Legend of Swordsman

4870 The Black Ocean Treasure

The short sentence was like a thunderbolt that exploded in Jian Wushuang’s mind.

The moment one stepped into the Grand Yan Immortal realm, it was the true beginning.

Comprehending the Emperor’s fate energy, fighting for the throne, everything was in the Grand Yan Immortal cultivation realm!

Similarly, the difficulty of the cultivation path to advance to the Grand Yan Immortal realm was far beyond imagination.

This was no longer something that could be achieved through years of cultivation. Instead, it required an ethereal fate energy and opportunity to break through to that cultivation realm.

Countless Yan Immortals could only be trapped in the Yan Immortal realm in despair for their entire lives.

The most typical example was Chen Qing. Even though he had already comprehended the Immortal Style, he still had not touched the barrier, so breaking through to the Grand Yan Immortal was an unimaginable hope.

Seeing that he was silent, the Young Emperor repeated, “Brother Jian, do you want to reach the Grand Yan Immortal realm?”

The reason why Jian Wushuang did not answer was that there would be too many implications if he agreed.

In layman’s terms, it was an irrefutable principle.

“It’s not that easy to advance to the Grand Yan Immortal stage,” Jian Wushuang frowned slightly.

“As long as Brother Jian agrees, I’m 99 percent sure that I can help you become a Grand Yan Immortal,” the Young Emperor said seriously.

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, the Young Emperor’s eyes flashed with a touch of sadness, and then he said, “The reason why I am so confident is that an Elder under the Imperial Father turned his lifetime’s Enlightenment into an inheritance and left it in the Six Heavens Realm, waiting for a Yan Immortal to accept his inheritance.”

“Due to my Immortal body’s flaw, I can’t cultivate. I can only be in the Yan Immortal stage for the rest of my life. Naturally, I can’t obtain that inheritance.”

“But now, we can’t wait any longer. The Six Heavens Realm must have a Grand Yan Immortal to protect it in the next battle.” As he spoke, he reached out and held Jian Wushuang’s arm tightly.

“I’ll try my best.” Jian Wushuang finally answered.

The Young Emperor smiled in relief. “Alright, then I’ll do my best to wish Brother Jian the best for your promotion to the Grand Yan Immortal!”

After leaving the Heavenly Court, the two of them headed straight back to the Six Heavens Realm.

That old Elder under Zhen Wuyang was at the peak of Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal, and he had followed Zhen Wuyang to conquer all Heavenly Regions. Even Grand Yan Immortals of the same realm had the fear of dying when facing him.

He learned from the Young Emperor that such a Grand Yan Immortal had died of his own will.

He voluntarily dispersed his Immortal Source and shattered his Immortal body, leaving only his inheritance in the Six Heavens Realm.

Before he died, he said something about how boring it was, and then he died.

Listening to his continuous introduction, the image of a well-developed, flesh-and-blood Grand Yan Immortal appeared in Jian Wushuang’s mind.

He even wanted to meet this Grand Yan Immortal with a rather unique personality.

This unknown Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal’s inheritance was left in the third Heavenly Region of the Lower Three Heavens. No one else knew about it except for the Young Emperor.

After nearly a year’s journey, they finally returned to the Six Heavens Realm.

Under the Young Emperor’s guidance, the two of them headed straight for the third Heavenly Region in the Lower Three Heavens.

As the barrier around him rippled, the scene of the third Heavenly Region appeared in his eyes.

An ocean, a pitch-black ocean. An ocean so black that stretched as far as the eye could see.

It was like the night had gathered on the ground, the black color seemed to be able to absorb all light, making the entire third Heavenly Region chaotic.

Along with the boundless black ocean, there were many tall Black Mountains that slanted in the black ocean.

Eeriness, deathly stillness, and desolation were the main colors here.

“This is where the Elder’s inheritance is.”

The Young Emperor pointed ahead and said, “As the third Heavenly Region is almost entirely covered by the black ocean, it is very difficult to mine the Black Mountain Crytsals. So after I took over this Heavenly Region, no one else has set foot in it and it has remained the same until today.”

Jian Wushuang nodded, “Where will his inheritance be?”

“It seems to be in the Nether Abyss Continent. It’s been so long that I’ve forgotten about it. Let’s go and check it out first,” the Young Emperor said with an embarrassed expression.

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and threw out a ray of clear light, which turned into a wooden boat and settled in the black ocean.

“This miasma can easily affect one’s mind. Let’s take a boat there, it’s safer.”

After the two of them sat on the wooden boat, it spontaneously broke the surface of the sea and sailed forward.

“Before the Elder decided to die, he intended to pass on all his insights to me. However, I was born with a defect, so I couldn’t cultivate and have Immortal roots. Naturally, I couldn’t get his inheritance.”

Sitting on the wooden boat, the Young Emperor told Jian Wushuang calmly with a faint smile.

“Other than my companion and my so-called brothers, you’re the only one who knows that I have a flaw.”

Jian Wushuang looked at him and asked, “Why are you telling me this? You can keep it a secret.”

“Of course I’m trying my best to keep this a secret. After all, if the news that the Great Emperor Zhen Wuyang’s eldest son is a good-for-nothing who can’t cultivate were to spread, it would have a very bad impact.”

“But I also want to confide in someone else,” the Young Emperor said with a smile. “And you are the only friend I want to confide in.”

“Thank you. I will keep this a secret,” Jian Wushuang nodded and said solemnly.

He continued, “This secret is my biggest weakness. Anyone who knows about it can easily injure me.”

“I can’t cultivate. Even if I’m a Yan Immortal now and have mastered an Immortal Style, I can’t hide the fact that I don’t have Immortal roots or Immortal Source.”

“Everything I have now was given to me by my Imperial Father using a secret technique. Hence, the Yan Immortal cultivation realm is my limit. Even if I spend my entire life, I will never be able to break through.”

“I thought that I would die in the assassination, but Brother Jian’s arrival has given me hope.”

The Young Emperor said solemnly, “So, no matter what, I have to make you the Grand Yan Immortal in this period of time!”

Jian Wushuang did not say anything. He had been thinking about a problem since a while ago.

From the Young Emperor’s performance and what he said, he knew that his Immortal body had a huge flaw and that he was unable to form Immortal roots and Immortal Source.

This was a fatal point. In layman’s terms, it was a body that was born with no way to cultivate.

At the same time, Jian Wushuang could not figure out how such a useless body could become a Yan Immortal and master an Immortal Style. It was simply incredible.

He was also thinking about whether he could open up another path, a path of cultivation that was different from ordinary cultivation.
