Legend of Swordsman

Especially when they saw the vast Starry Sky, they were momentarily stunned.

When they came to their senses, they realized that the powerful force was all around them, ready to be absorbed at will.

Wan Shan, as the foremost prodigy among the Yan Immortals of the Wan family, was well-informed and exclaimed excitedly, “Master, could this be your Origin Source Universe?”

“Indeed!” Jian Wushuang nodded slightly and said, “In the time to come, you will practice here for a while. When you reach the level of Yan Immortal, I will take you out once. The subsequent plans will be discussed later. First, I will teach each of you a technique. Come see me again after you have mastered it completely!”

Jian Wushuang’s method of teaching his disciples was very straightforward.

Progressive and step-by-step.

He would never overwhelm them with too much at once.

Everything required time to refine.

“By the way, I found a sparring partner for you!” He turned and shouted toward the arranged cave residence, “Babata!”

Swish!

Babata, clad in dark red battle armor, flew out from the cave residence. With a small stature and curved horns on its forehead, it stood obediently before him and said, “Master!”

“Its name is Babata. It is not a life form but should not be treated disrespectfully. Besides sparring with you, it will help guide you in areas you don’t understand. Do you remember?”

Wan Shan, shocked to see the intelligent Babata, recalled hearing about puppets in Qishen Temple that had exquisite hearts but could not practice.

He never expected his master to have a puppet capable of cultivating.

He was deeply astonished!

Ji Tang and Shen Jian did not understand this; to them, Jian Wushuang was omnipotent.

“We remember!” The three replied respectfully.

Jian Wushuang nodded and said, “Babata, first familiarize them with the surroundings. After that, they can begin their self-cultivation!”

“Yes!”

After giving his instructions, Jian Wushuang’s figure flickered and disappeared from Tianqing Mountain.

He left Babata with the three disciples.

“Let’s go!” Babata smiled. Since the destruction of the pyramid, it had been alone on Tianqing Mountain and was extremely bored. Now, with company, it was in high spirits.

The journey was filled with chatter and laughter as Babata introduced the special features of Tianqing Mountain to the three.

Jian Wushuang took one last deep look at the Starry Sky, then closed his eyes.

Leaving his teachings was merely a backup plan.

He also had his path to follow.

In this era, he would still guide them somewhat, but once this era ended, he would let them fend for themselves.

After the Dao Lord, he would point the way, but the rest would be up to them.

No one would always shield them from the storms.

Time flowed silently.

Ten years later.

Wan Shan was the first to completely master the technique he had been taught.

This was in line with Jian Wushuang’s expectations.

After all, it had only been ten years. No matter how talented Shen Jian and Ji Tang were, it was impossible for them to surpass Wan Shan.

“Wan Shan!” Jian Wushuang personally descended and had Wan Shan demonstrate the technique fully.

He was very satisfied.

To completely grasp the technique in ten years, Wan Shan truly deserved to be the top in the trials.

Inheriting his divine power method was indeed a perfect fit.

“Master, although I have completely mastered the technique you taught, there are some aspects I do not fully understand!” Wan Shan honestly voiced his confusion.

Jian Wushuang appreciated this and nodded, “If you understood it all, that would be extraordinary.”

The technique he taught Wan Shan followed his own divine power route.

Without an explanation, the other party would never comprehend it in a lifetime, only mastering a useless technique.

Even an Eighth Tribulation Universe Master could not see through his divine power route.

Let alone a young Yan Immortal.

“This is my divine power route. You might not fully understand divine power yet because your physical body is incomplete, and your divine body is lacking, so you cannot grasp divine power!”

“Divine power?” Wan Shan’s eyes flashed.

He had heard the elders of his family mention it.

Only after the divine body reached 10,000-fold could one grasp divine power.

But his current divine body was only at a thousand times.

A Yan Immortal with 1,000-fold divine body was already quite impressive.

When Jian Wushuang was a Yan Immortal, he did not even have 1,000-fold divine body.

“Yes, divine power!” Jian Wushuang raised his palm, exerting slight force, causing a trace of golden arc to appear. He then said, “Keep this arc safe; it is what you will use in your next stage. Now, I will refine your physical body for you!”

Whoosh!

A majestic mountain appeared in the starry sky. With a flick of his finger, the mountain ignited in flames.

The set of techniques used to refine the body on Demon Flame Mountain back then had already been relocated.

A strong body was only useful to an Emperor.

Upon reaching the Tribulation stage, the body became Immortal.

Therefore, it didn’t need to be exceptionally strong, but it couldn’t be weak either.

The Nine Refinements were essential.

The Tenth Refinement were out of the question for Wan Shan at that moment.

Back then, he barely survived the Tenth Refinement after reaching the level of Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal.

“Go now. After refining your body, absorb that trace of golden arc. I give you a thousand years. After that, come see me again!”

Wanshan did not hesitate and nodded, saying, “Yes!”

After speaking, he directly entered the burning Fire God Mountain.

The Dao should not be easily imparted.

As a member of the Wan family, how could Wanshan not understand this?

He also understood his master’s intentions.

First, establish a solid foundation before training to inherit the teachings.

One step at a time.

Without haste or impatience.

This suited Wan Shan’s character well.

It was for this reason that Shang fought for Wan Shan.

He was a pure cultivator, a rare find.

Jian Wushuang grew more fond of him the more he observed.

After arranging the subsequent plan for Wanshan, he closed his eyes again to cultivate.

A hundred years later, Shen Jian also mastered the technique.

However, the technique he mastered was different from Wan Shan’s.

Wan Shan followed the path of divine power.

Shen Jian, on the other hand, pursued the ultimate swordsmanship.

The foundation of Sword Dao was the mastery of the Dao.

In the ensuing time, Jian Wushuang personally guided Wan Shan in swordsmanship.

Likewise, he did not directly impart any divine skills to him.

Ji Tang was the last to master the technique.

By the time Wan Shan had successfully refined his body, Ji Tang had just mastered the technique.

It wasn’t due to a lack of comprehension.

It was a matter of talent.

Among the three disciples, Wan Shan was the best in divine power.

Shen Jian excelled in swordsmanship.

Ji Tang’s outstanding points were not obvious.

But one should not underestimate such a cultivator.

He might be a late bloomer.

Having too prominent outstanding points wasn’t necessarily good.

In the following days, Jian Wushuang guided Ji Tang and Shen Jian in their Sword Dao realms.

As for Wan Shan, he was absorbing that trace of golden arc.

It seemed like he was letting Wan Shan fend for himself.

But actually, the path he faced was the best one.

It completely relied on himself.

Once the golden arc was absorbed, the divine body could grow a thousandfold.

The remaining time would be spent breaking through his own realm, reaching the Nine Revolution Yan Immortal as quickly as possible.

By then, Jian Wushuang would set some tests for Wan Shan.

The reward would be divine power treasures.

Once his divine power reached 10,000-fold and he mastered it,

he would almost be ready to accept Jian Wushuang’s inheritance.

However, even the inheritance would start from the most basic level.
