"I didn't expect that such a magical treasure like the Mysterious Magnetic Mountain, exists in this universe."
Princess Gracie stared in awe, her cute lips slightly gaping. She rushed to see the treasure up close, shock written all over her face.
Austin also observed the mountain carefully.
Its appearance wasn't so striking. It was as dark as ink.
Austin continued to examine it with great attention, failing to find anything majestic or special about it.
He attempted to use his spiritual sense to pry its interior, but he couldn't find anything in the place where the Mysterious Magnetic Mountain was seen.
Austin wondered with shock, carefully formulating his deductions. The Mysterious Magnetic Mountain could only be seen with the naked eye, but could not be felt with the spiritual sense!
That was the only special characteristic that Austin attributed with the Mysterious Magnetic Mountain.
"What's so special about it? Why is it precious?
I hope you are wise enough not to fool me by presenting an ordinary object in exchange for your pathetic freedom!"
Austin spat in a harsh tone, facing the leader of the Star Island.
Judging from Princess Gracie's expression, however, Austin knew that this Mysterious Magnetic Mountain was extraordinary.
But Austin was too embarrassed to ask Princess Gracie, and instead opted to threaten the leader for answers.
'I fool you around? You are so blind in seeing such a valuable treasure!'
The leader of the Star Island cursed Austin in his heart.
He wished he could say it out loud but was too afraid to provoke the person who had the power to spare his life. There was no room for his pride in his plight.
"According to the last words left by our ancestor who owned this treasure, even great masters in the Immortal World yearn for the Mysterious Magnetic Mountain.
It is the most precious treasure of the Star Island.
This ancestor was skilled in the cultivation of martial arts, ranking at the level of Genuine Immortal Realm.
Think about it. Even a genuine immortal master thought of the Mysterious Magnetic Mountain so highly. That is how precious it is,"
the leader of the Star Island explained to Austin.
"Stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point.
What's its use? Show me! I demand to witness its preciousness.
Hurry up! I don't have too much patience. Don't push me to kill you!"
Austin impatiently shouted, his face already fuming with anger.
"It..."
For a while, the leader of the Star Island was caught between his words, not knowing what to say.
In truth, he didn't actually know the specific function of the Mysterious Magnetic Mountain. He only knew about its uniqueness, which was what he talked about so much in order to divert and catch Austin's attention.
The ancestor requested for his descendants to ensure that it was kept safely and handed down to the follow
so the core leaders of the Universal Allied Army.
After seeing the successful escape of the leader of the Star Island, they all wanted to be free.
None of them wanted to die here today.
They practiced hard for many years to finally gain what they had today. They enjoyed high status and had a good reputation in the universe.
"Really? You also want to negotiate with me?"
Austin faced his adversaries. Like the leader of the Star Island, they had a tensed relationship with Austin, but not so much for a bloody slaughter.
"Well... Then tell me what you can offer me."
Austin nodded, permitting them to speak.
The eyes of the cultivators glinted, a ray of hope for them to survive.
After the negotiations, they paid their price for their survival. They offered Austin the most precious treasure they had, with pains etching in their bodies and hearts. In exchange for these treasures, they were granted their freedom.
Different types of treasure piled up in front of Austin. All of them were some of the most valuable treasures in the universe.
These cultivators were well-known in various sects of the universe, a majority of them reaching the supreme grandmaster level. However, it took time for them to achieve their status.
All the treasures they had were priceless.
"Well done, brat!"
The supreme holy tree's eyes lit up with light of delight. It jumped to Austin and started to count the treasures in front of them, ecstasy blooming on its face. Anything it found to be of favorable use, it immediately transferred them into its Space Ring.
Austin knew clear just how greedy the supreme holy tree was. This tree would not even let go of a bird passing by unless a feather of the animal was pulled off.
So he joined the supreme holy tree and grabbed the treasures he wanted to claim for himself. He had to choose quickly, before all the precious treasures were taken by the supreme holy tree.
