Legend of Swordsman

Thousands of clones dispersed, each flying in different directions.

The speed of the clones was incredible, covering tens of thousands of miles with every breath.

Meanwhile, his Thought power could cover a distance of approximately a hundred million miles.

The various clones flew for an entire day, and their connected Thought power spanned an area comparable to a great world, yet they still hadn’t reached the boundary.

“Fortunately, I found that puppet!” Jian Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief. Thousands of clones continued to spread out in search of the boundary, while the clone that retrieved the puppet remained in place, preparing to divide the soul force.

At this moment, that puppet had already been reduced to fragments.

Though Nine Prison Pagoda was in the hands of the Immortal Jiu Chen, and only a minor secret technique from the first level was employed, it was still enough to easily destroy a puppet crafted from spatial crystals.

Fortunately, the spatial crystals had turned into powdery fluid, which could still be reformed into a humanoid shape, and the spatial power within remained intact.

This was sufficient for Jian Wushuang’s needs.

Moreover, he even considered refining the spatial crystals anew, using the methods of the Immortal Jiu Chen to craft a body that embodied the laws of space.

The puppet crafted by the Immortal Jiu Chen only utilized the hardness of the spatial crystals, failing to tap into their full potential. However, for a practitioner at the Divine Aspect Realm, this was already pushing the limits.

But for Jian Wushuang, this was far from enough.

In his eyes, the hardness of spatial crystals wasn’t their most significant strength.

The space of a world was, in fact, not the most stable, often less so than time.

When Jian Wushuang had first become a Universe Master, he could tear through the void within an endless world. Later, when he reached the Realm God Continent, he, as a Universe God, was able to tear through space-time, even shattering it.

The seemingly formidable space of the Realm God Continent was like thin paper in the eyes of the powerful.

However, the upper limit of strength nurtured by the Realm God Continent was that of a Ninth Tribulation Universe God or even a God of Time and Space.

Yet, its spatial laws could only support Universe Masters below the level of Universe Gods.

A slightly stronger Universe God could tear through space, but some Universe Gods couldn’t alter the flow of time. Only the most powerful Universe Gods could achieve this.

Thus, space, within a world, was relatively easy to break through.

This is why most lower realm experts ascended by shattering the void.

For ordinary mortals who couldn’t ascend, breaking the void was already a great feat. But for a super-powerful being like Jian Wushuang, it was child’s play.

Shattering the void was purely a matter of strength.

To obtain even greater power, one had to rely on laws and the blessings of the world’s Dao.

It was like how the Emperor had refined a great world and became its controller, using the power of that world to rise as a supreme expert among Emperors.

Beyond that, one could control an entire universe.

Or create a universe and become a Universe Master. While this seemed to transcend the laws, it was still dependent on the power of laws.

The same applied to Universe Gods, who internalized the laws of the universe and could even resist the suppression of supreme rules.

But where did the power they wield come from?

Time?

Starry Sky?

This question was beyond what Jian Wushuang could fully comprehend at the moment, but based on his knowledge and deductions, he could infer that this power likely originated from the being who first created the Starry Sky. ŖåΝꝊＢΕŚ

The power of the Twelve Star Spirits was just a part of the Starry Sky. The Starry Sky couldn’t bear such immense power, so it dispersed it among the cultivators.

That was why so many powerful beings, governed by the highest rules, emerged, but in essence, they couldn’t escape the laws of the Starry Sky.

And the laws of the Starry Sky were created by that Starry Sky Creator.

Or rather… the Realm Beast.

Swish!

While guiding the space crystal, Jian Wushuang pondered over the path ahead.

Restoring his strength was just a minor detour, perhaps costing him tens of thousands of years at most. The road ahead was still the Divine Tribulation.

That was what mattered most to him.

After crossing the Divine Tribulation, whether he became a Universe God or a Time and Space God, he would be invincible on the Realm God Continent.

Whether to head to the Starry Sky or remain here would be a decision he could make on a whim.

He could stay to search for the whereabouts of the Prophet, who had once forged a Beast God’s weapon for him and then disappeared, as if they had never existed on the Realm God Continent.

The Prophet’s mystery reminded him of his teacher, Xuan Yi.

And this world he currently resided in—he had once dreamed of the Prophet’s silhouette.

That dream of the Prophet’s silhouette had occurred without any warning.

He had been groping for clues, hoping to see the Prophet again.

But he had never succeeded; he still needed to explore step by step.

“Prophet? Teacher Xuan Yi?” Jian Wushuang gently shook his head. “What exactly are you plotting? Back then, you guided me from a small world, gave me treasures and secret techniques, helped me step by step to leave the small world, to reach the Primordial Universe of the Great Yan Domain, encounter the Qishen Temple, venture into the Nine Great Time Spaces, and eventually arrive at the Realm God Continent. What is your plan behind all of this?”

Even today, he still couldn’t fully comprehend it.

In fact, he had almost given up back then, but then he encountered that Sword Immortal, Ding Baiyi, who drew him into the Great Yan Domain, and afterward, it was one step at a time of guidance.

Just like today, it was still a form of guidance.

“I already possess the combat strength of a Ninth Star Universe God. Can I still not meet Teacher Xuan Yi? Can I still not help him?” Jian Wushuang slowly closed his eyes.

Although he didn’t know how far away the so-called future was, he knew that time was already close.

Sitting cross-legged, a strand of his soul power merged with the space crystal.

The first attempt, failed!

Because his soul was too powerful, and those space crystals were merely the space crystals of this small world, their capacity too weak.

They could, at most, bear a soul power one level above the Divine Appearance Realm.

As for what that soul power level one level above the Divine Appearance Realm was, he wasn’t entirely sure. If he calculated it according to the cultivation system of the small world and the unified cultivation system of the outside world, it should still be the Dao Foundation realm.

In the unified cultivation system of the outside world, the stages were Postnatal, Innate, Dao Foundation, Primordial Spirit, Great Completion, Immortal, and Emperor.

Postnatal encompassed all postnatal creatures, while Innate was for special life forms, though special life forms could also be transformed. For instance, Jian Wushuang was a postnatal special life form.

However, in the context of the highest laws, he wasn’t considered a special life form, as his perspective was relatively narrow back then.

The difference between Postnatal and Innate was significant, but the realms were the same.

The first step on the cultivation path was still the Dao Foundation, which included many things.

Take the current small world as an example: all cultivation realms within it belonged to the Dao Foundation.

They all cultivated the basics.

Above the Dao Foundation was the Myriad Phenomena stage, which included even more.

Among them, there were tens of thousands of laws, and the differences between those at the same realm could be vast.

A faint memory of his weaker days flashed through Jian Wushuang’s mind as his soul power split again.

After continuous divisions, he finally retained a trace of soul power that entered the space crystal.

Whoosh!

The space crystal, which had already turned to dust, transformed from black to transparent, circling Jian Wushuang like a stream.
