Legend of Swordsman

....

“Whew!”

Jian Wushuang reverted from that form.

Indeed, it had consumed a lot of energy.

But the growth potential was much greater than that of divine power, with a different upper limit.

There was no point in trying to reason with these people, so there was no need to speak.

Just helping him find answers was sufficient.

Different paths lead to different ends; this saying held true.

“The expenditure of energy you just experienced was immense, yet you persist in your pursuit of the fusion of spacetime and divine power. It seems you possess significant opportunities. While combining spacetime and divine power is not impossible, the cost is substantial. Your current integration can be seen as addressing the lingering concerns after entering the Tribulation Realm,” calmly responded Ruler Yun Zhi.

However, Jian Wushuang persisted, stating firmly, “I will not hesitate as long as I can achieve fusion!”

“Courageous!” praised Queen Yun Zhi.

Patriarch Yanlong also looked pleased and encouraged, “Jian Wushuang, with such determination, the future Kingdom of Yue will not shackle you but instead aid you!”

Even at this moment, Patriarch Yanlong didn’t forget to paint a rosy picture for Jian Wushuang.

Jinchen didn’t think much of it at the time, only recognizing that Jian Wushuang was now stronger than her. But after becoming the Universe Master, it would be different.

She still couldn’t let go of her lingering doubts.

“Since you insist, I will tell you a method. Whether it succeeds is uncertain, and you will need a certain item, not particularly precious. I have a good friend in the Shi Kingdom; he should have quite a few of these items. If you’re in a hurry, you can visit him directly. Take this unrefined jade with you; he’ll understand when he sees it,” Ruler Yun Zhi said, then transferred the method of fusing divine power into the jade along with warmth.

Jian Wushuang received the treasure as if it were a priceless gift and hastily accepted it. “Your grace, I will never forget this kindness from the Queen. Whenever you need me in the future, Jian Wushuang will be at your service!”

He meant every word.

The favor of receiving guidance was greater than anything else, akin to that from his parents.

Though it was directed at Jian Wushuang, Yun Zhi smiled at Jinchen. “I don’t need you to serve me, just make sure you treat this girl well!” She glanced back at Jian Wushuang before adding, “Consider it a favor you owe Jinchen!”

She could see that Jian Wushuang and Jinchen had some karmic connection, but they were not destined partners. It seemed more like a formality.

She couldn’t directly inquire about it, hence the change of words.

Jian Wushuang’s eyes flickered as he agreed readily. Deep down, he suspected that Yun Zhi knew that his relationship with Jinchen was just a facade.

After everyone had resettled, not long after, it seemed Yun Zhi received a message from someone. Frowning, she left first, instructing Jinchen to spend a few days in the Daughter Kingdom and then have a private conversation with her once they were both free.

Seizing the opportunity, Jian Wushuang prepared to depart for the Shi Kingdom.

He would absorb the information contained within the warm jade and prepare for cultivation.

The senior he was going to visit in the Shi Kingdom was a Universe Master at the Sixth Tribulation. However, he was not from the Shi Kingdom, nor was he one of the powerful beings in the Ancient Wood Continent. He was a wandering cultivator who had settled in the Shi Kingdom.

His intention was to craft a sword, which would serve Jian Wushuang’s purpose as well.

Moreover, he could leverage this senior’s help to find a divine blacksmith or craftsman.

It was truly killing two birds with one stone.

“Senior Yanlong, I’ll take my leave first and head to the Shi Kingdom. You don’t need to wait for me. I’ll be back before the Sacred Assembly arrives!”

“Alright, be careful, and if necessary, you can rely on the background of Yue Kingdom!”

Jinchen was drawn to the Daughter Kingdom, showing no interest in where Jian Wushuang was going.

However, when she heard about the Shi Kingdom, there was something peculiar in her gaze.

Jian Wushuang completely ignored it and left directly through the void.

As he departed, two others also left the Daughter Kingdom from the palace above the capital city.

These two individuals were from the Blood Robe Sect. Originally, they were trying to persuade the ruler of the Daughter Kingdom to cooperate with the Blood Robe Sect to explore a cosmic secret realm.

Unexpectedly, they were flatly rejected.

That secret realm could only be explored by a Universe Master.

There were only a few Universe Masters in the Seventh Tribulation.

And each of them had their own agenda, and they were the future of the major sects and powers.

They rarely cooperated with the outside world.

Even if they did, the Blood Robe Sect was wary.

So they set their sights on Queen Yun Zhi.

A newly appointed Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation would be easier to control.

But they were directly rejected.

Patriarch Xue Dao was quite angry.

“Hmph, such arrogance from a newly appointed Seventh Tribulation Universe Master! She will regret it in the future!”

The red-haired youth couldn’t bring himself to hate. He was deeply infatuated with the Ruler Yun Zhi.

Seeing him like this, Patriarch Xue Dao felt like killing him.

“Hmm?”

A breath passed by, and Patriarch Xue Dao became intrigued.

“It’s someone from Yue Kingdom. They’re lucky, actually knowing the Daughter Kingdom’s ruler!” Patriarch Xue Dao felt a twinge of jealousy.

Hearing about Yue Country, the red-haired youth’s gaze turned fierce.

“Elder Xue Dao, why don’t we go slaughter them and snatch that little lady away!”

A sinister fire rose in his belly, he dared not involve himself with Queen Yun Zhi.

But capturing a princess from Yue Kingdom wasn’t a piece of cake either.

Even if they took her, Yue Kingdom wouldn’t dare to pursue.

Patriarch Xue Dao was also heated up, what started as a mere outburst now seemed like a feasible plan.

After all, they weren’t from the Ancient Wood Continent.

“No, only one aura left, the little miss you’re thinking about, she probably hasn’t left!” Patriarch Xue Dao shook his head.

The red-haired youth felt disappointed, saying, “Forget it then, an old bone, I don’t want to gnaw on!”

“Tsk tsk, it’s not that old man Yanlong. It’s an Emperor, the one who targeted you, seems to be called Jian Wushuang, quite formidable!” Patriarch Xue Dao sneered.

Hearing it was Jian Wushuang, the red-haired youth’s interest was piqued again, saying, “Killing him works too, the Origin Source of a prodigy Emperor is quite delicious!”

“Chase after them!”

Patriarch Xue Dao’s aura enveloped the red-haired youth, darting into the void, beginning to track Jian Wushuang.

It wasn’t wise to make a move here.

It’s better to leave the Daughter Kingdom.

As Jian Wushuang flew through the void, he was unaware that he had been targeted.

And it wasn’t just one group.

There was another pair of eyes watching him.

The owner of these eyes, he knew.

And could be said to be very familiar with.

A pair of eyes like copper bells, a slim figure, and emerald green skin.

If not Barb Emperor, who else could it be?

At this moment, the cosmic ship, seemingly amidst chaotic time and space, had quietly arrived at the Daughter Kingdom.

Ruler Yun Zhi becoming the Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation was quite sensational.

Much more than the Holy Assembly.

The Holy Assembly had some attraction to those below the Sixth Tribulation.

But to those above the Sixth Tribulation, it held no appeal whatsoever.
