After his return to the Yin-Yang Perpetual World alongside his new disciple Langyu and the unseen Nineorigin, he immediately sent Nineorigin ahead to inform the residents of this world of the new variable.

Meanwhile, Heifeng Jiansui and Langyu took a calming walk through the apocalyptic scenery. The landmass of the Perpetual World had just formed and it was mostly barren rock and ore. Stone circles and mystic runes were scattered everywhere.

“In this era, you are the first disciple I have taken. Counting my disciples who survived the previous era, you are the fourth…” Heifeng Jiansui said this to Langyu with a serious tone.

“Are we going to meet my senior brothers and sisters here?” Langyu had a curious expression.

“Yes. Your second and third senior apprentice sisters, Fu Ying and Fu Li are training here. As for your first senior brother Shui Yan, he has passed on to be reincarnated.” Heifeng Jiansui could see a hint of ill-intent form when he mentioned the twins, while Shui Yan’s name generated intrigue.

He had already formed a reason why she had such a reaction. But he would have to observe her more to further his hypothesis.

“As you are now, you only have your innate understanding of sword arts and two supreme sword cultivation arts. You don’t have any cultivation arts, movement arts or body tempering arts. Forget about that, I am quite sure you haven’t even trained in foundation sword techniques.” At Heifeng Jiansui’s statement, Langyu nodded.

“Well then, how would you like to train here under Fu Ying and Fu Li? They are Immortal Kings, teaching you sword foundations will be child’s play for them. Meanwhile, I can search appropriate cultivation arts for you in that time.” Hearing Heifeng Jiansui’s decision, Langyu suppressed her unwillingness and firmly nodded.

Heifeng Jiansui liked her ability to suppress her dislike and follow instructions. She clearly knew that he had accepted her as a disciple due to her potential in sword cultivation and she didn’t have any ability to influence his decisions.

“Wait a moment. Let me draw some of your blood so that I can modify the techniques to be more suitable for you. Since your bloodline is at the apex, I will have to draw it out painfully. Prepare yourself.” Nodding, the girl took some deep breaths and held her hand out.

Heifeng Jiansui sealed some of her acupoints to numb her before slashing her forehead, dantian and heart. Controlling the blood that gushed out of her, he used his understanding of Sword Dao to obtain the complete inheritance of the three Supreme Sword bloodlines. After he completely obtained it, he sealed her wounds and offered her a pill.

Chewing the pill, Langyu was in a faint state of disbelief as she went over the lightning like actions of the man before her. It didn’t hurt, but he had seen a glimpse of his true capabilities. He could easily gut her like a fish…

“Well, it is time to go. Hold my hand.” The void opened up before them and a gate formed, courtesy of the Supreme Couple. Holding his disciple’s hand, he walked inside to meet the twins.

“Fu Ying and Fu Li… these are my two disciples. Here, this is your newest junior sister, Langyu.” Saying this, Heifeng Jiansui pushed the girl beside him at the twins.

“Nice to meet you, please take care of me.” Keeping her face down, the junior sister bowed to the senior sisters. That said, Heifeng Jiansui could imagine the malice for the sisters on her face.

“Anyway, Shui Yan has already reincarnated to the Wind Supreme World and you two have reached the apex. So I have only her to teach. But before I begin, I would like you two to impart your knowledge of the foundation sword arts, movement and breath to her. In this apocalyptic environment, her bloodline will quickly strengthen her after limit training.” At Heifeng Jiansui’s request, the two nodded.

“We will train her foundation to the utmost. Sect Master, we will take good care of our junior sister.” The twins nodded to him.

“M-master, what does limit training mean?” Langyu clearly had some idea of limit training and was discomfited by it.

“Limit training means training your body to the limits! In this apocalyptic world with the World Energy out of control, various rare phenomena suitable for building a good foundation in a few days exist. Strange gravitational spaces, waterfalls, lava rivers, strange mines and iron trees… All of them are capable of accelerating your development. The twins know this world well, so they will guide you to quickly temper your foundation!” Langyu paled at the torture she would receive, but finally steeled her will and nodded.

“Well, it won’t begin today and you are free for now. Langyu, how about you wander around for a while? I have something to talk with your senior sisters.” Hearing this, she nodded.

The two twins and Heifeng Jiansui called their flying swords and shot off together.

Heifeng Jiansui, the Fu sisters, the Supreme Couple and Nineorigin sat together as they discussed. Currently, heading this discussion was Heifeng Jiansui who was explaining his observation of Langyu.

“…So she definitely isn’t an Outsider, you say? What is she then?” After hearing out Heifeng Jiansui’s explanations, Nineorigin asked the question everyone wished to ask to him.

“From my observations of her, I have concluded… She can only be a time traveler who has experienced the future before returning to this point of time. She technically is an Outsider, but practically…” Hearing the hypothesis that Heifeng Jiansui had formulated, everyone nodded.

“Anyway, she considers you two as enemies. Maybe you exterminated her clan or something in the hypothetical future that we diverged from. Maybe she just hates your faces.” The twins pouted at Heifeng Jiansui’s smirk.

They certainly didn’t care about the grudge a mortal girl held against them. Currently, they two were the powerful figures of this era, something a mortal couldn’t dream of touching!

“Anyway during the training, try and find out the reason behind the hatred. I still plan on training her as a personal disciple, so I would like it if you buried the hatchet.” Heifeng Jiansui cautioned his disciples.

“Since she is from the future, we can’t check her memories in fear of accidentally distorting temporal laws. And anyway, I don’t believe she has hidden anything worth tearing into her mind.” Everyone knew that Heifeng Jiansui’s second sentence was a lie. She was heavily involved with his disciples, having grudges with the twins and holding interest in Shui Yan!

“Anyway Sword Saint, you still possess only our two World Tree Sprouts? Your disciples are Immortal Kings, can’t they bear parting with some portion of their laws?” Extreme Yin Empress said this to diverge the subject away from Langyu.

But hearing this, the twins blushed. “Sect Master, we two forgot! Seriously, we specialize in Wood and Earth Laws and haven’t given you a World Tree Sprout yet, isn’t this a travesty?”

Immediately, two great World Trees and a shadow of a third appeared behind the twins. Wood, Earth and Metal! Due to their understanding of the Yin-Yang Coexistence Laws, they could condense the third tree of Metal in addition to their Wood and Earth trees!

Three small sprouts separated from the trees and entered Heifeng Jiansui’s body. Fire, Water, Wood, Earth and Metal… a Five Phase Formation formed within Heifeng Jiansui’s dantian!

“Heh, what are you so excited out about a mere Five Phase Formation?” As always, Nineorigin stomped on his excitement.

“Yeah, a Nine Origins True Formation would be better… Just need Wind, Thunder, Darkness and Light sprouts to set it up… Dear master, please help me obtain them.” Unexpectedly, Nineorigin didn’t pipe down at his words.

“Yeah, my dear helpless disciple needs protection…  I’ll take care of things, you’ll definitely get those sprouts before your trial begins.” Hearing her words, Heifeng Jiansui assumed that she was going to bully some Immortal Kings into giving up sprouts. Hoping she wouldn’t mistreat them too much, he left the issue aside.

“We should leave then. You two, I’ll trust you to train up your junior sister. Train the Clear Jade Sword Codex and build up your comprehension. If you need resources, ask the Supreme Couple.” Heifeng Jiansui had naturally given the Clear Jade Sword Codex to the twins, only withholding the Chaos Sovereign layer. After they broke through to Perpetual Emperor, he would naturally hand over the layers to them.

Nineorigin opened up a spatial gate and waited for Heifeng Jiansui to step in. After turning back for a last wave, he entered it.
