Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6470: Gagarin

Jian Wushuang sneered coldly, saying, “You’re underestimating Ghost Eye too much. He already prepared a backup plan for me, but I need your help!”

“Tell me!”

“Take me away and put me in the ninth layer of the Nine Prison Pagoda. You don’t need to worry about the rest!” The man with the severed arm said truthfully.

However, this request put Jian Wushuang in a difficult position.

The fact that the other party could mention the Nine Prison Pagoda meant that he wasn’t lying.

… It was highly likely that everything was true.

The only thing troubling him was throwing the man into the ninth layer of the Nine Prison Pagoda.

At the moment, he simply couldn’t do that.

Forget the ninth layer, even the fourth layer was a challenge for him.

Seeing Jian Wushuang’s expression change, the man with the severed arm was surprised and said, “Don’t tell me you don’t know about the Nine Prison Pagoda!”

“That’s not it!” Jian Wushuang shook his head and said, “It’s just that I’m still a bit far from reaching the ninth layer.”

“I understand. If you could open the ninth layer, you’d already possess the Origin Source of the Realm Beast!” The man with the severed arm said casually. “Tell me, what layer are you at now? Have you reached the level of mastering an Origin Source?”

“The third layer.”

“?”

The man with the severed arm was furious. “I’ve observed that you’ve been in this place for over ten thousand years, and in these ten thousand years, you’ve only broken through to the third layer?”

“Ten thousand years, and you’ve only reached the third layer?”

“Is that considered slow, or fast?” Jian Wushuang asked curiously.

This left the man with the severed arm speechless.

In his opinion, with Ghost Eye’s eye for talent, he should have at least chosen an extraordinary genius. In ten thousand years, breaking through the ninth layer might not be realistic, but the first seven layers shouldn’t be a problem.

Who would have thought that in ten thousand years, Jian Wushuang had only broken through to the third layer?

When Jian Wushuang mentioned that he had only made it through the first three layers after capturing a member of the Divine Eye Clan, the man nearly fainted from anger.

“From now on, I’ll teach you the Divine Eye Secret Technique!”

“You?” Jian Wushuang was skeptical.

The man with the severed arm said coldly, “Don’t forget who the Divine Eye Secret Technique is modeled after!”

After some thought, Jian Wushuang realized it made sense—they did share the same origin as the Realm Beast!

“So, what now?” Jian Wushuang asked. “I can’t just stay here forever!”

The man with the severed arm replied calmly, “You might not be able to move, but this Primordial Star can move!”

“Oh?” Jian Wushuang was surprised. “This is a Primordial Star?”

“Yes, in your terms, it’s a divine artifact!”

Jian Wushuang was delighted. If that were the case, there would be no need to search for the domain ship anymore.

With the Primordial Star, he would be invincible in the Ninefold Space-time Continuum.

However, his joy was short-lived as his fantasy was quickly dashed with a cold reality.

The power within the Primordial Star was too limited.

It couldn’t even function at its peak.

Even the sea of divine power left by the Universe God could barely drive the Primordial Star. Its speed was decent though—it could cross a chaotic world in a single day.

In a hundred years, it could cross an entire universe.

This speed was acceptable to Jian Wushuang.

However, a powerless Primordial Star could only be used for traveling.

At least the man with the severed arm could guide him in cultivating the Divine Eye Secret Technique.

This time, he wouldn’t need to capture any more members of the Divine Eye Clan.

Once his strength was restored, he could capture them all when the time came.

Yet, even under the guidance of the man with the severed arm, after three thousand years, Jian Wushuang hadn’t even reached the beginner stage of the fourth turn of the Divine Eye Secret Technique.

The man with the severed arm, “Gagarin,” was not angry. Instead, he comforted him, saying, “Jian Wushuang, you have decent talent, but you’re not suited for cultivating the Divine Eye Secret Technique. You’re more suited for slaughter!”

“Go, take the Primordial Star and search for powerful Divine Eye Clan members. I have some information for you. In a secret universe-level realm, several powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan are hiding. They may not have awakened yet, but even if your true combat power isn’t enough, you should still be able to suppress them with ease!”

Jian Wushuang looked confused and asked, “What about you?”

“I’ve been lying here for billions of years; a little more time won’t make a difference!”

“Go, leave before I lose my temper!”

Jian Wushuang pouted. He felt the problem was with the other party’s teaching.

It wasn’t his fault!

However, he had to take something before leaving.

For example, Hei Qiu.

This guy was quite a useful helper.

“Hei Qiu, are you willing to assist me?”

Hei Qiu patted his belly and replied slyly, “As long as you don’t abandon me, I’m willing to take you as my godfather!”

“Be serious!” Jian Wushuang barked, “From now on, follow me, and I will help you become a Universe God. But first, I need you to capture some members of the God Eye Clan for me. Your status among the Void Cultivators is quite high, and I need you to help me contact them and search for the whereabouts of the God Eye Clan!”

“Don’t worry, my lord, that’s easy for me!”

Hei Qiu was visibly excited.

Even though earlier, he hadn’t understood a word of what Jian Wushuang had told the one-armed man.

Something about supreme beings, God Kings…

He hadn’t heard of any of it.

The only thing he knew was Vis. That, he understood.

Upon hearing that Jian Wushuang was acquainted with Vis, he made up his mind to cling to Jian Wushuang’s leg.

He needed to hold on tight.

Becoming a Universe God was no longer just a dream.

“Mhm, as long as you’re dedicated, even Time and Space God is within your reach!”

Jian Wushuang had begun his grandiose promises again.

Though in truth, he had rarely fulfilled the promises he’d made to others.

The one-armed man and Gagarin returned to the darkness.

Jian Wushuang and Hei Qiu, meanwhile, took a Universe God and an ocean of divine power as they left the Demon Kiln.

The Origin Source of divine power was meant to fortify this Primordial Star, so Jian Wushuang couldn’t take it with him.

However, he did loot all the treasures from the Cave Heaven Sect.

These treasures were enough to elevate his Gui Yun Tree to the level of Universe Master.

As a Special Life Form with a life force level in the millions, the Gui Yun Tree required extremely rare treasures to evolve.

Even all the treasures from a super sect below the level of a Universe God were barely enough to push the Gui Yun Tree to the Universe Master level.

And even then, it wasn’t quite sufficient. Hei Qiu had to release a significant amount of Void Force to allow the Gui Yun Tree to fully evolve.

“Master!”

After evolving to the Universe Master level, the Gui Yun Tree gained consciousness.

This greatly excited Jian Wushuang.

He immediately asked, “Gui Yun, how strong are you now? How many vines can you control?”

“Nine!”

Jian Wushuang was a bit disappointed.

Only nine vines? That was far too few.

Even a pinnacle expert had two. Now that it had become a Universe Master, its power should have multiplied dozens of times, at least to the point where it could control dozens of vines.

To his surprise, Gui Yun solemnly replied, “Master, my limit as a Universe Master is thirty-six vines!”

What it meant was that controlling nine vines was already quite impressive.

Jian Wushuang began making more promises.

“Gui Yun, you’re a leaf of the World Tree. You have a life force level in the hundreds of millions. You shouldn’t claim your limit is thirty-six vines. Your limit should be infinite. Don’t worry, with my help, you’ll become even stronger!”

“Thank you, Master!”

Hei Qiu stood beside them, his expression unchanged, but inwardly he was cursing Jian Wushuang for even trying to deceive a tree.

He had just promised to help him become a Universe God, a Time and Space God!

Yet here he was, immediately turning around and asking Hei Qiu to use his own power to cultivate a tree.

“By the way, how much divine power does each of your vines contain now?” Jian Wushuang casually asked.

Gui Yun obediently replied, “Each one contains one million divine power!”
