"Oh, such a valuable treasure, I ought to see it for myself."

Gao Xuan certainly had no goodwill towards the Demonic Sect, as this group clearly belonged to the Human Race, yet they were more vicious than demons.

Gao Xuan spared the East Sea Dragon Race and the Buddhist Sect because these two organizations couldn’t be considered evil. They were an essential part of the Eastern Province’s order.

The conflicts with these two major forces could be reconciled, or at least in his view, they were not significant problems.

His ruthless approach towards the Northern Province’s Buddhist Sect and Dragon Race was because these two forces crossed the line.

One gathered all their forces to kill him, while the other caused a flood, killing millions. These were intolerable to Gao Xuan.

Of course, Gao Xuan also reached a peak of power, far beyond the limits of this realm. He didn’t mind these people’s minor offenses.

Much like a billionaire wouldn’t argue over a few bucks, his indifference stemmed from his confidence.

As for the East Sea Dragon Court and the Buddhist Sect seeking revenge, Gao Xuan wouldn’t stop them. If they wanted to bring about their demise, so be it.

The Demonic Sect couldn’t be compared with the Buddhist Sect or the East Sea Dragon Court. This faction was a cancer, only good for destruction and slaughter. Such an organization, Gao Xuan would have no mercy upon encountering them.

However, since the Demonic Sect voluntarily brought treasure to him, he saw no reason to refuse.

Even villains have their value.

Gao Xuan was deeply scheming; although Aoba was the Demonic Sect’s Saintess, skilled in Celestial Demon Secret Techniques and adept at reading people’s hearts, she couldn’t fathom Gao Xuan’s true thoughts.

Aoba felt somewhat anxious, as this was the powerful figure who wiped out the North Sea Dragon Race. Even the Third Prince of the East Sea angered him and was beheaded with a single sword.

His decisive killing induced fear among many cultivators in the Eastern Province.

Aoba courageously ventured forth, realizing that to collaborate with such a formidable person, risks were necessary.

This was a heaven-sent opportunity. If handled well, it could overthrow the Buddhist Sect and the East Sea Dragon Court, and destroy the order of the Eastern Province.

In the short term, this seemed to offer little advantage to the Demonic Sect.

In reality, the Eastern Province, robbed of stable order, would become a paradise for the Demonic Sect. At that point, they could wreak havoc freely.

The entire Eastern Province, even the whole Cyan Celestial Realm, would have millions of humans become the Demonic Sect’s prey.

This would lay the foundation for them to even reconstruct Celestial Demon bodies.

The key to all this was Gao Xuan. Therefore, Aoba was willing to take the risk for Gao Xuan.

Upon hearing Gao Xuan’s permission, Aoba was both surprised and pleased.

Surprised at how easily Gao Xuan agreed, pleased that this matter finally had a good start.

Aoba took out a Deep Blue Treasure Pearl from her sleeve and respectfully presented it to Gao Xuan with both hands: "Celestial Master, please look, this is the treasure."

Gao Xuan casually received it; this Deep Blue Treasure Pearl was only the size of a walnut, perfectly round and smooth, its deep blue color as profound and beautiful as the night sky.

In the depths of the Deep Blue Treasure Pearl, countless tiny golden lights shimmered, resembling the endless stars of the night sky.

Gao Xuan scanned it with his Divine Sense, discovering that the space within the Deep Blue Treasure Pearl was truly vast and boundless, even more expansive than the Profound Nether Curse Sea of the Hongyi Sword.

With his Divine Sense Power, he couldn’t completely sense the boundaries of the Treasure Pearl. This realm indeed resembled endless starry skies.

Momentarily, Gao Xuan couldn’t discern the nature of the Treasure Pearl’s power, which sparked his intense interest.

"What is this?"

Aoba softly and obediently replied: "This treasure is called the Future Star Constellation Pearl. It is the treasured legacy of our Celestial Demon Sect."

Gao Xuan laughed: "Your Sect Leader is truly generous, gifting me the treasured legacy."

Aoba respectfully replied with a slight bow: "Celestial Master, our sect leader, the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch, has long admired your formidable reputation. We are being suppressed by the Buddhist Sect and the East Sea Dragon Court, making our cultivation path increasingly arduous.

"Given this opportunity, we hope the Celestial Master can control the two major forces, granting us a way to survive."

Aoba did not conceal their intentions; with a figure like Gao Xuan, their little schemes could not be kept hidden from him.

It was better to be straightforward, to earn a bit of goodwill from Gao Xuan.

Of course, the Celestial Demon Sect had deeper schemes in this matter, but those need not be elaborated.

Gao Xuan asked again: "What use does this treasure have?"

Aoba answered: "The Future Star Constellation Pearl corresponds to the Stars of the Nine Heavens. By refining this treasure, endless Star Power can be summoned. Additionally, the treasure can invoke the Power of Nine Heavens Star Constellations, concealing the lines of fate. Even the Daluo Golden Immortal above the Nine Heavens would have difficulty deciphering this treasure..."

Aoba elaborated on the transformations of the Future Star Constellation Pearl, concluding with: "Celestial Master’s divine techniques are invincible, but beware the Celestial Mandate Mirror of the East Sea Dragon Court and the Reincarnation Disc of the Buddhist Sect."

"What are those two?"

Gao Xuan was indeed ignorant of them, and since Aoba voluntarily came as the explainer, he certainly wouldn’t let it go to waste.

"The Celestial Mandate Mirror can reveal the past and future of living beings, and through Secret Technique worship, it can also rewrite a being’s fate."

Aoba said: "If Ao Dongcheng knows he cannot win, he will undoubtedly use all means to activate the Celestial Mandate Mirror. If he inscribes the death date on the Celestial Mandate Mirror, you will surely die.

She sighed, "The Celestial Mandate Mirror can control fate and is considered the foremost divine artifact of this realm. The East Sea Dragon Court uses this treasure to suppress the Dragon Race’s fortune, allowing them to dominate the Cyan Celestial Realm for a million years..."

"Indeed powerful."

Hearing this, Gao Xuan realized the power of the Celestial Mandate Mirror; such causality-type treasures, if powerful enough, could pose a threat to him.

The stronger the power of such causality-type divine artifacts, the greater the cost of using them.

The East Sea Dragon King, even if they sacrificed the Cyan Celestial Realm, would find it difficult for the Celestial Mandate Mirror to completely kill him.
