Chapter 5258: I Have No Reason Not to Fight

“Don’t be too disappointed,” Qiuhuang said, trying to comfort Jian Wushuang when he noticed his disheartened expression. “That old guy was driven crazy by his identity as the Divine Craftsman Envoy. He’s been trying to create Eternal Treasures every day, but in the end, he only managed to produce some imitations. Now, he’s delusional enough to attempt rebuilding the Beast God Weapons. It’s not a funny joke at all!”

But Jian Wushuang didn’t share Qiuhuang’s perspective.

The old man with the sheep’s horns wasn’t as pitiful as Qiuhuang portrayed him to be.

Jian Wushuang had no idea if the Beast God’s consciousness resided in the Candle Dragon Wings. Perhaps Qiuhuang knew, or maybe it was the influential figure called ‘Zhu Yi’ who was aware.

For them, the Grand Yan Immortals, it was unlikely they had been given such a treasure. If there truly was a Beast God consciousness, they would have to let the Emperor contemplate it thoroughly.

If they could gain some insights from it, the breakthrough might occur in the origin source itself.

Bestowing such treasures upon the Grand Yan Immortals like them was simply a waste.

If it turned out there was no consciousness, at least the item could slightly increase his speed. It was somewhat useful for a Grand Yan Immortal like him who hadn’t gained recognition from the origin source yet.

As for the Emperor, its utility was limited to speed enhancement, not much of a significant difference. If that was the case, it made sense to provide such items to the Grand Yan Immortals.

However, within the Candle Dragon Eye, there was a Beast God consciousness embedded within it. Jian Wushuang was certain of this fact, something Qiuhuang didn’t know and couldn’t discern.

But the Divine Craftsman Envoy, the old man with sheep’s horns, could see it.

He noticed the difference between the Candle Dragon Eye and its Wings, which gave him the courage to speak up and assist in their fusion. He had to gather five types of heaven-earth origin sources, all for the purpose of merging a strand of spatial origin source.

Qiuhuang was right about this.

“So, what do you think? Are you ready to exchange now?” Qiuhuang asked nonchalantly, legs crossed. After his patient and detailed explanation, he was convinced that Jian Wushuang wouldn’t go through with the exchange.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed once again. Jian Wushuang slightly bowed, his expression calm.

“Senior Qiuhuang, thank you for guiding me out of my confusion!” His words were extremely respectful, emanating from the depths of his heart.

Regardless of how he had been deceived before, this time, he gained substantial insights and began to trust the old man with horns even more. At the very least, he now understood the old man’s obsession with the secret treasures. This knowledge would drive him to help the old man wholeheartedly in merging the Beast God Weapons.

Even though it was a crazy endeavor!

But if everyone else was going crazy, what excuse did he have not to join in the madness? It was just 400 ,ooo treasure points. He could afford to gamble.

With the final water crystal origin source and the eleventh wave of attacks from the Devouring Demon, he was confident he could defend himself. He also believed he could capture all five heaven-earth origin sources.

Straightening his body slowly, Jian Wushuang looked at Qiuhuang with respect in his eyes.

“As long as you’ve made up your mind,” Qiuhuang said with a faint smile.

Jian Wushuang’s response was surprising.

“I have made up my mind!” His tone was resolute and unwavering!

“I will still exchange for the four great heaven-earth origin sources. Since Senior Yang dares to gamble, I see no reason why I shouldn’t take the risk.”

Qiuhuang’s expression changed, and he seemed about to erupt in anger. However, he appeared to remember something and ultimately didn’t say anything.

“Very well!”

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

The four great heaven-earth origin sources, along with the tokens, flew towards Jian Wushuang.

“Thank you, Senior!” Jian Wushuang carefully collected these original sources into his boundless world and expressed his gratitude once again respectfully.

Qiuhuang reminisced about the past, sighing, “I really can’t understand people like you. Back then, there was someone just like you, but he took an even bigger gamble.”

Determination!

This was something he had never quite understood.

When he was weak, he thought determination meant wholehearted cultivation. He believed he had achieved that, but when he saw other cultivators, he couldn’t comprehend their determination.

Was determination really about abandoning oneself and wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao?

Jian Wushuang watched Qiuhuang deep in thought, unsure whether he should leave directly or interrupt his thoughts with a farewell.

Fortunately, Qiuhuang only seemed lost for a moment. He eventually sighed and asked a surprising question, “Young fellow, you practice the Ultimate Sword Dao, but why don’t I see you with a powerful sword?”

A sword?

This time, Jian Wushuang sighed in response!

He wanted one too!

But he hadn’t encountered a suitable one yet. Even if he had the opportunity to exchange for one, he had no interest in nurturing a sword.

“In response to Senior, this junior has not yet encountered a suitable divine sword, and my strength is still in the rising period. I have no interest in nurturing a sword,” Jian Wushuang replied honestly.

Qiuhuang’s mind stirred, and he continued, “I see! Well, you have to work harder. You’ve caught the attention of a certain influential figure, so you will have a sword. There’s no need to rush the exchange. Qishen Temple is not as rigid as you might think.”

Jian Wushuang was surprised. Not as rigid as he thought?

And some influential figure was interested in him?

Could it be that he, like Hu Qing, had received a blessing from Qishen Temple?

Qiuhuang, however, saw through his excitement and immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

“Of course, don’t get too hopeful. Everything comes with a corresponding price.

Just try to endure it until the end! You’ll understand when the time comes.”

After feeling some enlightenment, Jian Wushuang didn’t say much and quickly bid farewell and withdrew.

The cost, the final resistance.

It seemed the cost was indeed substantial, requiring him to withstand the 19th and final wave.

He had confidence in the 11th wave, but of course, he needed to assess the undisclosed ten waves of attacks from the Devouring Demons before making a decision.

If the gap was too significant, he might reconsider.

A mere sword wasn’t worth it.

The Ultimate Sword Dao!

With no sword in hand, he had no fear; as long as there was a sword in his heart, it was enough!

As he just stepped out of the Treasure Hall, he saw Hu Qing and Ji Chaoyang conversing with Dao Lord Leng Shuang in the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

When they spotted Jian Wushuang, they waved eagerly.

“Brother Wushuang, you’re incredible! You managed to suppress Si Tian like crazy, and even put me in sixth place!” Ji Chaoyang, as always, lacked grace, excitedly explained their situation defending the northern city wall.

Hu Qing filled in the details he missed.

To Jian Wushuang’s surprise, these two had become living Bodhisattvas on the northern city wall.

Starting from the fifth wave, it was the two of them resisting the Devouring Demons. They would first kill a large number of them before letting the weaker Grand Yan Immortals take over.

This was a great deed for the weaker ones but a great evil for the stronger ones.

Did Hu Qing not know the story of sheep and wolves? Yet, he allowed Ji Chaoyang to do as he pleased. Was he not afraid of rebellion?

But seeing Ji Chaoyang’s excited expression, Jian Wushuang didn’t want to dampen his spirits and just made a few perfunctory remarks.

When he greeted Dao Lord Leng Shuang, Jian Wushuang was still polite.

Now, upon closer inspection, Leng Shuang Dao Lord did resemble someone he knew from the past.

However, ever since he realized the Heart power, his heart seemed to have died, becoming indifferent to everything that had happened before.

Perhaps it was the result of the strong seed finally blooming, or perhaps it was simply forgetfulness.

Dao Lord Leng Shuang’s voice was clear as she asked, “How did it go? You obtained so many treasure points. Did you exchange them for treasures?”

Ji Chaoyang chimed in, “Yeah, Brother Wushuang, what treasures did you exchange for? I used my entire wealth to exchange for a spatial treasure this time. I’m afraid it won’t be long before I break through..”
