“Such a thing happened?”

Zhen Ling nodded with a solemn expression, sighing, “I just found out myself. The cause and effect you left in the Earth Realm have had a significant impact. That little girl can now seriously injure Long Yi!”

“Long Yi isn’t a match?” Jian Wushuang exclaimed in disbelief!

A trivial matter he hadn’t paid attention to before had turned into this.

From Zhen Ling, he learned that Jiang Shang, accompanied by Hu Qing, was searching for him everywhere, seeking revenge and blood.

Unable to bear watching, Long Yi personally tried to mediate, only to be seriously injured and forced to retreat by Jiang Shang.

This was bad!

Jian Wushuang felt a bit frightened. If it were a tier 6 Emperor, he wouldn’t be afraid, but someone who could seriously injure Long Yi, who was at the supreme-peak level – that person must be incredibly strong.

He was simply no match!

At the same time, he was surprised. This matter was a disaster for him, but for Zhen Ling, it seemed like a trivial matter among juniors. Why be so cautious?

This made him somewhat suspicious, and he stared at Zhen Ling with a gaze of disbelief.

Zhen Ling, hands behind his back, cleared his throat, straightened up, and continued, “I won’t hide it from you. Jiang Shang went to the Forest of Eternal Secrets to seek revenge on you. She consumed a forbidden fruit, causing her strength to skyrocket. Due to Hu Qing, I couldn’t intervene, so I need your help. However, all of this is because of you, and you must take responsibility to the end!”

“I take responsibility?” Jian Wushuang’s head spun. Just because of Hu Qing’s situation, Zhen Ling couldn’t act, and now he was supposed to help? Even if he did step in, he wasn’t a match!

Isn’t this sending him to his death?

“Don’t you know, Lord Zhen Ling, that Hu Qing is my sworn life-and-death brother?” Jian Wushuang didn’t want to take on this responsibility and turned his head aside, resolute and unwavering.

He and Hu Qing were true brothers who had faced countless trials together. How could he harm his brother?

Zhen Ling continued to persuade from the side, “I’m not asking you to deal with Hu Qing, just to eliminate Jiang Shang!”

“Lord, please don’t play games with me. I’m not her match. Going there would be suicide!” Jian Wushuang was also overwhelmed.

Zhen Ling quickly waved his hand and reassured, “No, no. She is currently seriously injured, with her strength reduced to around the level of a tier 6 Emperor. Moreover, Hu Qing is still in slumber. This is a great opportunity!”

“Then I’m not going either!” Jian Wushuang had already decided that there was no good in it and directly refused Zhen Ling.

Splash!

A stream of light appeared in Zhen Ling’s hand, startling Jian Wushuang. He thought Zhen Ling, in his madness, was about to make a move against him.

Zhen Ling’s face looked particularly sinister under the illumination of the light, especially his two bean-sized eyeballs!

“It’s fine if you don’t go. It’s just that this top-tier treasure for Dao Merge, I will give to someone else. Also, I want to remind you, I won’t intervene in battles between the younger generation. If you kill Emperor Si Tian, I won’t say anything, but when Jiang Shang regains her strength and seeks revenge on you, I won’t interfere!” Zhen Ling almost wrote the word ‘threat’ on his face.

There’s no logic in giving a candy first and then using a stick.

Jian Wushuang grabbed the crystal ball in the light, holding it without saying a word.

A strand of Thought power probed in; indeed, there were some treasures and experiences needed for Dao Merge. However, compared to the inheritance of the Inheritors during the Dao Merge in the Three Kings Court with Hu Qing, it was far less.

The two were like the difference between valuable and worthless scrap metal.

But having something was better than nothing. He was on the verge of Dao Merge, and for him, this was a timely help.

Of course, this bit of benefit was not enough!

Jian Wushuang nonchalantly stored the crystal ball into his mustard seed. In reality, his gains this time were not small.

Excluding this crystal ball, his Beast God Weapon had already recovered, and with the unique improvements of the Giant God Clan, it had now reached the complete form of the Beast God Origin Source.

That drop of Beast God essence blood also played a crucial role.

He also obtained some information about the outside world from Shen Ling, which was invaluable.

However, all these were given by Shen Ling. Zhen Ling wanted to dismiss him with just a broken crystal ball, but it wasn’t that easy. As for the Origin Source of All Things, it was originally his, so it couldn’t be considered a granted reward. Thus, he began contemplating some needed treasures, preparing to extort Zhen Ling.

However, after much thought, the things he could ask for were too few.

His divine body didn’t need improvement anymore. With the Origin Source of All Things, the spatial realm could break through the black hole realm. Finally, all that remained was the state of mind, which couldn’t be enhanced by external objects.

After resolving the increasingly expanding karmic calamity, he should be able to break through smoothly.

With nothing much to desire for himself, he decided to bring up an external matter.

He had once inquired of Shen Ling whether Bai Junwang had truly fallen. He learned from Shen Ling that Bai Junwang’s demise was only a clone, and his true self had perished in ancient times.

Interestingly, the original Bai Junwang had fallen in the Qishen Temple during ancient times, and could be revived using the Origin Source Sea.

However, reviving the ancient Bai Junwang meant that the other party wouldn’t recognize him at all.

Sighing, Jian Wushuang had initially considered reviving Nie Yuan. From Nie Yuan’s Origin Source, he had grasped the true essence of the Ultimate Sword Dao.

The Sword Dao, followed from insignificance to the present, was about to embrace its perfection. His sentiments toward the sword were profound, and he felt grateful to those who had helped him attain enlightenment.

He was willing to pay some price to revive Nie Yuan, even if it meant exploiting the opportunity to blackmail Zhen Ling.

Unfortunately, when Nie Yuan summoned the power from the Starry Sky, he returned to the Starry Sky, making revival impossible.

“It’s feasible to go there, but, Lord Zhen Ling, I have two small requests. I wonder if…”

Jian Wushuang’s expression was solemn as he stared at Zhen Ling, his tone serious.

Zhen Ling was startled, thinking Jian Wushuang was about to make exorbitant demands.

He hastily retreated, awkwardly saying, “Jian Wushuang, you know I’m just a True Spirit. Despite my apparent authority, it’s all a facade. If you’re after treasures, you should ask Zhu Yi. She has plenty. I’ll tell you everything if you just say…”

Frightened, Zhen Ling spilled a bunch of Zhu Yi’s secrets, advising Jian Wushuang to extort treasures from her.

Jian Wushuang was quite speechless; if he were to make such a request, he feared that the Vermilion Bird Temple Master would slaughter him.

Moreover, his two requests were not for treasures.

“My Lord, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t seek treasures, only the resurrection of a person!” Jian Wushuang expressed his plea.

Zhen Ling, upon hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand casually, saying, “Tell me, how many people do you want? This matter is too simple!”

When he revived the Emperor before, he resurrected them in batches. For the Origin Source Sea, it posed no burden at all.

If it were someone else, he might have created some difficulties. But now, since Jian Wushuang was asking, he broke the precedent.

“Just one!” Jian Wushuang extended a finger, his gaze resolute.

Since entering the Qishen Temple, he hadn’t made many friends. T

he only ones he truly fought alongside were Hu Qing and . Although Bai Junwang had initially harbored ill intentions towards him, through gradual interaction, they became both mentor and friend, with Bai Junwang imparting many valuable lessons to him.
