Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6351: Entering the Divine Fire Temple



Jian Wushuang wasn't worried. A divine eye inheritance left behind by a Universe Master-he had no concerns about whether he could withstand it.

His mental state was steady, his soul intact.

Everything was in place!

"Guidance?" He smirked slightly.

He didn't need it at all.

Ignoring Immortal Jiu Chen's constant chatter, he sat cross-legged and stopped nurturing Jiu Chen with his soul power. Instead, he fully immersed himself in his own state of mind.

Seeing Jian Wushuang's posture, Jiu Chen was momentarily stunned.

"Is this kid out of his mind?" Doubts arose in his heart, but then he sensed Jian Wushuang's thought power approaching the Divine Fire Temple.

Such behavior seemed utterly absurd to him.

The inheritance token could only be used once inside, and to enter this first sequence of the inheritance hall, Jiu Chen's guidance was necessary. Yet now, Jian Wushuang seemed to be preparing to guide himself inside.

Jiu Chen thought he had gone mad.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He immediately mocked, "Kid, you're way too arrogant. I already told you, the existence that opened the inheritance hall isn't something you can just..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a powerful thought power surge behind him.

That thought power continuously grew stronger.

In an instant, it broke through the Godly Form Realm, surpassing Manifestation, Primordial Spirit, and Great Accomplishment, finally stepping into the realm of immortality.

Jiu Chen quickly turned his head to look-it was Jian Wushuang.

His eyes almost popped out of his head in shock, his voice trembling as he stammered, "You... how did you get here? No, how did your strength suddenly become so powerful?"

This development was beyond his expectations.

Standing before the Divine Fire Temple, Jian Wushuang clasped his hands behind his back, speaking indifferently, "How I got here doesn't matter. Why I've become so powerful? Naturally, it's because this place is isolated from the Heavenly Dao. Without its suppression, I can naturally return to my peak!"

"What? You said Heavenly Dao suppression?" Jiu Chen suddenly realized-he had been deceived by Jian Wushuang all along.

In the mortal world, suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, his split incarnation had never become a true Immortal and hadn't opened a small world. Everything had been Jian Wushuang's fabrication.

The so-called Dao Child wasn't real. Most likely, his split incarnation had already been destroyed by Jian Wushuang, allowing him to enter this place.

For a moment, Jiu Chen was left speechless.

Jian Wushuang stood there, slightly clenching his fist as powerful thought power swept around him. The long-lost feeling lifted his spirits.

Just now, he had reached the Divine Fire Temple with his thought power.

He quickly discovered that there was no Heavenly Dao suppression here, which made sense- this inheritance hall, created by a Universe Master, naturally isolated itself from the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, his true soul, trapped within the Nine Prison Pagoda, had been able to emerge.

In the mortal world, powerful beings beneath transcendence could only be maintained at the peak of the Godly Form Realm.

Even a transcendent soul without a physical body would be suppressed.

Thus, he couldn't leave in the outside world.

But here, he could fully emerge.

With the soul power of an Immortal, Jian Wushuang felt revitalized, his mood improving significantly.

"Senior Jiu Chen, I'll head in first. If I pass the inheritance, I might consider helping you restore your peak strength, or even help you leave this hall. But on one condition-you must acknowledge me as your master. You can start thinking it over now!" Jian Wushuang teased, then turned and entered the Divine Fire Temple.

Left behind, Jiu Chen's face flushed with embarrassment as he recalled his earlier boasts in front of Jian Wushuang. Feeling exposed, his anger flared at the suggestion of submitting to him.

Back then, he had split his soul, discarding the part filled with ambition, and refused to leave the Divine Fire Temple. How could he now pledge allegiance to Jian Wushuang?

"Hmph, let's see if you can survive first!" He snorted coldly and turned his head away.

In his mind, even if Jian Wushuang had reached the Immortal level, he was still no match for his master.

His master was someone beyond the Emperor.

A mere Immortal? Jiu Chen didn't even consider him a threat. Even without Jian Wushuang's nurturing, Jiu Chen believed that with a few thousand years of self-recovery, he could re- enter the Divine Fire Temple and guide everything himself.

Fuming, he sat cross-legged before the hall, focusing on restoring his soul power.

...

Jian Wushuang stepped into the Divine Fire Temple and immediately felt a pressure filled with divine power, emanating the essence of fire.

From this pressure alone, he could estimate the strength of the one who wielded this fire's divine power.

"Divine power of fire... mastered the ultimate path within the Origin Source of fire. The divine power should be at a semi-divine level, around fifty million!"

With just the presence of the pressure, Jian Wushuang could roughly gauge the opponent's strength.

However, this pressure seemed to have existed for a long time, and it was merely something left behind casually by the Universe Master of the Shenyanzu universe who had opened this

place long ago.

The true divine power of the original being likely rivaled that of a Universe God.

But this wasn't much of a surprise, considering that this world might harbor Universe Gods of six stars or higher.

What surprised him was how quickly he had encountered a legacy on par with the Universe

God level.

He had been in this world for less than a year, and this place was still considered a mortal

world.

He couldn't deny that his luck had been extraordinary, stumbling upon such an incredible

opportunity.

Even after his reconstruction, his fortune remained astonishing.

This was the destiny of one chosen by fate.

Jian Wushuang continued walking, passing through the long corridor of the main hall and

entering the central chamber.

There was no divine statue or altar here.

The setup was simple, with only a few items like an incense burner and a square table.

From the outside, the temple appeared boundless in power, but inside, it was incredibly

understated.

Below, there were six meditation cushions. As Jian Wushuang moved closer to investigate, he realized that a barrier surrounded them.

Based on what he had learned from Immortal Jiu Chen earlier, these cushions had been left by those who had already received the inheritance within this temple.

Though Immortal Jiu Chen seemed like someone who had never seen a living person, that was because he had been in slumber for over ten thousand years.

Moreover, his consciousness had split into so many parts that he had forgotten his early

experiences.

The Jiu Chen outside was different. Not only had he obtained a treasure like the Nine Prison Pagoda, but he had also claimed to have traversed nine worlds, which was why he named

himself Jiu Chen.

Initially, Jian Wushuang had thought these nine worlds referred to ancient domains, but now

it seemed they were great worlds.

This made it unsurprising that Jiu Chen had set up an array to advance into a fearsome ghost and might have obtained the Nine Prison Pagoda from the bodies of those who had entered

this place before him.

One had to remember that even receiving an inheritance carried risks.

These risks could lead to one's demise.

And when someone perished, their treasures would naturally fall into Jiu Chen's hands.

According to Jiu Chen's true self, the foundation of this inheritance was the soul, and entering

the temple would test one's consciousness.

The earlier pressure test was merely the beginning.

Next, there would be three trials to pass, followed by six rounds of selection, and nine secret

methods of inheritance.

What Jian Wushuang lacked now was time. Given the obstacles, he needed to advance quickly.

So, he concealed his soul essence within the Nine Prison Pagoda once more, leaving behind only his spiritual body, still at the level of a divine being.

The inheritance of the Shenyanzu required very little in terms of cultivation level. Even a cultivator at the Jindan stage could enter.
