Legend of Swordsman

The most crucial aspects were the physical body, strength, and Thought power in the first three stages.

Among these, the most important was the spiritual Thought power.

Successfully channeling the physical body’s strength through Thought power to achieve perfection was the key to passing the first three stages.

Jian Wushuang felt confident.

He turned his gaze to the wall on the left front side.

There were three lamps.

The first lamp represented the physical body.

With a thought, his consciousness instantly entered the lamp.

Inside was a micro-space.

Before him, various physical forms were arranged.

The challenge here was not to use one’s own body but rather to master another physical form.

In simple terms, this stage tested one’s control over a physical body.

As long as he chose a form he could control, he could proceed to the next stage.

Now, his task was to select a physical form and then master it.

If he couldn’t control it, he would need to switch to a weaker form.

There were nine physical forms in a row.

Jian Wushuang didn’t dare to be careless and began testing them one by one, starting from the first.

Mastery didn’t require claiming ownership; he merely needed to try each form to see which one suited him best.

Starting with the first one.

Though called a physical form, it was actually a mass of flesh, into which he could project his soul and freely transform it.

With a flash!

He instantly transformed into his own appearance, with the form’s strength determined by his soul power.

Thus, this physical form now had the strength of a Godly State’s peak form.

However, its life force was 1,000-fold stronger.

It had already reached the level of a Special Life Form.

Ordinary human cultivators couldn’t control it.

Particularly those in the Godly State; they would likely be expelled by the oppressive force above as soon as they entered the body.

No wonder they had created blood mist and a blood-colored passage outside the temple.

Those were set up later. According to what Immortal Jiu Chen mentioned, they were originally created in the Skyfire Domain when Jiu Chen still had his own forces. Back then, his ambition was already showing.

To prevent weaker beings from bothering him, he created the blood mist world and the blood-colored passage.

These were all made from ancient demon blood.

Whether it was the blood of that Flame Emperor, he did not know.

However, the temple’s master, also a Universe Master who followed the path of fire, seemed like a coincidence.

Jian Wushuang burned his Thought power, increasing his soul power a hundredfold. Controlling this form, which had a life force 1,000-fold stronger, was effortless for him. In fact, he accidentally burned his Thought power too intensely, causing the physical form to warp slightly under the pressure.

There was no choice. Without any suppressive force here, he could burn as much Thought power as he wished.

In an unguarded moment, his Thought power surged to around 500-fold. This required a physical form with 5,000-fold life force to withstand such soul power!

Jian Wushuang’s heart stirred as he immediately left that physical body.

Now that there was no more suppression, he could utilize the second layer of the burning secret technique.

Burning his soul power once would return 10-fold the soul power.

The returned power would then be burned again, and the second stage of burning could yield 100-fold the soul power.

For example, if he initially burned 90 percent of his soul power, it would return with 90-fold the soul power. Upon burning it a second time, his soul power would instantly break through to 900-fold its original strength.

And the secret technique for burning thought power had five layers.

This was just the beginning.

Of course, all of this was possible because he continuously replenished his soul with his original body.

It also contained the consciousness of a Realm Beast, which was the most terrifying power of

all.

The consciousness of a Realm Beast was equivalent to the consciousness of the Starry Sky. After all, the Starry Sky was created by Realm Beasts.

Everything within the Starry Sky, including all those so-called innate and acquired beings, no matter how powerful, ultimately derived from the materials of the Realm Beasts themselves.

His thought power contained the will of the Realm Beasts, which was essentially the will of the Starry Sky.

Such a powerful will was not something that could be compared to those Special Life Forms that had been divided into countless layers of existence.

Without even attempting the second body, he directly moved on to the third.

His soul entered, his appearance transformed, and his thought power ignited.

He followed a familiar process, starting to control the physical body.

He performed various techniques with his fists, palms, and legs.

There was no pressure at all.

The life level of this body had reached 9,999-fold.

It was just a sliver away from becoming a perfect Universe-level Special Life Form.

Naturally, he wasn’t satisfied with this body.

He then attempted the fourth body, a perfect Universe-level Special Life Form with a life

level of 10,000-fold.

This time, everything felt natural and smooth.

However, when he saw there were still five more bodies remaining, he took a deep breath and suddenly noticed something unusual.

The one who crafted this First Sequence Temple at best matched a Universe God.

It wasn’t surprising that he could obtain a perfect Universe-level Special Life Form, or even

create one.

Beyond the Universe-level was the space-time level of Special Life Forms.

These were Special Life Forms with life genes exceeding 10,000-fold, which were not

particularly rare and were easy to acquire.

But among the remaining five bodies, could there be a Starry Sky-level Special Life Form?

Driven by curiosity, he decided to try the fifth body.

This time, he pushed the second layer of the burning thought power secret technique to its

extreme.

It reached 1,000-fold his soul power.

Yet even changing the physical form seemed to be a struggle.

”The life level of this body has actually reached 30,000-fold!” Jian Wushuang endured the oppressive feeling, barely managing to alter his appearance, but his movements had become

stiff.

He knew he couldn’t pass the three-stage assessment.

But he was unwilling to settle for an ordinary Universe-level body.

He increased the burning of his thought power again.

”Third layer of burning, Extinction!”

Buzz!

His thought power instantly soared from 1,000-fold to 5,000-fold.

This time, it wasn’t that he couldn’t control the body, but rather that the body couldn’t

withstand him.

However, his soul was starting to feel strained. Although it was constantly replenishing, it

was still only at the divine form level.

”It seems I need to improve my realm!”

With a thought, Jian Wushuang created a small opening in the Nine Prison Pagoda, allowing his soul’s original body to return, but keeping his realm at the Primordial Spirit level.

At this level, he had stepped into the realm of laws, similar to when he was a law master in the

native world.

In the orthodox division of realms, a law master was already at the peak of the Primordial

Spirit level.

Once he suppressed his realm to this level, his soul indeed felt much lighter.

At the Primordial Spirit level, one could sever the divine, and divine thought would become incredibly powerful, naturally capable of enduring more burning.

He no longer felt satisfied with this body either, and his thought power moved directly to

another clone.

”Right, I can split my soul power to control the other bodies. How would the inheritance

assess that?”

This sudden idea intrigued him.

Moreover, all these bodies were spherical fluids, naturally immortal beings.

Wouldn’t they also be able to merge into one?

Because each body was at the extreme level within its own realm.

Nine extremes.

He suddenly wanted to try the strongest body.

The first body: Life level of 1,000-fold. The second body: Life level of 5,000-fold.

The third body: Life level of 9,999-fold.
