Divine Brilliance

Chapter 640: Rebuilding Black Fox

Aokun wasn’t in a rush to speak, casually looking all around.

This was a world that was about to be wiped out, but it was tens of thousands of years away from collapsing.

If not for him stepping into Saint Realm, he might not have been able to see the destruction of this world in his life.

However, as long as he reached the peak of the Saint Realm, with the body of the Dragon Race, he could obtain 30,000 years of lifespan. At that time he might have the chance to view such scenes.

Dragon Shadow was sitting solemnly, fully focused as he looked at the core.

“Did you gain anything?”

Aokun knew that Dragon Shadow was here to prove and verify the world creation scenes that Zong Shou predicted.

When a world was created and space swelled, even an End Realm Cultivator couldn’t easily enter.

However, there were some laws and theories that could be viewed and seen when a world was ending.

When his words landed, Dragon Shadow woke up from his focused state, smiling as he turned his head.

“You could say so! It seems like Zong Shou did comprehend a lot that day…”

However, in terms of comprehending the path, at his level it was extremely tough to improve even a little. How was it possible for him to have attainments in 3-5 months?

Due to Zong Shou using up 1,000 years of his life to comprehend the path, most of it was close to its nature and there wasn’t anything wrong with it which made it extremely quick when he verified it.

“However the root of this wasn’t here but in the ‘one’ word! Recently, every time I thought about it I would be inspired, my thoughts linking up. Since 3,000 years ago I was obstructed by the End Realm Barrier. I have not had this feeling for many years…”

As he said this, Dragon Shadow asked, “Why did you come here? Did things occur in the Cloud World?”

Aokun nodded his head with a solemn expression, “Observing Zong Shou, he has a calamity upon him, a succession of problems. If he is not careful he might be wiped out!”

“Calamity?”

Dragon Shadow frowned. He had many disciples, in 10,000 years he taught numerous nominal disciples. However, the one who obtained the true legacy of his Dragon Shadow Sword and who he saw as his heir was only Zong Shou.

If one said that dragons had a forbidden lamella then his was Zong Shou.

“Is it the Heaven Barrier?”

With Zong Shou’s ability and resilience, there was no reason he couldn’t open it up.

What was worth worrying about were the outside evils, problems from other people…

In the Cloud World, there were probably many people who wanted to use this chance to claim his life.

Also, those Lu Family people, do they know about it now? Will they sit around and not do anything?

Aokun surprisingly shook his head, “This small calamity will definitely be broken by Zong Shou…”

“Then it should be those Sects from the Cloud World which the Common People Path couldn’t easily support.”

Dragon Shadow laughed coldly, his expression was dark and cold, “They are sure that I am about to fall, they are waiting for me to use up my lifespan and die!”

Aokun was expressionless, his tone was solemn.

“Although there are still tens of years, old friend has to be careful. I know that there are many secret techniques that can reduce one’s lifespan.”

Dragon Shadow’s eyes squinted, smiling as he looked at Aokun, “You were sealed for so many years. It seems like instead of losing intelligence, you became smarter.”

Aokun broke out into a laugh when he heard this, “In front of that stone wall I can’t move. I kept thinking day and night about where I lost, about what I missed out in the past. If I break out then what should I do. If one think too much naturally one would become smarter. Dragons are the same too…”

Between his eyebrows there was a dark depressed energy that wouldn’t dissipate.

Dragon Shadow’s expression became apologetic, “At that time I couldn’t help you, it is something I have been regretful about! At this moment there is no need to worry!”

Aokun’s brow furrowed and looked at Dragon Shadow in shock. He felt that his old friend’s tone was filled with blazing confidence. Like 10,000 years ago when he used a sword to sweep the world!

At this moment, Dragon Shadow’s back straightened, “At most 3 years, I will definitely live forever in this world!”

Aokun’s eyes lit up and flashed, to do so would mean that he reached the End Realm.

This meant that at most within 3 years, Dragon Shadow would have a chance of breaking through that tribulation!

He knew the personality of his old friend. Since he said it he was totally confident.

He didn’t need to worry about this matter.

Smiling, Aokun directly turned around and was ready to leave.

Dragon Shadow suddenly spoke up, “Aokun I know that you aren’t unwilling, wanting to borrow Zong Shou’s hands to take revenge on that person. After all, Zong Shou is my disciple.”

Aokun’s body was rooted to the spot, smiling without bothering at all, “Do you know that Zong Shou obtained a Qilin Protector Spirit Beast? It is a Fire Qilin, the purest Qilin bloodline…”

His reply made no sense, but Dragon Shadow exclaimed, his eyes opening wide.

Saint King appearing, a Qilin would too…

Out of the 5 elements, fire and water were the most terrifying ones.

Fire could burn everything, water would drown the world…

He knew what his old friend meant. Even if Zong Shou backed down, it was already too late.

Zong Shou who had the Book of Eon was probably the only one who could break fate, to foil the plot of that person.

“I originally gave up, who knew I had a chance to break free which was why I want to fight with this person once more!”

He said without expression, “Don’t worry! I owe your disciple a life, kindness from him helping me open my path. I can wipe out this world but I’m not willing to allow evil thoughts to affect him…”

After saying these words he didn’t stay any longer, leaving this world on his own.

Leaving Dragon Shadow he sighed. Although Aokun said that he didn’t want to use Zong Shou’s hands to do evil, during a special time he might be happy to see it happen. He might even direct and lead him to do so.

Everyone was selfish, he asked Aokun to take care of Zong Shou and that was the price he had to pay. Actually, he couldn’t blame Aokun…

Thinking about it, Dragon Shadow’s brows furrowed. It seems like he should break through to the End Realm soon enough.

※※※※

Zong Shou felt heartache. He spent 100 Grade-9 Mind Stones to form a Spiritual Formation targeting the Yin Dragon, before starting to plan for the Huizhou Island matter.

Gantian Mountain had pretty much completed most of their preparations.

As he knew that this trip was dangerous, Zong Shou went all out from the start.

He shifted 400,000 troops from around Donglin and they were mostly all elite troops.

40 army towns which were formed 3 years ago and had gone through the war, swept through Donglin.

Just Xiantian experts alone, there were 7,000 of them.

The Blood Cloud Cavalry naturally followed. In a few months, the number of them increased by a few hundred and there were 4,700 of them now.

Zong Shou needed to consider the loyalty of the Donglin experts, but he didn’t need to worry about the Blood Cloud Cavalry. The Blood Cavalry Heart Sutra could control the heart.

Even if one had nefarious intentions at the start, after 2 months of training the support Sutra, one would naturally be loyal towards Zong Shou.

Although Donglin had very few Grade-5 Cultivators, there were already thousands of them. If Zong Shou was willing, he could increase them to 7,000.

However, at this moment Gantian Mountain had the ability to select elites. Zong Shou also had the ambition to raise these Grade-5 Blood Cavalry to Grade-6 which was why he controlled the scale to close to 5,000.

What made one happy was that the Poison Detoxifying Pill that Xuanyuan Yiren refined was starting to show its effects.

Recently, some of the cavalry whose poison was deep and had no chances of reaching Grade-6 had some improvements in their cultivation.

Those who were at Grade-5 peak or near there, after consuming the new version of the pill, they were even more delighted.

What he regretted most was that the Blood Cloud Cavalry armor for Grade-6 people appeared slightly weaker.

Next were the subjects who followed the Xue Family back to the Cloud World.

They were all the strongest fighting races within the Fox Race.

Zong Shou took 3,000 from within to rebuild the Black Fox Iron Cavalry.

The outer region was dangerous with common war matters, so only the elites could survive.

A Seven Kill Fox Race which only had 50,000 people had 7,000 Grade-4 and above experts.

Out of 10 there were actually 1-2 who reached Xiantian or were Out of Body Realm Spirit Masters.

This was the reason why the Xue Family could rely on just 200,000 to suppress the entire city.

This newly built Black Fox Iron Cavalry focused on Grade-5 experts.

His Elite Cavalry only weaker than the Blood Cloud Cavalry.

There might be some problems with loyalty. The Xue Family influence was too deep and tough to wipe out. A few months ago he had even killed many of their Race Members.

However, with the Illusionary Heart Mirror in hand and the Nine Tail Sky Fox Blood, he could suppress them such that they didn’t have any other thoughts. He was afraid that they would rebel or that these people wouldn’t go all out for him.

What made him worried was the armor of this army.

Kongqi Sect provided him a set which was specially designed for the Fox Race.

Not only was it as high as Grade-4, he could even purchase it using a loan. However, Zong Shou wasn’t too satisfied with it and only used it temporarily.

Standing in the drill field and looking at the Silver Armored Cavalry that were dashing around, he frowned and thought back to the bit of news he obtained when the Xiang King soul had died after struggling.

The Emperor never expected that his Dynasty would collapse a few years after his death. Who knew that the throne he spent so much effort to build would fall into the hands of others?

He printed all Great Qin Elite armor blueprints and Sutras into the Avici Throne.

The Xiang King was also that confident. Contained inside were also the various secret techniques and blueprints of the Xiang Family Iron Cavalry.

As expected, the earliest period Xiang Family Cavalry couldn’t be compared to Great Qin. However, after getting the throne and modifying it, it had that shocking dominance…

There were many techniques that weren’t suitable for now, conflicting with the nature of the Fox Race.

However, it wasn’t that he couldn’t borrow from it. At that time the strength of the Black Fox Iron Cavalry would definitely increase by close to double…
