Legend of Swordsman

“What!” Jian Wushuang exclaimed.

If this were true, it would be terrifying.

The Divine Wood King possessed such a treasure, yet always appeared weak to the outside world.

There must be some conspiracy, or perhaps the Divine Wood King himself couldn’t safeguard the treasure. Once exposed, he feared that the Universe Masters at the eighth tribulation level would come to seize it.

“Lower your voice, Jian Wushuang! Consider the bigger picture!” Wu Li hastily pulled him down, then continued, “This treasure only has an effect on Scattered Tribulations. My teacher controlled it for so long but couldn’t fully understand it. However, my teacher mentioned that if he had continued to possess that treasure, he might have broken through the Ninth Tribulation!”

Jian Wushuang was completely stunned this time.

The Ninth Tribulation!

The more they talked, the more unbelievable it sounded.

The Ancient Moon Spacetime, the only Ninth Tribulation level, belonged to that Celestial Maiden.

And she had fallen.

For such a long time, no one had been able to break through to the Ninth Tribulation level.

It wasn’t that he looked down on the Lord of Hengmu, he just had some doubts about Wu Li’s exaggeration.

Exaggeration to deceive him into getting involved.

The ninth tribulation level was a huge temptation for everyone.

Jian Wushuang was no exception.

The path to the Ancient Moon Spacetime was cut off.

But his path was not.

The Ancient Moon Spacetime was just a springboard for him to break through the nine major spacetimes.

With enough strength, he could just leave without a care.

He couldn’t stay in the Ancient Moon Spacetime forever.

He had also noticed its continuous weakening.

Perhaps at some point, the Celestial Maiden would play a trick and destroy the entire Ancient Moon Spacetime.

It would be better to leave early.

The premise was that he became a Universe Master and then gathered the people he brought along.

He couldn’t just leave on his own and ignore the others.

“The ninth tribulation level, forget it!” he shook his head with a bitter smile.

He had confidence in himself, and it was justified.

He wasn’t about to believe just because of something Wu Li said.

However, Wu Li’s expression turned serious as he spoke, “Jian Wushuang, do you not trust me?”

“I don’t,” he shook his head.

He had heard plenty about the Ancient Moon Spacetime from Weiss.

That guy was a god.

He didn’t easily trust the words of gods.

Why would he trust Wu Li?

Wu Li felt a bit embarrassed. He cleared his throat and continued, “If you don’t believe that, then how about this?”

With that, he took out a treasure from his mustard seed.

Though it was called a treasure, it was just a leaf.

“What’s this?” Jian Wushuang frowned, taking the leaf and examining it carefully. Then, he exclaimed in shock, “Could this be a Wanliu Leaf from the Wanliu Tree?”

Wu Li chuckled lightly and nodded.

Indeed, it was a leaf from the Wanliu Tree, plucked when the Lord of Hengmu left the tree.

He had acquired quite a few back then.

He had used some when he made his breakthrough, and now only this one remained, which he had to use to persuade Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang stared at the willow leaf, and as he observed the patterns on it, his eyes flickered.

He was immediately immersed in enlightenment.

This willow leaf carried the true essence of time.

It was the core of his breakthrough.

Mastering time!

As he looked at the leaf, his mind became as clear as a blank slate.

Recalling his understanding of time back then, it seemed utterly inadequate.

While spatial realms were mainly divided into stars, star seas, black holes, and the universe, the division of time was extremely profound.

Each had its own insights.

Everyone was different.

In this moment, he instantly grasped his own true understanding of time.

“I’ve made progress!” Jian Wushuang murmured. In this moment of trance, he had actually stepped into the Origin Source of time.

He was one step closer to breaking through the Tribulation realm.

He didn’t know the exact role of this Wanliu willow leaf, but it had allowed him to grasp the Origin Source of time.

It was definitely the most supreme treasure.

“How about it, do you believe now?” Wu Li said with a smile.

However, Jian Wushuang shook his head. This was just a beginning.

The other party didn’t even understand why the Ancient Moon Spacetime hadn’t produced the Ninth Tribulation Realm.

This willow leaf wasn’t something that could solve everything.

Wu Li became anxious and continued, “Jian Wushuang, I’ve said all I can. We came here for the Wanjie Tree, we can’t give up halfway!”

“I’m not backing out!”

Jian Wushuang also felt somewhat helpless.

If the other party was so anxious now, it might lead to a mistake.

He didn’t know that it wasn’t Wu Li who was in a hurry, but the treant.

That is, the Lord of Hengmu.

“Well then, what are we waiting for? Let’s get ready to leave,” Wu Li gestured with two fingers as if running.

Jian Wushuang hesitated for a moment. Now wasn’t the time to be at odds with the Empress.

Moreover, Wu Li’s suggestion wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

Since the other party was confident, he had been following Wu Li’s plan anyway. So why not go along with it now?

In the end, he gritted his teeth, finished the last sip of wine, and said firmly, “Let’s go!”

Both of them stood up simultaneously, preparing to inform Danbao that they were leaving.

But before they could even go inside to inform Danbao, Danbao had already come out.

“Are you two leaving?” Danbao widened his eyes, staring at them.

Jian Wushuang nodded and said, “We’ve rested enough. We don’t want to trouble the nobles any longer.”

“Alright, I’ll report to the Grand Elder!” With that, Danbao turned to leave.

At this moment, Wu Li reminded him through voice transmission, “They might try to stop us. Shouldn’t we slip away quietly?”

This suggestion was directly vetoed by Jian Wushuang. This was the sacred land of the Polunga Clan; escaping would be a problem no matter what.

It was better to be honest; telling the truth was the best option.

Boom!

In the sky, a cloud dispersed, and the people below looked up.

Jian Wushuang and Wu Li were also surprised!

Danbao, who had been about to report to the Grand Elder, also froze in place.

Then, they heard the ancient bell of the Dragon God Mountain ringing, and the colors of the sky and earth changed.

The dazzling night sky full of stars instantly turned into daylight.

“This is?”

“Enemy attack!”

At that moment, not only Jian Wushuang and his companions reacted, but also the strengthened members of the Polunga Clan on Dragon God Mountain, who ascended into the air and reached the mountain’s summit.

They never imagined that the humans and Gula’s subordinates would locate this place so quickly.

And just as Jian Wushuang and his group were about to implement their plan, it was once again declared a failure.

This stroke of bad luck seemed to have hit them all in a single day.

“Let’s go to the summit to assess the situation first!” Jian Wushuang’s expression darkened, forced to change the plan on the fly.

He enveloped the elixirs with divine power, his wings fluttering behind him as he soared to the mountaintop.

Wu Li followed closely behind.

Upon reaching the summit, they discovered that several hundred members of the Polunga Clan had already gathered there.

Their expressions were grim, especially when they saw Jian Wushuang and Wu Li, distrust flickering in their eyes.

The attackers of the Holy Land were the humans and Gula’s subordinates.

For these combat-oriented members of the Polunga Clan to find the Holy Land so quickly, they immediately began to doubt Jian Wushuang and Wu Li.

It was only natural.

Jian Wushuang and Wu Li could only shrink into a corner, afraid to say a word.
