Chapter 5685: Shi Jiu

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“In the Shi Kingdom, there was a prodigy named Shi Jiu, with formidable strength,” Muchen expressed his concern.

Jian Wushuang furrowed his brows slightly. If even Elder Muchen was acknowledging someone’s strength, it definitely warranted serious attention.

However, Wu Li seemed even more confident than Jian Wushuang.

He patted his chest assuredly, saying, “You can rest assured, Brother Muchen. Since we’re all here, let me be straightforward. My nephew may have struggled in the Outer Domain, but his strength is unquestionable!”

“Have either of you heard of the Fifth Young Master of the Shi Family?” Muchen didn’t respond to Wu Li directly but instead mentioned a prominent figure from the neighboring country.

Upon hearing this, Wu Li pondered for a moment before exclaiming, “Are you referring to Shi Xiu from the Shi Kingdom?”

“Yes, precisely!” Muchen nodded. “The prodigy from the Shi Kingdom is his grandson.”

This time, even Wu Li furrowed his brow. “His grandson? Why haven’t I heard of him?”

“I just found out myself. He has an illegitimate child, who happens to be Shi Jiu’s father! This information is known to very few, a friend of mine just told me,” Muchen shook his head with a sigh.

If it weren’t for the royal family needing a son-in-law, he would have been quite interested in the prodigy from the Shi Kingdom.

That was Shi Xiu!

In the Shi Kingdom, he was a truly influential figure and a backbone of the royal family.

The reason why the Shi Kingdom could dominate over the Sixteen Kingdoms in this era, even rivaling powerful sects like the Ancient Wood Sect, was because of this influential figure.

He was a Universe Master at the Half-Step Seven Tribulation realm.

In the future, he was the most promising figure in the Ancient Wood Continent to advance to the status of a Universe Master at the Seven Tribulations Realm.

Seeing Wu Li’s expression, Elder Muchen lifted his teacup, took a sip, thinking he had startled Wu Li.

This piece of news had indeed stunned Wu Li, who immediately sent a private message to Jian Wushuang.

“When we go to the palace later, let’s be extra cautious. His background is too significant for us to afford to offend!”

If Elder Muchen had heard this, he might have been utterly flabbergasted.

After all, this was Shi Xiu’s grandson. Although Shi Xiu had many grandsons, with the bloodline of a Half-Step Seven Tribulations Realm powerhouse like Shi Xiu, how weak could they be?

Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but feel that Wu Li was overestimating him.

Under normal circumstances, he would be outmatched without using the power of the Beast God.

He had experienced the true divine power of the princess, with a staggering force of 130,000-fold.

For the princess of the Shi Kingdom, who was so devoted, the opponent’s divine power would probably be around 150,000-fold.

He would need to exert twice the power of the Beast God just to suppress his opponent.

To defeat them, he would need three times the power.

In the Qishen Temple, only the Tribulation Realm could allow him to exert such power.

An Emperor, becoming so formidable.

The Kingdom of Yue wouldn’t tolerate an Emperor of such strength.

“How about it, are you confident?” Elder Muchen straightforwardly asked, “Jian Wushuang, can you reach 130,000-fold divine power?”

Jian Wushuang also understood Muchen’s intentions. Immediately, he stood up and unleashed the power of the Beast God within him.

Buzz!

His base divine power, from white flames, directly transformed into dark red, soaring from less than 100,000-fold to 130,000-fold.

By utilizing the power of the Beast God, he could now reach 130,000-fold divine power.

If he used double the Beast God power, it would be 160,0000-fold.

The limit of three times would reach 200,000-fold.

This was his current peak under normal circumstances.

If he were to use the power of the Starry Sky and employ the Eternal Ancient Transformation, it wouldn’t be comparable in terms of divine power.

After all, he was a practitioner of spacetime, and he had already gained recognition from time.

If he were to use the Eternal Ancient Transformation, it would arouse suspicion from outsiders.

He refrained from using his full power if he could help it.

His peak divine strength was sufficient among the Emperors.

At the peak, he reached the standard combat power of the Three Tribulation Realm.

Throughout the ancient moon spacetime, only the Great Divine Official mentioned by Wu Li possessed the combat power of a Three Tribulation realm Universe Master.

As long as his luck wasn’t too bad, he wouldn’t encounter an Emperor as eccentric as that.

Sensing that Jian Wushuang’s divine power exceeded 130,000-fold, Muchen nodded in satisfaction, not particularly surprised.

The fact that Wu Li could produce such precious treasures meant he definitely had some strength; otherwise, the treasures would have been given away for nothing.

“Nephew, with this level of strength, I can rest assured. However, I must make something clear beforehand. I have three people prepared within the palace now, regardless of whether they win or lose, it has nothing to do with Jinchen. You can rest assured about this. However, I don’t have much confidence in those three either. The main thing depends on you!” Muchen revealed a bit of his bottom line to the two.

Wu Li chuckled, “They’re all our own nephews. It won’t be long before we become relatives by marriage!”

With the matter settled, the three didn’t linger and left the Wood King’s Mansion directly, heading for the palace.

The Kingdom of Yue, the palace.

It was high above the clouds in the royal city.

Ordinary people couldn’t even see what the palace looked like.

Jian Wushuang followed Muchen’s guidance to reach the main gate of the palace; otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to find the door.

No wonder he couldn’t sense the powerful individuals inside the palace when he entered the royal city.

Now, outside the gate, he could feel a faint pressure.

The aura was majestic!

“Your Highness!” The guards at the gate were all formidable figures of the Tribulation Realm.

Such grandeur.

Guided by the attendants, Jian Wushuang and the others entered the imperial palace.

Only after entering did Jian Wushuang truly understand the power of the Tribulation Realm.

What they saw here resembled the peak era of the Moro Spacetime.

Although the Qishen Temple claimed to inherit the ancient Moro Spacetime, it paled in comparison to this place.

In the Eastern Palace, within the Crown Prince’s residence.

Smack!

Inside the Dongsheng Hall.

Princess Jincheng had reverted to her true appearance, the maiden Jian Wushuang had seen.

At this moment, Princess Jincheng, in front of the Empress, smashed the pillar in the hall with a single palm.

“I won’t marry anyone except him!” Princess Jincheng’s temper flared, unstoppable by anyone.

Empress Fengchen furrowed her brows, glaring at Jincheng, and angrily shouted, “You won’t marry?”

“I won’t, even if I ascend to the throne, I won’t marry anyone!”

Swish!

The Empress’s figure instantly appeared before Princess Jincheng, and with a flick of her hand, she delivered a slap because her words had touched the Empress’s limit.

The sound was crisp.

Princess Jincheng froze, staring at the eyes so similar to Empress Fengchen’s, watery and teary.

“You hit me!” Jincheng couldn’t believe it.

Her mother, though cold to others, had never treated her like this.

Empress Fengchen coldly said, “You won’t take the throne?”

She wanted to burst into laughter.

Countless eyes were fixed on the throne of Yue Kingdom.

Once seated, the royal family would have access to abundant resources. With Princess Jincheng’s potential, she would soon reach the Three Tribulation realm and command the universe.

But in the later stages, countless resources would be needed.

These resources, only the royal family could afford in Yue Kingdom, but even if they could afford it, it depended on the person.

Becoming the Imperial Emperor of Yue Kingdom naturally gave one that qualification.
