Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5669 Wanliu

According to Wu Li’s words, although the Ten Thousand Willow’s Divine Wood belongs to the Ancient Wood Sect, the other party cannot activate the divine tree.

....
This jade sword is probably the key to activating the divine tree.

Wu Li’s words were obscure, but Jian Wushuang wasn’t foolish.

He could make connections.

However, why would such an important matter be told to him, an outsider?

Thinking this, Jian Wushuang had already begun to ponder the other party’s intentions.

Wu Li also noticed his doubts and hurriedly explained, “Dao Friend, you are not a native of the Ancient Wood Continent, so you probably don’t know that although the Divine Tree belongs to the Ancient Wood Sect, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a disciple of the Ancient Wood Sect to activate it!”

Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang was somewhat surprised.

“The Ten Thousand Willow is also known as the Wanliu Divine Tree. In the Eternal Wood Era on the Ancient Wood Continent, there appeared a master of Eternal Wood. He was also a powerhouse at the Six Tribulation realm who used a sword. He once used a three-foot wooden sword to activate the Wanliu Divine Tree, taking away a great opportunity from it, and achieved the strength of a Seven Tribulation realm powerhouse. In the later stage, he soared to the sky, becoming a Half-STep Eight Tribulation realm powerhouse!”

Originally a Six Tribulation realm powerhouse, it didn’t sound like there were many breakthroughs.

But how many Six Tribulation realm powerhouses could actually become a Seven Tribulation realm powerhouse, let alone reaching the Half-Step Eight Tribulation realm?

Even if they failed the tribulation, they could become wandering cultivators.

Unfortunately, like Qishen, the other party also held a determination to die, unwilling to become wandering Tribulation powerhouses even if they died.

Activate the divine tree.

Jian Wushuang took a sharp breath, extremely excited.

If this could be activated, his tribulation opportunity would come.

Not only could it help him break through, but he might also quickly become a super powerhouse in the Tribulation Realm.

Seeing Jian Wushuang’s eager expression, Wu Li seized the opportunity and continued, “Dao Friend, do you know where that master of Eternal Wood came from?”

“I don’t know!” Jian Wushuang naturally didn’t know.

Wu Li answered, “The Eternal Wood Master is from the Yue Kingdom, and the current Sword Mound is where he passed away!”

When the Eternal Wood Master failed the tribulation and had only one breath left, he returned to his homeland and passed away on a bitter mountain.

Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang was also very shocked!

Doesn’t this mean that Wu Li inherited the legacy of the Eternal Wood Master?

A Half-Step Eight Tribulation realm legacy.

That was a power comparable to the Qishen Temple!

Wu Li discerned Jian Wushuang’s thoughts and shook his head with a bitter smile. “Unfortunately, the Eternal Wood Master only left behind this jade sword, disappearing without leaving a trace of bones!”

Thinking about it, if Wu Li could have obtained the other party’s inheritance, he wouldn’t just be at the Three Tribulation realm like he is now.

Even a pig could become a Five Tribulation realm powerhouse.

Having heard so much, Jian Wushuang probably understood the other party’s intentions.

It seemed like they wanted to cooperate with him!

He wanted to activate the Wanliu Divine Tree.

Not to mention becoming a powerhouse like the Eternal Wood Master, at least there would be no problem for Wu Li to advance further.

Jian Wushuang could tell that the other party was not just a Tribulation Realm powerhouse; they should have been suppressing their strength all along.

They weren’t confident about crossing the tribulation.

“I’ve said so much, I believe you should understand my intentions. Within the Wanliu Divine Tree lies the core inheritance and secrets of the Ancient Wood Continent. If you and I join forces and truly enter it, becoming the Eternal Wood Master and stepping into the Five Tribulation realm for a lifetime wouldn’t be difficult!”

As the Eternal Wood Master, being at the Half-Step Eight Tribulation realm indeed made one a renowned figure.

Throughout the Ancient Wood Continent, there was only one Eight Tribulation realm powerhouse, and they were a scattered and wandering Tribulation powerhouse, the ancestor of the Ancient Wood Sect.

Having lived for who knows how many years, they never appeared.

The former Eternal Wood Master was practically invincible in the Ancient Wood Continent.

If one could successfully cross the tribulation, they would probably be the only true Eighth Tribulation realm powerhouse in the Ancient Wood Continent.

Although the Ancient Moon Spacetime was one of the Nine Cores, true Eight Tribulation realms were still rare, with most being Eighth Tribulation realm powerhouses who had failed their tribulation.

This temptation was too great.

The other party was clearly using the matter of the Eternal Wood Master to tempt him.

But right now, he was indeed falling for it.

If he wanted to quickly enhance his strength, currently, there was only this one path.

He entered the Ancient Moon Spacetime with the goal of becoming a super powerhouse within the Tribulation Realm, returning to the Qishen Temple to deal with the True Monarchs of the Original Universe, and Mie Sheng.

Mie Sheng was his number one enemy.

Only one of them could survive.

He had a premonition that even if he continued hiding in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, Mie Sheng would eventually come looking for him.

The other party had been laying out plans since the Moro Spacetime; they wouldn’t just give up like this.

In order to break through, he could only rapidly improve his strength.

Before the fall of the Qishen Temple, he needed to deal with Mie Sheng.

Mie Sheng was a Half-Step Seven Tribulation realm powerhouse, requiring at least the strength of Six Tribulation realm to return.

But even in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, it was extremely difficult to become a Six Tribulation realm expert.

Any Emperor, even a Five Tribulations realm powerhouse, couldn’t guarantee becoming a Six Tribulation realm expert.

Jian Wushuang, even with confidence, didn’t have enough time to slowly advance.

Now was an excellent opportunity.

It could allow him to rapidly break through.

Although he didn’t know what secrets lay within the Wanliu Divine Tree, or what opportunities he could obtain.

But as long as he could improve quickly, he wanted to give it a try.

This time, luck was on his side. He hadn’t expected to encounter such a thing just after crossing over.

If it weren’t for Wu Li’s greed, he probably wouldn’t have told him, and might even have killed him to seize the treasures.

Fortunately, his strength was enough to deter the other party.

Otherwise, a bitter battle would be inevitable.

Wu Li was the Universe Master. If he returned to his own Dao Arena, Jian Wushuang would have no way to deal with him.

Conversely, if Wu Li left his Dao Arena, Jian Wushuang would have no way to deal with him.

So the two could be frank with each other.

Only in this way could they cooperate and win together.

“Cooperate!” Jian Wushuang pondered for a moment.

Although he was moved, he couldn’t blindly trust the other’s words.

Wu Li also understood the gravity of the situation and had a plan in mind long ago.

He revealed all the arrangements he had made.

“Although my position in the Qingyun Sect is not top-notch, it’s still high-ranking. Moreover, I have a mistress in the Ancient Wood Sect. Her strength may not be as good as mine, but her background is strong. She’s the elder sister of the contemporary Holy Maiden of the Ancient Wood Sect. As long as you enter the Qingyun Sect and become a core member, you’ll be able to participate in Saint Gathering of the Ancient Wood Continent, and then you’ll have the chance to encounter the Wanliu Divine Tree!”

The meaning was simple: he would first enter Qingyun Sect and then, leveraging its background, plan for future participation in the Saint Gathering.

Then, during the Saint Gathering, discreetly, he would enter and activate the Divine Wood.

It sounded simple enough.

But in reality, it was far from easy.

The crux was that he was currently only an Emperor.

Yet, the other party mistook him for a Triubulation Realm expert.

Seeing the other’s sincerity, Jian Wushuang spoke frankly, revealing his true status as merely an Emperor.
