Legend of Swordsman

”What could he possibly use to compensate?”

”He couldn’t possibly use his own precious treasure as compensation, could he?”

Holding back a stomach full of anger was already difficult, but now he was being picked on by Guardian Qifeng. Even though the other party was a Guardian, at this moment, Xue He couldn’t stand the insult any longer.

”I told you, I didn’t take it, so I didn’t take it. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do about it. Since there’s no treasure here, I’ll be leaving now!” Xue He scowled, turned around, and prepared to leave.

But Guardian Qifeng, having finally found an opportunity, wasn’t about to let it go so easily. He blocked the path and sneered, ”What, you think you can just leave after taking the treasure? I don’t think it’s that simple!”

”Qifeng, don’t push me too far. Just because you’re a Dao Master doesn’t mean you can oppress me, Xue He. If you really think I took the treasure, I can call my brother to prove it!” Xue He was thoroughly enraged, directly bringing up his backup.

At the mention of his brother, Guardian Qifeng’s lips twitched, but he wasn’t willing to back down either. ”What? Trying to use Chuxiong to pressure me? A Nine-Step True Immortal is still a Nine-Step True Immortal. As long as he doesn’t become a Dao Master, he can’t scare me!”

Chuxiong!

The leader of the top ten True Immortals in the Dual-Faced Divine Palace.

Though his Origin Source had not yet reached perfection, the Origin Source he cultivated was the first-grade Thunderstorm Origin Source. Its power was extremely fierce, and combined with his thunderstorm body, the immortal power he condensed was even stronger than that of an average Dao Master.

Crucially, he had also perfected the inheritance of the Divine Eye. Cultivating two sequences simultaneously, both had reached perfection.

The Dual-Faced Buddha had said that once Chuxiong took that final step and his Origin Source reached perfection, becoming a Dao Master, he would be able to rival the Buddha himself.

He was also destined to become the second leader of the Dual-Faced Divine Palace.

Such a figure held a position higher than the Four Guardians.

However, Chuxiong had been in seclusion for a long time and rarely ventured out, so his influence wasn’t particularly widespread.

Otherwise, Qifeng wouldn’t have dared to completely disregard him and still press down on Xue He.

On the side, Guardian Yunhai couldn’t take it anymore. The two biggest losers in this situation were himself and Xue He.

Initially, he had wanted to sit back and watch, letting Qifeng play the bad guy while he played the good guy, hoping to coax some treasures out of Xue He.

Make him cough up some blood, so to speak.

But now, Xue He had already brought up his backer, and if things kept going this way, there would be a real fight soon.

That wouldn’t benefit anyone. After all, they were all part of the same force.

”Qifeng, Xue He, both of you, say no more. Now is not the time for infighting. Let’s not make ourselves a laughingstock for these youngsters!” Guardian Yunhai gave both of them a way

out.

At the same time, it hinted that Qi Feng couldn’t continue this way.

Xue He Patriarch glanced over, cursed under his breath, and said nothing more.

Guardian Qi Feng was the same.

Seeing the two of them stop arguing, Guardian Yunhai continued, ”This is more like it. We’re all on the same side, and this time we’ve all suffered considerable losses. If we leave like this, wouldn’t that be a waste? Why don’t we work together to break open this palace? We might even find some treasures!”

The Ancient Demon’s palace was, after all, just a palace, not the Ancient Demon’s lair. Although the Ancient Demon was a special life form with decent talent, his comprehension was lacking. But he wasn’t foolish and had set up many formations in his lair.

Breaking through those formations would require an Emperor-level figure.

However, this was just a palace. If a few Dao Lords couldn’t break it from the outside, they could certainly break it from the inside.

Guardian Qi Feng’s frown gradually eased, and a smile appeared on his face. He said, ”Brother Yunhai always has a way. I almost forgot that our current realms are no different from before. It’s just that our power is inferior to the Ancient Demon’s. Since this is just a palace, if the three of us join forces, we can break through from the inside. Who knows? There might be hidden chambers!”

”There’s no other choice now!” Xue He Patriarch also agreed.

In truth, Guardian Qi Feng had suffered the least losses.

He had merely lost some immortal power and Origin Source.

But even that required treasures to replenish.

None of them wanted to give up on this place.

Even though they had Tian Can to ensure some returns, who wouldn’t want to obtain a bit more treasure?

Having made up their minds, the three of them began gathering their strength.

The three of them attacked together!

”Don’t burn your power just yet. Let’s try opening it first. If it doesn’t work, we’ll burn our immortal power!” Guardian Yunhai reminded them.

This clearly benefited Xue He Patriarch the most.

Guardian Qi Feng had initially wanted to say something, but thinking they had to cooperate,

he held back.

”Let’s move!” Guardian Yunhai commanded.

Boom!

The three attacked simultaneously, each using their signature techniques.

Their attacks converged on a single point-the compass formation on the ground.

Although it was a compass formation, it wasn’t the strongest part of this place.

The entire Ancient Demon’s palace was refined from special materials.

If they could dismantle it and sell it, it would fetch a price exceeding a billion immortal

crystals.

This palace was comparable to the lairs of some top Dao Lords.

In the era of the Ancient Demons, they had no natural enemies.

The number of powerful figures was few, and most of the treasures had been taken by the

Ancient Demons. They were the wealthiest among the strong.

However, that era had its downside-there were no supreme treasures.

Supreme treasures were the key to raising the overall power of the human race.

No one in the Ancient Domain World could forge a supreme treasure.

The supreme treasures they had were all found in the Chaos.

They weren’t innate supreme treasures but were forged later. Why so many supreme treasures

drifted into the Chaos remained a mystery.

As it stood, the Ancient Domain World couldn’t produce supreme treasures. Only in the inheritances left behind by fallen experts might one find a supreme treasure obtained from

the Chaos.

With the appearance of supreme treasures, the dangerous places within the Ancient Domain

World became insignificant.

Unless they were treasures left from the Ancient Demon era, few experts were willing to take risks. Most preferred to venture into the Chaos Void.

After all, one could find supreme treasures there as long as they were at the True Immortal

level.

Of course, the risks were great as well.

Often, the dangers hidden in the opportunities for supreme treasures surpassed the True

Immortal level, and many Dao Lords perished as a result.

During the peak of the Ascension Era, all the Dao Lords in the Ancient Domain World rushed

into the Chaos Void. At first, almost everyone possessed a supreme treasure, but as more people went in, supreme treasures became scarcer.

Until now, only a few supreme treasures remained in the Chaos Void, with an average of one appearing every hundred years.

Thus, most supreme treasures still circulated within the Ancient Domain World. Ninety-nine percent of them were traded.

The chances of acquiring a supreme treasure through adventure in the Ancient Domain World

were slim to none.

At this time, the battles were for orthodoxy, and treasures seemed insignificant. There weren’t many, and most Dao Lords and True Immortals still pursued the path of Origin and

the Divine Eye Inheritance.

Aside from these, there were treasures within the Holy Land as well. However, the treasures there weren’t supreme treasures but rare wonders. The strong in the Holy Land referred to them as holy artifacts.
