Chapter 1454: Treasures in Hand, the Final Condition (Part 1) Chapter 1454: Treasures in Hand, the Final Condition (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations No wonder Jiang Chengxuan seemed indifferent to the celestial weapon that Elder Star Hu had presented.
It turned out that he possessed an actual Celestial Immortal weapon.
With such a treasure in his hands, what other weapon could hope to captivate him?
Around him, the crowd of immortals suddenly understood, their gazes filled with both envy and awe.
The appearance of the Tai Chu Water and Fire Sword only made Jiang Chengxuan's status appear even more mysterious and formidable.
With a Celestial Immortal weapon and his unfathomable techniques, who among his peers could challenge him?
Elders Star Hu, Star Fall, and Star Scourge each wore complex expressions.
No wonder Jiang had been unfazed by their combined assault; with a Celestial Immortal weapon, his power was unmatched.
During their previous battle, though Jiang had tapped into the Tai Chu Water and Fire Sword's power, he had yet to reveal its full might, leaving them unaware of its true nature until now.
Celestial Immortal weapons were heavenly creations of unmatched rarity, born from a convergence of immense universal energy over eons.
Their rarity surpassed even that of Celestial Immortals themselves.
To wield such a weapon to its full potential in a one-on-one duel was to guarantee victory.
In a two-on-one, it would even the odds, and against three opponents, it would at least provide a fighting chanceaEUR”such was the terrifying power of a Celestial Immortal weapon.
“I already have a suitable weapon,” Jiang Chengxuan said with a slight smile, his eyes scanning the crowd.
“It's not that I'm intentionally being difficult.” Silence fell over the crowd.
Those who had speculated about Jiang's intentions now averted their gazes, unsure how to respond, and even Elders Star Hu, Star Scourge, and Star Fall had no retort, their faces dark with frustration.
With a Celestial Immortal weapon in hand, Jiang's claim of indifference to lesser treasures held weight beyond question.
Inside, Jiang was pleased; his plan had worked.
Though he already had the Tai Chu Water and Fire Sword and Shen Ruyan wielded the Five Thunder Immortal Sword, this pseudo-celestial weapon could still be of great use to the alliance's other masters, boosting their combat prowess significantly.
His refusal, then, was not due to a lack of interest but rather a strategic ploy to secure his real targetaEUR”the elusive Transmutable Heavenly Stone.
This piece of Star Fragment Plain held significant value, roughly equivalent to three prized treasures, and anything more would likely push Starry Celestial Sect to abandon the deal entirely.
Although he controlled the sect's fate, inciting direct conflict with them would yield little benefit.
After all, Central Continent housed many hidden powers, mysterious forces that remained concealed.
Though Western Continent's power was rising, it was unwise to fully engage in Central Continent at this time.
So in his plan, Jiang intended to reject the third treasure regardless of its value, even going so far as to reveal a more precious weapon to dissuade them from any further attempts at bargaining.
This would signal that he was not a typical cultivator who could be enticed by common treasures and that he came solely to claim his prize, not to stir up deeper schemes.
As Jiang observed the faces of the crowd shifting in realization, he knew his plan had succeeded.
Now, the most critical moment awaitedaEUR”the question of whether Elder Star Hu would present the Transmutable Heavenly Stone.
To most, this item's function would seem obscure, its true use only essential for a Celestial Immortal's breakthrough, making it appear merely as a unique source of elemental essence.
“WellaEUR since you say so, we'll keep the weapon,” Star Hu said, retracting the pseudo-celestial weapon, though his face remained tight with strain.
“But understand, Starry Celestial Sect has suffered greatly in this disaster, losing numerous treasures.
Going forwardaEUR ” His words implied a reluctance to part with more precious artifacts, signaling a strained patience, as if urging Jiang not to push further lest the deal fall apart entirely.
Jiang only smiled in response, refraining from any reply.
Whatever the cost, the Transmutable Heavenly Stone was within his sights.
“AhaEUR ” Star Hu sighed deeply.
Under the eaves, one must bow.
After a moment of hesitation, he reluctantly extended his hand, drawing out one final item.
This time, a soft, radiant glow spread outward, as if a sea of stars had been unleashed from his storage ring, filling the sky.
The pure essence of the stone filled the air with a vibrant, ethereal energy, and an almost enchanting, fluid sensation swept over everyone present.
The immortals focused intently, watching as a substance resembling crystalline stone essence materialized in Star Hu's hand.
It looked like a glossy, transparent clay, interspersed with sparkling crystals of various colors.
Gradually, the stone's surface began to shimmer, transforming into a cloud-like mist, exuding a boundless, dreamlike quality.
Jiang's expression remained calm, but inside, he was thrilled.
There it was, unmistakablyaEUR”the Transmutable Heavenly Stone.
This stone was a marvel capable of endless transformations, its essence constantly shifting through countless elemental affinities and laws of nature.
