Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6471: Headache

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jian Wushuang’s eyes nearly split open in shock when he heard that.

“One vine contains a million units of divine power?”

This wasn’t just a matter of strength—it was simply too outrageous.

Even if its life level was high, how high could it possibly be?

Could it surpass a Realm Beast?

A Realm Beast, even at the Universe Master level, possessing nine million units of divine power, was still considered normal.

He hadn’t expected that the Gui Yun Tree could defy the heavens like this.

Black Prison glared suspiciously and said, “Lord Jian Wushuang, I suspect this tree is lying to you.”

As he spoke, a battle axe appeared from nowhere in his hand.

Gui Yun Tree shot a disdainful glance at Black Prison and said, “I am the great World Tree! Although I am only at the Three Tribulations Universe Master level now, nine million units of divine power are still easy for me. And that’s just pure divine power. With the addition of my inherited secret techniques and the cooperation of my nine vines, my combat power can rival an Eight Tribulations Universe Master. In fact, my battle power matches that of someone with fifteen million units, on the verge of becoming a Nine Tribulations master!”

“That’s an exaggeration—fifteen million units doesn’t quite make you a half-step Nine Tribulations level,” Jian Wushuang corrected him, but he felt pleased in his heart.

This was just a Three Tribulations Universe Master. If it could be nurtured to the Universe God level, wouldn’t it become invincible even among Universe Gods?

If it reached the level of a Time-Space God, it might even crush Star Gods.

This was the advantage of an advanced life form—a million times stronger than ordinary beings.

Among those of the same level, it would reign supreme in the Starry Sky.

But the World Tree’s leaves were limited, and those that contained its Origin Source were even rarer.

Because the World Tree stood at the very center of the Starry Sky, it was incredibly difficult for even Star Spirits to obtain its leaves. Only God Kings could distribute them.

When the Starry Sky was first created, it had been centered around this World Tree. That alone showed how highly valued it was.

It was absolutely the most powerful life form in the Starry Sky—the ancestor of all special life forms.

But sadly, it couldn’t reproduce. No matter how strong it was, there were only a few of them.

If it could reproduce, there would be no need for a race like the Giant Gods.

The World Tree represented the pinnacle of the Starry Sky’s life forms, while the Giant Gods represented the pinnacle of the Starry Sky’s reproduction.

However, the Realm Beasts were even stronger, with no limits to their life levels.

Their Origin Source could even reach the level needed to open up a new Starry Sky.

Jian Wushuang clenched his fist. He had many cards up his sleeve, but he had to become even stronger.

Jiajialin’s words had made him realize that in this world, there were no enemies—only different beliefs.

The supreme beings sought to create a world of order, while his teacher, Xuan Yi, wanted to maintain the current state of affairs.

For now, it seemed that Xuan Yi held this view.

There might also be other unknown factors at play.

But if Jian Wushuang wanted to understand or participate, he would need to be strong enough first.

As it stood, he was still far from that level—far too weak.

He needed to keep surpassing his limits.

“Black Prison, how much further are you from reaching the Universe Master level?” Jian Wushuang asked.

Upon hearing the question, Black Prison immediately responded with a fawning smile, “Master, after I obtain the Origin Source, I can quickly restore myself to the Nine Tribulations Universe Master level. Traveling to the secret realm outside of Nash Universe won’t be a problem!”

“Good. As you said, if that secret realm truly contains powerful God Eye Tribe experts of the Fifth Turn and above, I’ll be counting on your performance,” Jian Wushuang said, raising an eyebrow.

“Master, rest assured. Anyone below the Nine Tribulations level stands no chance against me!” Black Prison boasted confidently.

Jian Wushuang nodded with satisfaction. “Very good. You go ahead and refine that Origin Source. I have some other matters to attend to.”

“Yes, Master!” Black Prison respectfully took his leave.

In fact, Jian Wushuang could have created a microcosm for Black Prison, which would have been equivalent to giving him an alternate universe. The power might even have been stronger.

But Jian Wushuang didn’t fully trust him.

This chubby black fellow spoke flippantly and was far from reliable.

With Gui Yun’s current strength at the perfect Eight Tribulations level, Jian Wushuang felt more confident, which was why he dared to allow Black Prison to regain some of his strength.

Jian Wushuang felt that if he pushed himself too hard, he might lose control. If that happened and he faced a backlash, it would be troublesome.

His overall combat strength was still too weak. Without the assistance of Gui Yun, he couldn’t even handle a Universe Master. In the end, he was still just a mortal in the Great Completion stage, relying heavily on the body of the Realm Beast and the boost from the Origin Source Totem.

Without these aids, not to mention Universe Masters, he wouldn’t even be able to defeat the absolute peaks.

“I should go and check on that little girl, Jiang Ni,” Jian Wushuang thought about his companions. Initially, he had planned to build a force of his own and search for the God Eye Clan in the Ninefold Time-Space. However, Guardian Yunhai and the others had all fallen.

Now, within the Nine Prison Pagoda, only Xiang Yang, Immortal Jiu Chen, and that one luan bird remained. The luan bird was of the God Eye Clan and wouldn’t be of any help to him.

Xiang Yang and Jiu Chen both had promising Origin Sources, but they were currently at a critical moment in the path of unity. Once they broke through, nurturing their Origin Sources could help them quickly reach the perfect level of the absolute peak.

At that point, Jian Wushuang could ask the luan bird to teach them the God Eye Clan’s secret technique for the first three revolutions. With their divine power and Origin Source meeting the requirements, they could rapidly ascend to the Tribulation stage.

Jian Wushuang also had a jar of microcosms. He could reward them with one each, directly helping them grow to the Ninth Tribulation stage, perhaps even to a demigod level.

With these two powerful allies, he wouldn’t have to rely on Black Prison anymore. He gauged their progress in unity; there was still a ways to go.

Deciding not to focus on them further, Jian Wushuang crossed the barrier and arrived outside the Ancient Star Domain.

Swoosh!

Emerging from the underground, the Ancient Star Domain hadn’t changed much from before, except there were far fewer cultivators. Currently, there were only a few hundred thousand left, but every one of them was a Dao Lord. There were also quite a few Dao Lords of the Imperial level.

In recent days, the Ancient Star Domain had developed nicely. However, it was time for Jian Wushuang to leave. He planned to take the entire Ancient Star Domain with him.

This time, he didn’t waste any time. He intended to find Jiang Ni directly, reunite with her, and then leave together. At the moment, Jiang Ni was still stuck in comprehending the Origin Source of Death. Across the Ninefold Time-Space, Jian Wushuang was the only one who could guide her in this area.

If she were left to cultivate on her own, it would take her at least ten million years to fully understand the Origin Source of Death. With Jian Wushuang’s help, this time could be drastically reduced. He couldn’t promise that she would master it within a century, but Jian Wushuang was confident that within ten thousand years, he could help her elevate the Origin Source of Death to perfection.

At that point, she would need Jian Wushuang’s guidance to merge the three major Origin Sources. This was a critical step, one Jian Wushuang took very seriously.

After all, Jiang Ni was the only daughter of Hui Qing, and he needed to teach her well.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but imagine what would happen if Jiang Ni met Jiang Shang again in the future. Would she choose to help her mother seek revenge, or would she forgive Jian Wushuang?

If Jiang Ni discovered that it was her biological father who had killed her mother, what would her reaction be?

Of course, in this world, both Hui Qing and Jiang Shang were remnants, mere fragments of their original selves. Jiang Shang’s remnant largely came from the Heavenly Maiden in the ancient Moon Time-Space.

The Heavenly Maiden was Jiang Shang, and Jiang Shang was the Heavenly Maiden. Hui Qing’s remnant had been left behind from her time with the Heavenly Maiden.

“Chaos!”

Jian Wushuang felt a headache just thinking about it.
