Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 230 Gift of the Most Powerful Treasure

"Are you sure?"

The founder of Giant Axe confirmed with Qi Yuan again.

"Of course I wouldn't dare deceive the founder of the Giant Axe," Qi Yuan replied with a faint smile.

"Hahaha, good! Good! Good!"

The founder of the giant axe, who was in the main seat, suddenly burst into laughter.

This scene immediately silenced all the other universe lords, who all cast inquiring glances at him.

"Giant Axe, what good news is there?"

"Haha, Giant Axe seems so happy, did you make a great discovery?"

"Giant Axe"

Lord of Chaos City, Lord of Desolate Mirror, and other cosmic lords all inquired with curiosity.

After all, it's rare for the founder of the giant axe to lose his composure like this!

"Haha, there is indeed some great news!"

The Giant Axe Founder first glanced at Qi Yuan, who nodded with a faint smile, before continuing to speak, meeting the gazes of the various universe lords.

"Everyone, Qi Yuan just told me that his clone, who was adventuring in the Cosmic Sea, obtained an extremely powerful treasure!"

"I've obtained an extremely powerful treasure!!!"

Upon hearing this, all the cosmic lords on both sides of the long table fell into an instant silence.

After the silence came a sudden explosion!
"The most powerful treasure!"

"A miraculous encounter led to the acquisition of an extremely powerful treasure? Really?"

"A miraculous encounter, is the news true? Did they really obtain the most powerful treasure?"

Among the leaders of various major forces, including the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Penggong, the Lord of Huangjian, and the Lord of Qingdong, all the cosmic lords present cast expectant and confirming glances at Qi Yuan.

Meeting the expectant gazes of the assembled universe lords, Qi Yuan smiled and nodded:
"It's true. My clone is on its way back to the original universe and will soon bring back that supreme treasure."

"We have truly obtained the most powerful and precious treasure!"

Upon receiving his confirmation, the cosmic lords gathered around the long table erupted in excitement!
"Excellent! After so long... our human race has finally regained its supreme treasure!"

"Very well, the three most powerful races that fought us the fiercest all possess supreme treasures, while our human race has none... Although our human race is not afraid of them, we are ultimately somewhat lacking in confidence. Now it's all right..."

"Qiyuan, you...we must thank you on behalf of our tribe! You have done a great service!"

"Qiyuan has done a great job!"

The cosmic lords around the long table were all praising him loudly, and some were constantly thanking and praising Qi Yuan.

The most powerful treasure is the treasure that protects the clan. As a top clan, if there is no most powerful treasure in the clan, many super beings in the human clan will always feel uneasy.

Since the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed, the most powerful treasures possessed by the human race were also suppressed along with him. In recent years, the human race has been in a state of having no most powerful treasures.

In other words, the founder of the giant axe was strong enough to barely support the human race in resisting the three major races.

However, lacking the most powerful treasure, the Giant Axe Founder had never dared to reveal his strength too much while venturing into the Cosmic Sea for countless years, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the strongest beings in the universe and being targeted by them.

Now, however, they suddenly heard that Qi Yuan had obtained a supreme treasure, how could they not be excited and thrilled!
"Qi Yuan, what type of supreme treasure is that?"

The Lord of Chaos asked with some anticipation.

"Yes, a miraculous encounter, what type of supreme treasure is it? A weapon? Armor? Or something else?"

Other universe lords were also curious.

“It is a supreme treasure of the palace type,” Qi Yuan said directly.

"Palace-type!"

"Haha, it's a palace-themed game! That's great!"

"Within a palace-type supreme treasure, one can be considered absolutely safe!"

"A fortunate event, a great fortunate event for our human race!"

The Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Penggong, the Lord of Void Gold, and other cosmic lords, including the founder of the Giant Axe, all showed expressions of extreme excitement!

Even among the most powerful treasures, there is a huge difference between them.

When it comes to the most significant boost to combat power, the most powerful and precious weapon-type treasures that are perfectly suited to oneself are naturally the best.

When it comes to protection, survival, and escape, palace-type treasures are the best!
If the creator of the giant axe had such a supreme treasure palace, he could almost roam the universe without worrying about perishing. The entire human race would also be more confident when facing external threats!
just
"A miraculous encounter, what do you plan to do with this supreme treasure?" asked the Triangular Scaled Giant Lord of the Desolate Mirror directly.

The other cosmic lords also turned their attention to the sound.

Logically, such a supreme treasure should naturally be placed in the hands of the clan's sole strongest being in the universe to unleash its full potential. However, since Qi Yuan obtained this supreme treasure himself without relying on any of the clan's power, according to the rules, control over this supreme treasure naturally belongs entirely to Qi Yuan.

After all, the supreme treasure is not like other treasures such as the Qijing Stone, which can be given away easily. It is possible that even if you give it up this time, you may not be able to obtain a second supreme treasure by the end of this cycle!
Even the most shameless ruler of the universe couldn't bring himself to ask Qi Yuan to willingly give up his supreme treasure!

Because if you say these words, you might directly offend a powerful universe lord who controls a palace-type supreme treasure. The consequences of that are something no one can afford!

"How should we handle this?"

Qi Yuan smiled faintly upon hearing this, and then said directly, "As the only strongest being in the universe among my human race, I naturally intend to contribute this supreme treasure to the race, so that the Giant Axe Founder can control and use it first."

"Qi Yuan, there's no need for that. You obtained the treasure yourself, so it should be under your control!"

The founder of the giant axe quickly refused.

This is an extremely powerful and precious treasure!
It is a powerful treasure that all the strongest beings in the universe would go crazy for, especially since it is a supreme treasure of the palace type!

It would be a lie to say that the giant axe was not tempted by such a treasure.

However, as mentioned earlier, Qi Yuan obtained this treasure entirely through his own efforts, without receiving any help from his clan in the process.

Therefore, even though he was the only human in the universe to be the strongest, he couldn't bring himself to ask Qi Yuan to voluntarily offer up this treasure.

"Given your cultivation speed, you have a very high chance of breaking through to the realm of the strongest in the universe. This treasure can remain in your hands. Once you break through, this treasure will surely become a pillar of our human race. Haha, then I'll be able to relax a lot!"

The founder of the giant axe smiled and declined.

"The founder of the giant axe".

Qi Yuan shook his head and said, "I have the talent to create clones, so even if I wander in the cosmic sea, I won't have to worry about dying. Compared to me, you need this palace treasure more."

"But."

The founder of the giant axe was about to decline when Qi Yuan interrupted him directly.

"Giant Axe, there's no need to refuse anymore. At worst, I'll lend it to you for now. If I don't have a suitable treasure when I break through to become the strongest in the universe, you can return it to me."

Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, if you feel bad about the giant axe, you can give me a few extra top-tier treasures. My several clones are still lacking some powerful treasures."

He wasn't really that noble, or that he was particularly concerned about the interests of the human race.

The main reason for choosing to contribute an extremely powerful treasure is still based on self-interest.

With his disciple Long Ji breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm, and with the Lord of Tongling, a disciple at the Universe Lord level, Qi Yuan now finds it extremely easy to obtain the most powerful treasure.

For example, right now, he possesses three supreme treasures of the palace category, including the Wonderful Fate Tower!
Now, the only place he can use the Supreme Palace is with his Shangqing clone who is adventuring in the Cosmic Sea.

Too many duplicate treasures are useless to oneself and cannot be returned to the system as 'gifts'. It is better to take them out and exchange them for top-tier treasures from the top experts of the human race. These top-tier treasures can be used as gifts.

Especially the founder of the giant axe, as the only strongest human in the universe, must have a great many treasures on him, probably including quite a few supreme treasures at the peak domain level.

Any top-tier treasure, even if given to the somewhat 'useless' disciple of the Lord of Tongling, could easily yield an even more powerful treasure in return.

Giving up one supreme treasure in exchange for several 'gifts' that can return the supreme treasure reward is a deal that is definitely worthwhile for Qi Yuan!
As for enhancing the strength of human powerhouses like the Giant Axe Founder, that was just a side effect.

The claim that they returned from the cosmic sea was merely a fabricated excuse to justify the use of the most powerful treasure.

"Oh, right, and there's also Earth, which I was just talking about."

As Qi Yuan spoke, he looked up and scanned the group of universe lords, but his gaze finally settled on the Lord of Desolate Mirror sitting opposite him.
“Huang Jian previously said that the value of a Qijing Stone was not enough for Luo Feng to regain half ownership of Earth. Now I am contributing this supreme treasure to my clan, and incidentally helping him to do a favor. This amount should be enough, right?”

Now that he had already given away the most precious treasure, Qi Yuan naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to gain favor.

"That's more than enough!"

The Lord of the Desolate Mirror, who was being stared at by Qi Yuan, remained calm. "Qi Yuan, your willingness to contribute this supreme treasure makes you a great contributor to our human race. Compared to your contribution, our meager interests on Earth are nothing. I agree to return ownership of Earth!"

"I agree."

"I agree."

The two leaders, Peng Gongzhi and Qing Dongzhi, also spoke up.

"Qi Yuan."

The Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but look at Qi Yuan. He hadn't expected that the other party would support his disciple so strongly, even going so far as to contribute one of his most powerful treasures. The level of support he showed was even greater than that of his teacher.

"I have always considered myself fair in dealing with matters, but in this matter concerning Earth, perhaps I have truly let down my disciple," the Chaos City Lord sighed silently to himself.

"Qi Yuan!"

The founder of the giant axe, seated in the main seat, finally spoke again.
"Since things have come to this point, I will no longer be overly modest with you. So, as you said, this palace of treasures will be temporarily lent to me. Once I acquire another supreme treasure, or when you break through to the realm of the strongest in the universe, this treasure will be returned to you immediately!"

"In addition, I'll offer five more top-tier treasures. Hehe, consider these five top-tier treasures as payment for using your supreme treasure!"

The founder of the giant axe laughed, "As for Earth, we'll proceed as you suggested, returning all ownership of the entire Earth to Luo Feng. As for the Qijing Stone in Luo Feng's possession, it's up to him. If he's willing to hand it over, the clan can offer him other exchange options; if he's unwilling to hand it over, he can keep it for himself."
