Qin Chuan wouldn't be polite to such a person. The small object before him was quite peculiar; it was a small pagoda, about the size of a thumb, as white as jade.
It emanated an astonishingly pure spiritual energy, which Qin Chuan used to confirm it was a supreme treasure.
Treasures all possess their own unique aura, and the simplest and most direct way to judge a treasure is to sense its spiritual energy.
Treasures are spiritually connected, but this spiritual energy is more of a sensory perception, not the kind that can be directly felt with the body.
After all, if that were the case, supreme treasures would be too easy to find. It's said that treasures are given to those with a destined connection, and this destined connection is someone who can sense the spiritual energy of the treasure.
The Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda!
Qin Chuan's Golden Divine Eyes saw the name of this small pagoda, and a thought entered his mind, causing him to freeze.
This pagoda was no ordinary treasure; it was undoubtedly very powerful, yet he couldn't discern its purpose.
Although only the size of a thumb, the pagoda was exquisitely crafted, with nine stories. Most importantly, despite its small size, it exuded a grand and luxurious aura, as if it were a colossal entity.
It possessed a majestic and weighty aura, yet it didn't feel contradictory, as if the small tower carried the weight of a thousand tons. This
was the first time Qin Chuan had encountered such an unknown treasure, and his Golden Divine Eyes couldn't discern its use, let alone how to bind it to its master.
This only fueled Qin Chuan's curiosity, as this was arguably the first time he'd truly been unable to see through something with his Golden Divine Eyes.
Since he had nothing else to do, Qin Chuan slowly observed it, undisturbed.
Hmm?
Qin Chuan suddenly felt his Golden Divine Prison seem a little lax. This was just a sensation, and Qin Chuan also thought of the concept of a domain.
Powerful individuals all possessed domains. For some reason, holding this jade-like tower calmed Qin Chuan's mind.
What was going on?
Qin Chuan knew this wasn't a coincidence; this thing was definitely a supreme treasure. If even his current Golden Divine Eyes couldn't discern its nature, then something was even more mysterious.
Well, he'd keep it for now. Qin Chuan was certain this treasure was related to the domains of powerful individuals, or perhaps it could make his Golden Divine Prison even stronger.
While the Golden Divine Prison and the domains of powerful beings are somewhat similar, they are not the same. The Golden Divine Prison has strong limitations; its domain is small, and while it's effective as long as it's used, it becomes ineffective against stronger domains.
The Golden Divine Prison, however, has a high probability of failure, especially against powerful beings. Furthermore, it cannot directly affect the body; it only inflicts mental torture.
He put it away, thinking he might know how to use it later when his Golden Divine Eye becomes stronger. It was a pity he couldn't use such a good thing.
The things others gave him were actually quite good, but Qin Chuan didn't particularly like them. However, since he had saved them, he didn't want any further entanglement, so he accepted them.
The demonic ants continued for a good half hour, and many people died, some from a lack of sufficient insect-repelling water,
others from low-grade insect-repelling water, and still others from not using fresh insect-repelling water in time.
After putting away the fire, many thanked Qin Chuan and left.
Originally, there were many people here, but now at least half had died. Many sighed, but quickly recovered.
This is the life of a martial artist, living on the edge of a knife every day, especially when venturing into secret realms to search for treasure. Danger lurks at every turn, and one wrong step can lead to utter destruction.
The martial artists who make it here are all seasoned by life and death, and each of them has teetered on the brink of death more than once.
Qin Chuan, Long Yuanchong, and Renjun also walked forward. Renjun was happy, but also a little embarrassed. He had been saved by Qin Chuan before and was eager to repay him, so he swore brotherhood with Qin Chuan to take care of him.
But now he was in an awkward situation. When they encountered danger, he was far stronger than Qin Chuan, yet he was helpless. He couldn't even save himself, let alone Qin Chuan.
Feeling guilty and unsure what to do, Qin Chuan intervened again, turning the tide and saving Renjun once more.
Therefore, Renjun felt awkward; his previous sworn brotherhood with Qin Chuan seemed like he had been trying to take advantage of Qin Chuan.
Previously, when danger lurked, others would offer treasures, even priceless treasures, for protection, but he didn't...
If he and Qin Chuan didn't know each other and didn't have their current relationship, he would still have to offer treasures, and definitely priceless treasures, because he was a ruler; how could he offer something of low rank?
But now, even if he offered, Qin Chuan wouldn't take it. Besides, he couldn't accept it; otherwise, what would their previous sworn brotherhood mean?
A ruler hadn't received a favor from anyone in a long time, and now, in the blink of an eye, he owed the same person two lives. This was a life, and for anyone who knew how to repay kindness, this debt could never be repaid, no matter how hard they tried.
Thinking about this made the ruler feel better. They say that the more debts one has, the less one worries; owing someone a favor is also a debt, a huge one.
Long Yuanchong had also been saved by Qin Chuan twice in a row, but initially, he was willing to share half of Qin Chuan's insect-repelling spiritual water, which was quite rare.
In fact, without realizing it, there was nothing between Long Yuanchong and Qin Chuan for the time being, but what would happen in the future was hard to say, given their opposing camps.
Another factor is Long Yuanchong's son. There's an unresolved issue between Long Yuanchong and Qin Chuan, even if they made mistakes in the past.
Sometimes, it's like that—whether one is loyal but ruthless, or ruthless but loyal, sometimes even if someone deserves to die, killing them isn't necessarily better than not killing them.
Everyone talks about being decisive in killing, but it's not as easy as it sounds. Long Yuanchong once struck Qin Chuan in the back, a fatal blow. Normally, this hatred should mean killing Long Yuanchong.
Qin Chuan did it once, and Long Yuanchong escaped with his life. Qin Chuan also escaped with his life, so it was essentially even.
Regardless of whether this grudge can be evened out, Qin Chuan knows he's already acted once, and Long Yuanchong isn't dead. He doesn't want to kill him right now because killing him wouldn't be as good as things are now.
Everyone's choices are different.
"Brother, let's go, let's go see the Sword Pavilion!" Renjun laughed.
Qin Chuan was taken aback, but quickly understood. Renjun definitely wasn't here for the first time, but it seems that the Demon Ant doesn't appear every time.
Sword Pavilion is one of the most important places in the Divine Sword Realm, and the first choice for those coming to the Divine
Sword Realm. The appearance of an Imperial Tomb this time was an accident, as it had never appeared before. People come to the Divine Sword Realm mainly for Sword Pavilion, where it is rumored that there is a chance of encountering a Divine Sword. If one becomes one of the lucky ones recognized by the Divine Sword, it can be said that one has ascended to the heavens in one step.
