Divine Brilliance

Chapter 751: Grievances

“…Within the Cloud World, they started to spread talks about the God Emperor. They said that at the start of the Cloud Desolate Era, there was a secret treasure that fell into the Cloud World and merged with it. Due to this item, the Cloud World was able to produce so many experts! It was said that many Alien Races invaded, not for our Spiritual Energy, but because of this item. However, only by having the luck of an entire world can one obtain this item. Oh? Where is this going?”

Zong Shou shook his head. He didn’t believe much in these random records. The words were messy and all over the place, giving him a headache when he tried to read it.

Zong Shou was also curious about this secret treasure. However, he could only put it aside first for now.

He took out several other records to verify them with one another and only then did he roughly understand what had happened.

“He was chased for several years and he could only rely on the Instant Space Dragon Race, using its powers to hide. So, Aobi also had a Sister! She also liked Aokun, but unfortunately he didn’t like her back. Oh, not only Aobi. Aokun also had a sister known as Aoyue. How does she look? Aokun is so handsome, so this Aoyue shouldn’t be bad too…”

At the start, Aokun’s life was still okay and comfortable. Even if the world hated him, he was able to leave with a beauty. However, many things happened next.

“The Xuanlin Lake was where others ha found him. The Taoist Faction gathered dozens of God Realm Cultivators to attack. It seemed like the leader of the race betrayed him and had a deal with the Taoist Faction.”

Maybe the one who wrote this book came from the Common People’s Path. Although he was really neutral, he mocked the Taoist Faction and felt bad for Aokun.

“Aokun escaped after a tough battle, but also suffered heavy injuries. He also got separated from Aobi and Aoyue. Sigh! This hero formed the Cause and Effect Pellet. Although he was surrounded, even if a Saint Realm attacked, with his ability, he would be able to escape. Unless he wanted to, if not, he wouldn’t be held back!”

“Aobi and Aoyue scattered in the East Ocean and were intercepted by Huayun and captured. There were many suspicious points about this. At this time, the Taoist Faction had a bad relationship with Common People’s Path. They didn’t have extra manpower to continue chasing him. The Taoist Faction used the two of them as hostages to set up a trap to capture him. At that time Daoling Vast Habitat wanted to kill him, but Dragon Shadow rushed over in time to save him. Aoyue went missing after the matter and she is suspected to be dead.”

“…Aobi married Huayun and became Dao Companions, changing her name to Longxuan! Tsk! How cold blooded…”

Zong Shou shook his head, thinking to himself that his brother was such a hero, but who knew he would actually have such a sad past

Women were really the root of all problems!

Although the books didn’t make it clear, Zong Shou could roughly guess. Aobi probably attacked at the crucial moment, which caused Aokun to be unable to escape before the Taoist Ancestor’s intent descended.

This was why Dragon Shadow had to take three hits from the End Realm Expert and set up the Dragon Gate bet.

“So that was what happened! No wonder my brother was so furious everytime I mentioned those two like he wanted to swallow them up.”

“Oh, this Horned Dragon bloodline is really righteous and focuses on brotherhood. Aobi was disowned after the matter and kicked off the registry. Even if the Taoist Faction suppressed them, they weren’t willing to yield. The entire race all escaped to the outer region…”

Zong Shou wasn’t interested in the following matters. He closed the book in his hands and then was deep in thought.

He roughly guessed what Aokun was planning.

How could he miss out such a good chance? He spent so much effort plotting his revenge when Zong Shou was facing his tribulation.

However, there was one thing he didn’t understand. How was Aokun so confident?

In the past, he had spoken about the Survival and Death Path, but even if his comprehension was good, he couldn’t have switched his foundations so quickly.

He didn’t think much about it, but a year later he found out how scary the conditions were that this path required.

Time, Space, Cause and Effect, Destruction, Creation…

It involved many, not below that of the Absolute Beginning!

“Forget it! I can’t be bothered. Remember, this fellow owes me once more!”

Retracting these thoughts, Zong Shou looked forward.

At this moment, there were many silver Flying Knives floating in front of him. There was a total of five of them and they were all lined up ahead in an orderly manner.

This was the Grade-9 Cloud Flame Flying Knife that Kongqi Sect specially made for him.

A year ago he had ordered a full 100, but now he only managed to pay for 50.

Although the Old Man Tianqi grumbled a lot about the death of Wu Xu and Yuanmeng, he was really smart and knew that they were connected as one with the honor and glory of Gantian Mountain. Not only did he have no intentions to avoid and distance himself from calamity, but he got even closer instead. During these days he called several more Spirit Realm Experts back from the outer region.

These newly crafted Flying Knives used many materials and also added new ones, allowing for an increase in quality.

If he looked closely, he could see that there were waves of intents knocking and crashing on the knife.

It caused the Spiritual Sense mark to drill and enter within.

The Book of Eon Extreme Life was floating on top of Zong Shou’s head

The Spiritual Energy within was being swiftly consumed. It was trying its best to maintain the acceleration of time in this place.

Every few hours he would need to shatter some Mind Stones to support its consumption.

The Heaven Barrier breaking date was originally within a month. He had also calculated the acceleration of time within.

However, he now had an idea to borrow the power of the Book of Eon to slow down the speed at which the Heaven Barrier was tearing.

He was controlling two different flows of time and as such the consumption of mind stones was naturally double that of before.

Luckily, he had earned a large number of them recently, enough to pay for the construction of the platform while having extra to use the Book for another five to six years.

At this moment, each day that passed would cause his body to be a little stronger. The God Power he stole was being merged with his flesh and blood, strengthening his bones, tendons and marrow.

Zong Shou was planning to use the Iron Cinnabar method to train, but he found that it was ineffective.

However, yesterday he was able to block a 70% strength hit from himself with a Grade-9 weapon with his bare hands and remain unharmed.

…His 70% strength naturally couldn’t be compared to normal Grade-9 Cultivators. Even if it didn’t include the strength of a country, it could reach Spirit Realm.

His entire body was the same as he pretty much had no weaknesses.

His physical body’s power was also greatly increasing. Its ability to carry Sword Intent was also strengthening.

Until now, only a small bit of the God Spirit Power stored within his body had been used up!
