Chapter 5920: Two-Man Team
When this statement was made, Jian Wushuang felt that things weren’t as good as he had hoped.
Perhaps the summons below was aimed at Wu Li.
It had nothing to do with him.
So he had to eliminate him.
That was the only possibility.
If he continued like this, he might even be forcibly driven out.
But since he had come this far, he could only grit his teeth and continue downwards.
“Forget it, let’s keep going!”
He decided to forge ahead regardless!
He refused to believe it.
Why was it always him who had the bad luck?
Following the cracks, he continued downward.
A white light burst forth from his body.
It illuminated the path ahead.
The cracks at the foot of the mountain were very damp, with water flowing down the stone walls.
The walls were covered with moss.
The further down they went, the larger the s.p.a.ces between the cracks became.
Behind Wu Li, he walked at the forefront.
That feeling of palpitation, from pressure to oppression, caused beads of sweat to form on his forehead.
But Wu Li acted as if nothing was wrong, following behind him, his eyes darting around, scanning the surroundings, fearing danger.
They continued for about 15 minutes.
Most of the people outside were almost at the mountaintop.
Finally, they discovered something.
The cracks were no longer descending but sloping forward.
After walking for a while, there was even an upward trend.
The three-foot sword in Wu Li’s hand began to hum.
This meant they were close to their target.
“There’s light!”
Jian Wushuang, who was in the lead, turned a corner and saw light ahead.
He glanced back at Wu Li, and they nodded to each other.
Without hesitation, they increased their speed and rushed toward the source of light.
It wasn’t until they reached the source of light that they realized.
It was actually an exit.
Phew!
Exiting the damp crevice, they entered the sunlight.
They saw everything in front of them.
A huge aerial garden.
Floating above the water surface.
Everything was neatly arranged.
There was not a hint of disorder.
It was definitely man-made.
Jian Wushuang was sure of this.
Seeing this aerial garden, Jian Wushuang didn’t feel that palpitation anymore.
But there was a sense of oppression from the water surface below.
Before he could a.s.sess the water’s surface, Wu Li flew uncontrollably outwards.
Towards the aerial garden.
While he remained standing in place, feeling nothing.
Flying in the air, Wu Li finally saw the appearance of this place.
Looking back, there was the low mountain.
They had crossed this low mountain from the crevice, essentially traversing it.
This place was behind the low mountain.
A huge valley.
Mountains surrounded it.
In the middle, there was a huge lake.
Above the lake was the aerial garden.
Jian Wushuang took the initiative to fly out at this moment, intending to catch up with Wu Li, who had also noticed everything.
The rest of the group’s aura was now on the mountaintop, but it would still take some time
for them to reach this place.
In a way, they had taken a shortcut.
It could be considered a gain, being ahead of others.
But there were also downsides.
In case this place was dangerous.
He couldn’t handle it.
“Brother Wushuang, I’ll go in first!”
Wu Li glanced back at Jian Wushuang, then entered the aerial garden on his own.
There, he felt the source of the summons.
“Wait for me!”
Jian Wushuang was anxious, his wings behind him trembling, wanting to catch up.
But the moment he entered the aerial garden, he ran into a barrier.
He found himself unable to get in.
The barrier was green, pulsing with powerful Life force.
He refused to believe it and attempted to break through with the power of Life.
But he found he still couldn’t get in.
“d.a.m.n it!”
While Wu Li went in, he couldn’t.
If Wu Li took the treasure for himself, it would be a big loss.
He couldn’t understand why Wu Li could enter while he couldn’t.
If it had to do with the innate treasure of the universe, he should be able to enter too!
But once the power of Life pa.s.sed through the barrier, it disappeared.
He couldn’t traverse it at all.
Just then, a huge bubble emerged from the lake below.
Jian Wushuang was startled.
His figure quickly ascended.
The oppressive feeling grew closer.
In the blink of an eye, countless eyeb.a.l.l.s of a huge beast appeared on the surface of the lake,
directly bursting out of the water.
Countless eyeb.a.l.l.s were accompanied by numerous tentacles.
There were also many green vines entwined around its body.
Similar to the Moyun Vine of Divine Wood King.
He was startled by the sudden appearance of this creature and hurried to dodge its attacks.
His aura suddenly changed, turning blue.
Green battle armor also appeared on his body.
His divine power soared from 1.5 million to 2 million in an instant.
Employing the Super Eternal Ancient Transformation, his divine power skyrocketed to 4
million.
Facing the attacks from below, he drew his sword and struck out directly.
With his current strength, he could rival the Eighth Tribulation realm.
It wasn’t a problem to block them.
Those tentacles weren’t as powerful as he had imagined; he easily cut through several of them
with his sword.
But the oppressive feeling remained strong.
This puzzled Jian Wushuang.
He always felt that there was a greater threat lurking, so he didn’t dare to linger in battle.
Dodging the tentacles, he quickly rushed towards the direction of Lowfoot Mountain.
Meanwhile, Divine Wood King had already brought Danbao and the others to the
mountaintop.
On the mountaintop, there was also a huge stone stele.
“City of the Sky!”
The stele was activated by Danbao.
The four characters above were simple.
Having suffered from a lack of education last time, they had figured it out based on the words
on the monument last time.
They had all learned the language of the Polunga Clan.
So, there was no need for Danbao to translate.
“It seems to be the floating city below the mountain!”
The group came to the edge of the cliff together, looking down.
They saw the “aerial garden” that Jian Wushuang had mistaken for.
In fact, it was a city in the sky.
“This time, I’ll take the lead!” Lord Hengmu saw the City of the Sky, joy flickering in his eyes
as he took the initiative to step forward.
The expression of the Great Monk remained unchanged.
He came from the Wanliu Universe and was the most familiar with this place.
He was unfamiliar with other places.
But he had heard of the legends of the City of the Sky.
Or rather, he had some understanding of the rumors about the City of the Sky.
In the Wanliu Universe, there was a legend.
Legend has it that in a hidden realm within the Wanliu Universe, there stood a city in the sky.
It was once the residence of a prominent figure, every item within it holding invaluable benefits, including the treasures and legacies left behind by this figure.
This individual had intricate ties with the Origin Source of Wanliu, known to Lord Hengmu, a
local.
With such knowledge, he dared to venture into the city, accompanied by two formidable battle beasts, both at the peak of the Eighth Tribulation realm, instilling him with confidence. The Great Monk was also aware of this place and had discreetly informed Elder Blu. However, Elder Blu showed little interest in the matter, only considering a visit if it happened
to align with his path, otherwise dismissing it as unnecessary risk. There were opportunities, but also threats, and he saw no need to take unnecessary chances, especially with a sizable entourage in tow.
