Chapter 1237: Chapter 682: Emperor Armor_2 Chapter 1237: Chapter 682: Emperor Armor_2 Elder Talon Skyler chuckled softly, “Of course it's true. Would I ever deceive you?”
The others frowned, clearly surprised by Elder Talon Skyler's decisiveness. But they quickly recovered, secretly speculating: Could it be he had already devised a plan, which is why he made such a move here!
A Sect Elder couldn't help but ask, “Elder Talon Skyler, why would you do this? Aren't you afraid that if we obtain the Divine Treasure Map and our power greatly increases, we will pose a threat to you?”
Upon hearing this, the corners of Elder Talon Skyler's mouth curled up into a faint smile, “A threat? What threat should I, Elder Talon Skyler, fear? Moreover, whether the Divine Treasure Map is truly useful will depend on your fate. I merely performed a Favor that flowed with the current, granting you the opportunity to seek out that unknown treasure.”
After speaking, Elder Talon Skyler's figure flashed, vanishing like a ghost from the sight of everyone. He left several Sect Elders standing there, dumbfounded, clutching the fake Divine Treasure Map in their hands, filled with confusion and incomprehension.
However, Elder Talon Skyler hadn't truly left. He hid in a concealed corner, secretly observing the actions of several Sect Elders. When he saw them ecstatic with the fake Divine Treasure Map, even starting to discuss how to distribute the treasure, a cold sneer welled up in his heart.
He knew that these people would never realize that the Divine Treasure Map they held was nothing but an elaborate ruse. And the real Divine Treasure Map had been hidden in a place unknown to anyone. He, Elder Talon Skyler, was never one to be manipulated by others. This time, he had easily resolved the crisis with just a small trick.
After some discussion, the Sect Elders decided to immediately set off in search of the treasure indicated by the Divine Treasure Map. They excitedly left the place, completely unaware that they were being toyed with by Elder Talon Skyler.
And Elder Talon Skyler stood quietly in the same spot, watching their figures gradually disappear from view. His eyes shimmered with a profound light, as if he could already see the day in the future when these people would discover the truth, their astonishment and regret. He smiled lightly, then turned and left, disappearing into the vast woods.
“Maybe what you've given us is a fake Kidney Diagram. When we have no one to turn to for justice, I'm certain you won't help us solve the problem!” A Sect Elder's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction and skepticism, his gaze fixed on Elder Talon Skyler as if to find some slight flaw on his face.
Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Elder Talon Skyler's lips, but inside, he couldn't help wanting to laugh. How could he possibly give them a fake Divine Treasure Map? However, he also understood their worries; after all, the Divine Treasure Map was an unparalleled treasure for any Sect, enough to drive anyone to insanity.
“Rest assured, we are all grasshoppers on the same string. Since you've all said that, I'll certainly have to help you, right!” Elder Talon Skyler spoke with a measure of comforting sincerity, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, trying to make them believe him.
However, despite Elder Talon Skyler's sincere words, the Sect Elders present remained dubious. They exchanged glances, each secretly guessing Elder Talon Skyler's intentions. After all, the temptation of the Divine Treasure Map was so great that they couldn't help but tread carefully.
“Elder Talon Skyler, is what you say true?” A Sect Elder couldn't help but speak up, his voice filled with trepidation and probing.
“It's certainly true. When have I, Elder Talon Skyler, ever broken my word?” Elder Talon Skyler chuckled, his tone brimming with confidence. He knew that his reputation still carried some weight among these Sect Elders.
As Elder Talon Skyler's voice fell, the Sect Elders present exchanged glances, seemingly exchanging opinions without a word. In the end, they decided to trust Elder Talon Skyler once more, for they had no better choice.
Under everyone's gaze, Elder Talon Skyler slowly unfolded a yellowed blueprint, densely inscribed with all manner of strange symbols and patterns. This was the legendary Divine Treasure Map, containing endless treasures and secrets that could drive anyone to insanity.
Elder Talon Skyler's fingers gently traced the blueprint, as if revealing its mysteries to the audience. His eyes twinkled with profound light, as if he could already see a future day when these people, guided by the Divine Treasure Map, discovered the treasure, filled with surprise and ecstasy.
“This is the Divine Treasure Map,” said Elder Talon Skyler. “Guard it well, and never reveal it to outsiders.” His voice was deep and serious, his gaze sweeping over each person in attendance, as if etching his words deep in their hearts.
Looking at the Divine Treasure Map in their hands, several Sect Elders finally showed satisfied smiles. They exchanged looks as if celebrating the hard-won victory. The Divine Treasure Map had at last fallen into their hands, signifying that they would have the opportunity to explore those endless treasures and secrets.
“Thank you, Elder Talon Skyler!” a Sect Elder couldn't help but express his gratitude, his voice carrying a mix of excitement and sincerity.
“No need for thanks,” chuckled Elder Talon Skyler lightly, his tone filled with indifference and freedom. He knew that this transaction was fair for both sides and looked forward to these individuals finding their own treasures with the Divine Treasure Map.
With the delivery of the Divine Treasure Map, the turmoil had finally come to an end. After obtaining the map, several Sect Elders promptly left the place, eager to begin their treasure-hunting journey. Meanwhile, Elder Talon Skyler stood quietly in place, watching their figures disappear from sight, a wave of indescribable emotion rising in his heart.
He knew that the appearance of the Divine Treasure Map would ignite an unprecedented treasure hunt fever, altering the pattern of the Cultivation World. He anticipated the future changes, as well as the opportunities and fates these people would find with the Divine Treasure Map.
After this incident, Elder Talon Skyler also began his own plans. He did not relax his vigilance because of the map's handover; rather, he observed the Cultivation World's movements even more cautiously. He was aware that the appearance of the Divine Treasure Map was merely the start, and the real challenges and opportunities were still waiting for him.
As for those Sect Elders who had obtained the Divine Treasure Map, they proceeded with their intense preparations upon leaving Elder Talon Skyler. They recognized that the appearance of the map meant they had the chance to become elites in the Cultivation World, and they had to seize this opportunity, or they would miss the chance.
So, they began to gather the Elite Disciples of the Sect, ready to commence their treasure-hunting journey. They believed that, guided by the Divine Treasure Map, they would certainly find the endless treasures and secrets, becoming legendary figures in the Cultivation World.
However, what they did not know was what kind of secrets and dangers lay behind the Divine Treasure Map. They were even more unaware that Elder Talon Skyler had left his means within the map when he handed it over. This treasure hunt would be a journey full of the unknown and danger, and they would face unprecedented challenges and tests.
“Old man Talon Skyler, you have finally done something human, but we've all heard that this Divine Treasure Map is missing a piece. Do you know the whereabouts of that piece?” a Sect Elder asked with dissatisfaction and urgency in his tone, his eyes fixed on Elder Talon Skyler, as if to pry the secret of the missing piece from him.
With a slight smile, Elder Talon Skyler's eyes flashed cunningly. “You always want things to be so perfect. But what good does it do to tell you? After all, you can't find it,” he said.
