Chapter 5814: Ancient River

Once he departed, it was only natural that he would stir up pursuit from various quarters.

“Alright, let’s go. Many teams have already set off into the Infinite Great World, and we’re among the slowest batch!”

Jian Wushuang nodded and kept pace with the others, heading towards the assembly point at full speed.

Regardless, they weren’t the slowest.

There were still powerful beings from the Celestial Wolf Clan waiting for them!

But upon reaching the assembly point, Jian Wushuang realized that the Celestial Wolf Clan’s elites had already departed.

In other words, those from the Celestial Wolf Secret Realm had voluntarily abandoned Kuilang and Tanlang.

Presumably, Tanlang had transmitted the news back to the clan.

The strongest force among the Fourth Tribulations had been crippled, and there was no need to wait any longer.

Although Tanlang was still present, using innate secret techniques, it would take some time for him to recover.

It was inevitable to abandon them.

These discarded elites would be deemed failures and teleported away.

The assembly camp.

It was just a small city hastily built around an ancient teleportation array.

By now, there weren’t many powerful beings left.

Jian Wushuang followed the head of the Li family into a large courtyard where the empress had been waiting for some time.

Elder Muchen had also returned to his peak state.

“Now that everyone is here, let’s set off!” The Empress had already examined the pre-scouting map of the North Pole Icefield.

This time, her wait had been worthwhile.

Even if they were currently behind other teams, they could still surpass them eventually.

Just as Jian Wushuang caught his breath, he followed the empress once again through the teleportation array, truly entering the outskirts of the Infinite Great World.

But this time, there was the Empress herself overseeing the operation.

There was no need for him to carry the banner of resistance anymore.

They were relatively fortunate this time, as they were transported to the banks of an ancient river.

Although the river was inhabited by many wild beasts, fortunately, this place wasn’t some ancient relic.

There weren’t many hindrances.

Even when encountering wild beasts with 500,000 divine power, the Empress could easily slay them with a flick of her wrist.

It was almost like cutting through air.

Moreover, the Empress brought out an ancient boat, and everyone boarded it while she personally took the helm, leading them smoothly.

After a journey of a hundred days, they had already reached the depths of the periphery.

This speed probably ranked within the top three.

In a little while longer, they would reach the innermost part of the Infinite Great World.

That’s the central position.

During these days, Jian Wushuang also managed to recover the Life force he had lost.

Finally catching his breath after much difficulty.

He sat on the deck, enjoying a cup of tea with great contentment.

Four experts at the Fourth Tribulation took turns monitoring the surroundings.

Even the Universe Masters at the Third Tribulation patrolled the ancient boat.

Only the Emperor was the most relaxed.

The four Emperors hardly had anything to do, except for Jian Wushuang, who was resting in the cabin.

At this moment, there was no mood for cultivation.

Not only were they traveling, but they were also awaiting news.

The assessment of the Sacred Assembly was not merely about traversing the Inifinite Great World.

They also had to undertake many tasks.

Completing these tasks would earn them special treasures, only usable by the candidates for the Holy Maiden.

Once the candidates for the Four Holy Maidens were selected,

Then the special treasures obtained by other teams would become useless.

At this point, the candidates for the Four Great Holy Maidens would spare no effort to purchase these special treasures.

It was also a way to compensate those teams that weren’t selected.

This could be considered a significant gain.

However, after such a long time, the Ancient Wood Sect still hadn’t assigned them any tasks.

It’s unclear whether it was due to their bad luck, not being assigned, or some other reason.

Nevertheless, even so, they still had an advantage.

With the advance map marking the route to the treasure trove, they could acquire quite a few treasures.

So the Empress wasn’t in a rush for the mission, just focused on hurrying along the road.

To enter the North Pole Icefield early, that’s where the battle would take place.

On the deck, the Empress stood at the bow of the ship.

After Elder Muchen made a round of inspection, he reported the situation on both sides of the ancient river to the Empress and then withdrew.

“Wushuang, you seem relaxed!” Elder Muchen came to the table, not bothering with formalities, and sat down directly, pouring himself tea and drinking.

Jian Wushuang shook his head and said, “There’s no time for relaxation. The last battle left behind many hidden dangers, and I’ve just recovered to my peak now!”

“Indeed, speaking of the last time, I have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I might have perished!” Elder Muchen picked up his teacup, and he and Jian Wushuang drank a toast with tea instead of wine.

Just as the two were chatting, the ancient ship began to shake.

Elder Muchen’s face instantly turned serious.

“That damned dragon, why has it suddenly returned!” Elder Muchen’s expression changed drastically when he sensed that aura.

Jian Wushuang was surprised. “Dragon? There’s a dragon in this river?”

He didn’t know anything about it.

Elder Muchen only discovered the dragon while patrolling the banks of the ancient river.

But according to his estimation, that dragon should have gone ashore to lay eggs.

Why did it suddenly come back?

Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but feel astonished at Elder Muchen’s reaction!

From the aura, Jian Wushuang deduced that the opponent possessed at least the strength of the Fifth Tribulation.

Their divine power was no less than 600,000.

This level of strength shouldn’t pose much of a problem for the Empress!

Moreover, seeing the Empress standing so calmly at the bow of the ship, there shouldn’t be any major issues.

Jian Wushuang stood up and looked down at the surging river below, curious about the strength of the dragon.

At that moment, Wu Li rushed out of the cabin and, seeing Jian Wushuang still gazing down at the river, quickly transmitted, “Be careful, Her Majesty’s true body isn’t on the ancient ship. That dragon is a big trouble!”

“What?” Jian Wushuang looked incredulously at the Empress’s back.

Then he glanced at Wu Li, first shocked, then showing a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

The Empress’s true body wasn’t on the ancient ship.

That meant the Empress standing at the bow of the ship was just a projection.

And he had no idea about it from start to finish.

He had no idea, yet Wu Li knew.

It was quite strange.

But now wasn’t the time to dwell on that; self-preservation was paramount.

“Master Li, stabilize the ancient ship first, and everyone else, into the cabin!” Elder Muchen didn’t care about the Empress’s projection and began giving orders to everyone.

Master Li, at this moment, also understood, inwardly cursing, but still complied.

Now that everyone was on the same boat, the Empress didn’t say a word, her true body left, without any prior notice.

It was really hard to swallow.

And it seemed that only one Universe Master of the Fifth Tribulation remained.

The others had all followed the Empress outside.

Jian Wushuang followed Wu Li directly into the cabin, ignoring what was happening outside.

When disaster strikes, the tall ones take the hit.

This time, he wouldn’t foolishly rush out again.

After entering the cabin, Jian Wushuang dared to communicate with Wu Li.

From him, Jian Wushuang learned about the Empress’s whereabouts.

“Stealing dragon eggs!”

“A special mission?” Jian Wushuang cautiously communicated.

Wu Li nodded.

“Whose mission?”

“Jiuhu!”
