Legend of Swordsman

Actually, it wasn’t worth Tongtian Buddha’s time to be here.

“Thief, prostitute, robber!”

The combined strength of these three wasn’t even a match for Jian Wushuang’s breath.

But Tongtian Buddha shook his head, “It’s not that simple. Over these years, I’ve observed that the fortunes of these three are exceptionally strong. They’re no ordinary people. There must be some powerful figure who has arranged something special against me. We mustn’t act recklessly!”

He had become somewhat numb to it all now, seeing complexity in everything.

With just these three, Jian Wushuang could have dealt with them with a bit of time, but he was somewhat skeptical.

With a casual gesture, time around them began to accelerate.

Jian Wushuang stood up, observing the changes around him. With a flick of his hand, time froze, and he and Tongtian Buddha found the thief. The thief was in the act of stealing lambs from a farmhouse.

“Some things don’t need my intervention. It’s quite simple, really. If he wants to steal sheep, just turn him into one and be done with it. After all, he’s just a mortal, living a few hundred years at most, while you can still break free from this!”

The thief didn’t steal sheep out of choice but out of not knowing how to obtain one through legitimate means.

Now, Jian Wushuang was about to teach him a way to acquire a lamb.

With a divine power, he directly altered the thief’s physique, allowing him to rise to the ranks of a martial arts expert.

No longer would he need to steal for a single sheep.

Tongtian Buddha stood by, watching without intervening, nor did he heed Jian Wushuang’s words.

Initially, they thought they had dealt with the problem, but soon Jian Wushuang felt some regret.

After becoming a martial arts expert, the thief not only didn’t abandon his thieving habits but intensified them.

From stealing, he progressed to robbery, and even murder.

It wasn’t as simple as they thought.

Minor changes could amplify the evil in one’s heart infinitely.

Whoosh!

Jian Wushuang once again altered time, this time to a roadside stall.

Even the porridge on the table emitted steam.

“Wushuang, I’ve told you, this is a test from some powerful figure. It’s not as simple as you think!” Tongtian Buddha chuckled in triumph.

But Jian Wushuang was still stubborn, feeling that if he couldn’t change even a mortal, he had reason to doubt.

With a flash of body and mind, when he reappeared, there were bloody hands on the table. Since teaching to fish didn’t work, he would just cut off the head of the ringleader of evil deeds and see what the consequences would be!

Tongtian Buddha clasped his hands together, silently chanting, “Virtuous!”

“This is true virtue!”

Peering into the karma, they found that the thief had indeed stopped stealing because the people in the small town were kind, and the thief met a good end.

It was a beautiful ending.

Then came the second one.

The prostitute!

This was also why Tongtian Buddha was mocked as the main culprit behind the scenes in the alley of fireworks and willows.

Prostitution wasn’t inherently evil in this world.

But the deeds of this prostitute were extreme.

And extreme was evil!

Every one of her clients ended up with broken families because of her.

Jian Wushuang, with Tongtian Buddha, found the prostitute.

Instead of teaching her to fish, they sought punishment.

Hiss…

The prostitute had a bewitching appearance, truly a scourge.

This time, the punishment was simple. They directly disfigured her face.

Her appearance became ugly, her skin starting to rot.

This was the punishment for wrongdoing.

Jian Wushuang was unlike Tongtian Buddha; he wouldn’t give these people too many chances.

Tongtian Buddha shook his head disapprovingly.

The courtesans lost her beauty, and her business plummeted.

Though the red-light district was ruthless, it still harbored the world’s compassion.

The courtesan, having lost her patrons, didn’t starve to death. Instead, her became servants in the brothels, securing their well-being in old age.

The last one!

A bandit.

This time, Jian Wushuang didn’t waste words; he swiftly dealt with the opponent’s life.

With a single action, he transformed the entire world into a paradise as imagined by ordinary people.

Pure and without impurities.

“Everything’s settled now; your test is over!” Jian Wushuang clapped his hands, indicating

that everything was sorted out.

But Tongtian Buddha continued to shake his head, sighing, “The world may have changed for the better, but my heart remains unchanged!”

“Your understanding is still lacking. Ultimately, you only sought to become stronger for yourself, thus changing them… Tongtian, you lack love in your heart!” At that moment, Jian Wushuang directly exposed Tongtian Buddha’s innermost thoughts.

Jian Wushuang, seemingly carefree, was actually astute.

Cutting off the thief’s hand, messing up the courtesan’s face, killing the bandit-

It was all a facade, all for this moment.

Tongtian Buddha, initially serene, now had a drastically changed expression, his state of

mind shaken.

Years of effort were destroyed by Jian Wushuang’s words.

“No!” Tongtian Buddha plunged into darkness, unwilling to acknowledge the darkness

within his heart.

Deprived of the Buddha’s radiance, he transformed completely into a flame of darkness!

Jian Wushuang shook his head in dismay. “Wu Zuo was right about you; you’re truly trapped!”

Water Moon Cave was just a facade.

All talk of enlightening sentient beings was a lie.

Or rather, it was a lie to Tongtian Buddha.

This was the brilliance of Realm King.

In reality, the only one who needed enlightenment was Tongtian Buddha himself.

The entire Water Moon Cave was an illusion!

Jian Wushuang saw through it with a single point.

This place was not a hidden paradise but an infernal abyss.

The territory of Bai Divine Mountain.

Tongtian Buddha hadn’t participated in Bai Divine Mountain’s trial at all; instead, he had

made a grave mistake, falling into hell and being punished there all along.

This was why no one outside paid attention to him.

When hell manifested, even Bai Divine Mountain trembled.

Tongtian Buddha’s previously bald head even grew long hair.

With hair cascading down and eyes shrouded in darkness, his transformed heart remained

selfish.

From Buddha to Demon Lord.

As Bai Divine Mountain shook, soon, a Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation descended

to investigate.

“Wutian!” Upon seeing Tongtian Buddha, the Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation

from Bai Divine Mountain exclaimed, preparing to suppress him.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang was no longer concealed, fully exposed.

With a single palm, he directly pushed away the Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation,

causing no harm.

Boom!

After being pushed away, the Universe Master was extremely surprised. Upon seeing Jian Wushuang’s face, he was stunned. “Jian… Jian Wushuang?”

“Don’t bother him; any losses will be mine!” Jian Wushuang crossed his arms, standing in the

void, observing Tongtian Buddha’s transformation.

Tongtian?

Wutian!

The changes were indeed significant.

And the change in strength was even greater.

As long as Tongtian Buddha was willing to abandon his former hypocrisy and become a true

demon, it was possible to leap over the Seventh Tribulation.

This was the opportunity given to him by Realm King.

Opportunity belonged to everyone, and everyone was equal.

The opportunities for each of them, ten in total, were actually quite similar.

It depended on how they seized them.

Tongtian Buddha, or rather, Wutian, the Heaven of the Infernal Abyss!

At this moment, he was struggling with the last shred of consciousness in his heart.

As long as this consciousness was erased, he could successfully transform.
