Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 6167:
Chapter 6167: There’s a Gap
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
He dared not claim to surpass Hu Qing’s potential completely.
The purple skeleton ascended the building and only crossed five Tribulations?
From their expressions, it was evident they had tried many times.
All ended in failure.
“Speaking of which, I’ve crossed the most times, only falling at the Seventh Tribulation!” Wu Li said, smiling at the others’ distressed faces. “Although your divine power is strong, when it comes to crossing Tribulations, you have to look at me!”
“Shut up, you used the white skeleton!” Shen Mu Wang said irritably. “And this is just the first test. The Academy of the Gods expects us to cross the Ninth Tribulation!”
There was indeed no need to try again.
They had already tested the weakest white skeleton.
Trying again would be futile.
As they discussed this, Zong Qian emerged from the Ascension Tower.
Seeing Jian Wushuang, his expression showed pleasant surprise.
“Jian Wushuang!”
Zong Qian walked straight over.
Wu Zuo was startled, hastily shouting, “Zong Qian, don’t be too presumptuous; this is the Feathering Lands!”
“It’s fine!” Jian Wushuang patted Wu Zuo’s shoulder, looked at Zong Qian, and said, “Judging by your expression, you must be quite satisfied with your results this time!”
Zong Qian glanced at the others, then looked at Jian Wushuang with a slight smile. “Not bad. The golden skeleton ascended the tower and fell at the Ninth Tribulation. However, it’s likely because my starry sky power and beast god power weren’t perfectly fused. With some more training, I should be able to cross the Ninth Tribulation!”
Everyone was stunned.
The golden skeleton ascended the tower and failed at the Ninth Tribulation?
This was too extraordinary.
They found it hard to accept.
How could Zong Qian cross the Ninth Tribulation?
And with the golden skeleton.
Jian Wushuang was also surprised.
Zong Qian was indeed exceptional, mastering the power of the starry sky and being a super divine beast himself, but this was too much!
Hu Qing only reached the Fifth Tribulation.
“Congratulations!” Jian Wushuang didn’t know what to say. He hadn’t ascended the tower himself, but judging from Hu Qing and the others, Zong Qian might have the best results here.
But hearing the word “congratulations,” Zong Qian was taken aback and said in surprise, “Are you joking? I haven’t passed yet. If anyone deserves congratulations, it’s those people!”
He pointed to a group of humans in yellow robes.
“They all ascended the tower with golden skeletons and passed the first time. The demon tribe powerhouses in purple robes also ascended with purple skeletons and passed. I thought I could pass the first time too, but it seems I still need improvement!”
After Zong Qian finished speaking, the crowd fell silent again.
They scanned the square and saw many similarly dressed people walking around.
All had already passed the Ascension Tower.
Especially those in white robes, who were the most numerous.
Some of them had divine power around 40 million, seemingly no better than Wu Zuo and the others.
Not to mention Hu Qing, even Wu Li could defeat a group of them easily.
How were they inferior?
Suddenly, Jian Wushuang understood.
They had overlooked an important reason.
Their origin.
These people were native powerhouses from the Realm God Continent.
Almost none were from the spacetimes.
That was the difference.
They crossed Tribulations in the spacetime.
It’s different from those who crossed in the Realm God Continent or the starry sky.
This was why they almost all failed.
Seeing their grim faces, Zong Qian knew they hadn’t passed. To avoid further discouraging them, he discussed cooperating to kill golden skeletons with Jian Wushuang before leaving quickly.
After Zong Qian left, Jian Wushuang shared his suspicions.
“That must be it!” Wu Zuo said through gritted teeth. “I knew something felt off when crossing Tribulations here. The Origin Source is unsuitable, and the divine power is different.”
“No wonder, it’s not our fault, it’s their flawed requirements!”
“Yes, it’s their fault!”
Soon, everyone blamed the Academy of the Gods.
Since they couldn’t enter, exploring this starry sky secret realm was a good alternative.
Last time they entered was for Tribulations, this time they could focus on improving their basic divine power.
The treasures in this starry sky secret realm were plentiful.
Raising their divine power to the peak of demigods wasn’t impossible.
It wasn’t a wasted trip.
Jian Wushuang also thought it was a good idea.
But he still wanted to try ascending the tower.
And cooperating with Zong Qian, he could learn the secrets of his power usage.
With that thought, he brought out his gains from this time!
The Beast God Weapon was off the table.
He truly couldn’t divide that, but the rest of the treasures needed to be distributed properly.
But when he brought them out, Wu Zuo firmly shook his head and said, “Brother Wushuang, you’re underestimating us. This time…”
Before he could finish speaking, Jian Wushuang picked up a crown.
“Wu Zuo, I think this divine artifact suits you well. It only requires 60 million units of divine power to activate. It can create a Domain where your divine power increases, and your opponent’s decreases.”
Hearing this, Wu Zuo coughed dryly and no longer refused.
There were six divine artifacts.
He took out five and distributed them.
One of them contained the power of the Starry Sky, which he kept for himself.
As for the ancient tower that remained, he revealed its secret.
Because it held the power of the Beast God, it might be useful, and they could decide its fate later.
They had already benefited greatly and simply glared, saying, “Forget it, we didn’t contribute much this time!”
The battle in the Spacetime Gorge indeed highlighted their vast differences in strength.
When Wu Li arrived, he thought he was at least not the weakest.
However, even the God Wood King was much stronger than him.
There were also Wu Zuo and Hu Qing.
Jian Wushuang was in a league of his own, far surpassing them.
Recognizing the reality, they all realized their strength was insufficient. They had to improve or they wouldn’t be able to keep up with Jian Wushuang.
In the future, they would have to venture separately.
“Stop saying useless things. I only need the power of the Starry Sky or the power of the Beast God. I don’t need the other treasures. You all can take them. If you’re too weak, I won’t bring you along!” Jian Wushuang casually tossed the treasures to Wu Li for distribution, then turned and left the plaza, heading towards the Ascension Tower.
When it came to Wu Li and Hu Qing, he had never been stingy.
These people had shared countless life-and-death experiences with him.
Take Wu Li, for instance.
Back in the Infinite Great World, during the Tribulation of the Emperor, he risked his life to buy time.
Even though they were using each other back then, was the value of use higher than life?
Along the way, even a heart of stone would have been warmed.
As for Hu Qing, there was no need to mention.
He still remembered the scene from their first meeting.
Who could have imagined Hu Qing would achieve what he had today?
Wu Zuo, a disciple of Qishen.
At first, he had also clashed with him a few times, but later events saw him stand by his side without hesitation.
