Legend of Swordsman

Initially, he thought that both of them would tacitly agree to first search for the Polunga Clan’s Holy Land.

Now, however, Gula felt his advantage was too significant; he didn’t even consider the Human Clan a threat.

Under his command, powerful individuals continuously slaughtered the Polunga Clan’s members, eliminating the Human Clan along with them.

Cooperating with the Polunga Clan would have been such a perfect arrangement.

But alas!

“Why didn’t you call me!” Wu Li complained as he woke up in the hot spring, causing the divine power to ripple and evaporate the water droplets on his body. He quickly put on some clothes and sat opposite Jian Wushuang, grabbing the drink on the table and taking a large gulp.

“Tell me, what’s on your mind!”

Wu Li cleared his throat and began to inquire about the plan discussed during the day.

He was actually more anxious than Jian Wushuang.

The treant within him felt the same.

Initially, they thought this Sacred Assembly would proceed like the previous ones.

But things started to change from the Roman River.

Encountering a Six Tribulation realm powerhouse was unexpected.

And it didn’t stop there.

Upon arriving at the Dragon God Continent, they encountered the first powerhouse of the Infinite Great World.

If they could quietly pass through the Dragon God Continent, it would have been acceptable.

However, the Ancient Wood Continent issued a collective mission, and its core conflicted directly with Gula.

Wu Li’s strength and trump cards were no longer sufficient.

Even now, at the Six Tribulation realm, they couldn’t shake the situation.

They had to rely on Jian Wushuang.

“My plan is simple: cultivate diligently and reach the Eighth Tribulation realm as soon as possible!” Jian Wushuang said as he gulped down strong liquor, sounding almost nonsensical.

The crucial part was that Wu Li actually believed him. He stared at Jian Wushuang earnestly and asked, “Are you planning to break through to the tribulation realm?”

Jian Wushuang was taken aback by the sincerity in Wu Li’s eyes, feeling a headache coming on.

“If you breakthrough now, there might be hope. But attempting to cross eight tribulations at once seems too risky. Why not aim for the Seventh Tribulation realm first? It’s safer!” Wu Li spoke as if it were all real.

He was almost convinced himself.

Jian Wushuang quickly interrupted him and explained, “Breaking through to the tribulation realm is not that easy. If it were, I would have done it already!”

However, he was certain of one thing: when he reached the Tribulation realm, crossing five Tribulations at once wouldn’t be a problem.

By then, he would have to find the others and return to the Qishen Temple together.

Reaching the Six Tribulation realm would be quite stable.

The condition was that after Fan Tianfeng returned, he could ascertain Mie Sheng’s strength.

He had digressed a bit.

Jian Wushuang shook his head to clear his mind and recounted everything about the Empress and Li Sheng to himself.

He asked Wu Li for ideas on how to deal with the situation.

“How about we run away?” Wu Li, now realizing the gravity of the situation, took the initiative to propose a method to enter Wanliu.

Jian Wushuang was pleasantly surprised by this unexpected suggestion.

Finally, he got some insight into entering Wanliu.

According to Wu Li, entering Wanliu required the life force, which was just one step.

More importantly, it required two cultivators to inject their Origin Source into Wanliu together, and both must possess Life force.

“How do you know there’s Life force in my Origin Source?” Jian Wushuang immediately grasped the key point and stood up.

This matter was too significant.

His Life force was an absolute secret in Ancient Moon Spacetime.

Even if the spacetime treasure was exposed, the matter of Life force couldn’t be disclosed.

Seeing his strong reaction, Wu Li quickly pulled him back to sit down and explained, “Don’t blame me for keeping it from you. Today, I’ll let you know something too. The elder treant within me is my teacher, you know that, but do you know his identity?”

“I don’t know!” Jian Wushuang shook his head, his ears perking up, waiting for Wu Li’s explanation.

Gulp!

At this moment, Wu Li calmed down. He took a sip of strong liquor to moisten his throat, then lowered his voice and said, “Remember when I mentioned the Lord of Hengmu?”

“Of course!” Jian Wushuang nodded.

It was because of one of Wu Li’s stories that he chose to cooperate with him.

His first entry point into Ancient Moon Spacetime was Wanliu.

Then, a series of events unfolded around Wanliu.

Entering Qingyun Gate to establish his identity, initially currying favor with Elder Muchen, then marrying in, and later going to the Shi Kingdom to refine the sword blank.

His strength was constantly skyrocketing.

Finally, he participated in the Sacred Assembly and came to the Infinite Great World.

Everything was laid out for Wanliu.

It was all because of a rumor that he dared to take such risks!

Wu Li was also deeply moved, so he chose to tell him some things.

“The treant is the Lord of Hengmu?” Jian Wushuang guessed what was happening and asked directly.

Wu Li nodded heavily and continued, “Moreover, my teacher almost reached the Eighth Tribulation realm back then!”

This was even more incredible than the rumors had suggested.

Moreover, the fact that the Lord of Hengmu was still alive was outrageous.

The rumors had claimed otherwise.

Through Wu Li’s explanations, he gradually understood.

Initially, the Lord of Hengmu, amidst the Wanliu Willows, obtained a treasure that could defy fate.

He had been cautious, never daring to reveal it, always suppressing his cultivation.

He feared being discovered.

But in the end, someone did find out.

The former Divine Wood King personally descended and severely injured the Lord of Hengmu, who was at the Half-Step Eighth Tribulation realm.

Later, the Lord of Hengmu faked his death and encountered Wu Li, who was still an ordinary mortal at the time, and took refuge within Wu Li’s body.

And thus, the Wu family of Yue Kingdom came to be.

Compared to their two schemes, the Lord of Hengmu had already begun his layout countless eons ago.

And they were merely pawns.

“How extraordinary is this treasure?” Jian Wushuang’s voice was also hushed.

In his heart, he pondered, could it be a spacetime treasure?

It was quite possible.

Take, for example, his Skysight Heavenly Chessboard.

The help it provided was almost boundless. Even at the level of Emperor, he didn’t need to cultivate. He could casually comprehend the Origin Source within those chess pieces, strengthen himself, and even devour those origins to enhance his own.

Honest introspection begged the question: if he were a bit more ordinary, just like an ordinary genius, could he reach the Half-Step Eighth Tribulation realm with the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard alone?

This possibility still depended on luck to some extent.

The first True King, who once possessed the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard, only reached the Half-Step Sixth Tribulation realm.

He was simply unlucky.

If it hadn’t been for Qishen and Mie Sheng preventing the destruction of the Moro Spacetime…

Perhaps!

The first True King could have ascended further.

But even so, there was still some gap compared to the Lord of Hengmu.

Half-Step Eight Tribulation realm.

Even when severely injured by Divine Wood King.

That treasure was also seized by Divine Wood King.

If it weren’t for Divine Wood King’s interference, perhaps the Lord of Hengmu could truly have become the Universe Master at the Eighth Tribulation realm.

Wu Li lowered his voice once again, cautiously saying, “I don’t know much about the specific function of this treasure, but my teacher once told me that it can bestow Origin Source upon Scattered Tribulations, prolong their lives, and amplify their divine power!”
