Legend of Swordsman

This time, Jian Wushuang pressured Jiang Ni to make her understand the path she needed to take.

It was the path of the strong.

The strong walk alone.

There could never always be someone by her side to protect her.

The last time she parted ways with family was with Jiang Shang.

But back then, Jiang Ni was too young to understand why they had to separate.

At its core, it was due to a lack of strength.

If her strength had been great enough, would Jiang Shang have left?

Although Jian Wushuang did not know why Jiang Shang left the Crimson Eyes Realm or why she had been separated from Jiang Ni for such a long time, even instructing her not to seek her out, he understood that it was because Jiang Shang was not powerful enough.

Jiang Ni’s cultivation and her Dao Heart had entirely depended on her mother, Jiang Shang,

It was like the driving force behind her progress.

But that wasn’t good.

One day, when she finally found Jiang Shang, her resolve would scatter.

Therefore, before Jiang Ni could reunite with Jiang Shang, her character had to be reshaped.

Rescuing her mother was just a side mission.

There were far more important tasks awaiting her.

At the beginning, familial ties did serve as a strong motivation for cultivation.

Jian Wushuang had been the same.

Even now, he still held onto the bond of master and disciple as a source of drive.

But the greater belief was in becoming the strongest!

To become the mightiest.

This was Jian Wushuang’s path.

He understood better than anyone how to cultivate the strong.

Now, in nurturing Jiang Ni, he merely applied his own understanding.

Although many might not understand why Jiang Ni was being burdened with so much, part of the reason stemmed from Jian Wushuang’s sense of guilt toward Jiang Shang, Another part was because Jiang Ni would carry many burdens in the future.

Hui Qing’s strength spoke for itself, and naturally, his daughter could not be a weakling.

The path of the strong was the right one.

The future of the world was unpredictable. Even Universe Gods could fall.

What hope would the weak have?

Thus, one must always strive for greater strength.

And as for Jiang Shang, even Jian Wushuang couldn’t discern her exact role in this world, clearly showing that she was entangled in some troubles of her own.

Jiang Ni had both her parents to look up to, so it was natural for her to work hard. Rescuing her mother, breaking through this world, and heading toward the Realm God Continent to reunite her parents-this, too, was a source of motivation.

However, if this were told to Jiang Ni now, it could backfire.

After all, Jiang Ni had no real emotional connection with Hui Qing; all that tied them together was their bloodline.

Thus, it couldn’t be revealed.

When the time was right, it would not be too late to speak of it.

Jiang Ni’s performance just now had greatly satisfied Jian Wushuang. Although her mind had been in turmoil, she had reached the point of touching the Origin Source due to the breakthrough she made in the face of danger.

She wasn’t far from the ultimate swordsmanship.

The rest would require his slow guidance.

”Alright, it’s time to go. I’ll leave a mark on Jiang Ni; she’ll be fine!”

After saying that, Jian Wushuang took Xue Yang and Immortal Jiu Chen and slowly disappeared into the void.

As for Jiang Ni!

She would have her own path to walk.

She shouldn’t follow him blindly.

Staying by his side would mean there was never any danger.

Moreover, if Jiang Ni discovered that Xue Yang and Immortal Jiu Chen hadn’t fallen, it wouldn’t restore her peace of mind. Instead, it would shatter it even further.

It was better to take this opportunity to leave Jiang Ni on her own to venture forth. Secretly guiding her would be far better than keeping her by his side.

Because Jiang Ni had already passed the outburst period, what he needed now was enlightenment. Enlightenment wasn’t something that could be achieved with just a few pointers.

Moreover, even if enlightenment arrived, it would weaken one’s Thought power due to external influences.

Only constant stimulation could awaken a person’s true potential.

Xiang Yang and Immortal Jiu Chen were different. One was a super powerhouse among Universe Masters, and not far from becoming a Universe God. Furthermore, he was a prodigy from a noble family, with the most perfect path laid out for him.

As for Immortal Jiu Chen, he was a true spirit crafted by a semi-divine being. His peak Thought power wasn’t any weaker than a Special Life Form, and his physical body was made from the flesh of a peak-level Special Life Form in the universe.

He also carried the complete inheritance of the Master of Divine Fire in his mind.

Naturally, he didn’t need to take too many risks.

As long as they were given enough treasures, it wouldn’t be difficult for these two to cultivate all the way to the level of Universe Master.

This time, Jian Wushuang’s haul was substantial, and he had obtained a large number of treasures, most of which were given to his physical body.

At the Mahāparinirvāņa Realm, the peak level of life was around two million times that

of an ordinary lifeform.

Further improvement wasn’t possible.

It wasn’t that his soul couldn’t bear it, but rather that this realm couldn’t bear it.

To go higher, he needed the support of powerful Origin Source.

In other words, Jian Wushuang needed to become an Immortal True Immortal before

his physical body could fully surpass the two-millionfold threshold.

At that time, he wouldn’t just have temporary bursts of strength, but rather permanent

power.

If his physical body level exceeded five millionfold, he would need the augmentation of

a Divine Body.

These were specific requirements.

They couldn’t be altered.

No matter how many more treasures were invested, it was impossible to increase further.

So, he stayed at that level.

The remaining treasures were given to Xiang Yang and Immortal Jiu Chen, to help them reach the immortal level sooner.

At that point, with the help of the treasures, they could be directly pushed to Dao

Master Perfection.

As for becoming Unified Dao, that was beyond his control.

At that point, it would depend on their own fortunes.

It wasn’t that Jian Wushuang feared they would fail, but he worried that the time

required would be too long.

”Forget it, it’s not time to worry about them; I’m stuck myself!” Jian Wushuang shook

his head helplessly.

His speed as he traversed the void was extremely fast.

Within a quarter of an hour, he had left the Two-Faced God’s Mansion.

After leaving, he didn’t immediately leave the Ancient Sea Domain, but instead headed to Temple City.

He captured a strong expert from the Divine Eye Clan, one who had cultivated the Divine Eye Technique to its third transformation. He needed to study it carefully. As soon as he entered Temple City, he sensed several strong auras in the city’s teleportation array.

Originally, he had planned to retreat and cultivate in Temple City for a while, but upon arriving, he realized that two forces had already descended.

One side belonged to the powerhouses from the Sacred Lands, while the other side consisted of experts from the Ancient Court.

Outside the teleportation array.

The two forces met. Other than releasing their auras, neither side spoke.

They merely exchanged glances before rushing together toward the Two-Faced God’s Mansion.

Clearly, they were after that piece of Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Jian Wushuang hadn’t taken that treasure.

He had left it on Two-Faced God Mountain.

He didn’t care much for that kind of treasure.

Aside from the Universe Ark, he no longer cared about such trivial items.

After all, his harvest this time had been substantial.

He had collected quite a few valuable treasures.

After the two forces of experts had left, Jian Wushuang visited a Treasure Pavilion,

where he sold off some useless trinkets.

He exchanged them for thirty billion Immortal Crystals and also obtained a batch of

Origin Source.

These were for Xiang Yang and Immortal Jiu Chen.

He also acquired two sets of peak-level Supreme Treasures.

Once these two reached Dao Master Perfection, with the help of these treasures and

the complete Divine Eye Inheritance he had passed down, their combat power wouldn’t be any weaker than an Ultimate Dao Master.

In the future, no matter what troubles they encountered, they would be able to help him.

After finishing all this, Jian Wushuang made his way to God Mountain.

This time, he changed his appearance and aura.

Though his looks remained similar to before, his aura now matched that of a Nine-Step True Immortal.

Thus, the person receiving him was also a Seven-Step True Immortal from the mountain’s peak.
