Chapter 2057: Plane Treasure!
Xiao Baifeng, however, shook her head and said:
"Brother Li, no need to rush."
"We still have to put the mission first."
"If the mission fails, you know what the consequences will be."
Li Su was stunned, then immediately laughed and said:
"Right, right, right, the mission comes first."
"Once the mission is completed, that will be the time to make a move."
Xiao Baifeng smiled faintly.
"Fine."
The two of them fixed this matter through Divine Thought Communication without anyone noticing, then completely fell into silence.
On the other side, Ye Ling had no idea that she was already being targeted by Xiao Baifeng and Li Su.
At this moment, she set up a Barrier around herself, then sat down cross-legged. A moment later, a violet halo appeared around her body.
Within this halo, a vague phantom faintly emerged.
But then, it vanished again.
After that, a half-smiling, half-not expression appeared on Ye Ling’s face.
...
On the other side.
Zhou Yu was likewise sitting cross-legged, but his Heart Spirit had already sunk into the Four Directions Realm.
At this moment, in a certain region within the Four Directions Realm.
The Purple Tiger that Zhou Yu had subdued was here, snoring loudly in its sleep.
And beside the Purple Tiger, there was an old tree root.
This old tree root was precisely the one Zhou Yu had obtained from the dried corpse’s hand when he escaped from that special space beneath Little Qingshan, the old tree root that contained the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique.
After obtaining the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique, Zhou Yu discovered a black embryo inside the old tree root. Not knowing what it was, he tried planting it in the Four Directions Realm.
He even drew upon nearly half of the Chaos Mother Qi specifically to accelerate this old tree root.
As time sped up continuously, only about ten years passed in the outside world, yet in the Four Directions Realm, this old tree root had already grown for several hundred thousand years.
During these hundreds of thousands of years, the exterior of the old tree root had almost no change.
However, the black embryo inside it changed more and more, beginning to take shape.
It looked like a blade.
And it even exuded a unique divine charm.
During this period, every so often Zhou Yu would sink his Heart Spirit into the Four Directions Realm to observe the changes in that black embryo.
He vaguely had a feeling that the black embryo inside seemed about to completely take form.
...
Fengyuan City.
At this time in Fengyuan City, the aura of war was already extremely thick.
All the defensive machinery on the city walls of Fengyuan City had been set up.
Vast quantities of Spirit Stones were being sent up to the walls and loaded into the defensive instruments.
At the same time, on the city walls, patrol squads formed by the various City Defense Teams were patrolling day and night.
These patrol squads were all led by Void Refinement Realm experts, presenting a posture as if a great enemy was about to descend.
And within Fengyuan City, at the summit of Sitting Forget Peak, in a secret room.
Two people were discussing something.
Of these two, one wore a Daoist robe, his face looking about thirty-five or so, but the aura on his body was unfathomable.
The other was bald, with white beard hanging down to his chest, wearing splendid black robes, giving off a feeling of both radiance and mystery.
At this moment, the Dao-robed man opened his mouth and said:
"Brother Yue, I still can’t figure out why you suddenly decided to send people into the heartland of the Withered Water Wood Clan, such a dangerous place?"
"The several groups you sent out are almost all the elites among the younger generation of Fengyuan City."
"If they all get wiped out there, it will be a tremendous loss to our Fengyuan City."
"What’s more, one of those groups is even working together with people from the Demon Clan."
"Although the Human and Demon Clans have formed an alliance, it’s obvious that the Demon Clan agreed to send people this time because they have other motives."
"I’m worried that..."
The Dao-robed man’s expression turned gloomy.
But the bald elder merely shook his head slightly.
"This matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface to you."
"Do you know why the Withered Water Wood Clan and the Phantom Clan suddenly started getting restless, wanting to make a move against our Human and Demon Clans?"
The Dao-robed man was startled.
"This... isn’t it so they can swallow the resources of our Human and Demon Clans?"
The bald elder shook his head again.
"Not so."
"Although the combined strength of the Withered Wood Water Clan and the Phantom Clan is above that of our Human and Demon Clans, they’re only three or four tenths stronger than us."
"The last great war was less than fifty thousand years ago; they haven’t had time to accumulate enough power."
"If they forcefully strike at our Human and Demon Clans, there will only be one result: injure the enemy by a thousand, lose eight hundred themselves."
"When that happens, even if they win, they’ll very quickly be swallowed by other Alien Races."
Hearing this, the Dao-robed man’s face darkened as he said:
"That much I naturally understand."
"The Withered Water Wood Clan and the Phantom Clan should understand it even better."
"But aside from devouring resources, I can’t think of any other reason that would make them willing to risk stirring up a war of extinction."
A flash of sharp light flickered in the bald elder’s eyes as he said:
"The cause of this war is only one thing."
"A treasure!"
"A treasure?"
The Dao-robed man’s expression froze.
"What level of treasure could drive these two clans to such madness?"
"Even a top-ten Primordial Ancient Treasure shouldn’t go this far."
The bald elder said in a deep voice:
"Of course it’s not a Primordial Ancient Treasure, but something one level higher than Primordial Ancient Treasures—a Plane Treasure!"
"What?!"
The Dao-robed man’s body shook violently, then his face changed dramatically.
"A Plane Treasure?"
"Plane Treasures are treasures that are derived and born from a Plane itself; generally only one will be born every million, even ten million years!"
"If I remember correctly, the last time a Plane Treasure was born was less than five hundred thousand years ago, wasn’t it?"
"How could another one appear so soon?"
The bald elder sighed and said:
"I don’t know the exact details either."
"This time, through layer upon layer of connections, I contacted a senior who has ties with the Green Dragon Clan among the Five Divine Beast Clans, and from his mouth I learned that a Plane Treasure is about to be born."
"All the top-tier great clans of the entire Primordial Realm have already received this news."
"Moreover, it’s said that some great clans paid an enormous price to calculate that this Plane Treasure will be born in the Heavenly Origin World."
"What?!"
In an instant, the Dao-robed man’s face turned deathly pale.
As one of the decision-makers in Fengyuan City and a top figure of the Human Race, he knew all too well what this meant.
One must know that every Plane Treasure carries some specific attribute of its Plane and is a top-level treasure belonging to that Plane.
Every time a Plane Treasure has appeared before, it has triggered all-out chaos across the entire Primordial Realm.
In such chaos, small clans basically have no chance to resist.
Especially if they get entangled with a Plane Treasure; that is practically a predestined path to annihilation.
Because those top great clans will never allow a Plane Treasure to fall into the hands of people from minor clans.
Many years ago, a Plane Treasure once fell into the hands of someone from a small clan.
Later, that small-clan cultivator used the Plane Treasure to forcibly shake the entire power structure of the Primordial Realm.
Because of this, many old entrenched great clans nearly ended up exterminated.
So ever since that incident, they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let a single one slip through!
"But what does this have to do with this mission?" After the shock, the Dao-robed man came back to his senses and immediately asked.
