Divine Brilliance - Chapter 437

Chapter 437: Dragon Tiger Body Training

He took less than 10 steps out and his spiritual sense told him that all the true qi in Li Zhe’s body had lost control, and his entire body was burning like that of a furnace.

None of the people around tried to help. A heart demon oath came from the heart itself and no one could help. They also roughly understood what Li Zhe had meant with those words from before.

Zong Shou was lazy to bother. He turned around and smiling to the side, “Did you gain anything?”

Beside him stood Zong Yuan. There wasn’t anything interesting about the battle due to his lack of strength, however, another reason was that most of his focus was in observing what Zong Shou did.

“I have gained some comprehension!”

Zong Yuan nodded his head slightly, a light flashed in his eyes before disappearing, “Although the mysterious dragon sword intent and the lightning dragon sword is largely different, there are many similar areas. I have learned a lot but it is still not enough for me to break through to grade 7!”

Most of his attention was also placed on the way Zong Shou charged through the formation. Which was why he comprehended much more on that aspect as compared to martial path intent.

Especially when Zong Shou fought with Muling and Tailing. The change in intent and aura was a huge eye-opener.

Zong Shou smiled happily. He too didn’t expect that Zong Yuan could instantly breakthrough.

In martial path and spiritual cultivation, 3rd to the 4th grade was one step, and 6th to 7th grade was another.

It was easy to cultivate to the 6th grade, but to step across this, some people might take 2-3 years whilst some might not even manage to in ten over years.

This was also why Xuanye and the other 2 were held in such importance by the sect. That was because after grade 7, until stepping into the celestial path, there wasn’t any large obstacle.

Zong Yuan’s comprehension of the maniac lightning sword intent had already reached a high level and as such, it wasn’t tough to breakthrough. However, due to his foundations, it was best to break through only 5 months later.

On the other hand, Ruoshui’s foundations were already enough. Recently, under his instructions, she cultivated the rising shadow sword and also improved swiftly. If it wasn’t for the toxins, she could breakthrough right away.

Following which Zong Shou slightly hesitated before speaking up, “Ruler, amongst the common people mysterious dragon warrior, one person seems to be off…”

His voice was suppressed until it was soft, using true qi to prevent others from listening to it.

However, Zong Shou wasn’t surprised. Long ago he had noticed that amongst the common people mysterious dragon warriors, there were 2 people’s aura which was a little off.

Their strength wasn’t graded 7, but through using some sort of secret technique, they could break through to the grade 7 level at any moment.

The sect allowed so many elite disciples to come out and placed them in danger, naturally, they had ways to ensure their safety.

Only such a thing was something they needed to know in their hearts and didn’t need to be exposed.

At this moment, the original hiding spot was unsafe. Luckily, the common people’s path was like a cunning rabbit with several homes.

Xuan Shu led the people to make several rounds within the forest, ditching all the scouts that were following behind them. In just 4 hours they came to an underground cave.

Although it was a backup hiding spot, this spot was just a little further away from that Yan City Pass. Inside, it was much wider. There were spiritual formations and one person could have one room.

The items stored inside were also in abundance.

Zong Shou was left speechless. These 2 hiding spots looked similar to those terrifying terrorist bases in the future.

The moment he entered it, Zong Shou went into seclusion once more. This time, it lasted for 20 days without anyone coming to disturb him.

The battle of the east of Lewu County resulted in many of those common people mysterious dragon warriors to be badly hurt. Although he was perfectly fine, the power from those grade 7 experts was taken on by the entire cavalry force. He also had an internal armor and also the external bone. Thus although he was the tip of the blade, he was completely fine. They also won the battle quite simply and none of his potential was forced out.

Although he didn’t have any life potential, Zong Shou’s speed in forming the 10th true spiritual talisman was fast.

On the 20th day, another loud explosion broke out within Zong Shou’s soul ocean.

He saw that it was another rune that rose into the air from the soul ocean, hanging high above.

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate, pulling down the terra word god talisman seed from the surrounding, merging with this terra word true spiritual talisman.

That soul ocean storm lasted for a full hour before it finally calmed down.

At this moment, his soul had water, fire, wind, lightning, luck, swallow, purify, stack, illusion, and terra—a total of 10 true spiritual talismans that were hanging above the soul ocean. Amongst which, 5 of them were especially huge and their color was also extremely bright. It showed signs of entering the god talisman level.

Only Zong Shou felt astonished. The size of his soul was so big that these 10 true spiritual talismans weren’t enough to fill it up.

“Legend has it that the soul power of a spiritual master is also related to the physical body. This is why most spirit masters would think of ways to strengthen their bodies even if they don’t cultivate the martial path. They want to increase vital energy, essence energy. As expected, it is the correct decision…”

Normal spirit masters, after forming 9 true spiritual talismans would be able to form more talismans. However, normally it was exceptional to be able to form the 10th one. To form 12 meant that one had high talents and to form 13 was unique.

At this moment Zong Shou felt that, not only the predicted 12, he could even manage to form 14 of them and it would still not be filled up.

“It seems like I can perfect more than just these 5 elements true spiritual talisman…”

Zong Shou was tempted. This was a really good thing. However, if he wanted to fill up his soul, it would affect the time he took to get to grade 7.

However, this price was worth it. Other people would wish to be in his position.

With his spiritual sense to observe the soul ocean whirlpool, he felt that his soul power had increased by a large amount, about 20% as compared to before. However, the purity was the same as before.

At this moment the soul power foundations he had were already enormous. Even just this 20% alone could be compared to a normal grade 6 spirit master.

“Although it increases by a little, it was far from what I expected. Now it seems like to cause a change in nature of the soul power I can only wait until I break through to the day wandering realm! However with the sky mirror soul shining technique, in just a few months my soul can turn yang…”

He was still really delighted in his heart. The 20% increase in soul power made his control over Hanxi and the lightning winged flood dragon much more natural and smooth.

His connection with the former was more firm and he was slightly able to suppress this natural variant to prevent it from attacking him.

Following which he cultivated silently for about 2 days. When his realm stabilized, he had time to spend on other things.

When his spiritual sense swept across the cave, he only felt that most of the people were closing their eyes and cultivating silently. A large portion of them also had some breakthroughs.

There were also many more people, a total of 400 which should be reinforcement sent by the sect. A full 400 mysterious dragon warriors, and one more ascended ancestor whose strength was around the same as Xuan Shu.

Within this small cave, there were close to 900 grade 6 experts!

Zong Shou smiled and knew that this was definitely due to Xuan Shu’s request obtaining the approval of the common people path. He also felt curious and didn’t know how Tailing Sect would react. Would they retreat and give up or go head-on against him?

With what he predicted, it should be the latter.

He reached his hand into his heaven and earthbag. In just a short moment he took out 4 small heaven and earth bags.

It was what he obtained from Tailing and Muling.

5 grade 7 experts in a row were either injured or dead by his hands. Unfortunately, the ascended ancestor from the Great Shang army was too weak. He didn’t even have a single space treasure. Naturally, the number of items he had on him was few and lacking.

Randomly flipping about, they were mostly some pills and talismans as well as some copies of Taling Sect cultivation techniques.

The purple cloud sword and the Taiqing Chengfeng sword within, unfortunately, it wasn’t the full copy and could only be cultivated to below the ascended realm.

Moreover, there would be the materials that these people had collected as well as some spiritual weapons and magical artifacts. Although their grades were high, there weren’t any extraordinary items.

On the other hand, there were many beast crystals and mind stones. In total there were a total of 160 beast crystals, a small fortune.

Zong Shou expected such an outcome. If these few people had any good items they would have used it up to try to flee.

Only when he opened the heaven and earth bag of Tailing did he exclaim.

Flipping his palm, there were 4 pills. Half gold and half red. On the surface, there seemed to be an image of a dragon and tiger which were in a fight.

“Was this the Tailing Sect dragon tiger body training pill of legends?”

Zong Shou took a close look at it for a moment. Without hesitation, he consumed one of the pills.

In just a moment, the bones all over his body gave out cracking sounds like they were unable to take the burden.

An extremely strong and heavy power exploded out from his spleen and stomach. They didn’t gather up and smash about all about, instead they spread out all about the body, pressing down heavily on his entire body.

Then, it formed into 2 different medicinal powers within Zong Shou’s body which clashed at one another.

Zong Shou bore with it, straightening his back and sat downwards. He tried his best to enter a state where his mind was totally clear.

A day or two that passed. When Zong Shou came back to his senses, the medicinal powers slowly dissipated.

Only thing was that his skin was covered in a thin layer of black dirt.

“This dragon tiger body training pill is worth its name. It was like there were two subgrade 7 experts who were fighting in his body. If one’s tendons and physical body were slightly weaker, the body wouldn’t be able to take it.”

He casually waved his fist. As expected, he felt that his already strong power had some growth.

More importantly, his physical body became stronger and firmer. As expected from the rumors which said that only 3 pills and one could build foundations for the ascended realm.

Looking at his body, Zong Shou gave himself a self-mocking laugh, “So my body still had so much poison toxins and impurities.”

Before Zong Shou had time to swallow another pill, he felt the aura of a few people gathering outside.

Zong Shou sighed and he knew that his casual cultivation days were going to come to an end.
