Legend of Swordsman

“Then what?” Divine Wood King directly asked.

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

Even Wu Li, who usually spoke without thinking, didn’t know how to smooth things over.

Hong Long, however, remained calm. He glanced at Divine Wood King and explained, “A month from now, the spacetime fissures will collapse, and no more treasures will appear after that!”

“Brilliant!” Wu Li quickly flattered, “Your father’s technique is truly unique, even the Universe Masters are helpless against it, simply admirable!”

“You flatter me. It’s just that those high and mighty Universe Masters don’t care about these treasures. If they did, my father would probably have to give them up, considering the cost of offending a Universe Master is too great!” Hong Long was very humble.

However, Jian Wushuang felt that the cost was enough.

If you offend someone, so be it, but you can’t just hand things over to others, right?

It’s likely that the Lord of Zalong Mountain had secretly competed with many Universe Masters and ultimately won, allowing him to maintain control of this place.

Fortunately, they didn’t follow up on this topic yesterday, or it would have been a death sentence.

It’s more practical to cooperate honestly.

“Alright, let’s go in directly!” Hong Long said without further ado, taking out a token and directly opening the entrance to the formation.

But just as everyone was about to enter, a mountain peak not far from there suddenly exploded.

The massive commotion momentarily distracted everyone, drawing their attention to the exploding mountain.

A purple stone Qilin suddenly burst out from the mountain, its divine power already reaching 40 million.

“It turns out to be a purple stone Qilin, just a low-grade divine beast. Qing Xuan, go and drive it away!” Hong Long casually instructed, then turned his attention back to the formation.

After checking the formation and finding no changes, he felt relieved.

No one thought it was a coincidence.

They all found it somewhat suspicious.

After confirming there was no issue with the formation, Hong Long finally sighed in relief.

His guard captain, Qing Xuan, had already returned.

Hong Long was not surprised by his own people; how could he not know their strength?

This was also to warn the others, letting them know that his subordinates were not weaker than them.

Especially to warn Elder Zhuge.

Just because you’re experienced doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want and disregard him.

His guard captain, “Qing Xuan,” was also his senior sister, a disciple of his father.

Divine power of 43 million.

Only slightly weaker than Elder Zhuge.

“Young Master!” Qing Xuan was still holding a pulsating heart.

The sight made Wu Li’s heart beat faster.

Just now, Qing Xuan had unleashed ten thousand swords in an instant, easily killing the purple stone Qilin.

“It’s just a beast, no need to kill it!” Hong Long pretended to scold, “Keep it yourself. There are plenty of monsters around here, don’t provoke them again!”

But just as he finished speaking, another monster appeared.

Hong Long held his head, helplessly saying, “Forget it, don’t mind them, let’s go!”

With that, he led everyone into the spacetime canyon.

Upon entering, Wu Li quietly transmitted his voice, “Brother Wushuang, how does that little girl’s swordsmanship compare to yours?”

“No comparison!”

“Just say who’s stronger, you or her?”

“She was stronger than me back then, but not now!”

“How long ago?”

“About… a hundred million epochs ago!”

Wu Li then shut up.

He didn’t know much about Jian Wushuang’s strength.

But Hu Qing’s strength had shocked him quite a bit.

It seemed that Jian Wushuang was still stronger.

To be so strong a hundred million epochs ago.

Now he had reached the Eighth Tribulation realm, no problem with his demigod combat power.

After entering the spacetime canyon.

A sense of disorientation hit them.

There were also some small spacetime fissures, and one careless move could split the divine body in half.

Though not fatal, it would damage the divine body.

Now, Jian Wushuang’s divine body was condensed from Starry Sky divine power.

The previous life force and power of all things were useless now.

He needed to be cautious about any treasures containing the power of the Starry Sky; he couldn’t afford to get hurt.

Otherwise, even with his Origin Source Starry Sky, recovery would be slow.

While not as slow as ordinary cultivators, it would still take several hundred years.

This would be considered lightning speed for ordinary cultivators, but for Jian Wushuang, who could restore his divine power in an instant in the past, it was torturously slow.

Thus, once he entered the spacetime fissure, he became exceptionally careful.

He displayed his weakest strength and took the opportunity to walk in the middle, right next to that young master, Hong Long.

The deeper they went into the spacetime canyon, the more numerous the fissures became.

However, these fissures were invisible, like lines.

They couldn’t flow treasures but could cause injuries.

His mind had to be taut, as one careless move could result in severe injury.

Half of this strenuous task was assigned to Hong Long’s guards, and the other half to Wu Li and others.

However, Qing Xuan and Wu Li were positioned at the front and back, one protecting Jian Wushuang and the others, the other protecting Hong Long.

As for Ke Shangyang and Elder Zhuge, they didn’t seem very eager to contribute.

After spending half a day in the canyon, they had found nothing.

Young Master Hong Long was not in a hurry, holding a compass in his hand, searching for the treasure he sought.

“Turn around, the spacetime is in disarray, and we’ve gone the wrong way!” Hong Long continuously adjusted their route.

Entering the inner perimeter was quite troublesome.

Without Hong Long leading the way, even if they were given the place, it would be difficult to find any treasures.

Jian Wushuang had a different story. Due to the spacetime disorder, his Thought power was fully expanded, covering a much wider range than theirs.

He had already seen a few floating treasures.

Some were at the level of the Seventh Tribulation, and some at the Eighth Tribulation.

He didn’t pay them any mind, knowing that even the others wouldn’t be interested.

Otherwise, he could have used his mental power to guide them over.

“Hmm?”

A powerful aura was captured by his mental power; it was a semi-divine artifact.

A large seal.

He felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Entering the Realm God Continent with nothing, he needed money to buy treasures containing the power of the Starry Sky.

Although after reaching the Eighth Tribulation, an epoch within his Origin Source could produce tens of millions of mixed yuan stones, it still wasn’t enough.

After painstakingly saving up a hundred billion mixed primordial stone, he found out that even an ordinary treasure couldn’t be exchanged for that.

Because treasures containing the power of the Starry Sky had to be exchanged for Starry Sky Crystals at the very least.

Starry Sky Crystals were condensed by the Starry Sky itself.

They were the hard currency of the Starry Sky.

Only Universe Masters could condense them.

And it was quite troublesome.

Jian Wushuang didn’t have a single one.

So, upon seeing that semi-divine artifact, he felt immense joy.

That semi-divine artifact, if sold, could fetch hundreds of billions of mixed yuan stones.

Exchanging for Starry Sky Crystals, he could get hundreds of them.

Without Starry Sky treasures, absorbing Starry Sky Crystals would work just as well.
