In fact, the moment the Kunlun Mountain began to tremble, the cities surrounding the Great Qin Empire had not yet noticed anything, but several Qin military bases and observation posts located at the edge of the Kunlun Mountain had already detected something was wrong.
Immediately, they recorded the changes in Kunlun Mountain.
Initially thinking it was a rare earthquake, they were about to send people to observe, but unexpectedly, a brilliant light pillar appeared in the sky.
Without any hesitation, the military base quickly transmitted the recorded video and the measured data back to the Imperial Capital.
Ten minutes ago.
Imperial Capital, inside the dean's office.
Knock knock knock~
A knocking sound came.
"Come in!"
Dean Lin saw Assistant Zhang standing outside the door with a serious expression, and put down his pen, nodding to him.
Assistant Zhang walked quickly to Dean Lin and reported, "Dean, there is an anomaly at Kunlun Mountain. First, the mountain shook violently, followed by a purple light pillar shooting up into the sky, suspected to be a Spirit Treasure emerging. This is the footage sent back from the military base at Kunlun Mountain."
While speaking, Assistant Zhang handed over the tablet playing the footage to Dean Lin.
"Purple light pillar!"
Dean Lin was startled, his face showing emotion, and he hurriedly took the tablet from Assistant Zhang to check.
The footage started with the majestic Kunlun Mountain in the distance, shaking wildly, causing the entire video to tremble and a thunderous roar to resound, intermingled with the faint sound of mythical beasts howling.
After a moment, the video finally stabilized, and the shaking of Kunlun Mountain ceased. The clear sound of beasts howling came through one after another.
Then, a purple light pillar soared into the sky from deep within, parting the clouds and coloring the entire sky purple.
Watching the purple light pillar, Dean Lin immediately thought of the phenomenon when the Spirit Treasure appeared on the Great Prairie last time.
In the next moment, with a serious expression, Dean Lin said solemnly, "This phenomenon is almost identical to the one during the appearance of the Spirit Treasure on the Great Prairie. I suspect a powerful Spirit Treasure is about to emerge. Such a treasure must not fall into the hands of the beasts this time!"
If the Great Qin Empire could obtain this treasure, they could hand it to the Little Sword Immortal. Even without the Willow God's intervention, they could defeat the Black Demon Tiger.
Hearing this, Assistant Zhang nodded quietly in agreement with the dean's speculation. He believed a Spirit Treasure was about to emerge and nodded promptly, responding, "Then what should we do next, Dean?"
"The birth of a Spirit Treasure will definitely cause a beast riot, possibly forming a beast tide. This time, many powerful beasts will rush over. Ordinary extraordinary combat power doesn't need to go; it would mean certain death. Let the Little Sword Immortal lead them, choosing those with strong extraordinary power!"
Dean Lin pondered for a moment and said slowly.
Since the second Spiritual Qi explosion, within the Great Qin Empire, a few extraordinaries had broken through to the third level, and there were even more at the peak of the second level. This time, let Little Sword Immortal lead these people there.
About to respond instinctively, Assistant Zhang seemed to recall something, his face changed abruptly, and after hesitating for a moment, he nervously reminded, "Dean, do you think Thunder Tiger will come this time?"
With the current power of the Great Qin Empire, Assistant Zhang was not worried about anything else, only that Thunder Tiger's appearance would render Little Sword Immortal and his team incapable of being a match for this monstrous being.
"Thunder Tiger... It's a Spirit Treasure, this beast will absolutely not miss it."
On hearing Assistant Zhang's words, Dean Lin frowned.
It was hard enough to defeat the Black Demon Tiger, almost a close call for the Great Qin Empire. Facing Thunder Tiger, Little Sword Immortal and others might not just fail but also meet instantaneous doom.
Thinking of Thunder Tiger's fearsome power during its tribulation, Dean Lin's heart tightened unconsciously.
But if the Thunder Tiger problem isn't resolved, dispatching Little Sword Immortal and his team is not about treasure hunting but courting death.
Assistant Zhang watched the dean's changing expression, staying silent, waiting quietly.
After pondering for a while, Dean Lin said with difficulty, "Let's do this! I'll reach out to Willow God to see if this elder can help!"
The Spirit Treasure is simply too important; watching it being taken by beasts is not an option.
"Then, Dean, should I notify the Little Sword Immortal now? Or should I wait until you've asked?"
Hearing the dean would invite Willow God, Assistant Zhang's heart relaxed slightly, but since it was unclear whether Willow God would agree, he asked tentatively.
"Do both, I'll consult Willow God, you handle Little Sword Immortal, help her screen the extraordinaries, and once gathered, wait for my reply. If Willow God agrees, depart immediately; if not… We'll think of something else!"
Dean Lin stood up, his expression stern.
"I will handle it right away!"
Assistant Zhang nodded, preparing to leave.
"Wait, Xiao Zhang, send the news to the two National Preceptors; they probably aren't aware yet."
Dean Lin said suddenly.
"Alright!"
The reason only Little Sword Immortal was leading and not the two National Preceptors with her was due to their relationship with the Great Qin Empire not being that close; it was mere cooperation. The Great Qin Empire valued their abilities, while the Blind Daoist and the Wine Monk sought the Empire's resources and the title of National Preceptor.
If both were to go with Little Sword Immortal to seize the Spirit Treasure, ownership issues would arise.
The Blind Daoist and the Wine Monk definitely wouldn't hand the Spirit Treasure to the Great Qin Empire's officials.
Within the third ring of the Imperial Capital on an artificial hill, stood two magnificent buildings: one a towering, solemn Daoist Temple, the other a grand, bell-echoing temple.
The two buildings were not far apart and were newly constructed by the Great Qin Empire for the Blind Daoist and the Wine Monk; their residences in the Imperial Capital.
Almost at the same time, the meditating Blind Daoist and the scripture-chanting Wine Monk in the temple received messages conveyed by Assistant Zhang's personnel.
Immediately, the Blind Daoist couldn't meditate anymore, excitement surged within him as he stood up and paced in the main hall. It was, after all, a Spirit Treasure!
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this Spirit Treasure is clearly a lost relic of our Daoist Sect, it should be reclaimed!"
Wine Monk even cast aside the Buddhist Scripture, a greedy glint flashing in his squinting eyes.
"Amitabha, this treasure is truly fated with our Buddhism!"
Not long after the two set out, the related news spread online, causing a stir among the many Revivers among the folk.
The emergence of a Spirit Treasure, none would miss out on that.
Instantly, they displayed their Divine Techniques, rushing toward the Kunlun Mountain Range in a bid to seize this Spirit Treasure.
