Legend of Swordsman

Jian Wushuang suddenly opened his eyes, exclaiming excitedly, ”I understand!”

His excitement instantly caught the attention of the few people inside the Nine Prison Pagoda.

”What do you understand?”

”Did Senior Wushuang grasp the Origin Source?”

”Heh, how long has he been alive? It’s already heaven-defying that he managed to reach the peak of the Great Perfection stage. Is he planning to prove his Dao and ascend to immortality right on the spot?”

Now that everything became clear to him, Jian Wushuang had no interest in explaining. He immediately closed his eyes, shutting himself off from everything around him.

At the same time, he also sealed the Nine Prison Pagoda, preventing those inside from hearing anything else he had to say.

He had spoken out of sheer excitement just moments earlier. Thankfully, he hadn’t revealed what he had realized.

Because at that moment, it became crystal clear to him what Teacher Xuan Yi’s true intentions were when he entered this world.

The groundwork laid on the Realm God Continent had prepared him to enter the Realm King Divine World and absorb the majority of Morosa’s power.

This was due to his extraordinarily powerful consciousness. But why was it so strong?

”The Skysight Heavenly Chessboard!”

Back then, he had absorbed all the Origin Source contained within the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard. These Origins were rich in soul essence, which strengthened his own soul.

With a powerful soul came a powerful consciousness. As a result, within the Realm King Divine World, his combat strength had already surpassed the Nine-Star Universe Gods. On top of that, he had absorbed such an immense amount of Morosa’ power.

Shortly after leaving the Realm King Divine World, he had entered this new world.

Through the will of the Realm Beast, he had fused with the Realm Beast’s body.

Finally, he had acquired the secret technique of the Divine Eye Clan.

All of these things had been carefully arranged in advance. He should have realized this much earlier.

Everything had been preparing him for the cultivation of the Divine Eye secret technique, or perhaps it was all meant to break through his limits.

In the Starry Sky, what did it matter how strong you were?

Why was it that only Star Spirits dared to venture out?

Because Star Spirits, in essence, weren’t all that different from Realm Beasts. Or rather, due to some issue with the Starry Sky, Star Spirits couldn’t stay away for too long.

But he was different. Now, all that was left was for him to obtain an Origin Source similar to the Realm Beast’s.

Once he succeeded, he would be just like the Realm Beasts, able to survive and even cultivate in the Void.

This had all been guided by Teacher Xuan Yi. From that memory fragment, it was clear to him that the place where the battles were fought wasn’t in the Starry Sky but in the Void.

”I should have realized this sooner!” He sighed internally.

Indeed, thinking about it now, it felt somewhat like an afterthought.

But it wasn’t too late.

He hadn’t given up on the Divine Eye Secret Technique, and he still had to cultivate it. However, whether or not he could use it in the Starry Sky, he had to be cautious.

After all, the Divine Eye clan had perished. Senior Brother Ghost Eye might still be alive, but the likelihood was that he wasn’t in the Starry Sky.

It was more probable he was in the Void.

Back then, being able to participate in that battle indicated that they were on a path similar to his current one the path of disorder.

Void and disorder!

”If the large-scale burning of the Divine Eye Secret Technique is used in the land of disorder, I can’t even begin to imagine the consequences. During that battle, I didn’t see anyone else using the Divine Eye technique. Now that I’ve started cultivating it, perhaps it’s a method that could change the future!”

He hadn’t thought about it much before, which led to his delayed realization. This time, he dared to think boldly.

Perhaps in this lifetime, he had been reborn, and his return was meant to cultivate the powerful Divine Eye Secret Technique.

The others might also cultivate it.

By then, their strength would increase significantly.

But that wasn’t enough. He couldn’t rely solely on the Divine Eye technique. After all, it was a technique created by someone else. He needed to create his own pinnacle secret technique.

It all depended on how far the Eternal Transformation could take him. If the path of divine power couldn’t be traveled for long, he would switch to another.

He couldn’t forget that memory of how he had fallen.

Failure wasn’t an option!

With that thought, he seized every moment and began delving into the Divine Eye Secret Technique.

The first rotation corresponded to the first level of the Nine Prison Pagoda.

At present, he had only mastered the third layer of the first rotation.

This was roughly equivalent to half of the fifth sequence.

However, this was the complete secret technique of the Divine Eye clan.

The inheritance of the fifth sequence could help a cultivator achieve the effect of the First Eye,

but there were varying degrees of strength.

His one rotation was worth a hundred of others’.

While comprehending the Divine Eye Secret Technique, he also probed the Nine Prison

Pagoda.

As of now, he hadn’t fully grasped the pagoda’s specific function.

”It has the word ’prison’ in its name. Could there be some terrifying beings imprisoned within

this tower?”

He pondered for a moment. It was a possibility, but since there was nothing on the first level, and no threats, it didn’t matter. When he opened the second level, even if there were terrifying entities imprisoned, he could just kill them.

If he could open the second level, he would be capable of killing whatever was inside. For a whole month, he focused entirely on cultivating the Divine Eye Secret Technique. During this time, he didn’t pay much attention to the matters of the Origin Source, as they wouldn’t be useful in the short term. He concentrated on the Divine Eye Secret Technique, and his First Eye had reached the perfect stage.

He wasn’t sure if his speed was considered fast or slow.

He also found himself jumping between comprehending the third, fifth, and even the ninth

rotations.

Although he could understand them, they weren’t useful at his current realm.

This explained why some could directly comprehend the first sequence, which corresponded

to the fifth rotation.

Those inheritors, after all, had only grasped a small part.

If he had started learning the Divine Eye Secret Technique in the Inheritance Holy Land, he

would have avoided many detours.

The Holy Master who had drawn the Inheritance Holy Land to him had merged two sequences, meaning he had cultivated two of the first five rotations.

These two rotations were likely very close to each other.

This created a massive resonance, drawing an Inheritance Holy Land.

The descent of the Holy Land signified that within this part of the world, there was a high possibility someone would cultivate to the sixth rotation.

Although the Divine Eye Secret Technique could be cultivated in jumps, the first five rotations were simple and not particularly difficult. In fact, there wasn’t much of a threshold.

But merging them all was extremely challenging, much harder than becoming a Universe God.

Thus, in the ancient domain, the strongest local experts at most merged two sequences, meaning they had cultivated two of the first five rotations.

If one could merge three rotations, they could then proceed to cultivate the sixth.

In this way, out of the nine rotations, four would have been mastered.

There would be hope to open a Holy Land and become a Universe God.

Moreover, their strength would be exceedingly formidable.

If one wished to cultivate to the seventh rotation, they would need to master four of the first

five rotations.

To reach the eighth, perfect mastery of the first seven rotations was required.

This difficulty surpassed becoming a Universe God by a wide margin. There was also a key factor: the bloodline of the Divine Eye clan. Only by altering one’s

bloodline could one cultivate to the eighth rotation.

Jian Wushuang, however, didn’t face this requirement. He had the formless and invisible body

of a Realm Beast, allowing him to transform into any race at will.

Naturally, he didn’t need to worry about his bloodline.

As for the ninth rotation, he wasn’t sure of the difficulty because not even the Divine Eye

clan’s cultivators could achieve it.

This was because Senior Brother Ghost Eye had left no inheritance for the ninth rotation.

That token was something Ghost Eye had specifically left for him.

Perhaps he had also left it for others- those chosen by Teacher Xuan Yi.

After all, with Ghost Eye around, there were bound to be other senior brothers, senior sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters, and perhaps even a teacher’s wife.
