Although unable to advance in the later stages, treasures that could instantly boost one’s strength hundreds or thousands of times proved more attractive than the slow cultivation methods.

Especially for those Emperors with mediocre aptitude.

Deep in thought for a moment, Hu Qing, as if having made a decision, spoke, “If I take another step forward, regardless of how Zhen Ling advises, I will go out and explore!”

It was only then that Jian Wushuang remembered, Jiang Shang had already gone to the Temple of World Annihilation, and her status was very high.

If Broly was the first War God of the Temple of World Annihilation, then Jiang Shang was akin to a saintly figure.

Formidable strength was frightening. After so long, no one knew how powerful she had become.

Over half a millennium ago, when the Azure Dragon Temple Master fought Broly, he almost directly killed the opponent.

Later, Jiang Shang intervened, and the outcome was unknown, but it was known that Jiang Shang left with Broly unharmed.

The Azure Dragon Temple Lord, however, suffered considerable injuries.

This information was highly confidential, known to very few, and Jian Wushuang also learned of it from the White Tiger Temple Master.

To avoid affecting morale, it was not made public.

Currently, on the surface, the Qishen Temple held the advantage.

But in the long run, the Qishen Temple’s advantage would gradually weaken.

Jiang Shang’s strength now could be said to dominate the entire temporal river.

Even the Azure Dragon Temple Lord was not her match.

As long as Mie Sheng and Zhen Ling’s true selves didn’t come out, no one could contend with her.

The only hope lay in Hu Qing at the moment.

After understanding this point, Zhen Ling constantly deceived Hu Qing in the Grave God Mountain, fearing that once Hu Qing left the Qishen Temple, he would join the Temple of World Annihilation.

What was needed now was animosity.

The more people Jiang Shang killed outside, the better. This would drive a rift between Hu Qing and Jiang Shang.

Hu Qing didn’t understand this, but Jian Wushuang quickly grasped it after a brief contemplation.

Perhaps, the future challenges for Jiang Shang were not his own tribulations but rather the great tribulation for Hu Qing.

Thinking about this, Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic.

Hu Qing was really in a tough situation.

Jian Wushuang shook his head.

Seeing his expression, Hu Qing raised an eyebrow and asked, “Brother Wushuang, what are your plans this time?”

“Let’s first finish the Dao Merge!” Jian Wushuang said indifferently.

Now he wanted to focus all his thoughts on the Dao Merge. Once that succeeded, everything else would fall into place.

Hu Qing also nodded in agreement, saying, “It’s time for your Dao Merge. Your current strength is beyond my understanding. Once the Dao is integrated successfully, you will probably become the first-ranked Inheritor of the Grave God Mountain!”

Hu Qing didn’t have much preference for who would be the first, but he was genuinely happy that Jian Wushuang could achieve it, even if he snatched it away from him.

The relationship between the two could be described as a life-and-death bond, with Jian Wushuang having saved him countless times.

“Hu Qing, our focus can’t always be on the Grave God Mountain!” Jian Wushuang waved his hand. He had no interest in being the first-ranked Inheritor right now.

He continued, “You’ve always wanted to leave, right? After I successfully merge the Dao, let’s leave the Qishen Temple, my brother!”

Although he could resort to any means for strength, Hu Qing was still a reliable friend. Jian Wushuang couldn’t bear to see Hu Qing become a pawn of the Zhen Ling.

Upon hearing his words, Hu Qing revealed a delighted expression and said, “That’s exactly what I was thinking. When the time comes, let’s go out and experience the methods of the Temple of World Annihilation!”

Despite Hu Qing appearing reserved and benevolent on the surface, his inner spirit of combat was even stronger than Jian Wushuang.

“The Temple of World Annihilation is nothing!” Jian Wushuang shook his head, showing disdain. He continued, “Do you know how many temporal rivers there are in this Starry Sky, and how many formidable experts? Instead of staying here, why not go to other temporal rivers, elevate our strength to the peak, and then return to sweep away everything!”

He wasn’t boasting.

Once he was successful in the Dao Merge, as long as the Zhen Ling didn’t change his mind, he could open a passage to other temporal rivers.

If the targeted temporal river was similar to the Moro temporal river, his opportunities wouldn’t be worse than the current situation. Moreover, the improvement would be faster.

Then, after reaching the Tribulation Realm, he could return.

With his foundation, possessing the Temporal Treasures and the nearly restored Beast God Weapon, fighting against higher realms was not impossible.

Mie Sheng’s identity, no matter how mysterious, was useless.

In the face of absolute strength, everything was illusory.

“Go to other temporal rivers?” Hu Qing was stunned, then puzzled, “Starry Sky!”

“Yes! It’s the Starry Sky!” Jian Wushuang nodded.

It seemed that Hu Qing also knew about the Starry Sky. Indeed, the opponent’s strength was not only due to the events of the past life but more importantly because of the secrets held by the Starry Sky.

It appeared that every extraordinary individual had a connection with the Starry Sky.

“But how do we get there?” Hu Qing was also somewhat moved, or rather, had a certain concern.

Jian Wushuang pointed upwards and said, “The mighty Zhen Ling will open a passage for us!”

As he spoke, he intentionally raised his voice, and his tone was extremely respectful.

He didn’t know if Zhen Ling could see this place, but Zhen Ling could definitely hear their conversation.

Sure enough, not long after, someone from Zhen Ling was sent to summon Jian Wushuang.

Having discussed with Hu Qing for a while, he also laid out some plans for the future.

They would travel to other temporal rivers, strengthen themselves, and then return to the current temporal river.

The rest was left for Hu Qing to contemplate!

The one summoning Jian Wushuang was a guardian of the Grave God Mountain.

Jian Wushuang had encountered this person before.

There was no surprise!

The reason this Grave God Mountain had the word ‘Grave’ was because the great entity “Qishen” was buried here.

But thinking about the connection between Qishen and Mie Sheng, perhaps the word ‘great’ could be removed.

Following the guardian, Jian Wushuang directly reached the mountain’s summit.

There was a pavilion here.

Ancient characters were engraved above.

“Mourning Regret Pavilion!”

A profound and ancient power made Jian Wushuang’s entire body tremble involuntarily.

“Greetings, Lord Zhen Ling!” Jian Wushuang bowed slightly.

Lord Zhen Ling, standing in the Mourning Regret Pavilion, didn’t turn around, maintaining a cold demeanor. “Come in and have a seat.”

Jian Wushuang cautiously approached, while the guardian spirit, showing tact, had already left.

Lord Zhen Ling overlooked the Grave God Mountain, standing there!

He didn’t dare to sit down but positioned himself slightly behind, standing beside Lord Zhen Ling, both overlooking the Grave God Mountain.

“I have prepared all the treasures needed for the Dao Merge!” Lord Zhen Ling said indifferently.

Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but feel ecstatic. It was the first time he thought Lord Zhen Ling was so generous, having thoughtfully prepared all the necessary treasures for the Dao Merge.

However, upon second thought, something felt off. He feared being deceived by Lord Zhen Ling and hesitated to refuse.

“Don’t overthink it; I just don’t want you to fail in Dao Merge!” Lord Zhen Ling turned to glance at Jian Wushuang, feeling speechless deep down.

Honestly, was he really that stingy?
