Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5676 Starry Sky Sword Intent

Unfortunately, the extraction was too minimal, only increasing his divine power by a few hundredfold.

….

This slight augmentation of power, once appealing to him, now paled in comparison to the skeletal remains of Dong Jun in his possession.

After once again utilizing his Sword Qi to slaughter dozens of flower demons, Jian Wushuang prepared to depart.

However, in the next moment, the ground began to tremble, and an immense aura emanated from above.

Furrowing his brow, Jian Wushuang recognized this aura as likely coming from the Flower Demon King.

It was the aura of a Four Tribulation realm expert.

Though the opponent was a scattered Tribulation Realm cultivator, such powerful individuals at the Quadruple Tribulation Realm didn’t consume much energy.

Moreover, with this natural Daoist ground, even significant energy consumption could be quickly replenished.

This adversary was formidable.

No wonder even when a Four Tribulation realm expert came before, they couldn’t gain any advantage.

However, he didn’t want to have any conflict with the opponent.

It was best to leave as soon as possible.

The entrance to the fourth layer was right in front of him; Jian Wushuang leaped forward and entered the cave directly.

A large group of flower demons missed their target, then rushed towards the entrance of the fourth level.

But at that moment, a voice echoed from the sky.

“Let him go!”

It was an absolute command from the Flower Demon King.

Even though those flower demons had become extremely violent due to devouring the divine power of cultivators, they calmed down.

Descending from the sky, the Flower Demon King was accompanied by a thousand blooming flowers.

Upon reaching the ground and sensing the residual power of the Starry Sky, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

“A Starry Sky expert?”

“It seems like I have to accelerate my plan!”

After dispersing those flower demons, the Flower Demon King returned to the sixth level of the Hundred Flowers Mountain.

As for her plan, it was indeed related to Jian Wushuang.

It wouldn’t be accurate to say it was related to Jian Wushuang alone, but rather to all the Tribulation Realm cultivators on the Ancient Wood Continent.

The Saint Gathering Sacred Assembly of the Ancient Wood Sect would convene soon.

The four major positions, as well as the position of the Holy Maiden, were about to be decided. Everyone was keeping an eye on it. Now, Flower Demon King once again perceived the significance of the positions, considering the countless formidable experts in the Starry Sky.

She decided it was better not to stir up trouble unnecessarily. However, Jian Wushuang will not have an easy time leaving today.

Upon reaching the fourth layer, Jian Wushuang found it remarkably easy. He no longer concealed his figure, instead unleashing his divine power and breaking through with all his might. Along the way, although there were flower demons of the Two Tribulation realm, none hindered him. This surprised Jian Wushuang, but it was for the best.

After leaving the fourth layer, he directly tore through the space of Hundred Flowers Mountain and departed from there through the chaos of spacetime. When he reappeared, he was already at the boundary capital of the outside world.

“Finally out!” Jian Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, then reverted to his original appearance, suppressing his strength to the level of an ordinary Two Tribulation realm expert, with his aura completely divine.

At the same time, as Jian Wushuang appeared, a group of mysterious girls happened to pass by.

Jian Wushuang recognized them, but now he had changed his appearance and aura, so they didn’t recognize him.

Among the luxurious entourage, the mysterious girl sensed the aura of an Emperor but paid no attention.

“Miss, this person is a steward of the Qingyun Sect!” The old man in green naturally saw Jian Wushuang and recognized his identity from his robes.

The mysterious girl said indifferently, “No need to bother, let’s return to the royal capital first!”

“Yes!”

The group ignored Jian Wushuang and left directly.

Only after they were gone did Jian Wushuang begin to move.

“It seems that he’s a genius from some family in the royal capital. I just wonder who?” Jian Wushuang didn’t inform Wu Li of this matter.

The Emperor possessed the strength of a Two Tribulation realm, indicating that the opponent’s identity wasn’t ordinary.

It was best not to provoke them.

It’s better to cooperate honestly with Wu Li and plan for the Wanliu Divine Tree together!

It would take at least three hours to travel from the border province to the capital.

Of course, if Jian Wushuang were at his peak, he could make it in the time it takes to burn an incense stick, but it wasn’t necessary.

It was only noon now; the banquet would be in the evening.

There were still several hours left.

And it had taken less than three hours to pick the Hundred Flowers Vine.

The first withering period happened to coincide with Elder Muchen’s banquet, and it would be a good opportunity to offer it then.

As long as he could establish a strong relationship with Elder Mochen, he would be able to infiltrate the core.

Then he would qualify to visit the Ancient Wood Sect.

Otherwise, as someone like him, a nameless and powerful individual, even with Wu Li’s recommendation, it would be very troublesome to enter the Ancient Wood Sect.

Even in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, one’s background was important.

That’s why he sought to attach himself to others.

Even if he had to hold his nose and take away the princess, he was willing to do it.

For the Qishen Temple, he had spared no expense this time.

He hadn’t taken Dong Jun’s bones in vain.

…

The capital of Yue Kingdom sat atop a relatively flat landmass, grand in its expanse.

It served as the nucleus of the kingdom, boasting a splendor surpassing even that of Qingyun City beneath the Qingyun Sect.

All thanks to the power of the Empress of Yue Kingdom.

She was a pinnacle figure of the Five Tribulation realm, rumored to be a superpower with hopes of successfully crossing the tribulation.

Moreover, within the royal family, there was a scattered ancestor at the Seven Tribulation realm.

Their heritage was no less than that of the Qingyun Sect.

Presently, the Qingyun Sect lacked formidable strength.

Its reputation in the Ancient Wood Continent had plummeted.

Not even a cosmic master at the Six Tribulation realm was present; only one at the Five Tribulation realm upheld its facade. Hence, Wu Li Zhong’s plan was to align himself with the royal family of Yue Kingdom rather than the upper echelons of the Qingyun Sect.

Upon entering the capital, he immediately contacted Wu Li.

As there was still some time left, the two found refuge in one of the Wu family’s mansions in the capital until nightfall, when they would head to Muchen’s Royal Palace.

Muchen, titled as the Wood King.

One of the eight kings of Yue Kingdom.

He was also the only Three Tribulation realm powerhouse among the eight kings, and moreover, he was a Universe Master.

His position within the royal family was lofty.

In the current era, only the Empress of Yue Kingdom surpassed him in strength.

Therefore, his grand celebration was bound to attract strong figures from all directions, with rumors even suggesting the Empress herself might attend.

Naturally, Wu Li accompanied him, being one of the ten major families’ ancestors and a good friend of Muchen.

His strength was even at the Half-Step Four Tribulation realm!

Jian Wushuang had heard some things about Wu Li later on; this old guy kept a low profile but had quite a reputation in Yue Kingdom.

Otherwise, the Wu family wouldn’t have stood firm among the ten major families.

“Brother Wushuang, you’ve gone to too much trouble this time. You’ve actually brought the Hundred Flowers Vine. It seems freshly picked!” Wu Li scrutinized the Hundred Flowers Vine in the wooden box with fervent eyes.

Originally, he had also prepared a gift for Muchen’s birthday, but it seemed unnecessary now.

Jian Wushuang casually poured himself some tea, savoring it delicately, and replied calmly, “It’s nothing much. Without putting in some effort, the other party may not truly value me!”

Although his strength was decent, under Muchen’s banner, there were still many top-notch retainers and disciples.

After returning the wooden box containing the Hundred Flowers Vine to Jian Wushuang, Wu Li couldn’t help but marvel at Jian Wushuang’s strength.

To obtain such a top-tier Hundred Flowers Vine, one had to go at least to the fifth layer.

Those flower demons were not weak in strength.

Even if he were to go, if luck wasn’t on his side, he wouldn’t obtain such a treasure.

Moreover, he would have to time the picking precisely, then return swiftly.
