At the same time, due to the astonishing phenomenon caused by the emergence of the Sky-Chopping Halberd, a golden pillar shot into the sky, painting the entire heavens.

People living in the Great Qin Empire, in and even outside of Meng Province, as long as they weren't blind, could all observe it.

In utter amazement, they excitedly took out their communicators, captured the image of the golden pillar reaching to the sky, and uploaded it online.

Especially notable were some photography enthusiasts among them, using professional cameras.

From a distance, they managed to capture the Sky-Chopping Halberd floating in the light clearly, and posted it on related online accounts.

Instantly, it sparked a massive uproar.

"A peerless treasure has emerged, this is an auspicious sign! Our Great Qin Empire is bound to rise!"

"I saw it clearly, inside the light pillar is actually a golden halberd, it's truly unbelievable! Could this treasure be the weapon used by legendary immortals?"

"It's absolutely an Immortal Divine Treasure! Now our Great Qin Empire will flourish, mere fierce beasts will be easily vanquished with a flip of the hand!"

"For those above, if this really is the legendary immortal weapon, its power must be terrifying, perhaps capable of destroying a city in a single strike like in the novels. The country must secure it, and never let those with malicious intent obtain it, or the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"Huh, everyone notice this, there seems to be some runes on the golden light pillar that we can't quite understand..."

...

Because there were too many witnesses, over one province, tens of millions of people, and with lots of related videos spreading widely, it was virtually impossible for the official channels of the Great Qin Empire to block the news about the golden pillar.

The officials originally planned to let this incident cool down, thinking that over time, the hype might dissipate.

But unexpectedly, the matter escalated too quickly, not long before it caused a huge stir online, with many people believing the entity within the light pillar is an Immortal Spirit Treasure, giving it special attention.

Upon realizing the official channels had not provided a reliable response, many civilian Extraordinaries began rallying online, preparing to form groups to rush to Meng Province to seize the treasure, which frightened the Great Qin Empire officials greatly.

If these people came to the Great Prairie, who knows how much chaos they'd create, how many would die. The Black Demon Tiger hasn't left yet, weren't they just walking into a trap?

After some high-level discussion, the officials of the Great Qin Empire could only announce a nationwide broadcast to explain and announce matters related to the soaring golden pillar.

At nine in the morning, the national broadcast began punctually.

The livestream, which was initially dark, suddenly displayed an image of a face very familiar to the Great Qin Empire people.

In the next second, countless comments scrolled through the livestream, densely filling the entire screen.

[It's Director Lin again, he's become the spokesman now.]

[By the way, when will Director Lin be able to develop the Third Generation Genetic Potion? By then, we could create an army of a million Third-Tier Extraordinaries to sweep through the beast disaster.]

[It's not that fast, you think it's like eating and sleeping?]

[I wonder if the country will give an introduction to the golden halberd that appeared this time.]

[It's definitely an Immortal Divine Treasure, no doubt about it!]

[...]

At this moment, Director Lin, sitting at a long table, moved the microphone in front of him, preparing to speak.

In an instant, the comments filling the screen were immediately cleared away.

"Dear compatriots, I am Lin Weiming, Director of the Extraordinary Research Institute. I have come to the livestream today to announce matters related to the phenomenon in Meng Province."

"Currently, the state has dispatched professionals to investigate. If the golden halberd within the light pillar is genuine, it might very well be the legendary Immortal Divine Treasure and the future national treasure. Please rest assured, dear compatriots, the country will never allow this treasure to fall into the hands of others!"

"The state understands that everyone is concerned about this matter, so we will be continuously reporting on the relevant investigation in the upcoming days, to keep everyone informed of the latest developments."

"In addition, the Great Qin Empire... there are many fierce beasts within the Great Prairie, and the Black Demon Tiger is also hiding here, so for those compatriots who wish to explore the Great Prairie, please for now..."

After the announcement, the chaos online gradually subsided; people's attention was drawn to the official report, allowing Director Lin and others to breathe a sigh of relief.

...

"It appears the humans have already discovered the Ancient Spiritual Treasure and have even arrived ahead of time."

In a low-lying marsh formed by flowing spring water, two adults and a child were drinking the clear spring.

Jiang Che looked up at the sky, his expression heavy, and spoke.

In the sky, the sound of thunderous booms was incessant, and fighter jets in a V-formation were cutting through the sky toward the treasure light, leaving broken cloud trails in their wake.

Incessant sounds of gunfire echoed in the ears, deafeningly loud, indicating that the Qin Army was clearing out fierce beasts in the nearby area.

"Elder brother, rest assured, no matter the grand scale of the humans' efforts, I dare to assert, this treasure will never fall into their hands."

Hearing Jiang Che's concern, Nangong Luo looked up at the squadron flying overhead, smiled confidently, and spoke.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Che furrowed his tiger-like brows, puzzlingly looking at Nangong Luo, not understanding the meaning behind his words.

Sensing Jiang Che's gaze, Nangong Luo continued with a sly smile, "Elder brother, you may not know, but the Sky-Chopping Halberd is not a weapon of the ancient human Immortal Gods. Instead, it originates from the ancient demon tribe's mighty figures; it is a Lifebound Magical Treasure crafted by the demon tribe. Treasures of this nature are spiritual, even more so for an Ancient Spiritual Treasure, requiring demonic bloodlines to gain its approval and thus the authority to wield it."

"That's why I say, the efforts of the humans are all in vain, as they simply do not meet the criteria to obtain the Spirit Treasure."

In fact, this matter became clear to humans after the second Spiritual Qi resurgence in the previous life.

As the Ancient Immortal Gods revived, much knowledge was passed down, and humans gradually understood many common knowledges from ancient times, including those related to magical treasures, understanding the distinctions among Spirit Treasures.

And the first Spirit Treasure to emerge in this world naturally left a deep impression on humans.

So, humans immediately associated it with the Sky-Chopping Halberd and realized why the Golden Eagle King had seized it.

It's not that humans weren't trying, but that the Sky-Chopping Halberd is spiritual and won't align with beings lacking demonic bloodlines.

"I see. So our primary competition for capturing the Sky-Chopping Halberd this time is actually other fierce beasts?"

Jiang Che felt a surge of joy inside, almost laughing out loud.

All the human efforts were in vain! Just thinking about it is interesting; when the humans realized that after all their efforts, the Spirit Treasure was snatched by fierce beasts, they would likely be devastated!
