Legend of Swordsman

Jian Wushuang entered the Starry Sky.

”How many people must have died?” Jian Wushuang took a deep breath. Even he couldn’t begin to imagine.

One space-time dimension contained countless universes. A single continent was equivalent to countless space-times. But in an instant, everything was shattered.

One could only imagine the immense responsibility Ghost Eye Senior Brother had shouldered.

”Back then, he was just like you-full of ambition. He once encountered great fortune and never regarded the Realm God Continent as important, nor did he see the Starry Sky as the end. In the end, he made a terrible mistake, and the Divine Eye Clan was dragged down with him. But... they are all my children...”

At this point, the voice of the enormous Star Spirit trembled slightly.

Jian Wushuang was astonished and asked, ”Your children?”

”I forgot to introduce myself. I come from the Starry Sky. I am the master of the Giant God Peak, one of the twelve star districts. The Divine Eye Clan is a race I created. Your Ghost Eye Senior Brother and every member of the Divine Eye Clan are my children!”

After hearing the introduction, Jian Wushuang first thought the other was being too polite. But then his eyes suddenly narrowed as he recalled what Weiss had once told him.

The Giant God!

The ancestor of the Giant God Clan was also a Star Spirit.

Giant God Peak was the ancestral land of the Giant God Clan.

And this enormous eye before him belonged to none other than that legendary Giant God Star Spirit?

Jian Wushuang was dumbfounded. This was the ancestor of the first clan of the Starry Sky- the Giant God Star Spirit!

Even the Divine Eye Clan was a creation of this being. The weight of this revelation hit him hard.

”You... you’re actually the Giant God Star Spirit? Forgive my lack of discernment, I failed to recognize your esteemed presence!” Jian Wushuang’s tone became even more respectful. After all, he had grown up hearing stories about the Giant God Clan.

He had always been curious about what kind of figure the ancestor of the Giant God Clan was, and now he had seen it firsthand.

Humble, reserved, gentle, and approachable.

Not like Weiss, who loved to act all superior!

Though to be fair, Weiss was a master in his own right.

”Haha, no need to be so formal. In fact, I’ve seen you before. Back then, you even looked after my Giant God Clan members. This time, I hope you can take care of my Divine Eye Clan children as well!” There was a pleading glint in the Giant God Star Spirit’s eye.

Jian Wushuang, understanding the implications, felt uneasy.

His true form had only reached the peak of Universe God, and even as a Space-Time God, what could he do?

Yet here was a Star Spirit, asking for his help?

He hurriedly replied, ”Star Spirit Lord, just tell me directly. Whether you want me to release the Divine Eye Clan members trapped in the Nine Prison Pagoda or the ones imprisoned in this world, I will not hesitate!”

In his view, if a Star Spirit was being so polite to him-especially one who was the ancestor of his Ghost Eye Senior Brother-he had to show respect.

Besides, he and Ghost Eye Senior Brother were fellow disciples under Master Xuan Yi, so naturally, they had to look out for one another.

Even if the Giant God Star Spirit hadn’t asked, he wouldn’t have harmed the Divine Eye Clan experts within the Pagoda. If it wasn’t too unreasonable, he had already planned to release them.

”If your Ghost Eye Senior Brother hadn’t softened, then indeed, all the Divine Eye Clan members should have been sealed inside the Nine Prison Pagoda. But alas, he was too soft- hearted. There isn’t a single Divine Eye Clan member in any of the nine levels of the Pagoda!” The Giant God Star Spirit’s voice carried regret.

It seemed as if he was both lamenting and blaming Ghost Eye for not following his advice-to suppress the Divine Eye Clan members in the Nine Prison Pagoda. At least then, they would have survived!

For a moment, Jian Wushuang couldn’t comprehend and asked in surprise, ”Ghost Eye Senior Brother softened? Then where did the Divine Eye Clan go?”

A thousand thoughts raced through his mind. Could it be that Ghost Eye Senior Brother led the Divine Eye Clan in a rebellion?

Did they all escape the Starry Sky?

It was possible. Ghost Eye Senior Brother was strong enough in the chaotic region to protect his clan.

Moreover, the Divine Eye secret technique was perfectly suited for the chaotic region, allowing them to burn energy freely, as no one cared. Besides, the power in the chaotic region was infinite.

He had initially thought the downfall of the Divine Eye Clan was tied to the Nine Prison Pagoda, but now it seemed he had misunderstood.

However, the Giant God Star Spirit’s next words shattered all his assumptions.

”Dead!”

”I personally destroyed the Divine Eye Clan!”

The voice of the Great Divine Spirit trembled. He had destroyed his own children with his own

hands.

He had slaughtered all the cultivators of the Divine Eye Clan.

Ghost Eye had severed all ties with him after that and left the Starry Sky.

When Jian Wushuang heard this explanation, he was utterly stunned.

He found it hard to believe and didn’t want to accept it.

The large eyeball in front of him, who always looked like a kind old man, had committed such

a ruthless act?

Jian Wushuang took a deep breath, realizing he didn’t dare speak at this moment.

He was afraid the Great Divine Spirit might destroy him as well.

As the Great Divine Spirit recalled the event, his tone turned sorrowful. ”But the Divine Eye Clan has revived in this world, relying on the Myriad Willow Divine Tree. They will soon make a comeback. This time, I hope you can give them a chance, let them enter the Nine Prison Pagoda, rather than killing them all!”

”What?”

Jian Wushuang wasn’t shocked about the revival of the Divine Eye Clan but rather about the

Myriad Willow Divine Tree.

Hadn’t it been taken away by Weiss?

How had it appeared in this world again?

Seeing his confusion, the Great Divine Spirit patiently explained, ”Young one, don’t you understand yet? You were chosen as a powerful warrior. The path ahead of you has long been laid out. On this path, you have Weiss helping you, your senior brother Ghost Eye, and even that mysterious Prophet. They are all aiding you!”

Jian Wushuang wasn’t foolish and quickly pieced everything together.

”Lord Spirit, was it you who slew that Realm Beast back then?” Jian Wushuang asked,

pointing at his own body.

The Great Divine Spirit blinked his enormous eyes, silently confirming it.

Everything was just as the Great Divine Spirit had said.

His entry into this world had been arranged by the Prophet.

This world had been part of a plan devised by his senior brother Ghost Eye and Weiss.

The Myriad Willow Divine Tree had been thrown into this world, reviving the Divine Eye Clan. Ghost Eye had granted him the Realm Beast’s body and the Nine Prison Pagoda.

The implication was clear: even without the Great Divine Spirit, his task would still have been

to suppress all the experts of the Divine Eye Clan.

And all of this had been premeditated by Ghost Eye and Weiss long ago.

The Prophet had merely been responsible for bringing him in.

The road was indeed paved for him, but if he hadn’t claimed the Realm Beast’s body back

then, would he have ever had the chance to meet Master Xuan Yi again?

”Lord Spirit, I’m curious. Why was I chosen to suppress the revived Divine Eye Clan? If they

were to be suppressed, why let them revive in the first place?”

This was his final question.

At the same time, a vague answer had already formed in his heart.

Just after he had mastered the first level of the Nine Prison Pagoda, the Great Divine Spirit had

arrived, likely to clear his doubts.

”It’s simple. The revival of the Divine Eye Clan was to allow you to quickly master the complete Divine Eye secret technique. And the Ninth Turn Divine Eye Secret Technique, since your senior brother created it, no one has been able to successfully cultivate it. Even with your remarkable talent, it would be difficult to do so on your own.”

”Even if you had the potential, your mysterious master wouldn’t have the time to wait. He teaches his disciples with one goal: speed. He provides the best opportunities and the best treasures. I’ve seen it countless times before and am very familiar with his teaching methods. However, he hasn’t appeared in the Starry Sky for a long time, so your senior brother was sent to assist you. As for Weiss, he was likely following the orders of the Divine King to help you!” the Great Divine Spirit mused.
