Entering the Outer Domain, Qin Hao's figure rapidly flew among the floating rocks, quickly arriving at the floating rock where the Human Race gathering point was located.
"Star has returned!"
"It's been over ten thousand years, Star, you've finally returned!"
As soon as Qin Hao landed, he attracted the attention of a group of Human Race powerhouses, who quickly gathered around him. The first time Qin Hao entered the Universe Sea, he ventured into the Collapsing Peak World, and this disappearance lasted for ten thousand years. The Human Race's internal powerhouses were quite worried.
Qin Hao's strength was immense, but it was his first time venturing out, and he was doing so alone. Moreover, he was heading into the Collapsing Peak World's Inner Domain. One should know that even Great Axe Founder was extremely cautious when entering the Inner Domain, returning after only a thousand years of venturing inside.
As everyone gathered, a figure appeared from the divine palace in the center of the gathering point, walking towards Qin Hao's direction. With this person's appearance, the other Universe Lords also stepped aside.
"City Lord!" they respectfully called out to Primordial Chaos City Lord.
"Teacher!" Qin Hao was surprised to see Primordial Chaos City Lord, but he also respectfully spoke.
Primordial Chaos City Lord had not been a Universe Strongest for long and should still be in a period of consolidation. The fact that he appeared in the Universe Sea now left Qin Hao a bit puzzled.
"You've finally returned. How is the situation in the Inner Domain?" Ignoring the doubt in Qin Hao's eyes, Primordial Chaos City Lord spoke directly. Having become a Universe Strongest and stabilized his cultivation for nearly ten thousand years, Primordial Chaos City Lord had already initially mastered his power. What he lacked now was the improvement of his secret method.
Entering the Universe Sea was also for the purpose of further refining his secret method. After all, in the Primordial Universe, it was impossible to freely unleash True God-level power in actual combat.
"It's complex and very dangerous." Qin Hao began to recount some of his experiences in the Inner Domain, focusing more on the environment of the Inner Domain, the situations he encountered, precautions, and some introductions to the Wan Chong Lang Water Domain and the Ice Rock Flower World.
"This is a partial map I obtained from Yuan Ao Master. I have verified it and repaired a portion of it. It can be used by the powerhouses within the Human Race for exploration and understanding. However, the Inner Domain is too dangerous. Without the strength of a Universe Strongest and without a Supreme Treasure, do not venture there easily." With that, Qin Hao took out the partial map and handed it to Primordial Chaos City Lord.
The other Universe Lords looked at the partial map in Qin Hao's hand, their eyes filled with excitement. They had explored the Collapsing Peak World for many years, always cautiously, but their gains were very limited, and they dared not easily explore too far.
Now, with the partial map, although incomplete, it was enough for them to explore a larger area.
"There's one more thing that requires everyone's cooperation!" Qin Hao said, looking at the others.
"Star Palace Master, whatever you need our help with, just give the command!" The others said, their hearts filled with gratitude for Qin Hao, who had just contributed the partial map.
"I'm going to make a deal with everyone. I want to purchase the ores and materials in your hands, and I will repay you with refined Supreme Treasures later. At the same time, I will also use this Supreme Treasure as collateral. If I fail to repay, the Supreme Treasure will belong to the Human Race, and the Human Race will compensate with Supreme Treasure points."
With that, Qin Hao took out the Great Axe Supreme Treasure. The moment the Great Axe appeared, everyone's gaze was drawn to it. Even Primordial Chaos City Lord's attention was completely focused on the Great Axe, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes, but it quickly returned to clarity.
Primordial Chaos City Lord understood that Qin Hao's words now were actually a prelude to directly contributing the Great Axe Supreme Treasure to the Human Race. Furthermore, Qin Hao collecting materials for refining suggested that he had gained new insights into artifact refining.
And it was very likely that these insights were related to the Great Axe before them.
"Could it be that he's going to refine a Supreme Treasure?" A thought flashed through Primordial Chaos City Lord's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. Supreme Treasures themselves were rare, and almost no one had succeeded in refining one.
His disciple had talent in artifact refining and could refine Supreme Treasures, but the gap between a Supreme Treasure and a Supreme Treasure was enormous, not so easily crossed, or even impossible to cross.
Not to mention the Primordial Universe, the Supreme Treasures of the major forces in the Universe Sea were all obtained from various forbidden lands and secret realms. There had been no rumors of anyone being able to refine a Supreme Treasure.
"It's actually a Supreme Treasure!?"
"Our Human Race finally has a Supreme Treasure!"
The Human Race also had a significant complex regarding Supreme Treasures. The improvement brought by a Supreme Treasure was immense. Many forces in the Primordial Universe possessed Supreme Treasures, and the Human Race had always lacked one to deter other foreign races.
Although Great Axe Founder's strength was formidable, the gap in Supreme Treasures made it difficult for him to unleash even greater power. Now with this Supreme Treasure, Great Axe Founder's strength would undoubtedly advance further.
Everyone also saw that this Great Axe Supreme Treasure was extremely compatible with Great Axe Founder. Taking it out now, although not explicitly stated, it was already determined that it would be handed over to Great Axe Founder.
The talk of Human Race Supreme Treasure points as compensation was actually another form of transaction. The Human Race wouldn't lose out, they wouldn't lose out, and Qin Hao wouldn't lose out, achieving a win-win situation for multiple parties.
After all, they also understood that they had no chance of obtaining a Supreme Treasure, and even if they did, it would be difficult to keep it. Moreover, they knew that if they themselves had obtained a Supreme Treasure, they would not be as willing to hand it over to the Human Race as Qin Hao was.
"Good!" Thinking of this, everyone present agreed, one by one taking out a large amount of ores and materials from their world rings and handing them to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao also did not hesitate and directly collected them.
"Qin Hao, this Supreme Treasure will remain with the Human Race. I will also notify the Universe Lords within the Human Race and have the ores and materials you need brought from the Human Race's treasure vault to you." Primordial Chaos City Lord also spoke at this time. A Supreme Treasure was clearly not something that could be measured by the ores and materials before them.
Within the Human Race, there were many collections among the Human Race Universe Lords and the Great Alliance Universe Lords. Since Qin Hao needed them, Primordial Chaos City Lord directly made the decision to hand them all over to Qin Hao.
Even if Qin Hao couldn't refine a Supreme Treasure, there was no problem with Supreme Treasures. If he gained something this time and improved his artifact refining, refining top-tier Supreme Treasures or peak Supreme Treasures would be a huge improvement for the Human Race and would not be a loss.
"Thank you, Teacher!" Qin Hao respectfully said to Primordial Chaos City Lord. The materials he needed for this refining session were very complex, diverse in type, and required a large quantity. Each consumption was enormous.
