Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6291: Treasure Light Temple With Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragons



This marked the beginning of the cultivation world in the Eastern Land.

The Princess Tomb!

The consort built an enormous Princess Tomb.

He also recruited many disciples, training a group of powerful cultivators for the Princess Tomb.

He silently guarded the Princess Tomb for years.

Now, it had become the top cultivation power in the Eastern Land.

Jian Wushuang listened intently, reminded of Baoguang Temple.

One temple, one tomb.

However, he was more curious about what happened to the consort later on!

Zhu Quan sighed with emotion and lamented, "This brings us to the method, the Dao inheritance that the consort found in the Northern Icefields. He left it for the entire Eastern Land, leading to today's Tang Dynasty. After passing on the Dao, he renounced the secular world and became a monk at Baoguang Temple!"

"Which true immortal was enshrined at Baoguang Temple?"

This reminded Jian Wushuang of what Xiang Yang said about the true immortal enshrined at Baoguang Temple.

Furthermore, that temple was the first cultivation power in the Eastern Land, marking the origin of its cultivation world.

He initially thought that the consort might be the true immortal of Baoguang Temple.

But unexpectedly, it was someone else.

"The true immortal of Baoguang Temple has nothing to do with this matter, and that senior is not the head monk!" Zhu Quan shook his head and sighed lightly, "I only know that the consort became a monk at Baoguang Temple, but his story gradually faded away, and now no one knows if he is still at Baoguang Temple!"

After hearing the origin and history of the rise and fall of the cultivation world in the Eastern Land, Jian Wushuang didn't feel the reverence that Zhu Quan had for it.

Instead, he pondered some of the causal relationships within.

The consort went to the Northern Icefields because the princess was ill, transforming from an ordinary person to a Nascent Soul cultivator?

A month after he returned, the princess passed away.

Then he built the Princess Tomb out of love.

Later, he became a monk!

There were likely more hidden truths in this story.

He couldn't believe that an ordinary person could rely on the power of love to become such a figure.

Moreover, to renounce everything at the peak of his power to live as an ordinary person.

If there really were such a person, he would genuinely want to meet him.

Unknowingly, he had stayed at the First Pavilion for an entire day.

Usually, the third floor was a place where cultivators exchanged ideas, with tea served, and no one cared about the passage of time.

However, Jian Wushuang had just arrived, and there were two people waiting for him, so he got up and bid farewell to Zhu Quan.

When he left, he also conveniently asked Zhu Quan to inquire about someone's whereabouts.

He had already figured out almost everything he wanted to know.

Now, it was up to them to seize their opportunities.

At present, there was such an opportunity.

When he returned to the inn, Xiang Yang and Jiang Shang had both come back.

They each spoke about the events they encountered and the information they gathered. However, neither of them had as detailed information as Jian Wushuang.

When Jian Wushuang spoke of the four major cultivation realms and some of the hidden matters of the Eastern Land, they both showed expressions of surprise.

Jiang Shang was amazed by the wonders of the cultivation world, while Xiang Yang was a bit disappointed, feeling that this world was too small.

This was quite normal. After all, Jiang Shang was an ordinary person; even though he had become a cultivator, he knew too little and didn't have the grand perspective that Xiang Yang

did.

In the past, Xiang Yang had been a prodigy with a family of Universe Gods.

He had a clear understanding of the entire layout of the Realm God Continent.

Such a material world could hardly catch his eye now.

Jian Wushuang, on the other hand, was indifferent. He knew that the road had to be traveled

step by step.

Not everything could be accomplished in one leap.

The smaller this material world was, the safer it was for them.

Of course, now he and Xiang Yang were still pretending to be cultivators of the Tang Dynasty, but they were just secluded, indifferent to worldly matters.

"Oh, and there's one more thing I forgot to mention. It's about the incident three years ago when the Tang Emperor was attacked!" Jian Wushuang paused and then continued, "This might be my entry point into the cultivation world. Three years ago, the Tang Emperor was attacked by foreign tribes and almost lost his life. He fled the palace and later broke through to the Nascent Soul stage to kill the foreign tribes, reclaiming the throne!"

Xiang Yang listened with wide eyes and said in surprise, "Attacked by foreign tribes? Didn't the Princess Tomb and Baoguang Temple just stand by and watch?"

"The cultivators of the Princess Tomb don't interfere with the affairs of mortal dynasties, and Baoguang Temple doesn't like conflicts. They indeed just stood by and watched!" Jian Wushuang analyzed, "I suspect that the identity of the foreign tribe back then was not simple. There must be something suspicious, but there's too little information to see through it. However, one thing is clear: when the Tang Emperor was attacked, it was an imperial concubine who shielded him from a fatal blow, or else the Tang Emperor would have died long ago!"

Jiang Shang was taken aback and added, "I heard quite a bit about this when I was in the Jiang Kingdom. Back then, the Tang Dynasty underwent great changes. The Tang Emperor fled overseas, and a strong foreign tribe took over the palace for a month. Later, the Tang Emperor returned and killed the foreign tribes, but the imperial concubine didn't die, though she was severely injured and remained in the palace. The Tang Emperor even issued an imperial edict seeking help to heal the imperial concubine!"

Jian Wushuang also knew about the imperial edict but hadn't paid it much attention.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing Jiang Shang's explanation now, he became interested.

A mortal imperial concubine shielding the Tang Emperor from a fatal attack and surviving was already unbelievable. The key point was that when the Tang Emperor left, he didn't take this concubine with him.

Instead, she was imprisoned or perhaps carefully tended to by the foreign tribe's strongman as she lingered on the brink of death.

Later, when the Tang Emperor returned and killed the foreign tribes, he announced that the imperial concubine was alive and issued an imperial edict seeking famous doctors to treat her. The more Jian Wushuang thought about it, the more familiar it seemed.

Wasn't this the intelligence from the early Tang Dynasty?

Last time, it was to save a princess; this time, it was to save an imperial concubine.

After succeeding with the former, the Tang Dynasty rose to become the first dynasty in the

Eastern Land.

"Eastern Land?"

Jian Wushuang stood by the window, silently repeating "Eastern Land Tang Dynasty."

For a moment, he looked dazed.

"Eastern Land? Tang Dynasty?"

The Slaughter Dynasty!!!

It seemed familiar to him.

"Is it another coincidence?"

Jian Wushuang shook his head, no longer believing in coincidences.

The path of mortals seemed like re-cultivation, but it felt remarkably similar to the path he

once took to rise in the mortal world.

Even the names were the same.

He had once encountered an Eastern Land Tang Dynasty.

But he couldn't remember it clearly, only recalling endless slaughter there. Xiang Yang, seeing his weary expression, approached to console him, saying, "There's no need to be so anxious about integrating into the Eastern Land cultivation world. Let's just go

with the flow and explore those dangerous places and relics. Once we acquire treasures and become Nascent Soul cultivators, people will naturally come to recruit us, and it won't take

long to break through this world!"

"Hopefully so!" Jian Wushuang nodded silently, then turned to Jiang Shang and said calmly, "Don't go to Baoguang Temple alone. Call me when you go!"

Jiang Shang was surprised but agreed nonetheless.

The next morning.

The three of them left the inn again, as they could only rest inside due to the nighttime

curfew.

Since the foreign tribe's intrusion three years ago, Tai'an City's regulations had become

extremely strict.
