Chapter 1453: Three Rare Treasures, Awe of the Immortals (Part 2) Chapter 1453: Three Rare Treasures, Awe of the Immortals (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations When Jiang Chengxuan finished speaking, the scene fell into a prolonged silence.
Elder Star Hu stood frozen in place, unsure how to respond.
A moment ago, he had been inwardly mocking Jiang Chengxuan for his supposed ignorance.
But in the next instant, Jiang Chengxuanâs actions proved that the truly ignorant one was himself.
Jiangâs gaze rested on Star Hu with a hint of knowing amusement, as though he could see through Star Huâs every thought.
Surrounded by the scrutiny of so many immortals, Star Hu felt his face burn with embarrassment.
But he was, after all, a seasoned elder who had weathered countless storms.
In the face of life and death, he quickly adjusted his mindset, reminding himself that a bruised ego was a small price to pay for survival.
âHehââŹÂŚ I must admit, youâre right.
Every word is true,â Star Hu replied through gritted teeth, forcing a smile despite the pain it brought him.
This precious elixir had been one of his most prized possessions, carefully preserved for his own use when he planned to break through the later stages of the Celestial Immortal realm.
Yet now, he was offering it up to Jiang Chengxuan.
Along with the Primal Spirit Tree, these two treasures were treasures of such rarity that they could easily spark wars among Celestial Immortals.
Even Jiang Chengxuanâs eyes sparkled with genuine admiration as he remarked, âThe Starry Celestial Sect truly has deep reserves of wealth and heritage.
Impressive.â The value of these two treasures was undeniableââŹâeven he, without the right fortune or opportunities, would have struggled to obtain them.
Although Jiang was already half a step into the Celestial realm, these essential treasures would be of great benefit to his companion Shen Ruyan.
But Star Hu, Star Scourge, and Star Fall couldnât help but feel a strange bitterness at Jiangâs praise.
All their heritage and strength were, at this moment, merely gifts for another.
Their carefully guarded treasures, now stripped from them, had become a burden.
After a long silence, Star Hu held up the two treasures and asked, âWould these two offerings be enough to satisfy you?â His question drew everyoneâs attention once again.
Two such potent treasures were already enough to make others envious.
But Jiang Chengxuan held the life and death of the Starry Celestial Sect in his hands.
Would he truly let them go so easily?
All the watching immortals subtly shook their heads, convinced that Jiang would never spare the Starry Celestial Sect without a steeper price.
Though the value of these treasures was enough to rival a whole domain, they still fell short of buying an entire sectâs survival.
âHaha.â True to expectation, Jiangâs gaze narrowed in thought, and with a slight smile, he calmly raised a single finger.
At this, Star Hu and the other two elders paled, their expressions hardening, and their fists clenched, as a surge of aura pulsed around them.
Jiangâs message was clear: he wanted yet another treasure of comparable value before he would agree to leave.
This was a demand without compromise.
But the Starry Celestial Sect was now like fish on a chopping block, waiting to be carved up.
No matter how unwilling they felt, could they really gamble their entire foundation and throw away a millennia-old legacy?
Material treasures could always be recovered in time, but if the sect were scattered or destroyed, how could they ever rebuild?
âElder Star HuââŹÂŚâ Star Scourge and Star Fall murmured nervously, fearing that their elder might act rashly and endanger the entire sect.
Star Hu took a deep breath, gestured for them to remain calm, and finally made his decision.
After a brief hesitation, he drew out another treasure, veiled in a shimmering aura of celestial light.
The third treasure was a tridentââŹâa weapon of formidable might, about the length of an arm, glowing with a deep, mysterious starlight.
The tridentâs appearance caused ripples of energy to pulse through the air, filling the space with an imposing sharpness.
âA pseudo-celestial weapon!â someone exclaimed.
âWhat a lavish offering!â âWho would have thought Star Hu possessed such a weapon!â The leaders of various factions and Celestial Immortals were stunned.
While not entirely unheard of, pseudo-celestial weapons were still exceedingly rare.
True Celestial weapons were limited, near-mythical items in the celestial domain, only available to those with rare fortune.
In contrast, pseudo-celestial weapons represented the highest caliber of weapons that modern celestial craftsmen could create.
Even among Celestial Immortals, many still relied on lesser tools, merely augmenting their abilities with celestial energy but lacking any real power within the weapons themselves.
Against a true Celestial weapon, such as Jiang Chengxuanâs Tai Chu Water and Fire Sword, they would be rendered useless.
Given this, the pseudo-celestial tridentâs value was undeniable.
Crafting such a weapon required the combined expertise of multiple Celestial Immortal-level artisans and the incorporation of rare materials.
In terms of worth, it was easily comparable to the otherworldly treasures.
âThis celestial weapon is rare indeed; I need not say moreââŹÂŚâ Star Hu spoke with renewed confidence, holding the trident as he cast Jiang a sidelong glance, regaining some of his composure.
In his mind, Star Hu couldnât help but feel a tinge of satisfaction.
This trident had been a reliable weapon that had aided him in several victories against powerful foes.
If not for Jiangâs own enigmatic techniques, which had rendered him unable to wield the trident effectively, Star Hu believed his defeat would not have come so quickly.
However, unlike the shocked reactions of those around him, Jiang Chengxuan remained calm and indifferent.
Without so much as a hint of approval, he slowly shook his head, stating, âThis weapon does not measure up to the other two.â Star Huâs eyes widened in shock, and he frowned in frustration.
Many of the observing immortals exchanged baffled glances, struggling to understand.
After all, by anyoneâs estimation, this pseudo-celestial weapon was no lesser than the first two treasures.
For many Celestial Immortals, if given a choice to keep only two of the three treasures, they would have forgone the Primal Spirit Tree.
Did Jiangâs dismissal imply he was scheming for something greater?
âSir, youâre being unreasonable!â Star Scourge snapped, stepping forward with a scowl.
âThis weapon is a pseudo-celestial artifact!â Star Fall added sharply.
âIts value is evident to all.â âSuch a baseless rejection is beyond absurd!â Many of the watching immortals shared their sentiment, believing Jiang had ulterior motives.
Jiangâs expression, however, remained unchanged.
He said nothing.
Instead, he extended his hand into the void, and in the next instant, a brilliant light burst forth, engulfing the entire sky.
In Jiangâs grasp appeared a sword, its hilt entwined with crimson and azure dragons.
The swordâs presence reverberated through the air, generating a soft, calming hum.
The immense energy radiating from it held a profound, otherworldly power, suppressing all nearby energies.
The pseudo-celestial trident quivered, emitting a faint, mournful sound as if it were a lone boat caught in a tempest.
Its sharp, unyielding aura quickly retreated, leaving it subdued before Jiangâs weapon.
âHissââŹâ!â All who witnessed this scene gasped, their faces etched with disbelief as they stared at Jiangâs weapon.
âThisââŹÂŚ is this a true Celestial weapon?â âImpossible!
True Celestial artifacts havenât surfaced in the domain for tens of thousands of years!â The crowd was left in stunned silence, with their gazes locked on the sword.
The weaponâs mere presence was enough to make them shiver.
