"Captain Xiao." Jian Wushuang had just opened his mouth.
"You don't have to call me Captain Xiao. Just call me by my name or Tiexin will do too." Xiao Tiexin said, "By the way, I still don't know your name."
"Me? I'm Sword One." Jian Wushuang still used his alias.
"Mr. Sword One, what do you want to ask?" Xiao Tiexin asked.
"I want to ask you about the treasure that the Xiao Clan obtained. What's going on?" Jian Wushuang asked in a deep voice.
"That treasure?" Xiao Tiexin pondered for a moment and said, "It's actually not a secret anymore. Many people know about it. If Mr. Sword One wants to know, I can tell you the whole story."
Jian Wushuang nodded slightly and listened carefully.
"The Xiao Clan obtained that treasure not long ago. It's only been slightly more than 20 years since then. At that time, an Ultimate God Elder of the Xiao Clan was fighting with someone. For some reason, the surrounding void suddenly shattered and the treasure flew out from the void and was obtained by that Elder," said Xiao Tiexin.
"Twenty years ago? It appeared from the shattered void? "Jian Wushuang was shocked.
It had only been twenty years since he was born in this lifetime. The timing was exactly the same. It appeared from the shattered void and his Blood Mountain Sword also fell from the sky.
"That treasure is a picture scroll. After the elders of the Xiao Family obtained the picture scroll, they immediately brought it back to the Xiao Family and studied it together with the other elders. Unfortunately, the picture scroll is very mysterious and strange. The experts of the Xiao Family tried all kinds of methods, but they couldn't open it, let alone refine it. However, during the process of refining it, we obtained some information from the picture scroll and found out that the picture scroll is called the Stately Painting!" Xiao Tiexin said.
Jian Wushuang looked calm.
It was normal for the Xiao Clan's experts to be unable to refine the scroll painting. After all, if the scroll painting was the real The Stately Painting, it was the Seven Star Black Sect's most precious treasure. How could it be easily recognized by an ordinary person? Without an owner, the Stately Painting could not be opened.
"Tiexin, other than the name of the painting, what else do you know?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"There's another message that I remember very clearly." Xiao Tiexin paused for a moment before reciting, "The Map of Mountains and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale. Endless mountains and rivers, dividing the world into nine provinces …"
Xiao Tiexin recited the first half of the sentence, but before she could finish reciting the second half.
But Jian Wushuang had already opened his mouth. "Mountains and rivers as the palm, the Nine Provinces as the seal, create the country!"
"Mr. Sword One, you know about this message?" Xiao Tiexin looked at Jian Wushuang in surprise.
"Hehe." Jian Wushuang only smiled faintly. His expression did not change at all, but his heart was already violently shaken.
"The Stately Painting, it really is my Stately Painting!" Jian Wushuang roared both in body and mind.
Previously, they only knew that the Xiao Clan had obtained a scroll treasure called the Stately Painting, but they were still unable to confirm whether it was the real Stately Painting.
But now, Jian Wushuang was completely sure of the information he got from Xiao Tiexin.
It was indeed The Stately Painting!
It was the most powerful treasure he had in his previous life, and it was also one of the most powerful treasures of the Seven Star Black Sect!
"I thought it would take me a long time and effort to find The Stately Painting since it was lost in this life, but I didn't expect to hear about it so soon." Jian Wushuang was extremely excited, but he suppressed it and continued to ask, "What happened after that? What happened after that?"
"Everyone knows what happened after that. The Northern Darkstar Territorial Lord found out that our Xiao Clan had obtained this treasure. Although neither our Xiao Clan nor the Territorial Lord knew the origin of this treasure, we were sure that this treasure was of a very high level. It was at least a Heavenly Treasure, and it was an extremely special one. The Territorial Lord was tempted when he heard about it." Xiao Tiexin's eyes were immediately filled with endless anger when she said this.
"In fact, our Xiao Clan has always had some conflicts with the Territorial Lord over the years. It was not a day or two that the Territorial Lord wanted to take action against our Xiao Clan. However, our Xiao Clan was a top clan after all. A slight move in one part would affect the whole situation. Even if he was the Territorial Lord, he still had a lot of scruples. However, with the appearance of The Stately Painting, the Territorial Lord finally could not hold back anymore."
"Without any warning, he directly attacked our Xiao Clan. With his absolute strength, he uprooted our Xiao Clan in a very short time. Apart from me, no one else in the Xiao Clan survived!"
Xiao Tiexin's body was trembling, and so were her teeth.
Jian Wushuang could understand. After all, it was the extermination of a clan!
This hatred was so great that it shocked the heavens.
Jian Wushuang waited for Xiao Tiexin to calm down before continuing to ask, "The Stately Painting has also fallen into the hands of the Territorial Lord?"
"Yes." Xiao Tiexin nodded. "Not only the Stately Painting, but also the wealth and treasures accumulated by our Xiao Clan over the years have fallen into the hands of the Territorial Lord. I'm not sure if the Territorial Lord has refined the Stately Painting or passed it to someone else after obtaining it."
"It's impossible for an Earth Ultimate God like the Territorial Lord to refine The Stately Painting." Jian Wushuang shook his head.
He knew very well that it was impossible for even a top-notch Undying Saint to refine The Stately Painting, let alone an Ultimate God.
In this world, there were very few people who had the ability to refine The Stately Painting and truly control the treasure. Jian Wushuang was only able to get the Stately Painting to recognize its master in his previous life due to his master's help and his Inverse Cultivation.
"The Stately Painting has been obtained by the Territorial Lord for less than twenty years. It's very likely that he still has it." Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes with an unprecedented cold glint flashing in the depths of his eyes.
He did not have any grudges against the Territorial Lord.
Although he had the idea to challenge the Territorial Lord and replace him, it was just a thought and did not necessarily have to be realized.
Moreover, the Ancient God Domain had countless Stellar Regions. There were hundreds of Stellar Regions in one realm alone, and there were many Territorial Lords. There was no need for him to challenge the Territorial Lord.
However, things were different now.
The Stately Painting was in the hands of the Territorial Lord. Jian Wushuang was bound to go against the Territorial Lord just to regain his treasure.
"The Territorial Lord is an Earth Ultimate God after all. I don't know how strong he is among the Earth Ultimate Gods. I'm far from being able to compete with him with my current strength. I have to find a way to improve my strength as soon as possible. I need a lot of Primordial Stones to improve my strength!"
