Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6083: Position of Divine Lord

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He glanced at Zhen Ling in surprise, then turned his head to look at Jian Wushuang.

He assumed it was Jian Wushuang’s idea.

But Jian Wushuang shook his head!

This matter was not Jian Wushuang revealing their true strength, but Zhen Ling’s own decision.

“Back then, I wronged you. This is a form of compensation, but don’t get complacent, the order is only temporary!” Zhen Ling smiled faintly and patted Wu Zuo’s shoulder.

Wu Zuo was taken aback, and his eyes turned red; he hadn’t expected that Zhen Ling would care so much about him one day.

It was a kind of care that didn’t depend on strength.

It wasn’t because he was powerful that he was cared about.

Since returning to Qishen Temple, he had often wanted to show off in front of Zhen Ling, to let Zhen Ling see how strong he had become.

He didn’t want to disgrace his master.

But he had never had the opportunity to showcase his abilities.

The confidence he displayed in front of Zhen Ling was all due to his own strength.

But now, Zhen Ling didn’t consider his strength and just gave him the position of the third divine lord. How could he not be excited?

“Yes!” He nodded heavily, stepping forward with a heavy thud on the stone pillar, as if to say he would definitely keep this position.

Zhen Ling also nodded in satisfaction.

The positions of the three divine lords had already been filled.

For the subsequent positions, Zhen Ling would decide based on who had the stronger aura.

The fourth Divine Lord was “Wutian!”

The name Wutian was unfamiliar, but everyone knew about the Tongtian Buddha.

Even in the current Qishen Temple, Tongtian Buddha had left behind the most disciples and followers.

The once Wuliang Buddha was now a Universe Master in the Fourth Tribulation realm. He also found Wutian unfamiliar, completely different from the Tongtian Buddha he once knew.

The former Tongtian Buddha, in Wuliang Buddha’s eyes, was a complete scoundrel, only well disguised.

But now it seemed he was no longer pretending, having directly transformed into a demon.

His strength had reached an unattainable height, and he felt relieved in his heart.

He was just a small elder in Yuanyang Palace, while the former Tongtian Buddha, now Wutian, had become the fourth Divine Lord.

Indeed, they couldn’t be compared.

So, from the bottom of his heart, he gave his blessings.

But those disciples of Tongtian Buddha couldn’t accept it.

They couldn’t accept that Tongtian Buddha had fallen into the demonic path, becoming Wutian, the Demon Buddha of Nether Hell.

However, at this level, those laws had faded, only the human heart remained unchanged.

After appointing the fourth divine lord, the fifth Divine Lord was even more unexpected.

“Lord Guangying!”

The first among the initial batch of trial participants.

Also a dazzling prodigy.

But few remembered him.

Because it was too long ago, back when those trial participants still had youthful faces, now each one had become a super existence, rivaling the ancients.

Because few recognized him, they were only briefly surprised.

On the other hand, Gu Qianluo felt somewhat dissatisfied, being placed behind Guangying. He silently vowed to surpass him, even to personally kill Mie Sheng and seize the top merit, claiming the position of the strongest Divine Lord.

“The sixth Divine Lord…” Zhen Ling drew out his voice, looking at the remaining three, building up anticipation, and finally pointed to a despondent figure.

“Wanyan!”

Standing in the corner, Wanyan thought he had misheard.

This time upon returning, his condition was the worst among everyone, looking dejected and dispirited, with little hope.

Unexpectedly, he was ranked sixth.

His combat strength was not as strong as Gu Qianluo’s, not even as strong as Dongsheng’s, yet he was placed sixth. For a moment, his gloom dissipated, and a surge of pride filled his heart. He immediately accepted the position, steadily landing on the sixth stone pillar.

Dongsheng didn’t feel any resentment about Wanyan being placed ahead of him; instead, he was happy for Wanyan.

Among the second-generation Inheritors, several of Wanyan’s descendants also felt proud of their ancestor.

Only Gu Qianluo felt it was unfair, but he couldn’t voice it.

He could only silently resolve in his heart to astonish everyone and surpass them all.

At the same time, he eagerly awaited the announcement of the seventh divine lord.

This time it should be him, right?

Unfortunately, Zhen Ling called out a name that even he found unfamiliar.

It was not Dongsheng.

“Grave God Mountain, Fifth Mountain Lord, Xin Jiu!”

This name caused everyone to be shocked.

Especially those second-generation Inheritors.

Xin Jiu!

A Universe Master at the Sixth Tribulation level.

He was not an ordinary Inheritor, so many people were astonished!

Even Shang was very surprised!

“Xin Jiu!” Jian Wushuang also silently recited this name, recalling the young man he encountered while hunting Jiang Shang in the human realm secret territory, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The title of the Fifth Mountain Lord of Grave God Mountain was actually conferred by Shang.

Because Xin Jiu belonged to Shang.

A Universe Master at the peak of the Sixth Tribulation level, not the Hall Master or the Temple Master, but a Mountain Lord without much power, merely the master of one of the peaks established by Grave God Mountain.

But in the fight against the Temple of World Annihilation, he was a sharp blade, having achievements in killing strong opponents of the same level.

It must be noted that after reaching the Fifth Tribulations level, killing an opponent of the same level became a very difficult task, especially in a small place like the downstream spacetime.

Xin Jiu, who was somewhat wooden, did not expect to become a Divine Lord, feeling overwhelmed under countless gazes.

“Go ahead, child, it belongs to you!” Zhen Ling raised his hand and pointed to the seventh pillar.

Only then did Xin Jiu slowly fly over. The moment he landed on the pillar, he could hardly believe it was true.

But a gaze made him tremble all over.

“Congratulations!” Jian Wushuang cupped his fists and smiled at him.

This surprised many people, as Jian Wushuang had not spoken or congratulated anyone since he arrived at the first pillar, but now he was very courteous in cupping his fists to congratulate Xin Jiu.

“Senior…” At this moment, Xin Jiu saw the figure of the person who had led him onto the path of cultivation.

At first, he did not know it was Jian Wushuang, but later, as his strength grew, he began to search for Jian Wushuang’s whereabouts and learned from Zhen Ling that it was Jian Wushuang who had saved him.

He always remembered this name.

He had been waiting for Jian Wushuang’s return.

Now, hearing the praise from that senior, he felt all his past efforts were worthwhile.

He changed the human realm secret territory and also changed his own Dao Heart.

Among the ten Divine Lords, the first local strongman of Qishen Temple had emerged.

Xin Jiu, from the human realm secret territory, claimed the seventh Divine Lord position.

Next, the eighth Divine Lord was given to Dongsheng.

This time there was not much commotion, as the second-generation Inheritors also understood that the Divine Lord position was prepared for Jian Wushuang and his companions.

However, among them, an ordinary Universe Master at the Third Tribulations level showed a proud expression.

Divine General Moyin.

Dongsheng and Wanyan’s master, and their former patron.

Now, in the blink of an eye, his disciples had become Divine Lords.

This made Divine General Moyin feel proud.

In a blink of an eye, the two disciples he had casually accepted back then had both become Divine Lords.
