Legend of Swordsman

Ruler Kun Yu was a solitary expert who had never joined any faction before.

Over the years, he had been adventuring in the three battlefields in search of treasures and opportunities, and his strength had been constantly increasing.

There had been rumors that he had fought with the Northern Sea Palace's Sky Roc Ruler, but no one knew who had won.

And today, Ruler Kun Yu had passed the test at the foot of the mountain. It was obvious that he had won that battle back then.

After all, two years ago, Ruler Sky Roc had come to challenge the test at the foot of the mountain. Although he had fought with the black-clothed man for a very long time in the space of consciousness, he had still been unable to defeat the black-clothed man in the end, so he had not been able to pass the test at the foot of the mountain, and since Ruler Kun Yu had passed, it naturally meant that he was stronger than Ruler Sky Roc.

"You're still alright."

The black-robed man looked at Ruler Kun Yu with a faint smile. "You've clearly only fused four principles and are only a first level Ruler. However, your combat power is extremely strong and isn't the slightest bit inferior to a second level Ruler. In fact, even amongst the second level Primary Rulers, you are extremely strong. It seems that amongst the Rulers of this Star Field, your strength should be the strongest."

"Let's go up."

Ruler Kun Yu's face was as cold as an ice mountain.

Upon hearing the black-robed man's words, he nodded slightly, then began to walk up the stairs.

However, the black-robed man once more spoke to everyone present, "Although the standard of your Star Field's cultivators is indeed very low, for two of you to be able to pass through my hands during the opening of the Red Cloud World is already quite impressive."

Ruler Kun Yu's footsteps immediately came to a halt.

The experts present all turned to look at the black-robed man.

"Two people?"

"Aside from Ruler Kun Yu, there's someone else who passed the test at the foot of the mountain?"

"Who is that person?"

The sounds of discussion immediately rang out.

Ruler Kun Yu turned to look at the black-robed man as well. "The Principles Master?"

"Yes." The black-clothed man nodded.

He had just said that Ruler Kun Yu should be the strongest expert in the Star Field. If the same Ruler had passed the test at the foot of the mountain, the black-clothed man would not be so sure.

Naturally, it was the master of rules.

After all, the test of Heaven-Treading Mountain varied from person to person. Different levels of cultivation would challenge Heaven-Treading Mountain, and the gatekeepers would show different strengths.

For example, when Jian Wushuang came here to pass the test, the black-clothed man was only at the peak of the Primary Ruler realm.

However, if the Ruler came to pass his test, the battle strength he displayed would be at the peak of the Superior Ruler realm, or even the second level. Fortunately, the battle strength of the Kun Yu Ruler was extremely strong among the second level Primary Rulers, that was how he could pass the test.

Ruler Kun Yu did not stay any longer and continued to walk toward the mountainside.

However, the foot of the mountain was completely in an uproar.

Many cultivators were wildly discussing and guessing.

"Then who is the Principles Master who passed the test at the foot of the mountain before Ruler Kun Yu did?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Blood Sword Master, right?"

"Blood Sword Master?"

"Yes, it's very likely. Among the Principles Masters in this Star Field, the most powerful ones are Blood Sword Master and Blood Saber Emperor. If that Blood Saber Emperor goes all out, he can barely unleash the battle power of a Primary Ruler. Although he's very impressive, he's still far from Blood Sword Master. Blood Sword Master has the battle power of a top Ruler at the level of a Principles Master. With such battle power, it should be very easy for him to pass the test at the foot of the mountain."

"Yes, I think it's the Blood Sword Master. I don't think any other Principles Master could pass the test at the foot of the mountain. The Blood Saber Emperor came here a year ago and failed."

Most of the cultivators in the Star Field believed that the Principles Master who passed the test at the foot of Heaven-Treading Mountain before the Ruler of the Devil realm was Jian Wushuang.

This was normal. After all, Jian Wushuang had shown his true strength.

The Ruler of the Devil Realm also believed that he had the battle strength of a Superior Ruler.

It was unbelievable that a Principles Master had the battle strength of a Superior Ruler. It was so heaven-defying that the test at the foot of Heaven-Treading Mountain could not stop him.

Now, many cultivators in this Star Field were guessing whether Jian Wushuang had just passed the test at the foot of the mountain, or whether he had also passed the test at the mountainside and even reached the peak, he had gone to the Second Heaven?

Everyone was guessing. Some of them even tried to ask Jian Wushuang's friends.

For example, some masters asked Daoist Xuan God, Temporal Temple Master, and the others to find out the answer from them.

After all, this was not a trivial matter.

If Jian Wushuang had only passed the test at the foot of the mountain, it would not be a big deal.

Even if he passed the test at the mountainside, although it was amazing, it would not cause too much of a stir. However, if he really stepped on the peak of Heaven-Treading Mountain and went to the Second Heaven…that was something that no one in this Star Field had ever reached in the long years.

The First Heaven of the Red Cloud World contained endless Supreme Treasures, which was enough to drive many cultivators crazy. What was in the Second Heaven?

Almost all the cultivators in this Star Field were full of longing and desire for the Second Heaven, but they just could not go there.

It could be imagined that if the news of Jian Wushuang going to the Second Heaven was confirmed, it would set off a huge wave in this Star Field.

…

"Everyone, another Ruler came to see me. He also asked if the Heavenly Marquis had entered the Second Heaven of the Red Cloud World. According to our agreement, he passed the two tests at the foot of the Heaven-Treading Mountain and the mountainside, but he failed to pass the tests at the peak. Naturally, he could not enter the Second Heaven. Now, he has left the Red Cloud World and is on his way back to our Star Palace."

Daoist Xuan God exchanged messages with Jian Wushuang, Temporal Temple Master, Heaven-cleaving Alliance Master, and the Heaven Ancestor.

"Haha, another one. This must be the eighth Ruler who came to ask you, right?" Temporal Temple Master laughed loudly.

"Not only you, but also quite a few people came to ask you for information," Daoist Xuan God said with a smile.

Jian Wushuang had passed the three tests of Heaven-Treading Mountain and entered the Second Heaven of the Red Cloud World. Naturally, Daoist Xuan God, Temporal Temple Master, Heaven-cleaving Alliance Master, and the Heaven Ancestor knew about this, after all, they were on the same side as Jian Wushuang, so he had nothing to hide from them.

After hearing the news, even the four Rulers were excited for half a day.

At the same time, they also learned from Jian Wushuang that he had gained a lot of benefits in the Second Heaven. Even now, he was in the midst of an opportunity, but Jian Wushuang did not tell them what he had gained, they did not ask.

Because they had considered that some people would doubt whether Jian Wushuang had entered the Second Heaven, they had already agreed on the story.

They all said that Jian Wushuang had only passed the test at the foot of the mountain and the mountainside, but he had lost in the test at the peak.
