"Huh? Third Sister, what's going on?"

Under the urging of Nangong Luo, Jiang Che woke up, quickly got up, and asked somewhat confused.

"Big Brother, the Ancient Spiritual Treasure has emerged!"

Nangong Luo, unable to contain her excitement, spoke loudly.

"It's finally emerged!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che snapped out of his confusion, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

Great, if this Ancient Spiritual Treasure didn't emerge soon, I would have gone moldy from waiting at the Great Snow Mountain.

If we delayed here too long, something unexpected might happen over at Changbai Mountain.

Luckily, the Ancient Ruins and its Ancient Spiritual Treasure have finally appeared.

Then, reminded by Nangong Luo, Jiang Che walked outside the cave and gazed at the enduring golden light pillar.

"As expected of the Ancient Spiritual Treasure, this phenomenon is astonishing, probably attracting many competitors."

Jiang Che sighed, his gaze shifting to Nangong Luo.

"Indeed, this phenomenon is so conspicuous that it can be observed throughout the Meng Province and nearby areas. Next, both humans and fierce beasts will probably head there, and even that guy Second Brother might be lured over."

Nangong Luo nodded and analyzed.

However, she wasn't worried; with her Big Brother, a fifth-stage powerhouse, around, neither humans nor Second Brother could stand in their way.

"Let's set off immediately; we can't let others get there first."

Jiang Che learned from Nangong Luo about the powers of this Spirit Treasure—the Heaven-cutting Halberd, which was powerful enough to withstand human nuclear weapons.

Thus, he absolutely had to obtain this Ancient Spiritual Treasure.

This way, he wouldn't have to worry about humanity anymore in the future.

Afterward, Nangong Luo and Jiang Che, with Xiao Zi in tow, immediately rushed towards the location of the Treasure Light.

Imperial Capital

Extraordinary Research Institute, Director's office.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Come in!"

Director Lin, who was signing an experimental report, put down his pen and looked towards the door.

A young man with a buzz cut and a petite build walked in.

"Director, I heard you were looking for me? I was training when Assistant Zhang urgently came to fetch me and kept rushing me.

What could be so urgent?"

The young man sauntered up to the desk, grinning, somewhat perplexed.

Seeing the visitor, Director Lin smiled and said, "I called you because there's something important. Lin Wu, it's your turn this time."

"Take a look!"

Immediately, Director Lin handed over the tablet from the stack of books beside him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wu's expression turned serious as he proficiently took the tablet and began watching silently.

As Lin Wu watched the video, Director Lin observed him with satisfaction in his eyes.

The reason for choosing Lin Wu to seize the treasure emerging on the Great Prairie was clear.

Lin Wu, an Innate Awakened and a rare Space Transcendent, was recruited into the institute by Director Lin after his discovery, and secretly nurtured to reach the peak of the second stage.

Though still at the second stage, Lin Wu was like an over-tiered player, just like the Golden Eagle King and Black Demon Tiger, not to be seen as a regular second stag.

With extraordinary abilities in space control, Lin Wu's attack power reached unimaginable levels, as ordinary second-stage fierce beasts couldn't match him, not even third-stage ones could withstand his Spatial Strangulation.

Now, his battle record even includes slaying third-stage fierce beasts.

Lin Wu was truly his trump card.

Soon after, Lin Wu finished watching the video.

"Director, this phenomenon is so vast, does it mean a treasure has emerged?"

Lin Wu raised his head and asked Director Lin for confirmation.

"That's right, you should have seen the detailed imagery of the Treasure Tree guarded by the Thunder Tiger before.

The value of this emerging treasure is certainly not less than that Treasure Tree."

Director Lin nodded, his eyes lighting up when talking about this treasure.

This treasure compares to the Treasure Tree of Thunder Tiger; seeing how Thunder Tiger guarded it so fiercely indicates how remarkable this level of treasure is.

"Alright, I understand; I'll definitely bring the treasure back for you, Director.

Will I be carrying out the mission alone, or will it be a joint operation?"

Returning the tablet to the desk, Lin Wu responded decisively.

"Lin Wu, when will you change this impatient nature?"

"This time, you'll assist others in seizing the treasure, but your main task is still to kill or block the Black Demon Tiger to reduce casualties.

The Black Demon Tiger should still be within the Meng Province, and seeing this towering Treasure Light, it surely won't miss it."

Director Lin shook his head, speaking helplessly.

"Heh, I see. Now I understand."

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Lin Wu chuckled awkwardly, then, with a cheerful demeanor, said to Director Lin, "Director, you're aware of my abilities. As long as the Black Demon Tiger comes within five meters of me, I'm confident I can strike it down."

Despite Lin Wu's confident reply, Director Lin wasn't very optimistic.

Over time, successive attempts against the Black Demon Tiger failed repeatedly, leaving a shadow in his mind.

The initial operation with the First War General and other experts was equally confident and grand, heading to Meng Province to encircle the Golden Eagle King, even broadcasting it live to the world.

But the end result? Under the blows of the Black Demon Tiger and Golden Eagle King, many died or were injured, almost beaten into irreversible decline.

"If you encounter the Black Demon Tiger, be very cautious.

Though none of the fierce beasts have ever withstood your Spatial Strangulation, remember that the Black Demon Tiger is different.

This creature is exceptionally mysterious and unpredictable; no one knows if it has any unique means to resist your attack."

"Countless Extraordinary have died at the hands of the Black Demon Tiger; I don't want your body—or even worse, nothing at all—coming back after this mission, understand?"

It seemed Lin Wu wasn't giving enough weight to the Black Demon Tiger, so Director Lin earnestly advised him.

"Rest assured, Director, I will be extremely careful."

Feeling the gravity in Director Lin's voice, Lin Wu dropped his smile and nodded solemnly, speaking seriously.

"It's good to hear you take it seriously; I'll send someone...

Knock, knock, knock!

Before Director Lin could finish, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Just then, Assistant Zhang pushed the door open and walked in quickly.

Nodding to Lin Wu, Assistant Zhang walked to Director Lin's side and said excitedly, "Director, the Meng Province Military Region has sent the latest image data. You might want to take a look."

Director Lin hurriedly took the tablet handed over by Assistant Zhang and began watching the video inside.

"What is this?"

The next second, Director Lin exclaimed in surprise in the office.

In the golden light pillar, there was an ancient golden halberd surrounded by a golden glow, continuously floating.
