Qin Yuan thought that this man was quite cunning. Maybe what he said was true, there was a chance that he might attack him after he got the jewel. Apart from getting back the Sacred Tree Branch, he could also try out the jewel’s power.

Since its energy was empty, he thought longer, whether to accept his offer or not.

Shen Long just silently watched him silently, seeming to give him a chance to think.

After a moment of thought, he said, “I only have half of the branch and I think it’s still too much to exchange for the jewel, how about I give you half of what I have.”

“Nonsense!” Shen Mu suddenly shouted. “This jewel is rare and precious, it can continue to use for generations, how few of the Sacred Tree Branch can compare.”

“Those in need must pay more, that is the rule of commerce,” Qin Yuan replied without even glancing at Shen Mu, only looking at Shen Long who slightly furrowed his brows.

He replied, “how about two thirds?”

“No, you see, once I become an Immortal, I won’t need the jewel anymore either.”

Qin Yuan was telling the truth, he only needed to become a Primordial Beast to possess the strength of an Immortal. Everything is ready, just need a few more Karma Points to ask the System for help.

However, in Shen Mu’s eyes, he was clearly boasting. With a cold snort, he said, “What do you think the Immortal Realm is, even something like a Sacred Tree Branch only lets you feel a bit of the thrill of that realm.”

“Shut up!” Shen Long suddenly cut his words short before he could say more. His gaze seemed to intimidate Shen Mu, he covered his mouth directly.

“Okay!” He said to Qin Yuan, quite surprising the latter with how easily he agreed.

He couldn’t help but suspect, it was as if this man was about to accomplish something so he could ignore everything here.

Xi Nichang also looked suspicious. She looked at Shen Long with narrowed eyes, as if wanting to find out if there was anything mysterious about him.

All who had reached the peak of the Divine or Saint Path, in other words a Third Tier Epoch Giant had a chance of becoming an Immortal, not just an existence like the Moon Star King. If one already felt deeply connected to the Immortal Realm, becoming one was only a matter of process. Who knows whether Shen Long has reached that point.

Of course, if he did reach that point, handing over the Sacred Tree Branch for even a little was definitely not a good thing.

One extra Immortal means one extra person who can wipe out multiple civilizations, the danger of such an existence cannot be put into words.

“You better cancel this trade!” Xi Nichang said via telepathy.

Qin Yuan didn’t answer, secretly, he communicated with System.

“How much does it cost to make a fake Sacred Tree Branch, half the size of mine right now?” he asked.

One thing was clear, the System could help him do anything as long as he knew that. The problem is sometimes just because the price is too expensive.

(350,000 Karma Points!) System replied, which instantly made Qin Yuan’s eyes flash.

Even though he had a lot of Karma Points right now, what he needed was far more, so wasting 350,000 was enough to make him feel at a great loss.

He wondered if it was worth the jewel.

However, tricking someone like Shen Long might be quite interesting.

After a moment of thinking, Qin Yuan finally decided to go for it.

“Okay, give me one,” he told the System.

Ding!

(350,000 Karma Points used to make a clone of the Sacred Tree Branch!)

[Karma Points: 3,036,300]

Right after that, a Sacred Tree Branch appeared in his palm. It was the exact same as his except it was only half of it.

He observed it secretly only to find no difference in it at all, there was even the aura and energy of a genuine Sacred Tree Branch. Perhaps he would only discover its fake after using it to cultivate.

Shen Long’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw the branch while Xi Nichang said, “Are you crazy? Do you know the consequences?”

Qin Yuan did not answer, only signaled for her to be quiet. He said to Shen Long. “Let’s do it!”

Shen Long nodded, took another step forward and threw the jewel in his hand. He doesn’t seem afraid of being conned.

Of course, Qin Yuan did the same.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Soon the jewel landed in Qin Yuan’s hand and the branch landed in Shen Long’s hand. Both of them smiled faintly.

Shen Mu’s smile was even wider that his gums were showing, he looked like he was about to laugh.

Shen Long did not say anything. He only nodded lightly to Qin Yuan before taking a step into the sky.

As they got further away, Shen Mu said, “Brother Long, congratulations, I hope you don’t forget me when you become an Immortal in the future.”

“Don’t be happy too early, it’s still uncertain,” Shen Long replied, staring at the branch in his hand with eyes full of determination.

“Given that you’ve already experienced becoming an Immortal in your dreams, the success rate is over 70%. Plus with the help of the Goddess, I can’t think of any chance of you failing.” Shen Mu remained convinced.

He stared at the scene of the battle between the Moon Star King and the Giant Flame King.

“Hmph, I’m sure those arrogant people will be dumbfounded upon seeing you as an Immortal,” he said.

Although Shen Long tried to calm down, Shen Mu’s words made his spirits soar. He had to shake his head to calm himself down.

“Let’s meet the Goddess,” he said.

“What if he becomes an Immortal?” Xi Nichang immediately asked as Shen Long and Shen Mu disappeared from her sight. Her breathing seemed to become quicker, clearly irritated.

“Are you scared?” Qin Yuan looked at her with a mocking smile.

He took a step after saying that.

Xi Nichang hastily followed him. “If he becomes an Immortal and targets you, you can only hide in your artifact, and the others will also feel the effects.”

“So what?”

“You!” Xi Nichang looked like she wanted to cough up blood because of Qin Yuan’s expression.

At this time, Qin Yuan arrived in front of a city.

It’s not very big, surrounded by mountains. Half of the residents of this city were natives, they had the appearance of a human except that their skin was slightly green.

Qin Yuan couldn’t say that their appearance was ugly because of the color of their skin. No matter how he looked at them, he didn’t feel any sort of disgust. This was no different from seeing a human with tan, yellowish, or reddish skin. The beautiful can still cause desire.

Of course, he had no desire when he saw their women as most of them had very low cultivations, no different from people in the Lower Realms.

When he arrived, the city was in quite a state of panic.

The people from the other realms were busily storing their belongings, looking ready to leave with their ark parked on the outskirts of town.

The natives, on the other hand, looked confused. A lucky few get to go with the other realms, but more don’t.

Whoosh!

Qin Yuan took out his daughter as he stepped towards the city.

She originally lived in the Hidden Heaven but he transferred her body to his Spatial Artifact ever since he brought the Goddess of Ice and Xi Nichang to the Hidden Heaven.

As soon as she appeared, the first person she looked at was Xi Nichang.

The latter could clearly conclude that Qin Wuxin was Qin Yuan’s daughter, something that gave her a strange sensation.

Qin Wuxin did not stare at her for too long. Although she didn’t show any kind of hatred, she also didn’t greet her at all.

So far, she seemed to have become more indifferent towards Qin Yuan’s behavior, perhaps realizing that it was completely unstoppable.

Qin Yuan did not say anything. He made his observations the moment he arrived within the city.

His goal in this city is to move the natives. It was Luo Shen’s request that he had just received.

It wasn’t that they would be left there, after the matter was over, they would naturally be helped by some people, but Luo Shen probably wanted to take care of some of them personally.

Their condition indeed looked very concerned when Qin Yuan watched them closely.

Most of them were definitely not the type to want to die with their realm, but wanting to leave also didn’t know how. With their weak strength, navigating the vast Sacred Tree Realm was practically impossible. Hence, many of them ended up showing expressions of despair.

Qin Yuan thought how he would take them away, whether to move them directly with his strength or make some sort of announcement first.

In the end, he chose the latter so there was no panic.

Whoosh!

He randomly picked up an old man who was quite strong from the natives and said to him. “Gather everyone in this city who wants to go, I’ll take them!”
