Gods: Start with Goblins

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with swords and murderous intent. The two sides fought back and forth, and the fight was difficult to resolve.

However, as time went on, Elder Tianji's physical strength began to gradually decline.

After all, he was old and could not fight with several young elders of the sect for a long time.

Several elders from the sect became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and their attacks became more and more fierce.

When Elder Tianji saw that the situation was not good, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

He knew that if he persisted, he would probably die here.

So he began to look for an opportunity to escape.

He used his rich combat experience and keen insight to cleverly dodge the attacks of several sect elders.

At the same time, he also seized the weaknesses of several sect elders and launched a fierce counterattack.

Suddenly, the situation on the battlefield reversed. Elder Tianji gradually turned the tide of the battle with his own strength and wisdom. Several sect elders began to retreat step by step, and their morale was low.

However, just when Elder Tianji was about to win, an unexpected situation occurred. A sect elder suddenly displayed a mysterious martial art, and a powerful sword energy slashed towards Elder Tianji.

Elder Tianji was caught off guard and was hit by the sword energy. His body shook, blood spurted out of his mouth, and his body began to shake. He knew that he was injured.

When several sect elders saw that Elder Tianji was injured, they were overjoyed. They all used their unique skills to launch a final attack on Elder Tianji. For a moment, the battlefield was filled with sword energy and murderous intent.

Elder Tianji endured the pain, wielded the sword in his hand, and started a final fierce battle with several elders of the sect. However, due to his serious injuries, his strength was greatly reduced. In the end, he was subdued by several elders of the sect and fell to the ground.

"Humph! Old man Tianji, you finally lost to us!" An elder of the sect sneered, "Now, can you hand over the Shenzangtu?"

Elder Tianji was lying on the ground, spitting blood, his face as pale as paper. He stared at the elders in front of him with wide eyes, and said in a low and trembling voice: "You...you have no hope of getting the Shenzang Map!"

"Don't even think about it? Humph! Do you think you still have a choice?" The elder of another sect sneered, "Now, your life and death are in our hands. As long as you are willing to hand over the Shenzangtu, we may spare your life."

Elder Tianji felt a strong sense of humiliation and anger when he heard this. He clenched his fists tightly, digging his nails deep into his palms, as if trying to suppress the anger that was about to burst out. He knew that he might not be able to escape today.

However, just as several sect elders were preparing to force Elder Tianji to hand over the Shenzang Map, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out.

They attacked Elder Tianji, and the air was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere. The figures of several people flashed like ghosts, with fierce murderous intent, and approached Elder Tianji. Elder Tianji felt the power that erupted from several people. The power was surging, like a mountain torrent, which made him feel terrified. He knew that these guys were probably completely crazy for the Shenzangtu, and they didn't hesitate to attack him, Elder Tianji.

Elder Tianji's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He was not afraid of the siege from these sects, but he also knew that he was not necessarily a match for so many people. After all, two fists cannot beat four hands, not to mention that these people were the elites of various sects, and their strength should not be underestimated.

At this critical moment, Elder Tianji suddenly interrupted their attack. He took a deep breath and said in a low and firm voice: "Don't you just want the Shenzang Map? In fact, it's not impossible for me to draw it for you."

As soon as these words came out, the offensive of several people suddenly stagnated. They looked at each other, obviously not expecting Elder Tianji to agree so readily. One of the sect elders frowned and said, "Elder Tianji, are you serious? Are you really willing to give us the Shenzangtu?"

Elder Tianji snorted coldly, with a sly light flashing in his eyes: "Of course I am willing, but... you have to agree to one condition of mine."

"What are the conditions?" several people asked almost at the same time, their eyes full of expectation and greed.

"It's very simple. You have to let me leave here safely and don't attack me again." Elder Tianji said lightly, as if everything was under his control.

After hearing this, several people fell silent. They looked at each other, weighing the pros and cons of this condition. Finally, an elder of the sect said, "Okay, we promise you. As long as you give us the Shenzang painting, we will let you go."

Elder Tianji smiled slightly, but secretly sneered in his heart. He knew that these people must have never seen the real Shenzang map, otherwise they would not believe his words so easily. He planned to draw a fake Shenzang map for them, so that they would mistakenly think they had obtained the real treasure.

So, Elder Tianji began to draw. His technique was skillful and quick, and soon, a Shenzang map that looked like a real map appeared in his hands. He gently handed the map to a sect elder, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

The sect elder took the blueprint and examined it carefully, then looked at Elder Tianji with a frown: "Is this... is this really the Shenzang Map?"

Elder Tianji chuckled and said, "Of course it's true. Would I lie to you?" The others frowned, obviously surprised by Elder Tianji's decisiveness. But they soon realized what was happening, and couldn't help but secretly speculate in their hearts: Could it be that he had already thought of a way, so he made such a move here?

An elder of the sect could not help but ask, "Elder Tianji, why did you do this? Aren't you afraid that after we obtain the Shenzangtu, our strength will increase greatly and pose a threat to you?"

Elder Tianji smiled faintly upon hearing this: "Threat? Why should I, Elder Tianji, fear threats? Besides, whether this map of the divine treasure is really useful depends on your luck. I am just doing you a favor and giving you the opportunity to explore the unknown treasure."

After saying that, Elder Tianji disappeared from everyone's sight like a ghost, leaving only a few elders standing there in a daze, holding the fake Shenzang map tightly in their hands, their hearts full of doubts and confusion.

However, Elder Tianji did not really leave. He hid in a secluded corner, secretly observing the actions of several sect elders. When he saw that they were ecstatic because they got the fake Shenzang map and even started to discuss how to distribute the treasure, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He knew that these people would never know that the map of the God's Treasure in their hands was actually just a carefully designed scam. The real map of the God's Treasure had long been hidden by him in a place unknown to anyone. He, the elder Tianji, had never been a person who could be manipulated by others. This time, he just used a small trick to easily resolve the crisis.

After discussing for a while, several sect elders decided to set out immediately to look for the treasure in the Shenzangtu. They left the place excitedly, not knowing that they had been manipulated by Elder Tianji.

Elder Tianji stood there quietly, watching their backs gradually disappear from sight. His eyes flashed with a deep light, as if he had seen the astonishment and regret of these people when they discovered the truth one day in the future. He smiled gently, then turned and left, disappearing into the vast mountains and forests.

"Maybe the kidney picture you gave us is fake. Who will we go to for justice then? You definitely won't help us solve the problem!" An elder of the sect spoke with some dissatisfaction and doubt in his voice. His eyes were fixed on Elder Tianji, as if he wanted to find some slight flaws in the other's face.

Elder Tianji heard this and smiled faintly, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart. These people were really unreasonable. How could he give them a fake Shenzangtu? However, he also understood their concerns. After all, Shenzangtu was an inestimable treasure for any sect, enough to make anyone crazy.

"Don't worry, we are all in this together. Since you have said that, I will definitely help you, right?" Elder Tianji's words were soothing and sincere. His eyes swept over everyone present, trying to make them believe him.

However, despite Elder Tianji's sincere words, the elders present were still skeptical. They looked at each other and secretly speculated on Elder Tianji's intentions. After all, the temptation of the Shenzang Map was too great, so they had to be cautious.

"Elder Tianji, are you serious about what you said?" A sect elder couldn't help but ask, with a hint of temptation and uneasiness in his voice.

"Of course I'm serious. When has Elder Tianji ever broken his word?" Elder Tianji chuckled, his tone full of confidence. He knew that his reputation still had a certain weight among these sect elders.

As Elder Tianji finished speaking, the elders of the sects present looked at each other, as if they were silently exchanging opinions. In the end, they decided to trust Elder Tianji once, after all, they had no better choice.

Under the gazes of the crowd, Elder Tianji slowly unfolded a yellowed blueprint, on which were densely drawn all kinds of strange symbols and patterns. This was the legendary Shenzang Map, which contained endless treasures and secrets, enough to drive anyone crazy.

Elder Tianji's fingers gently slid across the blueprint, as if he was showing everyone the secrets. His eyes flashed with a deep light, as if he had seen the surprise and ecstasy of these people when they found the treasure with the help of the Shenzang map one day in the future.

“This is the map of the divine treasure. You must keep it well and never disclose it to outsiders.” Elder Tianji’s voice was low and serious. His eyes swept over everyone present one by one, as if he wanted to engrave this sentence deeply in their hearts.

Looking at the Shenzang Map in their hands, several sect elders finally showed satisfied smiles on their faces. They looked at each other, as if celebrating this hard-won victory. The Shenzang Map finally fell into their hands, which meant that they would have the opportunity to explore the endless treasures and secrets.

"Thank you, Elder Tianji!" A sect elder couldn't help but express his gratitude, his voice filled with excitement and sincerity.

"You're welcome. We are all fighting for the common good." Elder Tianji chuckled, his tone full of indifference and ease. He knew that this deal was fair to both parties, and he also expected these people to find their own treasures with the help of the Divine Treasure Map.

With the delivery of the Shenzang Map, the turmoil finally came to an end. After receiving the Shenzang Map, several sect elders could not wait to leave this place and prepare to start their treasure hunt. Elder Tianji stood quietly in place, watching their backs gradually disappear from his sight, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart.

He knew that the appearance of the Shenzang Map would trigger an unprecedented treasure-hunting craze, and this craze would also change the entire pattern of the cultivation world. He looked forward to future changes, and also looked forward to these people being able to find their own opportunities and fortunes with the help of the Shenzang Map.

After this storm, Elder Tianji also started his own plan. He did not relax his vigilance because of the delivery of the Shenzang Map, but instead observed the developments in the cultivation world more carefully. He knew that the appearance of the Shenzang Map was just the beginning, and the real challenges and opportunities were still waiting for him.

The elders who got the Shenzangtu began to make intensive preparations after leaving Elder Tianji. They knew that the appearance of the Shenzangtu meant that they would have the opportunity to become the best in the cultivation world, and they had to seize this opportunity, otherwise they would miss it.

Therefore, they began to gather the elite disciples in the sect and prepare to start their treasure hunt. They believed that under the guidance of the Shenzangtu, they would be able to find the endless treasures and secrets and become legends in the cultivation world.

However, what they don't know is what secrets and dangers are hidden behind the map. What they don't know even more is that when Elder Tianji handed over the map, he had already left a backup plan in it. This treasure hunt will be a journey full of unknowns and dangers, and they will also face unprecedented challenges and tests.

"Old man Tianji, you finally did a good thing, but we all heard that there is a piece missing from the divine map. Do you know the whereabouts of that piece?" An elder of the sect said with a bit of dissatisfaction and anxiety in his tone, his eyes fixed on Elder Tianji, as if he wanted to pry the secret of the missing piece out of him.

Elder Tianji smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. "You guys always have such beautiful dreams. But what's the use of telling you? You won't find it anyway." (End of this chapter)
