Heavenly Opposers

"Oh?...okay"

The snake nodded his head, Xiao gave him an appreciative nod as he relayed the coordinates of the location he wished to travel to, he knew that the one in front of him was a straightforward person, since he passed his little test he was capable of asking for the gift he had prepared, soon a portal appeared beside Xiao, whose eyes twinkled on seeing it, looking at the primordial beast in front of him he asked,

"Aren't you curious about my secrets?"

"Nah.....I am long dead and this is just a consciousness, why should I care about anything? you are just intriguing that's all, in my eyes, you passed the small test I made to fill my boredom that's all"

The snake in front of him replied in his calm and soothing voice, listening to it Xiao gave him one last respectful nod before he passed through the portal, thankfully the test gave him the choice of returning to the starting point after having finished his purpose, the snake looked at Xiao as he passed by the portal, once he did it closed his eyes and then?.

Well, nothing special happened as it closed its eyes and started to rest, waiting to fulfill the promise it had made, a promise that had long since been lost within the sands of time. While Xiao once again felt the familiar spatial travel, soon appeared in a room, it was better apt to be called a box as the walls were brown and in the center of it stood an orb floating.

Seeing it excitement flashed through Xiao's eyes, he had finally got his hands on it, the one treasure that he desperately needs, though him getting its recognition is another thing, just as Xiao was about to walk forward the Orb started shaking as a voice was heard from it,

[I don't care how you got here but if you want me to take you as my master that would be impossible]

The voice was genderless but a hint of arrogance swept from it, Xiao wasn't at all surprised as he knew how arrogant the one in front of him was, this was a treasure that was within the top 10 of the cosmos ranking after all.

What were the cosmos ranging? well within the top of every realm floated a tablet, each for different ranking, some for physiques, some for eyes, and one for treasures, in the world of cultivation treasures are extremely hard to classify, there are different types of treasures that are spread across the cosmic plane.

Some from the ancient time, like the stones of the element, said that if one gathered all of them together, then the said person would rule over the elements, the mirror of time and death, which was broken into different fragments, the emblems of law, giving you command over the said law, the bangles of corruption and many more.

Each has its own overpowered use and unlike this, there's another treasure, one that is made, one example would be the pill that Xiao ate, which was heaven-defying on its own, but did anyone know about it? no, it was because the heavens tried to destroy it and the creator had placed a function to hide it.

Now how could there not be any other crazy person out there not creating another heaven-defying item? in fact, right now someone might be creating a heaven-defying thing, while no one knew of it and this is where the tablet of treasures comes into play, it was something that existed in the cosmos for a long time, different Era came and went but the tablet stood there, displaying all the treasure to the world.

It would keep updating itself in the world, displaying whatever new comes up, it had its own power level and criteria that evaluated a treasure's worth, if any treasure was used it would know of it and mark it, in fact when Xiao had unlocked the pill, it should have appeared in the table but due to him using the skill [Forgotten] the tablet was unable to find or know about it, otherwise, it would have definitely come onto the top 10, shaking the plane of reality.

And the treasure in front of Xiao is one ranked in the top 10, specifically the 10th rank but what makes it more special was the fact that it had been in the rank 10 spot since the beginning, during the time immemorial the ranking changed innumerable times but the ranking of number 10 never changed, it stood there fighting against the ravages of time.

This was more than enough to display its specialty but none of that mattered to Xiao, no what he liked was the treasure itself, its main function was one thing....information! any and every information in the plane of reality was known by it and one that Xiao learned was that having information is key.

Plus it had other functions in it too, it had the capability of seeing through others' secrets, giving the user of the treasure the information of his enemy, also it has the ability to see through a person's true nature, a powerful tool that will help Xiao in the future, the name of the treasure was [All-Seer].

A treasure that didn't even submit to the main Mc of the Heavenly Opposers, he even with all his treasure and powers was unable to make it surrender under him, it was just that hard but there was one way to make it surrender, hit it where it hurts to most. Xiao smirked as he straightened his back, looking at the orb in front of him he spoke,

"Humph! why should I need you when you wouldn't have the information I need?"

Disdain and sarcasm were dripping from Xiao's words, hearing it the orb got enraged, if there's one thing in the plane of reality it takes pride in, it would be its information, fuming its expressionless voice Gaines pitch,

[What did you say?]

"Huh?.....didn't you hear me? or are you deaf? maybe you are deaf and stupid, it seems to match nicely with your ugly look"

Xiao said with a sneer, and disgust filled his face as he made a revolting action, seemingly disgusted with the orb, making its anger reach its peak, it knew that Xiao was playing with it but it would never take disrespect on its information, plus it had spent most of its time here making its 'social' skill lacking, all it could do was tremble with anger,

[You!.....you]

"What you, you?...are you stupid too? maybe that's what had happened to you after staying here for long, humph and here I was thinking maybe you would be smart and have the information I want"

[I see....]

The orb spoke, its voice chilling, it was mart hence it knew what Xiao was leading towards but it couldn't help but fall into it, 'focusing' on Xiao it spoke,

[Good!....good, tell me what you want to know if I can't answer it I will take you as my master but if I can.....]

"If you can?"

[Then you must blow up your soul!]

Xiao took a deep breath when he heard the ruthless punishment, blowing up one soul is a banned punishment in the whole realms, in the cultivation world people believe in reincarnation but if someone blows up their soul, then it won't take place, it is a brutal thing, something even the cruelest or the maddest person won't do.

By doing so you would lose, everything, your chance in the world, forcing anyone to do so is the greatest taboo. Silence filled the room after the orb spoke, it might have felt angry but it didn't mean that it lost its mind, now it was just waiting for Xiao to back out, sadly this time it was dealing with a madman that didn't fear death,

"Sure"

[Huh?].
