Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5844: Mysterious Treant

Jinchen stood still, her eyes flickering. Her heart had died within her.

All that remained now was an empty shell. “You’re right!” She gave a brief smile to Jing Lian and then flew into the entrance of the blessed land, leaping into the sea of fire.

Shi San wanted to stop her but couldn’t make it in time.

All he could do was cover his face and say, “Ah, why bother!”

The flames inside the blessed land burned for a full stick of incense before finally disappearing completely.

Whale Shark King casually threw away the shattered treasures in his hand.

Meanwhile, the barrier at the core of the blessed land had already begun to crack.

This made his eyes shimmer.

He flew over.

But in the next moment, he was kicked into the ground by Jian Wushuang, who descended from the sky.

Jian Wushuang dared not linger because he could no longer sustain the super ancient transformation. Seizing the last breath of time, he flashed his figure.

Directly reestablishing the barrier.

Using his last breath, he directly broke through a hole in the cracked barrier.

The hole was small and weak.

And his figure directly transformed into a wisp of mist, entering the barrier at the last moment.

Whale Shark King, who had risen to his feet, saw Jian Wushuang go in and followed suit. However, he crashed into the barrier and couldn’t get in at all. “How is this possible!” He couldn’t understand. If Jian Wushuang could get in, why couldn’t he?

Furious, he continuously bombarded the barrier.

Whenever a small round hole appeared in the barrier, his attempt to enter was thwarted.

He simply couldn’t get in.

But he watched Jian Wushuang charge in.

He didn’t know that the barrier was actually alive.

More precisely, it was manipulated by someone.

Whoever the person inside wanted to let in, could enter.

Conversely, no one could break through.

Just now, with a million divine powers, only some cracks appeared in the barrier.

Even Tamu Wang at the Sixth Tribulation realm couldn’t break it.

And Tamu King did come this time.

Shi San entered in front of Jing Lian.

And Tamu King followed suit. “Haha, it seems I missed a good show!” Tamu King grinned at everyone.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

No matter how deeply Whale Shark King hid, he still lost completely this time.

Shi San and Jing Lian’s faces changed drastically. “The King of the Roman River!” The two of them were somewhat desperate this time.

All the misfortunes of the Shi Kingdom this time had fallen upon them.

A powerful expert of the Sixth Tribulations realm appeared.

Both of them knew it was over.

Just as they were preparing to escape.

Whale Shark King, however, transmitted a message: “Cooperate!”

A simple word gave them hope once again.

Escape was definitely impossible.

King Tamu stood at the exit; there was no way to flee.

But when he heard that the Whale Shark King wanted to cooperate.

So, the three of them joining forces had a chance against a Sixth Tribulation realm expert.

And this chance was significant.

The cunning Whale Shark King didn’t waste time trying to reconcile with Tamu King.

Because he knew best that reconciliation between them was impossible.

Once he reached the Fifth Tribulation realm, Tamu would kill him.

He could only cooperate with human cultivators and figure out another plan.

Four individuals, two factions.

Battle!

Commence!

The battles within the sanctuary ensued one after another.

While within the sanctuary’s core barrier, there was an unusual calm.

Upon Jian Wushuang’s entry, the state of extreme ancient transformation vanished.

His body relaxed, nearly stumbling.

Fortunately, someone caught him.

Looking up, he found himself supported by a treant covered in green leaves. “Who are you?” Jian Wushuang was greatly surprised.

Sensing the immense Life force emanating from the treant, he understood.

A warmth enveloped him.

It was the treant’s gift of Life force. “Wu Li is in seclusion; you shall wait here with me until he returns!” After helping Jian Wushuang regain his strength, the treant led him towards a cave ahead.

The outer gate of the cave was a cliff.

On the edge of the cliff stood a pavilion caught in the wind.

Jian Wushuang followed the treant into the pavilion.

Yet, he couldn’t shake off his puzzlement.

Glancing around, he noticed the spirits of grass and trees scattered around the walls outside the cave.

Seeing this, he was startled.

He thought he had returned to Qishen Temple. “Do you recognize them?” The treant handed Jian Wushuang a cup of tea and casually asked.

Jian Wushuang nodded, then picked up the teacup. The tea leaves floating on top looked remarkably similar to the treant.

Despite several attempts, he couldn’t bring himself to take a sip.

So, he spoke, “I’ve seen them before!”

He couldn’t sense the treant’s strength.

Thus, he lowered his status and asked again, “Senior, who are you?”

Since the other party knew Wu Li, it was highly likely that they were one of Wu Li’s hidden powers.

This tactic of hosting powerful beings within oneself was something Jian Wushuang had encountered several times.

The most recent one was Bai Junwang residing within him.

And now, there was another within him.

But this one claimed to be a god.

Jian Wushuang simply ignored them.

Because it was too uninteresting.

Seeing Wu Li possess such unique powers, Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but feel envious of the guidance it provided from deep within.

It seems the secret of entering Wanliu was brought up by this senior.

So, he didn’t need to introduce himself.

The other party might be even more familiar with him than Wu Li. “I am just a nobody. Even if I say my name, you wouldn’t recognize it. How about you tell me about yourself? You seem to be knowledgeable about the Spirits of Grass and Wood. Have you perhaps entered the Divine Tree of Wanliu?” The treant directly spoke straightforwardly. Although Jian Wushuang was somewhat surprised by the directness of the other party, he also liked this approach.

He calmly said the most impolite words.

This was the best way.

He didn’t feel any threat from the other party.

So, he honestly replied, “I have never been to Wanliu, but I have entered a certain secret realm. This secret realm is very mysterious. It is not in Ancient Moon Spacetime but in the distant downstream of the river of time. In that secret realm, there is a Forest of Eternal Secrets, and there are Spirits of Grass and Wood inside. However, I did not obtain them. I only encountered them once in an auction.”

He still remembered that time, the auction.

And it was said that the spirit of plants and trees was bought by Hu Qing and ended up in the hands of Jiang Shang.

And Jiang Shang later exploded in strength, surpassing Long Yi at one point.

His body also contained acquired Life force.

So, he had a deep impression of the Spirit of Grass and Wood. “The downstream of the river of time!” The treant sipped his tea delicately and said calmly, “That makes sense. Wanliu was brought up from the lower reaches of the river of time.

Passing through the downstream, perhaps there are some remnants.”

Actually, to be precise, it’s not the lower reaches.

It’s the middle reaches.

The Forest of Eternal Secrets was originally in the Moro Spacetime.

Hearing the treant’s words, Jian Wushuang thought of Mie Sheng again.

If the Forest of Myriad Treasures is related to Wanliu.

Then Mie Sheng must know.

He just didn’t understand why Mie Sheng insisted on targeting him!

Wanliu also possessed Life force, and it was even stronger than him.

It’s also innate Life force.

Wouldn’t it be better to devour Wanliu?

He suddenly remembered something.

When he first entered Ancient Moon Spacetime, he was intercepted by a Celestial Maiden.
