Chapter 5898: Dao Guardian
He wanted to enter the Wanliu Willow to challenge the Tribulation realm.
Now, after becoming the Universe Master, he didn’t actually yearn for the Wanliu Willow Divine Tree that much.
Mainly because of Jiang Shang.
He wanted to see what secrets were hidden within the Wanliu Willow.
But now, things had changed.
Lord Hengmu had turned hostile, so he wasn’t prepared to enter the Wanliu Willow again.
Instead, it was Divine Wood King who pointed him towards a different path.
He was initially tempted, but given the current circumstances, he no longer desired to enter the Wanliu Willow.
Not to mention the two powerful beasts by Lord Hengmu’s side.
Let alone that old monk, Wu Li’s father.
His divine power surpassed even the peak Divine Wood King by a thread.
He truly didn’t have the confidence to contend with these old guys.
At least not now.
Perhaps if he advanced further, there might still be a chance.
Now, it all depended on what these big shots were planning!
Anyway, he couldn’t reverse the current situation.
As the ruler of the Ancient Wood Continent, Divine Wood King exuded the aura of a natural king. Regardless of how powerful the old monk was or how eccentric his personality, it didn’t matter.
After assessing the current situation, he took the initiative to step forward.
“Since you all claim to have escaped from within the Wanliu Willow, you probably have no interest in it anymore. Why don’t I send you away to see the sights of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands? Isn’t that wonderful?” He addressed this to the old monk and the two great beasts, excluding Lord Hengmu.
Lord Hengmu had to stay.
This was his bottom line.
Except for the two great beasts who might obstruct, the old monk probably wouldn’t intervene.
As expected, it played out just as he had anticipated.
The old monk chuckled, “Hehe, you talk sweetly, kid. I like it and I agree! I won’t set foot in the Wanliu Willow again!”
The term ‘kid’ was particularly grating.
It irked Divine Wood King.
He was the first Eighth Tribulation powerhouse of the Ancient Moon Spacetime.
Even the first-generation Pope of the Ancient Moon Sect had no right to address him so casually.
If it weren’t for the bigger picture, he would have smashed the old monk’s teeth in.
Didn’t they realize he had more power than that!
He indeed possessed the peak strength of his former glory.
But his peak now surpassed his peak back then.
Who didn’t have a few cards up their sleeves?
Understanding the other’s character, Divine Wood King decided to endure it.
Moreover, there were still matters he could make use of from the old monk.
“Since Dao Friend also thinks the same, why don’t we join forces? If I slaughter Lord Hengmu,
it will also free the other two friends!” After Divine Wood King finished, he looked towards Zuo Yehui and You Yenbai.
These two great beasts were troublesome.
Difficult to defeat.
If Lord Hengmu relied on the two great beasts to escape, it would be challenging for him to pursue.
The old monk nodded again and agreed, “You’re right, everything you said is right!”
With that said, Lord Hengmu chuckled.
He understood the old monk the best.
The more he said so, the less likely they would cooperate.
“Divine Wood King, you really think too simplistically. Do you even know the true identity of this old monk?” Lord Hengmu couldn’t help but sneer, “He’s a guardian of the Dao, a guardian of the force of Life. If I’m not mistaken, you’ve tied Jian Wushuang. Do you think this old guy will cooperate with you?”
Lord Hengmu couldn’t contain his laughter, clutching his stomach.
He thought Divine Wood King was both foolish and naive.
Jian Wushuang in the sky heard this and couldn’t help but feel delighted.
He had originally thought Wu Li had lucked out finding a father figure.
But it turned out his luck was even better, as he had just stumbled upon a Dao Guardian for
free.
This luck finally smiled upon him.
He had witnessed the old monk’s strength with his own eyes.
He was definitely a peak expert of the Eighth Tribulation.
With this person guarding him, he could traverse the entire Ancient Moon Spacetime
unimpeded.
He didn’t need to bother with Wanliu anymore!
He could just return home directly, go back to Qishen Temple, deal with Mie Sheng, it was all just a matter of time.
No matter how many tricks Mie Sheng had up his sleeve, how powerful he was.
In the face of a peak expert of the Eighth Tribulation realm, what could he amount to?
Wu Li, behind the old monk, was also stunned when he heard the truth, then he looked towards Jian Wushuang in the sky.
He had thought he had latched onto a big shot, but he hadn’t expected this big shot to be Jian Wushuang’s Dao Guardian, which left a bitter taste in his mouth.
But being alive was enough.
And now he had become the Universe Master of the Sixth Tribulation realm, which was
already quite satisfying.
He had no more interest in Wanliu.
For a moment.
The only one still entangled with Wanliu on the scene was Divine Wood King, and the treasure
inside Lord Hengmu’s body.
That wasn’t even the main concern.
The key issue was that now it seemed like even Jian Wushuang couldn’t be handled.
The old monk slowly rose into the air, pointing at Lord Hengmu and saying, “You brat, you’re
quite right!”
Then, in a flash, he appeared beside Jian Wushuang, waving his hand to send the 9 Grand Elders of the Ancient Wood Sect and the 18 Core Elders flying, completely separating them from Jian Wushuang and the others.
It was at this moment that the old monk’s expression became serious, his aura calm as he walked towards Jian Wushuang through the air.
Behind Jian Wushuang, Danbao was a little afraid, and Elder Blu stood directly in front of
Danbao.
The two of them found it hard to understand what these people were saying.
They just felt the old monk’s aura threatening them, so they were a bit panicked.
At this moment, Jian Wushuang’s face was full of joy, unable to contain his happiness.
He noticed that Elder Blu and Danbao were somewhat flustered, so he quickly reached out to comfort them, saying, “Don’t be afraid, we’re all on the same side now, we’ve got someone to
rely on!”
After finishing speaking, he approached the old monk voluntarily. Although he knew the other party was his Dao Guardian, he still maintained respect for the powerful.
Lord Hengmu in the valley was somewhat displeased, but this was the reality, and he could
only accept it.
He had thought that having the old monk under control would make things easier, but it turned out that Jian Wushuang had obtained a Guardian for free, causing trouble for himself. He also possessed innate Life force, so why wouldn’t the old monk become his Guardian? Thinking back to when he left Wanliu, the other party had looked down on him in every way. Later on, he trapped the old monk, the two great war beasts, and thousands of strong individuals from Wanliu here.
Then he employed the secret technique of soul enslavement.
Controlling these people.
Wanting them to be his Guardians.
Now the plan was halfway successful.
Only the old monk remained uncontrolled; the rest had no issues.
It could be considered a gain.
On the side of the Divine Wood King, things were awkward.
Losing Jian Wushuang meant that there was little hope upon entering Wanliu.
He could only rely on the incomplete treasure left on Lord Hengmu’s body to boost his own
strength again.
However, this also meant that he lost the opportunity to ascend step by step.
Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to plan in Wanliu?
The treasures and opportunities within Wanliu.
Nobody outside knew what they were.
Divine Wood King also learned some information from the treasures of Lord Hengmu.
Within the Wanliu Divine Tree, there was a path.
That path was the path to godhood.
It transcended the Tribulation realm, beyond the control of the highest Law Rules.
It was the true god in spacetime.
Stronger than the Ninth Tribulation realm.
Escaping spacetime from then on.
Above all beings. What a pity!
