For a peak Grand Yan Immortal to ask such a grand question, it was already very obvious.
Jian Wushuang had already roughly guessed who the Sword Spirit's master was.
After hearing this news, the black-robed old man's expression returned to normal. He nodded and said, "The Emperor's order."
Then, his gaze moved between Jian Wushuang and Nan Xuan before finally landing on Jian Wushuang.
"Young friend, have you seen Emperor Zhen Wuyang before?"
The black-robed old man shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. "I'm really old and muddle-headed. Why would I ask such a question?"
"Yes, I have," Jian Wushuang replied, looking as calm as ever.
The black-robed old man's eyes immediately narrowed in disbelief. "You've really seen him before? How could you possibly have seen him before?"
"…"
It was no wonder that the black-robed old man had such a reaction. One had to know that as the Emperor of the entire boundless Dasi Region, Zhen Wuyang was already a supreme existence.
The Heavenly Court's foundation was the Heaven Realm. Just the Heaven Realm alone was not something that ordinary Derived Immortals could peek at, let alone see Zhen Wuyang's true appearance!
That was why the black-robed old man lost his composure when he heard Jian Wushuang's words.
In order to avoid any hidden dangers caused by his words, Jian Wushuang added, "During the Heavenly Court's banquet, I saw him from afar."
Realization dawned on him. "I see, I see."
Although there were loopholes in his words, he still managed to dodge it. Jian Wushuang could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief. He could sense that the old man had no ill intentions and was just reminiscing about some things in the past.
At that moment, the black-robed old man spoke again. "Since you've seen Emperor Zhen Wuyang before, have you seen another person?"
"Who?"
"A Derived Immortal who followed Emperor Zhen Wuyang. His name is Yu Chang."
Upon hearing this name, Jian Wushuang's Divine Consciousness trembled. He was far more familiar with this name than Zhen Wuyang.
The first time he narrowly escaped death, the second time he narrowly escaped death, and the chance to meet him in the Heavenly Court had left a deep impression on him.
Jian Wushuang nodded. "Yes."
A rare look of joy appeared on the black-robed old man's face. "How is he doing recently? Is there anything you can improve? "
"Everything is fine. Nothing serious."
"That's good. I'm relieved." He nodded with a satisfied smile in his eyes. "Since everything has been learned, I have no reason to keep you here."
Jian Wushuang's heart moved. If the black-robed old man did not stop him, then he would pass the first test.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand. In an instant, everything receded like a tide.
"My obsession has been resolved. Next, I will truly fall into a deep slumber. Thank you, little friend." The black-robed old man smiled and cupped his hands.
Jian Wushuang was startled. He suddenly realized where the heavy lethargy came from.
The black-robed old man was unavoidably heading towards death!
As if confirming his guess, the black-robed old man finally said, "I'm about to wither and die. I don't have anything left to offer. If you don't mind, little friend, you can take it as a memento."
As soon as he said that, an object the size of a thumb was thrown to Jian Wushuang.
He caught it and took a look. It was an inky green prism crystal. Light flowed within it and it emitted an unparalleled power.
In the center of the tiny prism crystal was the word "Yu".
"Little friend, take care."
After saying that, the black-robed old man's figure turned into a gust of wind and disappeared.
An inky green brilliance floated in the air like a fish and finally returned to the prism crystal in Jian Wushuang's hand.
Jian Wushuang looked at the prism crystal in his hand in a daze. A sword spirit from the Ancient Gazing Era, a peak Grand Expansion Immortal, had perished just like that.
He left almost no trace behind and disappeared without any earth-shattering scene.
It made one sigh.
After adjusting his state of mind, Jian Wushuang looked at Nan Xuan. "Let's go. Why are you still in a daze?"
Nan Xuan returned to his senses and looked at him with a wry smile. "The more time we spend together, the more I realize that I can't see through you."
"If you can't see through me, then keep it for later. The most important thing now is to leave this place," said Jian Wushuang as he casually stuffed the prism crystal into his clothes.
Nan Xuan nodded and followed him down the mountain.
Standing on the mountain peak, Jian Wushuang looked back at the black-robed old man one last time before leaving.
The entire Sword Mountain or Sword Tomb seemed to have lost its spirit. All the true swords and sword billets had disappeared, turning into a green mountain.
After leaving the Sword Mountain, the path ahead was no longer a rugged mountain path. Instead, it became a wide path paved with green stones.
The path was so wide that it extended into the depths of the clouds in the distance.
"The second stage?"
Jian Wushuang was puzzled, but he still stepped forward.
The moment he stepped onto the green stone path, a strange aura silently rose.
An extremely hot aura rose from all directions, burning everything. Even with Jian Wushuang's immortal body, he could feel this strange heat.
However, this extremely hot aura quickly disappeared and was replaced by extreme cold.
The alternating cold and heat made one feel extremely uncomfortable.
"What's going on? Why is it so strange?" Nan Xuan frowned, then reached out and stirred the air.
He was actually casually changing the laws of this world!
If Derivation Immortals were above the Heavenly Dao, then Grand Derivation Immortals were not only above the Heavenly Dao, they could also casually change the laws of the Heavenly Dao!
And Nan Xuan was a Grand Derivation Immortal. To him, changing the Heavenly Dao of this world was an extremely simple matter.
Soon, he finished changing it. This strange weather was forcefully changed into a cloudless sky.
Jian Wushuang did not know whether to laugh or cry. To change the Heavenly Dao in such a big way just for the sake of clear weather, perhaps only Nan Xuan could do this.
"Alright, this cursed weather is gone. Let's hurry." He raised his eyebrows and said proudly.
Jian Wushuang nodded and led the way.
The first stage of the sword mountain passed without any disturbance, then the second stage would probably be much more difficult.
He was not sure if Divine Craftsman Xu Tuo would increase the difficulty, so he might as well go all out.
Jian Wushuang did not think that the next stage would be easy since there was such a terrifying ancient breaking almighty slumbering in the sword mountain.
This wide path paved with bluestone was very likely the second stage.
Only by passing through this wide path could he possibly meet Divine Craftsman Xu Tuo.
Although Jian Wushuang was not sure if he could unlock the secret of the Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor after meeting Divine Craftsman Xu Tuo, he still did not hesitate.
Even if the information was vague, he still searched.
At this moment, Nan Xuan suddenly said, "Little friend, do you think there is some Derivation Immortal guarding this path?"
