Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

The situation in the Federation has stabilized.

But Jiang Chuan knew in his heart that this was only temporary, and the trouble was far from over.

On the contrary, the real storm has only just begun.

He is the supreme ruler of the Origin Realm.

He was also the first cultivator to appear after the lineage of immortal cultivation in the Origin Realm was severed.

These two identities.

This destined him to become the target of all cultivators in the Heavenly Chapter Realm.

The secrets he possesses are far more alluring than any secret treasure of a True Lord!

Therefore, instead of passively waiting for trouble to come knocking on your door.

It's better to strike first!

"You came here looking for an opportunity? Well then, I'll give you an incredible 'opportunity'!"

Jiang Chuan sneered.

That night, a secret order was issued from Tianque City and quickly spread throughout the various races of the Origin Realm.

The secret order contained only one sentence:

He was instructed to spread rumors among the old subordinates of various races in the Origin Realm that a secret treasure of an ancient True Monarch was about to be revealed deep within the Origin Realm!

The True Lord's Secret Treasure.

These four words have a fatal allure for cultivators in the Heavenly Chapter Realm.

The day the news spreads will be the day the wolves come smelling blood!

When that time comes, Jiang Chuan's task will be to wipe out this pack of hungry wolves in one fell swoop!

Just as Jiang Chuan was meticulously setting up his trap,

An unexpected event came knocking first.

"Master! A cultivator from the Heavenly Chapter Realm has been discovered in the southern border of the Federation!"

"That fellow's behavior is suspicious, and we've already surrounded him, but... his cultivation is not weak, and we can't defeat him for the time being!"

A servant sent a message through the Star Mirror.

Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow.

Oh? There are still some blind fools who dare to trespass on his territory?

The enslavement effect of the Starry Sky Treasure Mirror can only be triggered by him.

In other words, if he wants to turn his enemy into one of his own, he must take action personally.

This is also the only weakness of his "snowball" army.

However, it doesn't matter.

He took the opportunity to do it himself, which was a good chance to stretch his muscles and bones.

"understood."

Jiang Chuan gave a casual reply, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

Southern border of the Federation.

On a desolate wasteland.

Dozens of expressionless cultivators surrounded a young cultivator.

The cultivator had disheveled hair and a dim aura around him, clearly having gone through a fierce battle and was at his last gasp.

Even so, he still stubbornly refused to back down and continued to shout.

It was as if he was surrounded not by dozens of Qi Refining cultivators.

Instead, they were a bunch of chickens and dogs.

"I am under the command of Ji Hong, the sixth prince of the Great Qian Dynasty!"

"I don't care if you're from the Source Realm's sovereign or whatever!"

"You'd better release me obediently! Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of hurt when His Highness the Sixth Prince arrives!"

The servants turned a deaf ear and simply blocked all his escape routes.

Without their master's orders, they would not let any survivors go.

Just then.

A figure appeared, stepping through the air.

Jiang Chuan looked down at the cultivator from his high vantage point, his eyes icy cold.

"The sixth prince of the Great Qian Dynasty?"

"What a prestigious title."

"And who are you?!"

The monk shouted, his voice stern but his heart filled with fear.

"Didn't you just say that?" Jiang Chuan said calmly, "I am the Lord of the Origin Realm you are looking for."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator's face turned pale instantly.

Jiang Chuan did not give him another chance to speak.

He raised his hand and unleashed a powerful palm strike!

boom!!!

That palm strike, imbued with terrifying true essence from the peak of Qi Refining, crashed down upon the cultivator like the sky collapsing!

The cultivator fought desperately, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. He was blasted backward by a palm strike, spitting out blood!

Even his protective aura shattered inch by inch under that palm strike!

He was about to die on the spot!

This palm strike

Jiang Chuan did not hold back.

What he wanted was to kill this guy on the spot, and then use the Starry Sky Mirror to turn him into a servant, so that he could find out the origin of the Sixth Prince from him!

however.

Just as he was dying.

hum! ! !

Suddenly, an extremely dazzling golden light burst forth from the cultivator's body!

An immense and unparalleled aura of royalty surged forth from his body!

Immediately afterwards, a handsome young man's phantom slowly emerged from his body!

Jiang Chuan looked surprised.

This is……

A spiritual imprint!

The owner of this phantom is probably the sixth prince of the Great Qian Dynasty!

Within the golden light, the phantom of the youth slowly opened his eyes.

What a handsome and dashing young man he was!

His eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes like cold stars, and he wore a bright yellow python robe, with a faint dragon aura swirling around him.

He simply hovered silently in mid-air, yet he seemed to possess immense power, causing the surrounding air to stagnate.

The sixth prince of the Qian Dynasty!

Ji Hong!

The aura emanating from his illusory figure alone was already no weaker than that of an ordinary Qi Refining Perfection cultivator!

He first glanced at the dying cultivator, then his gaze fell on Jiang Chuan.

A look of understanding quickly appeared on his face.

"The Lord of the Origin Realm".

Ji Hong spoke slowly, his voice clear and resonant, yet carrying an innate air of superiority: "If I'm not mistaken, you are Jiang Chuan?"

Jiang Chuan's heart stirred slightly, and he narrowed his eyes, but did not deny it.

The other party even knew his name.

It seems.

Those cultivators from the Southern Region already possessed all of his information.

"This man is my right-hand man," Ji Hong said calmly, pointing to the cultivator on the ground. "I hope Fellow Daoist Jiang will give him some face and let him go."

The words were a plea.

But the arrogance in his tone was impossible to conceal.

It seems that Jiang Chuan releasing the people is a matter of course.

If we don't release them, it would be a grave act of treason!

Jiang Chuan remained expressionless.

The thing he fears least in his life is threats.

"face?"

"How much is your pride worth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chuan stopped wasting words, sprang up, and unleashed a palm strike!

Ji Hong seemed to have anticipated his reaction.

He also raised his hand and met the attack with a palm strike!

That palm strike, imbued with a majestic imperial aura, collided head-on with Jiang Chuan's profound true essence!

boom!!!

Their palms collided!

A terrifying shockwave exploded from the center of the collision, sending sand and rocks flying everywhere!

Jiang Chuan and the illusory figure each took several steps back!

They are evenly matched!

"What?!"

Jiang Chuan felt a chill run down his spine, and a serious look appeared in his eyes.

He did not use any divine power or the enhancement of the Star Mirror for this attack.

But the other party is the same!

and.

The opponent is merely a phantom formed from a spiritual imprint!

A mere phantom could fight him, a true Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, to a standstill?!

If it were an ordinary Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, taking this palm strike would likely result in either death or serious injury!

Just how powerful must the Sixth Prince's true form be?

Jiang Chuan suddenly realized.

Even among those who have reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation, there are still differences!

In fact.

In the brutally competitive environment of the Heavenly Chapter Realm.

Those who can break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining are already among the rarest of the millions, truly exceptional individuals.

But it is obvious that people like Bai Qiuhan, Chang Yuexian, and Ji Hong, who have reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage, are the most outstanding talents among the most outstanding, and cannot be judged by ordinary standards!

"Oh?"

Ji Hong's illusory figure raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised: "To be able to withstand a palm strike from this prince, you, the sovereign of the Origin Realm, do have some skill."

His tone remained as nonchalant as ever, "But that's all."

"Oh."

Jiang Chuan sneered: "I'd like to say the same thing to you."

He admitted that his opponent was very strong.

But so what?

Jiang Chuan has never been afraid of anyone.

In that attack just now, he didn't even use his divine abilities or the Starry Sky Mirror; he didn't even unleash one-tenth of his full strength!

Even if they were to truly face the Sixth Prince in his true form, the outcome would still be uncertain!

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes!

He no longer held back, and the Starry Sky Mirror suddenly appeared behind his head, with twelve beams of light scattering starlight across the sky!

hum! ! !

The twelve beams of light rotated in unison, their brilliant forms unfolding with a thunderous roar.

A terrifying aura, ten or even a hundred times stronger than before, surged into the sky from Jiang Chuan's body.

The surrounding servants were forced to retreat repeatedly by that aura.

"Oh?"

For the first time, Ji Hong's expression changed, quickly becoming playful.

Jiang Chuan spoke coldly, "Disperse!"

boom!!!

A blazing divine light, piercing the heavens and earth, crashed down upon the illusory figure like a pillar of destruction.

Ji Hong snorted coldly and used his remaining power to resist.

But in the face of that terrifying divine light, all resistance seemed pale and powerless.

boom!!!

The phantom shattered with a crash, transforming into a sky full of golden light that scattered in all directions.

The golden light tried to gather, but it was scattered by the flames and could no longer take shape.

"What a formidable ruler of the Source Realm!"

As the golden light faded, the Sixth Prince's voice, icy and chilling, echoed from all directions: "I will remember this humiliation! When my true form arrives, I will make you pay the price!"

The sound faded into the distance, eventually disappearing without a trace.

……

The golden light dissipated.

Silence returned to the desolate wasteland.

The cultivator had already passed away.

Jiang Chuan stepped forward, raised his hand, and the Starry Sky Mirror showered down starlight.

Starlight fell like rain onto the cultivator's corpse.

Based on past experience, after a short while, this fellow should kneel before him and call him master.

However, this time, the invincible starlight seemed to have hit an invisible barrier and was forcefully bounced away.

The attempt to enslave had failed.

Jiang Chuan frowned, then relaxed, understanding dawning on him.

As a member of the royal family, the sixth prince naturally had no shortage of ways to control his subordinates.

It's just a pity.

There was no way to get any more information from this guy.

Jiang Chuan gazed at the northern horizon, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

The scheme in the Northern Wilderness has already been laid.

The sixth prince will be drawn into this sooner or later.

"Alright."

"I was just worried that I didn't have a decent opponent for this game!"

……

The news of the secret treasure's emergence spread like wildfire.

In just a few days.

It spread to every corner of the Origin Realm.

In an instant, cultivators from all over the Tianzhang Realm, whether from the Southern or Northern Regions, from renowned sects to independent cultivators, all flocked towards the center of the Origin Realm.

Cloud City.

One of the most prosperous cities in the center of the Origin Realm.

Caravans from the north and south converge here, and people from all walks of life mingle here. Even the four clans of the Origin Blood have established permanent trading posts here.

And the tallest restaurant in the city.

That is the Eight Treasures Pavilion.

At this moment, the Bazhenlou Restaurant was already packed with people.

Accents from all over the country and clothing from all sorts of schools were all crammed together in one place.

Not to mention the Origin Realm, even looking at the entire Heavenly Chapter Realm, you probably can't find another building as lively as this.

There is only one reason why everyone is gathered here.

There is reliable information.

Tonight, a mysterious person will reveal information about the True Lord's secret treasure!

……

On the first floor of the restaurant, by the window, a young man in bright yellow brocade robes was playing with a jade cup in his hand.

Ji Hong.

It was none other than the sixth prince of the Great Qian Dynasty.

He leaned back lazily in his chair, his gaze sweeping across the hall, taking in the figures of everyone present.

Behind him stood four imposing guards, as imposing as iron towers.

Some people secretly glanced at him, then quickly looked away, afraid of making eye contact with the sixth prince.

"Ji Hong actually came in person..."

"This secret treasure might really be real!"

"Tsk, I heard that a few days ago, the Sixth Prince fought with that mysterious Lord of the Origin Realm and even suffered a loss! I wonder if this news is true!"

In a corner, several cultivators were whispering among themselves.

At another table diagonally opposite Ji Hong sat a woman in a white dress.

The woman was extremely beautiful, with exquisite features and a cool, aloof demeanor. She sat motionless, like a celestial lotus standing alone in the world.

Lan Ruoxi.

The current Holy Maiden of the Goddess Sect has reached the pinnacle of Qi Refining cultivation.

Legend has it that she possesses the "Goddess's Heavenly Voice," a single melody capable of shattering a person's soul from a thousand miles away.

From the moment she sat down, most of the eyes on the entire floor were fixed on her.

Further away, a young man dressed in white, resembling a scholar, leaned against the window, fanning himself with a folding fan, watching the bustling traffic on the street.

Willow White.

A successor of the Misty Sect.

This person appears gentle and harmless.

But those who know him well know that this scholar's heart is blacker than anyone else's.

The Northern Immortal Alliance also sent two renowned figures.

One of them is Huiwu, a true disciple of Leiyin Mountain.

This man had a resolute face, was over two meters tall, and had bulging muscles all over his body. A faint golden glow flowed under his skin. It was said that he had perfected the secret technique of the Thunder Sound Mountain, the "Golden Body Mantra," and no one in the same realm could break his golden body.

The other one is Gu Changfeng, the chief of Qingyun Mountain.

In comparison, Gu Changfeng was much more low-key, sitting in a corner with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

But everyone knows that the chief of Qingyun Mountain is no ordinary person.

Each of these individuals is a top performer in the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

Even in the Heavenly Chapter Realm, they would be figures who command respect in their respective regions.

Now, however, they've entered the same restaurant for the same secret treasure.

The Southern Region and the Northern Region have always been at odds.

The Great Qian Dynasty and the Immortal Alliance have been locked in a fierce struggle for countless years.

Gathered together at this moment, verbal exchanges are inevitable.

However, everyone remained very restrained.

After all, compared to a battle of egos, the True Lord's Secret Treasury was the truly important thing.

During the time they waited for the mysterious person to appear, the discussions in the restaurant never stopped.

"How much of the truth do you think is in that secret news?"

"I'm pretty sure it's true! When we came here, we saw earthquakes and volcanic eruptions; there were several unusual phenomena!"

"I've heard that someone unearthed half of an ancient stone tablet in that secret place!"

"Last month, someone found a broken jade slip containing a cultivation technique that is said to be related to a True Lord!"

"Really?"

"Absolutely true! I've personally seen a rubbing of that jade slip; it is indeed a supreme Daoist method that directly leads to the Golden Elixir!"

Some people believe the news that the True Lord's Secret Treasure is about to be revealed.

Some people have raised questions.

"Don't you think the timing of this secret treasure's appearance in the world is too coincidental?"

"Exactly, why did they have to cause trouble now that we've all descended to the mortal realm?"

"Could it be... a false rumor deliberately spread by someone?"

"If someone really has set this up, then this is going to be quite a show. Half of the geniuses of the Heavenly Chapter Realm are here; wouldn't they skin that person alive?"

"Fake news?"

Some countered, "During this period, stone tablets, jade slips, and celestial phenomena have appeared one after another. Are they all fake? Who has such a grand scheme to orchestrate this?"

Those who questioned it were speechless for a moment.

indeed.

If someone truly possesses such great skill as to create such a lifelike illusion, their value would probably be no different from that of a True Lord's secret treasure...

At this moment, in the most inconspicuous corner on the first floor of the restaurant.

A young man was pouring himself a drink, seemingly oblivious to the noise around him.

He was dressed in ordinary black clothes, had an average appearance, and his breath was as weak as that of an ordinary person.

Nobody noticed him.

No one knew that the True Lord's Secret Treasure they had been waiting for was actually created by this person.

Jiang Chuan picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and his gaze lingered for a moment on the figures in the room whose auras were either profound or sharp.

"The fish are all here."
