5799 Weiss

The disciple was dead, yet he continued to smile.

“Are you a god? Have you existed since ancient times?” Jian Wushuang continued to inquire. The concept of gods was something he had never truly understood.

In the mortal world, there were gods, but when it truly came down to it, he found that gods weren’t all that remarkable.

They could also be killed.

Now, hearing someone claim to be a god once again, he was truly perplexed.

Weiss cleared his throat twice, then spoke, “Are you referring to the three from the upstream spacetime?”

Ancient beings.

In fact, it was just a term Jian Wushuang used.

For those three truly peak experts, there wasn’t a single complete name.

They were called many things.

“Yes, those three super strong individuals, their strength should be similar to the Celestial Maiden from back then!” Jian Wushuang exclaimed excitedly.

If that were true, then Weiss’s strength would be difficult to gauge.

To be able to produce someone like the Celestial Maiden.

“You’re mistaken. The three you mentioned are also in the Tribulation Realm, just like the Celestial Maiden. These people have not yet broken free from their constraints, they cannot be considered gods. I am the true god of the entire river of time and space!” Weiss finished speaking, his gaze becoming somewhat sharp.

Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but take a half step back.

In that moment, he was reminded of the gaze he had seen in the Starry Sky.

Too powerful.

It left one breathless.

The concept of gods, he now understood.

Weiss claimed that only he was a god, the rest were still in the Tribulation Realm.

The Celestial Maiden from before was probably also in the Ninth Tribulation.

Beyond the Ninth Tribulation, there were even stronger beings.

They just didn’t exist in the river of time and space.

“Since you’re the only god, why are you in this small tower?” Jian Wushuang voiced his confusion.

Someone so powerful, why would they be trapped in a small tower?

And still take disciples as tools.

This didn’t make sense.

“The Nine Tribulations Tower is not as simple as you think, I am here on someone else’s behalf, this is something I cannot tell you!” Weiss’s reply made Jian Wushuang think of Teacher Xuan Yi.

So he asked, “On someone else’s behalf, is it an old man named Xuan Yi?”

Weiss simply shook his head without answering.

Jian Wushuang was somewhat speechless.

The person he was dealing with was a god.

And yet, he knew nothing.

It seemed that Jian Wushuang had no connection with Teacher Xuan Yi.

But how could the resonance from the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard be explained?

According to Weiss, the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard didn’t belong to spacetime; it was a treasure from the Starry Sky.

The Nine Tribulations Tower was also a treasure from the Starry Sky. Though they were not. on the same level, they came from the same place. Hence, there was some resonance, ultimately unlocking the Nine Tribulations Tower.

Jian Wushuang wasn’t quite satisfied with this explanation.

He wasn’t interested in Weiss.

To be precise, Weiss sounded too arrogant.

He was determined to tread the path of the strong.

Yet, he hadn’t forgotten his original intention.

Walking through spacetime, searching for Teacher Xuan Yi, he also sought his own path. Not the guidance of gods.

Seeing Jian Wushuang silent, Weiss began to speak about the Nine Tribulations Tower.

“Jian Wushuang, from now on, you are my disciple. However, you cannot reveal my identity, and I won’t care about your life or death. But I will teach you the most powerful secret technique in this spacetime. Your repayment to me will be becoming the strongest in this spacetime!” Weiss stated his purpose.

Jian Wushuang wasn’t surprised by this!

To become the strongest in this spacetime.

It couldn’t be said that the other party was arrogant; he had just witnessed their strength.

“To be honest, I’m not interested,” Jian Wushuang shook his head.

He had already created the Starry Sky Chronicles, and when he reached the Universe Master level, he could create even more powerful ancient variations.

He didn’t lack powerful secret techniques at all.

He still had suspicions about the other’s identity.

He didn’t want to create more karmic ties with people.

When one ventures out, they must repay their debts. Becoming the number one in spacetime wasn’t that easy.

If the other party was just a true spirit, he might be tempted because he couldn’t be bound.

But the other was a god he couldn’t fathom,

Ilow could they cooperate?

He wasn’t confident!

Weiss seemed to have seen through Jian Wushuang.

He lightly tapped the staff on the ground, and the scene around them instantly changed.

“Jian Wushuang, how much do you understand about spacetime?” Weiss asked, lifting his

hand to trace an arc.

That was Jian Wushuang’s lifeline.

Simultaneously, it was Jian Wushuang’s timeline.

“You came from the mortal world, traveled through many material realms, and then entered

a peculiar universe. Let me see what you’ve experienced,” Weiss said.

The timeline that even the true spirits of Qishen Temple couldn’t peek into appeared exceptionally simple in Weiss’s eyes.

Jian Wushuang was also startled.

Looking up, he saw the entirety of his life from weakness to strength.

Weiss glanced over Jian Wushuang’s involvement with the Divine Power Universe and nodded, saying, “No wonder your strength is so formidable. It’s interesting. It seems someone has tampered with your cultivation path. They’ve touched something in this spacetime they shouldn’t have. Unfortunately, I can’t find him, otherwise, he would be

punished!”

“Alter time?” Jian Wushuang was taken aback.

Then he thought of his future self.

His future self had failed in achieving the Dao Merge.

He had originally thought that he had succeeded in achieving Dao Merge solely by his strength, but he didn’t expect someone to change his timeline.

And that person was not in this time.

“It couldn’t be Teacher Xuan Yi!” He had already formed an answer deep in his heart, but he

was somewhat unwilling to believe it.

And then there was Weiss’s remark.

He dared to mention punishment.

That meant he was on the same level as Teacher Xuan Yi.

“Heavens!”

Weiss chuckled as he stared at Jian Wushuang. “You don’t need to be surprised. Time flows

from the Starry Sky; nothing is impossible. Your timeline is in my hands now, and no one

can change it!”

“Who is the one trying to change it? Why does this time not exist?” Jian Wushuang seized the opportunity to pry into the secrets surrounding him.

“Ile is nothing. In the current timeline, he simply doesn’t exist. Perhaps, as he said, you will

meet him in the future!”

Meet in the future!

When will that be? Jian Wushuang fell silent, a hint of lamentation echoing in his heart. His current goal was to slay Mic Sheng, and his future goal was to find Teacher Xuan Yi.

But what about beyond that?

In his future, perhaps he would be very lonely!

Losing the meaning of cultivation.

How sad! Weiss approached him at this moment, gently patting Jian Wushuang’s shoulder and saying, “You don’t need to be sad. The road ahead is long. The world you see is merely outlined. There’s no need to cling to it!”

“No, it’s a world of flesh and blood. You high and mighty gods simply don’t understand!” Jian

Wushuang shook his head.

From the mundane mortal world to the present, he had experienced too much. Even if his Dao Heart was complete, he still held a shred of respect for the secular world.

Gods!

They couldn’t understand.

Because gods didn’t come from weakness.

As soon as the other spoke, Jian Wushuang guessed.

The Nine Tribulations Tower!

“It seems I’m about to add another stroke to my story!”

Strength wasn’t the goal. The purpose was the process of pursuing strength. That was the meaning of existence!
