Legend of Swordsman

5072 Birth

But soon, everything changed.

The buildings in the bustling city and the ground under their feet began to shake and tremble.

In an instant, the world spun.

The unkempt old Daoist only saw a blur before being kicked forcefully to the ground.

“Run, let’s see how far you can run!”

Nan Xuan shouted angrily, using his foot to press down firmly on the unkempt old Daoist.

“Alright, spare me, kind sir. I haven’t done anything against the heavens. Please, sir, take a closer look,” the sloppy old Daoist said as he struggled on the ground.

Just then, Jian Wushuang slowly approached him and crouched down.

The sloppy old Daoist, who had been planning to continue begging for mercy, shivered when he saw the newcomer’s face. He closed his eyes and actually passed out.

“Frightened to death?” Nan Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

Jian Wushuang spoke coldly, “If you pretend to be dead again, you’ll really be dead.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sloppy old Daoist woke up. He did not even dare to look at him as he crazily knocked his head on the ground. “Please spare my life, please spare my life…”

Jian Wushuang said coldly, “Shut up, I don’t want to pursue the matter from before.”

The sloppy old Daoist immediately fell silent, not daring to move.

Now, Jian Wushuang had recognized that this old Daoist was Jiang Youxing, the one who had deceived him with overwhelming illusions in the Endless Sea and stolen his Chaos Origin Sealess Fruit. But he had no intention of pursuing the matter further; he only furrowed his brow and asked, “How did you escape from the Endless Sea? Tell me, are there any cracks in the Endless Sea to follow?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youxing trembled again and then said with a bitter expression, “My Lord, there are no cracks in the Endless Sea. The reason I was able to escape is that I abandoned all my fate energy, and I managed to escape while the Heavenly Gate was not completely closed.”

Jian Wushuang didn’t believe his words at all and reached out to sense his luck and fortune. After a thorough examination, he found that Jiang Youxing’s current situation matched his account exactly. Only then did he give up.

“Let’s go,” Jian Wushuang said as he stood up, his face showing signs of fatigue.

Nan Xuan was stunned. Then, he asked, “So, are we just going to let this go like this?”

He did not turn back. “Let him go. There’s no point in killing him.”

Although Nan Xuan was a little angry, he did not kill Jiang Youxing in the end. After giving the old Daoist a kick, he left.

Jiang Youxing slowly got up and sat on the ground, lost in thought for a long time. Finally, after one last glance at the receding figure of Jian Wushuang, he disappeared without a trace.

This journey into the mortal realm had been extremely turbulent, with the encounter of the biggest variable that disrupted everything.

Jian Wushuang no longer had the mood to continue traveling in the mortal world. After hastily appearing, he headed straight in the direction of the Great Mi Heaven.

“Young Friend, you seem to know that old Daoist from before?”

In the void, Nan Xuan asked.

“I know him. We’ve met once, and he stole something from me,” Jian Wushuang said without hiding anything.

He spoke angrily, “I knew that old guy wasn’t a good person, and it seems I was right.”

However, this revelation did not stir any emotions in Jian Wushuang, and he did not harbor any intent to kill Jiang Youxing when he saw him again.

More than anything, there was an indescribable and inexplicable sentiment regarding the Grand Yan Immortals imprisoned in the Endless Sea. It was this sentiment that led him to spare Jiang Youxing.

“Young Friend, what is your ultimate destination?” Nan Xuan inquired.

“The Great Mi Heaven.”

After the battle between the Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals, almost 70 percent of the entire Great Mi Heavenly Region had been destroyed.

Even though nearly 20,000 years had passed, it had not fully recovered.

The remnants of the shattered Heavenly Region plane were still visible, and everywhere his eyes could see, there was a desolate and bleak atmosphere.

“I remember visiting this place in the past. How did it become like this?” Nan Xuan was quite surprised. In his memory, the Great Mi Heaven was one of the top Heavenly Regions within the entire Great Si Region.

However, at present, it seemed that the Great Mi Heaven had suffered some severe damage and was slowly recovering.

He could not possibly imagine that the one who had transformed the Great Mi Heaven into its current state was none other than Jian Wushuang, who was standing beside him.

“Little Friend, what are you planning to do in Great Mi Heaven?” Nan Xuan continued to ask.

“I’m looking for someone.” Jian Wushuang said calmly and took out a map from his pocket.

This map had been drawn by the Young Emperor himself before Jian Wushuang’s departure. However, the map’s directions were quite vague, only indicating the general location of the Sancun Mountain. The exact coordinates remained a mystery.

“To the southwest, the 42nd Heavenly Region,” Jian Wushuang murmured softly, putting the map away, his mind made up.

In the vast expanse of the void, the approximate location of the Sancun Mountain was in the southwest. The farther southwest he went, the further away he would be from the Heavenly Region of Great Mi Heaven, reducing the risk of being pursued by the subordinates of Prince Jiu.

However, even though he thought so, things often turned out contrary to his wishes.

Just as Jian Wushuang and Nan Xuan were about to turn southwest, a deep voice sounded without any warning.

“Stop right there, all of you!”

Seven figures, seven Yan Immortals in total, appeared from all directions and surrounded them.

The leader, a young Yan Immortal, looked at Jian Wushuang with a cold gaze and a hint of mockery on his lips. “Heavenly Official Jian of the Six Heavens Realm, what brings you to Great Mi Heaven?”

Jian Wushuang was slightly shocked. He did not expect an ordinary Yan Immortal to be able to call out his name accurately.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “I have no intention of causing trouble in Great Mi Heaven. We’ll leave now.”

With that, Jian Wushuang and Nan Xuan turned to leave.

“How arrogant. Do you really think you can come and go in Great Mi Heaven as you please?” The young yan Immortal sneered and waved his arm. The other six Yan Immortals released their Yan power, trapping Jian Wushuang and Nan Xuan.

“His Highness the Second Prince wants to see you. I hope you won’t be disrespectful.”

Before Jian Wushuang could respond, Nan Xuan chuckled, “Hasn’t your master ever taught you to read the situation?”

The young Transcendent Immortal furrowed his brow, clearly not paying much attention to Nan Xuan. “And who are you?”

“I am your grandfather!” Nan Xuan roared, and without warning, he unleashed a tremendous surge of power from his palm. With an unimaginable speed, it swept across the surroundings.

This was the pressure of a Grand Yan Immortal, there was no way a Yan Immortal could escape.

The leader, the young Yan Immortal, had barely reacted before his Immortal body was crushed to dust.

The other six Yan Immortals fared no better; they all disappeared without a trace.

In less than a breath’s time, seven Yan Immortals were nowhere to be seen.

“A bunch of insignificant pests, daring to obstruct me?” Nan Xuan’s tone was far from friendly, clearly irritated by the consecutive annoyances.

After dealing with the trouble, Jian Wushuang knew that he could not stay any longer, so he and Nan Xuan disappeared in the southwest direction.
