And after their astonishment, the lingering doubt on the elders' faces vanished like smoke and clouds.
This explanation was perfectly reasonable.
Though they had never heard of a Xiantian Remnant Treasure, since it was a flawed Xiantian object, it naturally could not be as precious as a true Spirit Treasure. And as long as their founding ancestor had possessed decent luck, it was indeed possible that he might have obtained one through a fortuitous coincidence.
Embedded within the formation and driven by the power of Restrictions, this treasure's might would naturally be no small matter. The opponent was only a cultivator at the early Tribulation Transcendence Stage; there was a great chance it could destroy him.
At that thought, the elders no longer felt uneasy. Though they could not be called fully confident, the fear and panic on their faces quietly disappeared.
And at that very moment, the voice of the old man with the air of an immortal sage once again entered their ears. "Junior brothers, this Ten Thousand Sword Map is our sect's ultimate trump-card treasure. Originally, only the Supreme Elder and the sect masters of each generation knew of it. This crisis is dire, so I have frankly informed everyone of this secret. I ask that all of you keep your mouths sealed. If anyone dares wag his tongue and leak it, he will be dealt with according to sect rules."
By the end, the old man's expression and tone had both turned stern.
A Xiantian Remnant Treasure could not compare to a true Spirit Treasure, but it was still precious to the extreme.
As the saying went, an ordinary man was innocent, but jade in his possession made him guilty. Even a colossal existence like Sword Lake Palace absolutely did not dare let the news leak
