The arrival was none other than Jian Wushuang.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, he thanked him in a low voice.

Then he turned and left directly.

Originally, he had intended to inquire about the progress of the investigation in this area, or if there were any discoveries.

But he hadn’t expected there to be a significant discovery.

Initially, he had hurried along, thinking that all the treasures were inside the cave.

But the Chen family had a trick up their sleeve.

Jian Wushuang hurried back with all his strength, returning to the capital in just an hour.

Thinking about the recent arrival of strong members of the royal family, his brow furrowed.

It seemed that the discovery was out of the ordinary.

If it were just some ordinary treasure, he probably wouldn’t have returned so quickly.

Although things had taken an unexpected turn, Jian Wushuang remained composed. He first restored his composure, then calmly returned to his mansion.

Then he began to contact Elder Muchen.

He was the Universe Master of the royal family, although his strength was not exceptional.

But he was indeed a pillar of the future and the brother of the Empress.

His information should be more up-to-date.

“Nephew Wushuang, you’re really quick with the news. I just received word myself. How about we go to the palace together?” Elder Muchen was somewhat surprised by Jian Wushuang’s speed in receiving the news, but he didn’t doubt it too much. When someone from the royal family discovered the treasure, it caused quite a stir, and then rushing back to the royal family immediately afterward attracted a lot of attention.

As long as Jian Wushuang maintained contact with the outside world and was aware of this matter, it wasn’t surprising.

Jian Wushuang readily accepted Elder Muchen’s reply.

If he were to go alone, it would indeed be too unusual. But if Muchen took him along, it would be different.

The two of them were going to watch the excitement.

A person with a determined demeanor.

To be safe, Jian Wushuang shamelessly dragged along Princess Jinchen.

Originally, she had no intention of going, but under his persuasion, she was convinced with astonishing arguments.

And so, the two of them set off together, meeting with Muchen outside the palace before entering together.

The palace above the clouds was incredibly solemn!

Upon entering, the three couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

Jian Wushuang, being perceptive, noticed that the guards were stricter than usual upon their entry into the palace.

It was hard for him not to think it was because of the Chen family’s matters.

Especially when they headed towards the main hall, the blood-red aura within him surged constantly, emanating from the blood-red fruit he had just absorbed.

Inside the main hall, the source of this aura was drawing him in.

Buzz!

Before they even entered the main hall, they sensed a powerful presence.

“Someone powerful is acting?”

The three were surprised, then quickly entered the main hall.

Without even being summoned, they charged right in.

Upon entering the grand hall, they discovered several formidable figures inside.

Eight experts at the Five Tribulation realm, and two at the Six Tribulation realm.

Of course, none of them were Universe Masters, only Scattered Tribulation experts.

In the current Yue Kingdom, there was only one Universe Master at the Five Tribulation realm, the Empress, and hardly any at the Four Tribulation.

Their entrance caused a stir.

Several sharp gazes swept over them, making it hard to breathe.

“Elder Yanlong!” Elder Muchen, seeing the situation, quickly bowed.

The oldest of the two Six Tribulation realm experts nodded slowly.

Though Jinchen was the princess of Yue Kingdom, she had never seen an elder of this level before. In a hurry, she pulled Jian Wushuang to kneel alongside her in respect.

“Please rise!” Elder Yanlong’s expression was kindly as he waved his hand towards the three.

The Empress spoke up at this point, “Since you’re here, just stand aside and observe!”

“Yes!” Jian Wushuang slowly rose and stood aside.

Only then did he notice a small transparent altar in the hall.

Inside, there was a churning green liquid.

It was nauseating to look at.

But within that liquid lay vitality.

Of course, this vitality was quite ordinary, nowhere near comparable to Jian Wushuang’s Life power.

Within this green vitality, there was also a small flesh mass.

It resembled a lingzhi mushroom.

That must be what was causing his blood and qi to surge.

Jian Wushuang stared blankly without concealing his surprise.

Patriarch Yanlong, standing at the top, noticed Jian Wushuang’s unusual gaze and asked, “Youngster, do you know it?”

Upon hearing Patriarch Yanlong’s inquiry, Jian Wushuang finally realized there were several strong figures beside him and quickly withdrew his gaze.

But as he glanced at those elders, a thought sparked in his mind, and he came up with an idea.

“In response to Patriarch, I encountered something similar in the Outer Domain. Initially found it in a mysterious realm and mistakenly consumed the surrounding fruits. Just now, upon seeing this object, I found it related to my qi and blood, hence the daze!” Jian Wushuang improvised, weaving a lie even he almost believed.

Elder Muchen, on the side, felt some discrepancies, thinking it’s no wonder Jian Wushuang is so powerful.

Daring to explore the secrets of the Outer Domain.

But then he remembered, Jian Wushuang’s identity in the Outer Domain was fake.

Can this story be true?

Truth and falsehood, no one could discern.

“Oh! To think you’re fated with it, then I’ll give it to you!” Patriarch Yanlong said, using Thought power to directly send the mysterious creature resembling Lingzhi mushroom, soaked in Life fluid, to Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang was momentarily stunned.

“Umm?”

“Take it if it’s given to you!” The Empress spoke now, her voice icy.

Jian Wushuang dared not say more and quickly received it with both hands.

The moment he touched it, the mysterious creature, resembling Lingzhi mushroom, began devouring his Life power.

Its appearance quickly changed from a Lingzhi shape to an oval cocoon.

After Jian Wushuang sealed his own Life power, the creature stopped transforming.

This scene astonished everyone present.

Patriarch Yanlong’s gaze flickered. He wasn’t interested in the creature in the Life fluid, only in the Life fluid itself.

Hearing Jian Wushuang’s recognition of the creature, he had an idea to use Jian Wushuang’s hand to get that thing out.

He didn’t care if it was true or false.

Mainly because they were all just captivated by this thing.

Some people advocated not to act recklessly.

But he couldn’t wait.

He urgently needed the Life fluid among them.

Because he was too old.

Without vitality, he would fall into slumber.

Becoming a living dead in the king’s tomb.

The land is so beautiful; he is very attached to it.

But he hadn’t anticipated that the mysterious creature would indeed be related to Jian Wushuang and would undergo rapid changes.

Whether it was due to leaving the Life liquid or because of Jian Wushuang himself, he wasn’t sure.

He was well aware of Jian Wushuang’s mysterious background and strength as the husband of the dynasty, a connection that was likely true.

“Hmm? It’s not moving!” Jian Wushuang held the oval-shaped pupa, which was hardly moving.
