The two entered a courtyard and sat under a willow tree. In front of them was a beautifully carved tea house.
Wu Li brewed tea with ease while Jian Wushuang savored it carefully.
Jian Wushuang could empathize with Wu Li's badmouthing of the royal family behind their backs.
If he were Ninth Stone, he would probably die of anger if their identities were switched.
Or perhaps it was Princess Jin Chen.
Although he felt that the other party was too stubborn, he found it hard to accept it when it happened to him.
When a poor boy met a rich lady, they had to be of equal social status.
They were a perfect match, but he was worried that someone else would take his place.
There was no way to clarify such a matter.
Furthermore, Ninth Stone was risking his life. If it was for the Yue Kingdom's wealth, why not fight for Stone Kingdom's throne?
According to what he knew, Stone Kingdom's current king wasn't Shi Xiu.
Instead, it was Shi Xiu's elder brother. Although he was also at the Sixth Tribulation realm, the outside world didn't think highly of his strength.
There was a 99% chance that he would focus on Loose Tribulations in the future.
This way, the throne would be vacant.
If Shi Xiu supported Ninth Stone with all his might, there was a high chance.
If Shi Xiu's peak combat strength could reach 180,000, it would be too difficult.
It wasn't his divine power, so it wasn't counted.
An Imperial Lord had a combat strength of 180,000. It could be said that he would become a Lord of the Universe.
With Shi Xiu's nurturing, it wouldn't be difficult for him to reach the Fourth Tribulation realm.
The Fifth Tribulation realm required some external opportunities.
Ninth Stone was also a proud son of heaven with great providence.
It wasn't impossible for him to reach the Fifth Tribulation realm.
It could be said that Ninth Stone was a Fifth Tribulation seedling.
What a pity!
He didn't know if he could recover before the Holy Assembly.
As Wu Li poured tea for Jian Wushuang, he said, "To put it bluntly, if I were that empress, I would melt even if I had a stone in my chest after seeing Ninth Stone's performance today. She opened a dog hole and let Shi Han take Ninth Stone away. She didn't even say a word of comfort!"
"Emperors are temperamental and the most heartless!" Jian Wushuang commented.
Words from the mortal world were equally applicable to the present.
"That's right!" Wu Li nodded in agreement.
Jian Wushuang put down his teacup and said in a serious tone, "Let's get down to business. There shouldn't be any problem with the quota for the Sacred Assembly this time, right?"
"Don't worry about that. If the royal family doesn't give it to us, we'll break off the engagement!" Wu Li patted his chest and promised.
In fact, Jian Wushuang was also unlucky. He didn't see through Wu Li's shortsightedness.
If he had revealed his strength earlier, even the Azure Cloud Sect would have given him a spot.
It was just that it was not easy to find out the details in these ten thousand years.
Although Wu Li was a little short-sighted, he was still very meticulous when it came to planning.
In ten thousand years, he had perfected the identity of Jian Wushuang.
He came from a fallen family and wandered the outer realms for several epochs before returning to the State of Yue to join the Wu Family.
Moreover, Wu Li had already arranged for people to deliberately leave traces of Jian Wushuang.
Although Jian Wushuang was only a small deacon of the Blue Cloud Sect, his identity was also investigated by the Blue Cloud Sect.
Now that he was marrying into the royal family, the other party might be investigating his identity.
With Wu Li's plan, Jian Wushuang wasn't worried at all.
Without a deep-rooted family clan to protect him, it wouldn't be easy for him to enter the core. No matter how heaven-defying he was, if his identity was unknown, he would be suspected and not be put in an important position.
This was especially so for factions like the State of Yue. They were too suspicious.
"There shouldn't be any problems. However, there's one thing you have to pay attention to. I heard that a certain patriarch of the State of Yue will awaken soon. It might have something to do with marrying into the royal family!"
"That's impossible. I'm only an Imperial Lord. Would that patriarch care?" Jian Wushuang said in surprise.
As an Imperial Lord, he would be a live-in son-in-law if he married into the royal family.
The other party would fancy him.
Wu Li continued, "I'm worried that he will notice something. For example, the two of us don't have a bloodline!"
This was something that could not be done.
"There's nothing to worry about. My body is a little special. It can transform into anything. Even a Seventh Tribulation Eminence won't be able to see any problems!" Jian Wushuang was most confident about his body.
Back then, although Moluo Spacetime didn't walk the path of the physical body and divine body.
However, he still had some skills when it came to tempering his body.
After tempering his body ten times, he had surpassed the peak of Moluo Spacetime.
Even in the Ancient Moon Universe, the perfection of his physical body could easily be ranked in the top three among those of the same level.
Being first was a little exaggerated. Jian Wushuang wasn't as confident as Wu Li.
"Apart from this, there's nothing else. After that patriarch wakes up, he will most likely head to the Sacred Assembly. Although Scattered Tribulation Eminences can't participate in the Sacred Assembly, it's still a good choice to observe!" Wu Li heaved a sigh of relief as his confidence rose.
He was still confident in his plan.
Wasn't he about to succeed now?
After obtaining a spot, he would wait for the Sacred Assembly ten years later.
He would activate Myriad Willows and become someone above others.
"Okay!" Jian Wushuang didn't say anything else. He would take it one step at a time!
As for the two Imperial Lords related to the power of death, he didn't tell Wu Li.
Although the two of them were on the same boat, their relationship wasn't that good.
Most importantly, this had nothing to do with Wu Li.
The matter of the power of death was related to the future.
He had to take it seriously.
It was better to wait three days before probing Elder Mu Chen when he met him!
The main thing was to activate Myriad Willows.
The power of death was second.
If he could inquire about it along the way, he wouldn't mind the trouble.
He just didn't know if the power of death had anything to do with Extermination.
If it did, the other party's reach was too long.
Three days quickly passed under the willow tree. Wu Li didn't leave for the past three days. He played with the tea set and chatted with Jian Wushuang for three days.
After the old man and the young man finished talking about cultivation, they started talking about legends.
Finally, when they talked about women, they mentioned the same name.
"Empress Fengchen!"
A strange smile appeared on both of their faces, and they immediately stopped talking.
Just as the two of them were about to head to Wood King Manor, Elder Mu Chen personally came.
"Elder Mu Chen, you're too polite. It's fine if you're here, but you didn't bring anything!" Although Wu Li said that, his body was sincere as he directed the steward into the room.
Jian Wushuang didn't mind.
The treasures sent weren't simple either. Unfortunately, they were all treasures with divine power. He didn't need them at all.
He couldn't even digest Dong Jun's skeleton, so how could he have the time to absorb those treasures with divine power?
His improvement was too slow.
It would probably take years for his basic divine power to reach the Third Tribulation realm.
He still couldn't tell how powerful Dong Jun's skeleton was.
In any case, it was at least the skeleton of a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
The bones of the body contained an extremely rich divine power.
Back when Dong Jun's Origins were destroyed, his body didn't rot. However, his flesh and blood had been refined, leaving behind the skeleton and the divine power inside.
