Long Xuan mobilized his powerful divine sense, directly transmitting his thoughts to Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan:
"Hey, Little Red, Furball, listen to me while you fight."
Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan, who were fiercely attacking each other, were stunned when they heard the voice in their minds. It should have been directed at them, but what awful names. They looked towards the Sky-Devouring Sparrow, but it wasn't.
Long Xuan chuckled. He had learned this advanced method of communication from the Willow Deity long ago, and almost no one in the lower realm could hear it.
"Who are you?"
A clear voice entered Long Xuan's ears. He didn't play coy: "You two are fighting so ferociously, aren't you afraid of being taken advantage of?"
After hearing Long Xuan's explanation, they couldn't help but be stunned, but their actions didn't stop, although they did reduce the force of their attacks.
They looked towards the Sky-Devouring Sparrow and indeed, they found that it was all thunder and no rain. The two ferocious beasts were making a huge commotion, but they didn't have any injuries.
They weren't stupid. According to Long Xuan, they immediately figured out the cause and the consequences, and anger flashed in their eyes.
Zhu Yan, with his fiery temper, blurted out, "Who are you? Why are you telling us all this?"
Long Xuan, hearing this, knew his plan was working. "We're all here for the Mountain Treasure. Instead of letting them have it, why don't we cooperate? We can split it afterward. It's better than letting them take everything."
Vermilion Bird pondered for a moment, then said in a clear voice, "If we don't trust them, how can we trust you?"
Long Xuan replied directly, "If you don't believe me, I can swear on my Dao Heart. If I violate this agreement, my Dao Heart will shatter, and I'll never advance in cultivation again."
Hearing Long Xuan's oath, their expressions softened. Such an oath couldn't be taken lightly. They questioned, "So, what do we do?"
Long Xuan stated plainly, "In your current condition, you might not even be at half your usual strength. Besides, you're both injured.
Those two are practically unscathed. Even if you fought them now, you'd be defeated. And my cultivation is nowhere near enough to take on either of you."
Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan nodded, listening to Long Xuan's analysis. Their current state was indeed dire. Long Xuan continued,
"My plan is this: when the Mountain Treasure appears, you two hold back the Sky-Devouring Sparrow for a while. Don't engage them directly."
"I'll take the opportunity to sneak into the Mountain Treasure's area, grab it, and then we'll divvy up the loot."
After hearing Long Xuan's plan and considering its feasibility, they all agreed. Someone who could make an oath was more reliable than the Sky-Devouring Sparrow and the others.
"Alright, we agree! Where do we find you afterward?"
Long Xuan revealed a meaningful smile and slowly said, "Even if I don't say anything, you two will meet me then."
Vermilion Bird and the others were taken aback, but they didn't dwell on it. He couldn't escape anyway.
So, they began to act as well, their attacks landing on each other, causing little damage.
Boom!
Suddenly, a world-shaking explosion erupted from the center of the Barren Mountain Plains. Rocks scattered everywhere, and a large crack split open in the plains. Chaotic mist began to surge out from the crack, spreading throughout the vast wilderness.
At the center, immortal light shone, and auspicious signs descended from the sky. Amidst the churning chaotic mist, a supreme treasure was being born, its aura shocking the entire Great Wilderness.
"A Mountain Treasure has appeared!"
Almost everyone in the Great Wilderness knew, and they were deeply shocked. A world-shaking holy object was about to appear.
At the same time, in the newly relocated Stone Village, the sounds from the depths of the Great Wilderness were also received. At this moment, the luster on the few branches of the willow tree at the entrance had already dimmed. The long-distance transfer of Stone Village was a terrifying level of consumption for the Willow Deity.
"Xiao Xuan."
Within the withered black willow tree, a figure in white robes, whiter than snow, appeared. Her face was obscured by a chaotic mist, making it impossible to see her features. Behind her were three thousand light clusters, with the chanting of scriptures coming from the many divine kingdoms within.
The Willow Deity, who was in seclusion, opened her eyes, runes swirling in her deep eyes. She looked towards the location of the Mountain Treasure, silent for a long time. Finally, she closed her eyes again, her body emitting spots of brilliance as she went into closed-door cultivation to recover.
In the center of the mountain range, a light cluster wrapped in chaotic energy was floating, shrouded in immortal qi, emitting a radiant glow.
The four beasts that were in battle all stopped, their eyes burning with passion as they looked at that light cluster. Although they didn't know what was inside, they could tell it was extraordinary just from the phenomenon.
"The Ancient Heavenly Technique, the Ten Evil Treasures, and half of the Original True Understanding: Transcendence Chapter," Long Xuan exclaimed inwardly. Even ancient, powerful experts would covet these treasures, and they were right before him.
"The sacred objects are mine!"
The Sky-Devouring Sparrow let out a long cry, its aura intensifying. Black energy billowed as it unleashed its full power.
It charged towards the Mountain Treasure with incredible speed.
"Heh, little bird, scram!"
Zhu Yan, with its furry hand wielding an iron rod like a heavenly pillar, swept it across. A storm of wind erupted, and rocks tumbled.
Primitive runes surfaced on the rod, revealing a mysterious power, and it struck with its most potent attack.
The Sky-Devouring Sparrow, focused on the Mountain Treasure, was promptly smacked in the face by a metal rod with a resounding "BANG!" It let out a miserable shriek and was sent flying far away.
After flapping its wings, its eyes practically blazed with fury: "Seeking death!" It immediately opened its enormous mouth, capable of swallowing the heavens, and unleashed a beam of black light that obliterated everything in its path.
Zhu Yan swiftly dodged, as its task was simply to restrain the Sky-Devouring Sparrow.
On the other side, the Vermilion Bird spat out scorching flames, relentlessly harassing the Qiongqi. Currently, the two great凶兽 were both held up by the Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan.
Long Xuan seized the opportunity and stealthily approached. With both sides engrossed in battle, no one noticed the individual concealing his aura below.
In a short while, Long Xuan reached the location of the Mountain Treasure.
Upon close inspection, he saw that the Mountain Treasure's surface was wreathed in ethereal energy, with mysterious inscriptions locking the entire light sphere. Truly worthy of being a part of the Original True Understanding: Transcendence Chapter, it even emitted a faint sound of the Dao.
Long Xuan's breathing quickened, but he immediately calmed himself.
Looking at the Mountain Treasure so close, the problem Long Xuan faced now was the two Beast Sovereigns outside.
Long Xuan turned his head to look at the two sides still fighting. As long as Long Xuan put the Mountain Treasure into the Star Essence Pearl, the anomaly here would disappear.
With such a big commotion, the Sky-Devouring Sparrow wouldn't possibly fail to notice. Moreover, Zhu Yan and the others were clearly at a disadvantage and wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"Splash!"
Just as Long Xuan was getting anxious, the sound of water flowing rang out. After searching, it was discovered that the cracks caused by the Mountain Treasure's emergence had actually connected to an underground river.
"A sudden turn of events!"
Although he didn't know where this river would lead, it was the only way out, so he had to take a risk.
In the distance, Zhu Yan and Vermilion Bird were in a bad state due to the previous great battle. Zhu Yan was now almost on the verge of death, and Vermilion Bird was also holding on with her last bit of strength.
It wouldn't be long before it might also be severely wounded and fall.
