Chapter 6321: Jian Wushuang’s Surprise

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Although I lack divine power, my mastery of the laws has reached the foundational level. Not bad. Once I absorb the power of the spatial crystal, I should reach the limits of this world’s combat strength!” Jian Wushuang felt quite satisfied.

This was the advantage of having a supreme treasure, of course, provided that the treasure was unique enough.

If it were an ordinary treasure, no matter how much one of the deities from this world’s Divine Aspect Realm tried, they wouldn’t be able to attain it.

However, the Nine Prison Pagoda was different. It allowed even a small cultivator who had fallen from the Divine Aspect Realm to control it and utilize its inherent power. This was truly extraordinary.

But this alone wasn’t enough to surprise Jian Wushuang.

Now, he had been inside the Nine Prison Pagoda for a day, and his countless avatars had already spread out in all directions.

Each avatar’s Thought power covered a range of a billion miles. With ten thousand avatars, they covered a trillion miles, yet they still couldn’t find the boundary of the first layer. This place seemed like a world without borders.

Jian Wushuang had no choice but to send some weaker avatars to search for the boundary, while his main avatar remained in place.

His physical body had also almost finished refining, looking exactly like him—bronzed skin and sharp, chiseled features, all exuding a fierce aura.

“Now, let’s try controlling the Nine Prison Pagoda and send out the physical body. I wonder how Xiang Yang and the others are doing!”

Jian Wushuang wasn’t sure if the flow of time within the Nine Prison Pagoda differed from that of the outside world, which made him worried.

He was concerned about Jiang Shang’s safety.

Buzz!

As the thought arose, he began to comprehend the laws of the first layer of this world.

According to his calculations, a cultivator of the Divine Aspect Realm could control it, so with his current soul power, it should be effortless.

However, after comprehending several laws, his soul still couldn’t control the Nine Prison Pagoda!

“What’s going on?”

Jian Wushuang frowned.

He had already comprehended several laws, and by all accounts, he should have become the master of these laws. Moreover, the laws here weren’t simple; they were comparable to those of the Qinghuo Realm in the past.

Yet, he still couldn’t control the Nine Prison Pagoda!

He didn’t need much—just to master the first layer would be enough.

“Interesting. I underestimated this Nine Prison Pagoda. Its difficulty exceeds my expectations. Its range is comparable to a high-level world, and I still haven’t found the boundary. However, the further I go, the weaker the spatial power becomes. Its limit is probably only about the size of the Human Realm in the Four Great Secret Realms of the past, but the laws here are much stronger than those of a typical original universe. They’ve already touched the level of time and space. How did Immortal Jiu Chen inherit this Nine Prison Pagoda in the first place?”

The more Jian Wushuang thought about it, the more perplexed he became. He could only find out by asking Immortal Jiu Chen directly.

However, at this moment, he still believed that Jiu Chen had already fallen, which left him utterly puzzled.

“Forget it. Since I can’t master the first layer in a short time, I’ll break open a small hole at the edge and send my physical body out. When I scour everything, I’m sure I’ll find some clues!”

Jian Wushuang did not delve deeper into the matter. His main avatar, along with his physical body, began to head toward a weak spot in the space. Even if he couldn’t fully control the Nine Prison Pagoda, he could use burning thought power to break through the first layer of weak space and send his physical body out.

As long as his physical body could leave, the remaining main avatar would stay behind to continue comprehending, ensuring that nothing would be delayed.

“Yes, I’ll choose this spot!” Jian Wushuang halted his movements.

From the outside, this place didn’t seem much different from any other, but the space here was indeed weaker.

He only needed to burn a bit of soul power to pierce through.

“Soul burning!”

“Ha!”

Jian Wushuang formed his hand into a claw. Even though it wasn’t divine power he was burning, the fierce claw technique still caused the surrounding space to tremble instantly.

With a single tear, the sky-shattering claw broke the space apart, but it didn’t shatter the external space. However, it did leave a claw mark behind.

Within the deep, crisscrossing claw marks, a few specks of starlight could be seen.

That was light from the outside world.

“Go!”

In an instant, Jian Wushuang’s physical body transformed into a clear, crystalline stream of water. Following those tiny stars, he left the Nine Prison Pagoda in an instant.

Outside.

Xiang Yang, who was carrying the Nine Prison Pagoda, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He quickly threw down the pagoda and retreated in a hurry.

This action confused the others, who turned to look at the Nine Prison Pagoda, only to find their mouths gaping open in shock.

Except for Xiang Yang, who had initially been the most worried, but now that he saw the water stream surging out, his face lit up with joy.

The others, who had lived their whole lives in this mundane world, were powerful beings themselves, referred to as upper Immortals, but their vision was much more limited.

Such divine techniques weren’t even recorded in ancient legacies.

The water stream shot out and instantly condensed into the appearance of Jian Wushuang, identical to the person they had seen before.

However, they stared at him in disbelief, their faces filled with fear.

It was Xiang Yang who broke the silence, hurrying forward to ask, “Brother Wushuang, have you regained your strength?”

Such a transformation of form at least required one to reach the Immortal stage.

This stage encompassed both the Yan Immortal and Great Yan Immortal, as well as the Dao Lords.

Xiang Yang assumed Jian Wushuang had regained his strength to the Immortal level, which meant he could take him along for the ride.

In fact, his assumption wasn’t wrong. Jian Wushuang had indeed reached the Immortal stage, but unfortunately, only his soul power had reached that level.

However, without a suitable physical body, it was impossible to bear the soul power of the Immortal stage.

The growth of the physical body couldn’t be separated from law, wealth, companions, and land, bringing him back to square one.

“Everyone, don’t you recognize me?”

Jian Wushuang’s lips curled into a smile, and his aura spread out in an instant. However, it didn’t target the crowd but instead swept through all the surrounding life forms, checking if anyone was watching them.

This time, his thought power coverage could extend to a limit of five hundred miles, a tenfold increase.

The only unfortunate part was that when his physical body left the Nine Prison Pagoda, it had absorbed quite a few space crystals from the fissures, preventing him from reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Form stage. Instead, he remained in the middle of the Nascent Soul stage.

This was somewhat disappointing, as he had initially planned to come out and immediately take control of this world.

However, it wasn’t a significant issue. The soul power within his current physical body had already surpassed the Divine Form stage. Burning divine power was enough to rival a cultivator of the Divine Form stage, and this world posed no substantial threat to him.

Moreover, his main avatar was still inside the Nine Prison Pagoda. Even if he burned soul power, he could instantly replenish it.

With this, he could burn soul power at will.

“This soul-burning secret technique is really useful. Once I regain my strength, I must study this soul-burning technique!” Jian Wushuang pondered in his heart.

Outwardly, he spoke to the others about his experiences. Since their knowledge was limited, he didn’t go into too much detail, only mentioning that he had been trapped in the Nine Prison Pagoda and had obtained an ancient legacy, eventually breaking through to the middle of the Nascent Soul stage and successfully escaping the Nine Prison Pagoda.

He wasn’t deceiving them. If he said too much, they wouldn’t understand anyway.

As for Xiang Yang, Jian Wushuang didn’t hide much from him, only sending him a brief transmission, indicating that he was now invincible in the mortal realm and could roam freely as he pleased.
