New Chapter: Mysterious Supreme Treasure Appears

In outer space, Qing Mu had already arrived with Zheng Yunhai and the people from a special materials laboratory.

An experimental module officially detached from the spacecraft and flew into the distance. Both Zheng Yunhai and the people in the special materials laboratory were very excited, as they had never seen such a rare material before.

It should be noted that in the past three years, almost all the gods and Transcendent Immortals have fallen to the mortal world. The various laboratories are not lacking in strange objects, but none of them have ever been able to withstand such high temperatures.

"Here we go!"

More than three hundred laser beams focused on a single point, and the short sword, which looked full of cracks and resembled bronze, finally began to melt further.

"Thank goodness, it's finally melting. If it can't be melted, we might as well send it to another star system and bombard it with the Energy Beam of the Star Annihilator."

Inside the spaceship, a young researcher was spouting unrealistic ideas. Now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He had been nearly driven mad by the incomprehensible ancient weapon he had ever seen.

In their laboratory, there were more than a dozen so-called top-tier flying swords on display, all of which had their components analyzed, but this broken sword was powerless against them.

The bright red molten metal flowed down; it was definitely not bronze. It was accompanied by patterns, flowing with ethereal light, and revealing an astonishing and bizarre landscape.

Suddenly, the experimental chamber exploded, all the equipment disintegrated into countless fragments, and then turned into cosmic dust.

Wang Xuan's pupils contracted, and his heart tightened with tension. He didn't want the thing inside the short sword to disappear. He believed it couldn't be destroyed, but he feared it might fly into the dark depths of the universe.

Fortunately, the thing was still there. Part of the sword had melted away, revealing a metal of a different color, with some colorful and ethereal light swirling around it. But as it gradually cooled, it returned to its ancient and simple appearance.

A surge of excitement welled up in Wang Xuan's heart; he was incredibly thrilled. There truly was more to this short sword than met the eye, and the truth was about to be revealed.

His heart was racing because he felt it might be related to the treasure!

"Outrageous! The chamber actually exploded! I want to see what you are and what your components are after you've been completely extracted." The lab staff refused to believe it and released another experimental chamber to begin preparations.

This sword was originally made by Olesha, the leader of the New Arts. He dug it out from the Superstar. At that time, it was Silver-white Long Sword about one meter long.

As a result, although the silver divine sword was excellent, it was still cracked by Chen Yongjie's Black Longsword, and eventually a cyan short sword was separated from it.

It has now been confirmed that there is something inside the dagger, but it is no longer a sword.

The second laser beam focused instantly, unleashing a surge of massive energy and reaching temperatures exceeding limits. The outer blue metal was melted and dripped down.

An object wrapped in colorful patterns appeared inside—a metal strip about the length of a thumb, mysterious and terrifying, swirling with patterns and exuding an unparalleled sharp aura. Silently, the experimental chamber disintegrated, dissipated, and evaporated.

Everyone was stunned, their hair stood on end. After the demise of the extraordinary, even the flying swords of Transcendent Immortals could no longer ring out, and no sword light soared into the sky. This metal bar was actually chiming softly, distorting space and time, making the area blurry and constantly collapsing.

Only when the area finally fell silent, and all the celestial light and wonders disappeared, did it lose its dangerous aura and become dim.

Wang Xuan contacted Qing Mu and asked him to tell the people in the lab to suspend operations.

Then, he sent the Mechanical Xiao out of the cabin to retrieve the strange object.

"It's a treasure. It feels very comfortable to touch. I really want to melt it into my active metal body. However, I also feel awe and fear towards it."

Wang Xuan took it and examined it carefully. It was a "long spear," but it was far too tiny, about the length of a thumb, slender and exquisite.

"Celestial Spear?"

It has colorful markings covering its entire body. Wang Xuan recognized it at a glance as a seal, which had been slightly broken open.

The tip of the spear has no colored markings, but is formed by intertwined silver and gold patterns, corresponding to the colors of the banners of the Body Slaying Banner and the God Slaying Banner.

"Could this be the Dao Control Banner's Flagpole?" This thought arose in his mind. Although his first impression was of a tiny "spear", upon closer inspection, it was perfectly reasonable to regard it as a flagpole!

I searched for him a thousand times, and suddenly, when I turned around, what I was looking for was right beside me, hidden in a short sword.

In the past, Wang Xuan's gaze was always focused on the Body Slaying Banner, the God Slaying Banner, and the Iron Stake. He never expected that something he craved was hidden inside the sword, which had nothing to do with the flags.

"I need to thank Shang Yi. If he hadn't used the treasure Ascension Banner to Broken Sword and cause the sword body to crack, this thing might have been missed, and it would never have appeared in this Mythological Era." Wang Xuan said with emotion.

From that day onward, the hidden flagpole began to revive on its own, slowly breaking the seal.

As you can see, the colored seal pattern begins to fade from the top of the flagpole—the spearhead—where it is torn apart by the sharp energy, and the spearhead is now fully exposed.

"Qing Mu, ask them to do me a favor and shine a laser beam on this strange object again." Wang Xuan contacted Qing Mu and then sent the flagpole out.

He wasn't trying to tear open the seal with a laser, but rather to activate the treasure, allowing it to vibrate on its own, break through the external "colorful coat," and truly break free.

Soon after, the people on the other spaceship were stunned. The thumb-sized strange object, which was focused by hundreds of lasers, was not burned red and could not be harmed until it spontaneously revived, creating a miraculous scene.

In an instant, it swelled up and transformed into a real cold weapon, more than a man's length, its spearhead tearing through the Cosmic Void!

There, space collapsed, time twisted, and various ancient scenes appeared. In that very ancient time, it seemed as if Transcendent Immortals had crossed this starry sky.

With a bang, the "colorful clothes" on the flagpole shattered and fell off due to the vibration of the treasure itself, finally revealing its true appearance.

When spacetime no longer distorts and collapses, and the cold universe returns to silence, the weapon that was in the original place shrinks, returns to its ancient form, and becomes the length of a thumb.

The Mechanical Xiao quickly moved and brought it back, placing it in Wang Xuan's palm. It was heavy and had an indescribable artistic beauty, now covered with interwoven silver and gold patterns.

Wang Xuan was certain that this was the supreme divine object that had suddenly revived three years ago and then quickly disappeared!

"No wonder the Dao Control Banner is considered the number one treasure. It makes perfect sense. The flagpole alone is a complete treasure. If you add the flag itself, it becomes even more unimaginable." He smiled broadly.

Three years ago, the mere sight of the flagpole made the Carefree Boat tremble. In the Vanished era of civilization, the spearheads had most likely caused the Flying Boat great losses.

"Perhaps, that civilization originally intended to forge a supreme treasure spear, and in the end, it also forged a flag, combining them to form the Dao Control Banner."

Wang Xuan even suspected that the flag might be related to the First Killing Array — the Imperial Dao Array.

Because the two names are too similar.

"Where is the flag? Could it be the formation diagram of the Imperial Dao Array Formation?" Wang Xuan wondered wildly. The Fusion and Unity of the two supreme treasures would surely give birth to unparalleled power.

But now he's not in a hurry. With the flagpole in his hand, he can block any treasure. He no longer needs to worry about not having anything to defend himself.

The biggest problem now is that he needs to find a way to penetrate the Earthly Branch of his destiny and unleash Supernatural Power.

In the end, Wang Xuan apologized and, with his powerful Mental Power, used hypnosis and other methods to rewrite the relevant memories of the laboratory staff, including Master Zheng Yunhai.

Qing Mu was in charge of finishing up the work.

Wang Xuan and the Mechanical Xiao returned to their Old Earth ahead of schedule, resuming their manor on the outskirts of Ancheng.

He spent the whole day studying the thumb-length flagpole, how the spearhead could pierce through anything, leaving a hole in everything it touched, making it virtually indestructible.

"The World-Crossing Sword, the Carefree Boat, and the Ascension Banner —if we meet again, I'll show you who truly reigns supreme in terms of weaponry!" Wang Xuan murmured.

He tried it; even the Chaos Stone he retrieved from the Planar Crevice, made of the same material as the Divine Palace, could be scratched by the tip of his spear.

This is quite terrifying and awe-inspiring. His current Earth Immortal Dao Fruit is still in the Misty Sea and has not yet emerged, yet he has already achieved this. It is entirely because the flagpole itself is too terrifying.

Wang Xuan naturally retrieved the God Slaying Banner, the Iron Stake, and other items, and fiddled with these broken artifacts in front of the actual flagpole. Unfortunately, there was not a single clue to be found regarding the Dao Control Banner.

"Alright, one should be content."

He took out his once Peerless Exotic Treasure — the Primordial Spirit Chain. In this era, the silver chain had become ordinary and had also become smaller.

If you wrap it around your wrist, it's similar to a men's bracelet. Now, apart from being sturdy, it's difficult to unleash any supernatural power.

Wang Xuan used it to secure the tiny flagpole, wore it on his body, and covered it with his clothes.

"This isn't ordinary metal. Try absorbing it." Wang Xuan gave the Mechanical Xiao the metal lump formed from the melted cyan short sword.

Zhou Yun spent the entire day negotiating with his business partners in Old Earth, with a very full schedule. It wasn't until the evening that he reunited with Huang Ming and the others.

"We agreed last night that we'd call Zhou Qinghuang and Gu Mingxi from the zgz group over today. That should be fine, right?" a young man asked.

Huang Ming was helpless. He hadn't agreed yesterday, so he could only sigh and say, "I'll try again."

Kong Yun looked at him, displeased, thinking he shouldn't have done that. Who knew what kind of people those three young men were? He shouldn't have called his friends over.

Huang Ming naturally has his own bottom line. He doesn't want any unpleasant incidents to occur, and he doesn't want to harm his acquaintances and friends from behind the scenes.

Living in this era, there are some things he is tired of dealing with. For the past three years, he has seemed to be doing very well, being adept at handling all kinds of situations, but in reality, he is very mentally exhausted.

After losing his superhuman powers, the whole world he faced was different.

He stepped out of the private room and onto the outside, his finger lightly tracing the names in his phone's contact list, one after another, his finger lingering briefly on the name of Mo Si. He shook his head. Although Mo Si was diligently cultivating, he was no longer able to use Supernatural Abilities and Sorcery. Sending Mo Si over would not solve the problem and might even put Mo Si in a disadvantageous situation.

Then, Huang Ming's gaze fell on Qi Liandao's name, paused briefly, and then gave up. Now that he was married, he shouldn't disturb his peaceful life.

Huang Ming planned to find Qin Cheng. As a local of Ancheng, Qin Cheng had a good relationship with Zhou Yun. If there was any unpleasantness between Qin Cheng and the three men and one woman, he should be able to mediate.

But in the end, Huang Ming's finger involuntarily swiped to another name— Wang Xuan —and he couldn't resist dialing it directly.

It's been a long time; the owner of this number has been out of contact for three years. Although Huang Ming has visited the manor on the outskirts of Ancheng many times, he has never seen that person.

Tonight, he just randomly dialed the number without any hope.

"Huh?!" Suddenly, he no longer heard the notification tone that the phone was off; it was clearly on. In an instant, he felt his blood rushing faster.
