Chapter 41: Nine Heavenly Treasures
Jian Yixue didn't say anything after hearing his words.
She was silent with a cold expression.
However, for a moment, Qin Yuan could see the doubt on her face.
Qin Yuan also did not continue to speak, only continued to stare at her while trying to feel the strangeness in her body.
10 seconds...
30 seconds...
1 minute...
Qin Yuan didn't feel anything, but Jian Yixue seemed to be starting to get annoyed by his gaze.
"What d-do you want-t?" she asked.
Her voice sounded slightly trembling even though her expression was still calm.
Qin Yuan thought she would blush if he teased her a little.
He didn't answer right away, but ordered the System, "Remove the seal please!"
Ding
[Order accepted!]
[1,000 Karma Points used to remove the seal.]
[The owner of the seal will not notice that the seal has been removed.]
[Karma Points: 17,900]
...
Qin Yuan looked at Jian Yixue again and said, "Okay, Miss, now you can say it."
"What did you say?" Jian Yixue was quickly taken aback but didn't look like she was confused.
"Am I not clear enough or do you want to join them?" Qin Yuan took a step closer to her, causing her to take a step back to maintain some distance.
She was starting to look worried, obviously she was starting to realize that he knew but didn't dare say it because it would kill her.
Subconsciously, she once again took a step back.
Maybe dying in battle wasn't scary to her, but in a situation like this, even the bravest would feel uncomfortable.
"Ayyy..." Qin Yuan sighed, appearing directly in front of her.
He grabbed her chin and pushed it slightly up so that her neck tightened.
"Do you think the seal is stronger than my strength? It was already broken when I came," he said.
Hearing that, Jian Yixue's eyes widened for a moment.
"I-is that true?" She subconsciously asked with a doubtful expression.
She tried to look down to see her body, so Qin Yuan removed her chin so she could do it.
Of course, she didn't find anything because she couldn't even sense the existence of the seal other than a moment after she left that strange place.
"Come on, you've seen how strong I am, the Divine Continent which is the birthplace of Emperors can be destroyed because of my strength," Qin Yuan said, boasting a little.
"Oh, better show me your memory straight away," he added.
Jian Yixue's doubts seemed to have cleared… She took a deep breath and raised her index finger.
Spiritual energy then gathered above that finger.
Jian Yixue looked at her body again. Seeing nothing happen, she ended up expending more energy.
Whoosh...
A spiritual screen was formed, showing the reflection of Jian Yixue's figure in the mirror.
Her figure after bathing and wearing new clothes looked twice as charming. Qin Yuan couldn't help but glance at her which she responded by looking the other way.
"And why did you start here?" Qin Yuan asked in a low voice.
Perhaps because of holding back embarrassment, Jian Yixue took a deep breath and looked at him.
"That's where it started," she replied in a cold tone that seemed forced.
Right after she said that, the reflection of her figure turned backwards so that what the spiritual screen showed also changed.
Upon seeing the appearance of gray smoke, Qin Yuan's expression also became serious while his hand held his chin.
Over time, his serious expression began to become interested.
The moment he saw the figure on the throne called the Dragon, thoughts of someone from earth couldn't help but appear in his mind.
Perhaps he should have thought more carefully, like what if he was the Seven-Path Great Emperor.
But as a supreme being, his perception was much sharper.
Just from the vibration of that person's voice and the sound of his breathing, he could immediately tell that his cultivation was still at the Sovereign Realm, weaker than the others.
Jian Yixue could basically kill him with a single glance.
'First the Goddess of Ice, and now this person, it seems this isn't a world where everything revolves around me...'
'And it...'
Compared to that figure, Qin Yuan was more interested in the place.
He wasn't really confused because in his memory there was such a thing, including the words Hidden Heaven.
Whoosh...
He took out a thin book that was almost shattered.
The cover of the book has a title.
(Nine Heavenly Treasures.)
This is a book that Qin Yuan obtained in an ancient place, which contains information about the Nine Heavenly Treasures which is said to appear at the same time as the appearance of the Heavens.
In fact, not a single Heavenly Treasure had ever appeared in the history of the Divine World. In other words, no one has ever found it.
Of course, there was still the possibility of someone possessing one of the Nine Heavenly Treasures but never revealing it.
If any of them did appear, a great war would definitely break out over it.
It was precisely because of this that his robbery yesterday attracted a lot of attention as some people suspected that he had the treasure.
Qin Yuan opened one of the pages.
There, was the inscription Hidden Heaven.
"So this is it," said Qin Yuan.
According to the description of the book, this is the most hidden treasure.
This treasure holder could hide even from the Heaven Strike and be impossible to find unless he himself showed himself.
And another ability is to summon other people into the treasure, just like what happened to Jian Yixue.
'It's just, what about the missions and points that person gave? I hope it's not a System like mine.'
According to his own analysis, he was more certain it was part of the treasure. Maybe something arranged by the previous owner considering that there were many corpses of mighty creatures within the treasure.
Qin Yuan didn't mind other people possessing such a treasure, but if someone else had a System like his, he couldn't help but be uncomfortable.
Feelings of selfishness are unavoidable in a situation like this. One always wants to be the only one.
'To be honest, I'm not that interested in the treasure as its abilities don't seem to be for combat... But at the very least, I need to keep an eye on that person.'
Finding him and then doing something to him, Qin Yuan had no interest in spending his time doing that, he preferred to develop himself.
But in the end, he didn't know if he was the enemy or not.
Even if he is a friend, it is still better to know more about him.
Qin Yuan then looked at Jian Yixue who was staring at the book in his hands curiously.
"Miss, you can be considered to have made a great contribution," said Qin Yuan.
He handed the book to her.
Even though it was just an ordinary book, Jian Yixue held it as if she was holding a treasure. She quickly read it while Qin Yuan continued to think.
