Legend of Swordsman

Jian Wushuang was somewhat surprised, still thinking about the agreement with the Realm King.

In the years he had been away, it seemed a lot had happened.

Now, Wu Zuo and the others could even establish connections with the Realm King.

“When Wu Zuo was searching for an Origin Source, he encountered the Realm King. They made an agreement, and only then did the Realm King hand over the Origin Source to Wu Zuo. Now that the master has revived, Wu Zuo and Hu Qing have gone to Qianye Planet to fulfill that agreement!”

“What kind of agreement?”

“It seems like a competition. There is an ancient relic on Qianye Planet that appears once in every cycle. When it appears, all the Universe Gods come to compete. The strongest one can obtain a treasure nurtured by the Realm King Continent!”

Upon hearing Babata’s explanation, Jian Wushuang exclaimed in surprise, “A treasure nurtured by the Realm King Continent? Isn’t that a gift from the Realm King? What kind of agreement is that?”

He didn’t quite understand.

Babata understood even less.

However, Jian Wushuang could sense that there was something more to this.

He increased his speed.

In the extreme east, Qianye Planet.

It was called a star, but it actually resembled a giant war machine.

Even the spacetime around it was gray.

From the outside, the star looked ancient and dilapidated.

But the power it held was undeniable, especially the renowned Qianye.

Each leaf was enormous, spanning billions of miles.

Moreover, they were incredibly sharp. If someone were to activate Qianye Planet to attack a practitioner, even a nine-star Universe God would struggle to defend against it.

It was a super treasure capable of crushing a nine-star Universe God.

This was Jian Wushuang’s first reaction upon seeing it.

Swish!

He descended onto Qianye Planet.

With a thought, he detected the presence of Wu Zuo and the others.

In a flash, he appeared on a steel island covered in sewage.

Splash!

He landed from the sky.

Standing right in front of Wu Zuo and the others.

“Jian Wushuang!”

The sharp-eyed Wu Li was both surprised and delighted to see him.

Wu Zuo and Hu Qing quickly turned their heads to look.

Upon seeing that familiar face, they could no longer contain their excitement and ran towards him.

“Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting!”

He nodded slightly.

“It has been a long wait!”

The Northern Realm King appeared behind him.

Looking at them, his eyes were filled with relief.

“Come on, let’s go inside and talk. We won’t leave until we’re drunk tonight!”

“No problem!”

The five of them entered a nearby dilapidated hut.

Although it looked ruined from the outside, the interior was intact.

They sat facing each other, looking out at everything through the gray iron windows.

Raindrops fell slowly.

Inside, they clinked their cups.

After drinking a considerable amount of wine, they began to talk about the events of the past years.

Jian Wushuang started by sharing the events of the Realm King’s realm.

He first described the structure of the Realm King’s realm, which alone left them gaping in astonishment.

When he mentioned his ten consecutive victories in the arena, their blood boiled with excitement.

As for the matter of Morosa, he didn’t mention it because it was too far removed from their experiences.

If it hadn’t been for his time in the Realm King’s realm, Jian Wushuang himself wouldn’t have encountered it.

So, he didn’t bring it up.

“My experiences over these years may not be as exciting as Brother Wushuang’s, but they aren’t bad either!”

Wu Zuo raised his wine glass and smiled smugly.

“It’s just that you’ve connected with the Realm King. Someone might think you’re the Great Realm King!”

“Well, you’re not wrong. Back then, the Realm King did say that I had the demeanor of a Realm King!” Wu Zuo wasn’t annoyed by these words; instead, he seemed quite proud.

Wu Li shook his head with a bitter smile.

He didn’t argue further, knowing Wu Zuo was shameless.

Everyone knew about Wu Zuo’s deeds, except Jian Wushuang.

So, Jian Wushuang was the most curious.

“Brother Wu Zuo, tell us, how did you connect with the Realm King?”

“That’s a long story!” Wu Zuo smiled faintly, a nostalgic look in his eyes.

“It was a terrifying place, I swear I’ll never go there again, never dare to even glance at it!”

Through Wu Zuo’s eyes, it seemed one could glimpse that horrifying place he described.

Hell!

A place so dreadful even the Universe Gods considered it hell.

Everywhere were the evil thoughts of life after death.

Once fallen, one became neither human nor ghost.

It was there that Wu Zuo met the Realm King.

The reason he went there was to find an Origin Source to revive Jian Wushuang.

“The Origin of Death!”

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang patted Wu Zuo’s shoulder, saying everything without words.

Grateful for his help.

“At that time, I went deep into it, encountering an extremely evil thought that wanted to drag me in. At the critical moment, the Realm King appeared, not only saving me but also giving me the Origin of Death!”

“Of course, nothing in the world is free. Only after I agreed to one of the Realm King’s requests did he give me the Origin Source!”

At this point, Wu Zuo deliberately paused, glancing at Jian Wushuang.

Everyone else knew the answer, so they didn’t care.

The first time they heard Wu Zuo tell this, they were just like Jian Wushuang, eyes wide with surprise and curiosity.

This was the effect Wu Zuo wanted; seeing Jian Wushuang hooked.

Then he continued: “It wasn’t exactly a request, but a promise. However, you all only know that the promise was to find the opportunity granted by the Realm God Continent on Qianyue Planet. You don’t know the real meaning!”

“What meaning?” Wu Li asked, full of curiosity.

Wu Zuo hadn’t mentioned this before.

“Fishing!”

Wu Zuo’s face turned slightly serious as he spoke, “The opportunity granted by the Realm God Continent wouldn’t interest the Realm King without reason. It was to lure out a threat to the Realm God Continent!”

“Damn, why didn’t you say so earlier!”

Wu Li and King Shenmu showed frightened expressions.

Wu Zuo hadn’t said this before.

He only mentioned helping the Realm King with a small favor.

So they followed, thinking they could make a good impression on the Realm King.

But now, hearing the truth from Wu Zuo, they panicked.

A terrifying existence threatening the Realm God Continent.

That was extremely dangerous.

To threaten the Realm God Continent.

At the very least, it would be a Ninth Tribulation Universe God.

Among them, the strongest, Hu Qing, was only a seven-star Universe God.

The others, despite years of cultivation, had greatly improved.

But they were only two-star Universe Gods; besides Hu Qing, the strongest was Wu Zuo, a three-star Universe God.

How could they help the Realm King fish?

Lure out the terrifying existence behind the scenes.

“I see!”

Jian Wushuang nodded slightly. He was curious about this part; the rest of Wu Zuo’s story didn’t interest him. He just acted intrigued to give Wu Zuo face.

“Well, now that Brother Wushuang has been revived, this matter is indeed dangerous. I won’t force you; you can withdraw. Wushuang and I will go alone!”
