Divine Brilliance - Chapter 303

Chapter 303: Chapter 303 On Psychic Island

This island wasn’t big. From north to south, it was at most 300 thousand feet. It was not much bigger than the flat land on the peak of Gantian Mountain.

However, it was extremely prosperous. From far one could see numerous cloud ships parked there, a total of 6-7 thousand of them. They were all huge warships, looking majestic.

This place was known as the Psychic Island where spiritual energy was bountiful, just slightly worse than the 19 spiritual houses. However, until today no Sect was able to successfully occupy it, becoming a place east of the cloud world where many famous cultivators gathered.

Zong Shou stood at the head of the five tooth giant ship. From afar he could see the 200 ships with huge flags with Xuanyuan twitter in blood red, dancing in the wind.

There were also hundreds of cloud ship circling it.

“Xuanyuan blood flag, the cloud ship of Xuan Mountain City!”

Hu Zhongyuan’s brows widened. Then his expression sunk. He saw that there were thousands of cloud ships that were surrounding the ships of Xuan Mountain City.

“…Wear Ocean Taoyun City, Blazing Flame Mountain City, Yunxia Mountain City… how did these cities have so many warships?”

Looking out, they had nearly 4 thousand ships, close to 10 times that of Gantian Mountain. Just 5 tooth ones they had 200. As for the seven-tooth warships, they were like peacocks standing out from a group of chicken.

The faces of Gu Liekong and the others turned cold and solemn, and their eyes filled with age.

It wasn’t because there were thousands of warships, but that a large number of them should be under Gantian Mountain City.

Zong Ling was furious, his face flushing red, “What a bully!”

Out of all the people, there weren’t any of them who were worried that the warships of the 3 cities would attack here.

This deep area within the cloud ocean was a private plot belonging to the various sects, so naturally, it was under the joint jurisdiction of the sects.

Those beasts and evil spirits beneath the cloud ocean was the various sects and factions, even the entire human race’s biggest worry.

Zong Shou smiled without regard, “Don’t bother about them. I heard that every time a city goes beneath the cloud ocean, they need to report to the Sect here right?”

Seeing Zong Ling and the others all nodded their heads. Zong Shou walked off the boat. He should go onto the shore and deal with the matter before he talked more.

The Psychic island was simply too small, unable to dock the giant ship. The group of them could only switch to small boats to reach the Psychic Island.

The moment he stepped onto the pier, Zong Shou saw Zhu Junhou lead a bunch of people over. Xuanyuan Yiren naturally was included within.

He was still dressed in a robe, a long sword by his waist. He looked valiant and formidable and he gave off a strong aura, extremely handsome. Only his face was a little dark and sunken. However, when he looked at Zong Shou, some sweetness and gentleness flashed in his eyes.

“Why are you 2 days late?”

After both sides greeted one another, Xuanyuan Yiren naturally stood beside Zong Shou. Following which her eyes turned, her gaze falling on Xuan Yunlan, asking “curiously”, “Little Shou is this the 3rd concubine you found? How pretty…”

Xuan Yunlan’s face instantly turned red, Zong Shou also said awkwardly, “What nonsense are you saying? This is my senior Sister, common people path Qingyin School direct disciple, she has a matter which is why she is following beside me.”

Xuanyuan Yiren gave a “Wu” but she didn’t believe it was true or not, her expression acted like she didn’t care. She reached out and held onto Zong Shou tightly, not afraid of the gazed of everyone else.

Zong Shou instantly felt that something wasn’t right, her brows raising as he exclaimed, “Yiren you advanced? Night wandering realm?”

He knew that half a year ago Xuanyuan Yiren used the external pill to have xiantian combat strength. Then she used the pill recipe that he left for her for the chill spirit mysterious sense pill to solve the problems with her cultivation method. She was a dual cultivator and both spiritual and martial arts entered the earth chakra realm.

Looking again now, in just 2 months, Xuanyuan Yiren advances once more. Not only did her true qi reached martial ancestor. Even her soul power had reached the night wandering realm.

Xuanyuan Yiren smiled in glee but she didn’t explain, just taking a few bottles of pills and shaking them in front of Zong Shou.

“…spirit purifying snow pill, the intense chill first pill, extreme mysterious flame pill…”

Zong Shou took just one look and he understood. Normal spiritual cultivation used displaying spells or making talismans to comprehend true spiritual talismans.

The pill refiners of Pill Fountain Sect we’re truly different. They used pill refining to comprehend the path of heaven to comprehend true talismans.

They often say that within the cauldron it had its heaven and earth, having its path. They had a series of pill recipes for disciples to follow and cultivate when they were pill refining.

Xuanyuan Yiren refined those few pills so naturally, she comprehended those few true spiritual charms.

Then Zong Shou’s eyes lit up, his eyes shining brightly. Spirit purifying snow pill? How did he forget? This purify word’s legacy might be recorded not clearly in the common people path records but Pill Fountain Sect which focuses on refining pills had.

In front of him, there was a genius pill refiner that he could ask help from which would help me breakthrough today.

However, at this moment it was convenient to say about that matter. Only heard Zhu Junhou scoff coldly, “Taoyun City is despicable!”

The same with Zong Ling’s tone. Zong Shou scoffed as he looked out at where everyone was looking at, only to see a 40-year-old robed middle-aged man walking over in big strides. His face showed a magnanimous expression.

Without thinking, he only needs to see Lin Ji following respectfully behind and he knew that this person was the Taoyun City City lord Yue Guanyun.

Besides him, two people followed along, their faces extremely old. However, the symbolic features of the wind leopard and flame bear races were apparent. One of them was muscular while the other was thin.

Yue Guanyun walked in front of them before cupping his fists, “Taoyun City lord Yue Guanyun greets city lord Zong. Is city lord Zong prepared to hunt beneath the cloud ocean?”

When Xiong Ba and Feng Nu beside heard that, they both smiled.

Zong Shou didn’t bother to deal with them. If he did, he would be mocked by the few of them which he didn’t have the time or the energy to listen to. He directly dragged Xuanyuan Yiren into the island.

Yue Guanyun’s face turned green, he scoffed coldly, “My subordinates who left for Rainbow City a few days ago told me that the new Gantian City lord is an uncultured and rude person. I originally didn’t believe, but it seems like it’s true!”

The moment he said that the atmosphere on the pier was instantly a spark away from exploding. Xiong Ba laughed coldly, saying at a muscular person behind Zong Shou, “Is that Chai Yuan’s eldest Son Chai Zhou? Your wind bear race is a part of my race. A few years ago because of some small misunderstanding, you split with my Flame bear race. But hundreds of years have passed since then. Today you have no future in Gantian Mountain City. Does the wind bear bloodline want to follow this dumb kid towards oblivion?”

Chai Zhou was one of those following behind Chai Yuan that night. Since Zong Shou took the throne he was forced by Chai Yuan into Zong Shou’s close Guards.

When he heard that he laughed ironically, “I don’t need you to worry! My ruler’s ability and morals are better than the last ruler. Who knows who won’t have a future…”

Following which his expression changed as he stared at a 50-year-old man in the opposite group, “Xie Rong! You dare to betray my Gantian Mountain?”

The group of them suddenly realized that behind the 3 of them, at least ten of them were people who were under Gantian Mountain. All of a sudden their eyes were as sharp as blades as they slashed towards that Xie Rong.

Yue Guanyun smiled but didn’t stop them. He also didn’t have any plans of speaking for Xie Rong.

Xie Dong’s expression changed. After hesitating he bowed awkwardly, “Xie Rong greets the city lord! Our Xijie City already has a year without beast crystal input. The success of failure of this hunt is really important. city lord Yue invited us and also didn’t care about whose side we are on so Xie Rong had to come…”

As he said that, the expressions on Zong Ling and Hu Zhongyuan, etc turned colder and colder.

Even Ling Fakong who stood behind everyone as a sinner gazed with killing intent in his eyes. Xie Rong gritted his teeth, “Since City lord and the rest of you can’t understand then from today on Xijie City isn’t under Gantian Mountain City!”

Yue Guanyun instantly burst out laughing, his pride surging into the heavens, “Since ancient times a fine fowl will only perch on a fine tree. City lord Xie will be blessed for the rest of your life because of your decision today!”

Blessed for the rest of your life?

Zong Shou scoffed coldly. He wasn’t annoyed. These 3 people were trying to piss him off. If he got angry, then he would be falling for their tricks.

Looking behind him, as he expected, everyone was raging. The younger generation like Hu Zhongyuan were all holding onto their weapons. Zong Shou frowned slightly and scoffed, “People don’t talk to beasts. What’s the point talking to these animals? Let’s go…”

After he finished, he led the way to leave. Be it Gantian Mountain City or Xuan Mountain City people we’re stunned. When they heard beast and animal they laughed before following without saying anything.

It caused Yue Guanyun and the other 2 to be shocked. They came over this time, in fact, to check on whether Zong Shou was real or not and also to sow discord. However, they also had the thought of making Zong Shou’s forces turn their backs on him.

Looking at the situation, not only did the Gantian Mountain people follow his orders and not dare to disrespect. Even the Xuan Mountain City Xuanwu ancestors and day wandering spirit masters were respectful.

Their respect for Zong Shou seemed to be even higher than Xuanyuan Yiren. It was like they treated him as their future city lord.

It made them surprised and not understand.

Yue Guanyun’s face turned green, “Only rude words come out from your mouth, didn’t your dead father teach you how to speak to others?”

Seeing Zong Shou not bother to turn back, he heavily scolded, “What my messenger described the day before is still effective! If today you are willing to give up half a province I Taoyun City won’t make things hard for you and will instead help you! If you don’t…”

Yue Guanyun’s eyes were filled with killing intent, his tone turned ice-cold, “I will ensure that not a single brick remains, not a single grass is kept in your Gantian Mountain City!”

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed, his body stopping before he smiled and continued forwards. His eyes flashed coldly, this last sentence from Xie Guanyun had successfully incurred his future and caused killing intent to rise.

What he hated most was being threatened. Now, apart from that, he was also being extorted.
