Divine Brilliance

“Esteemed guest, please check to see if you are satisfied…”

After saying this, he took out several Magical Treasures, letting them line up in the air in front of Zong Shou.

First were the sword and armor. With a thought, Zong Shou retrieved both items into his hands.

His eyes instantly lit up. The sword and the armor were both Grade-3 Magical Treasures which a Grade-9 Cultivator could also use.

He tried using True Qi and as expected the aura was hidden within. What was amazing was that it was pretty much one with the surroundings and there was nothing weird at all.

He flicked with his finger, causing both the sword and the armor to give out a ring.

He looked like he didn’t use much strength, but actually waves of internal energy seeped in.

He then smiled. These two treasures were above the expected standard. Not only were they able to hide their auras, but their functions were not weak either.

The defensive ability of the armor was far above that of people of the same grade. The sword body could actually store up energy in advance and was exceptionally sharp.

However, apart from the sword and the armor, there were numerous button-sized black iron pieces.

Zong Shou was deep in thought as he looked at the sword and armor in his hands, only to see that at the sword handle and spine, as well as within the armor, there were several caved in portions which were coincidentally a perfect fit for these iron pieces.

“I specially laid out this Artifact Formation. The core is split into 5. With 4 parts of it taken out, it is a Grade-3 Magical Treasure that Heaven Realm Experts can use. Every one added in will increase its strength by 1-2 grades. If all are added in, then it is a Grade-9 item.”

The middle-aged man calmly explained, “However, this caused the effects of the formation to be more or less weakened. If not, this artifact would be able to reach between Magical Treasure and Celestial Artifact!”

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up. Landlord Chen was really a great thinker, coming up with ideas outside of the box.

He really didn’t make a wrong decision searching for him to help craft the artifact.

As they say, one can’t get both the fish and the bear’s palm. When he raised up those conditions, he didn’t have many high hopes for the functions of the 2 Magical Treasures.

However, at this moment he had acquired both.

The Defensive Treasure made for Ruolan was a shield. However, the function of the treasure was already much stronger solely in terms of defense.

Zong Shou didn’t bother to look carefully and just kept it within his sleeves. Landlord Chen could be said to be a master at crafting. None of the things he took out were ordinary.

Lastly were the two Giant Shields that he crafted for the Xuanwu. At this moment, they shrunk to only 10 feet.

Zong Shou instinctively tried to use Soul Power to move it, but he actually couldn’t. He was completely shocked.

He tried to use his hands to carry it, but his body directly sunk and he nearly fell to the ground.

He instantly merged Spirit with Martial Arts and also used the power of the Juntian Flame Armor. With his 36 mountains of strength to explosively increase, only then he was barely able to hold on.

This shield was obviously out of his strength limits. It was at least comparable to 180 Sumeru Mountains!

Normal Celestial Realm Cultivators only had 100 mountains of strength…

The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was obviously really gleeful as it looked at Zong Shou.

Landlord Chen saw the curiosity in his mind, “I added in 2 pieces of Ten Thousand Year Cold Wall Dirt.”

“Ten Thousand Year Cold Wall Dirt?”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up. He had heard of the item before and it was indeed really heavy.

He felt a cold sweat form on his head as if his requests from before were a little too huge.

Luckily, he obtained a huge fortune from the Qin Emperor Tomb. Just the amount he spent today was enough to nearly bankrupt him.

He viciously stared at the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle. He was going to use up large amounts of money because of the two shields.

That Xuan Turtle felt it, its eyes innocently looking back at him.

Landlord Chen laughed, “I was too excited and really didn’t want to waste the Black Xuan Purple Hero Iron which was why I added it in on my own accord. I can give you a 30% discount on the price later on!”

Zong Shou smiled as he shook his head, not knowing if what he said was true or not. Actually, as long as the treasure was a fit, he was willing to pay however high a price.

Looking at the shield once more, it was squarish at the top and sharp at the bottom. When one sent True Qi in, one could feel that it was really firm and tough. Although it didn’t reach the Celestial Artifact level, it probably wasn’t far from it.

He could only activate 30% of the formations within. They were probably specially designed for the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle.

Behind the shield were two deep dents which were for the Turtle to grab.

Zong Shou was too lazy to look into it deeply and directly just tossed the two Giant Shields over.

The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was over the moon, its body hanging in the air. With the use of True Qi, it held up both shields in front of its body.

Then there was a buzzing ring as a black light flashed on the shield. Layers of thin Xuan Ice appeared outside.

“Xuan Wu Body Protecting Energy!”

Zong Shou instantly sucked in a cold breath. Only now did he realize that the formation within was specially designed for its energy.

It allowed its body-protecting energy to pass through the shield, just like that of the turtle shell.

The Xuanwu Body Protecting Energy was originally the world’s strongest defensive ability. Adding in on this shield, it almost unimaginable how strong it really was.

The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was obviously purposely holding back the Xuan Ice in the shield. If it wanted, it could increase to thousands of feet at any time.

Following this, the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle retracted its head and limbs. Those two shields turned into dozens of them and protected it fully.

Numerous blades stretched out from the sides of the shields, slicing the air at high speeds.

The aura was really domineering and strong.

Zong Shou’s head felt numb. This was a castle that couldn’t be broken and smashed but had extremely strong killing powers. If it knocked him, he might not be able to block it.

Landlord Chen looked over expressionlessly and then shook his head, “Your turtle begged me for it. I thought about it and felt that it would be a waste as such a large shield only had defensive abilities. Thus, I spent some effort, luckily the strength is still decent..”

Zong Shou was thinking that the turtle most probably remembered deeply about how it had no way to fight back when Zong Shou recruited it which was why it did that.

However, because of that it could now both attack and defend. Even if it faced someone like Zong Shou, he would be able to handle it.

Zong Shou didn’t look closely at the Royal Demon God Shuttle. Only by traveling quickly in a vast region would one assess effectiveness.

He totally trusted this person’s crafting ability.

After keeping all the items, he looked at the owner with a complicated gaze.

He had an unprecedented urge to want to know his name and background.

He had never met someone with such exquisite crafting skills.

Although Kongqi Sect was spread down for 10,000 years, compared to him it was like comparing an apprentice to a grandmaster.

The Magical Treasures also seemed to hide shadows of the Mohists.

If he could recruit him…

Following this, he began laughing. Great Gan is such a small country, how could it recruit such a person?

To be able to use Spiritual Sense to hold the two Giant Shields up in the air, he was at least Late Celestial Realm.

Looking at this person, he obviously had no intention of getting close to him. He was really polite but looked like he was trying to distance himself.

Since that was the case, then it was best if he didn’t ask for rejection.

※※※※

After paying the bill, Zong Shou walked out of the Tianqi Building and directly left the Tianfang World.

The Tianqi Building Owner was really honest doing business. However, the prices of the materials were still really shocking. Zong Shou’s current Heaven and Earth Bag was pretty much empty.

He wasn’t willing to use the Mind Stones so he used pills. Luckily, Landlord Chen accepted it and was even delighted about over it.

Those were pills refined by top cultivators during the Qin Emperor period. Not only were most of them lost, they were all Rare Elite Products.

Zong Shou also felt more and more that this person had a deep relationship with the Cloud World.

After exiting Tianfang World, Zong Shou drove the shuttle to speed all around outside the void.

As expected, the speed was 4 times faster now. He used his Spiritual Sense to investigate and there were just over 10 new parts.

He forcefully smashed into the void storm, however, he felt that the body of the shuttle was totally fine and unharmed even if the numerous void cracks flashed outside and Spiritual Energy struck it.

In that instant, Zong Shou was filled with joy. After leaving the Cloud World, the first thing he wanted to do wasn’t conquer the outer region, but to train and improve his cultivation and sword.

What was most important were the Black and White Holes that had already become the foundations of his Dao.

He had only heard about them two and seen videos.

However, he didn’t know what they were actually like. Everything he knew about them was just on the surface.

This was why he now wanted to head over to worlds with those two to go take a look for himself.

Only after seeing himself would his Dao become more real.

Legend said that to head over to that region, one needed a really strong Space Ship to travel through a big patch of void storm.

This was why to date, Cloud World Cultivators were still unable to notice the existence of that world.

“This Royal Demon God Shuttle is really not bad! How fast would it be when it is fully repaired. Unfortunately, it isn’t as stylish as my Blue Fire Xuan Turtle. It is not bad for rushing to places but it is best to use the turtle. So overbearing and arrogant, how cool. Speaking of which, since this item is called the Royal Demon Space Shuttle, then shouldn’t it have the ability to kill evil and avoid demons?”

Sometimes he wanted to look cool and arrogant not because he was so, but to avoid trouble.

If he traveled in the outer region and had such a turtle, even if other people had nefarious intentions, they would think twice.

After all, at this moment, with him training the Seven Cycle Xuantong Full Restriction his True Qi and Soul Power were covered fully like that of a normal person.

Zong Shou tested it out and then stopped. He spread out his Spiritual Sense to start to contact Ruoshui and Shi Ruolan.

According to the time, their ships would have nearly reached.

“However, what about Feishuang and Feihan?”

If he left now and met up with the ships, then he wouldn’t be able to take care of them.

If something happened during this time, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

He thought about it in his heart and then felt that there was movement from the talisman within Tianfang World.

Finally, those two sisters came out…
