第一千四百八十章 仙家之物

"Since none of you have any objections, why are you still standing there dumbfounded? Why not quickly eliminate these yin soldiers and prevent the treasures from falling into the hands of demons and ghosts?"

The Demon Ancestor was extremely pleased to see that they had reached an agreement. A sound of cracking bones entered his ears as he suddenly grew ten times taller, then punched and kicked at those yin soldiers with great force.

King Ten Thousand Serpents did not hold back either. With a wave of his hand, a black light flashed past, and a magical treasure shaped like a heaven-turning seal shot out swiftly.

Spinning around, it hovered before everyone's eyes.

The so-called anti-air restriction was aimed at living creatures; for magical treasures and talismans, the effect was minimal, if any.

"Quickly!"

The old demon pointed his finger forward. A whistling sound entered their ears as the heaven-turning seal treasure shot out a ball of yellow light, accelerating quickly to grow in size. Soon it resembled a small mountain.

Its height alone exceeded one hundred zhang (yardmeasure).

Such magical treasures were generally incredibly powerful and could be used for large-scale destruction. However, they were slow in speed.

The advantages and disadvantages were obvious: either they would miss their target or have the effect of a single blow that was fatal.

The others were somewhat puzzled. The yin soldiers were numerous but weak; why not use the lightness technique to fly up? However, despite the efforts of King Ten Thousand Serpents and Ancient Demon, ten people working together significantly increased efficiency.

After just a cup of tea's time, all the yin soldiers had been slaughtered.

The group did not waste any more time. Using their lightness techniques, they flew towards the peak.

There were no further restrictions encountered, but the length of the steps was far longer than expected. Although they could not use the wind manipulation technique, they should have moved quickly. However, it took them two hours to finally reach the top.

Everyone was overjoyed, yet their vigilance increased. After all, someone had already reached this place first. The monsters from the yin realm were definitely formidable opponents.

Each of those who had advanced so far was a cunning and shrewd individual. In this area, their divine sense could only detect about one hundred zhang away, not even as far as the eye could see. A slip of attention could lead to an ambush.

"Brother Ancient Demon, do you think they have obtained any treasures?" King Ten Thousand Serpents unexpectedly spoke up. For some reason, he did not seem to dislike or fear this ancient demon; rather, there was a strange sense of familiarity.

He himself was also shocked.

"It's not easy to obtain treasures. The precious items left behind by that great figure are not something you can easily acquire."

"Great figure?" While others might not know the identity of the ancient demon, Wang Tinglou did. The term "Demon Ancestor" referred to the most powerful ancient demons. This guy was no small fry in the upper realms either; who could he be referring to?

"Can you explain more clearly, friend?" Although he said this, Wang Tinglou did not believe that the ancient demon would reveal any information about the treasures. They were not truly allies but merely pretending to cooperate. Why should they be honest with each other? As for Daelong Immortal, his behavior was indeed despicable; although he knew the truth, he chose to remain silent, and the reason was baffling. There was no need to keep it a secret if necessary, just to create tension.

This guy wanted the treasures himself.

Wang Tinglou had lived for over 1700 years and seen many things, but encountering someone like Daelong Immortal with such an odd temperament was rare.

He never expected that the secret of the treasures would come from the ancient demon's mouth. But how much could he trust what the ancient demon said?

Lin Xuan was equally surprised. It didn't matter if it was true or not; listening always had its benefits.

"Indeed, why did this Demon Ancestor go through such great lengths to bring a fragment of his soul here? Because the treasures found in Penglai Mountain are extraordinary and belong to divine beings."

"Divine objects... Could they be..."

Although everyone had anticipated that these treasures would be significant, the ancient demon's words were still shocking. They looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.

After all, among them, only the ancient demons could be considered top-tier figures in the human realm, but none of them had ascended to the spirit realm yet. For them, divine objects seemed too distant and intangible.

"Friend, if you wish to speak, please do so. If you don't want to say anything, there's no need to deceive us," King Ten Thousand Serpents' broad voice entered their ears. This old demon was clearly displeased.

"Agreed."

Lin Xuan nodded but had a different thought in mind. Divine objects might not necessarily be lost here.

For example, the blood of the Asura King was an excellent instance. Although she was not a divine being, her strength could match that of true immortals, and a drop of divine blood remained in the Asura Palace.

However, it was one thing to say something but another to believe it. Even if he did have such treasures, his intentions were questionable. After all, the separation between Separation and Immortal stages was significant; most Separation-stage cultivators had a chance to ascend. Once they reached the upper realms, they could increase their lifespan significantly.

Thus, the Separation stage was a dividing line: not only could they manipulate primordial energy but also that these old monsters were more afraid of death.

The situation in the spirit realm was unknown, but in the human realm, those old monsters would often avoid conflict even with mortal enemies.

Who would risk their lives for treasures when they could gain so much by living longer?

King Ten Thousand Serpents was a perfect example. He had once tried to kill Lin Xuan and had no qualms about beating up Field Sword in a fit of rage.

On the surface, he seemed arrogant, but his willingness to make enemies stemmed from his late Separation stage status; their strength gap was too wide for him to take any risks.

He felt confident that he could win with ninety percent certainty. However, when he realized that Lin Xuan and Field Sword were working together, and both had divine treasures in their possession, after some hesitation, he chose to temporarily put aside his grudges.

The first reason was to avoid letting others benefit from the conflict between them. The second was that facing two opponents together made him feel a threat to his life.

On one hand, it was caution; on the other, it was fear of death.

After all, demon beings had longer lifespans than humans.

The Demon Ancestor understood these reasons and thus deliberately revealed that this treasure belonged to a divine being. Otherwise, ordinary treasures would not have attracted so much attention from Separation-stage cultivators who valued their lives too much to risk fighting demons and ghosts to the death. In such a case, he would be left alone and vulnerable.

However, divine treasures were different; everyone feared death, but these were worth risking one's life for.

Of course, this approach had its drawbacks: the competition was fierce beyond imagination. But regardless of that, stirring up trouble benefited him.

After all, Wang Tinglou agreed to cooperate with him, although he still did not fully trust the Demon Ancestor.

Upon hearing King Ten Thousand Serpents' argument, his expression showed no surprise; instead, he sneered and said, "Ignorant fool, what do you know? What benefit does it bring for this demon lord to fabricate lies? Although the human realm is merely a lower plane, by chance, divine beings did indeed fall here millions of years ago."

Seeing that the Demon Ancestor was confident in his words, King Ten Thousand Serpents began to doubt him but could not fully express it. He coldly grunted and did not argue further.

"Please explain what happened," Lin Xuan spoke slowly.

"Right, please tell us more, friend," Field Sword also chimed in. Even the few frowning Separation-stage cultivators now showed interest; the temptation of divine treasures was too great.
