Legend of Swordsman

Jian Wushuang had spent nearly 20,000 years in the pursuit of the ultimate knowledge within the vast expanse of time. During these two millennia, he had managed to uncover many of the ancient secrets, even those hidden from the most knowledgeable of Grand Yan Immortals.

The Ancient Era was a time when multiple Emperors coexisted, and countless prodigies emerged, each forging their own supreme Dao.

To Jian Wushuang’s knowledge, there were five Emperor Sovereigns, each presiding over their respective Heavenly Courts within the Great Si Region, governing their domains.

They were Yang Jun, Su He, Daodong, Fenghua, and Liu Ya, representing the Great Si Region.

However, numerous other EmperorS existed as well. The Ancient Era was a prosperous era, with a multitude of Emperors, not to mention the Grand Yan Immortals.

However, with the appearance of Zhen Wuyang, everything eventually turned to dust. According to Jian Wushuang’s knowledge, nearly ten Emperor had perished at the hands of Zhen Wuyang, and as for the Grand Yan Immortals, they were even more numerous.

Jian Wushuang also understood why there were so few remains of Grand Yan Immortals in the Great Si Region. It turned out that all their remains had been pushed into the Great Desolate Wilderness to fill its borders.

This was a long-buried secret, one that had lost much of its significance, whether known or not.

Stepping onto the boundless land paved with the bones of countless Grand Yan Immortals, Jian Wushuang walked alongside Yu Chang at a leisurely pace.

”The Great Desolate Wilderness is endless, and the bones beneath our feet are also endless. The Emperor have sent you here as a punishment, but it’s a necessary measure to warn and unite the others.”

”Moreover, the Emperor decided to send you to the Great Desolate Wilderness as a result of our joint discussions.”

”There are two reasons for this: firstly, to serve as a warning and unification; secondly, the Great Desolate Wilderness does indeed require some renovations.”

”Renovations?” Jian Wushuang looked at him, somewhat puzzled.

Yu Chang nodded. ”Indeed, that’s correct. This vast Great Desolate Wilderness is also in need of some renovation.”

Jian Wushuang found it difficult to comprehend. ”Are you saying that even in a place where Yan power cannot exist, there may be Grand Yan Immortals?”

Yu Chang replied, ”Indeed, it’s highly unlikely that any Grand Yan Immortals would come to this place, not even the Grand Yan Immortals themselves would step into this Great Desolate Wilderness. However, in all things, there are exceptions.”

Yu Chang spoke, and with a wave of his arm, a wild gust of dust swirled up on this Immortal Bone Road.

As the duststorm roared to life, faint traces of something began to emerge on the Immortal Bone Road.

Jian Wushuang instinctively looked down at the footprints appearing on the road of Immortal bones. ”These footprints, what are they?”

”They’re trouble,” replied Yu Chang with a faint smile. ”You are the first Yan Immortal to venture into the Great Desolate Wilderness apart from those Monks.”

”Those Monks? Why are they here in the Great Desolate Wilderness?” Jian Wushuang couldn’t believe it.

Yu Chang explained, ”They measure the earth with their own feet, and they also seek to convert all Yan Immortal, heading to their Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm for worship.”

”Most importantly, they consider this Great Desolate Wilderness a place of trial and have come here one after another.”

Jian Wushuang was taken aback. ”Their ideas are indeed unique. They see this place as a trial ground?”

Yan power cannot be retained here, and it is boundless and boundless. Even a Grand Yan Immortal might lose their way here. Comparing this Great Desolate Wilderness to a tomb would be more accurate.

”That’s right, even I didn’t expect them to be so determined,” Yu Chang said, looking at Jian Wushuang. ”Wushuang, what you need to do is stay here and strengthen the barriers of the Great Desolate Wilderness.”

”Stay here for 10,000 years?” Jian Wushuang sighed.

10,000 years is a period of seclusion for Yan Immortal and even Peak Cultivators, not a long time at all. But for Jian Wushuang, it’s different. His growth rate is too fast, and 10,000 years is enough time for him to accomplish many things.

Right now, he’s going to be exiled in the Great Desolate Wilderness for 10,000 years, which greatly limits any of his actions.

Yu Chang seemed to see the disappointment in his eyes and smiled. ”10,000 years is not that long, but it’s just a figure of speech. If the Emperor hadn’t said that back then, the Second Prince probably wouldn’t have given up so easily. After all, it was his Grand Mi Heaven that was destroyed.”

”In 1,000 years, I will come to the Great Desolate Wilderness to get you, but of course, that depends on your performance.”

Jian Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief secretly. 1,000years is not too distant for him, and he can consider it as an opportunity for training in the Great Desolate Wilderness.

”Alright, so what am I supposed to do here in the Great Desolate Wilderness next?”

”Of course, you’ll be building walls and reinforcing barriers.”

”Oh, so it really is bricklaying, huh?”

”Of course.”

As they continued their conversation, two figures moved forward at a leisurely pace until they reached a wall that seemed to split the very void in half. It wasn’t so much a wall as it was a true Immortal barrier!

It was as if the road of Immortal bones had been rolled up by some supreme power, towering high and almost completely separating the entire void into two halves.

Even the Grand Yan Immortal Immortal, standing beneath this Immortal barrier that felt like the pinnacle of divinity, would still feel insignificant.

”This is the true boundary of the Great Si Region, and it also marks the edge that separates it from the Great Desolate Wilderness,” said Yu Chang, looking at Jian Wushuang, who had become somewhat entranced. ”And what you must do now is to gradually repair this boundary barrier.”

”Repair, repair this place?” Jian Wushuang struggled to swallow, a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

”Yes,” Yu Chang nodded slightly. ”This boundary barrier was forged by the Emperor and me, capable of repelling all foes and enduring countless ages without damage.”

”However, on the other side of the Great Desolate Wilderness, the monks from the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm managed to damage this boundary barrier using some method, allowing them to enter the Great Si Region.”

”And what you must do, Wushuang, is to completely seal off this boundary barrier, blocking all enemies from entering the Great Desolate Wilderness.”

Jian Wushuang nodded. ”Alright, I will.”

At this moment, Yu Chang put away his smile and turned serious. ”Remember, Wushuang, this is a punishment. This is the most dangerous place in the entire Great Si Region. Even the Grand Yan Immortal Immortals can hardly be considered significant here.”

”As soon as you step into the Great Desolate Wilderness, you must be prepared for anything. You will not only face the weakness of your Immortal body but also the enemies hidden within the Great Desolate Wilderness.”

Jian Wushuang’s gaze slightly hardened. ”Enemies within the Great Desolate Wilderness? Are there other Yan Immortals in the Great Desolate Wilderness?”

Yu Chang nodded. ”To be precise, they can no longer be called Yan Immortals. They are more like lingering obsessions, wandering lost in the Great Desolate Wilderness.”

”After I leave, any Yan Immortals or Monks who emerge from the Great Desolate Wilderness will be your enemies. Your task is to thoroughly block all enemies from entering the boundary, sparing no one.”
