Divine Brilliance

Zong Shou used the power of the teleportation scroll to get back to Gantian Mountain.

With his current cultivation, even if he was far away from Gantian Mountain, he could fight against Celestial Realm Experts.

However, for him to go to and fro across this 70,000 miles of space was something he still couldn’t do.

Even if he went all out, it would take several days. As such, one could see how amazing a Saint Realm’s ability was.

Zong Shou instinctively looked above to the sky when he reached the mountain peak.

He saw that the Silver Cocoon still hadn’t opened. However, it had stopped absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy as well as Gantian Mountain’s Saint King Energy.

At this moment, the Silver Cocoon was huge. Numerous white flames blazed and wrapped around it.

The entire cocoon was beating like a heart. Each time it rose up, it would cause a Spiritual Energy wave that spread 1,000 miles in every direction.

“Such an intense flame, wouldn’t it be cooked?”

Zong Shou peeked inside and then looked back into the palace.

The Hanyan Palace was as cold as usual. Where the entire Great Han’s politics were ruled from had shifted to the Zhenggang Peak, not far away.

Zong Shou didn’t make use of too many palace girls, there were very few people all around.

However, at this moment, the place was really cold. He felt really carefree when he lived in this area.

Zong Shou headed first for the building where Kong Yao was staying.

Right as he stepped in, he heard the sound of sword ringing.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but shake his head. Why was Kong Yao practicing with her sword in the middle of the night?

However, thinking about it, Kong Yao had many things to do during the day, leading and commanding the various troops.

When he stepped in, the close to flawless Sword Intent instantly changed.

Her energy sensed him, suddenly a snow bright Sword Light charged in from outside.

Zong Shou didn’t worry too much about it, right as he was about to flick with his right hand to deflect the Sword Light.

He exclaimed from the aura, looking over in shock.

Spirit and Martial Arts merging into one!

Kong Yao really did it!

Moreover, right at the start, she had reached close to 30% merger!

At the same time, Kong Yao also it was Zong Shou.

“It is my husband?”

Her watery eyes flashed and then she was filled with even more determination.

The sword in her hand became even sharper, not holding anything back and striking right at Zong Shou’s brow.

A Soldier Path Sword Intent used to the extreme, merged the Strength of the millions of Gantian troops within.

It was like she wanted to kill him with one sword.

When Zong Shou saw this, a huge bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Was Kong Yao planning on killing her husband for what happened previously?

The girl looked like she was really willing, but hated him for what happened on the platform.

He didn’t dare get distracted as he retreated back slightly. His right finger drew a beautiful arc as it struck the space in front of him, forcing the stabbing Sword Light to change its trajectory.

Kong Yao gritted her silver teeth and knew that her sword was actually useless.

She decided to not worry about it, Sword Shadows slashed down, turning into millions of swords slashing and cutting the space in front of her into a million pieces.

She saw that his hand started to control space energy. Bits of Spiritual Light brought with it numerous exquisite arcs. It was fluctuating and deceitful, crossing and speeding through the Sword Shadows. It stacked space and twisted Cause and Effect.

His finger continuously smacked into Kong Yao’s sword.

No matter how Kong Yao blocked and altered her Sword Path, there was nothing she could do about it.

Zong Shou didn’t use much strength. Just after ten strikes, her sword couldn’t slash down anymore. He retracted the sword and retreated to 100 feet out.

Then, she looked at Zong Shou in a dejected manner, “As expected, I can’t even force out 10% of your strength.”

Zong Shou’s lip curled, it wasn’t 10%, this sword forced out 20% of his strength!

Just now he looked like he was really casual, but it actually wasn’t so easy.

Then, a weird glow flashed and he asked curiously, “When did you grasp Spirit and Martial Arts merging into one? Your source Dao seems…”

He frowned and thought back to just now. His expression became increasingly weird.

At this moment, not only did Kong Yao confirm her foundations, she seemed to be walking on the same path as Shiyue.

To first decide on one and then lead one to outer Daos, going from simple to complicated…

“It is Art! Art is basically Law! Art of learning, Art of Strategy, Art of Power, Art of Divination, it includes everything. This is my Dao!”

Kong Yao smiled and her brows relaxed. Her eyes were filled with confidence, “My Kong Family has also obtained some legacies of Legalism during these 10,000 years. Unfortunately, they were incomplete, Law, Art and Strength, three Daos, we only acquired Art and Strength. In the end, the Seniors consolidated it with various Divination Dao Techniques and stretched it out. Unfortunately, fewer than three people cultivated in it. My father only taught it to me because I commanded troops. Apart from that, it was also merged with the Techniques of the Art of War to perfect it!”

Zong Shou was enlightened. So, this Kong Family also got a portion of the legacy of Legalism.

Kong Rui’s talent was also really shocking.

Speaking of which, even if he had already stepped into the Spirit Realm, he couldn’t see through Kong Rui’s true strength.

He only knew that he was at the peak of the Spirit Realm. However, he hid deeply and didn’t show anything, only becoming famous for his Divination Techniques. As for his Martial Path and Spiritual Cultivation, no one knew anything about it.

Since he could teach Kong Yao, then his strength was definitely not ordinary.

This Legalism Faction swept everything 10,000 years ago, relying on Qin to wipe out the Taoist Faction and Confucian Faction.

Its core were three Daos; Law, Art and Strength. The Ancestor of Legalism was said to be someone who was on the same level as Xi Zi.

However, because he incurred the wrath of everyone, he died early and didn’t reach the half a step to True Realm stage.

However, he wasn’t like Xi Zi. Whether or not he really died was an uncertain matter.

Kong Yao said while looking at Zong Shou with a weird expression, “Husband, why are you here so late at night? Is it due to the preparations for the outer region? Everything is already done. Seven Space Ships are all prepared. The drivers were all personally selected by Ruolan. 300,000 Elite Soldiers, 3,000 Black Fox Iron Cavalry and 3,000 Grade-5 Swordsmen from Sword Sect can follow you out at any moment…”

Suddenly thinking about something, her face flushed red as she looked away, “If you want to spend the night here, can you come over next time? I have only comprehended less than 30% of the Daos you learned that day and don’t have much time.”

It was that day on the Heaven Reaching Platform where she followed him and entered the state of merging with the Heavens that she was able to grasp Spirit and Martial Arts Merger in a short month and also confirm her core Dao.

When Zong Shou heard this, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He just wanted to ask Kong Yao if she needed this Jade Xuan Clear Purple Pill.

He shook his head slightly, his expression turning serious. He calmed himself down and started to advise her on her Sword Technique.

His Sword Path was the top in the world and came into contact with all sorts of intents. He was also studying the Dao word. At this moment, just a few words caused Kong Yao to be enlightened and delighted.

Following this, she was totally engrossed in her Sword Technique, having no time to worry about him.

He just had an hour before he could only leave helplessly.

The second person he found was Ruoshui.

However, when Zong Shou walked into where she was staying, he couldn’t see her anywhere.

Without needing to think, he knew that she was most probably with Xuanyuan Yiren.

He walked back to the central palace. As expected, he sensed two familiar auras that were at the side hall which had been changed into a pill room.

Xuanyuan Yiren was probably refining pills. Without even getting close, he felt a hot aura, the fire Spiritual Energy was extremely thick and intense.

He walked in and as expected he saw Xuanyuan Yiren focusing on the pill furnace in front of her.

She was casting spells to control the flames under the furnace. Ruoshui was actually not sleeping, fanning and looking dazed at the furnace.

When she noticed his arrival, Xuanyuan Yiren’s body shuddered. Even the flames under the furnace shook. Ruoshui was surprised and slightly panicked, she was hesitating whether or not she should try to escape. However, thinking about it, since Zong Shou was in front of her, she couldn’t escape even if she wanted to. She could only sigh and accept her fate.

Zong Shou was speechless, was he really a lustful demon? Why were they so worried?

However, thinking about it, that day after the tribulation, he was really so excited and tortured Yiren and Ruoshui for several days, not letting them get out of the bed.

Xuanyuan Yiren had already calmed down when he walked in front of the furnace and sat down, “Husband, Yiren is at an important moment for this pill, can you come over later?”

Ruoshui’s expression was also solemn, fanning the flames in a serious manner.

This fan was also a Spiritual Artifact. When the fan was waved, it didn’t move wind, but Five Element Spiritual Energy. She said in a nervous manner, “Ruoshui needs to help sister Yiren control the flames.”

Zong Shou laughed and wasn’t concerned whether or not this was true. He calmed down and took out three pills from within.

Xuanyuan Yiren originally didn’t care much, but when the Spiritual Pill Light spread out, there was no fragrance and only then did her expression change.

She then snatched the three pills.

“This pill can actually merge all energies together. There is actually such a level of pill skill?”

She took it in her hands and looked at it closely, her eyes filled with shock. She then looked at Zong Shou with a questioning gaze.

“What is its name, what effect does it have?”

“This is the Jade Xuan Clear Purple Pill, as for its effect…”

Before he said it, Xuanyuan Yiren interrupted him.

“It can help one merge Spirit and Martial Arts into one before the God Realm right?”

Thinking back carefully, Xuanyuan Yiren said solemnly, “I heard that it was crafted by the Taoist Faction Ancestor Qingxuan, a Celestial Grade PIll. After using it, even the most average of talents have a chance to directly enter the Saint Realm. Unfortunately, the pill level is too high and there are restrictions within. I am unable to deduce how this pill is crafted and refined and it has no help to my Pill Dao. Husband brought these three pills back for Ruoshui and I to consume?”
