Divine Brilliance

Looking at the falling Book of Eon, Zong Shou’s eyes were filled with melancholy.

Thinking to himself that 3,000 years of lifespan, thousands of celestial stones were used up just like that?

He sighed emotionally. He then looked into his body and looked at how his internal energy was surging strongly.

Intermediate Celestial Realm…

Zong Shou had stepped past this line a year ago.

The restrictions within the Nine Extreme Death Jail had trained his body, vital energy, and soul to a large extent. The provocative growth from the bloodline increase and also viewing the scenes of the Absolute Beginning and also along with these few years of cultivation.

It caused both his martial and spiritual cultivation to step across the Intermediate Celestial Realm line.

However, at this moment, it was only starting to stabilize.

It was far from what he expected which was reaching the peak of the Intermediate Realm.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but sigh. As expected, after reaching the Celestial Realm, it was tough to have any improvement at all.

He had the pure blood of the Sky Burning Lu Family and also the legacies of both the Qilin and the Lu Family. However, it was still so tough for him to improve. As such, one could imagine how much tougher it was for other people.

His future cultivation would take hundreds and thousands of years just to take a single step.

This time he was only able to breakthrough due to the scenes of the Absolute Beginning which charged at his soul.

In the future, it would definitely be impossible for him to improve so quickly.

Zong Shou also didn’t dare to take the risk. This wasn’t a joking matter. Once his foundations were weak and unstable then it would take several times, even 10 times longer to make up.

The Demon Sect was able to have quick improvements at the start, but the more they cultivated, the slower it became.

If he had no choice, he would have rather used 20-30 years to step across this obstacle.

After looking into his body, Zong Shou took out his Nameless Sword. A ringing spread out within the room.

The sword body was red in color but there was a three-foot green energy that gathered at the tip.

There was also a vast and majestic Sword Intent that spread out.

Although Zong Shou tried his best to retract it and focus it at the sword tip, there was still a portion that spread out.

It caused the wood on this ship that was comparable to Celestial Realm artifacts to be unable to support it. A creaking sound pierced his ear and it started to shake.

Cultivation Realm to him now was fake. Although it was important, it wasn’t the most important thing and there was no rush.

To be able to borrow the power of King Path Martial Arts to have Saint Realm combat strength, first was his ability to make use of the “Strength” of the Martial Path.

Most small country kings who didn’t have high cultivation would only be able to do a simple use of King Martial techniques. Some might not even have a technique to make use of the strength.

They might be able to suppress low-grade cultivators, but against same grade cultivators they would be forced into a tough spot.

Zong Shou learned the Emperor Wind Technique, it was extremely neutral and when he succeeded it would become really vast and thick.

Normally, when he cultivated, this King Path Secret Technique would be learned naturally, and the use and comprehension of Strength would be no weaker than normal cultivators.

It could even help to expand lifespan. Although one wouldn’t be like a normal cultivator, living forever, after the 13th layer, one would have 2,000 extra years.

Naturally, all of these weren’t important to Zong Shou.

Since he had comprehended the martial path intent to the Intermediate Spirit Realm level, his control of the strength was at peak attainment.

However, Zong Shou wasn’t satisfied with that. He was still too far away from truly being able to compete against those Saint Realm cultivators and it wasn’t just a small gap.

He was also used to using his one unit of power to three units or five units of strength.

To be able to help out while Wei Xu was going through his tribulation and even turn the tables, he would have to have a breakthrough in the Sword Path, to grasp an even stronger Sword Intent.

After the buzzing sound, the sword energy on the Nameless Sword retracted once more.

However, the strength not only didn’t increase but it became more vast.

This time he had spent 3,000 years of lifespan to view the Absolute Beginning once more. However, it was unable to cause his sword intent realm to rise up.

But this Sword Intent had obviously changed. It had been washed by the scenes of the Absolute Beginning. Many useless parts were wiped out, and it was also more precise and had many other things added to it.

Each slight change in the sword attack in his hand would be able to draw and affect Heaven and Earth.

It was more flexible and sentient, the soul and spirit of the Sword Intent were both present like it was a living spirit.

His cultivation wasn’t enough now, but he was relying on this strong Martial Path Sword Technique.

Although he hadn’t broken through, he had already touched the glimpses of that breakthrough.

3,000 years of lifespan not only allowed him to return to the past, but it also included all the consumption when the Absolute Beginning occurred.

As long as he had a few more years of time to comprehend it all, he would be able to be familiar with all of it. Then, naturally he would be able to breakthrough…

“At Celestial Realm to comprehend the sword to the Full Comprehension Realm. If such words were spoken, no one would believe it. From ancient times till now, even if it might happen again in the future, at least it is currently unprecedented…”

Aoyi had also come to her senses. She looked at Zong Shou’s in shock and then smiled gratefully, “Thank you Brother Shou, I owe you a huge favor. Although I cultivated the Cold Ice Dao, the scenes of the Absolute Beginning are still something I dream of. Just two hours and it is comparable to 800 years. As for the End Realm tribulation, I have much more confidence now.”

Her eyes were in a daze and she said in a dreamlike voice, “That is the World Viewing Instrument? The God Treasure that Xi Zi and the Mohists built together? As expected, it is really amazing. Even going through it once, I still feel that it is not enough and I want to see once more. Who knows where this treasure is now? For you to be able to have such an encounter is really fortunate…”

Zong Shou was stunned when he heard this. So this instrument was not only made by the Mohists, Xi Zi had also participated in its creation.

Aokun’s angry voice spread out from the side, “See once more? One more time and my brother is going to be dust on the ground.”

Aoyi laughed when she heard this and didn’t say anything.

Aokun turned to Zong Shou with a complicated expression. It seemed like he was going to scold him, but then he sighed, “Your help really can’t be repaid with just a thank you! We also don’t have to do that. In the future, I just hope that if you want to do such things, you will discuss it with me first. Don’t make me feel guilty. If not, we can’t continue as brothers…”

Zong Shou’s face turned serious, he could hear how solemn Aokun was.

He laughed bitterly in his heart and then nodded solemnly. He then asked curiously, “How was it?”

“All thanks to you it is made up!”

Although he said this, his face was filled with joy and excitement.

“I am still too far away from End Realm, but if I am able to take more Dragon Pellets and Dragon Souls, I will be able to enter the Late Saint Realm.”

Aoyi’s eyes dimmed when she heard this.

At this moment, Aokun didn’t treat himself as someone of the Dragon Race. When he talked about taking the pellets and souls of people of the same race, he didn’t feel jealous at all.

He was really extremely sad and had lost all hope for the Dragon Race.

She was also worried that the Dragon Swallowing Technique that Aokun cultivated would leave problems and she didn’t know how to solve the repercussions in the future.

There were also the four Dragon Palaces. Once they knew about his appearance, they would definitely think of a way to kill him.

At this moment, although the Dragon Race was weaker, they still had a few old End Realm Experts.

Normal End Realm Experts might not be able to handle the two of them, but if those few acted, they might even be able to let a remnant soul reincarnate.

Zong Shou saw it another way, “I really envy Brother Ao now. Thinking about it, this Existence and Destruction Path is the only Grand Dao that can be swiftly cultivated. Other people have to worry about foundations being weak while you don’t have this issue. At the peak, you can fix it by yourself. However, you have to be careful about the Dragon Swallowing Technique.”

He was really envious. He cultivated the Ten thousand Daos merging into one. Probably only when he reached Saint Realm would he be able to grasp a portion of the abilities of Existence and Destruction.

However, it wouldn’t be as pure as Aokun. Naturally, Zong Shou also wouldn’t have much confidence to fix an End Realm Expert’s foundations.

“This is it!”

Aokun smiled, his expression was tough to describe in words, “Unfortunately, although I can fix most of the Creation Law, it is still lacking a little. As for the Dragon Swallowing Technique…”

He laughed out loud, filled with disdain and uncouth. He was also not nervous about it at all.

He was really calm and he smiled like everything was under his control.

When Zong Shou and Aoyi heard this, they couldn’t help but exchange glances with one another. They both saw the relief in each other’s eyes.

Dealing with the Dragon Soul recoil was pretty much comparable to a heart demon. Although it wasn’t able to change like it, it was much stronger. A few dozen and maybe hundreds worked together to strike the soul, that pressure was naturally unthinkable…

Apart from having a strong soul, one also had to be in a calm state.

Aokun now seemed to have understood the gist of it.

When Aokun saw this, he broke into a smile, “I have already solved half of the hatred in the past There is another half which I still have hope of doing. I can do so, step by step, and naturally won’t be too anxious about it. As long as I keep calm, those pieces of trash won’t be able to handle me. Since that is the case, why do the two of you have to worry?”

“Anyway, just be careful.”

Zong Shou didn’t say anything more after this. He believed that Aokun knew what he was doing.

Then, he looked at the ruins of the room in regret.

The effects of this month’s cultivation made him satisfied. However, looking at the broken celestial stone dust in the room, he couldn’t help but feel pain in his heart. His face was ashen white.

“7,400…”

The spoils of war he received from Liu Muchen and the others along with a few which he had before whose spiritual energy was refilled were all used up here.

At this moment, they were all used up.

They were all totally crushed, these stones were unable to be repaired and couldn’t be filled with spiritual energy anymore.

When Zong Shou used the Turning Back Time Technique, the time powers that ravaged had destroyed the structure within.

They were already destined to be broken. In the following time, they just used up the spiritual energy which was hidden within.

Since he had obtained the Book of Eon, riches and things like Mind Stones and Celestial Stones had nothing to do with him.

Often when he got something before he could even have a good look, it would be used up and he would become poor again.

After laughing self-mockingly, a bright glow appeared in his eyes. His blood eyes shot through the void and looked out of the giant ship.

Tianfang World was not far from this place. Now, he was interested in the wealth that Tianfang Guild had accumulated over 10,000 years.

…It would definitely help to fill up his Heaven and Earth Bag!
