Divine Brilliance

The stone platform fell apart and numerous spiritual lights instantly surged out.

Everyone was slightly dazzled. Following this, their bodies moved as they chased right for the light.

Zong Shou’s eyes squinted, what he first caught was a few bits of purple light.

“Extreme purple pill… extreme purple spiritual essence!”

This was the true Extreme Purple Pill! It was also connected to the spirit and could stretch one’s lifespan by thirty years.

Zong Shou drove the sword down, his hand spreading wide and instantly collected several bits of purple light.

At this moment, there were several people nearby who tried to fight for the Extreme Purple Pill.

However, seeing Zong Shou rush over, they sighed helplessly and moved aside, not daring and having no way to compete with him.

Even Jueyu and the others avoided entangling with him on it.

Apart from this Extreme Purple Pill, out of the other items buried, there were rare treasures to Heaven Realm cultivators like them. However, it was a little incompatible with the identity of Xiang King.

At this moment, they couldn’t help but compete with that fellow for them…

Zong Shou collected those few Extreme Purple Pills as well as all of the Extreme Purple Spiritual Essence in his hands.

Looking around once more, his brows furrowed. He casually took a Grade Six Magical Artifact long spear and a black long sword but he didn’t bother with the rest of the items.

Although there were many spiritual items here there weren’t many useful ones.

He wanted to take them all and give them to his subjects. However, he remembered the phrase that ‘water might spill if one’s cup is too full’.

The highest value item here was the Extreme Purple Pill. Since he ate the meat he should give the rest of people some soup to drink.

Anyway, whatever the sects gained they had to give Gantian Mountain 80% of it.

He reached out with his hand to collect a bunch of mind stones below into his Heaven and Earth bag.

These mind stones compared to all those treasures were the most unassuming.

However, Zong Shou found several hundred Xuan Grade Three and above mind stones.

Just that pile alone, his Book of Eon would have 250 more days of time. How could he not feel delighted about it?

The Cloud Dream Swamp fragment within this Yin Dragon Canyon was far from just Xiang King tomb.

Thinking about the predicted huge earnings, Zong Shou felt that after he returned he would wake up from his dreams smiling.

At that moment, Zong Shou realized that Shui Lingbo was standing still in mid-air.

Even with the spiritual light covering the sky, she was not tempted. Even if they passed by right in front of her eyes she had no intentions to snatch it.

Zong Shou felt slightly weird, however, he calmed himself down and took out Ruoshui from the Lingjie ring.

He fed her one Extreme Purple Spiritual Essence and as expected her internal injuries were healing at a visible rate, swiftly recovering.

Even without Xuanyuan Yiren helping to save her, at most, in six to ten hours she would be able to fully recover.

He instantly felt relieved and was able to totally abandon his worries. He smiled as he leaned towards Shui Lingbo.

“Junior sister why are you in a trance? If you don’t make a move I am afraid there wouldn’t be a chance anymore…”

Ruoshui’s injuries had already recovered and he was in a great mood. Thus, he was able to joke with Shui Lingbo.

Shui Lingbo was instantly furious, turning around and staring viciously at Zong Shou, thinking that one day he would exceed this kid in the mysterious life golden book.

However, she could only helplessly reply now. Following this, she scoffed in disdain, “Those are just some trash items, what is the point of snatching them? Only you people are interested in them. To think Xiang King was an overlord, but when he died he became such a poor ghost. How pitiful…”

As Zong Shou heard this, he realized that Fairy Taiyuan was the one with the second-most luck and second-best fate after that god emperor.

In the next couple of decades who knows how many top treasures she would obtain? In her body, there was even a Martial Saint Golden Pellet.

No wonder she couldn’t be bothered with the items here.

After speaking a few words of contempt for Xiang King, she used her tender fingers and pointed below, “As for you, you aren’t taking that thing, are you waiting for others to snatch it first?”

Shui Lingbo was pointing at the tip of the high platform. After the outer layer was smashed, a jade material stone beneath was revealed. At the highest point was a golden throne carved with nine dragon shapes, looking really noble and majestic.

However, if one looked carefully using their spiritual eyes, one could see numerous blood red vengeful energy wrapping around it.

Zong Shou took a rough look but he didn’t care, “I don’t like that item, it doesn’t fit my personality. If they can take it, it isn’t really inappropriate…”

Although he was saying this, he was hesitating in his heart.

Just from the first time he gazed at the throne, he already felt that something wasn’t right. Between the item and him, there was some disgust and hate but also an extreme attraction.

More accurately, it was a craving…

At the most extreme, it would even cause him to be distracted, desire forming in the depths of his soul and he instinctively wanted to touch it. In the end, it was the Avici Throne that broke the connection with him which was how he came back to his senses.

He had an uncertain feeling like if he sat on it something would happen. That there would be something that would change.

As for whether it was good or bad he didn’t know about it…

The only thing he was sure about was that this throne had its own initial step Artifact Spirit and would choose its own master.

He was probably excluded by this throne.

So was the spiritual fluctuation he felt outside of the Yin Dragon Canyon from this time?

“You are really weird! This throne was crafted by the Emperor, gathering huge amounts of spiritual metal to go up against the corruption of the King Path energy. You are actually willing to generously hand this item to others…”

Shui Lingbo shook her head, too lazy to speak. Since Zong Shou didn’t want it then could she force him to?

Just as the two spoke, there was already a Grade Nine cultivator who was at the peak of the high platform.

He was delighted as he grabbed the throne. Just as he was about to take it, his face was filled in terror and shock.

Following this, he started to shrivel. In that instant, his skin, meat, and blood seemed to be sucked dry. All that was left was a bone structure.

In the end, he turned into sand and dust.

The surrounding cultivators who wanted to fight for it were all startled. In the end, they unwillingly gave up hope.

After what they had just witnessed, naturally, they didn’t dare to touch it. They each cast spells to try to shift it.

However, every time soul power and internal energy touched the Avici Throne, the vital energy and Essence energy in their bodies would surge out.

Instantly, there were four Grade Nine cultivators around the throne that turned to dust. Only two people fortunately escaped, but half of their bodies were gone, leaving them in a tragic state.

Shui Lingbo exchanged glances with Zong Shou. In the end, she nodded her head, “You were right! It is better to not touch it!”

Zong Shou also felt afraid, this Avici Throne was much more domineering than his Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique.

If he swallowed a person, at least some bits would be left. However, this throne swallowed them entirely.

If he still recklessly tried to move the item, who knows what would happen to him.

He was wary as he looked above. He saw a ball of light surge swiftly over.

The spiritual light was eye-piercing and made one instinctively look away. However, following this, one felt that it wasn’t right and looked over once more, only to see that in the middle was a book-shaped thing.

“It’s the Universe Book!”

“It is really here!”

A voice exclaimed. Following this, everyone looked over. Even those people chasing the spiritual light all stopped and looked over. Their shocked expressions were mixed with passion and desire.

Zong Shou’s brow furrowed, using soul power to gather in his eyes as he pierced through the spiritual light.

Following this, his expression changed.

On the cover was indeed written Universe Creation Records. However, why did it feel different from his Book of Eon Extreme Life…?

In legends, weren’t the two a singular body?

Why at this moment was the Book of Eon in the depths of his soul not reacting at all?

Many doubts rose in his heart which he didn’t have time to think about.

He had to have it in his hands before he could know the actual reason.

Shui Lingbo sighed, suddenly rising in the air. A golden-colored net covered the Universe Creation Records.

“Zong Shou, I want this Universe Book! If you want to fight don’t blame my sword for not showing face…”

Zong Shou’s lips curled up as he pulled out his sword and rose into the air. He smiled, “Whoever takes it away depends on skill. I won’t give you a chance…”

Whether or not this item was the book he still had to get it!

“You said so!”

Shui Lingbo scoffed, only to see that the net was about to cover the book…

A sword light rose, filled with destruction intent, coincidentally slicing apart the net.

“Jueyu!”

Looking forward, Jueyu was a few feet away. Shui Lingbo’s pupils constricted. Another knife shadow sliced through the air.

It sliced through time, forcing him to retreat.

The moment Li Wuhui forced Jueyu back, Yuan Wushang also slashed down with a sword. Millions of spiritual explosions forced him back.

The fight between the few of them tied several times in those few breaths. However, none of them could get close to the Universe Creation Records. Instead, the sword and knife light forced them further from it.

As for those Grade Nine cultivators, they weren’t able to get close. Where the sword and knife energy clashed, just the ripples and remnant energies could take their lives.

They could only look on at the few of them fight with ashen white faces. They gave up any hope of fighting for the book.

Zong Shou was the last to act but he was right in the ascendency. Just as the few of them were dealing with one another, he stepped away and was a thousand feet away from the book.

The few people around were startled. They were at a loss as to whether or not they should attack or continue to fight. Yuan Wushang had already slashed down and a sword light charged…
