Legend of Swordsman

In the end, it was he who helped the other person up.

They walked out of the small hut.

Only then did they notice that a group of twenty to thirty porters had lined up, waiting to receive food in a small shed.

The so-called food was actually a joke.

A bowl of vegetable porridge with straw mixed in, and a black bun.

Having experienced it yesterday, neither of them held back, gobbling it down in a frenzy.

Tiger Three, seeing this, smiled slightly, thinking that the two were quite adaptable and quick to blend in.

All the arrogance from the previous day was gone.

Their newfound humility amused him.

The work of these porters in the morning was to carry sacks from the merchant ships docked at the pier.

Each sack weighed at least a hundred pounds.

Despite Jian Wushuang’s endurance, after several trips, he found it unbearable.

He even regretted not escaping the previous night.

Xiang Yang was in an even worse state; after only two trips, he was completely exhausted and now hid in the ship, refusing to come out no matter what.

It didn’t take long for the overseer to notice.

This person was not as easygoing as Tiger Three. He entered the ship, dragged Xiang Yang out, and gave him a whipping.

None of the other porters who were coming and going stepped forward to help, nor did they even spare a glance.

Jian Wushuang was no exception, observing coldly.

However, his eyes occasionally swept around the surroundings.

In truth, he rather enjoyed watching Xiang Yang get beaten, hoping it might draw out Xing Luo.

After all, the two of them did have some history together.

The Xiang brothers had found her on the streets.

He couldn’t be so heartless as to let him die, could he?

Just as Jian Wushuang was searching for Xing Luo’s figure, a reprimanding voice stopped the overseer.

It was a clear voice, sounding quite pleasant amidst the noisy dock.

A young woman in green appeared at the foot of the stairs, walking towards the deck below with a frown. She complained, “Why are you hitting him?”

“Miss Liu, this guy was slacking off in the cabin instead of carrying goods. If I hadn’t found him, he would have slept till dark!” the overseer said, kicking Xiang Yang again.

Lying on the ground, Xiang Yang felt dizzy, and when he turned over, his eyes were muddled.

Miss Liu, who had a kind heart, was the adopted daughter of Liu Ye, the dock’s boss. She had also suffered through hardships growing up and couldn’t stand to see poor people being bullied.

She immediately had Xiang Yang carried into her own room, asked someone to fetch medicine, and personally tended to his wounds.

This beating wasn’t in vain after all.

For the next few days, Xiang Yang didn’t have to carry sacks anymore.

However, Jian Wushuang had completely lost hope.

Xing Luo didn’t appear.

Xiang Yang sat dazed on the doorstep all day, as if he had gone mad.

With only Jian Wushuang left, it became even harder to endure.

One night!

The wounds on Xiang Yang’s body had healed, but he still went to find Liu Susu every day to avoid the work of a porter.

He only returned to the shack at night.

Jian Wushuang was completely speechless and ignored him.

He planned to escape in the next few days.

After several days of research, he discovered that after the merchant ships finished loading, they would stay at the dock for a day and leave early the next morning.

He could easily sneak onto those merchant ships leaving the dock the next morning.

It didn’t matter where the destination was.

He couldn’t stay here any longer.

Even if he starved to death outside, he couldn’t stay here doing pointless work.

Sooner or later, the environment here would erode his will.

When Xing Luo entered this world, she still retained a certain power, which meant that this world was cultivatable.

It wasn’t a completely mundane world.

As long as he could cultivate, he could return to his peak.

With his talent and perseverance from the outside world, he would leave this wretched place sooner or later.

But before he could execute his plan, Xiang Yang, unusually, returned to the shack early that night.

Seeing Jian Wushuang lying on the wooden bed, looking at the moonlight through the window, Xiang Yang first sighed, then said emotionally, “Jian Wushuang, did you ever think there would be such a day?”

This sentence seemed to open the floodgates for their conversation.

After all, Jian Wushuang was determined to escape tomorrow, so he spoke freely.

They talked about past experiences.

It wasn’t as if he had never experienced the mundane world.

He had been to countless magical worlds.

In the Consciousness Realm, he had even seen the ultimate mysteries of the Starry Sky.

His vast knowledge was far beyond what Xiang Yang could compare.

He said a lot, making Xiang Yang’s eyes more resolute.

“I figured out long ago that you’re not an ordinary person. When you hid in my Xiang family, you must have had an agenda. But there’s one thing I don’t understand. Why choose the Xiang family? If I’m not mistaken, your true strength should be that of a four-star Universe God, or even stronger!”

Xiang Yang’s guess wasn’t wrong; he had deduced it from the Zhu family.

Jian Wushuang was able to kill many strong Zhu family members, definitely possessing the combat power of a four-star Universe God.

But why would such a powerful super expert hide in the Xiang family and be brotherly with him for so many years?

Jian Wushuang was silent for a while and then said calmly, “For the Divine Tribulation, do you believe it?”

“Tsk, this is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard!” Xiang Yang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Jian Wushuang himself laughed out loud too.

It was indeed ridiculous.

With his ability to shatter spacetime at will, no one would believe he wasn’t a Universe God.

But he really wasn’t a Universe God. If he were, he wouldn’t have come to such a remote place in the Wild Ancient Domain.

But then again, if he became a Universe God, or a Spacetime God, or an unprecedented deity.

Perhaps he should go to the Starry Sky.

“Sigh!”

Jian Wushuang sighed deeply in his heart.

In the Northern Spacetime, he thought he was omnipotent, seeing the future of time and everything in the past.

Yet he couldn’t find his own timeline.

He wanted to see his past self or his future self.

The future!

Speaking of which, this was the path pointed out by Master Xuan Yi.

But how long would he have to wait for the ultimate?

The future is very long.

It could be infinite.

At this moment, he didn’t know how far he was from that time.

But Jian Wushuang could feel that after entering this great world, he felt closer.

A great world hidden in the Wild Ancient Domain.

Hiding from an eight-star Universe God was easy.

Even a nine-star Universe God couldn’t discover it, which was normal.

The only thing beyond his comprehension was that this world shielded his consciousness.

It isolated his true self.

Moreover, his true self was sealed, so he could only watch.

His true self even lost consciousness.

If he were trapped here and couldn’t get out, it would be equivalent to falling.

That was the most terrifying thing.

And since this great world had such special rules, it must be the work of a super existence.

The Realm King couldn’t do this.

It was either the Great Realm King or some super existence in the Starry Sky.

Plus, the aura on Xing Luo.

He quickly thought of Zamasu.

Could it be Zamasu’s doing?

But then he thought again and found it unnecessary.

Why create this world?

At least he couldn’t see its purpose now.

He still needed to explore slowly.

And exploration required strength. If he were just a mortal, with a short lifespan of a hundred years, he wouldn’t be able to traverse this world.

After entering this world, he felt his physical body aging.

His chin had grown stubble, a sign of life passing.
