Legend of Swordsman-Chapter 5680 - Gift

Chapter 5680 Gift

Feeling the surge of power and hearing the mention of 400 flower seeds, many couldn’t help but gasp, simultaneously speculating about Jian Wushuang’s intentions, or perhaps Wu Li’s intentions.

….

Jian Wushuang, an Emperor, bringing out such treasures; many believed it was a gift from Wu Li, attributing it to Jian Wushuang.

This segment of Hundred Flowers Vine, if auctioned at this moment, could definitely fetch a price of 3 million universe crystals.

But if three days passed, it would be worth at most 300,000.

Such a grand gift was rarely seen even from Emperors of the Tribulation Realm.

Yet here it was, brought out by Jian Wushuang, an Emperor—nobody would believe it.

Princess Jincheng, sitting beside Muchen, couldn’t help but show a hint of hesitation upon seeing it.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the same vine she had been outmaneuvered for on Hundred Flowers Mountain.

Looking at Jian Wushuang, she narrowed her eyes.

While others might think that this item was obtained by Wu Li and sent out in the name of Jian Wushuang, Princess Jincheng felt that there was more to it.

The terrifyingly powerful Universe Master of the Five Tribulations, perhaps.

Elder Muchen’s eyes gleamed with excitement; he hadn’t expected such a grand gift from Wu Li.

But recalling the words Wu Li had said to him a few days ago, he began to understand.

After today’s banquet, they could have a chat.

“Such a precious treasure, Nephew Wushuang, you’re too courteous!” Muchen didn’t just verbally agree this time; he personally stood up and toasted with Wu Li and Jian Wushuang.

With so many people watching, it wasn’t appropriate to say much more.

Wu Li naturally understood and pulled Jian Wushuang back to their seats.

Back at their seats, Jian Wushuang could feel many eyes on them.

These people had their own calculations in their hearts.

The Kingdom of Yue was seeking a son-in-law, a matter that many had their eyes on.

Now, it seemed that Wu Li had set his sights on this matter as well.

The birthday celebration proceeded smoothly.

As for the Emperors of the Three Tribulation realm, they were peers with Muchen, and their numbers were considerable.

There were over a hundred strong individuals of the Three Tribulation realm who came to congratulate.

Among them, more than half were Universe Masters.

Only a small portion were scattered Tribulation Realm individuals.

Scattered Tribulation Realm strong individuals represented those who could not advance further. Their strength and status would decline significantly. There was a considerable gap between them and individuals like Wu Li, a Half-Step FOur Tribulation realm Universe Master.

Apart from these people, the rest were Four Tribulation realm strong individuals. 𝗳𝗿𝖊𝖊𝖜𝖊𝖇𝗻𝐨𝖛𝖊𝖑.𝗰𝐨𝗺

Regardless of being Universe Masters or scattered Tribulation Realm cultivators, Four Tribulation realm individuals had a much higher status than those of the Three Tribulation realm.

Even though Mu Chen’s background and status were high, there were still few who came.

Those who came were either from the royal family of Yue or Four Tribulation realm strong individuals from the Qingyun Sect.

In total, there were six people.

The treasures they presented, though unique, were not of too high value.

The fact that they came was already the greatest face for Muchen.

However, Jian Wushuang noticed one thing: each of these Fopur Tribulation realm strong individuals brought along their family juniors or their own direct disciples.

Although all were Emperors, their strengths were impressive, each being very formidable.

Moreover, they intentionally or unintentionally recommended their own juniors.

Before Jian Wushuang could react, Wu Li transmitted a message to him to explain.

“Wushuang, my friend, pay attention to these people later. Their strength is not a concern, but their backgrounds are complicated. Like us, their aim is the same, all for the Crown Princess!”

Wu Li’s face held a smile as he looked towards Jian Wushuang, nodding.

Soon enough, Jian Wushuang understood.

This wasn’t for Muchen’s benefit; it was for the Empress.

The birthday banquet was just a facade, actually meant for seeking a son-in-law.

It seemed the rumors were true.

The Yue Kingdom was indeed serious about seeking a son-in-law, and they were eager to make it happen.

This was probably related to the future position of the Saintess.

The strength and talents of the Empress of the Yue Kingdom would certainly lead her to participate in the Sacred Assembly, aiming for the position of the Holy Maiden.

Once she ascended to this position, the Yue Kingdom’s status would rise significantly.

At that time, there would be a need for someone to inherit the position of Empress.

Currently, the Crown Princess was a very suitable candidate.

For a future Empress, seeking a son-in-law was normal.

And the son-in-law couldn’t be too powerful.

It wasn’t about strength but about background.

They couldn’t marry someone with a powerful background. Strength didn’t matter; as long as they were of the same level, even if they were stronger than the Crown Princess, it wouldn’t be an issue.

The throne relied on imperial authority.

And imperial authority was the foundation of the Yue Kingdom, along with those slumbering scattered experts of the Tribulation Realm.

Jian Wushuang’s current identity and strength were both suitable.

On the surface, his combat power might be lacking, but as long as he reveals some of his strength at crucial moments, there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

He also observed the Emperor prodigies sitting among them.

The strongest among them was just the young master of a prominent family in Yue, incomparable to the royal family of Yue.

As for his combat prowess, Jian Wushuang thought it was just average, nothing too impressive.

Among these people, his status couldn’t be considered lowly, but it wasn’t at the bottom either.

Backed by the Wu family, he was also considered a prestigious family.

Ignoring his true strength, just his current tenfold basic divine power put him ahead of these people.

Over the years, Wu Li’s layout seemed to have some effect.

He had unknowingly been drawn into this vortex of contention.

Some of the Emperor prodigies beside him also cast unfriendly glances his way.

It seemed everyone had the same goal in mind.

Jian Wushuang remained calm, sitting still as if he were above it all.

The birthday celebration was nearing its end as these people began to withdraw.

Now, only the Empress remained silent.

Everyone was waiting expectantly.

But they dared not meet the Empress’ gaze directly, instead, they waited silently for her to speak.

“On this day of my brother’s grand feast, I also wish my brother a breakthrough in the cultivation realm, advancing beyond the Four Tribulation!” The Emperess suddenly spoke, and the atmosphere warmed up.

Muchen quickly stood up and respectfully accepted the treasure bestowed by the Empress.

This time, he didn’t let servants take it!

While the Empress was his true sister, for the sake of the stability of the imperial power, everything had to be orderly, leading by example to inspire others.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Muchen bowed and graciously accepted the treasure.

The birthday celebration came to an end.

Next, it was time for official matters.

Muchen first interacted with various parties, expressing the intentions of the royal family of Yue.

Of course, he wouldn’t speak the truth, even if everyone understood, it couldn’t be said directly.

“Ladies and gentlemen, on this day of my birthday celebration, I take this opportunity to announce the engagement of the Princess to a worthy suitor. I hope all esteemed nephews will not feel constrained!” he said, patting the broad shoulder of the Princess, indicating for her to rise.

Although the Princess already had someone in her heart, she complied when she felt a piercing gaze.

Some Emperors, unaware of the truth, couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable upon seeing the Princess’s reaction.
