Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6488: Opportunity

“Brother Wushuang, aren’t you being a bit too cautious?” Xiang Yang casually sat in the chair and said leisurely, “No one here can threaten us. Why waste time? Whatever you want, I’ll snatch it for you. Like that Chen Qingling outside…”

After speaking, he shot Jian Wushuang a mischievous grin, his expression implying something Jian Wushuang surely understood.

Jiang Ni noticed this and blushed slightly. She hurriedly changed the topic, “Uncle Wushuang, aren’t you going with us to the Giant Serpent Secret Realm?”

She was worried that Jian Wushuang might end up trapped here.

As for Jiu Chen, he was indifferent. After all, he had already reached the level of a Demigod. Whether he ventured out or remained in seclusion, there was no way for him to break through. The opportunity required was far too great. It might even be necessary to journey to the Heavens to find such an opportunity, or for Jian Wushuang to produce some bizarre inheritance that he could benefit from freely.

… In the face of everyone’s questions, Jian Wushuang remained calm.

The path he needed to take was different from theirs. It wasn’t something that could be solved by adventuring or cultivating in seclusion. He needed to explore this world little by little, unlocking its secrets and gathering members of the God Eye Clan.

After all, the God Eye secret technique was of utmost importance.

He had a premonition: once the secret technique reached perfection, it might just be the key to leaving this world and the beginning of everything he would face.

“I won’t be leaving for now. I still have some matters to attend to here. You don’t need to worry about me. Go ahead to the Giant Serpent Secret Realm and gather useful information!”

Hearing this, the group didn’t argue any further. After leaving Black Prison behind, they disappeared from the room.

However, before they left, Jian Wushuang had given the three of them a task.

That task was to investigate the core area of the Giant Serpent Secret Realm and engrave the formations within.

This was crucial. Without understanding the formations, they wouldn’t be able to enter the core region.

Unless the formations themselves allowed them to enter.

Jiang Ni took this task seriously.

Jiu Chen and Xiang Yang were a bit confused, but considering that the Giant Serpent Secret Realm was a place that even the Nine Heavens and the Heavens above feared, it surely hid great secrets. Now that Jian Wushuang wanted to comprehend the formations, they believed it wouldn’t be long before they could enter the core of the secret realm and explore its vast depths.

Thinking of this, both of them were inwardly delighted. This was a grand opportunity.

As for whether Jian Wushuang could decipher the formations, in their eyes, there was nothing Jian Wushuang couldn’t accomplish.

Unfortunately!

After the others left, Jian Wushuang encountered a major problem.

The evolution of Gui Yun Vine had gone smoothly, but the treasures needed for its ultimate form far exceeded what had been prepared.

This was something even Jian Wushuang hadn’t anticipated, nor had Gui Yun Vine itself.

Although it had advanced to its ultimate form, it hadn’t broken through to the Universe God level. Yet the evolved Gui Yun Vine possessed power that could make even Universe Gods tremble.

Each of its thousand vines carried divine power equivalent to 99,999,999 units.

When combined, it appeared immense.

But in reality, it was just a thousand near-Universe Gods, as the power of each vine couldn’t stack.

However, the combat power of over a thousand near-Universe Gods combined made dealing with Universe Gods below the four-star level quite easy.

This brought Jian Wushuang some comfort. After all, he would soon be exploring the Giant Serpent Secret Realm, and without some top-tier combat strength, there was no guarantee of safety.

External power, in the end, was unpredictable.

After helping Gui Yun Vine complete its evolution, Jian Wushuang continued his research on the God Eye secret technique.

The seventh level was incredibly difficult.

“Endless… life…”

Jian Wushuang slowly opened his eyes.

Cultivating alone and trying to find that spark of inspiration was too challenging.

Earlier, even the insights left behind by Jiang Haichao had been immensely beneficial to him.

The other party’s cultivation experiences were crucial.

He had to obtain them.

It was time to have a chat with Chen Qingling.

“Master?” Black Prison stood up, looking at Jian Wushuang.

“I’m heading out for a bit. Follow me from the shadows.”

“As you wish!”

One light, one shadow.

After leaving the Chen residence, they headed for the Yuanling Sacred Sect within the city.

“Who goes there?”

A disciple guarding the sect stepped forward to inquire.

His strength wasn’t much, but his tone was rather arrogant.

As expected from the number one sect, which had suppressed the Ancient Imperial Dynasty for years.

Jian Wushuang gave a slight bow and said, “I’ve come to visit the Sacred Lady.”

After speaking, he handed over a token.

The disciple’s expression froze for a moment upon seeing the situation, but then his attitude softened.

He immediately led Jian Wushuang to the Sacred Mountain.

Halfway up the mountain.

“Let him come in alone!”

A cold voice echoed from inside the cave.

No need to ask, it was Chen Qingling herself.

She was a disciple of Jiang Haichao and also the Saintess, effectively the true ruler of the entire Sacred Sect.

Even the Sect Master of Yuanling Sacred Sect wasn’t as powerful as Chen Qingling, let alone possessing her level of talent.

Despite this, she still insisted that Jian Wushuang join the Yuanling Sacred Sect before offering up Jiang Haichao’s cultivation insights.

Jian Wushuang had no choice but to reluctantly join.

Once he entered the cave, there was no formality.

They directly arranged the initiation ceremony.

Making oaths like this was something Jian Wushuang had done countless times.

Unfortunately, none of these oaths ever bound him.

After making the vow, a faint smile appeared on Chen Qingling’s face.

“Chen Daoist, now that I’ve joined the sect, the cultivation insights…” Jian Wushuang looked at her, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Chen Qingling’s smile faded upon hearing his words, her tone turning serious. “Jian Wushuang, I won’t hide it from you. My master’s cultivation insights are kept in the Dao Enlightenment Pavilion at the top of the Sacred Mountain. If you wish to comprehend them, you must enter the pavilion. I imagine… this won’t be too difficult for you, will it?”

Her words implied that since he had already joined the Yuanling Sacred Sect, if he wanted to obtain the cultivation insights, he’d have to rely on his own abilities.

Jian Wushuang wasn’t particularly concerned, but when he used his thought power to investigate, he was left speechless.

The Dao Enlightenment Pavilion had three levels.

The first level corresponded to Dao Lords.

The second level corresponded to Dao Lords of the Imperial rank.

The third level corresponded to Universe Masters!

Jiang Haichao’s cultivation insights were located at the very top of the third level.

One would need to reach the level of a demigod to fully comprehend the complete set of insights.

The insights on the first and second levels naturally corresponded to Dao Lords and Dao Lords of the Imperial rank, which were of little use to Jian Wushuang.

At best, he could only glean a small fraction of the mysteries from them.

Jian Wushuang’s expression was grim, but inwardly he was laughing coldly at how much they underestimated him.

“Saintess, you’re absolutely right, everything relies on oneself!”

With that, he flicked his sleeve and left.

Since they were unwilling to hand the insights over directly, he would take matters into his own hands!

That Dao Enlightenment Pavilion couldn’t stop him.

Even though he was currently just a mortal.

But not an ordinary mortal—he had already mastered the sixth turn of the God Eye Technique.

Moreover, he had comprehended an even more perfected version of the God Eye’s true inheritance.

“Blackprison, you go in first. See if you can directly snatch those cultivation insights!”

Standing before the pavilion, Jian Wushuang didn’t enter right away.

Instead, he sent Blackprison to take them!

The simple-minded Blackprison, thinking Jian Wushuang was about to go in himself, hadn’t expected to be sent in instead.

Still, with his demigod-level strength, Blackprison feared nothing and was completely obedient to Jian Wushuang.

Hiding his presence, Blackprison took a step into the Dao Enlightenment Pavilion.

The disciples of Yuanling Sacred Sect who were coming and going didn’t notice Blackprison at all.

They only found Jian Wushuang’s unfamiliar face somewhat curious.

There were few disciples of the Sacred Sect.

Each one was a genius from different regions.

In total, there were only a little over a thousand disciples on the Sacred Mountain.

About a hundred of them were Dao Lords, half of whom were Ultimate Dao Lords, while the other half had mastered the second level of the God Eye Technique.
