Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5512  Lu Hua's Struggle

Jian Wushuang was in a dilemma.

He debated whether to exchange his points for the Origin Source of All Things, fearing that it might be the only way to acquire the Beiwang Tower. However, if he purchased the tower, he would exhaust his opportunities for enlightenment.

It seemed like a bit of a loss!

Contemplating his options, Jian Wushuang sought a compromise, wondering if he could convert those enlightenment opportunities into something tangible.

But he was overly optimistic.

He couldn't calculate the exact number of opportunities, but the Emperor who guarded this place had more than enough.

Now, discussions were underway in the upper chambers of the Elder Palace.

They deliberated on who should report to Zhen Ling or whether reporting was necessary at all.

After all, the Beiwang Tower was a Supreme Universe Treasure, with a complete Origin Source of All Things—a rarity.

Although individuals couldn't possess such treasures privately, the countless divine stones and treasures collected annually from the Beiwang Tower were like a treasure trove, something akin to an annual windfall.

How could they possibly hand it over to Jian Wushuang?

Even if they agreed, Zhen Ling might not be willing.

"I think we should talk to Jian Wushuang first and make him understand our predicament," suggested Emperor Lu Hua. He didn't want to offend Jian Wushuang and certainly didn't want to lose this treasure trove.

Though OId Daoist Qingniu also held Jian Wushuang in high regard, when it came to his own interests, he chose the latter.

Interests outweighed everything.

"Tsk tsk, Lu Hua, considering that Jian Wushuang seems to belong to your faction, it's quite fitting for you to handle this!" sneered the Sword God Chang Feng.

He initially had no strong opinions about Jian Wushuang, thinking of him as a formidable Dao Lord but not one he had to go out of his way to recruit.

Looking at Jian Wushuang's performance in the Northern Watchtower, he had no choice but to lower his head and make amends. The relationship between Jian Wushuang and Wu Zuo was delicate.

He felt like he was always a step behind, but now, it was the perfect opportunity. Now it seemed he could have Lu Hua go talk to Jian Wushuang, avoiding any offense while making Lu Hua the villain. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qingniu's eyes shifted, understanding Chang Feng's intention.

Both remained silent, awaiting Lu Hua's agreement.

Emperor Lu Hua was taken aback. At this moment, he never expected someone would still be scheming against him.

The one with a good relationship with Jian Wushuang was Wu Zuo, not him.

"On this matter, there's no rush. Brother Wu Zuo is in the Earth Realm; we'll discuss it together when he returns!" Emperor Lu Hua passed this difficult problem to Wu Zuo.

With Wu Zuo absent, no one could refute.

Qingniu calmly said, "Brother Lu Hua, this matter can't be delayed!"

"Yes! Jian Wushuang's advancement is rapid, requiring many treasures. We can't keep dragging this on. If the temple learns about it, they might think our Elder Palace can't keep its word!" Chang Feng Sword God added, fueling the fire.

This made Lu Hua very embarrassed. He wanted to overturn the table and fight these two.

If you want to talk, go talk yourselves!

If they insist on dragging him into this, and they force him into a corner, he might as well agree to give Jian Wushuang the complete Origin Source.

Then, Beiwang Watchtower would be nothing but an empty shell. Let's see how they would explain to Zhen Ling.

They wouldn't dare report this matter to Zhen Ling.

No one wanted Zhen Ling to bear the blame.

They had witnessed Zhen Ling's methods.

If they handed this problem to Zhen Ling, and Zhen Ling couldn't wash their hands of it, their Elder Palace might be dismantled.

Don't forget, this Elder Palace was established single-handedly by Zhen Ling.

"It's just some precious treasures. Even if a Dao Lord has a great demand, it's not a big deal. I suggest we first offer some treasures to Jian Wushuang. When Wu Zuo returns, let Hall Master Wu Zuo discuss with Jian Wushuang!" Emperor Lu Hua firmly stated, showing no intention of personally approaching Jian Wushuang.

Seeing this, Qingniu and Chang Feng didn't have much else to say.

"I've been contemplating recently, and I'm afraid I'll have to seclude myself for a period. Lu Hua, handle these matters." Qingniu slowly stood up and left directly, clearly indicating an intention to avoid involvement.

Chang Feng frowned. He had originally planned to use this excuse, but unexpectedly, Qingniu took the initiative.

"By the way, there's a batch of ore in the extreme north mines that needs to be transported here. Since Wu Zuo is not here, I'll personally make a trip!" Taking advantage of the situation, Chang Feng found an excuse and left as well.

Now, Emperor Lu Hua was the only one sitting in the main seat, unsure of what to do!

"Too small-minded, too limited in vision! Emperor Lu Hua has seen through the tricks of these two."

Did they really think they could get away by hiding?

That was too naive. Jian Wushuang was no fool.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang had just left Beiwang Tower.

Inside the grand hall, many people were waiting for Jian Wushuang's appearance.

Seeing Jian Wushuang teleported out, many people looked at him with envy.

However, among these people, there were very few who had any real connection with Jian Wushuang.

"Wushuang Brother, long time no see. As soon as we meet, you give us a huge surprise!"

A refined female Emperor walked out, actively greeting Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang took a closer look, recognized the person before him, and without any arrogance, calmly said, "It's a bit sudden, Daoist Leng Shuang!"

The person in question was Daoist Leng Shuang, whom Jian Wushuang had encountered several times on the Original Planet Alpha Nine. Now, she had become Emperor Leng Shuang, a peak-level tier 4 Emperor.

Back then, her potential was much stronger than Si Tian.

The potential was, after all, just potential. To transform it into strength required a fair share of opportunities and determination, and clearly, she wasn't as adept in this regard as Si Tian.

After chatting with a few acquaintances, Jian Wushuang departed the area with Dongsheng and Wanyan.

"Let's go, today, let's have a meeting at my cave mansion. I happen to have some peculiar treasures!" Jian Wushuang was in high spirits.

He did indeed gain quite a few treasures from Wu Zuo.

Some strange flowers and fruits, along with Wu Zuo's collection of fine wine.

This time, breaking through Beiwang Tower, his gains were substantial.

Setting aside the original rewards, his significant breakthrough in the Extreme Dao, mastering the Power of Life, was more important than anything else.

The Origin Source of the Universe?

Mere external objects!

After becoming the Universe Master, did he still care about that?

Of course, he would still claim what was rightfully his.

The points earned this time were enough for him to exchange for the complete Origin Source of All Things.

On Fenyang Island, he celebrated with Dongsheng and Wanyan, then sent them outside the valley.

He possessed the Life power, which could actually help them recover, but Life power was his trump card, and he wouldn't easily reveal it.

Unless it became common knowledge, only then would he assist friends in recovering their divine bodies and Origin Sources.

Recovery in this valley was much faster than elsewhere.

Originally, the Origin Source of All Things could rapidly restore divine bodies and origins, not to mention the current Life power.

"Wushuang, you don't need to see us off. Go attend to your matters!" Wanyan smiled.

Dongsheng also added, "You're quite popular now. There are probably many tier 6 Emperors willing to befriend you. But don't forget us. When you prosper in the future, you must take care of us!"
