Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6397: If You Have a Backstory, You Have to Use It

”Back then, we were all about the same. But after encountering the Palace Master, each of the Four Guardians received a high-grade treasure set. Even someone like me, a Ninth Step True Immortal, managed to get one piece of high-grade treasure!” Xue He Ancestor sighed with emotion.

This wasnʼt mere flattery; it was simply the truth.

With the backing of a super powerhouse, one naturally acquired more treasures.

Of course, oneʼs own strength had to be sufficient as well.

However, for someone like True Lord Xueyang, whose elder brother was a super powerhouse, it didnʼt matter whether he was strong or not. Even if he did nothing but laze around, he could be pushed to the level of immortality.

”Why donʼt I have a big brother like Yang Dingtian?”

This was the thought everyone had.

They didnʼt need to work hard, yet could still obtain such powerful treasures.

Their treasures had been bestowed by the Two-Faced Buddha, but they had risked their lives countless times to exchange for them from his hands.

Even so, there were still many who envied them.

This was the gap.

”This kidʼs physical body level has probably already reached five thousand times. What a freak. If his Origin Source Dao and Divine Eye techniques get any stronger, when he becomes an Immortal True Immortal, he might surpass us in no time!” Xue He Ancestor exclaimed.

Guardian Yunhai didnʼt disagree.

That was indeed the case. Although True Lord Xueyang was still in the Mahayana stage, his foundation was incredibly deep. The only reason he was stuck at that level was likely because he hadnʼt yet comprehended an Origin Source Dao that satisfied him.

You could see it just from the way he acted.

True Lord Xueyang had taken the path of the Space Dao, which included both the Wind and Water Daos.

He was simultaneously comprehending two Daos.

Moreover, both of these Daos were at least Third Grade Origin Sources. If they fused into the Wind and Rain Origin, it would become a top-tier Second Grade Dao.

At that point, if he comprehended a Second Grade Thunder Origin, he could ascend to a First Grade Origin.

This was True Lord Xueyangʼs ambition.

A First Grade Origin Dao, combined with his cultivation of the Divine Eye technique, was of the highest rank.

Even if he didnʼt merge with a sequence inheritance later, he could still walk the Origin path, or specialize in the Dao of Divine Power through his physical body.

Integration would become much easier.

Becoming an Emperor Lord would be even more attainable.

This flawless cultivation path was clearly designed by Yang Dingtian himself.

Unfortunately, True Lord Xueyang was too arrogant.

He foolishly brought people into the Two-Faced Godʼs Mansion to explore an ancient demonʼs palace.

Watching the desperate True Lord Xueyang, Guardian Yunhai and Xue He Ancestorʼs eyes were filled with disdain.

Not using your background? How foolish!

This was not something worthy of respect.

If you wanted others to admire you, you should make full use of your resources for cultivation. Once your strength was close to your elder brotherʼs, then you could act all aloof.

By then, at least you could stand shoulder to shoulder with your elder brother.

But True Lord Xueyang, at this point, was just a small Mahayana stage cultivator, yet he wanted to free himself from his brotherʼs influence.

Did he think he could become a super powerhouse on his own?

What a dream.

Naive!

Not only did Xue He Ancestor and Guardian Yunhai think this way.

Even Fairy Ziyu and Old Man Tiancan shared the same view.

The flattery they offered back then was nothing more than a means to curry favor.

If they were to speak honestly, True Lord Xueyang had no sense of timing. Jian Wushuang thought the same, but it was a common problem among cultivators. Some geniuses with powerful backgrounds were overly proud, to the point of arrogance. Others, with similarly powerful backgrounds, were too reliant, eventually ruined by the overindulgence of their families.

Both were extremes.

What one truly needed was to remain neither arrogant nor impatient, and also to face some setbacks.

As with the current situation involving Xueyang True Lord, if he could escape, he might have a chance to walk the path of a powerful warrior in the future.

Unfortunately, this time, no one could save him.

Boom!

Guardian Qifeng blocked the treasure Xueyang True Lord had just unleashed with just one hand.

”This treasure is not bad, capable of stabilizing the soul and focusing thought power. But in your hands, it hasnʼt shown its true potential!” Guardian Qifeng smiled lightly.

He had a reason for being so eager to act-he had known that Xueyang True Lord carried a treasure, so he rushed to make a move.

This way, the treasure would be his.

Initially, he thought it was just an ordinary treasure, at best a middle-grade one.

To his surprise, the treasure within Xueyangʼs body was actually a high-grade treasure!

And it was a high-grade soul-stabilizing treasure.

Such an item could be exchanged for two or three high-grade offensive treasures.

Even if he entered the Ancient Demon Palace, he might not gain such a significant reward.

”Haha, this treasure is mine!”

Guardian Qifeng wasted no time, his figure bypassing the attacks and rushing straight toward Xueyang True Lord.

He had no choice. The treasureʼs power was too strong, and although Xueyang True Lord hadnʼt fully unleashed it, breaking through would still take time.

After all, the treasure had been refined by Yang Dingtian and had completely fused with Xueyang True Lord. Otherwise, how could a mere Great Ascension stage cultivator like Xueyang True Lord possibly wield a high-grade treasure?

Seeing Guardian Qifeng charging at him, Xueyang True Lordʼs mouth bled. His eyes were filled with reluctance, but an even stronger will urged him to make one final stand.

”All of you, die!” Xueyang True Lord suddenly raised both hands, and his entire body exploded. A burst of white light flashed, and a massive light gate appeared.

No!

That wasnʼt a light gate!

Guardian Yunhai, who had a clear view of the situation, suddenly shouted in fury, ”Everyone,

fall back! Do not approach!”

He immediately retreated himself as he spoke.

Tian Can and Purple Feather Immortal swiftly escaped at full power.

The so-called light gate wasnʼt actually a gate but a spatial rift.

This wasnʼt a void rift.

This was a spatial rift.

It came from the ancient domain world.

A grand world was incredibly stable.

Only an Emperor could tear it open.

But now, with Xueyang True Lordʼs body exploding, he had managed to summon a spatial

rift, clearly revealing his final trump card.

Guardian Qifeng was startled. He wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

The now transparent Xueyang True Lord grinned. ”Itʼs over!”

”Infinite Wind!”

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, a white wind gust emerged from the spatial rift, instantly

shattering Xueyang True Lordʼs soul, and the high-grade treasure he carried was swept away

by the Infinite Wind into the spatial rift.

But the remaining gusts of Infinite Wind continued to rush toward Guardian Qifeng.

Guardian Qifeng was a cultivator of the Origin Source of Wind.

The Third-grade Origin Source Path was the weakest form of the Wind Origin Source.

The Second-grade Wind Origin Source contained both wind and rain paths.

The First-grade Wind Origin Source combined wind, thunder, and rain paths.

Yet none of these origin sources could create the Infinite Wind.

Only a stronger Ultimate Origin Source could summon the Infinite Wind.

The Ultimate Wind Origin Source!

It contained all the minor paths of wind and merged them into the most powerful Wind Origin

Source.

As a cultivator of the Wind Origin Source, Guardian Qifeng knew well that if the Infinite Wind touched him, he would be finished.

”How is this possible? How could that kid summon the Infinite Wind? There isnʼt a single Dao

Emperor with the Ultimate Wind Origin Source in the entire ancient domain world. How did he manage this?” Guardian Qifeng was full of curiosity, but he still had to evade.
