Chapter 5821: Pathetic and Lamentable

The Wood King from the Yue Kingdom vanished from then on.

The Yue Kingdom's ranks dwindled once more.

Meanwhile, both the outer and inner teams within the Infinite Great World continued to diminish.

Several Universe Masters of the Fourth Tribulation fell.

The tasks assigned by the Ancient Wood Sect this time were unusually numerous.

Many people spared no effort in their endeavors.

Naturally, casualties were abundant.

However, no Universe Master of the Fifth Tribulation had yet fallen.

There were few dangers in the outer regions that could threaten Universe Masters of the Fifth Tribulation.

As for the Sixth Tribulation level of savage beasts, there were probably none in the outer regions, perhaps a few in the inner regions, but the chance of encountering them was even lower than becoming a Sixth Tribulation being.

In the core region, there might be quite a few Sixth Tribulation savage beasts.

But nearing the end, no one would venture around aimlessly; they would all be focused on reaching the finish line.

Their opportunities lay in the outer and inner regions.

In the core zone, even a slight misstep could lead to the downfall of a Universe Master of the Fifth Tribulation.

No one dared to linger.

Everyone pressed forward with all their might.

Many found themselves trapped in dire situations.

Just like Jian Wushuang and his companions, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Beneath the river's surface, amidst the chaotic water grass, numerous aquatic serpents writhed, their powers insignificant, their divine strength not even reaching 10,000.

Yet, despite their feebleness, as long as they were savage beasts, they could survive underwater.

Among these serpents, there was a current of air, constantly swirling.

"I can't believe it didn't take the bait!"

Jian Wushuang sighed, deciding to give up.

Among the aquatic serpents, there was a Fourth Tribulation savage beast, with divine strength of around 500,000.

He had initially intended to lure the opponent into his trap using those serpents.

However, the savage beast paid no attention whatsoever.

A direct confrontation was possible, and he had the capability to kill the savage beast, but it would consume a considerable amount of time.

By the time he finished, the dragon would likely find him, and escape would be difficult.

Now he had collected materials from over a dozen wild beasts. It was probably enough.

He was ready to return to the rubble heap, refine the Conversion Pills, and then quickly leave this riverbank with Jinchen, the farther, the better.

That dragon snake would probably set its sights on the rubble heap soon.

Escaping alone posed no problem for him, but bringing Jincheng along would be tricky.

Plus, he still had to find Wu Li.

Without Wu Li, he couldn't activate the Wanyan formation.

He regretted not stopping Wu Li from going.

Now he was in quite a passive situation.

Dodging past the wild beasts overhead, Jian Wushuang's figure trembled, and with just a few breaths, he traversed space and returned to the rubble heap.

After twisting and turning through the cracks in the rocks, he entered a stalactite cave through a hole.

Splash!

The sound of breaking the water's surface nearly startled the two Li family Universe Masters into action.

But upon seeing it was Jian Wushuang, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing him return, Li Sheng, who was cross-legged recovering his power, also opened his eyes.

"It seems your recovery is going well!" Jian Wushuang said.

Li Sheng smiled awkwardly. At the Sacred Assembly, who wouldn't have some treasures to restore their divine power?

This time, he had almost exhausted all his treasures trying to recover from his injuries. Yet, he still couldn't reach his peak.

"Friend Wushuang, how are your preparations?" Li Sheng's tone was flat, not daring to be presumptuous anymore.

Now, he could barely protect himself, let alone look after the two juniors of his family.

He couldn't afford to offend Jian Wushuang. They were now relying entirely on Jian Wushuang to refine the pills and ensure their safety here while waiting for news from the Empress.

Jian Wushuang casually found a flat place to sit cross-legged and said calmly, "The materials are enough. Let's see how lucky we are this time!"

With the materials obtained this time, he could try twice more. If the third attempt succeeded, then everyone would get a Conversion Pill!. Of course, he didn't need one.

There were still four others here, plus Wu Li.

He had to refine five of them.

In the order he intended to preserve, the first was Wuli, and only then Jinchen.

The rest were not prioritized; he would decide based on his preference.

Li Sheng's eyes held a world-weariness, reminiscing that just a few days ago, he was full of

spirit, but now he appeared so battered.

All those familiar faces, one by one, had fallen.

Compared to them, the Lee family's plight was even worse.

Of the Four Great Titans, only three had arrived.

All had fallen.

In the end, all the struggles led to nothing but downfall.

Only those stronger could protect themselves.

If blame were to be assigned, it would be to his own lack of strength!

Now his greatest aspiration was not to contend, but to preserve the hope of his family.

"Then, I'll trouble Daoist Jian Wushuang. If I succeed, my Li family will surely offer gratitude

and pay a visit!"

Li Sheng lowered his stance to the utmost.

He hoped Jian Wushuang could succeed in refining!

Jinchen's strength was meager, unaware of what was happening outside. Yet, she could

surmise that those who had left might never return.

Then there were the two Universe Masters of the Li family.

Both were prodigies, but in the face of true opportunity, their family provided no shelter.

They were left out in the cold.

Ridiculous, pitiful!

Lamentable!

Jian Wushuang paid no attention to them, starting to refine the conversion pill alone.

At his level, alchemy required a pill furnace.

All he needed to do was to refine the materials and throw them into the Origin Source; there

was nothing stronger than the Origin Source.

The first attempt.

He needed to harmonize the Yin and Yang.

Just like merging water and fire origins.

But the difference between humans and savage beasts was not comparable to water and fire.

He had experimented numerous times with death and life.

Combining the human race with savage beasts wasn't particularly difficult for him.

It was the details that proved trickier; a slight mistake could mean starting over from scratch.

If only the external pressure wasn't so intense.

He could have easily conducted over ten thousand experiments.

With enough practice, he could ensure success every time.

But now, time and circumstances didn't afford him that luxury!

He had to complete it as quickly as possible.

"Failure!"

The first failure didn't surprise him!

It was expected.

For one of the crucial steps in refining the transformation pill, he needed at least three

attempts.

The first failure was acceptable.

But he wouldn't allow a second.

He refused to believe that luck could be so bad as to fail twice out of three.

The second attempt succeeded as expected.

He continued refining.

All the way to the final step.

Choosing one out of nine.

According to his experience, he could eliminate the six least probable paths.

Leaving him with three choices.

However, this time the probability of the three choices was only 10 percent.

Because it was also possible that he had eliminated the nine paths.

That was the most difficult part.

But he only had one more chance to try.

"I cannot fail!"

Unfortunately, some things often didn't go as planned.

And he failed again.

Watching half of the materials go to waste.

Even if he succeeded on the third attempt, it wouldn't be enough for their group.

But now there was no other way.

They could only grit their teeth and continue.

If necessary, they would have to venture outside and slaughter some savage beasts.
