Just as the few were chatting, Empress Fengchen arrived at the main hall of the warship, and everyone fell silent, turning to look at her.
Empress Fengchen surveyed the crowd, took her seat at the highest position, lightly pressed her hand down, and calmly said, “No need to be restrained, I’ve just obtained the assessment criteria for this Sacred Assembly. You all can take a look and prepare yourselves mentally. Half an hour later, we will discuss the tactics for this gathering.”
Jian Wushuang’s eyes lit up, and several beams of light flew into the hands of various strong individuals.
Within those beams of light were scrolls.
When unfolded, not only were there words on top, but also demonstrations of figures.
Jian Wushuang frowned as he looked at it.
The Ancient Wood Sacred Assembly!
Assessment of the world, “Infinite Great World.”
A vast world southwest of Wanliu.
Internally, it was incredibly spacious, even larger than the Shi Kingdom.
Assessment criteria: The first four teams to reach the finish line are the victors!
“So simple?” Jian Wushuang blurted out.
As soon as these words came out, many people rolled their eyes.
At this moment, Elder Muchen came out to explain, “Wushuang, you can’t judge everything by its appearance. You may not have heard of this Infinite Great World. Even Seventh Tribulation realm wild beasts exist inside. Moreover, since the Ancient Wood Sect has set this rule, there will likely be many dangers along the way. We must not be careless!”
‘But, what’s the point of doing this?’ Jian Wushuang thought to himself.
He didn’t say it out loud.
However, Wu Li seemed to understand and added, “The dangers along the way are just a part of it. There’s probably more about opportunities. And according to the nature of the Ancient Wood Sect, this set of rules hasn’t been fully disclosed to us. There are definitely other rules that will only be revealed after we arrive. Otherwise, if we knew in advance, someone might prepare prematurely!”
This statement made Jian Wushuang somewhat agree.
Crossing the entire Infinite Great World.
The important thing was the process.
It definitely wouldn’t be so simple.
Jian Wushuang began to feel a bit excited.
Emperor, the Universe Master.
Although the path was the same, the encounters would be different.
That’s why there were places reserved for the Emperor.
Jian Wushuang was well aware of this.
Otherwise, sending the Emperor would be akin to sending him to his death.
The three great warships sailed side by side, quickly leaving the borders of Yue Kingdom.
At this moment, the Empress began explaining matters regarding the Ancient Wood Sect.
Everyone listened attentively.
“Before entering the Infinite Great World, we will divide into five teams. After entering, we must gather at the seven starting points as quickly as possible. Otherwise, we’ll lose to other forces at the starting point. To coordinate with each other, you will need to divide yourselves into teams!”
As soon as the Empress finished speaking, everyone began to make eye contact.
On Jian Wushuang’s side, the team had already formed.
Led by Elder Muchen, with Wu Li, Jiuhu, Jian Wushuang, and Jinchen.
Two Emperors.
Three Half-Step Fourth Tribulation Universe Masters.
Apart from Jiuhu, Jian Wushuang was familiar with everyone else.
As for Jiuhu, he was a Half-Step Fourth Tribulation powerhouse recruited by Wu Li and was not weak in strength.
The rest sorted themselves out.
On the Empress’s side, naturally, she was accompanied by two royal Fourth Tribulation Universe Masters.
The rest were divided into five teams.
Elder Muchen led one.
The Li Family led another.
A young prince from the Yue Kingdom led one.
The Qingyun Sect led another.
The last one was a team formed by several small families.
The tactical arrangements were superficial, merely surface division of labor.
The real tactics, perhaps, would only be revealed after they entered the Infinite Great World.
They didn’t know much about the Infinite Great World.
But the Empress surely knew more.
Jian Wushuang also learned quite a bit about the Infinite Great World from others.
The starting point and the endpoint!
From what Jian Wushuang knew, initially, they would be randomly teleported to the periphery of the Infinite Great World and would need to head to the agreed starting point on their own before finally setting off together.
Then it would be the endpoint.
Arriving at the finish line meant reaching the end of the Infinite Great World.
They were already quite close to the Wanliu Divine Tree.
Only the top four teams had the qualification to proceed to the periphery of the Wanliu Divine Tree.
This meant Jian Wushuang and Wu Li had to help the Empress secure a position within the top four.
Wu Li glanced at Jian Wushuang at this moment, nodding inwardly.
Yet, in his heart, a cold sneer echoed—not from Wu Li himself, but from a deeply ingrained presence within him.
It was the opportunity that led Wu Li to become the Universe Master.
When that voice sounded, Wu Li’s expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he asked, “Teacher, is the end of the Infinite Great World still far from the Wanliu Divine Tree?”
“Not far. Even if the Empress of Yue Kingdom fails to make it to the top four, I can still take you to the outskirts of the Wanliu Willow Divine Tree!” the mysterious voice resonated within Wu Li.
Wu Li furrowed his brows slightly before continuing, “And what about Jian Wushuang?”
“Of course, it’s killing two birds with one stone!”
The warship swayed, taking a month to exit the Sixteen Kingdoms of Qingchao.
Beyond lay the boundless chaos, an unexplored world where the Ancient Wood Sect resided.
Long before the era of the Celestial Maiden, the entire Ancient Wood Continent was shrouded in chaos.
It was the Divine Wood King who led the strong to establish the sacred land of the Ancient Wood Sect, eventually evolving into the Sixteen Kingdoms of Qingchao and various major secret realms.
Now, teams from the Sixteen Kingomds and major secret realms arrived one after another, exuding an aura as if myriad Immortals were paying homage.
The team from the Shi Kingdom was the most massive, with 100 Universe Masters in attendance.
There were even 3 Universe Masters at the Fifth Tribulation.
Then there was the Daughter Kingdom. Despite Yun Zhi ascending to the Seventh Tribulation, the Daughter Kingdom did not abstain from the Sacred Assembly.
They also sent 2 Universe Masters at the Fifth Tribulation.
Throughout various eras, the Daughter Kingdom had repeatedly claimed the position of the Holy Maiden.
This time, they came with great confidence.
Jian Wushuang, having visited the Daughter Kingdom before, had some understanding of its strength.
According to his knowledge, the Daughter Kingdom dispatched the Twin Stars this time—two Universe Masters at the Half-Step Sixth Tribulation, just slightly weaker than Fengchen.
They were the hot favorites of this Sacred Assembly.
Yongheng Kingdom had already perished, leaving behind only 15 kingdoms.
Even the Yue Kingdom couldn’t make it to the top ten, but it didn’t mean that Universe Masters from all factions were stronger than Empress Fengchen.
On the contrary, Empress Fengchen’s strength could rank within the top five among the Sixteen Kingdoms.
In this gathering, hundreds of Universe Masters at the Fifth Tribulation could all vie for the top ten positions.
Specific rankings would need to be verified in battle.
Jian Wushuang was also estimating his own position.
He didn’t care about the position of the Holy Maiden, but he must help Empress Fengchen secure a spot in the top four.
That was his bottom line.
With his current strength, he could indeed sway the general outcome of battles.
However, facing some Universe Masters at the Half-Step Sixth Tribulation, he wasn’t very confident.
His strongest trump card, the Starry Sky Chronicles, allowed him to control the Life and Death of opponents, already comparable to a Universe Master at the Fifth Tribulation.
But among Universe Masters at the Fifth Tribulation, there were differences in strength.
