Divine Brilliance

All of a sudden, the sky above the underground lake was so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

Everyone had entered deep thought, Wuji’s eyes shone brightly as he looked at the book in Zong Shou’s hand.

Even if it wasn’t the true Book of Eon, the attraction was greatly reduced. However, Saint Realm experts would be able to analyze it and determine the source.

If he could have this half a book, then they would most probably be able to search for its owner.

Apart from the half that was stolen by that person, this other half in Zong Shou’s hands was the only clue to the Universe Creation Records.

Forcefully snatching it wasn’t the best idea. With the strength of Daoling Vast Habitat, they might be able to attack Gantian Mountain City, although they would suffer heavy losses.

However, how was he going to exchange this half of the book?

Zifang was in deep thought and didn’t speak for a long time, like he was balancing the pros and cons.

The Vast Habitat sent some people over, so as to scout out.

The Universe Book was indeed not here, but they didn’t expect that they would be able to find a thread of clues of the true Universe Book.

At this moment, even he was tempted.

Zong Shou smiled, keeping that half in his hands. “I need to study it closely, the space laws within are helpful to me and I will probably keep it to study for a year and a half. After that, no matter who wants it, can come over to me to exchange…”

At this moment, everyone was slightly delighted. The dozens of Grade Nine cultivators in Sky Demon Vast Habitat all had a glow in their eyes.

They knew that Zong Shou didn’t care who would come to exchange for this book.

Be it Demon Sect or Righteous Paths, he didn’t care. He also didn’t seem like he wanted to be enemies with Sky Demon Vast Habitat.

Wuji’s gaze turned cold, but he instantly regained his calm. This Zong Shou did have two Saint Realm experts behind him!

Not to mention one or five years, they couldn’t even wait half a month. Who knew whether or not Dragon Shadow or Aokun would want it?

There was a way to comprehend that half of the book; one just needed to use secret techniques to make another copy, then Zong Shou could keep it in his hands for as long as he wanted.

Just as everyone was in deep thought, a laugh spread echoed from above the lake.

“What a Gantian Monster King! I owe you a favor this time, thank you!”

No one knew where the voice came from, it reverberated and echoed back and forth, lasting for a long time.

Zong Shou’s pupils froze up as he reached out to tear open the space in front of him to step in.

After a blink of an eye, he appeared in a piece of void. It was coincidentally between the void fissure layers, it was darkness all about and one couldn’t see anything.

“You left really quickly!”

Although that person already left, Zong Shou could still use his intent to catch the slightly discernible energy changes in the distance.

In just a thousandth of the time it took one to flick a finger, the person had escaped.

Actually, at this time, he could still chase him but the outcome probably wouldn’t change and the person would most probably escape. Zong Shou wasn’t one to waste effort, standing still and looking into the distance to try his best to deduce his identity.

“Who is that?”

Shui Lingbo arrived swiftly behind, almost stepping right into this face. Her face was flushed red and her exquisite eyes were filled with rage.

Today, they spied on her time and time again, but she was unable to notice their tracks, making her lose face and feel extremely furious.

“I also don’t know!”

Zong Shou shook his head slightly, his brow furrowed tightly, “I am guessing that it is Shiyue but I can’t confirm…”

“Shiyue? Zong Shou how do you know him?”

Shui Lingbo looked over at Zong Shou with a weird gaze, seeing this fellow grab his chin like he was deep in thought, showing no intentions to explain at all. She scoffed coldly and turned around to look behind him.

“Forget it! However, what are you planning to do with that thing? Are you going to bind it and collect it…”

Zong Shou looked behind, only to see the golden throne actually following over, hanging right behind him.

He couldn’t help but feel amused, this was another annoying problem.

“It is indeed a problem! Anyways, I don’t really want it, however, whoever wants it can take it! It likes me now but I can’t be bothered with it anymore…”

The moment those words were spoken, the golden throne instantly shook like it was crying out.

Shui Lingbo smiled, bursting out into laughter, she had never seen such a person. Just now, he was looking so majestic, suppressing six people with the sword. Silently plotting against the person who tried to scheme, using the Xiang King tomb and also that person who had escaped.

At this moment, he was extremely immature, pouting at an Artifact Spirit…

Looking at the Avici Throne, it seemed like it had decided on its master and there wouldn’t be any changes.

“I am too lazy to bother with you! I will return to the vast habitat, when are you coming back…”

Shaking her head, Shui Lingbo suddenly exclaimed and looked over Zong Shou’s left shoulder.

She saw that there was a scared, little puppy, looking in her direction.

Before this, when they were fighting, she didn’t pay attention. Only now did she notice the presence of that little thing.

“This is your newly accepted protector beast?”

Between man and beast, that mental connection was definitely not wrong. No matter how Shui Lingbo tried to think of it, she couldn’t notice the difference between that thing and a normal puppy.

Looking closely, she had made up her mind, “How ugly! How weak!”

A spirit master couldn’t support many protector beasts.

Even if they were all natural protector beasts, he would still have to provide huge amounts of soul power.

She really didn’t know where Zong Shou found this little puppy to actually waste such energy.

Zong Shou looked at Xiaori. During the battle, just now, the little puppy was really well behaved. Although it had just lost its father, it didn’t make any noise, which made him adore it a lot.

Feeling delighted in his heart, Zong Shou’s eyes twinkled.

‘This fellow? It is called Xiaori, it is a qilin. Don’t be deceived by its appearance, its combat strength isn’t weak…”

The son of a god beast, it was Grade Seven the moment it was born. After ten thousand years, although, it hadn’t grown much bigger, its strength wasn’t to be underestimated.

If it wasn’t for the restriction power of the cloud world, it should have reached the Spirit Realm. It was definitely the strongest out of his few spiritual beasts and his biggest trump card.

Unfortunately, this little fellow probably lacked nutrients, its essence energy was really weak, as well as the tragic matter from before. At this time, even if he made it fight it would be a tragedy. It would also affect its foundations and affect its future.

“Qilin?”

Shui Lingbo couldn’t take it and burst out laughing.

This puppy might have the bloodline of the qilin but it was most probably a distant relative. Who knows what madness Zong Shou was going on about.

She didn’t believe it in her heart, but she was lazy to speak with that fellow. If he continued like this, sooner or later Zong Shou would regret it.

Lazily holding up a red umbrella over her head, she said, “I will return and if you have time, remember to make a trip back to the palace. I’m not saying this, but that old man Hanfang who wants you to go back to take a look! That thing could be considered a country protection treasure, Zong Shou don’t insult it…”

Leaving just as she said she would, a moment later she disappeared right in front of Zong Shou’s eyes, nowhere to be found.

At this moment Xiaori let out a soft roar, seemingly unhappy that Shui Lingbo had looked down on it.

Zong Shou looked at it and giggled, “Little puppy, you really look like one…”

The qilin was at a loss and didn’t know what he meant, its wet eyes looking curiously at his master.

Zong Shou stopped bothering it, turned around and looked at the Avici Throne.

Like it was really afraid he didn’t want it, this golden throne shone out brightly.

The nine carved dragons seemed to have come alive, crawling and swimming around the throne, like it was displaying to him all of its abilities.

Apart from the energy swallowing ability, its other effects seemed to be mostly supportive.

Zong Shou didn’t care much, if it was a real killing artifact, then it would cause him a huge headache.

Naturally, two scenes flashed in his mind, one was a person sitting on the throne and fighting with someone using the sword. Such a scene appeared too arrogant and domineering.

The other was him using the Avici Throne to smack someone. That made one even more speechless.

“Country protecting treasure?”

Zong Shou muttered and then he laughed out loud, “Forget it! I will just keep it…”

Casually waving his hands, he kept the golden throne into his Lingjie ring. The latter didn’t resist, after entering the ring it moved to a corner on its own accord, staying far away from Ruoshui.

Just as Zong Shou was about to tear apart space and return to the underground lake, his brows rose. He casually grabbed and there were several more golden talismans. A total of seven.

These message talismans should have been sent out a few days ago, however, due to the Yin mist blocking the Yin Dragon Canyon, it hadn’t reached him.

Only until now was it able to reach him.

“Eight tail Xue Family, 200,000 Xue Family race troops entered the city. What a coincidence…”

He read the information within the talisman. The first feeling he got wasn’t terror but the urge to laugh out loud.

What should he say? The timing the Xue Family chose couldn’t be more right. Are they asking to die…?

However, scheming against Gantian Mountain, Xuanyuan Yiren and Gantian Mountain’s people, it still made him feel a little uneasy.

Attacking his own people, Xue Family race members were really asking for death!

A dark sharp glow appeared in his eyes as he smiled, closing his fists and he smashed the few talismans into pieces!

“Xue Family, Tailing Sect…”

He muttered lowly as he stepped away. However, moments later he had already returned back to the sky above the underground lake.

The Sky demon Vast Habitat, Daoling Vast Habitat members and the people from the other sects had all left. Even Zifang was nowhere to be seen. Only Leidong and a few others were still there.

Ruotao was also there. After seeing him arrive, he instantly cupped his fists towards Zong Shou and bowed deeply. Following this, he took his leave without any intention to stay.

He was waiting for him here, probably only to bow to him to thank him.

Zong Shou looked at Ruotao and smiled too. He knew that this spiritual sword Ruotao was looking and feeling much different from when he came a few days ago.
