Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6473: Farewell

She felt utterly powerless.

This feeling was even worse than when she had wandered the world alone.

At least back then, she always believed Jian Wushuang was still alive, probably trapped by the formation inside the Twin Gods Palace.

But as her status continued to rise.

Even when she became the ruler of the Ancient Domain, she still couldn’t find Jian Wushuang.

… She had buried this matter deep in her heart.

At this moment, seeing Jian Wushuang standing before her once more, her gaze was filled with surprise, followed by an endless sense of grievance.

She wanted, just like a junior, to approach Jian Wushuang and complain.

Why did he leave her behind?

She also wanted to ask why Jian Wushuang hadn’t saved Immortal Jiu Chen and Xiang Yang back then.

But as the words reached her lips, she couldn’t say anything.

She just stood up, crossing the distance between them, and gently embraced Jian Wushuang, burying her head in his chest. The tears in the corners of her eyes fell heavily.

This time, it was Jian Wushuang who was at a loss.

He raised his hand, wanting to comfort her, but he didn’t know where to place it.

Only then did he realize that his earlier arrangements had not taken Jiang Ni’s feelings into full consideration.

Because Jiang Ni was truly young.

She had only lived for just over ten thousand years.

Back when he left her at the Twin Gods Palace, Jiang Ni had lived for only over a hundred years.

Ninety percent of that time was spent cultivating, with no contact with the outside world.

It could be said that before she left him, the most significant experience of Jiang Ni’s life had been the time she spent as an emperor in the mortal realm.

“I didn’t think this through!” Jian Wushuang comforted softly.

“All these years, you’ve suffered so much!”

Jiang Ni took a deep breath and released Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang reached out and wiped away her tears, speaking gently, “You’ve grown up; you’ve become a fine young lady!”

Then, the two sat down to chat.

Seeing how sentimental and loyal Jiang Ni was, Jian Wushuang didn’t want to deceive her. He briefly explained his thoughts from back then, using a clever way to let Jiang Ni understand his well-intentioned plans.

Of course, he also explained later that Immortal Jiu Chen and Xiang Yang had been saved, and it had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Ni, naturally, believed him completely.

When she asked why Jian Wushuang had left, Jian Wushuang sighed.

His gaze turned to the distant horizon.

“Uncle Wushuang, did you go to the Abyss back then?” Jiang Ni’s quick mind suddenly made the connection between Jian Wushuang’s sudden reappearance and the recent outbreak in the Abyss.

“How should I put this?” Jian Wushuang, with a solemn face, sighed, “The Abyss couldn’t be without me, just as the Ancient Domain couldn’t be without you!”

“……”

Jiang Ni’s eyes were filled with admiration.

She had always believed that Jian Wushuang’s strength was beyond that of a Dao Lord.

And now, after his triumphant return, her suspicions were confirmed.

Not only had Jian Wushuang come back, but his strength exceeded her imagination.

With just a word, he could elevate her death-origin power to the Small Perfection Stage.

Even the Abyss was something Jian Wushuang had single-handedly caused.

This was the uncle Wushuang she always remembered, the one whose depth was unfathomable.

“Too much has happened over the years. You’ve grown up and matured, and I’ve gone through my own share of experiences. This time, I’ve come to take you away!” Jian Wushuang shared his plan.

He intended to take Jiang Ni away from the Ancient Domain.

Of course, he wasn’t just taking Jiang Ni alone.

He also planned to take the entire Ancient Domain Star.

But explaining everything in detail would have been too complicated.

So he borrowed the matter of the Abyss and told her that he had learned from the Abyss that the Ancient Domain Star was a treasure.

It could be used as a domain-world flying boat.

It could travel across worlds in a day, and cross the universe in a century.

He would use the Ancient Domain Star to take Jiang Ni away from the Ancient Domain.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ni wasn’t surprised; she simply said calmly, “No wonder a barrier suddenly appeared in the underground vault. So it was all your doing, Uncle Wushuang. Now I can rest easy!”

“A small matter!”

“Not worth mentioning, this Ancient Domain Star doesn’t have much going for it.”

Jian Wushuang’s face remained calm.

The usable resources of the Ancient Domain Star were indeed few.

But as a divine artifact, its future development potential was significant.

Still, it wasn’t something Jian Wushuang cared much about at the moment.

He had the leaves of the World Tree, the gray jar, countless microscopic universes. Once he became a Universe Master, by absorbing those microscopic universes, he could easily return to his peak.

Although Jian Wushuang was still unable to directly reach the level of a Universe God, with the Origin Source of his Micro Universe, he was able to wield divine power far stronger than ever before.

He had even surpassed the battle prowess of a Universe God.

These were the treasures that Jian Wushuang truly valued and could rely on.

The Ancient Domain Star was insignificant in comparison.

“Before I came, I had already dealt with the internal issues of the Ancient Domain Star. Now, Xiang Yang and Immortal Jiu Chen are still merging their Dao, and they should be done soon. It’s time for us to leave!”

Jian Wushuang turned his head, standing tall, gazing at the endless chaos.

“I see that you have some karmic connections with many here. Do you want to say a proper goodbye to them?”

Jiang Ni, who had been excited, finally calmed down. Only then did she remember the weight of the responsibilities she now bore.

However, with the hidden dangers of the Ancient Domain Star resolved by Jian Wushuang, there was nothing more for her to worry about.

“Uncle Wushuang, wait for me just a moment…”

After saying this, Jiang Ni’s figure flickered and disappeared from the pavilion.

She went to the Qishen Temple, where she found Elder Yuan Zheng and Lord Long.

At the same time, she also notified King Baiyue.

As for True Immortal Sancai, he had already perished.

Due to Black Prison, he had fallen in the dungeon.

“Jiang Ni, have you made a breakthrough?”

Elder Yuan Zheng was visibly excited. Jiang Ni rarely sought them out unless there was something important, and now she had gathered everyone together.

Jiang Ni shook her head and recounted everything that had happened in detail, without hiding much.

She explained that the time had come for those who were meant to leave, and she was taking the Ancient Domain Star away from the Ancient Domain World.

Upon hearing her explanation, the group found it hard to accept at first.

They immediately felt a sense of relief.

But there was also a sense of unwillingness.

Why should the countless treasures on the Ancient Domain Star be taken away?

These treasures belonged to the Ancient Domain Star!

And this was all according to Jiang Ni’s version of events. Who knew if Jiang Ni was trying to abandon them or if there was some hidden scheme?

Even though Lord Long didn’t harbor such suspicions, King Baiyue and Elder Yuan Zheng couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

But there was nothing they could do—Jiang Ni’s power was simply too overwhelming.

They didn’t have the strength to resist.

Seeing their expressions, Jiang Ni waved her hand and presented all the treasures she had collected, including those given by the Ancient Court.

“These things can serve as compensation.” Jiang Ni felt a bit guilty, but Jian Wushuang had already made it clear—he would be taking the Ancient Domain Star away.

Who could stop him?

Lord Long, looking into Jiang Ni’s clear eyes, sighed in relief and said, “There’s no need for this. The Ancient Domain Star never belonged to any single cultivator, nor to any one world’s cultivators. It belongs to the strong!”

“Take it away!”

“But promise me this: don’t forget that you are a powerful figure who once walked out from the Ancient Domain World!”
