5804 The Four Great Candidates

In the Shi Kingdom, there was also a super powerhouse, ‘Shi Xiu’.

Within the Seventh Tribulation, there was also Lian Xing, which Jian Wushuang was familiar with.

This individual held significant sway, with his status being the highest in the entire hall.

Many approached him to converse. “My fellow Daoists, how do you all view the list of candidates this time?” The head of the Ancient Wood Sect raised his hand, and a list floated in mid-air.

The names of the four candidates also appeared above.

The Seventh Tribulation ancestor from the Yuc Kingdom, upon not seeing Fengchen’s name on the list, wore a displeased expression.

However, given his strength and status were at the bottom among these people, he didn’t. say anything.

It was a Seventh Tribulation powerhouse from the Daughter Kingdom who spoke up, saying, “Just at the beginning, and already making a list. Isn’t that a bit hasty?” “Haha, this list might have some discrepancies, but the final candidates will probably be these four!”

These were the candidates selected by the Ancient Wood Sect based on intelligence.

The position of the Iloly Maiden must be someone from the Ancient Wood Continent.

That position was the future core of the Ancient Wood Sect.

Their background must be thoroughly investigated.

If their background isn’t clear, even if their strength is formidable, they will still be deliberately made to leave by the Ancient Wood Sect.

The current list of candidates.

Three of them are experts from the secret realm, which has caused dissatisfaction among the powerhouses of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

Among the Seventh Tribulation powerhouses here, only three come from secret realms.

Nine of them are powerhouses from the Sixteen Kingdoms.

The head of the Ancient Wood Sect remained impassive, having no way to change the situation.

This list was the decision of all the elders within the sect.

In his view, I was a move to suppress the Sixteen Kingdoms.

Recently, the Shi Kingdom had been particularly arrogant.

Coupled with the emergence of a Universe Master at the Seven Tribulations from the Daughter Kingdom, if things continued like this, it wouldn’t be the Ancient Wood Sect’s land anymore but rather subject to the dictates of those kingdoms.

This was absolutely unacceptable.

If open suppression wasn’t feasible, then manipulation behind the scenes was the way to go. “Actually, everything depends on strength. The list doesn’t prove anything!” Liang Xing said casually.

Naturally, the strong of the Sixteen Kingdoms tended to band together. Besides the powerful from the Sixteen Kingdoms and the secret realms, there were also some formidable outsiders present.

These observers remained aloof, not speaking out.

Wherever there are internal conflicts, dissent is inevitable.

Upon hearing Liang Xing’s words, several Seven Tribulations experts from the secret realms showed no intention of refuting,

In fact, considering their strength, the experts from the secret realms had a better chance. Because this time, there were far more experts from the secret realms mobilized than from the Sixteen Kingdoms.

Universe Masters at the Fifth Tribulations outnumbered those from the Sixteen Kingdoms by more than double.

No matter how you looked at it, the final spots would lean more towards the experts from the secret realms. “Senior Liang Xing, do you perhaps have a favored team?” asked the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Wood Sect, curious.

She noticed Liang Xing had been gazing at the sky, probably favoring a particular kingdom’s team, such as the Shi Kingdom.

However, currently, the three Universe Masters of the Shi Kingdom mobilized for this event did not exhibit outstanding strength.

Their individual combat power was inferior to that of the Yue Kingdom.

Ilope dwindled significantly. “It’s not that, it’s just having confidence in someone!”

Lian Xing shook his head and chuckled, “I heard that this time, the Ancient Wood Sect has brought out many rare treasures in the Emperor’s assessment. I wonder if this is true?”

The head of the Ancient Wood Sect was momentarily stunned at the remark, then replied, “Indeed, that’s the case. After all, the Emperor is the hope of the future. We did bring out. quite a few rare treasures that can help them quickly advance to the Tribulation Realm!”

While the words were spoken calmly, internally, they were shocked by Lian Xing’s intelligence.

This matter was only decided yesterday.

Yet, Lian Xing already knew about it today.

It was likely that within the Ancient Wood Seet, people had already started taking sides.

This was a rather frightening development.

The core of the Ancient Wood Sect consisted of its supreme elders.

All of them were qualified experts at the Seventh Tribulation.

Although they were all Scattered Tribulation experts, the power of the Ancient Wood Sect lay in their hands.

The head of the Ancient Wood Sect was not one of the supreme elders. It was evident that to become one, significant contributions were required.

And these supreme elders didn’t just appear out of nowhere.

These powerful individuals were the accumulation of thousands of generations within the Ancient Wood Sect.

If one traced their origins, all these experts hailed from the Sixteen Kingdoms.

It was a terrifying revelation.

Despite the overt suppression of the Sixteen Kingdoms, any slight movement would have information discreetly relayed back to them.

For the powerful figures within the secret realms to rise, it wasn’t an easy task.

The head of the Ancient Wood Sect was well aware of this.

But his heart was no longer with the Ancient Wood Sect.

He was now aligned with Babidi.

Ever since learning that Dylan had cultivated the technique created by Babidi and had reached the Seventh Tribulation, he couldn’t contain his excitement.

Perhaps Dylan could truly break through again and become an Eighth Tribulation expert. Comparing strengths of the Eighth Tribulation, the head of the Ancient Wood Sect was insignificant.

He didn’t amount to anything.

Even a half-dead Eighth Tribulation expert could control the entire Ancient Wood Sect.

If he were to cultivate Babidi’s techniques and reach the realm of Eight Tribulation, he would only be slightly weaker than the Universe Master and even stronger than the Divine

Wood King.

After some casual conversation, these super beings took their seats and began to observe the various strong individuals in the celestial screen.

Following their gazes, they saw the scene in the celestial screen.

Tens of thousands of strong individuals entered the Infinite Great World.

Those with good luck were closest to the starting point, while those with poor luck even entered some forbidden areas, currently battling with those savage beasts.

Among them was Jian Wushuang.

The Infinite Great World was entirely undeveloped and primitive.

A blade of grass was as towering as a giant tree.

A speck of dust was as monumental as a mountain.

Jian Wushuang and his companions had extremely poor luck, as they immediately entered a forbidden area upon arrival.

In this place, a Special Life Form at the Fourth Tribulation was being held captive.

This Special Life Form was entirely silver, with a body as tough as iron, and emitted endless divine power.

The group could only flee.

Although Jian Wushuang had the strength to deal with this savage beast, there was no need to reveal his strength too early.

The journey had just begun.

At least wait until they reached the formal starting point before unleashing their full power.

Moreover, aside from the Special Life Form, there were no treasures in the forbidden area, and fighting held no meaning.

He remained calm, while the others were tense. “Wu Li, take Wushuang and Jincheng and leave first. Jiuhu and I will hold off this Special Life

Form. After an incense stick’s worth of time, we’ll meet at a canyon in the southeast direction, then head to the starting point of the boundless world!” Elder Muchen, as the team leader, quickly arranged a tactical plan.

Naturally, the priority was to protect the two Emperors first, then leave someone behind to hold off the enemy.

If Jiuhu were to take the two Emperors and leave first, he wouldn’t feel at ease.

So, he took the initiative to stay with Jiuhu and hold off the enemy together. Wu Li glanced back and said, “Be careful. With my speed, we won’t need an incense stick’s worth of time to create distance!” “Got it!”

A green flame erupted from Elder Muchen’s body,
