Divine Brilliance - Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Martial Path Strength

“So it’s Uncle Yin!” Zong Shou heaved a sigh of relief, opening up his sleeves and many talismans flying out, instantly turning into a bundle of flames, spreading in all directions.

In a short moment, all the dead leaves on the ground were all burned up. A portion hit the pine tree, the flames jumping around, burning brightly.

His actions weren’t to cover up his tracks, but instead to wipe out the deathly energy that arose due to his martial arts intent. If he didn’t use the flames of the sun to destroy it, within three days everything within a thousand feet would die!

His Styx River Death Sword had great battle achievements in his last life, all the disciples of the many sects in the Cloud World avoided him.

In the future he knew that he killed too many, after he struck everyone died and there was no life left, so he sealed it and forgot about it. He chose to merge a hundred different kind of paths, a more difficult and arduous sword path.

Just now he had unknowingly used it again.

Such a sword art made use of the death energy in Heaven and Earth, turning into the River Styx Underworld Sword. It claimed lives, and pretty much nothing could counter it. It was like a death god and really close to the path of evil.

If it was possible, Zong Shou would rather not use this set of sword techniques and get noticed by others.

Luckily the person who was watching Yin Yang. He wasn’t afraid that others would learn it, but even watching it was extremely risky. Because Yin Yang was sealed for so long, his mental strength was really strong and wasn’t wavered by his sword intent.

After dealing with the dead leaves and tree, Yin Yang came to his senses, his eyes calmly regarding Zong Shou.

“Using the mind to control the sword, has the Prince really reached the Out of Body Realm? The sword energy seeping out seems even stronger than Xiantian. And this sword technique, I finally know why that Zhao Yanran asked if the Prince knew about sword intent. Your sword is able to connect to the spirit!”

“Uncle Yin! I have only opened up to the seventh meridian of the Body Chakra level and am far from understanding sword intent. I am still at the sword rhythm level and at most better than normal people!”

Seeing Yin Yang’s expression not changing, Zong Shou smiled helplessly, not bothering to explain anymore. “As for the Out of Body Realm I have indeed reached it! Didn’t Chuxue tell you about it during these last few days?”

“She did, she also said that the Prince killed a Xiantian Master with your soul. However, I didn’t believe her…”

Yin Yang nodded his head, am uncertain look flashed across his face, “Even personally witnessing it, I thought I was dreaming. The Prince’s sword technique is unheard of and never before seen. I even had a sort of feeling that I was about to die from lack of strength. I know that if I was in front of that sword I would definitely die! What a pity, if the Ruler was still here, he would be so happy!”

Seeing Yin Yang looking slightly sad, Zong Shou didn’t know what he should say. If his father was here, would he treat him as a devil that took over his son’s body and destroy him? Whether or not his father would be happy was something he didn’t know.

Looking around, he saw that apart from the leaves and pine tree he had used talismans to destroy, there were many fire marks. He had a rough idea, “Uncle Yin, are you comprehending blade strength?”

When Yin Yang heard that, he didn’t continue to reminisce about the past, his brows relaxing. “Yes!” He pulled out a saber and sliced it through the air. A suppresive fire aura spread out for a hundred yards.

Zong Shou could feel that area beside him heat up, but he didn’t react, watching Yin Yang cut out with the blade.

Aggressive like fire, it was indeed filled with a rhythm.

“My body has a fire nature and I cultivate in the ancient secret technique Heaven Burning Absolute Flame blade. My martial path intent is like the charging of flames! In the past three months, after witnessing Prince perform the Great Blazing Sun Fist to teach me the profound meaning within, a few days ago my saber has reached the peak of the rhythm level. However…”

Yin Yang slashed down once more. The flames wrapped out once more, but the power of the flames were reduced this time. That snow bright blade image wasn’t as threatening as before.

Yin Yang gave a bitter smile, “I am prepared to continue working hard to comprehend the strength of this blade technique, but am still unable to. My teacher said that I have amazing talent and would be able to rise up in the path of the saber. The Ruler also said that I would be able to enter the Ascended Realm. But with the current situation, I am just a mediocre person…”

Zong Shou took in a deep cold breath when he heard that. How long had it been since Yin Yang was only an eight meridian Mythic Master? At such a stage, he had actually only reached the requirement to start comprehending martial intent.

No wonder when he was within the tea house he said that he needed a bit more time and he wouldn’t be afraid of that Ren Qianchou. He did indeed have the ability to say that!

It was no wonder why Zong Weiran didn’t hand his son over to those Xiantian experts or his other trusted men, and instead passed him to Yin Yang. It was not only because of his spiritual race identity, but also because of his unparalleled talent on the martial path.

Spending five or six years on Gantian Mountain, if Yin Yang had used his own strength to break the seal of his own body, he would have been able to rise up straight into the heavens in one swoop.

At that time, even if he was still unable to cultivate, Yin Yang alone would have been able to protect him.

He knew that Yin Yang’s progress would be really fast, even exceeding his own, but he didn’t expect that it would be this quick.

Judging Yin Yang with a weird expression on his face, Zong Shou took in a deep breath and swung out with the Lightning Tooth Sword in his hand.

“In the world, clouds are unpredictable, and flame is also really similar. It can be gathered and dissipated. If you spread it out, you can cover thousands of miles, if gathered you can smelt gold and iron! Uncle Yin, you actually have your own comprehension, which I won’t go over. I will only help you out with what is lacking. Although this strength of the martial path is within martial intent, it is also slightly different from the other rhythms, sense, soul, spirit, and divinity…”

That sword shadow made a circle as the surrounding flames were swept up and gathered at the tip of Zong Shou’s sword. Like a tongue of the flame jumping around, it suddenly passed a hundred feet of space and directly arrived in front of Yin Yang.

When Yin Yang was startled, the tip of the Lightning Tooth Sword was just an inch away from the middle of his eyebrows. The tip of the sword was shining with a bright white light, and burning with a strong heat.

What was shocking was that at that moment, Zong Shou seemed to have merged into the flames, wrapping up a heaven-covering amount of flames to overwhelm him, trying to burn him to ashes.

An understanding suddenly rose up in his heart: this was the sword strength of the flame! Zong Shou had actually used the sword rhythm level to reach the effects of the strength level!

“Uncle Yin, do you understand? You are only using your blade to control the fire, you have not yet borrowed the strength of the fire. Everything in the world has a strength. A grass and a tree, the weather changes, even your own identity and power can be displayed within a strength. People who train to the pinnacle can even fight with experts who are at the divinity level of the martial path.”

Yin Yang was listening with utmost focus until he heard that last sentence, when he started to not believe.

To be at the divinity level of the martial path often meant that one was an expert at the Celestial level and above, how could it be something that this strength could go up against?

Zong Shou smiled and didn’t explain anymore.

He also couldn’t say that in his last life he heard that an emperor that had control of thirty-six worlds, using the billions of souls and millions of soldiers under him as his strength to kill a spiritual Grandmaster who was at the cusp of reaching the Celestial Realm in one blow!

The future Cloud World was connected to many different other worlds, which was how they were able to learn of news from other worlds, and was far from as locked up as it was now.

Yin Yang still had his eyes closed thought, who knew how long it took before he drew a breath, “Thank you, Prince, for your teachings. Although I am unable to comprehend it now, I know the path forwards. I just have to directly walk over…”

Zong Shou nodded slightly, he didn’t expect Yin Yang to be able to immediately comprehend his sword. One needed to calm down and think about it to truly turn it into their own.

Since he had already helped him today, why not go all the way. Yin Yang had already totally comprehended blade rhythm and had some grasp of the strength level. If he was able to view a sword sense of the similar nature, he would definitely be able to improve even further.

The fire on the Lightning Tooth Sword in his hand changed once more, turning an intense white. It looked like even the sword body itself started burning.

Yin Yang’s expression changed, immediately focusing his eyes. Coincidentally Chuxue exclaimed from afar, “Young Master, Uncle Yin, someone came! I think they are from the City Lord’s manor…”

Zong Shou was a little startled as he looked over. He saw Chuxue running over, covered in sparrow feathers, even her hair and face had a few feathers.

He couldn’t help but burst out laughing. The reason why she looked like that was also because of him.

The so-called sparrow catching was to catch seventy birds each day, within two hundred feet she couldn’t let any of them fly away. With her speed it seemed simple, but it was actually really complicated and difficult. Moreover, every day it would increase by four to train her battle intuition. These birds all had their own techniques to help them to escape while also helping Chuxue go up against spiritual techniques.

Yin Yang, on the other hand, really wanted to kill someone. He had just obtained some comprehension, but it was interrupted, and he stared over viciously.

Chuxue instinctively paused, subconsciously feeling that the situation wasn’t right. She only felt that Yin Yang’s expression was really fierce and ferocious, while Zong Shou’s expression was a faint smile that showed nefarious intentions.

“You want to slack off again? Since someone from the City Lord’s manor has came, let the servants report, why did you come over? Haven’t all the sparrows flown away now?”

The courtyard that Cloud Saint City arranged for him was not small in size. There were also four or five servants who spent every moment in the front courtyard and didn’t appear, like they didn’t want to have any connection with them.

Seeing that Chuxue’s face didn’t turn red, only feeling embarrassed as she looked up into the sky, using her fingers to scratch her face. Zong Shou smiled as he walked to the front.

The person who came was a Xiantian master close to sixty, his body still strong. He didn’t enter the hall and just waited by the door. When Zong Shou came, he bowed respectfully, asking his followers to hand over a few wooden plates.

“I heard that the Prince ordered several items from my Cloud Saint City weapon shop. I was ordered by the City Lord to help the Prince send it over…”

Zong Shou’s eyes swept the wooden plate. On it were the parts of the external bone, and a full fifty of the Cloud Pattern Talisman knives crafted by the spiritual blacksmiths.

His eyes couldn’t help but squint from smiling. In the next moment, he heard this person say calmly, “We all took matters in our own hands, Prince, please don’t blame us. Also, our City Lord want to tell the Prince that our Cloud Saint City has great scenery and is peaceful, the best area to tour and look around. If you like it here you are free to stay as long as you like!”

After which he bowed once more, bringing the followers behind him and leaving right away.
