Divine Brilliance - Chapter 333

Chapter 333: Chapter 333 5 Tail Star Tattoo

“These are star tattoos?”

After that, Zong Zheng exclaimed before waving his sleeves behind him, a ball of pure spiritual energy-charged out, trying to break the illusionary technique around Zong Shou.

Zong Shou originally tried his best to block, his hand forming a seal as he chanted. However, in terms of spirit master battling techniques, he was a hundred thousand miles away from Zong Zheng. In a moment later, the illusionary technique showed signs of being broken. Zong Shou was helpless and used the technique once more, summoning a cloud mist which formed 200 feet around him, blocking the sights of people around.

Then that fox ear fox tail appeared in front of all their eyes. He sighed in his heart. His illusionary technique wasn’t good enough.

Zong Zheng has just seen through the rough appearance of star tattoos on Zong Shou’s body. But when the spiritual energy brushed over, he was startled.

…Zong Shou’s spiritual cultivation had reached the Return to Sun realm! A 14-year-old Return to sun spirit master!

However, at this moment what he paid attention to more was Zong Shou’s body.

“Sky fox monster body! You are a half-monster and had awakened the Monster body, it is the five-star tattoos!”

First, it was a huge surprise following which Zong Zheng seemed to realize something. His expression sinking once more, “Since you already awakened the monster body, then why do you need to hide and cover it up? The so-called star tattoo is the sign of our sky fox emperor, the purest bloodline of the sky fox race. You are born to lead our 10 fox races, the true direct bloodline of our fox race…”

Zong Shou was speechless, did he need to show these fox ears and tails around to recruit people?

Looking at the expression of the people around, be it Ren Bo, Hu Qianqiu or the others their faces were serious and filled with respect. Even Hu Zhongyuan didn’t mock him at all and instead was envious

Priest Zong Ling’s entire body shivered, his face flushing red, wishing that he could just kneel and worship him on the spot. Only Zong Yuan’s face was calm, probably out of all of them, he was the person who didn’t care about the bloodline and identity of Zong Shou.

Even if Zong Shou had nothing at all and became a commoner, he would still risk his life for him.

In the next moment, he heard Zong Zheng mock himself with a laugh,” Before your father went missing, he had signs of awakening the eight tail bloodline. Whilst your monster body directly gave rise to cloud patterns. Speaking of which you two father and son’s blood orthodoxy is purer than us so-called direct bloodlines. That eight tail Xue family’s so-called plot is going to fail this time. From today onwards our sky fox Zong family can live with our backs straight…”

He thought about it seriously, picking out a book stitched out of golden silk and handed it over.

“These are all the spiritual cultivation insights I have gotten from studying the skills of the sky fox illusionary technique. It should be of some help to you. You are a Return to Sun realm spirit master, but in terms of spiritual techniques and seal forming, you are even weaker than those out of body realm experts. That’s outrageous!”

Hearing those words, Zong Shou couldn’t help but feel ashamed. He scolded himself in his heart that if it wasn’t for him not having a proper spiritual master, how would his situation be like that? Although he had trained his spell skills in the illusionary heart realm, how could it be effective in these few short tens of days?

However, he hurriedly took over the golden book and bowed solemnly. He knew that Zong Zheng had hadn’t over his legacy to himself.

Finally, he felt some respect for this old man, thinking to himself that his personality was materialistic. If they could help him then that person was a good person. Anyone who blocked his path was scum and should be thrown into a rubbish bin.

As for what the exact personality of this Zong Zheng was, he didn’t know. He only knew that that person did care a lot about the state of the Zong family and was sincere about it.

As for the thanks, Zong Sheng scoffed coldly, “There’s no need for you to thank me, I just don’t want you to throw the face of my sky fox race!”

After he finished he flung his sleeves behind, ditching the group of people as he left in the distance.

Zong Shou frowned slightly before laughing involuntarily, keeping the golden book into his heaven and earth-bag. Then he formed some hand signs to hide his monster body into the illusionary technique.

Zong Ling frowned slightly as he didn’t understand, “Your highness doesn’t need to hide it. If they know that your highness has awakened the five tail star tattoo body, not only would the heart of our sky fox race but the entire Gantian Mountain’s spirits would rise.”

Zong Shou didn’t speak, speaking of which Chuxue and Ruo Shui had told him before that this star tattoo monster body represented the orthodoxy of the sky fox race and it had huge prestige.

However, his mentality was that of a human, and he still couldn’t accept the monster body. If there was no need, he wouldn’t be willing to show it to other people.

Smiling and not replying as he walked directly into the Tiegang Hall. Pretty much instantly he felt energy hitting him, be it true qi or soul power it was suppressed to below grade 4.

Even the illusionary technique that Zong Shou had cast just now shook and nearly dissipated.

Luckily he was prepared for that and he had specially strengthened the spell. After a moment it managed to stabilize.

The spell grade was suppressed to grade 3. However, the other people after entering here, their spiritual sense and other senses were also suppressed, and as such he didn’t need to pay much attention.

The entire meeting hall was built according to the building blueprints that Zong Shou took out. 1 main hall, 10 side halls and also hundreds of rooms. It was more than 10 times that of the Tiegang Hall, only able to be built due to the riches of Gantian Mountain of today.

Within the main hall, the place was high on the outside and low on the inside. The deepest portion was a speaker podium whilst it was surrounded by rows of seats around, on a rough count, there were 800.

At this moment, they were mostly filled up. Gantian Mountain had close to a hundred million under their direct jurisdiction, apart from some who didn’t have the conditions to participate in elections, there were 500 people seated within the large meeting hall. There were 400 who were chosen by the people while the last ⅕ were appointed by Zong Shou.

At this moment, most of them looked at a loss, some filled with anticipation, some looking bored. They knew that they were chosen to join this meeting mostly to monitor the pension bank as well as those loan systems. However, they didn’t know why Zong Shou would hurriedly summon them all here.

When Zong Shou walked in, all of them bowed and greeted. Zong Shou didn’t bother, walking towards the throne beside the speaking podium and sitting down. As for Hu Qianqiu, Chai Yuan, etc, they all had seats within this meeting room.

Zong Shou had added rules to the government decrees that people with public jobs weren’t allowed to participate. They, as race leaders, only had titles but no appointments so naturally they could participate. The 2 of them and Ling Xuan instinctively realized that Zong Shou might have some mystery behind doing that. Which was why although they found it weird but they actively participated in the matter, each of them getting a position to participate in the meeting.

When the hall quietened down did Zong Shou finally speak up.

“I summoned all of you here to discuss several government matters. Today we have prime minister Ren Bo who has a great reputation and is familiar with political matters. For the next 5 years, I would like to appoint him as prime minister to deal with all matters of Gantian Mountain. Who agrees and who disagrees?”

Everyone in the hall instantly exchanged glances with one another, the loss in their eyes became even thicker. They were totally confused. No one knew what Zong Shou was getting at.

Even Ren Bo who was standing at the side was startled, standing rooted to the spot.

Until a moment later did Zong Shou pick up a small hammer and with a ‘bang’ smack a golden small bell beside his seat.

“Since no one spoke it means it has been passed. Oh, I forgot to say that in the future anyone that agrees will raise their hand, those who disagree just hit the table. If more than half then it passes if not then it is will be tossed.”

Without waiting for the people to react, Zong Shou waved his sleeves and a bunch of servants walked out passing beast leather to the people within the hall.

“I have sent out a government decree long ago about the 3 departments 6 ministry system, this is what the prime minister drew up regarding the departments and choices for 9 ministers. You all can take a close look at it…”

The people in the hall still hadn’t understood the situation but thinking that since they were people that the prime minister recommended, then most probably he had his reasons. The prime minister was morally upright and had a great reputation and his judgment wouldn’t be wrong. As such, they all raised their hands whilst some people didn’t even bother to read the paper before raising their hands.

People like Hu Qianqiu sharply sensed that on the name list there wasn’t a choice for the ministry of war and ministry of personnel, ministry of justice was also changed into the ministry of commerce.

The waves within Ren Bo’s heart still hadn’t calmed down before it rose up once more. So that day in Rainbow City, Zong Shou wasn’t unhappy with him, but he had to wait till today.

However, what was Zong Shou planning with this?

Another 8 minutes passed and Zong Shou once again smacked the small bell.

“422 people raised their hands so it has passed. Let’s talk about the budget for next year. Simply put, it would be how we are going to spend the income for next year…”

Without needing Zong Shou to signal anything, those servants had passed pieces of beast leather to the people. They all looked out, Ren Bo’s so-called budget needed to use up 8 million grade 4 beasts crystals. This was a good thing, making one feel envious.

This time, without needing Zong Shou to ask, they all raised their hands, afraid their ruler couldn’t see that they were raising their hands, naturally, it was passed without any surprise.

Zong Shou smiled, his face showing nefarious intentions. “Then the 4th item has been approved and made into law. Within the cities under my Gantian direct jurisdiction, all private armies would be dismissed. Who agrees and who disagrees?”

The people in the hall all instinctively raised their hands. A moment later Chai Yuan and Ling Xuan came back to their senses, smashing the table in front of them loudly.

Hu Qianqiu stood up, looking at the people within the hall fiercely and threateningly. Giving them a look of ‘whoever dares agree I will go all out against them’.

Zong Shou scoffed coldly, “Let me add another government decree. Anyone who participates will be protected for life by my Gantian Mountain. If something happens to him, we will stop at nothing!”

The corner of Hu Qianqiu’s lips twitched, and he could only sit down helplessly. There were many in the hall who were afraid of these strong people from the big races. When Zong Shou said those words, immediately there were many who raised their hands once more.

Unfortunately, in the end, it didn’t pass half the number. There were even many from the sky fox main race that didn’t agree.

Zong Shou wasn’t surprised and regretfully shook his head, “234 people, didn’t exceed half, this plan is removed!”

Another hit of the hammer as he smacked onto the little bell. At this moment there were already a small half of the people in the hall that had come back to their senses, their eyes showing that they were deep in thought.

Zong Shou smiled slightly, thinking that after he had done this matter although he couldn’t clean his hands off this matter he could be at ease to spend most of his time to study the martial path.
