Chapter 1 What to Talk About?

Chaos Space. During this time, the desolate Jiang Xuan often came in. After all, he was idle anyway, and it was impossible to immediately reach the standard of transcending tribulation. It was better to chat with versions of himself from other worlds in Chaos Space.

"Huh, what are you guys talking about?"

As soon as the desolate Jiang Xuan arrived, he saw three of himself chatting there, and they seemed to be having an interesting conversation.

"We're talking about how to show off!" Doupo Jiang Xuan said bluntly. If it were someone else, he might be more euphemistic, but since it was himself, it didn't matter.

"? What do you mean?" The desolate Jiang Xuan had several question marks above his head, inexplicably talking about how to show off. What were they planning to do?

"Aoshi's protagonist has been reborn, and he's planning to go and take a look." Zongwu Jiang Xuan said. Saying he was going to take a look was actually thinking about how to play a little game in front of the protagonist!

"Reborn? That was fast."

Among the Jiang Xuan in Chaos Space, very few were born in the era of the main storyline. Doupo Jiang Xuan was one, and Douluo Jiang Xuan was another. Even the haunted house Jiang Xuan was a bit off in terms of time.

As for the further ones, there were Dou Xiu Jiang Xuan and Perfect Jiang Xuan, who were separated by hundreds or thousands of years. Of course, the top one was still Emperor Domination Jiang Xuan, separated by hundreds of millions of years. However, Emperor Domination Jiang Xuan was also very unlucky now, his body had been reforged, although he shared his strength, if he couldn't get rid of the shackles of the Immortal Demon Cave Master, or his strength couldn't match or even surpass the Immortal Demon Cave Master before returning to the Immortal Demon Cave, then everything would be in vain.

"That's why I'm thinking about how to make an entrance. You know, I even thought about becoming one of the Nine Tribulations back then. I've been longing for this 'King Yama Chu' for a long time!" Aoshi Jiang Xuan said with a smile, but he was definitely not well-intentioned, otherwise he wouldn't be here to discuss how to show off in front of the protagonist.

"Then what are you going to do? Are you also planning to have a grand scene like the Universal Consecration of Saints?" The desolate Jiang Xuan said. In terms of grandeur, Confucian Jiang Xuan was the most impressive. The entire universe was very cooperative, directly holding a Universal Consecration of Saints. Without her taking action, the laws of heaven and earth personally came forward to show off for her.

"You're overthinking it." Aoshi Jiang Xuan rolled his eyes. The Nine Heavens Continent didn't have the phenomenon of Universal Consecration of Saints. If he really wanted that kind of grandeur, he would have to do it himself. He wasn't that bored.

"Forget it, being ordinary is the true way. I'll just stand in front of him and see if he and the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit dare to move!" Aoshi Jiang Xuan was entangled, it seemed a bit difficult to have a handsome entrance.

Moreover, Chu Yang and Xue Leihan of the Nine Heavens Throne were also friends. Although Jiang Xuan wasn't afraid of Xue Leihan, there were people standing behind Xue Leihan. There was no need to provoke such trouble.

"I always feel like you're not someone who would be ordinary..." Doupo Jiang Xuan said, he was the one who knew himself best. Saying he would be ordinary meant he would definitely cause other things to happen.

"Whatever, we'll just share memories when the time comes. It's been a long time since I've watched a series." Zongwu Jiang Xuan didn't care about this. He completely regarded the memories of other Jiang Xuan as holographic projection series. After all, he was basically invincible in that world.

"So what the hell are you guys discussing!" The desolate Jiang Xuan didn't mean to offend the haunted house Jiang Xuan, but these guys were too bored. After discussing for so long, this was the result?

...

"Nine Heavens World... Hmm, there are indeed traces of time being distorted. Can a sword really do this? Or did Xue Leihan and Jun Moxie interfere?"

Before entering Chaos Space, he had arrived outside the Nine Heavens Continent. At this moment, he could clearly feel that there was a trace of time distortion within it. Although it was very weak, only appearing on one living being, the traces of time were still difficult to escape his eyes.

Thinking of this, he took a step, teleporting through space, and directly entered the Nine Heavens Continent. The restrictions there couldn't limit him at all. Standing in the void of the Upper Three Heavens, Jiang Xuan grabbed casually, and the time within a radius of ten thousand miles began to change, accelerating or reversing.

If it were in another world, he naturally wouldn't be able to do this, but in this world, he could experience it, and it was extremely rare, giving him many inspirations for understanding time.

"Not bad, let's see where to go..."

Jiang Xuan swept his divine sense, and the entire Nine Heavens Continent was completely enveloped by him. Even though the Nine Heavens Continent was folded, and there were spatial barriers between the Upper, Middle, and Lower Three Heavens, they couldn't stop his divine sense.

"Although it's a folded world, this spatial method isn't too strong." He wasn't looking down on Xue Leihan, it was just that Xue Leihan was indeed difficult to compare with him in the way of time and space.

The Bodhi Taoist Ancestor's time and space mastery in the desolate world, the Kun Peng clan's precious technique in the perfect world, and the comprehension of the inner world in the martial extremity world, allowed him to have a far greater understanding of time and space than others.

"In the Lower Three Heavens, this point in time..."

Jiang Xuan swept his divine sense, then smiled, and at the same time took a step, completely ignoring the so-called restrictions of the Nine Heavens Passage, and directly appeared in the Lower Three Heavens.

When he reappeared, he was already inside the imperial city of the Iron Cloud Kingdom in the Lower Three Heavens.

At this moment, he was standing in Iron Cloud City, on a bustling street just two blocks away from the Crown Prince's mansion. In front of him stood a three-story building, and on the plaque facing the street, the three golden characters "Tian Bing Ge" (Heavenly Weapon Pavilion) shone brightly in the sun, directly turning half the street into gold.

On the left and right sides were couplets, made of silver plaques with gold paint as the background, a complete nouveau riche look.

Especially the two couplets, which made people feel a full sense of money:

Sharpening iron like mud is not a dream, let you open your eyes!

Magical weapons are available here, come quickly if you want them!

Plus a horizontal scroll: No waiting!

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the sign. This Sword Master Chu was really unscrupulous in order to attract attention.

Just as Jiang Xuan was looking at the sign, a young man also came out of the store, with a cold face, like an emotionless assassin, but with a hint of pure swordsman's sharpness. Perhaps one day, he could truly embark on the path of the sword and become the purest swordsman.

"You want to buy something?" The young man was holding a sword, and didn't seem to want to entertain anyone.

Hearing the young man's words, Jiang Xuan was thoughtful, and after a moment he looked up and smiled: "That depends on whether your weapons meet my expectations."

"Please come in!"

Gu Duxing frowned. He couldn't see through Jiang Xuan. The person in front of him seemed to be an ordinary person, and he had never seen him before, but he always felt a bit out of place, completely unfathomable.

It was precisely because of this that he opened the way and welcomed Jiang Xuan in, then put down the sword in his hand, took a precious sword hanging on the wall, and handed it to Jiang Xuan.

"Please!"

He was still cold, but he was extremely sincere towards the sword. Even the precious sword for sale was held with both hands. This was a swordsman's respect for the sword.

Jiang Xuan smiled and took it. If it was an ordinary weapon, this sword could be considered a sharp weapon, capable of blowing hair and cutting iron.

But it was ultimately just an ordinary weapon, and one that had lost its potential for growth. The essence in the material had been erased. Although it was extremely sharp, in the eyes of any discerning pure swordsman, it wasn't worth a penny.

"This sword isn't worth a penny, disappointing." Jiang Xuan shook his head.

However, his words made Gu Duxing's expression turn cold: "You haven't even drawn this sword, why do you say that!"

Jiang Xuan looked at the youth's persistence and anger. For him, this was a divine weapon. Although he felt that something was missing, its value was undeniable.

The person in front of him hadn't even drawn the sword, yet he asserted that it wasn't worth a penny. How could he accept that.

Jiang Xuan smiled, then glanced at the black sword that Gu Duxing had been holding, and said, "That one is worth something."

Gu Duxing frowned even deeper, not understanding what Jiang Xuan meant. His own Black Dragon Sword was indeed good, but compared to this sword, it was insufficient. If the two swords collided, his sword would definitely be damaged.

Jiang Xuan looked at him and smiled: "Don't understand? Ask your sword."

Sincerity to the sword is the only way to reach the extreme of the sword. Looking at the myriad realms, those who can truly reach the peak of the sword are all like this. The person in front of him is also a natural swordsman.

Although Jiang Xuan wasn't a pure swordsman, he was proficient in swordsmanship and had some understanding of the way of the sword. He was more than capable of guiding the current Gu Duxing. Of course, his purpose in guiding Gu Duxing wouldn't be simple.

Gu Duxing was thoughtful, looking at his Black Dragon Sword, and muttered: "Ask my sword..."

He remembered the first time he got the precious sword from the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion, he felt that those precious swords were missing something, and now that Jiang Xuan reminded him, that feeling became even stronger.

"It's missing a soul."

Gu Duxing spoke, yes, this sword was a divine weapon, but it lacked a sword soul. It was just a sharp weapon, unable to grow.

Jiang Xuan nodded. Gu Duxing was indeed a natural swordsman. Even though he hadn't truly set foot on the path of the sword, his keenness to the sword was incomparable to ordinary people. With just a hint, he grasped the key point.

Then, Jiang Xuan gently stroked the sword's body, as if talking to himself, and slowly said: "A sword may not be sharp, but it cannot be without a sword soul. What value is there in a sword that has lost its sword soul?"

Gu Duxing looked at Jiang Xuan's actions, his heart filled with thoughts. After a long time, he spoke again: "Thank you for your guidance."

Jiang Xuan didn't speak, and put down the sword that was known as a divine object: "Your sword is not bad..."

"This sword is not for sale!"

Before Jiang Xuan could finish speaking, Gu Duxing immediately said. This sword was very important to him, he would never sell it.

Jiang Xuan was speechless. When did he say he wanted to buy this sword? This kind of ordinary weapon couldn't enter his eyes at all. He had obtained countless divine weapons in the Nine Heavens Throne, so how could he still care about an ordinary weapon. What's more, he didn't follow the way of the sword.

"You're overthinking it, I'm not interested in your sword." Jiang Xuan said, "Your sword is good, but you are not yet qualified to wield it..."

Gu Duxing's hands holding the Black Dragon Sword trembled. He didn't know why the person in front of him said this, but the feeling Jiang Xuan gave him suddenly changed, becoming completely unpredictable, as if he was facing an endless ocean, never reaching the end.

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Xuan said with a hint of a smile, and slowly said: "Why do you wield the sword?"

Gu Duxing's heart trembled. Why wield the sword? To rescue the one he loved, to prove himself, or...
