Divine Brilliance

Chapter 592: Do You Wish To Enter The Sect?

“When did Ruler manage to merge your spirit with martial arts?”

The moment these words echoed out, pretty much everyone in the tomb looked towards Zong Shou. They were all really curious.

There were only a few people who the Cloud World knew that could merge Spirit and Martial Arts into one, however, they could at most only hit a 20 percent merger rate.

Only this Zong Shou managed to hit 30 percent!

Not only was this a huge strength increase, but Zong Shou’s chance of stepping into the Saint Realm was several times that of normal cultivators!

Zong Shou smiled as he was totally lazy to reply to the question.

However, Wuji’s next words caused everyone to be slightly startled and caught off guard. “Is Ruler willing to join my Daoling’s Vast Habitat?”

The moment those words rang out, even Zong Shou was surprised. Only Wuji’s eyes were burning passionately.

He thought that if the Taoists were able to get this kid, then who would care about that Xiao Xiangzi?

As compared to the kid in front of him, it was essentially like a rock beside a bright jade, it wasn’t worth mentioning at all.

If it wasn’t for Zong Shou being from the Sky Fox race and his identity not matching, he would have even thought that the teen in front of him was the future God Emperor!

Maybe the heavens weren’t that willing for the God Emperor to be too outstanding, which is why they gave birth to such a person to split the powers with him and provide competition.

He thought that Xiao Xiangzi could help their Taoist faction safely get through the Spiritual Wave Calamity.

However, when compared to Jueyu and Wuhui, he was a little dull. Especially when one looked at Zong Shou, he really suspected whether this Xiao Xiangzi, who couldn’t even take a hit, could really support the Taoist faction at that crucial and competitive era.

Or perhaps the tough defeat this time would be a good learning experience for him.

The future successor for the Taoist Vast Habitat probably shouldn’t be decided so early…

After the few Grade-nine cultivators of the Daoling Vast Habitat recovered from their shock, they kept silent and didn’t speak. Anticipation appeared in their eyes.

A bright light shone in the eyes of the Sky Demon Vast Habitat people. They first felt regret that they didn’t think of making the offer earlier, following which, they were anxious.

Only until Zong Shou scoffed in disdain that they all calmed down.

“It’s better that these words aren’t mentioned. Do you not know that I already have a master?”

When Wuji heard this, he frowned, following after, he continued without caring at all. “If Ruler is willing to enter the Taoist Faction, then the Dragon Shadow old man definitely wouldn’t stop you, instead, he would be happy to see it happen.”

Zong Shou’s brows rose, he really thought that this man really didn’t know how to stop. However, speaking of which, this wasn’t the first time that Dragon Shadow and Aokun complained.

Why didn’t he join the Taoists or Buddhists? The Sword Sect was also decent. Why did it have to be Common People’s Path that made him unable to be at ease?

He was lazy to bother about anything anymore, Zong Shou then took the two Extreme Purple Pills in his hand.

After casually taking a look at it, he threw it and two purple lights flew towards Yuan Wushang and Li Wuhui.

The latter was slightly shocked before he kept the Extreme Purple Pill silently.

Yuan Wushang, on the other hand, was really surprised at this.

“I helped her only because I was unwilling to incur your wrath! I didn’t have any good intentions!”

As he said this, Yuan Wushang showed a smile on his face, one filled with joy. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll continue to go against you after my injury heals?”

Zong Shou expressionlessly looked at him, he really was too lazy to reply.

Just three months ago he could already beat him. Naturally, Three months later, he wouldn’t even care about him. What did he have to be afraid of?

Yuan Wushang laughed out loud when he saw Zong Shou’s reaction, smacking the Extreme Purple Pill into dust and directly swallowing it.

In just a moment, his wound started to twitch, and then, an arm actually stretched out at a speed that was indiscernible by the naked eye.

Zong Shou’s brow furrowed as he continued to look at Ruoshui who was in his arms.

Although her injuries had already stabilized, but it still wasn’t enough for the battle.

In terms of injuries, Yuan Wushang was actually hurt worse than Ruoshui. Only that she didn’t have his cultivation. At this moment, she was unconscious and her internal organs were broken, her current predicament made it tough for her to absorb medicinal powers. It was why even at this moment the effects still weren’t apparent.

The medicine wasn’t able to dissolve and spread out properly, even if she ate anymore, it was just useless.

After thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou quickly stabbed in dozens of golden needles on her body, it was only until he saw her breathing become more calm did his brows finally relax.

However, for her to wake up from her current situation, she would probably need to wait until he returned to Gantian Mountain to make plans. Who knew whether or not Xuanyuan Yiren would have the ability to let her wake up?

Upon thinking about this, his breathing became even darker and deeper, his violent intent was really hard to suppress.

If anything happened to Ruoshui, then no matter if it was Xiao Xiangzi or Wuxuan, both of them were going to be buried along with her!

While this happened, Yuan Wushang’s arm had already recovered. Apart from feeling slightly uncomfortable with his new arm, he could do whatever he wanted with it.

He seemed really satisfied at the pill he just took, he then suddenly smiled and looked towards Yanrui, saying with a weird tone, “What did you say just now? That I wasn’t deserving of my fame? That my Six Pinnacle Swords weren’t as strong as they sounded?”

Yanrui was startled and took another step back, it was as if the maniacal teen’s killing intent seemed to have a physical form.

Yuan Wushang seemed to be thinking back on his words, he said calmly, “Oh right! You also said that in front of the Sword Sect, who would dare to talk about swords, right?”

The moment he finished these words, Yuan Wushang flashed and grabbed at Yanrui’s throat.

Feng Taiji’s gaze turned serious as he stepped at Yanrui’s side while stabbing out. The green Sword Shadow stabbed over at the most inconceivable angle.

Yuan Wushang laughed out loud and also slashed in response. Instantly, millions of spiritual specks exploded out.

It wasn’t like before, he remembered the aura of when he fought with Wuxuan. It was really brilliant, really vast and deep! Soul power and internal energy instantly merging into one…

Wasn’t it just mere Spirit and Martial Arts merging into one? I could also do that!

You really looked down on people!

Keng!

A sword sound rang out as Feng Taiji spat out a blood mist. His sword light instantly became chaotic as he was tossed back, his eyes were filled with loss.

All the people within the hall were numb at this moment.

Out of the Six Pinnacle Swords, the third person had already achieved the Spirit and Martial Arts merger…

Yuan Wushang, who couldn’t block a single punch from Wuxuan before, was actually so strong. He was actually so badly injured that he couldn’t properly use his sword…

If this was before, then they would feel extremely shocked. However, at this moment, many thoughts ran across their minds. As expected from someone who was as famous as Zong Shou around the Cloud World!

After Feng Taiji was dejected, his face was covered in shame.

He looked down on this so-called Yuan Wushang, and had even agreed with Wuxuan that he was unworthy to be called one of the Six Pinnacle Swords.

However, he couldn’t even block one sword from Yuan Wushang! Then how could he compete with Zong Shou who was even higher than this person in terms of sword techniques and martial path?

After forcing Feng Taiji back, Yuan Wushang was already grasping Yanrui’s neck, his eyes were filled with crazy bloodthirst.

However, in the next moment, Zong Shou’s aura turned sharp, his eyes were warning Yuan Wushang as he looked over. The latter instantly hesitated, he knew that Zong Shou had relationships with this Sword Sect.

Leidong was his sworn brother, so he would definitely show face. Even if he was unhappy towards these people, he would just be happy to see him teach them a lesson, however, he wouldn’t allow him to kill them.

He didn’t understand it but he knew that in front of Zong Shou, it was really tough for him to kill someone. However, even if he knew Zong Shou’s intentions, he wasn’t willing to follow them.

Coincidentally, at that exact moment, another sword stabbed over from the side.

Yuan Wushang’s brows rose, he looked over in shock. Only to see a blue Sword Shadow fly over. The sword attack was just a basic Grade-eight one, normally, it was far from something he would bother about. However, it had a hard to describe spiritual rhythm emanating from it.

In comparison, if his sword forcefully controlled the spirits of Heaven and Earth to cause them to explode, then this Ruotao made all the five element’s spiritual energy willingly serve him!

This caused huge amounts of spiritual energy to be gathered on the sword.

“Ruotao!”

After coldly scoffing, Yuan Wushang let go helplessly. However, before doing so, he casually smacked Yanrui’s face with a slap.

This slap caused the latter’s teeth to instantly shatter. He also flew hundreds of feet away and smashed into the tomb walls. However, because of Ruotao’s intervention, he managed to keep his life.

As for Ruotao’s sword, it was stopped in time, and was only three inches away from Yuan Wushang.

Yuan Wushang acted like he didn’t see the sword, he smiled with a dark and cold expression. “That slap was to tell you that some words can’t be randomly said. There are some people you can’t ever offend. Do you really think your Junior Brother can protect you?”

He laughed coldly towards Feng Taiji. “Today, I let you live because that fellow is here. If it was someplace else, I would really want to see if you have the capabilities to escape from my sword.”

Feng Taiji’s body slightly shuddered, he tried his best to maintain his calm. However, his lips couldn’t help but turn slightly purple.

Yuan Wushang laughed out loud. “You’re ashamed to be named as one of the Six Pinnacle Swords while I look down on you. When you return, you should scram back to the Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat and only come out after training for three years!”

He looked forward at Ruotao, the latter was currently frowning and pointing at him with the sword in his hand, his gaze was really complicated. Yuan Wushang sighed, “You’re a waste! I originally looked forward to it.”

As for why it was a waste, he didn’t mention it. He just walked to the side, and sat cross-legged to continue to heal his injuries.

His injuries weren’t fully healed yet, but he had a lot of pent up anger that needed to be vented.

This was why at the moment his injuries were slightly better, he eagerly caused problems for Feng Taiji and Yanrui.

At this moment, his mood felt a lot better as his emotions relaxed. He finally focused on fixing his injuries.

On the other hand, Zong Shou coldly looked at Ruotao.

“You’re Ruotao? He’s right, you’re indeed a waste. You sword already has a lock and restriction, a Heart Lock. If you can’t slice it open and break it, then in just a few months, Leidong will pass you. Sword cultivators like us, we need to slash without a thought, why do you care and consider so much? If you can’t bear with it, then don’t. If your Sword Sect is only like this, then they don’t deserve the fame.”

Ruotao was startled, rooted to the spot. He had a stunned look as he gazed at the sword in his hands. It was exactly as what Zong Shou had mentioned.

His sword indeed had restrictions and he really did have a Heart Knot.

After Zong Shou finished, he stopped caring about him. He only reminded him of this solely because of Leidong.

If it was the normal him in Ruotao’s position, then he wouldn’t retreat half a step and go all out to grasp his fate, including the fate of the Sword Sect in his hands. He would definitely not leave it to others.

This was what a true swordsman was!

What the Sword Sect asked for was a person who could truly inherit their orthodoxy. It didn’t matter who it was.
