Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6166: Happy Cooperation



"Whew!"

Both of them panted heavily.

It was evident that their recent attacks had pushed them to their limits.

Jian Wushuang's Origin Source Sword Dao had unleashed a power level of approximately 75 million.

Meanwhile, Zong Qian's divine power had reached 80 million at the last moment.

The immense divine power left them both catching their breath for quite some time.

They were close to reaching the level of Universe Gods.

However, even at this level, Jian Wushuang still found it challenging to execute the sixth sword move of the Starry Sky Chronicles.

He still couldn't comprehend how he had managed to perform that sword strike back then. After merging with Hu Qing, the power he had unleashed was beyond his understanding.

He didn't know how much it was.

The Realm King had said it was even stronger than the Universe Gods.

If he could still merge, he wouldn't fear anything like Xilu or Zamasu, but unfortunately, he no longer had that opportunity.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gasping for breath, Zong Qian looked at Jian Wushuang and said, "I didn't expect you to have hidden such power. Why didn't you take the initiative to deal with Hong Yuan in the Spacetime Gorge and instead gave him the treasure?"

"If it weren't for your intervention, I might have acted long ago!" Jian Wushuang didn't hold back and explained his concerns at that time. If it weren't for the Star Field Bandits and people like Luo Lan, he would have acted sooner.

Moreover, he hadn't had a clear understanding of his own strength back then.

He was primarily worried about others taking advantage of the situation.

When he left the Northern Spacetime, the true spirit had told him that no one would look after them this time.

He needed his own strength.

Naturally, he had to be extremely cautious.

He couldn't afford to be careless.

Even if his opponent's divine power was only 50 million.

He had to consider the possibility that the opponent had a hidden divine power of 100 million. Better safe than sorry!

"Brave and wise, Jian Wushuang, you're quite impressive. Perhaps this time you'll be able to enter the Academy of the Gods!" Zong Qian couldn't help but praise.

Jian Wushuang was surprised. To receive praise from the proud Zong Qian was unexpected.

It seemed that Zong Qian now regarded him as an equal.

There was a mutual appreciation among geniuses.

They entered the pit, divided the golden bones, each obtaining five bones.

That meant five opportunities.

"Pleasant cooperation!"

"See you at the Ascension Towers!"

They quickly parted ways without much further interaction.

Watching Zong Qian's departing figure, Jian Wushuang stood still.

This cooperation wasn't really for the golden bones; it was to probe Zong Qian's strength.

But he didn't get the chance.

Asking directly?

He understood better than anyone that such knowledge couldn't be easily shared.

Why would others guide him?

He shouldn't even think about it.

He only used this opportunity to establish some rapport with Zong Qian, which might prove beneficial in the future.

Just like his past relationship with Jinchen, when he arrived in the Daughter Kingdom, he received guidance from the ruler, Yun Zhi, which was an opportunity.

"Beast God Weapon!"

With a thought, several dark red divine weapons instantly wrapped around his body.

Among them, the Origin Source of the Demon Dragon Blade was the most powerful, already considered an artifact.

The remaining Beast God Weapons included the Eye of the Candle Dragon at the Ninth Tribulation level.

The rest were at the peak of the Eighth Tribulation level.

Currently, nurturing them was pointless.

He needed to hand them over to a divine blacksmith to reconstruct the current Beast God

Weapons.

However, the Origin Source would be preserved.

Until now, he hadn't realized he had collected all the Beast God Weapons; the previous

experiences had been too fantastical.

With the Beast God Weapons gathered.

And the treasures obtained from the Lord of Zalong Mountain.

"Hmm?" As he scanned through those treasures, he discovered six artifacts.

Above the artifacts, there were stars.

The remaining treasures were either consumable elixirs and fruits or some semi-artifacts.

"Stars?"

Jian Wushuang frowned. Although he didn't know much about artifacts, he had acquired quite

a few.

The Nine Tribulations Tower from before.

And the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard.

The Nine Tribulations Tower had nine stars, but he had thought they were just decorations

and didn't pay much attention.

The Skysight Heavenly Chessboard had a crescent moon.

He hadn't paid attention to that either.

Now, seeing these six artifacts, he suddenly thought that these decorations might indicate

the artifact's level.

Of the six artifacts.

Five had one star each.

The last one had six stars.

A dilapidated ancient tower.

It contained a massive amount of Beast God's power.

A true dragon coiled around the top of the ancient tower.

This treasure might be the one that Zong Qian and others wanted to snatch, and also the one

the Lord of Zhalong Mountain carefully guarded.

From the Beast God's power above, Jian Wushuang saw the embodiment of a divine dragon.

His heart moved, and he exclaimed, "This Origin Source must be from a Universe God-level

true dragon!"

If that were the case, no wonder the Lord of Zhalong Mountain had guarded it so fiercely. Once the opponent became a Universe God, absorbing the Origin Source from this ancient tower could undoubtedly make them a super strong Universe God.

It was like a Dao Lord obtaining the Origin Source of a peak-level powerhouse.

After becoming an Emperor, absorbing the Origin Source wouldn't necessarily make one a peak-level being, but a tier 5 Emperor was achievable, possibly even a tier 6.

"No wonder!"

Jian Wushuang carefully stored these treasures.

These were hard-won through life-and-death struggles; there was no rush to distribute them

now.

But the stars puzzled him.

The Demon Dragon Blade was also an artifact but only had half a star.

As for those treasures they called semi-artifacts, they didn't even have half a star.

Perhaps it was wishful thinking on their part.

After collecting the golden bones, Jian Wushuang wandered around the area again, observed

some pools of golden liquid, and then left.

He even tried to absorb the golden liquid but was repelled.

He couldn't absorb it at all.

White bones soaked in golden liquid had their divine power nearly doubled, yet the golden

liquid was Origin Source power, so how strong must it be?

Unfortunately, he couldn't absorb it, so he had to leave.

When he returned to the Feathering Towers.

He saw Wu Li and others standing in the central square, looking despondent.

"You all went inside?" Jian Wushuang asked in surprise, "How come you're out so quickly!"

It had only been a few hours.

Wu Li and the others had collected quite a few bones!

"Sigh!" Wu Li sighed, "That Ascension Tower is impossible to climb!"

"What do you mean?"

Jian Wushuang was a bit surprised.

Impossible to climb?

Hu Qing was here too; even if he couldn't reach the top, halfway should be achievable!

Why did everyone look so despondent?

Wu Zuo stepped forward to explain, "Brother Wushuang, you'll understand once you go

inside, but it's best to use white bones to climb the tower!"

Jian Wushuang didn't mind.

There was definitely a difference between white bones and golden bones.

Using white bones to climb the tower might be relatively easier.

Golden bones were the hardest.

In a place like the Academy of the Gods, he would take the hardest path.

How could he take the easiest?

"What exactly is inside?"

"Tribulation!" Hu Qing didn't beat around the bush, "The Ascension Tower has nine levels. I

used purple bones to climb and failed at the Fifth Tribulation!"

The Fifth Tribulation?
