Chapter 6112: Ji Tang
Unexpectedly, Qishen Temple was holding a trial again after such a long time, and it was conducted by the top figures in the temple to recruit disciples and teach them.
Initially, he had planned to send a group of Yan Immortals in himself, but upon reflection, he realized that with his current status, he didn’t rank anywhere in Qishen Temple. Moreover, he had no family power and held no position in the temple.
Without power or influence, what was the point of nurturing Yan Immortals?
He could have sought shelter under Wu Zuo, but he couldn’t bring himself to do so. Wu Zuo had once worked under him.
Now it was his turn, and he couldn’t lower himself, so he found a quiet place in the small world of the Desolate Domain to meditate in seclusion.
If Jian Wushuang hadn’t personally invited him, he wouldn’t have come out.
Moreover, this matter held significant meaning for him.
He knew Jian Wushuang wanted to train disciples, and once they achieved great success, they wouldn’t forget him.
Why not do it?
It was indeed a good thing, otherwise Jian Wushuang wouldn’t have sought out Lu Hua.
Back then, Emperor Lu Hua had helped him a lot.
Moreover, he and Wu Zuo had once tricked Emperor Lu Hua, causing him to lose his position as palace lord first.
This could be considered compensation!
As the two reminisced, a cold voice came from outside the door.
“Master!”
Hearing the voice, Lu Hua smiled and said, “Ji Tang, come in quickly!”
Creak!
The wooden door was pushed open.
It was the young girl who had previously killed the white-haired old demon with a single sword on the mountaintop.
She was also the little princess of the Ji family dynasty.
Upon entering the room, Ji Tang saw Jian Wushuang, and with just one glance, she sensed his extraordinary nature.
The entire person was reserved and introverted.
With sword-like brows and starry eyes, he looked like a divine sword ready to be unsheathed.
Besides these, there were some vague memories.
In the hazy memories, she seemed to have seen him before.
“Ji Tang, do you recognize this senior?” Lu Hua stood up and introduced, “Without him, you and I wouldn’t have this bond!”
Jian Wushuang made a funny face, stood up, and said with a light smile, “Little girl, long time no see!”
“It’s you?” Ji Tang’s face lit up with joy as she exclaimed, “Was it you who brought me here back then?”
Although the memory was fuzzy, she always remembered a man with a funny face carrying a sword who threw her into the mountains.
Later, she was found by her brother.
“Yes, it was me!” Jian Wushuang nodded and said, “Now that you have completed your studies, do you want to go out and see the world?”
Ji Tang hesitated at these words.
“Don’t hesitate. Your brother’s matter can be handled by him!” In fact, Emperor Lu Hua could
have taken care of this, but Jian Wushuang had suppressed it.
Jian Wushuang’s real intention was not just to train Ji Tang.
There was also her brother.
He created this paradise because of that young man.
Later, he discovered that Ji Tang’s character was very suitable for practicing swordsmans.h.i.+p, so he brought her in as well.
“Shen Jian!”
That young man had great potential.
He was the most promising candidate to inherit Jian Wushuang’s Starry Sky Chronicles.
At the very least, he could inherit the s.p.a.cetime Chronicles.
The Starry Sky Chronicles was too difficult, requiring the mastery of the power of the Starry Sky.
This alone stumped almost everyone.
The first five sword moves of the Starry Sky Chronicles were relatively easy; mastering the
power of the Starry Sky was enough.
But to master all nine sword moves…
Forget others, even Jian Wushuang couldn’t do it.
Back when he fused with Hu Qing, he could only perform the sixth sword move.
At that time, his combat power had already reached the level of a Universe G.o.d.
A Universe G.o.d could only perform the sixth sword move.
To master all nine swords, what kind of power would that require?
Moreover, to practice the ninth sword, one would need the Origin Source of the starry sky.
No one could do that except him.
But being able to master the first five swords was enough to dominate the entire Northern
Starry Sky.
“Your brother Shen Jian will also leave with you!”
This time, he came personally to take Shen Jian and Ji Tang away together.
However, there was one more thing to do before they left.
When Ji Tang heard that her brother could leave with her and that his injuries could be healed,
her eyes turned red.
For tens of thousands of years, she had been searching for an antidote to save her brother.
“Let’s go!” Lu Hua raised his hand and pointed outside, saying, “Yan Shuang has also
returned!”
Yan Shuang was that arrogant man.
In fact, he was also arranged by Jian Wushuang.
It was to temper Shen Jian.
Back then, Shen Jian was poisoned by Yan Shuang.
It couldn’t be said that Jian Wushuang had no direct connection, but there were many intricate
links.
Outside the wooden house, they happened to meet Yan Shuang returning.
“You…” Yan Shuang saw Jian Wushuang and stepped back in fear!
That face, he would never forget in his lifetime.
A demon!
A devil!
Jian Wushuang, however, smiled and transmitted a message: “Yan Shuang, it’s time for you
to make a sacrifice!”
He didn’t pay much attention to Shen Jian and Ji Tang.
But he had spent a lot of effort on Yan Shuang.
This was a test set up for Shen Jian.
If he pa.s.sed, he would transform like a carp into a dragon.
But even if it meant eternal d.a.m.nation.
He would also give Yan Shuang an opportunity.
No one could say he was biased.
“Yan Shuang, don’t be rude!” Lu Hua knew this was Jian Wushuang’s plan and glared: “This
senior is someone I specifically invited to take you away from this world, come and pay your
respects!”
Upon hearing this, Yan Shuang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: “Greetings, senior!”
But his eyes were avoiding, as if he had a guilty conscience.
Jian Wushuang stood aside with a harmless look, completely different from what Yan Shuang
had seen. Only Jian Wushuang and Lu Hua knew Yan Shuang’s true ident.i.ty.
In the mundane world, he was a child raised by a bandit, who had committed arson, murder,
and robbery from a young age.
Later, he was chosen by Jian Wushuang, sent to Lu Hua’s side, and played the role of a great
demon, always holding Yan Shuang’s weakness.
The scheme against Shen Jian back then was instigated by him.
But Yan Shuang also had his own selfish motives, he desperately wanted Ji Tang, but he could
see that Ji Tang had no interest in him at all, so he deeply hated Shen Jian.
Thus, he had the idea of scheming against him.
Jian Wushuang gave a little guidance, and the following events happened.
He gave Shen Jian the opportunity to temper himself and Ji Tang the motivation to
continuously surpa.s.s herself.
It was a win-win situation.
Lu Hua took the three of them around the wooden house to a cave mansion at the back of the
mountain.
This was where Shen Jian was to heal.
To prevent Ji Tang from knowing his arrangement.
This time, he chose mental tempering.
The four stood outside the cave.
Jian Wushuang only pointed a finger, and a dark red light entered the cave mansion.
In just an instant!
The originally weak and powerless Shen Jian reappeared at the cave entrance, full of spirit,
with flying sideburns, like an immortal.
No, he had already achieved the status of a Derived Immortal.
Moreover, on his back, he carried a broken sword.
As for Yan Shuang, he stood in place with vacant eyes, no longer moving.
His soul had already been extracted by Jian Wushuang and sent to reincarnate in the Original
Universe.
The mental trial was very fast for them.
