Legend of Swordsman

5780 No Need To Work Too Hard

It’s just something that couldn’t be said.

Even if said, no one would believe it.

An emperor, along with a Universe Master at the brink of the Fourth Tribulation, attempting to unlock the Wanliu.

That’s just absurd.

Thinking everyone is like the former Divine Wood King.

Although helping the Empress seize the position of the Holy Maiden was just a facade.

But taking advantage of this opportunity, Jian Wushuang also wanted to understand more about some of the strong individuals during the Sacred Assembly.

It is rumored that the venue for the Sacred Assembly is an independent space.

And Wanyan is within it.

If he and Wu Li open the Wanliu, and are besieged, the first to discover them would be those strong individuals attending the Sacred Assembly.

All of them are Universe Masters.

Although there are emperors among them, their role in the Sacred Assembly is minimal. Just an auxiliary role.

In terms of combat power, it’s still those Universe Masters.

He learned this from Tonghe Sword Immortal.

Just the strong contenders for the position of the fighting Holy Maiden from the Shi Kingdom participating in the Sacred Assembly this time, there are three.

All of them are Universe Masters at the Fifth Tribulation.

Jian Wushuang was secretly surprised upon hearing this!

And these are just the female Universe Masters.

If they can gather three Fifth Tribulation Universe Masters, then within the power of the entire Shi Kingdom, there must be at least a dozen Fifth Tribulation Universe Masters.

In the entire Yue Kingdom, there’s only one Empress.

The disparity is beyond comprehension.

Two of the three Universe Masters are at their peak, while the other one is in consummation.

All of them are outstanding contenders in the qualification battle for the Holy Maiden position this time.

Belonging to several of the top contenders to win the Holy Maiden position.

Although Empress Fengchen is also among them, her background is inadequate.

And she has too few helpers.

There probably won’t be many Universe Masters worth mentioning.

Moreover, the Sacred Assembly will result in casualties.

Each Sacred Assembly claims a large number of strong individuals.

If victorious, there will naturally be many benefits.

The Holy Maiden will settle in the Ancient Wood Faction, bringing along her trusted strong individuals.

If Empress Fengchen became a candidate, then Jian Wushuang and those like Wu Li would not only gain resources and treasures within the Sacred Assembly.

They would also bask in the glory of Empress Fengchen and become the core of the Ancient Wood Sect.

There would be even more treasures.

That’s why there were so many strong individuals swarming around.

The benefits of the holy gathering were plentiful.

The glory of the Ancient Wood Continent, was now just a fig leaf.

Every year, some strong individuals would emerge during the Sacred Assembly and be recruited by the Ancient Wood Sect.

Just like Queen Yun Zhi, who had once practiced in the Ancient Wood Sect with Empress Fengchen.

Although they eventually returned to their own factions.

Externally, however, they represented the Ancient Wood Sect.

When Sword Immortal Tonghe mentioned the holy gathering, there was some envy in his

tonc.

He wasn’t from the Ancient Wood Continent, so he wasn’t qualified to participate.

“Jian Wushuang, with your strength, I believe you can influence some of the battles. When the time comes, don’t go overboard, prioritize your own interests. That Empress from your country, her ambitions are not to be underestimated!” Tonghe’s words were heavy.

Jian Wushuang just nodded, without replying.

Ile didn’t know whether that empress was ambitious or not, but prioritizing his own interests was definitely not a problem.

He wouldn’t foolishly devote himself to the empress.

He would do his best, that’s all.

The most important thing was the opportunity within Wanliu.

Ile didn’t care much for the opportunities in the holy gathering.

They weren’t very helpful.

Right now, he wasn’t actually lacking treasures, he lacked opportunities for inheritance.

And some rare treasures.

In the past, he used to worry that he didn’t have enough treasures.

But now!

His Origin Source enhancement was almost complete.

With pieces on the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard, he could devour them at will.

And after becoming the Universe Master, he could even devour those with titles.

In a short period, he wasn’t lacking in Origin Source treasures.

If he needed more, he’d just buy them. After all, in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, where divine power reigns supreme, Origin Source treasures were quite inexpensive.

As for divine power.

He was even less in need of it.

With the skeleton of Dong Jun.

Initially just sensing its aura, he could significantly increase his divine power.

Later, with the help of the power of blood-red, after swallowing all the surface aura, his

divine power reached 400,000.

After becoming the Universe Master, he would devour the entire skeleton.

Not to mention, before reaching the seventh tribulation realm, he didn’t lack treasures to

increase his divine power.

At present, he had a clue about the sword blanks he lacked.

Ile could sort it out before the Sacred Assembly.

Externally, he was already saturated.

The only thing lacking was time for cultivation.

Since arriving in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, it had only been over 10,000 years.

In this short time, he hadn’t had the chance to cultivate at all.

If it weren’t for the recent huge breakthrough in divine power.

His strength hadn’t changed much.

Before the Sacred Assembly, he didn’t have much time for cultivation.

Even with time acceleration, there wasn’t enough time to cultivate anything significant.

Unconsciously, the crystal ball on the table had only a trace of white left.

Signifying that dawn was approaching outside.

But Jian Wushuang still hadn’t seen Lian Xing’s figure.

Just when he thought the other party wouldn’t come, a sound came from outside.

Then, all the strong figures in the hall fell silent.

Whether it was the Universe Master of the Sixth Tribulation or the Scattered Tribulation

strongmen of the Seventh Tribulation realm, they all showed a respectful look and looked

towards the outside of the hall.

A big shot was descending!

A simple, rustic-looking elderly man with a healthy complexion strolled into the hall, a smile

gracing his face.

Upon entering the grand hall, he couldn’t help but mutter, “Finally made it!”

With these words, many sycophants hurriedly chimed in, “It’s an honor for us to have Senior

Lian Xing grace us with his presence!”

The newcomer was indeed Lian Xing.

The reason for his tardiness was actually because of Jian Wushuang.

Just these past few days, he had made a trip during the day to gather the necessary materials.

The rest would be available at this auction.

Although he had the qualifications for direct exchange, it wasn’t necessary.

Even at the auction, no one dared to vie with him.

Lian Xing casually strode to the forefront throne and took his seat.

As he sat down, the crystal ball on the table completely lost its white luster.

The auction was about to begin.

But at that moment, another person descended outside the hall.

The newcomer’s aura was very weak.

Compared to the strong ones inside the hall, it was like that of a baby.

Although the aura was weak, the disturbance caused upon entering the hall was not

insignificant.

“Tan Tianfeng!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes twitched.

He thought Fan Tianfeng had already left.

He didn’t expect her to show up at this auction.

Upon seeing the first young master of the Shi Kingdom, the expressions of the crowd

changed.

She was the strongest descendant of the Shi Kingdom in the Ancient Wood Continent, at

the Eighth Tribulation.

Moreover, she was the most valued descendant.

She would become the master of the Flame Kingdom in the future.

Fan Tianfeng’s status was much higher than those prodigies of the Shi Kingdom’s royal

family.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have such prestige. With just a letter, she could prompt Lian Xing

to assist Jian Wushuang in refining the sword.

On the high platform in the grand hall, the phantom of a woman in red appeared.

Seeing Fan Tianfeng, her brow furrowed.

She too was a descendant or successor of the Flame God.

But compared to Fan Tianfeng, her status was much lower.

Although there weren’t many successors of the Flame God, there was still a significant

difference.
