Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6347: Can’t Walk the Old Road

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Following the path he had walked before would be enough. First, he would start with transforming the universe from all things, then step into the realm of Dayan Immortal, mastering the ultimate swordsmanship, becoming the Ultimate Dao Monarch, and then merging with the Dao.

With the countless experiences of Jian Wushuang, it would take him only a few hundred years to reach the peak of the Emperor level.

By that time, he would have almost cultivated the power of life from All Things, and with that, he could push forward, evolve the universe of life, and with Sword Dao as his core, open up the universe and become a Universe Master.

Tribulations would be as easy as drinking water.

Breaking through all the way to the Ninth Tribulation would be no problem.

At that moment, it seemed that everything had become simple.

Jian Wushuang suddenly shook his head, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He had only channeled a wisp of life force into that spiritual sense, yet he had directly envisioned his own future.

And it seemed so effortless.

But this was not what he wanted.

Not to mention whether the path ahead would go smoothly, even if he reached the level of Universe Master, the tribulations that followed would not be that simple.

His tribulations were not ordinary cosmic Tribulations.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so powerful.

There was also his soul’s thought power, which had become so formidable only because he had devoured the Realm Beast Morosa.

Moreover, in the outside world, he had the augmentation of the Beast God Weapon, and the Wanjie Sword, which contained his Dao, had been nurtured for countless years, allowing him to unleash the sixth sword move.

His true body in the outside world had already reached the peak of Nine-Star Universe God.

He possessed countless fortunes.

Just the Eternal Ancient Transformation alone could trap countless people.

Eternal Ancient Transformation was something he had created based on the Ancient Transformation.

It required mastery of the Dao of Transformation, which he probably couldn’t grasp in this world.

Furthermore, entering this world might have been for the purpose of undergoing the Universe God Tribulation in the first place.

How could he still walk the old path?

But within this world, he didn’t even know if there was a suitable Dao for him.

Sword Dao as the core.

That was the foundation, but relying solely on swordsmanship would be too limited.

A mortal could wander the world with a sword, and a cultivator could resolve grudges with a single stroke.

But beyond that, transcending, becoming immortal, merging with the Dao, opening up a universe—these could not be achieved by swordsmanship alone.

Many auxiliary Daos were also needed.

“Will this world have them?”

“No!”

Jian Wushuang’s gaze instantly became resolute, and his state of mind returned to calm.

“The path I want to walk is unique, unrelated to the world I am in. Every Universe God is a being who breaks the supreme Law Rules, and should not be bound by the Daos under those supreme Law Rules!”

At that moment, he seemed to understand everything.

He also realized the significance of entering this world.

Walking his own path had nothing to do with the world he was in.

Simply put, it was like the life of an ordinary mortal family.

In the Crimson Eye Realm, the children of noble families grew up without worries, mastering various ways to make a fortune upon reaching adulthood. However, the children of poor families, when they became adults, might face a dark reality, feeling the unfairness of the world and realizing that not everyone is treated the same.

But even from humble origins, great individuals could emerge.

Chen Yuan was one such person. Although he didn’t achieve fame through examinations, he made the right choices at the right time and soared to new heights.

If it had been someone else, perhaps they wouldn’t have succeeded.

Was this due to the environment?

No!

It was because of his choices.

Now, Jian Wushuang had the right to make his own choices. He could choose to follow the old path, which might not lead him to the peak, but leaving this world wouldn’t be difficult.

But what would happen after he left this world?

Would he return to being the Jian Wushuang with the combat power of a Ninth Tribulation Universe God?

Was this the purpose of his coming to the Tomb of the Gods?

Leaving Huaiqing and the others behind, he came here to undergo the divine Tribulation, didn’t he?

Back when he left the Northern Starry Sky and arrived at the Realm God Continent, after facing numerous challenges, even Wu Zuo had undergone the divine Tribulation. How could he lag behind?

Moreover, his goal had never been to reach the peak of the Realm God Continent.

It was to step into the Starry Sky.

That was the destination.

But not the ultimate destination.

At this moment, his mind was as sharp as a sword.

He was not influenced in the slightest.

He also realized that the force that had just disturbed his thoughts likely came from that temple.

“A temple that can affect my state of mind? Interesting!”

He casually dispelled that spiritual force but did not rush into the temple.

For now, entering was not possible anyway. Although it appeared close, it was actually still far away.

As life force entered the wisp of spiritual consciousness, it quickly stimulated the other party’s spiritual power.

“Whoosh!”

The illusory spirit began to take shape, and a familiar face appeared before him.

“Immortal Jiu Chen!!!”

Jian Wushuang was startled, and the other party was also taken aback.

They stared at each other for a while before simultaneously asking:

“How do you know me?”

“What are you doing here?”

“You go first!” Their synchronization was impeccable.

But then they reached an impasse. However, Jian Wushuang wasn’t in a hurry, while the other party was growing impatient.

From his tone, it was clear that he had been dormant for who knew how many years. Now, seeing a half-living person who recognized his identity filled his heart with joy. He was eager to know what had happened outside.

This made Jian Wushuang realize that although this person looked exactly like Jiu Chen, his identity might not be the same.

There were more deductions and guesses, but those needed to be clarified by the other party.

“I’ve met someone exactly like you in the outside world, but he wasn’t a spirit; he had a physical body!” Jian Wushuang answered the question directly, without holding back.

The spiritual Jiu Chen’s excitement surged instantly, becoming somewhat frenzied as he muttered to himself, “He actually succeeded, he really succeeded!”

Although Jian Wushuang didn’t know exactly what the other party was referring to, he could make an educated guess.

“No wonder Jiu Chen had such a high level of cultivation, vast knowledge, and even the ability to initially control a treasure like the Nine Prison Pagoda. It turns out he wasn’t human after all!”

This was entirely literal.

If Jian Wushuang guessed correctly, Jiu Chen and this spirit were likely one and the same.

Perhaps he was a formation spirit or the spirit of a treasure.

This also explained why the other party was so powerful yet so seemingly ordinary.

So at this moment, Jian Wushuang concocted another lie.

“Are you the one my original self sent here?” Jiu Chen’s spirit asked in surprise, “Could it be that he rebuilt the Heavenly Fire Realm?”

This question made Jian Wushuang sweat a bit because it wasn’t within his calculations.

“The Ancient Realm isn’t that easy to rebuild. Outside, Immortal Jiu Chen established the Crimson Eye Realm!” He continued to bluff, “I inherited Immortal Jiu Chen’s legacy and came here, never expecting you to be Immortal Jiu Chen’s incarnation!”

Upon hearing that he was an incarnation, Jiu Chen’s spirit roared angrily, “What do you know? I am the original! That guy is just a fragment of my consciousness that split off! I can’t believe he gambled right and became an immortal!”

His eyes widened in rage.

Jian Wushuang didn’t expect the other party to be so easily deceived. Fortunately, he had respectfully called him Immortal Jiu Chen, which allowed the other party to realize that Jian Wushuang belonged to Jiu Chen’s side.
