Chapter 5827: Joining
Everything was laid out; now they just awaited the word from Tamu King.
“Hehe, you youngsters are quite straightforward, which fits my taste!” Tamu King rocked his hefty body and stood up.
As he spoke, his bloodthirsty mouth gaped wide open.
A few strands of flesh whiskers hung from the corners of his mouth.
“Speak up, what treasures do you want to exchange!”
With a wave of his large hand, the savage beasts that had surrounded them all sat down.
Jian Wushuang’s face lit up, and he said, “Great King of the River, I want…”
He directly listed a long string of treasure names, expressing his great demands.
And these treasures were all within this mountain range.
Although the primordial stones were precious, there were only tens of thousands of them, clearly not enough for exchange.
After hearing this, the King of the River burst into laughter!
“You’re quite greedy. With so few primordial stones, yet you want so many treasures. Do you have the guts to make this deal?”
At this point, Kababon was also a bit flustered. At first, he thought Jian Wushuang was quite savvy, but now, speaking to the king in such an arrogant manner, it was like asking a lion for its paw.
The other savage beasts also thought Jian Wushuang had gone mad.
Don’t they realize where they are?
Such exorbitant demands.
Aren’t they afraid of consequences?
Jian Wushuang squinted around, feeling quite nervous inside. After taking a deep breath, he continued, “Indeed, these primordial stones are not enough for exchange, but I truly need those treasures.”
He appeared genuinely troubled.
The King of the River, seeing this, understood Jian Wushuang’s intentions after a slight pondering.
A Special Life Form at the Sixth Tribulation wouldn’t be a fool.
After briefly sorting out Jian Wushuang’s background, he understood what he was seeking.
This mountain range was almost entirely controlled by the Weilong Mountain.
And the treasures Jian Wushuang needed were all within this mountain range.
Since there weren’t enough primordial stones for exchange, they could only join forces.
But this sentence must be spoken by the King of the River himself.
Jian Wushuang’s intentions were crystal clear as he spoke.
All he needed was a nod from the other party, and he could smoothly transition, making them allies.
With his divine power of 550,000 and Beast God bloodline, he only fell short compared to the savage beasts of the Fifth Tribulation realm within this mountain range.
Entering the Weilong Mountain was indeed a qualification he possessed.
But he lacked the proper credentials.
However, the primordial stone served as a decent token.
Upon understanding this, the River King couldn’t help but feel disdainful.
He had no use for these primordial stones.
For a Special Life Form of the Sixth Tribulation realm without its own constructed universe, why bother with these primordial stones when there were plenty of treasures to enhance divine power?
It all boiled down to one’s cultivation level.
But for this junior, Jian Wushuang, he had some expectations.
Bold, powerful, strategic.
He was indeed worth taking in.
With just a glance, he conveyed his intentions to Kababon, who escorted Jian Wushuang up the mountain.
Kababon’s heart leaped with joy as he stepped forward.
“If Brother Hu needs these treasures, and they happen to be in the vicinity of my Weilong Mountain, why not accompany us? Instead of enduring hardships along the way, you can settle in our Weilong Mountain, have a place to stay, and freely search for the treasures you need. What’s there not to like?”
Jian Wushuang initially revealed a hint of joy, but then his expression turned serious as he spoke, “I am weak in strength. I fear I may not catch the eye of the esteemed seniors. I think…”
“What’s there to ponder? With your strength, Brother Hu, even if you join our Weilong Mountain, is enough to serve as a guardian. I suggest you follow behind me and become the ninth guardian of Weilong Mountain. How about that?”
Kababon interrupted, scanning the other savage beasts before continuing, “Anyone
dissatisfied can come out and spar with Brother Hu, if you dare.”
Except for Tamu King and a few Law Kings, the remaining eight Guardians were all peak
Fourth Tribulations experts with divine power exceeding 500,000.
Jian Wushuang’s divine power reached 550,000, and he hadn’t even revealed his true form yet.
Naturally, these people were somewhat wary.
Even the Fourth Tribulations savage beasts who weren’t Guardians mostly had divine power in the 400,000 range.
Even if they revealed their true forms, it would be difficult for their divine power to soar to
500,000.
For a moment, no one dared to step forward.
Seeing no one speaking up, Kababon respectfully bowed towards Tamu King, who was sitting
at the head, and spoke, “Great King, I, Kababon, would like to recommend Brother Hu Biao. I
hope the Great King will accept!”
Jian Wushuang also bowed, indicating his agreement.
They had come here for this moment-to join the Weilong Mountain and establish a foothold.
Then they could proceed to search for Wu Li’s whereabouts under the guise of seeking
treasures.
At the same time, they could also await the Empress.
If the Empress returned, Jian Wushuang could leave without any loss.
Even these primordial stones could be presented as a gift to Tamu King.
The atmosphere in the hall quieted down. Tamu King swayed his bulky body, stroked his beard, and finally spoke, “I declare that today, Weilong Mountain shall add another
Guardian!”
As his voice fell, Jian Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the savage beasts in the hall looked at him with kind eyes.
Kababon, in particular, hugged Jian Wushuang’s shoulder, excitedly exclaiming, “Brother Hu, from now on, you’re one of us! Finally, I have someone younger than me. I’ll be the 8th, you’ll be the 9th. From now on, you’re Old Nine!”
“Thank you, Brother Kababon, for the recommendation!” Jian Wushuang said politely, then turned to Tamu King with solemnity, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for accepting me.” Tamu King waved his hand dismissively, saying, “Alright, by joining Weilong Mountain, you’ve added a great warrior to our ranks. I see the bloodline of a Beast God in you. Work hard and step into the Fifth Tribulation realm soon!”
That was quite a high appraisal.
Jian Wushuang seemed to have favorable impressions from everyone he encountered.
Whether it was Ruler Yun Zhi, Sword Immortal Tonghe, or any of the top Divine Craftsmen from the Ancient Wood Continent, they all had high hopes for him.
Even a Special Life Form held such expectations for him.
Although they were of different races, Jian Wushuang still felt a warmth in his heart.
During this period, he was just lodging temporarily, so it was best to avoid conflicts if
possible.
His joining caused a brief stir in Weilong Mountain.
That evening, a grand feast was held.
Fortunately, there were no humans around, or he wouldn’t have been able to enjoy it.
After the festivities, Kababon personally found him a cave dwelling, providing some stability.
Once the other party was seen off, Jian Wushuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Though the cave dwelling was somewhat rudimentary in its furnishings, it contained a considerable amount of divine power.
Just as he began to relax, Li Sheng hurriedly approached from outside the cave, saying, “My
lord, someone has come to pay their respects!”
Jian Wushuang was momentarily surprised. He had just seen off Kababon, and he didn’t know
many people here.
Who could be coming to pay their respects all of a sudden?
After quickly tidying up his appearance, Jian Wushuang stepped out.
“Lady Du!” Seeing the visitor, his expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank.
During the joining banquet, he had heard someone mention this Lady Du.
