Chapter 1834: Great Treasure (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The Myriad Realms had been calm for quite a while. Three months, to be precise. The only thing that had happened during this time was Su Yu's attack against Heavenly Overseer Marquis.

In the past, three months was no time at all. But now, the myriad races couldn't help but be pleased with this short calm.

Apart from the pitiful minor races in the eastern sector, the other races only wanted this calm to persist. After all, a bunch of Eternals and Daofuses had died in the previous battle. This was no longer something the minor races could participate in.

As time passed, life started returning to the Allheaven Battlefield. After all, life would still go on. The Allheaven Battlefield was filled with treasures and source qi. The myriad races couldn't hide inside their realms forever, right?

Humanity had been focused on the minor realms of the eastern sector, and they had nearly pacified the entirety of the eastern sector. Amid the numerous battles, the eastern sector was also bustling with activity.

The minor races that had surrendered to humanity finally found their courage to leave again. For these races, the advantage humanity held in the Myriad Realms was actually a good thing for the ordinary members of these races. As for the suppression of their higher-ups, that was none of their business.

Plain of Desires.

Those from the other races were starting to appear here again.

The ancient city continued standing tall.

However, its master had changed. However, the city still looked the same for everyone else. Nobody noticed anything different. It was still guarded by an Eternal, and the strength of the Eternal compared to the previous guardian was irrelevant to weaker cultivators.

Heavendoom City.

This city was located in the Plain of Desires, near the Sea of Stars. Some activity was returning to the city as well. With an increased flow of people, the city no longer felt as bleak as before.

In fact, even the actual death qi in the city had decreased in density. That was mostly because the death sovereign ruling the region below was no longer around.

The day after Su Yu notified the allied races about the attack, several individuals appeared before Heavendoom City.

Three males and one female, all humanoid beings.

Zhou Polong was the person in charge of watching over Heavendoom City now. Additionally, Mayor Tian He was still there as well. However, he had not been doing much as a mayor recently. Heavendoom had left, and both him and Zhou Polong didn't know each other well. He knew that they were meant to keep an eye on each other to keep the matter a secret.

Main city gate.

The same Sunmoon was in charge of watching over the city gates. Commander Tian Men, a familiar face to Su Yu. He glanced at the four newcomers and did not find anything suspicious.

All four seemed to be humans.

As of late, human experts could be seen in all corners of the Allheaven Battlefield. They were all busy seeking fortuitous opportunities, plundering the minor realms, snatching resources, and exploring the Sea of Stars. Being a force under Su Yu's command, the ancient cities had become a popular place for humans to visit as well.

In fact, half the people in the city were humans. Thus, the addition of a few more humans did not catch much attention. All four felt like Mountainseas, a level of strength that wouldn't be too eye-catching.

Instead of challenging the main gate, the four entered through a side gate. Tian Men merely glanced at them once before removing his attention.

"Quite new..."

Suddenly, Tian Men's ears jerked slightly. Quite new? Were they talking about the city? But the city still looked the same, down to the architectural design of the buildings. The weapon of the guardian had changed, but most people weren't aware of that. And Commander Tian Men was also unaware of that. Nevertheless, he could tell that something was indeed different due to his many years of experience at this job.

The city no longer felt as repressive and dangerous as before. It felt somewhat lacking compared to the past. Of course, he could only feel this because he had been guarding this place for hundreds of years.

He did not ask. He did not do anything about it. This was a matter of the higher-ups. It might even be related to Su Yu. He knew what to ask and what not to ask. As for the group of newcomers, nobody said anything else. They continued roaming the city.

Tian Men looked at them again, noting that they were moving quite slowly. It felt as though they were here for the first time, but there was an odd sense of familiarity about how they carried themselves in the city as well. They felt like people who had returned after a long time, finding themselves in a place that was both familiar and alien at the same time.

After looking at them again, Tian Men still discovered nothing unusual about them. He frowned slightly, but he was not too worried about them. That was merely a random remark. If even the commander like him didn't know the truth, there was no hope for outsiders to know anything.

Finally, Tian Men looked away. Right at that moment, one of the people in the group looked back at Tian Men, seemingly having sensed something. But he said nothing and resumed walking again.

Up on the city wall, Tian Men frowned. Was that person looking at him earlier?

How sharp.

After a slight hesitation, Tian Men decided to report the matter with his token. Something was off, even if he didn't know what it was.

No matter. The mayor would decide. Thus, he sent a message to Tian He before tossing the matter to the back of his mind.

***

Inside the mayor's residence.

As of late, Tian He had been living a carefree life. Heavendoom was gone, while the newly arrived Zhou Polong was quite polite. The new guardian was much less domineering than Heavendoom, and wouldn't scold him for his uselessness out of nowhere like Heavendoom.

In fact, the new guardian was a familiar face to Tian He. Zhou Polong. This was something he had met before. But since Zhou Polong was too young, Tian He didn't fear him too much. He liked their current situation, where none would provoke the other.

He only needed to spend his time sipping tea and reading. In fact, even his desire to affirm his dao had dropped significantly. Instead, he had been focusing on living a healthy and comfortable lifestyle. This didn't feel that bad to him.

Suddenly, his mayor's token shook.

After reading the message, he cursed. Tian Men was too paranoid. This was a small matter. Why did Tian Men alert him for this? As an ancient city, newcomers would arrive all day long. It was only some Mountainseas, not Eternals. Not even Zhou Polong had reacted. Why was Tian Men so worried?

Despite his thoughts, Tian He still did his job and sent his willpower out. He didn't even bother to cover it up. As the mayor, it was perfectly normal for him to inspect the city every now and then.

Many of the experts in the city felt it, and none reacted. They were already accustomed to this. Nobody cared. Before long, the group of newcomers sensed it as well. Noticing the indifference of those around them, they decided to ignore the matter as well.

They allowed the willpower to sweep past them.

When the wave of willpower passed, one of them sent a voice transmission, "Is this the current mayor?"

"Yes. I believe he's called Tian He."

"A peak Sunmoon."

"The mayors nowadays are very hardworking, it seems. They are even scanning the city frequently."

"This must be an arrangement put in place by that Su Yu guy."

After a short conversation, they continued walking around with nonchalance.

***

Mayor's residence.

Tian He frowned. Nothing was wrong. What was Tian Men doing? Those were regular human Mountainseas. Was this worth a report to him?

"Crazy guy."

Tian He muttered to himself before tossing the matter out. But on second thought, he decided to take another look. In any case, he had nothing else to do.

When Tian He flew out of the mayor's residence, Zhou Polong opened his eyes. He merely gave Tian He a glance without saying anything. He wouldn't care so long as Tian He remained in the city.

He couldn't be bothered to be too controlling. After all, Tian He had a relationship with Xia Longwu. He was also quite familiar with Su Yu. Thus, Zhou Polong did not feel it was appropriate for him to be too meddlesome. He was only here to guard the tunnel and temper his weapon. Nothing else mattered.

***

Instead of flying straight toward the four individuals, Tian He started patrolling the city instead. He even stopped here and there to warn some random experts to behave themselves before moving toward the four.

At the moment, the four were being bothered by a humanoid bird. The bird was trying to sell them something. They were annoyed with the pestering, but they did not say anything harsh. They were merely annoyed at being pushed to buy something they weren't interested in.

"Friends, with one look, I know that you come from a major human prefecture. I have an ancient weapon of humanity here. It is boundlessly powerful, comparable to a heaven weapon of the current era. It was something I obtained after braving countless dangers!"

The bird constantly marketed his product to the four.

Of the four, the woman had the urge to sneer with disdain about hearing that. But she held back and said with disdain, "Ancient weapon? I doubt you can produce even an earth weapon. Just go away. Don't even dream of scamming us."

"How would I dare?" The bird smiled and said, "It's really an ancient weapon. It's merely a little bit worn out. I'm serious..."

Then, he pulled a piece of dark stick out and said, "Look at this. It's obvious how old this thing is. It is still so well preserved despite its age. It might really be a heaven or even a divine weapon during the ancient past."

The woman laughed at how ridiculous this was. She said, "Divine weapon? Do you even know what a divine weapon looks like? Why don't you claim that this is an ancient emperor weapon instead?"

The bird laughed sheepishly and said, "How can an emperor weapon compare to a heaven weapon? What even is that? Divine weapons are the best. It is only natural that I promote a divine weapon."

"Ignorant."

The woman snorted. Just then, the other three glanced at her. Noticing that, she shut her mouth.

Behind, Tian He approached while greeting some random pedestrians in the area. Before long, he walked by them. But suddenly, he stopped, turned around, and asked, "Which prefecture are you from?"

The eldest of the four, a middle-aged man, stepped forth, flashed a smile, and said, "Mayor, we are from Great Yong."

"Not Great Xia?" Tian He raised his brow and said, "So be it. I assumed you are from Great Xia since your physical cultivation seems impressive. That damn Xia Longwu has been avoiding me as of late. He still owes me something."

Tian He grumbled and continued, "If you're really from Great Xia, pass that bastard a message. Tell him to hand over the opportunity he promised me. Don't get too cocky after becoming the so-called General of the North. I am one of the earliest followers of Emperor Yu. I don't fear him!"

"Yes, yes, we will pass the message!"

The middle-aged man agreed with a smile.

"Good."

Tian He continued walking away. But suddenly, he looked at the bird and scolded, "Don't bother the humans. You are getting more and more audacious nowadays. Are you not afraid of losing your head? I'll spare you this once. Leave."

Tian He looked at the group again and said, "Be careful when you buy things here. If you end up scammed, you can only blame yourself. No fighting is allowed in the city."

"Thank you for the reminder, Mayor."

Tian He nodded before glancing at the three behind the middle-aged man. In response, all of them smiled and bowed slightly as a sign of respect. With a nod, Tian He said, "The humans are producing more and more talented successors. This is a good thing. Enter the Sunmoon Realm as soon as possible and aim to affirm your dao. You may contact me in the mayor's residence if you encounter any trouble here."

"You are too kind, Mayor."

The middle-aged man thanked the mayor yet again. Tian He said nothing else and continued his patrol. The four stood there for a bit before resuming their stroll in the city.
