu Jue later acted on his own initiative and attacked the Seven Profound Dao Sect, in Qin Xiaoxuan’s view, no matter what, he still bore an inescapable responsibility for this matter.   Therefore,   there was only one way to truly make up for the loss: to obtain this Creation Treasure.   Qin Xiaoxuan believed that as long as he could bring this item back to the Immortal Qin Dynasty, even if he had to sacrifice all the powerful figures of the Immortal Qin Dynasty who had entered the Ancient Immortal Realm, his father would not blame him.   ”Issue my order: all cultivators must search with all their might for the whereabouts of the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect cultivators. We must obtain that Creation Treasure and prevent it from falling into the hands of other forces.   Whoever finds the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect cultivators will be richly rewarded.   If someone obtains the Creation Treasure, upon returning to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, I will personally petition my father for a reward, granting them the opportunity to attain immortality!”   Qin Xiaoxuan immediately gave the order, speaking in a deep voice.   Upon hearing this ,   the two cultivators were both shaken, and immediately accepted the order and withdrew.   After they left, Qin Xiaoxuan sat down again, took out a jade talisman, and sent out a message:   ”Creation Treasure!”   ”I must obtain such a treasure. If I can possess it, not only will the position of Crown Prince be less of a concern, but my subsequent ascension to the Half-Saint realm, or even higher, will be much easier!”   After completing all the tasks, a greedy glint appeared in Qin Xiaoxuan’s eyes.   Since learning about the Creation Treasure, Qin Xiaoxuan had only one thought in his mind.   ”As for the Seven Profound Dao Sect—”   Qin Xiaoxuan suppressed his greed, then thought of their existence, a fleeting murderous intent flashing across his face.   He wasn’t in a hurry to deal with them. His   immediate priority was to obtain the Creation Treasure.   Once he had it, dealing with the Seven Profound Dao Sect would be a piece of cake.   Even if he couldn’t act against them in the Ancient Immortal Realm, once he returned to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, with the strength of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, crushing the Seven Profound Dao Sect wouldn’t be difficult.
