Divine Brilliance - Chapter 1096
Chapter 1096: Full Retreat
The people around were shocked. 32 times… In other words, a month here could be compared to three years on the outside.
Zong Shou shook his head, if he purely used the Book of Eon, the number of Mind Stones would be greatly reduced.
However, the Universe Light Hall did have its own effects. It had a huge range and could provide enough spiritual energy.
Unlike the Book of Eon, after time was accelerated, the time deep within the world didn’t and the spiritual energy around would thin out.
Although the book was a god treasure, after all it was just a record.
The Universe Light Hall was something crafted by the Instant Space Dragon Race for their descendants to comprehend the space-time laws.
Their functions were different, so the two of them naturally couldn’t be compared to one another.
One day within was the same as 32 days on the outside. With the Mind Stones that Zong Shou got from the various Demon Path Sects, it was enough to last for four months.
Everyone knew that time was precious and even 15 minutes of waste meant a loss of Mind Stones.
After today, they all found a corner in the hall to cultivate.
Apart from amassing Soul Power and True Qi to have a change in quality, they also comprehended the Instant Space ability within the hall.
Spacetime Laws were publicly recognized as the most mysterious ones out of all the Daos and one of the toughest to control.
Even if one was able to comprehend a little, one would benefit in their entire life.
Zong Shou calmed back down. Every day he continued to study those Demon Path books to comprehend and then extract the essence from within.
Every nine days, he would toss the Demon Books aside to help solve the questions of the people within. Occasionally, he would be interested and would rattle on about the Heaven and Earth laws that he had comprehended.
He was teaching them while also taking the chance to correct what he himself learned.
He learned many things and was unable to form it into a system. Since he had some time here he could arrange and consolidate them.
The people in the hall were all amazed. They felt that Zong Shou was really knowledgeable and knew about everything under the Heavens.
Anyone with doubts would get an answer from Zong Shou.
They paid more and more attention to Zong Shou’s teachings every nine days.
Even at the crucial point, they would stop their cultivation and listen to what Zong Shou had to say.
Zong Shou’s talks included pretty much everything. He dissected the connection between the various laws and Daos and made it really clear for everyone to understand.
He was able to casually take out words from scriptures and books and describe them. The many theories he said were all unheard of.
Not all were helpful to them but it could increase their knowledge. Although they didn’t have a use for it now, when their cultivation increased in the future they would have a use.
Sometimes when they listened on, they felt enlightened and all their confusion was dispelled. There were even some problems which they themselves didn’t realize they had.
Time flowed and in the blink of an eye a month passed.
Although Zong Shou was within the Universe Light Hall, because of the Zong Family Hidden Guards, he knew all about what happened outside.
The five states had just been calmed down and the rebellions in Donglin and South Wind Cloud Continent were both suppressed.
Although it was stable, there were chances that it might go bad. This was why he and Kong Yao couldn’t fully focus on cultivation. They were also in a tense mind regarding the changes outside.
What made him happy was that along with him being called Shenwu Emperor, the Great Gan situation became better by the day.
Maybe after the Taoist and Confucian Factions lost the support of the Demon Path, they were about to give up, so the world became more stable.
However, what Zong Shou cared about was still Yinyu and Zhongxuan in the Imperial Capital.
He still hadn’t found out where the Qin Emperor Tomb was and the only way would be to pay attention to their movement and adapt.
Recently, the two of them didn’t do anything but there were cases of kids missing each day. Most of them were born at the first light of the day, when the Yang Energy was the most abundant.
Zong Shou thought that the Taoist and Confucian Factions would notice something weird and prevent them. However, for some reason they kept silent.
This stunned Zong Shou. Forget about the Taoist Faction, but for some reason none of the Confucians showed themselves.
The Confucian Faction had many false gentlemen but to become a respected Confucian, at least in terms of morals many people respected them.
He didn’t understand but he didn’t bother much as he himself wasn’t much of a saint.
Although he was angry, he knew that if he interfered it might cause Yinyu and Zhongxuan to pull back and might even start another war between the six factions.
They didn’t have much chance of winning. Moreover, the outer region Night Demon threat was impending. Once war lasted long, they would just waste the lives of soldiers and cause life to be wiped out.
If he was alone, he would be glad to take revenge. He was annoyed with Zhongxuan and wanted to kill him with a sword.
However, after all he was the Emperor of a country. Even if he pitied those children, he cared more about the lives and safety of the people that were under him.
Actually, what he cared most about now was Jin Buhui who to date was still kept in the Imperial Jail in the capital.
The news from the Sword Sect really couldn’t make one feel optimistic.
“We tried a few times but failed. So they couldn’t save him out?”
Zong Shou’s heart sank and he felt really helpless.
“Jin Buhui, you idiot! You used to be smart in the past but now you really are dumb! A true dumb pig!”
He cursed out, his eyes were filled with sharp cold killing intent.
That fatty was one of the few friends he had in this world apart from Leidong.
No matter what Great Shang was planning and what they were going to do with him, sooner or later, he would make Yinyu regret it.
Let’s just hope that Zhongxuan was smarter and not touch his bottom line!
Another half a month passed and Shen Yuexuan finally arrived in the Cloud World. He brought the Sword Foetus with him.
It was still in an energy form but much thicker with Xiantian Energy. The aura was also much thicker.
Apart from that, it was thicker and more heavy.
With a thought, Zong Shou grabbed it. The sword fetus required him to inject his Spiritual Sense in, allowing it to spread out and turn into the shape of a sword.
There was a huge artifact formation inside it. Most of it was empty and he needed to use his Spiritual Sense to forge it out.
However, the small part that was already formed surprised him greatly.
He could sense that the function of the item in his hand wouldn’t be much weaker than the Avici Throne.
However, this sword was different from what he imagined. It didn’t become weaker but stronger instead, much more than he had expected!
Shen Yuexuan said that he wanted to surprise him and he really didn’t disappoint him.
Spiritual Sense spread out and flowed through the entire sword body, scouting out the structure within.
Zong Shou was stunned and looked at Shen Yuexuan in shock.
Just now, he felt something in the sword. Apart from that, there were a few Xiantian Energies different from the Purple Geng Xuan Metal Energy.
“It is Thousand Eye Red Stone…”
Shen Yuexuan was judging the hall and was slightly surprised. He looked at Zong Shou and smiled, “This is my surprise! This item came from a Thousand Eye God Beast that formed into a crystal after it died. It was taken out from a 13,000-year-old Thousand Eye Demon Body and is most suitable as the core of the sword. This item is useless for me, so I gave it to you. Maybe it would be able to help you!”
Zong Shou burst out laughing when he heard that.
Thousand Eye Red Stone, that was something that was recorded in the Common People’s Path records.
Thousand Eye Demon was actually a spider with many eyes and was born with 1,000 eyes. It could wash sharp metal energy and spit it out to harm the enemy.
Legend had it that a stone that was more than 10,000 years old could not only purify sword artifacts, but it could even allow one’s Spiritual Sense to turn from 1 to 1,000.
Apart from that, using this item to refine pills and consume could raise the quality of one’s True Qi and Soul Power. It was a treasure that could only be met and not searched for.
Splitting of Spiritual Sense could allow him to more easily control the 3,000 stars as well as Ten Extreme Imperial Dao Destruction Sword Formation.
Merging this into the One Origin Soul Sword, it could purify the King Path Energy which came over.
It wasn’t how Shen Yuexuan said, maybe it might help him.
However, he still had many questions that still weren’t answered. There were fire, terra, and wood element Xiantian Energy in the sword…
Although it was minute, it caused the quality to be greatly different.
“I heard that any Ruler is connected to the millet and society. That means land and signifies the land all around, millet refers to grain. Great Gan is prosperous due to the fire value. Since this is your King Path sword, then it had to be taken into account.”
Shen Yuexuan said flatly, like there was no need to bother about the expensive ingredients that he had thrown in.”
“Actually, I have quite a lot of Xiantian Energy in my hand, so I just added a little bit.”
Zong Shou didn’t thank him and just nodded. He had remembered this in his heart.
Shen Yuexuan said it like it was a really simple matter but each ingredient that he threw in were all top treasures!
Looking at the sword fetus that had curled up into a ball in his hand, Zong Shou was more and more delighted.
Sharp, light, heavy, this was pretty much an ideal weapon.
He just needed to carve the spiritual patterns and talismans and the future of the sword wouldn’t be any weaker than the God Refined Sword.
“Oh right!”
He suddenly recalled something and pulled Little Gold out from his sleeves.
He recalled that winged shape metal. A month and a half outside was four years in the hall.
Did that fellow swallow the black metal?
However, that fellow was slightly shriveled up as it spat something out. Then, its body constricted into a ball.
Zong Shou was stunned. That item was still in a wing shape and was totally undamaged. His Spiritual Sense was still unable to reach in.
In this world, there was actually something that could make a full retreat from Little Gold’s body?
