Legend of Swordsman

Wu Li and Lord Hengmu both hailed from the original universe or the Sixteen Kingdoms of Qingchao.

In that continent of the Sixteen Kingdoms, bathed in the radiance of Spacetime Origin Source, naturally resided innate life.

The Infinite Great World was also a realm of primordial nature, belonging to the Spacetime Origin Source.

As for Jian Wushuang, his prowess needed no mention.

He wielded the power of innate life.

During his time at the Qishen Temple, several big shots of the Giant God Clan had remarked that such ability was rarely seen even in the Starry Sky.

Upon arriving in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, up to now, only among the Wanliu Willows, was there the power of innate life.

One could imagine how extraordinary this power was.

“Elder, we all understand this. Let’s get started quickly. Divine Wood King has already led his people to the Wanliu Divine Realm. It’s feared that it won’t be long before he descends!” Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but urge.

Though he had successfully crossed his tribulation, reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm, he still lacked the confidence to contend with a powerhouse of the Eighth Tribulation realm.

And Divine Wood King had been concealing his strength all along; he might well be a peak powerhouse of the Eighth Tribulation realm.

Once he arrived, he could annihilate them in an instant.

He currently had no trump cards to confront an Eighth Tribulation realm.

Seeing this, Lord Hengmu didn’t waste any words either. With a single hand clench, he gathered some innate Life force in his palm.

“Follow my lead. As long as we have sufficient innate Life force, we can open the altar!” Lord Hengmu said and began continuously infusing Life force into the altar.

Jian Wushuang followed suit.

This was too simple for him.

After becoming the Universe Master, his Life force was much stronger than before.

Even resurrecting an Eighth Tribulation realm expert from near death to their peak was no problem.

Reaching in with one hand, a grand green column of air condensed and directly converged at the base of the altar.

Beside him, Lord Hengmu was astonished; his own bit of Life force was insufficient compared to Jian Wushuang’s.

Deep down, he couldn’t help but sigh. If not for Divine Wood King snatching away that

treasure, his Life force could have been as formidable as Jian Wushuang’s.

After obtaining that treasure, Divine Wood King never lacked Life force again.

However, the treasure wasn’t complete.

The Life force it could gather was also not innate Life force.

It wasn’t enough to open the altar.

This was also the reason why he wanted to capture Jian Wushuang.

Capturing Jian Wushuang was like unlocking the Wanliu Divine Tree.

Once they obtained the Wanliu Divine Tree, they would control the complete innate Life force.

So ultimately, the path they would take would lead to resurrection.

Lord Hengmu was no exception.

Although he possessed the incomplete treasure and had scarce Life force, he was the most crucial part, able to condense the innate Life force.

Entering Wanliu was not for the treasure.

Resurrection!

This was the greatest demand of the Scattered Tribulation.

Babidi, Divine Wood King, and Lord Hengmu.

The goal of the three parties was the method of resurrection within the Wanliu Divine Tree.

Only Jian Wushuang and those Scattered Tribulations in the Seventh Tribulation realm were after the treasure.

Speaking of those Scattered Tribulations, they also pursued Life force.

But they didn’t dare to think so big, to dare to think of resurrection.

In the end, only Jian Wushuang remained pure in pursuit, solely for the treasure.

Jian Wushuang continuously gathered Life force.

His Thought power followed those Life power, wanting to enter the bottom of the altar.

But it was mercilessly blocked.

Originally, he wanted to see where these Life forces went.

In the altar, putting in Life power could open and unlock the Wanliu Divine Tree.

So where did this Life force go?

Although it was for the treasure, Jian Wushuang, who had become the Universe Master, didn’t have such a strong demand for the opportunities and treasures within the Wanliu Divine Tree.

He was more interested in knowing what secrets the Wanliu held.

To the extent that it could be ranked alongside the Ancient Moon Ruins and the Wuhua Secret Realm as the three strongest secrets of the Ancient Moon Spacetime.

All of them were places ordinary people couldn’t enter.

Of the first two major secrets, the Ancient Moon Ruins would occasionally yield some strange objects, some of which were useful.

The Wuhua Secret Realm, however, didn’t have any particularly important treasures, and it

was stingy.

Few people could bring out treasures from the Wuhua Secret Realm.

The Wanliu Divine Tree was different.

Because it was occupied by the Ancient Wood Faction in the Ancient Wood Continent.

Moreover, one couldn’t enter, and the peripheral treasures were valuable but also dangerous.

What attracted people the most was the Life force.

This attraction was the greatest.

Therefore, the Wanliu Divine Tree’s reputation resounded throughout the nine great

spacetimes.

Even groups of Eighth Tribulation realm Universe Masters came to forcibly enter, but unfortunately, they were directly isolated by the prohibition power upon reaching the inner

circle.

It was like being in an isolated paradise.

There was no power absorption inside, and they almost starved to death.

After coming out, they didn’t dare to enter again.

They were afraid of being trapped and dying.

At first, some people suspected that the Ancient Wood Faction could secretly enter, but later, with the miserable departure of several Eighth Tribulation Universe Masters, no one doubted

it anymore.

The Ancient Wood Sect had always kept the periphery of the Wanliu Divine Wood sealed off.

There had been no movements.

Every time the position of the Holy Maiden was up for election, they would open the Divine Realm once, but only at the very edge.

To think that to reach the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Wood Sect, one needed to enter the

Wanliu Divine Wood.

Jian Wushuang’s thoughts were stirred.

According to the temperament of the Divine Wood King, the position of the Holy Maiden was

probably also a prelude to opening the Wanyan.

Unfortunately, after so many years, they had not succeeded.

The innate Life force, how could it be so easy?

The gathered Life force kept entering the bottom of the altar.

But the entire altar showed no change.

The incense that Lord Hengmu had just lit went out.

In the time of an incense stick burning, his Life force was enough to revive someone on the

brink of death in the Eighth Tribulation realm.

So much Life force, yet there was no reaction.

How could Wu Li have dared to say such words back then?

He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Lord Hengmu, unmistakably filled with doubt.

Lord Hengmu paused for a moment, then explained, “I don’t know either. According to my

initial calculations, it should have been enough long ago.”

“Senior Hengmu, this wasn’t your first time entering, was it?” Jian Wushuang was now very

suspicious.

When Lord Hengmu first entered, it definitely wasn’t here.

Otherwise, how much Life force would have been needed to irrigate it?

Moreover, when Lord Hengmu entered, he was only at the Third Tribulation realm.

That bit of strength, what could it have done?

Back then, those who believed in this statement were simply ignorant.

They didn’t delve deeper.

In that particular era, indeed, countless strong individuals poured into the Wanliu Divine

Wood.

It was also at that time that an Eighth Tribulation Universe Master paved the way.

That’s why they could safely follow.

This part made sense.

But how they entered the inner part, how could that be explained?

Jian Wushuang couldn’t believe this explanation.

Seeing Jian Wushuang beginning to doubt himself, Lord Hengmu hurriedly sighed,

“Wushuang, why don’t you hold on a bit longer? Trust me, entering the Wanliu Divine Wood must be from here, otherwise, there’s no way.”

The Life force Jian Wushuang gathered continued to flow incessantly into those statues along

the bottom of the altar.
