Divine Brilliance

“Is Ruler planning to make them Dao Soldiers? Are you thinking about which method to use?”

When Zong Shou heard this, he laughed helplessly. He wasn’t considering which technique to use, but it was that he didn’t even have a choice.

“I do have a set with me and it is the top method. I obtained a portion of Cloud World Qin and Xiang Family legacy, among which was an Emperor Qinyu Celestial Technique which was really great. I heard that the Taoist Faction and Common People’s Path had to avoid it. This technique is strong and can extend their lifespan by 10,000 years, however, afterward they would have no hopes of advancing…”

This was what Zong Shou was conflicted about. The Emperor Qinyu Celestial Warriors even exceeded the secret Dao Soldiers of the several factions.

However, there was an obvious weakness. Who knows whether it was because the Emperor didn’t perfect it or because he did it on purpose.

Yexuan’s expression changed slightly. 10,000 years ago, the Cloud World was able to go up against thousands.

There were a total of 10 End Realm Cultivators who rose up.

There was even someone like Xi Zi who was the first to reach a step to the True Realm.

This was why he didn’t dare to underestimate the techniques of this world, much less the Qin Dynasty which caused the various factions of the Cloud World to become helpless.

“Ruler is kind and benevolent and he is the good fortune of these people.”

Yexuan said these words, however, one couldn’t tell if he was praising or mocking.

For him to not be willing to use such a technique, that was something unbelievable.

Zong Shou smiled and didn’t speak. He wasn’t benevolent, he was totally unrelated to that. However, in the end, he wanted these people to serve him willingly.

If a person was totally in despair, they would do anything.

Although the Emperor Qinyu Technique was good, it was just a temporary gain. Qin Dynasty ended in just one generation and it was probably because those Celestial Warriors weren’t willing to fight to the death.

After he died, there was no news regarding what happened to the warriors.

Only by giving them a chance to advance would these people truly serve him.

These people made Soul Paths and had restrictions on their bodies. He controlled whether they could reach God Realm as well as their very lives and deaths.

The resources they needed, pills, techniques, and spiritual land were all provided by him.

For them to want all these, they needed to do things and work for him and make him satisfied.

If one day someone could break through to God Realm and not be restricted by the Dao Soldier Restrictions, that would be because he contributed greatly and used his life to pay the debt.

This was something he was glad to see happen. If that person was willing to remain, then that would be great, but if he wanted to leave, he would reward him with a gift, so that they could end their relationship on a good note.

To force people and not leave them with any choice was something he never liked to do. For both sides to be able to gain something, to work for a common goal, that was his style.

Yexuan didn’t know but Lu Wubing guessed something and he had a weird expression on his face.

He thought to himself that this might be why Zong Shou was the World Saint Ruler.

To be able to work with such a Ruler, one could naturally be at ease. However, sometimes it was really problematic.

“The Common People’s Path Dao Soldier Technique was created by Xi Zi. It should be the one with the most potential and the one that is the most complete. There is also the Sky Burning Lu Family Nine Flame Soldier Technique, along with the Extreme Sky Burning Flame Formation it is one of the top Heaven Grade Techniques. The Lu Family conquered many worlds with it and it is also quite perfect…”

Zong Shou frowned. Common People’s Path’s Heaven Grade Dao Soldiers were not bad.

As a second-generation direct disciple, he did have a portion of that legacy.

However, these Celestial Cultivators were Dao Soldiers of his Great Gan Celestial Dynasty.

Although those Elders might not say anything, it wasn’t appropriate for him to use them for his private purposes.

When Lu Wubing spoke those final few sentences, he frowned even more.

Lu Family?

He wasn’t even willing to use the Common People’s Path legacy, much less the Lu Family?

In the future, he did want to return to the Saint Dynasty but he didn’t plan on changing his surname. He also didn’t think about becoming Saint Emperor.

He hated the Lu Family and he was never restricted by people before him.

He only went back to help his mother gain a stable footing in the Lu Family.

And also Xuanhua…

A bright glow flashed in his eyes with killing intent within.

Although Lu Tianqing died, the main culprit wasn’t removed. One day he would personally kill him!

Yexuan looked at Zong Shou’s expression and knew that he rejected his idea.

He shook his head. It was really tough to know what he was thinking.

He wanted to open his mouth to persuade but then he had a thought. He hesitated, “If Ruler trusts me, I do have a technique. It came from the ancient times, as for where and who it was passed from, I don’t know. As for its strength, one won’t know until it is complete. I bought it decades ago from a bazaar. I wanted to use it on Xiaoyao Xuan, so…”

The moment he said this, he stopped and didn’t continue.

Zong Shou’s heart was like a clear mirror. He knew that it involved what Yexuan wasn’t willing for others to talk about in front of him.

“Although I have never tested it, it even has weaknesses, but from a glance, it feels like a top Dao Soldier legacy. However, I didn’t know that this technique would become one of the reasons why I was attacked by the other sect members.”

After scoffing in a self-mocking manner, he placed something like a Sheepskin Scroll in front of him.

He carried nothing on him and when he got out of the Death Jail he didn’t even have a usable sword.

He only had this scroll diagram that was placed close to him.

“I have really high hopes for this item and studied it pretty much every day. I just wanted my sect’s Dao Soldier strength to greatly increase which was why I didn’t put it in any Space Artifacts. Because of this, it wasn’t taken away by others.”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up. He didn’t know what happened to Yexuan before he was imprisoned at the Death Jail.

However, since someone with his Sword Path attainments had such high hopes for this item, he was really looking forward to obtaining this leather scroll diagram.

Zong Shou reached out and grabbed the scroll. He was shocked by the texture. This is sheepskin?

Then, Yexuan laughed coldly and pulled out the Tianqing Sword.

Before Zong Shou could reach it, he struck the diagram.

It was rebounded by a soft power while the scroll was totally undamaged. It didn’t even have a white mark.

Zong Shou was stunned. He exchanged glances with Lu Wubing and both of their eyes were filled with shock.

How was Yexuan’s sword so powerful? Even if he didn’t go all out, Zong Shou wouldn’t be able to block it and he wasn’t even his opponent.

However, this Sheepskin Scroll was able to take a sword from him.

…Even top defensive Celestial Artifacts were just like this!

“I suspect that this item is made from Absolute Beginning Dragon Leather or taken from the shedding of some Ancient God Beast ancestor. Anyway, the material would be most probably something like that…”

Yexuan said impassively, “If it did not look a little bad, it wouldn’t have fallen into that bazaar with no one bothering about it. Otherwise, I would not have been able to find it.”

Zong Shou was extremely eager. He looked closely at the patterns on the leather…

He initially frowned at how rough it was like it was just a shallow Xuan Grade Dao Soldier Technique and also a compatible Sword Formation.

This technique was really common in the Cloud World.

The Common People’s Path had hundreds of these in its treasury.

As compared to the Common People’s Path’s Mysterious Dragon Warriors and his Blood Cloud Cavalry there was a huge gap.

However, if not for Yexuan’s sword and his words just now, he would most likely not have been interested and just left.

But he knew that there was something special about the diagram.

Thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou slit open his wrist.

He allowed his fresh blood to drip onto it.

The entire drawing was dyed red and several golden patterns appeared on it that started spreading from the middle.

Along with the original patterns, the message on the Sheepskin Scroll immediately became deep and indiscernible.

Zong Shou opened his World Burning Blood Eyes to closely read the secrets within.

The more he read, the more shocked he was. The patterns were still really simple.

However, when one looked at it, it would make one feel enlightened.

The more he studied, the more he felt like there were other secrets within. The information within was endless like it contained the laws of the Grand Dao.

Slowly, a passage of words appeared in his Soul Ocean.

…Imperial Demon Slaying Records!

Not only was it a Dao Soldier Technique, but it also seemed to be like a scripture that described the Grand Dao…

Zong Shou wanted to study it deeper, but then the Book of Eon in him started to buzz, causing what he saw in his Blood Eye to change.

At first, he was confused but then he understood what was happening.

“This isn’t left from ancient times but it is from the outer region…”

Other people might not have seen much but to Zong Shou who had the Book of Eon, there was an unusual Spacetime Power in it which was really obvious.

The moment he said this Yexuan was shocked and then he thought about something, “So, that was the case! No wonder when I went all around to read and search for information, I couldn’t find any news about it.

Zong Shou was also at a loss deep down. The senior Celestial Cultivators had guessed that there were other worlds outside of this region.

One needed to merge with the Dao and enter the True Realm to cross over. Even the Buddhist Faction had goals of opening another region.

However, all these were things that weren’t proven.

Zong Shou had always not fully believed in all this.

However, today this Sheepskin Diagram had undoubtedly proven the presence of other worlds!

“As expected, it is slightly incomplete. Someone must have tore it from a book.”

Zong Shou shook his head and came back to his senses. He then focused on the missing corner.

“It really is amazing! Unfortunately, 1 out of 30 is missing. However, Yexuan said that you have studied it for long, who knows you might be able to complete it.”

Just as he was thinking about this, the Nameless Sword in his sleeve started to ring.
