Legend of Swordsman

4505 Call Me Senior Brother

“…Senior brother?”

Jian Wushuang was stunned.

An unbelievable and shocking conjecture gradually emerged in his mind.

From the beginning to the end, Jian Wushuang received guidance, protection, and inheritance from many almighty seniors. However, there was only one person whom Jian Wushuang had formally acknowledged as his Master, and that was Xuan Yi!

Since the Palace Master of the Divine Life Palace had said so, there was only one possibility, and that was… this guy was also a disciple of Xuan Yi!

“That’s right.” The skinny figure nodded and slowly turned around.

An old face appeared in front of Jian Wushuang.

His hair was gray, his eyes were cloudy, and the skin on his cheeks was sunken and wrinkled. He was full of the withered aura of a hero in his twilight years.

“Jian Wushuang, when you stepped into the Land of Gods, I sensed your aura. It’s an aura that has surpassed the level of a perfect life level. Only one person can create such an aura, and that’s our Master.”

The Palace Master of the Divine Life Palace said in a flat tone without any fluctuations.

Jian Wushuang’s expression was complicated, but he did not speak.

The Palace Master of the Divine Life Palace did not seem to want to hear Jian Wushuang’s answer. Instead, he continued to speak calmly, “I, Dao Yan, have had many identities in my life, such as the Palace Master of the Divine Life Palace and the first Supreme. But the one identity that I can’t let go of the most is being his disciple.”

Jian Wushuang was stunned.

After a long while, Jian Wushuang thought for a while and asked softly, “The Palace Master… Senior Brother Dao Yan, can you tell me about Master?”

This was what Jian Wushuang wanted to know the most.

“Master?”

The Palace Master of the Divine Life Palace, Supreme Dao Yan, raised his head upon hearing this. His gaze seemed to penetrate the 99 restrictions and look at an extremely distant place. After a long silence, he said, “Our Master is a person who can’t be calculated with common sense. Not to mention you don’t know his situation, even I, who has cultivated to this level and stands at the peak of the universe, still can’t see through Master.”

“I don’t know much about Master, but I can tell you everything.”

“First of all, I was born at the beginning of the universe, when chaos was just created. It was also at that time that I met my Master.”

“Back then, I was just an ignorant green lotus in the chaos. It was Master who awakened my consciousness at dawn and gave me the root of wisdom. That was why I could wake up from the chaos and cultivate all the way.”

“Later on, it was Master who modified my body and gave me a Special Life Form that surpassed the perfect life level. It was only then that I reached my current level and stood at the peak of the universe.”

“To be honest, the Divine Life Palace was created under my Master’s order. It was all thanks to my Master that the Divine Life Palace was born.”

“100,000 chaos cycles ago, someone from the Void Universe entered the Divine Power Universe through a void rift. A catastrophic war ensued, and Master disappeared. It was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.”

“All these years, I’ve never stopped searching for Master, from the Divine Power Universe to the Void Universe.”

“Although I didn’t find Master, it’s not like I didn’t gain anything.”

“Tens of thousands of chaos cycles ago, when I first stepped into the Void Universe, I met a Six Scar Void Master on the verge of death. I could sense Master’s aura on him.”

“Later, I learned from him that this person is also Master’s disciple.”

“However, before I could ask more questions, this person died, and his Dao disappeared. I was also chased by the most powerful beings in this universe and had no choice but to retreat.”

“Before this person died, he told me one thing, and that is to stop looking for traces of Master. He said… we were created by Master, and we will die for Master in the future. We are just pawns that Master has laid down.”

The Palace Master of the Divine Life Palace finished his words indifferently.

Jian Wushuang fell into silence.

This was not the first time he had heard of the story of his Master being the chess player and them being the chess pieces.

Back at the Universe Great Clan Gathering, Cosmos Gods had said something similar to him.

Xuan Yi was playing a big game of chess.

The universe was the chess board, and all living beings were the chess pieces. Jian Wushuang and the other disciples of Xuan Yi were just a part of the chess game, a chess piece.

“Jian Wushuang, do you know? When I see you, I feel like I’m seeing someone,” the Palace Master of the Divine Life Palace, Supreme Dao Yan, said.

“Me? Who?” Jian Wushuang raised his eyebrows and asked.

“The old me,” Supreme Dao Yan said, shaking his head.

Jian Wushuang could not help but be stunned. Then, he sighed.

That was right. He was like Supreme Dao Yan, who had been given an opportunity by Xuan Yi and then embarked on the path to find his Master.

“Senior Brother Dao Yan, I’ll take you out of here first,” Jian Wushuang gathered his thoughts and said.

With a flip of his right hand, the Heaven-Suppressing Monument appeared in his hand.

Although the Palace Master of the Divine Life Palace had disappeared for tens of thousands of chaos cycles, his legend still existed in the universe.

It was rumored that during the war of the catastrophe, before the rise of the universe gods, it was the Palace Master of the Divine Life Palace, Supreme Dao Yan, who led all the races in the universe to resist the erosion of the Void Universe.

It was precisely because of his existence that the battle had dragged on until the rise of Cosmos Gods. After that, they turned the tide and chased out the people from the Void Universe.

It could be said that a Supreme Dao Yan was a person who was only inferior to Cosmos God in the Divine Power Universe!

Now that the second catastrophe was coming, if Supreme Dao Yan could return at this time, it would definitely strengthen the Divine Power Universe in an epic way!

In addition, Supreme Dao Yan was his Senior Brother and the Palace Master of the Divine Life Palace!

How could Jian Wushuang bear to let this old man, who had already lost his brilliance and was on the verge of death, continue to stay alone in the Land of Gods?

“I can’t go out.” However, Supreme Dao Yan shook his head and said, “Jian Wushuang, I’m the one who is supporting all these 99 restrictions. Although they can resist the experts of the Void Universe and prevent them from entering, these restrictions have also cut off my way out.”

“Once I leave this place, these 99 restrictions will instantly collapse. Once these 99 restrictions collapse, the guy who has been watching me in the universe will instantly attack and kill me.”

“At that time, not only will I die, but you will also die because of me. We will not be able to leave this place.”

“That guy?” Jian Wushuang was stunned.

“That’s right.” Supreme Dao Yan nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled into a faint sneer. He raised his head and looked at the boundless void and said, “That guy fought with me back then. I could only seal myself in this three-inch area. That guy was also seriously injured and has been recuperating from his injuries.”

...

“Based on the time, that fellow should have fully recovered by now. I can sense that a pair of eyes have been watching me for nearly 1,000 chaos cycles. It must be that fellow.”

“If I want to go out, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until the day you can truly defeat the Void Universe, and launch a counter-attack.”
