Chapter 5624 Leave
After years of sitting in solitude, Jian Wushuang’s figure began to dissipate. Before leaving, he couldn’t resist taunting Mie Sheng.
....
His intention was to provoke anger in the other.
He wasn’t afraid of the other party reacting impulsively; he feared the silence, as if the other was scheming something sinister without uttering a word.
As his figure vanished, Mie Sheng within the Higher Heavens also disappeared, returning to the temporal river outside the Original Universe.
Meanwhile, Jian Wushuang didn’t return to the temporal vortex. Instead, he directly left the s.p.a.ce-time whirlpool.
It turned out that the existence of the temporal vortex was tied to Mie Sheng’s consciousness. With Mie Sheng’s consciousness gone, Jian Wushuang appeared directly in the cave of the Mahayana Spirit Mountain.
Unable to help it, all the tactics he could employ were used. Jian Wushuang now understood Mie Sheng’s strategy.
Attempting to make him encounter the real Mie Sheng through luck.
It was almost an unrealistic expectation.
Moreover, Jian Wushuang wasn’t a fool. If things got tough, he could simply avoid the fragmented s.p.a.ce and use his Thought power to burst out of the time vortex.
Initially, Jian Wushuang didn’t realize it was Mie Sheng’s plan. He thought he couldn’t leave, that’s all.
After leaving the time vortex and returning to the cave of the Mahayana Spirit Mountain, he discovered that the light here was abundant, devoid of darkness.
Exquisite murals adorned the walls on both sides.

A few steps ahead lay the exit.
“Phew!”
Jian Wushuang heaved a sigh of relief. Finally back in the real world, he had experienced too much in these days.
With a stride, he instantly left the cave and arrived at the entrance.
Gong Miaoyi and Qianxing Buddha were waiting for him outside.
“Thanks to both of you!” After emerging, Jian Wushuang respectfully bowed to the two.
Gong Miaoyi didn’t say much, stepping aside.
Qianxing Buddha clasped his hands together and spoke, “Virtuous one, this fleeting dream may have been fraught with countless hards.h.i.+ps. Let us discuss further beneath the Guti Tree, where preparations have been made with comfortable cus.h.i.+ons to help you calm your mind.”
“Thank you, Lord Qianxing Buddha!” Jian Wushuang clasped his hands together once again, expressing his grat.i.tude.
Although his Dao Heart was already complete, and external objects were unnecessary to restore his state of mind, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse the sincere offer.
Glancing at Gong Miaoyi, Jian Wushuang tentatively asked, “Together?”
“No,” Miaoyi shook her head.
Seeing her firm refusal, Jian Wushuang didn’t insist, but he still handed over a mustard seed containing Nie Yuan’s Sword Dao legacy and some treasures as compensation.
Consider it a form of reparation!
Originally, he had treated her as a p.a.w.n. In hindsight, if Miaoyi hadn’t encountered him, perhaps nothing would have happened.
With earnestly inheriting her mother’s legacy and obtaining the Bloodfall Crystal, she would likely fear no enemy.
It was all fate!
After sighing, Jian Wushuang followed Qianxing Buddha.
He hadn’t obtained the Heart of the Beast G.o.d yet, but he was already eyeing the Heart of the Guti Tree.
The second Nascent Soul.
Also known as the second life.
The cost for Dao Lords to cultivate the second Nascent Soul wasn’t too great. It didn’t require the entire Heart of the Guti Tree. However, when advancing to the Emperor realm, one would likely need the entire Heart of the Guti Tree to cultivate the second Nascent Soul.
He wondered how the other party would react when he made this request later.
He was willing to give up everything, even his dignity.
The second Nascent Soul was originally a term used for the mortal realm. Now, it should be more appropriately called the second Origin Source.
Jian Wushuang originally had two Origin Sources, and cultivating another one would make it three.
For the third Origin Source, he had already planned to use his Life Origin Source and then devour Mie Sheng’s avatar to become the Origin Source of Reincarnation.
Perfect.
He had already started calculating how many valuable treasures he had left in his possession, planning to discuss it with Qianxing Buddha later.
Not long after sitting down, someone delivered the Beast G.o.d Heart to Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang was not particularly surprised by this; considering the bleak future he faced, even obtaining the Beast G.o.d Heart didn’t faze him.
Taking the Beast G.o.d Heart, Jian Wushuang casually pulled out an exquisite eternal treasure, a scepter, from his mustard seed.
“Grandmaster Pu s.h.i.+, please accept this little trinket, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused this time!” Jian Wushuang was extremely polite, almost on the verge of directly stuffing it into the mustard seed of the other party.
Grandmaster Pu s.h.i.+ had never encountered such a situation, vehemently trying to decline, but his eyes were constantly glancing at Qianxing Buddha.
Qianxing Buddha cleared his throat and calmly said, “Since it’s a kind gesture from a benefactor, Grandmaster Pu s.h.i.+, please accept it!”
“Amitabha, many thanks for the kind gesture, benefactor!” Grandmaster Pu s.h.i.+ accepted the scepter, genuinely pleased.
This was truly an exquisite Eternal Treasure!
Even tier 6 Emperors rarely possessed such items.
After Grandmaster Pu s.h.i.+ left, only the two of them remained, sitting and drinking tea.
Jian Wushuang had been contemplating for a long time, but he just couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Unexpectedly, Qianxing Buddha took the initiative to bring it up.
“Benefactor Wushuang, what do you think of this ancient tree?” Qianxing Buddha kicked his feet, looking up at the Guti Tree.
For a moment, Jian Wushuang didn’t quite understand, but he followed along, saying, “This ancient Guti Tree is indeed extraordinary. Not only can it calm the mind, but it is also said that the heart of the ancient teak inside can enable Emperors to cultivate a second Origin Source!”
“Haha, the rumors are a bit exaggerated. If it were an ordinary Emperor, they might be able to cultivate a second Origin Source. However, at my level, there is no hope anymore. So, this Guti Tree is useless for me!” Qianxing Buddha said with a tinge of regret, continuing, “In my youth, I wasn’t qualified to cultivate a second Origin Source. But when I became qualified, it was already in my twilight years!”
This time, Jian Wushuang was able to discern that when Qianxing Buddha wanted to cultivate a second Origin Source in the past, he lacked the qualifications.
Once qualified, and with a realm too high to rely on the Guti Heart for cultivating the second Origin Source, Jian Wushuang found himself in a position where he needed to seize the opportunity.
Having discerned the thoughts of the other party, he flashed a knowing smile and directly opened up, saying, “This time, Lord Qianxing Buddha has shown great kindness to me. Whatever you need, just speak!”
“Virtuous Wushuang, your words are too heavy. Removing the killing calamity is a trivial matter, and as for the Heart of the Beast G.o.d, it no longer belongs to our mountain. Moreover, Virtous One, you’ve already provided compensation; how could I dare to ask for more!” Qianxin Buddha hurriedly declined.
This time, Jian Wushuang frowned; he couldn’t quite understand what this old monk was really after.
Seeing Jian Wushuang’s confusion, Qianxing paused for a moment and spoke, “This time, there is indeed a small matter that Virtuos Wushuang can help with. If this matter succeeds, anything that you find appealing in Mahayana Spirit Mountain can be taken!”
These words were exceptionally domineering, as if he held an una.s.sailable authority.
Mahayana Spirit Mountain was not exclusively under the control of Qianxing alone.
“Well, this seems too easy for me. Just tell me what you need help with!” Jian Wushuang smiled and patiently waited for Qianxing Buddha’s request.
After taking a sip of tea, Qianxing Buddha lowered his voice and said, “Convey a message to Lord Zhen Ling for me!”
“A message?” Jian Wushuang tilted his head slightly, looking at Qianxing in surprise.
Knowing about Zhen Ling was not unexpected. In recent years, Zhen Ling had become deeply ingrained in people’s hearts.
“Yes, just deliver a sentence!”
