Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5649 Candidates

Six individuals stood, with only Zhen Ling sitting alone.

….

“The matter is as it is. All of you go back and consider. This time, no more than ten people will venture into the alternate spacetime. Absolutely do not disclose it to anyone!” Zhen Ling said and then let the others disperse.

However, Jian Wushuang was left behind.

Returning home, already aware of the situation, he had made a decision in his heart, finding it quite easy.

It was different for the others.

Especially for the senior figures of the Original Universe.

Zhen Wuyang and Shang.

The two of them attached great importance to the external temporal river, especially the Original Universe.

They felt that Zhen Ling’s directive for them to go to other temporal rivers was a blatant evasion.

There was hesitation in their hearts.

On the other hand, Gu Qianluo and Guangying were quite relaxed, only considering gains and losses without caring much about the outside world.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

They didn’t have much attachment to the outside world.

After coming to the Qishen Temple, their only goal was to become stronger, with no intention of giving back.

Otherwise, with the chaos in the outside world, they would have gone out.

Shang was in seclusion, or else he would have gone out as well.

Zhen Wuyang’s main body had always been conquering in the outside world.

There was also Tongtian Buddha, who hadn’t even left a clone behind and was currently leading 16 universes in the outside world, confronting the Temple of World Annihilation head-on.

These people were the future backbone.

No wonder Zhen Ling hesitated.

It was also for this reason.

In case they raised a white-eyed wolf, it wouldn’t be good.

With only the two of them left, Jian Wushuang didn’t hold back and directly sat down.

Zhen Ling personally poured tea for Jian Wushuang.

“Tsk tsk, taste it. This is the tea from your temporal river. You won’t know when you’ll get to drink it again in the future!”

Indeed, after Zhen Ling and the others left, it would probably take tens of thousands of epochs for them to return.

Normal Tribulation Realms were simply ineffective.

At least Three or even Four Tribulation realms were required to have a certain effect.

Among the current candidates, all were potential Tribulation Realm cultivators.

The opportunity had come. Becoming a Tribulation Realm was not difficult.

But how far one could go depended on their own abilities.

In the long run, practitioners like Zhen Wuyang and Tongtian Buddha could actually go further.

Because they had extremely strong adaptability.

This was also the reason why Zhen Ling initially favored Shang.

Being too against the heavens was also not good because the path was difficult.

Just like Jian Wushuang, who as a Dao Lord could kill the supreme-peak, which was incredibly against the heavens.

But thinking about it, in the same era, practitioners like Hu Qing and Gu Qianluo were already supreme-peak experts before Jian Wushuang merged with the Dao.

It meant that Jian Wushuang won the gamble, succeeded in merging with the Dao, and surpassed everyone.

If merging with the Dao failed, their strength would probably be inferior to these people.

The risk was too great.

“After this opportunity, there would be very few chances, but I will do my utmost to come back as soon as possible!” Jian Wushuang declared firmly.

Whether it was for his hometown universe, the temporal river, or the power of Death, he had to confront Mie Sheng; there was no escaping it.

That was fate!

Zhen Ling had some confidence in Jian Wushuang and wasn’t afraid that he would truly run away and not return.

“How much do you know about Mie Sheng’s situation now?” Zhen Ling asked tentatively.

Since Mie Sheng’s appearance, there had been little connection between the two.

However, in the cave of the Mahayana Spirit Mountain, Jian Wushuang traveled to the once fragmented Moro Spacetime and saw a lot, gaining some understanding of Mie Sheng.

Jian Wushuang didn’t hide anything and explained the matter of the power of Death and the power of Life.

He felt that the complexity of this matter was not only due to the power of Life but also because of the involvement of Qishen.

He just couldn’t easily say it.

If Mie Sheng was solely after him, he probably would have been annihilated long ago.

Why wait until now?

After hearing the whole story, Zhen Ling nodded slightly and sighed, “Have you seen the future of this temporal river?”

This sentence startled Jian Wushuang.

Subconsciously wanting to shake his head, he found himself frozen.

With a wave of Zhen Ling’s hand, in front of them, the image of a Temporal Origin Source appeared—a Temporal Origin Source already shrouded in darkness.

“This temporal river will eventually perish. This is the prediction of a powerful seer!”

Jian Wushuang was stunned upon hearing this.

Initially, he thought Zhen Ling could see that he had traveled to the future, but it turned out that someone had foreseen the changes in the future spacetime.

This temporal river was destined for destruction.

And the Qishen Temple would be destroyed along with it!

Seeing the shocked expression on Jian Wushuang’s face, Zhen Ling smiled faintly and spoke, “Of course, you don’t have to believe in the existence of that prophecy!”

Jian Wushuang, just like when he entered the future spacetime, had absolute faith.

In the world to come, he failed to merge with the Dao and ultimately perished.

As for the subsequent demise of the temporal river, he was unaware.

However, being able to see the future failure made him feel that there was probably some connection.

“Is this existence a powerhouse from the Qishen Temple?” Jian Wushuang asked curiously.

Predicting the future, the Universe Masters could achieve such feats.

The First True King had also foreseen the future of the Three Kings Court.

Unfortunately, when facing some extraordinary individuals, accurate predictions were impossible.

This was also the reason why Jian Wushuang was able to succeed in merging with the Dao.

If the predictions were too accurate, he would probably have already failed.

“It’s not the case. Besides me, the Qishen Temple no longer has such super-strong individuals. Even the original entity back then wasn’t that powerful!”

Zhen Ling sighed and shook his head. If there was such a formidable existence in the Qishen Temple, he wouldn’t be in such a passive situation.

Jian Wushuang frowned slightly, pressing for answers, “Why, Senior, would you help the Qishen Temple predict the future?”

Since the prediction indicated that the Qishen Temple would be destroyed along with the temporal river, there must be some connection between them.

Otherwise, there was no reason for such a matter to be brought up out of the blue.

Just like now, a presence he couldn’t fully comprehend suddenly appeared, directly telling him that he would become a Nine Tribulations realm powerhouse in the future; surely, he couldn’t believe it.

“Speaking of which, the relationship with the Qishen Temple is not significant, but there is some personal connection with the Temple Master Xuan Yi, so I was willing to inform them!”

Now, without Zhen Ling saying much, Jian Wushuang began to understand.

No wonder the Black Tortoise Temple and the Qishen Temple were somewhat out of sync.

It turned out that, after believing the words of some old fellow, they were preparing to leave early, without even thinking about restoring the Qishen Temple!

Zhen Ling seemed to perceive Jian Wushuang’s thoughts and hurriedly corrected, “Actually, the Black Tortoise Temple is not in an easy situation either. In recent years, due to the emergence of Mie Sheng, their assets have been almost depleted!”

In external wars, the Temple of World Annihilation had the Holy Water, assisting practitioners in undergoing the sacrifice ritual to enhance their strength.

Qishen Temple relied on the puppets of Black Tortoise Temple.

This was the only way they could barely suppress the other side.

If the Black Tortoise Temple ran away, the Qishen Temple would now be on the brink of collapse.

“As for this prophecy, I believed it somewhat before, but after seeing you all, I changed my mind!” Zhen Ling said as he stood up.

Previously, he thought that the one who would destroy this temporal river was the Inheritor nurtured by his Qishen Temple.
