Legend of Swordsman

Despite Lu Hua’s guidance, compared to the prodigies from the Universe Master families, they had already lost a lot at the starting stage.

Now, neither of their rankings had entered the top 10,000.

But there was one crucial point.

That was their speed of growth in battle was much faster.

Emerging from a small world, they quickly caught up with the steps of those prodigies.

In fact, in terms of combat talent, they even surpassed their counterparts.

This was what deserved attention.

It was just a pity that Wu Zuo and the others could not see these small details.

There was no clear standard for the trial time.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Tens of thousands of Yan Immortals were reduced by a hundredfold.

Now, only a few thousand remained.

Ji Tang and Shen Jian were still there.

They were still among the unnoticed few.

However, even the unnoticed ones, with only a few thousand left, had caught the attention of some Universe Masters.

“Ji Tang?”

Especially the head of the Ji family, who only then noticed that Ji Tang had the blood of the Ji family in him.

But compared to Ji Ye and Ji Hao, he was still lacking quite a bit.

However, being able to persist until now, he undoubtedly had talents beyond the ordinary.

Even if he could not enter the top thousand this time, he would take Ji Tang back to the family and train him diligently.

He just inquired around, and all the branches of the family didn’t know about this person.

“He is not from the branches or the main family. He should be a bloodline wandering outside!” The head of the Ji family sighed, “The bloodline wandering outside has such talent. Heaven has not been unkind to my Ji family!”

He immediately ordered the family to search for those wandering bloodlines.

There might be some with extraordinary talent. They should be brought back to the family as soon as possible.

It would be a pity outside.

The Ji family!

From the early period of the Primordial Universe, it had been a superpower.

The early hegemon of the Primordial Universe.

Until now, it remained a superpower.

Flourishing without decline.

It was because of the emergence of super experts stationed there.

From the first ancestor, the tier 4 Emperor, to the later Ji Chaoyang, who elevated the family’s foundation to a new height.

It was a pity that the latter fell, or the Ji family would be even stronger now.

Even now, with Ji Shuang, a peak Sixth Tribulation expert stationed, it ranked in the top ten families in the entire downstream spacetimes.

Moreover, the Ji family had intricate ties with Jian Wushuang and Hu Qing, the two Divine Lords.

They had people and influence.

Their foundation was strong.

Naturally, it remained unbroken through the ages.

Among the Ten Great Divine Masters,

Few families had such bonds, only Dongsheng and Wanyan had family ties.

The others, at most, cultivated some forces.

Jian Wushuang had no choice. The place where he was born had already disappeared.

He became a lonely old man.

This time, he took in a few disciples to leave his path behind.

As for the bloodline, he had long stopped thinking about it.

Perhaps he would meet the right person in the future…

Maybe he wouldn’t meet anyone.

On the side of the trialists, only the last few thousand remained.

Everyone on the observation platform had their suitable candidates.

Those who had only recently exploded would be very few; almost no one was hiding their strength anymore.

Now was the best opportunity to break into the 10,000.

“Zhen Ling, can you narrow down the trial area a bit? I’m almost falling asleep!” Wu Zuo

yawned.

They had been watching continuously for over a hundred years.

No matter how patient they were, they couldn’t withstand this kind of torture.

It was like adults watching children play house. At first, it seemed fresh and new, but eventually, they grew weary of it.

Having already chosen their candidates in their minds, they naturally wanted to end it

quickly.

Hearing this, Zhen Ling scratched his head. Narrowing the range was actually quite simple,

but unfortunately, he hadn’t prepared for it.

“Let me do it!” Jian Wushuang raised his hand and pointed.

A barrier descended.

And it began to shrink continuously.

It started contracting from the edge of the world.

Seeing this, Zhen Ling immediately conveyed a message to the tokens of those undergoing

the trial.

The barrier would continue to shrink until only the last thousand remained.

This was the final countdown.

Judging by the speed of the barrier’s contraction, it would take at most a month.

This left those trial participants hoping to take advantage of the situation in despair.

Facing great temptation, there were still those who chose shortcuts.

Many of the trial participants were not very powerful, yet they found a place to hide right

from the start.

They managed to sneak into the top ten thousand by hiding well.

Calling them despicable wasn’t quite fitting.

Being able to remain hidden without being discovered was also a skill.

But when it came to real combat strength, they were very weak.

Even those Universe Masters looked down on them, let alone Jian Wushuang and the others.

Trying to rely on trickery was not going to get them selected.

The trial participants understood this, but before entering the trial, their families had told

them that even if they didn’t get selected, making it into the top 1,000 would still mean being

taken as a disciple by a Universe Master.

So, they all wanted to try their luck.

But as the barrier continued to shrink, it shattered all their hopes.

Swoosh!

A trial participant, who had no choice but to reveal himself, was struck and had his body

shattered by a single sword as soon as he showed his head.

His primordial spirit admitted defeat to save his life.

He was then casually taken away by an Emperor.

However, only a few dozen tokens were left behind.

The trial participants who made the strike didn’t even bother to pick them up and left grandly.

Scenes like this were playing out all over the trial world.

The month passed quickly.

The barrier shrank to a range of 10,000 miles.

In this range, Yan Immortals’ Thought power could cover it all.

There was no place left to hide.

The number of people had also reduced by more than half.

Now, there were only over a thousand left.

It would only take half a day to reduce the number to a thousand.

This was also an opportunity for those trial participants who were ranked lower.

If they could defeat a trial participant ranked in the top 1,000, they could replace them.

Such an environment drove many trial participants into a frenzy.

Some trial participants, originally in the top 1,000, were besieged by two lagging participants

and ultimately defeated.

They refused to admit defeat even in death.

Falling was no longer possible. The Emperors had long received a transmission from Zhen

Ling.

Some trial participants, who were sure to lose, would be taken away preemptively.

No talent would be lost due to the trial.

Zhen Ling also announced that even if they didn’t make it into the top 1,000, they could still

enter Grave God Mountain and become Inheritors of Qishen Temple.

Becoming an inheritor of Qishen Temple was a dream for practitioners in the lower

downstream spacetime.

The current top Universe Masters were all Inheritors of Grave God Mountain.

From the first generation to the third generation disciples now, every era produced a large

number of super strong practitioners.

Once someone became an Inheritor, their family or their faction would rise with them.

Inheritors were also united.

Becoming an inheritor meant one foot was already in the high ranks of the lower downstream spacetime.

As long as one became a Universe Master, they could anchor their universe in the sea of the

universe.

It was an infinite honor.

In the lower downstream spacetimes, apart from the Universe Masters born among inheritors, there were also some who became Universe Masters through their own efforts.
