“Demon Dragon, wait on the universe boat.”

Jian Wushuang ordered and then rushed toward the Star Palace alone.

“Huh?”

After nearly a thousand years, Jian Wushuang was shocked when he returned to the Star Palace.

There were three Earth Stars in the void in front of him. The smallest one in the middle was the core.

These three Earth Stars were protected by a powerful magic formation and were connected to each other. Waves of power spread out, which was very intimidating.

“Three Earth Stars?”

Jian Wushuang had a strange look on his face.

Although Star Palace used to occupy an Earth Star as its nest, it was only one Earth Star. When did it become three Earth Stars?

Jian Wushuang’s soul power spread out and instantly sensed the auras of many experts on the three Earth Stars, which were much more numerous than before.

“It seems that Star Palace has changed a lot since I entered the Eternal Dark Prison.” Jian Wushuang smiled, but he had already appeared on the Earth Star in the center. The Magic Formation on the Earth Star did not stop him.

As soon as he returned to the Star Palace and released his soul power, Daoist Xuan God, Temporal Temple Master, and the others, who had been in the Star Palace, naturally noticed him. They immediately came forward to welcome him.

“Haha, my young friend, you’re finally back.”

“Heavenly Sword Marquis.”

A series of greetings sounded. There were two other people who appeared in front of Jian Wushuang besides Daoist Xuan God, Temporal Temple Master, Heaven-cleaving Alliance Master, and Heaven Ancestor.

Jian Wushuang also knew the two people. They were Xuan Yan and Di Shisan from the Seven Star Mysterious Sect.

Xuan Yan, as the Palace Master of the Seven Star Mysterious Sect’s punishment palace, was already a Ruler before the Seven Star Mysterious Sect was destroyed. Jian Wushuang was not surprised to see him in the Star Palace.

But Di Shisan…Jian Wushuang looked at Di Shisan. He could sense the incomparably sharp aura on the latter’s body. The latter stood there as if he was a sword that had lost its sharpness, but it was still a breathtaking matchless divine sword.

Di Shisan’s aura was much stronger than before.

“The Ruler realm.” Jian Wushuang’s eyes flashed with a strange light. Then he smiled and said, “Di Shisan, congratulations. You’ve finally broken through to the Ruler realm.”

“I was just lucky,” Di Shisan said calmly.

“Lucky?” Jian Wushuang shook his head secretly.

He knew very well that Di Shisan’s breakthrough to become a Ruler was not due to luck.

Before the Seven Star Mysterious Sect was destroyed, Di Shisan was widely recognized as the number one Principles Master. He had even cut off an arm of a Ruler when he was in the Principles Master realm. Although that Ruler was in the Divine Beginning Realm…his strength was suppressed, but Di Shisan was still very impressive for being able to do this.

He was already very close to becoming a Ruler. Unfortunately, before he could make a breakthrough, the Seven Star Mysterious Sect suffered a great change and was directly destroyed. He was also heavily injured and fell into a deep sleep. He stayed in the eternal chaotic world for a long time, during that long time, his strength could not increase because of the restriction of the Heavenly Dao environment.

It was not until Jian Wushuang refined the eternal chaotic world and brought them all back to the Divine Beginning Realm in recent years that their strength could slowly recover and begin to increase.

In addition, although Di Shisan had lost to Jian Wushuang in the battle, he had gained a lot of insights and went into closed-door cultivation.

In this closed-door cultivation, Di Shisan had directly broken through to become a Ruler.

It could be said that Di Shisan was able to break through purely because of his own strength. Moreover, he had accumulated a lot of strength. There was no luck involved at all.

“Heavenly Marquis, my young friend, I’m afraid you don’t know this. Di Shisan’s comprehension of the essence of the Dao of the sword is extremely high. After the battle with you, he went into seclusion, and in the past few years, he has once again greatly improved. In addition, he has perfected his own sword art system. After breaking through to become a Ruler, he has gone to the Third Dao realm to train. His improvement has been even more rapid, and he has also comprehended a set of principles. Right now, in terms of cultivation level, he is already a high-level Ruler. In terms of combat power, when paired with his most powerful supreme treasure, he is no weaker than a peak Ruler!”

“In the Divine Beginning Realm, except for you, Heavenly Sword Marquis, Di Shisan is the strongest.” Daoist Xuan God said with a smile.

“Oh?” Jian Wushuang could not help looking at Di Shisan.

How long had it been since he became a Ruler, and he already had the battle strength of a superior Ruler? He was stronger than Daoist Xuan God and the Heaven-cleaving Alliance Master?

“It’s mainly because the Three-layered Dao Realm is too magical.” Di Shisan was still as calm as ever.

Jian Wushuang shrugged helplessly. He had interacted with Di Shisan many times, and he knew very well that Di Shisan was such a cold and taciturn person.

“By the way, how has the overall strength of the Divine Beginning Realm improved during the thousand years I’ve been away?” Jian Wushuang asked.

He had given the Three-layered Dao Realm to Xuan Yi and the others a long time ago, and countless cultivators in the Divine Beginning Realm had already begun to improve their strength with the help of the Three-layered Dao Realm. Now that so many years had passed, there should be some results.

Seeing Jian Wushuang’s question, Daoist Xuan God, Temporal Temple Master, and the others looked at each other and laughed.

“My young friend, the Three-layered Dao Realm is really a treasure. It’s amazing. Over the years, a large number of cultivators in the Divine Beginning Realm have entered the Three-layered Dao Realm to cultivate, and each and every one of them has been greatly improved. Just at the level of Principles Masters, there have been more than 100,000 Principles Masters in the Divine Beginning Realm in the past thousands of years,” Daoist Xuan God said.

“More than 100,000?” Jian Wushuang’s eyes lit up.

How many Principles Masters did the Divine Beginning Realm have?

Probably less than 10,000.

However, in just a few thousand years, more than 100,000 Principles Masters had emerged. It was indeed a terrifying number.

“Where are the Rulers? Have there been any new Rulers born in the Divine Beginning Realm with the help of the Triple Dao World?” Jian Wushuang asked again.

“Not yet.” Daoist Xuan God shook his head. “The only Ruler born in the Divine Beginning Realm over the years is Di Shisan. However, Di Shisan relied on himself to make a breakthrough and then went to the Three-layered Dao Realm to cultivate.

“However, although the Three-layered Dao Realm has yet to nurture a Ruler, several Principles Masters who were originally cultivating in the second-layered Dao world are about to make a breakthrough. I reckon that there will be a few who will make a breakthrough in the next few hundred years at most. Among them, the fastest one to make a breakthrough should be your good friend, Demon Master Chenhuo.”

“Chenhuo?” Jian Wushuang’s expression changed.

Demon Master Chenhuo had been by his side for a long time and was indeed one of his best friends. He had reached the pinnacle of the six void realms and was one of the people closest to a Ruler, now that Chenhuo was about to make a breakthrough, Jian Wushuang was very happy.
