Legend of Swordsman

....

Having negotiated the terms, Zhen Ling directly dismantled the formation in this area.

100 years passed in the blink of an eye!

The First Prison!

Jian Wushuang and the others did not notice Zhen Ling’s actions.

Especially Shen Ling Frolasa, who didn’t even spy on the Four Great Secret Realms. Instead, he instructed those practitioners he had bewitched to cause trouble in the mortal realm, diverting attention.

In the span of 100 years, Jian Wushuang never rested for a moment, and Fuego’s strength had begun to rise.

Jian Wushuang lowered his gaze, his Thought power unabashedly scrutinizing Fuego. Since the other party had no reservations, he could not only sense the opponent’s strength but even see the Origin Source clearly.

It was a multicolored Origin Source, a perfect spatial Origin Source, extremely solid—it was the cosmic space.

There was also a slender Origin Source, the Temporal Origin Source.

The Dao Lord mastered Origin Sources such as Jian Wushuang’s Ultimate Sword Dao and Extreme Dao.

After incorporating the primary Origin Source of their main practice into space, they became Emperors. Even though he could now cultivate the Spatial Origin Source, he had not yet merged the Sword Dao and Extreme Dao into the Spatial Origin Source.

The stronger his spatial Origin Source now, the smoother the integration of the Dao in the future.

However, cultivating the spatial Origin Source in the posture of a Dao Lord was already very slow and extremely difficult. Reaching higher realms seemed unlikely.

Just like now, he had already mastered 99 percent of the black hole, yet still couldn’t take that final step.

If he stepped into the Emperor realm, he might instantly grasp the realm of the black hole, perhaps even rapidly reaching the peak of the black hole realm.

Now a Dao Lord, he found himself constrained.

The Emperor corresponded to space, while the Universe Master corresponded to time.

The prerequisite for becoming the Universe Master was to perfect the cultivation of the Spatial Origin Source.

When he was a Dao Lord, the cultivation of the Origin Source did not need to be perfect to perform Dao Merge. However, upon reaching the level of Emperor, spatial perfection became a necessity.

To condense space and form a universe was the key; without reaching this point, one could not impact the position of Universe Master.

After becoming the Universe Master, the cultivation still involved the Origin Source but at a higher level.

The Temporal Origin Source!

It was a more unimaginable Origin Source, controlling the cosmic time.

Space and time were the two pinnacle Origin Sources.

Mastering the complete spatial Origin Source meant becoming the Universe Master. But what if one mastered the complete Temporal Origin Source?

Jian Wushuang pondered in his heart.

He knew little about the Universe Master, harboring many doubts within himself.

After becoming the Universe Master, one could control a trace of the Temporal Origin Source, a fact he was aware of. However, perfecting the cultivation of the Temporal Origin Source was something he dared not speculate about.

Time, one of the strongest rules.

Perhaps only the Universe Master would truly comprehend it.

Just perfecting the spatial cultivation qualified one to enter the ranks of the Universe Master. But what would happen if both were perfected and then merged into one?

What level would that be?

After observing Fuego’s Origin Source, he felt a great curiosity.

Firstly, because back in ruins of the Three Kings Court, he had encountered Master Xuan Yi and wanted to know what kind of existence he was. His strength was at least at the level of the Universe Master and possibly even stronger.

The Skysight Heavenly Chessboard left for him was a treasure of time and space. Even the powerful Moro Time-Space only had a few similar items.

He never expected that the gift from Master Xuan Yi, given in other domain realms, though special at that time, now seemed trivial in comparison, not considered precious.

But now, it was different.

He felt a sense that he was getting closer to the secrets with Master Xuan Yi.

In the beginning, there was a purpose behind cultivating him, and all of this needed an explanation.

The closer he got, the more perplexed he became.

And what about the experience in the Starry Sky back then? Was it related to Teacher Xuan Yi?

Jian Wushuang shook his head gently; perhaps that wasn’t too closely connected.

However, the Qishen Temple definitely had some kind of association with Teacher Xuan Yi.

Even the First True King back then couldn’t be considered a disciple. The manipulation of the chessboard was a grand scheme orchestrated through the hands of the other party; the planning behind all of this was too vast.

The other party was none other than the First True King among the Three Kings, a powerhouse under the Universe Master.

All of this didn’t catch Xuan Yi’s eye!

The distant Shen Ling, sensing a slight weakening of Jian Wushuang’s mental strength, opened his eyes and looked towards him.

“What’s the matter? Something on your mind?” Shen Ling Frolasa asked calmly.

For Jian Wushuang, he was taken quite seriously.

If he could successfully escape from the Qishen Temple this time, he wouldn’t mind taking Jian Wushuang along. The Life power within Jian Wushuang would be beneficial for him to establish a stable foothold in other temporal spaces.

The Universe Master was formidable, especially since Fuego had reached the pinnacle of the Universe Master. No matter where he went, he would be a dominant force.

But that was still far from enough.

To rule over a temporal space, the required strength had to be at least on the level of the existence in the Qishen Temple.

They still had a long way to go before reaching that level.

Hearing Shen Ling initiate the conversation, Jian Wushuang was somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected Shen Ling to remain so indifferent even now.

In normal circumstances, this wasn’t the most urgent moment. Why would Shen Ling care about him now?

This left him feeling pleasantly surprised!

At the same time, he began to worry, wondering if the other party harbored any conspiracy in their heart.

Although he was currently like a fish on the chopping block, even if the other side were to regain their strength, they probably wouldn’t do anything drastic to him. After all, his Life power was quite special, and no matter who it was, it held great utility.

Jian Wushuang pondered for a moment before expressing the doubts in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ling Frolasa revealed a faint smile.

He had no intention of hiding anything regarding this question.

As a Universe Master, although he had encountered fewer of them compared to ancient Giant God Clans like Fuego, his experiences were not as extensive. However, based on the memories passed down through inheritance, he had some understanding.

“The Universe Master is not as powerful as you imagine, or rather, in other dimensions, it’s quite ordinary and commonplace!”

Upon hearing these words, Jian Wushuang was initially puzzled, but soon he grasped the meaning. Their perspectives were different; the other was born as a Universe Master.

Not to mention the mortal stages, even the mastery of Dao was innate for them, directly traversing numerous levels to reach the pinnacle. However, in the eyes Shen Ling, it was merely a starting point.

In this way, for the Giant God Clan, the Universe Master was indeed simple and ordinary.

“My Lord, could it be that you were born with complete mastery over space?” Jian Wushuang asked in confusion, skeptical about this.

He found it hard to believe that one could be born as a Universe Master with full mastery over space. Shouldn’t that be the domain of Beast Gods born as natural kings?

Frolasa responded casually, “It’s not entirely so. Judging by the standards of cultivators like you, indeed, mastery over space is required to step into the role of a Universe Master. However, don’t forget, the Giant God Clan is not comprised of cultivators!”

As he spoke, Frolasa’s eyes exuded an imposing kingly aura.
