Divine Brilliance

Zong Shou was furious, he wanted him not to bother about his money, but who would worry about his life?

Since Renbo didn’t care too much about his lifespan, then he wouldn’t care about it either.

He directly waved his sleeves and left. Zong Shou casually looked around before flying into the air.

Since Renbo was personally taking charge of Rainbow City, then it wouldn’t be too much of a problem.

When he left, the people within the city seemed to know about his arrival.

The entire city cheered out.

However, he was in a really bad mood. His face was dark and sunken. It was because of Renbo, but also because of those dead people.

He headed north until the shuttle was several hundred miles away. Only then did he feel a little better.

He could see a roughly 5,000-foot high platform which was standing on a plain.

From afar, the stone platform was still being rebuilt, many pieces of giant stone were being pushed upward.

There were numerous people who were hard at work.

This place was a desolate plain between Gantian Mountain and Rainbow City. What was being built was the Heaven Reaching Platform, where he would face the tribulation! Within a month, it was going to be built up to 9,000 feet and also have a complete Spiritual Formation drawn around it.

The entire process was like amassing a mountain on a flat piece of land.

If it was anywhere else, it would be a huge waste of money and was the sign of the death of the country.

However, Zong Shou didn’t make use of country funds and didn’t make use of civilian labor. He spent his own money and the materials were all bought. The people were hired using money and Mind Stones. Thus, he felt at ease. The strong civilians all over all eyed and desired to join in.

Naturally, there were many people talking about it these past few days.

Donglin Cloud Continent was now prosperous and there were many Confucians who headed over. There were many who said that he abused civilian labor, that he was prideful and luxurious, that he was asking to be wiped out.

However, these were just comments spread privately, so he didn’t care about them.

This was the benefit of being a Ruler. When needed, he could use the labor and materials within the country for his own use.

Apart from the stone platform, there was a thick Vengeful Energy surging in the clouds.

A full army of 400,000 was gathered here, including the Blood Cloud Cavalry.

During the fight against the Taoist Faction, both the Blood Cloud Cavalry and the Xuan Fox Iron Cavalry both suffered many losses. Luckily, Gantian Mountain had deep pockets and foundations and within a few days they replenished the manpower.

After dozens more huge battles, if one didn’t calculate the newbies, their combat strength all rose instead of decreasing.

When Zong Shou descended on the high platform, he saw Kong Rui looking closely at an incomplete Spiritual Formation axis.

He wasn’t surprised by Zong Shou’s arrival. He just calmly bowed toward him.

“Ruler please don’t be worried! This Heaven Reaching Platform will be complete in 15 days. The Spiritual Formation drawn doesn’t have any mistakes. In 20 days, we can temporarily gather the Gantian Mountain Dragon Vein over.”

Zong Shou didn’t fully trust what he said, spreading out his Spiritual Sense, covering 100 miles. A moment later, he nodded his head in recognition.

Like what Kong Rui said, everything was proceeding smoothly. He felt that his father in law was really amazing.

Not only was he good at divination techniques, but his cultivation was also extremely deep. He wasn’t a simple Spirit Realm Expert. His Formation Dao attainments were really exceptional too. He was also great at managing people, such a huge construction, millions of people, numerous resources. Everything was orderly and smooth, there was no chaos at all.

In a short few days, he was able to build up this 10-mile wide stone platform to a height of 5,000 feet. Through this, one could see his ability.

Gantian Mountain’s Dragon Vein could in fact be sucked over.

He was just borrowing it. He didn’t really want to borrow its strength to go through the tribulation.

He wanted enough Spiritual Energy to train and purify his physical body after the tribulation.

He wasn’t willing to harm the innocent near Gantian Mountain, so he would just temporarily shift the Earth Veins over here.

This was where he chose to fight against Taoist Faction and Yuanshi Demon Sect.

Each month, there would be more Taoist Faction experts who returned to the Cloud World. Ruoshui also found news that Yuanshi Demon Sect would go all out.

Zong Ling was in charge of supporting Kong Rui, who commanded the construction. The one observing was Hu Zhongyuan.

When he saw Zong Shou, his knife-like thick eyebrows furrowed, filled with worry.

“Ruler, this Heaven Tribulation…”

He stopped. All of a sudden, he didn’t know how to put it.

His eyes were filled with blood threads, filled with anxiousness as he didn’t know what to do.

He mumbled softly, “Aren’t you going to avoid it? Why don’t we shift more troops over!”

Zong Shou didn’t even need to think and knew what he was getting at. The entire Gantian Mountain City had such a pessimistic atmosphere.

There were very few people who knew that he joined the Common People’s Path; only Xuanyuan Tong and Hu Qianqiu and a few others.

Hu Zhongyuan wasn’t among them, but he also knew the rough movement of those sects. Naturally, he was really worried about him.

“The tribulation is fixed, so how can I avoid it?”

Kong Rui shook his head when he heard this, “Ruler’s Heaven Barrier has been broken and can’t be reversed. It is a happy thing so why worry? At this moment, Gantian Mountain has a lack of manpower. 400,000 are enough. I foretell it, Ruler will definitely be safe!”

Hu Zhongyuan frowned when he heard this, he never believed in divination.

Even if Donglin pretty much treated Kong Rui as a godlike presence.

However, the Father of the Left Inspector garnered his respect. He didn’t dare retort and just looked around, using his eyes to seek for help.

Zong Yuan who commanded the Blood Cloud Cavalry to defend this area didn’t bother. He was only curious as to why Zong Shou would choose this place and not the Common People’s Path?

He only knew that he had his reason for choosing this place.

On the contrary, Zong Ling spoke, “Although that is said, we still need to prepare well. Ruler has offended them badly and we have to defend. It is best if we find a complete solution! You are the main pillar of Gantian and we can’t let anything happen to you. Even if we join the Demon Sect, we need Ruler to safely pass the tribulation.”

Zong Shou didn’t react as he gazed around. Then, his eyes fixed on something.

Dozens of miles away in a camp, a girl was wearing silver armor and commanding the arrangements of the camp.

Seemingly sensing his gaze, Kong Yao turned around and looked right at him.

She first moved her face away in a slightly embarrassed manner, however, she then felt it wasn’t right, turning her head back and staring angrily.

Zong Shou’s heart moved a little when he saw this. This girl seems a little off.

He didn’t think too deeply about it, turning around and looking at the grey sky.

Thinking to himself, what would happen in 20 days?

Would he successfully enter the Spirit Realm? Or would he fall like how those other people wished?

After his master broke through, the Cloud World would give birth to its Seventh End Realm.

Would he be able to return?

The head of the sword, Nine Dragon Shadow Sword, the King returns…

※※※※

100,000 miles away, when Huayun stepped out from the void and into the Vast Habitat, it was scarily quiet, filled with killing intent.

10,000 sect disciples all respectfully lined up on both sides.

Those dozens of Spirit Realm Experts did the same. They were lined up according to strength.

They were still really pumped up. Even if their expressions were different, some were happy, some annoyed, some angry. They all suppressed it and didn’t dare speak.

It wasn’t as chaotic as he imagined…

However, apart from that, there were hundreds of heads hanging at the palace gates.

It was less than 10,000 feet away, a truly eye-catching sight. Huayun saw two of them before. They were the most outstanding recent Juniors, whose strength reached Spirit Realm.

Daoling Vast Habitat had never seen such a situation in 10,000 years.

Huayun’s eyes flashed and he looked into the distance. The head of the people wore a female crown and was bowing.

“You are Qingming?”

Huayun’s gaze was indiscernible, one couldn’t tell if he was happy or angry.

“Grand Daughter of Senior Brother Kunming? You are now in charge of the Daoling Vast Habitat? What is up with these heads?”

Qingming’s expression didn’t change, she was really calm, “They incited violence and didn’t follow orders. Qingming beheaded them to send a message!”

Huayun smiled when he heard this, then his tone was filled with a dangerous tone to it, “The reason is not bad, but don’t you know that even the true Palace Head can’t kill a Spirit Realm cultivator?”

The 10,000 people held their breaths. There were some who were delighted.

Qingming was still unfazed, “Desperate times call for desperate measures! If I am wrong, then I am willing to be punished!”

Huayun’s brow rose, he looked closely and couldn’t see any fear at all. He laughed, “Good, good, good! Desperate times do indeed call for desperate measures! As expected from Senior Brother Mingkun’s descendant. Yuanmeng putting you in charge before he died was really a blessing!”

His voice shook, reverberating across 10 miles. Some lower cultivation disciples couldn’t take it anymore.

When Huayun’s heavy and furious intent spread out, the dozens of Spirit Realm Experts couldn’t take it and knelt onto the ground.

In the blink of an eye, only Qingming stood.

“You all are annoying!”

His voice was like thunder as he vented his rage. Huayun’s face twisted.

He looked like a 20-year-old energetic teen, his face like jade and extremely handsome.

However, at this time, he looked really vicious, filled with violence and Vengeful Energy.

“I learned about Zong Shou’s matter. This person is abnormal and unrivaled. Wu Xu went all out and was unable to kill him, instead dying himself and causing a blood calamity for us. We were weaker, which is why you all aren’t to be blamed! However, however…”

He said however twice, the tone became fiercer and fiercer, his aura became more domineering!

Under the intent suppression, all the Spirit Realm Experts here all bled from their mouths.

The greenstone ground started to crack.

“However, we are now in danger and facing a crisis, yet you all dare to fight amongst yourselves and compete for power?”

Huayun was enraged and the tens of thousands of people around were terrified.

However, at this moment, a gentle female voice could be heard from behind him.

“Husband! These people couldn’t help themselves, so why find trouble with them?”
