Chapter 5627 Inheritors!

Above the bow of the ship still hung the grand flag of the Vermilion Bird Temple.

“Jian Wushuang!” A woman clad in crimson battle armor exclaimed upon seeing the sudden appearance of a powerful figure on the deck.

Hearing her call his name, Jian Wushuang turned to look and, recognizing a familiar face, smiled faintly. “Zhu Qi!”

This large ship was designated for the selected inheritors of the Vermilion Bird Temple.

Only by boarding this warship could they traverse through spacetime and enter the Grave God Mountain.

Despite the Grave God Mountain being seemingly close, even someone like Jian Wushuang couldn’t fly there directly.

Only by riding the corresponding treasure could one enter the Grave God Mountain.

This was because the spacetime of the Grave God Mountain and the God’s Tomb did not align.

They appeared to be together only to the naked eye.

Jian Wushuang was fortunate to encounter a warship carrying recently selected inheritors on their way to the Grave God Mountain.

Surprisingly, the familiar figure commanding this warship was Zhu Qi.

It was Zhu Qi who had once delivered him to the Demon Sound Mountain.

It seemed there was still some unresolved relationship between him and Shan Jun.

“What a coincidence, Envoy Zhu Qi!” Jian Wushuang smiled faintly.

In the blink of an eye, he had far surpassed Zhu Qi.

Those Envoys of the Four Temples were nothing more than ordinary puppets left over from refining the Four Temple Masters.

Although they possessed Seven Orifices Linglong Heart, their combat power was far inferior, merely at the level of a tier 5 Emperor.

Now, Jian Wushuang could easily tear them apart with a casual strike.

“How come you’re here?” Zhu Qi stood up and walked directly to Jian Wushuang, questioning him.

As she approached, Jian Wushuang could clearly see symmetric cracks on her face, and he couldn’t help but be surprised by Shan Jun’s taste.

However, since she asked, he answered honestly.

Upon hearing that Jian Wushuang was also heading to the Grave God Mountain, Zhu Qi wasn’t surprised. Instead, she inquired about Shan Jun’s situation.

Once the words left her mouth, she regretted them a bit.

She felt that Jian Wushuang’s aura was quite weak, only at the level of an ordinary Emperor. Asking seemed equivalent to not asking at all.

After all, she had always been in the Vermilion Bird Temple of the Original Realm, and her knowledge about Jian Wushuang was limited. She had only heard that he was an invincible Dao Lord.

On the deck, thousands of Inheritors noticed the sudden appearance of a stranger. Judging by the looks, he seemed to be acquainted with the Envoy from the Vermilion Bird Temple. They were all curious.

These youngsters included Dao Lords and Grand Yan Immortals.

Curiosity about the present situation led them to gaze over.

When they heard the name Jian Wushuang, they were momentarily stunned.

Then someone exclaimed, “Invincible Dao Lord, Jian Wushuang?”

Even though they had undergone trials in the Black Tortoise Temple’s grand world, some of their predecessors had long entered the Qishen Temple, holding respectable positions. In the past, they might not have been able to enter the Black Tortoise Temple.

However, with the emergence of the Temple of World Annihilation, the Black Tortoise Temple changed its usual practice.

Not only did it provide numerous puppets to aid the Azure Dragon Temple’s conquest, but it also incorporated many of these puppets into the ranks of the outstanding talents.

Among these individuals, there were those who had witnessed the magnificence of Jian Wushuang.

They passed down the word to their juniors, saying that when entering the Grave God Mountain in the future, they shouldn’t aim to surpass Jian Wushuang. As long as they could reach the realm achieved by Jian Wushuang after their Dao Merge, it would be sufficient.

Jian Wushuang possessed supreme-peak strength. If these young ones could all become supreme-peak figures in the future, it would indeed be commendable.

The difficulty of the Tribulation Realm was immense. It had been an entire epoch, and despite the countless resources poured down by the Qishen Temple, not a single Tribulation Realm expert had emerged.

It was easy to imagine the level of difficulty involved.

Hence, until now, reaching the supreme-peak was considered the pinnacle.

The external world was no different.

The supreme-peak represented super-strong individuals, rarely falling. The Temple of World Annihilation had few supreme-peak experts, and throughout the long conflict, they had yet to see the fall of a supreme-peak figure. The most casualties were among Dao Lords and ordinary Emperors.

Each conquest in the universe started from the bottom, gradually escalating to battles among super Emperors.

In a typical cosmic conquest, when a tier 6 Emperor participated in the battle, it was considered a massive event, prompting discussions even within the Qishen Temple.

Not to mention the supreme-peak.

Therefore, for a considerable period, the supreme-peak would stand atop the temporal river, unless a large number of formidable beings from the Tribulation realm appeared.

But currently, that seemed unlikely.

As the Temple of World Annihilation descended, Mie Sheng had never appeared. Similar to Zhen Ling, to sustain the operation of the Temple of World Annihilation, one had to embody myriad forms.

Now, consider Jian Wushuang at this moment.

Upon hearing Zhu Qi’s inquiry, a tremor crossed his countenance, and his face flushed for a moment.

His current strength indeed allowed him to retrieve Shan Jun, who was originally suppressed in the Second Prison. However, Shan Jun was no more; he had been taken away by Mie Sheng.

“I apologize for the matter concerning Shan Jun!” Jian Wushuang clasped his hands in apology.

If it had happened a bit earlier, perhaps he would have succeeded.

Yet, even if he had succeeded, he couldn’t prevent Mie Sheng from taking someone away.

He could only wait until he finished the Dao Merge and then find a solution.

He had indeed accumulated quite a bit of karma now.

Although without the karma of killing and calamity, he was free from the consequences, it still needed to be repaid.

Zhu Qi’s eyes flickered, suppressing the sorrow within.

She shook her head, pretending to be composed, “It’s okay, it’s not your fault. You probably haven’t merged with the Dao yet!”

Sensing Jian Wushuang’s awkwardness, Zhu Qi quickly changed the topic.

She knew that Shan Jun valued Jian Wushuang, so she also had a favorable impression of him.

Seeing this, Jian Wushuang felt even more uncomfortable. It seemed that he was indeed too useless.

But it was true.

He couldn’t protect anyone.

“This time, heading to the Grave God Mountain is preparation for merging with the Dao!” Jian Wushuang said calmly.

Zhu Qi nodded, encouragingly saying, “With your strength, merging the Dao shouldn’t be difficult. Moreover, your Dao Heart is exceptionally strong now. You will definitely succeed. Don’t let down those who can’t return!”

Those who can’t return!

Jian Wushuang’s eyes also welled up with tears.

Yes!

He couldn’t let down those who couldn’t return.

Those who had once helped him all hoped for him to become incredibly powerful, and he couldn’t disappoint them.

“I will,” Jian Wushuang nodded solemnly.

There was a glimmer in Zhu Qi’s eyes. Her own strength was too weak to save Lord Shan Jun, so she could only place her hopes on Jian Wushuang.

After saying these words, without further ado, she left the deck.

She also informed Jian Wushuang that it would take an hour to traverse time and reach the Grave God Mountain.

Just an hour. Jian Wushuang naturally wasn’t in a hurry, standing on the deck’s bow, staring at the turbid void. Meanwhile, his body within the Origin Source continued its constant cultivation.

Although he had achieved perfection in all aspects now, it didn’t mean he could stop practicing.

He dared not halt his deep study of the Dao Merge, not for even a moment.

The failures in the future allowed no room for any room for error.

Failure was not an option!

As he silently cultivated, several Inheritors who had not yet been to the Grave God Mountain gathered around.

However, they all felt that Jian Wushuang’s aura was extraordinary. Even though he had restrained it somewhat, there was still a trace of the Emperor’s presence.
