Chapter 6376: Ancient Demon Palace

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jian Wushuang naturally didn’t get angry, nor did he blame the other party, because he hadn’t planned on refusing.

The reason he got close to Ziyu was to find an opportunity through her to explore the Ancient Domain.

Finding his own path required both risk and luck. Although this place might not be of much help to him, it was still better than nothing.

Moreover, he discovered that his body needed to constantly devour treasures, or it would gradually weaken.

This was one of the major drawbacks of the Realm Beast physique.

It required continuous absorption of energy, and this massive expenditure was something he couldn’t currently afford without treasures.

In the future, when he became an Immortal, the consumption of divine power would also need to be replenished with treasures.

That’s why he came here with her.

Originally, he thought it would be a minor opportunity or adventure, but to his surprise, luck was on his side. True Lord Xueyang had discovered the Ancient Demon Palace—a chance so immense that even Dao Lords would be tempted!

Encountering such a great opportunity was something he, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, had to treasure.

However, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, it wasn’t appropriate for him to speak out in front of everyone, so he remained silent, though his expression showed his astonishment.

This prompted Ziyu Fairy to send him a concerned voice transmission.

Though he wanted to go, he didn’t want to seem overly eager, so he replied cautiously, “Fairy Ziyu, what do you think about this? If you go, I will go too!”

Jian Wushuang spoke with a serious and solemn tone this time.

Earlier, in Ziyu’s eyes, he had always appeared carefree and unruly, but now, with this demeanor, his words warmed her heart. Still, she continued to advise him, “I can tell your strength isn’t weak, and you must have encountered great opportunities yourself. I understand that you’re stuck at the threshold of immortality, but there’s no need to take unnecessary risks. You’ve cultivated for a short time, so you might not know what kind of place the Dual-Faced God Palace is. It’s a living hell. Even if we aren’t discovered by the strong cultivators of the Dual-Faced God Palace, reaching the Ancient Demon Palace that True Lord Xueyang mentioned is incredibly dangerous. If we’re caught, no one will be able to save us. You’re still young; there’s no need to push yourself so hard. Why not stay at my residence for now? After this, I can introduce you to a super existence among the immortals, and I’m sure you’ll become an Immortal Zhen Xian in no time!”

Her words were spoken with sincerity and responsibility, and Jian Wushuang was moved.

If he were an ordinary person, this would be an incredibly tempting offer. To be introduced to a Seventh or even Eighth-step Immortal Zhen Xian—many Nascent Soul cultivators would dream of such an opportunity but never have the means to attain it. Yet, Ziyu, whom he had only known for a short time, was willing to make that connection for him. She was undoubtedly a benefactor in his life.

But he was Jian Wushuang!

He wasn’t an ordinary person!

“Fairy, there’s no need to persuade me further. I understand the gravity of this situation. If True Lord Xueyang dares to go, I’m not much weaker than him, so I can naturally go as well. If I want to become a super strong cultivator, I can’t afford to be timid!” Jian Wushuang’s tone was firm.

These were words from his heart. To become a super strong cultivator, one couldn’t fear danger.

Even if the road ahead had a ninety-nine percent chance of leading to death, one still had to walk it.

If one succeeded, they would naturally surpass ninety-nine percent of their peers.

Danger and reward were proportional.

His exchange with Ziyu Fairy reflected the feelings of everyone present.

At present, only True Lord Wu Hou expressed his willingness to go.

The others hesitated.

Old Man Tian Can was speaking with a lot of flowery words, but his meaning was clear—he was probing the risks involved and questioning the details of the Ancient Demon Palace.

Just because True Lord Xue Yang said it existed didn’t mean it truly did.

After all, it was the domain of the Two-Faced God Palace, ruled by the Two-Faced Buddha. If the Ancient Demon Palace really existed, how could it be True Lord Xue Yang who discovered it?

How did he discover it, anyway?

If this were an ordinary place, no one would ask, because everyone had secrets!

But this time, it was different. It concerned their very lives.

Once discovered, they would undoubtedly perish.

At that time, no one would be able to save them.

The Two-Faced Buddha was a superpower on par with True Lord Xue Yang’s elder brother.

And the key issue was that this man was notoriously fickle, showing no regard for anyone. Even True Lord Xue Yang would not escape if things went wrong.

“Young friend Xue Yang, I think we need to deliberate more on this matter. It’s too risky. Without substantial reward, I believe entering would be nothing short of courting death!” Old Man Tian Can continued to debate the benefits.

If there were valuable treasures within, he would naturally be willing to take the risk.

For example, if there were an opportunity that could allow him to make five strides forward on the Origin Source path and become a Dao Lord, that would indeed be worth the risk.

Jian Wushuang was also waiting for his response.

The treasures on him weren’t many, and now he had to think about the future. Having just entered the Ancient Territory, he indeed needed to take some risks to gather treasures for security.

Though he had obtained many treasures in the Crimson Eye Realm, few were of immediate use.

Most of True Lord Ye Huo’s treasures had been given to Xiang Yang and the others. As for the Life Seeds, he had consumed only a few, while most had been given to Jiang Ni.

Jiang Ni was the daughter of Jiang Shang, which was an undeniable fact.

Moreover, this Jiang Shang was the Jiang Shang of the Heavenly Maiden Time-Space.

Although their memories were shared, their cultivation abilities were different.

The Jiang Shang of the Heavenly Maiden had also walked the path of life.

This path of life also stemmed from the Divine Willow Tree.

Therefore, Jiang Ni, influenced by her mother on a life level, had gained the most from absorbing the Life Seeds. Naturally, the majority of the Life Seeds were given to her.

Jiu Chen and Xiang Yang were quite ordinary.

Here, “ordinary” referred to their talents.

Fortunately, after Xiang Yang entered the Nascent Soul stage, he recovered the original inheritance from his soul’s consciousness. Now, following his previous path, things were progressing smoothly. He came from a prestigious family, and during his time in the mortal realm, he had access to the finest resources. However, now he seemed to have regressed, not even as strong as he had been during his mortal years.

As for Jiu Chen, he was even worse off. Originally a spirit body, though he now had a physical body, he lacked cultivation experience and relied entirely on Jian Wushuang’s support.

This old fellow, if Jian Wushuang didn’t get him some benefits, even he wouldn’t be able to stand it.

It must be known that Jiu Chen had traveled to nine great worlds.

These worlds weren’t mortal realms but otherworldly dimensions.

The final world was in the Heavenly Fire Domain of the Ancient Territory.

The first eight worlds were all in different dimensions. With Jiu Chen’s experience, Jian Wushuang could later venture into these worlds to gather treasures.

Now, his physical body could unleash a power surge a thousandfold, making it incredibly strong. But it still required treasures for maintenance, or else the life level would degrade.

That would affect his combat strength.

Currently, he relied entirely on his physical combat prowess.

Although his Ultimate Sword Dao had been acknowledged by the Origin Source, it still fell short compared to the body of a Realm Beast, as the Origin Source’s amplification would only come into play after achieving immortality. For now, his combat strength was quite weak.

However, his Extreme Dao remained as formidable as ever, already allowing him to grasp the mysteries of all things and maintain his strength.

What he lacked now were physical treasures. As for improving his Origin Source, he hadn’t even found a new path yet, so there was no rush.
