Chapter 2048: Chapter 2052: A Heavenly Omen, the Seven-Colored Treasure Stars
Upon hearing the Fourth Prince’s question, the strategist said, "They demand two hundred thousand High Grade Spirit Stones and insist on receiving payment before retreating."
"Those bastards!"
The Fourth Prince was immediately enraged upon hearing this, "What does the Dragon Clan think they are, daring to extort us? It’s clear they intend to blackmail us! Two hundred thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, ha, they sure dare to ask..."
The Fourth Prince sneered, and when he was angry, the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Fine, since they ask such an exorbitant price thinking they are invincible, ha, I’ll let them be arrogant!"
The Fourth Prince stood up, prepared to visit the War God, having already decided in his heart to bypass the Dragon Clan, bolster the troops, annihilate Qin Tian with lightning speed, and then settle accounts with the Dragon Clan!
"Your Highness!"
Just as the Fourth Prince stepped out of the great hall, an inner court attendant hurried over, "Your Highness, His Majesty requests your immediate presence in the palace."
The Fourth Prince paused and asked, "Is there something urgent?"
"I do not know, but the War God and the State Preceptor are already in the palace, only awaiting your arrival," replied the attendant.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince hastened to the palace.
On the way to the Ice Emperor’s Political Affairs Hall, the Fourth Prince glanced up at the sky and saw seven stars, each a different color, strung together in an eerie alignment.
"What is going on?"
The Fourth Prince hesitated, having never seen such colorful stars since his childhood.
When the Fourth Prince arrived at the Political Affairs Hall, he coincidentally saw the Ice Emperor, the War God, and the State Preceptor already standing outside, also gazing at the seven strange stars in the sky.
"State Preceptor, what is the meaning of these stars? It’s too strange."
Upon arriving, the Fourth Prince immediately asked Sima Tianchen, the State Preceptor.
Sima Tianchen replied, "Auspicious Colored Stars. These are Auspicious Colored Stars... Your Majesty, I have come today to report to Your Majesty about this extraordinary celestial phenomenon!"
"An extraordinary celestial phenomenon?"
Hearing Sima Tianchen’s words, the eyes of the Ice Emperor and the others lit up.
The War God stood with arms crossed, eyes sharp, raising his head slightly, and softly said, "If guessed correctly, it should be a treasure descending upon the Spiritual Domain."
"The War God is absolutely right. The descent of the Auspicious Colored Stars signifies the arrival of an Outer Heaven Treasure in the Spiritual Domain, and it should be a supreme treasure. Your Majesty, Your Highness, must strive to obtain it," Sima Tianchen analyzed.
The Fourth Prince curiously asked, "What kind of treasure would be escorted by seven strange stars?"
"That cannot be calculated just yet, but judging by the direction indicated by the alignment of the seven Auspicious Colored Stars, the Outer Heaven Treasure should lie to the south and hasn’t arrived yet, but it should descend upon the Spiritual Domain in the next couple of days."
"Since it is an Outer Heaven Treasure, no matter what, we must obtain it."
The Ice Emperor said, "Old Fourth, you and the War God are in charge of tracking this matter. Apart from us, other forces will surely notice too. When the time comes, aside from seizing the treasure, seize the opportunity to annihilate our mortal enemies!"
"As you command."
The Fourth Prince and the War God said in unison.
Often such treasures descending into the Spiritual Domain would alarm the entire Spiritual Domain Continent, so particularly in times of war, if one encounters an enemy also coming for the treasure, seizing the opportunity to kill and eliminate their experts would definitely be an excellent way to strike at the enemy outside of the battlefield.
...
Meanwhile, within the Dragon Clan.
"Your Majesty, with the Auspicious Colored Stars descending, this time’s Outer Heaven Treasure is no less than the Phoenix Immortal Sword you acquired before, perhaps even stronger. Are you interested?" After reporting the matter of the Auspicious Colored Stars to Long Tianwu, Master Tianji looked at him.
"Of course. Such treasures in the hands of others would strengthen our enemies unless we acquire it ourselves," Long Tianwu decisively stated, "Master, coordinate with Dragon Maiden on this matter and make contact with General Xuanji, so she can assist you in obtaining the treasure."
"Understood, the treasure should land in the southern part of Tianyuan Dynasty soon, I shall set off at once."
...
"Qin Tian, I’ve got great news, great news for you."
While Qin Tian was plotting how to pressure the Lion Clan on his end, Chen Jingsi burst into his room.
Seeing this little Witch, Qin Tian immediately knew she must have something.
"Have you done some calculating and found something again?" Qin Tian asked, still focused on the map, ignoring her.
"This time it’s not about calculations; it’s real. Come out and see..." Chen Jingsi excitedly pulled at Qin Tian, saying, "It’s the Auspicious Colored Stars. The books say it’s a rare sight every few hundred years, and it’ll be here for a couple of days. Come out and see..."
"You go look. I’m not going, I don’t have time to watch stars with you now... Hey, hey, don’t pull me!"
Originally, Qin Tian didn’t want to indulge Chen Jingsi, but this little Witch resorted to force, dragging Qin Tian out to the courtyard.
Qin Tian was about to say something to her, but upon reaching the courtyard, as he followed the excited Chen Jingsi’s gaze upward, he spotted the Auspicious Colored Stars and froze.
"Damn, these are Dragon Balls..."
Seeing the seven multicolored stars, Qin Tian placed his hands on his hips, dumbfounded, and asked Chen Jingsi, "Little Witch, what do you call this?"
"Auspicious Colored Stars."
"Auspicious Colored Stars? What’s the use, can you make a wish upon them and have it granted?"
"Tch, childish!"
Chen Jingsi rolled her eyes at him and seriously said, "My master said that the appearance of the Auspicious Colored Stars signifies an extraordinary treasure from the outer heavens will arrive in the Spiritual Domain in the coming days, and it’s a rare and invaluable treasure."
Treasure?
Speaking of Outer Heaven Treasures, Qin Tian recalled the previous fight with Long Tianwu over the Phoenix Immortal Sword. It must be said, that Phoenix Immortal Sword was indeed an exceptional treasure.
With its power, Long Tianwu returned to the Dragon Clan, swiftly quelling rebels, deposing his father, and seizing the throne with dominance!
"What is this treasure? Can you calculate?" Qin Tian became interested in this treasure.
"Your missy can’t calculate that," Chen Jingsi pouted.
"You surely can... hurry and try."
"This really cannot be calculated..."
Chen Jingsi rarely admitted defeat, saying, "I can only reckon that within the next two days, the unparalleled treasure guided by the Auspicious Colored Stars from the heavens will descend, and its landing location should be near the South State of the Tianyuan Dynasty and the Barbarian Clan."
"Oh? Does that mean it’s near our territory?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian’s eyes lit up, and he laughed, "If you’re spot-on this time with your calculations, it means this treasure is indeed arranged by the heavens for me. Hmm, in that case, I will prepare, so I can obtain it as soon as it descends."
The heavens shone, stars flickered, Auspicious Colored Stars, connected seven in a row.
Apart from the Imperial City, Dragon Clan, and Qin Tian, the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Southern Barbarians also noticed this strange celestial phenomenon, sending people ahead to plan strategically.
