Divine Brilliance

“There’s no need to thank me. I won’t miss a chance to kill Yuanmeng. I just wanted to ask. Brother Ao and the Taoist Faction seem like enemies?”

“Only one will live!”

Aokun was calm, “Since they can’t make me surrender, then either they die or I die!”

Zong Shou’s heart jolted. Only then did he understand it.

He was always finding it weird. He was enemies with the Taoist Faction because Gantian Mountain had risen too fast.

Then, what was the reason for Aokun?

Was it to thank him for his kindness? But then he shouldn’t be going all out…

For example, if it was just to help him, he would just harm Yuanmeng or even destroy his cultivation.

There was no need to kill him.

Aokun was one of the reasons why he had to head over to Daoling Vast Habitat.

In his heart, he wasn’t really annoyed, although he suspected this fellow was using him as a gun.

Right after Aokun left the Cloud World, the Taoist Faction acted toward Donglin.

All things made him suspicious.

…If it was that God Emperor who was unable to coexist with him, then they would definitely have a life or death battle. It would either be sooner or later.

Since Aokun said thanks to him, then he was obviously being honest about it.

Keeping silent for a moment, Aokun asked directly, “This time are you preparing to head to Common People’s Vast Habitat to face your tribulation?”

Zong Shou laughed bitterly, where else could he go? Since he had made his mind up to rely on Common People’s Path, then why did he need to hide that fact?

The environment of the Common People’s Vast Habitat was much better and much safer than that of Gantian Mountain for passing his tribulation.

If he did so in Gantian Mountain, then there would definitely be a huge battle. He was also unwilling to drag down those people.

Who knew that Aokun would say leisurely, “Actually, it is the same thing. No matter where in Donglin, I can still protect you. Do you believe me?”

Zong Shou’s eyes turned serious as he turned around, only to see that Aokun gazed over with a clear and firm look, filled with sincere intent.

He was stunned but then he began laughing.

He didn’t suspect him. He remembered that when he met him, he felt a magical trust. Till today it hadn’t reduced at all.

He knew that Aokun would never harm him.

The only thing he was curious about was where did Aokun get such confidence from?

Daoling Vast Habitat didn’t have only Huayun and Longxuan returning.

Yuanmeng’s death would probably even shock the Taoist Ancestor

Thinking about it, Zong Shou comprehended something. He suddenly felt joy.

“Did Master break through and enter the End Realm?”

Thinking about it, that was the only possibility.

If that was the case, then it was a great surprise, a huge joy!

In the last life, Tanqiu was just a Grade-7 Heaven Realm Expert. He couldn’t come into contact with information about such top experts.

In this life, he was able to obtain a rough understanding when he entered the Common People’s Path.

He knew that there were hundreds and even a thousand Saints.

However, there were no more than 40 End Realm Experts. As for True Realm Experts, the number was uncertain, if there were any at all.

It was said that 10,000 years ago, only Xi Zi was half a step from the True Realm.

However, before he was able to take that crucial step, he was surrounded and killed. The Four Religions and even some Outer Region Cultivators of unknown identities.

Who knows who would be able to have such an achievement in this era?

However, once one entered the End Realm, one would become one of the top Cultivators in the region.

Even if there was a difference in strength, it wasn’t a gap in nature.

This was a true mountain he could rely on. From now on, as long as he didn’t offend those extremely amazing people, he could do anything he wanted.

He was also delighted that Dragon Shadow could achieve his wish. His lifespan danger was solved. Once one stepped into the End Realm, one was pretty much at the extreme of the Dao. One could live forever. Unless it was a special situation, if not, one wouldn’t die.

Even if one was killed, not long later, one would reappear in the world.

However, when Aokun heard this, he smiled and didn’t reply. He didn’t confirm or deny either.

Zong Shou was sure that this was the case and was too lazy to ask once more.

“Then, how is Brother Ao planning to deal with Huayun and Longxuan?”

Not only these two people, but the Taoist Faction had two more Saint Realm Experts in the Cloud World.

He also heard that Zhongguang was injured, so would he be able to recover in a month?

Before his voice dissipated, he could see the cold intent in Aokun’s eyes. Even Zong Shou who was so resilient, couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine. He stopped what he was saying.

He still had many doubts in his heart. Aokun stepped into the Saint Realm for just a few years, so where did he gain the confidence to fight two against one?

It was like he had a huge hatred against the two of them, a bone-deep hatred. What was their relationship?

He did the smart thing and didn’t speak. Even if they were brothers, there were some things that couldn’t be asked. They could only help one another and support from the side. There was no need to get to the bottom of everything.

As for Aokun, he wasn’t going to care about how Aokun was going to die with Huayun and Longxuan.

Since this fellow said that, then he believed him.

Thinking about that, the space became silent once more. However, just as Zong Shou was prepared to agree, a voice rang out once more.

“I haven’t congratulated Brother Shou. Your Yin and Yang World Shocking Spiritual Art has seen improvement. Yin and Yang born together, the essences gaining balance once more. You can already cultivate to the Celestial Realm without any problems. Did you enter the room with one girl? Let me guess, is it Ruoshui?”

Aokun smiled, “I thought that the first would be that Concubine Yao. She is really unusual, a weird energy to her body, resonating with the stars. If she duo cultivated with you, she would cause your cultivation to greatly improve…”

“Bullshit!”

Zong Shou felt slightly awkward and scoffed coldly, “Don’t think that you can talk rubbish just because you are my Brother!”

Kong Yao and Ruoshui were different. Although Ruoshui held the Hidden Guards, her position was as his maidservant, just like that of Chuxue.

Based on the rules of this era, she was born to serve him. That was what others saw too.

However, although Kong Yao was his concubine, was that even possible?

It wouldn’t be bad if she didn’t hate him to the core.

As for that duo cultivation, he didn’t think about it. He wasn’t willing to let those rumors spread, causing his top General to hate him even more.

Aokun shook his head, he wasn’t angry about it, “I only want to remind you that you don’t have much time left. The Cloud World can’t keep you.”

His expression turned solemn. This was true.

Within the Cloud World, he couldn’t stay for much longer. A huge tree would be hit by the wind and someone so famous would definitely be targetted.

The battle with the Taoist Faction was fun, but there were also numerous people who felt terrified of him.

“Brother Shou, the Yang energy in your body is too strong and the Yin energy is weak. It is only barely balanced. With your foundations, you would enter Celestial Realm not long later. What would happen to them? You aren’t planning on finding other women outside, right? Snake women? Night Demon race? Or that Luosha Race? Elephant Lady Race? The taste is a little too heavy. Your Brother is worried about you!”

He spoke in a derisive manner.

Zong Shou was also amused, his smile was really wide, “I don’t need Brother to worry about this for me. I will settle it myself. At most, when I return, I will have fun every night!”

This time, it was Aokun who was stunned. Have fun every night? He had just 30 days, even if he did so to collect Yin energy, how useful could it be?

Then, Zong Shou smiled in delight, “Don’t forget that I still have the Book of Eon? I also found many Mind Stones here. After calculation, it is more than enough!”

Aokun was instantly speechless, understanding what he meant. He looked deeply at Zong Shou and then shook his head.

This fellow was really shameless!

※※※※

Days later Gantian Mountain peak. An innocent table was smashed to bits under a giant force.

Xuanyuan Tong was furious, standing in the hall in a domineering manner.

At the main seat, Xuanyuan Yiren was really careful, not daring to even exhale too loudly. Her body was covered in the robes used for pill refining. Zong Shou was the same, his head lowered. He suppressed himself to prevent himself from laughing.

“A full three years! One made pills all day long, the other either cultivated all ran out. Where are my grandchildren? Where is my grandchild?”

He roared out furiously, echoing across the entire Gantian Mountain peak. Although there was a difference between Ruler and Official, at this time, it was like he was Ruler of the palace.

The maidservants and guards outside flushed red. Some couldn’t help but laugh, listening closely to the scolding inside.

Xuanyuan Yiren was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide in the ground, lowering her head and not daring to say anything.

Zong Shou was the same. He had just come out from the cultivation room and was forcefully dragged here by Xuanyuan Tong. Then, he scolded him badly. It was best for him to keep quiet now.

Why did he have to not only be his father in law but also his father’s God-Brother?

“Ruler, you two really…”

Li Sina sat to the side and sighed. Her face was also red. However, at this moment, tears flowed down, “Zong’er is outside every day. If anything happens to him, what would happen to us?”

“Anyway, before my grandson is born, Yiren you aren’t to refine pills. Ruler you better not cultivate either!”

Xuanyuan Tong spoke barbarically before storming out of the hall. Li Sina wanted to say something, but she was forcefully pulled away by her husband.

Xuanyuan Yiren’s face fluctuated. Zong Shou hugged her.

“I have to follow his orders. Wife please forgive me!”

Xuanyuan Yiren was struggling. Moments later, she hugged his neck.

“Only twice today!”

Her tone was really firm. Zong Shou was speechless. He needed to dual cultivate just once each day. The one who wanted it more afterward was Yiren, right?

He couldn’t be bothered reply, instead directly walking into the sleeping hall, only to see that Ruoshui had just woken up on the bed.

Seeing them walk in, she was shocked and fled.

Xuanyuan Yiren instantly pointed toward Ruoshui valiantly, “Husband! Take her down, don’t let her escape!”

“Yes, madam!”

Zong Shou smiled in delight, spreading out his Fox Tails and they stretched toward Ruoshui.
