Chapter 5681: Holy Assembly Quota

....

Even though the other party held a noble status and formidable strength, Jian Wushuang couldn’t muster much interest.

Some of these individuals were unaware, while others, like the Emperor prodigies, had some inkling of the truth.

Take Jian Wushuang, for instance!

He cast a friendly glance towards the eldest princess.

Princess Jincheng, catching Jian Wushuang’s gaze, shot him a fierce glare.

While she recognized the Hundred Flowers Vine Jian Wushuang produced, she didn’t believe Jian Wushuang to be particularly powerful.

Instead, she thought his background was definitely more complex than it appeared.

Jian Wushuang, however, remained unfazed by her gaze, merely smiling in response.

Meanwhile, those Emperor prodigies with strong backgrounds in the Yue Kingdom also began to display their own demeanor and strength.

Each of them was eager to try.

This puzzled some of the ordinary Emperor prodigies.

They simply couldn’t understand why these well-established Emperor prodigies, who had both background and power, insisted on marrying a princess who seemed like nothing special.

Information!

The importance of information was fully realized at this moment.

Not only did they know that the princess’s true identity was not as it seemed now, but they also understood the benefits that marrying her would bring.

The spots in the Saint Gathering Sacred Assembly.

In the entire Yue Kingdom, there were probably only a few.

The Yue royal family, Qingyun Sect, Mingjiao.

And the ten major families.

Divided evenly, each family probably only had one spot.

Surely, those spots would go to the formidable Tribulation Realm experts.

If there were two, they could consider giving one to an Emperor.

The key was that among the ten major families, there were differences in strength.

Perhaps only one or two families could secure two spots.

The other families would have to figure something out.

Half of the Sacred Assembly comprised Emperors, and the other half comprised Tribulation Realm experts.

It is best to have two spots.

For families like the Wu’s, who are relatively low-ranking, they only have one spot, and that spot is also because of Wu Li’s status.

Out of 20 spots in a nation, families occupy at least half.

The remaining spots are divided among the three major powers, and each spot is extremely precious.

There simply isn’t any surplus.

That’s why the competition is so fierce.

The method of selecting a son-in-law is also simple; anyone who comes to this place today, including the Emperor, is qualified to participate.

But ultimately, it’s decided by strength.

The backgrounds of the Emperors who can come here have all been thoroughly investigated, leaving only a competition of strength.

When Muchen saw that some people were still not very active, he mentioned, “There’s one more thing I almost forgot to mention. The Saint Gathering of the Ancient Wood Continent will be held soon. Among the 20 spots allocated to the Yue Kingdom, one will be for a son-in-law!”

Upon hearing this, the weaker forces looked at each other.

The Saint Gathering Sacred Assembly!

It’s the conference for electing the Holy Maiden. Normally, they would just go to watch the excitement at most.

Even if they were given spots, their families wouldn’t have suitable candidates to participate!

The candidate for the Holy Maiden must be a Universe Master and also a female cultivator.

Just this threshold blocks off 99 percent of the strong.

Why bring up the matter of recruiting a son-in-law now?

This time, it wasn’t Muchen’s turn to explain. The Empress spoke up personally, “This Saint Gathering is extraordinary, and it’s related to the Divine Wood King. You should all take the opportunity to learn more!”

Divine Wood King!

At the mention of this title, everyone was shaken.

Even Jian Wushuang frowned. He hadn’t heard Wu Li mention that this Saint Conference would involve the Divine Wood King.

Although Wu Li’s information was very well-informed, he didn’t know that this Saint Conference was related to the Divine WOod King.

As for this name, Jian Wushuang had known about it since he first went to the Qingyun Sect.

As long as practitioners who know a little about the Ancient Wood Sect, they all know.

From the Tribulation Realm to the mundane world.

They all know what the Godwood King represents!

He is the ancestor of the Ancient Wood Sect.

A powerful figure who was crowned king.

The strong who can be crowned king are all ancestors of the eight-star sects.

If an ancestor falls, the title can be inherited!

The superpowers of the Eighth Tribulation realm.

Jian Wushuang held his breath.

If this sacred meeting really had something to do with the Wood King, then his matters with Wu Li might not proceed so easily.

They were experts of the Eighth Tribulation realm!

Although they were scattered in the Tribulation Realm and lacked the grandeur of the cosmic Dao Arena, they were not the kind of small fries that they could peek at.

In general, when the sacred meeting identifies candidates for the Holy Maiden, at most, they could mobilize a Seven Tribulation realm expert from the Ancient Wood Sect, which was considered good.

Now, with the involvement of the Divine Wood King, it was likely that the old ancestor would appear.

This also meant that this sacred meeting was not only for the Holy Maiden candidates but also for other actions.

Both Wu Li and Jian Wushuang showed shock on their faces, exchanging a glance.

The Empress was present, so they dared not say much, they could only endure and discuss privately after the banquet.

However, Jian Wushuang couldn’t let go of the matter of becoming the son-in-law.

This sacred gathering was of extraordinary significance, and there would be a lot of movement. Even if the Divine Wood King appeared, they had to go and try together.

Even if they couldn’t activate the Wanliu Divine Tree, they still had to attend the sacred meeting.

Wu Li had participated in many sacred meetings, so it might not be a big deal to him.

But Jian Wushuang had just arrived in the Ancient Moon Spacetime.

He couldn’t afford to miss such a sacred meeting.

Whoosh!

The crowd was shocked. After a moment, the Empress took out a piece of heaven and earth from her palm, placing it directly in the center of the banquet hall.

All the guests around could see it clearly. The message was clear, no need for further words. Those who had the ability should step forward.

At this moment, Muchen smiled and stood up, entering the heavenly realm. He spoke, “All esteemed nephews and nieces, you may enter. Just hold out for a quarter of an hour in this realm. After entering, you can act as you please, without any restraint!”

Obviously, this time, it wasn’t just one person selected, but a group. Holding out for a quarter of an hour couldn’t be done by just one person; it might require several.

Moreover, they could even act against each other, making it more interesting.

As Muchen’s voice fell, the Emperor among the guests couldn’t contain himself.

“My son, go with confidence and hold out for a quarter of an hour!”

“Yes!”

Not only the descendants of the family but also the Tribulation Realm powerhouses within the Qingyun Sect allowed their disciples to go forward.

Becoming a son-in-law meant obtaining a spot in the Sacred Assembly. Such crucial spots were limited to 20 in the entire Yue Kingdom.

Usually, when not taken seriously, half of the Emperors could go, leaving the rest to the Tribulation Realm experts.

However, this time was different from usual. Most likely, most forces would let the Tribulation Realm experts go.

After all, there were too few emperors who defied the heavens, especially when compared to other dynasties and kingdoms.

Yue Kingdom was too small.

Just like now, half of the powerful Emperors within the Yue Kingdom were present, and Jian Wushuang didn’t see anyone who seemed to defy the heavens, unlike the Divine Generals of the Qishen Temple back then.

“Wushuang, you go too!” Wu Li’s expression was solemn, pretending to be profound.

Only then did Jian Wushuang stand up, bow respectfully, and then enter that realm.

For a moment, several streaks of light flew in. A hundred people had entered.

The powerhouses in the hall then focused their gaze on these Emperor juniors.
