Divine Brilliance

“As for what your father obtained and got from the Yin Dragon Canyon, I don’t know. I only know that the day he came out he, rushed south. Then, he was surrounded by 20 martial ancestors. Your Father was strong and killed 3 of them. It wasn’t until 5 grandmasters acted did he flee and get forced into the Oblivion Cloud Ocean!”

Zong Shou’s heart reverberated as he heard that, thinking that his Father was actually so strong to such a level.

There were 20 over ascended ancestors working together, and he still managed to kill 3 of them. Even grandmasters couldn’t manage to take him down. Those terrifying statistics was no weaker than a few years later when he charged up Pill Spirit Mountain.

Xuanyuan Tong said that Zong Weiran had already reached ascended ancestor realm 6 years ago. Counting his age, wasn’t his father only 27 at that time?

He was pretty much suspecting it Zong Weiran also came from the future and also had such deep martial path achievements.

“Rumors has it that he had obtained that book of eon extreme life which was why he would go south. However, that news was most probably false.”

Xuanyuan Tong laughed coldly with a mocking tone,” the past to now is known as eon, everywhere, all directions are known as the universe! That book of eon extreme life is a TOP spiritual technique treasure and it is said that it could control time and even turn back time. How could such a treasure fall in the remains of a martial saint? If there was really such a treasure, not only the 3 vast territories, 5 heavenly places, 10 shrines, and 19 spirit houses would fight for it to the death, but even people from other worlds would stop at nothing to come to our cloud world to fight for it. This people really want your gather dead. Luckily. apart from a few spirit houses, the 10 shrines didn’t believe in it.”

Zong Shou scoffed, that book of eon extreme life was just a spirit master treasure. It involved the most profound and complicated eon and universe talismans.

Control time, what turn back time, wasn’t that too much? They were most likely lies.

However, his heart sank as he thought back to the weird stuff that happened to him. For some reason, he remembered the conversation with that “Zong Shou” before his soul dissipated.

What sooner or later one day you will know. That I am you and you are me. 2 of us are originally one…

Those words sounded weird no matter what, but now that he thought about it appeared really indiscernible and mysterious.

There was also that unknown light that was hidden at the deepest point of his soul.

That Zong Shou said that he wasn’t sure and only knew that it was something he brought, so why ask him?

In the recent few months, Zong Shou has buried this thing in his heart. At this moment he had some understanding.

Was that blue light that so-called book of eon extreme life?

He couldn’t help but smile. How could a fake item in-game be real?

Even if this treasure had crossed ten thousand years with him, how could he explain how it fell into his hands, and how his soul would so coincidentally awaken in this Zong Shou’s body?

He had millions of doubts in his mind. However, this matter was too preposterous, and he directly denied all the possibilities, not thinking about it and just listening to Xuanyuan Tong.

“This is the reason why I mentioned that your Father might still be alive. He wasn’t forced into the Oblivion Cloud Ocean but he had planned to use it to avoid trouble. He definitely got something he wanted there but it wasn’t enough to turn the tides. Naturally, there was another possibility which was the thing he got could cause a calamity but the chance of that is quite small…”

When Xuanyuan Tong finished he sighed, getting back to the topic, “Although my Brother left, the battle for Yin Dragon Canyon is getting more and more intense. Not only those few sects in Donglin Cloud Continent but even people from The Central continent are also interfering. So, the battle for Gantian Mountain king isn’t as easy as it seems. That Zong Shi might not be just relying on his master Gangye Zhenren. How much power could a 9 meridian Xuanwu ancestor have even if he was about to step into ascended realm? Not mentioning me, even Hu Qianqiu with 100 thousand iron tiger race troops could kill him. The only reason would be that Zong Shi Zong Yang each has sects behind them which was why they were able to restrict the subordinates left by Zong Weiran and fight for the monster king spot.”

Zong Shou smiled, laughing lightly. He had predicted it long ago but he couldn’t understand the reason. However, along with the martial saint remains that was about to be released, all the riddles were unveiled.

“People are acting within means. Naturally, there will be people playing moves outside too. West of Donglin apart from Gantian Mountain, Blazing Flame Mountain, and Yunxia Mountain there is also West Ocean Taoyun City which is able to use millions of troops. Roughly 4 months ago, spiritual energy exploded from within the canyon and the sects all thought that the remains were about to appear. Not only did Yunxia Mountain send their most elite fire wolf cavalry, but Blazing Flame Mountain also sent troops and generals. Taoyun City sent 300 cloud warships to descend 2200 miles west of Gantian Mountain. In the end, it was a false alarm but was enough to cause the 3 powers within a Gantian Mountain to temporarily work together…”

Xuanyuan Tong’s tone was calm and composed as he described the situation within Gantian Mountain over the past few months from head to tail. Zong Shou jumped as he heard the story. Although Yin Yang and Hu Qianqiu have described in-depth to him about what happened, they didn’t know as clearly as Xuanyuan Tong.

The doubts that he had amassed before were slowly being solved.

“So after I balanced the pros and cons I decided not to interfere in the Gantian Mountain situation. That place is really sensitive and might explode with a touch. It is okay if we don’t fight, but the moment I help you, people might attack you as the weakest spot. You don’t know martial arts and even if we all protect you we might not be able to protect you, instead of causing harm to you!”

As he said that Xuanyuan Tong revealed a smile, “But now is different! In the past, I didn’t dare to even have such thoughts. But today even if you don’t want to fight for the throne I and Hu Qianqiu wouldn’t agree. The hard work that Weiran built up won’t fall into others! And today we more or less have some chance of winning…”

Smiling as he looked at Zong Shou, asking with a tone like he was asking for his opinion, “Why does the prince think that is? When Brother Weiran was here, we had no chances of winning. But with you, we do?”

Zong Shou didn’t bother to act like he was thinking as he shook his head, “how is the situation similar? When my father was Monster king he was the target. But I could liaise with all sides. Since Zong Shi and the others could join sects behind our backs, I can choose a strong spirit house or sect to cooperate.”

Xuanyuan Tong instantly burst out in laughter, filled with happiness, “That is the case! You are really intelligent! As expected from Weiran’s son. You are transparent. That is the theory. All we ask for is for the Monster king position as for the canyon. It is good if we can get something, it doesn’t matter if we don’t. Out of those 19 spirit houses, there are many we can find to join hands with us. So when you return, what you should be careful is those 3 working together…”

His last few sentences were really solemn, causing Zong Shou’s heart to shake. Thinking about how he should have been fetched by Zong Shiyuan and Zong Yuan back to Gantian Mountain to become a puppet king. After the year Zong Shi would explode and behead him. Those 2 didn’t have anything to say and submitted to Zong Shi.

Seems like there were many hidden struggles within. If one of them was unable to swallow it all, then they had to compromise and work together.

Speaking of which, in his memory, this Xuan Mountain City also disappeared in this generation. He could only remember that 2 years later near the most important passage between Xuan Mountain City and Gantian Mountain- the Rouhai straits, there was a million man war. 4 years later

Linlan City locates north of Tianlan province rose up and took over Xuan Mountain City. He didn’t know whether Xuanyuan Tong and Xuanyuan Yiren, as well as this city of people, would still be alive.

But at that time his head was hanging at the peak of Gantian Mountain for 3 months. There was also no one protecting his body…

With Xuanyuan Yiren’s personality, how could she give up on him?

There was also the iron tiger race. When the God-Emperor game began, there wasn’t such a tribe.

Zong Shou could only feel a heavy pressure bearing down on his head once more. This trip to Gantian Mountain would be filled with many dangers and chaos.

After Xuanyuan Tong finished those words, his expression totally calmed down. He didn’t continue talking about those storms and chaos. Dragging Zong Shou and talking about the past, speaking of how they came to meet in The Central Cloud continent. He suddenly also started talking about interesting things about Xuanyuan Yiren in the past, making her grumble.

He kept rumbling on for a Long time, only until the wee hours of the morning did he let Zong Shou off.

When Zong Shou left the little pavilion at the center of the lake and looked back, only to see Xuanyuan Tong was still drinking on his own. Not bothering about his status as he laughed out, his eyes showing signs of being drunk. Causing Xuanyuan Yiren who was waiting on him to feel a headache.

However, within the pot wasn’t wine but fruit juice. But Xuanyuan Tong was really drunk.

Zong Shou laughed and left the manor. However, when he stepped out, he felt a chill down his spine. A killing intent had sieged him from who knows where.

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed as he looked towards the east. Looking at the time, the one near Cloud Saint City most probably should have found out…

…

Tens of thousands of miles away, in a stretch of houses built in a valley, in the darkest and most secluded one.

Along with an explosion, a white pure spirit stone was suddenly smashed by an eagle claw into dust!

“He actually dared to kill my disciple!”

The voice was really dark whilst having some arrogance. The master of the hand had eagle eyes and a hook nose, his face was really similar to Chou Ling. His chest was rising up and down like he was extremely furious.

“Was it really done by that Gantian Mountain prince? You didn’t hear it wrongly?”

In front of him stood a black robbed old man. His face was covered in sweat as he bowed, “I definitely won’t dare to hide from master! That Yun Xu And Chou Ling’s last investigation target was him. I Guess that most probably his men attacked and killed them!”

“But I thought that Zong Shou couldn’t cultivate? His father has died so how does he still have such a strong person under him?”

That eagle-eyed man frowned, following which he casually waved his hand, “Who cares! Bring a few Xuanwu ancestors over. It’s best if you can kill him and his men. If not I will personally act and end his life!”
