Legend of Swordsman

4394 Setting up the World

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Their envious faces were instantly petrified and they looked at Jian Wushuang in shock.

This…this was a rejection?

There were actually people who could reject a Cosmos God?

They looked at Jian Wushuang as if he was an idiot. Tian Luo Zi couldn’t help but laugh in his heart.

“Jian Wushuang, Oh Jian Wushuang, you can’t even grasp such a heaven-defying opportunity!”

He already had a master?

No matter how strong your teacher is, could he be stronger than the Lord Cosmos God?

At that moment, Jian Wushuang was once again labeled as ‘stupid’ in their hearts.

“Is that so?” On the other hand, the Cosmos God’s expression remained the same. He sized up Jian Wushuang thoughtfully.

Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something. His eyes flashed as he said, “Child, come closer and let me take a look.”

Jian Wushuang was puzzled, but he still walked over obediently.

The Cosmos God stretched out his hand and touched Jian Wushuang’s glabella with his fingertip. He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

A gentle power flowed into Jian Wushuang’s divine body.

After a few breaths, the Cosmos God opened his eyes as a smile appeared on his lips once more.

“Hahaha, I see, I see, I understand now.”

He looked at Jian Wushuang again and his expression became interesting. He seemed to be talking to himself, but also to Jian Wushuang, “No wonder you didn’t want to accept me as your master. It turns out that you were already attacked by that old friend, so it’s normal for you to reject me.”

In towering Palace, the others were puzzled when they heard that. They did not understand what a Cosmos God meant.

Only Jian Wushuang could not help but be shocked!

“Lord Cosmos God, could it be that you know my master?” Jian Wushuang’s voice became a little rough as he stared at the Cosmos God.

Xuan Yi was the deepest secret in his heart, and also his greatest restraint.

The Cosmos God smiled but did not say anything. However, his voice rang in Jian Wushuang’s mind.

“Your master…I’m more than just acquainted with him.”

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang was shocked once again. He understood that perhaps the matter regarding his master was a great secret. That was why the Cosmos God had told him through voice transmission.

“Lord Cosmos God, can you tell me where my master is now?” Jian Wushuang said respectfully.

When the Cosmos God heard this, he muttered to himself for a moment before shaking his head and transmitting a message, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your master, so I naturally don’t know where he is. I only know that before he disappeared, he was setting up a big game of chess, placing chess pieces everywhere.”

Pausing for a moment, the Cosmos God smiled and continued, “Child, your master has always been a mysterious person. You don’t need to guess his whereabouts. If he needs you, he will naturally come to find you. What you need to do now is to do everything you can to increase your strength.”

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang could not help but look a little dazed.

Even the Lord Cosmos God did not know of his teacher’s whereabouts?

Furthermore, the Lord Cosmos God said that his master was setting up a chess game. Then what was the purpose of this chess game?

He…was he just a chess piece that his master had laid down?

For a moment, Jian Wushuang had mixed feelings.

After taking a deep breath, Jian Wushuang bowed deeply to the Cosmos God, cupped his hands, and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Lord Cosmos God.”

“It’s your karma that you can stand in front of me. There’s no need to thank me.” The Cosmos God laughed. “Alright. Jian Wushuang, you can leave now. Prepare for the second round of the test.”

“Yes.”

Jian Wushuang took his leave.

The Cosmos God raised his head and looked at everyone before saying, “Everyone, please come forward for the second part of the test. You are the top two in the monthly test.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the top three cultivators in the competition of cultivation years were overjoyed and walked out of their tables excitedly.

They knew that they had advanced to the second round!

As for those who were not in the top three, such as Supreme Bing Ye and Scarlet Sun Demon Master, their expressions changed slightly as if they had lost their parents.

They knew that their journey to the Great Clan Gathering had come to an end.

Tian Luo Zi was overjoyed when he heard that. There were only him and Jian Wushuang in the Ultimate Ruler Realm. According to the Cosmos God, didn’t that mean that he had also advanced to the second round?

He had just stood up and was about to walk out of the table.

Suddenly, the voice of the Cosmos God rang out once more.

Jian Wushuang alone is enough to reach the Ultimate Ruler Realm.

In an instant, Tian Luo Zi’s face turned red and he was extremely embarrassed.

All eyes were on him, full of mockery.

“I, I understand.”

Tian Luo Zi could only sit back down.

All of a sudden, including Jian Wushuang, sixteen experts stood in Ling Xiao Palace. Their aura was extremely powerful.

They sized each other up and understood in their hearts that out of these 16 people, six were destined to be eliminated. Only ten people would truly have the qualifications to listen to the Dao under the command of an Cosmos God.

The Cosmos God had a warm smile on his face as he swept his gaze across the faces of these 16 people. He spoke slowly, “The sixteen of you are the strongest in your respective realms and are also the most talented. You will be the future pillars of our universe, the undying cornerstones.”

“Now, I hope that you will seize the opportunity and complete the second round of the exam.”

As soon as these words fell, the sixteen people looked at each other, and their eyes gradually became serious.

“Then, let’s start with Long Qing.”

The Cosmos God spoke indifferently.

Long Qing took a step forward and clenched his fist, waiting for the right moment.

“Let me ask you, what is Dao?”

The Cosmos God then revealed the content of the second round of assessment.

Long Qing’s eyes narrowed, but he didn’t answer immediately. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, “Lord Cosmos God, I believe that the Dao is to be invincible and to crush all enemies in the world! It’s to hold on to the beliefs in one’s heart and not turn back until you hit the south wall…”

Long Qing was describing his own Dao in thousands of words.

Just like his personality, his Dao was to seek revenge for the smallest grievance and to be invincible.

The Cosmos God listened quietly without any interruption. There was no emotion on his face.

Only after Long Qing had finished speaking did the Cosmos God take out a bamboo board and pass it to the disciple beside him for him to pass it to Long Qing.

“Wu Fang, tell me what you think is the Dao.”

The Cosmos God continued looking at the person beside Long Qing.

This man was also a half-step invincible Ruler, an alien outsider who had trained for a thousand chaos cycles and was ranked second among the half-step invincible Rulers.

“Yes!”

The Supreme martial artist named Wu Fang walked out and began to talk about the Dao he believed in.

“Dao is heaven and earth, Dao is the universe and stars…”

Time slowly passed, and in Ling Xiao Palace, people took turns to sing and talk, their domineering aura was unparalleled, as if they could swallow thousands of miles.

Some people talked about The Evolution of Chaos, while others talked about the rise of the universe. Each one spoke more grandly than the other, as if they were not competing in their understanding of Dao, but in who said that the pattern was the largest.
