Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6482: You Won’t Understand!

In the coming days, you will most likely head toward the heavens of this world. Remember, when you go there, be especially cautious of the Universe Sea. You must not be careless.

“As for the metal plate on the sixth level, all you need to do is comprehend its mysteries and combine them with your own understanding. Although it won’t increase your Origin Source level, once you’ve finished cultivating the metal plate, you’ll find that your Origin Source won’t be any weaker than the peak Origin Source of the Realm Beasts, and it may even rival that of a Universe God. This is the true use of the metal plate!”

“Haha, are you starting to realize just how powerful our teacher is? Keep working hard. This is only the first cage. When we meet again in the Land of Chaos, you will still need to cross the Starry Sky!”

After reading the letter, Jian Wushuang furrowed his brows.

This information was of no use to him in his current situation!

… He didn’t care about the metal plate’s purpose.

What he truly sought was the Origin Source of a Universe God.

Right now, the priority was to resolve the backlash caused by the fifth metal plate.

“That’s it! I can ask Cao Wusheng. He’s a member of the God Eye Clan and must have cultivated the secret techniques of the God Eye!”

With this thought, he released the restriction.

Cao Wusheng let out a long breath and spoke, “Is this the treasure meant to deal with my God Eye Clan?”

“You’ve suppressed me but haven’t killed me. Why is that?”

Jian Wushuang didn’t bother with unnecessary words and directly said, “Suppressing you wasn’t my intention; someone else instructed me to do so!”

“Who?”

“Who dares to target my God Eye Clan?”

“Haha, do you truly believe that your God Eye Clan is invincible?” Jian Wushuang found the idea laughable.

How could Cao Wusheng be so clueless?

Had he forgotten how his clan had fallen?

During the subsequent conversation, Jian Wushuang realized that Cao Wusheng truly had no idea.

“You really don’t know how the God Eye Clan was destroyed?”

“I know! It was betrayed by a traitor!”

“No, I mean, do you know who wiped out the God Eye Clan with a single blow?”

“Haha! Who could possibly annihilate my God Eye Clan with just one attack? That’s ridiculous! The God Eye Clan is invincible in this world. No one can defeat us head-on!”

“Our secret technique allows us to burn everything. You can’t possibly understand that kind of power!”

Jian Wushuang scratched his head. This guy really was clueless.

It seemed that he truly didn’t know the secret behind his clan.

But Cao Wusheng was nearly as strong as a Universe God. Shouldn’t he know such things?

Something didn’t feel right!

Jian Wushuang’s eyes flickered.

It was the first time he had observed him inside the Nine Prison Pagoda.

There was something wrong with Cao Wusheng’s Origin Source and soul.

Previously, in the outside world, Jian Wushuang hadn’t been strong enough to investigate Cao Wusheng’s Origin Source and soul.

But here, in his own territory, he could finally see the strangeness within him.

“His soul… it’s split!”

Jian Wushuang’s heart stirred, and he instantly understood.

A split soul meant that the person before him must have a clone or a true form elsewhere.

Recalling how cautious and composed Cao Wusheng had been before, yet how restless he had become after arriving here, Jian Wushuang now fully grasped the situation.

The Cao Wusheng before him was, in all likelihood, just a clone.

Not afraid to die, but certainly afraid of being suppressed!

It wasn’t hard to guess who his true form might be.

It was probably the one being suppressed within the giant serpent’s secret realm.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Cao Wusheng’s face turned wary.

Jian Wushuang’s lips curved into a smile as he remarked, “Cao Wusheng, you’ve hidden yourself well. No wonder you claim to know nothing. It turns out you’re just a split soul. Did your true form never tell you the secret behind the destruction of the God Eye Clan?”

“Or are you simply a puppet of your true form?”

“No need to know too much?”

“What do you mean by that?” Cao Wusheng’s face changed dramatically.

He hadn’t expected his identity to be seen through.

Jian Wushuang crossed his arms, speaking leisurely, “We’ve come this far. Is there any point in hiding?”

“Why don’t we lay everything out on the table?”

“I’ll tell you the secret of the God Eye Clan, and you tell me what’s being suppressed inside the giant serpent’s secret realm. How about that?”

“Dream on!” Cao Wusheng immediately rejected the offer.

What was inside the serpent’s secret realm was the most important secret.

He was merely a clone, with very little of his true form’s memories.

Or rather, he had only inherited the positive memories, while the rest had been withheld.

That was why he was so arrogant and self-confident.

Precisely because all his memories were positive, he had the audacity to talk about the secret of the serpent’s realm.

Jian Wushuang remained unfazed, calmly saying, “Even if you don’t tell me, I can guess. Isn’t it a Universe God of the God Eye Clan being suppressed inside?”

“Surely you don’t think I’m just an ordinary person!”

“Let me tell you, the reason I’m suppressing your God Eye Clan is because I was entrusted by your God Eye Clan’s ancestor!”

“It wasn’t just your ancestor, even your clan’s creator wants to suppress you all!”

“This is fate—you can’t escape it!”

Jian Wushuang tried to use an old trick to deceive him.

But Cao Wusheng refused to listen, roaring in fury, “My fate is mine to decide, not heaven’s! Don’t speak any further. At worst, I’ll die. My God Eye Clan may perish in battle, but we will never be suppressed by someone like you!”

“You, a mere mortal, could never understand the power of the God Eye Clan!”

“Nor could you understand why we fight!!!”

It was clear that Cao Wusheng had his own ideals and beliefs.

To him, the God Eye Clan was great and undeniable.

Jian Wushuang was speechless, sighing, “Alright, I won’t ask about the serpent’s secret realm anymore. But how about we make a deal?”

“Never!” Cao Wusheng seemed stubborn, rejecting everything outright.

“This deal… is for your freedom.”

Huh?

This time, Cao Wusheng wavered.

If he could leave here, he could commit soul suicide and return to his true form without any loss.

But if he were suppressed here, it would be a major problem for his true form.

He had been split off for an important purpose.

“What’s the deal?”

“Your God Eye secret technique, you’ve reached the sixth level, haven’t you?”

“Why do you ask?” Cao Wusheng was puzzled.

Could it be that Jian Wushuang wanted to learn the God Eye technique?

This wasn’t hard to obtain!

There were many holy lands in the Northern Corner Domain, and even the seventh level of the God Eye technique was available.

Why seek him to learn it?

“I want you to transmit the fifth and sixth levels of the God Eye technique to me. Not the cultivation method, but your insights into practicing it. And you must guide me until I fully grasp it!”

“No tricks allowed!”

“If you teach me, I’ll let you go.”

“This condition shouldn’t be too difficult for you, right?”

Jian Wushuang looked at Cao Wusheng.

He was gambling—betting that Cao Wusheng had too much at stake to abandon this clone.

Moments later, Cao Wusheng nodded, agreeing.

The gamble had paid off.

As for whether he would actually release Cao Wusheng—of course, he wouldn’t.

Nor could he.

Once the clone entered, it couldn’t leave.

So when Jian Wushuang swore to release him, he merely promised not to act against him directly.

By “release,” he meant opening the Nine Prison Pagoda.

Whether or not Cao Wusheng could actually escape wasn’t Jian Wushuang’s concern.

“I can teach you, but you’ve disrespected my God Eye Clan. That puts me in a difficult position!”

“What would you like me to do to show respect?” Jian Wushuang, after all, was someone who valued teachers and traditions.
