Jian Nantian took out a jug of wine and handed it to Jian Wushuang .
Jian Wushuang accepted the jug and took a huge swig of it without hesitation . Then, he started asking his father what had happened to him in the past 2,000 years .
“Father, are you really the Samsara Temple Master’s personal disciple?” he asked curiously .
“Yes . ”
Jian Nantian smiled as he continued, “1,000 years ago, Master began paying attention to me after I made great breakthrough within a short time . When I became the Rank Five Reincarnator, he took me in as his personal disciple . Since then, he had patiently instructed me and even sent me to a Secret Land at great cost . That’s how I have made such rapid progress in such a short period . ”
“I see . ” Jian Wushuang raised an eyebrow .
“I intended to go to the Void Continent to seek you after freeing your mother but I didn’t expect you to find me first,” Jian Nantian said with a smile .
In terms of the speed of growth, Jian Wushuang was much faster than him .
He was well aware of this .
Owing to his experience, he was more powerful than his son now . He had narrowly escaped death many times during the tournaments in the Samsara Temple . After becoming the Samsara Temple Master’s personal disciple, he had received his Master’s guidance on cultivation and lots of useful resources . Yet, his son had improved his strength on his own .

Most importantly, he had been to the Secret Land .
He had stayed in the Secret Land for 1,000 years, which was equivalent to him spending 100,000 years on his cultivation .
That was the reason behind his strong power and profound swordsmanship .
What about Jian Wushuang?
He had traveled in the Void Continent alone and gradually enhanced his strength . In the span of over 2,000 years, he grew from a little lad from the Ancient World into a well-known expert in the Green Fire World . His growth speed was much more amazing compared to his father .
“Jian Wushuang, your father who possesses the constitution of Sword Spirit, had great potential in cultivation . However…” Gu King’s regretful voice resounded in Jian Wushuang’s mind .
“Go on!” Jian Wushuang said . “What’s the constitution of Sword Spirit?”
“The constitution of Sword Spirit is a rare constitution,” Gu King replied . “You know that magic weapons have spirits . ”
“Of course . ” Jian Wushuang responded with a little nod .
He had learned that magic weapons possessed spirits, and that the higher the magic weapon ranked, the stronger its spirit was .

“Magic weapons all have spirits, and some high-level ones even have their own consciousness,” Gu King explained . “When magic weapons with consciousnesses realize that they’re about to be destroyed, their intelligence will escape . Most of their intelligence will vanish while some will enter other magic weapons . ”
“The last case is the rarest one . The intelligence of the high-level magic weapon will enter a person’s body and integrate with his flesh and consciousness . That’s how the constitution of spirit comes to be . ”
“Your father belongs to the last case and thus, boasts the constitution of Sword Spirit . The intelligence of a magic sword must have combined with your father’s body . ”
Jian Wushuang looked amazed .
“Father owns the constitution of Sword Spirit because his body and a magic sword’s intelligence have combined?”
Gu King then continued, “The constitution of Sword Spirit is rare in the Eternal Chaotic World . Talent and potential in Sword Principle come instinctively to people with such constitution . You can even go as far as to say they’re born to be a sword itself . ”
“They can easily fathom Sword Principles and are real Sword Principle geniuses . ”
“The Sword Spirit that entered your father’s body is a high-level spirit and your father was meant to make remarkable achievements . His potential was promising, though not as excellent as yours . Unfortunately, his foundation was injured when he was young, which greatly weakened his potential,” Gu King said, shaking his head .
Jian Wushuang’s face darkened with disappointment .
It occurred to him that his father had taken the Reversal Red Scorching Elixir to recover his strength at a critical moment in the Ancient World back then . The side-effect of the elixir was that his potential for cultivation would be limited and the impact of it was great on Jian Nantian .

Besides, Jian Wushuang also knew that Jiu Xiu had extracted one of his father’s Sword Souls .
One’s Sword Soul was the origin and foundation of his Sword Principle .
The first Sword Soul which Jian Nantian had awakened was crucial to him but it was stolen by Jiu Xiu . It was a great blow to him .
The two consecutive injuries had greatly impaired Jian Nantian’s potential in cultivation .
Even so, Jian Nantian still managed to acquire such an incredible power within a short time . Obviously, he owed his impressive growth speed to his powerful Sword Spirit and his impressive capability .
“Gu King, is there any way to regain his lost potential?” Jian Wushuang asked .
“No . ” Gu King shook his head . “His foundation has been damaged . You know how important the foundation is . Your flawless foundation contributes to your unlimited potential for cultivation . But your father… The potential for cultivating cannot be rehabilitated . Even if his potential has been greatly weakened, he with the constitution of Sword Spirit is enough to impress . ”
“I can tell you with certainty that your father is destined to reach the level of Samsara Temple Master and Void Temple Master . Moreover, he’d be superior to his peers of the same level . However, that’s all he could do . It’s unrealistic for him to go beyond that . ”
“I see . ” Jian Wushuang nodded, feeling disappointed .
Jian Nantian’s foundation had been hurt when he was in the Ancient World . There was no way of recovering it .
He was doomed not to be able to stand at the summit of the Eternal Chaotic World . However, he could easily reach the top of the Green Fire World .
Suddenly, Jin Nantian asked him, “Shuang’er, do you know why I chose to break into the Heaven-ceasing Peak in a month?”
“Why?” Jian Wushuang blurted out .
“It’ll be 2,100 years since she was taken away from us on the last day of next month . I clearly remember that!”
“I’ve never forgotten that she was captured, not even for a moment . ”
His father clasped his hands, his eyes filled with fury .
Jian Wushuang was astounded .
“Those whose strength has reached my level tend to ignore the lapsing of the time . Take me for example . I don’t even remember my age . ”
“Yet Father still remembers that . ”
