Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5167 - 5167: A Storm Is Brewing

Inside the Chishui Palace.

Jian Wushuang and his companions’ arrival went unnoticed. At this moment, various Emperors continued to arrive at the grand hall with the Grand Yan Immortals.

“Elder Ancestor, the Emperor from the Great Dream Realm has brought some of the Grand Yan Immortals here,” a respectful Emperor from the Great Dream Clan reported.

“Good, bring these promising talents here first. Let the others figure out their own way to come. The distance from the Great Dream Realm isn’t too far. If they can’t even overcome this, there’s no need for them to enter the Qishen Temple,” the Great Dream Ancestor casually instructed.

He himself had brought all the elite Grand Yan Immortals of the Great l)ream

Clan, among whom were several prodigies ranked in the top thousand of the Universe Deity-Demon List.

As for the other Grand Yan Immortals, he had assisted those he could. The rest was up to them.

Inside the hall, the number of Emperors kept increasing. Soon, there were over a thousand Emperors, and the Grand Yan Immortals numbered over ten million.

Most of the Grand Yan Immortals present were at the Nine Revolutions or

Perfected Nine Revolutions level. Only a few were at the Six Revolutions. As for Three Revolutions, there were none.

“Everyone, I believe almost all of you have arrived,” said Chishui. He operated as a lone figure, devoid of a clan or influence. The unique life forms under his control within a certain mysterious realm were considered his subordinates.

Each of these Special Life Forms possessed a second-grade Dao. Their physical bodies were extremely robust, and their life levels were thousands of times greater than ordinary clans.

However, their cultivation was much more challenging. Only a few dozen of them could become Grand Yan Immortals, and among them, there were only two at the Perfected Nine Revolutions level.

A male and a female, these two Special Life Forms stood behind Chishui.

Their strengths both ranked within the top 1,000 of the Universe

Deity-Demon List. Combined with Chishui’s lack of a clan or influence, any treasures that were not particularly useful to him were given to these two subordinates.

They called themselves subordinates, but Chishui Wanderer always regarded them as his own children. “Master! We’re all here!”

“Chishui, you can begin.”

“l don’t have many Yan Immortals under my command. This time, I’ve brought them all,” he said.

The Emperors spoke up, their eagerness palpable.

After all the Yan Immortals had disappeared, Qishen Temple released a message, informing these Emperors that the trial of was about to commence.

As per the information, the trial had three steps.

The first step was the Great Selection of Yan Immortals!

Yan Immortals from across the universe had gathered in the affiliated worlds of Qishen Temple. They were the first batch to receive the inheritance, and the trial prepared for them by Qishen Temple was quite ruthless.

Only 10 percent of the Yan Immortals in each affiliated world could survive. The top 1,000 would proceed to the next round of the trial.

The rest would be sent back to their respective worlds, receiving the bestowal of the affiliated world’s source. What they received depended entirely on their ranking.

This was the first step of the trial. The second step would be the selection for Grand Yan Immortals.

The Emperors would be the last.

Crack!

The ancient and tranquil Qishen Temple gradually opened its doors!

“Now that we’re all here, let’s go in!’ After understanding the structure of Qishen Temple fairly well, these Emperors felt reassured and temporarily set aside their conflicts.’

“The Grand Yan Immortal enters the first passage, the Emperor enters the second!” echoed the voice of Chishui throughout the entire hall.

In the midst of confusion, numerous Grand Yan Immortals hurriedly entered the Qishen Temple.

“As you enter the Qishen Temple, be vigilant. This is an unprecedented opportunity. Seize it and strive to achieve the status of an Emperor!” Encouraging words resounded. As they had said, this opportunity was unparalleled. If not cherished properly, one might regret it for a lifetime.

Everyone answered in unison. Subsequently, they left the Chishui Hall, moved towards the void, and entered the Qishen Temple.

Inside the Eternal Tower,

Demon Lord Fengyu gazed fiercely at the outside world.

“Indeed, the passage for the Grand Yan Immortals opened first. It seems the Qishen Temple won’t allow us in until the Emperors from the other domains arrive,” remarked Emperor Fengyu in a cold voice.

“This is normal. The Qishen Temple was constructed by the ancient civilization’s mighty beings. It is a relic that sifts through potential inheritors.

The Yan Immortals and Grand Yan Immortals are merely trying their luck.

What is truly needed are powerful Emperors like us,” mused Zhen Wuyang. Their speculations were correct. In the eyes of Oishen Temple, only individuals could enter. That’s why they invited all the Yan Immortals into the temple. As for how many Grand Yan Immortals could come, Qishen Temple truly didn’t care. In their view, there was no difference between Yan Immortals and Grand Yan Immortals.

They were selecting the most outstanding among the exceptional, the paragons among paragons. As for their strength, it could be cultivated later; high comprehension and strong mastery of the Great Dao were enough for now.

These abilities were cultivated through their own efforts; the Qishen Temple had an abundance of external resources. Moreover, this trial initiated by the Qishen Temple was the highest level of trial, and it required numerous inheritors. It seemed more like training a universal army corps within a structured framework.

Each affiliated world selected a thousand Grand Yan Immortals; collectively, there were over a million of them. Training a million Grand Yan Immortals at once was not as simple as nurturing one or two inheritors.

“Go in, all of you!” Demon Lord Fengyu opened the gates of the Eternal Tower.

Inside the tower, all the Grand Yan Immortals bowed, shouting in unison, “Thank you, Emperor! ”

Within the Eternal Tower and the tens of millions of Grand Yan Immortals inside the Chishui Hall, they all entered the Qishen Temple together.

“Ancestors, what about us?” Jiu Yu and the others looked at the people entering the Qishen Temple one after another, feeling somewhat anxious.

“Don’t worry. Entering first doesn’t guarantee benefits,” the authoritative voice of Qianshou Buddha resonated.

Tongtian Buddha and Wuliang Buddha were engaged in conversation with other Emperors.

As for Jian Wushuang, he was even less anxious. He had learned a lot about the Qishen Temple from others. Although he was intrigued, he understood what he needed. The Qishen Temple was undoubtedly mystical, but it might not necessarily help him.

With this time, he might as well devour those ghosts and monsters. There were so many of them in the vast wilderness. Perhaps, while the Emperors were focused on the Qishen Temple, he could achieve Ninth Transformation Consummation in one fell swoop.

Now, that was a tremendous opportunity!

“Tongtian, your people can also go in now!” Chishui smiled.

With so many Grand Yan Immortals, they naturally had to enter in batches. Although the Qishen Temple didn’t prioritize order, these Emperors still tried to ensure that their disciples entered first. The principle of ‘first come, first served’ was deeply ingrained in them; usually, the first entrants held the advantage in various relics and mysteries. Even though the

was different this time, they still followed the old rules.

“Thank you, Alliance Leader!” Tongtian Buddha’s face was filled with a smile.

Then he directly communicated with Qianshou Buddha.

Tongtian Buddha wasn’t concerned about when his subordinates would enter.

Right now, he was more concerned about himself. Since joining the Chishui Alliance, he had been rallying various forces. He had secretly formed alliances with several forces, especially with those solo practitioners. He personally pulled them in. As long as they had tier 4 power, he had formed an alliance with almost all of them..
