Legend of Swordsman

5800 Sacred Assembly Arrives

Buzz!

The resounding sound of high-pitched horns filled the air!

On this day, powerful figures from all corners of Yue Kingdom gathered in the capital,

The Sacred Assembly!

Is upon us!

Led by the Empress herself, the entire Yue Kingdom, along with various factions, split into two camps.

One faction consisted of the royal family’s elites.

Naturally, they were loyal to the Empress.

Among them were Jian Wushuang and Wu Li, along with someone Wu Li had managed to

sway.

There were also some strong members from the royal family of Yue Kingdom.

The other faction comprised members of seven star sects.

Elder Muchen was among them.

The seven star sects, in fact, were an affiliated sect of the eight star sects.

Although it ostensibly belonged to the faction of the Ancient Wood Sect.

However, during the Sacred Assembly, they would assist the strong members of their own country while vying for favorable rankings.

Under normal circumstances, this might not have caused much conflict.

But this Sacred Assembly, the Empress was determined to make her mark,

Those who could participate in this Sacred Assembly were all superpowers within the same realm.

Four powerful individuals at the Emperor realm.

Two from the royal family.

Of course, Jian Wushuang and his wife were among them.

The other two came from the Qingyun Sect.

As for the Universe Masters, there were 24 in total.

Among them, only the Empress was at the level of the Fifth Tribulations.

She was the one who needed full assistance this time.

There were four Universe Masters at the Fourth Tribulation.

Two from the royal family, one from the Qingyun Sect, and the patriarch of the second most powerful family in Yue Kingdom, the “Li” family, personally joined the fray.

The remaining Universe Masters were all at the pinnacle of the Third Tribulation. They were strong individuals from various major clans and the two major forces. Today was the day they set out.

Jian Wushuang happened to leave the Nine Tribulations Tower on this very day.

Outside the imperial palace, with a cold voice resounding, all the strong individuals boarded the warships that had long been prepared.

“Set sail!”

The strong individuals participating in the Sacred Assembly boarded a separate warship.

On both sides of this warship were two larger ones.

Seated on these were some clan elders and prodigies among the Emperors.

When the Sacred Assembly began, there were often more spectators than participants.

Just like this time, there were tens of thousands of spectators .

But there were only a few dozen participants from Yue Kingdom,

After boarding the warship, Jian Wushuang, Elder Muchen, and Wu Li sat together at a table.

They chatted leisurely.

Princess Jinchen, unusually quiet, sat silently on the side.

Jian Wushuang knew what she was thinking.

It was nothing but thoughts about Shi Jiu.

This was their chance to meet.

Jian Wushuang had no interest in it at all.

Leaving Yue Kingdom today.

He might not come back.

By then, he and Wu Li would have to go into hiding.

Wu Li had already arranged the core members of the family before leaving.

Jian Wushuang had nothing weighing on his mind, just thinking about where to go next.

At the same time, he was also reminiscing about what happened inside the Nine Tribulations Tower.

After becoming Weiss’ disciple, he successfully entered the Nine Tribulations Tower for the second time.

Ile began challenging Weiss’ second avatar.

Unfortunately, he was no match at all. The gap was too wide, so he could only stay in the first level to cultivate.

Cultivating in the Nine Tribulations Tower was nothing special in itself.

The main thing was that practicing the secret techniques Weiss taught him went smoothly.

Only within the Nine Tribulations Tower could he cultivate the secret techniques Weiss

imparted.

Morcover, it had to be his true self who went to practice.

“The Utmost Freedom Intent. Technique!”

Jian Wushuang remembered Wei’s display of the Utmost Freedom Intent Technique and

couldn’t help but marvel at its power.

Cultivating it was extremely difficult.

He couldn’t even achieve the basics right now.

It was an extremely long process.

According to Weiss’ estimation, he needed to reach the Universe Master level to even begin,

Fortunately, he was powerful enough to wait.

As long as he could grasp the basics of the Utmost Freedom Intent Technique, he would

have a chance to pass the second level of the Nine Tribulations Tower.

Although cultivation was strenuous, its power was enough to make Jian Wushuang commit

to it.

Once he grasped the basics, his strength would skyrocket rapidly.

But for now, he couldn’t help himself,

It would take time to refine his skills.

On his way to the Ancient Wood Sect, Jian Wushuang did not engage in cultivation either.

In all aspects, he had reached the Emperor’s limit.

The Origin Source Starry Sky had already lit up countless black holes.

It was only a step away from condensing into a physical universe.

He also asked Weiss about the Origin Source Universe. According to Weiss, the countless black holes were already perfect.

Becoming the Universe Master didn’t pose any pressure at all.

But crossing the threshold into Tribulation Realm still required great effort. Becoming a Tribulation Realm cultivator was the key to mastering the universe.

What Jian Wushuang lacked now was the opportunity to enter the Tribulation Realm.

The Sacred Assembly was approaching unexpectedly.

Ilis time was running out.

In silence, Wu Li’s expression changed, and he transmitted his voice, “Jian Wushuang, do

you have something on your mind?”

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wu Li, only then realizing that it was a

transmission just now.

“Nothing much, the Sacred Assembly is about to begin, what could be on my mind!” Jian

Wushuang replied through voice transmission.

What was on his mind?!

Way too much.

But now wasn’t the time to think about that.

He couldn’t afford to dwell on trivial matters anymore.

He had to face reality squarely.

This time’s Sacred Assembly would have many Universe Masters in the Fifth Tribulation, all

much stronger than Jian Wushuang.

Preparation was essential,

Wu Li hadn’t yet informed him of the details of the plan; those needed discussion.

But this wasn’t the place for it.

The two could only hold off on discussing and talk with Elder Muchen about the Sacred

Assembly with a smile on their faces.

The purpose of this Sacred Assembly was clear.

It was to select the Holy Maiden candidate.

Their task was to assist Fengchen, the Empress, in becoming the Iloly Maiden candidate.

Once they became candidates, the rest was out of their hands.

That would be the time for Jian Wushuang and Wu Li to execute their plan.

The Saintess of the Ancient Wood Sect needed to resonate with the Wanliu Divine Tree.

No one could help the Empress with that.

In the Sixteen Kingdoms and some hidden forces in the Ancient Wood Continent, there were at least hundreds of Universe Masters in the Fifth Tribulation.

But there were fewer than a hundred contenders for the position of Holy Maiden. Among these hundred, there were only a few fully-fledged Universe Masters in the Fifth

Tribulation.

And there were only four positions for candidates.

Four candidates.

To compete for the position of Holy Maiden.

This would be the final battle.

It didn’t concern Jian Wushuang and the others much.

But by seizing this opportunity to sneak into the Wanliu, the stakes became higher.

Not only would it disrupt the Sacred Assembly, but it would also offend various forces.

Yet, these were all minor matters.

The real terror would come after they entered.

Being besieged by countless powerful individuals wouldn’t just be about plundering

treasures.

They would also investigate how they managed to enter the Wanliu.

That was the most crucial aspect.

Wu Li had said that having the power of Life would allow them to enter.

At that time, he was somewhat incredulous, but now it seemed truly unbelievable.

Certainly, some unique method was needed.

He wasn’t aware of this, but Wu Li was.

He just couldn’t ask.

He could also tell that Wu Li wasn’t simple.

Fortunately, during this period, his strength had skyrocketed, and even if Wu Li was only

half a step into the Fourth Tribulation, he was no match for Jian Wushuang.

He wasn’t afraid of any tricks the other party might pull.

Ile was only afraid that after being used up by the other party, the other would enter the

Wanliu.

That was what he had to worry about.
