Legend of Swordsman

....

When he first entered the trial of the Qingyun Sect, he, with the talent of an Emperor, erupted with 90,000-fold divine power, showing astonishing potential, not weaker than some of the core disciples within the sect.

With the added relationship with Wu Li, he was nurtured as if he were a trusted confidant.

Many internal matters were left for Jian Wushuang to handle.

Even the matter of taking concubines was managed diligently by Jian Wushuang.

Now, on the occasion of a grand celebration, Jian Wushuang couldn’t afford to neglect it.

So, according to the information provided by Wu Li, he came to the Shenji Hall to find the Elder Mu Chen for the usual Hundred Flowers Vine.

This plant grows within the borders of Yue Kingdom, not particularly rare, but obtaining it could be somewhat troublesome.

However, for Jian Wushuang, none of this posed a problem.

“The Hundred Flowers Vine?”

Upon hearing this name, the person behind the counter revealed a look of surprise and cautioned, “Don’t blame me for being meddlesome, but the Hundred Flowers Vine is not simple. Even Tribulation Realm experts find it hard to obtain. Why not buy some ready-made instead?”

But Jian Wushuang insisted repeatedly, and the other party didn’t say much more, simply handing over some information about the Hundred Flowers Vine.

“All the information about the Hundred Flowers Vine is here, take a look at your leisure!”

In the eyes of the other party, Jian Wushuang also had a background, and those like them who could enter the Shenji Hall were all from prominent families.

Naturally, Jian Wushuang was treated equally.

If it were just an ordinary steward with no background, they might have given him a hard time but offered some benefits.

Jian Wushuang smiled, thanked them, copied the information from the jade slip, and left the Shenji Hall.

After leaving the Shenji Hall, he headed straight for his cave dwelling.

It was located on the waist of Mount Li within the Qingyun Sect, in a position that didn’t attract much attention.

On the entire mountain, there was only his cave dwelling.

The spiritual energy here was average, not attracting other stewards.

Jian Wushuang was quite satisfied with this place because of its seclusion.

After entering the cave dwelling, he directly activated the prohibition array.

Then, he took out a simple and ancient mirror.

With a light touch, a faint figure appeared above it.

“Brother Wu Li, this time Elder Muchen will go to the capital to celebrate his birthday. It’s a rare opportunity!” Jian Wushuang couldn’t contain his excitement in his heart.

After planning for thousands of years, the first step was about to be taken.

The figure of Wu Li in the mirror looked grim. He wasn’t particularly concerned about Elder Muchen’s matter and reminded, “I recently lost contact with someone from the Ancient Wood Sect. There might be some big moves happening soon. Be careful in everything!”

“That’s where Muchen is!” Jian Wushuang exclaimed, surprised. “It’s been such a long time, it would be a waste to give up now!”

Now, he was feeling somewhat hesitant.

Muchen was the prince of the Yue Kingdom’s royal family, the current Empress of Yue, and also his younger sister.

What’s more crucial, the current Crown Princess is seeking a consort!

Moreover, that Crown Princess’s strength is formidable, almost sweeping through the entire realm of the Yue Kingdom’s Emperor level.

She is the most hopeful candidate from the Yue Kingdom to compete for the position of the Holy Maiden in the Ancient Wood Sect.

Wu Li and Jian Wushuang were keen on each other because of this point, which led them to curry favor with Muchen.

Although Elder Muchen’s strength was only average, having a good younger sister, whose strength reached the Half-Step Six Tribulation realm, made her one of the top superpowers in the Yue Kingdom.

After all, the Qingyun Sect currently didn’t even have a true Six Tribulation realm, only scattered strong individuals with the power of the Six Tribulation realm.

Moreover, that Crown Princess, having grown up without a father, was well taken care of by Muchen, and the two had a very good relationship.

If it weren’t for this relationship, given Muchen’s strength, Jian Wushuang wouldn’t even bother with her.

After hearing this, Wu Li pondered for a moment before saying, “Muchen’s birthday celebration this time will be held in the capital. We’ll go together then, and I’ve already figured out a plan!”

After the two agreed, they severed contact.

Everything was under control.

However, Jian Wushuang didn’t inquire about the plan in detail, figuring they would discuss it when they met.

But the general strategy seemed somewhat clandestine.

To become a consort wouldn’t be a loss for him, but he had heard that the Crown Princess was rather robust.

He was afraid he couldn’t handle it.

For the sake of opportunity, he had to give his all!

With a determined bite, Jian Wushuang prepared to go and search for the Hundred Flowers Vine.

Yue Kingdom, Border Province Capital.

This place was located to the south with a lot of mountains and forests.

It wasn’t surprising; in the Ancient Wood Continent, opportunities entirely covered the mountains and forests.

The earth was flourishing.

The Hundred Flowers Vine grew on the Hundred Flowers Mountain in the Border Province.

Jian Wushuang tore through the void, and after a day’s effort, he arrived at the Hundred Flowers Mountain.

This time, he went all in. The Hundred Flowers Mountain was guarded by flower demons, among which were those at the Tribulation level.

The Hundred Flowers Vine withered day by day.

At most, it could be prolonged for three days.

That’s why this place hadn’t been divided by major forces.

The main reason was the strength of the Flower Demon King on the mountain.

It was rumored to be on par with Four Tribulation. Even the Universe Masters would detour when they came.

It wasn’t easy to take, and with the vine withering every day, if luck wasn’t on one’s side, by the time the Hundred Flowers Vine withered, one might not even have left the Hundred Flowers Mountain.

The Hundred Flowers Mountain was divided into six layers.

The lower three layers were fine, with few Tribulation Realm flower demons.

But the upper three layers were almost all inhabited by flower demons.

As for the Hundred Flowers Vine, it wasn’t the only treasure on the mountain.

Jian Wushuang needed to reach the fourth layer to find the Hundred Flowers Vine. If he wanted to time it right, he needed to enter the fifth layer.

There was still a month left until Muchen’s birthday celebration.

He needed to sneak into the fourth layer and wait in the dark.

When the time was right, he would then proceed to the fifth layer.

Once he found the Hundred Flowers Vine, he had to leave immediately and arrive in the capital before the first withering, at the peak speed, he could reach it in an hour.

The only variable was going down the mountain.

Flower demons dwelled on the Hundred Flowers Vine. If stolen, it would surely attract pursuit.

Wanting to descend the mountain within a day, even Jian Wushuang didn’t have much confidence.

After all, this was the territory of the flower demons.

If it were just a single Three Tribulation realm flower demon, he would have the ability to escape.

But there were quite a few Three Tribulation realm flower demons in the fifth level.

Even that Flower Demon King occasionally ventured into the fifth level.

If he encountered that one, it would be all over.

In a short time, he definitely couldn’t free himself.

If push comes to shove, he could only use the power of Life.

These flower demons probably couldn’t comprehend the uniqueness of the power of Life.

Of course, he also feared that there were other cultivators here who could see through it.

Now, he also had a rough understanding of the Ancient Moon Spacetime.

Wu Li was able to see the special nature of the power of Life from the Jueyun Sword because Wu Li originally had the jade sword. Others might not necessarily be able to see it.

“Why is this old guy so fixated on this!” Jian Wushuang shook his head helplessly.

It made him extremely passive now.

In fact, the Hundred Flowers Vine wasn’t particularly special.

The Hundred Flower Vine could enhance divine power and be used to refine divine pills, but these could also be achieved after withering.

The most precious aspect of fresh Hundred Flowers Vine was its ability to nurture the Origin Source divine power.

It contained the pure source of plants and trees, which could make divine power extremely vigorous.

Divine power differed from the Origin Source.

To maintain vigorous divine power continuously, what was needed wasn’t just secret techniques and realms, but more importantly, the nourishment of treasures.
