Legend of Swordsman

He sat cross-legged in the depths of the Origin Source, not uttering a single word. Jian Wushuang knew the other was deep in thought.

Thus, he wasn’t in a hurry to threaten or entice him.

He didn’t even bring up the previous topic again.

After an hour had passed, Jian Wushuang took out a teapot, brewing tea by himself. Finally having some rare free time, he naturally wanted to make the most of it.

When YiNa Yiluan opened his eyes, he turned and glanced mockingly at Jian Wushuang, saying, ”What’s the point of just drinking tea?”

”How about some wine?”

Hearing his tone, Jian Wushuang immediately knew this guy was about to relent.

”Sure, it’s been a while since I’ve had any. I wonder if you have some good wine?” YiNa Yiluan teased.

Jian Wushuang really didn’t have any wine.

The tea set was something he had obtained from the hands of slain cultivators.

But the wine had long been discarded.

He thought it took up too much space.

Without hesitation, he reached out with his thoughts and contacted the Four Guardians of the Dual-faced Buddha.

He managed to obtain two pots of fine wine.

Casually tossing one pot to YiNa Yiluan, he watched as the other removed the cork, took a sniff, and then chuckled, ”Let’s stick with tea!”

Clearly, YiNa Yiluan wasn’t impressed with the wine Jian Wushuang had given him. Truthfully, even Jian Wushuang wasn’t satisfied with it.

Back in the day, what kind of wine had he been drinking?

A single pot of wine could rival the value of an entire Universe, and it was even possible to brew wine using the resources of a Universe.

Now drinking this stuff was simply adding to his frustration.

Tea, on the other hand, was fine. The more mundane it was, the more one could appreciate its subtleties.

As they sipped tea, the two chatted leisurely.

It was as though they were old friends who had known each other for years.

This time, neither of them held anything back.

Jian Wushuang only omitted information about his identity in the outside world and

his cultivation path. Other than that, he concealed nothing.

YiNa Yiluan, on the other hand, shared a great deal, holding back the least.

This guy could really talk.

Starting from his birth, he talked for three whole days and nights.

The first two days were spent talking about himself, and on the last day, he finally spoke of the Divine Eye Clan.

From the mouth of a peak-level cultivator, Jian Wushuang seemed to glimpse a glimpse of that once-great civilization.

The Divine Eye Clan.

They had spread throughout the Starry Sky, the dimensions of time and space, and the Realm God Continent.

YiNa Yiluan was a member of a branch of the Divine Eye Clan located on the Realm God Continent.

He hadn’t lived for too long.

Shortly after his birth, having reached the peak for less than ten thousand years, he encountered the Great Catastrophe.

This was the source of the Divine Eye Clan’s extinction.

The Realm God Continent shattered.

Nearly all of the Divine Eye Clan perished.

Because most of the clan’s strongest members resided on the Realm God Continent. Thus, the Realm God Continent became the most heavily drained region at the time. Even if it hadn’t been broken by the Realm Beasts, it would have been difficult to repair later on, and it still would have collapsed.

After the Realm God Continent shattered, the surviving members of the Divine Eye Clan, as well as the deceased cultivators of the clan, were all sealed within this world.

YiNa Yiluan didn’t know the name of this place.

He only knew that, after accidentally awakening, he had wandered aimlessly through countless worlds, entering this Universe and exploring tens of thousands of realms.

After encountering countless powerful figures, Jian Wushuang stood before the sight of what was called the Nash Universe.

The current universe was known as Nash Universe, and it housed the presence of a Universe Master. However, the Universe Master did not control this universe directly; instead, they commanded a universe-level secret realm. Jian Wushuang wasn’t surprised by this.

A Universe Master did not necessarily need to govern a universe; controlling a secret realm of the universe worked just as well. This was because the Origin Source of a secret realm and that of a universe were essentially the same-the only difference lay in the spatial range. Once one mastered a universe’s secret realm, they could freely absorb its Origin Source. That was the key.

Normally, a Universe Master who controlled a universe couldn’t relocate it or absorb it into their body. Such feats were only possible after reaching the Seventh Tribulation Realm. Still, there were some individuals who could accomplish this in advance, especially if they inherited a powerful legacy.

In the past, the top ten powerhouses of Qishen Temple had each been able to compress a universe into themselves. This was all thanks to the Realm King. Jian Wushuang guessed that in this world, such techniques didn’t yet exist, except perhaps within the Divine Eye Clan,

With this newfound understanding of the Nash Universe, Jian Wushuang formed a rough idea of the world. Universes were scattered across this realm, much like the flow of time and space. However, this world was completely cut off from the outside, making it an isolated dimension without a clear origin. In other words, it had been left behind after the fall of a Time God.

This dimension had given birth to thousands upon thousands of universes. As these universes shattered and cycled through reincarnation, they formed the Sea of Universes. On the other side of this Sea of Universes lay the source of this dimension, the remnant of the fallen Time God, referred to as Heaven.

Jian Wushuang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he considered this.

”Heaven must be the Heaven of the Wanliu World, and the Wanliu Divine Tree likely exists within this world. With Heaven positioned at the origin of time, and the Wanliu Divine Tree being a Life Tree, its life force-though inferior to the World Tree-would still be incredibly powerful. Vise left it behind and placed it at the source of this dead time-space dimension. It should easily be enough to revive the Divine Eye Clan. But... could they also be attempting to revive the fallen Time God?”

Jian Wushuang silently speculated. But for now, such concerns were still far off.

Getting out of the Ancient Domain World was trouble enough. The history of the Divine Eye Clan was vague even to Na Yiluan. Before the Great Cataclysm, she only knew that their sacred land was located in the Giant Star District of the Starry Sky. Beyond that, her knowledge was limited.

In the Realm God Continent, the Divine Eye Clan had many branches. Nine of these were the most powerful bloodlines, each one of them headed by an ancestor who was a Universe God. Of course, these weren’t just any Universe Gods-they were among the strongest, likely possessing the strength of at least seven stars, since each had mastered the eighth transformation of the Divine Eye Secret Technique.

The Divine Eye Secret Technique was a condensed version of the Mysterious Yi Sutra, but with the additional ability to burn one’s divine power, an act so defiant of the heavens that it had become a revered and eternal legacy. Every time Jian Wushuang thought about it, he couldn’t help but admire his Ghost Eye Senior Brother once again.

Back to the topic at hand.

Besides the nine peak bloodlines, Na Yiluan mentioned there were many branches of the Divine Eye Clan, all established by Universe Gods. She herself came from one of the nine peak bloodlines, the ”Femo” lineage.

Femo was the powerful Universe God who had founded this bloodline. Although Femo had fallen, there was still a chance of resurrection, According to Jian Wushuang’s theory, universes beneath Heaven couldn’t birth Universe Gods, nor could they withstand one. It was highly likely that the Divine Eye Clan’s Universe Gods were all residing in Heaven.

Jian Wushuang wasn’t in a rush. By the time he had to deal with these figures, he would have already mastered the Origin Source. Would he fear them then? Once he mastered the Origin Source, he could ascend to Dao Lord in one step. Afterward, he would begin preparing for the Dao Fusion. The issue of Dao Fusion wasn’t difficult for him. He could skip the Emperor level entirely.

Once he reached the ultimate pinnacle, all he would need was his Gray Jar to continuously devour universes. He would keep consuming them until he reached the Ninth Tribulation Realm. By then, when he regained his peak strength, he could shatter this entire world with a single punch.

He thought optimistically, though not overly so, since no one could predict what unforeseen events might happen. Even among the Divine Eye Clan’s branches, some Universe Gods were still formidable.
