Hearing Princess Xi's words, even Qiu Tu was montarily stunned despite his composure.
He looked up at the mirror in Princess Xi's hand.
The mirror looked about the size of a palm, its surface was exceptionally smooth and gleaming, with golden edges and handle ornately carved with exquisite patterns. At just a glance, it already looked extraordinary.
'Special Treasure?'
As he recited those words in his mind, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the definition of "Special Treasure."
According to the information provided by the World Origin, in the past several decades of Cataclysm, over a dozen "Special Treasures" were born in the Edge Region.
Although these "Special Treasures" are also Cataclysmic treasures and possess various strange abilities, they are still different from ordinary treasures in so ways.
But as for exactly how, the World Origin didn't provide more details. It simply let the "Challengers" figure it out themselves.
So Qiu Tu was actually quite curious: what kind of Cataclysmic treasure would count as a "Special Treasure"? Also, he wondered, with such sparse information on Special Treasures, how do you find and identify them?
Yet before he could figure all this out, Princess Xi had already told him she had obtained one?
This instantly aroused Qiu Tu's curiosity.
He couldn't help getting closer to Princess Xi, then pulling her hand and sitting on a chair, asking, "Special Treasure?"
"Xixi, how do you know it's a Special Treasure? And... when did you get it?"
Qiu Tu wasn't asking for no reason. Although the Heavenly God Trial displayed everyone's ranking in front of all Catastrophe beings in the four Edge Regions, it... never announced the ranking rules.
All the Catastrophe beings only knew that eighty-eight deities had "descended" to the Edge Region and seed to be undertaking so sort of trial, competing for sothing.
But... nobody knew what winning would get them, nobody knew what exactly was being tested, and nobody knew how to claim victory in this trial.
So, normally, Princess Xi shouldn't have known about the "Special Treasure" rule.
But upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Princess Xi just smiled. She reached out, pushed Qiu Tu down onto the chair, then gently sat on his lap.
She wiggled a bit, adjusted her posture slightly, and finally spoke, slowly saying, "Just a few hours ago. Chairman Tang, Kou Xuan, held a small eting."
"At the eting, Chairman Tang revealed to us so information about this Heavenly God Trial."
"Including the number of participants, their general Realm, and the rules of the Trial, etc."
Qiu Tu nodded slightly at these words. Suddenly, everything seed to piece together.
He wasn't angry at Tang Feifei for making decisions on her own. With the Heavenly God Trial stirring things up so much, every upper echelon in the four main regions must have noticed right away.
And with twenty-two factions, even more than the number of Sanctuaries. By comparison, Princess Xi and the Kou family were even more desirable partners.
So, even if his side withheld information, other powers would soon share it with them anyway.
In that case, it'd be better to do them a favor and make them even more loyal.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help glancing at the "Loyalty" indicator above Princess Xi's head.
72 points.
Compared to the last ti Qiu Tu saw her, it had risen by another 6 points. Qiu Tu guessed this was probably because he had cleanly dealt with Shen Yuzhou back then, and this ti Tang Feifei provided information about the Heavenly God Trial right away.
This was definitely good news.
After all, a Loyalty above 70 ant Princess Xi had taken a big step from trusted confidant to utterly loyal.
Not only was she more loyal to Qiu Tu, but she was also less likely to betray him.
Because, in a sense, their goals were beginning to align, and their interests were even more tightly bound together.
With these thoughts, Qiu Tu snapped back to reality. Then he looked at Princess Xi and said, "You've only explained how you knew about the Special Treasure, not how you got it."
Upon hearing this, Princess Xi smiled faintly and said, "The way I got this Special Treasure is simple."
"Because it was already in my hand."
When she said that, Qiu Tu was stunned at first, and then a look of realization appeared on his face. "Indeed, my thinking was too limited."
"The World Origin only marked the Special Treasures as being in the Edge Region."
"But... it never said that they were ownerless things."
"The four major Edge Regions have experienced Cataclysm Awakening for decades. Surely, several special Cataclysmic treasures have gradually erged."
"And the various factions must have dug up or developed quite a few Cataclysmic treasures. So of them could be Special Treasures."
Saying this, Qiu Tu reached out and took the mirror from Princess Xi's hand.
The mirror felt slightly heavy, as if it were made entirely out of gold. Yet its surface was exceptionally smooth.
At the sa ti, Princess Xi explained to Qiu Tu, "This mirror is called the Two Realm Mirror. It's a rather special treasure."
"Place it in front of you, and it won't show your appearance. Instead, it will show every place you've been over the past year."
"After choosing a region among them, it will project your image there."
"You can move through that area like an invisible person, observing. All other beings will be unable to detect you."
