The remaining guards were only at the absolute peak, with divine power reaching fifty thousand.
However, this person's divine power fluctuation was exceptionally strong—he was a Rogue Tribulation!
A Universe Master who had failed to overco the Tribulation.
At least a Fifth Tribulation Realm.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to recognize the uniqueness of the Tianyuan Yellow Lotus.
It seed that the other party didn't recognize the Life Lotus either; he only thought the Tianyuan Yellow Lotus was extraordinary, especially after seeing Jian Wushuang take out the Tianyuan Holy Water.
This aroused his suspicion.
"Boy, you're too clever for your own good!" The hook-nosed man sneered. "Considering that you brought out the Tianyuan Holy Water, I'll let you go this ti. Leave now, and don't let see you again!"
Leave?
With a re thought, Jian Wushuang used his thought power to snatch the Tianyuan Yellow Lotus from the shopkeeper's hands and casually threw out the seven million Universe Crystals he'd just received.
"You're courting death!"
The hook-nosed man was furious and struck out instantly.
Jian Wushuang wasn't one to back down.
A vine shot out from his wrist, piercing straight through the old man's chest.
"You're the one seeking death!"
He had been more than courteous already.
Offering the Tianyuan Holy Water to the other party before buying the Tianyuan Yellow Lotus.
Seeing the situation escalate, the shopkeeper hastily tried to diate. "Gentlen, please, no need to fight! I have plenty more Tianyuan Yellow Lotuses!"
At this point, he still hadn't realized the gravity of the situation, thinking it was rely a squabble.
Jian Wushuang, hearing this, imdiately said, "I'll take them all!"
He wanted to test his luck.
What if the remaining Tianyuan Yellow Lotuses were also Life Lotuses?
"Boy, you're too greedy!"
Breaking free from the vine's grasp, the hook-nosed man shouted angrily, "Do you even know who you're ssing with?"
"Uncle Zhang, no need to waste words on him. I've already inford the family; powerful reinforcents will arrive soon. He won't be able to escape!" Chen Shengwu's face was dark with frustration.
He hadn't expected Jian Wushuang, a re Dao Lord, to be so audacious, using force to buy the lot in broad daylight.
Seeing the dark red vine wrapped around Jian Wushuang's arm, Chen Shengwu was even more astonished.
It had injured his protector!
"Looks like you all have a death wish!" Jian Wushuang chuckled bitterly. He had intended to keep a low profile, but when absolute interests were at stake...
He wouldn't back down.
Upon seeing that the newly retrieved Tianyuan Yellow Lotuses were of average quality and just ordinary, Jian Wushuang wasn't disappointed. He casually put them away and tossed out another ring.
He then prepared to leave.
The hook-nosed man tried to stop him but was effortlessly flung aside by the Gui Yun vine.
Jian Wushuang walked away openly.
With a flash of his figure, he disappeared into the streets.
He reappeared atop the city walls monts later.
Now wasn't the ti to enjoy the scenery.
Instead, he ventured into the Ancient Star Territory.
Swoosh!
On the mountain peak.
Jian Wushuang carefully took out the Life Lotus.
Holding it gently in his hands.
"With this Life Lotus, along with the treasures I've gathered, it will be enough to help refine the seventh cycle!"
"Afterward, I'll delve into comprehending the fifth tal tablet!"
With his mind made up, he began absorbing the Life Lotus.
The Origin Source that had been dissipating slowed its pace.
Absorbing the treasures took only a few breaths.
The most troubleso part was cultivating the Secret Art of the Divine Eye.
After accelerating ti, it took several years of cultivation to fully combine the treasure with the secret technique.
"Whew!"
He let out a long breath and said bitterly, "Still not enough. If only I had another Life Lotus!"
But such a good fortune wasn't easy to co by.
He then took out the fifth tal plate.
Following the blueprint carefully, his gains were significant.
It would take him quite so ti to digest it all.
However, his Origin Source was depleting even faster.
This rate of depletion had now reached a point where he could clearly feel it.
According to what Gagarin had said, his days were numbered.
If he didn't pick up the pace, he would truly beco an empty shell.
Leaving the Ancient Domain Star, he once again stood atop the city wall. Only an instant had passed in the outside world.
He began to examine the cultivation insights left on the city wall.
Ordinary people's insights were useless to him.
What he was interested in were the rumors left behind by Jiang Haichao.
After inquiring with a nearby cultivator, he arrived at a beacon tower atop the city wall.
There stood a tower, and on the wall below it, there was an eye carved into the stone.
This was the insight left by Jiang Haichao.
He imrsed himself in it.
There was indeed so value.
However, it wasn't much.
Especially regarding the insights on the Secret Art of the Divine Eye, which were pitifully few.
There was also a bit of insight on the Sixth Rotation.
He didn't need that.
As for the Seventh Rotation, there was only one word: "Life."
Carefully pondering over it, he realized it contained quite a bit of information.
"It's a pity there's only one word. If I had the entire set of insights, how wonderful that would be!" Jian Wushuang felt a tinge of unwillingness in his heart.
Hmm?
His eyebrows twitched as he spotted a hidden secret within the writing.
It was a small hidden ssage embedded within.
"Seek life, forget death, the serpent spirit will erge. The boundless Origin Spirit will once again walk the earth."
A poem!
Child's play, really.
Its aning was simple.
To seek life, one must forget death. The appearance of the serpent spirit, however, was a bit strange.
Jian Wushuang didn't dwell too much on it.
The boundless Origin Spirit probably referred to the Origin Spirit Sect.
"Is there sothing wrong with the Origin Spirit Sect?"
"Or perhaps within the Origin Spirit Sect, there lies sothing about the life of the Seventh Rotation?"
Jian Wushuang's mind raced. Looking at the last sentence again, "Walk the earth again!"
"Could this be Jiang Haichao talking about himself?"
If that were the case, it was indeed arrogant. But not surprising, considering he held the top position across the Nine Regions of Space and Ti. Saying such a thing wasn't necessarily boasting.
"Looks like I'll have to visit the Origin Spirit Sect!"
As Jian Wushuang was contemplating, a powerful aura suddenly descended.
Accompanying it were several familiar presences.
"Hm?"
He turned his gaze to the city wall.
At the forefront was a pale, hawk-nosed elder.
Beside him stood a woman in plain robes, her skin smooth, the hem of her skirt fluttering gently. Her face was cold, and her eyes held stories untold.
Her aura resembled that of Chen Shengwu, indicating she was likely also from the Chen family.
Jian Wushuang hadn't expected this group to find him so quickly.
Shaking his head with a sigh, he muttered, "Trouble!"
"Boy, you're dead today. How dare you lay a hand on soone from the Chen family in Chaos City!"
Chen Shengwu sneered, "Today, I'll show you just how fearso the Chen family is!"
"Auntie, this is the brat who snatched the treasure I was about to buy from a shop earlier. He even injured Uncle Zhang!"
The cold-faced woman raised her brow slightly, casting her gaze upon Jian Wushuang.
His entire cultivation was laid bare to her.
"Little one, you're just an Immortal, yet you managed to injure Protector Zhang. Is it because of the vine wrapped around your arm?"
As soon as she spoke, Jian Wushuang's skin prickled with goosebumps.
It had been a long ti since anyone had called him "little one."
Taking a deep breath, he replied leisurely, "Little girl, you're quite pretty. Why speak with such a pretentious tone?"
"Impudent! How dare you speak to the Saintess like that?" the hawk-nosed elder bellowed, "This is the Chen family's matriarch and the Saintess of the Origin Spirit Sect. Just for that one remark, you deserve to die ten tis over!"
Jian Wushuang spread his hands indifferently and said, "Then co on, make your move."
He didn't care at all.
The vine would protect him!
"Heh, you've got quite a temper for a little one," Chen Qingling chuckled softly, "But I'm not here for revenge. I just want to see the vine wrapped around your arm."
