Divine Brilliance

Chapter 952: Power Slowly Forming

With a thought, the blood-red sword shot out from his sleeves and hung in front of him.

In just a moment, it regained silence. The sword ring sound also ceased.

Was this Nameless Sword Sword Spirit warning him?

However, what was there to warn him about? How weird...

Zong Shou impatiently smacked the sword body to ask it. However, it only made a soft “Wu” sound before going silent.

Zong Shou was totally confused. Thinking about it, the message the Sword Spirit sent over was rage.

It was anger, like a kid having something he loved snatched away.

However, Zong Shou didn’t know why it did this.

He was connected by heart to the Nameless Sword, but it hadn’t reached such a level where he could understand such random noises.

What followed was disdain, like it looked down on that thing.

The Sword Spirit felt like it was being underestimated and dirtied.

This was followed by arrogance and laziness like it was saying “Whatever, I will follow you all, I don’t care anymore”.

However, Zong Shou didn’t know who the “You all” referred to and what it was supposed to care about.

“This sword is actually making a fuss...”

Zong Shou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, thinking to himself that he didn’t do anything to make the fellow angry.

Was it the thing in his hand? It shouldn’t be.

This Nameless Sword Sword Spirit was always really well behaved and it never bothered him.

He had many questions and decided to press down all his questions.

He thought to himself that it wouldn’t be much of a large matter and instead it was more important for him to comprehend the Imperial Demon Slaying Records and this Dao Soldier technique!

This time, he obtained a full 3,000 Low-Grade Celestial Stones alone from Lu Tianqing.

Zong Shou consumed all his finances due to Lin Xuanshuang but it was now all replenished.

Just as well, he could use this time to make use of the Book of Eon Time Acceleration and make these hundreds of Celestial Cultivators in the Jade Tray become his helpers.

Then, he was distracted once more. This time it was because the dragon-shaped mark on his right hand was feeling warm.

He was stunned for a moment before he became filled with joy. He suddenly stood up!

“It is Aokun. He has fully recovered and is rushing over!”

Zong Shou hid his tracks from everyone but two. One was Dragon Shadow and the other was Aokun.

He could sense that Aokun was just less than 200 worlds away from him and was about to meet up with him.

Apart from that, there was another person following by his side.

This was great news. He was about to clash with Tianfang Guild and Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty.

If Aokun could help him, then there was nothing he needed to worry about.

Moreover, if he wanted to comprehend and make out the full Imperial Demon Slaying Records, he needed more than just Yexuan and him.

If one or two more Saint Realm Experts were added in, then the situation would be different.

“Aokun?”

Lu Wubing’s brow rose up and then a bright glow shone in his eyes. He had heard of this person before, like thunder to the ears...

“Is it your sworn brother and the person who was rumored to be able to harm End Realm Saint Venerable? If that is true, then the danger in Yuanlian World could be easily solved.”

Yexuan was originally lost and didn’t really care, but when Lu Wubing said this, he straightened his back and a sharp glow appeared in his eyes.

The only one that could harm an End Realm Saint Venerable?

He was trapped in the Nine Extreme Death Jail for decades and the world actually gave birth to such a talented person?

Zong Shou finished his words excitedly before recalling that the two of them didn’t know.

When he heard this, he burst out laughing.

“In the past, he couldn’t but now I don’t know!”

He hadn’t met him for a few years, so he didn’t know what he had been through and what kind of level his strength had reached...

Dragon Swallowing Secret Technique?

Zong Shou squinted. This fellow cultivated this technique to improve quickly which made him really worried.

※※※※

They met three days later.

Aokun used his Saint Realm Cultivation to cross through the void and he was much quicker than Zong Shou’s Royal Demon God Shuttle.

However, the latter had a few new functions after the addition of new parts.

As long as he selected a location and the rough trajectory, then the shuttle would travel on its own at its fastest speed without any need for someone to control it.

It awed Zong Shou. He didn’t expect that the autopilot and AI functions that appeared on airplanes had already existed 10,000 years ago.

During the 3 days that they traveled, Zong Shou used the Book of Eon to extend the duration to 30 days.

There was one more God Realm Cultivator beside him, so the number of Celestial Stones consumed was increased by a full 10 times! However, it was really worth it.

As expected, Yexuan was deeply immersed in the incomplete page of the Imperial Demon Killing Records.

Based on what this top Sword Cultivator said, he only had this item to spend his time within the Death Jail.

He was pretty much able to take out the complete version including the Dao Soldier cultivation technique and also the Sword Formation.

During the 30 days, Zong Shou just needed to borrow this and the Heaven Grade Dao Soldier cultivation method that Xi Zi created, Source Ocean Spirit Changing Technique, to complement one another.

Normally, when one cultivated Dao Soldiers, apart from the portion that was forced, there would be a group of people who had no hope of advancing, which was why they would choose such a route.

For example, for the Earth Grade Dao Soldiers of the Daoling Vast Habitat, True Martial Swordsmen, there were some Grade Nine cultivators who couldn’t pass their tribulation and used the True Martial God Cloud Technique to reach Spirit Realm.

In truth, it was a short cut but it wasn’t totally that. It wasn’t touch to improve but it was impossible to obtain a complete Spirit Realm ability. Moreover, their gap compared to normal cultivators would grow larger and larger.

Unless one had no hope left, one wouldn’t walk this path.

Only Xi Zi’s Source Ocean Spirit Changing Technique was different. It was created by someone half a step to True Realm, its strength wasn’t that outstanding and was just average in terms of combat levels.

However, it could allow the Dao Soldiers to develop their own Soul Ocean and Energy Ocean to form a True Spirit.

As long as they persisted, they would have hope of returning back to the true path.

Based on what Zong Shou knew, at least 3 God Realm Cultivators went from a Dao Soldier to such a stage.

The benefits from this mix into the Imperial Demon Killing Records helped to perfect one another.

As for the Lu Family Nine Flame Soldier Technique, forget it.

Although it was stronger than the Initial Qin Dynasty one, it was also for the purpose of squeezing out all the potential out of a Dao Soldier.

On the one hand, it increased their combat strength and on the other it increased their lifespan so that they could be used for a longer time.

Maybe due to his personality or due to his values from the previous life. Anyway, unless it was his enemy, he would always leave that bit of face and hope for people around.

The way he thought about things was really simple; since they worked for him, then he had to be responsible for them.

He couldn’t just take from them and not give them anything in return.

At this point, there were still a few missing parts in crucial areas of the Dao Soldier combined Sword Formation.

“The cultivation method is mostly completed and the Sword Formation is mostly fine. I still need Aokun to help me with the rest...”

He stood at the head of the Royal Demon God Shuttle to wait. In his mind, there were still many diagrams as well as the deciphered cultivation method incantations.

Moments later, helplessness appeared on his face.

99% percent didn’t look far from completion.

However, this final 1% was the most crucial part. An unexpected mistake could lead to death and one had to be really careful.

However, due to being restricted by his cultivation, Yexuan and Zong Shou couldn’t do any better.

They could only wait for Aokun and the other person who was said to be half step to End Realm, Aoyi.

Thinking about this, his Blood Eyes appeared and shone through the void.

This was one of his so-called World Burning Blood Eye’s ability.

Illusionary Techniques were one, controlling the flame was another, twisting matter, as well as spacetime laws, was the third; controlling all lightning in his sights was the fourth. The moment he looked out, he was also able to control all water and fire Spiritual Energy.

Apart from that, there were some other abilities like looking through the void which was something that came naturally.

He could look through the void within 5 worlds around him, such that his Star Dao Seed Teleportation Ability benefited greatly.

In 30 days of time, apart from studying the Imperial Demon Killing Records, Zong Shou was also able to familiarize himself with this suddenly gained eye technique.

He didn’t gain much but he was able to prevent himself from carelessly burning, twisting, smashing or corroding things.

“They are here!”

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up and he finally found traces of Aokun 2 worlds away.

He smiled and retracted his Blood Eye.

In just 15 minutes, Aokun appeared in front of him.

He was still like a few years ago, really casual like he didn’t care about anything.

One could see his caved-in eyes. Zong Shou’s heart tightened.

Was it worth it for that woman?

However, Aokun laughed brightly, “I am not blind!”

He walked onto the boat and swept the people around. When his Spiritual Sense landed on Yexuan, it stopped and then shifted away.

Zong Shou shook his head, he is not blind? To be in such a state was still a little inconvenient.

However, he couldn’t say such words. Instead, he bowed toward the woman in the white shirt who came along with Aokun.

“Zong Shou greets sister in law!”

Aoyi was stunned and then smiled. She didn’t reply but she didn’t retort either.

When she looked at Zong Shou, her gaze became more gentle and close.

Aokun tensed up and then coughed awkwardly, “Before I came to find you, the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty was already preparing to attack Yuanlian World. Ruoshui couldn’t contact you, so she informed me...”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up and then he scoffed coldly, “They are asking to die!”

Aokun didn’t reply like he agreed too. Zong Shou asked.

“Is it okay with the Taoist Faction and the Instant Space Dragon Race?”

When Aokun heard this, he laughed out loud.

“I am now healed and me not finding them is their good fortune. How would those clowns dare to find trouble with me?”

His tone was marked with confidence.

Zong Shou didn’t feel that he was insane. The Existence and Destruction Technique could threaten End Realm Cultivators. How would Aokun even bother with normal Saint Realm Experts?

Moreover, he also had Aoyi beside him.

When the two of them joined hands, they would be able to sweep all the Saint Realm Cultivators of Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty.
