Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6002: Master Tongtong?

People still could kill each other.

So there were meat buns.

The stall owner carried two steaming bowls of white porridge and walked over with small steps. “Young master, your porridge is here, and the buns will be served to you immediately!”

After placing the white porridge down, he was somewhat curious why Jian Wushuang, alone, ordered two servings of white porridge.

Though curious, he didn’t dwell on it too much, instead, he turned to lift the steamer lid and fetched the buns.

Jian Wushuang casually picked up a pair of chopsticks. There were complimentary spicy pickles on the table, and he ate the porridge with the pickles.

It had been many years since he had done such a thing.

With just a sip, he felt warmth spreading throughout his body.

Leisurely sipping his porridge, he quietly awaited Tongtian Buddha’s passing.

In just a few breaths, counting the steps, Tongtian Buddha arrived.

“Tongtian!” Jian Wushuang set down his chopsticks, not turning his head, sitting upright at the table, his lips moving slightly as he muttered the name “Tongtian.”

In the bustling street, hardly anyone could hear.

Unless they were deeply cultivated practitioners, obviously, there were no such powerful individuals passing through so early in the morning.

Only Tongtian Buddha heard those two words.

It made his expression change, freezing him in place.

In the entire city, no movement escaped his mental perception.

Hearing someone utter his title, he immediately became nervous.

Turning his head to locate the source of the sound, he saw a stranger’s figure.

Even if it were a dog inside Water Moon Cave, he would recognize it.

The moment he saw the unfamiliar figure, he knew the newcomer was extraordinary.

Definitely not a life from within Water Moon Cave.

But he cultivated within Water Moon Cave, and Bai Divine Mountain had long sealed off this place.

With only him here, how could there be outsiders coming in?

Thinking of this, he felt a stir in his heart and stepped towards that figure.

Approaching the table, he still couldn’t believe his intuition.

“Have a seat!” Jian Wushuang didn’t turn his head, but pointed to the seat across from him, where a bowl of porridge was placed.

Tongtian Buddha walked hesitantly to the opposite side. After seeing the familiar face, he sat down abruptly.

Full of disbelief, he said, “Jian Wushuang!”

His eyelids trembled, unable to believe that the person before him was Jian Wushuang, who had entered Ancient Moon Spacetime with him.

“Drink the porridge first, it won’t taste good when it’s cold!” Jian Wushuang buried his head in his porridge, not saying much.

Tongtian Buddha suppressed his surprised expression, picked up a pair of chopsticks, but still didn’t start eating.

At this moment, the stall owner approached with a basket of buns and set it down, reminding them, “The ones on the left are vegetarian, the ones on the right are meat-filled. Enjoy your meal…”

But when he saw the monk sitting across from Jian Wushuang, he froze, “Master Tongtong?” Clearly, he recognized Tongtian Buddha.

The mere mention of the name “Tongtong” made Jian Wushuang burst into laughter, almost choking on his porridge.

He couldn’t believe that the revered Tongtian Buddha, surrounded by a halo of Buddha light, was referred to as “Tongtong” here.

“Virtuous!” Tongtian Buddha clasped his hands together towards the stall owner and silently uttered a phrase.

The stall owner, noticing the dark circles under Tongtian Buddha’s eyes, casually remarked, “Tongtong, are you off to Qingshui Tower again?”

This remark only fueled Jian Wushuang’s laughter.

Tongtian Buddha could only smile wryly, not denying it.

The stall owner, after giving a curious glance, ceased further inquiry, but couldn’t help but wonder why this Master Tongtong was so attached to the Qingshui Tower in that alley.

Jian Wushuang picked up a meat bun, took a bite, and with a mouth full, muttered, “Master Tongtong, looks like you’re having a good time lately, able to spend nights at places like Qingshui Tower!”

“Wushuang, how did you find me?” Tongtian Buddha, lacking any appetite, asked the question that had been on his mind.

Knowing that few people were aware of his whereabouts, even on Bai Divine Mountain.

Jian Wushuang’s ability to locate him surprised him.

Moreover, after so many years, he had planned to actively seek out others, never expecting Jian Wushuang to find him first.

For countless years, struggling in the mortal world, Tongtian Buddha had lost his aura of strength, devoid of the majesty of a Universe Master, instead appearing like an ordinary

person.

Even sitting at a roadside stall made him feel awkward.

Jian Wushuang finished his bun in a few bites, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, then slowly spoke, “Finding you wasn’t simple. Someone informed me of your whereabouts, so I came here!”

Before Tongtian Buddha could inquire further, Jian Wushuang pointed to the sky and continued, “It was someone who passed on your inheritance!”

“Ah, I see!” Tongtian Buddha blinked, realizing that was the only possibility.

Seeing Jian Wushuang’s restrained aura, he knew the other party must be stronger than him.

Among the top ten inheritors.

Even the first to fall, Fan Tianfeng, was stronger than the current Tongtian Buddha.

Back in Qishen Temple, Tongtian Buddha’s talent actually surpassed Zhen Wuyang and the

others’.

He was one of the top Inheritors in the entire Original Universe.

But now, he was just an ordinary Universe Master in the Third Tribulation realm.

Above Water Moon Cave, Tongtian Buddha’s Origin Source Universe was hidden.

Internally, it was desolate.

Apparently, he hadn’t cultivated his Origin Source for a long time.

His divine power was ordinary, only around 200,000.

Tongtian Buddha felt a bit embarrassed, awkwardly smiling, “These years, I’ve been trapped

in the trial of this inheritance, neglecting my cultivation!”

Seeing his calm demeanor, Jian Wushuang admired him a bit. Being surpassed by everyone

else but remaining so indifferent showed an exceptionally high level of character.

But what did that matter?

Could it put food on the table?

Could it defeat those in the Seventh Tribulation realm?

Could a Universe Master still be trapped by the mortal world?

Jian Wushuang sighed, “Do you need help?”

“No, I’m close to success!” Tongtian Buddha’s expression changed as he began to recount his

current achievements.

Almost the entire Water Moon Cave had been converted.

Countless people had been influenced by him.

This influence wasn’t due to strength but rather Tongtian Buddha’s words and deeds over the

years.

Since entering Water Moon Cave, he had completely abolished his own power, even traveling

the entire place on a donkey.

That donkey must have been exhausted from carrying him around.

Just the time spent traveling probably amounted to 100,000 eras.

But his efforts were not in vain. He was close to success.

Now, only three people in Water Moon Cave remained unaffected.

These three were still unconverted!

And they were all in this small city.

Tongtian Buddha had stayed in the small city for 10 years, all for these three people.

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang became interested.

With a mental flick, he sensed the locations and auras of the three individuals through

causality.

They were all ordinary people with low martial cultivation.

Calling them cultivators would be an insult.

According to the information in causality, these three hadn’t done anything particularly

egregious.

They were just petty criminals.
