Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 3604: The Final Secret (Part Two)

“Sh*t luck?” Jian Wushuang’s expression changed.

“It’s just sh*t luck. It’s really great luck!”

“After all, the universe law knows that the embryonic stage is the most fragile during the process of nurturing the astral world, so it’s also the most well-protected. Ordinary cultivators, even if they spend a long time wandering in the universe, wouldn’t be able to encounter such an astral world embryo.”

“According to the rumors, there are some incredibly powerful autarch-level Rulers who would go to great lengths to find an astral world embryo like this in order to increase their power. Autarch-level experts are far more skilled than Rulers, but even so, they are often unable to find an astral world embryo like this even after hundreds or thousands of chaos cycles.”

“In the vast universe, if an astral world embryo is found anywhere, countless experts will immediately come to fight for it. This fight is no less than a feast for experts. You can imagine how lucky you are to find such an astral world embryo,” said Daoist Xuan Shen.

Hearing Daoist Xuan Shen’s words, Jian Wushuang could not help but be shocked.

If what Daoist Xuan Shen said was true, even an expert at the supreme level could not find an embryo of an astral world even after searching for hundreds or thousands of chaos cycles in the universe void, then the Ruler who was forced to come out of the demonic cloud planet…it was indeed a stroke of good luck to find the Divine Beginning Realm, which was in the embryonic stage, in this territory.

“Not only is this Ruler from Devil Cloud Star extremely lucky, but he is also very bold. After all, even in the embryonic stage of the astral world, it is extremely difficult for ordinary experts to possess it at its most vulnerable period.”

“Under normal circumstances, only Rulers have the possibility of possessing the astral world. Moreover, the success rate of possession is also very low. It is already considered good if one out of dozens of Rulers succeeds in possession. However, once the possession fails, they will immediately suffer a backlash. Their souls will be destroyed and they will die. Therefore, if a Ruler forcefully tries to possess the embryonic stage of the astral world, he will still have a slim chance of survival. In fact, it might even be better than that!”

“As for the Ruler who left Devil Cloud Star, he wandered in the universe void because he had no other choice. Now that he finally encountered an embryonic astral world, he tried to possess it even though he knew there was a slim chance of survival. In the end, he really succeeded!” Daoist Xuan Shen said, he could not help clenching his hands.

Jian Wushuang was also secretly amazed. He had a little more respect for the Ruler who had run away from Devil Cloud Star.

Under the premise that he was wise enough to risk his life, he took the risk to possess the Ruler. In the end, he succeeded. Although the Ruler was his enemy, his luck, boldness, and decisiveness were still worthy of respect.

“After he took over the Divine Beginning Realm, his strength soared and reached a new level in a very short time. Then he left a trace of his consciousness in the Divine Beginning Realm, and his original body returned to the Devil Cloud Star.

“After returning to the Devil Cloud Star, he immediately defeated many of his former enemies with absolute strength. He even swept across the entire Devil Cloud Star world and made the entire Devil Cloud Star submit to him. He also became the Devil Cloud Star Master!” Daoist Xuan Shen said.

Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang smacked his lips.

This was because at the beginning, this person was just a Ruler who could not survive in the Devil Cloud Star and was forced to leave. He was a wanderer in the universe void. Such a Ruler’s strength was definitely not that strong, however, because he possessed the Divine Beginning Realm, his strength had suddenly grown to the point of sweeping across the entire Devil Cloud Star.

...
It was clear how much help a cultivator would receive if he took over an astral world.

“What happened after that? Since the Star Master had already taken over the Divine Beginning Realm and obtained what he wanted, why did he attack the Seven Star Mysterious Sect?” Jian Wushuang asked.

“He didn’t want to attack the Seven Star Mysterious Sect in the beginning. After all, although he took over the Divine Beginning Realm, what he needed was the process of the Divine Beginning Realm’s evolution. During this process, he could communicate with the laws of the universe and improve his strength by observing the complete evolution of an astral world. As for the internal affairs of the Divine Beginning Realm, it has nothing to do with him. Logically speaking, he should be able to maintain the operation of the Divine Beginning Realm like the normal will of the Heavenly Dao.”

“As for the many cultivators in the Divine Beginning Realm, it doesn’t matter whether he is an outsider or not. As long as the will of the Heavenly Dao works normally, the cultivators in the Divine Beginning Realm can accept him even if he created the three Saint Realms to be his spokesperson. However, the Devil Cloud Star Master is too ambitious.” Daoist Xuan Shen said in a low voice.

“Ambitious?” Jian Wushuang was confused.

“He is ambitious. To be exact, he is too impatient. Of course, it is also possible that he is at the most critical stage of cultivation. For example, he is only one step away from becoming a supreme-being…” He paused, Daoist Xuan Shen continued. “He longed to break through to become a supreme-being as soon as possible. For this reason, he spared no effort. Therefore, he forcefully accelerated the evolution of the Heavenly Dao in the Divine Beginning Realm.”

“Speed up the evolution of the Heavenly Dao by force? How?” Jian Wushuang was surprised.

“It’s simple. He didn’t hesitate to squeeze the potential of the Divine Beginning Realm and did everything he could to make the Divine Beginning Realm collapse. Naturally, he could experience the evolution of the astral world earlier so that he could gain more earlier. However, the damage to the Divine Beginning Realm would be too great,” Daoist Xuan Shen said.

Jian Wushuang’s expression turned solemn.

Although he did not know what the consequences would be for the Divine Beginning Realm, it was not a good thing for the Divine Beginning Realm to accelerate the evolution of the Divine Beginning Realm and squeeze its potential.

“To speed up the evolution of the Divine Beginning Realm and squeeze it, it is to push the seedling to grow, and it is the most extreme way to push the seedling to grow. It is like a person who has a lifespan of 100 years forcibly increasing his growth speed and squeezing his potential. In the end, although he has lived his whole life, he may only live for 50 years, or even 30 years, or 20 years…”

Jian Wushuang was shocked.

A person who could live for 100 years could only live for 20 to 30 years after forcefully accelerating his growth rate?

“In other words, if Devil Cloud Star Master does this, his lifespan in the Divine Beginning Realm will be extremely short, and he won’t be able to live for one chaos cycle at all?” Jian Wushuang asked in surprise.
