Divine Brilliance

Zong Shou felt really conflicted toward the Cangyan Hall Head.

He was disgusted by him, but he was also really wary toward him.

At this time, to ask for help from him felt like he was throwing himself into a net.

People like Fangjue and Lu Wubing were all scheming and cunning people. They each had their own wants and it was tough for one to read what they were really thinking.

When one dealt with such people, one had to be on guard and really focused in case one fell into a trap.

He thought about it carefully. Apart from this method, there was no other way.

As for what Lu Wubing said about recommending someone to become the new Cangling World Master, Zong Shou didn’t doubt him.

Anyway, he was unable to defend this world by himself and the Buddhist Faction couldn’t too.

As for the Cangyan Hall, although it was one of the Six Saint Halls, Fangjue had just taken over for a few years and had many things to deal with. He probably wouldn’t be able to find someone suitable to take over Cangling World.

Even if Lu Wubing had selfish reasons, as long as the next World Master didn’t pillage the Xiantian Fire Essence Marrow, then he was already satisfied.

“Forget it, let’s follow your plan!”

Zong Shou shook his head helplessly and chose to compromise. He had to worry about it and he couldn’t just disregard the situation of the future of Cangling World.

This was also his promise to Jingyin, that the women in Cangling World wouldn’t suffer the pain of losing their children because of the Xiantian Fire Essence Marrow…

He was helpless and he could only do this. He would first owe Fangjue a favor!

However, he didn’t have any way to contact Fangjue.

Lu Wubing laughed, a purple flame appeared in his hands. It shook and jumped and then instantly disappeared.

Lu Wubing’s face was devoid of blood, he only spoke a moment later, “The news should be able to reach Cangyan Hall within half a day.”

Zong Shou’s pupils constricted. The Lu Family legacy that he got was really incomplete.

He also recognized this Secret Message Passing Technique. It was said that within three days, it could spread a thread of Spiritual Sense to any one of the millions of worlds in this region.

However, one had to have relatively high attainments in both the Sky Burning Flame and Space Dao to use this technique.

“However, this person’s Dao isn’t space, time, Universe or Eon. If I am right, it should be Gap Dao. For him to cultivate it to such an extreme is really amazing…”

Gap, Space Gap, Time Gap, everything had gaps existing around them and within them.

Due to him grasping this Dao, he was able to comprehend the Void Space Teleportation Curse as well as this Secret Message Passing Technique.

The moment such a thought flashed in his mind, Zong Shou couldn’t help but think about Zhang Huai.

Before he left the Cloud World, although Zhang Huai was at Spirit Realm, his Dao was already fixed. It was Measure, allowing him to quantify the Heaven and Earth and all the beings within it.

Both of them were not only similarly intelligent, even the Dao they cultivated was on the same level and also had limitless potential.

When cultivated to the extreme, it was really terrifying.

“If Lu Wubing was being truthful, then his Dao most probably had something to do with his experiences in Nine Extreme Death Jail. At every moment, he was probably thinking about how to escape from that place…”

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed and then he smiled, “Thank you Brother Lu!”

He then asked, “We can’t remain here, does Brother Lu have anything to advise me of?”

“Ruler can call me directly by my name!”

Lu Wubing sighed for a moment and then continued, “At this moment, you should return to Yuanlian World. However, based on what Wushuang found out, the Nine Capital Imperial Dynasty’s Hong Jiuchen and Tianfang Guild are unwilling to leave that world.”

Zong Shou looked at this person with a weird expression. He knew that his words hadn’t ended and what was next was the main point of his statement.

As expected, Lu Wushuang said, “All along, when one conquered the outer region, one needed to gain the moral high ground and righteousness as an excuse. It would either let one to gain the unity of the troops and also cause other powers to worry. Especially since you came from the Cloud World, you have to do this. You need to be careful to not allow the outer region End Realm to interfere. At this moment, if you want to swallow the entire Yuanlian World and even expand further you need to choose a place to cultivate for 4-5 months. Bait those people in Yuanlian World, to prepare their troops and cause problems. If you don’t have such intentions, then you need to return back to threaten these people with nefarious intentions.”

“Excuse me?”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up, his eyes filled with confusion, “Based on what I know, the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty has at least 7 Saint Realms and at this moment they have no worries internally and no powers suppressing them outside. They are at their strongest.”

The various cultivator powers around the Cloud World all had their own problems. Only this Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty could expand outward in an unrestrained manner.

It was already really tough for him to be able to chase Hong Jiuchen out of Yuanlian World.

At this moment, listening to what Lu Wubing mentioned, he actually wanted to use Hong Jiuchen’s matter to cause trouble for Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty.

“At this moment, we really can’t afford to offend them…”

Lu Wubing smiled, his tone filled with a cold mocking intent, “However, if one is too prosperous, one will definitely fall! Wubing coincidentally knows about a matter. Half a year from now, they will have a big problem. Even if they are able to avoid it, I also had the ability to riddle them with problems, so that they will be unable to keep up. I also know that Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty has 3 newly obtained medium-sized worlds that you can conquer. They aren’t far away and once we build up a world gate, they can be connected together and will be no smaller than a large-sized world! We also don’t need to be afraid of Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty fighting back.”

Hearing this person’s words, Zong Shou’s tightly frowned brow slowly relaxed.

He didn’t agree nor disagree with his words, as for whether things could happen exactly as Lu Wubing mentioned, he had to investigate first before he knew for certain. He definitely wouldn’t easy trust him and wouldn’t so confidently start causing trouble for Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty.

However, hearing this person speak, he seemed really familiar with the outer region world situation.

At this moment, although he occupied half of Yuanlian World, he was still at a total loss about where to attack and which step he should take next.

If Lu Wubing sincerely helped him, that would be a joyous thing. He would be able to have another right hand man by his side.

From what he said, the only thing that he agreed with was baiting Hong Jiuchen to cause trouble.

He could use this chance to swallow up Yuanlian…

In other words, he couldn’t return back to Yuanlian World in the short term?

If that was the case…

Zong Shou’s pupils constricted, “Where is the Nine Extreme Death Jail. How did the two people you talked about escape?”

Lu Wubing was stunned and instantly frowned, “That Nine Extreme Death Jail will teleport once every 100 years in a small area. Its current position is not far away from the Cloud World, roughly 500 worlds away and we can reach it in a few months. This was also the reason why Fangjue Hall head gave up on the stronger Ziyan Hall and chose to join the Cangyan Hall. The plan of escaping was during the 100 year teleportation moment. Not only would there be many weaknesses in the formation due to this, many holes would appear in the world barriers. Even the Saint Venerable wouldn’t be able to take care of it all!”

After saying this, Lu Wubing shook his head, “According to me, it is still a little too early for you to search for Princess Hanyan. Not to mention, how you lack strength now. The 100-year teleportation date is still far away. 50 years ago, the jail had already teleported once, so the next time would be fifty years later. To cultivators like us, it is just the flick of a finger, so Ruler please bear with it…”

Zong Shou kept silent. 50 years? A flick of a finger of time?

That was true, however, he still felt really anxious in his heart like he couldn’t bear with it for even a moment.

Each time he thought about how the woman who gave birth to him was suffering within the jail, he felt like the depths of his soul was trembling.

He could bear with it for 50 years, but could his mother?

He scoffed and then clenched his fists.

He looked coldly opposite. Lu Wubing stopped speaking, lowering his body, his eyes didn’t even dare to look into Zong Shou’s.

Zong Shou was helpless and could only temporarily put down this matter. A Spiritual Light flashed in his head and he had an idea.

“Wubing how were you prepared to escape that jail? You weren’t going to wait for 100 years right?”

Lu Wubing’s expression instantly changed, turning white and green.

He didn’t reply until Zong Shou’s gaze became sharper and sharper, his intent slowly turning cold.

Only then did he speak up helplessly, “I did have a plan but it was too risky which was why I didn’t dare to tell Ruler. The best plan would be to at least have a half a step to End Realm Expert following to coordinate from the outside. Unless Ruler let me sees a possibility of success, otherwise, I won’t say it! Even if you are going to enter, please allow me to follow you!”

His tone was really firm, like he didn’t allow Zong Shou to force him and rush him.

Zong Shou was deep in thought, half a step to End Realm?

He knew a few people. His Senior Brother Wei Xu was one of them, but who knows where he was hiding at this moment?

His Senior Brother’s Dao was related to the sun, clashing with that of the Buddhist Faction Dari Rulai.

However, Zong Shou always felt that his foundations weren’t so simple.

There was one more person, that ice horned dragon. However, at this moment, it was taking care of Aokun and he couldn’t contact it.

The Common People’s Path had dozens of Saint Realms and a large number of them reached the peak. However, apart from Wei Xu, none of them were half a step to End Realm.

His Master Dragon Shadow was in secluded meditation and for 50 years he would try his best not to interrupt and disturb him.

Next would be the other End Realm Expert he knew in the Common People’s Path, his Senior Master Yuanjing.

With him thinking it such a way, it seemed like he had made up his mind to make a trip to Nine Extreme Death Region.

Whether or not he would enter depended on the situation then.

He thought back to the seven drops of Heaven Snatching Liquid in his possession.

Talking about half a step to End Realm, there was one more person.

However, no one knew where he ended up. Although his name was in the Mysterious Golden Life Book, he only had a bit of lifeforce left.

The one who forcefully tried to take the End Realm tribulation and fell…

His Master in name, Lin Xuanshuang.

Heaven Snatching Liquid could only work on God Realm Experts and below.

However, if he used it along with the Mysterious Golden Life Book and other methods, maybe without an End Realm Expert, he might be able to help revive.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed like the important thing was to make a trip back to the Cloud World.

The Taoist Faction said that he wasn’t to return to the Cloud World in 20 years, but the Vast Habitat wasn’t a part of this restriction.
