Divine Brilliance - Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Yunxia Seven Swords

This Deceitful Sword Ren Qianchou seemed to have purposely waited for Zong Shou so he could say these words. He coldly swept the three of them before taking his leave.

Zong Shou’s brow turned serious, but relaxed after a short while. With some slight interest, he asked, “What about the other six?”

Yin Yang just needed to look at Zong Shou’s expression before knowing that all the words he said before were for nothing. He sighed slightly before answering, “Although there are seven people in the Yunxia Seven Swords, apart from this Deceitful Sword Ren Qianchou, there are Dark Sword Lu Qing and Fake Sword Han Kong, who are the more famous ones and are ancestor rank experts, each taking charge of a land. Apart from that, there are two more, Mist Sword Xie Jun and Rage Sword Yun Tao, who are like Ren Qianchou’s shadows. Their strength is only weaker than that of Ren Qianchou by a level!”

Zong Shou knew what Yin Yang was playing at. Since Ren Qianchou was confident of killing him within half a month, it meant that he was definitely not the only one from Yunxia Mountain who came along. Since the Mist Sword and Rage Sword were often together with Ren Qianchou, then they were most probably here, too.

What he paid attention to now was that Dark Sword. It made him instinctively think about his last life, to the sword intent that he studied and grasped the most.

In the God Emperor game, he was termed by people as the Sword Emperor. In reality, his title also had a “dark” word.

Who knew whether this person walked a path similar to that he walked in his last life, and whether or not he could bring him some surprises.

At the end, Yin Yang’s expression was a little angry. “This person is so arrogant. In three months I will be able to beat him easily, but right now I am not his opponent. Prince, since the situation in Gantian Mountain has changed, if we have no choice, why not seek help from that Purple Lightning Zong Yuan and Zong Ling…”

When Zong Shou heard that, he laughed and didn’t bother to reply. Even if the three people from Gantian Mountain changed their minds and wanted to protect him, and back him to take over the throne, there were some things that wouldn’t change.

They would remove his helpers and lower the influence of Zong Weiran. It was best if they could borrow outsider help to do so, but if not, they could just do it themselves. Moreover, the three of them had definitely come to a common understanding.

He didn’t intend on borrowing the help of those three from the start.

At such a time he didn’t bother to hide his own strength. Now that he was surrounded by wolves, he probably wouldn’t be able to hide it anyways. Why not just show it to others and let those old loyal people lean towards him and see some hope.

Since he was unable to kill people to spread fear today, it would have to wait for the future. After all, this was within Cloud Saint City, and he had to give the City Lord some face.

With the foundations that his father left, he didn’t need to plot or scheme to obtain the Monster King position and control the four provinces.

Although this path would lead him into a dangerous situation and attract the frenzied retaliation of those three, even powers like Yunxia Mountain and Blazing Flame Mountain would go all out with no worry. What he didn’t fear now was this kind of life and death battle. He was the head of the Seven Emperors in his last life, and the most exceptional talent in the Cloud World for centuries, so why would he fear such small dangers?

His martial path was a merger of hundreds of different kinds, obtaining their essences and blending them into one. The more common a path was, the easier it was for one to reach the divinity stage. He didn’t mind proving his path through killing!

The essence that he had absorbed from the Lightning Phoenix egg needed some external pressure to ignite its potential, and digest all the Xiantian essence energy that had settled down between his bones, muscles, and Chakra Meridians.

Directly skipping across the Yunxiao Seven Swords matter, Zong Shou started to think about his fiancee back at home. Who knew whether or not that Meridian Spirit Pill had been completed or not?

——

Quickening his footsteps, when Zong Shou returned back to his courtyard, Xuanyuan Yiren and Li Yunniang nowhere to be seen once more.

However, beside the pill furnace were three pill bottles placed in an orderly manner, along with a “Pill has been refined, don’t take it randomly” note.

Zong Shou opened it up and took a look. It was pure black, looking like a Dragon eye with a slight fishy smell. It looked really similar to the Meridian Spirit Pill that he had refined.

This time he didn’t need to test it. He had a feeling that told him that these pills were the true Meridian Spirit Pills, without a doubt!

“A total of one hundred and thirty-four pills, only using a third of the materials I collected, and only using two and a half kilograms of silver charcoal. This girl just refined it one time, there is no residue heat left within the furnace, so she probably only used four hours…”

Even though Zong Shou was experienced and have seen so many different things in the past, he couldn’t help but feel amazed.

No wonder this girl was taken in as a disciple by that old man Ming Dan. No wonder that Pill Fountain Sect would list her as a direct disciple. Such pill making talents were truly extraordinary!

Even he couldn’t help but feel ashamed for the other Zong Shou. She was probably the definition of a talented girl that even the heavens would be proud of.

“Where did those two woman go off to? They wanted a room here, but I can’t see them at all. They are so mysterious, making it so difficult for one to understand them…”

Zong Shou was feeling really curious, but he was even more eager regarding the pills in his hand.

——

After Chuxue and Yin Yang returned, they locked their doors and started to digest the medicinal properties of the Human Pinnacle Pills.

Zong Shou also locked his room door and directly swallowed one of the Meridian Spirit Pills.

In a short moment, he felt his entire body turn soft and powerless. Looking into his body, he also saw those meridians soften up slowly.

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up, and knew that Xuanyuan Yiren’s Meridian Spirit Pill was effective.

The poisonous elements that had entered his body were countered and neutralized. Moreover, the effects of the medicine were thirty percent better than normal Meridian Spirit Pills and could be listed as high Grade pills!

His body feeling weak and soft, he used his true qi to forcibly command those bones and muscles to stand up.

First was a set of Foundation Breathing Spirit Fist, from soft to tough. It was follow by the Great Blazing Sun Fist, which went from tough to soft.

In the last stance, the fist style changed. The fist technique this time was a mix of both, the Five Round Enlightened King Fist.

After training the foundations and breathing, and then the bones and marrow, came training vital energy and the organs. The Five Round Enlightened King Fist was a basic building and body strengthening fist technique which from Buddhism, used to target the vital energy and the organs.

Zong Shou was training in these three sets of fist techniques just to relax his body and make him feel more comfortable.

Once his body slowly became hot, Zong Shou’s actions changed to become really slow, looking slightly weird.

This was an external Energy Leading Technique, not very similar to any of the Energy Leading Techniques that Zong Shou had created before.

During these past few months when Zong Shou gave great thought to it everyday, and was able to think of this.

He had given up on practicing talisman techniques just for this. He was a blank piece of paper, apart from his soul power increasing greatly.

Drops of cold sweat flowed down his forehead. Zong Shou grit his teeth, fresh blood to oozing out of the corner of his lips.

Using such postures helped extend his meridians. Sometimes he helped straighten them out, while most of the time he just caused them to twist.

In his last life, those people who used the Meridian Spirit Pill to correct their meridians would have the support of instruments. As for him, not only did he not have medicine to numb his limbs, he could only rely on his custom-made Energy Leading Technique…

——

Sweat fell down like rain. After three hours, the meridians within his body hardened up once more. Zong Shou’s body was totally drenched, and beneath his feet were large patches of water.

He had lost all his energy and laid down powerlessly on the ground. It took ten hours for him to slowly recover.

“To think I nearly couldn’t handle it, and all my effort before nearly went to waste. Hey! I think I have invented an interrogation and torture tool. The Meridian Spirit Pill and this set of positions are really a match made in Heaven. Even those Ascended Ancestors would probably collapse…”

Zong Shou shook his head, forcing himself to get up.

He could feel that his body was really weak. Not only were his limbs without any strength, even his soul was.

If someone acted to kill him now, he really had no way to fight back.

Zong Shou subconsciously frowned. He made up his mind that not unless he was safe, or if he had a reliable Protector Spirit Beast or person beside him, he would not easily consume that pill.

When he observed his body, he felt much better. He could clearly feel that his two meridians that were running parallel with one another had been slightly corrected.

Not only were they lengthened as he worked for, they weren’t a total mess, tangled up with one another. They were much more separated, and starting from the energy ocean, they were a spiral-like structure stretching in all directions.

Moreover, the true qi within his Chakra Meridians seemed to have organized some. It was rotating around the two meridians, attracting one another while also repelling one another.

There were some places which were still entangled with one another, which just meant that his Energy Leading Technique wasn’t perfected, and there were some areas that it hadn’t reached. He would have to improve on it in the future. Happily, his reform of his meridians had only just begun.

“It is really like what I expected. The energy conflict has lessened a lot, the only thing I don’t know now is what happens when I use strength with this spiral meridian?”

Zong Shou tried, slightly moving some of the true qi in his body to smack the chair beside him.

The extremely tough iron wood chair burst into pieces. The shrapnels were swept away by a whirlpool of strength.

Zong Shou was totally stunned. He originally thought that he would be satisfied if he could make the chair fall apart. He didn’t expect such a situation to occur.

This spiraling meridian structure was a last resort for him. Now it seemed like it was of really great use!
