Jian Wushuang only needed to integrate it into his divine body to quickly break through his divine power to over 200,000-fold.

Perhaps even more.

He had never heard of anyone absorbing an entire Seven Tribulation realm divine body before.

Nor did he know how much it would ultimately elevate him.

After settling matters of face, Elder Muchen sat in the main seat, calmly sipping his tea. With solemnity, he said, “Brother Wu Li, today, on behalf of the Chen Clan, I’ve come to propose a marriage. How would you like to arrange this union?”

“Well, as you know, I only have one nephew. He’s been lonely since childhood, and after obtaining a great opportunity in the Outer Domain and being chased by others, he sought refuge in Yue Kingdom. Surprisingly, the young man caught the eye of the Princess. Since His Majesty favors this, how could we dare to object?”

Wu Li spoke humbly, elevating Elder Muchen and the entire royal family.

Almost making Jian Wushuang sound like a beggar.

“In that case, let me propose a bride price. Rest assured, it’s 1.8 million. It will be delivered immediately! As for the wedding day, let’s set it three years from now. How does that sound?” Muchen was also generous, knowing well what Jian Wushuang desired.

Standing behind Wu Li, Jian Wushuang, besides showing respect by serving tea and water as a junior, also listened to their conversation.

When he heard the sum of 1.8 million, his expression shifted.

1.8 million, if it was in universe crystals, wasn’t it a bit too little?

Elder Muchen could easily receive tens of millions of universe crystals during a grand birthday celebration.

This time, offering only 1.8 million was truly underestimating him.

Although he wasn’t a member of the Wu family, he still found this matter outrageous.

Clearly, they looked down on him!

He was marrying into the family, sacrificing himself for the royal clan.

When Wu Li heard this, his expression also darkened slightly, just like Jian Wushuang’s.

But he understood that these were trivial matters. The most important thing was the spot in the Sacred Assembly.

One couldn’t ruin the big picture over a small matter.

“Does it matter?” Wu Li probed, “I’ve heard that the envoys from the Ancient Wood Sect have arrived recently. I wonder how many spots Yue Kingdom managed to secure this time?”

Although Muchen had mentioned it during Jian Wushuang’s confrontation with Shi Jiu, he still needed assurance.

If there were no spots, it would be better to switch allegiances now.

Upon hearing this, Muchen reached into his pocket and pulled out a token from among the mustard seeds, smiling, “Brother Wu Li, take a look at this!”

Seeing the token, Wu Li’s expression softened, and he directly took it from Elder Muchen’s hand.

Two tokens.

One gold, representing the Tribulation Realm.

One silver, representing the Emperor.

Qualifications for the Sacred Assembly.

Already obtained.

One was for Wu Li himself, and the other was for Jian Wushuang.

“This—” Wu Li held the token, his face beaming with joy, as he handed the Emperor’s token to Jian Wushuang and tucked his own into his bosom.

“Brother Muchen, you’ve given me a great surprise today!”

The qualification for the Sacred Assembly, he had actually obtained it long ago.

Under normal circumstances, the royal family wouldn’t allocate spots to them.

But today, they were given a token for the Tribulation Realm’s Sacred Assembly.

In other words, the Wu family had gained an extra spot.

How could this not make Wu Li happy?

Although there were no suitable candidates for the Tribulation Realm in the current generation of the Wu family, Wu Li could sell this token for a high price!

It was definitely worth a fortune.

What’s a mere 1.8 million universe crystals?

Muchen smiled and said, “This token was given by His Majesty, considering the face of Wushuang’s nephew. You must cherish it!”

“No problem with that!” Wu Li assured, patting his chest.

He understood Muchen’s meaning.

Muchen could give him this token, but he needed to pull in a strong ally.

Empress Fengchen would also participate in this Sacred Assembly.

She needed help.

With the marriage alliance between the Wu family and the royal family, they naturally sailed on the same boat.

This token couldn’t be given lightly; it required finding a strong ally to assist the Empress in seizing the position of the Holy Maiden.

In doing so, the price would also decrease significantly.

Still, Wu Li was quite pleased.

He had originally planned to mobilize the power of his clan to search for a token qualifying for the Tribulation Realm, but now that wasn’t necessary.

Why wouldn’t he keep some cards up his sleeve for activating the Wanliu!

This token was like a divine aid!

Elder Muchen was also delighted. This time, their royal clan had obtained many tokens, which was quite unusual.

It was also to win over Jian Wushuang to the Wu family.

“In that case, I hope Brother Wu Li will also give us a surprise when the time comes!” Elder Muchen raised an eyebrow, seemingly disappointed, and said, “This upcoming Sacred Assembly is unprecedented; we must not be careless!”

Wu Li also followed up, “Everything has its own destiny. The Ancient Wood Continent is currently silent; it’s time to liven things up a bit. In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, we’re already at the bottom of the countdown!”

“It’s all the same. The most powerful era in the Ancient Moon Spacetime is always in the past. The Eight Tribulation realms of that era were truly abundant. The ancestors still reminisce about the fallen era when the Celestial Maiden perished. After her fall, like spring shoots after rain, numerous Eight Tribulation realm powerhouses emerged. Unfortunately, each generation is inferior to the last!” Elder Muchen’s face carried a nostalgic expression.

Jian Wushuang listened carefully from the side.

The fallen era.

It was what happened after the Celestial Maiden created the Ancient Moon Spacetime and then fell.

After the Celestial Maiden’s fall, as a powerhouse who had completed the Nine Tribulations, the paths she scattered forged a group of powerful Eight Tribulation realm experts.

These experts established the Ancient Moon Divine Sect, among which the strongest nineteen created nineteen eight-star sects.

The legacy continued through the ages.

Among them was the once illustrious Divine Wood King.

However, its strength was at the bottom of the list.

Because resources in the Ancient Wood Continent were scarce, with only the Wanliu Willow Divine Wood being relatively rare and special, unfortunately not under the control of the Ancient Wood Sect.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so poorly off, even compared to the Flame God of the Shi Kingdom.

In the current era, the Universe Masters of the Eight Tribulation realm are almost extinct.

There are probably only a few left in the entire Ancient Moon Spacetime.

Many have even left the Ancient Moon Spacetime.

For Jian Wushuang, this place was formidable.

But the Universe Masters of the Eighth Tribulation realm could see it.

The Ancient Moon Spacetime, like the strong of the Scattered Tribulation realm, has lost its vitality.

Staying here, one can only wait for death.

It’s better to venture into other temporal rivers.

The Nine Core Temporal Rivers, and the boundless Starry Sky.

That’s where they truly belong.

Tribulation Realm powerhouses shouldn’t be bound by the temporal rivers.

Of course, one must have the strength to venture out.

Someone like Jian Wushuang doesn’t need much mention, being just an Emperor.

Even for a Five Tribulation realm powerhouse, it’s very dangerous to venture into other temporal rivers.

They can only stay in the Ancient Moon Spacetime.

The despair of the Scattered Tribulation realm is such that they can only go into a slumber.

Their Origin Sources are severed, their vitality lost.

For those peak powerhouses, it’s a nightmare.

Ordinary Scattered Tribulation realm strongholds can still hold on.

But the Eighth Tribulation realm powerhouses can’t endure.

Many Eighth Tribulation realm powerhouses have fallen along with the universe.
