Amongst the Nine Star Sects, only the Ancient Moon Sect truly reigned supreme.
With some insights gleaned from Wu Li’s words, Jian Wushuang came to understand the hierarchy of these sects.
The Seven Star Sects seemed more like subsidiaries of the Eight Star Sects.
And the Eight Star Sects were in turn subservient to the Ancient Moon Sect.
It was a hierarchical structure that extended downward.
In reality, the influence throughout the Ancient Moon Spacetime was unified.
There was only one Nine Star Sect, the Ancient Moon Sect.
The Eight Star Sects, however, numbered 19 in total.
Each representing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Then came the Seven Star Sects. To establish one, it required a Seven Tribulation realm powerhouse.
This revelation greatly shocked Jian Wushuang.
In the former Moro Spacetime, there was only Qishen, a Seven Tribulation realm powerhouse.
But in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, were Seven Tribulation realm experts so common?
In Yue Kingdom alone, there was already a Seven Star Sect.
However, as he delved deeper into understanding the Ancient Moon Spacetime, he realized.
It wasn’t that the Ancient Moon Spacetime was exceptionally powerful.
It was just that this spacetime had existed for an incredibly long time.
If the former Moro Spacetime had experienced five epochs, then the Ancient Moon Spacetime had endured at least billions of epochs.
No wonder so many powerhouses had emerged.
Yet, over the years, the number of surviving Seven Tribulation Realm experts had dwindled significantly.
Most were scattered remnants after failed tribulations.
Jian Wushuang had long known that those at the Tribulation Realm were peculiar.
Once they failed in their tribulation, the weaker ones perished directly.
Some, known for their renown, severed their own tribulations.
Forever remaining trapped within a certain tribulation.
For those confident in themselves, they would cross the tribulation. If they fail, they either perish or, if their strength is formidable, they can transform into wandering Tribulation Realm cultivators.
With this in mind, Jian Wushuang thought of Qishen Temple. With Qishen’s strength at the Half-Step Eight Tribulation realm, even if he failed the tribulation, he should have become one of the strong ones amidst scattered and wandering Tribulations. How did he end up perishing?
However, now in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, he no longer thought about Moro Spacetime.
Now he was more interested in what Wu Li said.
According to Wu Li, his Jueyun Sword and the jade sword on him were master and servant.
When his true self appeared, the jade sword had undergone changes, leading him here.
Jian Wushuang drew the Jueyun Sword and handed it to Wu Li.
Wu Li also handed the jade sword to Jian Wushuang.
The two observed simultaneously.
Only when holding the jade sword did Jian Wushuang truly feel that it contained a complete divine power Origin Source.
It also contained the power of Life!
“Was this refined by Divine Wood?” Jian Wushuang finally recognized the material of the jade sword.
If it weren’t for the Origin Source, he wouldn’t have been able to tell at all.
While praising the Jueyun Sword, Wu Li smiled knowingly when Jian Wushuang discovered the jade sword’s uniqueness and said, “Dao Friend, your insight is truly extraordinary. It took this old man several years to realize the connection between the jade sword and Divine Wood!”
Jian Wushuang didn’t care about such boasting.
What he was more curious about now was why these two were connected.
The Origin Source within this jade sword was very similar to that of the Jueyun Sword.
Or rather, it was very similar to the Jueyun Sword he had nurtured.
Both contained the power of Life.
The connection between the two lay in the power of Life.
But he clearly came from a distant branch spacetime in the Starry Sky.
This Ancient Moon Spacetime was probably one of the nine core spacetimes in the Starry Sky.
How could there be a connection across such a distance?
Although curious, Jian Wushuang did not expose the Life power within his body.
He didn’t plan to reveal it later either.
Because this ability is probably related to the Ancient Wood Sect.
That’s an Eight Star Sect.
A superpower with experts in the Eighth Tribulation realm.
Stronger even than the Qishen Temple.
Although there are no experts in the Eighth Tribulation realm in the current generation.
But there are those who have failed in their tribulation in the Eighth Tribulation realm.
That alone surpasses the Qishen Temple.
Not to mention Jian Wushuang now.
So he couldn’t expose it.
Otherwise, it would be inviting disaster.
After playing with the jade sword for a while, Jian Wushuang returned it to Wu Li. However, the latter, caressing the Jueyun Sword, seemed reluctant, which amused him.
Seeing him returning the jade sword, Wu Li felt embarrassed to continue watching, so he handed the Jueyun Sword to Jian Wushuang.
After receiving it, Jian Wushuang didn’t put it into the scabbard on his back this time, but instead tucked it into his mustard seed.
After all, the current Jueyun Sword contained secrets, and he didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention.
Moreover, even Wu Li could sense the uniqueness of the Jueyun Sword.
Although he was only an expert in the Three Tribulation Realm, he had already mastered the universe, becoming a Universe Master.
But such strength is only impressive in the Yue Kingdom.
In the vast Ancient Wood Continent, it still falls short.
After all, the top sects of the Ancient Wood Continent have experts in the Eighth Tribulation realm.
There are probably quite a few in the Seventh Tribulation realm as well.
The Universe Master at the Three Tribulation realm wasn’t much in the grand scheme of things.
When faced with stronger beings at the Tribulation Realm, it was likely they could easily discern the extraordinary nature of Jueyun Sword at a glance.
He had to refine the life force within the Jueyun Sword.
He couldn’t afford to be ostentatious.
“Dao Friend, have you noticed the similarity between these two?” Wu Li asked.
Jian Wushuang nodded, seeing no reason to conceal anything.
Indeed, the Life power was the same.
It was akin to the Life force of plants and trees.
“In that case, I’ll be straightforward!” Wu Li cut to the chase this time.
Jian Wushuang shared the same anticipation.
Although the Life power was special, it didn’t warrant such treatment from Wu Li.
Perhaps this jade sword held a purpose unknown to him.
Before Wu Li spoke, he had already set up a barrier.
Their conversation was completely inaudible to Yuchi Mingfeng.
All he could see was the two of them sitting there, as if time had frozen.
Wu Li’s voice was barely audible, and his face trembled.
“Dao Friend, do you know that the Thousand Willow at the center of the Ancient Wood Continent is actually the Ten Thousand Willow, the treasure left by the celestial maiden who opened up the spacetime in the beginning!”
Jian Wushuang abruptly stood up, furrowing his brow, unable to believe his ears.
Ten Thousand Willow!
This reminded him of the Forest of Eternal Secrets.
At the same time, he understood why the Life power within the Jueyun Sword was so similar to that within the jade sword.
His Life power was comprehended from the Origin Source of All Things.
And within the Origin Source of All Things, there also existed the origin of the Forest of Eternal Secrets.
No wonder the two are connected.
Now he finally understood.
Both are manifestations of plant life.
That was the legendary Ten Thousand Willow, a Divine Tree left by the celestial maiden, far more formidable than the Forest of Eternal Secrets.
If he could obtain it, not to mention breaking through the Tribulation Realm, even reaching the Seven Tribulation realm wouldn’t be an issue.
A thought struck him, and he asked with some excitement, “Could it be related to the Ten Thousand Willow?”
He found it hard to believe.
If it were truly related, then this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Involving the Ten Thousand Willow’s Divine Wood, if word got out, even if they had ten lives each, it wouldn’t be enough to escape death.
Wu Li was also quite frightened by this statement, and at the same time, he reinforced the barrier.
“Fellow Daoist, you mustn’t say such things!” Wu Li shook his head, then continued, “Whether it’s related to the Divine Tree or not, I don’t know, but the Ancient Wood Sect has been searching for this object, and it holds great secrets within!”
