Legend of Swordsman

Dongsheng did not hesitate and directly entered the Divine Pillar.

Below, Gu Qianluo gritted his teeth, seething with anger and frustration in his heart, “They ranked me ninth, just wait, I’ll show you what happens when you underestimate me!”

He intended to make a stunning debut!

If it weren’t for being in the God’s Tomb, he would have unleashed some divine power to show these people just how powerful he really was.

Unfortunately, he never imagined that even the ninth position of the Divine Lord would not be his.

Instead, it went to a second-generation Inheritor.

Among the ten Divine Lords, Jian Wushuang and his group were definitely going to occupy eight positions.

The remaining two spots, one went to a strong contender from Qishen Temple, “Xin Jiu”. The other was naturally chosen from the second-generation Inheritors.

And this candidate surprised everyone.

It was a very young Inheritor who had reached the Sixth Tribulation realm only recently.

He had not made any significant moves since reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm, so few knew his true strength.

Speaking of which, this person had some connection to Jian Wushuang.

Though the connection was not significant, it was more related to the person’s mother.

“Gong Miaoyi!”

When he appeared, Jian Wushuang felt an invisible force of karma.

Back then, he had broken Gong Miaoyi’s heart, and now her son had grown so much.

However, after entering Qishen Temple, he did not sense Gong Miaoyi’s presence.

There was no portrait of Gong Miaoyi on the mountain either.

But he was certain that Gong Miaoyi had already fallen.

Her son, named “Gong Ming”, was the most talented Universe Master Qishen Temple had seen in nearly 100,000 eras.

Since his birth until now, which was just 100,000 eras, he had already become a Sixth Tribulation Universe Master.

However, after becoming a Sixth Tribulation Universe Master, he remained in the Grave God Mountain. He did not belong to Shang’s faction, nor was he a strong contender of the Four Temples and Yuanyang Palace.

He was a direct subordinate of Zhen Ling.

Of course, this also had to do with his background.

Jian Wushuang could see the story in him, fearing it was another tragic end.

Regardless, the ninth Divine Lord came from the second-generation Inheritors.

Even if he did not belong to any faction, this fact could not be changed.

Gu Qianluo was on the verge of madness, being ranked behind a young kid.

Xin Jiu was one thing; despite being a Sixth Tribulation Universe Master, he had at least killed peers of the same level, earning some respect. Plus, Dongsheng ranked just above him, which was not too humiliating.

Now, things had changed.

Seventh was Xin Jiu, eighth was Dongsheng, and ninth was Gong Ming, a Universe Master who had cultivated for 100,000 eras and not long ago broke through to the Sixth Tribulation realm. He also ranked above him.

He was not convinced!

He was truly not convinced.

But he couldn’t argue with juniors over this and could only prove himself through future achievements.

The position of the tenth Divine Lord was no longer in doubt.

Naturally, it belonged to Gu Qianluo.

No one cared what Zhen Ling had to say anymore.

This time, Zhen Ling was much more succinct, directly saying, “Gu Qianluo, this last pillar is yours. I made you the finale; you won’t blame me for that, right?”

He didn’t forget to strike a blow to his confidence.

Gu Qianluo could only show a faint smile and said calmly, “How could that be? I am a person without merit, bearing the title of Divine Lord makes me feel ashamed, so how could I care about the order of things!”

“Haha, that’s good!” Zhen Ling laughed heartily, not paying further attention to him.

Who would have the nerve to protest such things!

One can only swallow the bitterness.

Actually, it’s just a case of inner vanity wanting to compare.

If it were Jian Wushuang, he certainly wouldn’t care about this.

The position of Divine Lord was established.

Next was to plan the expedition.

Everyone had returned, and the great battle was about to commence.

Shang, who had been standing nearby, saw Zhen Ling’s signal and stepped forward to announce, “Three days from now, the major Temple Masters and Hall Masters, along with the newly appointed ten Divine Lords, will gather here to discuss the expedition. The rest of you should prepare; we will attack the Temple of World Annihilation soon!”

Upon hearing this, countless people were filled with battle spirit.

They had been stifled for too long over the years.

They had long wanted to battle the Temple of World Annihilation, but without Zhen Ling’s command, they couldn’t leave and had to wait in frustration.

Today, that day had finally arrived.

With Shang’s announcement, the crowd began to disperse.

However, Jian Wushuang and others stayed where they were, unsure of where to go.

At this moment, Xin Jiu stepped forward and respectfully said, “Thank you, senior, for your guidance many years ago. Xin Jiu will never forget it!”

“You don’t need to thank me. Your achievements today are due to your hard work!” Jian Wushuang didn’t expect Xin Jiu’s accomplishments to be so high. Back then, he merely thought Xin Jiu had great potential. Unexpectedly, upon returning this time, Xin Jiu had already become a Universe Master of the Sixth Tribulation.

And he had even killed peers of the same level.

If Jian Wushuang hadn’t crossed the Seventh Tribulation before returning, he would have

nearly been on the same level as Xin Jiu.

This indeed exceeded his expectations, showing Xin Jiu’s greater effort.

This brought to mind the scenes from the future when he traversed in the Mahayana Spirit

Mountain.

In the future, when he failed in merging paths, it was Xin Jiu who protected and redeemed

him all the way.

In fact, their debts to each other were already settled.

He chatted with Xin Jiu on equal terms for half a day before being called away by Shang,

leaving reluctantly.

The discussion about the Temple of World Annihilation three days later made the Four Great Secret Realms bustling, with everyone eager for action.

However, treasures were scarce!

At this time, the treasures brought by Wu Zuo came in handy.

Jian Wushuang also took the opportunity to gather a lot of Life force and brought out his

treasures.

He gave almost all the treasures that were of no use to him to Zhen Ling.

This instantly expanded the treasury of Qishen Temple.

Previously, there were only over ten thousand types of treasures, but now there were tens of

millions.

The treasures collected by Qishen Temple were actually not much.

Even the so-called treasures of time and space were due to Mie Sheng’s influence, obtained from the Heavens.

Ordinary treasures were quite a lot. After all, Qishen’s strength was not weak back then, and

he had collected nearly all the treasures of Moro Spacetime, allowing Qishen Temple to

cultivate so many Universe Masters.

Of course, it was also related to the downstream spacetime.

But eventually, treasures would run out.

Over the years, without Zhen Ling’s frugality, they would have been begging for food.

Fortunately, Wu Zuo had foresight and gathered a batch of treasures early on.

Now they were put to good use.

This made Zhen Ling very happy, gratified, and said, “My judgment was indeed correct back

then, to have accepted you as a disciple!”

Wu Zuo was also very pleased, he enjoyed this kind of praise.

Jian Wushuang took the opportunity to find Gong Ming, who had been appointed as the ninth

Divine Lord.

After all, he was a descendant of an old acquaintance, so he had to take care of him a bit.

Anyway, he had nothing else to do these days. Those he wanted to visit had mostly fallen. “Senior!” Gong Ming, noticing Jian Wushuang approaching, quickly bowed respectfully. He was obedient and showed no arrogance of a genius.
